Chapter two hundred and thirty second sharpening stone
The flames burned the wind thorn, but the fire assisted the wind, and the speed and power of the wind thorn increased instead of decreasing.
The red flame horse was so frightened and angry that it tried to block the wind thorn with a wall of fire, but it was in vain.
The wind thorn passed through the wall of fire, pierced the body of the red flame horse, and was nailed to its body.
Xu Chunniang took the opportunity to create several more lightning techniques, which exploded towards the injured part.
In a short period of time, the battle situation changed dramatically. The Red Flame Horse suffered dozens of wounds, large and small, and soon fell to the ground due to exhaustion and excessive bleeding.
Just as he was about to pursue the victory, a burst of white light flashed, and the red flame horse that fell to the ground disappeared.
What appeared next was the entrance to the fifth floor.
Xu Chunniang breathed a sigh of relief. This level was actually not difficult. The assessment should be on spells.
But when faced with the Crimson Flame Horse, which is naturally good at fire, and limited by common sense, most people would use water and ice methods to counter it, thus falling into a passive position.
If you want to break the situation, you have to find another way.
Xu Chunniang crossed her legs and closed her eyes, meditating to restore her spiritual energy. It took her two full days to replenish the exhausted spiritual energy in her body.
She stood up and looked towards the entrance. Metal, wood, water and fire had already been experienced. Next, it was earth's turn.
I wonder what will greet her on the fifth floor?
Xu Chunniang stepped into it, and the next second, she lost consciousness and fell into endless darkness.
--
It was drizzling in the sky, and in an inconspicuous corner next to the stove, there was a huge stone placed.
From time to time, people are hammering spiritual minerals and lighting fires to refine weapons here, but that huge stone seems to have nothing to do with this furnace.
Occasionally, the spiritual weapon would become dull, and then someone would polish the blunted spiritual weapon on the boulder.
It turns out that the boulder is a whetstone.
After Xu Chunniang regained consciousness, she found that she had become a whetstone.
To be precise, her soul was imprisoned in this stone.
She tried to release her spiritual consciousness, but found that the sea of consciousness in her soul was empty, and there was no trace of spiritual consciousness at all.
During the days when she was trapped on the stone, Xu Chunniang tried various methods but could not escape from the stone.
She couldn't remember what she had experienced and why she had fallen to this level.
But at this moment, a voice in her heart told her that it was all just a dream.
As long as she wants, she can escape from this dream at any time.
Xu Chunniang did not do as she was told. Monks often sleep poorly and have no dreams. She did not believe this was a dream.
It should be some kind of restriction that trapped her soul in the stone.
After turning into stone, her life seemed to be as long as stone.
Apart from listening to the sound of refining weapons around me every day, there is nothing else to do, and my consciousness becomes more and more chaotic.
Until one day, a rusty spiritual knife was continuously polished on her body, which jolted her and regained her consciousness.
A stone sharpens a knife, and a knife sharpens a stone.
It hurt, as if it was cutting directly into her soul.
The voice in her heart appeared again, telling her that as long as she wanted to, she could leave the dream and get rid of the pain immediately.
If she doesn't leave, she will die sooner or later.
Xu Chunniang did not speak, but silently endured the pain. She regained consciousness in the pain and continued to persevere.
It didn't take long for her to discover that during the process of sharpening the spiritual weapon, the "restriction" seemed to be loosened.
It's just that this degree of looseness is very small, and her soul cannot escape.
The following days were an endless cycle. Every time her consciousness was blurred, the sharpening of the spiritual weapon brought her pain and at the same time made her conscious.
As the "restriction" broke through a crack, the voice in her heart became less and less frequent as she persisted.
In the end, it even stopped appearing for a long time.
As time went by, the originally huge boulder gradually became much smaller.
It wasn't until one day, when it was thrown away outside the stove because it was no longer in use, exposed to the sun and rain, that the sound reappeared.
"Give up, this is just a dream."
"This is not a dream."
Xu Chunniang replied to her inner voice. Although she didn't know why this happened, it was definitely not a dream.
Regrettably, it is obvious that the "restriction" is almost broken.
It happened that at this moment, she was thrown out.
"Such persistence is meaningless, your consciousness will disappear completely sooner or later."
Doesn’t it make sense? Maybe.
Then just hold on until the day when consciousness disappears.
Without a spiritual weapon to sharpen her sword, she could only use her soul to break into the cracks in the restriction.
Her consciousness became chaotic day by day, and she even forgot many things, and only repeated this thing mechanically every day.
The cracks became bigger and bigger under her constant impact day and night.
The voice in my heart spoke again: "If you don't leave, you will completely lose consciousness and turn into a real stone."
"Really? There's nothing wrong with turning into stone. Mountain rocks are eternal. This may not be a kind of eternity. But I think I won't be able to experience this kind of eternity for the time being."
She responded to the voice in her heart and used all her strength to hit the crack that was getting bigger and bigger.
There was a "click", like the sound of something breaking, and then the rocks split open, and Xu Chunniang finally had to escape.
Just as she was getting out of trouble, she remembered that she was in the Seven Star Tower and couldn't help but look around.
Where can I see any furnaces and stones? There is only one entrance to the sixth floor, which slowly appears.
It turns out that all that happened just now was just an illusion.
What seemed like years in the illusion was actually only a few days.
Feeling the long-lost freedom, Xu Chunniang felt calm and had some insights.
The soul has a Taoist heart, and the mountain rocks are like the body. They protect the soul but also imprison it, making the Taoist heart dependent.
The sharpening weapon is like a disaster, which brings pain and destruction while keeping the Taoist mind calm and clear, so that it can continue to move forward.
Her heart is like a rock and cannot be turned around.
Just when Xu Chunniang had such an idea, the Taoist platform in her body kept shaking and actually shrank by three points.
After the Taoist platform shrank, it stabilized and fell silent.
Xu Chunniang was thoughtful, she had seen some records in the Sutra Pavilion.
After building the foundation and building the Taoist platform, the Taoist platform will be higher with each level of cultivation.
After the foundation building is completed and the Taoist platform is high, it is necessary to refine the Taoist platform and condense the golden elixir.
When the level of the Taoist platform is the same, the larger the Taoist platform, the more difficult it is to condense the golden elixir.
On the contrary, the smaller the platform, the more conducive it is to forming elixirs.
However, the size of the Taoist platform is generally fixed, and only a few techniques can change its size.
Xu Chunniang speculated that the changes in the Tao platform in her body may be related to the advancement of her Tao mind.
Only when the state of mind is upright and stable can it help practice.
This fifth level of trial tests the Taoist heart.
She looked at the entrance to the sixth floor, walked forward, and soon her figure disappeared into it and disappeared.
As soon as I entered the sixth floor, I felt the hunting hurricane blowing over me.
