Chapter One Hundred and Sixty One: Three Thousand Steps and Three Questions
When Wu Yi stepped onto the highest point of the ice and snow, the sea of clouds billowed before his eyes. When the sea of clouds calmed down and gradually dispersed, the white jade steps reappeared in front of him, as if nothing had happened before.
Wu Yi lowered his head and looked back. The snowy field behind him also disappeared. On the layers of steps, many disciples worked hard to climb. They were either sweating profusely, or shaking all over, or looking frightened, or looking plain.
Ru Shui didn't know what he saw on the steps of the ladder to heaven.
The only thing that is the same is that more or less Taoism appears in them, either explicitly or implicitly, pushing them forward step by step.
Exhaling a breath, Wu Yi continued his pace. Now he was no longer in first place. There were already several people on the front steps, and the fastest ones were almost a hundred steps ahead of him.
There are three thousand steps, and the last thousand steps are called Dao Xin. This level must be encountered by all monks who step onto the ladder to heaven. It is specially used for monks to understand the Taoist heart.
Even immortals dare not assert that their Taoist minds are unobstructed and smooth, so this level is the most difficult.
After Wu Yi stepped onto the 2001st step, he found that he could still see the disciples in front of him. He did not enter an unknown place like before, but the back figures of these disciples were blurred and hazy, as if they were not with him.
In a time and space, their voices cannot be heard, and the trials that hinder them cannot be seen.
As soon as he stepped onto the steps, countless flames swept over him, seeming to engulf Wu Yi and burn him to ashes.
Sensing the power of the flames, which were just as intense as ordinary mountain fires, Wu Yi walked leisurely in the flames without even opening the aura protective shield.
This third level does not suppress the cultivation level. Wu Yi can use all three paths, and the "Hunyuan Yuan Dao Jing" he practiced is refined into the power of the fire attribute earth veins, especially since Wu Yi has also been soaked in magma once.
The endurance of the flames has been greatly enhanced. Even without this reason, Wu Yi would not have suffered much damage just by passing the blood light directly through the flames.
The first hundred steps were all fire-type attacks. Although the intensity later became stronger and stronger, and even aura creations such as fire crows, fire snakes or fire butterflies were transformed, but they did not hinder Wu Yi for long. Wu Yi was very
He passed the first hundred steps easily and jumped to second place.
As mentioned before, the opponent can be seen in this third level. Those disciples who were overtaken by Wu Yi saw Wu Yi so fast and couldn't help but pay attention to it, but they only saw a hazy figure. I don't know the details.
identity.
After passing the first hundred steps, Wu Yi continued to step on the 2101th step. What was a fire attack before was now turned into a water arrow. As it flew over, the chill gradually deepened and turned into an ice arrow, even more
Hard and sharp.
But these ice arrows at the beginning could not cause much harm to Wu Yi. The fire spirit spread out and rolled towards the ice arrows. The ice arrows melted into water, and then turned into water vapor. Even Wu Yi's clothes were also
Not wet.
In this way, Wu Yi moved forward and climbed thirty steps in a row without encountering any big obstacles. It wasn't until the cloud of water vapor in front of him turned into a strange fish with sharp teeth that Wu Yi slowed down and used the fire energy.
It didn't die after being burned. Instead, the burned strange fish grinned at Wu Yi, looking very ferocious, just like a real creature.
Wu Yi was not bothered by the strange fish, and was as calm and quiet as before. Under the control of Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness, the fire spirit transformed into a cauldron, locked the strange fish in it, roasted the strange fish alive, and refined it into pure
The water is spiritual.
Looking at the blue water aura in front of me, the content of the aura is almost as good as the power of the earth veins that Wu Yi extracted from the earth veins when he was practicing "Hunyuan Yuanyuan Dao Jing", and it also saves Wu Yi's purification work. It's really a good thing.
.
The sleeves of his robe trembled, and Wu Yi put away this trace of blue water aura, which might come in handy in the future.
Continuing to move forward, the number of spiritual objects transformed from the water aura in front gradually increased. Wu Yi began to feel a little bit of difficulty. His Qi Dao cultivation alone could no longer suppress these aura creations. Wu Yi also used the other two techniques one by one.
come out.
What surprised Wu Yi was that in order to escape from the predicament of his rapid fall in the air, the world of stone tablets he re-imagined actually worked wonders at this time.
This was originally just a temporary move. Wu Yi did not invest much resources in the newly imagined world. It was not comparable to the world of stone tablets that he had cultivated for a long time. It was a small world and could not even spontaneously form ghosts.
But after all, it is a small world imagined through visualization. It is a real existence and is not an illusion evolved from spiritual consciousness. It was of great help to Wu Yi's stele suppression move, and its power was directly increased many times. These spiritual creations can be injured even if they are rubbed.
, you will die if you touch it, it can be called a crushing, which makes Wu Yi very happy.
It consumes less aura, spiritual knowledge and energy. This move is really convenient. Wu Yi sighed in his heart.
The reason why Wu Yi did not use the real world of stone tablets before was because the world of stone tablets might be damaged during battles and would be difficult to repair.
The world of stone tablets has gone bad, and the ghosts in it have lost their place of residence. Where to place them, they have lost their place of residence. Ghosts, especially low-level ghosts such as Li Gui, will not survive for long if they are freed from the Yin Qi.
Therefore, Wu Yi used his spiritual consciousness to evolve a world of stone tablets unless he had to. It was very similar to spiritual creations and would disintegrate after use.
Now that there is a substitute, Wu Yi doesn't care about using it. Even after climbing ten steps, the monsters evolved from the water aura that were killed were refined by Wu Yi into pure water aura, which is as big as a child's head.
.
Climbing ten steps in a row, Wu Yi's speed was frightening. However, under high-intensity use, the substitute soon had a crack. Deep in the crack, wisps of cold air slowly seeped out.
After climbing another step, the cracks on the surface of the replacement stone tablet have been connected together, like a spider web, making people feel that it will fall apart with the slightest touch. As for the Yin Qi in it, it has long since passed away, and the inspiration has disappeared.
Wu Yi knew that the replacement stone tablet could no longer be used, so he took it back to the sea of consciousness to warm it up, waiting for it to slowly recover. As for the next steps, Wu Yi planned to use his strength to break through.
It is said to be strength, but it is not just strength. At least every time Wu Yi punches or kicks, fire spiritual energy will appear and scatter the spiritual energy creations in front of him.
After passing dozens of steps in this way, Wu Yi could no longer defeat the spiritual creation with his punches and kicks. He couldn't help but increase the activation of the blood-burning technique, maintaining the state of killing with one strike, and the speed was very slow.
, already very close to the person at the front.
At the last step of the water attribute, a vast sea appeared in front of Wu Yi's eyes, with no end in sight and no entrance to the next step.
Previously, at the fire attack point, the last step appeared to be a boiling magma. Wu Yi was originally a person who came out of the magma. After a brief test, he jumped into the magma without hesitation. Therefore,
Pass the test of fire attack.
Wu Yi has never been exposed to the vast ocean, but in his mind it should not be much different from the previous magma. It just adds more content to test the disciple's character.
But after all, he was not familiar with the water attribute. Wu Yi had never seen the vast ocean since he was born. He had only heard others talk about it. He did not dare to be careless and sent a shadow clone to investigate.
The shadow clone's body points on the sea surface, walking slightly in the waves, comfortable and indifferent, looking extremely chic. The most important thing is that the sea water has not changed at all, and is still as calm as ever.
But the calmer it was, the more Wu Yi felt something was wrong, like the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, after a while, the sea finally showed its violent and manic side. There was no wind and waves. First, a whirlpool suddenly appeared, and then the surrounding seawater filled the whirlpool. The waves stirred up were more than ten feet high. If you could not leave in time,
Caught by such a big wave, the strong water pressure would directly crush the monk and tear him into pieces.
The shadow clone provided Wu Yi with extremely important information at the last moment before it dispersed. The exit was under the sea water, but there were undercurrents everywhere under the calm sea surface, and the randomly distributed rocks were even more deadly. Even if they were not covered by water,
If it is crushed into pieces, it will also die if it hits a rock.
The way forward was clear, Wu Yi's spiritual sense locked the position of the exit, and without waiting any longer, he jumped into the sea. The water was indeed turbulent with undercurrents and full of rocks, but Wu Yi relied on his strong spiritual sense to pull his purpose accurately, even if he was caught by the undercurrent.
Sweeping across the land east and west, the target was not lost.
Even so, it took Wu Yi more than an hour to slowly approach the door. With one step, Wu Yi passed through the door and successfully left.
Before Wu Yi could take a breath, he suddenly found a person standing next to him, whose face he couldn't see clearly. This person was the person who had been ahead of Wu Yi before.
When Lin Qitian was resting and recovering his strength, he was surprised to find that a person suddenly appeared next to him. Although he could not see his face clearly, judging from his body shape, he was the person who was ahead of him before. He did not expect to see him again at this time.
The unexpected opponent made Lin Qitian reluctant to take more rest and hurriedly stepped towards the front steps, intending to get rid of Wu Yi.
Wu Yi had no idea of competing with him for the moment. After all, he had just fought against the undercurrent of the whirlpool, and his energy was low at this time. Why bother to rush for the sake of success? There were still hundreds of steps, and he could leave if he wanted to in just half an hour.
When he goes, Wu Yi will not accompany him. He has his own arrangements.
After climbing ten steps in a row, Lin Qitian couldn't help but look behind him. Seeing that Wu Yi was still standing there, he couldn't help but frown. He guessed that Wu Yi was exhausted and was unable to climb for the moment, but he still felt like a stone was weighing on his heart.
Just like that, I felt very uncomfortable. Was Wu Yi looking down on him and planning to let him go first?
The next three hundred steps correspond to three types of spiritual energy attacks: wood, metal, and earth. Wu Yi spent about five days on each hundred steps. He was on par with Lin Qitian. There was no big gap between the two.
gap.
When Wu Yi broke through the barrier, he also collected some pure spiritual energy that remained after the spiritual energy creation was destroyed. Each one was the size of a bamboo basket, and it was enough to train this disciple for several months.
In the end, there were only 500 steps left. The first half of the journey was a five-element attack. What was behind? Wu Yi cast his eyes forward and stepped up confidently and calmly after completing 90 steps.
A body that looked very similar to Wu Yi slowly appeared and stood in front of Wu Yi. In terms of aura, it was even stronger than Wu Yi.
When Wu Yi saw this body, his eyes gradually became serious. In the bamboo slips that Hua Jianling showed him before, it was also the figure who trapped Hua Jianling who looked very similar to himself.
