Chapter 479: Asking the Heart Ladder
The pitiful hiss of the two-winged snake echoed in the field.
Because a thick branch came out of the mouth, the whining sound was unclear, making it difficult to hear what was being said, or it might just be a meaningless wail in extreme pain.
Zhu Xiu only saw the fuzzy mass of flesh and blood that kept making horrifying movements. Because of the pain, the limbs and body were twisted, and countless red blood vessels were twitching and bursting. Soon, the tree roots coiled under him were All stained red.
The roots of the towering tree are also emerald green, and are now soaked in the blood of the two-winged snake. The roots under it are dazzlingly red, and the red is strangely bright.
Everyone took a few glances and felt that a great Nascent Soul demon had been skinned and imprisoned on the spot, and by chance, Futu Island had used means to save his life, and turned into a mass of wailing flesh and blood, which was too shocking to the spiritual consciousness.
I don’t know how many foundation-building monks felt that their spiritual bodies were unstable and their whole bodies were cold, so they closed their eyes on the spot and used their magic power silently, fearing that their cultivation would be damaged; nearly half of the golden elixir monks only frowned and watched, forcing themselves to Resist physical discomfort.
There are also monks who are naturally very nervous and mentally tough, and they directly take out the photo stone to record the video.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime famous scene.
One of the famous thirty-six thieves in the East China Sea, and also a difficult person among the Nascent Souls, the Eleventh Tribulation Xiu Double-Winged Snake was skinned alive in front of their eyes!
All repairs are in progress.
Excitement and bloodthirsty expressions flashed across the eyes of Hong and Prince of the Evil God Palace. The more the two-winged snake screamed, the more excited he became; "Prince Long Bing" of the King Snake Palace frowned and lowered his head. Strictly speaking, the Black Water King Snake They are also relatives of the deep sea king snake.
Void Valley Yin Yijia had a naturally indifferent expression on his face. The two-winged snake felt so good eating so many monks, but now being skinned is just retribution.
Haiyan Zongshuai Bufan only glanced at it and twisted his neck. A look of disdain flashed in his eyes. If you die, you will die. Why torture people deliberately?
High on the leaves.
Qing Yangzi had a sneer on his face; Iron Swordsman and Cloud Chuan Shou looked calm; Cheng Bingyan only took one look and closed her eyes, her heart pounding.
Only Du Wan's mouth twitched, his face was gloomy, and his thoughts were changing.
This "second brother" was someone he worked hard to conquer and did a lot of dirty things for him.
He thought that he could not save the two-winged snake, but at least he could give him a happy death today. Unexpectedly, the master actually wanted the two-winged snake to wail for several days before dying.
Du Wan suddenly felt sad, but he quickly regained his hard-heartedness.
If he hadn't placed a restraint on the other party's sea of consciousness first, he wouldn't have been able to eat it and the two-winged snake would have surrendered himself long ago.
The Winged Snake acted recklessly, and he brought it all upon himself!
Du Wan calmed down and stared carefully at the complete scales supported by a few branches on top of the blurry and squirming mass of flesh and blood.
Fortunately... Ni Lin is still there!
He didn't notice that below the court, Lu Ye was watching his every move and followed Du Wan's gaze again.
Lu Ye finally determined that the opponent's target was the reverse scale on the double-winged snake scale skin, which was the third colorful dragon scale fragment.
This is difficult to handle.
The double-winged snake scale skin is hanging there. It can’t be snatched away in full view of everyone, right?
That is not much different from the difficulty of saving the two-winged snake.
He is still thinking.
Mrs. Wang next to her, who had just supported Futu Island, gasped, lowered her head and closed her eyes; Master Baicao shook his head and said nothing.
The two golden elixirs were also frightened.
Nascent Soul is the sky in their eyes. Now that it is skinned by the "heaven above the sky", it is as easy as slaughtering a chicken. How can the two of them not be afraid? There was even a faint feeling of sadness in my heart.
There was a lively and noisy atmosphere among the cultivators in the venue today.
Qingyangzi first skinned the two-winged snake and brought the boiling atmosphere to freezing point.
Seeing that the field was completely silent and the cultivators were horrified, he sighed in his heart - Master, is this the result you want?
Qingyangzi looks cold on the surface, but in his heart he does not agree with the way Master Futu handles things.
If you want to kill the double-winged snake, just chop off its head with a knife. Why do you need to use such a torture method?
But thinking that Master Futu’s spiritual consciousness was attached to the towering tree and might be staring at him, he trembled and spoke loudly.
“Everyone, this beast has been executed in public. Please comfort the souls of Jiugongdao and other fellow Taoists in heaven!”
"Presumably, all the Taoist friends who were killed can also rest in peace."
"The next step is the selection of Taoist companions that all Taoist friends are concerned about."
The spirits of all the cultivators in the field were shocked, The atmosphere that had been somewhat low before became high-spirited.
The drama is here again.
The East China Sea has not held such a grand meeting for many years. No matter what the name is, many forces came here this time just to see the fighting power of the younger generation of geniuses and to decide whether to embrace them in the future. Which thigh.
Qingyangzi coughed and said slowly.
“This grand event has been decided to be held on the island for three days.”
“The first Japanese language test is to assess the mental level of the participants. Those who are aspiring only need to pass the towering tree to ask the mind, and it can be broken. My heart is foggy, as long as I reach the 600th level or above, I will pass."
"On the second day of the martial arts competition, there are many extremely vicious people imprisoned in Baishu Cave on the island, including the thirty-six thieves who have been there for thousands of years. There are bloodthirsty alien species that came to the foreign land before, as well as sinners captured in the past hundred years, etc., ranging from Jindan Dzogchen to Nascent Soul and above."
"Over the years, this cave has been filled with bloodthirsty aliens. Too many villains were imprisoned.”
"The winner of the first level can enter the Baishu Cave. According to their cultivation level, they will automatically be matched with fellow practitioners as prisoners of the realm. As long as they are killed, they will be considered winners."
"If you lose, As long as you admit defeat, you will be teleported out of the cave by the magic circle. "
"On the third day, we will compete in an arena competition. Until the point is reached, you can see blood, but you can't die. The top ten masters will be competed in the end. Fairy Bingyan will choose the person she likes. "
"Of course, in addition to the lucky one, as long as they are in the top ten, the sect will also give out rewards, including Nascent Soul-level magic weapons, techniques, Materials, etc., and corresponding rewards will be distributed to other participants.”
“Everyone, if you want to become a Taoist companion of Miss Bingyan, you must pass three tests in sequence, and you will not wait for someone else. Reset the level.”
"Everyone, you can think about it carefully and make a decision already."
Qingyangzi finished a few words.
The monks all over the place immediately started talking in low voices.
That kind of leaf is full of people from the same sect, who can transmit sounds with spiritual consciousness, and there are many casual cultivators, so they whisper to each other and discuss carefully.
Master Wang saw that Lu Ye and Baicao were puzzled, so he explained to them.
This Towering Stairway to Asking the Heart of the Lost Tree was a hurdle used by Buddha Island to recruit disciples, and it was necessary to select those with outstanding and firm minds.
It is a tree ladder hanging down from the top of the tree crown. For prospective disciples, they can enter the door if they can walk sixty steps. The tree ladder can be connected to the clouds. It is said that the total length is 990 steps. Level nine.
After joining Pagoda Island, disciples can also use this ladder to hone their mental and spiritual bodies.
It is said that among the seven pagodas, Du Wan, who can cover the sky with one hand, once reached more than 700 steps in one breath when he first became the Nascent Soul, and was the best among his fellow practitioners.
This time it is set to pass level 600. I am afraid that only the strong ones of Nascent Soul and Golden Elixir Dzogchen can pass.
The same is true for the second level of Baishu Cave to eliminate demons. The weakest cultivation level in it is the Golden elixir Dzogchen cultivation level. The monks who are lower than this level are sent food when they go in.
On weekdays, it is a place where disciples on the island go in to fight and temper their flesh and blood. This time, it is also allowed to take an assessment.
Buddha Island also does not want casualties, and has also set a rule that admitting defeat can save lives.
The third level is to compete with each other and hit the mark. It also provides a stage for the geniuses to become famous, but they are not allowed to fight to the death, because they are afraid that they will not be able to explain themselves.
Anyway, when Fairy Cheng Bingyan chooses a Taoist companion, she does not necessarily choose the strongest one. It all depends on her eyesight - or in other words, it all depends on Master Futu's thoughts.
The top ten and the rest of the participants were given generous prizes, which were regarded as hush money for the other strong players who had nothing to gain.
In addition, in order to prevent people from taking advantage of the loopholes, the three levels must be passed one after another. Levels cannot be skipped, and levels will not be reset for someone.
Looking at the arrangement of Buddha Island, it is open and fair in front of the cultivators in the East China Sea, and it can also be seen that it does not want the participants to perish.
Lu Ye listened and thought about it.
The plan for Pagoda Island is ringing.
Wenbi looked at the strength of the next generation from other forces, and Wubi used his free labor to kill a group of villains imprisoned in his Baigu Cave, which also reduced the pressure on his own guards. In the end, the arena competition allowed the geniuses of all parties to become famous in public.
As for the rewards issued, it is nothing to Futu Island, which has a big business.
With this arrangement, three days are still tight.
Lu Ye is a little regretful, but it is a pity that there is no treasure appraisal meeting that he likes to see. However, when he thinks about Futu Island treating the two-winged snakes so harshly, if stolen goods appear at the treasure appraisal meeting, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face?
Just stop it and avoid trouble. The customs in the East China Sea are like this. Killing a two-winged snake will not change the custom of having piles of tribulation cultivators in the East China Sea.
Qingyangzi stood in the air and waited for the sounds below to gradually stop before coughing lightly.
"Everyone, now that you understand this arrangement."
"Without further delay, today's first step is to climb the ladder to ask questions. Those who are interested, please come forward..."
The iron swordsman behind him received Qingyangzi's affirmative look and immediately made a hand gesture to cast a spell.
The iron swordsman's body surged with mana, and one after another the seals in his hands were shot into the towering trees at his feet.
The big tree that sheltered the entire Pagoda Island buzzed and lit up.
Between the mottled and cracked tree trunks, a bright green light shines, moving upstream like flowing water.
On the huge and towering tree trunks, thousands of green streams of light were awakened and swam towards the canopy in the sky.
Just for an instant, the tree crown trembled and lit up.
The tree crowns were seen shaking apart. From the top, a dense branch as thick as a dragon slowly descended, and finally extended to the square.
In response to the spiritual consciousness of all cultivators in the field, from this moment on, the giant tree in front of them seemed to be "alive". It was as if there was an extremely powerful and thick "monk" appearing in front of everyone.
From the perspective of the Luye Fish and Dragon Picture.
The towering tree light group that had become the color of the background condensed, shrank, and finally gathered into a brilliant green light, as bright as the stars in the sky, which was simply beyond the power of an individual.
It is not fundamentally different from Yuanying in terms of quality, but it is a little different in terms of quantity.
Lu Ye was shocked - it is said that all things have animism. Legend has it that this tree took root and grew here tens of thousands of years ago in ancient times. After such a long time, it has been infiltrated by spiritual veins, and this is a demon clan that has developed spiritual wisdom!
It is just because of its large size that it absorbs too much spiritual energy from the world, which makes it more difficult to transform.
However, Nascent Soul on Buddha Island has obviously mastered the secret method of mobilizing this tree. With this tree, there are equivalent to more than a dozen Nascent Soul Dzogchen monks on Buddha Island, and it has been designated as the island’s defense formation. Legal hub.
I am afraid that even if the god-transforming monks come, they may not be able to break through this place.
Buddha Island is indeed one of the five major powers in the East China Sea, but if the other four can stand alongside it, they must have the same background to suppress it.
According to legend, all the five major forces had ancestors who transformed into gods. After those ancestors died, their spiritual weapons and soul-transforming treasures should have been left behind to suppress their own luck.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye's eyes flashed. No wonder such a behemoth can stir up the storm in the East China Sea. It's just that the head's beloved daughter selects a Taoist couple to work together to borrow double cultivation, and it can attract most of the forces in the East China Sea to invest. It's really unbelievable. So annoying.
At this moment, the thick branches in the canopy extending to the square are still squirming and changing. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they transform into rough steps, surrounded by branches and leaves.
The tree ladder goes up, and finally disappears into the towering canopy. There are only 999 tree steps at the bottom, and the rough branches are restored to their original appearance.
This is the Questioning Ladder of Buddha Island.
In this literary competition, those who need to climb the 600th level in one go will be qualified.
Because it is a test of the strong character and will, those with weak cultivation may not be unable to climb high, while those with strong cultivation may be brushed off midway.
Seeing that the towering tree had released the ladder to ask the heart, Qingyangzi waved his hand and said with a smile.
“Fellow Taoists and juniors, if you are confident that you can pass the first level, please step forward and give it a try.”
“The Ladder of Questioning Hearts is easy first and then difficult. After the disciples of Buddha Island complete one trip, It also takes a full day. ”
"I have a jade bell here. Within ten rings of the bell, monks who have requested to participate in the assessment can come forward and go directly to the ladder of inquiry. After ten rings, those fellow Taoists who have not yet come out can just remain spectators."
Qingyangzi raised his hand.
Chuanyun turned his hand aside, and there was a bell hammer in his hand. The branches next to him hung down, and the dense leaves parted, and a jade bell as tall as a person came out of it.
He did not hesitate and struck with a hammer.
Dong......
The majestic bells suddenly rang throughout the island.
The first bell rings.
After a few rays of light, they rushed directly to the Wenxin Staircase. They were Prince Hong He, Prince Long Bing, Yin Yijia and Shuai Bufan.
These four people are the faces of the younger generation of the other four major forces. Coming here this time to propose to marry Cheng Bingyan is a serious matter, and it is also important to make the sect famous.
Naturally, they did their part, and everyone showed a domineering aura.
Four people moved.
They flew to the bottom of the Questioning Staircase and stepped up the tree stair. The tree stair flashed with green light, and the four of them were shocked to realize that the stair had special effects such as forbidden air and forbidden escape, so they could only walk.
The four of them did not panic. They walked up and passed a dozen steps in the blink of an eye. They walked very easily.
The second bell rang
People from other sub-level power sects also used their escape light to move forward.
Master Wang's eyes were shining. He was old and his blood was weak, so he naturally did not wish to go to the three levels. He came today because he was addicted to seeing the heroes of the East China Sea.
How can you enjoy just watching and talking?
His spiritual consciousness introduced him to Lu Ye and Baicao layman.
Look, you two, there are only four people in this second group!
The one who rushed at the front was the sect leader of the Chaoyang Sword Sect. Sword Qiuyi, dressed in white as snow, walked with a sword. It was said that his swordsmanship was as good as that of Du Wan, who could cover the sky with one hand before his arm was broken.
Nangong Xing, the young leader of the Nanliu Sect, followed closely behind him. He was dressed in black and solemn, holding a scepter. He was able to convince a group of elders to take over the throne after his master went crazy and died. He should not be underestimated. He was definitely the number one figure.
The one with a face like gold paper at the back is Jin Tianwang, the senior brother of the Jinding sect. He is dressed in gold clothes and holds a small cauldron in his hand. His sect likes to attract disciples with golden spiritual roots, and the fighting is the most fierce.
Behind the three of them is Wan Caiyi, the young elder of Haishamen. He is wearing a pink Taoist robe with flowers. He is gentle, elegant, and holds a hole in his hands behind his back. His strength is unknown, but it is said that he was the one before this time. The most handsome man among all the forces.
Maybe you want to impress Cheng Bingyan with your beauty?
Lu Ye asked curiously.
Since these four factions are secondary forces in the East China Sea, how big is the gap between them and the five major factions?
Master Wang smiled and said, each of these four sects has more than seven or eight Nascent Soul monks.
Looking at the Yuanying level strength alone, it is actually not much worse than the five major forces. Futu Island is only one master, seven disciples and eight Yuanyings.
But there is a good ancestor on Pagoda Island!
The only difference between these four sects is that their ancestors have never had a God-Transforming True Monarch. In addition, the sect does not have a God-transforming divine object or a spiritual soldier to suppress the sect's luck.
In fact, there are thousands of disciples in each sect. Apart from the five major sects, they are also very popular in the East China Sea.
Baicao Jushi added from the side - even though these four people are from a slightly inferior sect, they are very powerful, and they might even be able to surpass the four people in front of them, Hong Long and Yin Shuai.
Chuanyun's hand rang the bell very slowly. It took a few people talking, but it only rang five times.
At this time.
There are already hundreds of people on the Wenxin Ladder.
The four people at the front, Shang Long and Yin Shuai, have reached almost a hundred steps, and they are considered the first team.
In the back, Jian Qiuyi, Nangong Xing, Jin Tianwang, and Wan Caiyi are the second team.
Following back, a dense crowd formed the third team, forming a huddle.
This towering Tree Asking the Heart Stairway is also mysterious. With so many people crowding up, even if dozens of people are walking side by side, the tree stair will naturally attract branches from both sides to form a complete step, and there will be no feeling of crowding.
The jade bell rings the sixth time.
Master Wang asked Baicao Jushi and Lu Ye - they are still young and don't want to give it a try?
Master Baicao shook his head hurriedly and said that he only liked herbs and was not good at fighting with his mind. It would be a shame to go up there.
Lu Ye followed suit, saying that he was good at refining weapons and that becoming a golden elixir was a fluke. Each of the three levels was more difficult than the last. He couldn't afford to offend the golden elixir Dzogchen demon in the second level, so he No more joining in the fun.
He was actually murmuring in his heart.
Not only does the towering tree have spiritual wisdom, it also has huge and terrifying spiritual power, which can be used by the Nascent Soul monks on Buddha Island.
I have a lot of secrets on my body, and I am wearing a vest. I don’t want anyone to spy on me and draw attention to me.
Nascent Soul Dzogchen may not be able to see through its own cover, but what if you add the spiritual power that the towering tree can mobilize?
If that doesn’t work, who knows how good the spirit-transforming weapons that the founder of Futu Island left for Master Futu are? What if it was a spiritual treasure that was good at spying?
So, this time he remained an honest spectator.
Lu Ye turned his eyes to Du Wanzhen, who had a gloomy face.
In the past three days, I have to find a way to kill this one-armed man, which is my business!
Dong-dong-dong.
The bells kept ringing.
During this period, there were occasional monks who gritted their teeth and rushed up the Stairway to Asking the Heart. Most of them were in the middle or lower stages of the Golden Elixir. They were not enough to achieve the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, so they found themselves struggling to reach the second level.
However, I have come here, and the opportunity is rare. I want to prove that my character is not weaker than others, so I insist on passing the first level without any hope of getting through the second level.
Mrs. Wang, Lu Ye, and Baicao Jushi stood still, eating melon and watching the show.
After ten bells.
There was also a monk who rushed towards the ladder of asking the heart, but was sent back by Qingyangzi with a wave of his robe sleeves.
“Fellow Taoist, you need to be more decisive next time.”
The monk blushed with shame and bowed his head and retreated.
Qingyangzi took another look at the cultivators on the ladder of inquiry, and his heart suddenly became bright, and he smiled.
"Okay, there are a total of 516 Taoist friends and juniors on the ladder of inquiry!"
"I'm looking forward to it, and I wish you all can pass the first level smoothly!"
Lu Ye added in his mind - that's weird.
If Level 600 is easy to pass, it will not be used as the assessment standard, and the assessment significance will be lost.
"Eat melon, eat melon..." Lu Ye was quite relaxed, "Let's watch the excitement first."
"When we see the excitement, we will find a way to kill the one-armed monster!"
