Chapter 480 Selfless
Lu Zhizi was content to watch the excitement on the side, and by the way, he recognized people's faces and remembered these Nascent Soul strongmen in the East China Sea.
More than 500 monks actually climbed onto the Ladder of Questioning Hearts.
Qingyangzi personally held the seal and cast the spell, and green lights flashed on the towering trees, and they all rushed to the ladder of questioning.
On the Asking Heart Staircase, the green leaves that were originally growing in the middle of the rough wooden ladder began to curl and stretch, and purple fruits soon appeared inside. There were many holes in these fruits. , the fruit rotted rapidly, and thick purple mist floated out of the hole, lingering around the feet of the cultivators.
In addition, Qingyangzi took out a mirror from his arms and slowly raised it.
This is a magical treasure cave mirror from Buddha Island, which was specially given by Master Buddha for this grand event.
This mirror floated in the air and kept getting bigger, and finally turned into a giant mirror with a radius of more than ten feet.
The mirror releases immeasurable light, which condenses into 360 light mirrors just a few feet in front of the mirror. These light mirrors form a complete large light spot in the air. Each light mirror has various viewing angles. You can observe the performance of various practices on the Ladder of Questioning the Heart.
Everyone in the venue only needs to browse with their eyes first, select the small light mirror from the angle they want to see, and then explore it with their spiritual consciousness, and then they can watch the changes on the ladder of inquiry from the angle of the light mirror.
If you want to change the perspective, you only need to use your spiritual consciousness to move it to other light mirrors.
Lu Ye put his spiritual consciousness to the test for a few times and was amazed in his heart.
The magic weapon in the world of immortality can still be used in this way.
He chose an angle from top to bottom, allowing him to see the full view of people climbing the stairs.
After the purple mist bloomed on the ladder of inquiry, the monks inhaled the purple mist, and their bodies began to sway, and they became a little hesitant when they landed, and they no longer rushed forward bravely.
On the Questioning Heart Staircase, the four people at the front, Hong, Long, Yin, and Shuai, had already entered about two hundred steps. Behind them, Jian Qiuyi, Nangong Xing, Jin Tianwang, Wan Caiyi and others were about fifty or sixty steps behind. Behind the stairs.
Following on, those monks who were above the Golden Elixir Great Perfection were more than thirty steps to fifty or sixty steps behind, and they distanced themselves from each other.
What is strange is that there are still dozens of monks hanging around within the fifty steps, walking tremblingly and looking quite difficult.
Lu Ye noticed that the overall strength of these more than 500 monks was almost very strong.
In the perspective of the fish and dragon diagram, roughly judge based on the light group.
There are about fifty Nascent Soul major cultivators inside, and there are more than a hundred Golden elixir Dzogchen cultivators, and most of the rest are middle and lower-level Golden elixir cultivators.
However, there are more than a dozen foundation-building monks inside, and there are even a few Qi-training monks.
Perhaps, these foundation-building qi-training monks think that the Heart-Questing Ladder only tests the mind and has little to do with cultivation. If they can persist for a long time, if they are chosen by Futu Island to recruit them as disciples, it will be a disaster. Great wealth.
They had no intention of passing the first level, they purely used this place as a stage to show themselves.
The monks sitting on the many leaves in the field were all staring at the monks on the ladder of inquiry and whispering to each other.
Like Lu Ye, who was born as a casual cultivator and didn't belong to any powerful group, his eyes were very busy, scanning from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.
Among the sect forces, if there are disciples who come out to challenge the ladder of inquiry, almost all of them focus on their own disciples.
If you see that you are at the top and outperform your colleagues, everyone will be excited and dancing, whispering to each other.
If you look at being pushed down and left behind, your face will be gloomy, as if it is going to rain, and lifeless. The leader of the team will stare straight into the eyes, wishing that he could replace that embarrassing thing with his own body. goods.
Master Wang stood beside Lu Ye, watching him watch carefully, and then explained to him in a low voice.
The Mind-Questing Ladder tests the mind. After the person who climbs the ladder steps on the ladder, the tree ladder will produce mind-numbing fruits and release purple mist.
The monks cannot fly or take off on the tree ladder, they can only walk. In addition, all defensive talismans, magic robes and spiritual soldiers are suppressed by the towering tree and become ineffective. They can only resist with physical body, magic power and spiritual consciousness, without any help. foreign objects.
After they inhale the purple mist, the weaknesses in their nature are aroused, and all the desires in their hearts will be subtly amplified.
People have many desires and shortcomings, such as pride or jealousy, anger or bloodlust, and the desire for food and sex, etc. Even injecting obsession with spiritual practice can become a weakness in the heart.
When these fires of desire are aroused, the examiner can only choose to solidify his consciousness and stick to his spiritual body. If he can persist on the ladder of inquiry for the longest time, it means that the more outstanding and firm his mind is, he can resist the desires in his heart. and weaknesses.
Lu Ye smiled and pointed ahead.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, it seems they are in trouble..."
On the ladder of inquiry, the four people walking at the front also encountered difficulties. They have now walked three steps. At the hundredth step, the speed has also slowed down. It is no longer as graceful as before, and the movements are slow. They all look like they are seventy or eighty years old, and they seem to have rusty joints and move slowly.
No wonder it takes a day to prepare for the first level of Buddha Island alone. Level 600 is not a task that can be completed quickly.
Several people seemed to be aroused by their desires.
Hong, Long, Yin, and Shuai were at the forefront, and their speed slowed down. Among them, Yin Yijia was a few steps further than the other three. Prince Long Bing was at the end, and Prince Hong and Shuai Bufan were almost neck and neck.
A light appeared above each of the four people.
Yin Yijia, who was walking in the front, had a purple light flashing above his head, and a Taoist king in broad robes loomed inside; there was a crimson blood mist above Prince Hong He's head, and a thousand-armed and thousand-legged monster loomed inside, with a body like the sea. The various parts of the various races put together are so weird that ordinary people would only feel palpitations at a glance.
Shuai Bufan manifested a large mountain on the top, covered with talismans and chains; finally, there was a five-clawed white dragon coiled around the head of Prince Long Bing, who was suddenly majestic.
However, the above manifestations are still very vague, which means that a few people are running the exercises and using them, but not much, and it is not yet time to go all out.
Master Wang shook his head beside Lu Ye and sighed.
“This is the calamity of asking the heart on the ladder of asking the mind.”
“When the calamity comes, the cultivators on the ladder can only use their magic and spiritual bodies to compete, and each uses their special skills.”
"Fellow Taoist, please see, the Purple Qi Donglai Daojun method used by Yin Yijia is worshiped by the founder of the Void Valley Kai Sect, and it is said that he can achieve Taoism and become an immortal."
"Prince Hong He's head What is manifested is the body of the evil god enshrined in the evil temple that fell into the spiritual spring. The method he practices is called the Way of All Saints to Become Immortals.”
"As for the extraordinary commander-in-chief of the Sea Eye Sect, it shows their sect's secret skill, the Sea-Suppressing Purgatory Technique."
"Prince Long Bing of the King's Snake Palace practiced the Way of the Blood-born Dragon, the Black Water King's Snake, and the Deep-Sea The resentment of the Wang Snake clan is what made Jackie Chan ascend."
Lu Ye listened with great interest.
He looked down the tree ladder again, and behind him, Chaoyang Sword Sect Jian Qiuyi, Nanliu Sect Nangongxing, Jinding Sect Jin Tianwang, Haishamen Wan Caiyi and others were gradually chasing after them.
The clouds and mist began to steam above the heads of the four people, but it had not yet shown any form.
Lu Zhiyi suddenly moved and looked at it from the perspective of the fish and dragon diagram.
I saw a vast expanse of river waves.
Hong and Prince's faces were ferocious, their eyes were excited, a pillar of red mist stood above their heads, and sounds of fighting and crying could be heard from inside.
This is a murderous and violent maniac, extremely mentally unstable, and probably a semi-madman. No wonder everyone said that the deep sea monsters in the Evil Temple were affected by the evil god's blood, and all of them were a little crazy.
Prince Long Bing's eyes were wandering, as if he was confused and lazy. There seemed to be flowers and plants on the jade crown, pavilions and pavilions, music was playing, and occasionally the figure of a handsome man in rich clothes flashed past.
Hiss...
Prince Long Bing likes men? And just want to enjoy it?
Looking at Jin Jia Yin Yijia again, his eyes seemed to be empty, and the purple air was rolling. The sound of a bronze bell rang, and the corner of the jade pavilion in the golden building loomed. At the first sight, this guy wanted to ascend to immortality and live happily. , the fairy world is so beautiful in his imagination.
Looking again at Shuai Bufan, whose eyes are blurry. On top of the gorgeous crown and hat, there is a white cloud, from which comes bursts of silk strings, and the ethereal singing voice of a woman. There is a sculpture of a goddess looming in it, but it cannot be seen clearly. Facial features.
Lu Ye pondered for a long time.
Well, this seems to be a guy who yearns for love, but he hasn't found the Taoist partner of his dreams yet.
However, a person who practices the Zhenhai Purgatory Art can actually have such pure love. It seems that the route is somewhat inconsistent.
Wait until he switches from the perspective of the fish and dragon diagram.
The four of them, Yin Hong, Shuai Long and others, walked forward more than ten steps.
The monks behind have also caught up.
The four people walking at the front were Jiannan Jinwan.
Chaoyang Sword Sect’s Sword Asking One revealed an eight-faced sword with glittering golden light; Nanliu Sect’s Nangong lineage had a jade seal floating three feet above its head; Jinding Sect’s King Jintian had a bronze tripod with four legs and four faces hanging on his head; Haishamen Clouds and mist surged around Wan Caiyi, and what appeared on top was a phantom beast with a strange appearance.
In addition, behind these four people, the cultivators are not strong enough and have already manifested their basic skills to resist the torture of the Questioning Heart Staircase.
Everyone practices various kinds of exercises, including those that resemble natural scenes of sky, clouds, and sea breeze, some that resemble swords, guns, swords, and halberds, spiritual weapons, whales, sharks, tigers, lions, and beasts, and some that entrust pens, furnaces, cauldrons, bells, and other artifacts Similarly, there are also those who worship the statues of Buddha and Patriarch in their hearts.
The cultivators in the field below were all eye-opening.
If not here, who could see so many manifestations of Taoism?
Lu Ye also watched with gusto.
He used the perspective of the fish and dragon chart to focus on a few people who showed obvious performance.
For example, if Jian Qiuyi has only the sword and nothing else in his heart, it would be more appropriate to call him Sword Only.
From the perspective of the Nangong Fish and Dragon Picture, Wan Xiu bows his head to pay homage. He is a fan of officialdom in the world of immortality. He does not seek to become an immortal, but only wants to be the most powerful person in the world of immortality.
The obsession of King Jin Tian is also interesting. His consciousness outlines a spear that smashes shields, and he is probably going to be the sharpest person in the world.
Wan Caiyi is very honest. If Shuai Bufan pursues a pair of people for the rest of his life, he only loves one. In Wan Caiyi's spiritual thoughts, there are so many beautiful women, hugging him from left to right, which means he has the meaning of seeing all the beauties in the world.
The remaining Zhuxiu Luye did not take a closer look. Anyway, today was enough time for him to take a look.
According to Lu Ye’s understanding.
As long as you walk up this ladder, you are equivalent to being targeted by the towering tree. The huge spiritual power of the towering tree is comparable to more than a dozen Nascent Soul Dzogchen monks. This place is within the scope of its tree array, which is quite Fighting in formation, there is an inexhaustible supply of spiritual veins under the tree. I'm afraid that if other top power leaders step in, they won't be able to please him.
Master Wang was nagging in his ear.
“Actually, if it were the disciples from the Pagoda Island sect, they would let the mist of mind stir up the tribulation in their hearts and treat it as a drill for overcoming the tribulation.”
“As long as they can escape from the mist, If it comes out, the spiritual consciousness will be of great benefit."
"But these monks come from various forces, so naturally they don't dare to be so generous."
"Hey, look, there are hundreds of monks behind who have completely let go of their minds. They are very brave and dare to take a gamble."
Lu Ye looked into the light mirror, and sure enough, Baishi was at the end of the Ladder of Questioning Hearts. The monk is slightly weaker and seems to have reached his limit before he has passed the 200th level.
Most of these monks are building foundations and practicing qi, and there are also some golden elixir monks.
They simply gave up on running their own skills and allowed the purple mist to completely surround themselves. With the purple mushroom-shaped mist on their heads, their eyes were as if they were dreaming within a dream, and they moved forward mechanically.
Lu Ye understood what Mrs. Wang meant.
These geniuses use all their skills to compete with the Ladder of Questioning Heart. It becomes a contest between personal power and the power of the towering tree. If the one with greater strength wins, they will not get the benefits of the towering tree to cleanse the soul.
The problem is that they don’t dare to let go of all the techniques to expose the spirit body’s mind. Who knows whether Futu Island will do something about it and plant any hints in their spirit body.
And the hundred or so monks behind the Questioning Heart Staircase knew that there was no hope of passing the first level. In addition, they were probably all casual cultivators and had little support from the sect.
They simply gave up their skills completely, opened their minds, and allowed the purple mist to enter their bodies. They went to this test on the ladder to refine their spiritual bodies and consciousness.
Baicao layman touched his nose and felt a little sour.
"These people are really smart."
"Open your heart on the Ladder of Questioning, and all past memories, including the spirit bodies in the sea of consciousness, are completely opened to the towering tree."
"After the assessment, these people said Maybe they will come to Futu Island to become their disciples.”
“They are not hostile to Futu Island, and they dare to accept the test of Towering Tree Wenxin Ladder. They are the best disciples of Futu Island.” Good calculation.”
Master Wang laughed.
"Fellow Taoist, you are fooled. This is an upright plan."
Lu Ye waved his hand.
"Everyone, let's wait and see."
At the time of speaking, Yin Hongshuailong and four others had already walked up more than 400 steps. At this moment, the operation of their own skills became more and more obvious above their heads. You can clearly see the outlines of Dao Lord, Evil God, Prison Mountain and White Dragon above your head.
Sweat was visible on the foreheads of the four of them.
Lu Zhizi muttered.
Be good.
If Mrs. Wang is right, then "big brother" Du Wanchu, who can cover the sky with one hand and become Yuanying, can reach more than 700 steps in one breath.
I wonder if these geniuses can reach or even surpass his record?
It seems difficult.
Fortunately, this person broke his arm, which destroyed the Taoist foundation and delayed his practice.
Is this guy so strong?
Should I reconsider the plan to deceive people?
On the leaves on the high platform.
Du Wan frowned and looked at the group of cultivators who were working hard in the ladder of asking the heart below. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the senior brother Qingyangzi next to him, and asked through the voice transmission with his spiritual consciousness.
"Senior Brother... the strength of this Questioning Heart Ladder seems to have changed."
"It seems to me that the strength has increased greatly compared to the time I tried to achieve Nascent Soul. 10%?”
Iron Swordsman and Chuanyunshou looked at Du Wan with strange eyes, but hesitated to speak.
Qingyangzi glanced at Du Wan with deep meaning.
"Junior brother, you must have remembered it wrong."
"Towering trees are naturally raised by the earth, and there will definitely be no problems with the ladder to ask the heart."
Du Wan looked at Qingyangzi as if he was worried With a deep look in his eyes, he suddenly became enlightened and understood everything.
Towering trees are selfless.
But Buddha Island is private.
Pagoda Island Nascent Soul Overhaul can also control towering trees.
Every cultivator in the audience should know that when he first became Nascent Soul, he achieved a solid record of reaching the 700th level alone.
What if today the geniuses of all the sects fail to achieve his results that day?
Doesn’t that prove that the talented young people are not as good as Buddha Island?
In full view, monks from all the forces in the East China Sea are here.
What would they think?
How many people dare to question the towering trees of Pagoda Island?
Even if there is confusion in the heart, who among the outer sect has ever climbed the Ladder of Questioning Hearts? There's no comparison at all.
Then an impression will be formed in everyone’s mind.
The Evil Temple, King Snake Palace, Sea Eye Sect and Void Valley are all inferior to Buddha Island.
If such a recognition is formed, the prestige of Pagoda Island will be even more prominent.
And who can plan all of this and change the intensity of the purple mist on the ladder to ask the heart, besides my own aloof, ruthless master, who else is there?
Du Wan raised his head and looked at the cave sheltered by the canopy of trees above his head.
Master...you are still so calculating!
This is bullying the other four heads for not being present in person. Is it really okay to slap them in the face like this?
On the ladder of inquiry.
As time passed, half a day passed quickly.
Only Yin Hong Shuailong and eight people from Jiannan Jin Wan are left after climbing the five hundred steps.
Under a dozen steps were more than twenty Nascent Soul powerhouses.
Because the person in front walks slower and slower, it is easier for the person behind to catch up. However, as the distance gets closer, the person chasing also feels stronger and stronger pressure and slows down.
Dozens of steps further down, there are the Nascent Soul masters and some Jindan realm monks left.
They gathered in a group, about two hundred of them.
Following another sixty or seventy steps, there is the group at the end of the crane, where there are the most people.
Master Wang explained beside Lu Ye’s ear.
“It’s great that these people can persist until now.”
"Look, there is actually a Nascent Soul cultivator here. Which family is he from?"
"Oh, look, the Taoist robe is from Tianqingdao."
"Tianqingdao counts too. Unfortunately, it turns out that the Yuanying senior brother was eaten by the two-winged snake."
"The Yuanying monk who came up now was not promoted in the right way. You can see the quality.”
“It’s not as strong as some Jindan monks. This is a shame.”
Off the field, dozens of monks from Tianqingdao occupied a leaf. Seeing their Nascent Soul making a fool of themselves, they all looked angry but could do nothing.
As the sun moves westward in the sky, it is soon past mid-afternoon.
On the Questioning Heart Ladder.
The eight people in front have already walked the 600 steps.
Everyone has clouds and mist hanging over his head, and all kinds of clear fundamental concepts and phenomena of various schools have been shown inside.
There are evil gods who piece together ugly and chaotic bodies with thousands of hands and feet, roaring up to the sky; there is a solemn Taoist king with purple energy flying down; there is a circling white dragon raising its head high, its scales are rubbing together, and it is filled with murderous intent; there are also iron chains on the prison mountain that are rattling and shaking, The mountains trembled as if they were trying to break free from the iron rope and fly into the sky.
In addition, the eight-faced sword made a sword sound; the jade seal showed the Heavenly Palace and the Immortal Palace; the four-legged four-faced beast's bronze cauldron beast's head opened wide; the most interesting thing is that the phantom beast's body changed into a tree shape, which is somewhat like a towering tree. Similar.
These eight geniuses are sweating all over their clothes. At this moment, they have almost fully activated their exercises, and every trace of their Zhenpai exercises can be clearly seen above their heads.
