Six hours after Bai Ying raised the question, the first obsessive contestant appeared.
This man first paced irritably in the aperture, tearing his hair with both hands, then knelt down and cried bitterly, and then hammered the aperture in front of him, as if he wanted to escape from this place.
In the silent and dead square, even the people struggling in the circle of light looked particularly ferocious.
Bai Ying sat on the ground from beginning to end, not even looking in this direction until the man exploded and died, turning into a disgusting puddle of flesh and blood.
The road to immortality not only tests one's talent, but also tests one's determination and will!
People who are disturbed by someone's words and become obsessed easily are not worthy of embarking on this unnatural path!
Fortunately, among the contestants who persisted to this moment, only a few were weak-willed.
In the next few hours, except for a few people occasionally wandering on the edge of going crazy and being in constant danger, nothing else happened at the scene.
Most people are still in that stiff state, which seems to last forever, reduced to statues in the square.
At this moment of deathly silence, someone finally moved.
She picked up her pen and wrote the answer.
Bai Ying's attention was also attracted by her. His figure flickered and he immediately stepped into the circle of light where she was. After taking a look at her answer, his eyes seemed to be real and illusory, with a hint of appreciation and relief.
"You have extraordinary qualifications and understanding, very good, very good."
Bai Ying's tone was no longer calm, but with a hint of relief, he said: "Over the years, you are one of the most talented candidates I have ever seen. Are you willing to inherit my mantle?"
June was startled, and then she thought: "You mean, I want you to be my teacher?"
"certainly."
"Then can you take him in together?"
June points to a certain aperture.
Bai Ying was silent.
"That person is not very talented. Love entanglements will become a burden for your life. I still recommend that you break it off. Don't miss immortality because of him."
"Competing for the road to immortality requires ruthlessness..."
June shook her head and said: "I don't. He treats me very well, so I will treat him the same. Even if his talent is not good, I will take him forward together."
Bai Ying let out a long sigh: "Idiot!"
He said no more and turned back.
As he said, June has one of the best qualifications he has ever seen.
But over a long period of time, those with the best qualifications, without exception, had their own concerns and goals like June, and finally chose the "Tao" that was completely different from that of this ancient god.
It seems that my inheritance will continue to gather dust and wait.
Or has your persistence turned into stubbornness that has gone astray?
Bai Ying thought.
Like many contestants present, he also has lifelong questions.
My way, is it right?
If it is right, then why did I lose again that year?
This question that has been lingering in my mind for thousands of years now comes to my mind again. As in the past, Bai Ying still had no answer.
He neither wants to believe that he is on the wrong path, nor is he willing to give the inheritance to geniuses who do not accept this path.
The ascetic conference was held just to find a true successor, to continue his "Tao", and to prove the thing that he could not prove back then - my Tao is the right way!
After thinking for a long time, Bai Ying was relieved again and forced to suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart.
He still believed in his own way.
I don’t know how long I had been wandering in my mind just now, but when I came back to my senses, there was another contestant who gave the answer. Bai Ying glanced over there, and quickly looked back, showing no interest in the past.
There is no other reason, that person is Li Hentian.
The answers given by this optimist were relatively casual. It was impossible to tell that he had thought deeply about the questions given by Bai Ying, which made Bai Ying feel like he was playing the piano to a cow.
Since Lihentian, more contestants have taken action.
The third person to give the answer was Xiang Ao.
The "reborn person" Ling Xiao had reported was naturally asked questions related to the "second life". Bai Ying scanned Xiang Ao's answers with his consciousness with some interest, nodded slightly, but said nothing.
Next is the fourth, fifth...
Some of the answers given by the contestants were concise and comprehensive, while others were eloquent and full of insights. The questions were all kinds of strange, and the answers were also all kinds of strange, but more or less, they all revealed the sincerity and piety of their pursuit of immortality.
Before I knew it, more than thirty hours had passed.
There are still several contestants at the scene who have not yet given their answers, including Ling Xiao.
Another person put down his pen.
Bai Ying glanced at it, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "The incomplete Netherworld can also have this feeling, so you can forget it."
Under the rabbit mask, Liu Jun's eyes flashed with a trace of joy and pride. He hurriedly bowed to Bai Ying, then looked around and couldn't help but fall on Ling Xiao, without concealing the concern in his eyes.
Ling Xiao didn't notice any attention. He was immersed in his own thoughts.
For more than thirty hours, he thought from east to west, from south to north, thinking about the past, the present, and the future, but he still couldn't figure out the answer to the question Bai Ying asked.
There is no way, his understanding only stops here. And all the time, he had to rely on the collective efforts of a group of spiritual grasses to understand the techniques, which also indirectly affected his ability to think independently.
Now that there is no more reminder in his ears, Ling Xiao is like a blind man, completely lost in the maze of "mana, consciousness, and strength."
Later, his mind was filled with doubts about himself.
Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao, are you nothing without the vegetation?
Are you an independent personality, or are you a tool for simulating cultivation with the vegetation in the world?
In the past few decades, have you been reborn or just a dream?
A hot air slowly emerged from Ling Xiao's belly. The more he thought about this problem, the more irritable he felt in his mind. He couldn't help but feel angry and paced back and forth in the circle of light irritably.
This change naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding contestants. For a while, there were some who were ridiculing, some who were curious, and some who were excited. The contestants had different expressions and were all amused.
Those obsessed ones were all walking around like Ling Xiao.
After holding on for more than thirty hours, can this kid not be able to hold on anymore?
Hurry up and die, I told you to pick up girls!
Most people were gloating over the misfortune, except for June and Liu Junhuan, who couldn't help but get up, as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
In the circle of light next to Ling Xiao, Li Hentian waved the note in his hand, wishing he could dance to attract Ling Xiao's attention, but no matter how he jumped up and down, Ling Xiao seemed to turn a blind eye.
Ling Xiao was currently in the biggest crisis since his cultivation as an immortal, and he really couldn't care less.
He is like a person standing on the edge of a cliff. If he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss!
Just when Ling Xiao was at a loss between heaven and man in his heart, a stream of clear water suddenly emerged from his Dantian and rippled along the meridians throughout his body.
