One island.
A 100-foot trial tower rises into the sky. The entire building covers an extremely large area and will occupy half of the entire island. It is very majestic and domineering.
After nearly two years, under the supervision of Mo Yunzhi, the trial tower was finally completed.
The tower is divided into nine floors. On each floor, there are many formations set up by Fu Feng's disciples. It is somewhat similar to the Five Elements Formation Pavilion in Wanyan Sect, but of course it is not as good as the Five Elements Formation on the whole. The pavilion.
But this alone is enough for the foundation-building monks in the inner sea to go about their daily adventures and trials.
Each floor in the trial tower has different levels of trial content and tests. The higher you go up, the more powerful and difficult it is.
From the first floor to the eighth floor, we have set up the Wood Trap Formation, the Water Trap Formation, the Earth Trap Formation, the Gold Sword Formation, the Fire Killing Formation, the Five Elements Ambush Formation, the Five Elements Inversion Formation, and the Ice and Snow Formation. .
And every time you pass a level, even if the trial is successful, you can reach a teleportation place. There is a stone table on which are placed the rewards after successfully passing the level, such as: spiritual herbs, spiritual beads, elixirs, swords, etc. Magical instruments, etc., are all rare items needed by the Inner Sea Foundation-Building monks.
At this time, Shi Yao was standing quietly on the ninth floor of the trial tower with her eyes closed.
Her whole body was filled with sword intent, and ice-blue sword blades buzzed out from her body and scattered around. The sword sounds were suspended in the air on the ninth floor.
Every sword blade here is an external manifestation of the sword intention in her body.
Therefore, on the ninth level, there is no formation, only sword intention, which is her sword intention.
However, there is only sword intention here, but it is not enough.
So, Shi Yao summoned Yuan Shi from his dantian, held it in his hand, and stared at it quietly.
Back then, she was forced to leave the sect as soon as she was building a foundation. She strayed into the Arctic ice field and was hunted by a pack of ice wolves. Her body was covered in blood and scarred.
She ran away to the snow-capped mountains desperately, but the group of wolf monsters hesitated for a while, then resolutely chased her and bit her.
The wolf chases her, she runs away, you bite me to stop her, she is in a state of utter embarrassment.
Then, an avalanche fell off the cliff, and a pack of wolves rushed towards her. At the moment of life and death, she touched a sword with one hand, a sword that could freeze her whole body in an instant, and a sword that even a group of wolf demons could avoid.
The blood in her palm sank into the hilt of the sword, and there was a buzzing sound inside the sword, causing the chill all over her body to immediately dissipate, and the killing power suddenly arose, making her an invincible kill.
From then on, the sword with its own frost became her sword.
The sword enters the deep abyss and waits for its time to ring.
Therefore, she named her sword Yuanshi...
At this moment, on the ninth floor of the trial tower.
Shi Yao swung his sword and slashed forward fiercely. A sharp sword mark flew out instantly and was deeply embedded in the stone wall of the ninth floor, buzzing in waves.
This sword is the first meaning of swordsmanship that she realized: if there is any obstacle in the way, I will kill you.
Anyone who misleads me can be killed.
Anyone who stands in my way will be killed.
Those who harm me will also be killed.
Anyone who kills me will be killed!
At that time, she led Yuan Shi all the way from the Arctic Icefield to the Duanhun Abyss in the West. Her body was often seriously injured, and her heart only wanted to kill, and she almost fell into madness.
The extreme killing allowed her to crush the roadblocks and allow her cultivation to rise rapidly, but because of this, she slowly lost her original intention, lost her direction, and could not find her Taoist heart and original intention of practice.
The moment of confusion caused her murderous intention to dissipate, her momentum slumped, and she was finally defeated by her opponent. She was seriously injured and fell off the cliff, falling into the mortal world.
At that time, she was floating on the river bank and was rescued by a mortal old woman. It was also the mortal old woman who awakened her from confusion and lost her Taoism with her words.
"You, why are you so stubborn, so stubborn, so persistent? Why do you insist on forcing yourself when you know you are injured and it is inconvenient to do it? I am an old guy who is half-stepped into the coffin. How can I harm you even though I have saved you? you……
Everything is in your heart and everything makes you afraid, so how can you let go and live your life without regrets? "
A word of concern gave her a wake-up call, as if she was waking up from a dream.
There are many things in the world that are abominable and abominable. If you kill them all with a sword, how can you kill them all?
Killing can certainly satisfy one's mind and eliminate obstacles, but it cannot always be in line with the moral principles of monks' practice.
Therefore, of course, those who should be killed and who can be killed must be killed, but they cannot all be killed in one go.
Otherwise, we will not be able to truly let go and have no regrets in our life.
Is it true that monks practice and gradually become stronger just to kill all the hateful people in the world? Is it all for the purpose of eradicating all injustices in the world?
From the moment she stepped into the Wanyan Sect and started her cultivation, what she longed for in her heart was just for the words in front of the Wanyan Sect: "The great path of immortality has no end."
——So, her pursuit from the beginning was that: eternal life, never ending.
But the dangers in the world pushed her step by step into the wrong path and into despair.
However, her initial intention to practice and her persistence were not the way to kill.
At that moment, she had an epiphany, like an initiation, which caused her injuries to heal quickly, her confusion to disappear, and her state of mind to suddenly break through.
After leaving the mortal world, she moved forward again, just to find the way.
After that, she wandered around aimlessly, until she returned to the sect, had another breakthrough in her Taoist heart, and successfully gave birth to a baby.
At that time, the illusion of inner demons made her quite annoyed. Unintentionally, when she looked at the ruthless path, she realized that she should practice the ruthless path from now on in this life - the ruthless path.
The ruthless way is originally ruthless and unintentional in the heart, but when it is exposed to the outside, it is sentimental and intentional.
——This is what she slowly realized after she first realized the path of ruthlessness, and after re-entering the sea of chaos and seeing and encountering every pile of things she encountered: ruthlessness but affection.
After returning to his thoughts, Shi Yao attached all the Taoist thoughts he had just comprehended to his sword, making all the coldness on Yuan Shi's sword go away.
Then, she turned her wrist, stepped back with one foot, followed with her right hand, then moved forward slowly, stabbing out with a single sword.
This sword made no sound and had no trace of its blade, but it shook the entire trial tower.
boom--
In an instant, another sword mark was added to the stone wall on the ninth floor. It was ordinary, but there was overwhelming power and Taoism hidden within it.
If you listen carefully, you can still feel the gentle sound of swords in it.
At this moment, all the emotions in Shi Yao's eyes have receded, and her heartless pupils are like endless abyss; the look on her face is also more indifferent and cold, as if nothing can enter her eyes or her heart.
At this time, although there was no pressure in her body, she was restrained and calm, but if people looked at her, they would feel that there was a panic-stricken pressure in her body, which made people's hearts palpitate.
Finally, Shi Yao walked out of the scope of the sword intention and left a message on the stone table aside: "Whoever understands the sword intention here can understand my Shi Yao's sword technique!"
