It turns out that all of this is real and all of this is an illusion.
Yang Ning thought as she stepped on the steps of the 49th floor.
It was unremarkable, like an ordinary step, with dark purple moss covering most of the bluestone floor.
Obviously, few people have set foot on this level of mind-refining path, and those who have set foot on it are undoubtedly not the most talented and beautiful people.
Jian Jue and his party have already left the square. In front of them is a winding road with large tracts of bamboo on both sides. Due to the autumn, the bamboo leaves rustled and fell, leaving only the bare bamboo poles with a trace of withered yellow. Color, the autumn wind rises slightly, flapping the fallen leaves, dancing with the chill.
"I didn't expect that this kid is indeed fast enough. He has already reached this point. If he continues like this, he might miss the good show."
As a strong man who has survived the five declines of heaven and earth and the eighth level of the Mountain Building Realm, Jian Jue has such a strong mind. He was a little surprised that Yang Ning reached the 49th level so quickly, because he was only faster than himself back then. .
When Jian Jue was at the peak of the Mountain Viewing Realm, he also went through the journey of spiritual training, but looking at Yang Ning standing there again, compared with himself at that time, he felt that this Yang Ning was so much beyond him.
"Let's walk faster." Jian Jue didn't look back, and the six of Jian Wuxiu followed Jian Jue respectfully, as if they had obeyed the imperial decree, and followed closely.
In the bamboo forests on both sides, the wind blew the bamboo poles, swaying this way and that, playing the desolate music of late autumn.
Yang Ning put one foot on the step of the 49th floor, and stepped hard towards the 49th floor with his back foot.
Suddenly, the scene in front of Yang Ning changed, like a dream.
A majestic mountain peak appeared, and the top of the mountain could not be seen, as if it was unattainable.
The mountain peaks stand like a sword thrust into the sky, and everything looks monotonous until the sky. A straight line leads straight to the top of the mountain.
Could it be that this last level is mountain climbing?
Yang Ning didn't know, but at this moment, he was standing at the foot of the mountain, right in the middle of Bai Lian, with no company but one person beside him. The mountain peaks are bare, without any background, just like a stone made of mountain peaks, or a sword made of stone, standing quietly and majestically, straddling the sky and the earth.
It seems that everything is so old and has a little vicissitudes of life.
“Let’s start climbing!”
Yang Ning smiled self-deprecatingly and looked at Bai Lian, because he found that there was nothing he could do except this way.
The mountain peaks are very high, unreachable and daunting.
But Yang Ning has no other way out. Only by climbing this mountain can he get out of this space.
Step by step, there is nothing superfluous, because Bai Lian is really long, so long that even Yang Ning, who has two lifetime memories, feels scared.
However, if he didn't climb up, he could only wait helplessly at the foot of the mountain.
Step by step, Yang Ning transformed into the most primitive Gandalf and began the quiet and boring road of mountain climbing.
…
"Tai Shang Elder, who is this person on the mountaineering journey?" Finally, one person couldn't help but ask.
This person's name is Jian Wubo, and he ranks second in the Sword Sect. He is the first person in charge of the criminal law of the Beixuan Sword Sect under Jian Wuxiu. He hates evil, but he has an unpleasant reputation, that is, he is super. Protecting the calf, whenever someone is bullied by someone from another house while sitting down, he will show his selfish side. Therefore, the disciples of Beixuan Sword Sect love and hate this, but there is more of an element of hate.
"Second Senior Brother, just take a closer look when you get there, why bother asking about this and that?"
As soon as Jian Wubo finished speaking, someone came up to him. This is the person in charge of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Beixuan Sword Sect. His name is Jian Wuhen. He usually likes to accept small favors from his disciples, so he is targeted by Jian Wubo everywhere. Naturally, there is no good mood between the two of them in the long run.
Seeing that Jian Jue was silent at this moment, Jian Wuhen immediately responded with a flattery, a habit he had developed over the years.
Jian Wubo turned around instantly with an angry look on his face, wanting to argue with Jian Wuhen, but the consideration of the man in front of him kept Jian Wubo from saying anything.
Among the six people, one of them lowered his head, as if everything had nothing to do with him, and listened to the argument between the two without paying any attention. This person is the financial manager of the Beixuan Sword Sect. He is known as the sword Pixiu that can only go in and out. His name is even more funny, he is called Jian Biyou. If you don't listen carefully, it's easier for people to sound like Jian Pixiu.
There was a man who looked cool and unrestrained, like an ancient well, holding a sword in his hand, his eyes never leaving the sword. He was the largest courtyard of Beixuan Sword Sect, the head of the War Institute.
The Zhanyuan only cultivates swords, is dedicated to swords, and is extremely passionate about swords. It is the largest main force of Beixuan Sword Sect, and it is also the mainstay of Beixuan Sword Sect that has become the most powerful force in Shuchuan.
Jian Bifu, the real second person of the Sword Sect, has a strength that is infinitely close to the realm of the five declines of heaven and man. With a sword, he has a great reputation in the Beixuan Sword Sect, not even inferior to Jian Wubo.
The last person was a short fat man, standing with five sturdy men, looking a little funny. He was the youngest junior among the six, and he was in charge of Beixuan Sword Sect's Spiritual Medicine Academy. Because he has been in charge of the elixir hospital for many years, this short fat man looks extremely energetic. A faint medicinal fragrance emanates from his body, giving people a feeling of infinite closeness.
But in terms of strength, he is the worst among the six, because this little junior brother doesn't like to practice, and only magical medicine can make this fat man excited.
The junior brother's name is Jian Biling, and this spirit is taken from the spirit of the elixir.
The swordsman seemed to turn a deaf ear to the intrigues of the six people behind him and didn't take it to heart at all, but in his heart he was already disappointed with several of the six people, because it was such a wind that would change the entire Beixuan Sword Sect. In such a situation, the names of the five major forces are about to be lost.
"Hey..." Jian Jue sighed in the air, stepped up his steps, and walked towards the outside of the bamboo forest. Through the gaps in the bamboo forest, he could vaguely see where the mountain gate was located.
Jian Jue was disappointed with the six brothers, so he invited Yang Ning to the mountain on the pretext of participating in the five-sect competition. The most fundamental purpose was to silence the Beixuan Sword Sect and restore the Beixuan Sword Sect. Lang Lang is upright.
When Yang Ning arrived, Jian Jue naturally wanted to greet him, but what Jian Jue didn't expect was that Yang Ning would step onto the mountain climbing route first.
In fact, Yang Ning also had a lot of helplessness. Because of the gecko poison in his heart, he could not use his spiritual power at will. Otherwise, Yang Ning would not be able to go hiking like this.
In her previous life, Yang Ning had heard about the mountaineering road, but this was the first time she had actually walked on it.
Refining one's heart in the world of mortals, going through many dangers, made Yang Ning grow up a lot, especially the feeling of getting closer and closer to life and death, and feeling on the edge of life and death, which made Yang Ning feel a lot.
The road of swordsman is getting farther and farther, and the heart of sword cultivation becomes more and more determined.
At this time, Yang Ning has reached a third of the mountain where he can see. There is no green background here, and there is no life. It is like a silent sword, lifeless.
Bai Lian went straight to the sky and couldn't see the top. Yang Ning took a short rest and hit the road again.
A quarter of an hour, an hour, two hours...
Yang Ning was endless, as if he was trapped in a cycle of ignorance. Bai Lian could never see the edge, and there was no trace on the top of the mountain. It seemed so ethereal that there was no trace to be found.
Yang Ning no longer knew how many mountain roads he had climbed. In short, after starting to climb, Yang Ning felt as if he was traveling endlessly.
Between heaven and earth, there is always the same color. It seems that there is no night and day here, only this color.
I have no distracting thoughts, neither arrogance nor impatience. Since I can’t see the end, I will find a way to the top.
Yang Ning's heart was very firm, without any wavering.
Bai Lian seems to extend infinitely, with no end in sight.
Yang Ning was already numb, because there was no scenery to speak of on both sides, only gray and black stones, which looked very smooth.
It seems that except for this mountain road that looks like a white practice, there is no way to reach the top of the mountain.
There are no shortcuts, only down to earth.
One step at a time, like a machine.
During the never-ending climb, the sword intent exuding from Yang Ning's body gradually became stronger. Although it was very slow, it was still proceeding subtly.
It's like practicing, it's boring and boring, you just have to persevere until the end. Persevere until you can no longer persevere, no, this does not mean that you cannot persevere, because as long as you choose the path of cultivation, as long as life has not stopped, you must practice endlessly. The road ahead may have an end, or it may have no end, just like in front of Yang Ning Just like this mountain, wherever Bai Lian practices, there are peaks.
Isn't this a perfect explanation for the journey of cultivation? Yang Ning felt much lighter and set off on the road again.
When your legs feel numb, take a short rest. Once you have rested, continue walking.
The stone peaks stand tall and towering, with nothing superfluous, as if they have been tempered thousands of times to be so smooth.
But at this time, Yang Ning no longer had any thoughts to care about this, because he didn't have much food to bring. Night meant that if he couldn't walk to the top of this mountain when the food was exhausted, his chance would be Starve to death here.
what to do?
…
After Yang Ning asked herself several times, she finally came to the conclusion that she could only walk and climb mountains.
When I first started practicing the sword-drawing technique, I could destroy tens of thousands of sword scabbards made of fine iron, let alone a risk-free mountain climbing activity.
Although Yang Ning's legs felt very sleepy, Yang Ning still persisted.
Finally, Yang Ning came above the clouds and mist, Bai Lian was still there, with no end in sight.
Is there really no end to it? Yang Ning doesn't know.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a roaring sound in the silent world.
what sound? Yang Ning turned around.
I saw that under my feet, the endless mountain road I had experienced collapsed...
how come? Yang Ning rubbed his eyes, why did they collapse? The mountain road built with fine stones completely collapsed as the mountain peak collapsed. Could this be the real test of this level?
Yang Ning had no time to think about it because the landslide had already reached his feet.
Hurry up the mountain.
There is only one way out.
Yang Ning tried her best and kept repeating a movement with her legs.
The landslide behind him was getting faster and faster, leaving no room for Yang Ning.
In the sky, the sound of landslides echoed.
Boom...boom...boom...
It's like a life-threatening song.
…
After traveling an unknown amount of mountain roads, Yang Ning was finally exhausted. The road ahead was still white with no end in sight.
Even if it means climbing, I will climb up.
Yang Ning became more and more determined. Because there is no mountain that cannot be conquered, only the heart that cannot be conquered.
Yang Ning began to use his hands and feet together, and his limbs began to cross on the mountain road.
The collapse behind him did not change due to Yang Ning's deceleration. It still collapsed, and the endless abyss was about to catch up with Yang Ning.
Yang Ning started running on his hands and feet, like the most primitive beast.
…
The mountain road was rugged, with many bumps and bumps, and Yang Ning's hands were soon bruised to pieces, but Yang Ning didn't care, because compared with life, nothing was worth mentioning.
Only crawling, endless crawling...
…
At this time, Jian Jue and the six people were standing at the mountain gate, and at the first step below the mountain gate, Yang Ning stood quietly, with a calm expression on his face. No changes could be seen, but the aura around him was still there. , is gradually changing and becoming stronger and stronger.
"Is this condensing the foundation?" Jian Bifu said in surprise.
A person's foundation has already reached a certain scale when he first enters the Mountain Viewing Realm. It will be even more difficult to strengthen it again in the future, so Jian Bifu was surprised at this time.
Jian Jue didn't speak, just watched quietly.
"Tai Shang Elder, who is this person?" Jian Wuxiu finally couldn't help but asked again.
Because he discovered that Yang Ning actually had the potential to make a breakthrough on the road of refining his heart in this world of mortals.
This was simply not possible before.
The path of refining the mind is only about refining the mind and cannot improve your cultivation. But how can you explain everything you see before your eyes?
"A person who saved the Beixuan Sword Sect in times of crisis..." When Jian Jue said this, his tone was filled with warmth and anger.
One sentence, but it made Jian Wuxiu speechless.
With the Supreme Elder sitting in charge, there is still someone in Liuyun Kingdom who is ignorant and dares to embarrass the Beixuan Sword Sect? Jian Wuxiu couldn't help but murmur and complain in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it with his mouth.
"Just watch quietly." Jian Jue seemed to be tired of explaining, and couldn't help but say something in a lecturing tone, and silence fell from then on.
At this time, Yang Ning was standing on the steps, thinking that he was infinitely close to the peak of the Mountain Viewing Realm, but his aura was still getting stronger and stronger, and there was no breakthrough yet.
