Like a dream, Zi Yan entered a secret forbidden place of cultivation, which is called the "Place of Penance". This place is full of all kinds of dangers and inhuman torture. Only truly determined practitioners can achieve breakthroughs here.
Once it fails, the outcome will be death of body and soul, and death of fragrance and jade.
"I am your examiner, Yangqing Zhuoma. The first level is ice and snow."
The cold and emotionless female voice of the palace master resounded in his mind. No one was seen, and then, there was nothing more. There was not even a hint that this level was a test.
Zi Yan murmured a question, and the still peaceful silence was the answer.
What appeared in front of her was a dilapidated thatched house with only a simple wooden bed covered with bamboo mats and no heating quilts such as bedding.
The cold and biting snowy wind blew in through the broken window, making her shiver. She subconsciously looked outside the window and saw a white sheet of goose feather snow floating outside.
She originally wanted to get out the firewood and cotton-padded clothes from her storage bag, but she was shocked to find that her storage bag was unusable in this place and was imprisoned by a mysterious force.
Since she couldn't use external fire sources or other objects to keep warm, she sat on the bed and practiced cross-legged, intending to use her spiritual power to turn into heat energy to spread throughout her body, so she could meditate and retreat here.
The idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. She was shocked to find that her original cultivation level of the ninth level of the Dharma Realm was also imprisoned, and she could not use any spiritual power at all. She was completely no different from ordinary mortals.
"What a shabby place, without even a stove, how can I survive?"
Zi Yan cursed in her heart. She looked at her body and found that her previous cultivation of the ninth level of the Dharma Realm had completely disappeared and she was now an ordinary person.
"It's better to just die like this, so as not to suffer the consequences alive!"
Zi Yan couldn't help but wailed, holding her shivering body with both hands. However, at this moment, a strange voice sounded from her mind:
"Zi Yan, do you want to die?"
"I...just said casually, what exactly is the test of this level?"
"There is no test. As long as you give up your obsession, you will be free from this damn place and no longer suffer." This strange voice was neither male nor female, and his tone was filled with amusement.
"Who are you?" Zi Yan narrowed her eyebrows and asked, trying to persuade people to give up? Not with good intentions.
"..." The other party was silent and did not answer.
"you do not say?"
Zi Yan's forehead wrinkled slightly, what the hell is this person doing?
Could it be that he was deliberately entertaining her, seeing that she was a weak woman who was easy to bully?
Gulu gulu...
The unsatisfactory belly actually announced that it was hungry.
Zi Yan sighed helplessly and looked outside through the window. It turned out to be an endless plain. The snow on the ground was at least two feet thick. There were no plants at all, let alone any traces of animals. Where could she go to find it? food?
Zi Yan murmured again. Although this person knew what she was thinking, he deliberately did not answer. He was obviously deliberately entertaining her.
"..."
The other party remained silent and did not answer.
"It is definitely not a good thing to pretend to be a god or a ghost."
Zi Yan raised her voice slightly to embolden herself. In this unknown place, there might be some terror, so she had to be careful. Read the book
"Hey, are you going to tell me or not?"
Zi Yan asked reluctantly, "If you don't tell me, be careful with me..."
"What do you want?"
The mysterious sound resounded, and a strange strong wind came in through the broken door and window. Snowflakes hit her face like a mess, making her unable to open her eyes.
"Hahaha... As long as you have the slightest obsession to give up, you can leave this cold and hungry place. If you persist, you will only die of starvation and cold."
The weird and teasing voice echoed in my mind like a devil, the strong wind blew the doors and windows into more tatters, and heavy snow roared in.
In an instant, Zi Yan's whole body was covered with a layer of
White snowflakes.
Suddenly, she understood that the previous voice of the palace master told her that it was "ice and snow", which must have been a test of her perseverance to survive in the cold and hungry.
Zi Yan's originally messy heart suddenly calmed down and became silent at the same time.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and continued to sit cross-legged, no longer speaking, and no longer thinking about food and fire.
Although there was no fluctuation in the spiritual power in her body, she still meditated calmly, just like she usually practiced, summoning the spiritual power between heaven and earth to converge on herself.
The strong wind immediately became more violent, blowing off the roof of the thatched house. However, the strong wind suddenly stopped, but heavy snow fell from the sky.
For a few breaths, Zi Yan's body stood still like a sculpture, but she couldn't suppress the trembling all over. Her head, shoulders and knees were covered with a six centimeter layer of goose feather snow.
An hour later, her face was no longer visible. She was sitting cross-legged like a "snowman", her whole body covered by a thick layer of snow.
I thought that the test would be over in three or two days, but seven days passed in a blink of an eye. Zi Yan's body had turned into a small snow-capped mountain, ten meters high, with a triangular shape piled with pure white snow.
In the snow, Zi Yan's breathing had stopped, but her heart was still beating weakly, and her whole body was frozen like an ice sculpture.
Her spiritual power is imprisoned, and she is no different from a mortal. If she does not eat or drink for seven days, she will starve to death.
"Give up. If you continue, you will collapse and freeze to death."
That weird voice sounded in my mind again.
Zi Yan couldn't speak or even move her eyelids, but she was determined in her heart. Since she had chosen the challenge, she would persevere to the end. Even if she only had one breath left, she would never give up.
Because she knew that the immediate boss of the Xuanling Temple was the Xuanling Temple outside Jiuzhou, and Di belonged to an organization under Tiandao. The test here must have its reason;
If he could survive it, he would surely be able to break through the prohibitive formation rules of Kyushu like the master of the temple a thousand years ago, and thus reach the realm of cultivation;
Once you reach the Earth Realm, you will no longer be constrained by the Jiuzhou Emperor-level prohibition formation, and you will be able to ascend to the Heaven Realm or even a higher realm one day. On the contrary, you will be forever imprisoned in the current ninth stage of the Dharma Realm, and will live forever. lethal.
On the tenth day, Zi Yan felt that her vitality was gradually disappearing, her blood vessels had been blocked by ice, and her heart was beating violently. She understood that her end was approaching.
"Grandpa, my granddaughter is unfilial. She cannot accompany you to live your old age, nor can she care for you until the end of your life. Please forgive your granddaughter for her unfilial piety."
Zi Yan's figure echoed in her mind, and she sighed and choked secretly.
"Sister, silly girl, I regret that I can't chat with you for once. That Long Haotian is not a good person. A man who can accept a hundred people in the harem must have insufficient determination and will not be good to you in the future. Alas..."
He is even more worried about his sister Zi Yan. Hearing Baihua's heartfelt message, he heard that his sister Zi Yan seems to have fallen in love with his fiancé. How ironic and sad this is;
What worries her is that Zi Jianhua is already old, and her sister is innocent and naive, but she has no choice but to survive the test of hunger and cold, and is about to face death;
Since he came to the Xuanling Temple, he has been practicing day and night, thus forgetting his family ties. At this moment, he is helpless, and even the last words he wants to convey are probably a luxury.
"Snowflake, Snowflake, if you are really a living flower, please convey my thoughts and helplessness to my grandfather. Zi Yan loves him and asks him to take care of himself and forgive Yan'er's unfilial piety;
I also ask Xuehua to take away my thoughts about my sister Ziyi, tell her that my sister actually misses her, and tell her not to trust any man in the world, and that cultivation is the right way. "
Zi Yan used her last voice to call out to the snowflakes in the vast snow, because there were no other flowers blooming here, so her words could not be conveyed, and she had no choice but to do so.
Buzz~!
At this moment, there was a sudden buzz in the sky, and the clouds suddenly parted to reveal the sun. The golden sun shone down, and the snowflakes in the sky suddenly stopped.
At the same time, a holy diamond, the size of an egg, floated in front of Zi Yan. She was covered with ten-thick layers of diamonds.
Meters of snow melted quickly before the naked eye could see it.
"Congratulations Zi Yan, you passed the first test of filial piety and filial piety, and will be rewarded with a Xuejie Sacred Diamond."
The sweet voice of the sacred hall master echoed in the mind, and at the same time, a fairy-like woman slowly appeared in front of Zi Yan, with aura overflowing from her body, and a golden divine ring behind her, exuding an extremely tyrannical pressure that enveloped this place. A piece of sky.
She was wearing a holy blue dress, with ribbons fluttering even though there was no wind. She was holding a transparent and shining staff. She leaned slightly and said gently:
"Give me a twenty-level increase in spiritual power, and the alchemy pool will turn into a dantian."
As soon as the words fell, the suspended diamond rushed into Zi Yan's head. She suddenly felt a coolness but with a sense of gentleness traveling throughout her body. The blood vessels all over her body were activated, and the frozen blood suddenly awakened and thawed;
At the same time, he felt that the alchemy pool in his body was swelling and painful, but a moment later, he was shocked to find that his alchemy pool had been expanded into a dantian, and his cultivation instantly reached level 20 of the ninth level of the Dharma Realm.
Zi Yan was immediately excited and extremely happy.
"Why are filial piety and loyalty tested in the world of ice and snow?" She murmured in confusion.
"Yes, when people are most hungry and cold, they often fantasize about wealth and warmth, but what this test tests is people's filial piety at the end. What you just thought of is your grandfather, which belongs to filial piety, and Your sister, who is a sibling sympathizer, is Ti Dao, which means she just passes."
"You can train on the spot for a day, and tomorrow you will continue the second test."
After saying this, Yangqing Zhuoma's figure slowly disappeared.
Zi Yan originally wanted to ask a lot of questions, but she sighed silently. No matter how many questions she asked, Yangqing Zhuoma would not give any useful tips or clues. Since it was a test, the examiner would never reveal the test questions in advance.
At this moment, I found that my cultivation level had been released.
After recovering her cultivation, she no longer felt hungry, but she recalled the discomfort of being about to starve to death a few days ago.
She immediately took out some dry food and water to fill her stomach. She might be hungry again next time, so she had to eat as much as she wanted to prepare.
"Filial piety...?"
Zi Yan was eating dry food and mumbling incoherently to herself.
I have already surmised the content of the test in my mind;
Presumably, the Eight Virtues of "filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trust, etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame" will take turns over and over again. Only the truly perfect "Eight Virtues" occupy all of them can it become the inheritance of a holy saint.
However, she couldn't help but worry. Because of the different scenes, how could she think that the two words in the next six words would be tested in the future?
Half of her previous success was luck, which made her feel frightened but grateful.
Next, if you get it wrong, it will be a failure and the consequences will be disastrous.
