In Guo Zicong’s dream......
At this moment, Guo Zicong seemed to be in a bottomless abyss. The voices of disdain and doubt around him were like a steady stream of stormy waves, washing and oppressing him continuously. The fear and pain from the bottom of his heart tortured him. The whole person is like a speck of dust in the angry sea, small and powerless, as if he is sinking step by step towards the deep seabed. The deeper he goes, the clearer, louder and more complicated the sounds around him are, which brings him pain. It was even more painful, like digging out the heart and lungs, making Guo Zicong gradually out of breath and in pain.
"No, no no no, I'm not, I didn't, I..."
Just when Guo Zicong was on the verge of mental collapse, a sudden voice came into his ears, but the voice contained even more intense mockery and insults, "Huh, Guo Zicong, you are really a bastard." You trash who can't stand up to the wall, can't bear such a little torture? Do you doubt yourself with such a little doubt? Then you might as well just die here, and save yourself from being embarrassed when you go out, and others can influence you with just one or two words. , I can hurt you with just one look, and you still try to compete for the right to inherit? You think it’s ridiculous to say it, right?”
"I, I'm not, I..."
"What am I? It's all in vain that the Tiger Emperor cultivated and doted on you like that. You even took away the father's love from his two biological sons. In the end, you are nothing more than a trash that everyone dislikes. If the Tiger Emperor is still alive, I guess they all regret the way they cultivated you before, hahaha..."
"No! Shut up, I'm not!"
"Not yet? Look at what you look like now. Is there any part of it that isn't right? If you want to blame it, it's the old fool Tiger Emperor who left his talented son alone, but instead placed his hope on you. Such an incorrigible piece of rotten wood is caused by his own presbyopia, which makes him miss the mark and he cannot blame others."
"Shut up! You are not allowed to humiliate my father like this!"
"No? What can you do if it's not allowed?!" The voice became obviously more unscrupulous, "Look at what you are like now, is there anything worth making that old fool like the Tiger Emperor proud of? Then look around you. People, who is not laughing secretly at the Tiger Emperor's character and confusion, illegitimate son, huh, it is indeed very suitable for a waste like you, just because of a waste like you, the Tiger Emperor is afraid that after death, in the Nine Springs I can’t rest in peace now, hahaha..."
The words of the people around him suddenly changed, "Yes, these three highnesses are actually illegitimate children. Your Majesty is really confused."
"Oh, is your Majesty's behavior worthy of the Tiger Queen who has shared joys and sorrows with him for nearly a hundred years? You are really confused."
"Look at Guo Zicong, he is in such a mess now. His Majesty the Tiger Emperor was also blind back then, yet he cultivated him so vigorously. Sure enough, even a king like your Majesty will inevitably become dazzled by old age and become confused. Fan......"
Listening to the insults and ridicules surrounding the Tiger Emperor, Guo Zicong felt the anger in his heart, "No, I don't allow you to talk about my father like that! Shut up! Shut up!~!~~"
"Hmph, shut up? What ability do you have to make everyone shut up? Just because you are half dead and like a puddle of mud? You are a waste, so what qualifications do you have to stop others from saying that not only you are a waste, but also that tiger It seems to me that even the emperor is an out-and-out trash!"
"No!" Guo Zicong completely exploded, his whole body's spiritual power exploded, his eyes were extremely red, and he kept waving the cold sword in his hand towards the surrounding voices, "Shut up, if you dare to say anything bad about my father again, I, so I......."
"Oh? What can you do?"
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!!!"
"Kill them all? Just you? Can you do it, trash?"
Under the stimulation of words, Guo Zicong's eyes were completely covered with a blood-red film, and his pure spiritual power was gradually replaced by his own anger and murderous intent, like a ghost transforming, erupting, and viciously Staring at everything around him, as if he was going to destroy everything in the world at the next moment, "I'll kill you!~"
However, just when Guo Zicong was completely out of control, a vague figure gradually appeared in front of Guo Zicong. With a piece of green jade on Guo Zicong's body as the core, the figure quickly condensed into an illusory person with bright white light. , but the sound made by the figure made Guo Zicong, who was about to go berserk, stop completely in an instant, because the sound was none other than the person Guo Zicong had loved and admired the most since he was a child, his father, the Tiger Emperor Guo Xiao.
"Cong'er, calm down and don't let your anger and murderous intentions control you. You were not born to kill."
"Father, father?"
"Cong'er, do you still remember what your father said to you before? No matter how others evaluate you, talk about you, or misunderstand you, the person who knows you best is always yourself, and in the end, you can decide what kind of person you are. You are the only one who is born equal, but each has a different path. You just need to follow the path that you firmly believe in. You don't have to force yourself or regret yourself. You will always be your father's child."
When Guo Zicong heard this, the murderous intention and anger around him instantly dissipated. The pain and torture in his heart also disappeared at this moment. Under these words, it was like mud pouring into the sea, completely as clear as a mirror. The voices of abuse, doubt, ridicule and disgust around him also disappeared. They all disappeared one by one, nothing remained. What was left was just the peace and tranquility that Guo Zicong gradually missed. The tears he saw could not help but flow again, but Guo Zicong showed a relaxed smile, "Father, I understand... ...." Just when he tried to touch his father again, the figure in front of him also disappeared and disappeared.
The next second, Guo Zicong's closed eyes slowly opened, feeling the cold sweat and fatigue on his body at this moment. He couldn't help but look at the jade pendant that he had hung around his waist since he was a child, "Father...Thank you. You are useless, I didn’t expect that after your passing, I would still need to trouble you for guidance.”
Guo Yin and Bai Ling outside the cave looked at the scene in the crystal and smiled with satisfaction, "I didn't expect that the brat Guo Xiao really regarded Guo Zicong as his biological child, and even tried to separate him. The natal jade pendant condensed from the original source was given to him since he was a child, in order to wake up and guide Guo Zicong when he was confused, it is also caring enough."
"Hmph, let's just say that boy lived up to my instructions back then. However, this seems to be just a one-time thing. For such a one-time thing, he is willing to take the risk of eternal destruction. Should I say that he is stupid or just a fool who doesn't know how to change?

Pass. "
At the same time, when Guo Zicong woke up, Qi Linfeng beside him was sweating profusely and jumping up in surprise. After seeing the surroundings clearly, he gradually regained the panic and panic in his eyes. , "This is... what was that just now, a dream? An hallucination?"
"Brother Qi, are you okay?"
"I, I'm fine." Having said that, Qi Linfeng once again fell into deep thought and silence, "Who was that voice just now? The way he spoke seemed to make me feel familiar. , 'Guess?' Could this be the same voice that I heard in my dream when I was seriously injured by Bai Ling and dying? Could it be that what I saw before and after were not dreams and were all real? No, but why did he Calling himself a spiritual god? He also said that I am him and he is me. Am I not the reincarnation of a spiritual god? What the hell is this? It’s such a mess..."
But after Qi Linfeng pondered for a while, although he had more doubts in his heart, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously, "Brother Qi, why are you laughing? Are you really okay?"
"Hahaha, me? Well, I'm fine. I just remembered what a voice said just now. I really like that sentence. Only children make choices. I want them all... Hahaha, okay I want them all, although it’s a bit shameless, but it suits my taste, hahaha, I want them all..."
Even in this confused situation of Guo Zicong, the two of them were immediately taken out of the cave. Seeing Guo Yin's expression at this time, Guo Zicong and Qi Linfeng also understood immediately, "Ancestor, could it be that before? Are those the third level assessments?"
"Well, it's better to be aware of it later than not to know it at all. Come here too, both of you." Guo Liao and Guo Shengqi also walked out of the dense forest on the side. Guo Yin immediately explained, "Yes, last night's A night of deep sleep is the third test for the three of you, to slay the inner demons and remove the shackles."
"Heart-Slaying Demon?" Guo Liao couldn't help but look at the cave behind him, "Didn't it mean that the third level should be conducted in the Jingxin Temple at the top of Index Finger Peak? Why is it in such a simple cave? ..."
"Simple? Boy, be careful what you say." Then with a flick of Guo Yin's hand, the three characters Jingxin Temple appeared above the cave, "Who said this is not Jingxin Temple? Shouldn't it be a temple? Is it grandeur, burning incense and ancient scriptures?”
It turned out that they had been brought directly to the Jingxin Temple on the Index Finger Peak by Guo Yin at the Liewang Temple before. "This temple is named Jingxin because it enshrines the sacred objects that have been used since the prehistoric times." The ancestral artifact passed down, the Pure Heart Mirror, is the natural place where the Pure Heart Mirror has been placed for thousands of years. The Master of the Artifact Spirit in it is even less popular. For this reason, my ancestors of the Xuanhu royal family have designated this as One of the five holy temples.”
Qi Linfeng also nodded in confusion, "So that's it. The other voice that appeared in my dream and said I was arrogant was the so-called weapon spirit. Oh, you said I was arrogant and actually tried to control my heart. , who is arrogant?"
"It's not an attempt. The poster has already been swayed in his mind before, hee hee..."
"You have the nerve to say that this deceptive system of yours has always said it can resist mental attacks. How come there was no movement or warning at all before? You are passive and slow in your work!"
"Lord, this system has been wronged. This system thinks that it is just a pure mind mirror, and it is not some other spiritual weapon with super high attack power. Moreover, this is not the first time I have played it. It doesn't matter whether I am defensive or not. Besides, there are benefits to experiencing your own inner demons once."
Qi Linfeng had a speechless look on his face, "Tsk, I'll let you finish everything, you are a hindsight..."
Guo Yin immediately announced the results of the three of them, "In the third test, one of the three of you failed to kill his inner demon. As the successor to the position of Tiger Emperor, he will lead the entire Black Tiger Sect in the future. If the king of millions of people cannot even face the shackles in his own heart, how can he lead his people well without losing his true heart? Only by breaking away from his own inner demons and eliminating his own shackles can his heart be clear. As clear as a mirror as clear as frost, we always keep in mind our responsibilities and missions of protecting the people and the royal family, so those who fail will eventually miss the throne. Therefore, Guo Shengqi, you can leave."
"Second brother?!" Guo Zicong and others also looked surprised.
"Guo Shengqi, although you have a good will and a strong mind, to be honest, in terms of potential, you are the most suitable successor. However, it is precisely because you have killed too many people all the year round and have such a cold and murderous aura that you Unknowingly, it has affected your own heart and ideas, and left too many distracting thoughts in your heart. I have never seen a person with as many inner demons as you have. Your character is too deep, which may affect your judgment in the future. In short, you are not suitable to inherit the throne, so go back."
Guo Shengqi looked obviously unwilling, "What? Do you want me to send you out personally?"
"Ancestor, I am not willing to accept it."
Guo Yin shook his head, "Guo Shengqi, do you really care about the throne?" Guo Shengqi immediately became alert, "What do you mean, ancestors?"
"Don't you think you have the ability to hide it from me by doing such a small move under my nose?" Guo Yin looked at Guo Zicong, "Actually, your previous little move didn't have any bad intentions. On the contrary, you seem to have the intention to help. You have also appeared to be too honest in the previous tests. I have heard your father mention your temperament often. You are such a trouble-making character, but you can't hold your breath. The fuss, all this is enough to show that you have no intention of fighting for the throne, am I right?" Although Guo Shengqi did not answer, he remained silent.
Qi Linfeng on the side was a little surprised when he heard, "You have no intention of fighting for the throne? Then how many times has this guy tried to stop Guo Zicong before?"
"So the poster, didn't this system say it before, he has no malicious intentions at all..."
Guo Shengqi then sneered and gave a slight salute to Guo Yin, "Humph, our ancestors are worthy of being ancestors. Since we have failed, I will not bother our ancestors to see me off." Then he turned around, his robes fluttered, and he walked away gracefully in the wind. , looked so disdainful and arrogant, but when leaving the peak, he secretly looked back at Guo Zicong behind him.
Guo Yin couldn't help but smile, "This kid is quite arrogant. It seems that even the throne is not a big deal in his eyes. This kind of courage is indeed more kingly, but it's a pity... ..”
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The test then came to the final stage. Guo Yin looked at the remaining Guo Zicong and Guo Liao, "It's already dawn. You two should have had enough rest last night, so we won't waste time. Now, let’s go directly to the last level, Middle Finger Peak Tiger King Temple, choose the main level!”
With Guo Yin's wave of his hand, Guo Zicong and the others were once again brought upright to another place by a space, and that was the most central middle finger peak in the ancestral land of the Xuan Hu Xing Sect. When Guo Zicong and the others fixed their gazes, A Tiger King Temple like a miniature palace appeared in front of them. The majestic aura made Guo Zicong and others' eyes glow when they saw it. But what they didn't expect was that the space inside the Tiger King Temple was much larger than what they saw from the outside. It's dozens or even hundreds of times bigger. Although the surroundings don't have the splendor of the outside, the clouds and mists that permeate the air are a bit more fairy-like, and have the atmosphere of a paradise paradise. "Is this the Temple of the Tiger King?" It’s majestic on the outside, but it’s even more majestic and vast on the inside, full of fairy spirit.”
Qi Linfeng looked at the surrounding environment and asked secretly: "System, this should be a small independent space opened up, right?"
"I report to the poster that it is indeed an independent small space. The principle is the same as the small space under development in the spiritual realm at the moment. It is just that the spatial structure and basic computing power here are far inferior to those constructed by this system."
"In other words, this is the low-end version."
"The poster summed it up well."
Under the leadership of Guo Yin, several people immediately came to a high wall. As the fog around the high wall was dispersed by spiritual energy, what appeared in front of them was a tablet of the spiritual master with a black wood base and gold wire. Looking at the high wall, there are even hundreds of tablets. The mist floating below adds a sense of solemnity and majesty to the high wall full of tablets, as if the tablets in front of you are all. They turned into figures standing proudly in the void, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.
"Ancestor, this is..."
Guo Yin said in a deep voice: "Kneel down and kowtow." Although they were confused, Guo Zicong and Guo Liao were obedient to the situation in front of them. They knelt down and kowtowed. After three rings of kowtow and three pillars of incense to worship, Guo Yincai He solemnly explained to Guo and Liao, "This is the Tiger King Temple of our Xuanhu royal family, and it has also been our ancestral temple since ancient times. Yes, these are the ancestors in front of us. All of these ancestors were among the kings during their lifetimes." Your Majesty, when entering the Temple of the Tiger King, you must first worship your ancestors and worship the king. This is the ancestral rule."
When they heard that they were the spiritual tablets of their ancestors, and that they were all kings and sages, Guo Zicong and Guo Liao looked even more solemn, and knelt down in great solemnity. After worshiping the spiritual tablets, a few people walked around the high wall and finally arrived here. In the key area of the last level, the surroundings are vast and empty, and there is very little that can be seen under the clouds and mist. However, among the sounds of gurgling water and chirping insects and birds, you can feel the majesty of this place. Better than anywhere else.
After walking nearly a hundred meters, a small pool appeared in front of us, and in the pool was a small stone platform completely made of silver-white stones. There was a long sword inserted upside down. The long sword was silver-white, and the sword was filled with water. With the cold aura, the extremely pure spiritual power flows out from the inside out. Under the floating aura, it gradually condenses into small drops of water around the stone platform, and directly gathers on the stone platform. In the pool below, "There is such pure and deep spiritual power. Could it be that the water in this pool is condensed with the sword's spiritual power?" Guo Liao's eyes widened as he saw it.
Guo Yin stood in front of the pool, "This is your last level, the main level."
Guo Zicong looked at the long sword in front of him, but he felt familiar as if he had seen it somewhere before, and then asked: "Ancestor, I seem to have seen this sword before. Isn't this my father's sword?"
"Yes, this is your father's sword, but it is also the exclusive spiritual weapon of the Tiger Kings of the past generations. This sword is called 'Hu Ming', and it is a sacred weapon of kings controlled by the Tiger Kings of the past generations."
"Holy weapon!?"
"Yes, and the last hurdle for you two is to gain its approval. This sword was made by the first-generation Tiger King holding the meteorite iron from the sky, and was refined with the power and charm above the king. After thousands of years, everyone has The cultivation of the strength and aura of the Tiger King's ancestors gave birth to a unique king's weapon spirit. The sacred weapon has a spirit and will choose its master. The previous levels are also paving the way for this. If you two choose the master, you will fail. , then this test of succession to the throne also ends in failure, the throne will be temporarily vacant, and the order of the Tiger Queen will be respected until the new Tiger King appears."
Qi Linfeng was speechless at the side, "Damn, I've been doing this for a long time, and in the end, I made the decision based on whether a sword recognizes its owner. Isn't it a bit ridiculous..."
Guo Liao and Guo Zicong looked at the Tiger Sword in front of them with bright eyes, but the difference was that what Guo Zicong thought about at this time was that seeing this spiritual weapon was like seeing his father, with anticipation and sadness. He said, "Okay, the rules are still the same, the person with the highest level goes first, Guo Liao, you go forward first."
"yes."
Guo Liao then stepped forward and couldn't help but swallowed when he looked at the silver sword in front of him. Full of anticipation and joy, he stretched out his hand to pull it out. But to everyone's surprise, the sword unexpectedly The penis was pulled out directly. Looking at Guo Liao's surprised look, he didn't even use much strength. He couldn't help but cheer, "Wow! I, I pulled it out, I really pulled it out!"
Seeing Guo Liao's ecstatic look, Guo Zicong was also happy for it. Guo Yin frowned slightly, "Has the Tiger Crying Sword recognized its owner? Is it so simple?" Bai Ling on the side was also watching, as if there was something weird in it. , I saw the long sword's light flashing, and the sound of a tiger roaring from the body of the Tiger Sword. Guo Yin nodded slightly, "It seems that he really recognized his master. I didn't expect that the first one was successful. Guo Liao congratulations......."
Guo Zicong on the side also wanted to send congratulations, but in the next second, an unexpected scene happened that everyone saw. Guo Liao's hand was not yet warm, and the Tiger Sword exploded instantly. There was a harsh sound, and strong spiritual energy flashed directly on the hilt of the sword, which directly triggered bursts of thunder in the surrounding void. Guo Liao was completely shaken away, and the tiger's mouth in his hands was torn apart by the thunder. , blood flowed continuously, but at that moment, Qi Linfeng waited for an unexpected surprise.
"System, did I feel the faint aura on Guo Liao's body just now?"
"Reporting to the original poster, although it is only for a moment, it is indeed correct, and the target is certain."
While everyone inside and outside the ancestral land looked shocked, Qi Linfeng's face gradually darkened, and he looked at Guo Liao with murderous intent and cold eyes, "I have finally found your fox tail, cunning s things......."
