"Shut up! Stop playing tricks!" Shi Chishang rolled his eyes at him angrily and said solemnly, "So what are your next thoughts?"
"Continue to pass the level!" Kong Qixin said with a smile, "Soul Yan, didn't you say that only one of those high-level officials, Solir Xie, is still there? The others are all dead, so no matter how high our score is, we won't encounter any problems. Seize the body, so what are you afraid of, just keep moving forward!"
"That's what I said," Hu Zhebin said in a cautious tone, "Soul Flame just said that the next levels are specially designed to shake and split our souls and bodies. If we are attacked here, If the damage is severe, subsequent exploration of the Divine Blood City will most likely become a burden..."
Seeing that several people were having difficulty reaching an agreement, Shi Chishang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That's it! I have an idea..."
"In the past, if you could pass the five-level assessment, you could receive a summons from the emperor of the empire. Of course, there is no emperor now, but the restrictions are still there. You can choose a training room to practice after passing the level. In fact, those high-level officials wanted to consolidate their The effect of seizing the body is to avoid going out directly and being discovered by others..."
"I understand!" Zhu Chaoqun suddenly realized, "What you mean is that after we pass the customs, if we choose the training room, we will actually take the opportunity to hide here and wait until the higher-ups of the sect enter later, and then go out to meet them."
"Yeah, almost." Shi Chishang nodded.
"Aren't you still looking for ghosts?" Cheng Baihe suddenly asked.
Shi Chishang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, so I will leave alone to find the ghost."
"So you think we are burdensome?" Qian Yixiao said suddenly.
Seeing Shi Chi Shang stunned, Cheng Baihe, who had already noticed the clues, had a cold face and said coldly: "What do you mean? Do you look down on us?"
Hu Zhebin was also unhappy and said: "Yes, Hunyan, we are from the same sect and have always had a good relationship. Now that the ghost is missing, how can we stay here with peace of mind?"
Seeing that several people were insisting, Shi Chishang was silent for a moment and stopped talking about anything. He cupped his hands and told all the information about the next few levels in Solier's memory, and then took the lead in pushing open the bloody copper door and stepping in. The third level.
The third level is called the Singing Corridor. The entire corridor is filled with dense and strange singing sounds at all times. These songs contain extremely terrifying magic power and can disturb the examiner's sanity. Even after listening for a long time, the examiner's The soul may be forcibly torn from the body by the singing.
As soon as he stepped into the corridor, Shi Chishang didn't take more than two steps when the bloody copper door behind him was slammed shut, and then endless chanting sounds boomed from the darkness in all directions.
In the darkness, some voices are enchanting and charming, wispy and seductive, some voices are loud and violent, shaking people's hearts to panic, and there are also all kinds of strange, unpleasant, and penetrating chanting voices, even if it is too late. Shang was on guard, but his head shook and he almost fainted.
Bang! Bright and holy flames came out of his body, forcibly supporting a ray of light in the darkness. Shichi Shang stood there, the mighty soul light wrapped in thirteen magical power marks, covering the only avenue a few inches around him, just in time. Withstood the intrusion of the dense singing.
Perhaps sensing Shi Chishang's resistance, the singing around him suddenly intensified. Not only did the singing become more intensive, but the tone of voice was also extremely distorted and strange. There was also boundless malice spreading like tentacles from the darkness, constantly clinging to his body. The most ferocious evil aura was revealed in the soul light.
law!
Taking a deep breath, Shichishang circulated the lawful Dao to calm the restlessness in his heart and soul. He then raised his hand to offer sacrifices to the broken mirror, imagining the mysterious charm of the Dao in his mind. In an instant, the three-in-one of Burning, Eternal Day, and Xumi was vast. The boundless flames of light suddenly rolled up, as vast as Sumeru, as clean as holy light, and as fierce as the sun's flames, purifying and burning out all the malicious tentacles spreading around.
liberation!
Shi Chishang advanced slowly, but it was as if the long-standing shackles had been released in his heart, and the violent thoughts that had been absorbed and accumulated for countless years broke through the gate like the hottest flames and burst out of his body. They were both negative and evil, but more inclined towards evil and filth. The evil thoughts rushed together like crazy.
false!
reality!
Shi Chi Shang's Qi machine changed again, two completely different laws and rhythms enveloped the surroundings, his own violent thoughts became more solid and powerful, the evil thoughts and songs in the darkness gradually became illusory, and the balance of the confrontation between the two parties also slowed down under his intervention. Slowly slope.
Just running the four avenues at the same time, even though Shi Chishang's soul power was more than ten times that of a strong man of the same level, it still burned crazily at an alarming speed. However, after walking dozens of steps, his soul power had already burned for nearly two seconds. become.
Oh! As Shi Chishang's resistance intensified, the dense and strange chanting sounds unexpectedly rose again. The tilt that Shi Chishang had finally interfered with after all his efforts also returned to balance in this rise.
Forced by helplessness, Shi Chishang could only continue to burn his soul power to maintain the operation of the four avenues.
In the vast darkness, a ray of light is like a lamp under the eternal night. The light is not brilliant and bright, but it is constant and long-lasting, fighting against the endless evil thoughts and chants around it.
Suddenly, Shi Chi Shang's soul consciousness captured a wonderful Taoist charm. Although it was fleeting, he still keenly understood it in his heart.
"balance?"
After clearly realizing the foundation of the Dao Yun, Shi Chi Shang suddenly realized that this level was essentially to weaken the examiner and reduce the difficulty of the high-level people to seize the body, so it was integrated into the Dao of Balance that he had just perceived, resulting in every As he increases his resistance, the evil thoughts and chants spreading in the darkness of the corridor will increase simultaneously.
Therefore, to get through this level, it does not mean that you have to increase the strength of your resistance, but that you must always maintain a stable state of mind in the face of constant attacks like a tide.
Thinking of this, Shi Chishang understood in his heart that the soul light that had been rising and expanding was quietly closing in at this moment, allowing the boundless evil thoughts and chants to rush over and completely submerge him.
Being in the turbulent and crazy darkness, Shi Chishang felt an inexplicable feeling of weightlessness. His whole body seemed to be floating in mid-air, sometimes upside down, sometimes rotating.
However, no matter how he himself changes in perception, his mind is always condensed and runs the lawful road with all his strength to maintain the peace of mind and the connection between the true soul and the soul body.
I don't know how long I have been sinking like this, until the evil thoughts in my perception slowly dissipated and the chanting gradually subsided, Shi Chi Shang finally let go of my perception again.
At this time, he was standing in front of a vast bloody lake.
The whole lake is vast and has no boundaries. It is said to be a lake, but in fact it is like a vast ocean. The willows on the shore are dense and tall, and the dense willow branches hanging down are swaying in the wind. However, if you look carefully, you can see the willow branches. I saw pieces of broken flesh and blood.
Meatloaf! A kind of shade tree that the top leaders of the Blood Red Empire like to plant very much. It needs to be fed with flesh and blood. Only the higher the quality and quantity of flesh and blood provided, the better the quality of the meat will be. Therefore, in ancient times, every top family would Plant a large number of excellent-quality meat willows to show your identity and status.
Shi Chishang knew those meat willows through Solir's memory, so naturally he wouldn't get close to them. He just glanced around a few times, but found that he didn't see the exit of the corridor at all, as if he had been moved here out of thin air. .
"So you only need to survive a certain period of time before you will be teleported?"
Shi Chishang frowned and released his soul consciousness to explore the surroundings, but was still unable to capture the slightest trace of spatial fluctuations. This made Shi Chishang secretly worried, because in this way, he would not be able to return to the corridor at all, and it would be even more difficult for him to return to the corridor. Unable to get the message to them.
Shi Chishang himself relied on his insight into the Tao and captured the charm of the Tao of Balance to deduce the true method of the cloister assessment.
Zhu Chaoqun, Cheng Baihe and others do not have their own methods, and currently they can only hope that they can discover the clues on their own.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Chishang tried to calm down, and then walked slowly to the bloody lake.
This lake is called Blood Coral Lake. There are countless blood corals growing on the bottom of the lake. This is a common plant in the Blood Red Empire. It has no special effects, but it is the food that the magic bugs particularly like, so it is generally raised with the magic bugs. Forces will plant a large number of blood corals.
The Blood Red Empire has three major sacred beasts that govern the country. One of them is the Charming King Insect, which is the prototype of the statues with human faces and insect bodies at the entrance of Qiuxian Mansion.
Even though the name contains the word "worm", this ferocious beast is extremely powerful and has many bloodline magical powers such as illusion, charm, seizure, and shock.
In history, the most powerful magical insect has even reached the level of the Underworld Emperor. Its bite is enough to swallow half of the continent. Everything in its path will die, and its soul will be eaten by it, which is extremely cruel.
The lake in front of Shi Chishang at this time was one of the bases for cultivating divine larvae. The blood coral planted at the bottom of the lake was the food of these larvae.
If you want to pass this test, you must successfully cross the blood lake amidst the offensive of the lake full of magical larvae. Once you fail this level, you will inevitably be dragged to the bottom of the lake by many magical larvae and be eaten by them.
After all, these magical insects are still in their infancy and are not very strong. Most of them are below the underworld level. Only some of them have reached the underworld level, which is at most the underworld level.
However, this blood lake is vast, and the number of magical larvae it raises is too large. Once the densely packed magical larvae gather, the weak spiritual power merges together, and the power produced can be called terrifying.
The cultivators who can pass the first three levels are basically all extremely qualified and powerful. However, when facing the fourth level, only 30% can pass it. The rest, except those who give up voluntarily, will basically die here.
Of course, that was back then.
Stepping on the shore of the lake, Shi Chi's soul consciousness quietly sank into the blood lake, reflecting all the scenes at the bottom of the lake in his heart. After confirming that the memory content of Suo Li'er was correct, he couldn't help but smile, took out a jade slip and recorded some information. Then he placed it on the ground next to him, and then with a strong kick, he flew up and flew straight to the island in the middle of the lake.
