The so-called slackness of will means giving up faith and losing one's Taoism in the face of endless setbacks and failures.
Once a person has a goal, he should pursue it, persevere, and have indomitable resilience. No matter how many setbacks, blows, and failures he encounters, he should remain unwavering and unflinching. He should have unwavering faith and strive to conquer the world.
This laziness of will is the eighth difficulty among the nine difficulties. It seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult.
The nine disasters are the same as the three disasters. The later the disaster is, the more dangerous it is.
The wasted years of the Ninth Difficulty even pull the soul of the practitioner into an illusory time without a time mark, causing it to suffer the ravages of time and make the mirror covered with dust, thereby losing itself in the vast river of time and sinking forever.
Only monks who successfully survive three disasters and nine disasters can be favored by the great road of heaven and earth, live as long as heaven and earth, and live as long as the sun and moon.
Min Fa is very strong, both in terms of potential and cultivation aptitude, he is far superior to the great elder of Zhenxian Academy.
It's a pity that his Taoist heart is not firm enough, and he is defeated by the slackness of will in the eighth difficulty. This saves Chen Changan from doing it himself.
The three disasters and the nine disasters are the life and death tribulations for all practitioners. The only way to overcome the tribulations is by oneself. If others forcefully intervene, it will anger the law of heaven, and the disaster will be even more terrifying. Even the onlookers will be affected. As a result, three disasters and nine disasters of their own broke out in advance.
"What a pity! What a pity!"
After the great elder jumped onto the ring, he scanned the entire ring over and over again with his spiritual consciousness, but he still could not find Min Fa's aura. Even a trace of the remaining soul fragment was nowhere to be found.
"This has reached the eighth difficulty, but we still failed!"
"The True Immortal Academy is missing its second best student, and the Taishang Jiutian Palace is missing its core disciple. How sad! How sad!"
The second elder also had a solemn look on his face. He felt a little lucky to have witnessed with his own eyes that Min Fa, who was more powerful than himself, was reduced to ashes in the midst of three disasters and nine disasters.
Fortunately, I am not talented enough and have mediocre qualifications. I can only break through to the eighth level of the spiritual realm in my entire life. Now that my life is approaching, my body's energy and blood have collapsed. There is no possibility of breakthrough in this life, and naturally there is no chance of overcoming the tribulation.
It seemed like he took a step back, but actually he saved his life.
It’s just that cultivation is to go against heaven, like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat.
Without the possibility of going any further, I have been retreating for the rest of my life.
"Senior Brother Minfa actually failed to overcome the disaster. These three disasters and nine disasters are too terrible!"
"Even talented people like Senior Brother Min Fa have been turned into ashes by three disasters and nine disasters. Isn't it even more hopeless for us?"
"Practice, practice, practice, what exactly is this practice?"
"I have broken through to the seventh level of the spiritual realm and am not far from the eighth level of the spiritual realm. But if I go one step further, wouldn't I follow in the footsteps of senior brother Min Fa?"
"Oh my god, I don't want to die yet! I don't want to survive these three disasters!"
...
Min Fa turned into ashes in front of everyone. He undoubtedly used his own life to perform a tragic death scene for tens of thousands of disciples in the audience.
All kinds of sighs, sighs, and sighs came one after another. Some people who were not strong in Taoism saw Min Fa turned into ashes in the three disasters and nine disasters, and even fell into self-doubt. What's worse, they actually gave birth to inner demons. ...
"quiet!"
"quiet!!"
Seeing that the scene was getting more and more intense, the great elder concentrated his mind, used the power of space, and shouted loudly:
"We monks are going against the will of heaven. The so-called three disasters and nine disasters are both disasters and opportunities!"
"Once you successfully overcome the tribulation, the nature of your life will change. If you take a step further, you will have a life span of ten thousand years, and you will be able to hit the legendary Tao realm and become a true practitioner."
"Although Min Fa failed to overcome the tribulation, don't be discouraged. In your future practice, in addition to pursuing the growth of strength, you must not let go of tempering your Taoist heart."
The second elder also nodded and echoed:
"Don't launch three disasters or nine disasters easily without absolute certainty and belief in victory."
"A truly strong man is never afraid of disaster."
The second elder said it very cryptically, but the underlying meaning was also obvious.
That is to warn the tens of thousands of disciples in the audience not to overcome the three disasters and nine disasters if they are not 100% sure.
Just like Min Fa, although the 70% winning rate is high, there is still a 30% risk of falling. If you are not a real strong player, you should not take the risk.
Like him, it is better to die than to live.
"..."
The First Elder glanced at the old turtle, the Second Elder, and shook his head. Then he looked at Chen Changan in the corner of the ring, cleared his throat, and began to announce:
"Min Fa was turned into ashes in the heavenly catastrophe, and his body and soul disappeared. This elder announced that he is the top of this year's magical power list and the new number one scholar..."
"Chen Changan!!"
Dangdangdang~
As soon as the great elder finished speaking, the morning and evening bells of heaven and earth were rung again.
The melodious, deep, and heavy bells swept through the entire Taoist Palace of Zhenxianyuan. The terrifying sound waves were pervasive and directly resounded through the sea of consciousness of tens of thousands of disciples, refreshing their spirits and forcing them to wake up from Min Fa's death and pay attention. The power is highly concentrated on Chen Changan, the champion.
"In addition, Min Fa, who ranked second, is dead, so except for him, Chen Changan, the rankings of all participating disciples will automatically rise by one."
As soon as these words were spoken, many true disciples who were still immersed in the fear of three disasters and nine disasters were shocked when they heard the sound, and their sorrow and fear were immediately covered by great joy.
Moving up one place in the ranking is not an illusion, it is a real benefit.
You must know that the top ten on the magical power list, the sects all have generous rewards, especially the eleventh true disciple, who originally thought there was no hope of winning, but when Min Fa died, he automatically gave up his position.
Thinking about it from another perspective, although the three disasters and nine disasters are terrible, everyone is afraid of them like a tiger.
But this "tiger" is not something anyone can meet if they want to. Only monks who have broken through to the eighth level of the spiritual realm and have full energy and blood in their bodies can survive the tribulation.
Those inner disciples and outer disciples who are not even true disciples talk about three disasters and nine rare and terrifying things, which is tantamount to...
Crazy talk about dreams!
It is no exaggeration to say that 99% of the disciples in this world do not have the qualifications and strength even if they want to overcome three disasters and nine disasters.
"Now let's invite the new Sandingjia and the top ten disciples on the magical power list to come on stage and receive their rewards!"
The great elder waved his sleeves, and the terrifying power of space swept through the entire True Immortal Academy Dao Palace. The battlefield opened in the boundless void was closed, and Chen Changan, who was on the ring, was also moved back to the True Immortal Academy Dao Palace.
Shui Xinghui, Zhang Jiankun... Mu Wanqing... Long Li and other ten true disciples were swept by the power of space. Their bodies lifted up without any wind and automatically flew to the center of the Tao Palace.
As the top of this magical power list and the new top scholar in the Three Cauldrons, he, Chen Changan, naturally stands at the center of the top ten true disciples, ready to receive the most generous reward.
...
At the same time, a corner of the infinite void.
Elder Qinglian knelt on the ground, looking at Chen Changan who was about to receive the top prize on the magical power list. His face was completely twisted with anger and unwillingness.
"Lord Tiangong, this is not fair! This is not fair!!"
"Chen Chang'an only has the fifth level of the spiritual realm. Even if he has the Taoist weapon Heaven and Earth Wood King Cauldron, he is definitely no match for Min Fa!"
"He used a Great Nirvana Pill to force Min Fa to give up. This was clearly exploiting a loophole in the rules of the Supernatural Power Ranking. If such shameless behavior is not severely punished, other disciples will take out treasures to blatantly bribe and buy people's hearts when they participate in the Supernatural Power Ranking in the future. , how can there be any fairness in the magical power list of my Supreme Nine Heaven Palace?!"
If Chen Changan secures his position at the top of the magical power list, Qinglian will not only be unable to kill Chen Changan, but she will also have to think over the cliff to take the blame.
Si Guo Cliff is not a place for people. Even Elder Qinglian, who has entered the Taoist realm, can't stop trembling at the thought of spending ten years at Si Guo Cliff.
"Master Tiangong, please make the decision, deprive him of Chen Changan's position at the top of the list, and execute him, Chen Changan, as a warning to others! To clarify the law!"
Lord Tiangong glanced at Elder Qinglian who was kneeling on the ground, and then at Chen Changan who was receiving the reward in the Taoist Palace of Zhenxian Yuan. The corners of his mouth raised slightly:
"Qinglian, Chen Changan has never used a Great Nirvana Pill to force Min Fa to give up."
"On the contrary, what I saw was that he, Chen Changan, gave the Great Nirvana Pill to Min Fa to help him overcome his calamity."
"From the beginning to the end, Chen Changan and Min Fa have never left the ring. If Min Fa succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, there will definitely be a battle between the two of them..."
Before Master Tiangong could finish speaking, Elder Qinglian spoke anxiously:
"But when Min Faduo was in the eighth difficulty, he, Chen Changan, clearly wanted to mobilize the Heaven and Earth Wood King Cauldron to kill his fellow sect secretly..."
"Did you see it?"
"..."
Elder Qinglian opened his mouth half-open and was speechless for a moment.
Although Chen Changan did not actually take action, the Heaven and Earth Wood King Cauldron hidden in the sea of consciousness has revived and is constantly condensing energy, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Min Fa who is going through the tribulation.
The first elder and second elder of Zhenxian Academy have not entered the Taoist realm, so they cannot see this, so it is normal.
But how could Elder Qinglian, who had entered the Dao realm, and Master Tiangong, who was a member of the Supreme Dao emperor, not see the clues?
But Lord Qinglian's protective attitude left her speechless and unable to defend herself.
"But Lord Tiangong, no matter what, Chen Changan..."
boom! !
Before Elder Qinglian finished speaking, Lord Tiangong waved his hand, shattering the void, and directly knocked Elder Qinglian into Siguo Cliff...
Immediately, the light and shadow of the old man transformed by Lord Tiangong slowly dissipated until he turned into countless light particles and completely disappeared.
Only one sentence is left, echoing in the boundless void:
"Master Headmaster, in addition to Lu Ziang and Ji Fengyan, there is another variable in our Taishang Jiutian Palace..."
