Everyone's eyes fell on Yuan Chen.
Yuan Chen smiled slightly, and did not ask anyone to wait for a long time, or come to "please"; he raised his arms, and a deep and bright voice came from his long sleeves, and at the same time he walked quickly between the two monuments and the three lists.
After a while, he came directly opposite Xu Zhenyun.
From movement to stillness, let it be natural.
Xu Zhenyun surprisingly did not turn his eyes in the direction of the "people list", but focused on the attitude of the "acquaintance" in front of him.
Yuan Chen seemed to be smiling, but also seemed not to be smiling. He looked at Xu Zhenyun eye to eye.
Although the look in his eyes meant "meeting acquaintances", he did not say hello.
Xu Zhenyun’s mind perception——
For example, the previous few people were either doing it on a routine basis, just to test the changes in their names after being "listed", and had no intention of fighting Xu Zhenyun; or they were really energetic and wanted to compete with Xu Zhenyun.
Xu Zhenyun originally secretly guessed, which kind of person is Yuan Chen? But over and over again, the other person's thoughts seem to be slippery, specious, and irregular; it seems that his true thoughts are deeply hidden.
Even Xu Zhenyun, who is in "careful observation" mode, is not confident in coming to a certain conclusion!
But other people here had no intention of appreciating the subtle bond between Xu Zhenyun and Yuan Chen; they all looked at the list of people.
Since Yuan Chen stood still, the list has not moved at all.
Everyone here was excited; even Lin Ziwei, Shu Hansu, and Mu Qingyun looked slightly shocked.
Even if he is second in the ranking, once he stands opposite Xu Zhenyun and his position is injured, the entire ranking will be unable to stay and he will fall directly to the thirty-seventh place. However, Yuan Chen's ranking does not move at all!
In fact, with the subtle perception of Mu Qingyun and others' human mind, we can certainly see that the current number one on the list of people, the first direct descendant of Xuanwu Jingshe, is not simple; the only person who can not fall down on the list of people after his character is injured is him. None other than.
But it is inevitable that the ranking will drop some.
What I can guess is that it just dropped to thirty-six; or it fell to a dozen or more than twenty.
Now it is clear that the gap between Yuan Chen and second place Mu Hanfei is very likely to be wider than the gap between second place and thirty-sixth place!
The so-called "amazing talent, brilliant, difficult and capable" is nothing more than this!
Only then did Xu Zhenyun turn his head and look, slightly lost in thought, and said with a smile: "It's unfathomable, that's all."
A light flashed on Yuan Chen's face, as if there was a look of "doing good", and he smiled vividly and said: "I thought that when I saw you again, Xu Zhenyun, it would be the day when the gate of heaven opened and the paddle wheel came into being; but it didn't help. It was a time when the world was in turmoil and the strong men inside and outside gathered together at the two monuments. I didn't expect this day to come so quickly."
Yuan Chen's two words were extremely loud; but when they fell into the ears of everyone, they all listened attentively without any resistance.
Even Xiang Tianwen, who was supposed to hate this style of work the most, just blinked and did not show any "repulsion" or "disgust".
After a few breaths, a natural thought appeared in everyone's mind like an afterthought -
The only way for Xu Zhenyun to achieve "Eighth Rank Ranking" is to defeat Yuan Chen?
If you can get on the list by defeating thirty-six people, then defeating someone with a higher ranking is certainly not a problem; but the person in front of you is no ordinary person, but a genius among geniuses in the contemporary hidden sect.
Impossible!
After a few simple conversations, Yuan Chen and Xu Zhenyun fell into calm again.
Yuan Chen blinked slightly, seeming to feel a little relieved.
He originally also mastered a method that could realize his wish of "a battle"; but Yuan Chen always felt that this method was too thorough and deliberate. Fortunately now, the original preparation method no longer needs to be used.
He naturally became Xu Zhenyun's only opponent.
But after thinking about it, Yuan Chen had a new doubt in his mind - if the purpose was just to get Xu Zhenyun to "enter the eighth rank", wouldn't it be best for him to achieve the sixth rank in advance according to the original plan?
In this way, Mu Hanfei will be ranked number one on the list; Xu Zhenyun will face the dilemma of "having no reasonable opponent". There is no need for any "blocking", he will naturally not be able to do this!
Although Yuan Chen did not think that he would lose, the act of delaying his breakthrough for six hours gave Xu Zhenyun a "theoretical" opportunity.
What's the meaning of this?
Or is it that he has gained more by defeating Xu Zhenyun and is not satisfied with winning without a fight?
Thoughts floated, and suddenly, a trace of regret appeared in Yuan Chen's heart - in fact, defeating Xu Zhenyun, who was of the same level, was more in line with his true intention. My experience at this moment is rather like "the general trend is that we have to do it."
Putting away his thoughts, and condensing the fighting spirit in his heart, Yuan Chen calmly said: "Xu Zhen..."
Yuan Chen was slightly startled and his words stopped abruptly.
Because Xu Zhenyun opposite was also thinking, and thinking deeper; so much so that he closed his eyes!
Xu Zhenyun's thoughts were flying and his mind was as strong as iron.
Three words clearly emerged in my mind——
"impossible!"
It is impossible to defeat Yuan Chen in a battle between the seventh and eighth grades!
This is not to encourage others' ambitions and destroy one's own prestige.
Xu Zhenyun once thought about it, could he create a miracle if he had the courage to do his best and burn all the boats, as if burning 200% of his small universe with the accompaniment of BGM?
But if you think about it carefully, the answer is: impossible.
Xu Zhenyun had a vague but clear understanding in his heart - whether the guy in front of him was "foundation" or "opportunity", it was very likely that he was in the same realm as himself; at most, he had no experience of reminding him like Ye Chaoyin. That’s all.
Defeating this person across a large realm is as outrageous as the eighth-grade Xu Zhenyun's victory over seventh-grade Xu Zhenyun.
But this is another level that I must pass.
The "infinite difficulties" that we envisioned in advance are becoming a reality.
Xu Zhenyun has never tried to think about problems in such a state of mind.
For example, after discovering "the ability to see the small world" and the "secret of evil cultivation", and after realizing the secret of Wei Xinghe's identity, Xu Zhenyun's mentality was of course very urgent; but after all, he was facing specific things, and there was no metaphysical and transcendent charm.
As for leaving your name on the back of the Shenwu Balance, or breaking through to the eighth level yourself, there is a transcendent charm; but it is not urgent.
Like now, Xu Zhenyun felt that he was standing at the crossroads of destiny and had to make a decision. At the same time, the things he experienced were related to "Tao" and had its own mysterious laws. This was the first time.
Every breath and breath of the skin, the clothes on the body, and every feather and thread are all clearly felt; the person in front of him and the spiritual state he is standing in all give rise to a transcendent perception.
At the same time, a picture, an event, and a person emerged in my mind; they were all experienced in Xinyuan's home world in the past two or three months.
The Tao is intense, the daily humor is all-encompassing.
The things I recalled were mainly related to spiritual practice at the beginning; but after wandering around, at the end, these secrets of magical passages, exercises, and realms related to spiritual practice were gradually refined into an illusory "background"; it seemed that In the vast void, there is a deep blue sky and a bright yellow land, rising and falling, including "Xu Zhenyun" in the middle.
At the same time, when he broke through to the eighth level, when he left his name in Shenwu Tianping, the scene of wandering around the mountains and rivers, walking in the woods, and swimming in Pinghu with Ran Chuchu emerged again.
However, it is different from the "independent presentation" in the previous two episodes; this time, this picture is actually placed between the two images of "heaven" and "earth" that symbolize the mysterious and far-reaching avenue.
Above is the sky; below is the earth; in the middle are fallen leaves, Xu Zhenyun and Ran Chuchu are swimming in the world of mortals.
"Alas!"
"Is this a divine channel technique?"
"The two are already fighting? But Xu Zhenyun is supposed to be a martial artist, so how can he use illusions and magical powers?"
Suddenly, all the disciples of the five hidden sects spoke out one after another.
But when he looked at the teacher, even Liu Baowu, Su Zhenzi, and even Li Da, who had his name on the Taoist Immortal Monument, had shock on their faces at the same time, as if they didn't know what was going on with their eyesight; He was stunned on the spot.
But in this part of the Immortal Dynasty of Humanity, Lin Ziwei, Shu Hansu, and Mu Qingyun all showed extremely shocked expressions at the same time; however, Lin Ziwei and Shu Hansu were purely shocked; and after Mu Qingyun was shocked, the corners of his lips could not be concealed. Smile!
"Master, what is this guy Xu Zhenyun doing? Is he doing it through magic weapons?"
Xiang Tianwen scratched his head and said doubtfully.
At this moment——
What everyone present saw was the picture condensed in Xu Zhenyun’s mind:
Between the two huge mountain-shaped fairy monuments, the original ethereal water image still exists, but the image has changed from deep and still water to a lake; above the ethereal void, there is a prominent image of "blue sky"; and; " Under the "lake water", the bright yellow thick earth can be vaguely seen.
The rhyme of Tao is ethereal.
Between the lakes, a wooden pontoon bridge more than two feet wide appeared inexplicably; Xu Zhenyun and a graceful and graceful woman wearing a red and yellow dress, while holding a bouquet of yellow flowers in her hands, walked together. One behind the other, we move forward gracefully on this wooden raft pontoon.
It is not just what Xu Zhenyun is visualizing in his mind; it is objectively displayed outside; everyone can see it!
It was as if a large illusion had been cast.
Lin Ziwei sighed softly and said: "This is the second truth among the four truths of the same world, the truth of seeing paintings."
"If a person with excellent qualifications in the practice of worldly merit can achieve perfection in his meritorious deeds, he may see a vivid picture related to worldly life when he breaks through."
Hearing this, Mu Xueqing nodded thoughtfully and slowly.
"But this step is just the beginning; I have only seen such secular mental paintings many times, and the secular mental paintings and Taoist practice are completely integrated, and the two paintings are merged into one painting; showing that Tao and art are integrated into one, and they are inseparable. Only with the wonders can such a situation be presented.”
"When the two paintings are combined, they can move from the virtual to the real, as if the object is realized, as everyone knows."
Shu Hansu shook his head slightly.
Even if the mysterious power confers special "powers", such realization must rely on the original understanding; it seems that the rare "Third Slate" route of the Jin Dynasty is to put all the treasures under one peerless genius. Above?
Mu Qingyun's voice was erratic: "Those who master the second truth at the fifth level can also be praised as excellent; those who master the second truth below the middle level are unprecedented in ancient and modern times."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingyun turned around and glanced at Xiang Tianwen and Mu Xueqing.
Obviously, it is the same as the first "Experience the Truth"; it is not a good thing to accidentally see others mastering the "Seeing the Truth" without realizing it yourself; in fact, it is equivalent to dabbling in knowledge and making you lose the opportunity. .
But Xiang Tianwen didn't seem to care about this now; he immediately asked: "Um... mastering the meaning of seeing paintings is certainly great, but will it be helpful to the matter at hand?"
Because Yuan Chen was a very special person, Xiang Tianwen seemed to be thinking a little slower than usual; but even if it was slower, he later realized that this "number one on the list" was a very formidable opponent.
This person might even be able to compete with Xu Zhenyun head-on; with a huge lead, it was hard to see Xu Zhenyun having any chance of winning.
Mu Qingyun nodded slowly.
However, she did not give any follow-up explanation, but Lin Ziwei took the initiative to say: "Anyone who has discovered the second truth, 'The Truth of Seeing Paintings', will often get an 'explanation' on the spot - this is the most important thing for me these days." Every problem is solved by providing a solution that seems to come from heaven; it is always effective."
"Therefore, for practitioners of the way of living in the world, it is certainly a good thing to understand the 'truth of seeing paintings'; but whether it occurs at the right time, the actual harvest may be very different."
"If a person has any problems in Taoism, the 'instructions' obtained through 'Seeing the Truth' is tantamount to getting guidance from God out of thin air, no less than the help of the top Taoist techniques; but if a person's current problem is just Some of the trivial things in life; then the harvest of 'instructions on things' is relatively low."
Judging from Lin Ziwei's detailed answer, her enemies and friends were all gone, and it was impossible to tell that Xu Zhenyun was encountering an adventure in front of him, and that it was very likely that he would find a way to crack his chess game.
Xiang Tianwen's eyes lit up and he said loudly: "Then Xu Zhenyun's discovery of the 'truth of seeing paintings' before his eyes, if it is related to the 'eighth-level ranking', wouldn't the benefits be unparalleled?"
Mu Xueqing nodded repeatedly and said with determination, "That must be the case."
This is indeed the case!
After the "truth of seeing paintings" was unintentionally revealed by Xu Zhenyun, when the picture of "reception between heaven and man" gradually dissipated, a clear idea emerged in his mind.
Even all the characters standing opposite him will be temporarily "suppressed" under the thirty-six. I only need to remember the ranking of the thirty-six people on the "People's List" at a certain time, and promise to complete the challenge to all thirty-six people, and complete it within three hours.
Then within three hours of the challenge, the entire "people list" will be in a "frozen" state. There will not be the previous situation where Lu Yizhi and Hao He went down together after being defeated; the rankings were filled by newcomers.
It is equivalent to challenging one by yourself, and one person will be "cleared" from the list.
If all thirty-six people are challenged and the list of people is empty, he will "confirm" that he has completed the challenge and be on the list of people!
It looks like an extremely scary and challenging way to pass; almost bizarre.
Xu Zhenyun's thoughts floated.
In fact, this method is an effective method in the case of "no Yuan Chen"; it can solve the problem of "no reasonable goal". But now that Yuan Chen has this clear goal, it seems that the method provided by "Seeing the Truth of Painting" is unreasonable; it is equivalent to increasing his own burden.
Before defeating Yuan Chen, do you have to defeat thirty-five people? !
etc……
Xu Zhenyun savored the aftertaste of the follow-up, and seemed to vaguely sense that this bottom-up challenging process seemed to contain some benefits or wonderful possibilities...
"This is the last chance; challenge Yuan Chen directly; there is absolutely no chance of victory; it is better to believe in the enlightenment brought by the 'Experiences of Referring to Matters' in 'Seeing the Truth of Painting'..."
Xu Zhenyun has made a decision.
"Fellow Taoist Plum Water Vase?"
Mei Shuiping's figure flashed, and he quickly stepped forward and said: "Xu Zhenyun, if you have any requests, just tell them."
Xu Zhenyun calmly recounted the thoughts that had just emerged in his mind.
Regardless of the three major immortal dynasties or the five major sects, including Xiang Tianwen and Mu Xueqing, all the disciples were surprised when they heard this - the chance of challenging Yuan Chen was already extremely slim; Xu Zhenyun actually wanted to start from the thirty-sixth one and work his way up one by one. challenge?
Even those who originally looked forward to the completion of the "eighth-level ranking" now have almost no expectations.
"Congratulations. Xu Zhenyun, it seems that you have accomplished this amazing feat."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. When they looked up, they saw that it was Yuan Chen who had spoken!
Xu Zhenyun said in surprise: "Why do you say this?"
Could it be that Yuan Chen deliberately gave in?
The last time Perception and Yuan Chen met, they had a great opportunity to give each other a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and the two of them had quite a rapport in conversation. But Xu Zhenyun clearly sensed that vague "sense of competition".
If there is really a chance to take action with all his strength, Xu Zhenyun believes that Yuan Chen will not let go!
Yuan Chen said slowly: "In six hours, it will be the time for me to be promoted to the sixth rank and leave the ranking."
"You only need to wait six hours, wait for me to leave the list before launching a challenge, and make good use of the increase in 'potential', and you should have a high probability of completing this incredible miracle."
After saying this, Yuan Chen showed a bright smile.
Yuan Chen's overall temperament is straightforward but restrained; such an explicit smile is actually quite rare.
Li Da, who was standing far away from the boundary, his eyes narrowed slightly, seeming a little surprised.
Yuan Chen looked calm.
Such pedantic behavior as "deliberately giving in because you admire your enemy" certainly did not happen on his part.
But the path and the heart of the Tao are inherently mysterious and mysterious. If a person always acts according to the most "utilitarian" route throughout his life, he is actually falling behind. There are always one or two special occasions where you don’t take the usual route.
This was the decision that came to Yuan Chen's mind after he saw Xu Zhenyun comprehending the second truth of the world, "the truth of seeing painting" on the spot - it was at this moment that he decided not to take the ordinary path.
Rather than saying it is a "give and take", it is better to say it is a special kind of self-confidence!
Xu Zhenyun and Yuan Chen looked at each other again.
At this moment, Mei Shuiping suddenly said: "Um... I'm afraid your plan won't work."
Yuan Chen said: "Why?"
Mei Shuiping scratched his head, his movements were similar to Xiang Tianwenshen, and said: "I can't summon many people on the list at once, and I can't use them at will; either now, I can summon people in one breath within an hour; or I have to wait three days. Months later.”
"After being summoned, you can hardly stay here for more than half a day."
Xu Zhenyun and Yuan Chen stared at each other at the same time.
ps: I started revising it at 5pm; I didn’t expect that it took more than three hours to revise a chapter. I was exhausted both physically and mentally. It was actually much more tiring than just writing. Now my eyes are swollen. Let’s wait for the update tomorrow. This one with more than 5,000 words counts as one chapter.
(End of chapter)
