"The master I am looking for must be someone who can withstand the will of this world. Even if the spirit body of this old man dies, one day in the future, he will be able to use the Mountains and Rivers Society Map to create a real world."
The old man Qi Ling stood on the top of the mountain, slowly turned around, looked at everyone and said:
"In the past, low-level people like you would not have the qualifications to inherit the country, but now you have a chance, as long as you pass my test."
"What is the test?"
Xue Zhongjing asked impatiently, looking at this world, the excitement and greed in his expression could hardly be concealed.
He admitted that his knowledge was still short-sighted.
Originally, I just thought that it would be enough to win the inheritance here, be able to run rampant in Beijun, and make some reputation in the Xuan Realm, but I didn't expect that I would encounter such a great opportunity again.
As long as I can obtain this map of mountains and rivers, I may one day become a being on par with the way of heaven!
Xue Zhongjing almost fainted from happiness just thinking about how beneficial it would be to his practice to have his own small world, completely forgetting the fact that this map of mountains, rivers, country and land was not his.
"It's very simple. You just need to pick up the pen in front of you and try your best to leave a mark on this space."
The weapon spirit of the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Diagram said, and with a wave of his hand, four large brushes suddenly appeared in front of everyone, dipped in light golden ink, and held up by the clouds, very heavy.
"This object is called the Great Dao Brush. It is made of ninety million bristles. It is harder than meteorite iron. It has talismans engraved on it."
"What you have to do is to use this pen to perfect the rules of the great road in this space. I will tell you how to write it specifically. However, since your realm is low, I do not require you to carve out the complete great road."
"Whoever among you can leave even a trace or a mark in this space will be qualified to inherit the map of mountains and rivers. If not, then leave on your own. Leave me here for tens of millions of dollars." Years, waiting for the next destined person to appear."
The old man Qi Ling sighed, reached out and picked up a pen, concentrated on turning ink into gold, and carved a slash in the space. He lifted the tail upwards, and the ink splashed out a perfect arc in the space. The line can be described as a pen that moves like a dragon or a snake.
Then, a dazzling golden light lit up on the slash that had just been written. The space in front of everyone's eyes was suddenly filled with countless golden lights, and the air of the entire world was floating everywhere. With that complex and stunning strokes.
"This is...the avenue?"
Everyone looked shocked. Ji Ning raised his hand and murmured to himself, trying to hold one or two of the talismans. However, the moment he touched them, he suddenly retracted his hand, and his mouth was filled with surprise.
These avenue marks were as hot as red-hot iron. Fortunately, he didn't hold them directly just now. He only took them back after getting close.
But even so, Ji Ning's palm still left a deep mark.
And as the talisman carved by the old weapon spirit was completely integrated into the space, the golden light in the sky slowly disappeared.
As a result, the world seemed to have changed slightly. The rain in a certain corner suddenly became abundant. Standing on the top of the mountain, Ji Ning and others felt that something had changed in the world, but it seemed that it had not changed.
The old man with the weapon spirit retracted his hand and murmured:
"Three thousand avenues are as bright as stars. What I describe is just a messy part of the complete rules of the avenue. For thousands of years, they seem to have supported the world, and they are just a little short of being able to truly operate. In fact, it’s not even a little bit worse.”
"I don't expect any of you to understand the mystery of this at once. I only hope that in my lifetime, I can meet a young person who can control the pen of the great road. Even if he is of low level, I can hand over my inheritance to him. In the end, a new world was not created, but it was considered as fulfilling a wish.”
While the old man was muttering to himself, Xue Zhongjing could not wait to hold the pen, imitate the posture of Qi Ling, concentrate on trying to leave a mark on the space.
However, no matter how he swung his pen, condensed his spiritual energy, or suppressed his face to turn red, he could not leave even a tiny mark in the space.
The golden ink on the Great Avenue pen dripped into the space and disappeared without a trace.
Zhen Xixi also raised her Dao Pen and started trying.
Her strength was very small, so just the act of picking up the pen seemed very laborious. Only by superimposing two of her not-so-slender wrists could she lift the pen, and the result was naturally the same as Xue Zhongjing's.
Seeing this scene, the old man Qi Ling sighed helplessly.
The matter of burning the avenue is related to the realm, but it has nothing to do with it.
Practitioners with advanced realms have seen the vastness of the world, sensed and even understood the great way. They are very familiar with the mysterious and mysterious power, so they naturally know how to control it and can leave a mark.
But just doing this is not enough.
As for people of low status, because they have not been exposed to the Dao, they are like ordinary officials taking the imperial examination who have never studied the Six Arts Classics and are fighting in front of the emperor. When Xue Zhongjing and Zhen Xixi mentioned their pens, they completely forgot what they should do. What.
Xue Zhongjing scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, the spiritual energy in his body surged, and he wished he could condense strokes in the space on his own.
He carefully recalled the actions of the old man with the spirit of Qian Shun.
He clearly remembered that the old man Qi Ling simply drew a stroke in the space, and his movements were not sloppy at all. He remembered it at a glance, but at this moment he had completely forgotten it. This may be the so-called forgetting to write after picking up the pen.
The old man Qi Ling sighed. It seemed that these two people had no chance, so he turned his attention to Ji Ning and Qi Lan.
He paid special attention to Ji Ning.
This young man was the first to discover the extraordinary map of mountains and rivers. While others were still choosing among the other treasures, it was Ji Ning who pointed his finger at him.
And for some reason, he still vaguely sensed the smell of an old friend in Ji Ning.
Perhaps it was an illusion. No matter who he was, his old friend had been dead for tens of millions of years, and there was no way he would have left any heirs. The so-called feeling of being an old friend may just be the result of him not being around for too long. hallucination.
But what if?
There seemed to be an unusual aura in Ji Ning's aura, but he couldn't identify what it was.
While thinking, Ji Ning already opened his hand.
As soon as he grasped the brush, he felt the heavy strength, and his body almost staggered. Fortunately, he tightened his grip in time.
Seeing Ji Ning holding the brush firmly with one hand, the old man Qi Ling and Xue Zhongjing were both a little surprised at the same time.
What happened next made both of them's eyes widen.
I saw Ji Ning grabbing the brush, but not condensing his spiritual energy.
The young man looked calm. He compared the brush to a sword and slashed at the air in front of him in a familiar yet unfamiliar way.
Yes, he is practicing his sword.
He still remembered that the Mulin Sword Technique taught to him by Miss Ye Yu when he was in Xiushan helped him kill the monster alone for the first time. It was so powerful that he still remembered it freshly.
However, when Ye Yu left later, he no longer had a sword to practice with.
He originally thought that after leaving Xiushan, he would find a blacksmith in the town to forge one, but unexpectedly, it was blocked by the peak. Until now, he had not practiced for a long time, and he had almost forgotten this swordsmanship.
Ji Ning's expression was serious, and he clenched the brush in his hand. Waves of wind stirred up in the space, and a chilling air emanated from the hard mane. His speed became faster and faster, and his techniques became more and more proficient.
He didn't stop until finally, when three bead-sized beads of sweat dripped from Ji Ning's head.
"If it could be lighter and longer, it might even be a useful weapon."
Ji Ning smiled with satisfaction, sighed lightly, and put the Dao Dao brush in his hand back to its original place.
This move made the weapon spirit of the Mountain and River Sheji Map stunned, and he couldn't help but ask:
"What are you doing?"
"Even if you know you have no chance, with such a big opportunity in front of you, don't you want to give it a try? Why give up on yourself?"
Hearing this, Ji Ning knew that the other party had misunderstood, waved his hand and chuckled:
"To be honest, senior, I made an agreement with my friends before I entered this place. I will not take any of the treasures and magical artifacts here. The same goes for the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map. Even if I have the ability to leave an engraving, I will not take."
"What's more, I don't have the same ambitions as my predecessors. Even if I have the Mountains and Rivers Map, I will most likely only use it as a normal magic weapon, or even directly as a space storage place."
"I will not inherit your mantle and devote a lot of time to repairing the world's roads like my predecessors thought, so I simply won't try to avoid causing trouble to everyone."
Ji Ning smiled and cupped his hands before explaining calmly.
The old Qi Ling who was listening on the side nodded slightly when he heard the words.
Everyone has his own ambitions.
The Mountains and Rivers Sheji Diagram is originally a functional magic weapon. When used by ordinary people, it can easily change the terrain and create favorable terrain for fighting. It can even integrate all the formations deployed by the enemy in a space into the mountains and rivers. , reduced to waste.
Most of his previous masters used him in this way. Some of them had reached a very terrifying state and had great opportunities to help him fulfill his long-cherished wish, but no one was willing to waste time on this "meaningless" thing. " place.
"Your idea is not wrong. If we go back a few years, maybe you and I can really have some fate. But unfortunately, I am very old now. I can only retain my strength by sleeping. I only have one last chance."
The old man Qi Ling sighed lightly. After fighting for so many days and traveling through so many mountains and rivers, it was normal for him to be a little selfish now.
I just don’t know if I can be satisfied.
If none of Ji Ning's four people meets the requirements and leaves a road mark in this space, then he will fall into deep sleep again.
There is no way of knowing whether this sleep will last for millions of years or whether it will be a permanent scene of death.
In short, in his last life, in his twilight years, he would not just follow someone casually.
So he set his sights on Qi Lan, the last one who didn't try.
This young man watched the demonstration very seriously from the beginning. After that, the symbols of the Space Avenue emerged, and he also observed them carefully one by one. He did not skip over them like others, but studied them carefully. Meaning.
Although Qi Lan did not interpret any of its meaning, he seemed to feel that he understood some of it.
The avenue he read has the character "人".
What is a person?
Joy, anger, joy, sorrow, greed, anger, ignorance and satisfaction, good and evil intertwined, complex and changeable animals, now dominate the continent, and can glimpse the existence of heaven trying to live forever.
Although the strokes used to write human characters are only one stroke and one stroke, it is not possible to include so many complex factors mentioned before with just one stroke.
Qi Lan also knew very well that it was impossible to complete the human character with his own strength. He would definitely not be able to do what the old man Qi Ling had not been able to do for so many years, so he set his sights on Other places.
This scene fell in the eyes of the old man Qi Ling, and then his eyes lit up.
This young man is actually making a choice!
"Do you understand the truth behind this!?"
