"Why aren't you afraid of the darkness?" the woman asked.
"Why am I afraid of the darkness?" Long Chen asked back.
The woman was stunned, as if she didn't expect Long Chen to ask back. She continued to ask: "Then why do you like darkness?"
Long Chen replied directly without thinking: "Because I am used to darkness, in a world full of bullying and insulted and powerless to resist, no one pity me, no one helps me, and no one wants to accompany me.
Only darkness never rejects me. No matter what grievances I suffer, it is willing to listen to me silently.
Even if the whole world abandons me, it will accompany me silently. It will never reject me, and its arms will always be open to me.
When I did not embark on the road of cultivation, in my world, only darkness is my friend. In its arms, I silently shed tears and heal my wounds. When I am strong enough, I will leave it and fight and break through.
When I was covered in scars, it was my greatest comfort because I knew it was waiting for me.
It's so good for me, why should I be afraid of it? Why can't I like it?"
The woman continued to ask, "You have experienced darkness and light, which one do you prefer?"
"I like both, and I don't like them either." Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
"Then what do you think is the line between darkness and light?" the woman asked.
"There is no boundary, there is light in the darkness, and there is darkness in the light." Long Chen responded.
"I see."
Hearing Long Chen's answer, a sudden look appeared on the woman's face, as if she understood something.
She looked at Long Chen and said, "Your philosophy is right. There is no absolute blackness, no absolute whiteness, no absolute kindness, and no absolute evil.
But you have to remember that there is a boundary between black and white, and there is also a standard between right and wrong.
And this boundary and standard are like a judge, which can judge right and wrong, right and wrong."
Long Chen shook his head and asked, "Can the judge really be selfless? Who can guarantee that its judgment is accurate?"
"This is related to one thing, that is, the base of the scale, which is the basis for balancing all dharmas.
There must be a balance base between black and white, between right and wrong, between good and evil, between movement and stillness, between tangible and invisible, etc. between any opposing energy.
To use your human race’s understanding, Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
Heaven and earth produce yang, and yin rebirth; heaven and earth produce yin, and yang are born, so all things in the world are mutually generated and restrained, and complement each other.
Based on this, there is yin and yang, there is life and death, there is good and evil, there is movement and there is stillness, and there is purity and there is turbidity.
But there is a mysterious force between yin and yang, life and death, good and evil, movement and stillness, and clear and turbidity, which separates them. One and two are opposites, but with three, one and two begin to interact, and the two forces are running and cycled, our world is found." The woman said.
Long Chen's heart was trembling, and lightning was thundering in his mind, as if he saw an unprecedented world.
"That scale is three. If you combine two completely opposite forces, you can have the power of creation?" Long Chen's heart was beating wildly, and even his voice trembled.
"It's like this in theory, but in fact... I'm thinking too much, the Tao is speechless, and any truth that can be explained clearly with my mouth is not the real Tao.
The great way we talk about is nothing but ordinary way. If the true mystery of heaven and earth is revealed, it will either be destroyed in the nine heavens or be reborn in the ten realms." The woman said.
"Thank you senior!"
Long Chen bowed respectfully to the woman. What the woman said was equivalent to pushing a window for him and seeing an unprecedented world.
Moreover, Long Chen understood why the strong man of the Dragon Clan wanted to enlighten him. This woman's realm was too high.
The woman nodded, her body turned into endless flames and slowly disappeared, while Long Chen sat cross-legged in front of the gate, slowly forming seals with her hands.
"boom"
Long Chen covered his golden scales, and the power of qi and blood burst out in an instant. The energy of blood, qi and bones was ignited, as if a volcano erupted.
The world that was originally dark because of the woman's departure was lit up again because of Long Chen.
...
In the tenth level, in the dark world, people let out heavy breaths, and they felt that their will was almost collapsed.
In the darkness, endless negative emotions kept eroding them, and all painful experiences returned to their eyes, as if there was an invisible wall ahead, blocking their direction of progress.
The wall is so thick that it makes people desperate, there is no light or hope, there is only endless despair.
At the beginning, Zhu Yunwen and others were still encouraging them. Listening to Zhu Yunwen and the princes and daughters who encouraged them morale, they could still persevere.
Later, they could not hear anything except their own breathing and heartbeats. It seemed that even the people around them could not sense it. It seemed that a person was thrown into the abyss of death, called Tiantian and Earth.
When they stepped onto the tenth level and the tenth level, the power of darkness became stronger because Long Chen was friendly to the power of darkness and could not sense it at all, but everyone felt uncomfortable, and even Zhu Yunwen and others began to have some auditory hallucinations.
Suddenly a ray of light came, and they saw the door ahead. Through the crack of the door, they saw the golden divine light.
"It's Long Chen."
Yu Qingxuan screamed with excitement, and everyone was suddenly excited. Long Chen was already waiting for them in front of him, and victory was right in front of him.
For a moment, everyone cheered up again and rushed towards the eleventh level. Various sounds appeared at this eleventh level. This was not auditory hallucination, but real sounds. But everyone ignored it, gathered their center and worked hard along the light.
"boom"
Suddenly, everyone exclaimed, the light disappeared, and the whole world fell into darkness again.
"puff"
Long Chen squirted out a mouthful of blood, and his body actually cracked. In the endless darkness, Long Chen looked at his hands and a smile appeared on his face:
"Hehe, I found it. The power of blood, qi, and bones is tangible. Spirit, soul, intention is tangible inside, and invisible outside.
The key to the Dragon God Body Refining Technique is to balance the tangible power and the invisible power. The power that can balance the two is the will, that is, the base of the scale, and the three in the great way."
After resting for half an hour, Long Chen stopped shouting, his whole body glowed again, and a divine light rushed straight into the sky, and the loud sound of the dragon roar resounded throughout the Suzaku space.
"Buzz"
The dragon scales on Long Chen's body began to emit the same rhythm as breathing. The invisible soul power and the tangible flesh and blood blended together, and they could no longer distinguish each other.
"Successful, successful!"
The powerful dragon clan roared excitedly, and it was even more excited than Long Chen.
The moment Long Chen merged the invisible power and the tangible power together, he felt suddenly expanding and was about to explode.
"Cloud Dragon Offers Claws"
Long Chen roared and slapped his claws at the door. If he did not release this power, he would explode and die.
"boom"
With a loud bang, the huge door was shattered by Long Chen's claws. Under the twist of the space, Long Chen and others appeared in the palace again.
"We... are out?"
Zhu Yunwen and others couldn't believe their eyes, they actually completed the trial.
"Very good, you finally come out, hurry up and go to the battlefield. Zhuque is in a huge crisis."
