Yang Ji stepped down and stabilized his body. He clearly didn't see anything at that moment.
Looking up again, except for the inscription that read "Sixth Level of Martial Arts", the entire Buddhist scripture cave was empty. There was no second person in sight, and no obstacles could be seen.
It was quiet in the cave, Yang Ji stood there in silence.
I don't know how long it took, but Yang Ji walked over and stopped in front of the stone tablet. He stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and inserted it slowly.
"Buzz!"
Under Yang Ji's gaze, a circular light film emitted a faint light and burst out from the stone tablet. The color of the light film changed from light to dark, covering the entire cave.
The light film emits a yellow or blue light, and two blade-like writings appear on the surface:
"Stop!"
The two large Chinese characters with flying dragons and phoenixes are majestic and give off an aura of antiquity, as if they were written a long time ago.
The seriousness and rigidity revealed in the font is like a stern reprimand from an elder in a sect.
"this……"
Yang Ji was stunned. He slowly retracted his palm, and soon, the light film disappeared, and a black hole appeared in front of him. He stretched out his palm again, and the light film appeared again, with the iron hook on it marked "Stop, step"
The two words are clearly visible.
Repeatedly like this, the light film keeps appearing, disappearing, appearing, disappearing...
"How is this going……"
Yang Ji lowered his head and fell into deep thought. The light film was obviously born from the stone tablet of "The Sixth Level of Martial Arts", but along the way, Yang Ji saw at least five such stone tablets, but nothing happened.
"No accident, these restrictions should have been left by the ancestors of the sect. Only one of the six stone tablets was triggered, and the other five had no response. It doesn't make sense... There must be something in it that I didn't notice.
"
Yang Ji thought secretly. Thoughtfully.
The light film is very hard. Although Yang Ji has not tried it, even if it can be destroyed by force, it may cause the destruction of the Scripture Cave.
The important place of the sect is no small matter. Once damage is caused, I am afraid that the gatekeeper will throw himself out of here as soon as he hears the movement without waiting for four hours.
"Some people have entered here before. It is impossible for these people to break in here like me. They should have triggered the restriction in front. Otherwise, the disciples who are passing on the martial arts may have already learned the fourth and fifth levels of martial arts.
went."
"But if it is triggered based on the realm cultivation level of the entrant, then I only have the cultivation level of the fourth level of martial arts, Blood Furnace Realm. Even Xiao Zhoutian has not been formed, and the ban trigger should not be here. Just on the fifth stone tablet
It should have been triggered there. But I made it all the way without encountering any obstacles..."
Yang Ji's mind goes back and forth, if it is not judged by his skill and realm...
"...Is it spiritual power?"
Yang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly. A dazzling light flashed in his eyes:
"If it's mental power, it would be easier to handle."
Yang Ji's mind gradually became clear. Nothing else about him was good, only his mental power was beyond his current state. Most warriors' mental power and strength corresponded to each other, but he was different.
If the triggering conditions of the six stone tablets are based on the spiritual power level of the warrior, it can also explain why he can successfully pass through the area of the fifth level of martial arts, but encounters obstacles in the area of the sixth level of martial arts.
This shows that his mental strength is completely comparable to a strong person at the fifth level of martial arts, but it has not yet reached the level of a strong person at the sixth level of martial arts.
"Try again!"
Yang Ji stuck the torch on the cave wall and stretched out his arm again.
"Buzz!"
The light flashed. Without any will, the extremely tough light film appeared again, blocking Yang Ji's arm.
Yang Ji continued to increase his strength and moved his palms forward. The hardness of the light film became stronger and stronger, and a huge resistance was transmitted, firmly blocking Yang Ji at the "Sixth Level of Martial Arts"
In front of the stone monument.
Yang Ji tried it several times in succession and gradually got the idea.
"Try again and integrate mental power into it. See if it works."
Yang Ji slowly closed his eyes and concentrated on integrating his spiritual power into his blood and flowing it along the palm of his hand.
The light film did not produce any changes.
"Didn't work."
Yang Ji frowned and opened his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and increased the intensity of his mental power transmission. The light film still did not change in any way.
Yang Ji continued to increase his mental power. When his mental power increased to a certain level, a sudden change occurred——
"Buzz!"
Like a ferocious beast activated, the light film several feet high suddenly fluctuated, and a sucking force came out from inside the light film, which quickly sucked in the spiritual power attached to Yang Ji's palm.
"It works!"
Yang Ji was overjoyed and immediately increased the transmission of spiritual power.
Every time the light film absorbs a bit of mental power, the color becomes darker. The faster and more Yang Ji's mental power is consumed, the faster the light film becomes darker.
"really!"
Yang Ji was overjoyed and had no more doubts in his mind. He concentrated on it and poured all his mental power into the light film.
"boom!"
But in an instant, the mental energy in Yang Ji's mind was sucked away. And the brightness of the light film also dimmed a lot.
Seeing that he had lost the support of his spiritual power, a circle of intense light burst out from the stone tablet, and the light film was about to become extremely solid again. In the flash of lightning and stone fire, a majestic spiritual power flowed back from the small stone between the eyebrows, supplementing Yang's body.
Ji's mind.
"Boom!"
The light film shattered, and without any delay, Yang Ji bent down and passed through the area where the stone monument was before the restriction was restored again.
Behind him, light flashed, and the shining restriction once again filled the passage. However, it disappeared again in a short period of time and returned to silence.
"Success!"
Yang Ji breathed a sigh of relief and felt a cold sweat break out all over his body.
The torch was thrown over there, and there was darkness all around. Yang Ji pondered for a moment, took out a box from his arms, and took out the "fire-proof beads" and "water-proof beads" inside.
As soon as the two beads appeared, they immediately burst out with two circles of light, one blue and one red, illuminating the area more than ten feet on both sides of the passage as if it were daytime.
"Fortunately I brought these two beads."
Yang Ji felt very happy.
There was no one in the entire passage. Yang Ji calmed down and quickly began to look at both sides of the passage carefully. In the red and blue brilliance, streaks of multicolored light spread out from the walls on both sides.
In the light, a beautiful and magnificent picture scroll appeared. Gods, ghosts, demons, demons, sun, moon, mountains and rivers were all in it.
Seeing these scrolls, Yang Ji's eyes were immediately attracted deeply and he could hardly move away.
"It's a sutra painting!"
Yang Ji took a deep breath.
Although he has not practiced, each of these sutra paintings gave Yang Ji an extremely powerful feeling. It was even more powerful than when Yang Ji saw Lin Qingyan and Zhao Hua performing sword and boxing exercises.
"It is indeed the sixth level of martial arts!"
Yang Ji was extremely excited.
A strong person at the sixth level of martial arts is called a "martial general". Although it is different from the "general" of the imperial court, it is not an official title of the Ministry of War, and naturally it cannot be said to command an army.
But the meaning is the same. A strong person who has reached this level is like standing out from the crowd. He is a "general" among all the "warriors" in the world, and has the capital to be proud of the world's warriors.
According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, all generals must have at least a "military general" level of cultivation. This was the standard for recruiting officials in the court.
Regardless of whether you are a wealthy family, a son of a prince, or even a member of the royal family, if you want to obtain the title of "general", it is a rigid target to reach the realm of "military general". Otherwise, no matter how noble your birth is, it will be useless.
During the Battle of Langya, Yang Ji had seen the power of those generals and senior leaders of the Tianyin Sect. Powerful men of that level were definitely not comparable to Zhao Hua and Lin Qingyan.
"If you can learn the martial arts of the sixth level of martial arts..., you can save a chance to do the Sutra Cave mission in the future. More importantly, if you take the martial arts examination next year, your chances of standing out will be greatly increased."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
Yang Ji has personally experienced how dangerous the "Tibetan Scripture Cave Mission" in the sect is. People like Chen Shi'en also died directly there.
Although this mission was an accident, it is enough to show that the "Tibetan Scripture Cave Mission" is very unexpected and risky.
Learning a martial arts at the sixth level of martial arts is equivalent to doing one less "Tibetan Scripture Cave Mission", saving time, energy and risks.
However, this is not what Yang Ji cares about most.
The martial arts examinations of the imperial court are generally staggered. If the "Tongsheng Examination" is in the first year, then the "Xiucai Examination" may be in the second year, and the "Juren Examination" is in the third year..., and the various levels are staggered from each other.
The purpose of this is to avoid excessive consumption of the imperial court's strength and the occurrence of a large number of empty periods at the same time, so as to help those who are truly talented to advance quickly, and then be closer to the purpose of selecting top talents for the imperial court.
"Registration will start in March next year, and in a few months it will be the official scientific examination. The time is too short, I don't know if it's still too late..."
Thinking of the martial arts examination, Yang Ji couldn't help but feel worried.
He is still at the fourth level of martial arts. If he cannot catch up with the martial arts examination, he will have to wait for at least two more years. Although two years is not too long, it is actually three years.
If you have to wait three years for each level of the martial arts examination, then when will you be able to pass the examination, and when will you be able to become a Jinshi?
The rule of the Han Dynasty was that admissions should be based on merit. If you don't show enough talent even at a very old age, your achievements in life may be limited to achievement.
Although the ninety-year-old "scholar" is also a "scholar", no one will really respect him.
More importantly, when can I catch up with "Yang Xuanlan".
"If a man is alive or dead, he will be cooked by five cauldrons. No matter what, I will not lose to him!"
A ray of light flashed in Yang Ji's eyes, and he quickly came back to his senses, staring at the rows of magnificent colorful sutra paintings on both sides of the cave. (To be continued...)
