A sense of trance came, as if he had passed through a forbidden area. Immediately, Xu You's eyes lit up, and he was already standing in a soft and bright huge space. In front of him was a straight colorful road, and at the end of the road was the rainbow arch.
This feeling is just like throwing into a battle ball, forming a spiritual consciousness, and being able to feel the existence of the deity at the same time is very strange.
He looked to the left and right, and saw that there were countless participating monks standing at the same level as him at equal distances, and everyone had an identical colorful road in front of them.
"Why haven't you seen it? It's just a simple mind-refining road. It can only be regarded as the lowest level thing in Beiyeji Palace. The heart-refining road, the mind-refining road, the soul-refining road, the light-refining road... are much more advanced than this.
."
Xu Yunzi's disdainful voice sounded: "However, this road to refining the mind is not bad, and the difficulty has been reduced. It is more suitable for soul-level monks to walk. If you can walk through it, it will indeed have a good effect on refining the Taoist heart."
Although he is staying in Xu You's storage ring, the spiritual consciousness of a monk in the spiritual realm naturally has a way to enter the path of heart refining without being noticed by anyone.
Xu You was surprised and happy: "Old guy, can you let me walk over as quickly as possible?"
"No, the road to refining the mind can only be walked by you. The most I can do is remind you when you are about to fall into an illusion. The key is to rely on yourself. The road to refining the heart is actually a test of whether your Taoist heart is firm. If the Taoist heart
You are so determined that no illusion can affect you." Xu Yunzi said.
"Okay, I thought you could help me cheat." Xu You sighed. Seeing that many people had started to walk forward, he also took a step forward.
In an instant, the scene in front of him changed. The colorful road suddenly disappeared. He was standing on the edge of the cliff, with an abyss beneath his feet. Only the rainbow arch in front of him remained unchanged.
Click... A slight crack appeared on the rocky ground under your feet, and then turned into a small pile of fine stones, which fell to the bottom of the cliff. A gust of mountain wind whistled, blowing on your face, giving you a slight chill.
In the distance, the air is filled with mist, and birds like mountain eagles can be vaguely seen flying around.
Is this...an illusion? Xu You's face changed slightly. This illusion is so real.
If it was an illusion, then the colorful road should still be at his feet. The cliffs, mountain winds, and abyss were all fake. He just had to stride forward.
But looking at the dark abyss, this step is extremely difficult to take. It seems that as long as you step forward, you will fall.
Xu You didn't move, and instinctively wanted to fly over with the Escape Light.
He is a Soul Realm monk who can fly to the sky and escape from the earth. He can walk on cliffs, seas, forests, and high mountains and dangerous places as if he were on the ground.
"If you fly over with the Escape Light, it means that you are afraid of this abyss. If you cannot overcome this fear, you will be eliminated immediately." Xu Yunzi said slowly.
Xu You was shocked: "I can only walk over?"
"Of course, the road to refining one's mind is meant to be walked. Didn't you listen to what the Huo family disciple said? To overcome all the negative moods that arise in the practice of Taoism, if you are afraid, then there is a real abyss ahead. If you fall, you will be eliminated.
If you can overcome your fear, then there will be an illusion ahead. Whether you will be on a smooth road or fall into an abyss depends entirely on your heart. This is why I can only remind you but cannot help you." Xu Yunzi said.
"So that's it." Xu You murmured, "This is not a real abyss, it's just the fear in my heart. If I am afraid, I will really fall."
As he thought to himself, his heart gradually stabilized, and he no longer hesitated. He took a big step forward, and immediately felt an emptiness under his feet. However, he did not fall, but stood in the air.
Then, Xu You walked forward slowly, his heart gradually calming down. Although the feeling of emptiness under his feet was still there, he was always walking in the air and never fell.
"ah……"
"not good!"
"What the hell."
On the surrounding colorful roads, the frightened shouts of other monks kept coming, and then they fell off the colorful roads one after another.
Although the road to heart refining is the same for everyone, the fearful illusions they encounter are different. Some monks face a sea of fire, while some monks face a mountain of knives.
If you are fearful, you will be swallowed up by the sea of fire, defeated by the mountain of swords, and eliminated from the game.
On the square, there were competing monks who were trembling, withdrew their spiritual consciousness, stood up with pale faces, and then walked out of the square in great frustration under the orders of the Huo family guards.
Being eliminated from the Heart Refining Road, their journey to the competition was over. Although it may not have been more than a few dozen breaths, the reality was so cruel.
The guards of the Huo family patrolled back and forth with eager eyes. Once anyone was eliminated, they would be ordered to come out immediately to prevent disturbing the competition.
In just a moment, hundreds of Soul Realm monks have been eliminated, and this number is still increasing. In the eyes of the audience in the stands, those competing monks on the colorful road are falling like dumplings.
Xu You walked through the emptiness step by step, but his feet never felt like they were stepping on the solid ground. Moreover, the further he walked, the weaker his steps became, and the biting cold wind became stronger, causing his body to sway like a fallen leaf in the wind.
Fall into the abyss.
This is a manifestation of the growing fear.
To overcome this fearful state of mind, you cannot work hard for three minutes. Instead, you need to constantly adjust your state of mind to make your Tao mind stable and calm, so that you can walk on flat ground in the void.
Xu You took a deep breath. His Taoist heart was still firm and he could restrain his fear and keep moving forward. However, as his fear continued to amplify, his speed of progress also continued to slow down. He didn't know how he compared with other monks.
He looked to the left and right, and it turned out that the neighboring participating monks had already been eliminated, and were replaced by monks who could continue to go down.
However, he could not see other people's illusions. He could only see those monks who had not been eliminated, struggling to move forward on the colorful road, obviously experiencing the same fear as him.
Most people are standing on the same level as him, but some people have surpassed them and are walking in front, and the gap is widening little by little.
Since there were still many monks left and the roads were too wide, Xu You couldn't see clearly who was walking in front of them for a while. But he thought they should be the children of the five major families such as Huo Zhengyang and geniuses such as Ye Xiu and Zheng Feifei.
"Huo Jinglong kept saying that he would ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition, so that the participating monks could rest assured. In fact, from the beginning of the competition, it is impossible for everyone to stand on the same starting line."
"For the children of the five major families, they must have known about the Huo family's road to refining their hearts. Maybe many of them have walked through it. Even if they haven't walked through it, they may have received the news in advance and made sufficient preparations. If nothing else,
, just by this point, most of the casual cultivators who know nothing can be left behind."
"Although those participating monks from the fourth level and ** forces may not necessarily know how to take the path of heart refining, they must be prepared. They may possess spiritual treasures, possess secret techniques, or have other means. In short, they will
It is better than the casual cultivators who rely solely on a Taoist heart to pursue the path of heart refining."
"From this point of view, if you want to fight your way among the ten thousand strong and win the top three, a firm Taoist heart is not enough. If you want to defeat them, you must have extraordinary means."
"What extraordinary means do I have? The old guy can remind me at the critical moment in the illusion, which can be regarded as one of the extraordinary means, but it is not enough. With the help of the old guy, I may be able to break into the front group, but there is no
Be sure to win the top three.”
"But I have another extraordinary method, which is the Spiritual God Technique. The Spiritual God Technique itself can make my Taoist heart as calm as water. This is the greatest weapon on the road to refining the heart. In this way, I can compete with those who are the best.
Geniuses compete against each other."
"Of course, just because I have the Spiritual God Art, I can't think that I can just sit back and relax and take the road of heart training. In the final analysis, it still depends on whether my Taoist heart is really strong. This is also the best training for myself."
Xu You thought silently, and as the Spiritual God Art slowly and automatically moved, his heart instantly became as calm as water.
There was still the feeling of stepping on the ground under his feet, the abyss was still an abyss, and the fierce cold wind was still blowing in his face, blowing violently at his shaky body.
But in Xu You's eyes, the fear brought by the illusion can no longer affect his heart. No matter how real the feelings are, under the operation of the Spirit God Art, his heart will not be disturbed at all.
The Spiritual God Technique is his strongest Taoist heart.
Moreover, when he is absolutely calm, he can maximize the effectiveness of the path of refining the heart and experience the best effect of refining the Taoist heart. It is really killing two birds with one stone.
Soon, Xu You's pace, which had slowed down, began to speed up and he walked forward steadily.
"Well, boy, have you adapted quickly? It seems that you have overcome your fear." Xu Yunzi praised after seeing this.
Xu You smiled slightly: "This is not because you have taught me well."
"This is the truth." Xu Yunzi reminded without humility, "But boy, you can't take it lightly. There is not only one kind of illusion on the road to refining the mind, but it will change at any time, and will deepen as you continue to advance.
It may even create illusions that are both true and false based on your memory and state of mind. As long as your Taoist mind is slightly unstable, you may get lost in the illusion."
"I understand." Xu You's heart was shaken. It seems that the journey of refining one's heart has just begun, and the difficult test is still to come.
Screams of surprise rang out one after another around them, all of them were monks who had been eliminated from the competition.
They may have overcome their initial fear and took a few steps forward, but as the fearful illusion continued to deepen, their Taoist hearts soon became unable to suppress the growing fear, and eventually they were lost in the illusion and eliminated from the competition.
