As we all know, the cultivation of a warrior requires the unity of mind and body.
The more secluded and undisturbed a place is, the more suitable it is for practicing.
But this first assessment requires external means to influence everyone's cultivation.
The more upset a person is, the more difficult it is to enter concentration, and the worse a person's mood is, the harder it is to persevere.
Four of the fourteen core disciples voluntarily chose to give up, and the remaining ten all sat down cross-legged.
The next moment, the entire central square was filled with a hazy light.
The magic circle buzzed and vibrated, and some strange sounds were produced in the field. Above the heads of the ten people, a scene of nothingness appeared.
This scene of nothingness is both real and real, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
In the picture, there are giant land beasts crawling, running, and jumping, golden rocs spreading their wings and flying high, blocking out the sky and the sun, mountains and rivers collapsing, the earth toppling, and all living things fleeting.
There are even more terrifying mountains of corpses and seas of blood, stars colliding, and meteors falling.
These scenes are simulated by the operation of the magic circle, as if they really exist, and are even accompanied by real sound effects.
The inner disciples and outer disciples who were standing around and watching were extremely shocked when they saw this scene. Their hearts were shocked and their scalps were numb. They just looked at it from a distance and felt that their minds were affected. They wanted to go back and copy a hundred copies.
Only by practicing the Pure Heart Art can you calm down.
But the ten people in the field still looked calm.
Even if the outside world is shattered and everything reincarnates, I sit cross-legged and meditate without being affected by the outside world in the slightest.
After all, it was just the beginning, and everyone was extremely awake. Even the cultivation was not completely immersed in it. Therefore, everyone knew that if they could not keep their minds at this time, they might be the first to appear.
But soon, as time passed, the expressions of the ten people changed differently.
Although they closed their eyes tightly, everything that happened in the empty scene above them seemed to have entered their minds, taking turns playing out in everyone's minds, becoming more and more real.
"The magic circle will form an illusion, so under various interferences, some people will inevitably have hallucinations in their minds, and this hallucination will directly affect their practice."
In the pavilion, the white-haired six-star elder said with a smile.
Sure enough, as the expressions of the ten people changed, hallucinations appeared in their minds to varying degrees.
The pictures formed by these hallucinations made them surprised, scared, disgusted, joyful, happy...
After Zhou Yuan calmed down for a while, his expression gradually showed some subtle changes.
In his mind, a winding road stretching toward the sky appeared, with no end in sight, and he moved forward on this road.
There were many people walking with him around him.
They were all dressed in rags and were walking hard step by step, their eyes sometimes firm and sometimes confused.
Zhou Yuan, like them, walked like this, no matter day or night, no matter it was windy or raining.
This road leads to an unknown direction.
But it is the place that everyone yearns for, the goal and dream in everyone’s heart.
However, as we walked, there was no road ahead, blocked by an abyss. Some people were confused and rushed on their way, but accidentally fell into the abyss and were shattered to pieces.
Some people were disheartened and cried bitterly and chose to give up.
Of course, there are also people squatting next to the cliff and starting to think about ways to cross the abyss.
This road is the path of martial arts that everyone longs for. Everyone is working hard to move forward. However, facing the abyss, only a few people choose to calm down and think about ways to pass.
Zhou Yuan stood next to the cliff, his expression solemn and solemn, and he was also thinking about a solution.
Just like that, I don’t know how long has passed, maybe ten years, maybe a hundred years, or maybe a thousand years.
Zhou Yuan gradually became older. His eye sockets were sunken, his body was thin, and he had already fallen into deep despair.
Many people chose to give up at this moment and plunge into the abyss.
ah……
The entire valley echoed with frightened screams.
"No, this is an illusion."
Zhou Yuan was instantly awakened by the screams in the valley, and then his face returned to life at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to youth. His skinny body was immediately filled with flesh and blood, and his expression gradually returned to clarity.
The next moment, the picture in front of him collapsed instantly, and his consciousness returned to the real world.
Endless years have passed in the hallucination, but only a moment has passed in reality.
During this period, Zhou Yuan's expression also experienced violent ups and downs, including confusion and struggle. However, near the end, he suddenly sobered up and his expression returned to calm.
He closed his eyes tightly, sat cross-legged on the ground, and allowed the outside world to cry and howl, while his own body was as stable as a rock.
This scene immediately caused the expressions of the four star-marked elders sitting in the pavilion to change.
Their eyes were all focused on Zhou Yuan, showing a hint of surprise.
Elder Liuxing smoothed his pale hair, his eyes were filled with surprise, and he said, "What's going on? Faced with the magic circle illusion, this Zhou Yuan actually used the shortest time to get rid of the interference?"
"This shows that this child's state of mind is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he is a good child worth cultivating."
The gorgeous and beautiful woman wearing a five-star red robe also had beautiful eyes twinkling at this moment, and she smiled softly.
Elder Yixing narrowed his eyes and said with admiration: "This kid has only been here for more than two years, and he has grown so fast. He even swept through the inner sect before, went to the Demon Hunting Forest for two years, and was able to complete seven super tasks.
A high-level mission, and later on, killing Henry Zhang in the arena of life and death..."
This one-star elder listed all Zhou Yuan's deeds.
Hearing this, Elder Six Star's eyes suddenly lit up, "It turns out that Zhou Yuan in the rumors is this person. So many things have happened in the past two years, it is indeed legendary."
The five-star elder also said: "I heard that he has some grudges with Henry Zhang."
Several Xingbiao elders are immersed in cultivation on weekdays and rarely appear in public.
Although they had heard of Zhou Yuan, they had never seen him.
At this moment, the three elders were all talking about Zhou Yuan, and they all expressed their optimism towards Zhou Yuan.
Elder Xingbiao is the most authoritative elder in the entire Seven Stars Academy, with high cultivation and profound insights. The most important thing he pays most attention to on weekdays is cultivation.
Disciples who are in a good mood and have high qualifications are worthy of being recruited and trained.
However, the horse-faced elder on the side who had never spoken a word poured cold water on their heads.
The horse-faced elder flicked his sleeves embroidered with three stars and snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter if he's in a good mood. He doesn't have a martial arts seal. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to break through to the spirit transformation realm in the future."
This horse-faced three-star elder is Yun Zheng's master. He once targeted Zhou Yuan, so naturally he doesn't want to be optimistic about Zhou Yuan.
Hearing this, the expressions of the other three Xingbiao elders changed and they immediately looked at Zhou Yuan intently.
Only then did they see clearly that there was indeed nothing between Zhou Yuan's eyebrows.
"That's right. He doesn't have a martial arts seal. How could I have forgotten this?" The five-star elder shook his head slightly, with a trace of disappointment flashing in his beautiful eyes.
The pale-haired Six-Star Elder's eyes also calmed down.
All the elders slowly turned their attention away from Zhou Yuan.
In their eyes, without the martial arts seal, no matter how good you are, it is useless.
