Above the ground, there are flames flying everywhere. If you are not careful, you will step on an eye of fire. With a "bang...", from below the ground, flames about ten feet high will suddenly rise, burning people. His whole body was burnt black and he was in a miserable state.
Ye Bai cursed loudly, but when he raised his head, no one could be seen. It seemed that this place was a completely enclosed fire cave, and the only way to exit was to move forward.
Countless fiery red crystals are spread on the ground, reddened by the flames underground. On the four walls of the cave, various deep red and even purple crystals emerge slantingly, exuding a fiery aura. These are all high-quality crystals. The fire crystals of the highest level are the best material for refining weapons, tempting people to jump over the river of flames and rush to pick them.
But Ye Bai didn't even look at them. He walked straight past them. The flames about ten feet high were licking his skin. He was covered in hot sweat, smoking, and thirsty. He wanted to take a sip of the magma underground, but Ye Bai was miserable. It was so painful that I endured it.
He kept walking forward and never looked back. At this moment, the old man's voice came: "How is it? How does this fire cave taste? This is the first step to temper your willpower. As long as you shout, I will give up." , you will come back to the top. When you feel that you can't hold on, you just need to shout, "I give up," and you will automatically get rid of that burning feeling. Come back to the top. Do you want to shout? Just shout, shout. After that, you won’t have to suffer like this.”
The old man could not help but torture him with difficulties and seduce him with benefits, but Ye Bai endured it bitterly. He did not respond. He could only hear sounds above his head, but no one could be seen. Everything was red. He knew that the old man They were watching him all the time, but he had no time to reply, but he didn't shout the three words "I give up" either.
He still kept moving forward.
The old man's voice shouted several times, but when he saw that he was unmoved, he gradually disappeared and seemed to have given up.
Ye Bai continued to walk forward, and suddenly, a fire of ten feet high appeared from the ground. Ye Bai walked barefoot among the fire, listening to the "sizzling" sound of the fire burning the soles of his feet. ..." There was a sound, and there was even a burning smell. The heart-wrenching sting made people want to die. Ye Bai's face was distorted. Just when he gave up, the old man's voice came again, sweet and seductive: "How about it? , give up, this pain is not something you can bear, there is still a long way to go, maybe you will not reach the end at all, maybe this is an endless road, there is no need for you to endure these hardships, maybe in the end all All your suffering is just in vain, you will faint on the way, why not give up now, come up, say I give up, don't keep walking."
This is the second temptation.
Ye Bai's heart moved slightly, but he remained determined. He still walked forward without answering the old man's words.
The old man's voice disappeared again.
Go forward again.
The surrounding temperature suddenly increased. Every breath was so difficult, but when it was breathed into the mouth, it was so hot, as if the whole body of the person was roasted, and there seemed to be an aroma that made people unbearable. After taking a bite, Ye Bai's whole body turned black, but he gritted his teeth and kept moving forward.
This time the old man's voice did not come.
Keep going.
In the middle of the road, faults began to appear one by one. The normal ground beneath your feet may collapse at any time. This will test people's sense of crisis. They must maintain their peak state at all times. Once they find something wrong, jump away immediately. .
However, this consumes the most mental energy, as well as physical strength.
The old man's voice came again, full of warmth and confidence. He said: "Come up, you passed the test, I will still teach you the sword formation, you don't need to go to the entrance of the cave, come up Come on, say you give up, and you will escape from this endless predicament and automatically return to the ground without suffering those sins. Say you give up, come up above, and I will teach you the sword formation!"
Ye Bai ignored it.
He steeled his bones and stubborn back, gritted his teeth and persisted, walking further forward.
This is deception.
After walking for a while, the fault disappeared, but on the fire walls on all sides, countless tiny fire snakes began to emerge and pounce on Ye Bai. They turned from thin to thick, from few to many, and in the end they were almost densely packed. If he accidentally gets hit by these fire snakes, with Ye Bai's current physical strength, he is afraid that he will immediately fall into the endless river of magma and fire below, with no bones left. He tried hard to dodge, dodge, and relied on him for many years. With the experience brought by living in the jungle, I finally got through this most difficult period.
The old man's voice never came again.
After walking for a while, fire snakes and faults appeared together. Ye Bai's will was blurred. He was feeling dizzy. He still had some strength left. He had lost all his sweat and exhausted all his physical strength. The only thing that kept him moving forward was instinct.
He relied on instinct and moved forward step by step, insisting on not giving up.
Behind him, the flames from the center of the earth rose up, as high as half a man, and burned him until he was staggering, but he survived.
Behind him, fire snakes danced wildly, forming fire dragons, flying in the aisle. He walked past without fear or avoidance.
My heart is as solid as a rock, and nothing can move or move. Just like that, step by step, he only knows how to move forward. Gradually, light appears in front of his eyes, and a purple hole appears in front of him, but he can't see it at all. , he still just walked straight over and continued to move forward, without even noticing that this was the exit of the fire cave.
There was no trace of strength left in his body, and he didn't even have the ability to think.
As soon as he came out of the cave, a cold wind blew in. The body that had been holding on for so long suddenly tilted and was about to fall to the ground. At this moment, an old and warm body hugged his body that was about to fall.
In the dream, he experienced endless illusions, but he did not give up. He did not know how much time passed. He only knew that suddenly, a drop of cold liquid dropped from his dry body, and then he was surrounded by the entire cold liquid. Suddenly, like a traveler who has been thirsty for many years, absorbing nutrients quickly, he quickly absorbed the liquid. In the dream, his body's functions gradually recovered, and his originally lifeless body began to gradually become alive.
Then, after an unknown amount of time passed, he opened his eyes, and then saw the purple space and the ethereal old man.
The old man continued slightly, looked at him and said, "Congratulations, child, you have walked through the fire cave and passed the first level test of willpower."
Then, all the memories seemed to surge towards him, drowning him. Suddenly, everything he had experienced in the past few days appeared in his mind, and he recalled everything.
He also smiled at the old man, a happy smile.
The old man said to him: "To practice the sword formation, you have to go through hardships that ordinary people cannot touch, the disaster of getting lost, and the danger of exploding your body. Therefore, the will of the person who is required to practice the sword is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. My child, you don't have it." it disappointed me."
"On that road, I laid out deceptions, temptations, traps, and hardships for you... You went through them one by one. I asked you to come up. That was the temptation. I said I would interrupt your test and pass you the sword directly. Formation is deception, the surface movement is a trap, and the high temperature is suffering. People with weak willpower cannot stay in that kind of environment for a moment. When they hear me say that they will automatically return as soon as they give up. On the ground, 90% of the 10% will not persist. When I say that the 10% of people who persist will pass the assessment, 90% of the 10% will be eliminated. In the end, 10% of the people will not be able to persist. They will fall on the road to disaster. Only the last one in a thousand people can completely walk out of this road of flames and thorns and return to the ground. You are the only one who has been able to walk out of this road for thousands of years, including me. The third person!"
"I'm surprised by you. Your will is strong and strong, even beyond my imagination."
Having said this, he smiled at Ye Baixing with unabashed admiration.
"But..." Suddenly, the old man's expression became serious again. Looking at Ye Bai's face, he solemnly said: "This is just the beginning. The fire cave trial is just the first step in the cultivation of willpower. Next, if you want to reach the level of Integrity, you will have to endure more and heavier sufferings. People who survive the first level often fail to survive the ninth level. You still have time to regret it now!"
Ye Bai looked at the old man with firm eyes and an indomitable stubbornness: "I might not have had much interest in this sword formation before, but this trip to the fire cave made me understand a lot. Master , I can tell you now, even if it means death..."
He said word for word with great determination: "I will never regret it!"
