"Yes, you are the first person to break through the world of mortals."
Lin Fan had just regained consciousness when he heard a faint voice coming from his ear.
He was startled and looked up.
The sword master was suspended in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
"senior."
Lin Fan quickly stood up and cupped his fists towards the Sword Master.
At this time, he already understood everything.
Everything I experienced just now was all hallucinations, or dreams. In short, they were all illusory, but in terms of feeling, they were no different from the real world, as if they were actually everything I had experienced.
And what happened was exactly the life that Lin Fan longed for and yearned for deep down in his heart.
So even he didn't notice anything unusual for a while.
He has lived in a dream for more than ten years!
For ten years, I dreamed that my two children would grow up slowly, get married and have children, and blossom.
The happiest life is this.
"Boy, it's not bad that you can withdraw from the trial of the mortal world so quickly." The sword master said lightly: "The trial of the mortal world points directly to what you desire most deep in your heart. If you are not determined enough, you will sink into it.
, maybe I won’t be able to break free for eternity.”
Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but sweat broke out on his back.
The life in the world of trials was indeed so attractive that he almost became addicted to it and could not escape.
"Senior, others..." Lin Fan looked at the Sword Master with a questioning look on his face.
The sword master raised his chin.
Lin Fan turned around and looked.
There are three circular light curtains next to it, suspended in the air.
In each light curtain, there is a scene, and the protagonists are Lin Hui, Lin Sheng and Lin Shou.
Their scenes are all different, and they are all worlds generated based on what each person desires most deep in their heart.
Lin Hui seemed to have become an emperor, with support from the front and back, possessing supreme power and commanding thousands of miles of land.
Lin Sheng became the best swordsman in the world. He was the master of swordsmanship, defeated countless strong men, and achieved immortal fame.
As for Lin Shou... he was addicted to Wenwen Village, drinking and having fun all day long, and was extravagant and lewd.
The voice of the sword master came: "You see, in the mortal trial, the desires of these three little guys were completely exposed."
"Everyone has desires in their heart. This is not a bad thing, but the difference is whether you are controlled by desires and controlled by desires, or whether you can control desires in turn."
"Only with desire can we have the motivation to improve and progress. However, if we cannot get rid of the control of desire, people will sink and fall sooner or later. Just like the three of them, it seems that their desire is satisfied, but in fact, it has become desire unintentionally.
slave."
"And you..."
The sword master looked at Lin Fan, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and continued: "You pursue your desires, but you have not lost your true heart. You can awaken so quickly from the dream created by the trial of the mortal world. Your mind is better than
I think stronger."
Lin Fan nodded slowly.
There seems to be some enlightenment in my heart.
The Sword Master was worthy of being a master of swordsmanship in the Immortal Ancient Era. His casual words seemed to contain the most profound principles. Lin Fan benefited a lot from talking with him.
"Your swordsmanship qualifications..."
The sword master looked deeply at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan suddenly became nervous instinctively.
"Sword gall? I didn't expect you to have such a thing... Your sword will is pretty good, complex but not complicated, numerous but not chaotic. It seems that you are a good prospect." The sword master said lightly.
"Thank you, senior." Lin Fan said humbly.
Then he asked: "Then the three of them..."
The sword master slowly stroked his beard and said: "Wait a little longer, if they still can't get out of the world of mortal trials on their own...that's all, I will release them then."
Lin Fan was silent.
Time passes, I don’t know how long it has passed.
Suddenly, the space was distorted, and then a figure fell out.
As soon as he landed, he quickly turned over, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.
It turned out to be Lin Sheng.
He passed the test of the world of mortals.
But Lin Hui and Lin Shou never succeeded.
In the end, the Sword Master broke through the dream of the Red Dust Trial Structure from the outside and rescued the two.
However, the sword master's action meant that they failed the third test and naturally lost the qualification to compete for inheritance.
"You two can leave on your own."
The sword master left a word, then waved his arm and disappeared with Lin Fan and Lin Sheng.
Lin Hui and Lin Shou looked at each other, both unwilling to do so, but they had no other choice.
The heart is not strong enough and the will is not firm enough, that's it.
This third test tests your will!
If they fail in this aspect, they cannot blame others for being eliminated.
the other side.
The Sword Master brought Lin Fan and Lin Sheng to the original place.
That mysterious mountain top.
The sword master clasped his hands behind his back, turned his back to Lin Fan and the two of them, and faced the endless sea of clouds in front of him, like a sculpture, motionless.
Lin Fan and the other two didn't dare to disturb them.
After a while.
The sword master spoke: "I only have one inheritance, which means that one of you two has to eliminate one."
"Senior, please feel free to ask questions." Lin Sheng took a step forward, his eyes bright and high-spirited.
He seems quite confident in himself.
Lin Fan did not speak, but looked directly at the Sword Master.
The sword master turned his head and said slowly: "My sword skills are no longer limited to objects. In my hands, any tree, tree, bamboo, or stone can be used as a sword. What do you two think?"
Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows and said: "The seniors understand the art of swordsmanship, and the juniors admire them greatly. In the eyes of the juniors, true swordsmanship should not be hindered or manifested by external objects."
"Sword, what is a sword? As long as you have a sword in your heart, everything can be a sword. You don't have to stick to the three-foot green peak. Otherwise, the way of swordsmanship will become narrow."
"Although this junior is not talented, he still understands what the senior said, which is the true solution to the way of swordsmanship! This junior is not yet able to do this, but I believe that I can do it!"
"I will definitely be able to pass on the legacy of my predecessors and carry it forward, so that the reputation of the Sword Master will once again be resounding throughout the world!"
After saying that, Lin Sheng looked at the Sword Master with burning eyes, a faint smile on his face, and seemed to be extremely satisfied with what he just said.
The sword master nodded slowly, then looked at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan pondered for a moment, seemingly a little entangled, but finally spoke: "Junior... I don't agree with that."
"oh?"
The sword master's eyes narrowed slightly, and the light in his eyes flickered.
Lin Sheng next to him looked calm on the outside, but was already laughing wildly on the inside.
Lin Fan, Lin Fan, Tianhu's cards can be beaten to a pulp by you. This time, it seems that I am destined to have the last laugh!
"The so-called grass, wood, bamboo and stone can all be used as swords. After all, they are still stagnant in things." Lin Fan took a long breath and said slowly: "But I was thinking, why do we have to pursue not being stagnant in things? Could it be that the so-called non-stuck in things?
Regarding things, is it a higher way of swordsmanship?"
"Sword cultivation, the sword is everything, the sword is the foundation. If it is separated from the sword, it is not enough to be called sword cultivation."
"Every tree, tree, bamboo, or stone can be used as a sword. It seems to be transcendent, but in reality it is inferior."
"Let me ask, if two sword cultivators of the same level and similar strength compete against each other, one wields a peerless divine sword and the other wields a dead branch as a sword, what will be the outcome?"
"In the eyes of this junior, sword cultivation should be based on the sword. No matter what the situation, no matter how high you reach, you can never abandon the sword in your hand."
"Those who abandon the sword have lost their identity as sword cultivators!"
