Chapter 3 Ascending the Peak

Zhao Hui laughed: "Naturally, there are monsters. If there are no monsters, where will this piece of spiritual field come from. ”

Tang Zheng then remembered that Lingzhi also needed fertilizer. Thinking that the Nine Absolute Immortal Array is based on the ancient battlefield, and there are also a lot of living beings in it, which is to form its own cycle, and this Water Moon Cave Heavenly Self is no exception.

It's just that the monster is ignorant, but it won't be so obedient, so as not to run over and make a mess, it needs to be expelled by the disciples of Nongtang.

In fact, it may not be impossible to deal with these monsters, but in the hole of strengths, it is not a good thing to be bored. Nongtang disciples are also disciples, and they also need to be trained in battle, so they leave some monsters for Nongtang disciples, first, to hone their subordinates, and secondly, to give them something to do, and by the way, there is some extra money to fish.

That Zhao Hui said: "Most of the monsters in this peak are mostly used to accompany the spirit plant, but they are just naughty and playful, and there is not much harm. There is only one kind of monster, if the junior brother sees it, he has the strength to make a move, but it doesn't hurt to kill it. ”

"Excuse me. ”

Zhao Hui told him that he was a monster called the Funeral Wind Snake.

This kind of monster likes to live in groups, fast as lightning, and while eating spiritual plants, it is fortunate to take the initiative to attack people, and its temperament is cruel and murderous, and there are even disciples in the farm hall who are damaged because of this. This thing was not brought in from the outside by the Moon Washing Sect, but a monster that spontaneously arose in this special environment, and was never seen outside. Because it was born from the aura of heaven and earth, it was endless, even the power of the Purple Mansion could not be eliminated, and after a long time, it was simply left to the farm hall to deal with by itself, making it a daily homework.

If the disciples who entered the Water Moon Cave Heaven wanted to climb to the top of the mountain, they would inevitably have to pass this test.

"I see, dare to ask how to deal with these monsters?" Tang Zheng asked. These Nongtang disciples have been fighting against monsters for a long time, so they should be familiar with the burial wind snake.

Zhao Hui replied: "The main reason for this demon is that it is fast, numerous, and small. When the group rises, it is as vast as mist, and once it is killed, it will drill into your body, and when it enters the body, it will devour flesh and blood, and the evil is so powerful that it is tight. There is a kind of spiritual grass planted here 200 meters, called Xiangji Grass, and the Funeral Wind Snake will be very interested in your flesh and blood, although it will inevitably still attack, but it will be much weaker. So if you go up to 200 meters, don't do anything else, you must take a fragrant grass. However, this demon is mainly stored in high places, if the junior brother is not confident to go up to more than 500 meters, it is better not to take it. ”

"Thank you for the advice. Tang Zai opened the mustard seed bag on his body, took out a bottle of pill, stretched out his hand, and the pill flew towards Zhao Hui: "A little meaning, not a tribute." ”

Zhao Hui took it and took a look, his whole body trembled violently, and he blurted out: "Nine Turns Water Cloud Pill!"

This pill is one of the Seven Peerless Gate Nine Turns series, mainly aimed at kidney nourishment, and was obtained after trading with the demonized white lotus before Tang Zheng.

After he cultivated to the ninth turn, he didn't use up all the pills, and there was just one bottle left in this Nine Turns Water Cloud Pill, which was useless to him.

Zhao Hui cultivated the first vein of the Kidney Meridian, and during the Nine Revolutions, this Shui Yun Dan should be of great benefit to him, so Zhao Hui would be so excited when he saw this thing.

To him, this Dan is too important.

He didn't know how Tang Zheng saw that he was cultivating the exercises, and at this moment he bowed to Tang Zheng excitedly: "Thank you, junior brother!"

"You're welcome. Tang Zai took out another stack of rune papers, and with a flick of his hand, the countless rune papers had each floated to a farmer's disciple, and when they fell into their hands, everyone saw that it was a small rain talisman.

This small rain charm can spread clouds and rain and irrigate the land. Because of the perennial cultivation, most of the disciples of the Nongtang use the small rain cloth technique by themselves, otherwise it would be too luxurious.

The value of this small rain talisman sent by Tang Zheng is too low compared to the Nine Turns Water Cloud Pill, at best, it is for everyone to save some effort and finish the work earlier, but in mind, everyone has taken care of him, so that everyone looks at him a little higher and expresses their gratitude.

Tang Zheng continued to rest.

After this incident, I believe that the disciples of Nongtang have no opinion on him, and they will definitely be happy to tell him if they have any news.

After resting for a while, Tang Zheng continued to go up the mountain.

After passing the fifty-meter boundary monument, as soon as he took a step, Tang Zheng felt that his whole body was heavy, and his strength was more than double that of before.

Sure enough, 50 meters of this peak is a hurdle, and the further back it goes, the more difficult it becomes.

It is said that the first 100 meters are easy to pass, but with Tang Zheng's current strength, only this second 50 meters makes him feel very difficult.

If the first fifty meters, Tang Zheng took ten steps to rest for a while, then the second fifty-meter step, Tang Zheng had to sit down and rest for a while every five steps.

By the last twenty meters, Tang Zheng would run out of strength almost every two or three steps.

This made his climbing process extremely difficult, until the light of the Shuiyue Cave was getting darker, which meant that the night was coming, and Tang Zheng was able to walk in front of the second boundary monument, at this time he was exhausted and panting, and his whole body was weak.

He sat in front of the boundary monument and gasped, and Zhao Hui and other Nongtang disciples had already gathered around, clapping their hands and laughing: "Congratulations to the junior brother, I got a hundred meters on the first day, so it seems that there is a place for the junior disciple on the 500-meter hero platform." ”

The so-called 500-meter hero platform means that there is a stone platform at 500 meters of this mountain, and the younger disciples who can reach this place usually leave their names, realms and time here.

It is also a watershed between the elite and the mediocre, and only those who carve their names at 500 meters will be recognized as the true elite.

It is said that such as the bright night sky, Yan Changfeng, Feng Hongluan, and other mainstays of the Moon Washing Sect have all reached the 500-meter Hero Platform.

In addition, for example, on the first day, it is a small standard, but it is not included in the record, and it is only used as a reference. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hui and the others said that it would not be a problem for Tang to rob the Hero Stage.

At this moment, Tang Zheng shook his head with a smile: "The first 100 meters are so difficult, I really don't know how difficult it will be in the future." By the way, I'm going up 100 meters, so I can choose an elixir according to the rules, right?"

"That's nature. Zhao Hui said: "Senior Brother Tang has any needs, just tell us, I will choose the best elixir for Senior Brother." ”

This thousand-year-old field of the Water Moon Cave Heaven was planted by the disciples of the Nongtang, and the same elixir was also superior and inferior. Tang Zai was generous and polite, and the disciples of Nongtang naturally wanted to choose the best for him.

Tang Zai thought for a while and said, "Just choose Nan Yizi." ”

Zhao Hui said with a smile: "Nan Yizi calms the mind and calms the soul, but it is not beneficial to the blood, and it is beneficial to impact the realm and not to the present." It seems that the junior brother is going to make a difference this time. Wait a minute, I'll go and find medicine for my brother in person. ”

Saying that, Zhao Hui had already left, and when he came back after a while, there was already a freshly unearthed yam egg-like plant in his hand, which was exactly the Nan Yizi that Tang Zheng needed.

This Nan Yizi seems ordinary, but it is introverted, so the way to evaluate its quality is very simple, that is, the bigger the better.

The size of the common Nanyi seed is similar to that of a jujube, so it is named after the son, but the one in Zhao Hui's hand is a few points larger than the average potato, which shows that it is extraordinary.

At this moment, Zhao Hui had already said: "Nan Yizi, who is 1,800 years old, has no vacation, junior brother, congratulations." ”

A disciple of the Nongtang has already said loudly: "A few years ago, there was also a kid who entered the Water Moon Cave Heaven, and he was so proud that his nostrils were about to grow to the sky. It took a day and a half to go up to this 100 meters, and he also asked for a Nan Yizi, and kept saying that it must be 1,800 years long, and if he dared to do less, he would not spare us. ”

The other said, "Then we'll find one bigger than this for him." ”

"But it's a worm-eaten one. ”

"It's all empty!"

"That kid was so angry that his face turned blue. ”

"In the end, it didn't take more than 300 meters to get out of the way. ”

"Hahahaha!"

A group of people burst out laughing when you said something to me.

Tang Zai also shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, and took Nan Yizi and thanked him again and again.

The people of the farm hall could not stay for a long time when they got off work, so they said goodbye to Tang Zheng one by one.

In the entire Water Moon Cave Heaven, there was only one Tang Tribulation left.

Looking at the lonely mountains and empty fields, Tang Zheng couldn't help but sigh leisurely.

He did not continue to ascend, but sat down on the spot, meditated and breathed, and recuperated his body and mind.

During the day, it is the time to climb the peak.

At night, it's time for cultivation.

The more Shuiyue Peak goes to the back, the more difficult it is, if you rely purely on your own efforts, you won't be able to reach the top of the mountain for a hundred years.

What really makes people walk up the mountain, in addition to a strong will and solid physique, in fact, the most important thing is to improve themselves in the process of climbing.

According to the formation set up by the Water Moon Cave Heaven, after everyone enters, they will adjust their relative strength according to their strength, so that whether it is the Purple Mansion or the Extraordinary, the difficulties they face at the beginning are basically the same. The stronger the strength, the greater the strength encountered, the only difference is the arrangement of the will and the body.

But no matter how it was arranged, one thing was certain, that is, the obstacles set by the circle according to each person were so great that no one could go up to 500 meters.

This is the origin of the 500-meter hero platform.

The only way to break through this limit is to improve your own strength.

Because once the power of the circle is set, it will not change until the entrant leaves.

During this period, self-improvement becomes the biggest key to reaching the top.

This is also the biggest purpose of the design of the Water Moon Cave Heaven.

The difficulties themselves are insurmountable, and if you want to challenge the limit, you must first surpass yourself.

For this reason, the drugs selected every 100 meters are also extremely important for the challengers, because that is the only way for them to improve themselves.

The reason why Tang Zheng wanted to enter the Water Moon Cave Heaven before enlightenment was for this purpose.

If he can complete the enlightenment in the Water Moon Cave Heaven, it will not only be of great benefit to him, but will also bring great help to him to reach the top of the Water Moon Peak.

At this moment, Tang Zheng sat down, and officially began his first attempt to impact enlightenment.

The so-called enlightenment is actually to open up the sea of knowledge.

Those who know the sea are also the space of thinking.

Everyone has a space for thinking, but it never exists concretely.

To be precise, before enlightenment, everyone has thoughts, so they can also say that they have the sea of knowledge, but this kind of existence only stays at the level of cognition, the level of thinking, not the material level of objective existence.

Only after entering the period of enlightenment and officially opening up the sea of knowledge, can the sea of knowledge be the real sea of knowledge, and it is the real existence that can be seen by the naked eye.

The three stages of detachment, refinement, nine turns, and enlightenment respectively represent the three aspects of body, mind and mind, that is, the body is free from the mortal body, the internal organs are psychic, and the mind is condensed.

From this distinction, it can be seen that this is a process from the outside to the inside, and at the same time, it is also a process from the real to the virtual, and then from the virtual to the real.

Among them, it is easiest to get rid of the mortal body, and after a hundred refinements, you can directly transform from a mortal body into a spirit body.

At this time, it is called psychic rather than spiritual, that is to say, the nine-turn period is not to make people's internal organs become the same grade as the spirit, but only psychic. This is the reason why cultivators in the Nine Transformations can reunite when their internal organs are injured, but they cannot regenerate when they are completely destroyed. Because they haven't cultivated their spiritual organs in the true sense of the word.

When it comes to enlightenment, it's even different.

Being able to open up the sea of knowledge is considered a success, and it is not even to the point of connecting to the spirit, it belongs to the Tianxin Purple Mansion to do.

Even so, the difficulty of enlightenment is several times that of the ninth turn, and it is a small level in itself, and there is even a risk of failure.

This risk of failure does not mean that it does not impact the failure of success, but that it is a failure that eats oneself after failure, and the meaning is completely different. Although there is no mortality rate in the failure of the impact enlightenment, the cost of one failure and one soul injury is also not small.

If the soul is wounded too severely, the potential will be exhausted and the future will be cut off.

So it's not a joke to say that there are many difficulties on the fairy road. Everyone knows that the road can't get narrower and narrower, but no one can control their own path. Just like now, Tang Zheng didn't dare to say that he would succeed in impacting enlightenment.

And as long as he fails, then the road to the future will inevitably be narrower.

At this moment, Tang Zheng sat on the ground, his hands on his knees, and his mind had sunk into his mind.

The so-called Tianguan is to open up a place to know the sea.

It was like a dark void, gray and invisible.

For people who normally impact enlightenment, what they have to do is actually very simple, that is, to condense their own thoughts into it, control the aura through guò thoughts, and open up a space that can accommodate their own consciousness, which is to recognize the sea. When this step is completed, the mind is no longer an idea, but relies on the aura to transform into a tangible thing, that is, the spiritual consciousness.

In this process, the cultivator must be careful, because the opening up of the sea of consciousness is done directly through the soul level, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the devouring of one's own body.

Although the probability of this kind of backlash is not very great after getting acquainted with it, there are still many examples of failure to impact enlightenment every year, and some even impact themselves into idiots.

Even if he didn't consider such an extreme example, Tang Zheng felt a lot of pressure at the thought that the soul trauma caused by a failure might narrow his future path and shrink his potential.

The impact method was already familiar, and the preparation had already been in place, but at the beginning, Tang Zheng had a feeling of gain and loss, which made him unable to make up his mind.

What if it fails?

What if it fails?

What if it fails?

The voice kept echoing in his head, like a demon in his heart, disturbing him and preventing him from focusing.

The mental method of condensing the mind stayed at the last critical step, and he didn't dare to take a step, and it was only after a long time that Tang Zheng sighed and let go of his hands.

He gave up the shock.

At this moment, his mentality is no longer suitable for impacting enlightenment at all, if he forcibly impacts, then his failure rate is not 20%, but 100%.

At this time, Tang Zheng really understood the various mentalities of those Heavenly Heart Peak facing the Purple Mansion Realm.

Many of them have already reached the step of impact, but they have always stayed in that realm, not because they are incapable, but because many of them are also afraid.

And when this fear arises, failure becomes inevitable.

Because of this, characters like Feng Hongluan and Yan Changfeng are as strong as Feng Hongluan, and they don't dare to impact the Purple Mansion, and that kind of mentality can be imagined.

In contrast, the courage and determination of the bright night sky to impact the Purple Mansion are even more valuable.

No wonder there are many heroes in the world, but there are only so few people in Zifu after all, after all, most people are afraid of death.

However, when I talk about being born and dying countless times, I am not a person who is afraid of death.

If you are not even afraid of death, why should you be afraid of this small setback and failure?

Tang Zheng couldn't find an answer for a while, so he thought about it with his eyes.

After a long while, he suddenly raised his head and laughed: "I see! What I am afraid of is not death, but hopelessness!"

For Tang Zheng, death was never terrible, and since he swore to destroy the Heavenly God Palace, he knew that only one side between him and the Heavenly God Palace could live. Because of this, he tried his best to deal with the Heavenly God Palace, even at the expense of exposing himself again.

But living without hope saddened him more than killing him.

The soul is affected by the decline of the potential of the wound zào, the narrowing of the road ahead, etc., which may be a small loss to others, but to him it is a major thing that he hopes to cut off.

Especially now that he has a soul and two bodies, he has two lives, and he still only has one soul.

The main body and the doppelganger are like left and right hands to him, and there is no difference.

Because of this, hurting his soul is more terrifying than hurting his body.

"Since death scares me more than hope, it is easier to do. Thinking of this, Tang Zheng's eyes lit up with a glimmer of light.

He looked back at the top of Shuiyue Peak, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

He didn't cultivate anymore, but continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.

He already has a new plan.
