The verdant valley seemed to be a foreign land isolated from the world. The lake water reflected the high Snow-capped Peak. The Tianqi Mountain outside the valley was windy and snowy, and the temperature dropped day by day. But it was still relatively warm here, which was very strange.
Ning Que and Mo Shanshan did not find the existence of hot springs or geothermal heat, so they could only attribute this unusual phenomenon to the function of the tactical array. They could not help feeling shocked that a big tactical array could cover the sky and the earth against the season. They were even more certain that the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine, which had not appeared for decades, was in the lake in front of them.
According to Prince Long Qing, it was not yet time for the Mountain Gate to open. The two of them did not know when it would open. Thinking that there would be a strange phenomenon, they could only wait quietly and do what they had to do at the same time.
Ning Que walked to a big stone by the lake and sat down. He looked at the strange scaleless fish swimming in the clear lake water. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "How can I break the realm?"
This was a very direct question, and also a very stupid one. It was a question that all the Grand Cultivators in the world could not answer. Because on the long road of cultivation, passers-by saw different scenery along the way. How could there be a ready-made answer?
If breaking the realm could be answered, then the Headmaster of the Academy must be the best person to answer this question. Didn't it mean that the Senior Brothers and Sisters on the Second floor of the Academy should have broken the Five States long ago?
Ning Que was very clear that he would inevitably encounter mountains one after another on the road of cultivation. He had long been aware of this and waited calmly. However, he had been standing outside the Dongxuan Gate for several months without any progress. Now because of the bet with Prince Long Qing, he suddenly had a very heavy time pressure, so he subconsciously asked.
Mo Shanshan looked at him and said softly, "This kind of question can only be answered by you."
Ning Que put his hand into the slightly cold lake water and scared away a few fish. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think the most important thing is that you must have the desire to break the realm. If you don't even think about it, the threshold will definitely be higher. Then you must have confidence. You must believe that you can break the realm."
As for cultivation, his experience was somewhat unusual. Thanks to the Vermilion Bird Black Umbrella and the precious pill from the Unknown Place, he did not encounter any threshold at all. Inexplicably, he directly and inexplicably went from the Initial Enlightenment to the Perception and then to the No Doubts State, and passed the most difficult point of virtual and real. However, in the summer, he once entered into Talisman Taoism by observing the rain, so he had some experience.
Now looking at the threshold of the Seethrough realm, his desire to break the realm was very strong. The great pressure brought to him by Prince Long Qing and time had all turned into motivation. At this moment, how could he still care about the state of mind?
However, when he looked at the fish swimming freely in the distance in the clear lake water, at the fish nearby that were still a bit nervous after being scared away by him, he knew very well what he lacked the most right now.
Previously, when he said to Mo Shanshan that he would not lose, and the following two sentences about the Daming Lake, he seemed to be full of confidence. But in fact, that was just to strengthen his confidence, not to say that he already had the confidence. Facing the West-Hill Divine Son who had stood outside the Knowing Destiny threshold for many years, how could he really have the confidence?
What's more, breaking the realm was too mysterious. It was like the wind and snow in the Wilderness — it came without saying. Even if it was a blue sky with the scorching sun overhead, a gust of wind might cause snowflakes to fall. Even if it was not said to come, it really wouldn't. Even if the sky was full of lead clouds and the water was bitterly cold, it might still not snow for several months.
Mo Shanshan walked to the stone and followed his gaze to the lake. She said, "You don't have the confidence?"
"I always thought that I was a genius. It seemed that there was nothing I couldn't learn. Even though I later found that I didn't have the aptitude for cultivation, I still felt that I was much more vigorous than others. Do you know? Last year, I was still thinking about how to kill a powerhouse in the Seethrough realm with three knives. "
Ning Que looked at her and said seriously, "Later on, it was smooth sailing on the road of cultivation, including Talisman Taoism. My master and many people thought that I was a genius. However, my confidence became weaker because I saw many real geniuses in cultivation, including you."
Mo Shanshan's eyelashes trembled slightly. She didn't know what to say.
Eldest Brother and Second Brother were the real cultivation geniuses. Chen Pipi, who was about the same age as her but had already entered the Knowing Destiny State, was the real genius. Compared with these geniuses, what was the Tao Addict, Ye Hongyu? What was Prince Long Qing? What was she?
"What's more, there was the Unknown Place. When I thought that the World Wayfarers coming from there were all Grand Cultivators in the Knowing Destiny State, I felt uncomfortable all over and felt that it was too boring."
Mo Shanshan raised her head and looked at him seriously. She said, "Then how can I make you more confident?"
Ning Que said seriously, "I need praise."
Even if the Calligraphy Addict blushed even more, she really couldn't praise him in front of him. However, at this time, she finally confirmed that the guy in front of her really didn't know anything, so she chose another way.
She looked at Ning Que and sighed. "Do you know what the Unknown Place is in the world?"
Ning Que wiped the water on his hands on his chest and laughed. "Since it is the Unknown Place, how can I know?"
She shook her head and said, "The Unknown Place consists of an abbey, a temple, a gate … and the Second Floor. The abbey is the Zhishou Abbey, the temple is the Xuankong Temple, the gate is the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine, and the Second Floor is naturally the Second Floor of the Academy. "
Ning Que stared at her face and was completely shocked and speechless.
After a long time, he suppressed the chaotic emotions in his mind and shouted with a trace of embarrassment and anger, "Last time you told me that it was a mysterious place outside the secular world. Few people can see these places with their own eyes. Even those who have been there won't talk about it after coming out. That's why it is called the Unknown Place. But the Academy … is in the south of Chang 'an City. Everyone knows where it is, so how can it be unknown? "
"The Second Floor of the Academy rarely appears in the world. Of course, compared to the Zhishou Abbey in the mountains and the Xuankong Temple in the Wilderness, it is indeed in the secular world."
Mo Shanshan looked at him and said, "There is a saying in the world that the joys and sorrows of the secular world and the outside world are never connected. If they can connect, they will be sages."
She probably thought of the sigh that her teacher had once revealed and the legend of that person in the cultivation world. She looked slightly serious and continued, "If they can connect, they will be sages. Although the Elder of the Lanke Temple once said that the Headmaster of the Academy would never admit that he is a sage, the Second Floor of the Academy is of course the land of sages."
She stared into his eyes and continued, "You come from the Second Floor of the Academy, the only land of sages in the world. Then no one is qualified to affect your confidence. Why are you not confident? "
Ning Que said in disbelief, "According to what you said, I am the legendary World Wayfarer."
Mo Shanshan looked at him and nodded. Then she frowned and added seriously, "Of course, the legendary World Wayfarers are not as weak as you."
Ning Que, who was hurt by the simple girl again, did not refute this time because he had not completely gotten rid of the shock and shame. He thought of the arrogant words that he had said to the World Wayfarer and realized that he had been scolded … He thought of the time when he and Sangsang went to the West City of Chang 'an to win money from the gambling house and won it from him. He could not help but feel ashamed that he had stepped into two stinky gutters.
The Second Floor of the Academy was the Unknown Place, and he was a World Wayfarer? It would make sense if the World Wayfarers of the Academy in the past were as strong and powerful as Second Brother. However, the arrogant man who carried the gavel and those mysterious Senior Brothers and Sisters in the back of the mountain did not look like Otherworldly Sublime Beings at all.
Mo Shanshan looked at him and asked, "Do you still have confidence after knowing these things?"
Ning Que woke up and said happily, "I am the World Wayfarer of the Academy. I am much stronger than Prince Long Qing, the Divine Son of West-Hill, in terms of background, temperament, and style. Why don't I have the confidence to trample him to death?"
Mo Shanshan did not expect that his confidence came from this. She could not help but fall silent. After a moment, she said softly, "When breaking the realm, you need not only desire and confidence, but also opportunity. When I was 14, I received a volume of scripture written by my teacher and understood the mystery of Heaven and Earth after reading it for half a night. I hope you can find your opportunity as soon as possible."
Ning Que thought of what Master Huang Yang had taught him in the Wanyan Tower and nodded.
However, opportunity was something that could only be found by chance. Just like the rain in summer, if it had fallen earlier or later, he might not have known it. Just like the lake water overflowing the willow embankment, the lake water must be full. However, if it wanted to overflow the long embankment without spreading into a flood, it needed other reasons.
Ning Que was neither a typical Tang nor a typical cultivator. He was not good at sitting and discussing Tao or understanding Tao. His cultivation, like his survival, was always full of perseverance and ruthlessness.
It was the same since he was a child when he meditated hard. It was the same after he entered the Academy and entered the old library. Later, he understood that life was like a problem and all kinds of infatuation. He was still used to solving problems to cultivate, but it was no longer that hard.
Looking at the looming threshold of Seethrough at the bottom of the clear lake, he started his cultivation again.
If he did not know how to break it, then he would see through it.
He looked at the lake, the twilight haze, and the reflected stars in the night sky.
He broke a willow branch and found a fish hook from his luggage. He hung a few pieces of dried meat given by the Desolate women on it and hung it into the calm lake. It disturbed the stars and woke up the fish swimming under the lake rocks. Then he started fishing.
The willow branch by the Daming Lake was extremely tough and suitable for fishing, perhaps because it had been tempered for thousands of years by the Aura of Heaven and Earth drawn by the Front Gate Tactical Array of the Devil's Doctrine.
The willow branch by the Daming Lake rose and fell. After a while, some fish swallowed the bait and were hooked.
He did not pick up the rod, but just quietly held the willow branch, as if holding the most important thing in his life.
The fish forcibly broke free from the hook and ran away in panic, splashing the water with a very light blood color.
The willow branch had no bait or hook and was quietly hanging in the water. Ning Que just sat on the rocks by the lake for the whole night. For him at this time, the fish in the lake were like the opportunity he needed to break the realm.
Those who were willing to take the bait, and those who were unwilling, he would not force them.
