"Good guts!"
In the face of this world-changing scene, Liu Xian just blandly said these three words, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.
The next moment, the purple-blue lightning snake roared and pounced, but when it was ten meters away from Liu Xian's body, it collapsed with a loud bang, without making any sound.
At this time, Wisdom Sect's Vice Sect Leader Ye Chuchen, who was watching this fight from afar, involuntarily sucked in a mouthful of cold air.
Although the purple-blue lightning that Wang Lu attracted was not a divine tribulation, its power could not be underestimated! Although Wang Lu himself was only a Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, the one who attracted the lightning just now was not Wang Lu himself, but rather Wang Lu, who connected the entire new city through the altar under his feet, and then used the new city to drive the surrounding spiritual energy along the Feng Shui Line, which suddenly erupted with energy.
The power contained in that purple-blue lightning was enough to turn Ye Chuchen into a puff of smoke ten times. In front of that lightning, a Xudan Stage cultivator was as fragile as a mortal. According to Ye Chuchen's conjecture, this strike was so fierce, and Wang Lu launched it in a silent and unexpected manner. Even if the opponent was a Yuanying Stage cultivator, he would still be flustered, right?
However, in fact, Liu Xian didn't even need to lift a finger. Just by relying on his natural breathing of the surrounding spiritual energy, he was able to disintegrate the lightning.
Although it was the same breathing of the surrounding spiritual energy, a Yuanying Stage cultivator was far beyond the imagination of a Xudan Stage cultivator. When a cultivator reached the Yuanying Stage, they would no longer be restricted by the amount of spiritual energy they breathed, because the magical power in their Jade Mansion was self-generated and endless. What cultivators cared more about was the quality of the breathing, which emphasized the fine control of the spiritual energy. For Liu Xian, the ten meters of space around him was almost an absolute domain, completely under his control. Although the purple-blue lightning was powerful, it was, after all, Wang Lu's trick. Without the condensation of primordial spirit, for Liu Xian, it was just an ownerless scattered spiritual energy, which could be disintegrated in a single breath.
However, for Wang Lu's audacity to gain the upper hand by a show of strength, Liu Xian secretly nodded. To be able to maintain the desire to fight back in adversity or even desperate situation was not only a matter of courage, but also the key to turning defeat into victory!
Wang Lu, this child's temperament was really fierce. Moreover, although that purple-blue lightning could not threaten him, it was a miracle that he could receive it with his Qi Cultivating Stage — even if it was built with the support of a new city!
After the lightning dissipated, Liu Xian was not even in a hurry to make his move. Instead, he looked at Wang Lu with an appreciative gaze.
However, this time, it was Wang Lu's turn to be indifferent. Since the first move was ineffective, he immediately followed up with the next move. This time, Wang Lu's action was even bigger. His ten fingers pointed at the ten pillars on the altar and moved back and forth, up and down. These ten pillars were the center of the entire new city. Under the command of Wang Lu, they drove the entire new city to make a rumbling sound. Hundreds of buildings in the city began to change their positions, looking for their own position in the grand picture formed by the combination of the Spirit Gathering Array and the Elemental Convergence Array.
At the same time, the sky that turned dark after receiving the purple-blue lightning suddenly lit up. It was not that the night had dissipated, but that countless stars were lit up in the night, bright like a galaxy!
In the distance, Ye Chuchen once again exclaimed. That was his Stellar Glint … In the hands of Wang Lu, relying on the power of the new city and the Feng Shui line, it unexpectedly evolved into a galaxy!
The next moment, the galaxy fell. With a wave of his hand, Wang Lu plucked hundreds and thousands of Stellar Glints, which formed a dazzling meteor shower that bombarded Liu Xian.
The corner of Liu Xian's mouth slightly curled up.
The power of the Falling Galaxy might not be much stronger than the purple-green thunder earlier, but it was undoubtedly more powerful. Even with the help of the Dharma Array, ordinary Qi cultivators would never be able to control such a grand scene!
Of course, the disciples of the Lingjian School were doomed to not be compared with the common cultivators. However, Wang Lu's Non-Phase Method was well-known for its weak offense but strong defense. It was not easy for him to have such a scene … although it seemed like he was deliberately showing off.
Unfortunately, although the scene that Wang Lu painstakingly created was gorgeous and extraordinary, it had no practical significance. Liu Xian still did not move a finger. Just by using his Yuanying to breathe out the spiritual energy, the galaxy melted and the curtain of night receded.
After this move, Liu Xian finally moved.
"Okay, I've seen enough. Take this sword."
The next moment, an invisible sword penetrated the dozens of layers of defense that Wang Lu carefully arranged and gently touched Wang Lu's forehead.
It was Liu Xian's Sword of Truth.
The essence of the Sword of Truth was the sword of primordial spirit. When it was launched, Liu Xian only needed to circulate his primordial spirit, and there would not be any fluctuation of magical power. In terms of being silent, it was even more difficult to guard against than Wang Lu's purple-blue lightning. Although Wang Lu and the Wisdom Sect's Elders had spent a lot of effort, in the end, they could not figure out the means of a Yuanying Stage cultivator. In front of Liu Xian, the defensive line that they arranged was vulnerable.
The Sword of Truth contained a trace of Liu Xian's Misty Immortal Heart. Although it was only a trace, for Wang Lu, it was like a big river, menacing. Wang Lu only felt that his primordial spirit was shaken, and then it was swallowed by the Sword of Truth's torrential sword intent. His primordial spirit could only see darkness.
Bang!
Just at this time, a dull breaking sound awakened Wang Lu from the darkness. He saw that one of the ten pillars on the altar had been broken, and at the same time, a corner of the entire new city was also broken. More than thirty ninth rank arrays disappeared from the ground, and together, they detonated a shattering bell sound that resounded throughout the primordial spirit of his inner mansion.
Such a painful loss only awakened Wang Lu from his absent-mindedness for a moment. However, this short moment was enough for Wang Lu to respond. His right thumb and middle finger gently touched each other, and his Non-Phase Heart Sutra was launched. The nine pillars rumbled, and the entire new city seemed to be shrouded in an emerald green light!
"Good!"
In the sky, Liu Xian could not help but exclaim in admiration. The level of Wang Lu's array arrangement was not high, but the hundreds of arrays were interlocked, reflecting an extremely solid foundation of array skills. Only on this point, among the disciples who came to this experiential learning, there were only a few people who could be compared to him. However, among those disciples who specialized in array skills, no one could have the ability to grasp the timing and layout as accurately as Wang Lu.
The shattering bell had long been prepared. As long as Wang Lu was absent-minded, it would automatically activate. Obviously, he had already expected that he could not block the sharp sword intent of the Sword of Truth … This kid was self-aware!
And the layer of emerald green light behind was the Awakening Spirit Light. Wherever the light shrouded, it could make people excited and stay awake all night. Wang Lu wrapped himself in this light in order to prevent himself from fainting under the interrogation of the Sword of Truth. His response was also appropriate. What was more rare was that it only needed a gesture to activate, which was really rare and valuable for a disciple of the sixth level of Qi Cultivating Stage.
At this point, how could Liu Xian not see Wang Lu's plan?
These three days of arrangement fully demonstrated the amazing organizational mobilization power of the Wisdom Sect. How could a highly disciplined organization be compared to a secular cult? Although during the construction of the new city, because too many people launched the Heaven Burning Blood Technique, the entire valley was filled with the smell of blood, but the vigorous fighting spirit showed the difference between the Wisdom Sect and the other cults.
Then, Wang Lu personally went into battle. With a flash of lightning and a shower of stars, of course, he was not overestimating himself by trying to shake a Yuanying Stage Elder, but rather, he was showing off his amazing fine control and timing ability. These were not reflected in his cultivation level, but in actual combat, they were very crucial skills.
This was a display of his gains in the past eight months of experiential learning. And Liu Xian also admitted that, based on these points alone, Wang Lu was already a first-class figure among this group of disciples. At least, he was not a waste who was addicted to the temptation of money and power.
This was Wang Lu's self-proof of innocence!
"It's indeed not bad." Liu Xian softly sighed in the air. At this time, he recalled that three days ago, in the inn's guest room, Wang Lu's provocative words made the anger in his heart dissipate a lot. As a Reward Giver Elder, he always somewhat favored the outstanding disciple, and this child indeed had the capital to be arrogant. It's just that … there's always someone better, and there's always someone better. As a Successor Disciple of the Lingjian School, just this step was far from enough. Compared to the other two Successor Disciples, it was still far from enough...
Let alone the test of the Sword of Truth had just begun. Just now, the sword intent that made Wang Lu faint was just the outer shell of the Sword of Truth. The real core, which was the power from the Misty Immortal Heart, was still hidden behind it!
Right now, Wang Lu, who was in the Awakening Spirit Light, was facing the power of the Sword of Truth!
In a trance, the new city and the valley dissipated like clouds and mist, replaced by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Wang Lu stood on the mountain of corpses of an unknown number of people, surrounded by a chilly wind and the wailing of ghosts.
Wang Lu didn't need to think to know that this was an illusion created by the Sword of Truth. The real test began here, and under the Sword of Truth, the possibility of him passing the test was really not high.
To be honest, with the previous round of performances, he had already proven his strength. Even if he gave up now, it didn't matter if the defense of his heart was broken by the Sword of Truth. It was originally an impossible task, and not being able to complete it was not a sin. Uncle Liu Xian loved talents the most. Most likely, he would just reprimand him … but how could Wang Lu's plan be so simple?
It was just the Sword of Truth, let's face it head-on.
Therefore, Wang Lu let the chilly wind howl. The mountain of corpses under his feet trembled, and one by one, the resurrected corpses struggled to drill out from the fortress of blood and bones. They covered the whole mountain and slowly approached the mountain where Wang Lu was.
Such a terrifying scene was directly projected into the primordial spirit, which was enough to make most cultivators with weak minds lose their wits. However, how could Wang Lu show the slightest bit of fear? Instead, the corner of his mouth hooked up into a sneer. He crossed his arms and waited for the approaching corpses.
After a few breaths, the nearest corpse had already arrived in front of Wang Lu. Its fleshy skull swayed left and right, and from its mouth, it spat out vague syllables.
"Sect … Leader …"
"Wang … Lu …"
Wang Lu snorted, and then said with a smile, "Don't deliberately mystify me, I know what you want to say. You want me, the Sect Leader, to pay with my life for the death of the Wisdom Sect, right?"
As soon as his voice fell, his smile suddenly converged and turned into a frosty expression. "Pay your mother, go eat shit!"
After he finished speaking, he extended his hand and pressed it on the nearest skeleton. Then, he pushed it down the mountain. The corpse rolled on the ground, and halfway down the mountain, it was broken into pieces of flesh and blood residue.
Wang Lu's brutality immediately angered the corpses. Tens of thousands of corpses clamored, which made the gloomy atmosphere in the surrounding area even more intense. The illusion of the Sword of Truth was not afraid of being broken by violence, because once the tested person resorted to violence to solve the problem, most of the time, the person's heart was already weak! And the strength of the illusion of the Sword of Truth was precisely dependent on the opponent's heart. Once the opponent had a weak heart, then in the illusion, how could the opponent not be created? Even if the opponent was a fierce Dacheng Stage cultivator, the Sword of Truth could still project seventeen or eighteen True Immortals to tear the opponent into pieces.
However, behind Wang Lu's violence, there was a firm and incomprehensible self-confidence. "Dregs, what qualifications do you have to roar in front of me?"
This vigorous roar was like a rolling thunder that rolled down from the top of the mountain, causing the clamor of the corpses to stop.
Without waiting for them to move again, Wang Lu raised his sword-like eyebrows and pointed his finger forward. "You are the defeated who died in the Wisdom Sect's expansion war. Your resentment is monstrous, and you blame the pain of your death on me, wishing that you could cut me into pieces! But I, not evading nor escaping, gladly accepted this killing sin, bearing your resentment! Because the enemy's pain is my happiness, and the enemy's complaint is my heavenly music! Since I stand on the opposing side, I have a clear conscience regarding your killing! "
With that, his finger changed direction. "And you are the Wisdom Sect's warriors who died in the Wisdom Sect's expansion war. You have remorse in your heart, fantasizing that if you didn't join the Wisdom Sect, if you didn't stand on the front line, you could drag out an ignoble existence. Therefore, you blame the resentment of your death on me! Toward you, I calmly treat you with contempt! Because there are ten times, a hundred times more martyrs than you, who have no complaints or regrets for the sect's ideals. Compared to them, you are as light as dust! But a real warrior should leave their resentment to the enemy, should always fix their eyes on the front! After death, they should gather their former subordinates and return to the human world from hell! When you give up your resentment toward the enemy and turn it into remorse, you are not worthy to be a warrior, not worthy to enjoy the glory of the Wisdom Sect! I disdain the death of the fallen! "
"As for you, you are the cultivators who died prematurely under the Heaven Burning Blood Technique. You think that you have been deceived, that your grievances are like the flying snow in June, that I have ruined your long life! Toward you, I only have indifference and contempt! Because it is me who gave you the opportunity to touch the Immortal Path, it is me who gave you, these mortals, the possibility to go one step further. It is me who let you sublimate from being destined to die silently, becoming the founder of the sublimation of the Nine Regions! Let alone the Heaven Burning Blood Technique has never been forcibly promoted. Whether you are a mediocre mediocre person or a dazzling hero, even if it is only for a moment, the decision is in your hands! You have chosen to shine, so you don't have the qualification to regret the price of shining! Today's clamor will only make you ungrateful, so your death is not to be regretted! "
A series of roars deterred the millions of corpses. At this moment, Wang Lu's imposing manner reached its peak. Even this hell-like mountain of corpses and sea of blood couldn't stop his panicky eloquence! The millions of corpses actually didn't move forward, and the cold wind from hell also weakened a lot. Behind the blood clouds in the sky, there was a golden light, as if at any time the clouds would break the sky and the sun would shine!
"Heh, interesting."
At the same time, Liu Xian, who was watching all of this, smiled and nodded.
"Interesting? I think it's all sophistry! "Fang He disapproved of this.
Liu Xian said, "Although he is twisting words and forcing logic, he is not simply showing off his eloquence. To be able to say such a thing in front of the Sword of Truth, it can be seen that deep in his heart, he also thinks so. Even if he faces a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, his conscience is clear."
Fang He shook his head. "This kind of clear conscience can only show the distortion of his heart."
Liu Xian said, "Junior Brother, you're using the standard of ordinary people to judge him. Don't forget, this child is also the leader of a sect. As the saying goes, the merciful cannot command an army. If he doesn't have such a distorted state of mind, how can he run a sect? Or rather, in the Nine Regions, which successful leader doesn't have a bit of paranoia and distortion? "
Fang He just shook his head, but didn't argue with Liu Xian.
Liu Xian said, "Rest assured, you don't know that the power of the Sword of Truth is far more than this. This child Wang Lu can only be a bit unyielding in the first test, but in the next test, he won't be able to withstand it."
This was also a matter of course. If the Sword of Truth could only rely on the toughness of his heart, it wouldn't have the effect of proving his innocence. Because even if a person indiscriminately killed innocent people, as long as he firmly believed that his indiscriminate killing was reasonable, he could still pass this test. It's just that he might not have the courage to roar like Wang Lu did.
A person's clear conscience was not the same as being shameless, because the Sword of Truth was not asking about a person's seven orifices exquisite heart, but the Dao Heart.
The so-called Dao Heart was the perception and understanding of the Immortal Path during the Immortal Cultivation. Although the Immortal Path could be divided into three thousand Great Daos, each one had its bottom line and foundation. If one wanted to follow these Daos, one must accept the rules of the Boundless World. One could not use one's own ideas to cover the rules of the Boundless World, and one could not use the deformed three views to understand the Great Dao. Thus, it was impossible to be a righteous and shameless person — unless one cultivated the Devil Cultivation Method, or if one's Primordial Spirit had been cultivated to a pure and untainted state, then it was another matter.
Wang Lu did not cultivate the Devil Cultivation Method, and his Primordial Spirit was far from being pure and untainted. Therefore, when the power of the Sword of Truth was truly revealed, that strong coercion suddenly couldn't be maintained.
In the illusion, the mountain of corpses, the sea of blood, and the tens of thousands of corpses all disappeared, leaving only the boundless darkness.
After an unknown period of time, when Wang Lu's consciousness began to blur in the boundless darkness, a voice blasted out, "You're guilty!"
Buzz!
Wang Lu was almost scared out of his wits on the spot! When these three words rang, thousands of pictures poured into his mind. He saw the cultivators groaning under the Wisdom Sect's expansion knife, saw the civilians who suddenly died on the spot due to the excessive cultivation of the Heaven Burning Blood Technique, and also saw the Wisdom Sect's workers who worked day and night and died prematurely, as well as the relatives who wept next to their coffins.
These were all real karma. Whether you admit it or not, the blood on your hands would not be washed clean because of this. Wang Lu naturally knew the difficulty of this test, so he immediately tightened his heart's defense and resisted with all his strength!
His Primordial Spirit cultivation was not enough, so he couldn't directly face the test of the heart's examination. Therefore, at this time, he used all of his means. The remaining nine sacrificial pillars of the new city suddenly flew into the air, and correspondingly, not only the new city, but also the surrounding undulating mountain range! The green mountains and clear water trembled under the light of the sacrificial pillars, and then more spiritual energy was squeezed out from the Feng Shui Line. Along with the operation of the new city's Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy rushed toward Wang Lu like a river flowing into the sea!
At this time, the spiritual energy was turbulent, several times more violent than the spiritual energy tide when he built the Primal Chaos Altar! If it were an ordinary Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, they would immediately explode and die. However, in the middle of the sacrificial altar, Wang Lu was as steady as Mount Tai. All of the spiritual energy was absorbed into his body, and in an instant, the platinum rainstorm in his Inner Mansion set off a flood! This special magical power that was transformed from the Void Spirit Root actually didn't have enough time to evaporate!
Of course, the real protagonist was the golden liquid that was extracted from more than two hundred Sword Bones. When the Sword Bones were first formed, the golden liquid that Wang Lu inhaled and exhaled was accumulated bit by bit. Now, it was as if two hundred and six floodgates had been opened, forming a golden ocean in his Inner Mansion!
At the same time, the Primordial Spirit in his Inner Mansion that was wrapped in darkness began to rotate crazily, like the eye of the sea stirring the entire ocean. After a moment, the Primordial Spirit shone brightly! It actually forced back the darkness!
"Good!"
At this moment, Liu Xian and Fang He cheered in unison!
It was not for Wang Lu's huge array that was used to absorb spiritual energy, nor was it for the miraculous elixir that was used to strengthen the Sword Bones. Instead, it was for the last step, the technique of using magical power to strengthen the Primordial Spirit!
For cultivators, magical power and Primordial Spirit were two independent things. The Primordial Spirit controlled the magical power, and the magical power nourished the Primordial Spirit. However, the two could not be changed at will, unless …
Like Wang Lu, using a brilliant mental cultivation method. Mental cultivation method was the transformation of the mind and the method! For example, Liu Xian, Fang He, and other Yuanying Stage old monsters, they naturally knew this technique. However, Wang Lu had only been cultivating for three years, and his cultivation was only at the sixth level of the Qi Cultivating Stage, yet he was able to use the mental cultivation method to transform it … it was simply a miracle!
"Fifth Junior Sister's new version of the Non-Phase Mental Cultivation Method has improved again." After a moment, Liu Xian sighed with emotion, "But the main thing is that Wang Lu, this child, is formidable. To be able to achieve this step, this Sword of Truth …"
Fang He coldly snorted. "He still can't block it. After all, his cultivation is still too shallow."
Liu Xian pondered for a moment. "It's not that there's no chance … at least there's a one in ten thousand chance."
"Unless he's willing to go all out, there's not even a one in ten thousand chance. However, as long as he's not an idiot, there's no need for him to go all out for the Sword of Truth. To be able to reach this step, who would be too harsh on him? He should be clear in his heart that he won't persist to the end. "
Liu Xian smiled and shook his head. "Junior Brother, do you also have a fondness for talent?"
Fang He turned his head. "This kind of crooked talent, forget it. If he can be like your family's Little Liu Li, it's not bad."
Liu Xian's smile suddenly became a bit bitter. "If Little Liu Li can have a little bit of Wang Lu's cleverness, I'll be satisfied …"
The two Elders chatted for a while and didn't have any more expectations for the next outcome. However, at this time, in the face of the most severe test of the Sword of Truth, in the deepest darkness, Wang Lu's primordial spirit unexpectedly went tit for tat and didn't retreat even half a step!
Liu Xian was extremely surprised. "He's going all out!"
Fang He frowned. "What's he thinking!?"
However, no matter what Wang Lu was thinking at this time, there was no doubt that he had chosen a dead end!
The Sword of Truth was not a sword that could injure people. Even if the heart's defense was broken, it would only be a defeat without injury, and there was no danger. However, Wang Lu had overloaded his mental cultivation method, and the damage to his body, Inner Mansion, and primordial spirit would be fatal!
And the chance of him successfully resisting the Sword of Truth was at most one in ten thousand!
Whether it was Liu Xian or Fang He, they didn't expect that Wang Lu's temperament would become so unyielding after eight months of leaving the mountain. In order to prove his innocence, he didn't even care about his life!?
At this time, without any extra thoughts, Liu Xian only froze for a moment, then he turned his primordial spirit upside down, and the darkness around Wang Lu's primordial spirit immediately dissipated. The last half of the Sword of Truth was taken back by Liu Xian!
Suddenly losing the oppression, Wang Lu was also shocked. He immediately dispersed his spiritual power and stopped circulating his mental cultivation method. However, his whole body was physically and mentally injured, and he was extremely tired.
Standing on the altar, Wang Lu couldn't even maintain his standing posture. He was tottering, but the smile on his face was still so confident and calm.
"Uncle, disciple … has a clear conscience!"
