Seeing this stone door, Lu Xuan added a little more strength to his strength and roared, "Kill!"
With his final burst of strength, the few remaining Black Ice Demons were finally killed!
Immediately after, Lu Xuan used a surge of Yuan Power and instantly arrived in front of the stone door. He had passed through the hundred zhang corridor! The Black Ice Demons were all killed!
"Congratulations, you have successfully passed through the second test. Your speed is not bad. There are still ten breaths of time left. It will take an incense stick's time to pass." Bing Ling's voice sounded.
Lu Xuan regained his senses and let out a long sigh. That was close. He would have failed in another ten breaths of time. At this moment, he felt a sense of exhaustion. Killing so many Black Ice Demons in such a short period of time was not an easy task. Fortunately, he had passed through.
"Can I rest for a while before continuing?" Lu Xuan asked. He knew that his time was limited. Once the aftereffects of the Nether Blood Curse broke out, his chances of clearing the stage would be extremely low. He could even faintly sense signs of inner demons invading his body. However, given his current state, he was unable to deal with the upcoming tests.
"Drink it." Bing Ling's cold voice sounded. Then, a jade bottle flew towards Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan stretched out his hand to catch it and pulled the stopper. An extremely dense Yuan Power aura instantly came over. Inside the jade bottle, there was a liquid-like thing.
"Yuan Liquid!" Lu Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
Yuan Liquid was an existence of a higher level than Yuan Stones. It was made up of pure Yuan Power. Only in places where Yuan Power was extremely dense would a large amount of Yuan Power be formed into Yuan Liquid. In terms of effect, it was countless times better than Yuan Stones. Even Supreme Grade Yuan Stones had impurities. How could they compare to pure Yuan Liquid?
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xuan drank the small bottle of Origin Liquid right away. While it was a treasure that could only be found by chance, it could not compare to the benefits he would gain from passing the test. Good steel should be used where it was needed.
The elemental liquid entered Lu Xuan's body and quickly spread throughout his body. Lu Xuan's depleted elemental energy was replenished almost instantaneously, allowing him to recover at lightning speed.
After resting for less than ten breaths of time, Lu Xuan had recovered most of his strength. He could not help but sigh inwardly. This Yuan Liquid was really a great thing. If he had a small bottle of Yuan Liquid in battle, his endurance in battle would greatly increase.
But now was not the time to think about this. Lu Xuan stepped forward and pushed the third stone door. Next was the third test.
After the third door, there was still an ordinary stone room. As Lu Xuan was waiting for Bing Ling to explain the content of the test, Ling Ling's figure appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was slightly stunned, "Senior Bing Ling, what is the test for this test?"
"The test for this test is to defeat me." Bing Ling looked at Lu Xuan and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was shocked. Defeating Bing Ling? How could it be possible!
Previously, when he was fighting against the Profound Ice Demon at the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm, Bing Ling's consciousness alone was enough to force Lu Xuan to use all his strength. Now that he was facing Bing Ling herself, Lu Xuan felt that he had no chance of winning.
"Senior Bing Ling, stop joking around. Hurry up and tell me about the third test." Lu Xuan forced a smile. He still did not dare to believe Bing Ling's words.
"I said, the test for this test is to defeat me." Bing Ling repeated her words again.
After confirming that he did not hear wrongly, Lu Xuan's expression gradually turned serious. It seemed that Bing Ling did not lie to him. But, how should he pass this test?
Just as Lu Xuan was in a dilemma, Bing Ling continued, "Your strength is indeed not bad, but compared to mine, it's still not enough. Judging from your previous performance, you probably want to ask for a life-saving medicine for that woman. Seeing that you're talented, I can make the decision to give you a spiritual medicine, but you'll fail the inheritance test."
Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Give up this test and find a life-saving medicine for Chenxi? It sounded like a good idea. At least he could save Chenxi. However, with such a great opportunity right in front of him, would he be willing to give it up if he did not fight for it?
Lu Xuan tightened his grip on the sword in his hand. He was in a dilemma. Was his martial arts more important, or was Chenxi more important?
However, if he could not defeat Bing Ling, wouldn't both be empty talk? Furthermore, Bing Ling had mentioned that if he could pass the five tests and obtain the Blood of the Green Dragon, it would be able to heal his internal injuries.
Lu Xuan knew that he had used forbidden techniques consecutively and his internal injuries were extremely serious. If he did not find a way to heal them, his future path of martial arts would be extremely difficult. He might even be stuck in the Spirit Refinement Realm. This was something he did not want to see.
Chenxi was important, but so were everyone else. If he did not have enough strength, how could he find Zhao Binger? If the Eldest Senior Brother from the Ice Pavilion found out about my relationship with Zhao Binger, why would he let me go? Everyone around me would be in trouble as well!
The scenes that he had witnessed in the Inner Demon kept appearing in front of Lu Xuan's eyes. If he did not have enough strength, everything would become reality!
However, could he really pass all the tests? Lu Xuan asked himself.
Questions after questions kept popping up in his mind. There was no way to solve them.
No!
At this moment, Lu Xuan suddenly remembered something. The Pavilion Leader of the Ice Pavilion had passed the third test. In other words, he had defeated Bing Ling!
More importantly, Bing Ling had said that with his strength, he could at least pass the third test. He might even have a chance of passing the fourth test. This meant that Bing Ling was not invincible!
At this thought, Lu Xuan's gaze became determined. Whether it was for his own martial arts or to protect the people around him, he would take the risk this time!
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Bing Ling. However, I still want to fight for it with my own strength!" Lu Xuan looked at Bing Ling and said firmly.
"If that's the case, then make your move. Don't say that I didn't warn you. It's not too late to back out now." Bing Ling stared into Lu Xuan's eyes and said.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "Sorry for the offense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan rushed forward and attacked with the strongest move of the Seven Dragonization Swordplay, the Proud Dragon Shows Remorse!
Lu Xuan did not use the Oneness of Heaven and Man immediately because he knew that he only had two chances to use the Oneness of Heaven and Man.
The brilliant sword light slashed across Bing Ling's body. Contrary to Lu Xuan's expectations, as the sword light hit Bing Ling's body, Bing Ling was instantly shattered, just like the Dark Ice Demons.
Just as Lu Xuan was stunned, Bing Ling's voice sounded in his ears. "You really did not disappoint me. Congratulations on passing the third test!"
"This …" Lu Xuan was still in a daze. After all, it was too sudden.
"The third stage tests your heart of martial arts. There are many important people and things in this world, just like that female companion of yours. However, you must know that in this world, only powerful strength is the foundation that determines everything. Even if you are able to protect the people or things that you cherish, if you are not powerful enough, perhaps one day, you will still lose them." Bing Ling's voice sounded solemn. "For example, if you had given up just now, I would not have given you the elixir. What you have to bear is just a failure in the test."
Lu Xuan's expression turned serious. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Bing Ling. I have learned a lot!"
The Martial Heart was the foundation of a martial artist. Without a firm heart, one would not be able to go far on the path of martial arts. Although he did not want to admit it, this was the way of the world. Only with great strength could one protect the things that one truly wanted to protect!
"Well, it's good that you understand. Now, go and open the fourth door. For the first three tests, only the temperament test was difficult for you. However, you have passed it safely. For the fourth test, I can't help you anymore. It depends on your real strength!"
Lu Xuan nodded. He strode forward and opened the fourth door.
It was still a stone chamber. There was nothing in it.
"The fourth test tests Dao!" Bing Ling said, "With your current realm, you can't comprehend Dao for now. However, Dao is the foundation of martial arts. For example, martial arts is a Dao! However, it includes countless Daos. The Sword Principle that you cultivate is one of them. There are three thousand Great Daos. When you reach the extreme of each Dao, you will reach the peak of martial arts! "
The Dao was indeed a mysterious thing. No one knew what the Dao was, but everyone was pursuing the Dao. Martial artists pursued the Martial Dao, Talisman Masters pursued the Talisman Dao, sword cultivators pursued the Sword Dao, saber cultivators pursued the Saber Dao, and body refiners pursued the Dao of strength …
"I understand. Please enlighten me, Senior." Lu Xuan could faintly feel that this test was getting more and more difficult. It was indeed the inheritance of the Ice Phoenix. The first three tests were still common. However, at the fourth test, the difficulty suddenly increased. Dao was such a mysterious existence. Not to mention Lu Xuan, even an Origin Realm expert might not be able to understand what Dao was.
"You cultivate Sword Dao. Naturally, it tests your Sword Dao. This stone chamber has a total of a hundred steps. It includes a hundred types of Sword Arts. You have to break all these hundred types of Sword Arts to pass the fourth test."
It was easier said than done to crack hundreds of sword techniques. Putting aside the fact that Lu Xuan only knew a few sword techniques at the moment, even if he were to read a lot of books and learn hundreds of martial arts techniques, it would still be nigh impossible for him to crack so many sword techniques.
To succeed, he had to truly comprehend Dao! If he could truly comprehend Sword Dao, not to mention hundreds of Martial Arts, even thousands of Sword Arts would be the same in his eyes. As the saying goes, no matter how one changes, one stays the same.
"There is no time limit for this test. You can slowly break through it. However, your body condition is not good. If you don't break through soon, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the fifth test." Bing Ling sighed slightly as she said that. If Lu Xuan had not used the forbidden skill and had enough time, he might have been able to pass all five tests in a row. It was a pity that nothing was perfect, and everything was left to fate.
"Senior Bing Ling, the first Pavilion Master of the Mystic Ice Pavilion should have reached the fourth test. How many Martial Arts did he break?" Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask.
