Qin Wentian naturally understood this. In truth, after Di Tian stepped into the third level, he only experienced a single thought. But this thought actually caused him to feel as though many years had passed. It was like a dream, a dream, a life of its own.
Such a method, or innate technique, was simply unimaginably powerful.
"I've once entered a dreamscape before. Dreamscape experts are able to create dreams, but what Di Tian experienced wasn't merely a dream created by others. He even knew that he had another body, and knew that Fairy Qingmei had her own consciousness. But even so, he still couldn't extricate himself from the dreamscape." Qin Wentian's expression turned solemn.
Qin Wentian furrowed his brows. The most difficult part of the ancient path was the fact that he had two bodies, yet he still couldn't wake up. One could very well imagine how terrifying this was. Di Tian could only depend on himself, no one could help him.
This was a test of his will. If he couldn't wake up, there was a very high possibility that he would be trapped in that nightmare forever, consigned to eternal damnation.
"You are connected to his mind, yet he actually couldn't sense your existence?" Qing'er asked in a low voice. Qin Wentian nodded, "That's exactly why it's so terrifying. While he was in that dreamscape, his control over his will was so great that even the connection between us was suppressed. I wonder if it was a dreamscape or an illusory technique."
Qing'er's eyelashes fluttered. After which, she stared at Qin Wentian. Her clear eyes caused Qin Wentian's eyes to flicker as he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Does that have anything to do with you hugging me?" Qing'er asked, her words causing an awkward smile to appear on Qin Wentian's face. He still wanted to change the topic, yet he didn't expect Qing'er to be so astute.
Staring at her pure and flawless eyes, Qin Wentian could only bitterly smile, "In Di Tian's dreamscape, something that made me extremely afraid happened, so …"
"Oh!" Qing'er interrupted Qin Wentian's words. She directly turned away, causing Qin Wentian to be unable to see the changes in her expression.
However, Qing'er didn't seem to be angry.
Gazing at the bamboo forest, Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath. When he thought of the pain Di Tian had experienced, he silently swore in his heart, "I will never allow such a life to happen."
As he thought of this, Qin Wentian clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he suddenly didn't want to clash head-on with the Pill Emperor Hall. He could disregard himself, but he had to consider his family and friends. He didn't wish for anything to happen to any of them.
"Let me bear all of this." Qin Wentian silently mused. Although Jun Yu's strength wasn't very strong, Fairy Qingmei had told him about the Royal Sacred Sect and the three empires before. If things were really like what happened in the dreamscape, Jun Yu was able to summon external forces. Even if he had the Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay, wouldn't that mean that he would be slaughtered the moment he slashed out? Even if he killed Jun Yu, he might feel a momentary sense of satisfaction, but what about the subsequent rage?
He definitely had to take revenge for Qingcheng, but he wouldn't allow anything to happen to the people around him.
"Qing'er, I plan to cultivate for a period of time before I leave Grand Xia," Qin Wentian spoke. The dream he had with Di Tian caused him to change his mind.
He wanted to go out, he wanted to become even stronger, possessing strength that no one in Grand Xia could contend against. At that time, only then would he have the qualifications to protect everyone.
"Oh." Qing'er replied, she didn't seem to have much of a reaction. However, Qin Wentian was already used to this.
"I will go as well." Qing'er spoke again, her words causing a smile to appear on Qin Wentian's face. Although Qing'er wasn't a talkative person, Qin Wentian had long treated her as one of the people closest to him. Every time he encountered life-threatening danger, she would always appear before him, never missing.
He still remembered when he transformed into a great roc, only Qing'er accompanied him silently. She told him, "I won't allow you to become a demon."
For the sake of this simple sentence, Qin Wentian didn't know what price she had to pay to obtain the Great Nirvana Immortal Art.
He had asked Qing'er a few times but she wouldn't reply. However, Qin Wentian himself had never given up on it. The Great Nirvana Immortal Art was a heaven-defying secret art, how could it be so easy to obtain it?
Creating two identical bodies with the same level of talent. If it was obtained by an extremely powerful character, he would be able to create two supreme experts. If this secret art was made known to others, Grand Xia would definitely go crazy over it. Let alone Jun Yu, even the powerful Royal Sacred Sect would tremble in fear. Qing'er had instructed him not to reveal this secret art. Hence, even if it was to Fan Le and the others, Qin Wentian didn't reveal this secret art.
Qin Wentian went back to his cultivation. Di Tian's body had gained many insights and he could directly absorb them. However, he needed some time to stabilize the foundation of this body.
...
As for Di Tian's body, he wasn't as relaxed as Qin Wentian. Right now, he was still struggling in the endless pain of the Devil Barrier.
Amidst the Devil Barrier, Qin Wentian was still madly sprinting through the Demonic Beasts Forest in Chu.
Dead, all of them had died. Qing'er had given him the last hope of survival, yet she herself had died. That final smile of hers, he would never be able to forget it. It resounded in his mind, causing him to feel a piercing pain in his heart.
He didn't dare to face it, he didn't dare to imagine that scene. He hated himself.
Why, why did things turn out like this?
Qin Wentian roared to the heavens. It was unknown how long he had been running, but he eventually fainted in the forest. When he woke up, he was in a daze. His hair was in a mess, and he resembled a madman.
He basically couldn't feel that this was an illusion. It was too real. It was like a lifetime, a cycle of reincarnation. He had no way to extricate himself from it, he couldn't even sense anything.
Would a person who had experienced his entire life doubt that this life was fake?
Clearly, it was impossible!
Self-blame and remorse lingered in his heart.
Qin Wentian continued sprinting, and after an unknown period of time, he arrived at a village in Chu.
The people in the village only knew the simplest of cultivation methods. In fact, they weren't even stellar martial cultivators, but ordinary cultivators who absorbed the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. Their strength was at the lowest level, yet they lived in peace and tranquility.
He couldn't help but feel a little envious of the lives of the villagers. If he, Qingcheng, Qing`er and the others could also live in such a village, living a carefree life, how wonderful would that be? Carefree, standing aloof from worldly affairs.
Qin Wentian felt that he was extremely fatigued. He wanted to rest.
In the village, he met a young girl. With just a single glance, Qin Wentian was deeply attracted to her. This young girl actually resembled Mo Qingcheng in the past. Pure and flawless, beautiful and moving. She was like the most beautiful flower in this world, radiating the light of the sun.
When this young girl saw that he was injured, she decided to take care of him. Very quickly, the two of them got to know each other. Qin Wentian was infatuated with the life in the village, no longer willing to venture out.
It was as though he was fleeing from something.
He was afraid, afraid that he would recall those nightmares. Every time he thought of them, his heart would feel as though it was being sliced by knives, as though countless arrows were piercing through his heart.
He gradually chose to forget everything in the past. In that case, he wouldn't have to face them again.
Gradually, he had a new life. He became an ordinary person, living a peaceful and tranquil life. It was as though he was willing to live like this forever.
However, all this happiness was shattered. Jun Yu's men found the village, and it just so happened that he wasn't there. He stood on a mountain peak far away and personally witnessed the destruction of the village. He saw the arrival of Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants, and he hated himself for being powerless. He hated himself, he wanted to flee again, to leave this place.
"No …" Qin Wentian let out a hysterical howl. He inclined his head and stared at the sky as his gaze abruptly turned incomparably sharp.
"Qing 'er won't die. Father and Sister Qin Yao won't die as well. Everything is fake, all fake." Qin Wentian howled madly. He wanted to question his life. He could sense that there was a mysterious force that was driving him crazy, forcing him into a state of eternal damnation.
"I won't flee anymore." Qin Wentian sat on the mountain peak as his gaze turned incomparably resolute. "If this is a real life, I'm willing to bury it with my own hands."
As the sound of his voice faded, Qin Wentian willed as a sharp sword appeared in front of him.
Qin Wentian gripped the sharp sword in his hand, and with no hesitation, he directly pierced it into his own chest. Instantly, a heart-wrenching pain assaulted his senses. Qin Wentian lowered his head, staring at the fresh blood flowing out. How could this be fake? This was his life, how could it be fake?
"If this life is real, I, Qin Wentian, am so cowardly and weak. What face do I have to continue living in this world?" Qin Wentian calmly laughed, as though he was enlightened. He no longer cared about life and death.
"I want a new life, a different life. Even if I have to be sliced into a thousand pieces, I will still end this life, regardless of whether it's real or fake."
As the sound of his voice faded, his sword pierced into his heart. Such pain almost caused him to fall unconscious.
However, the smile on Qin Wentian's face still remained. He roared, "Do you still want to stop me from ending this sinful life? Who are you exactly? How can you be so strong that you can trap me in this life forever? "
As he spoke, numerous sharp swords appeared in the air. Qin Wentian closed his eyes and roared in anger. In an instant, countless sharp swords flew towards him and pierced into his body. Millions of swords pierced through his heart, but he didn't regret it. This was his obsession. He wanted to end this sinful life. How could he, Qin Wentian, live such a lowly and cowardly life?
If this life was real, then he would die.
Millions of swords pierced through his body. Qin Wentian slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, everything seemed to have disappeared in an instant. Everything returned to tranquility.
In the vast space, a silhouette quietly laid there. This silhouette was none other than Qin Wentian. His eyelashes moved as he opened his eyes. His eyes were still filled with determination and persistence.
"That unbearable life, even if it's just a dream, I will still end it." Qin Wentian murmured as he sat up. As expected, it was all in vain.
"Is this the test of the third level?" Qin Wentian felt a sense of loss in his heart. He actually didn't feel the slightest bit of joy. This life was so unforgettable that it made his heart ache. Although he knew that it was fake, he still couldn't let go of it.
It was too real. It was so real that it felt like he was experiencing another life. It was so real that even if a sword pierced into his heart, he still couldn't extricate himself.
This was the most difficult test!
The first test, combat strength, was the easiest.
The second test, comprehension, was extremely difficult. The Sword Forest could kill.
The third test, willpower, faith, life. This test was too terrifying. It was so terrifying that even the current Qin Wentian felt his hair standing on end. Luckily, everything had ended!
