Dongbo Xue Ying raised his head and looked around. He took a deep breath. The murderous aura and resentment that permeated the blood-colored battle platform made him feel extremely happy.
After the battle, his mood relaxed, and endless fatigue surged in his heart.
This feeling of relaxation and exhaustion caused Xue Ying to involuntarily reveal a grin. He knelt down and caressed the ice-cold blood-colored battle platform. Feeling the cold touch, he muttered, "I've won. So what if it's the Blood Battle Platform? I've still won. I've already passed through the fourth vine leaf world. Now, all that's left is the fifth vine leaf world. Jing Qiu, wait for me.
He then stood up and touched the Stellar Fire Cloud Spear in his hand. It was this spear that had accompanied him all the way until now.
"Let's continue. We'll keep going." Dongbo Xue Ying smiled and walked out of the blood-colored battle platform. The space barrier around the platform had disappeared. Following the entrance, he quickly walked out of the blood-colored battle platform.
Whoosh.
After exiting the blood-colored battle platform, Dongbo Xue Ying immediately soared into the sky and continued to fly along the main branch of the Sky-Reaching Vine.
He was surrounded by an endless starry sky, and there were countless stars in the distance.
It was completely silent.
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at this lonely scene and smiled as he flew. As the pain from the voodoo poison became more intense, Dongbo Xue Ying took out the black gourd and drank a mouthful of the antidote.
...
Eight long days passed as he flew.
Dongbo Xue Ying flew to almost the top of this space. He looked up and saw an invisible space membrane. Clearly, above him … was another space. The main branch of the Sky-Reaching Vine continued to extend into the space membrane until it reached a higher space.
"As long as I can pass through the fifth vine leaf world, I'll be able to enter the higher space along the Sky-Reaching Vine and become an honorary disciple of Crimson Rock Mountain. I'll be able to obtain many treasures that even the great World Deities would covet." Dongbo Xue Ying was looking forward to that day. "Of course, there's only one obstacle left."
Dongbo Xue Ying's gaze landed on a huge vine leaf.
This was the fifth vine leaf.
There was nothing on the vine leaf except for the leaf itself.
"The transcendence of the Xia people." Next to Dongbo Xue Ying, the green-haired woman, Xi Wei, appeared on the main branch of the Sky-Reaching Vine. She looked at Dongbo Xue Ying with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, "Congratulations on reaching the fifth vine leaf. The fifth vine leaf seems to be the easiest out of all the leaves, but it also seems to be the most difficult one. It varies from person to person. "
Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
"As long as you land on the fifth vine leaf and your body touches the fifth vine leaf, you won't be able to hear, see, or even feel anything … What you have to do is to live on the fifth vine leaf for three years."
"If you survive, you'll have won, and you'll become an honorary disciple of my Crimson Rock Mountain."
"If you can't, your soul consciousness will collapse, and you'll die."
Xi Wei looked at him. "Do you understand?"
"Yes." Xue Ying nodded. He had the intelligence reports from the Xia Clan and Chen Jiu, so he was naturally clear about the fifth vine leaf world's situation. This was the only vine leaf world that did not require any battles. It might seem simple, but in reality, according to the intelligence reports, it was considered to be extremely difficult. Back in the Deity world, there were quite a few Transcendents overflowing with talent who were stopped at the fifth vine leaf world, their souls and consciousnesses crumbling and dying.
"Go." Xi Wei's eyes were filled with anticipation. It had been a long time since a protector disciple had been born after her master's death.
Dongbo Xue Ying took out the black gourd and drank a mouthful of the Hundred Bitter Restoration antidote. Then, without hesitation, he dived towards the fifth vine leaf world.
Xi Wei was also looking down at them. She softly whispered, "Among the few of them, Dong Bo Xue Ying is the one with the highest innate talent and potential. But compared to the other three, Dong Bo Xue Ying is still too young. I don't know if he can pass the fifth vine leaf world. I hope this genius Transcendent doesn't die here. "
She wanted to help, but she didn't have the authority.
Everything was decided by the Sacred Leader! She had to follow the rules.
The test of the fifth vine leaf world … Back then, the Sacred Leader had taken into consideration the Transcendents who came to challenge it. Most of them had reached the limit of Demigods and had cultivated for at least two thousand years. Only those who had reached a point where they couldn't improve any further would come. Therefore, the test was naturally difficult.
"The first four were fine, but the fifth one tests one's heart." Xi Wei was worried. "Dongbo Xue Ying's heart is very strong, but that's only when compared to the majority of mediocre Transcendents. Compared to Transcendents like the Meishan Master, Kenhuang, and Persei, I'm afraid he won't have much of an advantage. "
Cultivating one's heart required time.
For example, the Gods who had lived for millions of years … all of them had incomparably strong hearts. Because their hearts were weak, they wouldn't be able to live for that long. As time passed, they would feel older and older, more and more tired, and more and more bored. They might even start to doubt their own path of cultivation, and eventually, their True Deity Heart would collapse and they would die.
Therefore, the longer one could live, regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, they would all have their own beliefs and beliefs.
And Dongbo Xue Ying had only lived for two hundred years.
…
"Hu."
Dongbo Xue Ying swooped down, and only slowed down when he neared the giant vine leaf. Then, his feet slowly landed on the ground.
The moment his feet touched the vine leaf …
Everything was pitch black! Complete silence!
"My eyes can't see, my ears can't hear, and I can't sense any Laws of Profound Mysteries." Dongbo Xue Ying felt incomparably lonely. He couldn't feel anything except his own heartbeat and the flow of blood in his body. Of course, there was also the pain from the voodoo poison that was slowly increasing. It was as if he was the only one left in the world, and nothing else.
Dongbo Xue Ying sat down cross-legged, and silently sat.
He was used to this absolute loneliness.
Gradually …
Time seemed to slow down. Fortunately, he could tell time from his heartbeat and the pain from the voodoo poison. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to tell how much time had passed.
Dongbo Xue Ying's heart was indeed very strong. Since he was eight years old, he had been training his spear like a madman. He was used to being alone since he was young, and when he was twenty-two, he lived alone in the Black Wind Deity Palace at the bottom of the Black Wind Abyss for a whole six years. After that, the 'Six Ghosts Grudge' voodoo poison tortured him for a hundred years. Before that, Dongbo Xue Ying would drag it out until the very last moment before he consumed the antidote.
He had to fight against himself every single day! He had to endure to his limits every single time. Under this kind of torture, Dongbo Xue Ying's willpower had become terrifyingly strong.
Although he couldn't feel anything from the outside … ordinary mortals would probably collapse and go crazy within the time it took to brew a cup of tea. Even ordinary Transcendents would find it hard to endure for a month. This was much harder to endure than simple torture. In this absolute loneliness, even his thoughts would become very slow, as though the entire world had turned into nothingness.
…
Dongbo Xue Ying sat cross-legged in the fifth vine leaf world. According to the pain caused by the voodoo poison, every time he reached his limit, he would consume the antidote.
After a year, he was very calm!
This calmness caused Xi Wei, who was watching in the dark, to exclaim, "This young Transcendent has only cultivated for two hundred years. How can his heart be so calm? Even if the Six Ghosts Grudge voodoo poison can also train one's willpower, how can he endure a year of absolute loneliness like this? "
"Hu." From below the main branch of the Sky-Reaching Vine, a figure flew up. It was the Meishan Master.
The Meishan Master flew up high and saw Dongbo Xue Ying, who was already sitting cross-legged in the fifth vine leaf world. He couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise. "Dongbo Xue Ying came here a year earlier than me. After a year of 'closed-door training' in the fifth vine leaf world, his expression is still very calm. That's really impressive."
Usually, as one's heart fluctuated, their expression would change as well.
Dongbo Xue Ying's expression was calm. Evidently, the one year of closed-door training had little effect on him.
"Congratulations." The green-haired Xi Wei looked at the Meishan Master calmly. "This is the final fifth vine leaf."
