Had he fallen asleep?
Ever since he had entered Crimson Rock Mountain and risked his life, he had never slept in the past four years! Actually, at his current level, sleeping was just a habit, a pleasure, and not a necessity. When he had fallen from the Path of Reflection, he had definitely fallen into a deep sleep. Although it had only been a short while, he had felt very comfortable after falling to the ground and waking up.
"I'm only halfway through the first section of the Path of Reflection? Let's try again. " Dongbo Xue Ying immediately took a step forward, leaving behind an afterimage as he arrived at the beginning of the Path of Reflection. He once again stepped onto the stone steps, walking upwards step by step.
Although the feeling of exhaustion engulfed his soul, it was getting stronger and stronger.
Dongbo Xue Ying, on the other hand, sought a transcendent state of mind.
Just like when he was suffering from the pain of the voodoo poison, he was able to minimize the effects of the pain and maintain an empty mind. But the feeling of exhaustion on the Path of Reflection was endless. The more he walked, the stronger it would become, far surpassing the effects of the voodoo poison.
"Wake up."
"Stay awake."
"It's all an illusion."
Dongbo Xue Ying worked hard to make his soul even more ethereal, abandoning all influences. Even if the wind and sand filled the sky, he would still stand tall!
… …
In mid-air, there were currently four figures standing side by side, watching as Dong Bo fell asleep and fell down the Path of Reflection time and time again.
They were Xi Wei, Crimson Rock, a youth in a thick robe, and a youth in a scarlet cloak.
The thick-robed youth watched from afar and revealed a smile. "This kid is quite impressive. He has walked the Path of Reflection time and time again. This is the sixth time, right? He actually walked twenty more steps than the first time. He actually improved in such a short period of time. Perhaps he really does have a chance of becoming an inner disciple and becoming our little junior brother. Old Seven, don't you think so? "
"Mn." The scarlet cloaked youth nodded. "He has just cultivated the Myriad Tribulations Body, and his body is nourishing his soul. In less than ten years, his soul will be at least twice as strong as it is now! His heart will be tempered a bit more, and passing the first section shouldn't be a problem. "
"Do you think it's possible for him to take us away in the future?" The thick-robed youth asked.
"How difficult would it be to bring us away?" The scarlet-cloaked youth shook his head. "The Laws of the material world are incomparably tyrannical. Even the mighty powers of the Deity Realm are unable to forcibly descend upon it. Only the Lords of the material world are able to freely enter and exit it. But when the Lords of the material world return to the material world from the Deity Realm, they can only bring some inanimate objects or ordinary Transcendents with them. Deity level experts and even stronger experts could not be brought into the material world. Unless he had a Heavenly Abode treasure! Paradise Treasures can carry living beings and can isolate the detection of the material world. Back then, we were forcefully thrown into the material world from within Crimson Rock Mountain. However, obtaining an Eden treasure was simply too difficult. Back then, Master only had Crimson Rock Mountain as his only Eden treasure. Second Senior Brother, if we want to get out, we can't rush it. We have to be patient. "
"I understand." The thick-robed youth nodded lightly.
The thick-robed youth grinned and looked at Crimson Rock. "Senior Crimson Rock, can't you lower the requirements for becoming my master?"
"It has to be a personal disciple, a World Deity," Crimson Rock said. "Without an exceptional talent who has comprehended a grade one True Meaning, it's impossible for him to avenge Master! If he can't become a World Deity, he won't be able to refine Crimson Rock Mountain either. "
"A grade one True Meaning Transcendent … or he has to grasp a grade one Deity Heart within ten thousand years." The thick-robed youth shook his head. "Master has lived for so long, yet he's only accepted two people who meet these requirements. Even if Dongbo Xue Ying has become a World Deity, if he isn't a personal disciple, how would he be able to find an Eden treasure? Among our group of fellow disciples, only Eldest Brother Hui Ming had a Heavenly Abode treasure. "
Senior Brother Huiming had a very special status amongst the disciples of Crimson Rock Mountain.
He was the leader of the three great personal disciples!
He was the idol of worship for all the disciples. In the Deity World, Senior Brother Huiming's brilliance was even more dazzling than his master, Sacred Master Crimson Dust! Even though he wasn't a powerful existence, he was close to it!
"I wonder if Senior Brother Huiming has become a powerful existence," the scarlet-cloaked youth said.
"According to Ancestor, he hasn't," Xi Wei replied.
"Ai! In our Crimson Rock Mountain lineage … only Senior Brother Huiming has a chance of becoming a powerful existence. What a pity. "The scarlet-cloaked youth was somewhat unresigned.
The thick-robed youth beside him shook his head. "Senior Brother Huiming was wantonly spreading his faith. It's said that over a hundred million mortal worlds were the source of his faith. His faith allowed him to become powerful, but it also restricted him greatly. Wanting to become a powerful existence … is simply too difficult! It's only been a million years since we fell into the material world. How could Eldest Senior Brother Huiming break through so quickly? "
"Let's not talk about it. Let's look at that little fellow Dongbo." The scarlet-cloaked youth looked into the distance. "He's walked the Path of Reflection ten times today. It seems he's about to give up."
"He's not giving up. Look, he's going to the Soaring Cloud Pagoda!" the thick-robed youth said.
The two of them were the only two World Deities in Crimson Rock Mountain other than Xi Wei.
...
"This heart needs to be polished frequently. Otherwise, the slightest negligence will cause one to fall behind." Dongbo Xue Ying quite liked the Path of Reflection. If he didn't have the Path of Reflection, then he could only cultivate his spear techniques, merging his heart with his spear and tempering his will over and over again! Alas, the effects of the Path of Reflection couldn't compare to the Path of Reflection. The Path of Reflection directly targeted the heart of one's soul. Walking it ten times a day would be extremely effective.
Dongbo Xue Ying soon arrived in front of the towering nine-story pagoda. This was the Soaring Cloud Pagoda! One had to pass through six floors in order to become an Inner Disciple.
The Soaring Cloud Pagoda's doors were wide open.
Dongbo Xue Ying stepped inside.
Inside the pagoda, there was a spacious circular space. A white-bearded old man sat cross-legged with two swords strapped to his back.
When Dongbo Xue Ying stepped into the spacious circular space, the white-bearded old man opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at Dongbo Xue Ying with a gleam of excitement in his eyes, "Someone's finally here. It's been a long time since I last fought, and I'm about to suffocate to death. Although this body on the first floor is weaker, and the power I use is also weaker, it won't be that easy for you to win."
"Let me see how powerful you are." Dongbo Xue Ying stretched out his right hand, and a black spear appeared in his hand.
Dongbo Xue Ying's battle intent was also boiling.
How many years had it been?
This was the first time he wasn't plagued by the hexing poison, and the Time Immemorial Body filled his body with energy. This surging feeling made him thirst for battle. Moreover, the moment he entered the pagoda, he discovered that there were no seals on the space inside. Teleportation, Spatial Penetration, and so on could be used freely. He could use all sorts of Laws of Profound Mysteries to his heart's content.
"You go first. Make your move." The white-bearded old man stood there, and he spoke in a carefree manner.
"Alright."
Dongbo Xue Ying didn't decline, and he instantly charged forward.
Shua.
His Extreme Piercing instantly pierced through space, and he charged towards the white-bearded old man.
"Freeze." The white-bearded old man was still as carefree as before. He merely spat out a single word, and the space around him froze. Dongbo Xue Ying, who was originally using his Extreme Piercing, was also forced out.
"Space Deity Heart?" Dongbo Xue Ying's expression changed slightly, but his movements didn't change. He directly stabbed out with his spear.
Boom!
The terrifying strength of the Time Immemorial Body allowed a casual Extreme Piercing strike to possess a might that could cause one's heart to tremble.
The white-bearded old man frowned. Clang! Clang! The two longswords on his back were instantly unsheathed, and he held one in each hand. With lightning speed, two dazzling sword lights clashed against Dongbo Xue Ying's spear. Dongbo Xue Ying only felt that the two swords were clashing against his spear from the side.
In just an instant, the spear's body was guided to the side, and the longswords followed the spear's body and pierced towards him.
Too fast!
Even his instant movement and Extreme Piercing were too slow to dodge.
Dongbo Xue Ying immediately transformed into his doppelganger, and he immediately teleported a hundred meters away.
"Rip." The white-bearded old man's two swords flashed with sword lights. For a moment, streaks of sword lights intertwined with each other, crisscrossing within a hundred meters of Dongbo Xue Ying. No matter how many doppelgangers Dongbo Xue Ying used, he couldn't escape from the crisscrossing sword lights. Moreover, the sword lights were fused with space, and they were unpredictable. They would appear here and there, and it was hard to predict where they would appear.
Dongbo Xue Ying's only powerful secret technique, Star Meteor Annihilation, was an offensive killing technique! It didn't have any powerful defensive techniques.
He could only … take it head-on!
"Peng, peng, peng!!!" Dongbo Xue Ying's body was instantly attacked by the sword lights. Some of the sword lights even pierced through space, ignoring the godly armor he was wearing, and pierced into his body.
However, those terrifying and sharp sword lights pierced into his body, causing his blood, bones, and organs to tremble slightly. Every particle in his body was incomparably tough, and they easily dissipated the impact.
This terrifying sword light, which was close to the power of Star Meteor Annihilation, was easily blocked by Dongbo Xue Ying's body.
Dongbo Xue Ying himself was slightly stunned …
"This body of mine, isn't it a little too strong?" Dongbo Xue Ying finally understood why the Time Immemorial Body's strength, speed, and other aspects were only supplementary. The most powerful aspect was its ability to protect his life. It was one thing for the sword lights to be unable to pierce through his skin, but it didn't even cause any damage to his internal organs.
"No matter how strong your body is, you won't be able to defeat me. You still won't be able to pass the first level." The white-bearded old man wielded his sword with both hands as he stood not far away.
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the white-bearded old man in front of him.
He had to admit that his secret technique, Star Meteor Annihilation, was considered strong. His other techniques were too simple. Even if he combined them … he was still completely suppressed by the white-bearded old man. The white-bearded old man had grasped at least two Grade 2 Deity Hearts, and he had fused them extremely well.
"This is only the first level, and his realm is already higher than mine?" Dongbo Xue Ying thought.
