Lu Qingshan had been in the pagoda for a long time.
However, there was no way to time in the pagoda. Coupled with the constant changes of the sun and moon in the various evil images, he could not accurately know the passage of time.
His trip to the Karma Tower was equivalent to killing all the enemies he had killed in the five years since he came to this world.
Originally, this was not a big deal.
Since he could kill these enemies once, it was not a big problem to kill them again.
The strange thing was, these evil images were still fine in the early stages. However, towards the end, it was as if they had gone berserk. Their strength increased by many folds, far exceeding their original strength.
Therefore, at the beginning, he could easily defeat them. But now, it was starting to take a lot of effort.
What was even more difficult was that these evil images appeared one after another, not giving him any time to rest.
In terms of spiritual power, with the strong recovery ability of a Taoist technique, it was not to the point where he could not continue.
The real difficulty was the mental exhaustion.
Almost non-stop battles were a great test for anyone.
At this point, Lu Qingshan's mind was inevitably in a trance.
His current state was like his previous life, where he had played games overnight for three days. He was sleepy and in a trance.
He adjusted his breathing slightly, trying to clear his mind.
"It's almost over." Lu Qingshan muttered, "Is it really like what the Water Moon Temple Master said, that in this Karma Tower, other than suffering from the evil images, there are no other methods to trigger the true meaning of karma?"
The timeline in the Karma Tower had reached the third year of Tianyuan. It was not far from the end.
However, until now, he still had not triggered the true meaning of karma.
Lu Qingshan could not help but wonder if he had entered a fake Karma Tower.
Otherwise, with his talent, he would not be like this.
However, it was not that he did not gain anything.
Although the true meaning of karma did not improve, he could faintly feel that his Massacre Sword Essence, which was already perfect, had some budding in this continuous killing.
The east was not bright, but the west was bright.
"Continue." Lu Qingshan held the Dragon Sparrow tightly.
A warm feeling came from the sword hilt, making him feel a sense of comfort in this silent and cold Karma Tower.
The surrounding scenery was finally completely fixed.
He was currently in a small Source Rock Orchid mine.
Many Origin Demons appeared in the surroundings and pounced at him the moment they appeared.
Chi! Chi!
These grade-three Origin Demons had all reached grade-four due to the Karma Tower's amplification. They moved at lightning speed, their figures moving like ghosts in the darkness of the mine. The sound of wind whistling could be heard as they moved.
With so many of them, it was easy to imagine how terrifying they were.
"Although all of you have become stronger, I have also become stronger." Lu Qingshan's pitch-black eyes were already slightly bloodshot at this moment.
There was no fear in his heart, and his killing intent grew stronger. "If I can kill you once, I can naturally kill you a second time."
The sword was like a swimming dragon as it stabbed diagonally towards the Sourcefiend in midair.
Afterimages of a sword appeared in his hand, protecting his entire body from being hit by the sword.
… ….
The day of the competition was approaching.
This was the matter that attracted the most attention of human cultivators in the past few decades.
As for other major events, most people were just there to watch the show.
However, the dojo competition was related to their personal interests.
The day before the competition, in front of the Karma Tower of the Heavenly Secrets Temple.
Lin Yao's figure slowly descended.
"Young Master Lu hasn't left the tower …" Lin Yao muttered. Her gaze was unfocused, and there was a hint of worry between her brows.
"Looks like he'll be absent from the competition this time." Another figure appeared beside Lin Yao with a flash.
"Master." Lin Yao was shocked, and hastily greeted her.
The Water Moon Temple's master who had just appeared swept her gaze across the Karma Tower that had been closed for a long time. She could not help but sigh softly. "The longer he stays in the tower, the greater the damage to his mind will be when he fails."
Lin Yao pursed her lips and said softly, "Perhaps, Young Master Lu will really be able to fight his way out?"
"It's almost impossible. The longer he stays, the more impossible it will be." The Water Moon Temple's master was expressionless as she said, "Previously, I had the same hope as you.
However, he's been in the tower for so long and still hasn't left. It's hard to imagine how strong the evil images inside have become. "
"Master, have you challenged the Karma Tower before?" Lin Yao could not help but ask.
The Water Moon Temple's master nodded slightly. "I've challenged this tower when I was in the Nascent Soul stage. From there, I comprehended the true meaning of karma."
"How did you do it, Master?" Lin Yao was curious.
In her heart, her Nascent Soul master should be inferior to Lu Qingshan.
However, why was it that a talented person like Young Master Lu could not do what her master could do?
It did not make sense.
"As long as you cultivate your heart, there's a method to everything. It's like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, or a shadow. It's like dew or lightning," the Water Moon Temple's master said calmly. "The evil images are all bubbles and illusions. I'm calm and indifferent.
Hence, when those evil images were about to use their weapons on me, they automatically dissipated and turned into gray fog. "
"It's also through the birth and death of these evil images that I managed to comprehend the true meaning of karma without being injured."
The Water Moon Temple's master's words were profound, and Lin Yao could not understand.
"Everyone's method of dispelling the evil images of karma is different. This varies from person to person. The method that suits me may not suit him.
Hence, when he entered the tower, I did not say much to him. "The Water Moon Temple's master explained," After all, if he did not have the calm and indifferent state of mind, he would have imitated me and suffered the pain of having his neck slit. "
"However, although there are many ways to dispel the evil images of karma, according to the temple's records, the disciples of the Heavenly Secrets Temple who have benefited from it have all used the method of cultivating their hearts to deal with the evil images.
There are all sorts of methods, such as forgiveness, epiphany, gradual cultivation, reform, or endurance. The only thing I've never heard of is someone who managed to kill his way out of the Karma Tower and comprehend its true meaning. "
"Killing is cultivating one's strength, not one's heart. There's a limit to one's strength." The Water Moon Temple's master asserted.
"It's impossible for others, but not for him …" Lin Yao's eyes flickered as if she did not understand the Water Moon Temple's master's words.
The Water Moon Temple's master took a deep look at Lin Yao and did not say anything.
She did not look down on Lu Qingshan. In fact, she thought highly of Lu Qingshan.
If it were someone else who chose to go on a killing spree in the Karma Tower, she was certain that this person would suffer a double loss in the Karma Tower.
It was precisely because the person who entered the tower was Lu Qingshan that she still had high hopes for him.
However, time had dragged on for so long. From an objective point of view, even if Lu Qingshan was the first on the Yellow Rankings, it would be difficult for him to win.
The reason why Lin Yao thought that Lu Qingshan still had a chance was purely because of her subjective feelings.
Lin Yao had no reason to believe in Lu Qingshan's abilities.
This was a very dangerous behavior.
The Heavenly Secrets Temple's people's motto was to be objective.
The biggest taboo was to let one's emotions affect one's judgment.
This was also the reason why she assigned Lin Yao and Ling Yue to be in charge of the Four Rankings. She wanted them to develop the habit of being objective.
'Little Yao, you're still far from being a qualified Heavenly Secrets Temple cultivator …'
The Water Moon Temple's master sighed in her heart.
