Chapter 1018 Trials (1)

"Practicing Taoism and immortality is to overcome life and death. Since I have the chance, why don't I fight for it?"

At this moment after waking up, Fang Yi felt like he was enlightened and his whole body became clear. The thing he encountered in front of him might be just a very small thing on the road of cultivation. If he couldn't even get through this threshold, his path to cultivation would probably have come to an end.

Fang Yi raised his head, his eyes became brighter, and he said loudly: "I agree to the trial!"

"Okay, man should compete with the heaven, the earth, and the beasts to survive. I hope you can pass the trial!" The voice sounded.

"Thank you!"

Since he had made a decision, Fang Yi was no longer worried about gains and losses. However, Fang Yi was a little curious about the person behind this voice and said immediately: "Although I don't know what you call me, can you come out and meet me?"

"See me?"

Hearing Fang Yi's words, the voice was filled with confusion, "I don't have a body, how can I meet you? The spiritual energy in this place is getting thinner and thinner, and I don't know when it will be opened next time. Maybe you and I will meet forever?"

"Don't have a body?" Fang Yi suddenly thought of his Juntian Cauldron in his mind, and immediately said in a lost voice: "Are you, you are the spirit of the weapon? Is this so-called secret realm just a magic weapon?"

"Magic weapon?"

The voice obviously sneered at Fang Yi's words, "Who can refine such a magic weapon? But I'm very familiar with the word "Art Spirit". Strange, I seem to have heard of this name. Are I the Artifact Spirit you mentioned?"

The sound without body was obviously lost in some memory, and he spoke a little messy, and he would fall into thinking from time to time. After a while, he continued: "This place was originally a small cave, and it was my master who was refining it. By the way, who is my master? Who am I?"

"Refining the small cave heaven? Can the small cave heaven be refined?"

When Fang Yi heard the words from that voice, he was shocked. He knew that in Taoist classics, Xiaodongtian actually means a secret realm. In ancient times, someone could refine a secret realm. Before hearing this sentence, it was simply unimaginable for Fang Yi.

"What's strange about this? A truly powerful man can pick stars and embrace the moon, and refine a small cave."

I don’t know how long it took to communicate with someone. I almost answered Fang Yi’s words, but he had many things that he couldn’t remember. He spoke in a mess, but he couldn’t explain his origin clearly.

"Okay, I'm ignorant."

Fang Yi once saw the ancient murals on the giant city in Cambodia. He knew that the sound was not false, and there were many pictures such as the fall of stars in those murals.

"I remember seeing those scenes, why can't I remember them?" The voice seemed to be recalling something, and it was silent for a long time before it rang again. "Are you ready for a trial?"

"After doing it, how did the trial go? How did it be considered a success of the trial?"

Fang Yi nodded and took the opportunity to ask more questions. Although he decided to take the trial, it does not mean that Fang Yi does not want to know more about the rules of the trial. He does not want to die here in a confused way because of ignorance.

"Promotion, or death!" The answer given by the voice was a bit cruel. In his opinion, those who are not innate cultivation are not considered trials at all when entering here. Only those in the Qi Refining Stage can enable him to start the trial.

As for Fang Yi, this voice lowered the trial standard for the Qi Refining Stage by another specification. As for whether Fang Yi can pass, it depends on Fang Yi's fortune. In short, he is responsible for killing or burying, and life and death, wealth and honor all depend on Fang Yi himself.

"What exactly is the trial?" Fang Yi asked unwillingly.

"The world where Qi Refiners survive is always accompanied by death. If you want to survive, you can only become stronger and accept your trial." The voice did not answer Fang Yi's question, but said an inexplicable sentence.

"Hey, hey, you're just making it clear."

Fang Yi started yelling anxiously, but before he finished speaking, he felt a dizzy and darkness, which made Fang Yi involuntarily close his eyes. When Fang Yi opened his eyes again, he found that the surrounding environment had suddenly changed.

Originally, Fang Yi was in a hall built by man, but now Fang Yi found that his body had become empty, and there were blue sky and white clouds above his head, and the surroundings were covered with green trees. Even the sound of gurgling water could be heard in Fang Yi's ears.

"Promotion or death, range of activity, 500 meters around..." If it weren't for the sound in my ears again at this time, Fang Yi almost thought that he had already left this secret realm and came to a scenic spot in China.

“Where is this place?”

Fang Yi looked around vigilantly, and his body became tense. For some reason, Fang Yi had a deep crisis in this place where green trees were shady and flowing, and the feeling was only strong, which made Fang Yi's pores explode.

The sound did not sound again, and no one answered Fang Yi's question, but just as Fang Yi's voice fell, he suddenly felt his scalp numb, and then a gust of Li Feng blew over his head. Fang Yi quickly shrank his head and rolled back quickly.

"Hmm? Still following me? Wuliang Tianzun, what the hell is this?"

Feeling the danger like a shadow, Fang Yi kicked forward with his right foot. His kick poured all the true energy in his body. Even a big rock could be shattered. With a loud "bang", Fang Yi found that something black all over his body was kicked away by himself.

"So hard?" When he kicked the black object, Fang Yi only felt his right foot as if he was kicking an iron plate. He couldn't help but grin.

Although Fang Yi's cultivation level has not yet truly entered the Qi Refining Stage, he has already touched the threshold of the Qi Refining Stage, and his true energy is extremely thick. This kick makes the monster who attacked him very uncomfortable, and his body quickly hides into a bush more than ten meters away from Fang Yi.

"Are you actually injured?"

Fang Yi, who was all focused on the bushes, suddenly felt a trace of liquid flowing from his eyelids. When he touched it with his hand, he found that his scalp and hair had been torn off. If Fang Yi had been slow just now, even the sky spirit cap would have been caught by the monster.

"Damn, what's this thing? So awesome?"

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yi stabilized his emotions and the blood on the wound on the scalp slowly stopped. Fang Yi knew that the more he was panicked at this time, the faster he would die.

After hiding into the bushes, the monster never showed up again, but Fang Yi could feel that the crisis still existed. With a thought, Fang Yi released his spiritual consciousness and touched the short blade on his waist that he had obtained from the Cambodian secret realm with his right hand.

"Well, it's not here?"

Fang Yi originally thought that the monster was hidden in the bushes in front of him, but when his spiritual sense swept away, he found that there were no creatures in the bushes. I don’t know when the monster had moved its position.

This made Fang Yi a little shocked. When he had just released the six consciousnesses, the monster could still leave quietly, which shows that it was very powerful in hiding his body.

"If you can hide from my eyes and ears, I don't believe that you can hide from my spiritual consciousness?" Fang Yi slowly moved towards the bushes without hesitation, but in fact Fang Yi's spiritual consciousness spread around.

"So it's hidden in a tree?" Just when Fang Yi was still four or five meters away from the bushes, he suddenly stopped because on the big tree not far above Fang Yi's head, Fang Yi's spiritual sense sensed a black mass of things.

"What's this?" The scene observed by the spiritual consciousness is basically no different from what you saw with your own eyes.

The object that appeared in Fang Yi's spiritual consciousness was covered with a layer of short black hair, but the hair on his head was white, and a pair of golden claws were firmly slapped on the tree trunk. It was about one meter long, with a little black hair on his face, looking like a monkey, but his eyes were closed and his ears were constantly shaking.

"Is Wuliang Tianzun, is it a monkey?"

Although Fang Yi had never seen a monkey with golden claws, the monster's appearance was really the same as a monkey, but it seemed to have a fast eye and was always closed, looking very strange.

"Is this thing a red-butt monkey?"

Fang Yi's heart moved. He had never entered school since he was a child, but the miscellaneous books that Fang Yi had read were far from comparable to those students who received traditional education. After seeing the appearance of this monster clearly, a noun popped up in Fang Yi's mind.

The red-butt horse monkey first appeared in the "Shan Hai Jing". The "Shan Hai Jing" describes it as "its shape is like a monkey, with golden eyes and snow teeth, light and sharp." In the "Shan Hai Jing", the red-butt horse monkey is also called Wu Zhiqi.

According to legend, when Dayu was in charge of Huai River, Wu Zhiqi was defeated by Dayu because of his evil deeds and locked in the Huai River. This is the famous story of "Yu King Locking the Dragon". To this day, there is still the "Zhiqi Well" on the edge of the Huai River.

In the Ming Dynasty, Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" also described the red-butt horse and monkey, which is the Monkey King Sun Wukong who is known to everyone now. In terms of image, Sun Wukong is the copycat horse and monkey. It can be seen that Wu Chengen was probably a person who was familiar with the "Shan Hai Jing" back then.

"Is it possible that the red-butt monkey uses her ears to identify my position?"

Fang Yi turned his mind sharply, and stood still, while closing all the aura in his body. In this way, Fang Yi was like a stone. If he hadn't stood in front of him, even a cultivator of the same level as him would be difficult to discover Fang Yi's existence through his breath.

Sure enough, after Fang Yi stopped moving, the monster suspected of a red-butt monkey on the tree began to become anxious. The frequency of the ears that were slightly smaller than human ears also increased a little, and the closed eyes were constantly trembling, as if they could open at any time.

Seeing that he touched the shortcomings of the red-butt monkey, Fang Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The monster's ghostly movement made Fang Yi very afraid. If he could not find its trace, Fang Yi would have to be in a passive situation.

Although Fang Yi subconsciously felt that this red-butt monkey was very different from the legendary red-butt monkey in "Shan Hai Jing", Fang Yi did not dare to relax at all, and his spiritual consciousness was even tightly locked on the monster.

His brain flew around, Fang Yi was thinking about how to solve this red-butt monkey. It was unnecessary to think about it. This red-butt monkey must be part of the trial, but Fang Yi couldn't understand that even the spirit of this secret realm had become unsightly because of the long time. Why can this red-butt monkey survive until now?

His eyes drooped slightly, Fang Yi looked at the ground, and he found that there was a stone the size of a fist on his toes. Fang Yi suddenly came from his heart, and his toes suddenly lifted the stone. Almost at the same time as the stone was lifted, the monster locked by Fang Yi's spiritual sense instantly turned into a afterimage.

The monster that can present afterimages in the spiritual consciousness shows how fast the action is. However, Fang Yi, who had expected it, waved his right hand holding the broken blade directly when he could not lock in the monster. This was Fang Yi's action based entirely on his feelings.

The broken blade obtained by Fang Yi from the secret realm in Cambodia was only a few inches long and could not be held with his hands at all. He could only hold it with two fingers. But although the broken blade was extremely short, when Fang Yi infused his true energy, a sword light that was more than two meters long appeared at the front end of the broken blade.

Just as Fang Yi swung the broken blade, the red-butt monkey on the tree jumped down. Although its movement was extremely fast, when it fell, it happened to meet the blade's broken blade's sword light. Fang Yi only heard a slight sound from his ears, and the monster was already in a different place.

"Damn it, if I didn't have this weapon, I wouldn't be able to solve it." Fang Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. His actions just now made him almost infused with all his energy. Seeing the monster giving the head, Fang Yi felt that all the strength in his body was exhausted.

"Hey, why is there no blood splashing out?"

Before Fang Yi could breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered something was wrong. The monster that he had cut into two pieces did not show any blood. Looking down, Fang Yi found that the monster's body was slowly fading.

"What's going on? Isn't it a substance?" Just when Fang Yi was unable to figure it out, a phantom suddenly overflowed from the body of the void monster, attached to Fang Yi's body, and instantly merged into Fang Yi's body.

"Hmm? This is mental power?"
