Taoist Master of Fantasy World

Chapter 19 Nine Tong Tian Qu

Xu Zhenyun went down to the fourth floor.

The ripples dissipated and the line of sight became clear. Xu Zhenyun stood on a wide loess avenue.

A total of nine seven-foot-wide void plank roads extend from the deep sky on the opposite side, slowly decreasing in height, and finally converge on the loess avenue in front of Xu Zhenyun.

The width of the nine plank roads when brought together is exactly the same as the loess avenue in front of them.

On the nine plank roads, the golden-armored guards lined up one after another, approaching him at a neither fast nor slow speed.Just like nine "production lines", the Golden Armor Guards are the "products" on the production line, which are finally piled up in front of him.

The nine "production lines" are so deep and far away that you can't see the end of them. The total number of golden-armored guards on them must be staggering.

Fortunately, the golden-armored guards did not walk very fast. Even if they fought, it would be a "fueling tactic" and not an extreme siege.

"Is it the golden armored guard again?"

"No, according to the rules, this level is not a white-bone demon, but at least a female warrior with a hot figure, right?"

Xu Zhenyun gave full play to his expertise as a problem solver in a small town and asked himself that he had thoroughly understood the title of "Liuhe Linglong Tower".

The first level "Three Questions of Stone Lions" is the outline.

The second layer of "True Fantasy Qingyang Wall" is the first of the three questions of the investigation.

The third level of the "Great Beidou Formation" is the second of the three inspection questions.

Then this fourth level should be about examining the last question - the persistence of the "ruthless" or "sentimental" Taoist heart.

Should I adhere to the "ruthless" way and watch the world with a cold eye despite the countless storms? Or should I follow the "affectionate" way and cry when I cry and laugh when I laugh, and when my heart is in full bloom, I smile to myself and treat all living beings?

Xu Zhenyun's choice was "the ruthless Dao". He originally thought it was a sexy drama like the Four Saints testing their Zen hearts, or even the seven spider spirits in Pansi Cave.

What kind of tricks can these wooden-like golden-armored guards come out with?
Xu Zhenyun put away his doubts; because the enemy was already close.

In the midst of his busy schedule, he looked up and saw that the stone tablet recording the number of people who had passed the border was standing a hundred feet away.

I have no time to read the contents on the monument.

The sky suddenly darkened, and the air was filled with blood.

The nine golden-armored guards walking at the front suddenly shouted "Ha!" "Ha!" when they were five feet away from Xu Zhenyun, and then turned into a trot, then into a sprint!
From being as slow as a mecha to being like a living person with blood pumping, he turned around in an instant!

All the golden-armored guards did not wear masks, but their appearance was just like the "gold-armored leader" from the previous level, with clear and vivid faces.

Although the battle in the previous level was fierce, it still had a distinct "trial" flavor; but the atmosphere of this level suddenly changed, and Xu Zhenyun seemed to be transformed into a battlefield, deeply entangled in hatred, blood, courage and death.

Without any pressure, Xu Zhenyun pulled out the iron rod and rushed in like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

"boom"!
A hit, followed by a scream.

The combat effectiveness of the golden-armored guards on the opposite side was significantly inferior to that of the 49 people in the Seven-Star Formation.With just one blow in front of him, the Tianling Cap of a golden-armored guard was broken.

Xu Zhenyun unexpectedly touched his cheek, which was warm and moist; blood and brain matter spattered on his body.

This is the feeling of real "killing"!

From the trial style to the realistic style, the change is extremely clear.

Not long after, when Xu Zhenyun killed thirty or forty golden-armored guards, the loess avenue was dyed bright red.

Xu Zhenyun was covered in blood.

Broken limbs and remains were scattered everywhere.

At this time, it can be analyzed that the tester is required to maintain a mental state consistent with his or her "Tao heart".

Those who choose the "ruthless" way are like cold killers at this moment, with a complete heart as stone.

Those who choose the path of "love" will now transform into heroes of Yan and Zhao, singing and fighting against the enemy!

Is it difficult?

No difficulty at all...

This level should be the easiest after the first level.

The blood on the corpse in front of him gradually gathered and concentrated at Xu Zhenyun's feet.

At the same time, the sound of howling of the dead seemed to be heard in my ears, one after another, which was extremely shocking to people's hearts.

But Xu Zhenyun maintains his cool and handsome style, unmoved by all winds and as strong as iron!
……

Not sure how much time had passed, Xu Zhenyun suddenly raised his head and saw the golden-armored soldier falling in front of him, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

He struck down with his stick and only cracked his skull, but he didn't kill him all at once!

After checking his own status, Xu Zhenyun was shocked.

My own spirit has actually become a little sluggish. Although on the surface, I maintain the ruthless mode of "Tao heart is as iron", I am actually very fragile.Deep in the soul, various emotions such as fatigue, irritability, and excitement are already hidden, and it is almost on the verge of collapse.

Together with its own actual combat capabilities, it has also been greatly weakened.

Looking back for a moment, Xu Zhenyun immediately understood - it was the impact of the environment!
There is a river of blood here, and the extremely tragic real scenes have an inexplicable force that corrodes everyone's soul in a seemingly slow but irreversible process until they collapse... much more powerful than the White Bone Demon!

The "heartless heart" is about to be lost!

Until then, Xu Zhenyun suddenly discovered that the second, third and fourth levels of Liuhe Linglong Tower were clearly in a progressive relationship.

The second level of "True Illusion Qingyang Wall" is the easiest. Once the mystery is revealed and you know what to do, it is almost impossible to miss.

The difficulty of the third level of the "Great Beidou Formation" has increased because the "cheating" link of the golden-armored leader has been added. At that critical moment, the probability of being tricked is very high!
The fourth level is the most difficult right now - because you clearly know what to do, but you just can't do it due to limited abilities!
Xu Zhenyun was secretly anxious, and he clearly felt that he was on the verge of mania.

But "anxiety" itself is also contrary to the "heartless heart"; the more anxious you are, the more you will accelerate your loss of control!

Just when his strength was extremely weak, Xu Zhenyun suddenly felt a chill coming from the depths of his soul.

There is a hidden thing in my body, and its sense of existence suddenly increases; and my spirit quickly collapses, and is about to die.This feeling is somewhat similar to when the answer is extracted by the power of the stone lion's purple eyes "directly pointing at the heart", but it is ten times stronger!
Xu Zhenyun was shocked and vaguely guessed what was going on——

"It turns out there was no real fusion? The soul of the original owner is still there!? Is it going to be reversed!?"

A strong sense of crisis arose in my heart, heavy and desperate.

On his wedding night, facing the banshee and challenging the secret realm of Liuhe Linglong Tower, Xu Zhenyun could still remain calm, and at worst, he would have to give it a try.

But now, he feels deeply powerless, because his spirit is rapidly falling into the swamp of silence. He feels all this happening very clearly, but there is nothing he can do!

"What will he say... Damn time traveler, come back to me? I, Hu Hansan, no, I, 'Xu Zhenyun', am back?"

And...is my soul still there?

Should he go back to his hometown on earth and continue school; or should he turn into a lonely ghost?Or is it completely wiped out?

At the last moment, Xu Zhenyun's thoughts were released and fully divergent, just like a person on the verge of death, looking back on his life at the end...

I don’t know how many minutes have passed.

"what?"

"fine?"

My consciousness is still... Xu Zhenyun was stunned and couldn't believe it.

He suddenly discovered: Although his mental power had been suppressed to the deepest level, he was still the one who dominated this body?
How is this going?

Xu Zhenyun sensed it repeatedly and finally discovered the reason.

The soul of the original owner has indeed become dominant again, but his "soul" is just a majestic energy, which contains spiritual force, personality imprints, past experiences, knowledge reserves, values, etc., but these are "hidden" ” category does not have an active “explicit” existence.

In layman's terms, it is an invisible soul without subjective consciousness, a vegetative state in the soul.

Unless guided by a force similar to that of a stone lion that "points directly to the heart" and can form a strong conditioned reflex, the original owner's soul will always exist in a passive form and will be compatible with his own soul, regardless of each other.

No matter which soul dominates the body, the conscious part is still the only one——

I am still the master of "me"!

After a sudden turn of events, Xu Zhenyun felt sincere joy in his heart.

This joy is even better than receiving the special recommendation qualification and the three yellow leaf paper rewards!

This is the difference between being a great success and being the icing on the cake...

Not only that, Xu Zhenyun suddenly found that his mental condition seemed to have recovered a lot! ?
Yup!

After the original owner's "soul" took over the body, Xu Zhenyun's own soul curled up and hid deep, and he immediately got a chance to breathe; as the soul power recovered, Xu Zhenyun's "heartless heart" was also quickly repaired.

The battle continues.

In the past two hours or so, the original owner's "soul" had gradually become exhausted.

Although he has no subjective consciousness, and his "heartless heart" can only be triggered by a force that "directly targets his heart"; this does not mean that "his" Taoist heart will not be injured.

When the accumulation of rage, restlessness, numbness, etc. inside this "soul" exceeds a certain threshold, the potential "ruthless Taoist heart" will still be broken.

But at this moment, Xu Zhenyun felt that his soul was rising and high; the original owner's tired soul was shrinking and converging.

The two sides completed the substitution again.

Repeat this three times.

Xu Zhenyun uses the method of resting alternately between two souls to always maintain a "ruthless" state of mind.

The battle lasted six hours.

Finally, after knocking down the last golden-armored guard, everything returned to peace.

Countless corpses and hundreds of miles of blood rivers on the ground disappeared in an instant.

Xu Zhenyun suddenly looked up and found that the stone tablet was right in front of him.

I glanced at the stone tablet and saw the words:

On the fourth floor of Liuhe Linglong Tower, there were 540 participants and 550 passers.

Followed by a line of small words.

"Tip: Nine-way road to heaven, the most difficult thing in the world is nothing more than knowing it is easier than doing it."

Xu Zhenyun was filled with emotion and joy.

This level was indeed very difficult, and [-]% of the people were screened out at once; only about [-] people could make it to the fifth level.

My two souls alternated back and forth three times before I could pass; these more than 500 people are all macho men...

Pity……

"When I was outside in the real world, I didn't feel the existence of two souls in my body at all; it seemed that as a time traveler, I had completely integrated with the original owner; I didn't expect that I could be decomposed here..."

"The reason seems to be that when one of the souls declines too much and the two cannot form a balance, they will fragment and fission, and the stronger soul will dominate."

"After I return to the outside world, if I have a 'mental breakdown' again, will this phenomenon happen again?"

"Will this be one of my trump cards?"

Xu Zhenyun thought secretly.

At this moment, the entire "Nine Tong Tian Qu" completely disappeared.

Xu Zhenyun returned to the fourth floor of Liuhe Linglong Tower.
