The game has come true, I have become a fairy in reality

Chapter 208: The road to seeking immortality is long and difficult. What you climb is not a ladder, but a threshold in your heart.

Lu Chen was not sure whether the heavenly aura he felt from the 'Step to Heaven' really existed or if it was his own illusion.

But no matter which one it is, it doesn't really matter.

Because of this long staircase to the sky, he must climb it.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately walked towards the long steps to the sky.

And just after he stepped onto the long steps to the sky, people around him saw Lu Chen's figure disappearing into a cloud of mist.

The others looked at each other in disbelief, and finally they all embarked on the long steps to the sky.

It was only after they set foot on it that they realized why the elders in their sect had said that there was no trick to ascending to the sky.

The first is cultivation. After embarking on this long step to reach the sky, everyone will feel that the cultivation in their bodies has disappeared and they have returned to the realm of mortals.

In this regard, even body cultivation is no exception.

The second thing is the number of people. There seems to be some kind of special formation on the long steps to the sky.

"Youdao means one day in the sky and one year on the earth. Although the situation in the Immortal Stage is not so exaggerated, the world inside is completely different from the outside world."

If he still had some cultivation, then Lu Chen would be able to complete this long step to the sky in just a few hours.

Every time I lifted it up, it was extremely difficult.

The only change he could feel was the length of the stairs behind him and the surrounding trees.

"If you stay inside for a month, it will only last for one day outside."

As soon as Lu Chen entered the immortal steps, he felt the familiar power of heaven again.

Finally... there is loneliness.

"If they can't cross this threshold, then they will never be able to cross this long step to the sky."

But no matter how difficult it is, Lu Chen will continue on this path.

"It is not an easy task to cross these ten thousand steps."

"The road to seeking immortality is long and difficult. Who can know what will happen along the way?"

"What they are climbing is not the ladder, but the threshold in their own hearts."

It's obviously a scene of birds singing and flowers fragrant, but everyone feels an inexplicable feeling of loneliness.

But after losing cultivation, this road becomes difficult.

It's okay for a short time, but once it gets long, it's hard for anyone to persist in such an environment.

It all depends on the disciples themselves.

In response, the surrounding Nascent Soul stage elders nodded silently.

And just after everyone set foot on the long steps to ascend to heaven, the Yuan Ying stage elders from the ten major sects in Zhongzhou also gathered together.

But apart from these, there was no other living thing around.

In this way, help from others is eliminated and you can only rely on your own strength.

Because everything is just as the Nascent Soul stage elder from Wushen Mountain said.

And in just this hour, he felt like he hadn't gone very far.

The Nascent Soul stage elder of Wushen Mountain heard this and said calmly: "Half a day."

Thinking of this, Lu Chen finally felt another difficulty in ascending to the Heavenly Stage.

Because the long steps above the head are still so endless.

At this moment, Lu Chen felt as if his legs were filled with lead.

So that everyone who sets foot here will be isolated from everyone else.

"It turns out that the method used to suppress the monks by ascending to the heavenly level is to regress their bodies back to before they started practicing..."

As soon as he thought about this, Lu Chen immediately walked towards the top of the mountain.

Therefore, there is no standard answer on how to spend it.

After about an hour, Lu Chen already felt tired.

After setting foot on the long steps to the sky, what comes into view is a dense mountain forest.

"But there should be some other powers of heaven in it. Otherwise, the first time I practiced cultivation was when I was fifteen years old, but my current body has not changed at all. It's just that my cultivation has been traced back to before I practiced."

And everyone's threshold is different.

He stopped temporarily and stood there to straighten himself up a bit.

"The Immortal's methods are really unpredictable. Even if it is just a cave that has been left for who knows how many years, it still has such terrifying power."

Dong Wanjun, the Nascent Soul stage elder of Yuxu Mountain, looked at the long steps to the sky and said, "How many days do you think the first person to give up will appear?"

"Besides, none of you here have ever climbed the stairs to the sky. You must all know what will happen inside."

After sighing with emotion, Lu Chen immediately walked towards the endless steps to the sky above his head.

At this moment, Lu Chen felt the fatigue that he had not seen for a long time.

This long step to ascend to immortality is not a ladder, but a threshold in the hearts of all the disciples.

That’s because it tempers people’s psyche a little too much.

After a slight repair, Lu Chen immediately walked up the long steps to the sky again.

After climbing for another hour, Lu Chen unexpectedly saw a mountain tea stall next to the long steps to ascend to immortality.

Is it a trap, or is it a place left by True Immortal Gu Yue for the trialists to rest?

Lu Chen stood outside the tea stall and thought for a long time.

In the end, he chose to follow his heart.

He decided to visit this tea stall.

Lu Chen came to the tea stall and saw an old man with gray hair who was still making tea.

Seeing Lu Chen's appearance, the old man smiled and said, "You must be preparing to go up the mountain to find immortals."

Lu Chen nodded and asked, "Have you met many other immortal seekers before?"

While making tea, the old man said: "My tea stall has been here since the beginning of the long steps to the sky. Do you think I have seen anyone else?"

The tone was so relaxed, as if an old man was chatting with him.

But Lu Chen knew very well that if this old man appeared on this long step to reach the sky, he must not be an ordinary person.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen asked, "Old man, how do you sell tea here?"

Hearing this, the old man smiled and said: "It's very simple. Answer me three questions, and then I will give you a drink."

"After all, you can't come up with money now, can you?"

Lu Chen looked at the storage bag that disappeared from his waist and the mountain and sea scroll that seemed to be sealed in his soul.

He knew that the other party was right. At the moment, he really couldn't come up with anything.

"Excuse me, old man."

"First question, do you think the immortal is an immortal or a human?"

Lu Chen was stunned because he didn't expect the old man to ask such a vague question.

And he just thought for a moment and roughly understood what the other party wanted to ask.

So after careful consideration, Lu Chen gave his answer: "It's a human being."

Seeing Lu Chen's serious expression, the old man asked his second question: "Which one do you think is more important, immortals or mortals?"

Lu Chen frowned, thought for a long time and said, "Look at the relationship between the two and me."

"understood."

The old man nodded, not showing whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with Lu Chen's answer.

In other words, the questions he asked never had any standard answers.

What he wants is different answers from different people when faced with these questions.

The old man took out some boiled tea water from the boiling iron pot and poured it into the teapot next to him, while asking the last question.

"What will you do if you can't seek immortality?"

This time, Lu Chen had almost no hesitation and replied, "Then let's ask another immortal."

The old man nodded, and then poured a cup of tea into the teacup in front of Lu Chen.

"Drink, I give this to you."

Lu Chen looked at the tea cup in front of him, thought for a moment and then picked it up and drank it.

Soon, Lu Chen felt sleepy coming over him.

When he woke up again, he was back outside the long steps to ascend to immortality.

But he wasn't the first person to be 'eliminated'.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, why are you out too?"

Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen who appeared at the foot of the Long Steps to Heaven and asked a little strangely.

After all, in her opinion, anyone could be sent out.

Only Lu Chen couldn't.

Because if even Lu Chen couldn't cross this long step to the sky, then it would be even more impossible for others.

After hearing Shangguan Yunmeng's words, Lu Chen asked, "What about you? Why did you come out?"

Shangguan Yunmeng tilted his head and said, "I don't know. I just felt tired from walking. When I saw a tea stall next to me, I went up to rest for a while."

"After answering the old man's three questions, I drank a cup of tea from him. After drinking it, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was here."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked curiously: "Then what did he ask you?"

Shangguan Yunmeng was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking for a long time, he said strangely: "Yes, what did he ask me? Why can't I remember it?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen was also surprised to find that he could not remember the conversation at the tea stall just now.

He only remembered that he went to the tea stall and the old man at the tea stall asked him three questions.

But now he can't remember what these three questions were or how he answered them.

But these are not important anymore. Lu Chen looked at the long staircase above his head and walked towards it again.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yunmeng next to him said strangely: "Fellow Daoist Lu, weren't you eliminated like me? Why are you still going to the long step to the sky?"

In response, Lu Chen said calmly: "Did someone say that this long step to the sky can only be challenged once?"

"what?!"

Shangguan Yunmeng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that no one seemed to have said that this long step to the sky could only be done once.

It was her own preconception that being sent out meant being eliminated.

Looking at Shangguan Yunmeng's confused expression, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Also, do you really think we went out?"

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Yunmeng felt that his head was a little hard to turn around.

What do you mean we really went out?

Isn't the surrounding area the same as the scene before they went up the mountain?

No, it seems a little different.

Before they came, they left the fairy boat and came to the Immortal Gathering Bell.

The surroundings of the Juxian Bell and the Long Stairway to the Sky were a vast sea of ​​white clouds, lacking reference points.

Therefore, this place is not only a place to take a short break on the long steps to the sky, but also a place to take a short rest on the long steps to the sky.

The reason why Shangguan Yunmeng felt that she was eliminated was just because she found that her cultivation level had recovered.

After all, it is the consensus of everyone that you cannot use your cultivation level within the Climb to Heaven level.

At this time, Lu Chen looked at the long steps to the sky above his head. He didn't know what he thought of, and said, "Actually, I was just thinking that our mountain climbing process is not the process of monks asking for immortality."

"If this long step to the sky is compared to the Tao, then what we have just done is to keep moving forward on this 'Tao'."

"No one said that you can't rest after seeking the truth, and no one said that there is only one way to seek the truth."

"After all, who can be sure that the path they are taking is the right one before they reach the end?"

"Although I can't remember the questions the old man asked me to answer at that time, I feel that those three questions should contain the path I want to take."

"The old man seems to be asking us, but actually we are asking ourselves, what is the path we want to take...?"

"If I'm not wrong, the first step to reach the sky should be the path of True Immortal Gu Yue."

"You can reach heaven by following his path, but how many people in this world can really complete his path?"

"Besides, what we seek is an immortal, not the next Gu Yue True Immortal."

"The next long step to the sky is our own path."

"Fellow Taoist Shangguan, I hope we can meet again at the top of the mountain."

In response, Shangguan Yunmeng nodded seriously, indicating that he understood.

After Lu Chen said this, he stepped onto the long steps to the sky again without looking back.

And this time, the sight of ascending to the sky in front of him... completely changed.

At the same time, Shangguan Yunmeng at the foot of the mountain looked at Lu Chen with a blank expression as he disappeared on the long steps to the sky again.

That expression looked like a student who couldn't understand in class.

Although Lu Chen just said a lot, Shangguan Yunmeng felt that he didn't understand much at all.

What is meant by the long steps to ascend to the sky at the beginning should be the path of Gu Yue True Immortal.

What does it mean that we are seeking to be immortals, not to become the next Gu Yue True Immortal?

She could understand every word Lu Chen said, but she couldn't understand them when they were put together.

But one good thing about Shangguan Yunmeng is that she mainly listens to advice.

Since Lu Chen said they were not eliminated, then they were not eliminated.

Someone as powerful as Lu Chen has entered the stage of ascending to the sky again, so he can just do the same!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yunmeng also stepped onto the long steps in front of him again.

Just like Lu Chen, the view of the long steps in front of her also changed.

Not long after the two left, several people appeared one after another where Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng appeared.

But some of these people chose to continue climbing the mountain.

Some people chose to go down the mountain.

And those who chose to go down the mountain soon arrived outside the real long steps to ascend to immortality.

Here, many people who have been truly eliminated have gathered.

And a large part of these people were actually teleported directly out because they were so tired that they fell into a coma on the original long steps to heaven.

And it is these people who have the heaviest resentment at the moment.

"What is True Immortal Gu Yue thinking? How can a mortal body cross these ten thousand steps without eating or drinking? Isn't it obvious that he doesn't want others to obtain his inheritance?"

"Yes, I feel that I have worked hard enough. I passed several tea stalls in the middle and I didn't stop. Instead, I kept insisting on walking. I was afraid that Immortal Gu Yue would think that my heart for seeking the truth was not firm."

"But even so, I still couldn't persist to the end."

"If I had known this, I might as well have gone to the tea stall to rest."

Not long after this person finished speaking, a person who went to the tea stall but was still eliminated couldn't help but said: "Don't talk about going to the tea stall to rest, the result of going to the tea stall is the same."

"I just went to the tea stall, drank the tea there, and was eliminated."

"what?"

After hearing this, the man's originally resentful expression finally eased.

It turns out that no matter whether he goes to the tea stall or not, the final result is the same, so he has a psychological balance.

But the person who had just answered him didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly grabbed his shoulder and asked: "Wait a minute, you just said that you were eliminated after being knocked into a coma from exhaustion, then where were you when you opened your eyes and woke up? "

The man was stunned for a moment, and then said subconsciously: "Where else could it be? It's right here."

As soon as these words came out, the monk who went to the tea stall didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly his face turned pale.

Then he grabbed his hair hard and said in a painful tone: "Wrong, we started on the wrong path."

"But Zhenxian gave us a choice, he let us choose, he let us choose, but we missed it again, missed it..."

After a while, as more and more people came out, after communicating with each other for a long time, everyone finally understood the relationship between the 'long step' and the 'tea stall' in the long step to the sky.

If the long steps are compared to 'Tao'.

Then what they boarded for the first time was actually Gu Yue Zhenxian's 'Tao'.

But although this path can be followed, it is still not something that ordinary people, especially mortals, can walk.

Therefore, on this 'road', there is a tea stall symbolizing 'choice'.

The tea stall means that the monks should stop and think about whether to continue walking towards the 'path' in front of them.

It also gives them a choice.

An opportunity to choose their own 'path'.

But the 'choice' appears, and not everyone can seize this opportunity.

Some people understand this and choose to continue up the mountain and follow their own path.

For example, Lu Chen.

Some people didn't understand, but she was lucky, someone told her the answer, and she did it.

For example, Shangguan Yunmeng.

There are also people who don’t believe in evil and take a chance, thinking what if they can try again?

For example, there are many people who are still climbing mountains at the moment.

And in the end, they are the ones who are eliminated.

Either they did not recognize themselves and stubbornly went further and further down the 'wrong' road, until they were exhausted and still did not reach the top of the mountain, and 'died' on the road.

Or after choosing to 'rest', I felt from the bottom of my heart that I was not good enough and did not have the courage to break the rules. I thought I was eliminated and chose to really go down the mountain.

This is the essence of ascending to the sky.

It has never been a test of a monk's 'perseverance'.

Rather, it tests the monk's 'mind', 'understanding', and 'luck'.

Those who dare to question the rules, regardless of good or bad, can enter the second long level.

Those who have outstanding understanding and can guess the essence can also enter the second long level.

Those who have neither but great luck can still enter.

The road to immortality is long and difficult.

A short break isn't necessarily a bad thing.

When you don't know what's right or wrong, being stubborn and moving forward is often the most fatal thing.

Because when a path reaches a certain point, you can no longer look back.

Those monks who didn't stop at all along the way, after missing the first three tea stalls.

There were only two results left for them.

One is a mortal who has reached the height that symbolizes the Gu Yue True Immortal.

Another one is being eliminated without any room for error.

This is what True Immortal Gu Yue wants to tell everyone with the help of this long step to reach the sky.

All laws in the world lead to the same destination through different paths.

Some people have walked to the sky, but that doesn't mean you can too.

What suits others may not suit you.

Sometimes it’s a good thing to stop, take a rest, and think about your future.
