When I was a Taoist

Chapter 660 Don't Relax
I lay on the ground like a dead dog for an unknown amount of time, and when my strength recovered a bit, I stood up staggeringly, looked at Shangguanmu at the side with a smile, and said, "Senior, I succeeded!" Yes, it would be embarrassing if you didn’t explain it to us.”

"Little guy, it's too early to say success. This is just my first test for you, and now you barely have the qualifications to step on these ladders. Only by breaking through these nine hundred and nine hundred and ninety-nine Only when we climbed the stairs and climbed to the Samsung Cave, can we pass our test."

That voice came slowly, and my heart couldn't help trembling. The first test almost broke me. Then, can I survive the next 1 steps?
"Why, your face seems a little flustered, do you want to get cold feet?"

The voice was mixed with sarcasm, and he said slowly: "I must tell you in advance, if you choose to move forward, there is absolutely no chance of retreating. Either you can reach the top of the mountain, or you will be smashed to pieces. So you have to think carefully, what is it like Live like an ant, and let Shangguanmu completely lose your right-hand man. You should do your best to seize the last chance."

At this time Shangguanmu also came over, patted my shoulder and said: "The rest is your own choice, no matter what decision you make, I will not blame you. This is your own destiny , should be your own choice, and you should also be responsible for it.”

After finishing speaking, Shangguanmu stepped back and quietly waited for my choice.

To be honest, after experiencing the previous torture, I subconsciously fear their methods.The first test almost made me collapse, and the difficulty of the next challenge may exceed my imagination.But I understand better that if I shrink back, even if I can spend the next half of my life safely, I will be living under the protection of others.More importantly, I can no longer fulfill those wishes and promises.

Parents, master, family, these mysteries that haunt me will never have a chance to be solved.If you have to give up these things to live, then I would rather give up this way of living!

Thinking of this, I raised my head to look at the clouds above my head, and said, "Senior, I believe that I can step on these steps. So if there are any tests, just come."

"Your way of doing this can at most not disappoint us, but it still can't surprise us. A real genius is definitely not gaining fame by empty words, but by his own ability. Now you are in a bad state, Let's start again after you recover."

After speaking, the voice disappeared completely.And I sat directly on the ground, trying to recover my exhausted physical strength.I have to say that this place is a paradise for those who practice Taoism. Even if I don't have any magic power, I can absorb a kind of cold power from the surroundings to nourish my body and recover my strength at an extremely fast speed.One night passed, and by dawn, my state had returned to its peak.What even surprised me was that there was a weak magic power flowing in my body.Even if it's just a little bit, it's a huge help to me.

It is no exaggeration to say that if I have enough time, I am afraid that I will be able to break through the seal in my body after practicing here for decades.

Taking a deep breath, I stood up and stretched my waist, exhaled the turbid air in my chest, and said loudly: "Please enlighten me, seniors!"

"There are no specific requirements for your test, you just need to walk through these 1 steps. Remember not to back down, otherwise you will fall directly into the abyss, and you will never be reincarnated."

As soon as the words fell, I found that the ground behind me began to collapse rapidly, and there was a bottomless black hole underneath, as if it could swallow everything.Now I don't have time to think about whether these are illusions created by them, so I hurriedly stepped on the first floor of the stairs.

"boom!"

As soon as I stepped on it, a thunderbolt fell from the sky again.But this time the thunder light didn't hit me in front of me, but landed firmly on my body!

"Buzz!"

Compared with ordinary people, my physique is much stronger now. If I am hit by a lightning strike abruptly, I will also turn into a pile of coke.But this time after the thunder light landed on me, I only felt that my head was blank, and there were constant buzzing sounds in my ears.Streams of blue-purple light like thin snakes crazily flowed through my body, stimulating every cell and every muscle in me, like countless steel needles piercing my body time and time again.For a moment, a terrible thought flashed through me, that I should just choose a more decisive way, because I don't want to endure such torture anymore.

Fortunately, my sanity quickly recovered, but the severe pain in my body still exists, and it is still getting worse.Only then did I realize that the thunder light here is not as powerful as it is in reality, but a kind of spiritual deterrence, which will not cause any harm to the body.In other words, if I don't make it through, my spirit will collapse and this body will become a walking dead.

"Isn't it just about how tenacious the spirit is? I have never given up on this point."

I gritted my teeth, tried my best to abandon the ever-present severe pain in my body, and tried my best to lift my feet, wanting to step on the next step.But every time I want to move my feet, the thunder light above my head will become more violent, as if it is specially trying to stop me from moving forward.

"Don't think that this method can stop me, the limit I can bear is still very early!"

I let out a roar in my heart, gritted my teeth and rushed straight up the second ladder.In an instant, the continuous thunder above the head disappeared instantly, and everything returned to calm.Only the pain in my body and mental exhaustion prove that everything just now is not illusory.

"It's just that the first floor is so difficult. It seems that if you want to climb to the top of the mountain, I'm afraid you really have to risk your life." I couldn't help but smiled bitterly, sitting on the steps to recover my strength.Although it is too time-consuming to go up the mountain this way, I have no other choice.

"Dazhi, these are all illusions set up by the predecessors. What you see is not real, but it can indeed have a mental impact on you. Don't relax. If you are not careful, you The spirit of the soul will be lost in these illusions."

When Shangguanmu's reminder came, I turned my head and grinned at him, and said, "Don't worry, senior, I have gone through so many hardships, and I will definitely not fall down here."
