"Why aren't you afraid of the dark?" the woman asked.
"Why should I be afraid of the dark?" Long Chen asked back.
The woman was stunned for a moment. She didn't seem to expect Long Chen to ask back. She continued to ask, "Then why do you like darkness?"
Long Chen didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "Because I'm used to the darkness, in a world full of despair, bullied and insulted, unable to resist, no one has pity on me, no one helps me, and no one is willing to accompany me.
Only the darkness never rejects me, no matter what grievances I suffer, it is willing to listen to me silently.
Even if the whole world abandons me, it will accompany me silently, it will never reject me, and its embrace will always be open to me.
When I didn't step into the path of cultivation, in my world, only darkness was my friend. In its embrace, I shed tears silently and healed my wounds. When I was strong enough, I would leave it and go all out.
It's my greatest comfort when I'm battered with scars because I know it's waiting for me.
It does so to me, why should I be afraid of it? Why can't I like it? "
The woman continued to ask, "You have experienced darkness and light, which one do you prefer?"
"I like it, and I don't like it either." Long Chen smiled bitterly.
"Then what do you think is the line between darkness and light?" the woman asked.
"There are no boundaries, there is light in the darkness, and there is darkness in the light." Long Chen responded.
"I see."
Hearing Long Chen's answer, there was a sudden look on the woman's face, as if she understood something.
She looked at Long Chen and said, "Your idea is right, there is no absolute black, no absolute white, no absolute goodness, and no absolute evil in this world.
But you have to remember that there is a boundary between black and white, and there is also a criterion between right and wrong.
And this boundary and criterion is like a judge, it can judge right and wrong, right and wrong. "
Long Chen shook his head and asked: "Can a judge really be selfless? Who can guarantee that its judgment is accurate?"
"It's about one thing, and that's the base of the scale, which is the basis for balancing all things.
Between black and white, between right and wrong, between good and evil, between movement and stillness, between visible and invisible, etc., in the middle of any opposing energy, there must be a balance base.
With your understanding of the human race, Dao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.
Heaven and earth generate yang, and yin regenerates; heaven and earth generate yin, and yang attaches to each other.
In this way, if there is yin, there will be yang, if there is life, there will be death, if there is good, there will be evil, if there is movement, there will be stillness, and if there is clarity, there will be turbidity.
But between yin and yang, life and death, good and evil, movement and stillness, and turbidity, there is a mysterious force that separates them. One and two are opposites, but with three, one and two begin to interact, and the two forces operate under the , the cycle goes back and forth, and then we have our world. " said the woman.
Long Chen's heart trembled, lightning flashed in his mind, as if he saw an unprecedented world.
"The balance is three. Combining two diametrically opposed forces, you can have the power of creation?" Long Chen's heart was beating wildly, and his voice trembled.
"Theoretically, this is the case, but in reality... I think too much, and the Dao is speechless. Anything that can be clearly explained with the mouth is not the real Dao.
The Dao in our mouths is just the ordinary way. If the real mysteries of heaven and earth are revealed, either the Nine Heavens will be destroyed, or the Ten Realms will be reborn. " said the woman.
"Thank you senior!"
Long Chen bowed respectfully to the woman, and the woman's words were equivalent to opening a window for him, and he saw an unprecedented world.
And Long Chen understands why the dragon powerhouse should let this woman enlighten him, this woman's realm is too high.
The woman nodded, her body turned into an endless flame and slowly disappeared, while Long Chen sat cross-legged in front of the gate, his hands slowly forming a seal.
"boom"
Long Chen's body was covered with golden scales, and the power of qi and blood erupted in an instant, and the energy of blood, qi, and bones was ignited, as if a volcano erupted.
The world that was originally dark because of the woman's departure was lit up again because of Long Chen.
…
In the tenth level, in the pitch-dark world, people gasped heavily, and they felt like their wills were about to collapse.
In the darkness, endless negative emotions constantly eroded them, and all the painful experiences reappeared in front of them, as if there was an invisible wall in front of them, blocking their way forward.
The wall was so desperately thick that there was no light, no hope, just endless despair.
At the beginning, Zhu Yunwen and others were still encouraging them, and they were able to persevere after listening to Zhu Yunwen and other princes and daughters boosting their morale.
Later, they couldn't hear anything except their own breathing and heartbeat. It seemed that they couldn't even sense the people around them. It was as if a person had been thrown into the abyss of death.
When they stepped on the tenth level, the tenth level, the power of darkness was stronger, because Long Chen was friendly to the power of darkness and could not sense it at all, but everyone was uncomfortable, even Zhu Yunwen and others began to appear. hallucinations.
Suddenly a bright light came, and they saw the door ahead, and through the crack of the door, they saw the golden light.
"It's Long Chen."
Yu Qingxuan shouted with excitement, and everyone cheered up all of a sudden, Long Chen was already waiting for them in front, and victory was in sight.
For a time, everyone cheered up again and rushed to the eleventh level. In this eleventh level, various sounds appeared. This was not an auditory hallucination, but a real sound, but everyone ignored it and focused on the light. Work hard.
"boom"
There was a sudden explosion, everyone exclaimed, the light disappeared, and the whole world fell into darkness again.
"puff"
Long Chen spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body actually cracked. In the endless darkness, Long Chen looked at his hands with a smile on his face:
"Hey, I found it, the power of blood, qi, and bones is tangible, while god, soul, and mind are tangible inside, and invisible outside.
The key to the Dragon God Body Refinement Technique is to balance the blending of visible power and invisible power. The power that can balance the two is the will, the base of the scale, and the third of the avenues. "
After resting for half an hour, Long Chen stopped drinking, his whole body glowed again, a divine light shot straight into the sky, and the loud dragon roar resounded throughout the Vermillion Bird space.
"buzz"
The dragon scales on Long Chen's body began to rhythm like breathing. The invisible power of the soul and the visible flesh and blood were blended together, and they were no longer separated from each other.
"Successful, successful!"
The dragon powerhouse roared excitedly, which was even more excited than Long Chen.
At the moment when Long Chen merged the invisible power and the tangible power, he felt that it suddenly swelled and was about to burst.
"Cloud Dragon Offering Claws"
Long Chen roared and slapped the door with a claw. If he didn't release his power, he would explode and die.
"boom"
With a loud bang, the huge door on that side was smashed by Long Chen's claw, and under the distortion of space, Long Chen and others appeared in the palace again.
"We... come out?"
Zhu Yunwen and others couldn't believe their eyes, they actually completed the trial.
"Very good, you finally came out, hurry up to the battlefield, Suzaku is in a big crisis."
Everyone just came out, only to hear an old voice.
