Intense rays of light suddenly shot out from the third floor space, so dazzling that people could barely open their eyes.
The vast sky, clear sky, boundless as far as the eye can see.
"No way, this illusion is so wonderfully done? There is no flaw at all!" Standing at the door, Qingxuan glanced at the surrounding scenery and let out a sound of admiration.
After she signed the blood contract with Ye Zifeng, the vigilance in her heart gradually calmed down, and she didn't have to spend all her energy on the struggle between the two.
"Then maybe, this isn't an illusion?"
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly, and the divine light in his eyes withdrew from the vast sky.
"What?" Qingxuan froze for a moment, feeling a little dazed.
Ye Zifeng was noncommittal, and said with a light smile: "If you don't believe me, Qingxuan, try using your ability, can you absorb part of this space?"
After being reminded by him, Qingxuan came back to her senses and nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
She used the exercises, white mist enveloped her body, the bone-piercing cold air slowly overflowed, as if a stream of air had found a focus, it began to gather toward Qingxuan.
"Look, isn't this possible..."
The corner of Qingxuan's mouth curled into a smile, just when she was about to calm down and absorb it.
However, suddenly, the breath disappeared! The process of absorbing space also came to an abrupt end!
"How could this be?" Qing Xuan's smile froze on the spot, and she looked at Ye Zifeng in astonishment, as if she was petrified.
Ye Zifeng didn't answer her question directly, he took a step forward, then bent down and picked up a leaf on the ground.
His face was extremely calm, and he said slowly: "The illusion on the first floor of Tianji Palace is to stop us, to see if we have the qualifications to realize the strength of the Tao; the illusion on the second floor is to let us fall into an illusion, to see our Whether the mind will be controlled by it, unable to extricate itself; as for this third layer... "
"How about the third floor?" Qingxuan hurriedly asked.
Ye Zifeng's fingertips suddenly ignited a ball of fire, which burned the leaf to ashes, then turned around, walked back to Qingxuan's side, and smiled slightly.
"The third floor, it's not an illusion in the true sense, nor even a reality in the true sense. This is just... a space specially opened up for enlightenment!"
Before Ye Zifeng entered the Palace of Heavenly Secrets, he paid special attention to the fact that the roof of this palace is closed, and it is absolutely impossible to see the sky, so this place cannot be reality; however, this space follows the laws of reality, stepping into There is no change between this area and stepping out of this area, so it cannot be regarded as an illusion in the full sense.
"It's not an illusion, but it's not reality either..." Qing Xuan was startled when she heard the words, and repeated Ye Zifeng's words, and scanned the surrounding situation, her expression still a little dazed.
Even if that is the case, then what should she do? As for enlightenment, she was still a little helpless.
"Okay, don't be dazed, something is coming." Ye Zifeng suddenly turned up his face and said.
Qingxuan froze for a moment, raised her head and looked around, feeling a little dazed.
"where?"
"It's right under our feet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zifeng's expression suddenly became condensed, and he flew towards the nearest tree with the Wind King dagger in his hand, then retracted the golden thread, and fled from the place where he was standing just now at an extremely fast speed.
However, Qingxuan did not have such a magic weapon as the Wind King's Dagger, and when she noticed something strange, she was a little too late.
From where they were standing, a huge stone turtle broke through the ground, and the majestic aura radiated out as if it were real.
Among them, a strong wind hit Qingxuan's arm, and a blood-red gash was cut open! Blood fell from the sky!
"Ah..." She let out a soft cry, and finally she was quite sensitive, so she hurriedly avoided, otherwise, as long as the spiritual energy got closer, it might directly remove her entire arm.
"How can there be monsters on the third floor of Tianji Palace?"
At this moment, she jumped away, and when she came back to her senses, a look of blame flashed across her pretty face: "And Ye Zifeng, you know there is danger, why didn't you take me with you just now?"
Ye Zifeng faced her from a distance, with a smile on his lips: "In the blood contract, it doesn't seem to mention that I want to protect your life, right?"
"You!" Although Qingxuan felt anxious, she couldn't accuse him of anything.
After all, what he said was not bad.
The two of them decided to work together to realize the Tao, but they don't need to be responsible for each other's life. Ye Zifeng obviously wouldn't change his principles just because she was a beautiful woman.
Because this is the third floor of Tianji Palace, even he can't handle it with ease!
"Okay, don't argue with me, the enemy is at hand." Ye Zifeng smiled slightly.
Seeing that the stone tortoise seemed about to attack again, Qingxuan's face darkened: "What should I do? This stone tortoise is not easy to deal with."
Although the speed of this stone turtle is not fast, its skin is rough and its flesh is thick. Occasionally, a strong wind blows, and its damage is extraordinary.
Ye Zifeng raised his face: "Have you forgotten what I said, this is the space created for enlightenment, whether you flee or fight, it will affect the final enlightenment of you. So, what to do, You make up your own mind."
He looked around the surrounding scenery, his eyes gradually became deeper: "Because... Enlightenment has already begun..."
Seeing that he showed a mature look that didn't match his age, Qingxuan's mind flickered, and then she slowly said: "Is... is this really the case? If so, I've decided, let's fight."
Immediately, she stared at the stone turtle closely, the aura gathered in her palms, and her face became particularly solemn.
"Ye Zifeng, you should cover me later and help me get close to that stone turtle... Ye Zifeng, Ye Zifeng? Are you listening to me?"
"Well, I'll listen, you continue to talk." Ye Zifeng closed his eyes, feeling the abundant aura in this wonderful space.
This is not an illusion, but a place that is better than an illusion. The aura of the cultivator contained in it is naturally unique and refreshing. If it wasn't for the awakening of talent, Ye Zifeng would have taken the Quick Cultivation Pill to practice hard.
Qingxuan glared at him a little angrily: "The enemy is in front of you, what aura do you still have the time to feel? Do you think your life is too long?"
Ye Zifeng laughed long and loudly: "Of course not, I won't take my own life as a joke. However, this stone turtle is not a warlike creature, once we leave his territory, he will naturally not take the initiative Striking out against us."
Qing Xuan stared blankly, raised her head, and looked at the stone turtle from afar, just as Ye Zifeng said, it just glared at her side without any other movements.
Since the other party will not attack him, why should he take the initiative to provoke him.
"So, you were playing tricks on me just now!" She quickly understood, her pretty face full of anger.
"No, I didn't trick you. As I said just now, this third layer of space is the space for enlightenment. Every choice we make may affect the way we realize. Are you running or fighting? There is a difference between passively responding to a fight or taking the initiative to fight." Ye Zifeng said with a slight smile.
"Is that so..." Qingxuan was stunned for a while, and nodded as if she had realized something.
Without Ye Zifeng's existence, she might be able to realize the Dao, but she definitely wouldn't think as much as the other party, let alone choose her own Dao on her own initiative.
At this time, she didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky to meet Ye Zifeng.
"Then, if I want to understand the Dao Nian of fighting, do I have to take the initiative to fight every time?" Qingxuan pondered for a moment, then asked with a little doubt.
Ye Zifeng smiled and shook his head: "It's not that simple. Do you still remember that Master Lefeng said that if you force too much, you will fail to realize the Tao and fall into a demon. This kind of situation is not uncommon."
Qingxuan was slightly taken aback: "This..."
Her thoughts gradually drifted away, her red lips parted slightly, and she murmured: "I remember you asked him, after falling into a demon, if he attacked others in chaos, what would happen to him?"
She was shocked in her heart: "I understand! Could it be that you, Ye Zifeng, had already thought about it at that time, did you want to force enlightenment?"
"That's right." Ye Zifeng nodded with a smile, then suddenly raised his head, looking at the clear blue sky, his eyes sparkled.
"Opportunities and risks always coexist. For the way you want, you don't have to force it. The key is to grasp this degree!"
…
As soon as this remark came out, even Daoist Le Feng couldn't help but change his face.
He started to use his insight talent, carefully observed Ye Zifeng.
"How is it, Master Lefeng?" Fairy Feng frowned, and took a deep look at the other party.
Daoist Lefeng sighed a long time and said: "This Ye Zifeng is indeed a genius. With his comprehension, it is really possible to succeed in realizing the Dao in a few days. The Dao of Vientiane in the third dimension, he It seems to have been seen."
"The way of everything?" Fairy Feng was a little puzzled since it was her first visit to the Palace of Heavenly Secrets.
"That's right, there is a way in everything, it is all-encompassing, and it is the way of all things. In three days, this space itself will make a comprehensive evaluation based on its own judgment and the unique performance of the entrant, and integrate a certain kind of Taoism. Entering into their minds is equivalent to making them enlightened successfully."
Fairy Feng was startled: "This..." She had just heard about such a mysterious thing.
Master Le Feng continued to sigh: "It's a pity, I don't know what Ye Zifeng is thinking, it seems that he is a little clever, and he even signed some kind of blood contract with Zhao Lao's disciples, and gave her the opportunity to enlighten Dao, in my opinion Come on, this approach is really stupid! Does he think that talent is such an easy thing to awaken?"
"Then... Reverend Lefeng, I would venture to ask, how did you awaken your insight talent back then?" A look of curiosity flashed in Fairy Feng's beautiful eyes.
