The path to conscience
A test of your faith
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed. Judging from the three words on the stone wall, this long staircase should be a test of the practitioner's Dao heart. However, so far, no practitioner has stepped onto the stairs. No one knows whether the Dao Heart Path is life-threatening.
"Eight-star Martial Master mid-stage!"
From the direction of Xuantian Continent, the man in gorgeous clothes who was leading the group said calmly.
"Early stage of Eight-Star Martial Master." The beautiful woman from the Moon Goddess World said calmly.
Seeing this, Lu Yan from Xingdou Continent hurriedly said, "Seven-star Martial Master Peak!"
"Are they planning to send someone to test and test Qu Xinlu?" Upon hearing this, Yang Qi's expression changed slightly.
Several other teams arrived here before them, but no team was willing to embark on the path of self-examination first. In this situation, each team could only send out one cultivator to explore the way. What the leaders of several cultivation worlds talked about was the strength of the cultivators they sent out.
"Late stage of Seven-Star Martial Master." Duan Yue from the Cliff World said calmly.
Yanfeng said in a deep voice, "Middle stage of Seven-Star Martial Lord!"
Immediately, each team selected the practitioners who were going to try the path of self-questioning.
“You all need to be in the middle stage of Seven-Star Martial Lord. Who is willing to go?” Yan Feng’s gaze fell on several practitioners in the middle stage of Seven-Star Martial Lord in the team, including three practitioners from Zichen Continent.
"I do!"
"Me too!"
As soon as Yan Feng finished speaking, people from the Giant Rock World and the Zichen Continent actually volunteered to go.
"this… "
Seeing this scene, Yang Qi couldn't help but be stunned. Going to the Road of Self-Examination to explore the way would be an extremely dangerous thing. After all, no one knew the situation of the Road of Self-Examination. Although it was very likely to be a test of one's heart, it didn't mean that there would be no risk to one's life!
Knowing that it is extremely dangerous to test the Road of Questioning the Heart, there are still people who take the initiative to go there, and they are two practitioners in the middle stage of Seven-Star Martial Master. You have to know that the higher the level of cultivation, the less likely you are to encounter danger. This is why Lu Yan from the Star Dou Continent rushed to get the spot at the peak of Seven-Star Martial Master.
It would be very dangerous to try to explore the path of the heart with the cultivation level of a mid-stage Seven-Star Martial Lord!
Chu Hong, who was standing by, saw that Yang Qi was a little stunned, and couldn't help but explain in a low voice, "Although the first cultivator to try the Path of Inquiry may be in the greatest danger, at the same time, if they can pass it, the opportunity they get may also be the best."
Danger and opportunity coexist, especially in the face of such an unknown situation, the cultivation of the Seven Star Martial Honored in the middle stage is basically at the bottom of the list in this entry into the secret realm. Unless it is an opportunity that the entire team can obtain, otherwise the opportunity obtained by relying on individual strength is basically out of their reach.
In such a situation, one can only seek wealth and honor in danger, and this time when people are needed to explore the way is naturally the best opportunity, because there are fewer people competing, so they have a chance. Although it is dangerous, once there is a harvest, it will be huge.
"In that case, you can go." Yan Feng pondered for a moment, and finally his eyes fell on the cultivator from Zichen Continent who spoke first.
"Yes!" The cultivator's face lit up when he heard that.
This person is from a superpower in the Holy Empire. The Holy Empire has two superpowers that are comparable to the royal family, and there are many open and secret struggles. An empire has only so many resources, and the royal family and the Holy See of Light take up most of them, so naturally there are fewer resources allocated to other superpowers. It is precisely because of this that, except for the royal family and the Holy See of Light of the Holy Empire, the strength of other cultivation forces is relatively weak.
There are three mid-stage Seven-Star Martial Venerable practitioners in Zichen Continent, two of whom are from the Holy Empire, and the remaining one is from the Blood Demon Sect. Originally, the Blood Demon Sect had a late-stage Seven-Star Martial Venerable practitioner, but that person turned out to join the Corpse God Sect and had defected long ago, so the Blood Demon Sect had no choice but to send out this mid-stage Seven-Star Martial Venerable practitioner.
Although going forward to explore the way may represent a huge opportunity, the danger is also not small. If no one from the Zichen Continent takes the initiative to go, Yanfeng naturally cannot force them. However, since someone has volunteered, Yanfeng does not want the practitioners on his side to take risks.
The situation was similar for the other teams. Except for the Moon Goddess World and Xuantian Continent, which sent out their own practitioners, both the Star Dou Continent and the Cliff World sent out practitioners from other cultivation worlds who joined later.
Five figures came to the stairs and immediately stepped onto them.
"Safety!"
“No discomfort!”
As five figures stepped onto the stairs, the voices of five people were heard, and then they stepped onto the second staircase. However, what was strange was that this second staircase was also safe.
"The sixth step is safe!"
"The seventh step is safe."
The five figures walked farther and farther away, and soon reached the ninth step.
"A little bit uncomfortable."
"Nothing serious for now."
Several voices came from the stairs, but as these voices sounded, the faces of the practitioners who stayed at the bottom of the stairs changed in unison, because there were only four voices!
"He is a practitioner from Wu Zhou Academy!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused as he looked at the cultivator who was in the late Seven-Star Martial Master stage. Although this person belonged to the team of the Moya World, he was actually a cultivator from the Zichen Continent!
"It was an illusion. I almost got lost in it!"
Just when everyone's faces looked a little ugly, a voice came from the stairs. It was the practitioner from the Wu Zhou Academy.
Phew~
On the team from the Cliff World, the seven-star martial arts master from the Wu Zhou Academy breathed a sigh of relief. Both of them were from the Wu Zhou Academy, and seeing that their companion seemed to be affected, he was naturally worried, but now that his companion had woken up, he was relieved.
Starting from the ninth step, the illusion array had already had some impact on the practitioners. However, from the tenth step, only two voices were heard. Even the two practitioners from the Xingdou Continent and the Zichen Continent did not make any sound.
Wow~
At this moment, the practitioners from Wu Zhou Academy suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"not good!"
Seeing the disappearing cultivator, the cultivators below the stairs suddenly changed their expressions, especially those from the Zi Chen Continent, whose expressions became extremely ugly.
Li Yi's face was terribly gloomy. The people from Wu Zhou Academy chose to follow him. Their number was not large to begin with, and if they lost a fellow disciple, the strength of the team would definitely be greatly reduced.
"Brother, I'm fine. I've reached the end of the stairs, but there's a stone door in front and I can't get in." Just when the remaining man in Wu Zhou Academy looked extremely pale, an abrupt voice came from the end of the stairs. It was the voice of the practitioner from Wu Zhou Academy who had disappeared before.
"No danger!"
Hearing this, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on everyone's originally ugly faces. The disappeared practitioner was obviously lost in the illusion, but he was still able to survive, which showed that there was no life-and-death danger on this path of self-examination!
At this moment, the elegantly dressed man headed by Xuantian Continent said, "The stairs are not big. Each team will have three people at a time, and they will be at least three stairs apart!" (To be continued)
