A life of clearness

Chapter 148 Do You Still Want to Go?
This glance made Rong Qing feel like he saw through her.

Compared to Chongyu who sees through things but doesn't say anything, Chongji sometimes shows it, which of course causes Rongqing to be on guard instinctively.

No one wants their thoughts to be easily seen through.

The three of them walked on the tundra, although without saying a word, their auras blended together subtly, so they didn't seem distant.

The further you go in, the less moss there is. Although there is still spiritual energy, it is quite violent and not pure.

Rong Qing understood that this was getting closer and closer to truly entering the Dream Ruins.

The human-shaped illusion that still exists here is undoubtedly the most powerful.

The sky here is obviously dark, especially at the limit of vision, there are things like black fragments. These black fragments are densely distributed at the highest point of the sky, making people feel deeply depressed when seeing them.

Rong Qing withdrew his gaze from the sky. A hundred feet away from the three of them, there was a figure sitting cross-legged with his back to them.

It did not tie up its hair, but let it hang down behind its back. Its long black hair was like a blanket, dragging on the ground and extending very long.

As for its body shape, it was quite thin, but not slender either. So it was hard to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

Moreover, its aura was rising extremely quickly in her spiritual sense... Rong Qing couldn't help but look solemn, and tightened her hand holding the cold sword.

Now Rong Qing has a divine pillar guarding inside and a sword that can kill the enemy outside, so he shouldn't be afraid. But...

"This aura is probably far beyond the level of a spirit being transformed." The continuously surging aura triggered instinctive fear.

This feeling was just like the time when he met the powerful senior from the Venerable Realm in the Forest of All Laws Stele. He surrendered instinctively at the level of life, just like he met a predator.

It was as if she was no longer a detached monk, but just a weak creature in a strict food chain.

Being hunted and hunted is a matter of course and fate.

Rong Qing's eyes flashed, and four words "trapped" suddenly appeared around the long-haired man.

In the process of practicing the third divine pillar, Wuxing squeezed her spiritual consciousness to the limit, so she made considerable progress and was able to use four "traps" at the same time.

Numerous silk threads burst out from the four twisted golden circles, trying to wrap up the human-shaped illusion tightly.

Since the human-shaped illusion has already affected Rong Qing's spiritual consciousness, Rong Qing can also use means related to spiritual consciousness to deal with it accordingly.

It was very strong. So this time, Rong Qing chose to strike first.

……

Rong Qing didn't notice that Chongji frowned slightly after seeing her use the word "trapped". "Why are you still using the word "trapped" like this?"

This sentence has the same meaning as what Chu Yuan said, "The word '困' should not be used in this way."

The two of them did not take action, of course, because they wanted to see Rong Qing's current progress in cultivation, and in all aspects.

The humanoid illusion encountered before was average in strength, and even Rong Qing could kill it easily. There were not many things that could be detected. And the one encountered this time... was close to Rong Qing's strength, and if possible, even better than her.

Therefore, from here on, it can be regarded as a real training for Rong Qing. It can evaluate Rong Qing's strength and see how much potential she can unleash under such high-pressure battles.

Some people can only exert one tenth or one twelfth of their normal strength in a life-and-death situation. However, some people can burst out with more powerful strength than usual in a life-and-death battle, and can even break through. The former is only suitable for the path of understanding the Tao seeds. Without special opportunities, their future achievements will be very limited. The latter... is almost born for fighting. Not only can they understand the Tao seeds, but they can even express the Tao seeds in the form of Tao rhyme. Tao rhyme can produce all kinds of wonderful methods. How can such a cultivator not be strong? What Chongyu and Chongji want to see is which path Rong Qing is suitable for.

If it is the former, ordinary transformation of the god will be better. If it is the latter, the ninth transformation of the god will be more advantageous. It depends on which path Rong Qing is suitable for. It does not mean that only the second path can achieve the strongest.

……

The four "trapped" bans appeared suddenly, and the long-haired man did not react at all, and just let the golden thread wrap him tightly.

It was motionless before, but now it has become a golden cocoon, motionless. The long hair on its head is not wrapped and is still exposed, which looks a bit ridiculous.

However, the use of the "Trap" ban and Rong Qing's swinging of the sword happened at the same moment. Since Rong Qing believed that this humanoid illusion was extremely dangerous, of course he could not take it lightly, so he did not expect too much from the "Trap" ban and used the sword intent right from the start.

At this moment, the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

! !
The sky was dim, day and night were indistinguishable, and the barren land stretched to the end of the sky, to a place beyond the reach of the naked eye. The land was cracking and shattering, slowly moving, forming an abyss with no end. And on the sky, it seemed that tiny fragments were falling, revealing an uncertain black color.

This scene was familiar. Wasn't this what she saw in the jade slip given by Fenghuang'er...

However, the stone tablet with the words "The Tenth Level of Dream Ruins" written on it was right in front of her!

It turned out that what she saw was exactly what the long-haired man saw.

Rong Qing's expression showed a hint of struggle. She realized that she was already in an illusion, but she couldn't break free. Even the three divine pillars in her sea of ​​consciousness were suppressed by this powerful illusion.

If Rong Qing had not practiced the divine pillar last time, she would have been completely immersed in the illusion by now, instead of feeling something and wanting to struggle out now.

“Before me, it was Ruinu.”

She heard herself sighing.

"After me, it's the present world."

These two sentences were inexplicable, and what terrified Rong Qing the most was that the voice was her own, and the sigh seemed to come from her own mind.

"If you could do it all over again, would you still go..." Rong Qing was startled by the sadness in his words, "Even though you know it's wrong, would you still go..."

"Five hundred and thirty-two. This is the five hundred and thirty-second time."

Rong Qing saw the sword master, and they looked at her coldly. This scene was too familiar, as if she had seen it five hundred and thirty-one times. And now, it was the five hundred and thirty-second time!

The long-haired man tilted his head and looked at the two sword masters. Rong Qing could also see it... So was she empathizing with the humanoid illusion, or was she now captured in the humanoid illusion?
Rong Qing didn't know, she only knew that she was almost powerless to resist this illusion. She still retained her consciousness, but all her means were suppressed and cut off.

The destructive thunder, the divine pillars, and the first floor were all out of her control.

Only her mind was left, all alone, in this human-shaped illusion, being swallowed up bit by bit by boundless fear.

Even...she could feel the chill coming from behind, so sharp.

Yes, that was her sword intent. It was only a hundred feet away, and it arrived in an instant.

"For the 532nd time, I still have to stop you from going." Rong Qing heard herself say.
