Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 41: Tianzhu Palace
Knowing the problem, Tang Jie regained his confidence in the soldier master's mind and had nothing to do, so he went around to other halls.
As expected, the Xuan Palace that day was specially used to train dodges. As soon as you entered the palace, you could see locusts all over the sky coming towards you. Students were not allowed to use defensive spells and had to rely on their own movement and blocking. to avoid attacks. Those migratory locusts don't hurt at all when they hit you, but there will be an extra mark, and then the jade sign will light up and record it.
Wait until the specified time is completed, and the score will be judged based on the number of attacks received.
Tang Jie was not yet proficient in the Purple Lightning Jumping Technique, so he was beaten into a sieve as soon as he entered the palace. The flash of the jade plaque directly turned into a light bulb, and his results were naturally disastrous.
The Tianji Palace trains endurance ability. After Tang Jie enters, he will find that he is in a battle formation, with endless soldiers rushing towards him, and he is being carried forward by his own soldiers. Those soldiers really couldn't kill them all. Once one group died, another group came back. There was no end. Tang Jie was so exhausted after the beating that he could hardly even lift his arms. Only then did he realize that in this battle with endless seas of soldiers, all the powerful spells were fake. Only a steady stream of combat power was the key to supporting his survival.
After leaving Tianji Hall, Tang Jie rested for a while before going to Tianbian Hall again
Before entering the Heavenly Transformation Palace, you can receive some talismans. These talismans record various spells to replace students' currently insufficient abilities.
After entering the palace, there will be some phantom spiritual masters fighting with them. There are all kinds of magic spells, which are definitely not something that current students can stop. The only thing they can do is use the talismans in their hands to respond. Before the spell runs out, either defeat the opponent, or hold on for a long enough time.
This hall trains students’ understanding and choice of spells. Before facing various possible dangers, rational choice of spells is sometimes more practical than powerful spells, and it can also help them experience it personally. and understanding the practical applications of various techniques.
At the same time, Tang Jie also had the easiest time in this palace. Because of his dominance in liberal arts, he already had a lot of knowledge about various sects and various spells. Although he was not proficient in it, he at least knew how to master it. Make outrageous decisions.
Despite this, he only scored thirty-two points. The subsequent spells are getting stronger and stronger, and more and more difficult to deal with. Some spells are even similar in form but different in quality. Some spells are released extremely fast. You must You can guess what spell the opponent is going to use the first moment he presses the spell, so you can respond correctly.
The Tianshu Palace is a place where you can practice how to cast spells quickly. There will be some illusions of spiritual masters inside to fight with you. These spiritual masters are different from the Tianbian Palace. The main reason is that the spell casting speed is extremely fast and the power is extremely weak. Often students Before a magic formula is ready, it will be beaten by a burst of spells, sometimes directly disrupting the spell.
It is normal for some unlucky students to enter here and not be able to cast a single spell for a long time.
Various interruptions.
Tang Jie is doing better. His water condensation shield is now infinitely close to instantaneous even if it is not able to send and receive from the heart. Therefore, resisting attacks is not a problem. The problem is that his vitality needle does not reach such speed.
Those phantom spiritual masters threw spells one after another. Tang Jialeng didn't release a single vitality needle for a long time. It was all supported by the condensed water shield, and the Tianshu Palace was turned into the Tianyu Palace. In the end, it was still He was shot straight out of the hall by a volley of shots from those illusions.
After being beaten badly in Tianshu Hall, Tang Jie went to Tianyan Hall again.
Tianyan Hall is a comprehensive training ground. After entering, students will usually be in a dangerous secret forest and face all kinds of strange things. Sometimes it may be a chase, and you have to escape in the pursuit; sometimes it may be a hunt, with students playing the role of the hunter; sometimes you will face some special monsters, including foxes that can enchant people's hearts and are fierce and cruel. The violent bear, the fast and flexible wooden ape; sometimes even receive some strange search missions, each time the requirements are different, and the situations they face are also very different. It can be said to be the most complex and most comprehensive one. temple.
Tang Jie's comprehensive quality and judgment ability are extremely strong, so his results in this palace are also good.
After going to Tianyan Hall, Tang Jie finally went to Tianzhu Hall.
Tianzhu Palace is a place to test students’ attack power, but the difference is that a city of civilians actually appeared in Tianzhu Palace, telling students that these civilians were transformed by ghost ghosts, and letting students kill in them to kill The one with more wins.
However, no matter how Tang Jie looked at these civilians, they didn't look like ghosts. When he raised his sword and killed the first civilian, the other civilian didn't fight back at all. There was even blood splattering on him, and he could feel the warmth. The blood poured all over his body.
At that time, Tang Jie was also stunned by this scene. He almost suspected that this was not an illusion but reality. He saw civilians running away in fear, and some even knelt down to beg for mercy and wailed so much that Tang Jie The sharp blade held high could no longer cut.
He stopped attacking.
This hall eventually became the hall where Tang Jie had the worst performance.
When he came out, Tang Jie was a little distracted.
He didn’t understand why Xiyue Academy did this.
Don’t they keep saying that they educate people properly and do not support unprovoked killings?
Why should students go through such madness?
Is this still the Tenchu Palace where attack training is conducted?
This is a demon-cultivating temple that obliterates human nature!
At this time, he had gone through the seven palaces and was exhausted physically and mentally. Coupled with the huge stimulation of Tianzhu Palace, he finally left in frustration.
He didn't know that not long after he left, Xie Fengtang suddenly appeared in front of Tianzhu Palace. Also appearing with him was Si Yue'er and the old man at the entrance.
"What do Mr. Qian think of this boy?" Xie Fengtang asked with a smile.
The old man replied slowly: "It's not bad, at least he's not a murderer."
Si Yue'er curled her lips: "But she's not ruthless enough, not decisive enough to kill, she's a bit of a mother-in-law."
Xie Fengtang rolled his eyes at her angrily and sighed: "Killing decisively does not mean killing decisively, Yue'er! Don't just use your standards to measure others, okay? There are many things in the world that require decisiveness. Resolutely not to kill it is also a kind of decisiveness!"
"But the immortal road is dangerous. How is it possible to reach the top without getting blood?" Si Yue'er replied unconvinced: "Don't you and I have enough blood on our hands? Is there not an innocent person among them?" Man? If he can’t figure this out, I don’t think he will achieve anything in his life.”
"It depends on the situation and the environment. When you have a choice, you must know how to restrain yourself. It is easy to be unscrupulous, but it is difficult to restrain yourself. The road is difficult to find. In the end, it is not just a matter of killing. It's solved." The old man said slowly and calmly.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I am optimistic about this boy."
"Those who can memorize three spells in one hour are certainly worth looking forward to." Xie Fengtang said with a smile. It's a pity that he didn't know that his reasons for being optimistic were completely unfounded. Of course, if the relationship gets better in the future and he finds out that Tang Jie cheated, he might say: Students who dare to cause trouble even when they know that the master of the academy is behind them can be called courageous and knowledgeable. .
As long as you like someone, you can always find a reason, and vice versa.
————————————
The Seven Heavens Palace and his entourage made Tang Jie understand how big the gap between his own strength and the real top level was.
It’s no wonder that the cultivation process from Lingquan to Linghu takes one and a half years according to standard time.
In this year, the students will also grow a lot. The strength levels of veteran Lingquan and new Lingquan are also different.
Why are recognized geniuses like Qi Shaoming and An Rumeng unable to win every battle in the beginning? That's why.
Of course, things will change over time.
Based on time, based on Qi Shaoming’s progress, it is estimated that he is almost touching the threshold of Spirit Lake. If he is not in a hurry to rush to Spirit Lake, then the next day may be the day when he practices his skills vigorously and competes for the top spot on the list. , after all, these are resources.
As for An Rumeng, it is different. Her Six Desire Veins are not conducive to the speed of cultivation, but according to the corresponding cultivation techniques, the power is doubled, just like the bonus of Shaohai Cave Golden Technique on the Jade Finger, and the Six Desire Veins on Certain spells also have additional unique effects, making their combat effectiveness even stronger than Qi Shaoming's at the beginning.
Compared with the students who were keen on the sparring ground, Tang Jie was more keen on the special training ground. First of all, he has no shortage of combat experience. He has been a man in two lives and has gone through ups and downs, which makes him understand many things earlier and deeper than others. Secondly, this special training ground has made the improvement of one's own strength even more obvious.
There are too many targeted issues in the training ground, while the special training ground is entirely focused on training oneself.
So in the following days, in addition to daily practice, Tang Jie would come to the special training ground every day to practice.
His favorite among the Seven Heavens Palace is Tianyan Palace. He liked the weird and changeable atmosphere here, and at the same time, he gradually learned more about the ecology of Qixia Realm.
The Tianyan Palace can have so many changes, and the content alone consumes countless people's efforts. I think the person who originally designed the Seven Heavens Palace should have put the most effort into the Tianyan Palace.
The one who benefited the most was Tianyu Palace. Just as Tang Jie expected, through constant beating and training, Tang Jie's physique became stronger and stronger, so much so that he could resist the seventh puppet on his own. For this reason, let alone the phaseless golden body, he even gave up using the water condensation shield.
After the seventh puppet appeared, the power of all the puppets soared. Their strength was no worse than ordinary low-level spells. The seven puppets smashed down with fourteen fists, which was equivalent to withstanding fourteen spells at the same time. If the attack were an ordinary defensive spell, I might not be able to withstand it for even one round.
Even with Tang Jie's strong physical fitness, he was forced to leave after enduring a round of bombardment.
The most painful thing is Tianji Temple. The long battle is not only a huge test for the students' physical strength and aura, but also a challenge to their spirit and will. If other cultivation methods require you to practice within your capabilities, then Tianji Temple requires you to continuously squeeze your body. Only hard training can make progress.
For this reason, every time Tang Jie was beaten until he was exhausted, so tired that he couldn't even move his fingers before he was forced to quit.
The one who has made the fastest progress is Tianbian Palace. Tianbian Palace requires much more brains than strength. Tang Jie is the most talented in this aspect, so much so that he is second only to Tianyu Palace in performance. a level. Tianyu Palace has the foundation of mental skills and resources, so it is the palace with the best performance. Tianbian Palace relies purely on talent, so Tang Jie is more proud of the achievements of this palace than Tianyu Palace.
The one that has made the slowest progress is Tianxuan Palace. Due to his strong body, Tang Jie did not have high requirements for dodging. If his mentality was wrong, his efforts would naturally be limited. In addition, Zidian Jumping Technique is not a technique that specializes in small-scale movement, so the entry is much slower than Tang Jie expected.
The thing I don’t want to face the most is Tianzhu Palace.
This is also the hall where his performance is the worst, with no progress at all.
Today Tang Jie came out of Tianzhu Palace again. Needless to say, this time he still only killed one person and then stopped.
The old man glanced at him and said strangely: "I don't understand. You don't seem to be the kind of indecisive person. Why can't you start with some illusions now? You should know that they are not real life. ."
"Because I think this kind of practice will not help our strength at all, but will cultivate the murderous intention and violence in our hearts." Tang Jie answered honestly: "I think this is not what Xiyue Academy needs. Disciple."
"I see..." The old man chuckled: "What Xiyue Academy needs is not such a disciple. It's interesting, interesting, but who are you to decide what kind of disciples Xiyue Academy needs?"
Tang Jie was stunned.
The old man said again: "Why do you think that Xiyue Academy needs disciples? No, it is Xiyue Sect that needs disciples, not Xiyue Academy. Do you...understand?"
Tang Jie's heart trembled when he heard this.
The old man continued: "You are very smart, but you are obviously a little too smart. You are so smart that you even speculate on the purpose of the academy. This is your problem. But there are some things that you cannot guess after all. Why do you think so? Doesn’t the Xiyue Sect need to kill? Or do you think that now that the Xiyue Sect is seeking the top spot in Wenxin, no one can challenge it, so it can just sit back and enjoy its success?”
Tang Jie's mouth trembled, but he didn't say anything after all.
He knew the old man would give him the answer.
The old man sighed: "This is an academy. There are many things that should not appear here, but this does not mean that you will not have to face them in the future. There are always many helplessness in life. A practitioner has a long life and will encounter There is even more helplessness. Sometimes when God needs you to wield the butcher's knife, you have to make a choice."
"I understand what the old man means, but if possible, there should be some other ways." Tang Jie replied.
"Other ways?" The old man glanced at Tang Jie: "Then do you have any other ways to get high scores in Tianzhu Palace without killing anyone?"
"This..." Tang Jie was immediately speechless.
He really had no choice.
"If you can't, then face it. The academy does not encourage you to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but the academy also hopes that you understand that there are always some helplessness that you must face. Go ahead and give you another chance. This time at least kill Come out a hundred more, and then you will have new discoveries."
As he spoke, the old man pointed at the jade plaque next to Tang Jie, and then waved his sleeves, sending Tang Jie into the Tianzhu Palace again.
Back in the palace, Tang Jie took a deep breath.
Looking at the people in the city, he closed his eyes and slashed away with his sword.
He cut! Kill him! He slashed wildly with his sword, letting the blood flow around him, and the wails kept ringing in his ears. He just kept slashing and killing, and kept telling himself in his heart that these were just illusions.
He killed the civilians who kowtowed and knelt in front of him and cried incessantly one by one, until their blood spilled on the street.
Finally, after killing an unknown number of people, Tang Jie suddenly heard a loud shout.
"Damn it, I beg you so much and you still kill me, brothers, fight with him!" The civilian who had been wailing for help suddenly stood up, and the leader turned into a ghost and rushed towards him.
"It turns out they are all ghosts in disguise!" Tang Jie finally understood.
When these seemingly kind and pitiful civilians suddenly turned into evil ghosts, the pain that originally hindered his heart suddenly disappeared. He laughed and slashed with his sword...
When Tang Jie came out again, he was filled with murderous intent and high morale.
The old man glanced at him and said, "Understood?"
"Yes! Students understand, the world is deceitful, and ghosts and monsters are rampant. Sometimes we can't believe what we see before our eyes, but we must firmly believe in our hearts. Obviously the college has told me that they are evil ghosts, but I am still attracted by their wails. I was so shaken and deceived by illusions that I failed to achieve anything after entering the temple many times~IndoMTL.com~It shows that I am hesitant and not confident enough!"
"Very good, it's good to know, go ahead, go ahead."
"Yes!" Tang Jie left respectfully, but he couldn't help but feel a cold snort in his heart.
Now it seems that Xiyue Academy also wants to use this kind of thing to make students firmly believe in Xiyue Sect.
Yes, Tang Jie did not see that those civilians were transformed by evil ghosts, but that was because both evil ghosts and civilians were all illusions and naturally impossible to detect.
But in reality, there must be clues when evil spirits turn into humans.
Not only the evil ghosts are like this, but also all the conspiracies and tricks have clues.
As for the Moon-Cleaning Sect, they are actually using this kind of thing to undermine students' confidence in judging issues - if you can't judge right from wrong yourself, then let the Moon-Cleaning Sect help you judge.
Good technique!
Tang Jie smiled secretly in his heart.
After all, it is Xiyue Academy, which is already cultivating students' absolute trust in Xiyue Sect without making a sound.
Understanding this, Tang Jie naturally knew what he should do in the future.
After solving this matter, Tang Jie felt relieved and felt much more relaxed when he walked.
On the way back, he saw Wei Tianchong walking towards him.
When he saw Tang Jie, he hugged his head and cried: "Tang Jie... you have to help me make the decision!"
"Master? What happened?" Tang Jie was puzzled.
"My puppet..." Wei Tianchong howled: "My puppet was smashed by them!"
