"Has stopped? This...how is this possible?"

The purple monk, known as "Brother Xue Dao", couldn't help but pull his white beard, showing an unbelievable look.

This path of refining the mind is 9999. It is conceivable that the first level 17 was just a start, but why did Gu Yang, who was favored by them, stop here?

"Jiang Tianzhu, what level is the seventeenth level of the Heart Refining Road?" An elder from the Longyou Li family from the eight ancient families couldn't help but ask.

Although this new disciple of Da Chitian, no matter what the final Taoist heart is, and what achievements he will achieve in the future, has nothing to do with the elders and strong cultivators of the top power, after all, he had put out his words before and praised Gu Yang. If he was slapped in the face at this time, he would still be somewhat unfavorable in terms of face.

If the path to refining one's heart is long, but in fact, the only steps ahead are useful for testing these young disciples, then at least their judgment is not too wrong.

Although it is not difficult to see others break through the steps ahead and the possibility of this above is very small, someone still couldn't help but ask.

"The 17th level of the Heart Refining Road is probably not as good as the outer disciples of the elders' sects."

Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed slightly.

The first 30 levels of the mind refining path are the first stage, the three hundred levels, the second stage, the three thousand levels, the third stage, the six thousand levels, the fourth stage, the nine thousand levels, the fifth stage, and above the nine thousand levels, it surpasses the fifth level, and the heart of Tao has reached its peak. Even if the eternal destruction is destroyed, the cycle of reincarnation will be long-lasting and the great way is endless, I will still walk towards the Tao.

In fact, Jiang Chen himself did not have the ability to cast this last level. It was because he activated some of the power in the Palace of Inquiry, which created this effect. He did not expect anyone to climb up, just to complete it.

At the seventeenth level, even if you find ten mortals everywhere, there will be more than one level.

Gu Yang, among the two assessments of qualifications and insights, was among the top ones among this group of new disciples, and he could rank in the top five. Moreover, his words and temperament before seemed to be not bad in the heart of Taoism, and he was a candidate for inner sects.

However, if you really stop at the 17th level of this path of refining your mind, it is not worth mentioning.

This kind of Taoist heart means that if there are any setbacks in the path of cultivation, you will be decayed immediately and it will be difficult to achieve anything. Gu Yang's qualifications can only be said to be acceptable, not really talented, not the kind that is worth spending a lot of effort to transform and cultivate.

"That's really my eyes were gone." The elder of Li, Longyou, sighed, picked up the teacup and drank two sips of spiritual tea, shook his head and sighed.

"This thing about the mind has always been illusory, and the human heart is the most unpredictable. It is normal for us to read something wrong occasionally." The monk named Xue also said this, and then he continued to look at the water curtain without caring.

These are at least cultivators from the Purple Palace. The discussions between these new disciples are just a fun thing. Unless they are really qualified and terrifying disciples, they will pay attention to it and repay the sects, families, etc., so that the elders in charge of intelligence will always pay attention to the relevant news.

"Wait? It seems...is there another change?"

This glance made the monk named Xue shout, attracting the attention of others to the thin boy on the water curtain.

……………………

On the seventeenth step of the road to refinement, Gu Yang lowered his head, half-kneeled, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The illusion reflected on the seventeenth step appeared in the air. In the eyes of outsiders, there were only blue sky and white clouds, but in Gu Yang's eyes, there was a vast grassland. On the grassland, a supreme terrifying figure stood tall and wide. Countless herders trembled and bowed to him and kowtowed, but the terrifying existence was disdainful to these people. With their casual breaths, hundreds of herders lost their spirits and fell head-on.

This is a scene deeply in the heart of this young man who changed to the name "Gu Yang" in the Central Plains. It is the horror he has faced since his origin. It also supports him to travel through endless dangers with an ordinary body, traveling thousands of miles, and traveling all the way to the Central Plains from the chaotic grasslands and reaching the enemy of Da Chi Tianqingcheng Mountain.

But now, this terrifying existence was once again reflected by the path of refining the heart, but Gu Yang's heart was only despair.

How terrible, what a terrifying existence. His cultivation and his hard pursuit of power can really catch up with the demon god in the end?

Even the most powerful warrior in the tribe can't hold on to the breath he exhaled!

Since that is the case, what's the use of practicing?

This is a spiritual flaw buried deep in Gu Yang's heart. It was not revealed in the past and did not even notice it. At this time, it was clearly reflected by the path of refining the heart.

"Forget it... forget it..."

A murmuring sound came from the deepest part of his heart, and he advised him to give up completely.

Life seems to be pretty good now?

Living in Qingcheng Mountain, a beautiful immortal spiritual land with beautiful mountains and rivers, is safe and peaceful. Even as an outer disciple, practicing some common methods to prolong life, you will live for a hundred years and be buried here. Perhaps you can still have a lot of descendants and continue the tribe's bloodline...

Perhaps all of this is what my father and sister are willing to see?

Such thoughts rolled in Gu Yang's mind, and his body became lower and weaker, and his resistance became weaker and weaker.

"Oh...it's a pity."

Lin Fan, who was responsible for the assessment of these new disciples, clearly saw Gu Yang's current situation. Although the illusion reflected by the path of refining the heart is manifested by the personal soul and has its own differences and can only be seen by those who walk on this path, the host of his external performance is still clear, and he knows that Gu Yang, who first embarked on the path of refining the heart, is about to fail.

"Oh? There are still changes?"

Just when he was ready to move Gu Yang down at any time, he was ready to wait until Gu Yang failed completely, and suddenly, on the steps, Gu Yang's body stood up slowly but firmly.

"Mius, wonderful! Could this be the ultimate victory over the obstacles of the mind in the tempering of the illusion and to cultivate a firm heart of Tao?"

In the Moral Hall, the elder of the Li clan from Longyou looked at this scene and couldn't help but slam her palm and smile.

"It's rare to encounter such a rare thing here."

The others laughed too.

On the road of cultivation, some people face a life-and-death crisis. When they impact the "Tao" and "reason" of many rivals, they may have an epiphany, and take another big step on the path of Tao that has long stopped and achieve higher achievements. Some strong practices whose life span is close to the limit often choose a life-and-death battle in order to make a breakthrough.

There are similar situations in the heart of Tao. A few people face difficulties under the blows that are enough to be destroyed in their hearts, tempering the heart of Tao more and more clear. From then on, they proved my Tao with my heart, and were no longer shaken when facing thousands of difficulties and dangers.

But these situations are too rare. The battle between life and death is more likely to be a direct death. In most cases, the Taoist heart is directly broken and the time goes by.

Unexpectedly, I saw an example here.

……………………

"You are the god of the grassland, you can dominate the life and death of countless people... but you are not omnipotent!"

"You don't even dare to step into the Central Plains!"

"Those big names on the Tiangang List must be no weaker than you, or even better than you!"

"The Great Red Heaven is the Taoist vein of the Daotian Venerable. I will worship it and practice hard. Sooner or later, I will let you fall from heaven to dust!"

"Bad! Sister! I will definitely avenge you!"

Gu Yang let out a howl with all his might.

And among these sounds, the terrifying figures spread all over the sky disintegrated inch by inch, and his body also rose up inch by inch.

When he stood upright on the seventeenth step, Gu Yang opened his eyes and the gentle sunlight shone into his eyes again.

"What a terrible illusion... I've only reached the seventeenth level. If I just gave up, there would be no hope." He said silently in his heart, and glanced behind him, several disciples had approached him.

These people embarked on the path of refining their hearts later than him, but at this time they had already caught up with him, which obviously means that he had spent a lot of effort on this level.

"Continue to move forward!"

Gu Yang took a deep breath, grabbed the edge of the previous step with one hand, and climbed up.

Another illusion came, but this time, Gu Yang did not spend much time to wake up from the illusion of the 18th level stairs.

"This illusion is not very difficult."

After breaking through the inner demon just now, Gu Yang faced the new illusion and had almost no pressure.

He looked up at the endless ladder above and continued to move forward.

……………………

These more than 200 new disciples were roughly divided into four groups of people to climb the Lingxin Road. When they started climbing the mountain, it was still noon. When everyone stopped, it was time for the sun to fall west.

All the heavens and all realms have sun, moon, and the root of this sun and moon is the moon and the sun star high in the ninth level of heaven. These two stars are the ancient stars born after the creation of the heaven and earth. They have special significance. Many powerful innate gods have even been born from it.

It is even rumored that even the Emperor of Heaven who ruled the three realms had great connection with the Sun Star.

In the ninth heaven, the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star hang high at the same time, without darkness. The Central World Shenzhou and many other small worlds are affected by the alternation of sun and moon, and are divided into day and night. It is rumored that in the indescribable turmoil in the late ancient times, the Taiyin Star was damaged, so in the reflection of the outside world, the Taiyin Star is relatively smaller than the Sun Star.

When dusk arrived, the assessment results of more than 200 disciples also came to Lin Fan.

This group of young disciples were willing to take the initiative to come to Da Chitian to seek Taoism, at least there were still some people who wanted to seek Taoism. They all crossed the thirty level, and a few people crossed the thirty level, and the one who could reach the fourth level in terms of the heart of Taoism was the one who almost stopped at level 17 at the beginning, but in the end, they could break the demons of the heart and recast the heart of Taoism.

This Gu Yang was also talked about by the powerful practitioners in the Moral Hall, believing that he would definitely achieve something in the future.

All three assessments were completed, and the quota of inner disciples was determined after Jiang Chen's brief consideration and handed over to Lin Fan to announce it.

More than 200 disciples stood nervously in front of the mountain gate, waiting for the final result.

"After I report to God, I have already decided on the quota of inner disciples, and now I will announce the specific name."

To make a statement, Lin Fan took out a gold-inlaid brocade book and began to announce the specific personnel of the inner disciples word by word.

"First, Gu Yang, the assessment results, the qualifications are the three best! The understanding is the three best! The heart of Tao is everywhere!"

"The second place, Zhou Xiao, the assessment results, the qualifications are the three highest! The four highest points of enlightenment! The three highest points of Taoist heart!"

"The third one, Li Wanqing..."

"The fourth place, Zhao Ziyu..."

...

"The eighteenth place, Wang Fucheng, the assessment results, the three qualifications! The three understandings! The three Taoist hearts!"

"Above, please enter the inner gate. The rest of the people will wait here for a while. We will send you back to the outer gate of Qingcheng Mountain later. You should not be lazy in your practice. There may not be no chance to enter the inner gate in the future."

Eighteen quotas were reported, and those on the list, especially those who were at the bottom, did not reach the third level and were barely entering the inner sect. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of excitement on their faces, while those who were not selected were mostly depressed.

Although there is not a chance to enter the inner door in the outer door, the chance is obviously much smaller, and most people do not have this confidence at all.

After seeing all the inner door and outer door with their own eyes, they knew very well that the gap between the two was too big.

After all, I was still some young people, and all these mixed expressions were revealed on my face.

"You eighteen people, please receive the token. This is your residence in the Greenhouse Hall. Let's go and sort it out!"

Lin Fan slapped his hand, and all the eighteen tokens flew out and fell into the hands of the newly promoted 18 inner disciples.

"Hehe, Brother Zhou, let's lean on one another." Wang Fucheng glanced at Zhou Xiao's token and couldn't help laughing.

As the last inner disciple, Wang Fucheng was so glad that he almost slapped his thighs, and looked at the token in his hand with love.

"Okay, let's go to the greenhouse hall." Zhou Xiao just glanced at the token lazily and walked towards the greenhouse hall.

"Brother Zhou! Wait for me!" Wang Fucheng behind him hurriedly followed.

……………………

"Congratulations to Jiang Tianzhu, there are successors in the sect."

After watching this assessment of selecting disciples, many monks from various sects and tribes congratulated Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen also responded casually.

At this moment, Wu Ming, the God of Lieyang, talked casually.
Chapter completed!
