Chapter 164 Three Thousand Steps and Three Questions: Asking the Heart

When Wu Yi stepped onto the highest point of the ice and snow, the sea of ​​clouds in front of him was rolling. When the sea of ​​clouds calmed down and gradually dissipated, the white jade steps reappeared in front of him, as if nothing had happened before.

Wu Yi looked back and the snowy area behind him disappeared. On the layers of steps, many disciples tried to climb. They were sweating, trembling, horrified, or calm. No one knew what they saw on the steps of the ladder.

The only thing in common was that they had more or less, or hidden, Tao rhyme, pushing them forward step by step.

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Wu Yi continued his pace. Now he was no longer the first. There were already several people on the steps in front of him. The fastest one was about to pull him out of the hundreds of steps.

Three thousand steps, the last thousand steps are called Tao Heart. All cultivators who set foot on the ladder will encounter this level, which is specially used for cultivators to understand Tao Heart.

Even immortals dare not assert that their Tao Heart is unobstructed and smooth, so this level is the most difficult.

After Wu Yi stepped onto the 2001st step, he found that he could still see the disciples in front of him. He did not enter an unknown place like before, but the backs of these disciples were blurred and hazy, as if they were not in the same time and space as him. He could not hear their voices, let alone see the test that hindered them.

As soon as he stepped onto the steps, countless flames swept over, as if to devour Wu Yi and burn him into ashes.

After sensing the power of the flames, which was only the intensity of an ordinary mountain fire, Wu Yi walked in the flames without even opening the spiritual shield.

This third level did not suppress his cultivation. Wu Yi could use all three paths, and the "Great Dao of Hunyuan Huanyuan" he practiced refined the power of the fire-attributed earth veins. In particular, Wu Yi had been soaked in magma once, and his tolerance to flames had been greatly enhanced. Even without this reason, Wu Yi would not suffer much damage if he passed through the flames with blood light alone.

The first hundred steps were all fire attacks. Although the intensity became higher and higher later, and even spiritual creatures such as fire crows, fire snakes or fire butterflies were transformed, it did not hinder Wu Yi for long. Wu Yi passed the first hundred steps very easily and jumped to the second place.

As mentioned before, the opponent can be seen in this third level. Those disciples who were overtaken by Wu Yi saw Wu Yi so fast and couldn't help but cast their eyes on him, but they only saw a hazy figure and didn't know his specific identity.

After passing the first hundred steps, Wu Yi continued to step onto the 2101st step. It was a fire attack before, but now it turned into water arrows. When it flew over, the coldness gradually deepened and turned into ice arrows, which were harder and sharper.

However, these ice arrows at the beginning did not cause much damage to Wu Yi. The fire spirit spread out and rolled towards the ice arrows. The ice arrows melted into water and then turned into water vapor. Even Wu Yi's clothes were not wet.

In this way, Wu Yi moved forward all the way, climbing thirty steps in a row without encountering much obstacles, until a ball of water vapor in front of him turned into a strange fish with sharp teeth, Wu Yi slowed down his pace. The fire spirit energy could not burn it to death, and the strange fish that was burned hurt instead grinned at Wu Yi, very ferocious, just like a real creature.

Wu Yi was not bothered by the strange fish, and he was calm and quiet as before. Under the control of Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness, the fire spirit energy turned into a cauldron, locked the strange fish in it, roasted it alive, and refined it into pure water spirit energy.

Looking at the azure water spirit energy in front of him, the spirit energy content was almost no less than the power of the earth veins that Wu Yi extracted from the earth veins when he practiced the "Huanyuan Huanyuan Dadao Jing", and it also saved Wu Yi's purification work. It was really a good thing.

With a tremor of his robe sleeves, Wu Yi collected this trace of azure water spirit energy, which might come in handy in the future.

Continuing forward, the number of spiritual creatures transformed from the water-attributed spiritual energy in front of him gradually increased. Wu Yi began to feel a little tired. He could not suppress these spiritual creatures with his Qi Dao cultivation alone, so Wu Yi used his other two methods one by one.

What surprised Wu Yi was that the stone tablet world he had re-visualized to escape from the predicament of falling rapidly in the air actually worked wonders at this time.

This was originally just a timely move. Wu Yi did not invest much resources in the newly visualized world. It was not comparable to the stone tablet world that had been cultivated for a long time. It was a small world that could not even spontaneously form ghosts.

But after all, it was a visualized small world, which was real, not an illusion evolved by spiritual consciousness. It was of great help to Wu Yi's stone tablet suppression move, and the power was directly increased many times. These spiritual creatures were injured when they touched them, and died when they touched them. It was a crushing move, which made Wu Yi very refreshed.

The spiritual energy, spiritual consciousness and energy consumption were all low. This move was really convenient. Wu Yi sighed in his heart.

The reason why Wu Yi did not use the real stele world before was because the stele world might be damaged in the battle and difficult to repair.

If the stele world is damaged, the ghosts inside will lose their place to live. Where can they be placed? Without a place to live, ghosts, especially low-level ghosts such as fierce ghosts, will not survive for long if they are separated from the Yin Qi.

Therefore, Wu Yi would evolve a stele world with his spiritual consciousness unless he had to, which was very similar to the spiritual creation, and it would dissipate after use.

Now that he had a substitute, Wu Yi didn't care about using it. He went through ten steps in a row. The monsters that evolved from the water-attributed spiritual energy that were killed were refined by Wu Yi into pure water spiritual energy, which was the size of a child's head.

After going through ten steps in a row, Wu Yi's speed was frighteningly fast, but under high-intensity use, the substitute soon had a crack, and deep in this crack, a wisp of cold air slowly seeped out.

After going through another step, the cracks on the surface of the substitute stele had been connected into one piece, like a spider web, making people feel that it would fall apart with a slight touch. As for the yin energy in it, it had already disappeared and the spiritual energy had dissipated.

Wu Yi knew that this substitute stele could no longer be used, so he took it back to the sea of ​​consciousness to warm it up and wait for it to recover slowly. As for the next step, Wu Yi planned to go through it with force.

It was called force, but it was not pure force. At least every time Wu Yi punched and kicked, the fire-attributed spiritual energy would appear and scatter the spiritual creation in front of him.

After passing dozens of steps, Wu Yi could no longer disperse the spiritual creatures with his punches and kicks. He could not help but increase the activation of the Blood Burning Technique, and kept the state of one-hit-kill. His speed was not slow, and he was very close to the person in front.

At the last step of the water attribute, Wu Yi saw a vast ocean in front of him, with no end in sight, nor the entrance to the next step.

Before, at the fire attribute attack, the last step was a boiling hot magma. Wu Yi was originally a person who came out of the magma. After a simple test, he jumped into the magma without hesitation, and thus passed the test of the fire attribute attack.

Wu Yi had never touched the vast ocean, but in his mind it should not be much different from the previous magma, just adding more content to test the disciple's character.

But after all, he was not familiar with the water attribute. Wu Yi had never seen the vast ocean since he was born, but only heard about it from others. He did not dare to be careless and sent a shadow clone to investigate.

The shadow clone's body touched the sea surface, walking lightly, leisurely and calmly, looking extremely chic. The most important thing was that the sea water did not change at all, and it was still as calm as ever.

But the calmer it was, the more Wu Yi felt something was wrong, just like the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, not long after, the sea finally showed its violent and manic side, with waves rising without wind. First, a whirlpool suddenly appeared, and then the surrounding seawater filled the whirlpool, stirring up waves that were more than ten feet high. If you can't leave in time, such a big wave will crush and tear the monk into pieces directly.

The shadow clone provided Wu Yi with extremely important information at the last moment of dispersing. The exit was under the sea water, but under the calm sea surface, there were undercurrents everywhere, and the randomly distributed reefs were even more deadly. Even if they were not crushed into pieces by the water pressure, they would die because of hitting the reefs.

The way ahead was clear. Wu Yi locked the exit with his spiritual sense. He did not wait any longer and jumped into the sea. The water was indeed full of undercurrents and reefs. However, Wu Yi relied on his powerful spiritual sense to guide him and his goal was accurate. Even though he was swept east and west by the undercurrent, he did not lose his goal.

Even so, it took Wu Yi more than an hour to slowly approach the door. With a leap, Wu Yi passed through the door and successfully left.

Before Wu Yi could breathe, he suddenly found a person standing next to him. He could not see his face clearly. This person was the one who had been ahead of Wu Yi before.

When Lin Qitian was resting to recover his strength, he was surprised to find that a person suddenly appeared beside him. Although he could not see his face clearly, according to his figure, he was the one who had been ahead of him before. He did not expect to meet him again at this time.

The sudden arrival of the opponent made Lin Qitian not take more time to rest. He hurried to the steps in front of him, intending to get rid of Wu Yi.

Wu Yi didn't think of competing with him for the first place. After all, he had just fought against the whirlpool undercurrent and was exhausted. Why bother to compete for the first place? There were still hundreds of steps. It didn't matter if he wanted to go. If he wanted to go, he could go. Wu Yi didn't want to accompany him. He had his own arrangements.

After breaking through ten steps, Lin Qitian couldn't help but look behind him. Seeing that Wu Yi was still standing there, he couldn't help but frown. He guessed that Wu Yi was exhausted and couldn't climb for a while, but he still felt uncomfortable as if a stone was pressed on his heart. Wu Yi looked down on him and planned to let him go first.

The next three hundred steps corresponded to the three types of spiritual energy attacks of wood, gold, and earth. Wu Yi spent about five days on each hundred steps, which was the same as Lin Qitian. The two did not have a big gap.

When Wu Yi broke through the level, he also collected some pure spiritual energy left after the spiritual creations were destroyed. Each of them was the size of a bamboo basket. It was enough for the disciples of this way to practice for several months.

Finally, there were only 500 steps left. The first half of the way was the five elements attack. What was behind? Wu Yi looked forward, and he stepped on it confidently.

A figure that looked very similar to Wu Yi slowly emerged and blocked Wu Yi. In terms of momentum, it was even stronger than Wu Yi.

When Wu Yi saw this figure, his eyes gradually became solemn. In the bamboo slips that Hua Jianling showed him before, the one who trapped Hua Jianling was also this figure that looked very similar to him.
