Mythological Revival: I Can Enter the Apocalyptic Wilderness

Chapter 285 Dongzhen Xumu
Chen Jin immediately stood up and chased after him in a flash!

The outer hall was empty. Even if Chen Jin used his spiritual consciousness to scan inch by inch, he couldn't find a shadow.

As for the place where the aura appeared before, there was no suspicious figure and no escape route, only a stone wall carved with reliefs.

Appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air?
Chen Jin frowned.

The second appearance of that aura proved that the other party actually existed and was not just a figment caused by his oversensitivity.

However, Zen Master Huiwen had vowed that there could be no one else here except them, so the problem came.

Where did this strange smell come from?

If it was a spirit body that originally existed in the Dao Palace, it would be fine if it was just after they entered!

"Has anyone encountered this before?"

Chen Jin's expression became more solemn as he recalled some of the words Zen Master Huiwen said.

He first sent a message to Qin Xiang and Zen Master Huiwen respectively, to the effect that he had sensed the presence of a strange aura again, but there was nothing abnormal in the area for the time being. He would always remain vigilant and contact them again if something was wrong.

Almost the next second after the message was sent, Qin and Xiang both gave him reassuring responses at the same time.

Chen Jin put the matter of the mysterious aura behind for the time being, returned to the central hall, and came to the old man in gray robe again.

This time, before he could speak, the old man's stiff, mechanical voice spoke first: "Yes, it only took thirty-two hours to pass the first round of tests. Even among all the challengers in the past, it is considered the best." Yes, it’s worthy of being a top-notch talent.”

"Senior, you are so complimentary." Chen Jin said politely.

The old man nodded: "The next test will be much more difficult. You must look at it carefully and understand it, and avoid being impetuous."

Chen Jin was startled and quickly reacted: "Thank you, senior, for your advice!"

"Go!"

Chen Jin returned to the place where he meditated with some hesitation.

If his feeling was correct, the old man's reminder just now was a little gentler and more alive than before, at least it didn't have that machine-like stiffness.

Is this a gradual recovery of intelligence?

Perhaps it is because higher-level inheritance requires more intelligent spiritual guidance.

From this point of view, after he passes all the tests, the old man's intelligence is likely to further recover, and by then he may be able to get the method to open the secret hall from him!

With this in mind, Chen Jin took out the access token for the Heaven Supervising Tower.

This token is not only a symbol of status, which can protect the owner from the attack of the forbidden air circle, but it is also a rare magic weapon that combines offense and defense, with the ability to automatically protect the owner.

Chen Jin activated it, and then sat down cross-legged again, still using the traction to lead his spirit into the illusion.

……

"The sky is full of stars, reflecting everything in the world."

In his ears, a slightly older voice sounded.

Chen Jin quickly opened his eyes.

The place he was in at this time was not a school, but a wide square with a layout quite similar to that of the Astrology Hall.

In the center of the square, there is also a high platform of about three meters, on which an old man with a chest-length beard sits.

Chen Jin and a group of young men and women sat together under the high platform, with a piece of silk on each of his crossed knees.

The old man on the stage did not look at them, but looked up at the unobstructed boundless starry sky: "The world is changing like a chess game in the fog."

"Of course, by observing the movement of stars in the sky, you can gain insight into the chessboard."

The old man's voice was not loud, but Chen Jin could hear every word clearly, as if he was sitting across from the old man, listening to his teachings alone.

"Today, what you have to learn is the true art of stargazing, observing destiny, predicting good and bad luck, and keeping everything under control."

The old man waved his sleeves.

Several rays of starlight were sent to the young men and women by the old man like a goddess scattering flowers.

In front of Chen Jin, there was also a light blue light spot.

The old man's voice came immediately: "Concentrate and probe into it with your spiritual consciousness."

Chen Jin followed the old man's words and probed into his spiritual consciousness.

In an instant, chessboards unfolded before his eyes. Each chessboard had an endgame, and detailed rules were suspended near the chessboard.

These endgames are not difficult. After Chen Jin understood them, he easily solved them.

Soon, more boards appeared and the rules became more and more complex.

At the beginning, Chen Jin was able to do it with ease, but gradually he felt the pressure. In the end, the chessboard even expanded to the entire world! The number of chess pieces has also become tens of thousands, and there are often hundreds of rules!
This allows each chess piece to have many variables. These variables are not independent, but will interfere with and influence each other.

When there are fewer variables, the presence of the other will not change much between the two.

But once there are too many variables, the weak influence will be magnified and magnified, like a snowball. Perhaps the inadvertent movement of a chess piece will affect the outcome of the entire battle!
Chen Jin had some enlightenment in a daze.

This chess game is complex enough, but it is nothing compared to the real world.

If you want to win the chess game, it is impossible to do it by calculation alone. You must understand these thousands of changes and even understand their essential laws.

Just like the innate infinite picture!
At this moment, Chen Jin found the connection between stargazing and the Innate Wuji Diagram, and also understood why "Ji" asked him to practice this technique.

Stargazing is observing the principles of heaven and earth.

In the following time, Chen Jin devoted himself completely to the study of stargazing. He listened to the old man's teachings, and then entered the chess game to put the knowledge he learned into practice.

As his understanding of some principles continued to deepen, many of the original incomprehensible aspects of the Innate Infinity Diagram were easily solved.

Although he is practicing stargazing, his cultivation progress of the Innate Infinite True Solution is also progressing at an extremely fast speed.

He was completely immersed in cultivation. In such selfless and hard cultivation, three years passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, after he solved a puzzle as usual, the illusion around him suddenly began to dissipate.

When he came to his senses, he was back in class.

The old man on the podium glanced at him approvingly: "Not bad."

Chen Jin quickly saluted: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

The old man nodded slightly: "You have learned everything I know, and you can leave along the path outside the door."

Chen Jin bowed again.

However, just as he was about to leave, a muffled sound of "pop" suddenly came from beside him!
Chen Jin followed the sound and saw that in the area diagonally opposite to him, a young man in rich clothes suddenly vomited blood. His clothes, which were embroidered with complicated patterns, were already covered with blood stains.

The old man on the stage frowned slightly and looked at the young man who was vomiting blood: "Don't be brave, your spiritual consciousness is exhausted, and you have to force the deduction. It will only get twice the result with half the effort, and even damage the foundation."

"Let's go back and rest for two days, and then come back to enlightenment."

The young man's pupils shrank and he struggled to explain: "Mr. Wu, I..."

The old man closed his eyes and said nothing.

Seeing this, the young man gritted his teeth and said with difficulty after a while: "Yes!"

He forced himself to stand up and glanced at the men and women around him with gloomy eyes.

Those who came into contact with his gaze, whether they were secretly observing him or secretly mocking him, all turned their gazes away, as if they did not dare to look at him.

The young man snorted coldly, turned around and walked toward the exit.

When the young man turned around angrily, Chen Jin saw the other person's appearance clearly.

Somewhat familiar.

Chen Jin was stunned for a moment: "The guy from the previous level who was suspected to be Qin Shihuang's son?"

Chen Jin didn't understand why this guy would come out and perform a cutscene every time he cleared a level.

He thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, so he just thought it was a coincidence of old memories.

Chen Jin left the class and walked along the path as the old man said. Soon after passing through a huge door, he came to a courtyard.

He saw the young man again, his eyebrows and eyes were still full of gloom, and there was even a hint of imperceptible violence. Next to the young man, a beautiful young woman was saying something with a worried expression.

At this moment, Chen Jin was not far away from the two people, but he could not hear clearly the content of their conversation.

"Maybe it was a flaw in the illusion itself that the conversation between the two people was not recorded." And just as Chen Jin judged, the two figures quickly disappeared.

Chen Jin didn't think much, and after taking a few more steps, the illusion around him began to break, and his soul returned to the real world.

Three years in the fantasy world is just over three months in reality.

He moved his stiff shoulders, let out a breath, stood up, walked through the unconscious spirits sitting cross-legged in the hall, and came to the foot of the high platform.

On the high platform, the old man in gray robe heard the voice, and his dark brown pupils were no longer cloudy, but became clearer.

Seeing Chen Jin, the old man smiled slightly: "It's been a long time since a genius has reached this point."

He pointed at the three runes suspended in front of him, "I have passed two levels in a few months. I have a superior qualification. I am qualified to pass on these three secret techniques."

As Chen Jin had guessed before, as he passed through the checkpoints, the spiritual old man in front of him who was responsible for guarding the inheritance gradually recovered his mind. Now, the other party has long lost the mechanical and numbness of the past, and his speech and behavior are different. Apart from being a little stiff, he is almost the same as a real person.

The old man spoke slowly, and first pointed to a rune on the far left and said: "This technique is called "Dongzhen Xumu". It has the effect of seeing through illusions and tracing back to the source. After practicing to the extreme, you can even see through the essence of everything in the world at a glance. The weakness of the enemy."

The old man moved his fingers to the middle, "The name of this technique is "Huangtian Secret Record". It is a kind of divination technique. It can predict good and bad luck and predict the future."

Predict future?

Chen Jing just wanted to ask what the restrictions were, and the old man continued: "That being said, you have also experienced tests and have some understanding of stargazing. These secret techniques are all derived from stargazing, and naturally there are some defect."

"First of all, things in the future are ever-changing, and any small variable may have a huge impact on it. "Huangtian Secret Record" actually only calculates the most likely outcome based on some existing things. ”

"On the one hand, this result is not necessarily accurate. On the other hand, if someone is also proficient in this technique, you may be interfered by the other party." The old man said, "In addition, you cannot interfere too deeply in the things you predict, otherwise the result will be There will also be huge deviations.”

Understood.

It is said to be "predicting the future", but there are many limitations. Not only is it easily interfered by others, but it cannot be counted on oneself... Even if one does not participate and no one else interferes, the predicted results may not be completely accurate.

Chen Jin nodded and almost immediately excluded this inheritance from the options.

The old man continued: "As for this last inheritance, it is a relatively rare attack and killing technique of stargazing. This technique was created by a strong man in the past. It can use the power of the stars to defeat the enemy and has extremely powerful power. Yes. It is said that the strong man once used this technique to fight a foreigner who was close to the immortal level. Although he died from exhaustion, he still killed the enemy with a thunderous blow. "

"Foreign race?" Chen Jin keenly captured this somewhat special word, "Senior, does this foreign race refer to the 'Celestial Being' clan?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know?" Chen Jin was stunned for a moment.

"I don't know." The old man's face remained unchanged, "I have been waiting in this palace for a long time, and my memory is not complete. I only have some understanding of these inheritances. We have no idea what happened in the later generations."

Chen Jin frowned and asked quickly: "Does the senior know how to open the central hall of the secret method?"

"I don't know."

Chen Jin's face looked a little ugly.

Do you really not know? Or is it that the old man's spiritual intelligence has not fully recovered at this moment, and when he gets the inheritance, he may be able to get a different answer?

Chen Jin thought so and asked.

The old man thought for a moment and confirmed his guess: "After the passer-through obtains the inheritance, my sanity will indeed be restored to some extent. The main purpose is to answer your questions when you practice secret techniques."

"At that time, I may have some understanding of what you are asking about."

The old man did not give an accurate answer. He only said, "Maybe I have some understanding." This was not the answer Chen Jin wanted.

However, there is no way.

This is already the most likely way to get the method to open the hall. Even if there is only one percent chance, you must continue to try!

Chen Jin composed himself and forcibly turned his attention to the three runes.

When the old man introduced him just now, he had already made up his mind.

First of all, the purely auxiliary secret technique "Huangtian Secret Record" was not within the scope of his consideration. First, it had too many disadvantages. Second, this secret technique did not have much effect on Chen Jin.

Secondly, Chen Jin does not lack the means to attack and kill, so there is only one person who is truly suitable for Chen Jin.

The hole is really empty!

Seeing through illusions and discerning weaknesses are extremely useful abilities.

Seeing that Chen Jin had made a decision, the old man nodded slightly: "If you want to obtain this inheritance, you must pass a test."

The old man pointed with one hand and sent the rune that sealed the "Dongzhen Virtual Eye" to Chen Jin. "It contains the training method of this technique. You only need to cultivate the first level within the specified time and break the assessment requirements." The illusion can unlock the seal of the inheritance rune."

Chen Jin thanked the old man and grabbed the rune in his hand.

At the same time, Chen Jin found that the scenery around him began to change.

The sitting spirit bodies around him gradually disappeared, and the ground beneath his feet gradually turned into a huge martial arts stage.

Immediately, a figure appeared on the opposite side.

The shadow looked like a humanoid overall, but it also had obvious characteristics of a monster. The most conspicuous thing was that the exposed skin was covered with a thick layer of scales.

At this moment, the murals he had seen in the stargazing passage instantly appeared in Chen Jin's mind!

"Heaven"!
Chen Jin was startled. Before he could react, the figure on the opposite side quickly came to kill him!
Chen Jin didn't have time to think too much and took action immediately, but then he discovered that in this illusion, his strength seemed to be greatly suppressed!
No matter what method he uses, the opponent always has a way to break it, steadily suppressing him, making him feel helpless and unable to stand up.

After a while, the figure's third eye suddenly opened on his forehead, and a divine light burst out from it, piercing Chen Jin's chest in his unexpected eyes!

Chen Jin's eyes flashed as he found himself in the central hall again.

Obviously, he failed the test of inheriting the runes.

Seeing that he had regained consciousness, the spiritual old man opposite him did not speak, probably because he had anticipated such a situation.

After Chen Jin thought for a moment, he realized that the illusion was not real. He could not break through it with brute force. He had to cultivate the "Dongzhen Xumu" to have a chance to break through.

He calmed down and began to carefully study the inheritance provided by the old man.

This "Dongzhen Xumu" has a total of thirteen levels. Even if it is only the first level, it has considerable power. If it is perfected, it can even see through the illusions of immortals.

Of course, this is just a theoretical conjecture. Even the founder of this technique has only reached the eleventh level. He deduced the last two levels out of thin air.

And if Chen Jin can obtain the inheritance runes and rely only on the real power in his body to exert power that is roughly equivalent to the eighth level, he estimates that by then few illusions of the Star Reaching level will be able to trap him.

For such a powerful secret technique, he was bound to obtain it.

In the following time, he devoted himself to practicing again, and would try to break the illusion every once in a while.

The enemies that appear in the illusion are different every time, but the common point is that their strength always overwhelms Chen Jin. However, as Chen Jin gradually deepens his practice in the True Void Eyes, he gradually discovers that these enemies all have fatal hidden dangers under their powerful strength. weakness.

A month later, he finally defeated the enemy that appeared in the illusion for the first time.

Just when he was secretly delighted, the second opponent appeared.

This time the opponent is stronger and his weaknesses are more hidden.

It took Chen Jin three months to defeat his second opponent.

And then the third opponent turned into all kinds of fears deep in Chen Jin's heart, which made him think of a word.

Heart demon.

The illusion assessment here can mobilize the inner demons of the trialists as a test! And because the inner demon comes from the body, its weaknesses are also naturally phantomed. There are no rules to follow at all, making it even more difficult to break through!

But Chen Jin was still not discouraged at all. He just continued to study the inheritance of "Dongzhen Xumu" and practice this mysterious secret technique.

At the same time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this ability to see through the essence of things also helped him visualize the innate infinite picture, which made Chen Jin immersed in cultivation without sleep or food.

Five months later, Chen Jin challenged again.

The first two levels were no longer an obstacle to him, and he successfully passed them easily.

Immediately, he took a deep breath, kneaded the secret in his hand, and the Great Sun Dharma Appearance appeared behind him, preparing to face the third, most difficult level.

The surrounding air fluctuated strangely, as if some creature had broken in.

A figure appeared opposite Chen Jin.

Wearing a modern black tights, she showed off her beautiful figure that is unique to women. The long golden hair was flying in the wind, and the ends of the hair were dyed with a touch of red, as if they were burning flames.

The other party stared at Chen Jin for a moment, his golden eyes extremely cold, but if you look carefully, it seemed that there was a trace of complicated emotions hidden.

Looking at that perfect and delicate familiar face, Chen Jin couldn't help but froze for a moment, and even stopped the movements of the kneading gesture.

"An Liang?"
