I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 146: Character First
Zhong Lixiao had never felt that the eyes in the dark were so terrifying as he did now.

For a person who has all kinds of secrets, this is simply an ultimate weapon.

Fortunately, these are all tests of the soul. As long as the soul is not lost, there will always be a turning point in the end.

Just as Zhong Lixiao was clinging to the last bit of clarity in his mind, those prying eyes finally disappeared one by one.

Zhong Lixiao slowly opened his eyes and couldn't help but exhale a breath.

When he looked around again, he unexpectedly discovered that he had reached the twentieth step.

Zhong Lixiao suddenly realized.

He finally understood why the fear in his heart had been following him like a shadow and he couldn't get rid of it. Those eyes that were spying on his secrets, even from far away to near, took root in his heart little by little.

It turns out that the assessment played a little trick here - as long as you start the eleventh level test, your feet will climb up unconsciously.

The fear in your heart will naturally be magnified step by step.

terrible!
Is this a test on the spiritual level?
For the first time, Zhong Lixiao felt awe towards his inner demon!

However, after overcoming his fear, Zhong Lixiao clearly felt that his spiritual awareness had grown to a certain extent.

The spiritual consciousness that originally looked like tiny grains of sand had increased in number by at least one tenth.

Moreover, the color of the sand also became sparkling, as if it was illuminated by silver light.

There was sudden surprise in Zhong Lixiao's eyes.

Is this the Ladder of Inquiry into the Heart at Baiyun Temple?

It’s really magical!
Zhong Lixiao looked at the steps above and took another step forward.

Then the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

Everywhere around him were voices congratulating him for yet another huge breakthrough in his cultivation.

Zhong Lixiao sensed it a little bit and found that his body was filled with power that was unimaginable in the early stage of foundation building.

The surging true energy in the Dantian and the overflowing spiritual consciousness in the Purple Palace.

It seemed that he had endless magical powers and could do whatever he wanted.

The confidence, joy and sense of security that come from strength are swelling up and gradually coming over me.

Zhong Lixiao immediately understood that this level was not a test of fear, but a test of temptation.

Zhong Lixiao was not afraid, but he didn't underestimate it either.

As for temptation, after his ancestor broke through the Jindan stage and he broke through the foundation-building stage, he had already fully experienced various temptations from reality.

In this regard, Zhong Lixiao prides himself on his discernment and judgment.

No one asks the poor in the downtown area, and the rich has distant relatives in the mountains.

Faced with the flatterers who stuck to him like dog-skin plasters after he made a breakthrough in his cultivation, Zhong Lixiao ignored them all.

Faced with the seemingly nonexistent compliments that can be heard everywhere in life, Zhong Lixiao doesn't take them to heart.

Faced with all kinds of temptations from beautiful women, Zhong Lixiao ignored them.

Seeing beauty as white bones makes me free from desire; seeing white bones as beauty makes me free from fear.

If there really is temptation, what in the world is more tempting than improving oneself?

Between sleep and wakefulness, Zhong Lixiao was in a trance, and it seemed to him that many years had passed.

He continued to improve himself in this way year after year and day after day.

then.

He has reached a bottleneck!

A feeling of anxiety gradually rose in my heart.

Zhong Lixiao was very familiar with this feeling.

After all, he had no idea how many years he had experienced this before awakening his magical powers.

This time, it seemed as if all the despair, frustration, and unwillingness that had been stuck in the bottleneck for more than ten years were released in an instant, as if to crush his heart in an instant.

The desire for a breakthrough was like a dam about to burst, with one wave higher than the other, constantly attacking his defenses.

Zhong Lixiao felt tremendous pressure. While trying to keep his mind clear, he also had confidence deep in his heart.

because.

He is a master of supernatural powers. He knows that hard work will bring rewards, and he can also eat a lot through his "gluttonous stomach". As long as he persists, he will always be able to break through his cultivation.

He is not in a hurry!
Then, Zhong Lixiao successfully improved his cultivation.

He once again tasted the great benefits brought to him by his supernatural powers!
After the breakthrough, even stronger temptations continued to come to him.

The old seniors who had been famous all over the world for who knows how many years sent him congratulations and blessings, and he became famous all over the world and was at the peak of his career.

Wherever you go, you see flattering smiling faces.

The most beautiful women in the world always looked at him with admiration in front of him.

Many beauties were so beautiful and charming that even though Zhong Lixiao knew they were all fake and illusions, he still couldn't help but be swayed.

Every frown and smile is full of love; every glance and expression is full of meaning.

Her eyes are full of you, her gaze is so vivid that it can draw lines. Even if she just looks at me like this, my heart will be moved.

Even in the real world, you may not find such a beauty.

then.

Zhong Lixiao decided not to look at those beauties anymore. He closed his eyes and used the secret method of killing thieves to cut off these troubles.

But what surprised Zhong Lixiao was that when faced with the beautiful woman's delicate call of "brother", he could not cut with the knife in his hand.

Then, words like - you say that everything is empty but you have your eyes closed. If you open your eyes and look at me, I don’t believe that your eyes are empty.

Zhong Lixiao was confused for a moment, as if he had really been tempted by worldly desires.

So in the end, Zhong Lixiao never opened his eyes again.

Just holding on to the last clarity of mind.

He didn't know how much time had passed, and the beautiful woman's voice finally disappeared, but for some reason it always rang in his ears again.

After surviving the beauty disaster, Zhong Lixiao once again achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation. This time, he gained a longer lifespan and even more terrifying martial power.

His reputation spread all over the world, so much so that more and more masters began to challenge him, hoping to step on his corpse to gain the upper hand.

Zhong Lixiao had no intention of rejecting the many challenges.

For Zhong Lixiao, achieving a breakthrough in strength and gaining a sense of security have always been one of the driving forces behind his pursuit of the Tao.

And where does the sense of security come from?

Of course, the firepower is strong enough to not be afraid of any challenge!

Battle after battle, Zhong Lixiao defeated many powerful enemies.

But the powerful enemies seem to be endless, and they are getting stronger and stronger!
He suffered more and more injuries and became more and more powerless. Facing the strong people who came to challenge him, he inevitably felt a greater sense of fear again.

Afraid of death, afraid of ruined reputation, afraid of the end of the path!
Therefore, Zhong Lixiao sought a breakthrough in his path more actively.

Because he had always relied on magical powers to make breakthroughs in the past, he still pinned his hopes on them this time, and even began to develop path dependence.

But what made him despair was that all the magical powers he had obtained were of no help to him in breaking through his cultivation level.

There was really no other way, so Zhong Lixiao began to search everywhere for a new master of magical powers, hoping to obtain a new seed of magical powers.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed!
Even if he searched the whole world, he still couldn't find any master of magical power who could seize the magical power seed.

Faced with the powerful enemy coming at him with great momentum, Zhong Lixiao felt a little desperate.

Fear and powerlessness continued to overwhelm my heart.

Then, Zhong Lixiao accidentally met the woman who disappeared because of his cruelty.

She is very talented and has mastered some secret dual cultivation method.

As long as you practice dual cultivation with her, you will be able to achieve a breakthrough.
Zhong Lixiao was overwhelmed by fear, powerlessness and despair and had lost hope. The arrival of this white moonlight woman became his last straw.

Is this the temptation?

The temptation of a breakthrough, the temptation of keeping everything you have, the temptation of making up for your regrets
Zhong Lixiao was almost lost!
Resisting temptation is too painful and too difficult, but giving up may be just a simple thought, or even a sweet dream.

Only then did he realize that resisting temptation was much more difficult than resisting fear!

The only thing Zhong Lixiao can do is to endure!
Because even at this level, the last bit of clarity in his mind was still firmly maintained.

In order to deal with the upcoming powerful enemy, Zhong Lixiao tried every possible way, but he never thought of giving up.

Because in the previous tests, procrastinating and enduring was not a solution, so Zhong Lixiao once again chose to rely on the old path.

This time, time seemed to be extremely long.

As a result, Zhong Lixiao's mind and body seemed to be engraved with rings of growth by time.

His physical functions declined, his thinking speed slowed down, his memory declined, and later on, he even began to show signs of the five signs of decline of the heavenly body.

Unable to break through, the great terror between life and death swept over again and again.
Then, all kinds of temptations came one after another.

There is a precious treasure in a certain family. If you borrow it, it can help you break through.

Zhong Lixiao tried to borrow it, but the treasure was extremely important to that family and could not be lent out.

Then, a voice sounded in his heart.

Kill, as long as you kill that person's entire family, the treasure will be ownerless.

Zhong Lixiao always felt that he was being devoured by the killing bit by bit, as if he was about to completely lose himself.

During this process, he could only rely on Buddhist and Taoist scriptures to continue to dissipate the murderous intent in his heart.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Zhong Lixiao felt that his soul was like a lonely lamp.

Swaying constantly in the darkness and strong wind, it could be blown out completely at any time.

The signs of the Five Decays of the Celestial Being became more and more serious, and Zhong Lixiao could even smell the foul odor on his body.

This is something that those who practice Taoism cannot tolerate!
But even so, he still did not choose to go on a killing spree.

To make matters worse, the powerful enemy finally arrived.

Zhong Lixiao, who was almost lost, calmed down instead, as if the boot in his heart had finally dropped to the ground.

He pulled up the spear beside him, which had accompanied him in battles for who knows how long, and resolutely charged towards the powerful enemy.

Before a strong enemy arrives, he can worry and be afraid, but when facing a strong enemy, there is no option of fearing the battle.

What Zhong Lixiao had never expected was that when he was determined to drag his broken body to die, he suddenly felt dazed and came out of the illusion.

When the focus of his eyes gradually returned, he was still in a trance for a long time.

After a long while, the influence of the illusion on his mind gradually disappeared, and it was no longer a problem.

And this is the power of the Ladder of Integrity!
When he looked at the other candidates climbing the Ladder of Inquiry again, Zhong Lixiao was surprised to find that he had unexpectedly been ranked first.

Zhong Lixiao then realized that he had climbed to the fiftieth step of the Ladder of Integrity without realizing it.

Many candidates who took the test at the same time and had already broken free from the illusion and were no longer able to continue climbing looked at Zhong Lixiao in surprise.

"how is this possible?"

Not to mention the ordinary candidates, even Prince Bao, Gu Yunting and Brother Paozhuanyinyu found it extremely unbelievable.

Prince Bao, in particular, couldn't help but frown.

This person
Wasn’t he the commoner he met on the way to Ascension Palace that day when he was driving a six-horse carriage?
Later in Dengxian Palace, Prince Bao saw this man talking loudly with other shallow people.

He didn't even look at him at that time, but he never thought that this person's performance in questioning his conscience was even better than his!

Prince Bao was unable to accept it for a while.

The pain and fear levels are relatively easy to pass, but how do you get through the temptation level?
Thinking of this, Prince Bao couldn't help but recall that in the illusion, he couldn't resist the temptation and became the Emperor of Man and Heaven.

On the one hand, he ruled over vast territories and became an emperor, on the other hand, he broke the rules set by the immortal sects and launched an army to attack many of them.

Then, Prince Bao was punished and was beaten by many immortal sects together, and died a miserable death.

In the end, he had no choice but to stop at the 49th step.

And this commoner actually resisted the temptation that came from his heart. Unbelievable!
