Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, everyone. This is the Taoist Water Mirror Technique. It's designed to allow everyone to watch their disciples break through the barriers."

The art of water mirror is said to have existed since ancient times.

But even in sects like Wangcheng Mountain or Huanglong Mountain, it has long been lost.

So even though Lu Xiao told them not to be surprised, everyone still couldn't suppress their shock.

At this time, Lu Xiao picked up the wine glass in his hand, raised it behind him, and said.

"Thank you, Senior, weren't you very interested in the Five Stages of Inner Conscience I mentioned earlier? Why don't you try it first? It would be a perfect example for the younger generation in Snow Moon City. As I said before, the Five Stages of Inner Conscience have many benefits even for Sword Immortal Realm experts."

After hearing this, Xie Xuan's curiosity intensified.

"Oh? If you put it that way, I really want to give it a try."

Chapter 179: Confucian Sword Immortal's Conscience

Xie Xuan's appearance obviously surprised everyone present.

However, when they heard that Xie Xuan would first go through the five levels of self-examination, their attitudes immediately changed.

This is the Confucian Sword Immortal, one of the five greatest sword immortals in the world.

No, now it's the Six Great Sword Immortals.

Although Lu Xiao's name has not yet appeared on the Bai Xiao Hall Hundred Weapons List, this does not affect his status as a Sword Immortal.

In the attic, Lu Xiao gestured to Xie Xuan again to invite her in. Xie Xuan didn't hesitate and immediately left the venue.

The venue of the Hundred Flowers Festival was located not far from the Dengtian Pavilion, just one street away.

So after a few breaths, Xie Xuan appeared at Dengtian Pavilion.

When he stepped onto the first floor of the Ascension Pavilion, his figure also appeared above the light curtain in the sky.

Then Lu Xiao began to introduce.

"This first stage of self-examination tests one's resistance to money."

As the words fell, Xie Xuan, within the light curtain in the sky, took her first step with a curious expression.

Then the scene on the first floor of the Dengtian Pavilion changed.

Gold, silver, jewelry, jade

Rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, natural treasures

11 The pictures flashed quickly, and the "temptation" in each picture was different.

There are vulgar silver coins, various martial arts secrets, peerless magic weapons, and even many elegant items.

Each one corresponds to a different material preference.

"Everyone, within this illusion array of mine, the senses of anyone who enters it will be slowed down countless times. So although the images we see flash by quickly, for those who are breaking through, a long time has actually passed. One breath outside the array is one day inside."

Lu Xiao continued to fulfill his duties as commentator, helping everyone understand the details of the test more clearly.

The first hurdle in self-examination is not so much the temptation of money as it is the temptation of material things.

After all, as long as we are human, we will inevitably have various hobbies.

Even the Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan could hardly contain his excitement when he saw those precious ancient books.

Fortunately, his resolve was strong enough, and the temptations from external things in the first level did not really affect him.

After about seventy breaths, all the illusions finally disappeared.

At this time, Xie Xuan had already reached the entrance to the second floor.

At this time, Lu Xiao said, "The first three levels of the Heart-Searching Test are roughly the same in difficulty, each lasting one incense stick. Anyone who can pass the final level, regardless of their martial arts talent, will at least reach the Free Earth Realm in this lifetime. Those who can pass a level within a hundred breaths will have the potential to reach the Free Heaven Realm."

At this time, someone asked: "What if the first three levels can be cleared within a hundred breaths?"

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Of course, he has the talent to become a Sword Immortal. Of course, talent is talent, but whether he can ultimately become a Sword Immortal depends on his own efforts and opportunities."

As they spoke, Xie Xuan had already reached the second floor of the Ascension Pavilion and began the second stage of the Heart-Searching Test.

The second level tests people's ability to face the temptation of beauty.

As the test began, various beauties immediately appeared on the screen in the sky.

Each one has a stunning appearance.

These beauties will seduce the intruders through various means.

Once a challenger is seduced by beauty, he is almost doomed to fail.

After all, if you really count the time of an incense stick, it passes very quickly.

However, Xie Xuan found the second level much easier than the first.

It took him less than fifty breaths to pass this level and reach the entrance to the third floor.

Next is the third level.

This is the temptation of power to people.

In this level, players will play different roles.

The head of a family, the head of a sect, an official of a place, or even the emperor of a country.

Power is more alluring than material possessions and beauty.

Because once you have power, the other two things will be readily available.

In addition, when power reaches a certain level, one can decide life and death with a single word.

This kind of temptation is definitely something that money and beauty cannot provide.

So compared to the first three levels, the third level is actually the most difficult.

Fortunately, Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan was not one who was keen on power, so this level was not difficult for him.

This time, it took him fifty-five breaths to complete the process.

If you calculate it this way, he actually spent the longest time on the first level.

Everyone in the meeting hall looked up at the sky, each of them secretly marveling at the miraculous methods employed by Snow Moon City.

At the same time, they were even more curious about the fourth and fifth levels.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

Everyone could only see a vague shadow stepping onto the fourth floor, but they couldn't see what exactly happened on the fourth floor.

Everyone looked at Lu Xiao curiously.

"Lu Jianxian, what's going on? Could it be that there's a problem with the formation in the Ascension Pavilion?"

Lu Xiao said directly: "No problem, the fourth level is like this."

"Huh?" Everyone was puzzled.

Lu Xiao explained, "The fourth level tests one's inner obsessions, or perhaps even inner demons. Any obsession or inner demon is inevitably related to some tragic past experience of the challenger. Therefore, the scenes displayed within this level's illusionary realm represent the challenger's deepest secrets. I imagine that if you were in their shoes, you wouldn't want your secrets to be known, right?"

After hearing this explanation, everyone put themselves in the other person's shoes and immediately shook their heads without hesitation.

Just kidding, only a fool would nod.

Lu Xiao continued, "So, when I set up the fourth level formation, I deliberately blurred the water mirror image. Everyone outside can only see the progress of the people trying to pass the level, but can't see the specific content."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded immediately, saying, "Of course, of course."

Then everyone turned their attention back to the sky.

Although the image was blurry, they could clearly see the figure representing Xie Xuan getting closer and closer to the entrance to the fifth floor.

Even so, Xie Xuan's time this time was several times longer than the previous three levels combined.

After about one third of the incense stick's time.

The image in the sky then became clearer.

Then everyone saw Xie Xuan sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

It was as if he had experienced something extremely terrifying in the fourth level.

At this time, Lu Xiao couldn't help but say: "As expected of a Confucian Sword Immortal Senior, he cleared the level in only a third of the time. He's truly amazing."

After hearing this, everyone immediately asked.

"Is one-third of the time impressive? Senior Confucian Sword Immortal cleared the previous three levels within a hundred breaths."

Lu Xiao said, "I've said before that the five levels of the Heart Examination don't factor in cultivation. The first three levels are roughly equal in difficulty, testing the resolve of the challenger. However, the fourth level is a little different, as it tests one's obsession. The higher one's cultivation, the deeper their obsession, unless they have none. Therefore, Senior Confucian Sword Immortal was able to clear the level in one-third the time of an incense stick, proving he has the talent for spiritual travel."

As soon as the word "divine travel" came out, everyone was stunned.

After all, for most people in the martial arts world, the mysterious realm of the gods only exists in legends.

Chapter 180 Broken Mirror

The Mysterious Realm of Divine Wandering is a realm that most people present would never dare to dream of in their entire lives.

But at this moment, Lu Xiao told everyone that the Confucian Sword Immortal had the ability to travel through time.

They had no doubt about it.

After all, he was a Confucian Sword Immortal.

It would be unbelievable if even such a person had no hope of entering the realm of divine wandering.

Inside the Ascension Pavilion, after passing the fourth level, the Confucian Sword Immortal rested for a moment before heading towards the fifth floor.

A moment later, as he reached the fifth floor, the illusion reappeared.

However, the scene that emerged from the illusion this time was completely different from the previous one.

At this time, the speed of the images flickering in the sky slowed down a lot.

It takes several breaths to change.

But every time, the age of the Confucian Sword Immortal in the picture is different.

Sometimes it's a teenager, sometimes it's a middle-aged person, and sometimes it's an old person.

At the same time, his identity is constantly changing.

But they are all very common identities, such as scholars, farmers, tavern owners, etc.

They are just ordinary people that can be found everywhere in life.

However, no matter what his identity was, he always held books in his hands, all kinds of books.

After seeing these images, everyone in the venue was filled with doubts.

"Is this considered a self-examination? Why do I feel like it's just some ordinary people's life scenes?"

At this moment, Lu Xiao began to explain.

"Everyone, I've said that this fifth level is more of a reward than a test."

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Actually, anyone who passes the first four levels is already qualified to join my Snow Moon City. This fifth level is the reward I specially set for them."

"This level has a unique name, called [Refining the Heart in the Red Dust]. Every image that flashes across the sky right now represents a lifetime the challenger has experienced within the illusion. These images are merely fragments from that lifetime. You can understand the benefits of this level on your own, but I want to tell you that the longer you persevere through it, the greater the benefits you will gain. If you can persist for a hundred lifetimes without forgetting your original aspiration, you will surely enter a state of spiritual journey in this lifetime."

This was the second time Lu Xiao had said the word "wandering" today.

However, [the talent for spiritual journey] and [the necessity to enter spiritual journey] are two completely different concepts.

Regardless of whether what Lu Xiao said was true or not.

Anyway, after hearing this, everyone stared at the sky intently.

Count how many times the screen changed.

Ten times, twenty times, forty times, fifty times

Finally, when the ninety-third scene ended, the illusion disappeared.

Then they saw Xie Xuan sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed on the fifth floor of the Ascension Pavilion.

Everyone felt sorry for this.

Seven times short of one hundred.

It's really a pity.
