Chapter 366 Concepts and Willpower
Just when Wu Chi was struggling to hold on, a purple light flashed on the prison platform, and he let out a scream, and one of them was suddenly sent off the prison platform by the order talisman.
Not everyone can bear this kind of terrible pain, especially when the talisman is in hand. The pain of being repeatedly tortured can easily break the limit of a person's tolerance and make people give up. .
At this moment, the first person to fall from the prison platform was the person who was lucky enough to get a talisman later. In terms of strength, he was actually far inferior to those strong men who had occupied the cave for many years. Maybe he is just a little better than Wu Chi.
But how could he have such a strong will as Wu Chi? He only died three times under the burning flames, but his will was completely destroyed and he directly chose to give up.
Recovering from that kind of pain, this gave him an uncontrollable sense of fear, and it could even be said to have destroyed the slightest illusion he had about the fourth level of the prison he had broken into!
In fact, he would never want to go to the Prison Platform a second time. It was simply inhuman torture. Experiencing it once would be enough to completely lose all courage.
Cold sweat broke out on his hair. Even though he had landed on the prison platform at this moment, his body was still trembling slightly uncontrollably.
"You gave up after just one stick of incense. Why do you still want to grab the talisman when you know you are such a waste?"
In his ears, a cold voice slowly sounded, and he suddenly woke up.
"Yang...Master Xiuchuan! I really can't hold on any longer. Please spare my life, Master Xiuchuan."
Seeing Yang Xiuchuan next to him, he had just come to his senses when the man was frightened and broke into a cold sweat again. He knelt down with a plop and begged for mercy.
"puff!"
The spear in his hand shook slightly, and the tip of the spear suddenly pointed out, piercing the man's heart easily.
As if he had never done anything, Yang Xiuchuan turned to look at Ye Chenxing calmly and said, "This loser is probably stronger than Wu Chi. I'm curious, how long can Wu Chi last?"
"Strength and potential are two different things. Just like you remember Wu Chi's name, but do you remember his name?" Ye Chenxing glanced at the corpse on the ground and replied lightly.
He naturally knew that Wu Chi's strength was still very poor. In this situation, the hope of success in going to the prison platform was also very small, but he still named Wu Chi because he was optimistic about Wu Chi's potential.
Shaking his head, Yang Xiuchuan didn't even lower his head to take another look at the man's body. As Ye Chenxing said, he couldn't even remember the name of this unfortunate guy. How could he care about life and death?
The two people talked casually as if no one was around, not caring about the person's life or death, but for others, it was undoubtedly enough to cause a shock.
The man who died was actually a very famous genius among the third level of the prison world, and was even considered by many to be the one most qualified to occupy a cave after Yang Xiuchuan and the others left.
But even such a master could only hold on for a stick of incense on the prison platform.
More importantly, his death also allowed everyone to see the attitude and determination of Yang Xiuchuan and Ye Chenxing.
For the soul-fixing stone, they are really not afraid of killing people. No matter whether this person is a genius or not, it is completely meaningless in their eyes.
.....
Reborn in the flames again, Wu Chi clearly felt that nearly half of his soul power had been consumed.
If this continues, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long.
"No, we can't continue to be such an idiot."
Even under such horrific pain, Wu Chi remained extremely calm. By now, he could roughly guess the meaning of this prison platform.
If he also had the strength at the peak of the Dao Realm, he might still be able to try and see if he could push through. But with this kind of strength now, Wu Chi clearly understood that there was no possibility for him to survive to the end. If he wanted to pass the Prison Realm Platform, In the test, we must find out the key to crack the insights.
He quickly thought about everything that happened after he stepped onto the prison platform.
If this stupid method of holding on doesn't work, you naturally have to understand what the Prison Realm Platform wants to test, or what aspect you want people to make breakthroughs in, so that you can truly find the key to the problem.
In the beginning, it was killing with swords, axes and axes, but now it is burning with flames. The pain is increasing, and it is naturally more and more difficult to hold on with strength.
Wu Chi had a vague guess that the burning in flames was probably just the initial torture. As time went by, there would be more terrible torture to follow!
"No, maybe this kind of torture is just because I don't want anyone to survive it!"
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and Wu Chi reacted immediately.
This is just a test on the prison stage and it is already so terrifying. So what kind of terrifying scene will it be once you step into the fourth level of the prison?
Yang Xiuchuan and Ye Chenxing may be able to survive the test of the Prison Realm Stage with their strong strength, but once they step into the fourth level of the Prison Realm, this advantage will disappear!
Perhaps this is the key reason why they never dare to enter the fourth level of the prison world easily?
Soul-fixing stone!
If Wu Chi didn't understand what the Soul-fixing Stone was before, then under the test of the Prison Realm Platform, Wu Chi could guess the purpose of the Soul-fixing Stone.
A treasure that strengthens the soul, or even restores it.
If it is the same as on the prison platform, and you need to endure this kind of torture, then having a few more soul-fixing stones means you have more powerful soul power, and you will naturally have more confidence. .
However, is this idea really correct?
If it were anyone else, thinking of the Soul-fixing Stone, they would definitely think that this was a reminder, but Wu Chi suddenly felt that maybe the Soul-fixing Stone might be a misleading thing!
Yes, whether the soul is strong or not has a great impact on persistence under such painful torture, but this is not necessarily the most critical thing.
Just like the command talisman, the command talisman is a kind of protection on the prison platform, but in fact, when it comes to actually breaking into the prison world, the command talisman has no meaning at all!
So, is the soul-fixing stone something similar?
Thinking of this, Wu Chi's mind completely opened up.
If we put aside the soul, what is the real test of this terrible torture?
Without a doubt, it’s willpower!
Only by having a truly strong willpower can one not be crushed by this endless torture, and only then can one truly survive all the tests successfully.
As soon as he thought about this, Wu Chi suddenly had a crazy idea in his mind!
If the real test here is willpower, then why must we spend all our energy to resist? Instead of wasting a lot of energy and strength to resist these threats, why not simply relax your mind, survive in death, and truly face death with willpower?
At this moment, Wu Chi naturally thought of Ye Chenxing's realm of life and death again.
There is life in death!
If death is inevitable in this test, then why can't life be hidden in death?
Back in Yechenxing's realm of life and death, Wu Chi had actually touched the edge of the path of life and death. Now he had an epiphany again and immediately let go of his mind. All his strength then converged and he calmly endured the burning of the flames. .
Just as Wu Chi expected, when he completely relaxed his mind and stopped trying to resist the burning of the flames, the speed of death was not much faster than before. On the contrary, because of this, he gained more insights into the path of life and death.
Enlightenment!
Under this horrific and painful torture, Wu Chi suddenly gave up all resistance, and instead realized the great truth between life and death time and time again.
If other people saw such a scene, they would go crazy!
In a crisis, people's instinct is to protect themselves. Even if they know it is inevitable, they will want to delay it as much as possible to reduce the pain. Therefore, when everyone suffers this kind of pain, they will naturally resist subconsciously and hold on subconsciously!
This doesn't even have anything to do with innate character. The most important thing is mentality and concepts.
Only by jumping out of the circle can you see more things.
The truth of many things is so simple, but in fact, there are only very few people who can actually do it.
Of course, just being aware of this isn’t enough!
It is also extremely difficult to stay calm under such horrific torture, or even to calm down and comprehend the great path! And what this requires is strong willpower.
.....
In fact, Wu Chi didn't know that even Yang Xiuchuan and Ye Chenxing hadn't fully understood this truth yet.
This is not to say that Wu Chi is smarter than Ye Chenxing and others, but it is just the inertial thinking in different environments.
Ye Chenxing relied on the Avenue of Life and Death to easily ignore life and death in the prison world, and even took the opportunity to further understand the Avenue of Life and Death! Therefore, Ye Chenxing understood that in order to pass the test of the Hell Realm Platform, in addition to holding on hard, the only way was to rely on perception.
It was precisely because Wu Chi had sustained himself under his realm of life and death before that he had reason to believe that Wu Chi might also comprehend the Tao during the test of the Prison Realm Platform and pass the test.
But Ye Chenxing's limitation made him understand the path of life and death, and he subconsciously ignored the importance of willpower. Instead, he believed that the key to entering the fourth level of the prison world lay in his understanding of the path of life and death and the strength of his soul.
As for Yang Xiuchuan, on the contrary, Yang Xiuchuan himself was extremely strong, and his willpower was equally terrifying. He did not understand the road of life and death at all, but relied on his strong strength and willpower to survive the test of the prison platform.
Therefore, Yang Xiuchuan simply believes that the key to entering the fourth level of the prison world lies in willpower and the strength of the soul.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Xiuchuan and Ye Chenxing attach so much importance to the soul-fixing stone.
In terms of strength and willpower, Wu Chi is now not as good as Yang Xiuchuan. In terms of understanding of the road of life and death, he is not as good as Ye Chenxing, so he can see it more thoroughly.
