Chapter 226: Palace Examination, Finding the Way in the Book Mountain, Creating Your Own ‘Path’
‘Discovered? ’
Feeling the interesting look from Yunzhonglu, Lu Chen soon realized that his actions had been noticed by the other party.
Although Yunzhonglu had no ill intentions, Lu Chen still felt a lot of pressure.
This pressure had nothing to do with the momentum or Yunzhonglu's attitude towards him.
It came from Lu Chen's fear of Yunzhonglu.
You should know that Lu Chen could even detect the information of Yuanying stage cultivators before, and they did not notice his peeping.
But it was different when it came to Yunzhonglu.
Not only could he not see Yunzhonglu's information.
Even the other party could notice his small movements at the first time.
There is no doubt that Yunzhonglu's cultivation is very likely above Yuanying, reaching the level of Huashen stage.
For Lu Chen, the gap between him and Huashen stage is not an exaggeration to say that it is the gap between an ant and an elephant.
As long as the other party wants, he can easily pinch him to death.
It is this insecurity that brings Lu Chen a lot of pressure.
Although Lu Chen had thought that the White Deer Academy was not simple, he did not expect that it would be so extraordinary.
It was too rare for a white deer in the Spiritualization Stage to appear in a mortal dynasty.
However, this also reflected one thing from the side.
That is, the White Deer Academy definitely occupies a very important position in this True Immortal Trial.
Otherwise, Yunzhonglu would not appear here.
Just as Lu Chen was thinking about this, Yunzhonglu looked around and said, "Those who want to enroll, follow me."
After that, Yunzhonglu turned and walked into the academy.
Seeing this scene, the disciples of the four major families of the Daying Dynasty standing at the front of the crowd immediately followed.
After someone took the lead, the others naturally followed.
As soon as they stepped into the White Deer Academy, they found that the scene in front of them had changed.
What came into view was a huge mountain.
And everyone was standing at the foot of this mountain at this time.
There is no doubt that they have stepped into a certain "Sumeru space".
In a place that these candidates could not see, more than a dozen "teachers" from the White Deer Academy stood in an attic, looking at them curiously.
The so-called "teachers" are actually another name for "teachers" in the White Deer Academy.
To be able to be teachers here, their cultivation is naturally good.
Without exception, they are all great cultivators above the third realm.
And their aura is very neutral, and you can tell at a glance that they are not the kind of great cultivators of the third realm who have exhausted their potential.
They looked at the thousands of candidates below, as if they were judging which of these candidates are worthy of attention.
"How many of the candidates do you think can pass the test this time?"
Hearing this, a teacher from the academy thought for a moment and said: "If it is a normal enrollment, a hundred people at most."
"But now it is the True Immortal Trial that happens once every five hundred years. I think there should be many geniuses from the outside world among these candidates, so this time there may be more than a hundred people who can pass."
Hearing this person mention the True Immortal Trial, the other teachers from the academy around did not show much expression.
It was as if they had known about this for a long time.
At this time, a female teacher standing on the edge of the attic said casually while drinking: "No matter how many people pass, we just need to do our own thing."
As she said that, the female teacher noticed something and looked in the direction of Yi Hanqing in the crowd.
Rather than looking at Yi Hanqing, she was looking at the fine wine in Yi Hanqing's hand.
Although this place and the "Book Mountain and Sea of Learning" where the candidates are located belong to two different spaces.
But the female teacher seemed to be able to confirm the quality of the fine wine in Yi Hanqing's hand in some way.
She looked at the wine gourd in Yi Hanqing's hand greedily, smacked her lips and said: "It's a pot of good wine. I hope you can successfully enter the school, so that I can have a chance to drink the fine wine in your hand."
Just as the school teacher was paying attention to the candidates.
The voice of Yun Zhonglu also came to the ears of the candidates.
"Climb the Book Mountain and cross the Sea of Learning before you can enter the School Palace."
These words are said to everyone.
And the following words can only be heard by Lu Chen and other participants in the True Immortal Trial.
"If any of you feel that you can't continue to participate in the True Immortal Trial, you can come to the academy to find me at any time, and I can send you back."
"Don't worry, only you can hear this, don't think too much."
After that, the voice of Yunzhonglu disappeared completely.
Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng looked at each other and understood why a spirit beast like Yunzhonglu, who was in the God Transformation Stage, appeared in a mortal dynasty.
It was to give those who wanted to give up the trial a chance to leave.
Thinking of this, including Lu Chen and other trial participants, no longer had any concerns.
Now that the retreat has been found, they only need to concentrate on dealing with the trial next.
In addition, through this incident, the trial participants also understood the attitude of neutral forces like Yunzhonglu towards the trial participants.
Not only did they know the existence of the True Immortal Trial, but they also had no hostility towards the trial participants.
This is undoubtedly very good news for the trial participants.
After all, if even neutral forces like the White Deer Academy are hostile to the test-takers, they don’t know how they can pass this trial.
White Deer Academy, in front of the Book Mountain.
Since they already know the conditions for passing the academy assessment.
The examinees at the foot of Xueshan Mountain started to move.
Some anxious students immediately headed for the top of Shushan Mountain.
But soon they found that they had thought this test too easy.
There are many roads leading to Shushan Mountain, some of which are winding, some are straight, and some lead to nowhere.
In front of each road, there is a special stone tablet without words.
The reason why the first batch of examinees who set foot on Shushan Mountain failed to successfully climb the mountain was because there was an invisible wall blocking them from the way up the mountain.
When seeing these people, the examinees in the crowd began to think about something.
Not long after, Cui Lingfei of the Cui family was the first to come out.
"Get out of here."
Cui Lingfei waved his hand to push away the two examinees who were blocking him, and came directly to a stone tablet without words.
Then he found something and immediately stood in front of the stone tablet and closed his eyes to think.
The examinee who had just been pushed away by him looked a little unhappy, but after seeing that the one who pushed him away was the son of the Cui family, one of the four major families, he could only hide his dissatisfaction in his heart.
And he soon discovered that many people around him also followed Cui Lingfei's actions and randomly stopped in front of a wordless stone tablet.
There is no doubt that the key to climbing the Book Mountain is hidden in these wordless stone tablets.
Soon, everyone found that these wordless stone tablets seemed to be "wordless", but in fact, the way they observed the stone tablets at the beginning was wrong.
These stone tablets will only show words after being perceived by the soul.
And each of these stone tablets contains the corresponding exercises.
And these exercises are not ordinary, the worst ones can reach the realm of Yuanying.
Some of them can even reach the level of Shenhua and even Mahayana.
And when it reaches Mahayana, it can actually be regarded as "immortal method".
Because after the cultivator reaches Mahayana, if he wants to go further, he can't just follow the footsteps of his predecessors, but must also walk his own path.
There is a path to the Book Mountain, and diligence is the way. Now, what these candidates have to do is to choose a path that suits them among the numerous stone tablets.
And it is from these stone tablets that everyone knows the key to climbing the Book Mountain.
That is, they must learn a certain skill from these stone tablets and improve this skill to a certain level before they can completely climb the Book Mountain.
This requirement is undoubtedly very harsh, because it is equivalent to asking the candidates to start all over again.
Moreover, it is not enough to just choose a "path". Candidates must also judge whether the path they choose is right based on their own situation.
If they choose the right one, then they will get twice the result with half the effort in their practice.
If they choose the wrong one, then they will get half the result with twice the effort.
Sometimes, choice also determines a person's upper limit.
Among the crowd, Cui Lingfei, who was the first to perceive the stone tablet, had opened his eyes at this time.
"No, this is not the preaching tablet that the old man told me about..."
After saying that, Cui Lingfei walked towards other stone tablets.
The other disciples from the four major families also started to walk past the stone tablets one by one like him.
That's right, unlike the other ordinary candidates who knew nothing about the White Deer Academy.
These disciples from the four major families knew very well what the assessment content of the White Deer Academy was.
And the White Deer Academy had no intention of hiding it.
After all, birth can sometimes determine a person's upper limit, and there has never been any absolute fairness in this world.
Moreover, the assessment of the "Book Mountain and Sea of Learning" of the White Deer Academy has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
The assessment is placed here, and whether it can be passed depends entirely on the candidate's understanding and qualifications.
Knowing the content of the exam in advance only gives them more time to think about their future route.
But whether they can finally climb the Book Mountain is hard to say.
Seeing that everyone has begun to comprehend the stone tablets, Shangguan Yunmeng beside Lu Chen asked curiously: "Young Master, don't we go over now? I see that some people have already gone up the mountain."
In response, Lu Chen did not respond, but focused on the direction of the Book Mountain.
You know, he has been keeping this action since he came in, as if the book mountain has a huge attraction for him.
Not only that, Lu Chen's eyes became empty, as if he had entered into some kind of enlightenment, so he turned a deaf ear to Shangguan Yunmeng's words.
Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yunmeng immediately became curious.
As Shangguan Yunmeng, who thinks she is a "smart ghost", her main goal is to pretend to be smart in front of smart people.
And the best way to do this is to do what smart people do.
In her eyes, Lu Chen is not only a smart person, but also the smartest one among her peers.
Whatever he does, you just need to do it yourself, it's right!
With this idea, Shangguan Yunmeng immediately imitated Lu Chen's actions and looked at the book mountain.
But she looked for a long time and didn't find anything special about the book mountain that was worth Lu Chen's attention until now.
Obviously in her eyes, this book mountain is not much different from an ordinary hill.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yunmeng suddenly felt a little bored.
But she didn't want to show that she didn't understand anything, otherwise when Lu Chen woke up, he would probably think she was stupid.
Therefore, in order not to be regarded as stupid, Shangguan Yunmeng still forced herself to stay sleepy, staring at the mountain of books with watery eyes.
But after watching, Shangguan Yunmeng couldn't help but close her eyes and fell asleep standing up!
And the change happened after she fell asleep.
Shangguan Yunmeng had just closed her eyes for a while, and she opened her eyes again.
And this time, her eyes were like Lu Chen's, very empty, and she fell into some kind of enlightenment.
At this moment, the two of them stood there motionless as if they were cast with a fixed body spell.
Some candidates around passed by the two of them, looked at them in surprise and stopped paying attention.
Some people guessed that the two of them seemed to have found some other way to climb the Book Mountain besides comprehending the wordless stone tablet.
They also imitated the two of them and looked at the Book Mountain as a whole.
But after wasting some time, these people got nothing, shook their heads and left, thinking that Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng might be deliberately mysterious.
But whether it was Lu Chen or Shangguan Yunmeng, they were both the legendary first-grade avenue foundation.
They naturally wouldn't do meaningless things.
Although the direction to climb the Book Mountain is to choose a suitable one from a large number of preaching monuments and climb the Book Mountain according to that path.
But this does not mean that there is only one way to climb the Book Mountain.
It is not that no one has thought of this other method.
It is just that few people think they can do it.
Because this other method is to walk out of the Book Mountain by yourself.
That is to create a practice method by yourself.
And this practice method is not the kind of random patchwork, it must be cultivated to at least the Nascent Soul stage.
Such conditions are undoubtedly countless times more difficult than walking the path of the predecessors.
Not to mention for the cultivators who are at most at the second level at present.
The second level is just to officially embark on the road of cultivation.
How can a person who has just started to create a path suitable for himself?
But there are exceptions to everything.
Lu Chen is, and Shangguan Yunmeng is also.
Although most of Lu Chen's skills are improved by experience points.
But the perception of these skills is real.
Coupled with his own terrifying qualifications, Lu Chen's comprehension is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Although Shangguan Yunmeng herself does not have the help of "experience points".
But she also has her own special features.
That is, every time she falls asleep, the fairy in her dream will appear.
Many things that Shangguan Yunmeng cannot understand do not mean that the fairy in her dream cannot understand.
This is the case with Shangguan Yunmeng at the moment.
Although she fell asleep, the fairy in her dream came out.
And the other party's vision is far above Lu Chen.
Even Lu Chen can see that the book mountain in front of him is actually equivalent to a giant "preaching monument", and Shangguan Yunmeng's dream fairy can naturally see it.
Therefore, Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng are not so much looking at the book mountain as looking at a huge "preaching monument".
What is recorded in this wordless stone tablet is no longer a single practice.
Rather, it is all the "practice" that appeared in the book mountain, and even some incomplete practices that failed to become "preaching monuments".
Lu Chen watched as a large number of techniques appeared in front of him, and a large number of insights appeared in his mind.
Under the cleansing of these techniques, a brand new technique that belonged to him slowly appeared in his mind...
