Chapter 744: A Jade Talisman
Chen Chao continued to climb the building.
After the 2,000th floor, the difficulty of each floor was beyond Chen Chao's expectation.
Not only was it physical torture, but it was also a mental test.
On one occasion, a cliff appeared in front of him. A person was hanging in front of the cliff, and cracks began to appear on the cliff. The person was about to fall into the endless abyss, but there was also a cliff not far away, with several people hanging on it, and the cliff also began to collapse.
This seemed to be a test of Chen Chao's choice of which side to save.
The first time Chen Chao chose the person in front of him, after saving the person, he suddenly found that he was in the same place again. This time he thought for a moment and chose to save the person in front of him.
Then it was the same again.
Chen Chao still did not change, and the third time was the same.
After three times, the illusion was shattered.
He had already been sweating profusely.
In fact, he vaguely understood that there was no right or wrong in this choice. No matter who he saved, he was destined to be criticized. In this case, he just insisted on his original intention and didn't need to think too much.
After that, each floor had different tests and scenes, but the only thing that was the same was that the sound of the avenue was endless and filled the air.
Chen Chao bathed in the sound of the avenue and felt that his whole body was light and fluttering, as if floating in the clouds.
He walked more than a hundred floors like this.
He had already climbed more than 2,300 floors of the Three Thousand Floors. It was difficult to go up any further.
For some reason, Chen Chao did not feel any oppression on his body. When he arrived here, he was extremely tired, as if he could not continue to take a step forward.
He was silent, only with white mist lingering around his body. The white mist slowly overflowed from his pores and actually wrapped him up in a moment.
He seemed to have turned into a white cloud at this moment.
Then he slightly threw away his tiredness and continued to move forward.
This was another few hundred floors.
After finally climbing to the 2,900th floor, Chen Chao did not choose to continue climbing the building, but pushed open the window with difficulty and took a look at the white clouds outside the window.
He remembered the scene he saw in the mirror flower and water moon.
The scene inside really had that little girl.
If the mirror flower and water moon was his past life, then his past life and that little girl's past life were deeply entangled.
He had already made up his mind to take the little girl back to the capital of gods after leaving Wantian Palace.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Chao came back to his senses and closed the window before going on.
After that, climbing the stairs was unexpectedly smoother. Chen Chao walked up the ninety-nine floors in one breath, and finally stood there, looking at the wooden stairs.
This was the last floor.
That familiar feeling was getting closer and closer. He was extremely sure that there must be something he needed on this top floor.
But the last floor seemed calm, but it was not calm.
Chen Chao took a deep breath and stepped on it.
There was a loud bang.
Chen Chao's eyes were
pitch black, and when he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him actually returned to the first floor.
In other words, at this moment, he fell from the 2,999th floor?
Chen Chao looked at the monks of Wantian Palace around him, and was silent for a long time. Finally, he decided to go upstairs again.
So he walked for a long time and came here again.
Chen Chao took a step forward.
The scene changed, and finally returned to the first floor.
Chen Chao glanced at the stairs, and the whole person was extremely tired.
But he still chose to go upstairs, but the ending was the same.
He returned to the original place for the third time.
Chen Chao remained silent, did not give up and turned to leave the Three Thousand Floors, but slowly pulled out the Yunni from his waist.
"Chen Zhenshoushi, what are you going to do?!"
One after another exclamation sounded.
The monks of Wantian Palace in the Three Thousand Floors spoke one after another, their faces horrified.
Chen Chao was unmoved, just drew his sword, accumulated the energy in the blade, and then chopped it heavily. The rolling sword energy instantly tore the rows of bookshelves in front of him, and countless Taoist classics turned into pieces of paper flying all over the sky, as if it was snowing heavily at this moment.
Chen Chao was in the middle of it, and he handed out several knives again without giving up.
The terrifying aura continued to sweep across the 3,000-story building of the Wantian Palace.
Countless cultivators died in front of him, some were cut in half by his sword, and some were directly split in half, but no matter what, they were all dead.
Chen Chao had no expression on his face.
After countless swords.
The internal energy was exhausted, and the scene in front of him was already a mess.
Countless bookshelves collapsed, and countless classics flew everywhere, as if the 3,000-story building of the Wantian Palace was completely destroyed by this young warrior.
Chen Chao sheathed his sword, then stretched out his two hands and pulled them in front of him.
It was as if a curtain was lifted by him.
An old voice sounded, "Why is the murderous intention so strong?"
The scene in front of him changed again.
Chen Chao finally came to the top of the 3,000-story building.
There were no bookshelves here. There was only a skinny old Taoist sitting cross-legged in the middle of the huge floor. His wide Taoist robe was piled on the ground, looking very redundant. He looked at Chen Chao, his cloudy eyes full of questions, "If I make a mistake in judgment, wouldn't I have killed someone by mistake?"
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "Since he dared to draw his knife, he must be right."
The old Taoist asked, "Why?"
Chen Chao said, "Since we are in front of the door, then we can open the door and it will be behind it. How can we go back to the door after we have arrived in front of the door?"
The old Taoist smiled, and the wrinkles on his face trembled, "Yes, such a simple truth, but no one seems to understand it."
Chen Chao looked at the old Taoist
and said nothing.
The old Taoist said, "There were three people who came to the door before you. They were all outstanding figures in the world, but no one thought of how to come in. I thought that I could wait until a descendant of the Taoist sect came here, but what I didn't expect was a person who came. Wufu, it’s really strange.”
Chen Chao said, "This junior didn't expect to reach this point."
The old Taoist looked at him and said with a smile, "We are all here because of fate. It doesn't matter who we are."
He looked at Chen Chao, and suddenly stretched out his palm, and a white jade lotus appeared in the palm of his hand, small and exquisite, a little mysterious.
That kind of breath, although not oppressive, was unusual.
Chen Chao was shocked and said, "Senior has already set foot on Wangyou?!"
The old Taoist didn't look at Chen Chao, but just looked at the jade lotus in his palm, and said to himself, "Is it that realm? I just took a look."
After saying this, his fingertips suddenly broke open, and a trace of blood dripped onto the snow lotus.
The whole lotus flower turned blood red.
Then it turned into a blood-red jade talisman, hovering in his palm.
"I'll give you something, and it will be the fruit of my path in this life."
The old Taoist murmured to himself, then blew a breath, and the jade talisman shrank rapidly, and finally flew out and hit the center of Chen Chao's eyebrows.
Chen Chao couldn't dodge and could only watch the jade talisman crash into his eyebrows.
Chen Chao, whose eyebrows were cracked, should have shed blood, but at this moment, the blood was absorbed by the jade talisman and flowed into his body.
Chen Chao looked at the old Taoist and wanted to speak, but he felt that the aura of the old Taoist in front of him continued to escape. After a moment, his physical body began to shrink. After a while, only the bones were left in the Taoist robe.
It turned out that the old Taoist had died long ago.
This is just a trace of sadness.
Thinking of this, Cannian was supposed to be looking for a Taoist descendant to give this thing away, but by mistake, Chen Chao came here.
I got the jade talisman by accident.
Chen Chao smiled bitterly. This so-called Taoist's lifelong Taoist fruit would definitely be more useful if left to the Taoist disciples. What's the point of giving himself a martial artist?
Chen Chao couldn't understand, but there was no need to think about it at the moment.
He looked inside himself and saw the jade talisman hanging quietly in an acupoint without any movement.
Only some Taoist rhyme flows in his body, gradually merging with the white mist, and the two are not exclusive.
Chen Chao didn't know what the benefits would be for a while, but the legacy of such a Taoist master would not be bad anyway.
He walked a few steps and came to the Taoist.
A Taoist scroll was found in his Taoist robe, which was exactly the Jade Court Scripture that Zhu Xia's junior uncle asked him to find.
Chen Chao put away the object and then began to look at the Taoist corpse in front of him.
The old Taoist didn't know how many years he had been dead and could not get the answer from the bones, but at least he knew that the old Taoist had arrived before his death.
You have only half a foot on the realm above forgetfulness, otherwise you wouldn't have said those words.
The closer he got to the old Taoist's bones, the more Chen Chao could feel the aura.
"excuse me."
Chen Chao apologized, moved the old Taoist's body away, then looked at the shabby futon, reached out and opened it, and there was a page underneath.
really!
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and picked up the page. The aura on it was from the same origin as the page in his arms!
Chen Chao took out the page in his arms and compared the two pages, they were written by the same person.
From this point of view, the Fuyun Sect's relics are not just one page. Now I have got two pages, and maybe the third and fourth pages...
Perhaps only after you collect all the paper will you get a complete story.
Maybe it was about the reason for the collapse of Fuyun Sect, or maybe it was something else.
Chen Chao thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and slowly let his breath fall on the second page. Since the first page would generate energy to resist probing and intrusion, what about the second page?
Unfortunately, the result was not consistent with what Chen Chao thought.
There was no movement on that page.
So Chen Chao tried to read the content on that page.
But it was the same stinging pain in both eyes.
Can't see clearly.
But other than that, nothing else happens.
Chen Chao was a little confused.
But I still put away the page.
Then he placed the old Taoist's body on the futon and then bowed seriously.
Afterwards, Chen Chao turned around and went downstairs.
Chen Chao quickly came to the floor where he met Junior Uncle Zhu Xia. The Taoist was meditating. After seeing Chen Chao, he smiled and said, "I guess you went to the top floor."
Chen Chao nodded and took out the Jade Court Scripture in his arms.
After the Taoist took it, he took a look and said with emotion, "It seems that this thing will see the light of day again in three hundred years."
Chen Chao opened his mouth.
The Taoist smiled and shook his head and said, "The opportunity is yours, it is yours, even if it is obtained in Wantian Palace, so what?"
Chen Chao said, "After all, it's something from the mountain."
"Everything in the world is naturally nourished by the earth. You can take it as long as you can. Do you want to divide it into someone else's?"
The Taoist shook his head, "That doesn't make sense."
Chen Chao then stopped talking.
The Taoist opened the Jade Court Sutra and said with a smile, "If I tell you a paragraph, I may not be able to get it right."
Chen Chao nodded and sat down cross-legged.
The Taoist spoke slowly and began to explain the contents of the Jade Court Sutra.
At the same time, the jade talisman in Chen Chao's body began to buzz.
The Taoist looked at Chen Chao in surprise, a little shocked, and wondered, "How is that possible?!"
