Chapter 45: Climb to the Top of the Mountain and Realize the State of Emptiness and Emptiness of the Mind

Wenhe Tower, fourth floor, in a wing room.

After staring at Xu Taiping who was climbing to the top of the spiritual mirror for a long time, Liliu Manor's young master Bai Di suddenly picked up a jade slip and said:

"Butler Lu, please help me find out about this casual cultivator named Chu Ping'an and see where he came from."

After hearing this, the masked woman on the side warned the young master Bai Di in a cold tone:

"Bai Di, the Zhenwu Sword Master Contest will start in ten days. If you make any trouble, I won't help you clean it up."

Bai Di smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Uncle Zijin, I'm just trying to find out a little bit in advance."

As he said this, his eyes fell on Xu Taiping in the spiritual mirror again. Then, with a hint of envy in his eyes, he said:

"I heard that according to the rules set by the Great Emperor Zhenwu during his lifetime, those who climbed to the top of the mountain can drink the spiritual spring in the Star Gathering Basin in front of the Golden Palace."

The masked woman nodded and said:

"Indeed."

The masked woman continued:

"The Great Emperor Zhenwu left several sword intentions in this Star Gathering Basin. The so-called spring water is actually his sword intentions, which are transformed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"After drinking it, there is a certain chance that you can comprehend the sword intentions left by the Great Emperor Zhenwu."

After getting the confirmation from the masked woman, in addition to the original envy, Bai Di's eyes also showed a hint of jealousy.

"Boom!..."

At this time, a gust of wind suddenly whistled down from the top of the mountain and hit Xu Taiping heavily.

Although it was just an ordinary gust of wind, it was very likely to be a fatal blow to Xu Taiping at this time.

With a "click", Xu Taiping's foot, which was about to step onto the steps, was hit by the sword energy and strong wind and couldn't stand steadily. He stumbled and slid down the stone steps, and his knees fell heavily on the sharp corners of the stone steps.

Seeing this, Bai Di said coldly:

"He was so desperate that he exhausted all his true energy and blood. Perhaps for him, these last few dozen stone steps are the real test."

The masked woman on the side did not refute.

Because from the current situation, what Bai Di said was actually not wrong. Even if Chu Ping'an defeated all the evil people in the Ten Evils Pavilion by himself, it would still be in vain if he couldn't climb these last few dozen stone steps.

...

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

On the Ten Thousand Evils Peak, after Xu Taiping coughed up a few balls of dirty blood, he used his relatively intact hand to stick on the stone steps and stood up little by little against the strong wind blowing down from the top of the mountain.

"Huh..."

Xu Taiping stood up and let out a long sigh. Then, in an indescribable pain of tearing flesh, he slowly lifted his feet and put them on the stone steps.

Although there were no ten evils blocking him now, he had not really reached the top of the mountain yet, so he could not use the power of the true essence, or the blood and qi power that was improved by improving the physical cultivation to repair the physical body.

He could only bear it like this.

"Pah!"

At this time, Xu Taiping moved his heavy footsteps up one more step.

The afterglow of the setting sun was finally not blocked by the mountain and shone on Xu Taiping's face.

For no reason, Xu Taiping, with a bloody face, raised the corners of his mouth facing the afterglow of the setting sun.

Since he began to practice, Xu Taiping has faced situations like today alone no less than ten times.

But the difference is that the reason why he had to face such situations before today was nothing more than to improve his cultivation or his own survival.

It was more like a choice made under the pressure of the situation.

But climbing the Wan Evil Peak today is different.

Whether or not to climb the Wan Evil Peak has no effect on his cultivation, nor will it threaten his survival. It is not because the lives of relatives and friends are forced to make this decision.

The reason why he chose to climb the Wan Evil Peak.

It is just because he wants to do it. He is willing to take some risks to help the cultivators who may fall into the killing situation of Jiuyuan and Su Chan.

This unconstrained choice makes his Tao heart feel extremely peaceful.

And in this situation of Tao heart peace, Xu Taiping suddenly has a feeling of soul leaving the body.

As long as his mind sinks, he can clearly sense every blade of grass and every tree within a hundred miles of the Wan Evil Peak.

In the past, only the soul leaving the body can do this.

"Boom!..."

At this moment, another gust of wind roared down from the top of the Wan Evil Peak, like a tiger coming down the mountain and rushing straight towards Xu Taiping.

Originally, Xu Taiping had bent his waist, ready to withstand the strong wind even if he had to lie on the ground.

But for some reason, when the strong wind blew over, he did not lie down, but stretched out his hand and gently pushed it to the side.

Then, Xu Taiping pushed the strong wind away from him as if he had pushed aside a veil.

At the same time, with the Wan'e Peak as the center, the mountains within a radius of 100 miles were all filled with mist, and the extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather towards the Wan'e Peak.

Just as Xu Taiping was experiencing this strange feeling and walking towards the peak of the Wan'e Peak, the voice of the Fairy Lingyue suddenly rang in his mind--

"Taiping, wake up!"

This call, which contained extremely strong spiritual power, directly woke Xu Taiping up.

At the same time, the mist and spiritual energy rising from the mountains around the Wan'e Peak also returned to the mountains like a receding tide.

Apart from a few hermits in the mountains, very few people noticed this scene.

And Xu Taiping, who didn't know why, happened to be awakened by the voice of Fairy Lingyue, and encountered a strong wind whistling down from the top of the mountain.

But fortunately, there were only four or five stone steps left to reach the top, so Xu Taiping put aside all the confusion in his mind and rushed forward quickly.

"boom!"

Xu Taiping knocked away the strong wind and jumped to the top of the mountain.

Then, without any hesitation, he stuffed a Grass Return Pill into his mouth, activated his true energy with all his strength, and displayed the body of an angry lion.

In an instant, a violent aura wave spread from Xu Taiping, directly knocking away the strong wind on the peak.

Almost at the same time, Fairy Lingyue’s voice sounded in his mind again——

"Taiping, you were too dangerous just now!"
