Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 142: The Road to the Heart (Please subscribe, please vote)
Taiyuan Courtyard.

In a tall building, two older men were watching the entrance examination in the courtyard below.

"Ancient ghost, is this the person you're looking for?"

"Only the Yin Spirit is relatively solid, but it doesn't look that great."

"The condensed Yin Spirit has no special Yin Spirit characteristics, and its physique looks ordinary, nothing special."

One of the men with white hair and youthful face said with a curled lip.

He is Bai Tianya, who was pulled over by Gu Qianqiu to watch the entrance examination of Taiyi Dao Sect.

Under normal circumstances, they are not required to come for such assessment matters, unless there is a large-scale recruitment of disciples once every three years, then the elders of Taiyi Dao Sect are required to come forward. Normally, it is handled by the elite disciples, deacons and others arranged by Taiyi Dao Sect.

"Old Bai, this is the genius who attained enlightenment on the spot after listening to my profound teachings when I was preaching in Qingyuan County last time."

"After this little fellow attained enlightenment, his cultivation level advanced from the initial stage of Sun Wandering to the highest level of Sun Wandering. Now, not long after, he has already condensed his Yin Spirit and broken through to the realm of Exorcism!"

"This level of cultivation progress is not slow in the Taiyi sect!"

"Compared to your disciples, old man Bai, they're not bad, are they?"

Gu Qianqiu looked towards the examination hall where Shi Yi was, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he spoke slowly.

To be honest, when he received the message saying that Shi Yi had broken through the realm of driving objects and came to participate in the entrance examination of Taiyi Dao Sect, he thought he had heard it wrong!

After all, less than two months have passed since he left Qingyuan County.

According to the time mentioned in the letter, Shi Yi broke through to the realm of driving objects, that was even earlier. To a Taoist master like him, this progress of cultivation was still a bit fast.

This made him feel a little unbelievable, so he came here specially to see Shi Yi's assessment results.

In fact, he had previously wondered in his heart whether Shi Yi had taken a shortcut to improve his Taoist cultivation, overdrawing his future potential and forcibly improving his Taoist cultivation, just to fulfill his original one-year promise and become his registered disciple.

After all, such short-sighted people may exist.

However, when he saw the performance of Shi Yi's Yin Shen in front of the Shenjing, he knew that he was overthinking it.

With the solidity of Shi Yi's Yin Spirit, it is impossible for him to take shortcuts and overdraw his future performance. Instead, he has to be down-to-earth and improve his Taoist cultivation step by step to condense the Yin Spirit, which is how the Yin Spirit becomes so solid.

There are many reasons for the rapid development of Taoism. Perhaps one has a fortuitous encounter, perhaps one has gained some insights, or perhaps one is a genius in Taoism practice, etc. These can all quickly improve one's Taoist practice.

Everyone's situation is different, so we can't generalize.

"Old Ghost, don't say that so early. Your Yin Spirit is only solidifying now, and there are still several tests to come!"

"Especially the Path of Self-Searching. If you can't walk through it, no matter how fast you practice, it's useless."

"This person is too young, and his determination to cultivate the Dao may not be that firm."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tianya retorted.

The Taiyi Dao sect assessment is a comprehensive assessment, but the assessment of the path of self-examination is the most important and the most important criterion for whether one can pass the assessment.

Although there are many benefits to practicing Taoism, such as having a special physique, special Yin-Shen characteristics, etc., it ultimately depends on how far one can go on the path of Taoism.

If one's heart of Taoism is not firm, even if one has great talent in cultivation, it will be difficult to go far. In fact, if one cultivates too fast, he or she may encounter many problems in cultivation, and may eventually die on the road of cultivation.

This is also one of the reasons why Taiyi Daoism attaches great importance to the path of self-examination.

"Repellent test."

"The Yin God drives objects weighing over 230 kilograms. Are you sure this little fellow broke through the realm of driving objects less than a month ago?"

Bai Tianya looked at Shi Yi's driving test and asked with a suspicious look on his face.

Because the degree to which this kind of Yin Shen can drive away things has surpassed many people who have broken through the realm of driving things for several years!

If Shi Yi had broken through the realm of driving objects a long time ago, he would not feel strange, but would feel it was very normal.

But if it’s been less than a month since you broke through the realm of driving away things, then it’s different!

"The divine mirror is not there, so the results on it cannot be wrong."

Gu Qianqiu looked at Shi Yi with a burning gaze, and he was indeed the person he favored.

The current assessment results are much better than he expected!
This also made him pay attention to Shi Yi. Originally, he just came to take a look and confirm Shi Yi's situation.

Now it seems that he still underestimated Shi Yi's situation, which also made him pay more attention to Shi Yi!

Not every entrance examination for the Taiyi Dao sect includes an examination of Taoist techniques, because this examination is an examination of techniques and does not account for a large proportion of the total.

However, there had been a Taoist magic test in the previous assessment, so Shi Yi also spent some time practicing Taoist magic to deal with this possibility.

When Shi Yi arrived at the examination room and saw the Taoist examination, he felt a little happy.

After all, he has spent so much time practicing Taoism, so naturally he doesn't want to use the skills he has practiced.

Shi Yi was standing at the examination location arranged by the examiner at this time, and then stretched out his hand.

With a slight thought, a bright flame appeared in his hand.

The flames were blazing and very dazzling.

Its light is also very obvious during the day, which is also a manifestation of Taoism.

"Taoism, Three Qi Divine Fire!"

Shi Yi has only been practicing this Taoist technique these days.

He had actually practiced the Taoist art of visualizing the Five Auxiliary Gods before, but this was considered visualizing gods and was not considered a Taoist art for assessment.

Song Jing had told Shi Yi about this, which was why Shi Yi did not use the Five Directions Auxiliary Master.

Of course, if you really haven't practiced other Taoist arts, then visualizing the Five Auxiliary Deities can also be considered a Taoist art, but the final Taoist art assessment evaluation will be lowered.

The Taiyi Dao sect has a set of standards for Taoist assessments. Forces that have participated in the assessments basically know the general situation, so those who come for the assessment will be prepared.

If possible, one would naturally spend some time practicing a Taoist technique. After all, as long as the technique is performed successfully, the final assessment result would be much better than showing the ability to visualize the God!
After all, this level of assessment is an assessment of Taoist magic, and it also shows the progress of Taoist magic practice.

"Three Qi Divine Fire, elementary flame Taoist magic."

"The flames completely cover the entire palm, and the Taoist technique is fully accomplished."

The examiner looked at the flame in Shi Yi's hand and talked about Shi Yi's Taoist examination results.

Among those who come here for the test, very few can master the Taoist arts.

However, considering Shi Yi's previous performance, his ability to perform Taoist magic that had been cultivated to the great success level was very consistent with his status as a genius.

He had been looking forward to Shi Yi's performance before, and now with this result, it can only be said that Shi Yi's performance did not disappoint him.

The recorder quickly recorded Shi Yi's assessment results.

"Brother Dao, please throw the Three Qi Divine Fire into the water. Do not continue to add the power of the Yin God and the essence of the Great Sun. Let it extinguish on its own."

The examiner continued.

The assessment of Taoist magic will also take into account the power of the Taoist magic.

There are naturally different assessment methods for different Taoist techniques.

The various unique instruments prepared by the Taoist Examination Department were used to test the power of Taoist techniques. Fire-related Taoist techniques were tested with water.

The power of the Taoist technique can be roughly determined based on how long the flame lasts in the water. In this regard, the Taiyi Dao Sect has a set of standards for assessment.

When Shi Yi heard this, his mind moved slightly, and the flames in his hand gathered into a ball and floated in his hand. Shi Yi waved his hand and the flames fell into the water.

The Three Qi Divine Fire fell into the water, and streams of hot air came out, all of which were water vapor.

This is the power of the Great Sun Essence. The hot steam is the result of the Great Sun Essence in the Three Qi Divine Fire being rapidly consumed until it is completely consumed.

As time went by, the Three Qi Divine Fire in the water no longer had the essence of the sun and the power of the Yin God to bless it, and the flames became smaller and smaller and were quickly consumed.

After about five minutes, the Three Qi Divine Fire was completely extinguished!

"The Three Qi Divine Fire can last for half a cup of tea in water."

The examiner continued to announce the results of Shi Yi's Taoist magic.

This is very consistent with the result of practicing elementary Taoist magic to the great level, and it also proves that the Taoist magic practiced by Shi Yi is not just for show, but actually very powerful.

If this kind of flame falls on an ordinary person, he will be burned to death in the blink of an eye. There will be no wounds on the body, but the soul will be burned away.

Even if it falls on a warrior, if he cannot resist it with his Qi and blood, he will die. The duration of the Three Qi Divine Fire just now is enough to threaten a master of bone refining martial arts!
It is an extremely good means of self-defense.

After a Taoist practitioner breaks through the realm of exorcising objects, he will have combat power, and exorcising objects is one of them, and the same is true for the Taoist techniques he masters.

Among them, the method of driving away objects is the most intuitive method and can be mastered quickly, but Taoist magic requires time to practice before it can possess extremely strong power.

Compared with the two, the power of Taoism is not that strong at the beginning, but as the mastery of Taoism increases and the cultivation of Taoism improves, the power of Taoism will become very strong.

The power of Taoism displayed by those Taoist masters can tear the void and destroy space, which is extremely terrifying.

Although most people who practice Taoism focus on improving their Taoist cultivation, Taoist self-defense techniques are also indispensable.

Even within the sect, there is no harmony. If you want to obtain cultivation resources, you need to compete with others, and at that time you naturally need to compete with Taoism.

Even if one has a good background, but lacks the strength, he will not be able to go far in the end, because the practice of Taoism is not just about having the resources to practice, but also about the talent for practicing Taoism.

Then there are the people in the sect. Basically, they all have backgrounds. When their backgrounds are comparable, it all comes down to personal strength. This is something the elders in the sect are extremely happy to see.

If one wants to rise in the sect, one naturally has to step on other fellow disciples, stand out from them, and eventually rise.

After the Three Qi Divine Fire was extinguished, Shi Yi's Taoist assessment was completed.

"Brother Shi Yi, you have completed all the assessments here."

"The remaining assessments will require you to enter this room and examine your inner thoughts."

The recorder led Shi Yi to a house.

Shi Yi had previously seen that those who had completed the Taoist examination walked into the room in front of him and never came out.

As for the assessment results, he had no idea.

He also heard Song Jing mention the Heart-Searching Examination, saying it was an examination of one's heart of Tao.

As for the specific content of the assessment, Song Jing didn't know.

Because of the conscience assessment, everyone is different.

"Sorry for the trouble, Brother Dao!"

Shi Yi clasped his fists in thanks.

He saw blue lights on the house, which was obviously arranged with a special formation. As for its function, he couldn't see it clearly.

After taking a deep breath, Shi Yi strode over, opened the door and walked into the house.

As he took a step forward, Shi Yi felt that the scenery in front of him had changed.

Originally, when he walked into the house, he could still see the scenery inside, but now everything was pitch black.

Ever since he practiced Taoism and acquired the ability of night vision, he has never felt this kind of darkness again.

It was as if someone was covering his eyes so that he couldn't see anything else.

But Shi Yi was very sure that no one was covering his eyes.

"A heart as cold as ice."

Shi Yi's thoughts moved slightly, making his mind clear and focused.

I reminded myself in my heart that this was an assessment of the Taiyi Dao sect.

Then, Shi Yi took a step forward and moved forward.

No matter what the road ahead holds, he will keep moving forward.

Stopping is not his choice, retreating is not his character, only moving forward is his choice.

Just like when he learned about the existence of this central world, he chose to take the risk and come to this world. When he knew about extraordinary abilities, he tried his best to learn these extraordinary powers.

He moved forward step by step and has not changed until now. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, his final choice is to move forward.

All troubles can be solved, but you must not stop moving forward.

As Shi Yi continued to move forward, he felt the road ahead slowly brightening.

After walking a hundred steps, Shi Yi felt that the scene in front of him had returned to normal. At the same time, he had walked out of the room and saw a vast world in front of him.

"Number one hundred and forty-five, Shi Yi."

"It takes fifty breaths to inquire about the inner path."

The examiner nearby saw Shi Yi coming out and announced Shi Yi's examination results.

There was a hint of admiration in the man's eyes as he looked at Shi Yi.

The path of questioning the heart is not only about asking about the way, but also about asking the practitioner's perseverance in practice. What you encounter on the path are the things you fear in your heart.

With every step forward, the fear in your heart will increase, and it will become more difficult to move forward. Only when you understand the Tao and persist in practicing, can you forge ahead.

Therefore, the assessment of this level takes a very long time, and some people cannot even get out of it.

Those who can't get out of it are basically eliminated.

As for those who come out, there is also a certain time limit.

It was very rare for Shi Yi to come out in fifty breaths.

It can be seen that Shi Yi never hesitated from the moment he walked into the house and started to question his conscience, which is why he was able to come out so quickly.

A firm heart for the Tao is very helpful for practicing the Tao, because there are certain dangers in practicing the Tao. If one's heart is not firm and one is confused by the scenes on the path of practice, it is very likely that one will die and the Tao will be destroyed.

On the path of Taoist practice, some practitioners do not die of natural causes, nor do they die fighting with others, but die on the path of practice.

Sometimes when practicing in seclusion, one encounters difficulties in practice, has chaotic thoughts, and is invaded by inner demons, which can lead to the death of the practitioner.
