I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 571 Test (Part )

"interesting!"

There was a hint of amusement in Li Ming's eyes as he looked around. There was a hint of detachment in his gaze as tiny runes flowed in his eyes.

"As expected, if you don't move, it will manifest naturally once you activate it!"

At this moment, the world in front of him looked different in Li Ming's eyes. The ground and the air were covered with some thin threads that were invisible to ordinary people. It was these ubiquitous thin threads that controlled these huge rocks. Li Ming's body was also wrapped with many silk threads, which was why he felt heavy.

Of course, all this is not that simple. Although Li Ming can see these silk threads, he seems unable to cut them.

Li Ming could only move swiftly in a small space, trying his best to avoid the oncoming boulders, because Li Ming found that the more he moved, the more entangled those invisible threads became.

"This is not a solution." Li Ming was thinking hard when he suddenly felt his body lighten. In a trance, the desolate look in front of his eyes was no longer there, but a stuffy heat came over him.

Li Ming looked around quickly, but saw a dry and cracked earth with a red color all around him, and a feeling of heat coming from under his feet.

"It's the method of teleporting in the void!" Thinking of the two previous experiences, Li Ming suddenly grasped the trick.

But before Li Ming could catch his breath, the ground suddenly trembled and tongues of fire burst out from the ground. Li Ming hurriedly dodged while secretly counting the time in his mind.

Sure enough, after Li Ming had held on for a cup of tea, another teleportation occurred without warning. This time, Li Ming was placed in a large lake, and a violent whirlpool swept over him.

Although these external objects were a bit troublesome, they could not hurt Li Ming at all. This cycle repeated itself, and Li Ming experienced eight scenes in total, including rocks, lava, lakes, strong winds, mud pits, etc.

Li Ming also locked onto it and said with understanding: "It turns out to be the Eight Gates Formation, combined with the Void Teleportation ability of Venerable Kong Kong."

When one thought is enlightened, the world becomes vast. After his guess was confirmed, Li Ming looked again and immediately discovered the connection.

"The eight trigrams are Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, and Dui. Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Zhen represents thunder, Xun represents wind, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Gen represents mountain, and Dui represents marsh. It is said that heaven and earth are positioned, mountains and marshes are connected, thunder and wind are close to each other, and water and fire do not interact. Thunder moves, wind disperses, rain moistens, and the sun illuminates. Gen stops, and Dui pleases. Qian rules, and Kun hides. All things in heaven and earth are contained within."

"If I were Venerable Kongkong, I would have set up this formation to choose a successor. Although this formation is somewhat dangerous, it is unlikely to cause any loss of life. So, to break the formation, I need..."

Li Ming's heart moved, but the time was up and he was once again moved to Li's position by the power of the formation.

Li Ming gathered his internal energy and rolled in countless undercurrents. The situation at this moment became more and more dangerous, like an upheaval in the sea. Layer upon layer of whirlpools and huge waves almost suppressed Li Ming.

But Li Ming was not in a hurry. His internal energy circulated, and a spiritual light flashed, bringing out a three-foot-long peace, like a green lamp in front of a Buddha, driving away thousands of evil spirits. Wherever the green light was, there was peace and tranquility.

The surging water is like a torrent that destroys everything. It rushes in powerfully and carries tremendous force.

Li Ming was not like before, he just went with the flow. His face became serious and he suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it. A huge force emerged from the罡气, which forcibly withstood the pressure and calmed the water flow that was driven by the power of the magic circle.

Li Ming had just found out the truth before, and had not tested the power of the magic circle. He just wanted to stay safe and protect his life. Now he had the intention of breaking the formation, so his actions were naturally different.

Sure enough, when Li Ming exerted his strength, the already turbulent waves seemed to be enraged, and immediately transformed into water dragons that attacked Li Ming in the deep water.

"Well done!"

A gleam of light flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and he reached behind his back. A cold light appeared in his hand, and the sword of Taoism was unsheathed!
It was indeed a first-level divine weapon. Even though Li Ming's strength was limited in the secret realm, he still exerted his great power. The sword energy flew out, causing streams of water to surge, strangling the invisible dragons and snakes in the water one by one.

But the water surface calmed down for a moment, as if the second change was activated. An invisible force circled, causing the water to flow around and form an extremely huge vortex.

This was a scene that had never happened before, and Li Ming was also cheered up.

As the formation was working, the vortex exerted tremendous pressure. Li Ming had nowhere to gain support in the water and was unable to control himself for a moment.

The sword of Tao was slashed out, and a resolute sword light lit up in the water, but this time the attack was accompanied by a continuous and extremely stagnant soft force, which slowly dissipated and dissolved the sword light.

"The highest good is like water." Li Ming couldn't help but admire it upon seeing this, as if he had touched something in his heart.

Li Ming put away his sword and sighed, his bright eyes lit up. His eyes were like stars, shining brightly, with flashes of light, just like an immortal god.

"Hardness and softness are opposites. What is ultimate softness and what is ultimate hardness? A sword is hard, but when it encounters water, the steel becomes soft as silk. Hardness and softness are opposites, yet they can transform into each other."

Li Ming suddenly closed his eyes and even gathered his internal energy, and was immediately swallowed up by the vortex formed by the water. At this moment, he was like a willow leaf, floating with the water, without any intention of fighting back, but he also moved with the water and became a part of the water, and the water could not hurt him.

The opposite is the movement of the Tao, and the weak is the use of the Tao.Everything in the world is born of being, and being is born of non-existence.

Being and non-being give birth to each other, difficulty and ease complement each other, length and shortness contrast each other, high and low incline towards each other, sounds harmonize with each other, and front and back follow each other.

The contrast between strength and weakness, the harmony of hardness and softness! The mechanism of yin and yang, the mother of movement and stillness!
Faced with this change in the formation, water uses softness to overcome hardness, which is different from the previous use of hardness to overcome hardness. Li Ming naturally has his own way of dealing with it.

He simply withdrew his sharp edge and went with the flow. Even though the water couldn't hurt him, he couldn't break the formation either. After Li Ming had spun three times, a layer of emptiness suddenly appeared around him, and the water separated from it. Empty! Soft!
When clay is molded into a vessel, it is when it is empty that the vessel becomes useful. When windows and doors are cut out to make a room, it is when it is empty that the room becomes useful. Therefore, what is there is profit, and what is not there is use.

Emptiness has its uses!
Li Ming opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes faded, just like an ordinary person, and even had a grayish meaning. The sword in his hand moved leisurely, but it was not a hard slash. It just moved with him, and evolved a small Tai Chi in this layer of void.

It is this small Tai Chi that remains independent in the whirlpool, and at the same time expands this layer of void every time. Unknowingly, it actually affects nearly half of the power of the water flow.

At this moment, Li Ming suddenly drew his sword and smiled, and the power generated by the sword circle suddenly dissipated. Tai Chi was still there, but the vortex collapsed.

All this is because of this force acting within it, so the formation collapses on its own.

At this moment, a golden rune appeared in front of Li Ming from nowhere amid the surging water. Li Ming laughed loudly and stretched out his hand. The golden rune fell into his hand and was then imprinted on his skin.

Looking at the diagram in his hand, Li Ming felt relieved, knowing that he had found a way to crack the problem. Then, in the familiar power of the void, Li Ming moved to another space.

Relying on his attainments in formation and profound cultivation, Li Ming cracked the other seven gates of the Eight Gates Formation one by one. Every time he cracked a gate, he got a golden talisman, and all of them gathered into shape on the back of his hand.

And every time he broke through a formation, Li Ming's understanding of the universe deepened, and he understood the good intentions of Venerable Kongkong.

When the last door was broken open and the last golden talisman fell into Li Ming's hand, Li Ming's eyes opened and closed, and a vast texture that embraced the heaven and earth immediately emanated from his body.

Then a door appeared in front of Li Ming. Li Ming smiled freely and stepped forward.

The scene after stepping in was not as complicated as Li Ming had imagined. It was just a green meadow, three simple stone houses, and a stone tablet in front of the house, no, a tombstone.

Li Ming went forward to check and saw a line of large characters engraved on the tombstone.

"Situ Kong cut himself off here."

"Situ Kong?" Li Ming repeated the name and said to himself, "Could this be the real name of Venerable Kong Kong?"

Unfortunately, Li Ming knew too little about the history of the main world, otherwise he should know that Situ Kong was a famous thief a thousand years ago. He was known as the number one thief of the thousand years. He stole countless treasures in his life. He was extremely powerful and had a mysterious identity. Although he had great supernatural powers, he still liked to steal other people's property.

Li Ming thought for a moment, then bowed three times to the tombstone and said, "Senior, today I have the honor of breaking your formation and have benefited greatly. I wish I could meet you in person. I only hope that your spirit can rest in peace."

After saying that, he did not stop, but walked towards the three stone houses and pushed open the door of the middle one. The house was very simple, with only a huge empty word hanging on the wall, and then there was a table with a ring on the table.

Li Ming's heart moved, and he hurried forward to pick up the ring. He felt that the ring was heavy in his hand, dark all over, and had a unique texture. Li Ming injected a stream of energy into it, and immediately felt a suction force. Li Ming was not surprised but happy, and hurriedly increased his strength to continuously pour the energy into it.

Then there was another strange phenomenon, like a whirlpool. Li Ming thought for a moment, and followed the ritual method in Miaokun Temple to imprint his spiritual power into it.

About half an incense stick of time passed, and Li Ming felt that the suction force had gradually weakened. He bit his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood, which fell on the ring, but was immediately sucked into it without a trace. Seeing this, Li Ming knew that the temperature was high enough, and the preliminary sacrifice of the ring was completed. Compared with the semi-finished Yangping Dubao Seal, this ring was undoubtedly much simpler.

Li Ming also felt a stronger sense of connection with the ring, as if the ring had become a part of his body. Li Ming immediately probed into it with his mental power and felt that it was a space of thirty-three feet in length, width and height.

The volume is not small. Thirty-three zhang is about one hundred and eight meters. The space inside the ring is ten thousand square meters, or one million cubic meters.

Many people may not have a clear idea of ​​this, but it's like a 30-story residential building with three elevators and eight units. How many households can it accommodate at the same time? How many people can it accommodate?
Just move your fingers and count to find out that they are all in Li Ming's ring!
Li Ming couldn't help but sigh and thought to himself, "I've been reincarnated many times and traveled through time for a long time. I'm already considered a great master who commands great power in the world, but now I have only just got my first storage ring. How miserable!"

Having said that, Li Ming was naturally overjoyed. Not to mention that the space of this ring was so large, even a ring with only a few cubic meters of space would be very convenient, not to mention the mountains of wealth and precious things in this ring.

Li Ming only had a rough sense of it, and he knew that if the treasures were taken out, it would be ten or a hundred times more luxurious than the entire Guangde Temple, and it would be easy to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers.

Of course, the martial arts classics in it are priceless treasures, but Li Ming does not have time to count them now. After walking around the house and finding that there is indeed nothing else, he walked towards another stone house.

There is a stone bed in this stone house, and a jade pillow on the bed. It seems to be a place for rest. Li Ming went forward to take a look, but he couldn't see anything special about the jade pillow and stone bed. He wanted to put the jade pillow and stone bed into the ring, but the stone bed was easily put into it, but the jade pillow was not affected at all. This made Li Ming certain that the jade pillow must be no ordinary thing. After taking a piece of cloth from the ring and wrapping it, Li Ming went to the last room.

The interior of this stone house was still as simple as before. In the middle was a stone platform with a Bagua pattern on it. When Li Ming approached, the Bagua golden talisman on the back of his hand suddenly began to emit a faint bright light.

Li Ming's heart moved, and he slowly moved his arm closer to the stone platform. A moment later, fine cracks suddenly appeared on the stone platform, and a terrifying force that made people's heart palpitate emerged from under the stone platform.

Immediately afterwards, waves of vibrations came from all around, from bottom to top, and the stone platform even fell off a layer of stone skin, revealing its original color.

It was a jade platform made of a whole piece of green jade, with various exquisite runes engraved on it. At this moment, it echoed with the golden rune on Li Ming's arm. Li Ming's eyes flashed with light as he memorized the various traces on it firmly, and compared them with his previous experience of breaking through the formation, and his heart gained some more insights.

At the same time, I also had another feeling, that this jade platform might be the center of the entire secret realm!
Judging from the current situation, perhaps after he obtains the final inheritance, this secret realm will completely disappear.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The core or root of this secret realm lies under this jade platform.

When the vibration stopped, the jade platform suddenly burst into light, and then cracks appeared on the ground. A suction force came. At this point, Li Ming had nothing to dodge, so he just followed the force and fell down without any resistance.
