Cultivation: Beginning with the Heart Reflecting Heaven and Earth

Sure enough, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Luo Wei said, "The training mission will begin in a few days, and I need to make some preparations. When you get back, think about it carefully, and it would be best to find a few friends to look out for each other!"

Lu Qian replied readily, "Thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days, Senior Sister! I will definitely repay you if I have the chance!"

Luo Wei simply smiled indifferently, "Then I'll look forward to that day!"

After leaving, Lu Qian felt a little reluctant. During this time, Luo Wei had been very dedicated. Although she sometimes seemed a bit cold-hearted, she was definitely serious and responsible.

Even if it were for Tao Pili's sake, Luo Wei didn't need to do this. A genius disciple like her didn't need to care about such sentiments at all, but she still earnestly guided Lu Qian.

"Forget it, let's go to the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws first and clear the first level!"

No longer indulging in sentimentality, Lu Qian quickly headed to the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws, where a powerful, somewhat familiar aura enveloped him: "Start the trial?"

He immediately said, "I want to choose weapons: two maces, and a bow and arrows..."

Before he finished speaking, all sorts of maces, along with bows and arrows, were laid out in front of Lu Qian. He selected one after a while, finally finding one that satisfied him. "Now, let the trial begin!"

To be honest, the weapon in his hand was better than the one he manifested in his mind world. After all, it's hard for people to imagine things they haven't seen before, and the weapon that Lu Qian manifested in his mind world naturally had some flaws.

The weapons provided by the Spirit of All Laws now give Lu Qian a sense of complete control, making him even more confident than before.

In the world of his mind, Lu Qian had cleared the level countless times, so he was naturally very skilled at it. First, he shot and killed the water herons of the misty marsh, then jumped into the water and killed the ice-scaled crocodiles with his stick. He then used the Turbid Wave Corrosion Curse to freeze a large number of Ink-backed Toads, quickly set them on fire, and finally finished with the Star-Stepping Step.

When everything was over, less than half an hour had passed, and Lu Qian felt very relaxed.

At that moment, the will of the Spirit of All Laws descended: "The trial has been completed, reward: 10 merit points. Begin the second level of the trial?"

After a period of hard work, Lu Qian finally passed the first level, but he was not too proud. This was just the basic standard for disciples of the Holy Land, and there was nothing to be proud of.

Only by passing the second level can one be considered to have achieved something, because there are only a handful of Qi Refining Disciples who can pass the second level now.

No matter what level of cultivation Lu Qian has, as long as he can pass the second level, he will be a sensation and can walk with impunity from then on.

Passing the first level only proves that he is not a useless person; it doesn't prove anything else.

Regardless, now that he was already here, Lu Qian was determined to see what the second level was like. He quickly said, "Activate the second level of the trial!"

The Spirit of All Laws said, "On the second level, your opponents are one Sand Scorpion, two Bone Sand Ants, and three Shadow Lizards. You have two hours to kill them all!"

"The number of monsters has decreased, but the time allotted has been extended!"

Lu Qian wasn't stupid; he understood the significance of this change. It meant that the six newly appeared demonic beasts were even stronger than the previous sixty!

Moreover, to clear the second level of the Myriad Laws Battle Tower, one needs the combat power of the peak Qi Refining stage!

It's fair to say that Lu Qian is incapable of clearing the level now; he's just here to see what it's like.

The surrounding terrain changed along with it, from a humid water area to a barren, hot desert, and the sun in the sky was like a blazing fireball right next to you, relentlessly pouring heat down on you.

"Damn, it's so hot!"

In just that short breath, beads of sweat appeared on Lu Qian's forehead. With his body-refining cultivation, he would never sweat even if he wore a cotton-padded coat in the hot summer. But now he was sweating easily, which could only mean that the terrain here was special.

If an ordinary person came here, they would probably be dried into a dried-up corpse in no time, with no chance of survival.

Under Lu Qian's watchful gaze, the six giant beasts slowly approached from afar, gradually surrounding him.

There are giant scorpions as big as trucks, lizards that are almost the same color as the yellow sand, and insects that look like mole crickets with thick shells that radiate a cold luster!

Lu Qian shook his head helplessly, "None of these six giant beasts are something I can handle..."

Before Lu Qian could observe them closely, he saw the six giant beasts suddenly sink, as if diving, slowly disappearing into the sand.

The next moment, Lu Qian seemed to sense something and dodged to the side. Suddenly, a cold, gleaming barb shot out from where he was—it was the scorpion's tail!

When the quicksand scorpion's first attack failed, it extended its two large pincers and swept them horizontally with a whooshing sound. This attack directly created a sonic boom!

Even if the target is a mountain, it will only be pulverized under the Sand Scorpion's pincers!

Lu Qian was still in the air with nowhere to grab onto, but he used the Sky-Stepping Technique and managed to escape at the last minute!

Just then, a series of phantoms suddenly appeared. They were Shadow Lizards, which could create sand shadow clones that were difficult to distinguish from the real ones with the naked eye.

Lu Qian didn't have time to look closely, so he could only choose a direction to hide in at random. Just then, a withered sand ant crawled out of the sand and swallowed Lu Qian whole.

Inside the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws, Lu's subconscious returned, somewhat speechless. "They didn't even engage in a direct confrontation, just kept dodging, and they couldn't even last three breaths!"

He was too weak to withstand the attacks of these demonic beasts. Any rash action would only result in minor injuries.

"No wonder such a large holy land only has a few Qi Refining disciples who can clear the second level of the Myriad Laws Battle Tower. That's really difficult!"

Lu Qian felt that it would be difficult for him to successfully pass the level within a few years. These demonic beasts were all close to the peak of Qi Refining, and they were not easy to deal with.

Most importantly, once cultivators enter, they can only have a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation level. Given this difficulty, it's naturally not easy to defeat them!

"It's time to consider opening my eyes... Once I open my eyes, I can continue to improve my comprehension, and I'll also be able to see through the illusions of the Shadow Lizard without having to bother distinguishing them anymore!"

This alone probably won't be enough to pass the level, but you have to eat one bite at a time, and do things one step at a time. A tall building starts from the ground up, so just take it slow!

After composing himself, Lu Qian returned to his cave dwelling and was immediately startled to see a large number of talismans at the entrance. "Have so many people been looking for me lately?"

He followed Luo Wei in his cultivation and hadn't returned home much during this time. Mainly, he didn't have much to worry about, and learning some skills from Luo Wei was the real priority.

Unexpectedly, several letters had already accumulated at his residence. However, he roughly knew who would be looking for him, since he only knew a few people and it wasn't hard to guess.
