Chapter 53: Tempering! [Update 3]
As Ye Chen rushed out, the whole world was torn apart. He was furious. He took a step forward and punched out, piercing through the bloodthirsty scaly bull and tearing its huge body into pieces.
The sky was filled with blood rain, falling all over.
Ye Chen was bathed in the blood rain, his black hair flying wildly, like a ferocious beast, panting softly. The scene around him slowly changed, appearing in a sea of blood. Countless ferocious zombies crawled out of the sea of blood and gathered towards Ye Chen. Ordinary people would feel numb at the sight of them.
Ye Chen's eyes were slightly red, he clenched his fists, and his aura fluctuated violently. In the end, reason prevailed. He gritted his teeth, sat down cross-legged, and focused his mind. There was nothing in his mind, so nothing outside existed...
"Everything is illusory and disillusioned..." Ye Chen blocked his hearing, vision, smell and touch, and reached a state of emptiness, selflessness and inaction.
However, in his mind, he could still "see" the zombies crawling towards him ferociously, and the encirclement was gradually shrinking, which made people feel terrified.
"Oops!" Ye Chen frowned, "Everything is born from the mind. I can't block my heart and achieve a state of true selflessness. Just forgetting hearing and touch is not enough!"
At this time, the zombies crawled over. Each of them was incredibly strong. They left bloody marks on Ye Chen's body. Waves of piercing tearing pain spread throughout his body. His skin cracked and blood was dripping.
"It's all illusion, illusion..."
Ye Chen kept repeating in his mind, however, the pain in his body was so real that he felt as if his whole body was being torn apart.
"Not good!" Ye Chen's heart suddenly moved, "Although these are hallucinations, all the pain is real!" This is a form of psychological hypnosis. When a person's body is hit, pain will occur. This is the information symbol transmitted to the brain center by the nervous system, which conveys the message of "pain", so pain is felt.
Many psychological experts can hypnotize people through words, making them believe from the bottom of their hearts that they are trapped. But now, under the influence of the inner demon, Ye Chen has believed that the pain in his body is real. The so-called resistance is just self-deception, but he doesn't really believe it in his heart.
This is the power of self-hypnosis.
In peacetime, an American scientist once conducted a similar experiment, hypnotizing an old lady and making her believe everything in the hypnosis from the bottom of her heart. In the process, she punched a telephone pole and bent it! Afterwards, the old lady suddenly died, so the experiment was reported to the outside world.
After all, the old lady was unable to bend the electric pole with her own strength. She performed beyond her normal level under hypnosis, which overdrew her vitality. Her heart could not bear it, so she died suddenly.
At this moment, even though Ye Chen knew clearly in his mind that everything he saw was an illusion, deep down in his heart, subconsciously, he still had a trace of belief.
"If I continue like this, I will die from the pain even if my body is fine! If my head is defeated and I believe this fact, my brain's nervous system will automatically stop. Then I will believe that I am dead, and I will really die!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth and urged the strength in his body to form an energy shield around his body, surrounding his body and silently fighting the demon in his heart.
Time passes slowly...
In the Dragon Emperor Holy Land.
There are nine Heart Refining Stele, and people are perched on six of them. Not long after, Zi Wan, dressed in purple, slowly opened her eyes. Her body swayed slightly, her pretty face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She gritted her teeth slightly and stood up. In that illusion, she felt that her spiritual power had increased a lot. She immediately walked to the jade wall not far away and stared at it.
Zi Wan has lived in Ziyun Island since she was a child. Her life is very simple. She played when she was young and practiced when she grew up. In addition, with her status and position, she is almost carefree. No one dares to provoke this rich lady. Therefore, compared with Ye Chen's obsession, her obsession is just a drop in the ocean!
Ye Chen had committed countless murders in his previous life, and countless people died at his hands. He also had many knots in his heart, and it was extremely difficult to control them one by one!
Not long after, Huang Feng, Huang Bingbing, Huang Jian, Huang Cang and others opened their eyes one after another and woke up from their obsession. Although the obsession in everyone's heart was not completely eliminated, it had been suppressed to a very small corner.
"This one has actually taken 10 days!" Huang Feng glanced at the time, sighed, then stood up and walked towards the jade disk not far away. After these 10 days of training, his whole body has a restrained temperament, with a gentle and elegant look, as if he has become a different person.
He looked up at the jade disk, and immediately saw thousands of sword energies rushing towards him, full of majesty and sharpness, like a beggar facing an emperor. His heart shuddered, and he took a step back, suppressing all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and looked at it calmly. In an instant, those sword energies disappeared, and lines of clear text came into his sight...
These words seemed like figures dancing in his eyes. Some were practicing mysterious sword techniques, some were teaching scriptures, and some were jumping up and down, their figures were as fast as the wind...
Huang Feng was so absorbed in watching that he completely lost track of time.
After a long time, Zi Wan was the first to retract her gaze. There was some fatigue in her eyes. She took a deep look at the jade disk, then turned and walked towards the Bridge of the Soul not far away.
"Daddy said that this jade disk was written by the great Yellow Emperor himself. Whatever you think in your heart is what you see. Only when your mind is free of distractions can you see the true meaning of this jade disk. To achieve this, you need to be at least at the third level of a wise man!"
Zi Wan knew that her spiritual cultivation was not enough. What she saw on the jade disk was a beautiful scenery. In that scenery, there were people drinking and writing poetry, dancing with swords in hand, looking quite elegant.
Huh! Zi Wan exhaled, walked to the edge of the ravine and stood still, looking down. The ravine was bottomless. If she fell down, she might not even have a complete body. In order to test what she was thinking, she stretched out her palm, and immediately felt her arm sink, as if it was pulled by an invisible rope, almost dragging the whole person into the ravine.
She was startled and quickly withdrew her hand. "This ravine is indeed unusual. Even birds can hardly cross it. Even Dad can't fly over it directly. He can only walk over it along the bridge of the mind."
Zi Wan gathered her thoughts, her eyes filled with fighting spirit, and she walked towards the Bridge of the Soul. She took only one step when a fierce resistance suddenly came from the other side of the bridge, causing her body to shake slightly, but she quickly stood firm.
"The bridge is twelve steps long. I don't believe that I can't get across with my own strength!" Zi Wan bit her red lips and took three steps in a row. The scene around her changed suddenly and turned into a sea of Suras. Countless monsters were roaring and waving their claws beside the bridge. This shocking scene made her pupils shrink and her pretty face turned pale in an instant. Her body was pushed back by the resistance and she took several steps back and was "forced" out of the long bridge.
At this time, Huang Feng, Huang Cang and others all walked out from the jadeite jade disk and stood here, watching Zi Wan take four steps and then be forced back, and they couldn't help but look solemn.
"I'll do it!" Huang Feng grinned, took a step forward, walked onto the bridge, and under the gaze of Zi Wan and others, he took three steps in a row, then suddenly stopped. There was no color on his face, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and he couldn't help vomiting.
Huang Cang and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale. How disgusting must that thing be to make someone as powerful as Huang Feng vomit after seeing it?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Soon, when Huang Feng took the fourth step, he was blown away by the sudden increase in resistance and fell to the ground, covered in dust and looking extremely embarrassed.
Huang Cang next to him took a step forward and rushed forward, but he only took four steps before being "forced" back. Huang Jian and Huang Bingbing next to him also tried once, and their results were almost the same.
After everyone had tried it, Zi Wan walked on again. She was not mentally prepared the first time, not knowing that there would be illusions in this bridge of the mind. This time, she was mentally prepared, her expression was much firmer, and she walked steadily. Finally, she walked to the sixth step and was forced to turn back!
Huang Cang and the others were unwilling to give up, so they also tried. In the end, except for Huang Jian, the others were forced to return after taking the fifth step.
In the distance, in the golden palace.
The middle-aged man put one hand on his back, watching the scenes on the Bridge of the Heart, smiling and nodding, saying, "The geniuses this time are all very talented, and they can actually take the sixth step! This Bridge of the Heart has little to do with strength, but mainly with the state of mind. The calmer the heart, the further you can go, and the resistance will be relatively reduced."
"In the entire temple, Master is the only one who can walk steadily. Even the Lord of the Six Gods Island in the Inner Sea can only take about nine steps. Only the Lord of the Purple Cloud Island is a little stronger and can take the tenth step. However, he has been stuck at this step for ten years and has never been able to take the eleventh step. It's really a pity..."
The middle-aged man glanced at it, smiled slightly, then turned and walked into the golden hall.
Huang Feng, Zi Wan and others all tried once, and after being frustrated, they all came back and walked to the Heart Refining Monument to continue training their minds. When Huang Feng came back, he saw Ye Chen still sitting cross-legged in front of the stone tablet. He was surprised and looked at him for a few more times. Then he shook his head, walked aside, and practiced on his own.
In Ye Chen’s inner world, there was a sea of blood.
"Give me back my life..."
"You killed my son, blood debt must be repaid with blood..."
One by one, figures crawled out from the sea of blood, with disheveled hair, and walked towards Ye Chen with bared fangs and claws. Some of these people's faces were extremely familiar, as they were all people who had died at the hands of Ye Chen. As the figures floated, the entire sea of blood was filled with heads moving, which showed how many people Ye Chen had killed.
"You ate my flesh, give it back to me..." A fat man walked out from the sea of blood, with white bones on the left side of his body, which was extremely dazzling. When Ye Chen saw this man, his eyes became more murderous. In his previous life, he was trapped in a small room with this fat man, but the other party poisoned his food and put rat poison in it, which almost poisoned him to death. Fortunately, he felt sorry for the food that time and did not eat much.
Afterwards, he got so angry that he chopped the fat man into pieces. Finally, when all the food was gone, he had only the fat man's corpse as food.
"Get out!" Ye Chen slapped out with his palm, crushing the fat man's body.
At this moment, another figure emerged from the sea of blood. He had a ferocious smile on his face, was dressed in white, and had loose black hair. He looked at Ye Chen and grinned, "Do you still remember me?"
