Chapter 735 Heart
One step, two steps, three steps.
Walking slowly in the pile of corpses that looked like purgatory, Wei Changtian stopped from time to time, and swung his sword from time to time, with the faint golden light cast by the shadow of Tathagata falling on his shoulders.
Above his head is a golden Buddha who saves all living beings, and under his feet are countless white bones.
This scene actually seems a bit ironic.
Buddhism believes that all living beings are in the cycle of reincarnation for endless eons, and the ultimate goal is to transcend reincarnation and help all living beings attain liberation.
But it is clear that "death" is not a relief.
Therefore, I don’t know how Buddha would react when he sees this scene if there really is one.
Is it a sigh that the world is filled with sins and that there is a long way to go to save all living beings?
Or did he shake his head and sigh that it was hard to save all living things? Wei Changtian didn't know the above, and he didn't even think about it.
He just walked silently in this purgatory, and every step was extremely heavy.
Although he had witnessed the scene of more than 100,000 people dying in thunder and fire at Niutou Mountain, this was the first time he had come into such close contact with so many corpses.
At first, Wei Changtian would occasionally give those seriously injured soldiers a quick death, or give a pill to those whose injuries were not particularly serious.
But now, as he walked further and further away, his vision gradually became numb.
“.”
Without saying a word, he walked from south to east, and then from east to north.
I don’t know how much time had passed, and I don’t know how many corpses I saw.
Wei Changtian just walked silently, and the sea of qi in his dantian was expanding little by little.
Yes.
Tonight he was going to use these countless corpses to break through to the second level.
Ever since absorbing the power of the snake demon in Huangfeng Valley, Wei Changtian has reached the peak of the third level and is only one step away from the second level.
Different from the fact that a fourth-grade breakthrough to the third-grade requires going through a "mental hurdle", a third-grade breakthrough to the second-grade is normally just a process of accumulating internal strength.
As long as you can accumulate a huge amount of cultivation, you can reach the second level.
This process takes about 20 to 30 years for the average person.
Of course, the "ordinary people" here are not really ordinary people, but those top-level talented warriors who have opened at least sixty of the sixty-four meridians.
Opening up sixty meridians is the most basic condition for breaking through to the second level.
But the reality is that it is very difficult to enter the second level in one's lifetime if one only opens sixty meridians.
After all, it takes a lot of time to practice from the ninth level to the third level, and there is also a very difficult threshold of "four to three" in the middle. After all this time, you will be almost seventy or eighty years old.
Therefore, almost all the warriors of the second rank realm have the same talent as Wei Changtian, who has all sixty-four meridians open.
It takes these people almost ten years to “go from three to two”.
A dozen years is undoubtedly a very short time span in those fantasy novels that often involve seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years.
But in this world where human lifespan is no more than a hundred years at most, it is not short.
At the very least, even the middle-aged Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen have not broken through the second level and are still at the peak of the third level.
By the time they really reach the second level, they will probably be at least 50 or 60 years old.
Of course, all of the above can only be considered "normal speed".
People like Xiao Feng, the thirteen Sons of Heaven, and even Kuilong who controls a large amount of resources, these people's cultivation speed must be faster.
How much faster they can be depends on their opportunities, but it is certain that they will be much faster than ordinary warriors.
And Wei Changtian is obviously among them.
And he is the most exaggerated one. It has only been two years since he traveled through time, but he has soared from the seventh rank to the current third rank peak.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will break through to the second level tonight.
In two years, others might have barely crossed a small realm, but Wei Changtian had crossed five major realms.
This kind of thing can't even be called "unbelievable". I'm afraid most people wouldn't even dare to think about it in their dreams.
But it actually happened.
Monster-capturing, soul-devouring, and real dragon forehead scales. These magical powers, props, and the dead monsters and humans all played a crucial role in this process.
Especially the forehead scales of a real dragon.
Although at first glance it seemed a bit of a waste for Wei Changtian to use it to break through to the third level, it helped Wei Changtian "jump over" the "heart barrier" that was enough to block 99% of warriors.
In other words, if Wei Changtian had not been willing to use his forehead scales, he would probably still be only at the fourth rank now.
The fourth rank, now that I think about it, is indeed not enough.
Even though there are props and magical powers such as "Dream Path", "Ten Thousand Blades" and "Star Scabbard" that can greatly improve combat effectiveness, there is even a big plug-in like the system.
But after experiencing so many things, Wei Changtian discovered that realm is still the most critical.
For example, now, as long as he breaks through to the second level, his overall combat power can be greatly improved, and basically there will be no opponent except Qin Zhengqiu.
Even when facing an ordinary second-grade warrior, he can kill the opponent in a very short time.
And when your strength reaches this level, many problems will no longer be problems.
Uh, all fear stems from lack of firepower?
Suddenly, Wei Changtian inexplicably thought of this sentence from his previous life.
Although it was just a joke, it made sense if you thought about it carefully. Pursing his lips, Wei Changtian didn't continue to think about it. Instead, he cleared a small piece of air and then sat cross-legged among the corpses.
It’s not that he was tired, but at that moment, the sea of qi in his dantian finally reached its limit and could no longer expand.
So what's next?
Outside Fengyuan City, among the pile of corpses, there was no wind and no sound, only a man sitting alone with his eyes closed.
Nothing around me has changed.
But in Wei Changtian's eyes, the moment he mobilized his internal energy to try to break through the second level, all the scenes disappeared.
The shadow of Tathagata above his head, the broken limbs and debris around him, the moon whose light was dimmed by the Buddha's light in the night, the blurry and hazy army camps in the distance. No matter whether it was clearly visible or vaguely invisible, everything was gone.
The entire world was left with only a strange white light, which continued to expand and expand, quickly creating a pure white illusion in the void.
Illusion?
What's going on?
Although he was in an illusion, Wei Changtian's thinking remained normal, so after a brief moment of daze, he had a rough guess.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the "threshold in the heart" that should appear when breaking through the third level.
Although the real dragon forehead scales made Wei Changtian "jump over" a hurdle in his heart, this thing did not disappear, but was delayed until he broke through to the second level.
Well, sooner or later this will have to happen.
Shaking his head helplessly, Wei Changtian's expression did not look very nervous at this moment.
He had asked many people about the question of "heart" before, but he always got ambiguous answers.
It was obvious that no one wanted to talk about this matter again.
If combined with the scattered descriptions in "The Peak of Martial Arts", Wei Changtian actually had a rough guess about the "heart" a long time ago.
Heart to heart, a hurdle in the heart.
Everyone has some past that they feel guilty about, regretful about, or unwilling about in their life.
Although you feel that you have forgotten some of these things, they still have a long-lasting impact on you until you completely let them go.
And "getting over the hurdle" undoubtedly refers to this process.
"call"
He stretched his body and let out a long breath.
Looking at the two silhouettes slowly emerging in the white light, Wei Changtian knew that he was about to face the most difficult hurdle in his heart.
But to be honest, he still isn't sure what it is.
Xiao Feng?
The girl named Liu Yingying? You Jia?
Li Wutong? Or those people he had killed? Who knows Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and stared at the two silhouettes that were turning from virtual to real, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind.
He had already experienced falling into the "illusion of the inner demon" when he faced "Yan Luo" in Fengyuan, so he was mentally prepared for everything at the moment.
But when the two outlines slowly transformed into a man and a woman, Wei Changtian still widened his eyes in disbelief, and his body trembled violently.
He never expected that the people who appeared in front of him were "Dad and Mom"
"Why are you here?"
