"It turns out that I am already this strong."

Zhou Qing put his hands on his waist, and the green energy in this space reappeared, restoring his soul.

On the opposite side, Sister Shut Eyes’ soul had been burned to pieces by the nameless Yin Fire, and gold coins exploded.

Even the gatekeepers in the early days of the Japanese tour were no match for him! It was true that you didn't know until you fought. Once you fought, you would be shocked.

It turns out that my soul attainment has reached such a level! Who in the world can stop me? ! Before Zhou Qing could think about it, the soul of the gatekeeper appeared again and asked him questions as usual.

It is still in the early stages of day travel, but has reached the second level.

Zhou Qing calculated in his mind the soul levels he had passed and chose to continue the challenge.

It is very difficult to fight against the Riyou realm, this realm is too far beyond.

But at this time, Zhou Qing had the means to make the final decision.

The seals were in disarray, and surging nameless Yin fire gushed out from the space near the gatekeeper, burning his soul and body.

The power of the Earth Fire that had swallowed and refined the Nether Fire increased greatly, and was incomparable to what Zhou Qing had used in Black Mountain to deal with the Huang family cultivators.

At that time, the Yin Fire had only been refined for a few days.

While Sister Bi Yan was being burned by the nameless Yin Fire, Zhou Qing's attacks never stopped, and as a result, Sister Bi Yan was defeated again.

Faced with the inquiry from Sister Shut-Eyes who had reached the middle stage of the day tour and appeared again, Zhou Qing chose to refuse this time and did not intend to continue the challenge.

The gatekeeper in the early stage of the day tour made him use all his means, but if he fought again in the middle stage, it would not be safe, so Zhou Qing chose to keep some tricks.

If an accident happened and blocked his way into Tianxu in the future, Zhou Qing would want to kill An Lang.

"My soul cultivation is now ranked among the top among the major families in Heiyun Town." Zhou Qing felt a little proud, then shook his head.

"Unfortunately, there are very few opportunities outside to use souls recklessly in battle."

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, martial arts has always been Zhou Qing's main means of fighting enemies, and soul magic is only auxiliary.

In fact, Zhou Qing is not the only one who is in this situation. Most of the people who practice both arts are like this in the early stages.

If a cultivator wants to fully develop his soul and fully display the power of Taoism, in the early stages he must let his soul leave his body.

Many powerful methods can only be used in the form of pure soul, or even if the soul can be used in the physical body, it will not be able to exert its true power.

The physical body is a protection for the soul, but it is also a barrier, at least at this stage.

However, among all the battles Zhou Qing had experienced since his debut, there were not many situations where he could feel at ease to let his soul leave his body and fight the enemy with it.

Once the soul leaves the body, the physical body loses control and becomes a fish on the chopping board. This is very dangerous.

Zhou Qing are fellow practitioners, and the importance of the physical body to him needs no explanation. He would never put his physical body at risk.

If anything unexpected happened and caused any physical damage, he would have no place to cry.

In such a situation, facing the soul which is already weak in martial arts in the early stage and is in the physical body, it can naturally only be reduced to auxiliary means for the time being.

For those who practice both arts, their souls can serve as auxiliary means in head-on combat. If a cultivator and a warrior simply meet head-on, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

The magic of soul Taoism is indeed magical, but it is also really miserable in the early stage. Warriors are the sons of the early version.

Monk, a sewer in a sewer.

It was not until the day tour that this disadvantageous situation began to gradually turn around, but it was only at the beginning that they could confront warriors of the same level head-on.

At this step, the offensive and defensive momentum is not completely different.

No day-traveling monk would dare to let his soul leave his body in front of a warrior and leave his body behind.

When the head of the Yun family and others traveled as souls, they always placed their bodies in the safest place, and even some of the family warriors were unaware of it.

Zhou Qing often did not have the conditions to do so. He usually encountered enemies outside and did not dare to recklessly fight the enemy with his soul.

For Lu Qingmo, when the conditions permit, he can deal with the enemies he faces with his martial arts skills, and there is no need to expose his Taoist strength.

Many people have guessed that Zhou Qing also practices Taoism, after all, he hangs out with Lu Qingmo every day.

If you are not a cultivator, what are you doing there? But guessing is guessing, the enemies who know the specific realm of Zhou Qing's soul are all dead, and the rest are friendly people.

Therefore, Zhou Qing's specific soul realm and Taoist strength are unknown to the outside world. This can be regarded as a hidden card of Zhou Qing.

The reason why day-traveling monks can be equally respected as bone-refining warriors is mainly because monks at this level are no longer afraid of sunlight and blood, and thus become extremely free.

As long as they are willing, the bone-refining warrior will be unable to do anything to him.

After all, the soul of a cultivator can fly. If I fight with you for a while, I am no match for you. At most, I will fly away. I can even float in the sky and bombard you with Taoist magic. What can you do to me? If you are not convinced, bite me? To cultivate to the level of manifestation, the soul of a cultivator is like a substance, like another "flesh body". At this time, in a head-on battle, the cultivator can truly be said to be not much weaker than a warrior.

If it comes to this, you can find a secluded place to hide your physical body, and always appear as a soul to others, and be free.

But this step is still too far for Zhou Qing.

The voice of Sister Shut Eyes sounded, and she said:

"The seeker passed the eighth level of the soul test and gave up the challenge at the ninth level."

The martial arts side is at the eighth level, and so is the soul, neither more nor less, neat and tidy, perfect.

"Passed eight levels in a row without losing a single game, the rating is top notch!"

At this time, Brother Black and White also reappeared and said the same thing as Sister Closed Eyes.

Zhou Qing looked puzzled. He gave up the challenge and still could be considered undefeated...

But it seems to be true.

Indeed, people still need to know when to stop.

"Those who receive the best evaluation will be able to meet the elders of the Ascension Hall!" The two gatekeepers said at the same time: "At the same time, the test of the genius and the test of the immortal will be opened!"

“…”

Zhou Qing had a bad feeling in his heart again.

As expected, the two gatekeepers started to contact the spirits of the weapons and the elders, but of course they could not get through, and none of the attempts could be initiated.

This operation made Zhou Qing numb.

Didn’t I just try to contact you, but found that I couldn’t get through? Now it’s been so short and I’ve forgotten about it.

Artificial intelligence is worthy of its name.

After the two gatekeepers performed a series of operations that Zhou Qing couldn't understand, they spoke again.

"Unable to contact the responsible personnel, according to the rules of the Ascension Palace, the highest reward will be given to the top evaluator."

"You can enter the Immortal Ascension Pond once, and enter the Hall of Ten Thousand Daos to choose a Taoist technique and a martial art with a top rating."

Zhou Qing's mind moved. Giving me the highest reward, it seems that being unable to contact the elders may be a good thing.

If we let people judge, their personal likes and dislikes will inevitably affect the rating, which may be better or worse.

These two should be like puppets, judged strictly according to the rules, and there will be no preference or extra points due to personal preferences, but at least it is fair.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

And the reward, the Ascension Pond? The Hall of Ten Thousand Daos? Does this Ascension Pond allow one to ascend to heaven directly after entering it once?

I know this is impossible, but it doesn't matter.

Now it's fantasy time!

There is also the Wandao Hall, which, judging from the name, should be a place where various inheritances are collected.

Is there any natural martial arts or even peerless magical skills?

The ground cracked open again, and a token flew out, with the word "Shang Shang" engraved on one side and the word "Wan Dao" engraved on the other side.

The gatekeeper said, "Those seeking the truth can use this token to enter the Hall of Ten Thousand Truths."

Zhou Qing asked curiously, "What level of Taoism is the one that Shang Shang evaluated? Heavenly martial arts? Peerless martial arts?"

"Go up a level."

Yes, that’s a very standard answer. I am asking you this question only because I am blinded by greed.

"Where is the Wandao Palace? Will you take me there?"

"After the seeker leaves the Ascension Palace, a disciple of the Heavenly Fate Sect will lead you to the Ten Thousand Dao Palace."

“…”

Zhou Qing was confused. How could such words come out of your mouth?

Do you want to go out and see what's going on outside? There are no disciples of Tianming Sect anymore! Brother, times have changed!

"What if no one takes me there?"

"If you know the location of the Wandao Palace, you can go there on your own."

"I don't know what to do?"

"Wait for the disciples of Tianming Sect to lead you."

"No one is leading?"

"If you knew..."

Okay, shut up. You don’t have to say anything. I shouldn’t have any expectations of you.

Zhou Qing looked at the token in his hand. Any Taoist martial arts that could be rated as top-notch within the Tianming Sect must be extraordinary, even if it was not Tianwuxue.

If you can get in, you will definitely gain a lot.

But my dear, there is a ruin outside. Where can I find the Wandao Temple? And after so many years, whether the Wandao Temple still exists is a big question.

A small part of the Ascension Palace has already been destroyed, and the remaining part is already in ruins and is being eroded by the red fog outside.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked:

"How do I get to Dengxian Pond?"

Could this Ascension Pool be somewhere else?

"Just keep going forward and you will reach Dengxian Pond."

Zhou Qing became more uneasy when he heard this. He remembered that when he looked outside, the back half of the Ascension Palace had been destroyed.

I hope it won’t affect this immortal pond.

Also, after so many years, even if the Ascension Pond still exists, how effective can it be? "What is the use of this Ascension Pond?"

"It can help people transform their bodies and souls, and breed the seeds of transcendence. If the seeds of transcendence blossom and bear fruit, it can make the practitioner's physique transcend that of ordinary people."

Transcendent seeds, physical essence? Zhou Qing pondered, does this mean that his physical essence can be comparable to those extraordinary bodies? However, this Immortal Ascension Pond sounds like it can only breed the seeds of Transcendent. If you want it to blossom and bear fruit, you still need to work hard in the future.

The two gatekeepers made way and Zhou Qing began to move forward. After walking about a hundred meters, the thick darkness enveloped him again. When the light came again, he appeared in another place.

This is a room with white jade bricks and green jade walls. Unfortunately, there are cracks on the walls and the floor.

In the center of the room is a pool that is about ten feet long and wide.

There are cracks on the sides and bottom of the pool, but fortunately, there is still sparkling water in the pool.

But the water level in the pool was much less and it was not full. It was only about half full.

Zhou Qing wasn't sure whether this was the case originally or a lot of water had been lost from the pool.

Without much hesitation, Zhou Qing went straight into the Ascension Pool.

Hiss! Cold, shaking...
