In the year of Dawn 2632,

Feng Qi decided to go to the Blood Soul Clan to complete the last level of the 18 Difficulties of Heart Refining Challenge.

In this timeline, he has already completed levels 16 and 17.

These two levels of heart refining consumed a lot of his energy, and after completing the challenge, he could no longer continue the final challenge.

After these years of rest, Feng Qi decided to put an end to this journey of heart refining.

He always had a question, what kind of changes would happen to his state of mind after completing the 18 Difficulties of Heart Refining Challenge.

Now, the answer is about to be revealed.

When going to the Blood Soul Clan, Feng Qi still chose Destiny City as a transit station.

At that time, he did so because he was afraid that the Blood Soul Clan would know the coordinates of Dawn City, which would lead to a possible crisis of genocide.

Although the human race is not as powerful as the Blood Soul Clan, it is not so afraid of the Blood Soul Clan.

Many forces in Destiny City know that the human race has a lot of miracle items in their hands. If they start a full-scale war with the human race, there is a possibility that other forces will benefit from it.

In Feng Qi's eyes, the deterrent power of the Blood Soul Clan is far less terrible than that of the God's Descendants.

But at least the human race is not the opponent of the blood soul race. The blood soul race dare not launch a full-scale war against the human race, but they don't care about killing him, a member of the human race, in their own territory.

He didn't know what would happen after the eighteen difficult challenges were completed.

For safety reasons, he chose to take the route of Destiny City Road and jump to the blood soul clan.

Passing through the space channel created by the space jump, Feng Qi brought Xiaoyou to the top of the Destiny City Hall.

Looking down at the brilliant lights below, after thousands of years, Destiny City is still the prosperous scene.

Over the past two thousand years, a large number of forces that have established connection channels with Destiny City have been eliminated, and new forces have joined the trading market of Destiny City.

Among them, there are also many races that are almost extinct, hiding in Destiny City to survive.

This city has witnessed the rise and fall of countless forces.

Belonging to the eight kings, Destiny City is the most mysterious force among them.

In ancient legends, the Lord of Destiny City was once the heir to the super power that controlled multiple small worlds.

But he did not continue to expand the race's territory and lead the race to continue to rise.

He is loyal to the God's perspective to observe the game between life and draw happiness from it.

The huge superpower declined under a series of mysterious operations by the Lord of Destiny, and all the resources in stock were used to build this gambling city.

The word "destiny" refers to luck and fate in the game.

The Lord of Destiny's idea is undoubtedly a strange one.

He believes that the endless competition in the world can be decided in another form.

Because the competition, rise and fall of races in this world, strength alone cannot necessarily determine the outcome.

It also involves luck, opportunities, and other unknown factors.

Many forces defeated the strong with the weak, relying on the opportunity to turn the tables through unknown factors such as luck during the war.

So war is a contest between the luck, fate, and strength of each race.

In this case, gambling can completely replace war to decide the outcome, and the bet is the development resources that both sides care about most.

This angle is very novel, but it is not without reason.

In the gambling field of Destiny City, the bets of many fields and forces are resources, and resources are the foundation of the development of a race.

Losing all bets is equivalent to losing the future of the race.

The winner wins the bet through gambling, and also wins the resources for the development of the race and the future.

It seems that the domain forces in the gaming field are having fun, but in fact, they are betting on the future of the race. This is a gaming war without gunpowder. The rewards obtained by the winner are essentially not much different from the gains obtained in the war.

Gaming is the core of Destiny City, but it is not the core of Destiny City in the eyes of outsiders. The

reason why Destiny City is famous is mainly due to the emergence of the trading market.

At that time, the Lord of Destiny City established the trading market to facilitate the exchange of resources between different forces, unify the betting chips, and reduce the steps required to calculate the value of resources in the game.

Over the long years, the trading market, which was originally an auxiliary function, has become the core of this city.

On the contrary, only a few racial forces will participate in the gaming field.

The rise of the trading market has attracted a large number of domain forces to settle in.

The fair and safe environment has enabled the rapid development of the trading market.

During this period, the Lord of Destiny City also created a new way to play card games.

It contains a lot of information about ancient domain forces, so many forces have established intelligence agencies in Destiny City to collect information about other races.

The Destiny City model has derived many industries.

The emergence of the trading market has brought about earth-shaking changes in Destiny City. In the future, resource exchange, information exchange, technical services, and other contents have become the mainstream projects of Destiny City

. This place has bred many potential racial forces.

It has opened the eyes of many forces in many fields, obtained development channels, and established racial advantages.

This includes the human race.

If there is no Destiny City, the human race will be isolated and the pace of development will not be as fast as it is now.

Now, every sacrifice line, establishing a connection with Destiny City is one of the most important starting plans.

But the whereabouts of the Lord of Destiny who built this legendary city are unknown. He left behind several miraculous items and terrifying wealth, but never appeared again.

There are many versions about the whereabouts of this legendary figure in Destiny City, but none of them has been confirmed.

The disappearance of the Lord of Destiny did not affect the continued development of this city.

Before his disappearance, the many miracles left by the Lord of Destiny ensured that the security force of Destiny City was unmatched in this space. Unless one has the power of a pillar god and can surpass the absolute suppression of the rules, it is impossible to stir up trouble in Destiny City.

In Fengqi's eyes, there are thousands of strange things in the world, and the Lord of Destiny is the only one who can do it.

This strange life has created a platform for communication for future generations, and added a development model to the cruel racial competition environment.

That is operation.

Resource optimization, intelligence trading, false intelligence propaganda, purchase of war equipment, props... The cruel competition is no longer a pure competition of force.

Since he came to Destiny City, Feng Qi took Xiao You to the base of the human race in Destiny City.

It is called a base, but it is no different from other ethnic forces. It is just a fixed stall.

The messenger of destiny will be on duty 24 hours a day and establish an intelligence and trading network through fixed stalls.

After asking the three messengers of destiny on duty about their current gains, Feng Qi took Xiao You to stroll around Destiny City for a while, and finally left Destiny City through space jump.

Passing through the space channel, what appeared in front of Feng Qi was the familiar floating city.

The blood soul flag erected high above the main island has not changed at all compared to his memory, but the surging frequency of the evil spirits in the flag seems to be more intense.

Looking at the blood soul flag, Feng Qi can clearly feel an inexplicable suction coming from all directions.

It seems to be about to draw his soul into the blood soul flag and devour him and transform him into an evil spirit.

This was not his first time here, so he was very familiar with the place. He did not act rashly and chose to wait where he was.

In a moment, a dark red figure shot over from a distance and hovered in front of Feng Qi, looking at him and Xiao You with cold eyes.

Without too much nonsense, Feng Qi looked at the Blood Soul Clan members and said,

"Heart Refining Platform."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a high-purity golden spirit stone from his space bracelet and threw it to the Blood Soul Clan members.

Reaching out to take the crystal stone thrown by Feng Qi, the Blood Soul Clan member nodded and patted him. Suddenly, a stream of light hit Feng Qi's body, and then the Blood Soul Clan member turned into a dark red stream of light and left. After

completing the review, Feng Qi skillfully brought Xiao You to the island where the Heart Refining Platform was located.

Xiao You hovered at this time, put his hands on his waist and said,

"Boss, you go in, Xiao You will keep watch for you outside, finish the job quickly."

Feng Qi: ...

Passing through the translucent energy shield, Feng Qi landed in the center of the Heart Refining Platform.

At this time, more than ten figures in the Heart Refining Platform were challenging the Heart Refining level with their eyes closed.

Without paying too much attention to the situation of creatures in other realms, Feng Qi sat down cross-legged and no longer resisted the surging spiritual connection.

The moment he closed his eyes, darkness surged like a tide and enveloped him.

After a brief silence, eighteen ferocious and majestic statues emerged from the darkness.

Among them, the gems on the foreheads of seventeen Heart Refining statues flashed brightly, and only the gem on the eighteenth statue had not been lit.

Looking at the eighteenth statue, the statue moved forward immediately, and an old voice exploded in his mind:

"Eighteen difficulties in Heart Refining, the heart road is difficult, and there are thousands of mountains!"

In a daze, a white light spot that kept getting bigger appeared in his sight, and finally this white light spot completely covered his sight.

But what surprised Feng Qi was that there was no corresponding experience scene for this challenge.

At this moment, a bubble appeared above his head.

Feng Qi looked up and saw a scene in his memory playing in the bubble.

He was only five years old at that time, holding his mother's hand with his left hand and his father's hand with his right hand, walking on the way home together, with the sunset behind him dyeing half the sky red.

The second bubble emerged at this time.

In the bubble was the scene when he learned that his parents had died and his emotions were close to collapse...

The third bubble, the fourth bubble... More and more bubbles emerged above his head, and each bubble contained a memory of his.

As the memory bubbles increased, Feng Qi gradually felt a strong mental pressure.

These memories were like a mountain that was about to crush his body. He felt difficulty breathing and bent down unconsciously, trying to relieve the pressure brought by the memory bubbles in this way.

The bubbles were still increasing, and when Feng Qi felt that he was about to be crushed, he began to struggle.

But the struggle had no effect, and the memory bubbles were still increasing.

Multiple sacrifice lines, the memory of long years condensed into pressure, just as the old voice said before the challenge began, "Ten Thousand Mountains".

When the gray bubbles representing negative emotions emerged, Feng Qi's body trembled uncontrollably.

He could clearly feel that another personality seemed to be awakening in his body, and this was the activated negative emotional personality.

Something seemed to be wrong with the Heart Refining Challenge. It suppressed his main personality and made his negative emotional personality awake.

Countless memory images surged in his mind, and the past kept repeating.

It was like an endless punishment that could not destroy him, but made him repeatedly endure cruel blows on the spiritual level in a clear state.

Feng Qi didn't know how much time had passed.

Under the wash of memory, he gradually found that the pressure and pain brought by the memory seemed to be weakened.

This process was extremely long under perception.

He felt like he had turned into a sculpture, experiencing the wash of wind and rain, and the pressure brought by the memory gradually became bearable.

After an unknown amount of time, when Feng Qi found himself recovering, he looked up and saw that the memory foam above his head had condensed into a mountain.

After staring at this mountain of memory for a long time, Feng Qi suddenly realized.

He understood why the last level of the Heart Refining Challenge was called "Ten Thousand Mountains".

The core of this level is not a challenge, but a kind of perception.

The previous seventeen levels are like seeds planted, constantly watering nutrients and cultivating them to grow.

The eighteenth level is the condensed fruit.

Now that he has picked this fruit, his state of mind has reached an unprecedented height.

Now, he understood the true meaning of this level.

"Ten thousand mountains... what a great mountain."

Feng Qi muttered to himself, and a smile appeared on his face.

Memory is the foundation of growth for oneself, but also the shackles that seal the self.

But now he has understood that memory has never been a burden.

When he was young, he felt that the numerous homework and the goal of the school he wanted to enter were stressful. When he grew up and became sensible, he found that academic pressure was not stressful at all.

In his memory, he had felt fear and despair when Star City was infiltrated by the domain forces in the early days, but now it seems that this pressure is just a thorn on the road to growth, which can be easily crossed.

Looking at the past with current memories, every difficult challenge is just a small bump, and those difficult mountains have been crossed.

The results that were thought to be unacceptable can also be viewed with a normal heart.

Too many regrets are made up in the process of starting over.

Losing in the east, gaining in the west. The pain once made him depressed, but also made him stronger. The road built by long memories, the pressure of the past has long become the driving force for moving forward now.

At the moment of enlightenment, Feng Qi suddenly became clear.

Looking back, the light boat under his feet has passed thousands of mountains.

Looking forward, the tortuous road ahead is long and bright.

The pressure brought by memory is the driving force that pushes him forward, but he has always regarded it as the source of pain.

Suddenly, he realized that memory is memory. It exists in the past, but it cannot affect the present.

The gray bubbles above his head gradually turned white, and Feng Qi couldn't help laughing.

The ship will not sink because there is water around it, but it will only sink because of water entering the ship.

This last level of the heart training made him understand that he should never let the memory that wraps him affect his judgment, and he should not let the water of memory flow into the hull, making the state of mind full of pressure.

When the picture in front of him faded, Feng Qi saw the gem on the forehead of the eighteenth statue on the heart training challenge platform slowly light up.

The negative emotions that he once regarded as a flood beast could no longer affect him from this moment on.

Looking at the eighteen statues with lit gems, Feng Qi bent down and bowed forward.

The eighteen difficult challenges are like eighteen lessons in the field of mind, which make him understand himself and understand himself. From then on, his state of mind will no longer be restricted by any shackles.

This is a new state of mind, and he has completed the transcendence of his own state of mind.

A feeling of relief emerged from the bottom of his heart.

As the eighteen statues gradually merged before his eyes, Feng Qi also understood what the reward would be after completing the eighteen difficult challenges.

This was the ultimate magical skill "Infinite Memory" that he had always dreamed of but could not obtain.
