The size of this Nascent Soul relic was completely beyond Luo Jianqing's expectations.
The book "Seeking Immortality" states that the remains of the Northern Dipper True Lord are arranged according to the Big Dipper's Seven Stars. The first barrier to entry is Yaoguang Star, and the large river they just crossed is Kaiyang Star. Further down, they should have reached Yuheng Star, the third star of the Big Dipper. However, after walking for half an hour, they still hadn't found their way out.
As the only Jindan cultivator in the entire team, Luo Jianqing had no choice but to walk at the front.
The further they walked, the lower the temperature became. Fortunately, everyone present was at least a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining, and could still withstand the cold, so they were not seriously affected. However, when they completely walked out of the path they had just walked, looking at the whiteness before them, countless disciples sighed in amazement.
"Could it be... this is the third level?"
Across a white curtain of light, a vast expanse of ice and snow appeared before everyone's eyes. Heavy snow blew violently, and the wind howled fiercely. Even without stepping inside, everyone could feel the piercing chill running from the soles of their feet to their heads.
This time the stone tablet was erected directly in front of the snow.
"Is there an end to the vast expanse of white snow?" Nineteenth Junior Brother looked at it for a long time, then turned to Luo Jianqing and said, "Senior Brother, this should be the third level of the Big Dipper Formation, Yuheng."
Luo Jianqing nodded slightly and said, "Do you dare to go in?"
The nineteenth junior brother laughed heartily and stepped forward: "Big Brother, I will scout the way for everyone!"
As soon as the words fell, when the figure of the Nineteenth Junior Brother completely entered the light curtain, to everyone's surprise, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight! In the vast snow, there was no trace of the Nineteenth Junior Brother. The snowflakes were still flying, and the angry wind roared past, as if swallowing people.
There was a sudden uproar in the crowd, and many people took a step back in fear. Luo Jianqing turned and said, "Nineteenth Junior Brother has entered a different dimension. From here on, everyone should conduct this training separately. No one will be able to help you. If you really can't bear it, remember to turn back immediately. Don't try to be stubborn. Crush the broken jade you got at the black iron gate at the beginning. You should be able to transfer out of this ruins and end your training."
Everyone bowed in unison: "Yes, Big Brother!"
The disciples of Yitian Sect nodded after hearing this. As if to dispel others' suspicions, Luo Jianqing glanced at everyone calmly, then suddenly stepped into the light curtain and disappeared in this space.
When Luo Jianqing opened his eyes again, he had already entered the third level. There was no one around him, only endless snow. Luo Jianqing tried to summon his spiritual power, but found that his cultivation had been suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage, and he could no longer fly.
After taking a calm and composed look around, Luo Jianqing narrowed his eyes. "The first level is limited by age and cultivation level, the second level tests talent, and the third level suppresses cultivation level. Is this a test of perseverance?"
After a moment, Luo Jianqing took a step forward.
The snow wasn't too thick, and Luo Jianqing stepped in it step by step, and the snow only reached his ankles. If an ordinary person came here, even if they didn't freeze to death, looking at such white snow, they would probably suffer from snow blindness in no time.
Luo Jianqing knew that all the Qi Refining disciples who had followed him had their cultivation suppressed, becoming truly ordinary people. According to the book, the better the disciple's aptitude, the more difficult the trials they faced. For example, the aristocratic family member who won first place in the Taihua Mountain Peak Competition had originally been at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Now, forced to become a mortal, coupled with his first-grade aptitude, he was the disciple with the most difficult test to pass, as described in the book.
But now, this most difficult title may have to fall on Luo Jianqing.
Luo Jianqing summoned the spiritual energy in his body to protect his heart meridian, and focused all his remaining energy on his feet, continuing to walk forward. He didn't know how long he had been walking. It seemed like an hour, and it seemed like a day. The surrounding scenery had not changed at all. He seemed to be marking time, but the dense footprints behind him told him that he had been walking for too long.
The snow became more violent, and the strong wind swept the snowflakes all over the ground, like a knife scraping across Luo Jianqing's cheek.
Luo Jianqing lowered his eyes to the ground, seemingly oblivious to the raging snowstorm, and continued walking forward. He secretly counted in his mind, realizing he had already walked a full hundred miles, and then another thousand.
When he reached nine thousand miles, the snow finally reached his chest. Luo Jianqing showed no reaction, calmly using his spiritual power to dispel the snowflakes. His actions seemed to have angered the world, and a torrent of wind and snow rushed down, pouring down on Luo Jianqing's territory like an overturning earth.
This snow was also different from before, and Luo Jianqing could no longer push it away with his spiritual power.
By the time Luo Jianqing had walked a full ten thousand miles, the heavy snow had almost completely submerged his body. According to Luo Jianqing's current foundation-building stage cultivation, he could already practice fasting and even go without breathing for a short period of time, but this definitely didn't mean he could be buried by the heavy snow!
Just as they reached the 10,000th mile mark, they heard a long sigh from heaven and earth: "Heavenly Super-Rank, going against the will of Heaven. This is the limit of the First-Rank, but for Super-Rank Genius, this is just the beginning. Now, you can still turn back."
Luo Jianqing stepped on the ground with his right foot, and the heavy snow around him was knocked away by the fierce sword energy. He looked up at the sky and said, "What can a mere Nascent Soul relic do to me?" As he spoke, a green light appeared between his eyebrows, and the green sword pattern seemed to break through the sea of consciousness and roar into the sky. The small cinnabar mole was also as bright as fire, causing the wind and snow to stop for a moment.
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jianqing actually quickened his pace and walked forward.
