Chapter 145 Hidden Trial
On the path to deity of the Qionghua Immortal Sect.
Lin Yixuan looked at the last few steps, raised his foot with difficulty, and took that step with difficulty.
Looking at the platform so close at hand, I was speechless.
(I imagined that the Shinto Road would be difficult to walk, but I didn’t expect it to be this difficult.)
There were still a few steps left when he couldn't walk any further, so Lin Yixuan began to think of a solution.
(How can I pass this path without exposing my other abilities?)
Lin Yixuan looked around at everything around him. He looked at the stone pillars on both sides of the stairs, looked at the patterns on them, and fell into deep thought.
(These patterns seem familiar, but I just can’t remember where they are.)
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Why doesn't he leave?"
Zhao Linger asked anxiously.
"This is the path to becoming a god. You should know the restrictions and pressures better than I do. To be able to reach this point is already considered a rare talent. Over the past thousands of years, there have been even fewer people who have been able to reach this point."
Liu Yuehua explained.
"I think he can complete this stairway to the gods."
Gu Qinglan gave her own opinion on the side.
"Do you think he can finish the journey? Why do you think so?"
Liu Yuehua asked with some confusion.
(The pressure on the last few steps increases exponentially.)
Gu Qinglan shook her head and explained.
"I'm not sure either. I always have a feeling that he can definitely walk these last few steps, and it won't be that difficult!"
Hearing Gu Qinglan's evaluation, Liu Yuehua frowned and looked at the young man in white seriously for the first time.
(There are seven more steps. The last seven steps feel harder than all the previous ones combined. Wait, seven steps...)
Lin Yixuan looked at the pillar next to him again, walked over, and touched the pattern on the pillar with his hand. (Isn't this the pattern of the Big Dipper? And he has the 'Seven Star Plate (Incomplete)')
Lin Yixuan began to think about the detailed information about the 'Golden Seven Star Plate' that Little Phoenix had told him before, as well as the information about the 'Seven Star Plate (Incomplete)' that he had obtained. Combining his previous discoveries in the Tianxing Secret Realm, Lin Yixuan closed his eyes and began to deduce the secrets of the Big Dipper with the 'Nine Netherworlds Secret'.
(It’s the ‘Seven Star Steps’… I see!)
Lin Yixuan kept retreating, and only stopped after retreating six steps. Then he began to move forward with the 'Seven Star Steps' that he evolved. On the last step, Lin Yixuan stepped on the seventh step from the bottom.
A ray of light shot down from the sky and directly enveloped Lin Yixuan.
Gu Qinglan and Zhao Linger looked at this scene, their hearts filled with turmoil.
Liu Yuehua frowned. What was going on? It was the first time she encountered such a situation.
The light faded, revealing Lin Yixuan's figure.
Lin Yixuan felt the changes in his body. (Is this a reward? But it’s a little unexpected!)
Lin Yixuan retreated six steps again and continued to move forward with the Seven Star Steps. Every time he performed the Seven Star Steps, he would step onto a step at the last step. At the same time, a ray of light in the sky would wrap around Lin Yixuan's body.
As Lin Yixuan got closer to the finish line, the beam of light became brighter and brighter.
With the last step, Lin Yixuan crossed all the steps and reached the platform.
What followed was an earthquake, and the stairs leading to the shrine began to collapse.
Lin Yixuan turned around and looked at this scene with some confusion.
(It has never been recorded in the classics that this staircase will collapse after passing it!)
The disciples who were watching exclaimed in surprise, as if they had never encountered such a situation before.
Liu Yuehua, Zhao Linger and Gu Qinglan instantly came in front of Lin Yixuan.
Zhao Linger rarely greeted Lin Yixuan, but instead stared at him closely, as if she wanted to see through him.
Although Liu Yuehua didn't know what was going on, she understood that this matter was very important, so she just looked at Lin Yixuan quietly.
"I really can't see through you anymore. I used to think I knew you pretty well, but now it seems that I was a little too sentimental."
Gu Qinglan said with some self-mockery.
Seeing that the three people in front of him all had a different attitude from before, Lin Yixuan was a little confused.
(What's going on? Why would Gu Qinglan say something like this?)
"Can I ask what happened?"
Lin Yixuan asked doubtfully.
"Once the trial begins, it cannot be stopped. Wait until you pass the last two levels before we talk."
After Gu Qinglan finished speaking, she disappeared from sight.
Zhao Linger looked at Lin Yixuan deeply, and then disappeared from sight.
Liu Yuehua had no idea what was going on and also disappeared on the spot.
(Although I don’t know what happened, but I think I’ll get the answer once I clear the last two levels.)
Lin Yixuan comforted himself.
Lin Yixuan turned around and looked at the hundreds of chess games in front of him and fell into deep thought.
(The book once said that the first level was climbing a ladder, and the second level was a Go endgame, but the book clearly said there was only one endgame, not so many. Did I trigger a hidden mode?)
Lin Yixuan walked to the first chess game and observed it. The game was not difficult. He had played against Master Xuanyi before. Although he was beaten badly every time, when he decided to embark on this sacred road, he had already made preparations and thought that he was playing against himself.
"Do you think he can do it?"
Gu Qinglan asked Zhao Linger.
“I hope he can do it, but at the same time I don’t want him to do it.”
Zhao Linger answered in a contradictory manner.
"If he can't do it, what will you do?"
Gu Qinglan continued to ask.
"Then I will draw my sword to the sky and rescue him."
Zhao Linger said firmly.
"So, you can do this for him!"
Gu Qinglan felt a little emotional.
(I have obviously spent the longest time with him, but why do I find it increasingly difficult to see through that guy! Even Zhao Linger would take action, so would I hesitate?)
After careful observation, Lin Yixuan sat down, gathered his spiritual power into a white chess piece, and placed it on the chessboard. Then a corresponding black chess piece automatically appeared on the chessboard.
(Is it still intelligent? That’s a bit strange.)
Lin Yixuan once again condensed a white chess piece and placed it on the chessboard, and a black chess piece automatically appeared on the chessboard.
As Lin Yixuan played faster and faster, the black pieces on the board appeared faster and faster.
(The overall situation has been determined)
Lin Yixuan's eyes focused and condensed into a white chess piece that fell on the chessboard. However, the black chess piece did not appear for a long time, and then the chessboard shattered in an instant.
(That’s it?)
Lin Yixuan stood up and walked towards the second chessboard.
