The scroll is now in a spread out shape, floating quietly in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"What's going on?" Fang Yi's face was full of astonishment. He had clearly put the scroll back on the altar, so how could he appear in the sea of ​​consciousness?

Moreover, the scroll is a tangible thing. Even if it is carried by yourself, it should be placed in a storage bag and should not appear in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Congratulations to my friend for passing the first level." Just when Fang Yi was shocked inexplicably, a white-haired old man slowly appeared in front of his eyes. "It is easy to put down two words, but there are only a handful of them that can be done."

"There are too few cultivators who can withstand such temptations. You are the first one in hundreds of thousands of years."

"Let go? Please help me solve my doubts." Only by letting go can you get this picture. Fang Yi understood this meaning from the old man's words, but he didn't understand why it was like this.

"Human desires are the source of the inner demon." The old man sighed and said, "The Tao is one foot taller and the demon is one foot taller. Tao is the human will, and the demon is the desire in the human heart. Human desires are far higher than their own will."

"That scroll is desire, and the inner demon." Fang Yi's eyes lit up.

"Most practitioners want to finally stand at the top of a certain world."

A smile appeared on the old man's face and said, "You can do it by taking that scroll, but you resisted the temptation and gave up this opportunity. But only by giving up can you gain. Since you are willing to give up, it is reasonable to get it."

Fang Yi seemed to understand a little. If he took away the scroll just now, he would be dominated by desire and controlled by the inner demon.

"What if I took the scroll away?" Fang Yi asked.

"Haha, if you take it away, it will be just an ordinary scroll." The old man laughed and said, "Except you, the other eight people took away the scroll."

"The so-called first level is not the Phantom at all, but this scroll?" Fang Yi finally understood that the so-called Phantom is just a concealment, and the real test of the first level is that scroll.

"Yes, not right." The old man said: "As long as you pass the Phantom, you are qualified to continue to pass the next level, but there is no reward."

"Senior, that scroll is a tangible thing, how could it appear in my sea of ​​consciousness?" Fang Yi asked his doubts.

"The tangible thing will naturally not appear in your sea of ​​consciousness." The old man said, "But the scroll in your sea of ​​consciousness is not a tangible thing, but a projection of the real scroll."

"This projection is not as powerful as the original body of the scroll, but projecting into your sea of ​​consciousness, you only need to comprehend the sword intent in the scroll every day, which will definitely be of great benefit to your practice of sword craft." The old man shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll say that, you should go through the second level."

After the old man finished speaking, his figure gradually dissipated and the surrounding scenery changed. In front of him was a dense forest, and in front of him was a stone tablet.

Just as Fang Yi's figure appeared, the other eight cultivators also appeared here. The moment everyone appeared, they immediately realized that everyone had passed the first level of test, and those phantoms failed to scare any cultivator.

There was still no communication between each other, and everyone looked at the stone tablet.

"In the Xingde Mountains, there is a Star Dew Hall and a road in the forest. The first person to arrive at the Xingde Hall can get nine Star Dew fruits, and the second person to arrive at the Xingde Hall can get eight Star Dew fruits... The last person to arrive at the Xingde Hall can get one Star Dew fruit."

After reading the first two sentences, a cultivator had already flashed into the dense forest, even regardless of what the star dew fruit was.

The first person broke in, and the other eight cultivators, including Fang Yi, all rushed in, for fear of falling behind.

The eight cultivators did not know that the scroll they obtained was useless. They thought that if they could pass the first level, they could get the treasure like the scroll. Although they didn't know what the Star Dew Fruit was, they must be a very precious treasure of heaven and earth, judging from the work of the Immortal Sword Mansion.

Everyone was stunned when they entered the dense forest. When they were outside the dense forest, they could not detect the situation in the forest. But now after entering the dense forest, they found that the roads ahead were as complicated as mazes. There were more than ten forks in the front dozens of meters ahead, extending to different places.

Fang Yi released his spiritual consciousness, but found that as if he was in that corridor, his eyesight was within his reach and could not cover too far, let alone explore the place where each road leads to the fusion.

The cultivator who first entered it was also standing at the fork in the road, hesitating and hesitating. There were dozens of forks, and I didn’t know which one to choose. Then he tried hard to recall the words on the stone tablet and wanted to calculate what to do from the lines.

Unfortunately, I was too anxious just now. I just swept my eyes and rushed in. The rest of the text only had a vague impression, but I couldn't recall the specific content.

Fang Yi came in relatively late, but he saw the words on the stone tablet clearly, and only introduced that the star dew fruit could enhance the spiritual consciousness of the cultivator, but he did not mention these dense forks in the forest, and there was no guidance like maps.

It is not a solution to waste it. Finally, someone chose a fork in the road. Since he had made a choice, the cultivator no longer hesitated and tried his best to run wildly into the deep mountains, rivers and forests. Someone made a choice and felt more pressure on the rest of them. They all wanted to get the highest rankings as much as possible, and they were unwilling to fall behind.

The rest of the cultivators also chose to move forward on all the forks, and Fang Yi was also the same. Especially after knowing that the Star Dew Fruit can improve his spiritual consciousness, his heart became even more intense. His spiritual consciousness was extremely close to the middle stage of the Golden Pill. If he could obtain a few more Star Dew Fruits, he might be able to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Pill.

Walking along the road, the two roads that seemed not far apart were separated by the woods at this time. Even with the eyes of these practitioners, they could not penetrate through and could not see the situation of others clearly. "There are so many forks." I don't know how many times I have chosen, and there was another fork in front of me. Lu Tong, the cultivator who chose the fork in the road, felt like he was about to collapse.

This Lu Tong was originally a small world. A child of a devastated family accidentally received the Divine Wood Order. Under the nourishment of the Divine Wood Order's spiritual energy, his cultivation level increased rapidly. He survived the Golden Pill Tribulation at the age of less than fifty and became the overlord of that small world.

Moreover, because the divine wood makes the life breath rich, no matter how much injury is, it can recover instantly, comparable to an immortal body.

It seems that I am a little tired of this endless choice. When I encounter a fork in the road, Lu Tong no longer thinks about it. I just rely on my instinct to move forward, and the terrain is getting higher and higher. Soon I walk on the mountains and rivers, turn a fork in the road, and then I see clouds and mist in front of me, and a palace stands in it.

Through the mist, Lu Tong saw three big characters carved on the palace plaque, flying dragons and phoenixes were carved with stars and dews.

"Is this here?" Lu Tong couldn't believe that there were so many forks on the road, and those forks had no rules. They were completely based on intuition. Theoretically, less than one ten thousand of them could reach the Star Dew Palace.

"Congratulations, you are the first to arrive at the Star Dew Temple, please wait here later."

At this moment, a sound rang out.

"I'm the first one?" Lu Tong couldn't believe it, and then became excited, which meant that he could get nine star dew fruits.

On the other road, Matthew, one of the only two mid-stage Jindan cultivators among the nine people, looked a little cold at this time. His natal flying sword was floating in front of him. Not far above him, dozens of strange birds were flapping their wings and staring at him.

These strange birds were hairless and less than half a meter long. A pair of flesh wings was three or four meters long. They had a red top on their foreheads. They screamed. When they saw Matthew move, flames spewed out of their mouths and blasted at Matthew.

The light flashed at the tip of the sword in the natal flying sword flashed, and the sword energy gushed out, scattering the flames. The sword energy remained powerful and rushed towards the group of monster birds. The group of monster birds flapped violently, and the speed was extremely fast. They easily avoided Matthew's sword energy, and fired out from their mouths again to burn Matthew to death.

"These strange birds are not very strong, but their speed is good." Matthew was angry. If it weren't for the fact that this place could not fly, how could these strange birds be so wild.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and eight flying swords were floating around. He pinched the sword skills with his hands. The nine flying swords turned into a sword formation, suddenly expanded to the surroundings, dispersed the flames, and instantly enveloped the strange birds. Then the sword light flashed in the sword formation.

At the beginning, the strange birds were still relying on their speed to dodge in the gaps of the sword light, but as the sword formation continued to shrink, the gaps in the sword light gradually disappeared. Dozens of strange birds kept spitting fire in it, trying to force the sword lights to open, but to no avail, and were soon killed by the sword lights.

"Hmph." Maxiu moved his body, and nine flying swords returned to his body. He looked at the falling corpses, snorted coldly, and continued to run forward. He was thinking about the time he had just wasted, and he was guilty of not using the sword formation at the beginning, which delayed a moment.

It didn't take long for Matthew to turn the fork in the road and look at the palace ahead, and he knew that he had already left the maze. At the corner of his eyes, he saw Lu Tong who was waiting on the side, and he knew that this person would arrive earlier than him, but seeing that his cultivation was only in the early stage of the Golden Pill, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Xu Jian, another mid-stage Jindan cultivator, was as his name was, with a slender figure, like a sharp sword unsheathed. A monster wrapped in stone was wandering across from him, and from time to time he let out a beast roar at him.

"Beasts blocking the road." Xu Jian stretched out his right hand, his fingers gathered together to form a sword, and suddenly a sword aura that was more than ten feet long appeared like a physical sword aura. The sword aura flashed, as if it was cutting the world. In an instant, it cut the monster into pieces, and a pile of gravel fell on the ground of the tunnel.

Just as I was about to step forward, the pile of gravel began to tremble, and the ground was shaking slightly.

"Hmm?" Xu Jian frowned slightly, and saw the pile of gravel explode suddenly, gathering quickly, and reverting to the shape of a monster again, and its size was even larger than before.

"So that's it." Xu Jian's eyes were like lightning. When the gravel was gathering again, he saw a dark green gem flashing in it, like a trembling heart.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the sword aura flashed again. The monster was cut into a pile of gravel again, but the dark green gem was dodged in it with many flashes at any time.

"Broken." The sword aura was restrained, Xu Jian raised his hand, and a huge sword energy suddenly burst out from his palm, as dense as a drizzle. The gravels suddenly turned into powder under the bombardment of these sword energy. The dark green gems no longer dodge, and were bombarded by Xu Jian's sword energy and shattered.

The nine cultivators walked through the maze-like mountains. Fortunately, the goal was to be on the mountain. As long as the terrain became higher and higher, it would indicate that the general direction was correct. On the road ahead of each period, except Lu Tong, they were more or less blocked by monsters, and Fang Yi was also the same.

The monster that appeared in front of Fang Yi at this time looked like a human shape, but had wide shoulders and thick back, huge body, nearly four meters tall, and covered with thick brown hair.

Fang Yi's spiritual consciousness swept away, and his face suddenly became solemn. The monster in front of him had clearly reached the realm of a demon king, but Fang Yi could not see any spiritual intelligence in his eyes. Not to mention a monster in the demon elixir stage, he was even worse than a spirit beast.

"Roar." The monster roared at Fang Yi, and suddenly spit out a sphere condensed with spiritual power from his mouth, banging at Fang Yi.

"So strong." Fang Yi's expression suddenly changed. As soon as the spiritual power ball appeared, Fang Yi felt the power in it, probably the same as the attack of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator.

The road is extremely narrow and there is no place to dodge. As for the dense forests on both sides, Fang Yi had long discovered that both sides of the road seemed to be blocked by formations and could not be passed through.

The natal flying sword was sacrificed to face the spirit sphere. At the same time, the four-color light shield enveloped itself, and the sword blur and the hundred-fold water curtain were also wrapped around him, resisting the attack.

"Boom." The natal flying sword collided with the spiritual sphere, and the spiritual sphere exploded instantly. The exploded spiritual power bypassed Fang Yi's natal flying sword and turned into countless streams of light to blast towards Fang Yi.

"Bang bang bang bang bang." Soon, the four-color light shield was broken, the sword blur was broken, and the Hundred-Thousand Water Screen continued to tremble under the attack, as if it was about to break. Fang Yi, who was behind the Hundred-Thousand Water Screen, felt a tightness in his chest at this time.

"What a strong attack." The remaining spiritual power was bombarded on the water curtain without falling. The water curtain was finally broken, and Fang Yi was also shocked by the spiritual power. At this time, blood was seeping out of his mouth and nose.

Fortunately, the Divine Wood Order was refined, and the rich breath of life instantly recovered the injuries in Fang Yi's body.

"This is not similar to a mid-stage Jindan cultivator." Fang Yi smiled bitterly, "This attack is almost close to the mid-stage Jindan limit."

Even the cultivator who practiced thunder skills encountered in Tai Ancient Sect, Fang Yi could barely block his flying knife with his own defensive means. However, the monster just seemed to spit out a spiritual sphere at random, which shocked Fang Yi. This attack power is probably the most powerful among the middle-stage cultivators of the Golden Pill stage.
