Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 418: 1 Road to Immortality 9

Several candidates nearby who noticed her situation, whether it was the young man in brocade robes or the few people who had previously looked down on Yun Chu, all had shock in their eyes at this moment!

They were all trying their best to stay on the edge of success, but this unremarkable woman in front of them seemed to be doing it with ease?

Elder Song's gaze lingered on Yun Chu for a moment slightly longer than before. A hint of surprise seemed to flash across the depths of his calm eyes.

Seven people passed the second level.

Elder Song said nothing more, turned and walked towards the mysterious ancient stone door, pinched his fingers and emitted a green light.

Rumble…

The stone door slowly opened, revealing a chaotic, swirling gray mist behind it.

A heart-pounding wave that penetrated the very essence of the soul spread out.

"The third level is to concentrate your mind." Elder Song's voice had a strange penetrating power that reached everyone's soul.

"This level requires no secrets or techniques, only a question of one's true heart. Enter this 'Corridor of Inquiry' and your deepest obsessions, most burning desires, most hidden fears, or questions about the great truth will all trigger the manifestation of inner demons and illusions."

"Those who sink into it and lose themselves will fail. Those who maintain a clear mind, no matter what they see, can see through the illusion, remain unmoved, and find the path to the exit, will succeed."

"This level cannot be passed without great perseverance and a clear mind. Life and death are your own responsibility."

An invisible pressure instantly enveloped everyone. The first two levels tested their abilities, but this one tested their fundamental Dao heart! This was the real obstacle.

The faces of several candidates turned pale in an instant.

A hint of hesitation and struggle flashed across the eyes of the young man in brocade robe, and finally turned into ruthlessness. He took a deep breath and took the lead to step into the rolling chaotic gray fog.

The others followed closely behind, their figures quickly swallowed by the gray fog.

Yun Chu stood in front of the door. The bark space in her sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, emitting a warm and cool breath, which instantly calmed her restless mind.

Yun Chu clearly understood the depth of his obsession—to return to the pinnacle and uncover the mystery of his past life's fall; and the intensity of his desire—to reach the pinnacle of the alchemy path and control his own destiny. His inner demons would inevitably strike from here.

She didn't hesitate and stepped into the gray fog.

The world in the fog is bizarre and strange.

In an instant, she seemed to have returned to the moment when her golden elixir shattered in her previous life. Countless ferocious eyes were fixed on her, and the terrifying power was tearing her soul apart... The pain and despair surged like a tide!

The next moment, she "saw" Qin Mo's figure again, with a meaningful smile on his face, and there seemed to be an invisible thread pulling him from behind...

Another scene emerged: She reached the pinnacle of this life, holding a peerless divine elixir, and all the cultivators in the world bowed down to her, lavishing her with honor and respect...

The fear of loneliness buried deep in her heart also quietly grew, turning into endless darkness to swallow her...

Each scene was incredibly real, reaching deep into her soul. The intense emotional impact seemed to tear her mind apart. Every scene change was a fierce hammering of her Dao heart.

But every time when her mental defenses were about to collapse, the magic weapon close to her body would exude a strange and refreshing breath, like a spring flowing through the cracked earth, instantly soothing the violent turmoil and allowing her confused mind to regain a glimmer of clarity.

This cool breath did not dispel the illusion, but gave her a detached perspective—making her realize: "I know this is false."

It is not passive resistance, but a bystander attitude, allowing the illusion to wash over him, but he is as unmoved as a rock in the wind.

All her fears, desires, and obsessions became clearly visible, like the swaying seaweed at the bottom of the water, no longer able to entangle her steps.

She just held on to the core of "Who is Yun Chu" and moved forward slowly but with extraordinary determination.

Time lost its meaning here. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light appeared in the gray fog ahead. Yun Chu passed through the final barrier and took a step forward!

The soft light of the outside world once again came into view. The Jade Platform was still under my feet, and in front of me was the tall figure of Elder Song.

Not far from Yun Chu, there were only two people standing!

One of them was a man with a slightly pale face and a trace of struggle in his eyes, but he was conscious. He was the young man in brocade robes from before (later during the assessment, Yun Chu heard his name was "Lin Qingyu");

The other one was a girl with a cool aura and as quiet and elegant as an orchid (named "Zhao Hanyue"), who was silently regulating her breathing at this moment.

The remaining four people have disappeared without a trace, having been eliminated in the maze of self-questioning.

After more than ten people finished their round, only three were left!

The look in Lin Qingyu and Zhao Hanyue's eyes when they looked at Yun Chu no longer had the contempt or curiosity they had before, only solemnity and even a hint of awe.

The fact that he could walk out of the Corridor of Inquiry so calmly showed that his heart of Taoism was not just based on his background as they had originally imagined.

Elder Song's gaze slowly swept over the three people who were left, and when it finally landed on Yun Chu, a barely perceptible hint of understanding and approval flashed across the depths of his calm eyes.

He stretched out his hand, and three glittering jade plates engraved with different patterns appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

On one of the pieces, there is a clear carving of an ancient alchemy cauldron pattern!

"Lin Qingyu, join Bai Zhan Peak."

"Zhao Hanyue, join Hanyue Peak."

"Yun Chu." Elder Song's voice paused slightly, as if with a deep meaning. "He came here with the recommendation order from Danding Peak, passed the three levels without a single mistake, and his Dao heart is clear and firm..."

He flicked his finger, and the jade plate engraved with the alchemy cauldron flew straight into Yun Chu's hand. It felt warm to the touch, and there was pure fire and wood spiritual energy lingering around it.

"You will go straight to Danding Peak and become a disciple of True Lord Yunxin."

After he finished speaking, Yun Chu tightly grasped the jade token in his hand.

In an instant, the alchemy cauldron pattern on the jade plate lit up with a soft glow, and a strong imprint of divine consciousness that seemed to have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers came across the void, carrying a hint of familiar majesty and imperceptible gentleness, leaving a subtle mark in her sea of ​​consciousness.

At the same time, deep in the distant mountains, on the top of a giant peak shrouded in the misty Danxia fog, in the main hall that roars all year round and has the shadows of thousands of tripods rising and falling, the figure on the main seat seemed to move slightly.

Although there are no words, it is like a stone thrown into a calm pond.

The gears of fate moved forward silently. The echo of knocking on the gate of Danding Peak finally settled clearly between the peaks at this moment, stirring up a slight ripple, and also indicating that a new starting point had quietly spread out under Yun Chu's feet.

The alchemy cauldron jade token felt warm in the hand. The moment the light of the alchemy cauldron pattern faded, a powerful pulling force surged from Yun Chu's palm. It was not overbearing, but it wrapped around her irresistibly.

Yun Chu only felt the scenery before his eyes changing. The jade platform under his feet, the solemnly standing Elder Song, the complicated gazes of Lin Qingyu and Zhao Hanyue, and even the huge palace complex of the Baicao Xuanpu were all stretched, blurred, and faded in an instant.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery suddenly solidified.

A completely different, more majestic and vast aura completely enveloped her.

The ground beneath his feet was still hard, but it was paved with dark and heavy black jade, with natural lines flowing on it like molten gold, emitting a hot and warm touch.

She was already on a platform halfway up a towering peak.

What you see before you is "Danding Peak".

Shocked.

This is Yun Chu’s most intuitive feeling.
