Memories of the Walking Corpses
As more and more people gathered here, the Martial Arts Exam came to an end.
A loud voice rang out at that moment.
"The countdown is over. All those who fail to obtain Immortal Stones will be eliminated. Those who obtain Immortal Stones will ascend the Immortal Ladder!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Immortal Ladder emitted a dazzling light, and layer upon layer of stairs grew out towards them and landed on the ground.
The entire Immortal Ladder gives people a very mysterious feeling, as if climbing the Immortal Ladder will lead to enlightenment.
Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly. He knew very well that if the Immortal Stones was so strange, the Immortal Ladder could not be simple either.
At this moment, some people couldn't wait to rush towards the Immortal Ladder.
They all knew very well that the first person to reach the top of the Immortal Ladder to immortality would receive a higher evaluation.
However, just as they stepped onto the Immortal Ladder, they let out painful screams, as if they had fallen into hell.
Those who did not ascend the Immortal Ladder were filled with terror upon witnessing this scene.
What's going on with this Immortal Ladder?
Why do those who climb the Immortal Ladder suffer so much?
Cui Boxuan let out a soft breath and walked towards the Immortal Ladder.
Lu Zhipeng and Wen Jinwen also stepped forward.
Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked forward.
As Wen Jinwen and the others ascended the Immortal Ladder, pain was evident on their faces.
However, compared to others, it seems to be much better.
Lin Mu also stepped onto the Immortal Ladder at this moment, and his expression suddenly changed.
The originally Immortal Qi and magical Immortal Ladder underwent a dramatic change the moment one stepped onto it.
The entire Immortal Ladder was blood red, exuding an eerie and dark aura.
Several ghostly auras, resembling Blood Qi, swirled around Lin Mu's body.
A system notification also came at that moment.
"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 134 times the efficiency!"
Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly.
He was Mental Attack as soon as he stepped onto the Immortal Ladder.
This Immortal Ladder is indeed extraordinary.
He walked up the steps, and whispers reached his ears.
"Are you sure you want to go up there? Why don't you take a look at what's under your feet?"
Lin Mu looked down at his feet and, without realizing it, the stairs beneath his feet had turned into Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood.
He stood on a corpse, with some severed limbs dangling below his right foot.
Lin Mu frowned slightly.
No wonder those who have completed the game have forgotten what happened here.
The current scene is too impactful for martial artists.
However, he could understand.
Those who can be admitted to Sacred Origin Martial School must be exceptional talents.
They will also be the pillars of the nation in the future.
The things we will face will inevitably be even more terrifying than what we are facing now.
Some of the truths of the world will also be revealed.
"If you don't even have this much sense of self-discipline, how could you possibly survive if you encounter Demon in the future!" Lin Mu said.
He knew very well that the world was not peaceful.
The Border Battlefield thousands of miles away are even more brutal.
It was nothing but Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood; it was all just an illusion.
But somewhere in this world, such scenes are even more real and terrifying.
If a martial artist's will is not firm, how can he possibly go into battle to kill the enemy in the future?
Some Demon also use similar methods.
If a martial artist with a weak will were to encounter their illusions, how would he cope?
Rather than calling this Martial Arts Exam, it's more accurate to describe it as a test of endurance.
What can be honed through trials must be a foundation.
Those who fail will definitely need to strengthen their training in this area in the future.
Lin Mu strode forward, his expression extremely calm.
At that moment, a series of system notifications also rang out.
"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 311 times the efficiency!"
"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 165 times the efficiency!"
"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 221 times the efficiency!"
"..."
Under this pressure, Lin Mu's Mental Power increased significantly.
However, he also discovered that the path to success was not so simple.
His figure moved upwards.
The flesh beneath his feet seemed to come alive, and several bloodied figures, wielding Long Sword, charged towards him.
Whoosh!
They are very fast and extremely powerful.
It is clear that the Blood Qi Value has reached 9.0 or above.
Lin Mu moved, his long sword appeared, and as the blade swept across, several figures fell to the ground.
Blood continued to flow.
However, at the very moment Lin Mu killed them, his pupils contracted slightly.
A flood of memories rushed into his mind.
He was a boy who lived in a small town, but the town was attacked by Demon. He witnessed the death of his parents and was killed by the Demon in despair.
A profound sense of grief washed over Lin Mu.
A look of pain appeared on Lin Mu's face.
As soon as one memory faded, another set of memories emerged.
He was a diligent martial arts master who practiced hard every day. He married a wife when he was in his thirties and had two lovely children.
He thought his wonderful life would continue, but one night, several strange-looking creatures broke into his home.
His wife was controlled, his children were killed, and he could only watch helplessly as it all happened.
He watched as his wife killed someone and was shot dead, and he was controlled by those figures, becoming a murderer and constantly disregarding human life.
His former neighbors and relatives all died at his hands.
That pain was worse than death, and he felt immense resentment at the moment of his death.
The resentment gathered in Lin Mu 'Lin Mu mind, making his face extremely ugly.
"This Immortal Ladder is indeed powerful. After killing the Walking Corpses, I was affected by their memories!" Lin Mu said.
However, if he doesn't kill the Walking Corpses, he will be attacked by them, which is very dangerous.
In an instant, he understood why, out of so many martial artists, only one or two could successfully pass the test.
It took Lin Mu a long time before he stood up.
A system voice echoed in his mind.
"Experience a strong emotional fluctuation and gain 311 times the efficiency!"
In an instant, Lin Mu had many insights, and his Mental Power also increased.
The cultivation of Mental Power involves not only enlightenment but also stimulation.
External Mental Attack are a form of stimulation.
Internal emotional fluctuations are also a stimulus.
This is why some martial artists experience a change in mindset after experiencing great joy or sorrow.
One's own cultivation level will also break through.
Because emotions have always been an extension of the mind and can directly affect the body.
Lin Mu walked upwards.
More and more Walking Corpses rose from the ground and rushed towards Lin Mu.
Without the system, he wouldn't dare to kill these Walking Corpses.
Because the memories of Walking Corpses are filled with strong emotions, people with weak wills simply cannot endure them.
With the help of the system, Lin Mu seemed to have gone through hundreds of trials.
Once your emotions are trained, it becomes much easier to resist these emotional fluctuations.
Sizzle!
He slayed one walking Walking Corpses after another, and a flood of memories rushed into his mind...
