Ten thousand years of time, for Primordial World, is just a blink of an eye.
When more and more creatures gathered around Kunlun Mountain, like a surging tide, the moment that decided the fate of countless seekers finally arrived.
On this day, outside Kunlun Mountain, there were thousands of glowing lights and thousands of auspicious auras.
In the direction of the Jade Void Palace, a huge platform made of flawless white jade, towering into the clouds, appeared out of thin air and suspended in mid-air.
On the platform, clouds and mist were lingering, and countless mysterious runes could be vaguely seen circulating, exuding a noble, majestic, and unblasphemous atmosphere.
This is exactly the "White Jade Ascension Platform" laid out by Primordial Heavenly Venerate himself!
Immortal Official Nanji's figure appeared in front of the white jade platform, and his voice was gentle but spread throughout the West.
"According to the decree of Jade Pure Sage, this white jade platform is a test of good fortune. Anyone who can climb to the top of this platform within three days with his or her own ability will have the chance to enter my Chan Teachings door wall and listen to the saint's way."
As soon as the words fell, countless people who had been waiting for a long time suddenly became excited!
Birds and beasts roared, auras flashed, and figures rushed towards the white jade platform impatiently.
However, is this White Jade Terrace easy to use?
A strong man with the blood of ancient beasts confidently stepped onto the platform. He felt an invisible force pressing down on him, as if the entire weight of Kunlun Mountain was condensed here!
He roared angrily, revealing part of his original shape, with muscles all over his body tangled and veins popping out. He barely climbed up more than ten steps, but was sweating profusely and walking with difficulty.
Every time you go up a level, the pressure doubles!
Finally, at the thirtieth level, he was ejected by a gentle but irresistible force, and landed slumped on the ground with a look of unwillingness.
Another Ganoderma lucidum, which had been cultivated for thousands of years, attained enlightenment and transformed into a girl in green. She walked lightly and tried to resist the pressure with the endless life of the Wood Walking Way.
It seemed okay at first, but after crossing the fiftieth level, the pressure actually contained a trace of the power of law to cleanse the source and analyze the roots!
The spiritual energy all over her body was in chaos, and her transformed form began to become unstable. After all, she failed to pass the middle test and retired sadly.
This white jade platform not only tests the monk's magical power, but also examines whether the roots are pure and deep, and whether the blessings are long-lasting.
On the stage, most of them were descendants of Innate Beings, or monks with upright roots and long fortunes who were struggling to climb.
Their bodies are covered with gleaming treasures, or they sacrifice spiritual treasures for protection, or use mystical magical powers to contend with the ubiquitous pressure.
Those who can climb a hundred steps are rare, and all of them will cause exclamations from below.
Among them, a young Daoist named Guang Chengzi, with the aura of Orthodox Xuanmen, walked steadily, although slowly, but step by step, he was firm and upward, and soon surpassed most people, attracting attention.
Another monk named Yu Ding, surrounded by auspicious clouds, seemed to be in harmony with the clouds on the White Jade Platform. The pressure was greatly reduced and he stood out.
At the same time, on the other side of Kunlun Mountain, in the direction of the Interception Sect Biyou Palace, the scene is completely different.
There is no high platform, no glow, just a seemingly ordinary valley entrance shrouded in hazy mist.
Daoist Duobao stood quietly at the mouth of the valley with a loud voice.
"According to the decree of Shangqing Sage, this is 'Heart-Questioning Formation'. There is no one else in the formation, only your heart towards the Tao. No matter where you are, no matter where you come from, anyone who can stay within a stick of incense without losing concentration and walk out of this formation can enter my Interception Sect and intercept a glimmer of life!"
This condition sounds much simpler than the difficult steps of Bai Yutai.
Immediately, more creatures who thought they had ordinary feet or no valuables to protect themselves surged towards the entrance of the valley like a tide.
However, once you enter the formation, you will know how powerful it is!
The formation is not a situation of killing, but the illusion of the original mind.
A wolf demon stepped into the formation, and the scene in front of it suddenly changed, as if it had returned to the desperate situation when it was weak and was hunted down by the powerful Demonic Beast. Fear instantly seized its mind. It howled and attacked the phantom crazily, but fell deeper and deeper. Finally, its mind was exhausted, and it fell to the ground and was sent out by the formation.
Another plant elf entered, and a supreme elixir that could enhance its bloodline actually appeared in the illusion, tempting it to give up and practice on the spot.
It struggled for a long time, but in the end it could not resist its instinctive desire for evolution. It indulged in the illusion and missed the time.
This Heart-Questioning Formation has evolved into thousands of illusions, which may be fear, temptation, obsession, or confusion... the first one refers to the most vulnerable part of the heart.
The test is whether the Daoist heart is firm, whether the will is tenacious, and whether the pursuit of "Tao" transcends instinct, desire and fear.
There are thousands of scenes in the formation, a mixture of sorrow and joy.
There are living beings who have experienced hundreds of reincarnations in the illusion, seeing through the world of mortals, and their Daoist hearts have become clearer and clearer, walking out of the fog with firm steps; there are living beings who are able to stick to their true hearts and remain unmoved in the face of boundless power and the temptation of beautiful fairies; there are also living beings who have epiphanies in the horror of life and death, cut through the illusion, and suddenly become enlightened.
I saw a female monk wearing a Daoist robe and a heroic face, named Jin Ling, who was attacked by inner demons in the illusion, and actually chopped the inner demons into pieces with her own strong will. Although she was embarrassed, she came out with blazing eyes.
Three more sisters, named Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, join hands to support each other and keep the spiritual platform a little clear amid thousands of illusions, also through the Heart-Questioning Formation method.
In contrast, the white jade stage, although also difficult, showed more "order" and "desertedness".
Those who make it to the stage are all people with extraordinary abilities and good luck. Although there is competition among them, it is more of a selection that conforms to the "rules".
In front of Heart-Questioning Formation, there was "chaos" and "enthusiasm", with countless creatures rushing one after another, performing scenes of tragedies and comedies of Daoist struggles, full of vitality and variables.
The three-day period is approaching.
On the white jade platform, only twelve figures finally made it to the top, bathing under Jade Clarity Immortal Light. It was Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect who would become famous as Primordial World in the future.
Guang Chengzi, red, True Person Huang Long, Juliusun, True Person Taiyi, Grand Master Lingbao, Venerable Manjushri, True Person Samantabhadra, Daoist Cihang, True Person Yu Ding, Venerable Daoxing, True Lord Qingxu, all of them have extraordinary bearing and deep foundation.
In Heart-Questioning Formation, there were hundreds of monks walking out. Although they were all good and bad, they all had firm eyes and a spirit that evolved from their inner struggles.
Daoist Duobao looked at the gathering of junior brothers and sisters with a smile on his face.
Chan Teachings and Interception Sect, under Kunlun Mountain, completed the first large-scale recruitment of disciples after the establishment of the religion in two completely different ways, and also laid the initial foreshadowing for the future pattern of Primordial World.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate looked at the twelve well-established disciples and nodded slightly.
Sect Master Tongtian felt the hundreds of tested and persevering hearts towards the Tao, and laughed heartily.
The path to seeking the Tao has opened.
But judging from the way these two sects recruit disciples, the ways of "complying with destiny" and "cutting off the line" have begun to show discord.
