I will survive with proficiency

"After entering the Heart Demon Tower, you have to rely on yourself. Senior Sister entered to practice exercises, but there is no protection mechanism, and this time I want to attack a pass. The process is extremely dangerous, and I can't take care of you then." Senior Sister Guan Finally.

After Senior Sister Guan's introduction all the way, Chen Ping already knew about the situation of the Heart Demon Tower.

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for the teaching. After all the trials and tribulations, it is still my own business. Senior Sister Guan, don't worry about me." Chen Ping thanked.

The two soon arrived at the Heart Demon Tower on the edge of the cliff.

The Heart Demon Pagoda looks like an ancient pagoda that is not very eye-catching, with the three big characters "Pagoda of Calamity" engraved on the body of the pagoda.

The name 'Heart Demon Tower' is just another name for it by the disciples.

After entering the Heart Demon Tower, after Chen Ping and Senior Sister Guan registered with the tower owner, the two said goodbye. Senior Sister Guan needed to go to the upper floors to sharpen.

Chen Ping is a novice, so he is naturally the first floor.

After Senior Sister Guan left, the Tower Master limped over and said with a blank expression:

"Since you came here with Xiaoguan, you must know the rules of the Lijie Tower, right?"

"Senior Sister Guan has explanations." Chen Ping said.

The tower owner handed over a jade tablet:

"Since this is the case, I won't waste my time talking. Take this jade pendant well. Once the jade pendant reaches a certain level of sleep, this jade pendant will automatically wake up the wearer. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure that the jade pendant does not leave the body. I would like to mention one more thing. Once the jade pendant After being activated, remember not to continue to experience calamities, otherwise, once you lose yourself, no one will be able to save you."

"Thank you, Pagoda Master, for reminding me." Chen Pingyi thanked him with his hand.

Turn to look at the inner room.

The Heart Demon Tower is divided into eight floors.

The first seven floors correspond to different mood grinding scenes, including desire, fear, obsession, joy, anger, sorrow and joy, etc.

In different layers, the demon types of monks will not appear repeatedly.

The first three layers are mandatory questions.

The mode of tempering the first three levels of mood is fixed, and every monk encounters the same situation. Completing these three layers basically completed the golden core disaster.

The middle and fourth levels are multiple-choice questions.

If the jade pendant has not been activated in the first three floors, Li Jie can choose to continue down Li Jie, the farther you go, the more benefits you will gain.

The mode of tempering the state of mind of the middle and fourth levels is not necessarily fixed, and the scenes or hallucinations faced by each monk who enters may vary widely.

The further back the tower layer, the greater the intensity of the inner demon.

Of course, if you can go through the calamity smoothly, you will gain the most benefits.

The last layer is the comprehensive layer, and it is not used for the golden elixir calamity of the current golden elixir three layers.

Therefore, Chen Ping can only use the first seven floors at most.

After Chen Ping bid farewell to the tower owner, he first came to the first floor.

I was surprised to find that this is a closed empty room with nothing, not even stairs, and I don't know how to get to the second floor after going through the first floor?

But after stepping in, I discovered that there is another world inside.

It was a dark space like a cave. I was on a piece of blue rock on a cliff, and in front of me was a bottomless abyss. Black air billows in the abyss, with thin traces of white air mixed in between.

In the middle of the abyss stands a platform with a waterfall falling from the sky.

There is an iron chain suspension bridge between Qingyan and the waterfall platform.

Chen Ping turned his head and looked around, and saw that the suspension bridge he was on was not the only one connected to the waterfall.

There are several iron chain suspension bridges on the cliffs forming a ring around the waterfall platform, all connected to the middle waterfall platform.

On two of the suspension bridges, there are also two monks walking forward step by step.

One is approaching the waterfall platform; the other is in the middle of the suspension bridge.

I don't know if it's going through calamities, or if it's like Senior Sister Guan, it's practicing exercises related to mental state sharpening.

When the two saw Chen Ping coming in, they turned their heads and nodded as a greeting. They didn't say anything, and then they continued to walk forward.

Chen Ping looked at the iron chain suspension bridge under his feet, took a deep breath, and stepped up.

After Chen Ping stepped in, the iron chain suspension bridge shook for a while, and the countless black air in the abyss turned into dense bats, and suddenly attacked the suspension bridge.

The virtual bridge in front of him was instantly eaten away, turning into powder and falling into the abyss.

Chen Ping didn't panic.

Previously, through the introduction of Sister Guan, I have learned that this is a fixed scene on the first floor.

Those black bats are the objects of psychological attacks, namely: the introduction of the demons.

The inner demon will continue to attack the drawbridge. What the people who have experienced calamities have to do is to use their souls to continuously rebuild the suspension bridge.

Then step by step to the other side.

As for the failure to build the suspension bridge, you will not die if you fall into the abyss.

But it means the failure of the calamity, the activation of the jade pendant, and the damage of the soul, and it will not be possible to return here to experience the calamity of the golden core in a short time.

Chen Ping calmed down, driving the power of his mind to continuously pull the poor white qi in the abyss, and build a suspension bridge under his feet.

During the process of the white gas being pulled, the pitch black that doubled in number would violently attack and disperse the white gas.

Chen Ping could only concentrate on drawing the dissipated white qi again.

The suspension bridge under the feet began to extend forward section by section.

But then, countless black air bats attacked, frantically gnawing on the chain suspension bridge. Moreover, this kind of attack is not just on the iron chain, but between his soul through the spiritual link.

Attack on Yuanshen.

His spirit became dazed and dizzy, and his consciousness became blurred for a while.

Countless black bats in the abyss turned into a huge face, staring from the abyss, with a ferocious face, and a seductive melody came to Chen Ping's ears:

"give up."

"It's comfortable to give up."

"Why bother with yourself?"

Chen Ping shook his head, wiped his sweat, and woke up, only to find that there were no huge faces in the abyss at all.

He concentrated and continued to build the chain suspension bridge.

Extend it a bit, and immediately take a step. If it is prolonged, it may be eaten by black air immediately.

so repeatedly

He completed the jade raccoon alchemy during the foundation building period, and his state of mind was much stronger than that of ordinary monks of the same realm, but even so, the process was still extremely difficult and painful.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally took the last step, stepping onto the Qingyan platform outside the waterfall.

Chen Ping let out a long breath.

Looking back, he saw that the suspension bridge he had walked on was still there, but the suspension bridges of the other two monks had been eaten away before, and they were nowhere to be seen.

He had no time to think about it at this moment, and immediately sat cross-legged, took a shower of water from the waterfall, and began to practice the jade raccoon alchemy.

The water of this waterfall is good for restoring the mind.

The process of going through the catastrophe just now made him feel as if he had experienced an extremely dangerous battle, and he was in a trance.

You cannot proceed to the next step without restoring your state of mind.

"Fellow Daoist, it's ok, you've recovered so quickly." After Chen Ping finished his training in the alchemy, a voice came.

The one who spoke was the gray-robed monk on the suspension bridge that Chen Ping had seen when he first entered the first floor.

The sturdy monk who was about to approach the waterfall platform at the beginning.

"Fellow Daoist laughed at me. My soul is exhausted. I had to practice on the spot for so long in order to recover. I don't know what to call you?" Chen Ping got up and saluted.

The grey-robed monk thought to himself that this was not too long, and for a moment thought that Chen Ping was showing off.

But he didn't say anything, and smiled:

"I'm Tang Xiwen, a disciple of the main peak's inner sect. Fellow Daoist, is this a new guest?"

"I've met fellow Taoist Tang, I'm Chen Ping, a registered disciple of the Ninth Peak, and I don't often practice in Tianyan Sect." Chen Ping bowed.

"I see." Tang Xiwen raised his hands.

The two chatted for a while, before Chen Ping knew that Tang Xiwen was a native-born disciple of the Tianyan Sect. He had grown up as a monk's inner disciple since the Qi refining period.

At present, it is also the third level of Jindan, which is from the origin of the calamity.

"When I came in just now, apart from Fellow Daoist Tang, was there another fellow Daoist on the other suspension bridge?" After chatting, Chen Ping didn't see the third person, so he asked casually.

Not only did they not see anyone, but the two suspension bridges had been restored to their original chain suspension bridges.

And Chen Ping's suspension bridge formed by drawing white air with spiritual power is still vaguely there, and the last bit of the pedal is being eaten by the black air.

"Damn, he fell." Tang Xiwen grinned:

"You don't have to be surprised, Daoist Chen. Although this is the first floor, there are quite a few monks who fell because of it. We have to start all over again."

Chen Ping looked back at the abyss and said nothing.

Even for such a large sect, even for Jindan Daoist, the difference in strength between monks and monks is very large. Just like the fake alchemy like Peak Master Sima, the strength will be greatly reduced, and every step after the golden alchemy will be extremely difficult.

"Let's go. It's time to move forward." Chen Ping looked at the big waterfall falling from the sky in the center of the platform.

Beside the waterfall stands a stone tablet, engraved with——

—Welcome to the second floor.

Chen Ping suddenly realized that this is the way to enter the second floor.

Sister Guan didn't mention these things that came naturally.

The two passed through the waterfall and entered another space.

It was a vast grassland, and in the middle of the grassland was a sky-high ladder that went straight to the sky.

Tang Xiwen said easily:

"I only need to pass this ladder to pass the test on the second floor."

"You don't have to worry, Daoyou Chen. Before I came to Lijie, I asked six or seven seniors and friends about Lijie's precautions. I have a lot of experience. In this way, I will go ahead, and you can learn from me."

Chen Ping smiled:

"Okay, fellow Daoist Tang please."

He wished so.

Each monk walks independently on the ladder, and walking in front and back does not affect the effect of calamity.

Walking in the back, on the contrary, can comprehend some experience of the past from the steps of the former.

"Let's go." Tang Xiwen walked into the ladder first.

When he passed the first floor just now, he was subconsciously pretended to be forced by Chen Ping, but he was actually holding back his energy.

Now is the time to let Chen Ping know 'what is an inner sect disciple'.

Chen Ping didn't think too much about it. He looked at Tang Xiwen's walking style, combined with Senior Sister Guan's experience, digested it a bit, and stepped into the ladder according to his own understanding.

It was very easy to walk at the beginning, but the steps seemed to become heavy afterward.

Every step forward becomes extremely difficult.

What's even more prominent is that every time he takes a step, there will be traces of red light splashing between the footsteps and the ladder, and those lights will quickly penetrate into his body, constantly attacking his mind.

"boom!"

When Chen Ping buried his head forward, he bumped into something suddenly and stopped involuntarily.

When I looked up, I realized that it hit Tang Xiwen's back.

"Fellow Daoist Tang?" Chen Ping called out.

Tang Xiwen looked back at Chen Ping with difficulty, and was already sweating profusely, and smiled awkwardly:

"Hehe, damn it, these red threads are quite difficult."

After speaking, continue to walk forward.

Chen Ping saw Tang Xiwen's calf tremble every time he took a step.

Chen Ping actually felt that his legs were heavy, but it was far from trembling.

This inner disciple is not very strong, Chen Ping smiled inwardly.

"How about? I go ahead?" After walking a certain distance, Chen Ping suggested that Tang Xiwen was having a hard time.

"Okay." Tang Xiwen sneered:

"I just went out to practice a few days ago, and the soul has been damaged and has not fully recovered, otherwise it would not be like this."

Chen Ping smiled, walked sideways around Tang Xiwen and continued upwards.

In fact, there is not much difference between walking ahead and walking behind. The only profit of walking behind is that you can observe the former way of moving and gain some experience benefits.

Other than that, more is on your own.

There is no one who can help in the calamity.

Chen Ping continued to make steady progress.

There were more and more red threads being attacked. Once these red threads entered his body, they would reach his mind directly, causing him to see countless various terrifying pictures in a short time.

And the more fear you feel in your heart, the heavier your steps become.

At the end, Chen Ping's legs seemed to be filled with lead.

But in the end, it came to the end and appeared before the entrance of the third floor.

He immediately sat cross-legged, using the aura of this floor, continued to practice magic arts and Wuqi Chaoyuan Kungfu, so as to restore calm to his turbulent mind.

When Chen Ping woke up again, he saw Tang Xiwen sitting beside him and meditating cross-legged.

It was a while later that Tang Xiwen woke up.

"Hehe, in fact, the calamity of the golden core is not so difficult, and not too many monks have fallen because of the catastrophe of the golden core. But the sages of the Tianyan Sect deliberately increased the difficulty of the Heart Demon Tower, in order to make it easier for them to die. I wait for my disciples to gain more benefits in this process. If it was an ordinary calamity, how could it be so difficult for me." Both of them were not in a hurry, and they still sat down to rest after waking up.

During the period, Tang Xiwen thought of the embarrassing situation just now, and explained something strangely.

"What if the first trial is unsuccessful? Next, we can only use meritorious deeds in exchange for another chance?" Chen Ping thought of Senior Sister Guan's previous introduction that every disciple only has one chance to experience free calamity once in a lifetime.

"That's right, but if it's for the sake of going through the catastrophe, it takes very little merit to do it again. Almost every Golden Core cultivator can afford it."

"This is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that if you fail the first time, the sect will think that your state of mind is unqualified. Even if you succeed the second time, you will be forced to arrange some tasks that can sharpen your state of mind afterwards. Those missions are likely to be dangerous missions that no one else is willing to do. Incidents of failure because of this happen from time to time." Tang Xiwen felt sorry for her.

I have to say that this system of this door was designed by chicken thieves.

That is to say, it provides the heart demon tower to strengthen the monk's state of mind.

It can also ensure that some unwelcome tasks can be carried out smoothly.

They are all capitalists.

After the two recovered, they continued to the third floor.

The third layer is different from the first two layers, it is the layer of illusion.

That is to say, Chen Ping himself does not need to move, he only needs to sit in place, and when he is trapped in the illusion, he can resist the incoming spiritual attack in his mind, and he can successfully complete this level of experience.

This level was equally difficult, but both Chen Ping and Tang Xiwen made it down smoothly.

The moment he stepped out of the third floor, Chen Ping let out a long sigh of relief.

'It can be regarded as having officially passed the Golden Core Tribulation. '

'After experiencing these three levels of tempering, my state of mind has been greatly improved, and I will no longer be inexplicably trapped in illusions during normal practice. It's much safer. '

‘As for the next few floors, that’s a plus. '

"Junior Brother Chen, congratulations, you have successfully passed the Tribulation of Golden Core." Chen Ping had just walked out of the third floor when Senior Sister Guan's voice came.

She leaned lazily against the stone gate, arms crossed around her chest.

"Why is Senior Sister Guan here?" Chen Ping walked over.

"I heard from the tower master that you are about to complete the third level of calamity, so I came to see you in advance. At any rate, it was the senior sister who brought you in. If there is something wrong with you, then Lingchun will have to fight with me." Senior sister Guan smiled. .

Chen Ping always felt that she was a bit hypocritical when she said this.

But there is no evidence.

Before Chen Ping could answer, Senior Sister Guan saw Tang Xiwen coming out of it. She immediately became more energetic. Instead of lazily leaning on the stone gate, she straightened up all of a sudden:

"Hey, Junior Brother Tang is here too? It's not easy, but you actually walked out of the Calamity Tower with your mentality. What's the matter? Did your calf tremble when you walked to the second floor?"

Tang Xiwen's old face turned red all of a sudden:

"What calf trembles? Sister Guan, don't you want to talk nonsense? Junior brother, I have a strong mind, and my calf trembles? Don't talk nonsense and spread it to damage my reputation. You ask Chen Daoyou, my calf trembles?"

Sister Guan chuckled:

"Hehe, didn't you tremble? You probably just walked over the first floor, and the suspension bridge was completely eaten away by the devil, right?"

"Senior Sister Guan, there is no proof, you don't want to defile people's innocence." Tang Xiwen blushed and protested loudly.

"."

A group of black crows flew in front of Chen Ping's forehead.

He finally understood that Senior Sister Guan came to see him as a fake. He probably found out from somewhere that Tang Xiwen was also going through a catastrophe, and he might even be a little uncomfortable with Tang Xiwen's mockery of staying here deliberately.

This senior sister, really is!

In this regard, it is almost carved out of the same mold as Master Xiyue.

It is worthy of being a master and apprentice.
