Chapter 296 Picking the Moon with Bare Hands
The reflection of the moon in the crystal is very beautiful.
Its color is different from the common moon at night, it is blue-green.
Large sects usually have their own preferred signature colors. For example, the Demon Sect's color is black. From the sect leader Shen Yan to the outer disciples, everyone wears black robes or black skirts.
The color of Yijian Mountain and Wanjian Mountain is blue-green.
The disciples of the two major sword sects all wore green shirts, including Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi.
The shadow of the moon in the well is obviously a mark, and it is the [door] of [Moon in the Well]!
If you can withstand its test, you can enter.
Yijianshan and Wanjianshan call this test "Running to the Moon".
The stupid players think that the word [捞月] is more appropriate.
Although when we talk about catching the moon, we think of a monkey catching the moon, as if we are all monkeys.
But what's wrong with being King Gigi for once?
Anyway, the stupid players don’t mind.
Ji Li glanced at the moon's reflection in the water and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"
The reflection of the moon in the water is indeed beautiful, because it is illusory yet very bright.
These two attributes seem incompatible, but they overlap in it.
The most important thing is that it has the aura of a sword, which makes sword practitioners feel naturally close to it.
Hearing this, Lu Xun lowered his head and glanced at the moon shadow again. There was no ripple in his heart and he didn't have any feelings about it.
"Is it beautiful? I don't think so." Lu Xun said in his heart.
After hearing Ji Li's words, Ping Shanhai smiled and said, "This is a sword seal, left by the ancestor. It is a very magical seal."
After that, he said to Ye Sui'an: "Sui'an, please introduce the content of this level."
Ye Sui'an nodded and introduced Lu Xun enthusiastically like a tour guide.
The content of this level was consistent with what Lu Xun remembered, and there was no deviation like when he went to challenge the [Ghost-Seeing Sorrow].
What you need to do in this level is to get close to this moon shadow.
The moon shadow seems to be right there, but in fact it is an illusory distance.
It's a bit like a mirage.
However, whether it is far or near from you depends on the strength of your sword heart.
You have to use your sword heart to summon it and get close to it.
The stronger Kenshin's power is, the closer he can get to it.
Normally, after you stretch out your hand and activate the sword heart, if you allow the moon shadow to be within ten meters of you, it is considered an effective distance.
The moon shadow will leave a mark on your palm, which is the pass to the entrance of [Moon in the Well].
Lu Xun glanced at Ji Li, reached out and gently pressed her shoulder, and said, "Ji Li, you go first."
"Okay!" Ji Li said happily.
She thought it would be a good idea for her to go first, to give Lu Xun a test run, so that he could see how the assessment was conducted, which would help his performance in the future.
Comrade Xiaolizi would be absolutely willing to do something for Lu Xun.
In fact, she was overthinking it. The reason why Lu Xun asked him to come first was because of the previous experience of damaging the spirit lamp.
If I accidentally break the Moon Shadow Mark, it will be difficult to test Little Pear next time.
It’s better to be safe and let her go first.
Anyway, he has reached the Great Perfection of Sword Heart, so there is no reason why he cannot pass the test. I just don’t know what the final result will be.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ji Li came to the well, then put her hand into the well and closed her eyes silently.
Magically, she found that even if she closed her eyes, as long as she mobilized her sword heart, she could "see" the shadow of the moon in the well!
"Is this the sword seal?" Ji Li said in his heart.
The founder of Jianshan was, after all, a man who could transform boundary markers into monsters, so it was not surprising that a sword seal contained mysteries.
Fortunately, Ji Li's talent has always been good. When she sacrificed her brain to get a breast, she probably didn't take her cultivation talent with her.
She already had a heart for swordsmanship, and now she has stepped into the threshold of sword intent.
Therefore, under her urging, the water in the well began to rise, and the moon shadow on the water surface also moved closer and closer to her right hand as the water rose...
“It turns out that not only the moon shadow, but even the well water is not real water.” Lu Xun said in his heart.
Unexpectedly, this well is not wet and it doesn't produce water.
This is exactly the same as the dry well at the entrance of the Demon Sect [Turtle's Longevity] .
——They are all dry roads.
In a blink of an eye, the moon shadow was less than ten meters away from Ji Li.
After reaching a range of ten meters, the rise of the well water began to slow down, but it was still increasing steadily.
Until the water reached about six meters, no matter how hard Ji Li tried, the water in the well did not move at all.
This is Ji Li’s current limit.
"Not bad, not bad." Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi praised together.
You know, Ji Li's current cultivation level is only the first level of great perfection. It is rare to have such an understanding of the way of the sword.
So far, the best result in this level is only 2.2 meters, and the record holder is Ye Sui'an.
By the time he was trying to pass the level, his cultivation was close to the great perfection of the second realm. If converted into levels, he was at level 29, the same as Lu Xun.
[Moon in the Well] This dungeon is applicable to levels 20-30. A sword cultivator below the third realm who can attract the moon shadow within three meters is considered a genius!
For someone at level 20, being able to go 8 meters is considered good, and being able to go 7 meters is considered a genius.
I didn't expect that the Demon Sect has so many talented disciples in swordsmanship...
Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi couldn't help but feel jealous.
You are still the Demon Sect, are you sure you don’t want to be called the Sword Sect?
If Ji Li were placed in one of the two major sword sects, the two of them would also cultivate her vigorously.
After hearing the compliments from the two, Ji Li immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliments, seniors."
Then, she looked straight at Lu Xun.
The meaning is obvious - I! Want! To! Listen! To! Your! Praise!
Lu Xun was amused by her and actually thought her innocent look was somewhat adorable. He smiled and said, "Very good, much better than I expected. I really underestimated you!"
"It's nothing!" Ji Li said, crossing her hands behind her back and quietly standing on tiptoe.
Then, it was Lu Xun's turn next.
He walked to where Ji Li had just stood and took a good look into the well.
All the people around him focused their attention on him, and the players who were mixed in with the stationed disciples had already started recording videos and taking screenshots.
It’s a pity that from their angle, they couldn’t record the shadow of the moon in the well, and could only learn the specific distance from Ping Shanhai and others.
But what the players who recorded the video didn’t expect was that such a magical scene happened next!
Lu Xun stood at the mouth of the well and closed his eyes.
A breeze blew by, blowing up the black hair at his temples. From a distance, it looked quite artistic.
After closing his eyes and slightly urging his sword heart, he could clearly sense the moon shadow in the well transformed by the sword seal.
It’s very clear, clearer than seeing with your eyes.
Since he wanted to test his own limits, Lu Xun had no intention of holding back.
After all, for him, there are still many cards that are unknown to outsiders , and they are basically all trump cards.
It's no big deal if you reveal a little bit of your secrets to others.
Therefore, Lu Xun immediately activated his sword heart, and he used all his strength from the beginning.
The small sword in Jianxin's sword heart was not a particularly quiet one. It loved to stir up trouble. How could it be as quiet as a chicken at this time? Naturally, it immediately began to vibrate violently.
What kind of result will the perfect sword heart, coupled with the [heart sword] that others do not possess, bring?
The next moment, the water level in the well did not rise at all.
But the moon shadow in the well jumped out!
A blue shadow jumped out of the well and landed on Lu Xun's palm.
——Picking the moon with bare hands.
