Chapter 402: The Price of Transcendence
When Linglong was stared at by the Xiezhi, her whole body tensed up and she felt like she was being locked by some terrifying creature.
Even the will of the mind seemed to be frozen at this moment.
“What kind of power is this!”
"Just a look can actually block the fluctuations in my mind and make me unable to put up the slightest resistance!" Linglong's heart vibrated, and her whole body seemed like an uncontrollable machine, moving towards the golden scale step by step.
"Man! It's your turn!"
Xiezhi poked its head out, staring at Linglong with its eyes, and there was a hint of urging in its tone.
"Xiezhi, what will happen if I pass the goddess' judgment?" Linglong suppressed the discomfort and conveyed her inner thoughts through the magnetic field of her mind.
Seeing that this human actually recognized him, Xiezhi's expression softened a bit, and a few streams of red-gold hot air visibly emanated from his nose. He said, "If you pass the goddess's judgment, you will gain her favor, pass through this barrier between life and death, and go to the place where the gods sleep!"
"The resting place of the gods? Not the garden of the gods?"
"I see!"
Linglong took a deep breath and walked in front of Libra. At the moment, she was unable to eliminate Libra's judgment.
Because she could sense that the space around her was filled with an invisible energy field.
The level of this energy stance was one level higher than the martial arts energy she had cultivated. It was as if it was the master of the rules in this relic space, and she was unable to mount any resistance at all.
She had no choice but to follow the Xiezhi's instructions, reach back, clench her fingers into claws, and actually grabbed the still beating heart out of her chest.
As the heart was placed on the tray of the golden scale, Linglong felt her whole body stiffen, and her bleeding body fell straight to the ground.
However, after she became a saint, her body functions had exceeded the limits of ordinary humans. At this moment, she relied on the skill of closing her blood vessels to allow her body to prolong its breath and avoid dying immediately.
And during this moment of time, Linglong looked up and watched the movement of the tray.
"When you are placed in the scales and weighed with the feather of truth... do not let judgment go against me... do not let the judge cry out before me..."
As the ancient scale of judgment echoed in the ruins, the bronze feather that was originally raised actually formed a balanced state with Linglong's heart.
Upon seeing this, the Xiezhi let out a long howl towards the sky, and a gust of black wind spewed out from its mouth and nose, sweeping across the entire underground ruins.
Be it the clones or the Russian explorers who followed Linglong in, they were all turned into mummies and ashes by the black wind at this moment.
Similarly, even Linglong's body turned into ashes at this moment.
But strangely, Linglong found that her consciousness did not dissipate.
On the contrary, she felt as if her soul had left her body, and under the shining golden light of the golden scale, she began to float lightly to a height of several meters.
"Is this an out-of-body experience? The soul consciousness is materializing!"
"Manifesting the Saint, this should be the realm of cultivation for Manifesting the Saint!" Linglong opened her eyes wide, and remembered the subsequent path of cultivation mentioned when she and Chen Jue were discussing the Tao.
Although she has not yet reached that realm and is still at the level of transcendence, she can glimpse the subsequent path of cultivation by looking up to the great masters.
However, she had never expected that the series of encounters with these mysterious underground ruins would allow her to enter the realm of enlightenment one step ahead of time.
Although he has lost his body and his soul has become holy, he can die in the evening after hearing the truth in the morning !
Now that my physical body has been destroyed, I have touched true death.
At this moment, Linglong felt that her thoughts were clear, as if she had transcended.
Xiezhi naturally saw all of this, and spoke in human language: "Human! You have passed the goddess's judgment! Come with me to see the goddess!"
As soon as the words fell, the huge body of Xiezhi, along with the golden scale, suddenly burst out with a red-gold light.
With the sound of the last wave, this beast and this weapon were decomposed into countless plasma energies under the influence of an invisible energy field, and returned to the ancient bronze wall of sighs.
Linglong looked at the patterns of Xiezhi and Libra that reappeared on the wall in front of her, and she was also curious. She controlled the soul body of the saint to float forward and stretched out her hand to gently place it on the bronze wall.
In an instant, her entire soul seemed to emit golden light and was also absorbed by the bronze wall.
“The boundary between life and death.”
"I see!"
"The gods are no longer in this world. If you want to go to the place where the gods sleep, you must use the will of the divine mind to pass through the material barrier of the Wall of Sighs."
“Only when the mind breaks through the limitations of the physical body can the speed of thought break the speed of light and truly achieve transcendence.”
At this moment Linglong finally understood why the ancient civilization of her second home left behind such a wall.
This wall is just an energy carrier, containing huge amounts of plasma energy and spiritual energy.
If you want to touch the secrets behind the Wall of Sighs, you must put aside life and death and let your soul leave the constraints of the body.
In the previous Libra judgment, there was actually no distinction between good and evil.
There are only trade-offs.
If you cannot let go of the shackles of the flesh, you will not be able to reach the other side behind the Wall of Sighs.
The reason why Eugene failed to pass the Xiezhi's test was because he took a shortcut and used the clone's heart to make up the number.
Someone like him who is attached to the mundane world is destined to be unable to take this last step.
Of course, after Linglong entered the bronze wall, her thoughts and vision successfully took the fast lane that exceeded the speed of light and went back to the heaven long ago.
As countless ancient images flashed by, she also saw the true origin of her second home recorded on the Martian civilization monument.
And her soul, due to the overload of this huge amount of information transmission, began to fall into an adaptive sleep.
When her slumber is over, she will ascend to heaven in one step, from the previous stage of transcendence to directly master the manifestation of divinity, and even interfere with matter with her mind and reshape her lost body.
This is the heritage of the gods left behind by the ancient celestial civilization, and it is also the eternal treasure that the old man Eugene has been thinking about.
…
At the same time that Linglong passed the test set by the gods in heaven, an invisible energy field rippled outward from the bottom of the crescent-shaped lake.
This stance grew bigger and bigger, and eventually, like a signal of closing a door, it closed all the wormhole tunnels leading to the moon from the second home.
Little Sister Yun, who is somewhere in the second home, is currently practicing the Way of All Beasts with Bai Ze's company.
But when this invisible wave of attitude swept past, Yun Xiaomei suddenly woke up from her meditation!
"Bai Ze...the passage...is closed!"
