Chapter 596: The Third Floor of the Cave
The old lady sighed and continued, "I don't have much time left. Since you have become a cultivator, the spiritual energy in the outside world must have begun to recover. In the future, cultivators will gradually return, and you will be the successor of our Tianshan Divine Couple. You must not weaken our reputation, understand?"
"What does it mean that the cultivators return?"
Jingtian heard a lot of doubts from the old lady 's words.
"With the revival of spiritual energy, more cultivators will surely appear in the future. Even the cultivators who left before will send their descendants or come back in person to take away the things they left behind, and you will receive the inheritance of my husband and me." The old lady explained his doubts to Jingtian.
The more Jingtian listened, the more confused he became. After sorting out his thoughts, he asked, "You said the inheritance of your husband and wife? Where is that senior?"
"He has a strange personality and did not leave any soul here, so you can't see him, but his inheritance is not missing at all. " said the old lady.
"Senior, can I ask you again, where are you and your husband now? What kind of place is this place?" Jingtian continued to ask.
"First of all, let me tell you that if nothing unexpected happens, we should still be alive, but we are in another spiritual world of cultivation. When you reach a certain level of strength, you will have the opportunity to come here. As for this place, it is just an information jade slip. After I complete my mission, this jade slip space will be destroyed." said the old lady.
Jingtian digested the information again and was about to continue asking questions, but was interrupted by the old lady: "I can only answer one more question for you, and then tell you how to obtain our inheritance. You still have a part of the test to complete."
Jingtian paused slightly, not daring to have any objection to the old lady's words. He had many doubts, but there was only one question left, and he didn't know what to ask for a moment.
"If you have no questions, just listen to me carefully."
The old lady waited for a few seconds and when she saw Jingtian didn't say anything, she took the initiative to speak.
Jingtian nodded.
"First of all, you have to formally become our disciple, the Tianshan Divine Couple. Are you willing?" The old lady asked Jingtian very kindly.
Jingtian hesitated for a moment and nodded; "As long as I don't do anything against my conscience, I am willing to become your disciple."
"Yes, don't worry. My husband and I are both righteous monks. If you have an evil heart, we will not accept you. The fact that you can enter this illusion chamber has proved your good heart..."
"Wait, you said the secret room was an illusion, then the huge valley before that..."
"When truth is false, falsehood is true, none of that matters anymore. The most important thing is that your final bit of persistence made you successful. If you finally give up in despair and don't take any self-rescue actions, you will be trapped in the illusion forever." said the old lady.
Jingtian was a little confused at first, and it took him some time to sort things out before he understood.
After I understood it, I felt a little scared.
All his previous long journey in the valley was in vain.
The key point is to jump into the abyss, and the key point is not to give up on survival even when your true energy is exhausted!
If I hadn't used the Vajra Talisman to save myself in the end, even if I didn't die from the fall, I would have been trapped in the illusion forever.
What an amazing illusion!
Jingtian sighed.
"Okay, the energy of this remnant soul of mine will be exhausted. Kowtow, and then we will enter the power transmission room. By then, my other remnant soul will be able to explain some things to you and let you formally become my disciple." The old lady spoke again.
"Kowtow?" Jingtian asked hurriedly.
"Yes, just bow down towards the central stone pillar of the three stone pillars."
The old lady told Jingtian something, and then the illusory image was shattered.
Jingtian called twice but received no response.
Boom...Crack...
Suddenly, the entire foggy space was filled with sounds of collapse and shattering.
Jingtian was frightened and quickly retreated .
Crack!
The jade token in Jingtian's hand suddenly shattered into pieces, turning into several pieces of gravel, and even the previous white jade color disappeared.
“Amazing stuff!”
Jingtian took a look at the gravel in his hand, sighed slightly, and threw the gravel back into the wooden box.
Then Jingtian looked at the three stone pillars he came from, and his figure flashed and he jumped over.
At this time, Jingtian could move freely here without any obstacles.
"Worship the stone pillar..."
Jingtian was a little speechless. He looked at the stone pillar carefully. He couldn't understand the thoughts of these cultivators. Why did they make it so complicated? Wouldn't it be better to just pass on the skills directly?
Jingtian looked carefully at the middle stone pillar and found some differences from the one above.
"I don't know how they are doing, wife..."
When Jingtian thought of the upper level, he naturally thought of Lan Ya, and worry and sadness arose in his heart again.
If I go out again, I may not be able to see my lover anymore!
Although I know my life is not in danger, it still feels very uncomfortable.
He was distracted for a moment and quickly focused his attention on the stone pillar in the middle.
It is also a sculpture of an old man with a solemn appearance. The old man on the pillar of the first floor is sitting in a cloud with messy array patterns.
Under the seat here is an incense burner, with some flowers and plants beside it. If you look closely at the other side, you can see the faint silhouette of a woman!
"No matter what, even though your senior is gone, I still have to pay homage to you. Since you said you would take me in as your disciple, then I'll just treat it as my apprenticeship!"
Jingtian observed for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on, so he simply stopped studying it, adjusted his mindset, bowed first, and then knelt on his knees.
"Disciple Jingtian, today I take the Tianshan Divine Couple as my master. I kowtow to both of you!"
Jingtian is not incapable of speaking in a flowery way, but he is too lazy to make it so sensational, so he just wants to be down-to-earth.
The most important thing is that he doesn't think anyone can see his behavior. It all depends on his sincerity.
Boom boom boom.
After Jingtian finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground three times.
When he kowtowed, Jingtian was really sincere.
After all, as a man who already had seven disciples, Jingtian knew well the seriousness of becoming a disciple.
Buzz!
Just after Jingtian kowtowed three times, the stone pillar with formation pattern next to him suddenly trembled and then emitted a glow.
Just activated it like that?
Jingtian quickly stood up and observed the changes in the stone pillar.
No different from the previous ones, the stone pillar quickly turned into a beam of light.
Without anyone's reminder, Jingtian walked directly into the light column.
whoosh!
Jingtian's figure disappeared in the light column with a whoosh.
Jingtian was in a trance for a moment, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he had changed the illusion again.
Turning around, I saw that there were no stone pillars beside me.
Looking forward, I found that the space here was less than 80 square meters, a very clean and bright stone room.
The light comes from a bead on the top of the cave, a night-shining pearl.
There are quite a few of these things in the giants' caves, so it's nothing rare.
There are two jade statues a few meters ahead.
One of them was the kind old lady who had talked to Jingtian before, and the other was an elderly man with an elegant face.
The statues are definitely masterpieces. Although they are statues, they are lifelike and one can even feel their temperament.
The old lady is kind and charitable, and the old man has a gentle face.
But the old man's expression gives people a feeling of being old-fashioned and unruly.
