C14 The Illusion Is Real
On the way to the heart, Ye Heng was undergoing the most difficult trial, which was to make the illusion come true.
Illusions were born from the heart, and they were illusory objects. However, the most difficult part of the Heart Questioning Path was to turn illusions into reality.
With the enhancement of elemental energy, incorporeal illusions could turn into reality, and it also had the possibility of harming the human body.
Originally, even if one could not withstand the test of the Path of Questioning Heart, it would only be a small mental injury. At most, one could only rest for a few days.
However, under the highest difficulty, injuries couldn't be healed just by resting for a few days.
A light injury would cause one's mind to be muddled and turn into an idiot, and a heavy injury would cause one's body to be torn into pieces by the illusion, causing one to die in the underworld.
Therefore, the highest difficulty wasn't used for the disciples of the Outer Sect. It was used for those senior disciples of the Outer Sect who had a stable cultivation base and had difficulty breaking through. It was only used to break through the bottleneck in their heart.
Even so, very few disciples would choose this method.
There was no other reason. It was because this method of breaking through the bottleneck was extremely dangerous. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that there was a slim chance of survival. Therefore, no one would choose such a method unless it was absolutely necessary.
It was said that the last disciple who had returned from the highest difficulty of the Heart Questioning Path had gone crazy. That was ten years ago.
Ye Heng was walking alone on the dimly lit road. His footsteps echoed in the silent space. It seemed like there was no end to this road.
"Tap! Tap! Tap!"
An unusual pattern. However, at some point in time, the sound of footsteps suddenly became two.
Then, a bright light shone in his line of sight.
Ye Heng subconsciously closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the scenery he saw was completely different.
The sky was especially blue, the wind was unusually gentle, and the sunlight was also very heartwarming.
Another footstep had already arrived behind him. That was the footstep that Ye Heng could not be more familiar with.
"Oh, Heng'er, you really came here secretly again. If your father knew about this, he would definitely do it. Another scolding. "
A pair of flawless and delicate arms like suet jade wrapped around Ye Heng's shoulder.
Only then did Ye Heng realize that he had actually become smaller. He was almost eight years old. While he was shocked, he could not help but turn around to look.
What he saw was a face that looked like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.
His throat rolled. The words that he had forgotten to which corner of the world were no longer awkward or twisted. Instead, they burst out from his mouth due to the heat.
"Mother. . . "
Two lines of clear tears fell from his face. Ye Heng cried.
Tears filled his eyes, and his vision became blurry.
In his field of vision, the beautiful face of Qingcheng was somewhat blurred.
"Silly child, what are you crying for?" The beautiful woman gently stroked Ye Heng's hair and said in a gentle voice.
"Nothing. . . Nothing. Ye Heng wiped the tears from his cheeks with his hand and grinned.
"Hehe, silly child, your mother will not go anywhere. " The beautiful woman smiled gently and stroked Ye Heng's hair even more lightly.
Suddenly, Ye Heng's vision darkened and a tall figure blocked in front of him.
"Hmph, it's because you pamper him so much that he will never grow up. "
Along with a vigorous and powerful voice, a seven feet tall middle aged man stood tall and straight with an imposing aura.
"How can a dignified man, a man, cry and cry so often? With such a dispirited appearance, how can you take on such a heavy responsibility in the future? "
" Who said that I can't take on such a heavy responsibility? I've already learned that ancestral fist technique. "
Ye Heng could not help but argue.
"Is that so? Then show me one of your techniques. " The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said with some doubt.
Hearing this, Ye Heng struck out the fist technique from his memory and finished it in a short while.
The dignified middle-aged man did not immediately say anything. Instead, he thought for a while and then touched Ye Heng's head with a gratified look in his eyes.
"Haha! You are my son after all. Your talent is indeed outstanding!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man burst into laughter. His face was filled with joy.
This was what happened when Ye Heng had just started practicing martial arts.
In the next moment, his vision darkened, and the scenery suddenly changed.
A beautiful girl with a shy smile stood in front of Ye Heng.
"Hey, Ye Heng, do you think we will still be together when we grow up?"
The young Ye Heng did not understand the meaning behind the girl's words. He answered without thinking, "Of course. "
The young girl didn't speak for a long time. Then, she suddenly revealed a brilliant smile.
"En, it must be!"
Under the setting sun, the young girl's smile was exceptionally beautiful. It made the ignorant Ye Heng's heart palpitate.
Then, the scene in front of him began to change again. The bits and pieces of experience Ye Heng had experienced before were displayed in front of his eyes like lanterns and lanterns.
Ye Heng's calm face began to change. It was as if a stone had been thrown into his calm state of mind, creating ripples.
All kinds of emotions appeared on his face.
In a short period of time, Ye Heng had experienced countless emotions. His emotions had changed drastically. At this moment, his state of mind was as fragile as a thin piece of paper.
No one was perfect. No matter how strong a warrior was, there would always be a weak spot in his heart.
The terrifying part of the Heart Questioning Path was to magnify this weak spot infinitely and then defeat it.
The change in one's state of mind will affect the performance of one's strength. How could a person with a dead heart have the ability to resist?
As expected, the Path of Questioning Heart began to develop its terrifying aspects.
Countless memories that Ye Heng least wanted to recall appeared in front of his eyes again and again.
Something black was growing in the depths of his heart, eating away at his rationality bit by bit.
Around Ye Heng, an extremely dirty and terrifying black aura constantly swirled around him.
At this moment, his remaining rationality told him that he must not lose his rationality at this moment. He had to calm down.
However, those mountain-like negative emotions were like furious waves, slapping at him one after another.
I can't lose my mind. I can't fall here yet. I must prove it to them.
Ye Heng bit the tip of his tongue and stimulated himself with pain. Finally, he regained his senses.
Ye Heng opened his eyes and found a disgusting black gas wrapping around his body. It was trying to drill into his body.
So it was you who did this.
In his anger, Ye Heng circulated his Yuan energy to condense on his right fist, and then fiercely struck the black mass.
However, the black gas seemed to have a consciousness of its own. It twisted a little and avoided the fist, but it still wrapped around his body.
"Get lost!"
Ye Heng roared angrily. Yuan energy burst out from his body and bounced the black gas out in an instant.
"Hiss, hiss. "
The black gas that was sent flying was like a pitch black poisonous snake. It spat out the snake's wick, making painful hissing sounds.
However, Ye Heng did not have a good time either. He had used up half of his Yuan energy just now. Moreover, after forcefully expelling the black gas that had entered his body, it affected his internal organs and caused some internal injuries.
The ball of black Qi seemed to know that Ye Heng's situation was not good. It let out an ear-piercing hiss, distorted, and changed. In the end, it turned into Zhao Yuanzheng's appearance.
"Bastard, hand over your life!"
Zhao Yuanzheng, who had turned into the black Qi, roared loudly and pounced towards Ye Heng. His heart was beating rapidly in his palm, and a dark black ball of light was quickly formed.
"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time. "
Ye Heng shouted out loudly, and his Yuan energy gathered on his right fist. He threw out a punch.
"Pu!"
A dull sound rang out, as if someone had punched into cotton.
Like smoke, Zhao Yuanzheng dispersed with a loud bang.
Dead? That's not right.
He told him directly that the clump of black gas did not dissipate.
"Da, Da. "
A burst of hurried footsteps sounded near Ye Heng's ear. A middle-aged man with a dense pressure walked out from the darkness.
"Evil creature, come back with me quickly. Your mother is in critical condition, and you still dare to live so leisurely. "
As he spoke, the middle-aged man's large hand grabbed towards Ye Heng. In his palm, there was something black that was quietly condensing.
However, what responded to him was Ye Heng's fist.
The middle-aged man also dissipated with a bang, but the black Qi did not give up. It seemed like it was toying with Ye Heng and changed into Ye Heng's mother's appearance.
Although he knew that it was just an illusion, Ye Heng still felt heartache when he really attacked.
After that, the black Qi turned into the people Ye Heng valued, but they were all scattered by him.
Finally, the black gas seemed to have played enough and stopped changing. It just quietly stayed in the corner and did not move at all.
It looked harmless, but an extremely dangerous aura spread out.
Cold sweat rolled down Ye Heng's forehead, but he had no time to wipe it off.
Because in front of him, a Strange Beast that looked like a wild boar with barbs on its back and a black ball of thorns on its tail was slowly walking towards him.
The heavy pressure was like a mountain pressing down on Ye Heng's shoulder, making it difficult for him to breathe.
This feeling. . . Even ten Zhao Yuanzheng could not compare to it. It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The fear that was difficult to resist quickly spread in Ye Heng's heart. It was as if he had been immobilized. He stood rooted to the ground and did not move.
The Strange Beast calmly paced around Ye Heng. It looked at him from head to toe as if it was examining its own food.
No, I can't do this anymore.
Ye Heng roared madly in his heart. His nails dug deep into his flesh, and he used the pain to drive away the fear from his heart.
"Damn it, even if I die, I will not let you live a good life. "
Ye Heng waved his fist. All of his Yuan energy gathered on his right fist at this moment. Even the tattoo was stimulated by him.
At this moment, Ye Heng didn't hold anything back. He unleashed all of his energy.
The next moment, Ye Heng threw out this punch.
His Yuan energy rapidly shrunk and condensed, turning into a white Fist Seal. With a frightening momentum, it tore through the air and struck the Strange Beast's body in an instant.
But nothing happened. That Fist Seal was like a stone sinking into the ocean. It did not even stir a ripple before it went silent.
The Strange Beast's crimson eyes were filled with a mocking expression. Its mouth drew an arc as if it was mocking Ye Heng.
However, in the next moment, the ridicule in its eyes was replaced by shock.
