True Immortal of the Netherworld

There is flowing, white jade-colored light all around, making it difficult to open your eyes.

Xu Yang chose to close his eyes, relaxing his body and mind, feeling like a fish resting in the water, as comfortable as a dream.

He activated the dolphin brain splitting technique, blessed the wine cup fairy's state of mind, and tried to keep himself awake.

"We can't fall asleep now." He kept reminding himself in his mind.

Maybe it was a few breaths, or maybe it was a few hours. This feeling of deep sleep made Xu Yang lose his judgment of time.

The soles of Xu Yang's feet stepped on the ground, and the sound of running water reached his ears.

He opened his eyes and found that he was standing on a circular weighing pan several feet in size.

The scales hover in the void, and people seem to fly.

Xu Yang looked across and saw another scale that was exactly the same.

But there is a spiritual spring in the middle of the scale, and white jade-colored spring water gushes out, making a heavenly tinkling sound.

In the middle of the two weighing pans, there is a straight weighing beam as wide and narrow as a path connecting them.

"It's the Moonlight Holy Spring!"

His eyes followed the path of the "weighing beam" and found that the middle of the weighing beam was pulled by a silver light rope.

A huge straight scale beam is tied to the light rope, and the scale beam is being held by a giant hundreds of feet tall.

The giant had a cat face and a human body, with piercing eyes, and its pupils emitted a cold light like moonlight.

The giant is just a spirit body, without the feeling of breathing, but it is solid and real.

Xu Yang looked up and found that he was being stared at by the cat-faced giant, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

He felt like a piece of meat being placed on a scale and being weighed.

"Young man, welcome to the realm of eternal life." The giant spoke with a loud voice.

"I, Xu Yang, have ventured into the realm of spiritual springs. Please don't blame the gods." Xu Yang clasped his hands together and made a humble bow.

"Xu Yang, a very bright name. I am just a spirit body, a servant of the Moon God Supreme. I am not a god. You can call me a servant of God. My task here is to measure and enter this eternal life. Are people in the realm of spiritual springs qualified to obtain eternal life?"

Xu Yang suddenly thought of something, and quickly used his pupil power to look into the distance of the surrounding space.

He saw a white jade goddess dharma image that was a thousand feet tall, located in the center of the world.

The Goddess's Dharma-connected body shines with bright colors, like the moon that changes and illuminates the world, but the light is not dazzling.

Around the white jade goddess's image, there are seven other identical cat-faced servants standing in the corresponding corners.

There are eight divine servants in total, the same as those seen on the altar before.

He tried hard to use his pupil technique, but maybe it was too far or there was some restriction. He couldn't see the shadows of Guigu Changyang, Shi Jingtian and Zihua Jacaranda.

Xu Yang was a little worried and asked: "Dear Servant of God, are my three friends also in this dimension? What is their current situation?"

The cat-faced giant said: "Are you talking about the other two men and one woman who entered this place with you? Like you, they must be measured by the moonlight scale in the scales of other servants of gods."

Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the others were fine, and his eyes fell on the spring water opposite again.

"Master Servant of God, can people really gain eternal life if they bathe in the eternal spring across the street?" Xu Yang asked with hope rising in his heart.

"The Spring of Eternal Life, also known as the Holy Moonlight Spring, is the deity left by the Supreme Moon God in this space. Of course, the Spring of Eternal Life can make people live forever, but it cannot be obtained just once. If you bathe successfully in the Spring of Eternal Life once, you will be able to live forever. You can get a life span of ten thousand years. If the cycle continues indefinitely, theoretically there is no end to the life span. But in fact, no one can do this. "

Bathing once in the eternal spring can extend your life span for ten thousand years. For ordinary people, it is tantamount to immortality.

The words of the servant of God were extremely shocking to Xu Yang's ears, and they were also a great temptation.

"I would like to ask, Lord Servant of God, whether the Eternal Life Spring can help bathers wash away the excess power retained in the body, such as the power of the Great White Luan Demon. A friend of mine has the power of the Great White Luan Demon retained in his body, causing the physical body to be unable to recover perfectly. I want to use the power of the eternal spring to help her recover." Xu Yang asked eagerly with his heart pounding.

"The Eternal Life Spring is a divine product that can wash away all filth, remove any unnecessary and impure things, and reshape the body. Unless the level of the filthy things reaches the realm of evil gods, the effectiveness of the Eternal Life Spring will be reduced. Greatly reduced. The Bailuan demon you mentioned is just a low-level Xuantian demon spirit, not even a trace of the evil god. I am sure that the immortal spirit spring can fulfill your wish."

Xu Yang's heartbeat was beating faster and faster, and a drum was beating in his chest.

"Then what are the qualifications you mentioned?" Xu Yang asked impatiently.

"Those who can enter this space have passed the test of the gate of the divine realm." The divine servant lowered his head and looked down at Xu Yang.

"The next step is relatively simple. What you have to do is, while keeping the scale in my hand unbalanced, walk to the scale on the other side, and you can freely bathe in the water of the spiritual spring."

"Is this easy?"

Xu Yang first observed

After checking it, he felt suspicious and tried to take two steps towards the opposite side. The end of the scale he was on began to tilt upward.

Xu Yang quickly stood back to his original position, and the scales returned to balance.

"Master Servant of God, this is difficult to do. As long as I walk towards the opposite side, the end of the scale will become lighter and the balance will be unbalanced."

The cat-faced giant curled his lips, half-smiling, and then said: "This scale is also called the scale of the soul. Only the pious and wise are qualified to bathe in the spring of eternal life."

"Excuse me, Lord Servant of God, what is a pious person and what is a wise person?" Xu Yang asked.

"A pious person is a person who has faith in his heart and a pious heart. I am a pious person. I believe in the Supreme Moon God, and I have eternal life in the spirit body. If you also believe in the Supreme Moon God, you can Dig out one of your heart veins and place it on one end of the scale, and then walk to the other end of the scale with your heartless body. If your heart is pious enough, your heart pulse will be favored by the power of the moon. If you die immediately, you will have enough time to walk to the other side. After bathing in the moonlight spiritual spring, a new pure heart will be born. But if you are not pious enough, your heart will only have three breaths to survive. When you reach the eternal spring on the opposite side, you will perish."

The cat-faced giant explained with a calm tone, as if taking out the heart pulse from the chest was a normal thing.

When Xu Yang heard this, he shook his head slightly and thought to himself: "I come from the Zhongyuan world, I practice the Ghost Sect, and I believe in the Great Heavenly Ghost. Although the Moon God Supreme is a divine power that I admire, it is far from being a belief. ”

Xu Yang said sincerely: "Master Servant of God, I am not what you call a pious person. What conditions do other wise people need to meet?"

The cat-faced giant said: "A wise person is a person with a wise mind. A wise person can choose something for himself. This thing may not be valuable in itself, but to the wise person himself it is as precious as life. Afterwards, putting this thing on one end of the scale as a balancing weight will allow the wise man to walk to the other end. But before making a choice, be careful if the thing you take out is not the most weighty in the wise man's heart. The scales will be out of balance, and those who accept the test of wisdom will fall out of this space and will never have the chance to come here again in ten thousand years."

"Thank you, Lord Servant of God, for your advice," Xu Yang saluted solemnly, "Please give me some time to think about it carefully. I am willing to accept the test as a wise man."

The cat-faced giant said: "Since you have made your choice, I will help you activate the wise man mode."

After speaking, a white light was projected from the cat-faced giant's eyes, and as the light and shadow moved, a light and shadow hourglass appeared out of thin air.

"When the light sand in the hourglass completely flows from top to bottom, this test of wisdom will end. If you fail to complete it, you will be kicked out of this space and will not be allowed to enter for ten thousand years." The cat-faced giant said in a serious tone. .

"Let's get started." Xu Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, settling his mind and thinking seriously.

...

At the same time, the other three cat-faced giants were holding scale trays.

Shi Jingtian, Zihua Ying and Guigu Changyang also encountered the same problem.

Only those who successfully accept the test of a pious or wise person will have the opportunity to bathe in the moonlight spring.

Pious people need to dig out their hearts and weigh them.

A wise person needs to take out the things in him that have the same weight as his heart and weigh them.

Two options.

If a pious person makes a wrong choice and loses his heart, he will fall directly.

If a wise person makes a wrong choice, the beloved thing he staked will disappear and he will lose the qualification to bathe in the spring of eternal life.

Next, Shi Jingtian, Guigu Changyang and Jacaranda will all make their own choices.

The location of Shi Jingtian.

"I, Shi Jingtian, am a member of the cat demon lineage of the Hunting Night clan, with the Supreme Moon God as my highest belief. One of my heart veins is the Xuantian Spiritual Treasure passed down by the Cat Demon clan. Legend has it that this Xuantian Spiritual Treasure is It was made by the Lord Moon God himself. If you want to be a pious person, I, Shi Jingtian, best meet the requirements of being a pious person."

Shi Jingtian stood, he closed his eyes, and a scene from his childhood flashed through his mind.

Ten thousand years ago, Shi Jingtian was only a seven-year-old boy.

The people who believe in the moon god are also called night hunters because the moon, which represents the eye of the moon god, always appears at night.

The Kariya clan has a tradition of worshiping the Eye of the Moon God.

In the winter of this year, a plague broke out in the Shimao tribe where Shi Jingtian lived.

The altar of the Stone Cat Tribe was filled with men, women, and children from the tribe, watching a tribal wizard perform a ritual on the altar.

The tribal wizard in black robes smeared his face with chicken blood, jumped up and down, and then stabbed his own throat horizontally with a bone needle soaked in talisman water.

Among the onlookers, the adults covered the children's eyes with their hands, and the timid ones turned around and did not dare to look.

The wizard who had a bone needle stuck in his throat was not dead, but his voice became hoarse and strange when he spoke.

It is said that wizards do this in order to convey the oracle from the moon god.

"This time the plague spread from the Beast Mountain south of the tribe. In order to quell the plague, a boy with the heart of the moon god must be selected to sacrifice on the Beast Mountain." The wizard announced.

"Isn't the practice of sacrificing virgins forbidden by the tribe?"

"Isn't this too cruel and bloody?"

"I am opposed to this method. No one wants to lose their child."

There were questions and objections among the tribe.

The wizard raised the staff in his hand, spit out a ball of evil fire, exploded it with a bang, and then said loudly: "Extraordinary times, extraordinary choices. If the plague does not stop, the entire Stone Cat tribe will be destroyed. If anyone opposes it again, Let him burn in the fire."

The surroundings immediately fell silent, and the adults in the crowd were uneasy, fearing that their children would be selected for sacrifice.

"How can we select a boy with the heart of the moon god?" asked the gray-haired tribe leader.

"It is said that the boy with the Heart of the Moon will not die even if his heart is dug out."

An indescribable sparkle flashed in the wizard's eyes, and he glanced at the boy in the crowd.

"How to choose this method?"

"Are we going to dig out the hearts of the boys in the tribe one after another?"

"If we don't select a boy with the heart of the moon god, wouldn't we have to kill all the boys in the tribe?"

"this is too scary."

The crowd around them exploded.

"Quiet!" The wizard raised his staff high and spit out a ball of fire from his mouth. It fell to the ground and exploded, making a roaring sound.

The crowd around them became quiet again, the adults held the children in their arms, and everyone's face was filled with nervousness.

The black-robed wizard thought for a while, and then said: "There is no need to dig out the heart, just bring all the boys of the appropriate age in the tribe to the Beast Mountain on the full moon day. On the full moon night, the boy with the heart of the moon god will Child, the heart pulse will shine. There are still seven days until the full moon."

The night of the full moon soon came, and the boys from the Stone Cat tribe, aged six to ten, were all taken to the Moon-Watching Rock at the foot of the Beast Mountain.

High in the sky, the moon is like a silver plate, but what shines down is an icy edge.

Dozens of children on Wangyue Rock were shivering in the mountain wind, and the black-robed wizard was jumping around in the moonlight, speaking plausibly.

Suddenly, everything around became quiet, and there was no longer the howling of wild wolves.

A black 100-foot poisonous python with red patterns on its body broke into Wangyue Rock in search of its breath.

When the wizard saw this, he ignored the children and ran away. However, he became the target of the poisonous python and swallowed it in one bite.

Just when many children were so frightened by this scene that they cried and didn't even have the strength to run away.

A child stepped forward, with a silvery color flashing on his chest.

Boom!

Mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and rocks shattered.

The Xuantian Spiritual Treasure buried deep in the Beast Mountain appears.

Xuantian Lingbao - Heart of Stone Cat!

On that day, the seven-year-old child obtained the heart of the stone cat and merged with his original heart.

The child who gained divine power easily killed the poisonous python, and the plague in the Stone Cat tribe was completely eliminated.

The plague was actually caused by a poisonous python monster in cultivation that coveted the magic weapon in the beast mountain. It polluted the water source during the process of shedding its skin.

The child became a hero of the tribe and was given the most noble name in the Stone Cat tribe, Shi Jingtian.

...

Moonlight Spiritual Spring Space.

Shi Jingtian, who was dressed in silver armor, opened his eyes and said confidently: "The test of a pious person is simply tailor-made for me, Shi Jingtian."

Next, Shi Jingtian made a hand seal, and then grabbed his chest with his right hand.

A ball of shining blue passed through his chest and was held in his hands.

It was a magic weapon in the shape of a stone cat. It was brilliant and dazzling.

Shi Jingtian placed Xuantian Lingbao and Stone Cat's Heart on this section of the scale, and then strode towards the other end of the scale.

A pious heart and a balanced scale.

In just a few dozen steps, Shi Jingtian seemed to have walked for decades.

Shi Jingtian reached the opposite scale.

He looked down and saw his own image reflected in the water of the spiritual spring.

His hair turned from black to gray, and his originally smooth skin became as rough as weathered rock.

This was a side effect of his temporary loss of heart pulse.

"Nothing can stop me." With that said, Shi Jingtian jumped into the spiritual spring, splashing with water.

Just when Shi Jingtian entered the spiritual spring, the cat-faced giant who was responsible for testing Shi Jingtian lost his aura and turned into a bronze sculpture, losing his aura and breath of life.

The scale in the cat-faced giant's hand also lost its aura and turned into a fixed bronze shape, no longer having the function of measurement.

In the Moonlight Holy Spring, one of Shi Jingtian's heart veins was reforged, and Shi Cat's heart returned to his chest and became stronger.

The evil spirit accumulated in his body due to the killings on the battlefield was washed away by the spiritual spring. His original body turned into stone chips and dispersed, and his new body was recast at a speed visible to the naked eye.

...

On Xu Yang's side, he opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.

He raised his head and glanced at the moonlight hourglass in mid-air. There was still time.

The corner of his mouth curved into a confident smile.

"The test of wisdom, I, Xu Xiaoxian, am here."
