Chapter 1236 - 1235: The Ultimate Cave
"The third trial is very simple; as long as you break through the mid-level of the middle god, and become a late-stage middle god, you'll pass."Hehehe.
Tang Rao clearly heard the sound of someone behind him covering their mouth and snickering.
"You're telling me to surpass the mid-level peak of the middle god, straight to the late stage, when my strength is just stabilizing at mid-level?"
Tang Rao directly slapped himself, wanting to know if he had just heard hallucinations, so he didn't hear the little one's words clearly.
"That's right, that's exactly what I mean, so you have to keep it up. You must be awesome, persisting through this is victory."
What a 'persist and you will succeed'—Tang Rao wasn't driven to death by Wu Suowei but scared to death by Wu Suowei's big talk.
"Alright, how much time do I have this time? If I exceed this time, I lose, and then you'll directly transport me out?"
Tang Rao was concerned only about this point, pondering whether avenging Wu Suowei was secondary; being tortured to death by a casual word from Wu Suowei was not worth it.
After all, Tang Rao is still young, Wu Suowei is quite old, if he dies he dies, but Tang Rao's wonderful youth shouldn't be buried here.
"Well...the master didn't specify, but knowing his temper, if he gets angry, he might lock you in here for a lifetime."
Nobody can blame anyone for this; if there's blame, it's on Wu Suowei's stubbornness and dominance.
"You can leave now."
Hearing that neither this worked nor that was feasible made Tang Rao frustrated, especially when facing an unfinished task and piled-up worries.
Fortunately, before coming to the third trial, Tang Rao told the power where he lived, asking him to go look for it first, saying he'd find the power to drink and smoke with him once he returned after the trials.
Initially not mentioned, if suddenly trapped in the third trial and unable to see the power one last time, Tang Rao would suffer a great loss.
Tang Rao sat on a meditation mat, closed his eyes, and took a nap until it was dark. When he woke, it was already a world of birds and flowers outside.
Tang Rao thought if it was always this good an environment, living here for a lifetime wouldn't be bad, sadly, in such a beautiful place, there isn't even a girl. Tang Rao's passionate heart was instantly cooled halfway.
"For Tang Xiaobai, and the girls lining up outside, I have to get out of this damn place."
Tang Rao walked a round outside, then returned, sitting again on the meditation mat, truly seated in meditation.
"Only when the heart is still as water can you see the truth."
One hundred years like a day, ten years like a dream.
Tang Rao calmed his mind, concentrating all the energy in his body at one point, then transmitting the Immortal Energy from Dantian to every part of his body, even places Tang Rao usually neglected.
Refusing to think of anything, letting the energy flow to every tiny branch, letting the energy develop freely.
Tang Rao thought that by thinking of nothing and using Immortal Energy to impact every meridian, he would gain something, but Tang Rao was mistaken; success was far from what Tang Rao imagined.
Failed again!
On the first day of attempts, Tang Rao impacted the meridians countless times, each ending in failure. Later, not only did the meridians' impact fail, but several accidentally broke, causing Tang Rao to cry out in pain.
A few Elixir Pills down the belly, under the action of the pills, Tang Rao's limbs restored. He learned to do what he did earlier, impact, repair, attack, until later, Tang Rao lay covered in blood, staining the floor red.
If Tang Rao didn't stop the bleeding then, he would be finished.
I can't die just like this!
Before Tang Rao's consciousness faded, he fumbled another handful of Elixir Pills from his Space Ring and stuffed them into his mouth.
Can't give up treatment even on the brink of death.
"Tang Rao, do you think you will die here? You won't. The master said the time here is ten times slower than outside. Even if you die, you'll be tortured to death. Wake up early so you can regain your morale sooner. Don't think dragging time will faze the master."
Wu Suowei already considered all of Tang Rao's thoughts. Don't think you can be cunning like this; in the end, won't it be he himself at a loss?
Tang Rao barely held on, instead of pulling Tang Rao up, the little one pushed him toward the abyss?
"All right, I just said things couldn't end like this, so this is the plan all along."
The injuries on Tang Rao's body were healed with Elixir Pills. He climbed up from the pool of blood and regained his spirit.
Because the meridians were all broken before, after repairing them, the operation of Immortal Energy was ten times better than before.
Tang Rao was overjoyed.
Once before, all meridians in Tang Rao's body were also broken. After Tang Rao painstakingly repaired them, his strength increased significantly. Later on, sometimes when meridians broke, Tang Rao could find opportunities, but many times, he couldn't even see these opportunities.
Of course, he didn't dare to try casually, so as not to squander all the strength this body originally had.
With a thought, Tang Rao found the ground was no longer bloody, and he was seated on the meditation mat again, following the same method to impact with Immortal Energy. This time, Tang Rao finally felt a sense of fullness.
Mid-level peak of the middle god.
Tang Rao realized the Immortal Energy in him suddenly vanished like a deflated balloon, but his spiritual power was now much more substantial.
Reached the mid-level peak of the middle god.
The closer he got to the target, the more worried Tang Rao became.
He worried his hard-earned gathered Immortal Energy was now emptying again, taking a lot of time and energy to refill. Plus, simply reaching the Divine Realm wasn't enough to provide Tang Rao with endless Immortal Energy.
The deficit in his body made Tang Rao feel like a vampire, wanting to constantly extract nutrients from the air to grow robust.
At Tang Rao's level of strength, converting Immortal Energy into energy for himself was an easy task but when it came to it, Tang Rao suddenly found no more Immortal Energy around him.
The only remaining Immortal Energy now resided in Tang Rao's body, within his Dantian.
"Ah, the damned heavens are deliberately playing with me. Wanting the ox to plow without feeding it any grass?"
Tang Rao took out a cigarette, took a puff, and realized it made his mood worse the more he smoked, so he simply quit smoking and walked a round outside instead.
Outside the Zen Room was a canyon. Tang Rao couldn't figure out how Wu Suowei created this place, but if it was an illusion, it felt too real to be one.
Standing at the bottom of the canyon, Tang Rao didn't want to move anymore.
He saw a cave at the canyon's entrance, and from inside the cave, pure streams of Immortal Energy were continually emerging.
The purest Immortal Energy made Tang Rao feel instantly overjoyed.
"Right, this is exactly what I've been looking for, truly the heavens don't let the determined down. I've seen through it; this is what they call leaving a way open!"
