Chapter 19 Inside the Wild Goose Pagoda
Liang Shan said enviously, "Junior brother, you are really lucky. You can go to the Wild Goose Pagoda to cultivate right after arriving at the academy. I have been here for three years and haven't even touched the edge of the Wild Goose Pagoda yet!"
Chen Qing's expression remained unchanged: "Then, senior, keep up the good work and get first place on this month's Undead Ranking, then you can come to the Wild Goose Pagoda."
Liang Shan's face stiffened, and he almost lost his composure: "Junior brother is joking. The throne of first place is not so easy to sit on..."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Perhaps."
Liang Shan wanted to say something more, but Chen Qing interrupted him directly: "Senior, you should just focus on leading the way, lest you make a mistake and take a detour, that wouldn't be good."
Upon hearing this, Liang Shan's eyes burned with barely concealed jealousy, but he still managed a forced smile: "Since you don't like it, junior, then I won't say anything..."
Chen Qing nodded, and surprisingly didn't say anything more.
This caused Liangshan's well-prepared plans to fall flat, leaving them with a huge, unspeakable loss and a humiliating defeat.
His expression immediately became even more gloomy.
Chen Qingcai didn't care whether Liang Shan looked good or not. Liang Shan wore a mage badge on his chest, a mid-level one.
A guy who has been enrolled for three years and is still only at the intermediate level one, who doesn't even dare to dream of being number one on the undead list, is not worth his attention.
Besides, Chen Qing could see the jealousy in his eyes.
A typical scoundrel, if you're kind-hearted and say too much, you might end up getting tricked by him.
Although Chen Qing didn't consider himself particularly clever, this little trick couldn't fool him.
In short: I'm too lazy to talk, so I'll just listen.
He went straight to the foot of the Wild Goose Pagoda, and without waiting for Liang Shan to introduce him, he showed the token to the guarding monks and strode inside.
Liang Shan, left standing there dumbfounded, looked embarrassed, his face darkening further, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh: "You dog, how dare you! How dare you look down on me like that!"
He glared fiercely at the spot where Chen Qing had last disappeared: "The Wild Goose Pagoda has many mysterious layouts. Without me explaining them to you, let's see how you cultivate. Just wait until you absorb too much energy and pass out!"
……
After Chen Qing entered the Wild Goose Pagoda, he felt as if he had arrived in a desolate land, but it was obviously an illusion. He was still in the Wild Goose Pagoda, but the small pagoda, which looked unremarkable on the outside, had a completely different world inside.
Suddenly, a sign appeared before him, with only one word on it:
"Walk!"
Chen Qing didn't understand but felt it was impressive, but he still took a step.
But as soon as he took that step, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
His inner world seemed to move along with his step as he took that step!
The star particles within the light nebula and wind stardust also began to move spontaneously under the influence of an unnamed force, expanding outwards in an imperceptible circle.
This made him overjoyed:
"This world connects human movement with the fluctuations of the earth's veins. As people move, the earth's veins follow. The world changes because of human changes. It's as if humans are connected to the world, using the great power of the world to promote the overall progress of the human spiritual world?"
"What incredible craftsmanship! How could such an unbelievable place exist in the world!?"
Chen Qing was quite shocked, then overjoyed, and took a few more steps.
He then realized that every step he took here had an effect similar to "ground waves," like the ancient myth of "shrinking the earth to an inch," with each step subtly strengthening his spiritual world.
No wonder this place is hailed as a sacred land for earth-elemental beings!
Moreover, it wasn't just his magic that was being strengthened; his mental strength was also being enhanced overall under such immense power.
After a long period of practice, Chen Qing's mental strength has now reached the peak of the second realm, just one step away from breaking through. Perhaps today he can use this to complete the breakthrough to the third realm!
Thinking of this, Chen Qing felt even more cheerful.
He unconsciously began to circulate the Nine Yin Manual—Chen Qing from the Condor Heroes world had already risen to fame, and thanks to his great contributions to resisting the Jin dynasty, he had obtained the complete Nine Yin Manual from Guo Jing, and its efficiency was indeed much higher than that of the incomplete version.
The heavens and earth trembled with him. Although this tremor could strengthen a person's spiritual world, it was still the body that had to bear it, so it could not be used too much, otherwise it would easily hurt oneself.
Therefore, after walking for such a long time, I need to sit down and rest for a while to sort out what I have learned.
However, Chen Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that by using the Qi circulation method in the Nine Yin Manual, he was able to offset some of the shock force, which greatly improved his adaptability to shocks!
This means that he can get much more time to cultivate than others.
As he tirelessly traversed the land using his light-footed skills, he discovered that this area was not boundless, but rather had boundaries and staircases leading to the next level.
Chen Qing suddenly realized that when he looked at the Wild Goose Pagoda from the outside, it had seven floors. He had been wondering why there was only one floor left after he came in.
It turns out that it wasn't that there was only one floor left, but that he hadn't even left the area of the first floor yet!
Chen Qing understood that there must be a large array set up by a master of spatial manipulation inside the Wild Goose Pagoda, capable of containing a vast universe within a mustard seed, a feat akin to that of gods and demons, and incredibly powerful.
The second level was undoubtedly stronger than the first, so Chen Qing stepped onto the second level without hesitation.
Upon arriving at the second level, Chen Qing suddenly felt the pressure from heaven and earth suddenly intensify, causing him to feel a chill. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to circulate his internal energy, calmly and steadily refining the peace and tranquility he had just gained.
"Although this second level is much smaller than the first level, and you can see the end of it at a glance, the pressure from the power of heaven and earth is much stronger. That's interesting."
The greater the pressure, the better the training effect.
The steps on the second level are faster, farther, and more difficult to control than those on the first level. Often, once you take a step, you have to put in more effort to stop.
After resting for a while, Chen Qing climbed up again. Although the pressure on the second floor was good, it was not enough for him, far from enough!
He wants to pursue even bigger and more!
Finally, we entered the third floor.
The third floor, however, is completely different from the previous two floors.
Stepping onto the first and second floors feels incredibly smooth, almost divinely inspired, and the movement is extremely fast, as if an accelerator button has been pressed, making it difficult to stop.
Upon reaching the third level, it suddenly felt as if one had fallen into a quagmire. Trying to take a step felt like being blocked by countless resistances, as if there were countless invisible barriers in front of one's eyes!
Although the pace slowed down, the tremors of heaven and earth did not weaken in the slightest.
On the contrary, as the movements slowed down, each step felt like stepping on someone's heartbeat, like walking a tightrope, which was extremely exciting.
