Chapter 40 I Want to Become an Immortal
Chapter 40 I Want to Become an Immortal (Part )
As soon as she stepped into the pool of blood, from the moment the water touched Liu Sheng's ankle, pain surged like a tide, wave after wave, mercilessly attacking every nerve ending of hers.
The water in the pool was bottomless and soon the whole person was completely immersed in it.
As her entire body was soaked in the sticky and turbid blood, Liu Sheng felt as if she was pierced by countless needles from her feet to her head. Every heartbeat was like a small bomb detonating in her body, and the pain penetrated deep into her bones.
Her limbs were in so much pain that she couldn't swim. She finally sank uncontrollably, her mouth and nose filled with blood.
I sank deeper and deeper, as if I was about to die.
Liu Sheng seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the pool. He could not open his eyes at all, and the air in his lungs was almost exhausted.
Even the small tentacles did not dare to come out, and silently penetrated into Liu Sheng's bone marrow, saying that if it came out, Liu Sheng would be even more unable to pass.
Is she really going to die at this first level?
She didn't know how many times the Seven Mysterious Order could be analyzed in high dimensions. What if there was only one time? Would she miss the opportunity to find the way to practice forever?
Liu Sheng was unwilling.
She wants to practice!
One day, she even hopes to become a human immortal like Taibai Sword Immortal!
This unwillingness made her calm down quickly. Although her whole body was still in pain as if it were pierced by needles, she gradually regained the ability to think.
This is just a physique test for the outer house to be promoted to the inner house. It is definitely not a situation where death is certain. Just now, I saw at least three inner house students who have passed the test, which means there is still hope.
But the pain that penetrated deep into her bones made her unable to move, and the despair that almost suffocated her made Liu Sheng almost fall asleep due to lack of oxygen to the brain.
No, she had to stay sober and extremely calm!
She recalled the method of meditation she had learned before. The lecturer had said: "The method of meditation is to keep the mind inward and be calm. Look into your heart and do not let your mind wander, then the mind will be clear. After a long time, you may be able to reach the state of communicating with the gods."
Indeed, although she could not communicate with the gods, sometimes when she was upset, she would use meditation and breathing to calm herself down.
So she stopped her feeble struggle and began to meditate naturally. Although she couldn't breathe here, at least she had to maintain the mental state.
To be honest, it might be because Liu Sheng had a high level of comprehension. The speed at which he could enter the state of meditation was one of the fastest in the school. Therefore, before the physique test was conducted, everyone thought that Liu Sheng must be a genius.
In addition, she possessed the Seven Mysterious Orders, which resonated with the meditation method, allowing her to easily enter a deep state of meditation in which her mind was completely calm.
Unexpectedly, the pain in the body gradually became less unbearable. It’s not that it didn’t hurt anymore, but this kind of pain was blocked from Liu Sheng’s mind, and he could calmly view it from the perspective of an outsider.
Liu Sheng was finally able to control his hands and feet and slowly swam towards the surface of the water.
While swimming, she could clearly feel the pain in her body coming from the energy in the blood pool that penetrated into her body through her pores, corroding her skin, muscles, and finally her internal organs.
As the energy traveled through every inch of her muscles, Liu Sheng's flesh was rotting, slowly revealing the bones beneath the muscles.
When she surfaced, she had turned into a skeleton wearing clothes.
It seemed as if she had swum up in vain, and she no longer needed to breathe.
Although the whole process was terrifying, Liu Sheng remained calm and did not allow his spirit to waver in the slightest.
When Liu Sheng was no longer blocked by muscles, she could finally see clearly what the energy was that was flowing beneath the muscles and above the bones.
She looked down, and although she no longer knew what organ she was using to see, she saw things that looked like bloody leeches, densely packed and wriggling on her bones. They were all full and swollen, with their epidermis stretched to the point of being transparent and almost bursting, and bright red plasma could be seen under the skin.
I am not panicked at all, I am not afraid at all, I am still alive, I am a skeleton without emotions, Liu Sheng kept comforting himself.
After rounds of comfort, after these leeches crawled over Liu Sheng's bones, they suddenly exploded with "pops, pops, pops", blasting out a bloody mist. Liu Sheng's vision was also blurred by the blood mist and he could not see anything.
Liu Sheng subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his eyes, then wiped his face.
Wait, she has a face!
Her hands could touch her soft cheeks!
She opened her eyes and saw that her hands were covered in blood, but at least they had skin and flesh covering the bones.
Looking at my body again, it no longer looks like the skeleton it was just now.
And I don't know when it started, the pain completely disappeared.
what happened?
Liu Sheng still couldn't figure it out, so he swam to shore first.
At this moment, there was already a man and a woman sitting by the pool, both looking frightened.
Liu Sheng was also sitting nearby. His clothes were soaked in blood, and they were wet and smelled of blood. Liu Sheng felt so uncomfortable that his scalp was numb.
After Liu Sheng, another man swam up.
After that, there was no more human figure in the blood pool, only some floating bones.
"It seems that no one else passed the exam. What a pity." The female lecturer said as she looked at the remaining people. Her eyes were indeed full of regret, but the only regret was that the whole group was not wiped out.
"To test one's root bones, one naturally has to remove the skin and flesh to look at the root bones. The sooner one completes the test and recovers his physical body, the better and clearer his root bones are. Some people's root bones are just too poor, and you can't see clearly even after looking for a long time." The female lecturer kindly explained it, and when she said the last sentence, she looked particularly deeply at Liu Sheng and the last man.
“Of course, those with extremely poor roots don’t even have the possibility of becoming immortals, so there’s certainly no need for them to continue living.” A male lecturer nearby said with a laugh.
The other lecturers also chuckled.
"Today's promotion examination has ended, and your bone structure conditions have been recorded in your respective Seven Profound Orders." The female lecturer pinched her fingers and the words on the Seven Profound Orders in Liu Sheng and the others' hands appeared again.
Liu Sheng lowered his head and looked:
【Name: Yao Sujin】
[Age: Nineteen years old]
[Identity: A student of Qixuan Academy]
[Entry time: the 23rd year of Tianhe]
[Residence: Xichunzhai Ugly 12]
[Root bone: inferior]
【Comprehension: Unknown】
[Cultivation: None]
Liu Sheng didn't expect Yao Sujin's physique to be so poor, but at least she passed the test. Let's see what happens next.
As Liu Sheng followed the other disciples and dragged his exhausted body out, he suddenly heard the voice of the female lecturer: "Haha, you were not going to make it at first, but you have practiced your spiritual sense, and you managed to get through it."
"You are the one I like. As long as you come to Qingxu Hall, I will marry you. Don't be afraid!"
The voice was so close that it seemed as if it was spoken right into her ear, gentle and intimate like a lover's whisper.
Liu Sheng looked up in surprise, but saw that no one else seemed to have heard it. He guessed that this was the art of transmitting sound, and that the female lecturer was probably upset because she didn't kill him at the first level.
But she also vaguely grasped some information from it, but she just ignored it, didn't look back, and left.
The female lecturer felt unhappy when she saw Liu Sheng's reaction. Her coldly smiling face was shrouded in darkness as the gate of Qingxu Hall closed as everyone left.
Liu Sheng left Qingxu Hall and saw a lonely figure walking down the jade steps not far away. It was the inner student who had just entered. It seemed that only one person came out alive.
That person, like them, was also soaked in blood, which dripped from under his clothes onto the white jade steps, like countless red plum blossoms blooming on the snow.
