The three of them separated from each other about a hundred feet away and followed her unhurriedly, neither too far nor too slow.
In fact, to Mo Tiange, who spread out her divine sense, this distance was equivalent to nothing. However, it was better than nothing. If she restrained her divine sense, the influence of her divine comprehension would be reduced.
Mo Tiange even looked forward to the second test.
If nothing unexpected happened, after this matter was over, she would enter Closed Door Meditation until she reached the peak stage of the Foundation Building realm and then try to advance to the Core Formation realm.
For cultivators like them who had never experienced the Core Formation realm before, the most frightening test was the Inner Demon.
If the Five Hindrances Overturning Senses in the second test were like Inner Demons, then she would have to experience a similar test before advancing to the Core Formation realm. At that time, she would have some experience and would know how to deal with it.
After the three of them walked for a while, Ye Jingwen asked quietly, "Why isn't there any movement?"
He used his divine sense to transmit his voice, so their surroundings were still quiet.
Mo Tiange also felt something was wrong. She frowned and thought for a while then asked, "Why is there no one else but us?"
Ye Jingwen was shocked. "That's right! Our speed in breaking the formation is considered fast, but after such a long time, shouldn't there be more people breaking the formation?"
Luo Fengxue pondered. "In the Foundation Building realm, the number of people who can pass the first test shouldn't be few, but it also shouldn't be too many. However, there really shouldn't be no one else but us …"
Luo Fengxue frowned for a long time then suddenly shouted, "Maybe we're already in the second test, the Five Hindrances Overturning Senses, so we can't sense the situation around us!"
Mo Tiange looked around and saw that they were already in the belly of the mountain. The surrounding rock walls were still the same as before, but the terrain was no longer the same as before. There was more soil, and there were many spiritual plants growing densely in the surroundings. She didn't know where the sunlight came from, but it illuminated everything.
Ye Jingwen unsheathed his flying sword and guarded his body. "Junior Martial Sister Luo, are you sure?
Is there any danger around us? "
Luo Fengxue carefully examined the situation around them then closed her eyes to ponder. In the end, she nodded cautiously. "It should be. Try to spread your divine sense. How far can you spread it?"
Mo Tiange and Ye Jingwen closed their eyes and spread their divine senses.
Not long after, the two of them wore grave expressions.
There was indeed a problem. Their divine senses could only extend several hundred feet before they could sense three people.
Luo Fengxue said, "It's starting. Let's guard our minds and stop affecting each other."
Even though the three of them were together, the other two would be affected if one of them made a mistake, so it was better for them to go their separate ways.
Since Luo Fengxue said that, neither Mo Tiange nor Ye Jingwen had any objections. They each looked for a place and prepared to experience the Five Hindrances Overturning Senses' test.
Mo Tiange laid a simple defensive formation around them then sat down cross-legged to guard against any mishaps.
Closing his eyes, he cut off all the surrounding sensations and shut off his Spiritual Sense, focusing only on his own Knowledge Sea.
The spiritual energy circulated naturally and calmed his mind.
Very quickly, she felt that she had entered a magical realm. Everything around her was far away, and it was as if she was in an empty field. The wind was rustling, the wind was gentle, and she was the only person in the world.
Mo Tiange also didn't expect that this time, she would actually enter the Divine Forgetting Selfless State so coincidentally.
The state of mind was a very mysterious topic.
Generally speaking, this kind of state of mind was very difficult to communicate with others. When teachers taught their disciples, they could only guide them slowly, but everyone's feelings were different, so in the end, they still had to rely on themselves.
The only way to cultivate one's state of mind was to see, hear, and see. Only by gaining some comprehension could one make progress — there was no other way.
Mo Tiange didn't think she'd experienced much in the more than twenty years she'd been traveling outside. Most of the time, she was trapped in Bixuan Court's Dao-Achieving Pagoda. In fact, the pressure Ren Yufeng felt inside the Dao-Achieving Pagoda was also a kind of state of mind cultivation.
Moreover, when she studied the notes Mo Yaoqing left behind in the pagoda, she saw Mo Yaoqing's life experiences, so this was also a state of mind cultivation.
When she arrived in the secular world, she went to Ye Clan to check on Second Uncle's situation. Then, she happened to enter Ziwei's Immortal's Cave and learned about Wanderer Ziwei's life as well as the ill-fated relationship between Yao Zixiu and Shang Ruwan. Then, she went to the northernmost glaciers and encountered Ren Yufeng's incident. Finally, she arrived at the Eastern Sea.
In these more than twenty years, Mo Tiange's state of mind had unknowingly reached a certain realm, so she easily entered the Divine Forgetfulness and Anatta state in this Five Hindrances Overturning Senses test, which was similar to an Inner Demon.
Mo Tiange didn't know how much time had passed, but in her hazy state, she seemed to have returned to the Mo Family's Village in Jin Country.
"Husband, do you really want to leave?"
Although she was dressed like a married woman, the woman's face still retained the childishness of a young girl. She looked at the man in front of her reluctantly.
This man was about thirty years old. Compared to his wife, he was indeed a bit older, but he was refined and had a calm demeanor. He had a mature charm that a young man in his early twenties didn't have.
He looked at his young wife and comforted her. "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."
"But …" The woman wanted to say something but stopped. She lowered her head and said nothing.
The man smiled gently. He took his wife's hand and placed it on her flat belly. "I'll try my best to rush back before the child is born. During this period of time, if you have any problems, just tell Sister-In-Law Awang. I've asked her to take care of you."
The woman was a bit shy. "Husband, you already know?"
"How could I not know?"
He stared at his wife's belly, which still couldn't be seen. There was an imperceptible gloomy look in his eyes. "… I hope this child can be safe and sound."
Several years later …
"Mother, why don't I have a father?" The little girl with bruises on her face asked her sickly and pale mother.
Her mother, who was gently applying medicine on her, stopped when she heard this question.
"Mother?"
The woman regained her composure and shook her head. "Don't listen to their nonsense. Your father went out to do something. He'll come back when he's done."
"But …" The little girl was confused. "Did Father go to a very, very far place?
He still hasn't come back? "
"En, very, very far …"
Therefore, she made a wish that day, hoping her father would come back soon. That way, no one would say she was a child without a father anymore.
Then …
"Tiange, Tiange!
Your father is back! "
That day was her birthday. Her mother cooked longevity noodles and fried a poached egg for her. She heard Auntie Awang's voice from next door.
A man walked in from outside the courtyard. He looked travel-worn, but he had a smile on his face.
Her father was exactly the same as her mother said. They were kind, gentle, and their smiles made her feel warm.
"Tiange, you're Tiange!" Her father lowered his body. "You've grown so big. I'm your father."
Her mother came out of the room with tears in her eyes.
Her father smiled, picked her up, and walked to her mother. "Wife, I'm back.
I'll take you away. "
* * *
Her wish came true. Everything was vague, as if she was dreaming. However, she saw her father's appearance, and her heart was full of joy.
This feeling of joy was real.
Her father took her mother and daughter back to Kunwu to teach her cultivation.
From the Aura Refining realm to the Foundation Building realm, her life was so smooth … She grew up, advanced to the Core Formation realm, and Ye Family didn't decline … Later, she met a man. They liked each other and became Dual Cultivation partners … Later, she advanced to the Nascent Soul realm and traveled unhindered in the Celestial Pole, unrivaled by anyone …
She had more and more things. No matter what she wanted, she would eventually get it — kinship, friendship, love, family, cultivation level, spiritual treasures … Finally, she entered the Deification realm and became a god-like existence in the world.
She stood at the top of the world, looking down at the world below her. Everything was in her hands, but she felt empty, as if she hadn't obtained anything.
She suddenly began to doubt whether everything was real or not. If it wasn't real, why did it feel so real? If it was real, why was everything in front of her always so blurry?
She liked this feeling of completeness too much. There wouldn't be any deep regrets in the depths of her heart that couldn't be buried no matter how hard she tried.
But … why did she feel empty, as if she hadn't obtained anything?
Suddenly, she felt a chill in her chest, waking her up from her beautiful dream.
Mo Tiange opened her eyes, feeling a lingering fear. She had entered a state of selflessness and guarded her heart, but she still fell into the trap. She really didn't know what would've happened to someone with an unstable state of mind.
She looked around and found five or six people sitting around her. Ye Jingwen and Luo Fengxue were also among them.
Sure enough, Luo Fengxue's guess was right. In fact, they entered the second test not long after they walked out, but she was still at a loss, so she couldn't see the surrounding scene.
This test made Mo Tiange realize that although she wasn't trapped in anger, obsession, slow-wittedness, and doubt, her greed was deeply buried in her heart.
She wanted to return to her childhood, find her father, and have a complete family. She also wanted to enter the cultivation world smoothly instead of wandering around for more than ten years. She wanted to have relatives, friends, and lovers. She wanted everything to be complete. She also wanted to succeed in her cultivation, advance to the Deification realm, and laugh proudly in the world … As it turned out, she was actually this greedy.
As it turned out, she never forgot these childhood regrets.
Ever since she came to Xuanqing School, her cultivation path had been very smooth, and she always thought she didn't have any other desires aside from the path of cultivation. As it turned out, she still had her greed suppressed in her subconscious.
Thinking up to this point, cold sweat broke out on Mo Tiange's forehead. If she hadn't entered this Ten Thousand Laws of Nature Formation this time, she wouldn't have realized there were flaws in her state of mind. If she tried to advance to the Core Formation realm like this, there would definitely be some twists and turns.
Fortunately, she happened to enter this Ten Thousand Laws of Nature Formation before she advanced to the Core Formation realm, so she realized the weakness of her state of mind.
In the following time, she definitely had to solve this greed before she could advance to the Core Formation realm.
After making up her mind, Mo Tiange closed her eyes again and continued to adjust her breath for a while. It was only after she regained her composure that she stood up and began to pick the spiritual plants around her.
What to do next was a bit difficult for her.
Ye Jingwen and Luo Fengxue were still here. From time to time, expressions of pain or happiness appeared on their faces. Obviously, they were still undergoing the test of the Five Hindrances Overturning Senses.
They originally agreed to take care of each other, but her current situation was a bit special. It wasn't like what Luo Fengxue said — after the second test, she wouldn't directly enter the third test.
If she stayed here, she didn't know what kind of illusion she'd have. What if she thought everyone around her was her enemy?
After a while, no one around her was clear-headed. Everyone was still going through their own mental test.
Mo Tiange thought for a while then stood up and continued to walk inside.
She had her doubts about whether she should stay or not, so she might as well do as she pleased.
Besides, there were a lot of spiritual plants here, so it would be good if she could pick some more.
As she walked and picked spiritual plants, she gradually walked further and further away. she gradually forgot where she was …
