Chapter 1166 3 treasures confuse the heart
As Qin Yu's gaze returned to the altar, three of the soul lamps in front of him went out, indicating that he had passed the first level of the illusion test.
A cool breeze blew past, and the three lights flickered slowly. The blood-red altar under Qin Yu's feet suddenly twisted and deformed, turning into a triangular stone platform suspended in the void.
Three demon pillars pierced out from the void, and a treasure was suspended on the top of each pillar, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
The three treasures are a book, a knife and a stone tablet.
The book cover is made of human skin. When the pages are turned, the sobs of the dead can be heard. When the cover is opened, the smiles of loved ones can even emerge.
"Rebirth Sutra": Possesses the power to bring the dead back to life, and can revive the loved ones who have passed away
Qin Yu turned his attention to the second treasure - a sword with an ancient shape.
The blade is three feet and seven inches long, dark red as if forged from coagulated blood, the blade is winding like a snake, and fine drops of blood are constantly oozing out of the edge of the blade. Every drop that falls corrodes a dark hole in the void.
Seven chains were wrapped around the blade, and at the end of the chains were seven heads of the Heavenly Masters that were still dripping with blood!
"Emperor-killing Blade": He who kills the emperor is the true emperor!
This is the weapon held by the Demon Emperor back then, which can kill all the strong men in the world!
Finally, Qin Yu looked at the stone tablet - "Chaos Tablet"
The monument is nine feet and nine inches high, and is carved from black jade, but its surface is filled with mercury-like galaxies.
Those stars are not dead objects, but miniature universes that are constantly collapsing and reborn, playing out the cycle of creation on the monument every second.
When Qin Yu's eyes swept across the stele, the stars suddenly reorganized rapidly, transforming into rows of flickering Dao patterns - this stele gathered the roots of all laws, and was transformed by the Dao of Heaven.
"With it, you can comprehend all the principles of the world and truly reach the ultimate state!"
Faced with the three treasures, Qin Yu's breathing stagnated. The temptation of each treasure was extremely great!
In order to further stimulate Qin Yu's heart, the Rebirth Sutra suddenly moved without wind, making a slight rustling sound like sobbing.
When Qin Yu's eyes fell on it, a crack suddenly appeared on the spine of the book, and a wisp of green smoke rose up, condensing in the air into a series of familiar faces.
"Feather"
The voices of his father and mother were as gentle as his childhood memories. Qin Yu's heart suddenly contracted, and his right hand stretched forward uncontrollably.
He could smell the faint scent of medicine on his mother's body - that was the scent of medicine she fed to him when he was a sickly child, and it was also the warmest smell in his memory.
"Just open the title page," a bewitching voice echoed in his mind, "you can let them stand in the sun again."
Qin Yu's fingertips were only three inches away from the scripture, but he froze at the last moment. As the pages turned, he could vaguely see countless distorted faces struggling on the paper, screaming silently.
"The cycle of life and death cannot be broken." Qin Yu's throat tightened a little, "This is not resurrection, this is blasphemy..."
He pulled his hand back abruptly, his nails digging deep into his palm. The pain sobered him up a bit, but the pain in his chest almost overwhelmed him. "Rest in peace, my parents."
Although he had never returned home, Qin Yu understood that Master Qin and Madam Qin, as mortals, had already exhausted their lifespans.
Qin Yu closed his eyes and suppressed his surging emotions. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze turned to the dark red Emperor-killing Blade in the center.
The seven chains wrapped around the blade suddenly made a clanging sound, and the seven heads of the gods opened their empty eyes at the same time.
Qin Yu's eyes met the head in the middle, and in an instant, he seemed to be pulled into a bloody world.
He saw himself holding the Emperor-killing Blade, standing on top of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, stepping on the powerful enemy he once had to look up to.
The blade emits a joyful hum after drinking blood, and every swing changes the color of the sky and earth.
"Whoever holds this blade shall be the emperor of all realms." The heads on the chains whispered in unison, their dry lips opening and closing to reveal their white teeth.
Qin Yu's right hand began to tremble uncontrollably, and the spiritual power in his body boiled along with the pulsation of the blade.
He could feel that as long as he held this magic blade, all the powerful enemies who threatened him would no longer exist.
But just as his mind was wavering, the seven heads suddenly screamed at the same time, and black blood gushed out of their eye sockets, dripping onto Qin Yu's feet, corroding into wisps of green smoke.
"What's the price?" Qin Yu suddenly asked, his voice hoarse and not like his own
The chains trembled violently, and the expressions of the heads became ferocious: "Your Dao heart! Your soul! Every bit of strength needs to be exchanged with an equal amount of self!"
Qin Yu staggered back a step, cold sweat on his forehead
He suddenly understood why those heads had expressions of fear—they were all poor creatures devoured by their own desires when they were alive.
The Emperor's Blade can indeed kill all powerful enemies, but the first thing it cuts off is the connection between the wielder and his original intention.
"My path does not require shortcuts." Qin Yu forced himself to look away and turned to the last Chaos Monument. The galaxy flowing on the monument immediately attracted all his attention.
The scenes of the birth and death of those microcosms contain the purest truth of the Tao. Every flickering point of light is a complete chain of laws.
Qin Yu only watched for three breaths, and he felt that the training problem that had troubled him for many years had shown signs of a breakthrough.
What's even more terrifying is that he vaguely saw the "ultimate" answer hidden deep in the inscription - that is the secret that all warriors dream of.
"Comprehend me, and you will become the Heavenly Dao itself." These words appeared on the surface of the stone tablet, and every stroke made Qin Yu's soul tremble.
His consciousness involuntarily extended to the surface of the stele, like a desert traveler rushing towards a clear spring in a mirage.
At this moment, Qin Yu felt that he had touched the essence of the world. Countless profound insights poured into his sea of consciousness like a torrent. This pleasure far exceeded any elixir or adventure, and he almost indulged in it...
"wrong!"
A thought like thunder suddenly split the fog. Qin Yu bit his tongue fiercely. The smell of blood made him regain clarity for a moment.
He saw that his spiritual consciousness was being slowly devoured by the stele. With each absorption, his self-awareness became more blurred.
This is not comprehension, but assimilation - just like a drop of water merging into the sea, although it gains vastness, it loses itself forever, and he will also become a pattern on the stone tablet!
The three treasures simultaneously emitted a seductive hum, forming an invisible vortex around Qin Yu.
More faces of relatives appeared between the pages of the Rebirth Sutra; the chains of the Emperor Killer Blade swam towards his feet like a venomous snake; the galaxy on the Chaos Monument spun faster and faster, forming a breathtaking vortex.
Each temptation targets the most vulnerable part of human nature, tearing at his heart.
Qin Yu's knees slammed heavily on the stone platform, and blood oozed out of all his orifices.
There were huge waves in his soul, and three completely different desires were tearing at his sanity: the longing to resurrect his loved ones, the ambition to destroy powerful enemies, and the thirst for knowledge to comprehend the way of heaven. Each one was so justified and so irresistible!
"So...is this the second test?"
