Venerable Yuan

The mountain road winds like a stone dragon, entrenched alone between heaven and earth. The surrounding fog is surging, making it impossible to see through. Everything seems so mysterious and strange.

At this time, on the long mountain road, a figure was climbing slowly.

That figure was naturally Zhou Yuan who broke into the Trial Mountain Road.

At this moment, his face was pale and bloodless, and the Origin Qi surging around him had become extremely weak, because now only the last 300 of the original 4,000 Origin Qi stars in his Qi Mansion were left. …

Most of the Origin Qi that he had cultivated through many years of hard work had mysteriously disappeared.

Under the premise that it is impossible to tell whether this is reality or a fantasy, this situation is enough to make people feel frightened.

If it were someone with a weak mind, he would probably be too weak to walk on.

However, Zhou Yuan did not stop. He gritted his teeth and stared straight ahead. He had already come this far. If he backed down, would all his previous endurance be in vain?

"Three hundred Origin Qi stars, can you hold on to the end?"

Zhou Yuan pursed his lips tightly, but no matter what, when the Origin Qi is exhausted, there should be other changes.

With this thought in his mind, Zhou Yuan took another step.

A series of stone stairs, stepped under the feet.

In the Qi Mansion, the Origin Qi stars began to disappear one after another...

In just half a stick of incense, the last three hundred Origin Qi stars were finally coming to an end.

Zhou Yuan's footsteps stopped on a stone staircase, his face uncertain, because at this time in his Qi Mansion, the last Origin Qi star gradually became dim, and finally disappeared completely.

All the source energy in the body disappeared at this moment.

At that moment, a boundless weakness surged out of his body. Zhou Yuan had not felt that kind of weakness for many years...

Thinking back to when he couldn't open his eight meridians, his body was always filled with this feeling.

All the strength he had cultivated for many years was lost at this moment.

Zhou Yuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them. He turned around and looked at the long mountain road behind him. He was silent for a moment. At this time, he had a feeling.

If he walked back at this time, all the disappeared Origin Qi would come back.

However, in that case, he will undoubtedly fail in the mountain trial.

or…

Keep moving forward…

Zhou Yuan looked up at the mountain road ahead that still had no end. At this time, he had no Origin Qi, and because of the disappearance of the Origin Qi, his physical strength also showed signs of weakness.

If you continue to move forward, you will undoubtedly endure more. Will the Origin Qi come back by then? This cannot be determined.

After all, how to choose?

Zhou Yuan stood there and was silent for a long time, the hesitation in his eyes gradually fading away.

"No matter what is true or false in front of me, what can I do? When it was difficult to open my eight meridians, I never gave up. Even if the source energy really disappears, I will just cultivate it back!"

"Now, at least I still have the ability to practice."

"In those confused moments back then, I waited for the dawn. Why should these things defeat me now?"

Zhou Yuan's eyes showed a look of determination, and then, without a trace of hesitation, he raised his slightly heavy steps again, and then stepped down steadily.

Even if there is no Origin Qi, it is impossible for him to give up!

The path of cultivation requires the courage to move forward. If you are timid, it will be difficult to achieve success on this path of cultivation.

Only when the mind is persistent can something be achieved.

On the mountain road, Zhou Yuan's figure slowly climbed up again. Although the pace was heavy, his eyes began to become brighter, and there was no hesitation and fear before.

What replaced him was his unwavering perseverance.

His steps were taken step by step, even if every step he took was as heavy as a mountain.

When Zhou Yuan took difficult steps step by step, he did not notice that behind, on the ancient stone path, a bright light suddenly burst out at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, the stone staircases began to disappear, turning into wisps of golden light rising into the sky.

Countless golden lights danced between the sky and the earth behind, and finally caught up with the slowly climbing figure at the front, rushing into his body one after another.

Zhou Yuan's body shook violently.

He finally felt something, turned around suddenly, and saw the golden light flying all over the sky, like birds flying into the forest, all of them disappeared into his body.

In the Qi Mansion, the Origin Qi stars that originally disappeared began to appear one by one, emitting bright and bright light.

The powerful Origin Qi once again filled the limbs and bones.

That power is finally back!

A look of energy bloomed on Zhou Yuan's face, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He finally understood that this mountain road tests one's character.

Normal people would definitely feel panic and fear if they lost the Origin Qi they had worked hard to cultivate for many years. Even Zhou Yuan was not an exception to this.

But, faced with this situation, what choice should we make?

Should we give up and move forward, be cautious and conservative, or should we keep moving forward?

On the road to true strength, origin energy is not the most important. What is important is one's own character and perseverance. When one possesses the latter, the former will naturally return again.

Although the disappearance of Origin Qi this time was short-lived, for him, it was an unforgettable ordeal.

Zhou Yuan's eyes were slightly closed, and the long stone path behind him gradually disappeared. Countless golden lights danced and poured into his body. After a long time, they finally subsided.

When all the golden light entered the body, Zhou Yuan felt a slight sensation, and then suddenly opened his eyes, with surprise revealed in his eyes.

Because in the Qi Mansion, the number of shining Source Qi stars suddenly increased to 5,000 at this moment!

Moreover, every Origin Qi star is so bright and stable, and is not made in a hurry.

In such a short period of time, a thousand Origin Qi stars grew!

This is basically equivalent to Zhou Yuan’s hard work for more than a month!

Apparently, this is some of the rewards of passing this trail.

The smile on Zhou Yuan's lips became brighter and brighter, and the previous pain and shock were not in vain.

The mist filling the world began to fluctuate, and the indifferent voice belonging to Mr. Xuan resounded again.

"There are three levels of trial. Pass the first level."

Just when the sound fell, Zhou Yuan discovered that the long stone path under his feet began to disappear, and the surrounding world also gradually changed.

He stood there, not panicking, but waiting for the change to be completed.

Zhou Yuan raised his head and stared at the distorted world in front of him. It turned out that this was the first level of the mountain trial. It was really dangerous and strange. No wonder so many chief disciples could not pass it.

However, the first level is so difficult, so what about the next two levels?

In Zhou Yuan's state of concentration and alert, the changes between heaven and earth were finally completed.

The environment around him also experienced earth-shaking changes once again.
