Chapter 248: Bandits? Robbers! Girl
Half a month later, Gongsun Ce's physique finally reached the level of immortality.

He felt as if his body had been reborn, filled with endless strength and vitality.

He waved his hand lightly, and there seemed to be a crisp sound of breaking through the air.

Gongsun Ce stood up and pressed his palm lightly on the ground. The ground cracked instantly under his palm, as if it was cut by an invisible sharp blade.

Seeing this, he restrained his strength and slowly stood up. He knew that he had successfully broken through to the true immortal realm.

Gongsun Ce, who had successfully broken through, stretched his muscles and bones, feeling his strong physique, and slowly exhaled a breath.

Gongsun Ce noticed that the Master and Li Manman were looking towards Chang'an, as if they were watching something.

"What are you two looking at?" Gongsun Ce asked via voice transmission.

"The academy is conducting a test for the master to accept disciples. Mr. Gongsun may want to take a look with us." Li Manman replied to Gongsun Ce without even turning his head.

Gongsun Ce touched his chin and directed his mental power towards the academy, which was very lively at this time.

Because of the Master's message, the entire Ever Night world knew that this was the last time the Master would accept a disciple, so everyone in the Ever Night world who wanted to become the Master's disciple came to the academy to prepare to take the assessment.

In addition to the students of the academy, Gongsun Ce also saw monks from Yuelun Kingdom, talisman masters from Dahe Kingdom, and swordsmen from Southern Jin...

It can only be said that it is very lively, but there are not many people who have the perseverance to overcome all difficulties just to become the master's apprentice. Most of them just want to try their luck.

If they are lucky enough, they can become the Master's thirteenth disciple and the Thirteenth Master of the academy.

Compared with their original identities, Mr. Thirteen's identity is higher, which is no less than ascending to heaven in one step.

The Master naturally knew this, so all his twelve disciples participated in arranging the test.

This test is to climb a mountain. The second floor of the academy is the back mountain of the academy, which is where the master and his disciples live.

A group of the Master's disciples had already set up a formation on the mountain trail.

When you first climb the mountain, there will be fog, followed by gravel that hurts your feet, then nails that pierce your feet, and then huge rocks that roll down.

The second to last test was the wooden door that Gongsun Ce saw when he went to the back mountain of the academy.

Finally, he faced the illusion of the Master and Eternal Night, and under such pressure, he took the gourd from the big tree behind the wooden door.

It can be said that those who can make it to the end are the best among men.

The fog was like a dream, covering the entire mountain road, making it impossible to see the road ahead clearly.

Sometimes it is as thick as ink, sometimes it is as thin as smoke, as if it has its own will, constantly changing its shape.

In this fog, climbers seem to be in a mysterious world and can only grope forward by feeling.

Not only that, there is also a strange sense of oppression in this fog.

It seems to have life, constantly squeezing people's bodies and minds.

Many people feel suffocated and unable to bear this oppression, so they have to stop and give up moving forward.

Many people even fainted on the way and could only wait for the academy's paramedics to carry them away for treatment.

Among the crowd, only two people stood out the most. One was Longqing, who was far ahead. He was the prince of Yan State, who practiced in the Xiling Temple. He was extremely talented and was known as the Son of Light.

He was also the hope for the revival of the Yan Kingdom. The Yan Kingdom where he lived was destroyed by the Tang Kingdom in the early years, so Longqing's brother Chongming was sent to the Tang Kingdom as a hostage.

At this moment, Chongming was at the foot of the mountain and watching Longqing move forward with Princess Tang.

Another conspicuous person was Ning Que. His cultivation was the lowest, and he started the latest, so he fell behind the crowd.

When Ning Que stepped into the fog, he also felt that strange sense of oppression.

His body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and he could not move freely.

But his eyes were extremely determined, he knew that he could not give up, only by persisting could he become the Master's apprentice, gain a high status, and then complete his revenge.

He had many enemies, but most of them had been killed by him. Only the previous Great Priest of Light of Xiling, Wei Guangming, and the great general of the Tang Kingdom, Xiahou, were still alive.

However, Ning Que already knew that Xiahou was still his enemy.

However, Xiahou was a general of the Tang State and the brother of Tang King's Queen Xia Tian, ​​which meant that if Ning Que did not have sufficient status, everyone in the Tang State would stop him from seeking revenge.

Moreover, Xiahou is at the pinnacle of martial arts in the Ever Night world, which is equivalent to the realm of knowing destiny. That is to say, if Ning Que does not have enough power, he will not be able to complete his revenge.

So Ning Que still needs a famous teacher to guide him.

On the whole, becoming the Master's disciple is Ning Que's best springboard for revenge.

So, Ning Que took a deep breath, suppressed the fear and uneasiness in his heart, and began to move forward step by step.

Although his steps were slow and heavy, they were extremely firm.

As time went on, more and more people began to feel that they could not bear this oppression, and they stopped and chose to give up.

However, Ning Que persisted. His face was covered with sweat, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

He walked past those who had fallen down and given up, and kept moving forward with determination.

Gongsun Ce couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Ning Que's persistence. If he had the same hellish start as Ning Que, he might not have done better than Ning Que.

However, this was not a reason for Gongsun Ce to give up persecuting him.

"Everyone." Gongsun Ce's voice soon rang out from the back of the academy, "Since this is an assessment, why not let me add fuel to the fire."

This group of disciples who were eager to watch the fun had no reason to refuse Gongsun Ce's request.

"Please, Mr. Gongsun, let go and do what you want."*11
"Thank you." Gongsun Ce nodded, then looked at the teacher. The teacher smiled and did not refuse.

Then Gongsun Ce raised his hand and mobilized his mental power, using the sixth realm of Buddhism, the boundless realm, to forcefully mobilize the power of the earth above the mountain behind the academy.

Soon, several huge rocks condensed out of thin air and scattered on the mountain road.

The huge array of blocks that Gongsun Ce had caught a glimpse of at the Demon Sect's mountain gate was now condensing on the mountain road.

As the morning light gradually brightened, the originally bustling crowd on the mountain road had been reduced by half.

Those who were eliminated by the fog were either taken down the mountain to heal their wounds, or chose to leave quietly, their eyes filled with regret and unwillingness.

However, for those practitioners who still insist on staying on the mountain road, the challenge has just begun.

As these practitioners continued to move up the mountain, they suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure coming from all around.

The pressure seemed to spread from their chests, making them feel suffocated.

They tried to take deep breaths, but each breath became more difficult, as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts, preventing them from breathing smoothly.

If you feel something on your mind, you will feel unfair.

As they continued on, the feeling grew stronger.

Their steps began to become heavy, and each step seemed to require tremendous effort.

Their faces gradually turned pale and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on their foreheads.

However, they did not give up, as they knew that only by persisting could they successfully become disciples and achieve success.

However, not everyone can bear this kind of pressure.

Another half of the people chose to give up under this pressure.

They either collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Or they hold onto trees by the roadside, eyes filled with despair.

At this moment, the number of people climbing the mountain is less than a quarter of the total number of people going up the mountain.

However, for those practitioners who still insist on staying on the mountain road, their eyes are full of determination and perseverance.

They know that only by going through such tests can they prove their strength and determination and change their fate.

They gritted their teeth and moved forward.

Among this group of people, Ning Que and Long Qing are the two most outstanding ones.

Instead of being defeated by the pressure, they became more determined and calm.

Long Qing took a deep breath, closed his eyes and felt the air around him.

He discovered that this kind of pressure was not completely unbearable. On the contrary, as long as one's mind was strong enough, he could alleviate this feeling of suffocation.

Ning Que, on the other hand, moved forward stubbornly. He did not feel that the Block Array would change due to his personal temperament. He only knew that he had to succeed.

With this stubbornness, Ning Que quickly caught up with the others and followed closely behind Long Qing.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce's eyes swept over Sangsang who was climbing the mountain on the other side.

Sangsang raised her head and met Gongsun Ce's gaze. The next moment, Sangsang said to Gongsun Ce: "I found you, outsider."

Gongsun Ce was silent for a moment, then said in a voice transmission: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Haotian."

The teacher next to Gongsun Ce also had a slight change in his eyes at this moment. He did not expect Haotian to reveal his cards at this time.

Haotian has not found his master yet, but he chooses to reveal his true identity for Gongsun Ce, which seems very unwise.

But if you think about it, Master is still in Ever Night's world, he can't run away. But Gongsun Ce does have the ability to run away at any time.

Haotian even felt that Gongsun Ce had the same nature as him.

Haotian is the agent of heaven in the Ever Night world, while Gongsun Ce is the agent of heaven in the Qin world.

Gongsun Ce took a step forward and stood in front of Sangsang. Seeing this, Haotian immediately controlled Sangsang to raise the big black umbrella. When the big black umbrella rotated, darkness enveloped Gongsun Ce.

The Master watched Sangsang raise the big black umbrella, and then Gongsun Ce disappeared, but Sangsang just stood there in a daze without any reaction.

The master then patted Li Manman, and Li Manman understood. So Li Manman used the Wuju Divine Power to come to Sangsang to protect him.

The moment Gongsun Ce stepped into the dark space inside the big black umbrella, it was as if he had stepped into a world of another dimension.

Gongsun Ce stood still, his eyes as bright as torches. Even in the darkness, it could not affect his senses.

Suddenly, he felt the chill coming from Haotian Goddess. The chill was freezing and biting, carrying the power to annihilate everything. It was a sudden sneak attack from Haotian Goddess.

However, Gongsun Ce was not afraid at all. He also mobilized the cold air of annihilation in his body to face the chill.

The two cold air met in the darkness and instantly erupted with astonishing momentum.

However, surprisingly, the space inside the Big Black Umbrella did not collapse, and remained stable. The Big Black Umbrella was originally a piece of darkness torn down from the endless darkness when the Heavenly Goddess Haotian descended to the mortal world, so the stronger the holder, the more stable the space inside the Big Black Umbrella.

Haotian Tiannv was hiding in the darkness with a stern expression. She looked at Gongsun Ce with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Haotian Tiannv knew that the person she was facing was no ordinary person.

She no longer hesitated, walked out of the darkness, and released her own Haotian divine light. In an instant, the entire dark world seemed to brighten for a moment, and then only the body of Haotian Goddess was filled with light.

At this moment, Haotian Tiannv decisively opened her own domain of law.

The Dharma Realm was like a huge domain, surrounding Gongsun Ce, controlling and restraining all Dharmas.

She wanted to use this domain of law to block Gongsun Ce's retreat, and it would be best if she could control him directly.

However, Gongsun Ce did not do as she wished. He looked up to the sky and howled, the sound shook the whole area.

His physique suddenly burst out with dazzling light. It was the physique of the immortal realm, strong and tough.

He resisted the magic domain of Haotian Goddess with his own physique, and withstood the expansion of the magic domain.

Seeing this, Haotian Tiannv looked even more solemn. She found that her greatest reliance, the Law Domain, could not harm Gongsun Ce.

This shocked her and made her more alert. She knew very well that Gongsun Ce was an opponent that could not be underestimated.

Therefore, Haotian Tiannv decided to use another trump card - time acceleration.

She enveloped Gongsun Ce with the law of time, trying to speed up his time and make him disappear in the torrent of time.

However, she did not expect that Gongsun Ce's immortal body could actually resist the erosion of the law of time.

Gongsun Ce felt time accelerating, but he did not feel fear.

On the contrary, he felt an unprecedented peace. He seemed to be in a long time, watching his path of cultivation unfold bit by bit.

He found that although his cultivation speed was fast, it lacked some stability.

The time acceleration of Haotian Tiannv gave him a chance to calm down.

As time accelerated, Gongsun Ce's path of cultivation seemed to be lengthened countless times.

He went through countless hardships and tests, each of which made him more determined in his beliefs.

His physique became tougher and more immortal under the baptism of time, and his cultivation was also sublimated with the precipitation of time.

As Haotian Tiannv watched Gongsun Ce gradually become stronger as time accelerated, she couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

She found that she could no longer control the rhythm of the battle.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce felt the opportunity for a breakthrough and prepared to make an attack towards the supreme realm of harmony between man and nature.

Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, and countless words began to spread around his body.

Those words were one of the things he relied on for his practice - nature is not important.

Regardless of nature, it is his understanding of human nature, a theory based on the theory of human nature being good or evil.

At this moment, he condensed these words into his body, as if he was wearing a layer of mysterious armor.

As the sexual energy condensed, a sense of nothingness spread from Gongsun Ce's body.

This air of nothingness seemed to be able to devour all tangible objects, enveloping Gongsun Ce's figure.

At the same time, a huge word "Ru" appeared above Gongsun Ce's head.

The word "Ru" symbolizes the core of Confucianism and represents that Gongsun Ce is pursuing the unity of man and nature based on Confucianism.

Gongsun Ce began to mobilize the true energy in his body and integrate Confucianism, Taoism and nature into one.

He felt that his connection with heaven and earth was becoming closer and closer, as if he had become a part of this world.

He closed his eyes and immersed himself in this wonderful state, allowing his cultivation to continue to rise.

However, just when Gongsun Ce was about to break through to the realm of unity between man and nature, Haotian Tiannv discovered that Gongsun Ce was breaking through.

Her face changed and she immediately took action to stop Gongsun Ce's breakthrough.

She knew that this was the place closest to the origin of Haotian. Once Gongsun Ce successfully broke through, he would definitely plunder the origin of darkness in front of him.

Before, when Xunzi broke through, he viciously dug out a piece from Haotian's origin. Although it was not much, it was enough for Haotian to feel distressed.

If Gongsun Ce took away part of her origin at this moment, Haotian Tiannv believed that she might be so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

Therefore, she must stop Gongsun Ce as soon as possible.

However, Haotian Tiannv's attack failed to achieve its desired effect.

When her attack touched Gongsun Ce's body, it seemed to pass through a layer of void space.

During Gongsun Ce's breakthrough, the power of nothingness blurred his figure, making it impossible for Haotian Tiannv's attack to directly hurt him.

Haotian Tiannv was shocked when she saw this. She didn't expect Gongsun Ce to have such means.

She wanted to attack again, but it was too late. Gongsun Ce had already completed the breakthrough, and the state of unity between man and nature had descended upon him.

During the breakthrough process, Gongsun Ce seemed to have merged into one with the entire world.

He felt the endless energy and laws between heaven and earth, and also felt the close connection between himself and heaven and earth.

He felt as if he had turned into a beam of light, crossing the boundaries of time and space, and coexisting and prospering with all things.

At the same time, the sound of reading that transcends time and space surrounds Gongsun Ce's body.

The sounds of reading are a testimony to his years of practice and a mark of his pursuit of the true meaning of Confucianism.

At this moment, the sounds of reading echoed with Gongsun Ce's cultivation, and together they constituted his state of unity between man and nature.

Haotian Tiannv looked at the scene after Gongsun Ce's breakthrough and felt helpless.

Gongsun Ce began to absorb the darkness in front of him at this moment. The darkness was part of Haotian's origin.

At this moment, this part of the origin appeared in front of Gongsun Ce, and Gongsun Ce naturally would not let it go.

At the same time, the Qin world transferred part of its origin to Gongsun Ce through a contract with Gongsun Ce.

The Heavenly Dao of the Qin world also understood the origin of Haotian through Gongsun Ce.

Above Xianyang, the tranquil night sky was suddenly broken by a huge figure.

The figure standing in the clouds, emitting dazzling light all over his body, was Gongsun Ce.

At this moment, he has successfully broken through the realm of unity between man and nature, and is preparing to take the last step to absorb the origin of heaven and earth.

Gongsun Ce’s figure continued to grow in the void, as if he was going to cover the entire Xianyang city in his light.

His figure gradually became blurred, but the powerful aura became clearer and clearer.

As his breakthrough progressed, his figure even penetrated the boundaries of Xianyang City and spread to the entire world.

Donghuang Taiyi, Guiguzi and Beimingzi were looking up at the sky.

Their eyes were full of envy and expectation. As masters who had practiced for many years, they had always been pursuing the state of harmony between man and nature, but they had never been able to achieve their wish.

At this moment, they saw Gongsun Ce's breakthrough, and they couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in their hearts.

"The Lord has broken through the realm of unity between man and nature so quickly!" Donghuang Taiyi murmured to himself in the restored Star Palace, his voice full of shock and admiration.

Even if Gongsun Ce did not control Donghuang Taiyi at this moment, Donghuang Taiyi would probably bow down in order to break through the realm of unity between man and nature.

Donghuang Taiyi's gaze turned to the Fire Department. In his opinion, the new Grand Sima was a very good gift for Gongsun Ce.

"I have been searching for it for so many years, but I didn't expect that he would be the first to achieve it." Guiguzi sighed.

For Guiguzi, the inheritance had already been given to Wei Zhuang, so his only goal was to break through the realm of unity between man and nature, but he did not expect that Gongsun Ce would take the lead.

Bei Mingzi and Xiao Meng looked at Gongsun Ce's figure high in the sky, each with different thoughts.

Bei Mingzi was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "This may be God's will. General Gongsun's understanding, perseverance and opportunity have all reached the extreme, which is why he can achieve this."

"Okay, Master. It's better to say less words to comfort yourself." Xiao Meng couldn't help but irritate Bei Mingzi's injured heart.

Bei Mingzi sighed softly, then closed his eyes and continued to comprehend the cultivation methods of the Ever Night world.

He is still in the initial stage of acquaintance, but judging from his telekinesis alone, he does not seem to be in the initial stage of acquaintance.

In the Qin world, more and more people began to notice the strange phenomena in the sky.

They looked up and saw a huge figure standing in the clouds, emitting dazzling light.

At the same time, a deep and mysterious chanting sound began to echo in the air. It was Gongsun Ce chanting his Xingwushu.

"What is this?" someone asked curiously.

“I don’t know, but it sounds very profound,” the person next to him answered.

As more and more people began to pay attention to Gongsun Ce's breakthrough, the chanting became clearer and clearer.

The sound seems to have magic, making people immersed in it involuntarily.

People began to feel a powerful energy coming from the sky, as if the whole world became clear at this moment.

Gongsun Ce felt the gazes and expectations of countless people as he recited.

He understood that his breakthrough was not only for himself, but also for warriors all over the world. The state of unity between man and nature has been rare in the world for a long time.

Therefore, he recited the mantra even harder, passing on his insights and understanding to everyone.

As the chanting continued to echo, Gongsun Ce's realm began to become more and more stable.

He felt that his connection with the Qin world was becoming closer, and his identity as the agent of Heaven was becoming more solid.

He knew that this was the assistance of Heaven in the Qin world, and as the agent of Heaven, Gongsun Ce should have enough privileges.

Even though the origin of the Qin world is somewhat missing, the way of heaven in the Qin world will not be stingy. After all, Gongsun Ce has found a world suitable for him to plunder.

Gongsun Ce opened his eyes in the Ever Night world. The origin of the world in the big black umbrella had been completely absorbed by Gongsun Ce, and Haotian Tiannv could no longer maintain the dark space in front of him.
