Chapter 567: Helplessness and Shock
For a long time, although the ascetics in the Foundation Establishment Realm were able to use some of the most elementary spells, they never used spells as their main means of attack. The reason is very simple, it is because even the most elementary spells consume more real energy than a base-builder can afford. The true energy of the foundation-building practitioners is only enough to cast two or three spells if they are to replace mana to cast spells.
If it is said that the power of this spell is strong enough to tell the winner in an instant, even if it is worth paying all the true essence. However, they are all rudimentary spells, how much power can they expect? It's nothing more than throwing a fireball, shooting an ice spike, or letting a flash dazzle people's eyes. For such a spell, it is really not worth the loss to use up one's true energy.
However, on Yuqingzong's side, what Ye Zan taught these Foundation Establishment disciples was not just as simple as adding some ingredients to the fireball. If I had to make a generalization, what Ye Zan taught everyone in the lecture hall should be called "how to use spells more scientifically and rationally", and its fundamental purpose is how to obtain the maximum effect at the minimum cost.
You must know that the human body is actually very fragile, and some vital points do not require much strength at all, which is enough to cause fatal damage. Even the Yuanying Patriarch or even Yuanshen Almighty, if the physical body is attacked to the point, it will die, unless it is an indestructible golden body who has practiced Buddhism.
Therefore, some spells don't necessarily have to exert much power, but they can also cause serious harm to people. Still take the fireball technique as an example. If it is in a suitable environment, such as having enough combustibles and accelerants, then only a small flame can cause a large fire. For another example, creating a thin sheet of ice on the ground does not require much mana, but it may have a fatal effect on the opponent.
Of course, these things, in the eyes of some people in this world, inevitably seem a bit crooked. Two people compete, and the result is that one side throws lime and barbed wire. Although there is no rule against using these, it is still not decent after all, and winning is not dignified enough.
In fact, Ye Zan did not teach these disciples how to use spells specifically, but only talked about some relevant scientific knowledge, such as what is the pressure, what is the element of combustion, and so on. As for how to apply these things to spells, so that spells can exert miraculous effects on the enemy, these disciples can actually think about it themselves. Ye Zan's role is to impart this knowledge, then give these disciples certain guidance, and answer some questions after they have an idea.
Facts have proved that people in this world are not stupid, and many times they just lack a little inspiration. Moreover, these Foundation Establishment disciples have not been solidified by some concepts of this world, and it is the time when they have many whimsical ideas. The inspiration Ye Zan gave them, the little common sense of the technological world, is like a key to open the gate, allowing all kinds of strange ideas to pour out of the gate like a flood.
Just like Yu Leyang, relying on Ye Zan's knowledge, he made a musket by himself. Although other people did not create anything similar to technological products like him, they all had their own understanding and application direction. Looking at it now, it seems that this is just a small thing, and it seems that it is only suitable for the battle at the stage of foundation building, but in fact, it has already exerted a subtle influence on their understanding of the Dao in the future.
Back to Yu Qingzong, after seeing the performance of the inner disciples, everyone knew that their own disciples had also mastered some similar skills. They let go of all their worries about themselves.
They all agreed to let the personal disciples also participate in the ring competition.
Taiyizong and several other sects seem to be an unsolvable conspiracy against Yuqingzong. However, whether this conspiracy can be realized and whether it can achieve the effect they expected, there is a very important condition, that is, the strength of the disciples of the Yuqing Sect really meets the level of an ordinary second-rate sect. If it is said that Yu Qingzong's side is all elites, and their strength can be equal to the elites of Taiyizong and other sects, then their plan may be difficult to realize.
In fact, the difference in strength between cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm is not too great. Even in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment and the completion of Foundation Establishment, they may not be incapable of fighting. Of course, there are some genius disciples who have already comprehended the power of artistic conception in the foundation establishment stage, and the addition of artistic conception will greatly enhance their strength.
However, there are too few people who can truly comprehend and grasp the artistic conception perfectly, and because of the appearance of the Forest of Steles of Enlightenment in the False God Realm, the threshold for comprehending the artistic conception has also been lowered a lot. What's more, none of the disciples who came here to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference were carefully selected from various sects. So at least in this Dao Discussion Conference, it is almost impossible to kill the Quartet with a half-tone artistic conception when the foundation establishment level is about the same level of cultivation.
Tai Yizong's plan is that after uniting with other sects, it will be like a horse race. All the horses and horses and dismounts on his side will be better than Yu Qingzong's horses and horses. Qingzong has one head. At the same time, the number of mounted horses and dismounted horses was more than that of Yu Qingzong, so under the situation of suppression across the board, it would not be a problem for Yu Qingzong to fail.
According to the rules, the first challenge after becoming the champion must be accepted, otherwise giving up is tantamount to admitting defeat. However, after a challenge, the challenger can choose to continue to wait for the challenge in the arena, or leave the arena to challenge other challengers. So in theory, as long as the Taiyi Sect and other sects can always find a disciple of Yuqing who can win the challenge, they can make the disciples of Yuqingzong return the winner card they just got.
However, if Yu Qingzong's side is all at the level of high-quality horses, or most of them are at this level. If the Taiyi Sect and other sects can't get enough people to target the disciples of the Yu Qing Sect, how can the people on the side of the Yu Qing Sect not get enough winner cards?
The current situation is like this, these disciples of Yu Qingzong are not soft persimmons. You must know that, purely in terms of remuneration, Yuqing Sect is only a second-rate sect, but in terms of the treatment of apprentices, it can be said to be the best among all sects. Top-quality pills, spiritual rice, the False God Realm, and a quiet room equipped with inert spiritual energy activation devices. With the help of such resources, as long as the qualifications are not inferior to others, how can it be possible to be inferior in strength.
Now, with the things taught by Ye Zan again, no matter how much it will help them understand the Dao in the future, at least their current actual combat ability will be greatly improved.
Under such circumstances, it would not be easy for Taiyizong and several other sects to suppress Yuqingzong.
The disciples of Yuqingzong let go of their hands and feet, and challenged each other in various arenas, and then faced the challenges of disciples from other sects. Of course, on Yu Qingzong's side, not all of them were able to defend the ring, and there were also those who were knocked out of the ring, or those who saw the situation was not good and gave up directly. However, Tai Yizong and other sects, after carefully counting the ratio of winners and losers, and observing the performance of Yuqingzong's disciples, they already knew that 99% of this plan would be in vain.
"Otherwise, let the disciples..." Yuan Ying patriarch surnamed He of the Taiyi Sect, after secretly calculating the situation in his heart, asked True Monarch Qianmu for instructions with some worries. He made a ruthless gesture, wanting the disciples of the Taiyi Sect and the other sects to give the disciples of the Yuqing Sect a few ruthless blows, even if they didn't really abolish a few, at least they would not Ability to continue to compete.
However, when Qianmu Zhenjun heard this, he shook his head slowly and said: "It's fine if this kind of thing happens once or twice, but judging by Yu Qingzong's posture, it's probably just once or twice. It doesn't affect them."
Although it is said that swords have no eyes, there are always some accidents in the arena, but if there are too many accidents, it is impossible to use accidents as an excuse. As for the disciples of Yu Qingzong's side, not one or two were outstanding, and abolishing one or two would not help the matter at all.
"But Master, are we just watching their Yuqingzong people continue to be so arrogant? Looking at the performance of these disciples, if they are allowed to grow, Yuqingzong will definitely be a serious problem for our sect." He's Nascent Soul Patriarch said a little unwillingly.
"Let's look at it again. People who want to come to other sects will not be happy to see Yu Qingzong behave like this." Qianmu Zhenjun was a little helpless. After all, everyone is an orthodox sect, and some things still cannot be done too obviously. . Apart from finding out some crimes such as collusion with the devil, if Tai Yizong really wanted to deal with Yu Qingzong without any scruples, the consequences would definitely not be acceptable to Tai Yizong.
Fortunately, the disciples of the Yuqing Sect did not behave abnormally, and they would not really crush all the disciples of each sect. If in the end, Guangyu Qingzong's disciples accounted for more than half of the disciples who entered the main competition, and the other sects' disciples were very few, then it would really make people feel ashamed.
At this time, another Yuanying Patriarch of the Taiyi Sect came to the Qianmu Zhenjun not far away. However, this Yuanying patriarch still looks quite young from the appearance, and obviously has extraordinary aptitude.
"Greetings Master!" After the Yuanying Patriarch approached, he first saluted Qianmu Zhenjun, and then greeted the Yuanying Patriarch next to him with the surname He, and said, "Master He also Yes."
"Oh, it's Yuchen, why didn't you look at your disciple? What's the matter here?" Zhenjun Qianmu asked with a very friendly tone with a smile on his face.
This person's surname is Lu and his name is Yuchen. He stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm before he was fifty years old, and he is a well-known genius in the Taiyi School. Don't think that fifty years old is nothing special, you must know that most ascetics probably have just stepped into the Golden Core Realm at this age, so for Yuanying Patriarch, fifty years old is still very young. Moreover, this Lu Yuchen is now a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. In fact, he had already stepped into the Nascent Soul realm ten years ago.
With Lu Yuchen's qualifications, he can be called a genius in the entire Shenhua Domain.
"Master, this disciple saw someone on the other side of the ring just now." Lu Yuchen still had a bit of doubt on his face, as if he wasn't quite sure if he was wrong.
Seeing the disciple's expression, Master Qianmu couldn't help being a little curious, and asked, "Oh, who would surprise you so much?"
"Among the crowd of Yu Qingzong, my disciple saw a person who seemed to be very similar to Qi Qianjun back then. It's just that the other party not only has healthy limbs, but also has a cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm, so he felt a little unlikely, so he wanted to invite him. Master uses his supernatural powers to confirm the identity of the other party." Lu Yuchen frowned and said in a very uncertain tone.
But hearing Lu Yuchen's words, Qianmu Zhenjun didn't react yet, but Yuanying Patriarch surnamed He next to him had already shouted: "Impossible, how could Qi Qianjun recover from what he ended up like back then? Nephew Lu must have read it wrong."
What happened to Qi Qianjun back then is well known in the entire northwest region. Everyone knows that Yu Qingzong had a genius disciple who had his limbs cut off by Mo Dao, his tongue was cut out and his eyes were gouged out, and even his eardrums were pierced. With the ability of this world, Qi Qianjun's injuries like those in the past, unless there is a fairy to take action, otherwise, even some elixir of living flesh and bones may not be able to restore him.
Therefore, upon hearing Lu Yuchen's words, the Yuanying ancestor surnamed He instinctively thought that Lu Yuchen must have read it wrong. What's more, Lu Yuchen himself is indeed not sure about what he said, after all, Qi Qianjun today has greatly changed in appearance and temperament compared to back then.
There were not a few people who met Qi Qianjun back then, from various sects and sects. After all, Yu Qingzong also participated in the last Dao Discussion Conference. However, why Qi Qianjun appeared in front of everyone again this time, but no one connected him with Qi Qianjun before, it was because of this reason.
However, True Monarch Qianmu did not immediately deny Lu Yuchen's words, but raised his eyes to look at the people of Yu Qingzong, and there was a faint light flowing in his eyes. The reason why this Qianmu Zhenjun is called Qianmu is not because he has a thousand eyes, but because it is this pair of eyes that he cultivates. His pair of eyes have the ability to see through illusions, and can turn his gaze into sword light, beheading the enemy's body and soul.
"Hiss!" Qianmu Zhenjun glanced over, suddenly took a breath, and said in a surprised voice: "How is it possible!"
Seeing Zhenjun Qianmu's reaction, there is no need for him to say any more answers. Lu Yuchen and Yuanying Patriarch surnamed He already know what the answer is. They can doubt whether they see it wrong, but they will never doubt whether Qianmu Zhenjun is wrong, after all, Qianmu Zhenjun's whole body of practice is in these eyes. !!
