Chapter 381 The Way of Gains and Losses, the Body of Tai Sui
The match between Xuanshui Taoist Academy and Lihuo Taoist Academy is already one of the last two matches of the Taoist Academy Competition.
The game ends today, and the winner will challenge the previous champion, Qinghe Daoyuan.
Even though it was only the penultimate game.
But most people basically feel that there is no suspense about the outcome of today's game.
Is Xuanshui Taoist Temple strong?
Being able to defeat Tianjiu Daoyuan, which also has the combat power of the golden elixir stage.
There is no doubt about the strength of Xuanshui Taoist Temple.
But things like strength and weakness have always been relative.
Xuanshui Taoist Temple is strong, but that is against other Taoist temples.
For the current Lihuo Taoist Temple.
The strength of Xuanshui Taoist Academy is just that.
Otherwise, why would Lu Chen be the only one left in Lihuo Taoist Temple while the others went home directly.
Isn't it because they are so arrogant that they think they can defeat the entire Xuanshui Taoist Academy just by relying on Lu Chen alone?
For those who don't know the inside story, this is their judgment on the current situation of Lihuo Taoist Academy.
And this speculation is actually half correct.
That is, Lihuo Taoist Academy really felt that relying on Lu Chen alone, he could defeat the entire Xuanshui Taoist Academy.
The only difference is that the reason why Lihuo Daoyuan left is different from what everyone thinks.
And because Lu Chen 'destroyed' the dojo on the first floor of the Great Wilderness Tower last time.
As a result, the venue for this Taoist competition was changed to another place.
That is, the other floors in the Great Wilderness Tower.
Normal spectators did not pay much attention to this small change.
I didn't feel anything was wrong.
But for some concerned people, this move of the Great Wilderness Tower made them vigilant.
It's just that they have an arrow on the string right now and have to take action.
After missing this time, if they want to find such a good opportunity again, they don't know that they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Therefore, in the bustling dojo, some people began to do something quietly.
What they didn't find was.
This new dojo looks the same as the previous dojo.
But there is one biggest difference.
That is the dojo where they are currently, and there are many hidden Sumeru spaces around it.
Many people think that the spatial arrangement in the Great Wilderness Tower is similar to the structure of a stack of Arhats.
But in fact, the Great Wilderness Tower is one of the several landmark buildings of the Immortal League.
How could its internal structure be so simple?
The entire Great Wilderness Tower can actually be divided into three parts.
The first part is the location of the early stage of the Taoist Competition.
The spatial structure there is indeed like a stack of Arhats.
But this ‘Arhat’ is only in the same space.
The second part is the underground prison part.
The spatial layout of this part is similar to the surface of the Great Wilderness Tower, both of which are located in the real world space.
The third part is the real core of the Great Wilderness Tower.
This is the place where the Great Wilderness Tower is used to imprison those demons and evil cultivators in the transformation stage.
This place is a separate space.
It can be regarded as an alternative kind of paradise.
You must know that the biggest feature of the God Transformation Stage is that it can transform into Tao with one's body.
If you want to imprison the monks in the transformation stage, the best way is to cut off their connection with the surrounding world.
There are many methods at this point, two of which are the best.
One is to use special means to directly seal the body of the monk in the transformation stage.
Prevent the release of their own magical powers.
This is equivalent to putting a layer of shackles on these monks in the transformation stage.
Another method is to seal him in a special space where he cannot sense the power of heaven and earth.
What Dahuang Tower adopted was to use two methods together.
Therefore, if you look at it from the outside, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the Great Wilderness Tower and other towers in the Immortal League.
But in fact, the spatial structure of the core area of the Great Wilderness Tower is more like a 'Rubik's Cube'.
The outermost layer of the Rubik's Cube is the real world.
Inside the Rubik's Cube, there are special spaces stacked up one after another.
There are many benefits to doing this.
One of the biggest advantages is that the location where prisoners are held can be changed at any time at a specific time.
It makes it difficult for outsiders to accurately locate the area where prisoners are located.
In addition, the owner of the Great Wilderness Tower has the ability to monitor the entire Great Wilderness Tower.
This allows her to completely transfer the space where the prisoners are held at a specific time.
In this way, the entire Great Wilderness Tower is almost equivalent to a small world completely controlled by the owner of the Great Wilderness Tower.
Fighting her in this place would undoubtedly be an egg against a stone.
This is why the Immortal Alliance discovered the actions of Daqianshan.
But he pretended not to know and wanted to lead them into the Great Wilderness Tower.
Without it, the Great Wilderness Tower is really a perfect place to ambush and divide the enemy.
For this upcoming war, many high-level monks have been quietly arranged in the Great Wilderness Tower.
These high-level monks were all found from outside Huangzhou.
And the entire process was conducted in secret.
Make sure it won't leak out.
So the outside world doesn't know this at all.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and it is difficult for any person or plan to be absolutely perfect.
For example, everyone in the Immortal Alliance feels that the Great Wilderness Tower is impregnable.
It is impossible for anyone to break through, and it is impossible for the people detained inside to escape.
The thousands of years since the Great Wilderness Tower appeared have also proved this point.
This makes the layout inside the Great Wilderness Tower unchanged for a long time.
Many times, fortresses are breached not from the outside, but from the inside.
In a prisoner space in the Great Wilderness Tower at this time.
The person imprisoned in this space is a thousand-year-old man.
"It's quick, it's quick..."
The thousand-year-old man who was imprisoned in the golden barrier looked at the barrier in front of him with a strange smile on his face.
I saw some minor cracks on the surface of the seal pillars erected around them.
And in these cracks, many small black tentacles grew.
These tentacles are very flexible, as if they have a life of their own.
The pillar that keeps devouring the pillar of seal.
Because thousand-year-olds can steal secrets to a certain extent and know some secrets in advance.
As a result, the Immortal Alliance often asked him to calculate something.
From being imprisoned to now, the thousand-year-old man has been imprisoned for three hundred years.
Three hundred years are enough time for mortals to reproduce for several generations.
Even for a monk, three hundred years is a relatively long time, long enough to forget some things.
For example, what are the origins and methods of the thousand-year-old man?
Due to inertia, the Immortal Alliance subconsciously believed that the thousand-year-old man's ability was to foresee the secrets of heaven.
It’s not surprising that this happens.
Because when the thousand-year-old man was captured for the first time, this was the ability he showed.
You can always know the trends of the Immortal Alliance in advance.
If it weren't for Xiao's amazing strength and his ability to block his own secrets to a certain extent.
In the end, the thousand-year-old man was caught off guard.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for the Immortal Alliance to catch the thousand-year-old man.
After catching the thousand-year-old man, the Xianmeng went through many tests.
May be limited by insufficient data.
As a result, they were eventually deceived by the thousand-year-old man.
He thought that his greatest method was to predict the secrets of heaven.
But in fact, predicting secrets is just one of the methods of the thousand-year-old man.
In other words, it is a manifestation of his true ability.
What the thousand-year-old man is really good at is actually 'exchange'.
Relying on this method, a thousand-year-old man can sacrifice his lifespan in exchange for a certain degree of secrets.
In order to achieve the effect of predicting the secrets of heaven.
And this part of the lost secret can be made up for by his own talent.
His talent, or bloodline magical power, is to gain extra longevity by devouring other living beings.
In other words, the thousand-year-old man who was considered to be a thousand-year-old man has just been born, and his accumulated life span is not much.
In order to avoid being captured by the Immortal Alliance, he spent a lot of life.
Otherwise, Xiao Xiao would have been quite powerful at that time.
It is almost impossible to catch him.
Although the thousand-year-old man was caught.
But he never thought about giving up from the beginning.
From the first day he was imprisoned in the Great Wilderness Tower, he had been planning how to escape from here.
And his method of escaping was his innate magical power...the way of gain and loss.
Whatever is gained, something is lost.
Although the Immortal Alliance has obtained a lot of secrets through the thousand-year-old man, it has achieved considerable benefits.
But this process is not without cost.
On the surface, the thousand-year-old man helped the Immortal Alliance predict the secret of heaven at the cost of his own life.
The Immortal League responded by lowering the sentence for imprisoning a thousand-year-old man.
In fact, this is just a blind trick of a thousand-year-old man.
What he really got from the Immortal Alliance was precious 'mana'.
Because every time the thousand-year-old man helps the Immortal Alliance complete a task.
They will all ask the other party to give some spiritual stones in advance as energy for activating mana.
Naturally, the Immortal Alliance was not unprepared for this.
They closely monitored the thousand-year-old man and made sure that he completely consumed all his magic power after each prediction.
As soon as they come and go, the Immortal Alliance predicts the spiritual stones that the thousand-year-old man will need each time.
There is not much doubt.
But in fact, what the thousand-year-old man used to activate the method of gain and loss was his own lifespan, not mana at all.
Then where was the mana converted from this part of the spirit stone consumed?
This is naturally the thousand-year-old man who used the method of gain and loss to transform this part of spiritual power into his own 'Tao'.
This method is a kind of black under the lamp.
After all, monks in the Transformation Stage are all beings who transform themselves into Tao.
The Tao is itself.
Therefore, the thousand-year-old man has some traces of Tao on his body, as long as he hides it well enough.
It is difficult for outsiders to notice.
The thousand-year-old man relied on this method to temporarily store this part of his mana.
Although there will be a lot of loss when converted into mana again.
But in three hundred years, the mana stored by the thousand-year-old man has reached a very objective level.
Relying on this part of the mana, the thousand-year-old man quietly corroded the formation that imprisoned him.
Now, although he cannot completely break this formation.
But it has initially met its own requirements.
That is to gain control over a part of this space.
As long as the timing is right.
He can transform his body into Tao, completely control this space, and then take the entire space with him to escape from the Great Desolation Tower.
That's right. The thousand-year-old man never thought of escaping from this space from the beginning.
Let alone whether he has the ability to do so.
Once the space of this place moves abnormally, it will attract the attention of the master of the Great Wilderness Tower.
This makes the thousand-year-old man dare not act rashly.
But it is unrealistic to successfully escape without destroying this sealed space.
Therefore, the thousand-year-old man thought of another way.
The principle of this method is also simple.
If the space where he is imprisoned is regarded as a whole.
Then what the thousand-year-old man did was to install a few wheels on this space.
In this way, the entire space can be put into action, achieving the effect of four ounces to move a thousand pounds.
And as long as this sealed space is separated from the Great Wilderness Tower, the thousand-year-old man will be equivalent to successfully escaping.
It must be said that this method is very bold.
Because this not only requires the thousand-year-old man to have a good understanding of space.
It also requires the cooperation of outsiders.
After all, once the sealed space where the thousand-year-old man is located is out of the control of the Great Wilderness Tower.
The Great Wilderness Tower would definitely react and capture him immediately.
If there was no help from outsiders, the thousand-year-old man wanted to rely on himself and the entire space to avoid the capture of the Great Wilderness Tower and the Immortal Alliance.
It was undoubtedly a foolish dream.
But the thousand-year-old man had already made arrangements before he was captured.
Because he calculated at that time that he could not afford the price of the Immortal Alliance to capture him.
The thousand-year-old man used his remaining lifespan to calculate again.
This time he calculated whether he would have a chance to escape from the Great Wilderness Tower in the future.
The result at that time was that although it was difficult for him to do it, there was indeed a chance to escape.
It just needed to be done at a specific time.
Just calculating this time, the thousand-year-old man paid nearly 90%, which is equivalent to the lifespan of millions of people.
It can be seen how critical this information is.
And it is precisely because of knowing an approximate time.
That is why the thousand-year-old man has always been so calm.
After all, what people fear most is not difficulties, but the lack of hope.
Knowing that there is a chance to escape, the thousand-year-old man will naturally not give up easily.
Now the time of escape that he estimated three hundred years ago is getting closer and closer.
Thinking of this, the smile on the face of the thousand-year-old man became brighter and brighter.
At the same time, a shadow of Tai Sui began to appear around him.
That's right, 'Taisui' is the real body of the thousand-year-old man.
It is also his true body.
From the beginning, the thousand-year-old man was not an evil cultivator.
He was a demon in disguise.
It was just because Tai Sui's transformation method was too outstanding.
The Immortal Alliance could not see the true body of the thousand-year-old man.
They just thought that the other party was an evil cultivator who practiced the magic way.
"When the time comes, the sky will borrow the power, and the heavenly secret... will appear."
After the thousand-year-old man murmured a few words, he looked up at the space above his head, as if he was patiently waiting for something.
At the same time, some Da Qianshan also disguised themselves as various professions and entered the Great Wilderness Tower...
