Chapter 99: Ancestor Worship
"Fellow Daoist Mingfang, the 16th floor is a maze. It is difficult to get through if you are not at the level of formation. You should give up!" Gu Xiuyun persuaded.
"I have been practicing hard for a month, and I have received some advice from Elder Junsheng. I think I have made some progress in formation. You don't need to worry about it."
Stepping into the 16th floor of the formation forbidden platform, the mist surged and submerged Daoist Mingfang.
"Is it that easy to make a mid-level maze?" Gu Xiuyun smiled.
He closed his eyes and continued to deduce the Misty Light Escape.
As a secret method of the Wuhen Sect, the Misty Light Escape is more mysterious and profound than the Lichen Escape. This escape technique is not only extremely fast, but also can differentiate light and shadow to confuse the opponent.
According to Gu Xiuyun's deduction, as long as the three restrictions are integrated and the Misty Light Escape is mastered, a light and shadow can be differentiated.
If four restrictions are integrated, three light and shadows can be differentiated.
If five restrictions are integrated, even nine light and shadows can be differentiated.
When it really comes to that, with the change of footsteps, ten figures will move at the same time within a hundred feet. Even if the opponent's cultivation is two realms higher, he will never find Gu Xiuyun's true body.
Of course, it is extremely difficult to integrate the five kinds of restrictions. Even the nine disciples have not been able to do it.
Among the immortal secrets, the easiest to practice is the killing secret, followed by the defense secret, and the most difficult is the escape.
Because the killing secret does not need to consider stability, and focuses on the burst in an instant, the condensed immortal restrictions only require great power and do not need to exist for a long time. For example, the light refining finger is to turn the power of one finger into sword light in an instant to kill the enemy.
And the defense secret needs to be maintained for a long time, such as the spirit armor technique. Once it is formed, it is worn on the body like armor, and the requirements for restrictions are much higher.
As for the escape technique, it must not only be maintained for a long time, but also change at any time to match its own escape, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, which is the most difficult to practice.
Therefore, there are many disciples in Wuhen Sect who have practiced the spirit armor technique, but there are very few who have practiced the light escape.
"The speed of the Mi Guang Dun is only 20% faster than the Li Chen Dun. The speed advantage is not great, but if it is used in fighting, the difference is as big as the difference between heaven and earth."
The more Gu Xiuyun comprehended, the more he felt that the Mi Guang Dun was profound and unfathomable.
As both are intermediate-level methods, there are also differences in superiority and inferiority.
In addition to its extreme speed, the Li Chen Dun has no special effects.
And the Mi Guang Dun, in addition to the illusion of light and shadow, can also affect the surrounding light.
Once fighting, the opponent can't tell where his true body is, but he can easily find the opponent's position.
This fight has a three-point advantage out of thin air.
Unknowingly, two hours passed, and the sky gradually darkened.
The fog on the forbidden platform dissipated, and Ming Fang Taoist walked out with a lonely face.
The maze has no effect on killing the enemy, it can only seal the enemy, and naturally there is a time limit. If you can't get out within two hours, there will be a way out. The practitioners trapped in the formation can leave as long as they step on the way out.
But doing so is equivalent to giving up the formation.
Gu Xiuyun opened his eyes and looked at Taoist Mingfang who was walking down the forbidden mountain. He shook his head slightly, "Fellow Daoist Mingfang, the spirit bag is just an external thing, why do you care about it? If you can enter the third heaven, a mere spirit bag will be at your fingertips."
"Hmph, you don't have to be kind. You won this battle, but I won't admit defeat easily," Taoist Mingfang said with a fierce look on his face, "Wait, I will challenge you again next month. Then, we will meet on the trial stage."
"If you want the spirit bag, you must come up with enough chips. If it's the water-repellent beads again, I won't agree." Gu Xiuyun smiled.
The rules of Wuhen Sect are that although you can challenge your fellow disciples at will, as long as you have been challenged within two months, you don't need to accept the challenge again.
This is also to prevent disciples from being maliciously challenged and delaying their practice.
Going on the trial stage once every two months can both inspire the desire to make progress and not affect practice.
After Taoist Mingfang left, Gu Xiuyun went to the mountain-guarding disciples, took away the spirit bag and water-repellent beads, and then headed to Yanning Mountain.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the first month of the month to preach.
The Golden Hall was full of disciples. This time, there were a lot of disciples, including 24 disciples in the Kaimai Realm and 158 disciples in the late Ximai Realm.
As for the disciples below the middle Ximai Realm, they could not enter the mountain gate at all.
"Strange, why are all the disciples of Yanning Mountain back? Did something big happen?" Gu Xiuyun glanced at the people in the hall, wondering in his heart.
There were 24 disciples in the Kaimai Realm in Yanning Mountain. Gu Xiuyun knew about this, but in the past, there were only 18 or 19 people present at the first month of the month. The other disciples were either out on missions or stationed outside and could not return.
But today, 24 disciples in the Kaimai Realm actually came together, which was too strange.
He looked at He Yu beside him and saw that he had a calm face without any surprise. Obviously, he was not surprised by this matter.
"It seems that something happened that I don't know about!" Gu Xiuyun was curious, but he didn't dare to ask.
Even the disciples in the Qi-washing Realm didn't show any strange expression, which showed that everyone knew about this matter. If Gu Xiuyun asked, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Cough! Cough!
There was only a cough.
Taoist Kang Yan walked out of the back hall and looked at everyone, "It's rare to see all the disciples return to the mountain gate. Unknowingly, another year has passed. Who of you is willing to go to the ancestor sacrifice this year?"
All the disciples in the hall showed their interest, but no one dared to speak.
"Ancestor sacrifice?" Gu Xiuyun was puzzled.
He had never heard Fu Lan talk about this matter, and Taoist Mingxian had never mentioned it either.
"Master, every year during the ancestor worship ceremony, the Seventy-two Mountains of Jiuling will send disciples to compete. Although it is a competition, it does not seek victory or defeat. It is just a performance. The focus is to showcase the younger generations of each mountain." Sitting at the front. Taoist Mingshan on the side said, "Since it is a performance, why not send Junior Brother Minghe there? Junior Brother is still young. Even if he loses, he will not lose the sect's face."
"Mingshan is right," Taoist Kang Yan nodded slightly, "Minghe, the ancestor sacrifice will be held in three days. You will go to the sect's ancestral hall to participate in the ancestor sacrifice."
"Thank you, Master." He Ji knelt down excitedly and kowtowed.
"Junior Brother Minghe is really lucky. As soon as he entered the Kaimai Realm this year, he was able to participate in the ancestor worship. I heard that there is infinite star power in the ancestral hall. One day of practice there is worth three months outside." The Pulse Realm disciple said, his eyes full of envy.
"It's also Master's great love and Senior Brother's support. Otherwise, how can I be a Junior Brother?" He Jiu said with a smile on his face.
"The Patriarch's Sacrifice is held once a year, and only lasts for seven days each time, but no one at the mountain gate wants to participate. So far, only the eldest brother, the third brother, and the sixth brother have participated the most times. Most of the other brothers have not been there yet. Compared with them, , Junior Brother Minghe is truly blessed!”
Other disciples whispered congratulations.
They understood that He Jiu was valued by Taoist Kang Yan and would catch up sooner or later. Even if his cultivation level was not as good as theirs now, he would be able to open the Heaven Pass in a short time.
Although Gu Xiuyun has opened a heavenly barrier, no one pays attention to it, as if he is transparent.
