"It's not that you've become smaller, it's that your age has regressed." Xi Yunting said coldly. There is an essential difference between the two things.
However, Zhao Fang, Chang Shou and De Yuan have not yet realized the danger.
Zhao Fang looked at Chang Shou's face and saw that he had indeed regressed from an adult man to a teenager. His physique had also changed from that of a middle-aged man to that of a slender teenager, and his height had also shrunk. "Yeah, no wonder the clothes felt too big for you."
Xi Yunting was very anxious, and his face looked increasingly unhappy. "I think we have entered a time-related magic array. I have seen magic arrays that make people age and die in the past, but this kind of magic array that can reverse one's age and time is the first time I have seen one."
Chang Shou's knowledge was shallower than Zhao Fang's. He said, "Uncle Master, time reversal is easier to solve than aging, right?"
Xi Yunting had a solemn face, and his originally sharp features became visibly softer, which reduced his majesty. "No, time travel is more dangerous than time acceleration! Just think about it, no matter how old and weak a cultivator becomes, it is only the functions of the body, and the cultivation level will not change. Time travel will make a cultivator who has grown into an adult become reversed, and the true essence cultivation will disappear as the body becomes smaller. How can a child's body withstand the true essence running through the meridians? How can the true essence be stored when the Dantian is not yet formed?"
Zhao Fang and the other two were shocked. This time magic array was indeed dangerous and powerful.
De Yuan asked anxiously, "Uncle Xi, does the book say how to break the magic circle?"
Xi Yunting's face became even uglier. "It cannot be cracked. The person who experienced it firsthand only managed to escape the range of the magic circle with all his strength before he died of old age, and that's how he survived."
Zhao Fang said: "Then we will do as instructed. We should get out of the formation before we completely lose our cultivation."
Xi Yunting glanced at him and did not say that the time left for people when time goes back is shorter than when time is accelerated.
The situation was urgent and they had no time to continue discussing here, so Xi Yunting led everyone to chase in the direction of Chen Xiao.
No matter whether it is foggy or not, just use your body skills and go as fast as you can.
His broad and solid chest became thin, the muscles on his strong waist became thinner, the straight nose became smoother, and his square chin seemed to have been rubbed off, with a blunt angle.
The straight, thick, black eyebrows looked like thick ink into which clear water had been dropped, becoming lighter and sparser. The distance between the eyebrows and eyes gradually shrank, and fleshy baby fat began to appear on both sides of the cheeks.
"Stop." After rushing for a while, Xi Yunting had to stop the team.
He helplessly discovered that as they moved forward quickly, the effect of time travel on them became stronger and stronger.
In just a short while, they transformed from young men in their twenties into teenagers of eleven or twelve.
Before they knew it, the thick fog around them had disappeared. They were now in a vast white space. There was nothing around them in all directions but white. Even the ground beneath their feet was white.
As soon as the uncle called for a stop, the disciples fell to the ground one after another, but they fell into gourds that rolled on the ground.
“Ouch!” “Ah—”
His height and weight had shrunk drastically, the clothes he wore were so long that they dragged on the ground, and the boots on his feet were so big that he would slip when he stood on them.
Zhao Fang looked at the boots that no longer fit his feet with a sad face. He said worriedly, "Are we going to go barefoot?"
The magic they were learning at the moment was to control the invisible spiritual energy between heaven and earth, making clouds and rain, and overturning mountains and seas a piece of cake. Changing forms, turning stones into gold, these high-level magics involving the origin of nature could not be mastered unless one was a great power.
Xi Yunting waved his hand, and the clothes and boots of the disciples began to shrink.
Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, having forgotten that Master Xi had already mastered his own domain and, of course, had also learned the laws of the origin.
Xi Yunting's face became smaller, and the crown on his head was so heavy that it hurt his delicate scalp. He had to take off the crown and just used a hairpin to tie his hair into a simple bun.
As he did this, the disciples who realized it later also took off their crowns. The cultivators in Luochen Heaven Realm all like to be coquettish. The male cultivators don't have as many ways to dress themselves up as the female cultivators, but they have just as many styles. The crown is the most important item, which is either made of precious metals or spiritual gems. Such a heavy thing not only hurts the scalp, but the boy's relatively weak neck and shoulders can't bear the weight.
Zhao Fang put away his crown and looked at his uncle who was frowning and pursing his lips. Although the serious expression composed of his delicate and beautiful facial features was very cold, its deterrent effect was greatly reduced. So he dared to go over and ask his uncle why he was troubled.
The young uncle sighed and said, "I just cast a spell, but it consumed several times more energy than the outside world. I mobilized the spiritual energy here to replenish my energy, but found that the spiritual energy was absorbed by the magic circle."
Zhao Fang thought for a moment and said in surprise, "So, wouldn't it be true that the more you use your energy in this formation, the less energy you have?"
The uncle said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Not only that, the spiritual energy in the formation will increase as a result of favoring one over the other. When Chongshan designed this formation, he must have considered the trouble of replenishing the spiritual energy later, so he did it this way on purpose. The more people break into this formation, the more spiritual energy will be strengthened. As long as the spiritual energy is continuous, the formation will not be out of repair and become ineffective."
Zhao Fang was speechless for a moment. He really didn't know whether he should admire Chongshan or hate him for being so well-planned.
"Then how do we find Uncle Chen and Uncle Jing next?" Zhao Fang said.
Xi Yunting frowned and said, "We can only walk slowly."
After trying little by little, they finally found that if they wanted to shrink as slowly as possible in the magic circle, they had to walk slowly step by step without using magic or physical skills.
Even so, they could find that they would become half a year younger every time they walked a certain distance, unless they stayed in the same place and did not move.
But if they stay where they are, what's the point of their coming here? I don't think anyone would choose to be trapped where they are. They either go back the same way or continue moving forward.
When the group's appearance and size shrank to that of eight or nine years old, they finally saw a group of people outside the Fire Lotus Temple.
Xi Yunting had a stern face as he faced a group of immortal cultivators who were wearing baggy clothes that barely covered their bodies after they had only torn off the hems and sleeves that were too long.
From the style of these people's clothes and the cloth hoods on their heads, he recognized at a glance that these people were from Changyang Palace.
The leader bowed to Xi Yunting and said, "I am Xiao Xingchu from Changyang Palace. I am here to greet you, fellow Taoist."
Xi Yunting nodded coldly, "Xi Yunting from the Chongxuan Sect."
Unlike the Chongxuan School and the Jinchan Sect who barged in without knowing the situation, the Changyang Palace came in following the Equipment Refiners Alliance, and no one knew why they were here at this moment.
The people from Changyang Palace looked much older than Xi Yunting and his group at this moment, ranging in age from fifteen to twenty years old. Compared with the other side's physique, Xi Yunting and his group were like lambs standing next to a herd of cattle, the disparity was huge.
But Xi Yunting was not afraid. The people from Changyang Palace would not act rashly unless they wanted to lose their true essence.
His judgment was very accurate. Xiao Xingchu was very polite and said, "I wonder if I can go with you?"
Xi Yunting raised his eyebrows. This originally very imposing action now looked very cute. "Hasn't Changyang Palace always followed the lead of the Equipment Refiner Alliance? Why did you change your mind?"
Xiao Xingchu smiled bitterly and said, "I was a little indecisive and indecisive, which led to your misunderstanding. In fact, my Changyang Palace has always felt that it is not a good idea to cooperate with Hongfu Pavilion, but due to the face of Zhang Huizhu, it is not easy to refuse directly, so I had to pretend to be cooperative. It was not until this time that I realized that something was wrong that I realized how foresighted Xi Daoist was. I am really ashamed."
Xi Yunting was in a bad mood, so he naturally didn't bother to deal with him. He just said indifferently, "You are too kind, fellow Daoist."
Xiao Xingchu pestered him for a few more words, but when he saw that Xi Yunting was still not letting go, he had no choice but to spit out some useful information. He said, "The two evil cultivators from Hongfu Pavilion told me a lot of inside information in advance. I won't mention how to get to the island. The first level you encounter after landing on the island is this time array. The second level is a wild garden full of powerful spirit beasts, and the third level is the entrance to the Immortal Palace."
"However, the actual situation is more serious than they said. The formation only said to walk straight ahead, and we could pass through it safely without using our true energy or body skills. However, we realized halfway through that if we continued to walk in this way, everyone would be trapped inside before we even got out of the formation! What's even more hateful is that when the two evil cultivators were questioned, they pretended to be innocent and said that it was because our cultivation was too low, and it wasn't their fault!" Xiao Xingchu said hatefully.
At this time, the first disciple behind Xiao Xingchu said, "In fact, according to the method provided by the evil cultivator, there are only two types of people who can safely pass through the magic circle. The first type is to have a high enough cultivation level, which must be above the fusion stage, and to cast spells with all their strength, and to leave the magic circle before the true essence is consumed. The second type is to be old enough. The older you are, the longer the reversal process will take, and you can get out within the time limit."
Xiao Xingchu sighed, "All of us do not meet these two conditions, so we can only be trapped and die in the magic circle. At this time, Hongfu Pavilion put forward conditions. As long as we agree to their conditions, there is a way to take us out of the magic circle."
Xi Yunting asked, "Then why don't you agree? Is it because the evil cultivator's conditions are too harsh?"
Xiao Xingchu shook his head and said, "Their conditions are not harsh. They just want to reach a deeper cooperation with us, not just to explore treasures in this fairy palace. This kind of behavior of forgetting one's roots, I, Changyang Palace, cannot agree with it. They dare to conceal so much in the first level. Who knows what dangers there will be in the next two levels, and what demands they will make. I, Changyang Palace, would rather give up this fairy palace than do anything that goes against the position of Taoism. I simply resigned and turned back. I didn't want to meet you here, so I had a thought in my mind and wanted to go with you."
Zhao Fang sneered in his heart, saying that he was indecisive and indecisive, and was simply an old fox!
If there are benefits, then follow the Equipment Refiners Alliance. If you think the risks are too great, then leave.
Now that I met them, I felt that they must have some support to dare to walk like this, so I ran over to catch up with them.
The two evil cultivators from Hongfu Pavilion were insidious enough. They took advantage of the Taoist cultivator's unwillingness to give up halfway and made him agree to their conditions. It seemed like inducement, but in fact it was simply coercion.
