After the sword cultivator's clone got the token, he did not stay to "score points" and grab more tokens.
That kind of behavior might attract attention, but in reality it has no other benefits except offending people.
Especially since this is just a clone. Even if it steals the show to this extent, it still has no positive impact on the original body.
The clone Tang Yan stepped on the flying sword and slowly left the Stone Forest arena. None of the other foundation-building cultivators nearby dared to step forward to stop him, and allowed him to take away a token representing the opportunity to advance.
Many of them actually suspected that the clone had run out of spiritual energy and was no longer able to fight, but what if? What if they guessed wrong?
The stone forest that was razed to the ground just now is still vivid in my mind, and there are not so many warriors present who are willing to die.
Tang Yan casually threw the token to the stadium staff, and was somewhat surprised to find that he was not the first one to come out.
There are actually five names on the jade list representing the Foundation Establishment Stage competition.
When he was frantically using his ultimate move to clear the field, someone had already successfully obtained the token and came out to complete the delivery.
Although the sword cultivator's clone was not thinking about rushing and just did everything slowly and leisurely, the time spent was definitely not long.
He was not surprised that there were people faster than him, but there were five of them at once. This seemed a little surprising. One should not underestimate the cultivators in the world.
Hmm? Among the five people, there is actually a disciple of Shengxian Pavilion? The disciples of Shengxian Pavilion are not considered powerful among the many sects in Dachongshan.
In the general impression, they are just fancy stands made of elixirs and magic weapons.
However, this person's name is ranked second on the Jade List. When did the disciples of Shengxian Pavilion become so capable?
After handing in the token, Tang Yan's name was ranked sixth.
Then he shook his head, not wanting to pay too much attention to these boring trivialities, nor did he plan to stay and continue watching the battle. Instead, he stepped on the flying sword and went straight back to the sect’s headquarters.
Not far away, a group of sword cultivators who were also carrying flying swords looked at his sword light going away and showed expressions of praise.
"Winning without being arrogant is a good character."
"This kid Tang Yan suffered a great disaster before, but now he has survived the disaster, so he should have good fortune in the future."
"After having his blood sucked by the Golden Core Corpse Demon, he then fell into the dirty Yin Corpse blood. Not only was he fine under those circumstances, but he also awakened some special spiritual talents. This is a blessing for us at Shushan."
Several Shushan elders who were watching the battle from the sidelines gathered together and expressed their admiration for Tang Yan, their disciple who had returned from the dead.
Tang Yan had forgotten most of the Taoist methods he had learned. Although he had awakened his swordsmanship, they were all worried that Tang Yan would never recover.
Even if not, it would probably take quite a long time to re-learn the spells and restore the strength.
But unexpectedly, Tang Yan was not confused by this. Instead, he emerged as a dark horse in just a few months and became one of the five strongest people in the foundation-building period of the Five Elements Peak of Shushan.
"But little Tang Yan has lost a lot of his past memories. He doesn't even recognize me as his master."
A swordsman who was holding a jar of wine in his hand and had a drunken flush on his face seemed a little helpless when he talked about this. He lifted the jar of wine and took a few more gulps.
"Old Fan, don't be sad. As a cultivator, immortality is your goal. Just twenty years of memories are gone, and there is still a lot of time to live."
"However, I heard that your disciple seemed to have seen something extraordinary when he was underwater in the Mazu River. What was the specific situation?"
An elder next to him asked, but before that, Jiang Li had already let the sword cultivator's clone reveal part of the matter.
Naturally, he did not say too much or in too much detail, and did not mention the most critical spiritual root seed.
Because after obtaining the spiritual root, he already had the possibility of becoming the fisherman who benefits from the fight between the snipe and the clam.
If he exposed all the information about the spiritual root seeds at once, it would probably bring trouble upon himself and make people doubt how he got the information. This would probably put his clone in a very unfavorable situation.
Secondly, if the information is completely leaked, some people may advocate the large-scale killing and destruction of these spiritual root seeds, but there is no good way to identify those disciples who are parasitized. It will easily cause panic among people and cause chaos in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
It is even possible that someone will eye the magical ability of the spiritual root seeds to change destiny, and collect and use those seeds without authorization, causing an even greater disaster.
After all, greed is human nature and cannot withstand any test.
Finally, and this is the point that Jiang Li "cares least about", judging from the performance of the spiritual root division, those spiritual root seeds are of extraordinary significance to it and seem to be quite important.
The spiritual root branch will soon be made into a second clone by Jiang Li, and then these unknown spiritual root seeds will become his easy-to-obtain benefits. How could Jiang Li be willing to give the cake to others for nothing and then give up.
So he just used the memory scene when he was near death as an excuse to tell the sect that there was a huge monster hiding under the water, hoping that the sect could investigate it.
As for what he could find out from the investigation, that was not something he could control.
"Not sure yet, but the two elders Zuo Kong and Zuo Luo have already gone to investigate. If there is anything unusual, they should report back soon."
In the Battle of Mazu River, the people of Shushan Five Elements Peak suffered a great loss, and were still holding a grudge against themselves.
It’s just because the Jindan corpse demon has been killed that there is nothing more we can do.
Now we know that under the water, the golden elixir corpse demon is not the only one, there is another hidden in deeper water who is the mastermind behind all this.
In this case, how could the Shushan Five Elements Peak tolerate it? Not directly overturning the Mazu River was already the result of their restraint. How could they really remain indifferent?
Sending out two Jindan sword cultivators is just for exploration. When they really take action, it will probably be a thundering attack.
Many medium and large sects will easily become history under the wrath of the Five Elements Peak of Shushan.
Jiang Li's move is called driving the tiger to devour the wolf. He doesn't believe that the big tiger from the Five Elements Peak of Shushan cannot defeat a tree.
When the two sides fight, Jiang Li can fish in troubled waters like he did back then, isn't that wonderful! Not long after Tang Yan got the token, several more cultivators came out.
Among them, they unexpectedly saw a strange face. When the name on the jade wall appeared, many people were surprised to find that there was another person under the name of Shengxian Pavilion.
Among the ten people who first got the tokens and left the competition area, two of them were disciples of Shengxian Pavilion.
This phenomenon is indeed somewhat abnormal.
The fastest way to capture the token does not necessarily mean that the monk is stronger. But it also shows that the monk has at least one aspect that is enough to suppress the chaos and stand out in the stalemate.
For example, a speed that no one can match, a magic weapon that nothing can match, and so on.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for a foundation-building cultivator of this level to be unknown no matter how low-key he is, but no one present knew those two people.
The reason behind this is not difficult to understand. For a moment, many eyes looked in the direction of Shengxian Pavilion, and some of them became unfriendly.
After so many years, they have almost forgotten that the Shengxian Pavilion is essentially an external force.
The other party has made use of forces outside of Dachongshan, which means that once the Dachongshan branch of Shengxian Pavilion wins the victory, the distributed benefits will inevitably be transmitted to the headquarters outside.
There is nothing wrong with them doing business in Dachong Mountain, but if they take away some of the precious resources and transport them to the outside world, it will undoubtedly slow down the development of Dachong Mountain.
Many forces looked at each other and soon reached a consensus that they must kill all the guys from Shengxian Pavilion on the ring in the next round!
The clone Tang Yan did not see the tacit glances between the various sects. Even if he saw it, he would not care too much about it.
At this time, he had returned to his room and sat cross-legged. The next moment, all the muscles in his body completely went limp and his consciousness had left his body.
This fight was not intense enough to require him to use his sword heart, so today's sword heart slashes were retained.
Amidst the foggy mountains, Jiang Li also entered the coffin space, and the burial coffin then sank into the ground, leaving no trace on the surface.
The second parallel consciousness once again squeezed into the opponent's consciousness space by launching the Mayfly Dream towards the ancient tree statue, and then stood in front of the ancient tree ideology with the first parallel consciousness.
The ancient statue tree was in a miserable state at this time. Its roots and leaves looked like they had been eaten by locusts and had become scattered and sparse.
The scale monster ghosts hanging on his body had long been consumed.
The ancient tree was also covered with gullies and sword cuts. There were even three overlapping sword cuts in the middle, which almost cut it in half.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
As for the sacred tree in the distance that reaches from the sky to the earth, although still incredibly tall, it no longer has such a strong deterrent power when viewed from here.
Because the distance between them is much greater than it was back then.
This is because the connection in the spiritual world must be two-way, but the spiritual root branch captured by Jiang Li is now almost unable to hold on.
"Today is the last sword!"
The sword cultivator's clone was full of confidence and was very sure about this. During this period of time, he performed a Sword Heart Slash every day. His sword heart talent, which had been awakened not long ago, became more and more proficient. Perhaps he would be able to make another step forward soon.
Of the ancient statue tree, only a pitiful vine was left dancing in the air, trying to launch its final attack on the parallel consciousness.
The vines of this ancient tree have a much stronger control over spirits than the locust tree. If one is caught in the vines, even a parallel consciousness will suffer no good consequences.
But the next moment, a blazing sword light that reflected the soul bloomed in front of the sword cultivator's consciousness body, instantly cutting the vines that were coiled like a python into several pieces, and then slashed fiercely in the middle of the ancient tree's consciousness body, on the deepest sword mark with the remaining force.
Crack! The ancient statue tree was finally cut in half in the middle. The two halves of the statue flew away and lost all vitality in the air. The spiritual root in the distance also disappeared completely, and the connection was cut off. Finally, starting from the broken end, the ancient statue tree gradually broke into pieces, scattered into wood chips, and began to slowly dissipate.
But Jiang Li was such a frugal cultivator that he would never let such a great opportunity slip away.
The palm-sized second parallel consciousness immediately stepped forward and performed the Soul-Viewing (Soul-Seizing) chapter of the Heart Sutra of Avalokitesvara.
Suddenly, an invisible suction force emerged from the second consciousness, and all the floating green lights were instantly attracted to him and floated over.
Countless green spots of light poured in, and the palm-sized second consciousness expanded rapidly.
The second parallel consciousness was originally human-shaped, and looked exactly like Jiang Li's body except for the size. As it grew under the nourishment of the green light, its image gradually became more like a plant rather than a human.
Jiang Li's real body looked quite embarrassed in the coffin, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands.
A large amount of information flow is filtered and selected by parallel consciousness, and some of the most valuable information is selected and transmitted.
But even so, that amount of memory information still tortured Jiang Li to the point of ecstasy and a splitting headache.
You know, the sensory characteristics of plants and animals are different.
The sensory memory of animals is focused, and many trivial details will be subconsciously ignored even if your body receives them.
But plants are different. Their slow "nerves" can receive feedback from every leaf and every root indiscriminately.
It may be just a breeze, a ray of sunshine, or a raindrop. What this ancient tree remembers may exceed the total memory of an animal in its entire life.
Such a huge amount of information is simply incapable of being carried by ordinary plants. If they have memories, the memory retention time may be far less than the seven seconds of fish.
But the one in front of him was a branch of a spiritual root. It was incomparable to ordinary plants. It actually preserved all the information intact.
Moreover, this spiritual root branch has existed for who knows how many years, and the amount of information it has accumulated is simply incomprehensible.
Therefore, even after being filtered through the Heart Sutra of Guanyin many times, this memory still made Jiang Li want to cry but could not! However... In the end, he still could not escape the law of true fragrance.
This process is painful, but if he really wants him to stop, Jiang Li will be reluctant to do so.
Because in these billions of memories, every moment, contains the branching of spiritual roots, and the understanding of nature and oneself.
More importantly, this spiritual root branch, as Jiang Li expected, also has the Yin Wood attribute! After realizing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but be ecstatic. No wonder when he saw this spiritual root branch in the cave, he felt that this thing was destined to be with him and could bring great help.
Even its attributes are the same as Jiang Li's own, so it can bring him a lot of benefits.
If the Sophora japonica tree is a one-star Yin wood and the Vampire wood is a four-star Yin wood, then this spiritual root branch is at least an eight-star Yin wood, only below the spiritual root body! In Jiang Li's eyes, the mysteries revealed in every bit of memory and every move of this branch are far higher than his main cultivation method, the Ghost Wood.
Under the influence of this massive flow of memories, he could feel that his understanding of Yin attribute aura and wood attribute aura was rapidly improving like a rocket. Many of the difficult and obscure points in the spells were now as simple as the instinct of eating and drinking water. They were understood at once! The indoctrination of this memory lasted a whole day. In the mountains outside, when the monks' brains were about to be beaten out, Jiang Li lay in the coffin, quietly looking at the ghost lights above with lifeless eyes, and the whole person was lazy and motionless.
After a long time, Jiang Li shook his head and came out of his confusion.
He moved his palms. He had spent too long that day in the memory of the spiritual root division. He was almost forgetting what it felt like to have hands and feet.
This feeling of pain and happiness can finally come to an end.
Jiang Li stood up and picked a seed from a glowing vine beside him.
He threw the seed forward, and a strong spiritual energy wave burst out instantly. The small seed burst into a dark green light, and the next moment it suddenly expanded into a black wooden dragon over 20 meters long, instantly entangled a wandering zombie in front of it, and strangled it to pieces! Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction. Since he started to practice physical training, he basically relied on physical training methods to fight, and the Taoist magic spells he learned basically became auxiliary or decoration.
However, after remembering and understanding the division of his spiritual roots, the power of his spells was also greatly enhanced, reaching or even surpassing the level of most Foundation Establishment cultivators.
This is called the combination of both Dharma and body. From now on, let’s see who dares to call me a reckless man.
However, such benefits are actually just incidental extras.
Jiang Li walked in the air as if he was climbing up the stairs, and walked step by step back to the side of the spiritual root branch.
With a wave of his hand, the large piece of talisman paper and the rune chains covering it all fell off automatically, and the evil Yin Wood spiritual energy fluctuations instantly emerged.
The spiritual energy and negative energy in the coffin were extracted at high speed, directly forming a spiritual energy vortex that rotated non-stop with the spiritual root as the center.
The spiritual root branch, which had originally become extremely weak, finally recovered a little bit of its spiritual energy with the nourishment of this rich yin spiritual energy.
Soon, densely packed mysterious characters slowly emerged on the trunk of the statue where the spiritual root branched out. This was a heaven-sent Taoist scripture of the Yin spiritual root of wood in heaven and earth, and its name was Jiuyou!
"Jiuyou Daojing"! Comrades () look at this heart, is it very empty? . . .
