With two soul-devouring evil concubines and two giant faces with demonic looks, and dual cores and dual drives, Bai Mo and the other four could clearly feel that the evil aura on the Tianguan Purple Tilia Sacred Tree was fading at a clearly detectable speed.
But at the same time, Bai Mo felt that his summoning magic power was also being consumed at a clearly visible rate, and the replenishment from the Yongquan Ground could no longer keep up with this consumption. Even if he used other types of magic power to convert and replenish it, it seemed that it would not last too long.
This behavior of summoning beasts to the magic world to give birth to children seems to be against the rules, so Bai Mo feels that the magic energy consumed to support her existence is more than that consumed to support the original Soul-Devouring Evil Concubine.
It can be seen that the ground around him turned into a barren gravel land at a speed visible to the naked eye, and this range was constantly expanding. When the last bit of magic power was used up, the two Soul-Devouring Evil Concubines also returned to the summoning plane.
However, the effect is gratifying. In this not-so-short period of time, the evil energy and resentment in the Tianguan Purple Tilia sacred tree has become very little.
This means that Ding Yumian's purifying power does not have to be directed at its body, but instead most of the power can be used to cleanse the spiritual soul of the Tianguan Purple Tilia Sacred Tree.
Without the massive amount of evil and resentful energy, the curse imprinted on the giant purple linden tree, no matter how powerful it was, had become rootless water, and it was only a matter of time before it was wiped out by them.
"It's almost done. Let me do it. I'll trouble Dean Xiang to assist me."
Ding Yumian said, and began to draw the ancient soul-purifying spell. Dean Xiang smiled faintly, and first said to Bai Mo, "We can talk about the matter of the Four Symbols Map when we get back."
Then, a bright spiritual light emanated from his body, which scattered on the body of the Tianguan Purple Tilia Divine Tree like flying snow, purifying the evil spirit that the Soul-Devouring Evil Concubine had not absorbed completely.
The broken section of the tree that Leng Qing had not completely purified was also cleaned, and the main focus was still on the remaining main trunk.
As the other three main trunks were purified, on the last trunk, faint curse patterns appeared on the surface of the Tianguan Purple Tilia Sacred Tree.
"Ancient Soul Purifying Spell!"
At this moment, Ding Yumian's powerful spiritual power gathered, and an ancient soul-purifying spell immediately fell on the big purple linden tree.
Waves of dark red gas rose up, a cursed breath purified by spiritual power. The motionless large purple linden tree began to sway gently.
"It's struggling, but don't worry, it can't get free yet."
Xiang Xuewu saw this and immediately warned her. Ding Yumian nodded slightly, her eyes turned crystal clear, her mind was filled with horrible fluctuations, and she continuously drew curse patterns that fell on the big purple linden tree.
This continued until dusk, when the last cursed pattern on the giant purple linden tree was finally removed.
A faint holy light emanated from it, and the five people present were all slightly stunned, because a thought appeared in their minds.
'Thank you for waking me up, can you please let me go?'
Several people looked at each other, and Bai Mo said, "Let it go."
Anyway, Xiang Xuewu can still release the Dark Mysterious Ze three more times, and the confinement of the spatial willow has not been lifted. In addition, everyone has rested for a while and is refreshed.
However, the big purple linden tree was seriously injured and did not recover. They were not worried about any changes.
The ban of shadow was lifted, and the true appearance of the purified Tianguan Purple Tilia sacred tree was revealed.
It was originally purple in color, and its original evil aura was gone, not even the holiness that the Evil Sky Crown Purple Tilia Divine Tree had pretended to be.
It gives people a very gentle feeling, like a small white flower. The three broken trunks are gathered together by it. The whole thing looks like a weak, kind and innocent girl who looks like she is damaged in battle.
'Thank you, may I go now?'
Its voice continued to be heard, trembling a little, as if it was afraid of them.
Bai Mo blinked and glanced at Ding Yumian. Ding Yumian immediately understood and said, "I'll help you check if there are any curses left. Relax your mind and don't resist."
After saying this, she placed her hands on the big lime tree, and a mental wave scanned its entire body.
The big purple linden tree did not resist and remained motionless, like a rag doll that could be manipulated by anyone.
"No problem,"
'Can I go now?'
"Wait, we want to ask you for a favor."
Ding Yumian spoke up. She had already noticed that compared to Bai Moyan and the others, this large purple linden tree that had regained its original consciousness was relatively more friendly to her.
"What help?"
The big purple linden tree was silent for a moment, and finally asked, shaking his body slightly.
"Do you have the ability to make an oath?"
'have.'
"We would like to ask you to become our Oath Tree, a mage that will be used to restrain our organization. In return, we will take care of you, help you recover, and provide you with what you need to grow in strength."
Ding Yumian spoke gently, trying her best to exude their friendly attitude, while not forgetting to add supplementary information.
"Of course, in order for both of us to trust each other, we need to sign a mental contract."
As she spoke, her fingers sketched in the air, and a strange pattern condensed by the power of the mind slowly appeared in front of the Tianguan Purple Tilia Sacred Tree, allowing it to perceive it on its own.
This pattern alone contains a lot of information contained in the contract, which is the same as how ancient humans used patterns to express and convey information. In addition, it is a spiritual system, so the large purple linden tree can read it very smoothly.
This time, it was silent for a longer time, and the sun was about to set. Just when everyone's hearts sank and they thought that this plan would not work, the thoughts of the big purple linden tree spread again.
"I can sign a contract with you and become the Oath Tree, but I have one condition."
The big purple linden tree swayed slightly. There was no specific male or female voice in its telepathic communication, but it could be heard that it felt a little awkward, as if it had not yet learned how to refuse people.
As an evil giant linden tree, it lived for many years. But now the evil part has dissipated when the curse was removed, and it is now just a normal giant linden tree that has lived for only a few years.
"you say."
'I don't want to be a contracted beast, I don't like being contracted, I hate the feeling of being suppressed.
If you are worried, I can make a vow to myself.
As it spoke, a fruit that looked like a tree core and contained strange power fell on the contract that Ding Yumian had condensed.
"It looks like the fruit of the oath tree." Yan suddenly said.
Then, the words of the big purple linden tree gave everyone the answer -
'This is the fruit of my life oath. It gives this contract the power of my life oath. Once signed, it cannot be revoked. Even I will pay an irreparable price.'
Ding Yumian took a look at the contract and found that there was indeed an additional powerful and strange oath power. The only change was that the clause that required signing a contract with a human summoner had been deleted.
She glanced at Bai Mo, then at Leng Qing. Leng Qing shook his head and said, "It's okay if I can't make a contract. It's just right. I can find a contract beast that I like."
As she spoke, she glanced at Bai Mo lightly, and then continued, "As for the issue of trust, move it to Xiaoshan. With the hollow willow watching over it, nothing will happen."
"Okay, that's it."
Bai Mo nodded, and at the same time secretly reflected that he seemed to be too opinionated. As for the contract beast, he took it for granted that Leng Qing wanted it, but ignored whether she really wanted a tree as a contract beast.
If the large purple linden tree is placed in Xiaoshan, in addition to the hollow willow, there will also be many hidden bosses in the Magic City watching over it, so there is no need to worry about any problems.
So on the spot, everyone watched as this spiritual contract was signed.
When he had some time, Bai Mo told Yanshi that Yue'ehuang had chosen a new guardian.
After all, when she mentioned what happened thirty years ago to everyone, she had already told everyone about her grudge with Yue Ehuang.
Therefore, Bai Mo has nothing to hide and hopes that these two can resolve their misunderstandings.
So she and Leng Qing returned to the Magic City together following the hollow willow.
Bai Mo and the other two returned to Yantai to rest and meet up with Lingling and the other two.
Several people stayed in Yantai temporarily. One reason was that Ding Yumian and Bai Mo had consumed a lot of energy and needed a relatively long time to recover.
Second, Bai Mo wanted to learn the Four Symbols Diagram. From Xiang Xuewu's reaction, he saw that this matter was interesting, and there seemed to be some hidden secrets in it.
In addition, he wanted to know if this famous collector of rare and odd things in the country had any tokens of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, preferably those from the southeast.
"Dean Xiang, can you tell me about the Four Symbols Diagram now? Are there any requirements for learning it?"
In the yard, Bai Mo and Xiang Xuewu sat opposite each other, holding a cup of tea, and Bai Mo said softly.
"Hmm" Xiang Xuewu murmured for a few times, and his pair of eyes looked at him strangely for several times, which made Bai Mo confused.
Finally, he said, "I can teach you this Four Symbols Diagram, but it's hard to pass it on easily. You should exchange it for something rare."
"Then can you first tell me why I can't practice on my own?" Bai Mo asked.
"Do you think you're the only one who's smart enough to have figured out some rules from the way I cast magic?"
Xiang Xuewu shook his head, looking indifferent.
"Among the three super-level Star Palace spells defined by the Holy City, only the Light-type Demon-Judgment Sword looks a bit similar. As for the others, haha~, even a dog would shake his head when seeing them!"
"When a magician reaches the super level, he will start to study magic that suits him. This is not the first time I have shown this Four Symbols Diagram to others, and many people have imitated it.
Either their cultivation level regressed or they were seriously injured, and in the end they came to me for an explanation! Especially those Westerners, they are so shameless!"
He said this indignantly. Even without the mental magic, Bai Mo could sense his disdain for the West. He did not say anything, just thinking that this person was just talking nonsense.
Although, what he said does make some sense.
"So, it's okay for you to study on your own, but just don't come looking for me when you die."
"So serious?!" Bai Mo couldn't help but be surprised.
"The construction of this magic will first cause a change in the position of our own galaxy in the spiritual universe. If we are not careful, everything will be lost. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Bai Mo thought about it and realized that he did feel the movement of his seven galaxies, so he stopped talking immediately.
Although he didn't know what would happen if these galaxies collided, Bai Mo didn't really want to know.
"Okay, I'll learn from you then."
Bai Mo said, thought about it, and then made a suggestion.
"You like weird things, but I don't have anything weird here. How about I sign an autograph for you?"
After all, I am a world school champion, the hope of Jiuzhou's future, and the current leader of the Spark Judgment. This is the first time I've signed an autograph for someone. This autograph should be very rare, right?"
Xiang Xuewu took a sip of water from the teacup, then stood up and was about to go out.
"Hey, wait, wait!"
Bai Mo hurriedly called out, although he was very sad that his autograph could not be delivered, he still immediately chose a backup plan.
"How about exchanging the feathers and branches on the totem with you?"
As he said this, he took out a feather and a willow branch that he had plucked from Jingwei and the hollow willow tree.
Xiang Xuewu then walked back and sat down. He glanced at the two things on the table and couldn't help but twitching his lips.
"You kid, you don't have anything good yourself, what on earth do the two totems like about you?!"
"It's a secret." Bai Mo blinked and shrugged.
"I am helpless too. I am used to letting go. I am not the kind of person who likes to keep all the packaging bags, paper boxes, wool, pen holders, etc."
The more he talked, the worse the Taoist looked. He stopped talking immediately and asked:
"Well, let's talk about the Four Symbols Diagram, ahem."
"To cultivate this, you need to evolve in your heart. It would be best if you have a spiritual system. If not, you need to understand some principles in advance so that you know how to arrange the four symbols and isolate yourself from some perceptions. Therefore, you must first experience the illusion."
As Xiang Xuewu spoke, a bright light appeared on his body. The fluctuations of his mind unfolded in his body according to a certain rhythm, slowly spreading to Bai Mo's body.
"Relax your mind and don't resist. Only after you have experienced these three illusions can you practice the Four Symbols Diagram."
Hearing this, Bai Mo did not resist and allowed the mental fluctuations to affect his body. However, he vaguely felt that the name of this triple illusion was a little familiar.
However, the mental rhythm of Xiang Xuewu was getting stronger and stronger, and when he was about to be led into the mental illusion, a completely opposite rhythm suddenly flashed from Bai Mo, directly interrupting the introduction process.
Xiang Xuewu was also stunned. He immediately stopped his mental fluctuations and looked at Bai Mo.
At the same time, Ding Yumian, who was cutting flowers with Chen Ying at the edge of the flower garden, also turned her head and looked over.
Bai Mo opened his eyes, and the bright light of the soul emanated from his eyes. A spiritual wave slowly emanated from his body, and then disappeared.
Ding Yumian's eyes suddenly turned crystal clear white, and the power of the soul enveloped Bai Mo's body. Suddenly, he saw a flash of spiritual light in the sea of his soul, and then it completely dissipated.
'What is this? It looks familiar.'
She muttered to herself and then exited this state. On the other side, Xiang Xuewu said in surprise:
"One Yuan Seal, you are actually the same person as me, then why are you asking me to learn the Four Symbols Diagram?!"
Bai Mo closed his eyes and frantically organized the memories and knowledge that suddenly appeared in his mind.
Just now, he suddenly felt as if something was broken in the sea of his soul.
Then a bunch of scattered knowledge continued to emerge, such as Xiaobai, Master, and so on, as well as Qimen Bagua, Zhoutian Numerology, Five Elements, and the Three Enlightenment of Bajie.
A series of knowledge such as Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, etc. continued to emerge. At first, Bai Mo thought that the old immortal was up to something and wanted to take over his body.
Although there is no such thing in the magical world, what if it is an alien demon like him?
Then, Bai Mo reacted again——
Damn, aren't these memories what I learned in the illusion of that master after I got the damn expired mind scroll of the Black Church in Bo City and entered the mind illusion? !
Later, when he woke up from the illusion, he didn't remember any of those ghost things. At that time, he just felt that the illusion didn't teach him anything at all, it was all hallucination.
What are these things that suddenly appear now? If they really exist, then why did he only think of them now!
When the illusion collapsed, I asked the old ghost and he said it would not have any impact. It turned out that old guys were not trustworthy, and their eyelashes were empty.
Well, but that illusion, I later heard from Lingling, is called a triple illusion.
He asked why it sounded so familiar.
After a while, Bai Mo opened his eyes. Although he didn't know what was going on, he felt that the Taoist priest in front of him should know.
"Dean Xiang, what the hell is this? Why did it suddenly break?"
"How are you?" Ding Yumian asked. Bai Mo shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then looked at Xiang Xuewu again.
"You have a Yuan mark on your body!" Xiang learned martial arts.
Bai Mo looked puzzled, "What is that?"
Seeing his confused face, Xiang Xuewu was also confused. Logically, since he had the mark, he should have learned the corresponding diagram. Why did Bai Mo seem to know nothing?
"Have you ever been hit by a triple illusion before?" Xiang Xuewu asked after seeing his expression.
"Yes, I have been."
Bai Mo nodded and slowly recounted that experience as well as his own experiences in fantasy.
Hearing this, Xiang Xuewu nodded slightly, "That's it, it's the routine of the Yiyuan School. They like people with such determination, but it may be that the scroll is too old, and the inheritance part has dissipated."
Bai Mo stared at him silently. He looked old and mysterious.
"Haha, since you have been chosen for a long time, you are still the same kind of people as us. It is not my turn to teach you the Four Symbols Diagram or the One Yuan Diagram. You don't have to go through the Triple Illusion again."
"Dean Xiang, if you don't explain clearly, I will take back this totem. I didn't learn anything anyway."
Xiang Xuewu quickly stopped him, a smile on his face, "Hey, that's wrong. If you don't use the tuition fee, you can use it as a guide fee. How can you take back something you gave away?"
Bai Mo poured himself a glass of water but not for him.
"Then please tell me quickly. There are a lot of strange things in my head now."
"The Four Symbols Diagram was not created by me, but I learned it from somewhere else. The One Yuan Diagram I just told you about is the same, it's all from there."
As Xiang Xuewu spoke, his eyes revealed reminiscence and a hint of sadness on his face.
"If I were to explain the origin of this Four Symbols Diagram to you, it would be a long story."
"It's okay, I have time, take your time." Bai Mo remained calm and lifted the teapot to fill his cup.
"Since you have the mark, you are one of us. It's okay for me to tell you about these things that have been passed down by word of mouth. You just need to remember them and not spread them easily."
Hearing this, Bai Mo naturally agreed, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to talk."
Seeing this, Xiang Xuewu took a sip of the tea in the cup and slowly asked a question:
"What do you think the earliest magic in Kyushu was like?"
In an instant, Bai Mo's eyes narrowed, his eyebrows moved, and he uttered three words.
"Naturalism?!"
"Oh?! You know about the Natural School? It seems I can say a lot less. Why don't you tell me first how much you know about the Natural School."
In an instant, Xiang Xuewu's eyes lit up, and he looked serious and asked in detail.
Bai Mo groaned for a moment, thinking about what he had learned about the Naturalists, mostly how they awakened and their magical performances.
So there was nothing to hide, and he slowly began to talk, "I don't know much either. The Natural School should be the origin of Kyushu magic. They awaken by understanding the nature of heaven and earth."
After listening to Bai Mo's story, Xiang Xuewu nodded slightly.
"It's not easy for you to know this. But most of these are about the origin of naturalism. In fact, in the pre-Qin period, naturalism was just a name we used to distinguish it from Western magic.
Internally, we are divided into many factions based on our own ideas and principles, and different main perceptions of magic, such as the well-known Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism.
The term "Hundred Schools of Thought" mentioned in history books in middle schools originated from that time. It was a brilliant era. Kyushu magic was unprecedentedly strong and prosperous. It was also from that time that Kyushu magic gradually declined.
Xiang Xuewu shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention the reason for the decline, as if it couldn't be mentioned here, and continued to talk about the Four Symbols Diagram.
"The natural awakening system of the natural awakening of heaven and earth is not like it is now, where one system is awakened at each stage. I don't know the details. Many things have been blurred long ago if they could be passed down.
The Four Symbols Diagram actually originated from the Taiji Bagua Diagram, which was realized by a naturalist predecessor. Legend has it that he observed the sun, moon, and stars for decades and awakened eight magics of different attributes in succession.
At this point, Xiang Xuewu's eyes showed admiration, and Bai Mo and Ding Yumian also began to listen attentively.
Regardless of whether this incident really happened or not, it is fascinating in itself.
"Which senior created the secret method of Tai Chi Bagua Diagram in order to perfectly coordinate and use the eight systems he had comprehended and exert the greatest power?"
"Later, someone discovered that if Tai Chi was only practiced, it could also play a huge role. As for the power of the eight directions of the Eight Diagrams, it could be replaced by four different forms of power. That is, the four directions and four phases, so this diagram gradually passed down."
Hearing this, Bai Mo nodded slightly, thinking that this Four Symbols Diagram should have evolved from the Tai Chi Bagua.
"Later, the Star System was gradually established, and more and more people were unable to realize the awakening of heaven and earth on their own. However, the practice of the secret method was not a problem, and the Tai Chi method was passed down. It was gradually divided and evolved, and there were the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Diagram, the Four Symbols Diagram, and the Bagua Diagram, which has only been successfully practiced by one person so far."
Xiang Xuewu sighed softly, as if he was lamenting the decline of the heritage, or marveling at the wisdom and talent of some predecessor.
But Bai Mo discovered that he did not mention the One Yuan Diagram. According to Taoism, One Yuan is the beginning, so One Yuan should be the first to appear. Why didn't he mention it now?
He asked without hesitation, "What about the one-yuan chart? What's going on?" (End of this chapter)
