Chapter 381: The Way of Gain and Loss, the Body of Tai Sui
The match between Xuanshui Taoist Academy and Lihuo Taoist Academy is one of the last two matches of the Taoist Academy Competition.
Today's competition is over, and the winner will challenge the previous champion, Qinghe Taoist Temple.
Even though it was only the penultimate game.
But most people feel that there is basically no suspense about the outcome of today's game.
Is Xuanshui Taoist Temple strong?
Able to defeat Tianjiu Daoyuan, who also has the combat power of Jindan stage.
The strength of Xuanshui Taoist Academy is naturally beyond doubt.
But things like strength and weakness have always been relative.
Xuanshui Taoist Academy is indeed strong, but that is compared with other Taoist academies.
As for the current Lihuo Taoist Temple.
The strength of Xuanshui Taoist Temple is just that.
Otherwise, why would Lu Chen be the only one left at Lihuo Taoist Temple while the others went back home directly?
Isn't it because they think they can defeat the entire Xuanshui Daoyuan just by relying on Lu Chen alone? For those who don't know the inside story, this is their judgment of the current situation of Lihuo Daoyuan.
This speculation is actually half correct.
That is, Lihuo Taoist Academy really believes that it can defeat the entire Xuanshui Taoist Academy by relying on Lu Chen alone.
The only difference is that the reason for leaving Lihuo Taoist Temple is different from what everyone thinks.
And because last time Lu Chen "destroyed" the dojo on the first floor of the Great Wilderness Tower.
As a result, the venue for this Taoist Academy Competition was moved to another location.
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 people who are concerned, this move by the Great Wilderness Tower has made them alert.
But now the arrow is on the string and they have to shoot.
If they missed this opportunity, they would have to wait till then to find such a good opportunity again.
Therefore, in the bustling dojo, some people began to do something quietly.
What they didn't discover was.
This new dojo looks the same as the previous one.
But there is one biggest difference.
That is the dojo where they are now, and there are many hidden Sumeru spaces around it.
Many people think that the spatial layout inside the Great Wilderness Tower is a structure similar to that of a stack of monks.
But in fact, the Great Wilderness Tower is one of the iconic buildings of the Immortal Alliance.
Its internal structure couldn't possibly be so simple.
The entire Dahuang Tower can actually be divided into three parts.
The first part is where the early stages of the Taoist Academy Competition take place.
The spatial structure there is indeed like a stack of people.
But this 'Arhat' is only in the same space.
The second part is the underground prison.
The spatial layout of this part is similar to the surface of the Great Wilderness Tower, both of which are located in the space of the real world.
The third part is the real core of the Great Wilderness Tower.
That is the place where the Great Wilderness Tower is used to imprison those demons and evil cultivators in the God Transformation Stage.
This place is a space where each individual entity exists independently.
It is a kind of alternative paradise.
You should know that the greatest characteristic of the Spirit Transformation Stage is the ability to transform one's body into the Tao.
If you want to imprison a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, the best way is to cut off their connection with the surrounding world.
There are many ways to do this, and two of them are the most useful.
One is to use special means to directly seal the body of the cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.
Prevent the release of their own magical powers.
This is equivalent to putting a layer of shackles on these Jindan stage monks.
Another method is to seal him in a special space where the power of heaven and earth cannot be sensed.
The Great Wilderness Tower uses two methods together.
Therefore, if viewed from the outside, there does not seem to be much difference between the Great Wilderness Tower and other tall towers in the Immortal Alliance.
But in fact, the spatial structure of the core area of the Great Wilderness Tower is more like a "magic cube".
The outermost layer of the Rubik's Cube is the real world.
The interior of the Rubik's Cube is a stack of special spaces.
There are many benefits to doing this.
One of the biggest advantages is that the location of prisoners can be changed at any time.
It makes it difficult for outsiders to accurately find the area where the prisoners are located.
In addition, the master of the Great Wilderness Tower has the ability to monitor the entire Great Wilderness Tower.
This allows her to move 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 tower master of the Great Wilderness Tower.
Fighting her in this place would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
This is also why the Immortal Alliance discovered Daqianshan’s actions.
But he pretended not to know and wanted to lead them into the Great Wilderness Tower.
There is no other reason, it is just that the Dahuang Tower is a very suitable place for ambush and divide the enemy.
In preparation for the upcoming war, many high-level monks have been quietly arranged in the Great Wilderness Tower.
These high-level monks were all found from outside the Wilderness State.
And the whole process was carried out in secret.
Make sure it won't leak out.
Therefore, the outside world has no idea about this.
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 thinks that the Great Wilderness Tower is impregnable.
It is impossible for anyone to break through, and the people imprisoned inside cannot escape either.
The thousands of years since the Great Wilderness Tower appeared have also proven this point.
This means that the layout inside the Great Wilderness Tower has not changed for a long time.
Many times, the fortress is not breached from the outside, but from the inside.
At this time, in a prisoner space in the Great Wilderness Tower.
The person imprisoned in this space is a thousand-year-old man.
“Almost there, almost there…”
The thousand-year-old man trapped in the golden barrier looked at the barrier in front of him with a strange smile on his face.
I saw that the sealing pillars standing around had some tiny cracks on their surfaces.
And in these cracks, many tiny black tentacles grew out.
These tentacles are very agile, as if they have their own life.
Constantly devouring the pillar of the seal.
Because the thousand-year-old man can steal the secrets to a certain extent and know some secrets in advance.
As a result, the Immortal Alliance often asked him to calculate some things.
From the time he was imprisoned to now, the thousand-year-old man has been imprisoned for a full three hundred years.
Three hundred years is enough time for mortals to reproduce for several generations.
Even for monks, 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?
Out of inertia, the Immortal Alliance subconsciously believed that the ability of the thousand-year-old man was to predict the future.
It is not surprising that this happens.
Because this was the ability that the Thousand-Year-Old Man displayed when he was first captured.
Always know the movements of the Immortal Alliance first.
If it weren't for Xiao's amazing strength and the 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 capture the thousand-year-old man.
After capturing the thousand-year-old man, the Immortal Alliance conducted many tests.
Limited by insufficient data.
As a result, they were eventually deceived by the thousand-year-old man.
I thought his greatest skill was to predict the future.
But in fact, predicting the future is just one of the methods used by 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, the thousand-year-old man can sacrifice his own lifespan in exchange for a certain degree of divine secrets.
Thereby achieving the effect of predicting the future.
This loss of intelligence can be made up by his own talents.
His talent, or bloodline ability, is the ability to gain extra lifespan by devouring other living beings.
That is to say, the thousand-year-old man had just come out and the accumulated life span was not much.
In order to avoid capture by the Immortal Alliance, he consumed a lot of his life.
Otherwise, Xiao was quite powerful at that time.
It is almost impossible to catch him.
Although the thousand-year-old man was caught.
But he never thought of 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 there.
And the means by which he escaped was his innate magical power...the way of gain and loss.
Wherever you gain, you must lose.
Although the Immortal Alliance obtained a lot of secrets from the thousand-year-old man, it gained considerable benefits.
But this process is not without cost.
On the surface, the thousand-year-old man helped the Immortal Alliance predict the future at the cost of his own lifespan.
The Immortal Alliance responded by reducing the sentence of the thousand-year-old man.
In fact, this is just a trick of the thousand-year-old man.
What he really got from the Immortal Alliance was actually precious "mana power".
Because every time the thousand-year-old man helps the Immortal Alliance complete a mission.
They would ask the other party to give them some spirit stones in advance as energy to activate their magic power.
The Immortal Alliance was naturally not unprepared for this.
They closely monitored the thousand-year-old man and made sure that he would completely consume all his magical powers after each prediction.
Back and forth, the Immortal Alliance would predict the spiritual stones that the thousand-year-old man would need each time.
There won't be too much doubt.
But in fact, what the thousand-year-old man consumed when he activated the Way of Gain and Loss was his own lifespan, not his magic power at all.
So where did the magic power transformed from the spirit stone go? This was naturally because the thousand-year-old man used the way of gain and loss to transform this part of the spiritual power into his own "Tao".
This method is a kind of hiding in the dark.
After all, cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage are beings who have transformed their bodies into the Tao.
Tao is itself.
Therefore, the thousand-year-old man has some more traces of "Tao" on him, as long as he hides it well enough.
It is difficult for outsiders to notice.
The thousand-year-old man used this method to temporarily store this magic power.
Although there will be considerable loss when it is converted into mana again.
But after three hundred years, the magic power stored by the thousand-year-old man has reached a very objective level.
Relying on this part of magic power, the thousand-year-old man quietly corroded the formation that imprisoned him.
Although he is unable to completely break the formation now.
But it has already preliminarily met its own requirements.
That is to gain partial control over this space.
As long as the timing is right.
He can transform himself into a Taoist, completely control this space, and then escape from the Great Wilderness Tower with this entire space.
That’s right, from the beginning the thousand-year-old man never thought of escaping from this space.
Not to mention whether he has the ability or not.
If there is any unusual movement in the space of this place, it will attract the attention of the Lord of the Great Wilderness Tower.
This makes the thousand-year-old man dare not act rashly.
But it is unrealistic to escape successfully without destroying this sealed space.
So the thousand-year-old man thought of another way.
The principle of this method is also simple.
If we consider the space where he is currently imprisoned as a whole.
So what the thousand-year-old man did was to install a few wheels in this space.
In this way, the entire space can be put into motion, achieving the effect of a small effort and achieving a great result.
As long as this sealed space is freed from the Great Wilderness Tower, the thousand-year-old old man will have successfully escaped.
I have to say, this method is very bold.
Because this not only requires the thousand-year-old man to have an excellent understanding of space.
Cooperation from outsiders is also needed.
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 Dahuang Tower will definitely react immediately and make the arrest.
If there is no help from outsiders, the thousand-year-old man wants to rely on himself and the entire space to avoid capture by the Great Wilderness Tower and the Immortal Alliance.
This is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
But it just so happened that the thousand-year-old man had already made arrangements before he was caught.
Because he figured out at that time that he simply couldn't afford the price of the Immortal Alliance's capture.
The thousand-year-old man used his remaining life span to calculate again.
What he was calculating this time was 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 so, there was indeed a chance for him to escape.
It just needs to be done at a specific time.
Just calculating this time, the thousand-year-old man has paid nearly 90% of his lifespan, which is equivalent to the lifespan of millions of people.
This shows how crucial this information is.
And it is precisely because we know an approximate time.
That's 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 had estimated three hundred years ago was getting closer and closer.
Thinking of this, the smile on the thousand-year-old man's face became brighter and brighter.
At the same time, a Tai Sui phantom began to appear around him.
That’s right, ‘Taisui’ is the true identity of the Thousand-Year-Old Man.
It is also his true body.
From the very beginning, the Thousand-Year-Old Man was not an evil cultivator.
But it was a transformed demon.
It’s just because Tai Sui’s method of change is too outstanding.
As a result, the Immortal Alliance was unable to reveal the true identity of the thousand-year-old man.
I just thought that the other party was an evil cultivator who practiced magic.
"When the time comes, the heaven will lend its strength, and the secrets of heaven... will be revealed."
After muttering a few words, the thousand-year-old man 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 Desolation Tower...
