“If I need to escape when facing a locked divine demon spirit, then all my years of training as a trial-taker will be in vain.” Li Xiu said calmly.
"How long have you been practicing?" Li Qingyi was a little amused when she heard Li Xiu say this.
She had been very close to the people in Courtyard No. 7 for some time before, and had heard a lot about Li Xiu. She knew that it had not been long since Li Xiu became a trial-taker.
But listening to Li Xiu's tone, it seemed as if he had been practicing for his entire life.
Li Xiu stared at the demon and said, "No matter which path you take, the time you spend practicing is secondary. What really determines the level of practice is understanding. Some people have played the piano for their entire lives, but the rhythm they play is just a rigid rhythm. Some people have just started learning the piano, but the sound they play is very touching. The word 'cultivation' does not rely on endurance, but on the world in your heart. I have my own world in my heart, so I can achieve enlightenment with just one thought."
Li Qingyi stared at Li Xiu in a daze. Such remarks, which were close to arrogance, made her feel very strange.
Although this statement makes some sense, it is a bit naive for those who really know the business.
Enlightenment is indeed important, but it is based on a certain foundation. If the foundation is not laid, there is no way to talk about enlightenment.
As an E-level trial-taker, no matter how thoroughly you understand, you will be dead if you meet a super spirit. It has nothing to do with how much you understand, it’s just that you haven’t accumulated enough.
Although Li Xiu's words were a bit shallow, for some reason, Li Qingyi felt inexplicably powerful when she heard them, which made her feel an indescribable sense of security.
"I know you are very good, but there are some things that cannot be solved by understanding alone. You don't spend enough time studying, and you don't accumulate enough knowledge. It's useless even if you understand a lot. It's like practicing calligraphy. No matter how rich your theoretical knowledge is, if you can't even write straight horizontal and vertical lines, how can you write well? Those true masters of calligraphy must first learn to write straight horizontal and vertical lines. Only after laying a solid foundation can they create freely. Those who learn to run before learning to walk are mostly frauds who steal the world..." Li Qingyi originally intended to persuade Li Xiu to leave first, but as she spoke, she talked more.
Before she could finish her words, the smaller ice spirits in the deep pit had already flown up again one by one. Hundreds of them were like dragons, spewing out terrifying icy breath, covering the sky like a tide and heading towards Li Qingyi.
The power of Li Xiu and Li Qingyi was affected by the divine light of truth, but these ice spirits were not affected. The icy breath rushed directly towards Li Qingyi.
Light was blooming from Li Qingyi's body, and she was ready to fight to the death.
Suddenly, she saw a flash of light in front of her eyes, and Li Xiu unexpectedly appeared in front of her, with red and blue light blooming from his body, and the magic light all over his body flickered.
"About learning... it's as easy as pie for me..." Li Xiu said calmly in the face of the icy breath that was as overwhelming as a tsunami. He raised his hands and red and blue light swirled out.
Li Qingyi couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw that Li Xiu actually wanted to use his own strength to fight against the icy breath of so many ice demons.
Although Li Xiu used the power of Casting Soul, there were also Casting Souls among these Ice Demon Spirits. With so many Ice Demon Spirits working together to attack, even if Li Xiu's Casting Soul was in the third form, it would be difficult to match it. What's more, she watched Li Xiu's Casting Soul take shape, so it should still be only the first form. How could it be able to compete with so many Casting Soul-level Ice Demon Spirits?
Even if Li Xiu's light energy could withstand the combined attack of so many ice spirits, under the illumination of the divine light of truth of the divine spirit, his light energy could not penetrate at all and would just circle around. What use would it be?
Li Qingyi felt that Li Xiu's behavior was a little too emotional, but deep down she didn't think Li Xiu was such a fool. It was just that she couldn't think of any more reasonable explanation for Li Xiu's behavior.
Li Xiu stood in front of Li Qingyi and waved his hand across. Red and blue light flashed like a rainbow, as if he had drawn a rainbow in front of him.
His power failed to hit the tsunami-like icy breath, but was drawn aside by the power of the divine light of truth, flowing in a circular shape.
Watching his light energy flow to the side, Li Xiu was not panicked. It seemed that everything was under his control, and his palm continued to emit red and blue light.
The rainbow-like red and blue lights blocked the tsunami-like icy breath, and a strange scene occurred.
The terrifying icy breath was actually caused by the red and blue light to rotate together, as if it was being drained. The terrifying icy breath was drawn along the rainbow in Li Xiu's hand and flowed along the circle.
"This...how did they do this..." Li Qingyi widened his eyes, looking at the tall and strong figure in front of him in disbelief.
“The power that makes you uncomfortable is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes, these forces that cause you great trouble may become your most powerful helper.” The power that Li Xiu mentioned was naturally the divine light of truth of the divine demon spirit.
The divine light of truth controlled by the divine demon spirit does not affect the ice demon spirits, but the influence of the power of the divine light of truth on Li Xiu is utilized by Li Xiu.
Since the rules of the Divine Light of Truth allowed its light energy to move in a circular path, he simply followed the rules of the Divine Light of Truth and used his light energy to directly draw an arc. The rules of the Divine Light of Truth made the arc he drew stronger, which in turn became a help to him. He used the power of rotation to forcibly divert the tsunami-like icy breath away.
In front of Li Xiu, red and blue light guided the icy breath to rotate rapidly, like a huge aperture with an almost the same diameter as the deep pit, rotating at a crazy speed.
Li Xiu continuously emitted red and blue light, pushing the light circle to become larger and rotate faster. The icy breath and icy light that the frightened ice spirits spewed out were all sucked into the light circle, making the energy of the light circle become more and more terrifying, and the rotation speed became faster and faster.
The ice monsters that originally attacked Li Xiu and Li Qingyi were instead trapped inside the increasingly terrifying halo.
"That works too!" Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu in a daze.
"Nothing is impossible. As long as the world in your heart is broad enough, everything is possible." Li Xiu said, and suddenly threw the immortal chopsticks in his hand out with all his strength.
The moment the Changsheng Treasure Chopsticks were used, they were affected by the power of the Divine Light of Truth and deviated from the trajectory of Li Xiu's attack.
But in the next second, a faint purple light emanated from the Longevity Chopsticks, which withstood the power of the divine light of truth and flew into the circle of light.
boom!
The disruption caused by the Changsheng Baochop caused the aperture, which was already on the verge of getting out of control, to suddenly deviate from its track.
It flew out, shaking and spinning like a derailed roulette wheel, instantly strangling the ice monsters that were close to it, and even crushing the icicles that were blocking it.
In the terrifying light explosion, the ultimate light bloomed on Li Xiu's body. He reached out and picked up Li Qingyi and rushed out of the deep pit, continuing to rush towards the distance without looking back.
At the same time Li Xiu rushed out, the Changsheng Treasure Chopsticks also flew out automatically, caught up with the running Li Xiu, and hovered beside him.
In the huge explosion of light, Li Xiu heard an angry roar, and then saw the exploding light circle being shattered. Waves of roars and the sound of chains continued to come from the deep pit.
Li Xiu did not stop at all. With the blessing of Casting Soul and Ultimate Light, his speed was faster than that of the Masked Emperor. In a moment, he had rushed out dozens of miles.
Although he did not sense that the demon spirit from the god position was chasing him, Li Xiu still ran for more than a hundred miles before stopping.
"It should be fine. I don't know who locked that guy on the ice pillar, otherwise we wouldn't have escaped so easily." Li Xiu looked back and saw that although the icy light was rising into the sky, there was no demon spirit coming out. He felt relieved.
"Put me down first." Li Qingyi in his arms said softly with blushing cheeks.
"Sorry, I forgot." Li Xiu then remembered to put Li Qingyi down from his arms, reached out and grabbed the immortal chopsticks floating beside him and put it away.
"That chopstick-like contract of yours can actually ignore the power of the divine light of truth. It should be a divine-level contract, right?" Li Qingyi was very curious about where Li Xiu got the divine-level contract.
"Probably." Li Xiu answered casually.
He didn't dare say anything careless about this matter. If Li Qingyi knew that Li Ming'er was her half-sister, who knew what the consequences would be.
"Since you have the deed to the divine throne, why didn't you use it earlier?" Li Qingyi asked with some confusion.
If Li Xiu had used the Divine Contract earlier, he wouldn't have had to fight so hard.
Li Xiu thought, "I have to be able to use it, too. The Immortal Chopsticks act like a big shot and don't listen to my commands at all. This time I just threw it out and let it fight against the power of the Light of Truth. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will play dead."
Of course Li Xiu would not explain these, he just glossed over them.
"My deity deed is not very useful. When we go to the Longevity Lamp, I'm afraid we won't be able to count on it. We have to rely on ourselves."
Li Qingyi thought for a while and said, "After seeing the demon spirit on the ice pillar, I am more certain that the demon spirits at the nine fire seeds should be the nine sons of the dragon. Even if they are genuine dragon sons, they must be related. The divine ice demon spirit in the deep pit should correspond to Jiaotu among the nine sons."
"The giant tortoise Ba Xia before and the Jiaotu now, their divine light of truth are all related to the abilities of dragon sons in myths and legends. According to this speculation, if the tiger guarding the ice platform really corresponds to Bi'an, then its divine light of truth is most likely an attribute related to prison. It may not be an easy task for us to blow out the lamp of immortality from it." Li Qingyi said.
"If that's the case, it's really troublesome. Let's go back and check first. Maybe it has already left." Li Xiu could only pray that Bi'an had left.
Unfortunately, things often don't go as planned. When they arrived near the ice platform, they saw the ice tiger still sleeping soundly on it from afar.
While Binghu was sleeping soundly, the two of them quietly went over to blow out the longevity lamp? Li Xiu and Li Qingyi didn't have the courage to do so, nor were they willing to take such a risk.
"What do you think?" Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu.
"I don't have any idea." Li Xiu said, spreading his hands.
"Didn't you say that as long as there is a world in your heart, everything will be fine?" Li Qingyi said with a smile.
"My heart is very small now. Not to mention the heaven and earth, even a small thing can't be accommodated." Li Xiu sighed.
He is not a real God and cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. He said that before because he had seen the characteristics of Jiaotu's Divine Light of Truth and knew how to deal with it.
Now he had no idea what capabilities this ice tiger's divine light of truth had, so how could he come up with any solution out of thin air?
Moreover, Jiaotu was locked up and could not rush out to kill him on its own. However, this Ice Tiger had no restrictions and it could rush out and kill him in a matter of minutes. Naturally, Li Xiu did not want to provoke it casually.
"In that case, we can only wait until it leaves." Li Qingyi said after thinking for a while.
"Then let's wait and see." Li Xiu didn't care. They had only been in the Nine Dragons Mysterious Ice Land for about ten days, and there were still about twenty days before the Trial Competition, so they were not in a hurry to go back.
Even if you are in a hurry to go back, you can't risk your life.
The Trial Contest can continue without him, but if he dies, everything will be over.
Li Xiu and Li Qingyi decided to fight the ice tiger. According to Li Qingyi, the trial participants who came here before did not see the ice tiger-like demon spirit on the ice platform, which meant that it would not stay here forever and would leave eventually.
As time went by, Binghu showed no intention of leaving. Li Xiu was really bored, so he decided to go to Jiaotu again.
Anyway, Jiaotu was imprisoned on the ice pillar in the deep pit, and its divine light of truth seemed to be restricted. It was very strong in the deep pit, but much weaker outside the deep pit.
As long as Li Xiu doesn't enter the deep pit, it will be difficult for the pepper turtle to kill him.
Li Qingyi continued to guard the ice tiger over there, while Li Xiu went to the deep pit alone. He saw from afar that many of the ice pillars in the pit were broken, and there were not many living ice spirits left. Jiaotu was still chained and coiled on the ice pillar.
It was actually completely unharmed, which showed that the terrifying out-of-control aperture could not hurt it.
Li Xiu looked at the chain that locked Jiaotu from a distance and found that it seemed to be carved from jade, not a metal chain.
"Who would use a jade chain to lock up Jiaotu for no reason? What does he want to do by locking Jiaotu here?" Li Xiu looked at it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he slowly moved towards the edge of the deep pit.
When he got close to the deep pit, Li Xiu took out the Nine Dragons Light, injected light energy into it, and shone it towards the pepper pattern on the icicle.
Under this light, the part of the pepper tortoise's body that was illuminated by the beam emitted a red glow, like blood crystal.
Jiaotu was awakened by Li Xiu, and immediately became furious when he saw Li Xiu. The divine light of truth burst out from its body again, but unfortunately it couldn't get out by itself. The remaining little ice demons rushed out, screaming and pounced on Li Xiu. Ice light was scattered all over the sky, as if they wanted to tear Li Xiu apart and eat him.
"You can't get out, and you can't even release your soul. Why are you so fierce there? Today I'm going to use your children and grandchildren as my food." Li Xiu directly summoned Bleeding Linglong to block in front of him.
After Xue Linglong came out, Li Xiu directly ordered: "I will smash them all."
Who knew that when Xue Linglong stretched out his hand, what appeared in his hand was not the blood-colored hammer that Li Xiu had seen before, but a blood-colored soul-casting umbrella.
The blood-colored umbrella opened, covering the figures of Xue Linglong and Li Xiu. The icy breath and icy light hit the blood-colored umbrella, and the blood-colored umbrella actually blocked all the icy light.
No matter how fiercely the icy breath and icy light outside hit, the blood-colored umbrella remained motionless. More than a hundred ice spirits outside bombarded it for more than ten minutes but were unable to break the defense of the blood-colored umbrella.
"Oh my god, Xue Linglong actually has this skill!" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He roughly guessed that this should be Xue Linglong's skill seven weapons.
If the bloody hammer is counted, Xue Linglong has only displayed two weapons so far. I don't know what his other five weapons are.
However, it seems that Xue Linglong has a very high IQ. He chooses to use weapons based on his opponent, rather than just using whatever weapon Li Xiu orders him to use.
If he wants to see other weapons, he will probably have to wait until he meets a suitable opponent.
A group of little demons could not break Xue Linglong's blood umbrella, and the pepper map inside could hardly affect the outside of the deep pit. Li Xiu used the Nine Dragons Camera to observe unscrupulously.
Just as he thought, there were no red lines on the little ice monsters, and the body of the pepper tortoise was the same color of red as the giant turtle, indicating that the dragon blood was very abundant.
However, Li Xiu looked at it everywhere but couldn't find any place where blood vessels gathered on its body.
"Could it be that these hybrids don't have a single point where their bloodlines converge?" Li Xiu began to doubt his previous judgment.
There are bloodlines intersecting on the glacier crystal worm's body because its bloodline is pure enough. It is hard to say whether these hybrid species have reverse scales.
Li Xiuzhao looked at it for a long time and suddenly remembered something Li Qingyi had told him.
According to the legend, the dragon son Jiaotu should be holding a ring in its mouth, but Li Xiu did not see any ring in its mouth.
"Its reverse scale must be inside its mouth, right?" Li Xiuzhao looked at Jiaotu's face, which was also blood red, but there was nothing special about it.
Perhaps because the light beam dazzled his eyes, or perhaps because he was extremely angry, Jiaotu roared at Li Xiu.
The Nine Dragon Light beam in Li Xiu's hand just shone into its mouth, and he immediately saw a strange, glowing symbol on its upper jaw.
Li Xiu had seen that strange symbol on Li Qingyi's unbreakable ice shield.
Li Xiu looked at the symbol and couldn't help but think: "No way, could it be that those symbols are where the blood of these dragons meet, and where their reverse scales are?"
When Li Xiu saw the giant turtle burst out with the divine light of truth before, the divine light of truth on the light symbol was the strongest, so he didn't think about it in this direction at all.
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that the most special part of the giant turtle and the pepper turtle are these light symbols.
"The strongest point is also the most fatal weakness. This is too disappointing!" Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
If these light symbols are where the dragon's reverse scales are located, if he wants to hit these light symbols, he must break the opponent's divine light of truth head-on. Li Xiu asked himself if he had such ability.
"Is there any way to bypass the Light of Truth and hit the light talisman?" Li Xiu thought to himself as he stared at the furious Jiaotu.
