Taoist Master of Fantasy World

Chapter 176 The choice of fate

"The choice of fate?"

Huan Xiu repeated it, paused for a few breaths, and then said, "What do you mean?"

Mu Qingyun said slowly: "All this starts with the interrogation of Ji Zicheng."

"Ji Zicheng's 'Secret Technique of Locking the Heart' is the 'Self-Loop Lock'; this method has been cracked once in person, so it has been completely broken and will not cause future troubles. But at the last moment of his soul search, But it is also quite hasty - because this person's mental strength is far less than expected, and it is also inconsistent with his cultivation level."

"If it had collapsed a quarter of an hour earlier, a lot of extremely valuable information might have been missed."

"At that time, an idea suddenly came to me - vulnerability may also be a weapon."

Su Jingrong whispered: "Fragility is also a kind of weapon... I understand what Qingyun's leader means; but such a person, with limited cultivation, may not be able to hold a big position."

Although Xu Zhenyun said nothing, he agreed with his "Aunt Su" in his heart.

The meaning of Mu Qingyun's words is not difficult to understand - if a person's spirit is much more fragile than Ji Zicheng's, and even reaches the point where his consciousness collapses within a few seconds of being soul-searched, then this becomes a secret. good idea.

But it is obvious that except for people like Ji Zicheng who major in Shinto and overextend their potential in order to practice certain magical powers, there will be a situation where "mental power does not match one's own cultivation level"; in most cases, a person's mental power There is always a positive correlation with his cultivation.

It's hard to say how "important" a person with such a weak mental power is.

Even if someone like Ji Zicheng "mutilates himself", he is still "weak" by a higher standard; if he is truly so weak that he cannot hold on to Soul Search for several breaths, then how can this person use his abilities?

Mu Xuan shook his head slightly and said slowly: "Although it is difficult to think about it, it is even harder to actually do it! Although this thing has a flashy name, it is extremely difficult to actually repair it."

"Could it be that Qingyun's first one really did it, and is it useful now?"

Mu Qingyun's lips moved slightly and her expression was serious: "Exactly."

At the same time, Su Jingrong sent a message to Xu Zhenyun to explain the "wonderful object" here.

As Xu Zhenyun perceives, the "curtain in the sky and the array on the ground are like a jigsaw puzzle" in the tower. Although the top and bottom are separated, nine people are sandwiched in the middle like sandwich biscuits, but they are actually "one thing".

This object is called "Xuanling Sky Curtain", and in essence, it is equivalent to a chaotic spiritual treasure.

The Immortal Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty, in addition to the supreme artifact Shenwu Tianping and the other eight prime ministers and generals who were awarded the title of "National Treasure", there are actually some who are not inferior in foundation and whose status is equivalent to the "Chaos Spiritual Treasure" Twelve or three pieces of Lingbao.

But when the treasure reaches the highest level, it must be consistent with the name and reality.It cannot be blessed by the name of the "Nine Great Treasures" of the Great Immortal Dynasty. Even though it has a good foundation, it is usually not called "Chaos Spiritual Treasure"; sometimes it is also called "Fake Chaos Spiritual Treasure".

This Xuanling Sky Curtain has an extremely long history and a rich background. Even compared to the eight national treasures, its background is enough to rank in the top three.But in terms of effectiveness, it’s pretty useless!

Strictly speaking, the purpose of this thing is to "search for souls".

As long as the person who is about to perform the "soul search" is placed in the center of the "sky curtain" and "earth element", the soul search object will be immediately reflected on the "sky curtain"; it is equivalent to being extracted in an instant; and the information in the person's consciousness will be Automatically classified and manifested into the image of stars.

In this person's consciousness, the more secret a thing is, the greater the amount of information, and the more important it is to the person, the bigger the "star" will be!

After the extraction is completed, even if the person dies immediately, it will not prevent all information from being obtained.

This object seems magical, but there are two problems: first, it can only be used by objects with "unimpeded spiritual consciousness"; in other words, if there is no way to break the blockage of one's spiritual consciousness, this treasure will not be of much use. .Second, it consumes a lot of money. Every time it is used, it must be nourished with a large amount of rare treasures.

And its function is actually aimed at the rather rare situation where "the spiritual consciousness is weak and ordinary soul searching methods cannot observe everything".

This treasure, due to its extremely rich foundation in physical appearance, was not nourished by the "fame" of the Immortal Dynasty, so it collapsed into four pieces 200 years ago.

Mu Qingyun explained the reason: "The memory blocking method of these nine people is self-circulating lock. Therefore, the first obstacle has been broken."

"As for the second level, once the 'self-loop lock' is cracked, the subtle power of protecting one's consciousness - which seems to come from the method of blood sacrifice - will be quietly leaked. And this Once the blessing is gone, his own spiritual consciousness will be in an extremely weak and decaying state; once the soul is retrieved, it will immediately disintegrate within ten breaths."

"That day, because of Ji Zicheng's case, I wanted to solve the secret locking method of 'using fragility as a weapon' on a whim, so I came up with the idea of ​​repairing the 'Xuanling Canopy'."

"With the great master's method, mixed with the Nine Paths and Ten Thousand Dharmas, there should be a method to restore it and extend its life for 500 years; it's just that finding this method is extremely difficult and far-reaching."

"After a little deduction at that time, I immediately found a way - every time I visualize and deduce, there is a 12-in-[-] chance of getting the method to repair this treasure. And this method of visualization and deduction, every day At most once." Xu Zhenyun's thoughts moved slightly, and there was no doubt that Mu Qingyun succeeded.

Mu Qingyun said calmly: "Taoism has reached its extreme level, and many times it's just luck. In fact, I don't have any intention of success - I just have fun to cultivate my mind and try my luck. After all, the so-called 'limited to once a day' The visualization and deduction can be completed in just ten breaths each time; it can be regarded as part of the practice."

Xu Zhenyun finally couldn't help but ask: "How many times has the First Master succeeded?"

Mu Qingyun said calmly: "This is the first time."

Everyone in the tower seemed to be shocked when they heard the words.

But Xu Zhenyun immediately discovered strangely that Mu Xuan, Su Jingrong, Huan Xiu, and Mu Xiuxin were not paying attention to Mu Qingyun; instead, everyone's eyes fell on him for a moment!
Even the person involved, Mu Qingyun himself, seemed to look at Xu Zhenyun with deep meaning.

"It was because I first uncovered the secrets in Ji Zicheng's heart that led to Mu Qingyun's ability to 'see the truth once it is revealed, and the path will be fulfilled' to completely break the 'self-loop lock'; therefore, it can be considered as unearthed." The first pot of gold', a great achievement?"

"That's not right. It was Mu Qingyun who wanted to solve the problem of 'using vulnerability as a weapon' on a whim; and it was Mu Qingyun who succeeded in an instant with a probability of 12. These most 'magical' places, It has nothing to do with me..."

Huan Xiu nodded in admiration and said: "Wonderful. It is well deserved to be called 'fate's arrangement'. This can be regarded as a great advancement due to the help of heaven."

With such a coincidence, although the soul search has not been completed, everyone will have confidence that there will be pioneering gains today!

Mu Qingyun closed her palms together, and a one-foot-sized spherical halo immediately emerged, encompassing her palms.

As the luster of this "spherical" illuminates the room, the "Xuanling Canopy" suddenly rotates; the way it activates is actually very similar to the external image of the Dajin Shrine——

The canopy above and the jigsaw puzzle below are staggered and rotating forward and backward!

After more than ten breaths, the nine people suspended in the air were also wrapped in a huge spherical bubble, and the clear luster flowed and shimmered; after a few breaths, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared on the blue "sky curtain"!
The stars twinkle.

There are stars of all sizes above each of the nine people!They are densely packed and vary greatly in size.But there are clear differences.

For eight of them, the "stars" appearing above their heads are all of the same size; the larger stars are about the size of a fist, or one or two, or two or three; the rest of the smaller stars are between marbles and stones. .

There was only one "middle-aged man" with a complexion of green and red, a lean figure with prominent ribs, and a face with smooth skin but four to six obvious lines. The stars above his head were extremely prominent——

The largest "star" is almost the size of a pumpkin; in addition, there are two eye-catching "stars" as big as the mouth of a bowl.In addition to these three "superstars" that are far larger than the other stars, there are five or six fist-sized stars...

Su Jingrong's eyes lit up and she said, "Sure enough, there is a profound secret!"

Although she has never come into contact with or used it, Su Jingrong is very familiar with all the secret treasures at the "Chaos Spiritual Treasure" level in Dajin.The size of the stars that evolve from this "Xuanling Sky Canopy" depends not only on the degree of secrecy of the buried "idea" itself, but also on the weight of the "content" itself.

For example, if each of the three great immortal dynasties buries a spy, although it is of vital importance to the life and death of the person involved, unless you have the "energy" that is related to the success or failure of the battle between the immortal dynasties, the upper limit is the size of a fist.

And being able to break through this size shows that the weight of the "content" itself has reached an extraordinary height!

The largest star is almost the size of a pumpkin; it’s incredible!

Without hesitation, Mu Qingyun made a seal with his hands hidden under the "spherical halo".

With a move of magical power, the largest pumpkin-sized "star" on the "canopy" suddenly exploded, filling the entire "canopy", forming a shocking picture——

I can’t tell what kind of space it is.

Looking from one direction alone, it seems that the morning sun is white and the sky is about to become bright; but not only in the east, but also in the other south, west, and north, the sky is pale, like the sunrise. Only the sky is dark, like iron. screen.

On the top of a majestic mountain that looked like an axe, ten people were lined up, dressed in black robes and wearing masks.The stature is very different in height and well-proportioned.

The mask is similar to the one worn by the golden-armored guards in "Liuhe Exquisite Tower"; as for the black robe on the body, there are five "cloud patterns" on the left and right -

Only by achieving the "Flawless Seal" can the cloud pattern appear on the forehead——

It is also similar to the pattern on Xu Zhenyun's iron rod.
