Lando is also somewhat interested in the operating mode of the Red and Black City.
Although there is still nearly a thousand years before the 'celestial change' mentioned by the God Lord, it seems that this time is enough for him to complete self-improvement.
However, for Lando, the speed of improvement is naturally as fast as possible.
The only doubt is that what Red and Black City mainly draws from should be the qualifications of the deceitful path. He is still not sure whether to integrate this system into his own path.
However, this does not prevent him from conducting some research first!
Thinking of this, Lando walked towards the depths of the red and black city.
The road is quite prosperous. Even though this is a strange city, because there are more humans living there, it has its own set of default rules.
Strictly speaking, this strange city has no owner, but based on streets, various forces are intertwined, and all kinds of visible and invisible competition can be considered fierce.
After all, wherever there are people, there are ‘jianghu’!
The streets are like a maze, and there will always be times when there is no path, like now.
Lando had been walking along the area with red lanterns for a long time, but a large area deeper into the city center belonged to black lanterns. After walking around for a while, he still couldn't get in.
He raised his eyebrows, ignored the rules of the red and black city, and stepped directly into the black lantern area that was extinguished at this time.
Many people who saw this scene showed expressions of surprise or ridicule.
Someone looked unbearable and shouted: "Little brother, it's still daytime, don't step into the black lantern area, and that direction leads to the inside of the red and black city. The inner area is not only more dangerous, but there are also no people."
!”
Hearing this, Lando stopped, turned to look at the middle-aged man who reminded him, nodded to him in a friendly manner, and then continued to move forward.
"Why?!"
The middle-aged man originally saw Lando stop and thought that the latter had listened to his words. Unexpectedly, Lando just nodded and continued to move forward. After such a delay, he had disappeared.
Someone sarcastically said: "Zhong Ji, you are still such a good person, but it's a pity that you can't persuade me with good words..."
Listening to the vague words coming from behind, Lando looked calm and unmoved.
When he stepped into the black lantern area, the world seemed to be divided. The red lantern area, which was clearly close at hand, seemed to become extremely far away.
The world became dark, and I could barely see the road ahead.
The sound of "rustling" kept coming from every corner of the shadows, accompanied by an omnipresent sense of spying. It seemed that there were countless eyes looking at Lando, and they all contained strong malice!
The black lantern hanging on the house automatically swayed without any wind, as if it were an extremely hungry cub waiting to be fed, exuding greedy desire.
Lando calmly stretched out a finger, and the power of Junzi Sword was aroused, turning into a ray of neutral and peaceful light.
With a flick, the light flew out and turned into a gentle sun, illuminating the entire street.
The 'demon monster' in the shadow was illuminated by the light and immediately let out a sharp scream.
The swinging black lanterns also stopped moving, as if they had always been dead.
I continued moving forward without taking it seriously, and when I left this street, I entered a new red lantern area again.
This place is obviously much deserted than before. Although the red lanterns are on, there are no pedestrians. Most of the houses have their doors closed, and it seems that no one lives there.
There were a few people in the room, and the room with the door open heard the movement on Lando's side and looked towards him.
When they saw him walking out of the black lantern area, they all had ghostly looks on their faces, and closed the door tightly with their expressions changed greatly.
Suddenly, the whole street seemed even more deserted.
Ignoring this, Lando moved on.
As he walked closer to the center of the city, he gradually could no longer see any other human beings, instead he saw all kinds of strange and rampant things.
And not only in the areas where the lanterns are out, but also in the areas where the lanterns are on, there are weird presences, but the latter are relatively weaker.
The distorted rules are gradually strengthening, the world is gradually separated from the outside world, there is no longer any distinction between day and night, and all kinds of pollution are increasing exponentially.
When Lando was about two-thirds of the way into the red and black city, just the strange power surrounding him was enough to cause ordinary people to be instantly corroded and twisted into terrifying monsters.
Moreover, the weirdness that exists here is even crazier, and it can no longer be frightened or scared away by the breath of Gentleman's Sword.
So, Lando’s solution is...
"Buzz!~"
A sword light pierced the sky and destroyed the world in a flash!
Lando slowly retracted the Tribulation Sword. The road in front of him leading to the center of the red and black city was clear. All streets, houses, and strange things were all turned into ashes and disappeared under this sword.
This is the power of breaking the rules contained in the Tribulation Sword.
No matter what twisted rules you have, no matter how weird you are, you can break them all with one sword!
The reason why we didn't use this trick at the beginning was naturally because there were still humans living on the road ahead.
At this time, the red and black city had become quiet, and Lando could even feel the fear and surrender emanating from the former, as if it was a frightened little beast, trembling.
Vaguely, he could already see the core of the city.
When he walked in, he saw a five-meter-tall strange thing that was still beating like a heart. It was the real core of the red and black city.
This huge heart is half red and half black. It has countless blood vessels that go deep into the ground and continue to spread outward, covering every corner of the city.
Lando looked at it carefully, just when he wanted to further study this heart trick...
Wisps of red and black light floated out from the heart artifact and condensed into a throne in front of him. At the same time, a piece of information was transmitted.
Lando was stunned for a moment, showing surprise.
This turned out to be... the throne of the city lord!
Each trick has its own rules and weaknesses. Within the scope of their rules, they will be extremely powerful and can even fight at several levels. However, as long as their weaknesses are understood and mastered, they may become vulnerable.
The same is naturally true for the Red and Black City.
For a city, it is natural to need a city lord!
In the past, there was no city lord in the Red and Black City because no one could get close to the core of the city.
But once someone gets close to the heart trick, it will condense into the city lord's throne. As long as you sit on it, you can completely control this strange city.
These are the rules of the Red and Black City.
Of course, trying to do this...is difficult!
On the road, there are not only countless weird things born in the red and black city, but also the twisted space rules. If you are not careful, you will be trapped in it, and then what is waiting is endless weird attacks.
After understanding the cause and effect, Lando chuckled and sat on the throne of this strange city without hesitation.
Suddenly Lando sensed a mechanical and twisted, chaotic and extremely crazy will, connected to himself.
If you are under the influence of this will for a long time, I am afraid that even a strong man in the Mahayana realm will have his soul gradually polluted and become distorted and crazy!
The strength of this will is closely related to the number of weird things in the city.
However, for Lando, this is like a breeze blowing on his face, without any impact.
The strange will of the red and black city, in the face of the strange rules that were being nurtured in his body, was like the gentle breeze and drizzle meeting the ever-changing storm on the sea, unable to stir up even a single wave.
Following the connection, Lando went deep into the core of the Red and Black City and learned more about this strange thing.
There are many types of weirdness, rules, wisdom, items... Red and Black City undoubtedly belongs to the item category.
It itself does not have much intelligence. Before it has a master, it will only operate according to certain established rules.
And when Lando becomes its master, he can fully unleash its full capabilities.
The most basic one is that, as the city lord, he can add new ‘laws’ to the red and black city!
The so-called ‘laws’ are the rules that everyone except the city lord must abide by after entering the red and black city.
For example, Lando stipulated that all those who enter the red and black city will lose their cultivation.
So no matter whether you are immortal, martial or divine, as long as your individual strength cannot transcend the constraints of the red and black city, you will lose your cultivation the moment you enter the city and become a mortal. You can only recover after leaving the red and black city.
For another example, Lando stipulates that fighting is prohibited in the red and black city.
Then any form of fighting will be suppressed by the red and black city.
Unlike the divine realm of Shinto or the ghosts of ghosts, which can only simply strengthen themselves and weaken the enemy, the red and black city can be adjusted at the level of rules, which is more similar to the kingdom of gods in the arcane universe.
Through the advantages and restrictions of interconnected rules, you can exert power far beyond your own level!
Of course, based on the tradition of trickery, any rule has its limitations and weaknesses, even the formulated 'law' is no exception.
In other words, the more 'laws' Lando formulates, the more restrictions and weaknesses will arise in the Red and Black City. Some of these restrictions and weaknesses are directed at the Red and Black City itself, and some are directed at the 'laws' formulated by Lando.
'.
How to achieve maximum results at minimum cost is also something worthy of in-depth study.
After playing for a while, Lando found the novel experience quite interesting.
However, he did not forget his primary purpose. After directly ordering the Red and Black City to maintain the status quo, he prepared to leave.
In fact, a large amount of lamp oil made of strange condensation has gathered in the red and black city.
This is a general resource that can improve the trickery, and can also be used for the development of the red and black city itself. However, because there was no city lord before, the red and black city, in addition to nurturing a strange guardian city of sufficient scale, has been accumulating the rest.
Come down.
These are of no use to Lando now, so just save them for now.
With Lando's departure, the core of the red and black city returned to peace. Because he had extracted the remaining rules of destruction from the Tribulation Sword, the path that had been cut out was restored to its original state like a movie rewinding.
The people living in the red and black city did not know that in just a short period of time, this strange city had a new owner!
Walk, walk, walk.
With the guidance of the small iron sword, Lando is getting closer and closer to Supreme Elder Dugu.
Based on the direction, he was almost certain that the lonely Supreme Elder should be among the strange clouds and mist in the sky.
Because he didn't know what was in those strange clouds, Lando had no intention of entering them rashly.
On the way, if he encounters some powerful and intelligent weirdos, he will take action to capture them. One is to break them down so that he can learn more about the weird ways, and the other is to see if they know any information about the weird clouds.
The first point is making great progress. With a deeper understanding of the deception, Lando feels that it is not entirely incompatible with his own path of all things, and may even be able to form a complementary effect of good and strange, but it seems that some key points are missing at present.
Sexual things.
The second point is not very smooth. There is very little information about the strange clouds and mists. It seems that the strange things above the clouds and the strange things on the ground belong to two separate worlds.
All I know is that it is the territory of the Lords of Weirdness, and there are countless weirdos that are so powerful that it is unimaginable, and they are all the minions of the Lords of Weirdness.
And the so-called Lord of Weirdness is the supreme being among the weird!
This piece of information coincides with Lando's previous speculation. The only person who can do such a big thing is the powerful Weird Lord.
I just don’t know who, or who, specifically wrote it.
As the distance gets closer, the guidance of the small iron sword becomes less accurate, or in other words, it can only guide the approximate direction from the beginning.
It seems that he can't get much information, and with the analysis during this period, Lando has a deeper understanding of the mysterious ways and has stronger control, so he is no longer waiting, but is preparing to enter the strange clouds and mist to explore.
The strange aura on his body changed and adjusted, and began to fall off a cliff. After a while, it became vague and non-existent.
Lando turned into an illusory shadow and flew towards the clouds and mist in the sky.
As he got closer, he could clearly feel a huge pressure that was getting stronger and stronger. This pressure was especially aimed at the weird ones, making it impossible for the weird ones on the ground to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
When he broke through the obstacles and entered the lowest layer of clouds and mist, it was like entering another world, and the pressure suddenly dissipated.
Lando looked around. The environment here was completely different from the Tiangui State below. It was like an independent void filled with light clouds and mist.
These clouds and mist are condensed by strange forces, but they are full of chaos and pollution. Even if his Vientiane Path wants to break them down, it will take a lot of effort.
When Lando took out the small iron sword to guide the direction again, his expression changed slightly.
Because, the direction pointed by the small iron sword unexpectedly changed. Although it still pointed upward, it was completely different from the area it pointed to on the ground before.
Lando looked up at the higher cloud layer. After sensing it for a moment, Lando looked astonished.
The void world composed of these layers of clouds and mist is actually in a state of 'flow'.
However, this 'flow' is also relative to other cloud and mist layers.
For the ground in Tianguizhou, the clouds and mists in the sky are eternally still.
In this case, there is no need for him to stay at the bottom any longer. The top priority is to find the cloud layer where Elder Dugu is, and then consider other things.
