Lu Zhong looked at Baohua and fell into deep thought.
"In my opinion, fellow Taoist, why not go to the previous place and look for clues?"
"This is absolutely true! If you want to solve the problem, you must first find the source. If you are interested, fellow Taoist, I am willing to go with you." Hearing this, Guan Yuanzi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said.
"But, but -!"
When Baohua thought about it, her face turned pale.
For some unknown reason, she found that she had lost that memory. No matter how she recalled it at the moment, it seemed as if it had been completely wiped out from her soul, with no trace left.
Seeing Baohua looking like this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this how monks who transcend the tribulation and even higher levels suppress the strength of the combined monks? I thought that after reaching the combined state, I would have a little free capital. But I never thought that the strength gap between the big realms would not change because of this.
It is small, but it is expanding again with the influence of the pseudo-law!"
We were at a loss for a while, and everyone didn't know what to do.
At this time, Cheng Jian suddenly suggested:
"In my opinion, why not go deeper first? Maybe we can find a solution there. Also, I don't know if you have discovered it, but as we continue to go deeper, the erosion of time will become more and more serious."
"indeed......"
Lu Zhong nodded in agreement.
As a practitioner of the pseudo-laws of time and space.
His perception of time is much more sensitive than the rest of the team. He also knows that due to the influence of unknown entities, the flow of time is slowing down as he goes deeper into the Linghuan Mountains.
Based on this inference, I am afraid that when we actually reach the location of Jiuyuan Ganoderma, time will slow down to a rather terrifying level.
Fortunately for Lu Zhong, he could use his own strength to resist the erosion of the outside world.
It seems that Motoko and others may not.
However, he guessed that Guan Yuanzi, as the initiator, must have known about the situation here. On this basis, this person still organized this operation, and he was probably well prepared.
On the other side, Baohua cursed secretly when she heard Cheng Jian's suggestion.
But what’s surprising is.
At this moment, her arm, which had been affected by an unknown force and was gradually fading and disappearing at some point, unexpectedly returned to normal.
"Why is this happening? I obviously didn't do anything, how could I return to normal?"
Baohua was shocked in her heart, but faced with this iron-clad fact, with not much known information, it was difficult to judge anything. She could only keep her doubts in mind for the time being, with a wry smile on her face.
Guan Yuanzi and Cheng Jian on the side were also confused at this moment, not knowing what was going on.
Only Lu Zhong probably understood the reason.
"It seems that the truth is indeed as I suspected before. Baohua probably wandered into somewhere by mistake. When her body is in danger, it will also be fed back to the devil simultaneously."
Now that the trapped Baohua is temporarily out of danger, her demons will naturally be at peace.
This matter has come to an end for now.
Later, under the leadership of Guan Yuanzi.
Everyone started off again and flew in the direction of Jiuyuan Ganoderma.
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, two Jiazi passed by.
Just as Lu Zhong guessed before.
As everyone continues to go deeper into the Linghuan Mountains, the flow of time is also changing silently.
Being in it, Guan Yuanzi and others were almost unaware of it.
Only Lu Zhong.
He had tried to use his own power to fight against it, with mixed results.
The good news is that as long as you use the power of quasi-law to offset the time slowdown, you can reduce this effect. This will increase your strength to a certain extent, and you can use this to gain a huge advantage in fighting.
As for the bad news, the remaining power is too strong.
Lu Zhong made several attempts and found that with his current strength, he could not analyze it at all. If he wanted to use this to understand the ability to slow down time, it was naturally impossible to talk about it.
In a quiet room.
Lu Zhong's attempt failed again.
"Perhaps, you can wait until your strength improves and then come here to gain enlightenment."
He kept this in mind, but was planning to come again in the future.
After all, the perfection of the pseudo-law is directly related to whether it can advance to the Mahayana stage. Whether it is the Five Elements Law or other pseudo-laws, it must be guaranteed to be complete.
"The laws of time and space..."
When Lu Zhong thought of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
There is a way to bite off more than you can chew.
If he wants to meet the conditions for advancing to Mahayana, the effort required and the difficulties he may encounter in the future may be several times or even dozens of times that of monks of the same level.
"Is this the price of power?"
After extinguishing his distracting thoughts, Lu Zhong concentrated on recovering his magic power.
Put aside the factor of time flow rate.
The situation deep in the Linghuan Mountains is actually very similar to the wilderness outside. In such a vast area, there are large and small monster beast territories distributed according to strict levels of strength from high to low.
Occasionally, there will be relics of fighting skills dotted in this wild and secret realm.
Interestingly, the five people discovered traces of civilization more than once during their journey, both from the human race and from unknown races. Judging from the ruins submerged in the vast forest sea, they almost all
If it develops to a certain limit, it will encounter disaster.
And this is obviously the work of the real overlord monsters here.
In addition, Lu Zhong also discovered something.
That is, the monsters here, even if they reach the fourth level or even higher realms, will not transform. To be precise, there should be some force deep in the Linghuan Mountains that prevents the monsters from transforming.
The result of this influence.
It's just that the monsters here don't have much intelligence and act entirely on instinct.
It is precisely for this reason that although the five-person group was constantly attacked by various monsters during the journey, and even encountered several eighth-level monsters, they were still able to escape unscathed.
at this time.
A flash of fire flew from outside, but it was Guan Yuanzi delivering a message.
"Fellow Taoist Changhu, please take the time to come out of seclusion. I have invited three other Taoist friends to come to my retreat and discuss important matters with you."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing this, Lu Zhong stood up.
Thanks to the pseudo-laws of time and space and the special environment of the Linghuan Mountains, his consumption in the previous process was far less than that of others, so he has already recovered.
Open the door and go out.
After passing through several layers of restrictions, there is a wild jungle in front of you.
Primitive, without any trace of civilization.
After Lu Zhong went out, he flew more than a thousand miles to the west and soon saw a newly opened forest space. There, Baohua and Guan Yuanzi were already waiting.
He fell to the ground and saluted the two of them:
"I've met two fellow Taoists."
"Fellow Taoist Changhu has also come, and now we are the only one left, Taoist Cheng, who is a bit far away. However, we got an opportunity, and Taoist Taoist Tuo found a rare elixir, which even the fusion monks like us can use
The kind that is useful!" When Guan Yuanzi said this, a little envy could not help but appear on his face.
Baohua on the side was a little absent-minded at the moment.
The reason is naturally the same problem as before.
Over the past hundred years, her body has been weakened from time to time, repeatedly. Judging from her current performance, it is obvious that something has happened recently.
as expected.
Lu Zhong found that the color of her left forearm was obviously much lighter than normal.
A few quarters of an hour later.
An escaping light flew across the horizon in the distance.
When the light dissipated, Cheng Jian's figure emerged.
Compared to Baohua, who was in a state of desolation, he could not hide the smile on his face at the moment, but he did not know when he successfully broke through to the middle stage of integration.
"What a blessed person!"
Lu Zhong looked at Cheng Jian without any trace, and then looked at Baohua beside him. The luck of the two formed a very sharp contrast, which could even be said to be the same as that of heaven and earth.
"Could it be..."
At this moment, a bold guess came into his mind.
Cheng Jian's luck is obviously abnormally good. If you combine the opportunities that this person has obtained along the way, even if he is said to be an illegitimate child of heaven, some monks will firmly believe this.
Therefore, Lu Zhong guessed that Cheng Jian was carrying some treasure.
To confirm your thoughts.
Without the other party's knowledge, Lu Zhong secretly used the gray fog space to test Cheng Jian.
But the result was far beyond his expectation.
"Everything is normal?"
wrong!
"It's normal but there are ghosts!"
After arriving at such a result, Lu Zhong actually had an answer in his heart.
Did not continue to test.
On the other side, when Guan Yuanzi saw everyone gathered, he took out five small silver flags, held one of them and said: "This flag...is called the Five Mysterious Niling Flag. You can borrow it."
This forms the Five Mysterious Counter Spirit Formation."
"Five Mysterious Reverse Spirit Formation? Combined with the spirit patterns on this flag, could it be that fellow Taoist is talking about the legendary formation that can reverse time!" Hearing this, Cheng Jian suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"That's right, it's exactly this formation!"
Guan Yuanzi distributed the formation flags to everyone one by one, and then said: "Presumably at these times, all fellow Taoists will be vaguely aware that the flow of time inside the Linghuan Mountains is very different from the outside world! As we follow
As we continue to go deeper, the anomalies in time will become larger and larger."
"It doesn't matter if you're in it."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the naive thoughts he had in the past.
Since the flow of time in the Linghuan Mountains is much slower than that of the outside world, wouldn't it be a treasured place for cultivation? But then the cruel fact came before our eyes, that is, as long as we leave the Linghuan Mountains, all the time that had been slowed down will be lost.
Come back intact, not a drop left.
Unless you are willing to stay in the time anomaly area.
But how is this choice any different from staying outside?
When Yuanzi explained the pros and cons, Baohua's expression darkened obviously. Although Cheng Jian on the side was disappointed, he gave people a pretended feeling, as if he already knew about it.
"It seems...it is very possible that this person carries an old grandfather with him."
In the vast world of immortality, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
It's just different from the usual situation. The level of the possible grandfather in Cheng Jian's body is obviously not low at all, at least he must be at the level of transcending tribulation. Moreover, the rules he cultivates are most likely related to luck, maybe it is a legend.
The law of cause and effect, or a similar type.
"No matter which one he is, he is destined to be a formidable opponent."
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but secretly make a decision in his heart. Unless it was necessary, he would never take the initiative to break up with this person, so as not to provoke a troublesome and powerful enemy.
It exists like this.
Even if it doesn't kill you, it can still make you sick enough.
certainly.
If the opponent didn't understand, Lu Zhong would not give in blindly and would definitely give the opponent a good look. He thought that in terms of strength, he would not be much weaker than Cheng Jian, even if the opponent was already a mid-stage integration monk.
Bring your thoughts back.
Guan Yuanzi has finished explaining the precautions for the formation.
"This is the specific..." Guan Yuanzi faced everyone and reminded: "In order to resist the erosion of time, the Five Mysteries Reverse Spirit Formation is necessary. So I ask you to study the jade more after you go back.
Contents in the slip. Now we are less than half way to the Ninth Essence Realm, and there is not much time left."
...
Luxurious cave home.
Cheng Jian leaned on the jade chair, his expression no longer as joyful as before, but instead became gloomy.
After a while, he shouted into the air:
"Senior, what you just said was that someone was spying on me secretly. But based on the current investigation, it seems that it is not what you said?"
"I'm not sure either."
As an old voice came out, an illusory figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the empty space in the hall, but it was an old man with snow-white eyebrows.
"However... I still want to remind you that although I can transfer the price of the wishing spell for you, it is not really without any sacrifice. The heretical and counterfeit methods cannot be true after all.
Only with the true path of cause and effect can people's wishes be realized without side effects, otherwise there will inevitably be restrictions of one kind or another."
"I know." Cheng Jian replied coldly.
Before the old man could reply, he separated himself from the inside and outside of the sea of consciousness, and controlled a golden tower held by the soul, causing its treasure light to flash, and the latter's body disappeared immediately.
Cheng Jian naturally took the old man's advice to heart.
But the reality is frustrating.
As a low-level monk who came from a small family and was once unknown, Cheng Jian was able to stand out among tens of thousands of monks because of the golden tower in the sea of consciousness.
At first, it was just a small tower that would bring good luck to people.
It can cause people to accidentally pick up money, but it is only three or five spirit stones, or they can meet relatives whom they have not seen for a long time, and then the other party provides a small gift, and gets some benefits from it.
But later, as his strength continued to improve.
The small tower is also changing.
It was not until he transformed into a god that Cheng Jian finally knew the truth.
It turns out that there is a remnant soul of an extremely high level hidden in the golden tower of the Sea of Consciousness. The reason why he had good luck in the past was just due to the methods prepared by the other party before his death.
It is a secret technique called "prayer technique".
It is precisely because of it that Cheng Jian can have a smooth journey.
Until today.
"You want me to give up using the prayer technique? This is absolutely impossible!"
Cheng Jian put the old man's reminder out of his mind without hesitation.
