Chapter 226 Taking root in the Son of Yama, six major nodes (7K chapters added)
)
Behind the portal is a vast world, with boundless sea, undulating golden waves, fairy mountains, shrouded white mist, and countless beautiful scenery.
On the suspended island in the center, there stands an ancient mirror, shining brightly, but made of stone, flowing with a strange and immortal brilliance.
If you look closely, you will find that the two sides of the stone mirror are somewhat different, as if you can see different worlds, the water is sparkling, and it is undulating like a living thing.
"It turns out that what is connected after the portal is not the location of the other world, but a connected node. The same is obviously true for the other five portals.
These areas should be the key for the owner of the medicine garden or the coffin to steal the original power of the great world. For me, it is also an opportunity to understand the laws and dao marks of other great worlds. But before that, there are still
There is a small problem that needs to be solved."
Xiang Yufei appeared here, stepped on the floating island, and quickly understood the layout of this area. It was a small node, and the special thing was that it connected the two worlds.
But right now, what he is paying attention to is not these, but another figure who has followed him to this same point.
Son of God Yama!
"Wanling Daozi, the reason why I chose to enter the same sect with you is for a very simple purpose. It is not to fight for anything. On the contrary, it is to help you and me. At this level, it goes without saying that you also know that from
The difficulty for Ban Heng to achieve Zhen Heng requires not only opportunities, but more importantly, an opponent, a suitable and strong opponent." The Son of God Yama had a green face and purple lips, and a pair of strange and deep eyes. He spoke lightly and spoke.
own purpose.
At this level, it is difficult to find a suitable opponent, and different evolutionary paths are needed to collide and generate opportunities and inspirations. It is difficult for experts on the same path to provide help.
Xiang Yufei smiled when he heard this, "Ha, you mean, you want to be this opponent?"
"We are both in the Nine Ultimate Realm, and the sons of gods in the six halls are not worthy of being with us. However, the cultivation level of the saint is almost different from mine, but the combat power is still weaker than mine. Only you and I are at the right time to fight.
No matter you win or lose, you will gain something in the future, so why not?" God Son of Yama nodded, extremely eager to go further.
In other words, any existence on the Nine Jue Tianguan is eager to achieve true constant level, and has to pay a lot of price for this. A battle, that is just the most basic demand, it is too normal, it can be said to be very common.
I have the Immortal Killing Field, so to fight him it would be better to go find a Heng-level Taoist to practice my skills. The income will be much more substantial than this. However, some of the secret techniques of the Xuanming Evolution Path are very good and will be helpful to me, so I can’t miss them.
Okay... Xiang Yufei's mind turned. A battle would also be of some benefit to him. He could take the opportunity to master more magical powers and subdue another son of god. The benefits would also be considerable.
As if sensing his thoughts, God Son of Yama laughed, and there were ghostly shadows roaring around him. The aura of terror filled the air, and the invisible soul light was vibrating. It was so terrifying that it was enough to make hundreds of millions of people...
The creature's soul light burns, and it dies completely.
Then I saw the five fingers of his right hand spread out and raised high, clenching and clenching like a lotus, turning into a fist. The palm fingers were vibrating at an extremely fast speed, just like a huge heart beating, and it became more condensed.
A pitch-black millstone struck directly at Xiang Yufei, and black gas appeared between his palms and fingers like a mirage from the netherworld. A fishy, disgusting, and dark smell arose spontaneously.
This is a terrifying boxing technique. It is recorded in the Purgatory Soul Cleansing Sutra on the Xuanming Evolutionary Path. It can evolve into a millstone of life and death and turn the reincarnation. It is called the Xuanming Reincarnation Fist. When practiced to a high level, it can condense the Xuanming Reincarnation Wheel. It is still the same today.
Only Xuan Ming Daozi could do it in this generation.
"Tianpeng fights the dragon, I am the only one who can dominate." Xiang Yufei grinned, raised his hand and grasped a huge Tianpeng, and a huge Tianpeng emerged from behind. Golden light shot into the sky. It was as huge as a mountain. His cold eyes opened.
, it’s scary, the traces of light are messy and monstrous.
As soon as the Supreme Heavenly Peng's sacred art of fighting dragons comes into being, the sky and the earth will lose color, and endless terrifying energy will permeate the air. At this time, it will use this to fight against a generation of Yama ghosts.
Phew!
It moves with Xiang Yufei's palm, as if it has become one with him, with a real dragon coiled between its claws. The golden energy waves burst out like a mountain torrent or like a vast ocean hitting the sky, forming an endless wave.
Press forward and bury God Son of Yama underneath.
Boom! The Tianpeng grabs the heart, the real tornado rolls the millstone, two different forces collide, you can see a dragon shadow being washed and obliterated in the placenta of life and death, suppressed and split into nothingness, you can also see the divine Peng crisscrossing, scratching to pieces
It hit the beating heart, and waves of aftermath spread out, shattering the starry sky, and the ripples turned into hundreds or even thousands of galaxies traversing here.
It was just a tentative fight. Both sides used secret techniques, but it ended up being a close match. They couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
"God Son of Yama, I am also very interested in the Purgatory Soul Cleansing Sutra of your lineage, hahaha!"
Xiang Yufei moved, and the divine roc behind him also moved. His big golden claws tore apart the heaven and earth, grabbing at the Son of Yama, tearing apart all life and killing all the heroes in the world.
Hell Soul Cleansing Sutra, it is said that it has the ability to control the six paths of reincarnation, resurrect the dead, reincarnate, and destroy the self. It is a great method for the evolution of Xuan Ming. The artistic conception is to turn oneself into reincarnation, the world into hell, and everyone in the world.
Being manipulated by reincarnation, they are like puppets on strings.
"With a fight, maybe you and I can get a glimpse of the future together.
Yama is recorded, and life and death are in Nirvana!" At this moment, the Son of God Yama has no joy, no worries, and no distracting thoughts. His whole figure is like an object, and his heart is empty. He holds the moon with both hands and pushes it slowly, just like the king in the Yama Palace writing down his judgment.
A sense of destiny pervades the stock.
I saw that the millstone of life and death changed again, and a person grew out of the reincarnation, with an infinite power to create life from death to life.
The scene appeared here again and again. Not only Dapeng and the real dragon, but also Xiang Yufei was affected, as if he had returned to his mother's body and arrived at the time of birth.
He returned to the placenta from a human being and was reborn from the placenta. After reincarnation, his memory naturally began to disappear, making him fall into a brief confusion. But soon, the light of endless wisdom evaporated, and the figures inside shouted, awakening
He came to Xiang Yufei and brought him back from being lost.
"What a purgatory soul-cleansing sutra." He couldn't help but sigh that he was also affected by it. Being affected, he became even more aggressive and wanted to defeat it head-on!
boom!
The power of the Purgatory Soul Cleansing Sutra shakes the divine Peng, and it fights against the supreme Celestial Peng's dragon-fighting technique. The black millstone and Peng's fist destroy the void. Nothing can be seen in that area. All light is swallowed up, even the creatures who are also semi-eternal are coming.
It cannot be seen through, and the souls of the creatures in Tianzun's domain will be sucked in just by looking at it.
The two are fighting fiercely, the physical body and the spirit are constantly competing, the paths of the paths are intertwined, and different mythological realms are unfolding!
"The Ten Palaces of Yama, the Xuan Ming and the Rebirth, the Writing of Life and Death, the Writing of Reincarnation! The realm of mythology, come out!"
"The five virtues rotate, the eighty-one incarnation of the Supreme Being, the Taoist Ancestor! Reverend the Heavenly Demon! Come out of the Mythical Realm!"
In an instant, the two Hengzuns shouted together, bursting out with great power that surpassed the ceiling of legend and rushed into the mythical realm. It was the mythical realm that was condensed from legends with the characteristics and miracles of constant-level creatures!
The paths of the avenues are intertwining, building the framework of the realm. Different wills, different Taoist hearts, different Taoist fruits and myths emerge and compete with each other.
Evil ghosts wailed and evil gods mourned. This was the mythical realm of the Son of Yama. A pitch-black figure sprang out like a ghost. The figure wore a flat crown on its head, with two green will-o'-the-wisps flashing in its eyes, and was wearing a risky suit.
With billowing black air, a yellow robe engraved with a five-clawed black dragon became one with him. He clenched his fist and slammed it forward. When it collided with the giant claw of the god Peng, it made a loud noise that shook the universe and the stars.
At the same time, the books of holy virtues rippled in the water, the ancient cauldron of merit steamed with purple air, the ancient pagodas of merit and virtue shed golden light, the ancient flags of Yin virtue shook gray and white, and the moral scrolls floated with pure air, which suddenly resisted the evil ghosts and evil gods, and thousands more
The leaf lotus blossoms from the flying sky spirit in the sky, and is as bright as the sun. From it walks out a statue with a crown of seven rays on its head, wearing a nine-color Liluo robe, holding a round light on its head, holding the phantom of the five luminaries in its hands, and the ten halls of Yama.
Fight together.
Moreover, the mythological realm of the two people continues to expand. One of them is transformed into a mysterious and evil earth, with gusty winds blowing, red lights floating in all directions, pitch-black mountains towering, and the waters of the underworld surging; the other has spiritual light spots flying, opening up the heavens.
In the holy realm, palaces and palaces stand tall, and golden lotuses bloom on the avenue. It is so mysterious that it is indescribable.
The two realms border each other, and different myths and legends are being interpreted. There are ten palaces of Yama that govern all ghosts and guard Xuan Ming;
At the forefront of the field of mythology, two figures are already fighting together. They give up their magical powers, and the laws and principles resonate with each other in their movements. Every punch and kick is a great skill!
"Fight with me physically? You can't even come to the constant level with Dou Zhan! You defeat me!" Xiang Yufei rushed over, and the emperors' battle methods sublimated by Dou Zi secret dominated the world, and behind him, thirty emperors were empty for eternity.
The shadow followed and moved, overwhelming the Son of Yama with every move, hitting him with heavy blows continuously, not giving him a chance.
The opponent's worst choice is to fight him in close combat, falling into Xiang Yufei's rhythm, losing the initiative, and what will greet him will be a violent bombardment!
In the blink of an eye, Yama God Son groaned. It was obvious that he had suffered a great loss in this collision. His hands were almost deformed, his body was dripping with blood, and there were many wounds, all with the marks of various fists and palms.
He kept retreating, feeling that he was not dueling with Wanling Daozi, but with dozens of emperors and gods of war. In the eyes of those who broke out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they were covered in flaws and suffered heavy blows.
Xuan Ming's robe was also roughly torn to pieces.
"The end of the law is like a sword that kills the genius, and I sigh enchantingly on the road to eternal life!" Xiang Yufei was unyielding, and the power of the end of the law circulated, directly condensing into the will of God, and was held in his hand with a knife, and chopped down with a bang.
Every time the sword falls, there is endless power of magic turning into a terrifying light rain.
Every ray of divine light shot through the void, turning it into a ruined land. Its offensive power was unparalleled in the world. Thousands of light rains were flying, all hitting the Son of God Yama, leaving him unable to escape.
"The power of the end of the law, a sword of God's will?! You were born in heaven and have never experienced the hardships of the road. How can you have such power?" God Son of Yama's expression suddenly changed and he suffered trauma. Visible to the naked eye, his armor was broken and his body was covered with scars.
, staggering backwards, each step creating a terrifying black hole in the void.
Moreover, his body was decaying, his Tao was withering and declining, all Dharma principles and traces of the Tao were silently extinguished, the life and death millstone used to protect his body was also chopped into pieces, his whole person lost control, and he was exiled to the Dharma-ending Prison.
"It's not over yet, hahaha, the gold-scaled blood is corroding by me! The gray-white mist is spreading! The ancestral substance of the primordial spirit is devouring it!
Son of God of Yama, I want you to understand the gap this time. Why should I try my best to defeat you? I have all the means!" Xiang Yufei laughed loudly, with an evil and strange aura exuding from his whole body, and gold was constantly pouring out of his pores.
The strange blood condensed into a great treasure bottle and rushed out. The gray-white mist continued to spread under the feet, and quickly formed a vast ocean to cover the two of them.
The most terrifying thing is the formless and formless ancestral substance of the Yuan Shen. It flickers and disappears like a sound wave, making the Son of Yama slow to react. The Yuan Shen falls into a short-term sluggish state. His magical powers are obscure and constantly weakened and restricted. There is no chance to escape.
If you dodge, you can only force it!
"You have mastered the three strange powers to this extent, but you still had reservations about taking action against the Son of God of the Sixth Palace before? It's really hard to figure out whether you have eroded the strange blood, or the strange blood has taken over you...
"God Son of Yama's heart was filled with waves. This Taoist Master of All Spirits actually held back his hand before. Only now that he really exerts his power can he see how terrifying these unknown substances are.
Even he can only use the Ten Palaces of Yama Sutra to Nirvana his own body, regressing himself to the placental state, and rebirth in Nirvana, thereby washing away the erosion of these unknown substances, pulling them into reincarnation together, and looking for opportunities to destroy.
It has to be said that it is amazing to be able to come up with solutions and countermeasures in such a short period of time, but unfortunately, what Xiang Yufei likes most is not to let people get what they want, and to be ruthless at the moment when people see hope.
Go trample on it!
"Jie, Jie, Jie, Yama, it seems that you don't understand the word "weird" thoroughly enough. Just so you understand, I will give you a chance to experience it personally, haha!"
In the state of being possessed by an unknown substance, Xiang Yufei's combat power surged, but it also became weird. His black hair gradually turned to dark red, his eyes became dark and empty, and there seemed to be some kind of dark seeds growing between his strange smile.
The Great Dao Treasure Vase suddenly fell into his palm, abandoning the intrusion of the gray mist and the ancestral substance of the Yuan Shen, showing the most terrifying side of the golden scales and blood.
Chi!
The next moment, the Dao Aquarius in his hand spurted out thousands of rays of sacred light, which was extremely dazzling, like rounds of suns embedded in it.
However, these sacred radiances were condensed from unknown blood. They were endowed with spirituality by the Eighty-one Transformations of the Supreme Being, and turned into a surging river, rushing forward together.
"I'm here to discuss with you, not to experience calamity!
The mythical realm of Yama, the nirvana of life and death, recreate my body!" God Son of Yama was a little depressed, it was just a fight, not like this, right?
Even the sword of the end of the law and strange substances were used. Instead of defeating him, I simply wanted to kill him!
At the moment, we can only use the realm of mythology and Dafa to protect our bodies, constantly reincarnate in Nirvana, let these evil blood disappear into reincarnation, and seal and transmit them to other worlds and spaces. This is indeed a good way, not to be contaminated and exiled.
But soon, wave after wave came, infinitely bright, full of brilliance, and thousands of golden rivers flooded through the void, destroying everything in their path.
Even the Son of God Yama felt suffocated, his whole body was resisting, and he was retreating rapidly. This was the fear originating from the origin of life.
Great waves of golden bloody matter are erupting, and each one contains the power of erosion and calamity. The laws of heaven and earth are reversing and changing, and the unknown energy is majestic.
"It's a big loss. It's just a fight. I have never provoked you! We have no grievances between you and me!" The Son of Yama was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. At this moment, he was under tremendous pressure, and the bones in his body were crackling. It was as dark as
The placenta of life and death evolved from Mo's body was about to collapse, as if a millstone was crushing over his body. If the other Great Heavenly Lords had already turned into flesh, even his physical body would be creaking.
Sound.
"A liger and a tiger use their full strength to fight a rabbit. I respect my opponent. Secondly, I haven't used my full strength yet." Xiang Yufei shook his head with a solemn look on his face. Since he was challenged, he naturally couldn't deal with it and wanted to let it go.
Does the opponent think the fight is worth it?
If you want to gain enlightenment through fighting, you can do it! If you go through Mo Fa with one blow, you are guaranteed to gain enlightenment.
If you want to transform through fighting, it's easy! The golden scales are stained with blood, and Nirvana is guaranteed.
It's just that the consequences are out of his control. It's not like he's doing charity and showing mercy everywhere.
"No more fighting, you guys should stop using your magical powers. Bloody blood is not a good thing. The methods are too disgusting. What are you still doing in Banheng? The real Taoist will be in a hurry. What the hell, in
A place like God can help you cultivate strange substances and the sword of the end of the Dharma, but Master Yun Heng cannot do this!" God Son of Yama was speechless, waving his hands again and again, secretly saying that it was bad luck.
He originally came to fight and seek common progress, but he did not come from a desperate path and endured the torture of strange substances and the knife of the end of law.
One hand erodes the strange substance, disturbing the human body and soul, and the other hand cuts down the Taoist line with a knife and cuts the foundation of the Taoist body. How to fight against this? How to prevent it? There is no way to stop it!
Not to mention its deadly moves, it is basically unstoppable. It is too restrained and has completely exploited the two weaknesses of the Evolver. Even if the creatures from the Earth come, they may not be able to get a good deal.
"Actually, if you can withstand the erosion of these two forces, it will be natural to go further. I'm not lying to you." Xiang Yufei shook his head, but he didn't intend to stop there. He hadn't planted the seed yet, how could he?
Is it over?
Now that his guardian is away, it is a good time. Even if he goes back and finds it, it is not a dangerous thing. It does not matter if he is expelled by the seniors of the clan. It will not cause conflicts in the evolutionary path. After all, it is the other party who comes to challenge it.
He didn't kill him, he just asked him to devote himself. A son of God is still far from being comparable to a son of Tao.
Whoosh!
The next moment, he directly pointed his finger and pressed it on the forehead of the Son of Yama. A seed took root and fell silently, living together with the Tao Fruit in his body and absorbing nutrients.
The Xuan Ming Dharma Clothes, the Purgatory Soul Cleansing Sutra, the Ten Halls of Yama Sutra, the Great Nirvana on the Life and Death Mill, and other wonderful magic battles are presented, but they are part of the understanding and control of the Yama God Son himself, not the original appearance of his method, because that is Xuan Ming
The untold secrets of the path of evolution would not end well if touched. However, he understood these principles and took advantage of them.
And these wonderful techniques also made him intoxicated, exclaiming how wonderful they were, wishing he could practice and master them now and transform into the realm of mythology.
"Do you really think that anyone can restrain weird substances? If that were the case, we would have gained the advantage in the battle long ago, and there would be so many troubles." God Son of Yama was speechless. Do you really think that the erosion of weird blood is a decoration? This is not dilution.
Even they need to constantly mobilize their magic power to suppress and eliminate the kind of bad things in the street.
Some special secret techniques on the evolutionary path may have a restraining effect, but they are not yet what they can practice at present, and there are various restrictions.
As for the seed that entered his body, he didn't pay too much attention to it. It did not pose a threat to the path or life and death. On the contrary, it had a certain blessing. He planned to study this kind of benefit and ask the guardian to make a decision, so he surrendered for the time being.
"Study first. If it's too troublesome, I will directly teach him the skills. It's just a 'teaching' thing. There is no need to waste that skill." Xiang Yufei stared at the Son of Yama, and he was still of great use at the moment.
of.
Although he defeated him, the main event was still the strange substance and the sword of the end of the law. It would be a lot of trouble if the duel between the two was abandoned. However, with the eighty-one incarnation of Taishang here, he would still be the victor in the end.
"Okay, okay, just stay by yourself, I have something else to do." After thinking about this, he waved impatiently to Yu Fei, threw the Son of Yama aside, and then came here happily.
In the center of the portal node, I stared at the stone mirror.
Obviously, the former master of the medicine garden used this to steal the original power of another world and build a chain of avenues for his own use. The nodes are also an important factor.
At this time, he sent a thought into his body and submerged it into the stone mirror. It actually penetrated the node and went to the original world!
It was vast, magnificent and prosperous, and all kinds of wonders passed by in a flash. He saw a cave, which was very beautiful and picturesque. The mountain gate was full of all kinds of spiritual vines and grasses, white mist was transpiring, and divine springs were gushing. It was like a fairyland.
There is also an ancient peak standing, which is located on the main mountain in the center of the sacred mountain group. From a distance, you can see the auspicious clouds gushing there, the power is surging, and it is extremely sacred.
As for the mountains, there are strange flowers and plants everywhere, mist overflowing, divine clouds surging, and various auspicious beasts and spiritual birds appearing from time to time, countless in number.
"Um?
Who is spying on our world?"
At this moment, a beam of eyes suddenly lit up on the mountain peak, and someone spoke in shock. A terrible power rolled in, directly dispelling this bunch of thoughts, and they were thrown back outside the stone mirror.
, suspended next to Xiang Yufei.
Strong! Xiang Yufei was shocked. This power was so powerful. He was noticed as soon as he entered the big world?
But he also gained something, that is, he can absorb the laws and original power of that world through nodes. This is a magical thing that only Hunyuan can use, and he can master it in advance now.
At the same time, a new figure appeared on the mountain peak of that realm. It was a middle-aged man with blond hair. He looked at the place where Xiang Yufei's thoughts disappeared and showed a strange look.
"Sir, why don't you...?" He bowed respectfully to the top of the mountain and asked.
"If you act as you think, our world will be in big trouble. That person has the mark of Daozi on his body, and he seems to be an important figure in an evolutionary civilization. If not, if I ask anything, I will be shocked to death.
Yes, why are you so scrupulous?" An old voice also came from the top of the mountain, it was the person who scolded him before.
The blond middle-aged man was suddenly surprised, "A Taoist from a Realm? How could such a person happen to spy on our world? Could it be related to the theft of the origin of the Tao back then?"
Evolutionaries who can reach advanced realms are naturally not fools. There are only a few things that can spy on them. With a little thought, you can recall the past when the origin of the world was pulled away and part of it was stolen.
"Whatever, it's just snooping. It's still within the realm of humanity and can't do anything. If you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, you need to give face to the evolved civilization behind him. As long as you don't do anything extraordinary, you will be treated as such.
If you can't see it, don't add extra branches, God is not a kind place." The man on the top of the mountain shook his head and ordered not to make things difficult or restrictive, and just let him go.
Daozi's identity was of such great significance that even though he didn't want to offend him easily, he simply ignored him.
"I understand." The blond man smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and retreated, starting to give orders to his subordinates to avoid any setbacks.
Outside the stone mirror, Xiang Yufei also had some guesses.
"The strong man in that realm didn't take action before. I guess he noticed something. The identity of Daozi really has many benefits. This makes me look forward to the day of the grand ceremony and coronation more and more, hahaha."
He also understood the reason, and simply implemented it boldly, using his old body to conceive new seeds, planting the new seeds in the nodes, and shuttled into that realm, without being too showy or presumptuous, just absorbing the rules,
Bath in the nourishment of the original power of another world.
As he expected, no one stopped or scolded him this time, and he was allowed to do what he did. After all, he was just a deity. Even if he opened his mouth to breathe, his origin would not recover as quickly. It would not matter if he was just a drop of water in the ocean.
"The identity of Daozi is really enviable." God Son of Yama on the side had a strange look on his face and was extremely emotional.
If it was him, there would be no such benefit. Although it would not lead to the disaster of killing, he would definitely be expelled, and it was impossible for Daozi to receive such benefits.
The gap in status is vividly displayed at this moment.
boom!
Half a month later, Xiang Yufei is compatible with the laws of this world, and it has been continuously confirmed that he has been nourished by the original power of this world. The benefits are huge. Not only has the semi-constant level of Tao fruit advanced again, but even the Tao practice has also increased!
Under the influence of its energy, the world has completely changed. There are vague traces everywhere. Whether it is in the sky, underground, or in the void, they are all imprinted with lines. They are very ancient and hazy. They are everywhere, just like ink paintings.
Black and white rotation!
Buzz!
When everything was gone, Xiang Yufei's Qiji actually reached the peak from the late stage of Tianzun! The entire great realm was complete, and after settling down for a while, he could already try to attack the Hunyuan realm.
But obviously, he will not just break through like this, but will completely achieve the perfect constant-level fruition status. If he breaks into it again, he will become the most powerful mythical deity, the eternal Hunyuan!
"The peak of the Heavenly Lord, now my goal is to transform into the Mythical Heavenly Lord, obtain the complete constant level status, and condense the Holy Temple of the Kingdom of God.
If the nodes in one world are blessed with such a blessing, then the remaining five places must also go through the same process.
Plant your true self in the origin of the six great realms, absorb its nutrients, and the day when you achieve Hunyuan is the time when all the heavens and all realms come to court!"
After undergoing transformation, Xiang Yufei's gaze became more intense, and he already had a new plan. He had to go through these six nodes.
After integrating the laws of the six realms and the nourishment of the original power, he has the confidence to completely achieve the mythical body! Incarnate as a constant Taoist!
There are two more chapters tomorrow. I will pay back the word count I owe slowly.
After pushing the progress a bit, it should be up to standard the day after tomorrow, and it's time to start editing again.
I made some secondary designs for the constant level, and the performance is probably more special than the original version.
