Chapter 477 The possibility of the eighth absolute power!
After hearing the last sentence, the eight people present immediately straightened their backs.
The confinement is loosened.
It means they have someone who can practice.
And once you have achieved cultivation, it will not be difficult to cultivate not to mention one acre or a hundred acres, but a thousand or ten thousand acres of land.
Tie Tang remembered the farming rules that Huang mentioned before.
Article 1: [Each person has one hundred acres of land, and the reclamation is completed within a hundred days.]
It seems that there is no problem if there are hundreds of acres in a hundred days, an average of one mu per day.
But if you can gain cultivation...
Even if it is a small amount, it may only be a matter of easy tendons, the degree of marrow cleaning, and the reclamation speed will be greatly increased, and it does not take a hundred days at all.
Combined with the second rule: [At least one acre needs to be cultivated every day!]
At least one acre per day, not just one acre per day.
It shows that the real time limit is not a hundred days. This time can definitely be greatly reduced. If you have the ability, you can also have a hundred acres a day.
So what’s the point of reduction?
Tie Tang remembered the requirement to obtain the final blessing and immediately understood the core of the first test.
Rating, or evaluation.
One acre per day is just the most basic requirement, and it obviously cannot satisfy Heaven.
If you want to get high scores and high evaluations, who can cultivate a hundred acres of land faster is the core of the judgment.
On this basis, this test still increases the difficulty.
The third rule: [An inspection will be conducted at noon on the second day, and food will be distributed only if all eight people meet yesterday’s requirements.]
In fact, according to the normal process, the eight people who are exhausted today cannot cultivate one hundred acres of land in one hundred days, even if they receive sufficient food supplements and have unparalleled mental cultivation.
Cultivating an acre of land in one day looks wonderful.
Actually.
Even if the eight of them can persist, one day, two days, eight days, or ten days, after a period of time, the fatigue accumulated over many days will completely reach the limit of the physical body.
One day.
There will be people who find it difficult to cultivate one acre of land.
And once someone fails to complete it, they will not be able to get food from the next day.
This implicated seven other people, creating a vicious circle for eight people, and eventually all of them died here.
This is the result of the concerted efforts of eight people.
The truth is not that simple, because there is a deserter among the eight people, and it will destroy all actions as much as possible.
Tie Tang was suddenly shocked when he thought of this.
"Today's task... the abandoned ones only need to throw away their hoe, lie down in the field and take a nap, and everyone will die together tomorrow?"
He looked at the other seven people. Everyone was absolutely exhausted, and no one seemed to be faking it.
"The Abandoned One didn't destroy it?"
Before Tie Tang could sort out his thoughts, Huang's next words answered his doubts.
"Then... let's start choosing the floor now!"
"No pain means no gain, and the first person to make the first choice today... is the one among the eight of you who is the first to complete the reclamation!"
Who finished first?
Eight people looked at me and I looked at you, but obviously no one had an answer.
Fatty Yuan Geng reluctantly opened his mouth and asked dryly: "Where shall we... live?"
The emperor opened his palms, and a funnel-like building flew out from his palms and landed in the southeast corner of the square, eventually becoming ten feet tall.
This is a ring-shaped treehouse-like structure with a funnel shape as a whole and is divided into eight layers visible to the naked eye.
The middle floor is the narrowest and smallest, maybe less than three feet in diameter, and it increases upwards and downwards from the middle floor.
There are four floors above and three floors below, for a total of eight floors.
"This is the Eternal Palace. The lower three floors are set up as a special area for eight people to share. Your residence starts from the first floor in the middle to the top.
Only one person can live on the first and fifth floors, while two people can live on the second, third and fourth floors respectively.
All force is prohibited in the Eternal Palace. Of course, with your current strength, you cannot kill anyone in the palace.
All in all, the final test is not simply about fighting to win or lose, at least not now, so please keep your petty thoughts away."
The eight people present are all strong among the strong. When encountering a problem, the first thing they think of is to solve it with force.
As early as when he was reclaiming wasteland, Tie Tang had noticed one or two malicious glances.
Even if you become a mortal, it doesn't mean you don't have the means to kill.
Anyway, there is only one winner in the end, so why not kill the other seven in advance?
Except for Tie Tang, the other seven people have had this idea.
However, after all, they had experienced many tests of the Heavenly Dao Monument before and knew that it could not be that simple, so they maintained a peaceful situation in the end.
As for Tietang?
This idea never occurred to him.
It's not that he doesn't dare to take action, but that his purpose of coming here is inherently different from the other seven.
Eliminating opponents through the most primitive violent means obviously does not meet this test.
Even if someone does take action, there is a high probability that it will not succeed.
If someone succeeds, Tie Tang can also make a choice based on the follow-up. He is not panic and has his own plan.
"Now please follow the emperor's footsteps and visit the next residence together!"
Tie Tang fell at the end of the team and arrived at the bottom of the Eternal Palace, which is also a floor as wide as the top floor.
It's just that the real residence of this funnel-shaped Eternal Palace starts from the middle. The entire lower half of the funnel is a special area shared by eight people and is not open at this time.
What appeared before Tie Tang's eyes were two green vines standing straight in the center of the Eternal Palace.
This green vine was like jade, exuding vitality and extremely thick. When the emperor walked to the middle, the vines intertwined and bloomed a yellow and pink flower, supporting him to rise slowly.
Nine strange flowers carried the nine people to the center of the Eternal Palace, which is also the first floor of everyone's real residence.
And here, there is only a three-foot-long and two-foot-wide couch, with a thin layer of thatch spread randomly on the ground, and a one-foot-square window on the side, which is extremely simple.
"Wow, it stinks so bad. The rotten smell from below has come in. This is worse than a pig's nest.
The grass is moldy and the wooden walls are extremely damp. Look, water is still leaking out. How can I sleep here?"
The fat man complained a lot and held his nose in disgust.
Nowadays, the eight of them are no longer monks with great supernatural powers, but mortals with mortal bodies. Living in such a cramped, humid, and smelly environment is difficult to persevere.
What's more, they have to work extremely hard during the day. If they can't sleep well at night, their condition will only get worse.
Tie Tang even thought of a terrible future.
The biggest reason why they can survive the test now is that each of them has a state of mind that far exceeds that of ordinary people.
However, the cultivation of the state of mind is not like the cultivation of the realm. It is very fragile and may reverse.
If someone stays in this environment for a long time... it is likely to affect their own state of mind. Once their state of mind changes, everything will be in vain, which will be more uncomfortable than killing them.
"I don't want to live here!"
This was the thought that the eight people had together after seeing the residence on the first floor.
Then Huang led everyone to the second floor.
The second floor is still a whole-body wooden structure, but it is obviously ten times better than the first floor.
There are more windows here, it is more ventilated, has better lighting, and the area that allows for passage is larger. The overall area is five feet in diameter, and there are also two wooden beds with complete bedding.
"It's okay here. It's much better than before. If you don't have a choice, living on the second floor is the best choice." Pan Xuan, who has a luxurious temperament, expressed his own thoughts and the thoughts of others.
As the strange flowers rose, eight people on the third and fourth floors saw them one by one.
No surprise, the floor is higher, and the living environment is obviously bigger, better, and more comfortable, but everyone is aware of it.
Excluding the ordinary first floor of a pigsty, although the second, third and fourth floors are better than the first, there is no qualitative change.
For eight people, the second level is enough. After all, they are not here to enjoy, but to obtain the endless longevity and the blessing of eternal life.
Outside, which one of them is not the one who can make all the changes?
The material needs of the world have long been abandoned by them.
Even here, they only need to ensure the most basic survival needs.
Winter!
A bell rang.
The eight people followed the emperor to the fifth floor, which is also the peak of the Eternal Palace.
This place is about thirty feet in diameter and is extremely spacious. The moonlight shines freely, illuminating this hall.
There are incense burners in the four corners that emit the fragrance of birds. The smell is refreshing and relieves the tiredness all over the body.
There is also a water mirror in the center of the two vines, which reflects half of the four floors below.
From here, you can overlook the four floors below and grasp every move of others.
"Everyone, this is the Supreme Palace. If you live here, you will have absolute power in the Eternal Palace!"
"Every day at noon, after inspection, the food needed for the day will be distributed, and the person in charge on the fifth floor will give priority to all food.
After the people in power select, the remaining food will be sent to the fourth floor. After the fourth floor selects, it will be sent to the third floor, and so on."
The importance of food needs no introduction to the eight people at this time.
As soon as Tie Tang finished listening to the emperor's words, he immediately deduced various possibilities.
"If the person in power living on the fifth floor eats up all the food, the people below will starve to death.
However, due to the rules of reclaiming wasteland, if someone has nothing to eat, they will not be able to farm tomorrow, and they will eventually die together, so no one should do this.
But after all, they have the power to choose, and they can eat more and better. In the end, it is the people at the bottom who suffer."
The emperor quietly waited for the eight people to digest the previous words, and then said after a moment: "The power of those in power does not stop there.
If you stay on the fifth floor for three days, you can get an obstacle-removing pill.
Obstacle-Removing Pill can release a realm of confinement in the body. What that means, you should know better than me.
Okay, no more gossip.
Before choosing the floor, the meeting hall will be open for half an hour. The night is getting darker. I hope you will discuss it as soon as possible."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as Huang finished speaking, the nine strange flowers landed quickly and went straight to the broadest hall on the bottom floor.
The scene that was originally covered by gray mist also appeared in front of everyone.
In the center is a large jasper round table with eight chairs around it.
In addition, there are eight secret rooms near the wooden wall. Each secret room is far apart and looks like an additional meeting place.
"This is the first time we meet today, so I will ask Huang to give you a small meeting gift." Huang smiled and waved his hand, and his figure disappeared completely.
On the jasper round table, eight one-foot-long gourds appeared.
Tie Tangdang stepped out first, picked up a gourd, raised his head and drank, and then sat down on the red wooden chair.
"It feels so comfortable~ I have never felt that water tastes so good."
The eight people sat down and did not fight for the gourd. Maybe it was not because they didn't want to, but because everyone was really exhausted.
After drinking the sweet and delicious well water, the eight people at the round table fell into a brief silence.
In the end, it was Pan Xuan who spoke first: "Everyone, please say something. We only have half an hour."
"There's nothing to say!" Mo Xinxiang responded coldly.
The fat man also muttered: "I'm so exhausted that I still have the energy to speak. Besides, what's the point of discussing this? Let's just finish it in separate buildings."
"So, you are sure that you will be number one and will not go to the first floor?" The person who spoke had a pale complexion, like a ghost. Every time Tie Tang saw him, he would think of several similar people.
This person’s name is Lu Xiuzhen, and Tie Tang even greeted him when he woke up.
The fat man was not to be outdone: "I'm not sure of being first, but I'm sure that I won't be eighth. Isn't that enough?"
At this time, Pan Xuan waved his hand to stop the possible quarrel between the two: "Everyone, there is a deserter among us, so let's not fight among ourselves for now.
Pan asked politely, have you cultivated an acre of land today?"
"What about you?"
"Of course I'm done."
"Same!"
"Same!"
……
Tie Tang actually guessed the answer a long time ago.
The Abandoned One must be able to obtain some information that others don’t know, such as the power to allocate houses today.
Then it is impossible for him not to try his best, at least not to cause damage on the first day.
Moreover, if the abandoned person does it too obviously and is exposed too quickly, it will also cause the other seven people to unite, and eventually he may be the first to be eliminated.
No matter which way you look at it.
No one who has been abandoned can blatantly sabotage the mission from the beginning.
"Since everyone is done, it at least means we will have food to eat tomorrow, which is a good sign."
Pan Xuan worked hard to deal with the indifferent people, and also tried to establish some dominance. It seemed that he was used to dominating outside, or maybe he did it on purpose.
In short, under his words, the eight people were relatively peaceful, each expressing his or her own opinions.
"Let's talk about food first. Since it is distributed from top to bottom, I would like to make a suggestion. At least in the first few days... I hope it can be distributed fairly!"
Fair distribution?
Is it possible?
Now none of the eight people is sure that they are number one, so the proposal of fair distribution is obviously beneficial to everyone.
But when the person in power actually appears, can this proposal be realized?
Tie Tang raised his eyebrows and quickly scanned the expressions of the seven people, breaking the silence in the silent atmosphere.
"I agree with Brother Pan, this is good for most of us."
Pan Xuan was a little surprised and glanced at Tie Tang curiously. The two looked at each other and nodded.
"I agree too!" Tie Tang spoke up, followed closely by Fatty.
"Okay, I shouldn't be number one anyway." Lu Xiuzhen also expressed his opinion.
The remaining four people remained silent.
After a brief silence, Mo Xinxiang said disdainfully: "It's useless to say this. In the end, it still depends on how to do it."
After hearing this, the fat man immediately said: "I put it here, if I don't have enough to eat, then everyone will die together, and no one will survive."
Pan Xuan warned: "If you don't reclaim the wasteland, it will definitely affect your evaluation of this test. It is very likely that you will not be able to receive the blessing of heaven if you win in the end."
"You have to have that opportunity. At least there must be hope, right? If you don't even have to eat, can you persevere?
Fair distribution of food is my bottom line!"
Tie Tang watched quietly without being disturbed at all. He knew that this was not the bottom line for Fatty or anyone else.
The bottom line for everyone present is to have something to eat, not to distribute it fairly.
If you have something to eat, there is hope.
Fair distribution is the best choice at present, but it cannot be the bottom line.
Lu Xiuzhen sneered and said sarcastically: "You can talk nonsense, but you still need to eat. Look at how fat you are, and you are still eating, eating, eating. I can't kill you if I eat you.
Instead of talking about this, why don't you guys talk about who wants to live with whom?"
There are eight people living in a five-story building. Except for the first and fifth floors, six people will live together in two-by-one floors.
Who you choose as your first cohabitation partner may obviously have a big impact on your future.
Facing a completely unfamiliar face, no one wants to live with another person, and this topic was interrupted before it had time to be discussed.
Half an hour is up.
Huang Nagujing Wubo's face appeared in front of everyone again.
"It seems that you guys had a good chat. Let's get started. Please choose first. You are the number one today. How should you... be called?"
The emperor walked up to a person and seemed not to recognize him.
When Tie Tang saw that man, he thought that this was indeed the case.
He never thought he would be number one.
That's impossible.
There are so many experienced and tyrannical seniors present, but he is not far superior to others in terms of realm strength or mental state.
On the contrary.
The origins of these people outside are probably greater than the others. Even if they all become mortals, they will not be at the same starting point.
"If it were you, it would be normal, but in this case... could I be the eighth?"
"Do you want to live in that kind of place on your first day?"
Tie Tang smiled bitterly.
And the emperor's voice sounded again.
"So, from floors one to five, which floor should you choose?"
"Please remember that the people in power on the fifth floor may change every day, and the changed tasks and requirements will be put forward on the same day.
And except today, the person in power can designate any person to go to the fifth floor every day. The residents on other floors will not change as long as they are not affected.
Please make your choice within a stick of incense!"
