At this moment, Meng Zhou, in order to maintain a pure state of mind as much as possible, took the initiative to cut off all contact and induction with everything outside the "Xingxiu Tianchi".
In order to achieve this, Meng Zhou even took the initiative to cut off the connection between the "transparent round mirrors" scattered in the eight wilderness areas and the "deductive world" that existed in his mind.
For the first time, the "deduction world" that had been continuously refreshed at a stable frequency stopped at the same time.
Meng Zhou, who was in such a state, naturally did not know that the three Nascent Soul Lords had returned and were preparing to enter the "Xingxiu Tianchi" for routine retreat as in previous years.
But because of the new rules that Meng Zhou had tampered with, let alone entering the "Xingxiu Tianchi" again, they now didn't even know where the door of the "Xingxiu Tianchi" opened.
They have even lost their sense of the "Xingxiu Tianchi". With their abilities, even if they use all the various detection abilities they have mastered, they can't even touch the edge of the "Xingxiu Tianchi".
The sea below me has become a perfectly normal sea, and nothing special can be found.
Because of such an incident, the three Nascent Soul Lords who returned in a hurry were like dumb geese, staring at the sea below, their minds empty.
Meng Zhou was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Of course, Meng Zhou, who had arranged such a situation, had expectations for such changes.
But the more precise time and specific presentation method were beyond his ability to predict.
Meng Zhou didn't care about this either.
This time entering the "Xingxiu Tianchi", Meng Zhou's goal was very clear.
Before his cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, even if the sky falls outside, he will not step out of here.
During this period, as long as no one invaded the "Xingxiu Tianchi" and directly threatened his breakthrough in seclusion, he would not even blink an eyelid, let alone take a look outside the "Xingxiu Tianchi".
In this state of mind, time has quietly arrived at the end of December, and the new year is getting closer and closer.
…
December twenty-nine.
The open sea outside the "Xingxiu Tianchi".
"Elder Senior Brother", "Second Senior Sister" and "Fourth Junior Sister" gathered together again.
"No, I can't find any traces."
"Me too, I've used all the means I can, but I can't find any trace.
It’s as if this is an ordinary sea area and there is no ‘Xingxiu Tianchi’ at all.”
"Me too."
The three people frowned tightly and looked at each other. They all saw judgments similar to their own in each other's eyes.
"Fourth Junior Sister" whispered:
"'Xingxiu Tianchi' can't really run away.
The current situation can only mean that during these days when we were traveling to and from various wilderness areas, the original rules of the ‘Xingxiu Tianchi’ were changed.”
"Elder Senior Brother" was horrified when he heard this. He quickly turned to look at "Fourth Junior Sister" and asked:
"You mean, someone sneaked into the 'Xingxiu Tianchi' while we were out and tampered with the original rules?"
"Yes." "Fourth Junior Sister" nodded slightly.
"This..." "Elder Brother" was speechless, as if he couldn't accept this possibility.
"This must be difficult, right?" "Second Senior Sister" said.
"Fourth Junior Sister" nodded, "Yes, it's very difficult, very, very difficult!"
After "Eldest Brother" withstood the initial shock, he quickly regained his composure and narrowed his eyes and said:
"So, the changes that have happened in the outer lands these days are also the work of this person.
Its purpose is to lure us away from the Xingxiu Sea to facilitate his actions!"
"Fourth Junior Sister" nodded and said softly:
"Now that I think about it, the evil veins that have completed the upgrade in the Juye Wilderness are different from other places. It was also this person's deliberate plan to catch the clone of Senior Brother Lian!"
As she spoke, she paused, and then she whispered softly:
"Including Senior Brother Lian, we all stepped into the trap set by this person."
As soon as she said these words, the audience fell into a deathly silence.
"Eldest Brother"'s face became very ugly.
He stared closely at the sea below, as if there were flames spurting out of his eyes, as if he was going to burn the sea below directly.
After a long time, "Eldest Brother" breathed out a long, burning breath, and his voice became much thicker.
"We know nothing about this person, but this person knows us so well."
“Not only can we cleverly set up a situation based on the conflict between us and Lian Ziling, but we also know Lian Ziling’s secret very well!
He tried his best to destroy a clone and refused to reveal anything to us!"
"And being able to complete the tampering and reshaping of the rules of the 'Xingxiu Tianchi' in such a short period of time has made us unable to find even traces of the 'Xingxiu Tianchi'.
With such a method, even if the four of us work together, we can't do it, right?
Doesn’t that mean that this person is stronger than the four of us combined?”
Following the words of the "fourth junior sister", the "elder brother" made some extended reasoning.
But when he reached this step, he suddenly shuddered and could no longer continue.
An unknown being, who was stronger than the four of them combined, had been standing beside them for an unknown period of time, watching their every move with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything.
Just thinking about such a scene in my mind, the indignation in "Elder Brother"'s heart melted away, and he no longer had the courage to fight against it.
Not only him, but also the eyes of "Second Senior Sister" also had mixed emotions of shock and confusion at the same time.
On the one hand, she was shocked by the abilities and skills of the unknown being.
Can tamper with the rules of "Xingxiu Tianchi";
Able to travel to and from the eight wastelands in the outer world at will without disturbing them, and use clever means to sublimate the third-level evil veins to the fourth level;
He manipulated the four Nascent Souls like puppets and took advantage of the situation to create internal discord among them. Before facing a powerful enemy, an internal fight broke out and their strength was drastically reduced.
——Their internal fighting was not part of Meng Zhou's plan, but now it has become a recognized fact. Even if Meng Zhou himself comes out to explain and deny it, it cannot be reversed.
All these were the reasons for her shock, and they were also the reasons for her confusion.
Facing such an unknown existence and taking a hostile stance, she didn't even know how to express her hostility.
Among the three, it was the "Fourth Junior Sister" who was the calmest.
When the "eldest brother" and "second senior sister" were shaken, she stood up again, her voice was still so soft, but her expression was very determined.
She shook her head slightly, and then said softly:
“This person is very capable and skillful, it’s true.
But to say that this person is also stronger than us is not necessarily true!"
Hearing this, the other two people were shocked and turned to look at her.
"Four Junior Sisters" raised a question:
"Tell me, what is the purpose of this person doing this?"
"Purpose?" The two murmured softly.
"There have been huge changes in the eight wastelands of the Outer Realm, with the third-level evil veins being upgraded to the fourth level, and driving us around. This can't be the purpose."
"While we are away, he sneaked into the 'Xingxiu Tianchi' and tampered with and reshaped the rules so that we can't even find a trace. This is also impossible to be his purpose."
The two nodded slightly.
Do you regard entertaining them as the purpose? There are no such boring people.
"What's more, if the opponent's strength is really much stronger than ours, why should we act like this? Isn't it possible to just rob us?"
After saying that, "Fourth Junior Sister" paused, and then said softly:
"Whether it is to successfully upgrade those third-level evil veins, or to tamper with and reshape the rules of the 'Xingxiu Tianchi', in order to achieve these things, it doesn't matter whether the cultivation level is high or low.
As long as your attainments in the talisman array are high enough, this can be done!"
"So..." "Elder Brother" seemed to have thought of something, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"Second Senior Sister" completed what he had not finished.
"So, this person is probably a monk who has reached the fourth-level mid-level Talisman Master profession, but his cultivation is still at the realm of pill formation."
"The original rules of the 'Xingxiu Tianchi' are also the constraints that he can't break free from."
"This person planned such an action, and one of his purposes was to break this bondage."
The "elder brother" who also thought he had figured out the key also went on to add:
"This person has chosen the time to activate at this moment. He should also have another goal, which is to take advantage of the unique advantages of the 'Xingxiu Tianchi' to break through!"
After thinking about the previous ones, this can be easily deduced.
There is no need to emphasize the talent of a monk who can reach the fourth-level mid-level attainment of Talisman Array in the realm of pill formation.
Even if this person is a pill-forming person, there is a high probability that he is already at the peak of pill-forming cultivation.
Because only in this way can he maximize the efficiency by choosing to activate it at this moment.
"Eldest Brother" exhaled again, let out a hey, and said:
"In other words, we don't need to bother looking for it anymore.
Just wait here slowly until the Nascent Soul Tribulation appears."
"Second Senior Sister" and "Fourth Junior Sister" both nodded lightly.
They are very clear about the internal situation of "Xingxiu Tianchi".
No matter how strong the opponent's attainments in the Talisman Formation are, one thing they can be sure of is that once the opponent starts to break through, the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation will definitely exceed the limit that the "Xingxiu Tianchi" can cover.
No matter how hidden "Xingxiu Tianchi" is now, as long as the Nascent Soul Tribulation comes, "Xingxiu Tianchi" and the one hiding inside will be invisible.
After clarifying this, the confusion and anxiety that was still there in the hearts of "Elder Senior Brother" and "Second Senior Sister" have dissipated, and all three of them have made it clear what they should do next.
But at this moment, the three of them suddenly turned their heads and looked in one direction.
They saw dozens of jade slips shooting towards them from the direction they were looking at.
That direction is not anywhere else, it is the direction of the Observation Hall.
The three people who saw this scene all felt a thump in their hearts.
You must know that even before the unprecedented upgrading of the third-level evil veins in the eight wastelands of the Outer Realm, so many jade slips had never been transmitted to the Observation Hall at once.
No matter what they wanted in their hearts, dozens of jade slips had cut through the void, appeared in front of them, and landed accurately in the hands of the three of them.
To be more precise, eight jade slips fell exactly into the palms of each of the three of them.
There were eight other jade slips that did not fall. Instead, they kept circling around them, like birds that could not find a "landing place" and had to continue flying in the air.
This scene made the three of them feel a little strange.
Because these jade slips were originally supposed to be sent to Lian Ziling.
These four days, the four of them have been acting together. There was a fierce internal fight between the three of them and Lian Ziling, and they have not told anyone else yet.
The Observation Hall continued to perform its duties according to past inertia, which is why the current scene happened.
However, the three people's attention quickly turned away from this trivial matter.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically as they breathed.
The eight jade slips come from eight different wilderness areas.
This time, perhaps because the incident was too important, the Observation Hall did not even sort it out, but immediately forwarded the first-hand information submitted by the guarding pills everywhere.
Eight jade slips from eight different wilderness areas, but they all say the same thing.
Originally, among the eight fourth-level evil places scattered in the eight wilderness areas that had been covered by them with the black evil mist formation, strong power fluctuations suddenly spread out.
The Black Evil Mist Array with the fourth-level quality could not stop it at all, and the powerful wave spread across the eight wilderness areas at the fastest speed.
Originally, the situation that had only been suppressed with a mass killing method because of the arrival of the four Nascent Soul Lords was "revived" again.
None of the three of them cared much about this.
What they attach most importance to is the description of the violent power fluctuations coming from the depths of the Black Evil Mist Array.
Because the description is clear and accurate enough, there are a large number of first-hand images as supporting reference, plus their own experience.
Regarding the great changes coming from the depths of the Black Evil Mist Formation, the three of them had the same judgment almost at the same time.
——There are beings in those eight fourth-level evil places, breaking through.
The violent fluctuations in power that even the Black Evil Mist Formation could not conceal were signs that the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation was rapidly condensing.
At this moment, the faces of the three of them were ugly.
"Fourth Junior Sister" reminded softly: "It is also possible that it is not the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, but the True Spirit Tribulation!"
"Elder Senior Brother" and "Second Senior Sister" quickly woke up.
Based on the opponent's ability, even if he chooses a third-level spiritual vein guarded by the Constellation Palace Formation Pill to upgrade, he can still succeed.
So, why didn’t the other party choose the third-level spiritual vein that was more beneficial to the monks?
After thinking about this, the faces of the two people became even uglier.
"Fourth Junior Sister" looked at the two of them and asked, "What should we do now?"
At this moment, both "Elder Senior Brother" and "Second Senior Sister" felt the pain of choice.
They have also understood the "evil" intentions of the being who secretly manipulated all this.
Now, should they continue to stay here and wait?
Or should we go to the Outer Lands again and try our best to sabotage this large-scale breakthrough? ()
