Thunder rolled in the sky, lightning loomed like snakes, and green light bloomed on the ground. Large forests seemed to be growing crazily in a state of accelerated time, and the wooden structures extended and made a clicking sound, making people mistakenly think that it was a ferocious and greedy giant beast below.
Roaring.
Xuan Weizi stood in the air, watching quietly as Sandoli manipulated the magic spring, extracting blue-white light snake-like lightning energy from it, and instilled it into the king of creeping monsters on the ground, turning it into a ghostly land that stretched for several miles.
Green woodland.
After the previous battle outside Pile Town, the strength of the King of Shrub Monsters is obvious to all. In fact, it can also be regarded as a legendary monster. Its vitality is so strong that even if dozens of mid-to-high-level spirit messengers cast spells and attacks, they cannot destroy it.
.
But this king of creeping monsters has no clear mind. Without the spiritual control of Xuan Weizi, it would be a half-plant, half-oak giant monster that only knows how to devour and eat. It is not comparable to an existence like Casta.
However, Xuan Weizi also roughly understands that the legendary level is probably more of a way of expression, and may not be a clear boundary for analysis. It does not mean that reaching the legendary level will elevate all aspects to an extraordinary state.
Just like the legendary assassin who accompanied the Ether Society mage, he still focused on stealth assassination, honed his assassination skills to the extreme, and mastered superb stealth skills.
To be honest, if Casta hadn't suddenly appeared to disrupt the battle, Xuan Weizi wouldn't have been able to block the legendary assassin's assassination with full confidence. Although with his ability and habits, there was no need to block it.
Even though he was as strong as Casta, he was still seriously injured by the legendary assassin's sharp blade. But even though the legendary assassin had such extraordinary assassination skills, it didn't mean that he could turn a blind eye to powerful spells.
It can be said that although legendary characters do undergo some kind of transformation and transformation at the life level, these are more incidental results rather than the purpose. The focus of different legendary characters is still on the training of their respective skills and the exploration of their potential.
.
To be more precise, it is the deep integration of various skills with their own lives and souls that allows them to be promoted to the legendary level. The increase in soul strength and the improvement of life constitution are the results of constantly honing skills and exercising abilities, rather than like
Just like in a video game, what skills and expertise do you choose after upgrading?
From this point of view, promotion to the legendary level and Taoist cultivation are completely different things. From the beginning, Taoists have been aiming to "live forever and transform into immortals". It is clear that the main focus is on transforming and improving life levels.
The purpose is that magical powers are only to assist Taoist practice and protect oneself from disasters, but are not the foundation of Taoism. Some Taoist sects even place great emphasis on Taoism and despise magic.
Even though Taoism already pays great attention to the effectiveness of magic spells, it still pursues "Tao as the body and Dharma as the use". Basically, it is based on physical and mental practice as the basis for understanding Taoism. It also believes that those who cannot achieve internal refining will have difficulty in making magic spells effective. None
Practicing magic and magic without internal training is an unwise move that harms oneself and damages one's vitality and destiny.
But in the final analysis, this is because the rules and regulations of the two worlds are different. In this world, it is much simpler to contact the external forces related to casting spells than on earth.
Even Xuan Weizi had to survive the catastrophe of vacuum in his previous life before he could control the wind and waves, summon fire and lightning with the "method of controlling the invisible mass", and only after going through the catastrophe of bone-changing, could he control the weapon and fly into the sky. Looking at the past world,
There are very few people who can prove such a state.
However, in this world, apprentices who have just come into contact with arcane arts can create a trick called "Dancing Lights" with some diligence. Among the first-level arcane spells are "Burning Hands" and "Mage Armor", which are both offensive and defensive.
Although in the process of studying arcane arts and improving the level of arcane spells, the vitality and thinking consciousness of mages will be more or less catalyzed by arcane energy and increase, but unless they enter a higher level, what will they master?
He has extraordinary powers, otherwise he wouldn't have an overly strong physique.
But those who practice Taoism, on the other hand, through physical and mental coordination and practice, condense the vitality of the furnace and improve the level of life, so as to reach the realm of earthly immortals who live forever and the sun is immortal, and finally seek to transcend reincarnation and escape from life and death.
Achievements. The corresponding "spellcasting ability" is often confirmed by the improvement of life level, clear spiritual consciousness, strong inner energy, and various signs of extraordinary physical and mental manifestations. Only then can there be a basis for practicing advanced magic powers.
Even so, it does not mean that those who practice Taoism must have great spiritual power and profound magic. The Taoism that guides physical and mental cultivation is nothing more than providing a state of mind that is in harmony with heaven and earth, and a body that is in harmony with nature.
The way to get along with nature, heaven, earth, and all things in the world.
As for those who say that if you become an Earth Immortal, you can wipe out thousands of miles with a divine thunder, and move mountains and seas with just one move, or even say that the Heavenly Immortal and the Golden Immortal can capture the stars and the moon, and revive the earth, water, wind, and fire, they are all delusions and fools.
Conjecture is not enough.
It can only be said that if you have reached a state of physical and mental cultivation, it is indeed easier to learn certain spells. But if you have thoughts such as "mastering spells, acquiring power, and having vast supernatural powers" in your heart, don't expect to be able to get close to the magic of the immortal family.
During the Demon Realm Tribulation, this thought can evoke all kinds of illusions about having boundless magical powers. In the subsequent Tribulation of Delusional Minds, it is enough to make people completely addicted and unable to escape.
Therefore, even if Xuan Weizi travels to another world as a Yang god, takes over the body of a psychic, and re-cultivates the alchemy path several times, he may not be able to advance to the legendary level. Now he has also recalled that the realm of alchemy, the legendary level, and the level of spell casting
There is no inevitable correspondence, and there is no saying that one can master certain magic skills by reaching a certain level of cultivation.
Especially now that he has passed through the vacuum tribulation and is working towards a completely new life, he is gradually drifting away from his spiritual powers.
When Xuan Weizi set up and operated the Star Outline Altar, although he still used psychic powers, the spell casting process had already begun to connect the inside and outside, linking the power of heaven and earth, and was somewhat similar to spirit messengers, druids, etc.
But it is just a similarity. The original spirit messengers and druids not only wanted to get close to nature, but also wanted to get closer and merge with nature. For example, high-level druids like Tar Valon and Onvino
Yes, their magical abilities and physical and mental state inevitably show certain forms and tendencies of nature. In the eyes of Taoists, this is still a deviation from Taoism.
Xuan Weizi's practice of alchemy is to use the small world of the human body to communicate with the big world, and to build a perfect and harmonious "heaven and earth" structure with his own body, mind and life. However, the world is not benevolent, has no relatives, no favors, no partiality and no preferences.
There is no strong direction to speak of. Wind, thunder, water and fire, earth trembling and mountains shaking, vegetation budding, running wolves and chasing rabbits, the sun rising and the moon setting, the flow of life and death, are all natural phenomena of heaven and earth.
Although Taoist cultivation itself is not for the pursuit of magical powers, the world is different and the rules are different. In this world, you can regulate your body and mind and cultivate your life. If you reach a certain state, you will indeed master certain special abilities according to your physical and mental state.
"Start with magic and realize the connection and communication between body, mind, heaven and earth through the use of magic?" Xuan Weizi said to himself thoughtfully.
At this time, the thunder in the sky gradually subsided, and Sandoli took the initiative to fly over and said: "This magical spring has been almost exhausted, and it will take at least a year or two to recover."
The magic spring around the Xingang Altar is not an endless source of energy. If the Xingang Altar and the pulse of the earth are compared to the melting snow on the mountain peaks, then the magic source is the barrier lake halfway up the mountain, which itself will release full energy to the outside.
All kinds of magic energy overflow. However, if it is used and consumed without restraint, the magic spring will be temporarily exhausted, and the pulse of the earth will be slowly generated and transformed to replenish the magic energy.
What Sandoli had just done was to extract all the lightning energy from a magical spring in the south of Woodpile Town and use it to charge the King of Scroungers so that it would continue to grow and grow.
The king of creeping monsters seems to accept all comers, and the more the merrier. Thunder and lightning that can kill thousands of people struck it. There is no energy overload at all, and it continues to expand and grow in a way that exceeds common sense. The ground is four to five miles in diameter right now.
, has turned into a dense and prosperous forest, with lush green leaves, giant vines, and thick plant roots that destroy the terrain, arching up the mud and stone clods underground and forming them into hills, making the terrain in the forest rugged.
, it looks very...natural, without any trace of artificial carving.
In short, based on what Sandoli has seen now, she feels that this king of creeping monsters is completely beyond her imagination. She knows that this is a defense method created by Xuan Weizi for Chai Dui Town, but it can grow into a monster with a radius of four or five miles.
It's still too exaggerated. "Super giant" can't describe its size at all.
"It's hard to understand, isn't it?" Xuan Weizi looked at the green forest on the ground. Although it was lush and lush, which was somewhat different from the current seasonal climate, he could sense that the king of creeping monsters was slowly communicating with the information from the outside world.
It communicates with the currents and begins to transform its internal vitality, making its vegetation ecology consistent with the local environment and climate.
Sandori nodded slightly, and Xuan Weizi said: "Actually, the scale has not reached the limit of the King of Sprawl Monsters."
"Isn't this the limit?" Sandori said in surprise: "If an enemy breaks into this forest rashly, I can't imagine what the consequences will be."
Xuan Weizi smiled and said: "No one would break into the forest for no reason. If you are proficient in prophecy magic or your senses are sharp enough, you can detect the abnormalities in this forest. And for such a large body, it is slow to move.
In the extreme, it is worse than ordinary people walking. It can be used as a positional defense or a trap to lure enemies, but you cannot rely on it to actively attack."
Sandori still remembered the situation when the king of the creeping monsters killed everyone in the Glanfaz army, and said with some regret: "That is really a pity... You should be able to control this monster, right?"
"Okay." Xuan Weizi turned around and asked, "Do you want to learn?"
Sandori asked with some shame: "Am I a little greedy? It's obvious that I haven't fully mastered what you taught me."
Xuan Weizi's face was stunned, and he laughed inexplicably.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Sandori asked quickly.
"No." Xuan Weizi shook his head and said: "But if you want to learn, I can't really teach you, because I control the king of creeping monsters, using psychic powers and using magic circles to increase the effectiveness of my psychic powers. I
This king of creeping monsters has been anchored in a corner of the magic circle. If not, this monster would be a disaster elsewhere, devouring living creatures without restraint."
As a legendary monster created by ancient giants, the King of Creeping Monsters is a war weapon against the dragons. Its purpose is to destroy the environment in which the dragons and their relatives live. Perhaps they never thought of imposing any containment measures from the beginning.
But it just so happens that among the half-giant's psychic powers, there is the "Starlight Shrub Monster" that can control the Shrub Monster King. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
Xuan Weizi then thought of what Casta had said to him, which revealed that half-giants were also involved in the "ladder of ascent" of ancient giants, but the half-giants seemed to have other deceptions.
"It seems that the half-giant's approach is like leaving a private backdoor for the ancient giant's creation, so that he can intervene."
Xuan Weizi is now more wary of the group of psychics in the star world. He really wonders if they will leave any "backdoor" in the psychic powers they teach.
At the moment, Xuan Weizi is not in a hurry to study Casta in the sealed gem. Although this guy was defeated by himself, it is more difficult to deal with than the Son of Holy Scale and the Prince of Earth. Now that Xuan Weizi's cultivation is damaged, he really can't
If you plan to take risks in a hurry, let him continue to be sealed.
"If you want to learn how to control the creeping monster, you can go to the Druid of Ta Valon and discuss with him how to improve the 'Command Plant' or the 'Control Plant' to achieve the effect of controlling the creeping monster." Xuan Weizi pointed at the creeping monster below.
The King of Monsters said: "This behemoth itself can also be split. The big one cannot be controlled, but the small one can still try it."
According to what the incarnation said, Xuan Weizi did not plan to understand all the spells by himself, but just pointed out the general direction for Sandori and let her try and research on her own. The Star Order is not only a church organization that gathers together based on common understanding, but also
Soul spells and natural spells should be improved. After all, in this world, if you focus on Taoism and despise magic, you will really not be able to survive.
"Okay, I'll invite everyone from the Green Ring to study it later." Sandoli is now more confident. Although she is not strong enough to command the members of the Green Ring in Chai Dui Town, her status as the chief priest of the Star Order also allows her to
He has a status that is lower than that of one person and lower than ten thousand people in Chaidui Town.
"By the way, there is another incident recently." Sandori said: "There is a large group of ogres and goblins who want to settle near Woodpile Town. This may not be very stable."
"Oh, are they the group of ogres and goblins ordered by Akuma Matata?"
However, after Akuma Matata controlled these ogres and goblins, he was reluctant to let them go. After all, the snow goblin wizard had never experienced such a "high position". And the original one
The cramped cave cannot accommodate so many goblins and ogres, so it is natural to find another place to live.
But with thousands of goblins and dozens of ogres, Shandoli really couldn't trust them to live near Chai Dui Town. This also had to take into account the possible future expansion of Chai Dui Town.
Land is the basis for creating and carrying wealth. Sandoli now has a general understanding of it, and the struggle over land is often life-and-death, and it is impossible to give in. At the moment, the land around Chaidui Town is not tense, but some things must be done.
Think about the future.
Xuan Weizi pondered for a moment and then said: "I will personally talk to Akuma Matata about this matter. Goblins and ogres have looser living environment requirements than humans, but some things must be prepared in advance."
