Chapter 2: The Emperor's Test
"Yingkong, your temper and personality are very much in line with my appetite. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you know that you don't have the same conversation qualifications as me, but you still try your best to achieve what you want; you are clearly very interested in asking for immortals, but you can do not forget the past, do not forget the past. The Buddhist Buddha may say that you are obsessed with anger and obsession, but this is just like me when I was younger. You're very good, very suitable to be my disciple..."
"The emperor promised to accept me as a disciple, don't worry, Lord Emperor, I am a natural talent, I can't forget, and I can learn anything quickly. Accept me as an apprentice, and you will definitely be able to glorify your master, and you will definitely not be insulted. Before Emperor Ziwei could finish speaking, Yingkong interrupted him and hurriedly said. Yingkong looked at Emperor Ziwei with a look of anticipation. seems to have forgotten that he had said before that the choice of inheritance was too arbitrary, and he would lose his status as an emperor.
"No, I won't just take you as an apprentice. You are related to this seat, and this seat also likes your character, but there is one point, your luck is too good, and this seat happens to dislike guys who are too lucky. Emperor Ziwei smiled, "Yingkong, if you really want to worship me as a teacher, you must pass the test of this seat!"
"How will the emperor test me?"
As soon as Emperor Ziwei flicked his fingers, there was a path of light, connecting between Yingkong and the emperor, and there were three quaint portals on the path of light. Emperor Ziwei said: "Through this road, come to me, that is, this is the disciple of this seat!"
Yingkong Su believed in himself, and since Emperor Ziwei said so, he also decided to pass the test. Besides, Yingkong could see that Emperor Ziwei had the intention to take himself as an apprentice, and since this was the case, no matter how difficult the test was, it was expected to pass after all. If someone can pass, Yingkong doesn't think he can't get through. Emperor Ziwei stood in the air in front of him, and most of the light path was also suspended in the air. Yingkong looked down, a little panicked in his heart, but Yingkong's quality was indeed excellent, he took a deep breath, looked ahead, walked forward slowly, and found the first portal after a while. Yingkong stepped through the portal and entered another space.
It appears to be an attic, surrounded by bookshelves filled with books and numerous square white marbles. "Your Excellency, may I ask where this is?" asked Yingkong.
"This is the thinking space of this building, and this attic was specially created by me to test you. The attic has nine floors, each separated by a maze. The books and jade slips in the building record the basic knowledge of the various formations. Solve the puzzle within the time limit, and the level is over. Emperor Ziwei replied with a smile.
After listening to Yingkong, he began to break the formation, of course, he first had to read the book, understand the necessary professional knowledge, and learn professional skills. The content recorded in the book can be reflected in the mind when it is opened, and the jade slip is attached to the center of the eyebrows, and the record inside is also left in the heart. Yingkong has the ability to never forget, he clearly knows that this kind of memory is just a forced memory, in order to understand and master mastery, you also need to think, comprehend, calculate, study and even experiment. It may be that the thinking space is different from other places, Yingkong found that there is no excessive use of the brain here, and the mind will not be tired and tired. Under such high-intensity mental work, there seems to be a strange energy supplement that does not reduce the efficiency of his comprehension. In this way, Yingkong continued to read, think, and check the maze...
To put it simply, the formation is a way of running and using the vitality, rules, and avenues between heaven and earth. "The mystery of the array is mysterious, the breadth and profundity is simply intoxicating!" Yingkong exclaimed. After Yingkong's collation, most of the formations recorded here can be regarded as a composite of multiple single formations. From the perspective of Yingkong, there are more than 7,000 kinds of single formation methods that cannot be decomposed, and perhaps with the improvement of Yingkong's realm, this number will change. Yingkong understood the way of the formation in this attic into a language composed of more than 7,000 letters and extremely complex grammar. Yingkong continuously immersed his mind in the comprehension of the formation, and could not perceive the flow of time, I don't know how long it has passed, Yingkong has realized that he has gained a little from this language, at least it is not difficult to solve the maze.
Attic top floor. "Hahaha~" Yingkong stood there laughing wildly, his face full of joy. "Mr. Emperor, I have solved all the puzzles! I don't know how long it has passed, and whether it has exceeded the time limit you set. There was confidence in Yingkong's tone, and there was a hint of show-off that he didn't even notice. It's like a little child who shows off like an elder.
"You seem to be very happy?" Emperor Ziwei asked with a smile on his face when he appeared in front of Yingkong in an instant.
"It's really fun. I really like the feeling of achieving something after working hard, and it's very fulfilling. Especially for such a difficult project, the excitement after the completion of the project is simply intoxicating and I can't extricate myself. Yingkong replied honestly.
"Yingkong, it's really good that you can pass this level. In particular, your method of dissolving the formation can be called a high-level position, straight to the essence, which is very rare. Emperor Ziwei praised Yingkong Dao, "And your time to break the formation is much less than the time I calculated, which made me a little surprised." ”
"Then how long did it actually take me?" Yingkong wanted to know the specific time and asked the emperor.
"This place is my mind space, and what you think of as the flow of time is meaningless. You've had a very beautiful time at this level, let's go to the next level!" Emperor Ziwei said. After saying that, the attic disappeared, and Yingkong stood on the path of light again, and not far in front of him, there was the second portal.
I don't know what kind of space is in this door. Thinking so, Yingkong stepped into the second portal with curiosity and excitement.
This time, Yingkong did not appear in the attic, he stood on the towering city wall. Inside the city walls is a bustling city of immortal cultivators, and outside the walls is a desolate wilderness, a wall that seems to separate the two worlds.
"This city is about to be attacked by the wasteland monster beasts, you stand on the wall, as the guardian of the city, use all means to kill all the monsters and protect the city, you can pass the test. Of course, you are not required to succeed once. Twenty chances, within twenty times, even if you are crushed by the demon beast, you have a chance to start over. Emperor Ziwei appeared and explained the rules to Yingkong.
"Emperor, all the means I can use are nothing more than the way of formation that I learned in the attic. But it takes all kinds of materials to arrange the formation, there is nothing here, and my means can't be used!" Yingkong said.
"In this city, I have given you the power to make all things come true. This way you can play to your heart's content. "Emperor Ziwei said.
"Then I'll try!" said Yingkong excitedly. Yingkong thought about the name of a material, he had never seen the material before, but at the moment he thought, the material appeared in his hand. Yingkong knew that he couldn't create something he didn't understand, and it should belong to the emperor's creation. Emperor Ziwei's supernatural powers are really incredible. Yingkong began to set up the array, and the maze array can be used in the attic, but the trapped array and the killing array need to be designed and built by themselves. The books in the attic, the trapped and killing arrays in the jade slips, are mostly introductory basic formations, with limited power, embarrassing and useful, and the protection of the city is obviously insufficient.
Yingkong quickly completed the first construction, and after completing the formation, he said: "Emperor, I have completed the formation, let the demon beasts attack the city!" This time the construction is actually very simple, after all, he has never seen the demon beast attack the city, there is no intuitive concept, it is difficult to design. This time it's a test of the waters.
Boom, the earth trembled, smoke and dust rolled, and the monsters rushed in. Although the city wall is majestic, the demon beast does not seem small compared to the city wall. Demon beasts are different from beasts, not only are they huge, but they also have their own magical powers. With a wave of his empty hand, the formation activated, blocking in front of the city wall, trying to block the attack of the demon beast. The maze was launched, and the demon beast was unable to move forward for the time being. Yingkong was about to start the trapped array, and wanted to launch it together with the maze, when a four-legged yellow bird hovered and flew up to the sky, his eyes shot out of the mystery, shining on the maze, and the beasts in the maze were guided, and the maze was broken together. The trapped array had to be launched alone, but after a few breaths, the trapped array was forcibly broken open by the six-winged snake inside and the black-toothed giant elephant! Before the killing array could be opened, the demon beast group had already come under the city wall. A giant black bear rose up and slammed into the wall, while the majestic demon ape on the other side jumped up and kicked at the wall. Soon, the city walls shattered, and Yingkong was hit by a golden rhinoceros and trampled into powder.
As if going back in time, Yingkong watched his body gradually become intact, the broken city wall was gradually repaired, and the demon beast retreated. Yingkong, who had died once, stood on the city wall, thinking about how to design the formation method in a targeted manner.
"Emperor, I'm ready. Let's get started."
・・・・・・
Again and again, Yingkong was killed by the demon beast again and again, but each time he improved. For the seventeenth time, Yingkong arranged the killing array on the city wall, and the trapped array and the maze were jointly launched. In addition, four independent formations were designed, respectively for the leader of the demon beast group, the yellow bird, the big snake, the black bear, the giant elephant and the demon ape. This time, Yingkong's idea was a success. The demon beasts were slaughtered, and the city was not damaged at all. Yingkong looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
"Very good!", Emperor Ziwei praised, "You haven't seen other cultivators, you don't compare, you can't feel how amazing what you're doing." I can tell you: nothing more than that!". Emperor Ziwei added: "This city is my practice place when I was young, in the past, the demon beast group invaded the city, and this seat guarded the city with a sword, and finally killed the demon beasts, but I was also exhausted and unconscious for several days. How easy and chic as you are. ”
"You can't compare with the emperor! You can protect the city with one person and one sword, but I don't know how many good materials and treasures have been consumed, the essence of heaven and earth. Yingkong said. He really felt that it was much more chic and domineering to fight with swords and protect one side than to design a formation.
"Count you kid sensible!" said Emperor Ziwei with a smile. But I secretly thought in my heart, it really can't be compared, what cultivation I did at that time, what kind of cultivation does Yingkong have now, but I am just a mortal.
