237 Six Stone Real People
To this day, the Samadhi can still clearly remember the first time he saw the Void Stone.
It was in the late stage of the Battle of the Void Stone, and the sect, masters, and brothers of the Samadhi Zhenren at that time had already been scattered because of the long battle, and around the Xuanniao, at least thousands of flying swords spun wildly at the speed of a blender, ruthlessly tearing everyone who entered into it to pieces.
And outside of this purgatory, there are constantly more flying swords joining it, and there are also people who control them and fall victim to them. Everyone's sacrifice was just for one thing—the brilliant blue flash of the void stone in the Xuanniao.
It can be said that the iconic light of the Void Stone, every time it appears, it will inevitably be accompanied by endless bloody rain. This light represents the rise and glory of a sect, but it is also the eternal nightmare of their opponents.
The temptation of a void stone full of spiritual energy when it emits light is unstoppable for every cultivator.
And now, in front of the Samadhi True Person and Yan Xiu, less than a few hundred steps away, in the hands of the Immortal Daoist, there is such a light. The brilliance of their bloom is almost moved even by the well-informed true samadhi.
Because even he, as the head of the previous Nine Great Sects, had never seen such an incredible scene in front of him.
It was a full six, completely filled with spiritual energy.
As the former leader of the Nine Great Sects Alliance, Samadhi Zhenren naturally knew that in the entire Nine Great Sects, almost every sect had the Void Stone as the treasure of the sect - the Void Stone itself seemed to be a qualification and a sign for joining the Nine Great Sects.
However, this does not mean that everyone can sit on an equal footing if they have the Void Stone, the Void Stone is just the threshold, what really determines the status of a sect, as well as the abundance of aura in the Void Stone, as well as the efficiency of a sect's use of aura.
The history of the Nine Great Sects can be traced back to more than three hundred years after the appearance of the Ascension Realm, and there has been a prototype.
In the Ascension Realm, the Void Stone was not mythologized to such a point, and for most people, this kind of thing that can store almost unlimited amounts of spiritual energy is not actually used as a spirit stone, but as a magic weapon.
At that time, the cultivators all called it the Spirit Reservoir Stone - as you can hear from the name, this kind of thing obviously does not have any special functions, and the only use is that it is more convenient to carry than ordinary spirit stones.
But soon, because of the emergence of a large number of sects, the need for spiritual energy reserves in many sects became higher and higher. When ordinary spirit stones could not meet the needs of some major sects at all, the status of the spirit stone storage at that time naturally attracted special attention.
It didn't take a few decades for this kind of thing to become a kind of symbol of the big sect - because the small sect didn't need this kind of thing at all. Only when the sect is large enough and has accumulated enough spiritual energy can it finally inject enough spiritual energy into the Void Stone - let it bloom with light.
As for the future, it was discovered that the replenishment speed of its spiritual energy, especially the replenishment speed of magic weapons, was completely different from that of ordinary spirit stones, and this feature was combined with the Qianyang Finger...... That's a long, long time later, the story of the real samadhi.
Before this, and even now, the biggest role of the Void Stone is still to reserve aura. And between the sects, the biggest effect of the Void Stone is to use the prepared aura to dispel any attempt by the other party to oppress themselves by force.
It can almost be described as simply, if the spirit stone is exchanged for money, then the virtual stone is like a huge bank check that can be cashed at any time. In fact, in the Ascension Realm, the use of spiritual energy is far more powerful than money countless times stronger.
The most effective and direct way for a company to acquire the other party's company, or not to be acquired by the other party, is to take out a huge check and put it in front of the other party.
In business, money means almost everything – the moment the other person sees the number, both parties hardly have to talk anymore.
Commercially, a price can determine whether a company is acquired or continues to survive.
Similarly, in the Ascension Realm, the strength of the blue light produced by a Void Stone can also determine whether a sect continues to prosper, or if so*.
Samadhi Zhenren clearly knew that with the previous strength of the Nine Great Sects, each sect might have some Void Stones—but these Void Stones, without exception, were all the same as the one in his hand, all of which had been consumed for hundreds of years, the longest and even thousands of years.
Samadhi Zhenren has been the head of the sect for more than 700 years, and he naturally knows very well that when the spiritual energy in the Void Stone is abundant, a sect cannot control the consumption rate of spiritual energy no matter what, just like a person, after having money, he cannot control his desire to spend money no matter what.
Unlike money, money can be earned by investing as much. But in the Ascension Realm, Reiki can only be absorbed by everyone. Of course, the best sects can have the best cultivation places and have the fastest absorption speeds—but again, they will have to pay more.
The joint competition of other sects, the rash provocations of small sects that do not know whether they are alive or dead, and many people who are simply looking for death, have tried all kinds of methods to openly challenge the Qianyang Sect - the purpose is to constantly test the tactics against the Qianyang Finger.
Every time they feel that they have achieved something small, they will use a small-scale battle to verify it - if the Qianyangmen shows a little weakness, the opponent sect will not hesitate to raise the price and expand the scale of the provocation.
In the face of such increasing provocations, no matter how much aura there is, it will also face the crisis of exhaustion.
It is precisely because of this that the Samadhi real people will think of other tricks such as monopolizing flying swords and spirit stones...... to contain any possible competitors. With this method, in the past hundred years, the consumption rate of spirit stones in Qianyangmen has barely been controlled.
However, this does not mean that there is no place to spend the aura of Qianyangmen.
Before encountering Yan Xiu, even if the Samadhi Zhenren desperately used the resources of the sect to replenish the Void Stone, the highest spiritual energy reserve in his Void Stone did not exceed fifty percent. When it comes to speech cultivation, it is only about thirty percent. The lack of spiritual energy in the Void Stone is not just a problem of the Qianyang Sect. In other sects, almost every sect that has a void stone, this phenomenon exists.
In some sects that have been inherited for more than a thousand years, many of the Void Stones are basically just ornaments, not to mention full of Void Stones, and the light released cannot even be seen clearly in the dark.
In the Qianyang Sect, the Samadhi Zhenren has always been the Qiangang dictatorship, and then he can accumulate the resources of the entire sect to supply his own consumption.
However, the heads of many other sects often do not have such a strong control over the sect.
For example, there are dozens of elders of all sizes alone, and as far as Samadhi really knows, there are more than four Void Stones in One Sword Gate, but the aura in these four Void Stones, all combined, is less than seventy percent of a perfect Void Stone. Evenly dispersed, in a virtual stone, there is only one or two percent of the reserves.
The same is true for most of the other sects.
Before coming here, Samadhi's greatest confidence in this trip was that he believed that the power of the entire Nine Great Sects was actually scattered. In the face of a crisis, they will inevitably have infighting - as long as he wins over a few of them with the prestige of the former alliance leader at that time, the whole thing will easily tear a hole.
However, judging from the hands of this immortal in front of him, I'm afraid he is already a step too late.
These six Void Stones are almost the sum of the nine major factions and all the spiritual energy in the Void Stones. Even if there are other Void Stones, the aura will not exceed forty percent at most...... If you count this period of time, because of the inevitable attrition caused by the battle......
It is very likely that the aura in these six void stones is already the last reserve of the nine major factions.
As the Samadhi True Beings could imagine, for the sake of these six Void Stones, in the 40 minutes they had been waiting just now, the Immortal Daoist must have done a lot of things.
"Brother Dao!" Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, but in reality, it was just a few breaths, and the samadhi real person easily arched his hand and signaled to the other party, "Don't come to harm." ”
"Don't come unharmed." The face of the immortal Daoist did not look as relaxed as that of the Samadhi Zhenren, and there were too many things in his eyes, which made Yan Xiu behind him subconsciously vigilant, and his eyes kept staring at his movements all the time, with the flying sword behind him.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and I thought that Brother Dao had gone to the immortal," but I didn't expect to come here today...... It's just that I don't know, should I call Brother Dao the head now, or a real person? ”
Samadhi Zhenren naturally knew the meaning of his words, and he also fought back unceremoniously: "I also have this question below, I don't know the name of the Taoist brother?" Or the head. ”
The Taoist smiled lightly: "Xiaodao is shallow in his talents, how can he be compared with a real person and take on the responsibility of being in charge." As for the nickname of the trail, it is also unbearable. It's better to change the name of Xiaodao from today onwards, which can also make everyone refreshed. Liushi Dao people, real people, what do you think of this title? ”
Samadhi Zhenren laughed: "If you want to say this, wouldn't I change my name and call it Banshi Zhenren?" ”
The inverted Taoist shook his head: "Half a stone sounds too shabby." Although your faction is no longer what it used to be, after all, there is still you, the head of the family, and Qianyang fingers in hand. It's just that now, I'm afraid your faction is no longer respectful of this Qianyang finger. It's better to change the name to the Soul Eater Gate, or maybe it's called the Ten Thousand Souls Gate...... In this way, you will have the courage to swallow mountains and rivers. ”
The words of the non-inverted Taoists are obviously satirizing the fact that the Samadhi people have completely surrendered.
Samadhi Zhenren replied with a cold face: "Then according to what Brother Dao said, now this sword gate can also be renamed and called Liushimen?" But I don't know if in a few months, when I come to see Brother Dao again, will it become a five-stone gate, and then a four-stone or three-stone ......?"
After that, the Samadhi Zhenren sighed regretfully: "But I don't know, when it finally becomes a stoneless gate, will there be a chance to meet my stoneless Daoist for a while." ”
The face of the Daoist turned cold: "Brother Dao is here to ridicule us and others, isn't it as bad as your Qianyangmen defeat and surrender so quickly?" ”
Samadhi Zhenren frowned coldly: "No, this time I came here just to remind Brother Dao for the sake of the feelings that belonged to the nine major factions in the past." ”
"Reminder of what?" The inverted Taoist said, "It's nothing more than death." I don't have anything else, but I still have this backbone. ”
"Dead ......," Samadhi laughed a second time, "the death you speak of is nothing but liberation." Three months later, he is a good man again, and he will start all over again......
The face of the Immortal Daoist changed, and he obviously realized that with the current situation of the entire Ascension Realm, I was afraid that he would ......
Samadhi stared at him and coldly said the truth he was most afraid of: "One death, fear is not enough. You will have two, three, and four deaths...... When the time comes, you can give yourself a new path number with your own number of times. But...... The most terrible thing is not death...... Have you ever heard of what a prison is? ”
"Prison?"
Samadhi is humane: "It is to lock you up in one place, without aura, without anyone, without anything...... You just live and breathe. After you run out of energy, you won't feel anything, you'll be asleep forever...... You will never die, but you will never live. ”
