Chapter 6: Failure
"If there's really anything in this world that can help you, it's going to be this thing. ”
When he first heard Yuejian's words, Ling Xian was so excited that he almost jumped up, and he had finally come to this point after all the hard work. However, Ling Xian quickly reacted, and the meaning of this sentence seemed to ......
"You mean you're not sure this thing can help me?" Ling Xian stared at Tsukimi's face tightly, hoping to hear a negative answer from her mouth, but it was clear that Ling Xian was going to be disappointed.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Yuejian's pretty face, "I really can't be sure ......" Seeing Ling Xian's face darkened instantly, he hurriedly said, "But there is still a lot of hope." ”
Ling Xian knew that this could not be blamed on Yuejian, for the world, how to change the talent since it was given by God, this kind of thing was too fantastical, Yuejian naturally had not tried it, and there was no way to know if the cobblestone was effective.
And listening to the meaning of Tsukimi's words, this thing must be an extremely precious treasure, and it is not easy for Tsukimi to take it out for him, so how can he ask for too much.
Ling Xian felt that the tone of his words just now was wrong, and quickly adjusted his emotions, and then apologized to Yuejian: "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now, if it really doesn't work......" Ling Xian thought of this, his expression was a little gloomy, and he sighed and said, "Maybe it's fate." ”
Yue Jian sensed Ling Xian's loss, pondered for a moment, and slowly explained to Ling Xian: "Now there is definitely no such method in the cultivation world that can change talent, and those legends you listen to are just nonsense, and they can't be true. If you really want to find a way, you have to go back to ancient times, but ancient times are too far away from us, and there was a great war in between, and everything about ancient times seems to have been wiped out after that war, and this thing is one of the few things that I know of that has been left over from ancient times. ”
Only then did Ling Xian know that the ordinary-looking cobblestone in Yuejian's hand had such a big origin, and he was more and more grateful to Yuejian in his heart.
Ling Xian carefully took the stone from Yuejian's hand, held it in his hands and looked at it carefully, except that he felt that his hand was more warm, he didn't feel any difference from ordinary stones, and looked at Yuejian with some curiosity: "How should I use this?"
Yuejian was a little distracted, "What about this......"
Ling Xian's eyes widened instantly, "Don't tell me you haven't used this thing at all!" Ling Xian couldn't help but have a suspicious look on his face, this Nizi couldn't just find a stone to fool me, right......
Yue Jian saw that Ling Xian was almost suspicious of the two big characters written on his face, and he immediately became angry and took back the stone from Ling Xian's hand. But he threw it into the sky casually, and before the stone reached the highest point, his hands instantly formed a formation, and he shouted: "Fire." A cluster of dark blue flames appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire stone.
Although Yue Jian was a little angry, Ling Xian doubted himself, but he was still extremely measured. Afraid that Ling Immortal on the side would be burned by the flames, Yuejian added a small formation to isolate the heat of the flames at the moment when the flames were formed. However, Yuejian didn't want to let Ling Xian go, and secretly opened a small gap in Ling Xian's place.
Feeling the heat wave coming from in front of him, a drop of cold sweat swept across Ling Xian's forehead, and Ling Xian remembered that although the beauty in front of him looked beautiful on the outside, her strength was extremely strong. Ling Xian felt more sweat on his face, and he didn't know if it was hot or frightened.
Suddenly, Ling Xian couldn't feel a trace of heat, and when he looked up, the flames had not disappeared. Ling Xian was a little strange, thought about it for a while, and saw that Yuejian was secretly observing himself on the side, and his heart suddenly became abrupt.
It turned out that although Yue Jian wanted to punish Ling Xian a little, he also knew Ling Xian's strength, and was afraid that Ling Xian would really be hurt, so he had been secretly observing Ling Xian from the side, and seeing a few drops of sweat on Ling Xian's face, the little anger in his heart instantly disappeared, but he was even more worried, so he hurriedly filled that gap again.
However, she didn't know that although Ling Xian was weak, she was not so weak that she couldn't even withstand this faint trace of heat, and the sweat on Ling Xian's face was not because of heat, but because she was scared.
Ling Xian suddenly found that the flames in front of him seemed to be a little deeper than just now, and when he looked at Yuejian, he found that the two ears that were faintly pointed under Yuejian's hair were dyed with a layer of red, but it was Yuejian who had already noticed that Ling Xian's small movements just now had been noticed, and he could only use this mysterious stone to vent his anger in shame.
Looking at the cute appearance of the moon in front of her, Ling Xian suddenly felt that she was not a peerless master, but more like a slightly playful girl. Thinking of this, Ling Xian's face couldn't help but have a hint of a smile.
Although Ling Xian was still a little confused about the sudden burning of the stone by Yuejian, he had already believed that this was not an ordinary stone, just kidding, what ordinary stone could last so long in a flame that was obviously not an ordinary thing? Ling Xian's heart ignited a glimmer of hope again, and he was even more curious about the strange stone in front of him.
Yuejian was over there to "barbecue" this mysterious stone for much longer than Ling Xian had imagined. Just when Ling Xian and the others were about to get impatient, the flames in front of them finally changed slightly. The originally black stone suddenly emitted a pale cyan light, and the dark blue flames wrapped around it were swallowed up and disappeared in an instant.
Ling Xian hurriedly looked at Yuejian, worried that she would be devoured by it, but Yuejian seemed to have expected it, and there was nothing serious, but the continuous spell casting just now was also a great drain on her, sweat slid down the tips of her hair, and her face was slightly pale.
The mysterious stone over there changed a little after devouring the flames, only to see its light become more and more intense, and suddenly seven illusory shadows appeared next to it, but they were seven faint figures, seven people were sitting or lying, or looking up to the sky and smiling, or holding swords to the sky.
And the moment the figure appeared, the cyan light was reabsorbed by the mysterious stone, leaving only the faint seven shadows surrounding it.
"That's the seal of that stone," Tsukimi explained as he walked over to Ling Xian, who was already stunned. "That stone seems to have been sealed by some powerful being, so it is difficult for ordinary people and others to recognize its true face, so they just regard it as an ordinary stone. ”
Ling Xian didn't care about the faint sarcasm in Yuejian's words, the more he came into contact, the more Ling Xian felt that although Yuejian was powerful, he seemed to be a little girl-like character, this kind of little joke Ling Xian didn't take it to heart, his mind was all attracted by the strange scene in front of him.
"That seal is the most powerful seal I've ever seen, and I can only force it to show up with all my might, and I even suspect that no one in the world can open it with brute force now, but people in ancient times were very particular about fate, maybe I just didn't have this fate. Yue Jian saw the eagerness on Ling Xian's face, and he also became serious, and explained carefully to Ling Xian.
Ling Xian felt a little worried in his heart, the theory of fate was too illusory, but he had no choice now, he could only step forward, hoping that he could have this legendary fate.
Ling Xian hadn't observed too clearly in the distance just now, but now he walked in and had a deeper feeling. Ling Xian originally thought that the seven illusory shadows were just projections left behind when the spell was cast.
Cultivators in the Xianyuan Continent often leave their own projection on the seal when casting a seal, and the projection contains a trace of the caster's soul power, which can maximize the power of the seal left.
However, although leaving soul power can strengthen the seal, leaving too much soul power behind will also cause a lot of damage to oneself, so that soul power is often only a trace, and the projection left behind is only similar to a dull portrait.
But the shadow in front of Ling Xian's eyes could not be described as dull, and Ling Xian even felt as if there were seven living people standing in front of him. Just standing in front of you, you can feel a huge oppressive force rushing towards your face.
Ling Xian didn't know what to do at all, so he thought about it for a while, tried to bite off his finger according to the usual routine in novels in his previous life, and dripped a drop of blood on the stone floating in front of him, hoping that a miracle would happen.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no change, Ling Xian was unwilling, and tried to squeeze out a few drops of blood, but in vain after all.
Ling Xian again, but it didn't have any effect, and even when Ling Xian tried to input his vitality into it, he was almost injured by a burst of anti-shock force coming out of the stone, fortunately, Ling Xian's vitality was too weak, and the anti-shock force was not strong, so Ling Xian was not injured.
Gradually, Ling Xian's heart was cold from the beginning with a glimmer of hope to the end, Ling Xian no longer dared to have a glimmer of hope, just numbly kept trying, the constant attempts were a painful torture for Ling Xiandi's body and spirit, but Ling Xian didn't dare to stop, no matter how painful the attempt was, it was a glimmer of hope after all, if he stopped, there was really no hope.
Suddenly, Ling Xian found that the figure in front of him was slowly fading, and for a moment there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, could it be that his attempt really worked? Ling Xian felt that his hands trembled slightly.
However, soon Ling Xian felt that something was wrong, although the shadow in front of the person's eyes was slowly fading, and even about to disappear, but the stone did not change, and a frightened thought instantly attacked Ling Xian: Yue Xian's energy input just now was about to run out.
Just now, it was the energy input of the moon stone through the flame that activated its seal, but after all, the energy input of the moon stone is limited, and after the energy in the stone is exhausted, there is no way to compete with the seal, and it will change back to its original appearance.
Ling Xian, who figured it out, instantly became even more anxious in his heart, and tried all kinds of methods he could come up with like crazy, and even took the risk of inputting all the vitality of his whole body into it, but this time he was not injured again, but it was not successful, and after the yuan force was infused into it, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, without causing a single ripple.
Ling Xian looked around blankly, where were the seven figures, the stone in front of him had changed to its original primitive appearance, and the seal had completely fallen silent.
Ling Xian, failed.
