Chapter 0557 - Break through three trials in a row
Su Qi carefully lifted a stone slab and inlaid it into the square grooves on the ground, there were dozens of such grooves, and more than twenty of them had been filled with stone slabs, each of which was carved with complex formations, which together formed an almost hexagonal formation.
And Su Qi's task is to fill the stone slabs piled up on the side into the grooves one by one.
It may seem like a simple task, but it's actually difficult and dangerous.
The difficulty is that Su Qi must figure out the function of the formations on each stone slab in order to accurately form them into a complete and correct formation, but this is far more difficult than repairing a formation, because most of the formations are disconnected, and sometimes the formation patterns on this piece must be linked to the next one in order to know its function, but if you want to find the correct next one in a random pile of stone slabs, the difficulty is not much easier than finding a grain of rice in a bucket of sand.
As for the danger, it is even more fatal, before the start of this trial, Emperor Yun had already told him very clearly that if he overtime or failed to accurately spell the formation, he would be directly engulfed by the illusion, and his soul would turn into a character in the illusion, and he would sink forever in it.
The time given was not sufficient, but it could not be said to be short, a half-human-high green incense was inserted in the stone basin on the side, and most of it had already burned, and the whole stone room was filled with a faint smoke.
There is a large candelabra hanging on the wall of the stone room every three feet, with three arm-thick candles inserted on it, illuminating the entire stone room as if it were daylight, and the grooves on the ground occupy half of the stone room, and there is a stone door on the wall in front of and behind Su Qi, and the door behind him is open, and you can still see a lot of wooden figures inside.
However, many of the wooden figures have been broken, this is Su Qi's test in the previous level, if nothing else, there is only one such level left.
In front of the wooden table shrouded in clouds and mist, Su Qi passed five trials and also reaped five rewards, as Su Qi expected, it was the genius earth treasure of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which not only helped Su Qi expand the spiritual sea, but also the power of the five elements also molded a statue of a god that could be identified on Su Qi's god platform, if Su Qi wanted to, he could spend time to comprehend the Great Dao at any time, so as to try to condense this statue.
That would be the beginning of his real step into the God-Building Realm.
But of course he wouldn't be so rash, if Su Qi's expectations were right, since the trial was not over, there would definitely be other rewards.
Sure enough, after completing the five trials involving the basic abilities of the formation, Su Qi was thrown into an illusion again, but this time the illusion was much smaller than the last one, just a connected stone room.
It's just that each stone chamber is different.
The first room is a prison, all around, on the top of his head, on the soles of his feet, and on the six walls there is a huge formation engraved on the whole room, sealing the entire room, just like a real prisoner, Su Qi's cultivation is also completely shackled, and he can't use even a trace of aura, and there is only one needle left for him.
And his task is to use this needle to break this sealing array, so as to open the stone door on the wall.
It's a daunting task.
The formation is fragile, a powerful formation master can easily break a formation that has taken countless effort and financial resources to arrange, but the lineup is also strong and tough, if there is no correct method, only break the formation with brute force, a Tianyuan Realm monk is also very likely to not be able to break the formation laid by an empty Ming Realm monk, and many times, even if a formation is broken, it can continue to operate, but the power will be affected.
Breakage can sometimes be as high as a third.
For a formation master, it is not impossible to break the formation with a needle, the key is to find out the core node of the formation, once the core node is broken, the flow of the formation will be greatly affected, in most cases, the core node of the formation will have several or even more than a dozen, and the importance is high and low, the importance is very high, after the break will directly lead to the stagnation of the formation node is called the dead point by the formation master, and the importance is low, after breaking the formation can barely maintain the operation, it is also called the meridian point by the formation master, they are like the meridians in the monk's body, and it is the key position of the operation of qi and blood。
It is very difficult to find out the core node, which requires the formation master to fully understand the formation he is facing, and also requires the formation master to have enough experience, if it is in normal times, Su Qi still has enough opportunities to try, even if he chooses the wrong one time, it doesn't matter, but this time is different, before the trial begins, Su Qi has been told that he has and only one chance.
Fortunately, there is no time limit.
In this candlelit stone room, Su Qi had no idea how long it had taken him to finally find the dead spot, and what was speechless was that the dead spot was exactly where he had stood when he first appeared in the room.
I have to sigh the boredom of Emperor Yun.
After smashing that array into the ground and breaking the operation of the entire formation, the exhausted Su Qi walked into the second stone room.
That is, the room full of wooden figures.
These wooden figures are covered with formations, which is a very rare puppet control technique, and it is also a secret technique that belongs only to the formation master.
The formation masters carved a fine and complex formation on the wooden figure, and embedded a spiritual stone that provided spiritual energy in the wooden figure's body, and then buried a piece of rune paper that could store the formation master's divine consciousness, and they could easily control the puppet.
The task of the second level is to defeat the thirty wooden figures in the room before the green incense burns out.
And Su Qi's weapon is only a plate of silver needles, similar to the task of the first level, Su Qi needs to find the dead spot on the wooden people, so as to destroy the spiritual energy on these wooden people.
But the difficulty of this level is completely different from the first level, although the formation on these wooden people is fine, the complexity is far less than the prison formation of the first level, but these wooden people can move, and the speed is very fast, although there is no powerful magic weapon, but the wooden people's fists and feet are not vegetarian, which greatly exacerbates the difficulty of Su Qi to control the formation and find the dead spot.
But fortunately, Su Qi's aura has recovered, and at least he can deal with these wooden people.
After taking an unknown number of kicks, Su Qi broke all the wooden figures and successfully passed the second level before the incense burned out.
And the third level is exactly this huge jigsaw puzzle.
Su Qi's consciousness has gradually blurred, and the excessive consumption of his divine consciousness has caused his aura to begin to dry up, this is a painful and torturous process, and what supports him to continue to persist is just an obsession in his heart.
As the last stone slab slowly fell, there was a click on the ground.
Su Qi's heart strangely did not have any nervousness and uneasiness, but calmed down.
The ground slowly cracked, and a stone platform slowly rose, and on the stone platform was a silver plate, in which were placed two fruits, one white and one black.
The moment he saw them, Su Qi already understood that he had passed this trial.
