Chapter 7: Painful Trials

The ice pillars that rise from the ground are like bamboo shoots and trees, and countless leaves are reflected on the crystal surface, as if many people are swimming here. Ye Ziluo looked around, feeling as if he had walked into the Mirror Palace.

He passed by a huge ice cube, and when he sensed that something was wrong, he instinctively took a few steps back and retreated to the pillar of ice, which seemed to be a blue-gray rock in the middle, and the surface was bright and smooth as a mirror, clearly reflecting a human figure.

The man was tall, with long black hair, skin like jade, clear eyebrows, clear and soft eyes, and amiable to look at.

Immediately, the man looked stunned.

Who is this?

The figure is wearing a smoky gray T-shirt, whipped white jeans, and a pair of Nikes with history, no matter how you look at it, it can only be yourself!

Ye Ziluo pinched his face fiercely with his hand, and the person in the ice mirror also made the same action, and red and swollen marks soon appeared on the snow-white skin.

Ye Ziluo grinned and rubbed his face that was hurt by his own abuse.

The Demon Emperor's soft laughter came from his consciousness, and Ye Ziluo didn't care about it. He pressed his face closer to the mirror and examined it carefully.

That's right, the position and shape of the eyebrows, eyes, and facial features have generally not changed, and they are still somewhat similar to the original self.

In addition to getting better and getting the skin that made Ye Ziluo's heart hairy, his temperament also changed significantly.

Handsome and gentle---- Ye Ziluo had to admit that this skin was a bit of that meaning. It's no wonder that the Glorovians collectively show that kind of look related to being electrocuted when they meet him. The Gloro people advocate martial arts, even if they are women, they are tall and vigorous, and they have been in the wild for a long time, and their skin is mainly wheat-colored, so it is understandable that they will lose their temper when they see a character like him.

Fortunately, in addition to the fact that the skin has become better than that of women, other places are still very masculine, whether it is the body shape or facial features. Ye Ziluo comforted himself with a little fear.

After accepting that he hadn't become that terrible thing that was neither male nor female, Ye Ziluo relaxed and looked at the person in the mirror.

In his opinion, this skin is much better looking than the original, but it still has nothing to do with celestials, compared to handsome, not as good as Ren Qizhi, more gentle and elegant, can't catch up with the eldest brother, than the momentum, even the Demon Emperor's just in case.

Overall, Ye Ziluo nodded with satisfaction, although the quality of the skin has not improved much, it is basically in the upper middle range. In his previous world, this appearance was enough to make people stunning, but he had already appreciated the handsome and beautiful looks of men and women in the cultivation realm, and in comparison, this was just ordinary.

He never wanted to be a peerless beautiful man. In his opinion, whether a man is a woman or not, the most important thing is the inside. On the outside, beauty is good, but there is no need to be inferior. A beautiful face will never bring less trouble than it brings. This is just right for the upper middle, moderately appealing to people, and not arousing people's desire to commit crimes.

After rounding a cluster of ice cubes, a cluster of fresh greenery jumped into view, and when I got closer, I realized that it was a small lake, and a few clusters of low plants grew around the lake, and small lilac flowers trembled and bloomed.

Ye Ziluo quickly saw why there was still green in the ice and snow, the small lake was steaming with a misty white mist, a vague smell of Liuhuang was sandwiched in the warm and humid air flow into his nose, and lively blisters appeared on the water surface from time to time.

It seems to be this mountain.

Ye Ziluo lost his interest in sitting and continued to climb up.

The mountain trembled more and more, and Ye Ziluo's walking speed had to slow down, his feet did not slip away, and it was steep, not to mention, the wind was so fast that he would be blown down if he was not careful.

"It wouldn't be so difficult if there was a defensive weapon." Cangtong's exclamation prompted them to start refining weapons, and the first magic weapon after they started refining was defensive in nature.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Ye Ziluo had a faint pain in his chest, and he breathed in the thin air, fortunately, he didn't find the red-hot volcanic cave mouth on the top of the mountain, but the snow on the top melted away, revealing the rocks. Discover several more hot springs along the way.

In this way, the volcano will not erupt anytime soon.

Ye Ziluo returned to the mountain recess, he was very tired at this time, and the strength in his body was less than twenty percent. Even the cold wind, which was not very noticeable, began to become biting.

Choosing a piece of flat land, Ye Ziluo took out the spar and set up a small Tianfang Eight Absolute Defense Array, but he sat cross-legged in the formation.

This piece of white-headed snow-capped mountain, majestic, old, gathering the aura of heaven and earth, Ye Ziluo closed his eyes and the gods, silently operating the spiritual power in his body, and soon, the wisps of spiritual power swam into Ye Ziluo's body from heaven and earth, and followed his thoughts.

It didn't take long for Ye Ziluo to suddenly feel tingling in his lower limbs. It turned out that he was sitting cross-legged on the ice, and he didn't feel it at first, but after a long time, the cold air would seep into his body a little bit, if he hadn't been running his spiritual power, he was afraid that his lower limbs would have been frozen.

This solid ice is the result of the accumulation of adult months, and its coldness is not comparable to that of ordinary ice. Ye Ziluo was slightly distracted, and the spiritual power in his body lost his mind guidance, and dispersed in an instant.

"Continue to use the spiritual power, and these cold qi will be my snacks." The deep voice of the pupil raised slightly. His demonic nature is cold, this bit of cold is not in his eyes, Ye Ziluo's skill is low, he can't absorb spiritual power through Ye Ziluo for the time being, and occasionally having such a small nourishment is also rare.

Ye Ziluo trusted Cangtong very much, and when he saw him say this, he entered the ethereal realm again. The scattered spiritual power slowly condensed and swam along the seven meridians and eight veins again.

His spiritual sense partly directs the spiritual power, and partly looks at the body.

I saw that the dark air mass near his dantian that was emitting purple gold light separated into two strands as thin as hair, skillfully avoiding the route of his spiritual power walking, flowing along his lower limbs, and the white cold qi disappeared where he passed, and the tingling sensation also disappeared.

Gradually, the two thin lines were fixed on a slightly curved line, a few points of the air lines were slightly thicker, a few places were slightly lighter, and all the invading cold air was absorbed by the two thin lines, leaving no trace.

Ye Ziluo had no worries, and soon sank into a deeper realm of nothingness and selflessness. Once again, I had the wonderful feeling of lying in a comfortable river. The flowing spiritual power was so energetic and warm, and the qi veins became more stable and thicker.

He didn't know how many laps he had made, and he didn't know how long it had been, but he felt that his qi pulse had risen slightly, and he woke up from his deep slumber.

The color of the inner pill in the dantian is becoming brighter and brighter. The two hair-like thin lines on the lower limbs have long been retracted by the pupils.

When he opened his eyes, the divine light was clear, Ye Ziluo's colorful face was stunned, the mountain recess where he was was originally an ice field scenery, but now the ice field has completely changed, and the thick ice layer before the seat is gone, exposing bare rocks and moist frozen soil. Only the place leaning against the edge of the cliff still has a layer of snow and ice.

"What's going on?" Ye Ziluo asked in surprise. Could it be that he has been sitting for a season, and it is already spring on the mountain? It took him half a month to run his spiritual power nine times last time, and I don't know how many times his spiritual power has been operated this time, it won't be outrageous to the point that three months have passed, right? He never thought that this place would be frozen for many years, even in summer, it would be a world of ice and snow.

"Hehe, it's not that long, it's only about twenty days." Cangtong smiled, "Those ice layers melted because I absorbed the cold in them. ”

"Your spiritual power is running much faster now, you can run a full circle in one night, and it is normal to sit and practice for a longer time, but if you still have something to deal with at hand, it is best to control it." Hitomi reminded him.

Ye Ziluo nodded yes. "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, is there a way to stop the volcano from erupting?" He asked, he was too tired to think about it after the last survey of the terrain. Now that he had finished his seat and was refreshed, he began to think hard, but after thinking for a long time, it was nothing more than to divert the underground molten slurry from other places and cool it, none of these methods could be done by him. He could only ask Cangtong for advice again. Again and again, as soon as there is a problem, I ask Cangtong for advice, and I can't help but feel sorry for it in my respectful mood.

Ye Ziluo's subtle psychological changes had not been able to escape the Demon Emperor, and he nodded secretly. Ye Ziluo did not become groveling because of his noble status and super strength, nor did he coerce him to repay him. The unique strength in his heart makes him feel a little uneasy about not being able to repay him every time he gets the help of the Demon Emperor, but he also knows that things are serious, and he will never take care of his own face when he should ask for advice.

More and more, he felt that the character was a little interesting, or that the little guy's accomplishments would be quite remarkable.

"There are many ways to do this, and there is only one way you can barely do it."

"What is it?"

"You can make a kind of device, and by manipulating this magic weapon, you can absorb and condense the heat of the earth fire into fire crystals, and absorb the earth fire until it will not cause an explosion. The problem is solved. Cang Tong said lightly. In principle, since the earth fire can be condensed into fire crystals, other crystals can also be concocted in the same way. In fact, the formations involved in this kind of magic weapon did not exist in the cultivation realm, and only a very small number of ancient immortals in the immortal realm could master similar methods, however, they were all secrets. In the Demon Realm, there is also no one who has mastered this formation.

Displeasure rose in the eyes of the pupils. This formation was engraved on the nine lotus formations that trapped him, and each lotus was engraved with a formation, after all, it was a god's formation, it was really broad and profound, which made him fascinated by it, and the three thousand years of captivity became not too boring. The arrogant Demon Emperor hates this feeling of being mastered. It's like this formation, the Empty Silence God seems to have calculated that he will use it.

It's a disgusting feeling.

Ever since he encountered emptiness in the Divine Array, it seemed that all the control of the matter had fallen into the hands of the other party, and under the terrifying wisdom of the other party's insight into the opportunity, everything he did was like a puppet.

Even now, Sora had not done anything to harm him in substance, and he still hated this god-man.

He always had a bad premonition that he still hadn't gotten rid of the empty calculations.

"Great. That premise is that I have to learn how to make weapons and formations. Ye Ziluo waved his arms energetically. Ye Ziluo is not a person who doesn't like to use his brain, from childhood to adulthood, his grades in the subjects he is interested in are quite good, of course, as for those who are not interested, they have passed by at a low altitude. When he was in college, he became obsessed with hackers again, taught himself for a long time, and even opened his own hacker forum with a group of loyal readers.

For Xiuzhen, he came into contact with it for the first time, everything aroused his interest, the old rules, the things he was interested in, and he definitely spared no effort to learn.

"Well, you have to cultivate to the Yuanying realm first. This volcano will not erupt until about two years later, and you still have time. Seeing him so energetic, Cangtong's heart moved slightly---- how many years ago, he was like him, he could be enthusiastic, impulsive, and unhesitating? However, even today, why didn't he follow his heart every step of the way? Be proud of this world, and do what you want to do. Except, after encountering emptiness, ~~~~~

On the way down the mountain, I met the people of the Gloro tribe. Ye Ziluo passed past them, and looked back as if he remembered something, he didn't know the two young men who were grazing. Fortunately, these two young men were friends of Rukaka, and they had seen Ye Ziluo's appearance that day.

As soon as they saw that it was a noble oracle of their clan, they immediately saluted respectfully.

Ye Ziluo returned the salute and wanted to ask them to bring a message back. Squeaked, remembering the language barrier. He rummaged through the bracelet for a long time, finding a napkin and a ballpoint pen.

Leaving a message on the paper, "The disaster will not come until two years later, I will find a solution, and I will come back in the future" and other clouds and clouds were handed over to the young man, and Ye Ziluo repeatedly told him to pass it on to Bika.

I didn't understand anything else, but Bika's name was still understandable, and the two nodded again and again.

Ye Ziluo left the snow-capped mountain with peace of mind and headed for the nearby mountain, he was worried that it would be a continuous group of volcanoes.

He guessed correctly, the two nearby mountains were in the same situation.

For half a month, Ye Ziluo inspected each mountain one by one during the day, and practiced at night. Taking out the jade slip that Gao Yue gave him and studying it repeatedly, Ye Ziluo was very happy to have discovered some basic knowledge about formations, pinching techniques, and alchemy in it.

He also asked Cang Tong about the principle of the Heavenly Eight Absolute Defense Array, and Cang Tong unceremoniously told him that he couldn't understand it with his cultivation, and that his cultivation was more important than his own comprehension.

Ye Ziluo kept it in mind.

He repeatedly studied the part of the jade slip about the formation and the pinching method, the pinching part was mainly how to manipulate the fairy sword, and the formation part started from the simplest five-element formation principle. He is a person who loves to think about things, and he can't help but think that these two things are very similar in nature. The pinching technique is to invisibly arrange the spiritual power into a certain formation through the change of the fingers, thereby affecting the fairy sword. As for the formation, there are formations that can be made through items containing spiritual power such as spars, some can be drawn directly with spiritual power, and there are even formations that can be made without any spiritual power.

"Whether it's a formation or a pinch, can it be regarded as a language, mobilizing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, peeking into the mysteries of heaven and earth, or the language of communication?" He thought to himself.

"Not bad." Cang Tong was a little surprised. It seems that Ye Ziluo's concept of medium qualifications is really a bit wrong, and his comprehension ability to touch on others and draw inferences from one another is very good. At least he hadn't thought of that at his age. Faintly, he has a heart of love.

"Formations can be laid out in many ways. Items without spiritual power can also make a difference if they are placed in a trajectory that fits the heavens and the earth. By resonating with the power of heaven and earth, the formation formed by the cloth can usually last for a long time, this is the best formation, and even the sound waves can actually be arranged into a formation. The formations that cultivators generally master are generally made of spirit stones or their own spiritual power, such as the Five Thunder Leads, which only unilaterally attract a certain power between heaven and earth. You need to take your time to understand this. The Demon Emperor said slowly.

Ye Ziluo savored these words, but felt that the mystery was endless.

He tried to set up the defensive formations in the two jade slips, although the effect was not as good as the Heavenly Eight Absolute Defensive Formations, it also made him really happy for a while.

It's a lot like when he played hacking, tirelessly experimenting and gradually figuring out the rules.

I tried to attack again.

In the end, the defense and attack formations were put together to be messed up, and it took the Nth attempt before it worked. The mood of hard thinking and meditation and tossing for a long time is the most relaxed and happy.

As for the spars, he also used eighty percent.

He took out the "Five Elements Formula" obtained from the Divine Array, opened the book, and there were words on the first page, which concisely explained the mystery of the five elements, and the other pages were blank. Ye Ziluo chewed for a long time, but he couldn't do it. Gu Wen, he had the biggest headache when he went to school.

Asked Cang Tong for advice, and Cang Tong said that he would be proficient in simple formations again, and then explain it to him.

Ye Ziluo had to put the book away temporarily.

After Ye Ziluo cultivated to the end of the pill, his memory increased greatly, and he had read it once, and he could remember most of the medicinal materials in the jerky and difficult ancient texts and alchemy knowledge with his eyes closed.

only made him dance with joy.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed. Ye Ziluo finished looking at all the fifty or sixty mountains. There are no other volcanic groups except for the five hills near the Glolo tribe.

The others have reached the other side of the Paektu Snow Mountains. Halfway up the mountain, you can see that the foot of the mountain is not a vast grassland, but a small town with crowded buildings. Farther away, a city clearly appeared in the field of vision.

Not in a hurry to enter the WTO, Ye Ziluo followed Cangtong's advice and prepared for the first trial.

Ye Ziluo went to the top of the mountain, picked a secluded and flat place, and first set up the formation he designed to automatically bounce back the attack once it was attacked.

According to the wonderful formation in the consciousness of the pupil, a formation was set up in the return formation. At this time, Ye Ziluo had simplified to a pure spiritual power formation, and the remaining precious spar was used in the formation inside.

The range of formations taught by Cangtong is very small, but the lines are extremely complex.

"This is the smallest spirit gathering array, which can attract the aura of heaven and earth. This formation cannot be taught to anyone. "The pale pupils are colorful.

Of all the things that Cangtong taught, this was the only one he demanded.

Ye Ziluo also straightened his face and solemnly promised, knowing in his heart that this formation must be very good. But I don't know that this kind of formation originally exists in the divine realm, and it is used by gods and men to create things, from small magic weapons to large planets.

With the Eight Heavenly Formations, the transformation method that can make fire crystals is out of the Nine Lotus Array.

And what he taught Ye Ziluo has been simplified many times, but the effect is still amazing.

Ye Ziluo stared cross-legged, the spiritual power operation at the beginning was no different from before, and soon, Ye Ziluo found that the spiritual power pouring into his body was more and more, denser and faster.

He tried his best to absorb all the spiritual power.

However, as the influx of spiritual power increased and increased, he gradually lost time to absorb and digest it.

For ordinary cultivators, this situation is extremely dangerous, and too much spiritual power will cause cultivators to explode and die.

The primordial spirit of the blue pupil moved, and it was divided into four extremely thin wisps and spread throughout the body, absorbing all the excess spiritual power. Rao is like this, slowly, Ye Ziluo still felt the pain of the qi veins as if they were torn apart.

In fact, Cang Tong used the Spirit Gathering Array to gather a large amount of spiritual energy and forcibly widen Ye Ziluo's meridians. Take a shortcut to a realm that ordinary people can reach for decades with this rude method.

The premise is that the person concerned can bear this pain and die without exploding.

With the absorption of the pupil and the excellent physique after Ye Ziluo's transformation, the latter problem was easily solved.

As for the pain, it was Ye Ziluo who would inevitably bear it.

I really don't know, whether this should be said to be Ye Ziluo's opportunity or ordeal.

"Keep running the spiritual power until the formation automatically stops." The tone of the pupil was still so calm.

Ye Ziluo was full of cramps, cold sweat flowed on his forehead, he had already been in pain and couldn't exert any strength, vaguely heard Cangtong's words, his mind suddenly sobered up, and he clearly felt the unspoken concern in Cangtong's words, his heart was warm, and he didn't know where he got his strength, and roared: "He forked, and if he can't get through it, his surname will be written backwards!" ”

Wherever the spiritual power passed, it rushed to the west, and the qi veins collided with pain, and every bit of pain seemed to be pierced into the body by countless needles.

When did he suffer this suffering, but when he entered this situation, he couldn't do it, he could only endure it.

The body trembled violently unconsciously.

He was no longer aware of everything around him, and all he could think about was running his spiritual power, barely commanding the spiritual power that was as flexible and thick as a snake, running slowly.

Blood, slowly overflowing from the meridians.

Ye Ziluo's whole body gradually became bloody, and even his facial features were drenched in blood.

The pain that tore through the flesh was endless, and it spread to the soul along every nerve, and even the soul seemed to be shattered, and the whole person wanted to faint, but he couldn't, but he could only endure this terrible pain everywhere.

Ye Ziluo's mind was already half-foggy, and only a stubborn thought in the depths of his consciousness was haunting, and he stubbornly maintained a trace of his mind to direct the operation of his spiritual power.

"Bang bang----" Several sounds followed, and the spars in the spirit gathering array burst into powder, and a large amount of spiritual power gathered dissipated in the air.

In the vast snow-capped mountains, a bright red figure slowly fell.

Hitomi sighed very softly. He knew that Ye Ziluo had survived this first level.
