Imperial City Chapter 18

97, the power of the artifact

It's the second day of the "demarcation selection", according to common sense, the people who participate in the trial will not make any big moves, now they should establish a preliminary alliance, and then with their overall strength and luck, they each found a suitable base, as for the search for tokens, most of them are handy, the time is too short, and the number they hold now is not enough to determine the winner.

Therefore, for the "interesting things" that Yu Sheng said, Xing Liuyun and An Meng did not expect it in their hearts, and the reason why they came here to watch it was purely because they were forced to have no choice but to do it by Yu Sheng's lack of heart.

The martial arts arena is surrounded by martial law, which basically blocks the audience from all over the world on the periphery of Qingyu District, but An Meng and Yu Sheng are both contestants of this year, so they are naturally unrestricted, as for Xingliuyun, although he is only a nominal prince, but with the light of the imperial altar, he is also unrestricted.

The three of them went around to the north and went up to the high platform, and the large mirror in the center of the field was nearly six meters high and hundreds of meters away from the place where they were, but after they looked over, they felt that it was in front of them, and the space that came out of it seemed to have been cut away.

For this situation, An Meng and the rest of his life didn't feel much, but Xingliuyun's heart was full of waves.

This artifact belongs to the ethereal clan, and An Meng, as a holy woman, has long understood the efficacy of this object, so it is so.

The Netherworld is famous for its divination, and Yu Sheng happens to be the one who is the best at divination in this generation of the Netherworld, and it is not unusual to know more about many things.

In this way, Xingliuyun was left alone to sigh at the power of this mirror artifact.

There are two points that attract the attention of the traveling clouds, one is the distance problem, and the other is the direction problem.

The distance problem has been discovered last time, although it is strange, but thinking that this is a space artifact, it can also be explained, but this time the traveling cloud found a more strange point, that is, the direction problem.

The last time the traveling cloud was at the easternmost edge of the platform, this time, the traveling cloud is at the westernmost point of the platform. The high platform of the martial arts arena spans more than 100 meters, and it stands to reason that the shape of the mirror that Xingliuyun sees should be different due to the change of position, but what Xingliuyun sees now is exactly the same as last time: facing the mirror, he can only see the front, not the back.

Ruling out the very small possibility that someone adjusted the direction of the mirror before you came here, there is only one way to make sense, and that is that the mirror can affect the direction perceived by others.

Or to put it more precisely: the mirror is capable of influencing the perception of others.

In this way, both the distance problem and the direction problem can be explained.

It's just that, according to Xingliuyun's knowledge, most of the things that can interfere with the perception of others are spiritual artifacts, or magic artifacts with some characteristics of spiritual artifacts, and like this mirror artifact, which can generally open up space and connect passages through the air, it must reach the peak standard on the space side, so that a single extreme power can be done, that is to say, this artifact can no longer have other attributes except space.

Since it has no spiritual attributes, how does it manage to influence the monk's perception?

Unless...... Unless this artifact has taken over the space and turned it into its private domain!

As soon as this thought appeared, Xingliuyun's fluctuating heart was startled.

The idea is just terrifying.

Space is so secretive, although the so-called space artifact in the world seems to be able to disrupt space at will, but in fact it is just following the laws of space and invoking the power of the space gate.

Not only is it a space magic weapon, it can be said that all the existing space secret techniques in the world only invoke the power of the space gate, but also an idle door, far from affecting the space itself.

Speaking of this spatial door, a new concept has to be introduced.

At present, the cultivation world believes that the exploration of the invisible space can be started from two aspects: the "spirit" is the potential will of the space, responsible for stabilizing and suppressing, and the "door" is the component of the space, responsible for the construction and penetration.

"Spirit" and "Door" are both ethereal existences, difficult to touch, but relatively speaking, "Door" is relatively loose compared to "Spirit", so the monk's cognition of "Door" is far more than that of "Spirit", and on this basis, a series of Imperial Gate Techniques were derived, that is, later space spells.

And because of the shallow understanding of "spirit", to this day, only the method of "imitation spirit" is used in the "realm", and there is still a long way to go to contact the real "spirit".

If "spirit" really represents the will of space, then can it be understood as a special existence of thinking, that is to say, it has a certain self-thought, and this idea is derived into likes and dislikes, so can it be explained from another perspective such things as "water and soil adaptation, inheritance of luck, feng shui hexagrams" and so on?

This is still to be discussed.

However, the theory of liking and disliking space cannot be completely said to be made out of nothing.

When it is divided into four points today, the demon mian occupies the central earth, the ethereal wanders on the Tianhe, the river lives far abroad, and the yin and the underworld come and go without a trace.

Is this situation really just caused by the difference in strength and habits?

I'm afraid no one dares to pack a ticket on this issue.

It's really hard to say whether there is the influence of the will of space in the dark.

However, regardless of the influence of the "spirit", in the imperial city in the center of the demon mi, luck is always favored by the demon family, and the streets and alleys here are filled with the breath of the demon people.

And now, an artifact of the Ethereal Clan may occupy the dominance of a part of the space in the Imperial City, squeezing out the "spirit" of the space here and turning it into its own domain.

What a terrible thing it is. Xingliuyun had to admire his boldness, and he really had no scruples about what he thought.

Should he be happy about his audacity, or should he be afraid?

Xingliuyun didn't want to believe that his idea was true, but as soon as this idea came out, it was like a wild horse that was uncontrollably unrestrained, the more it chased, the more it hindered, but the more it galloped, and finally, whether the wild horse was recaptured and tethered, it had already left an indelible impression.

It is imprinted in the heart of man, in the deepest part of the soul.

It remembers what it did, and how it existed.

Then, more terrible, even more boundless thoughts will continue to grow in your heart.

For example, Xingliuyun no longer cares about the truth of the matter, but is thinking: What grade has this space artifact that can face the spirit of hard steel space and occupy the upper hand, and if it does it with all its might, how far can it go?

If others knew what Xingliuyun was thinking at this moment, they would definitely say: Xingliuyun has fallen.

Yes, Xingliuyun has fallen, but this fall may also be another beginning, and another way out.

No matter what others think, Xing Liuyun doesn't have much of the heart to watch the content of the trial now, and he has forgotten the environment he is in, everything around him seems to be far away from him, even the interference of the mirror artifact seems to have no effect on him, the affected distance seems to have returned to its original state, he is immersed in his own thoughts, and gradually, he has entered a magical state of emptiness.

The state of emptiness is a magical state that can be encountered but not sought, usually entered by a duel, a hint of perception or a contemplation, and people in the state of emptiness let go of everything and thought about it, no matter how long it lasts, without exception, they will get great gains.

This is an opportunity that all monks dream of.

Now Xingliuyun has actually entered this state in the contemplation of the artifact mirror, which can only be said to be time, life also.

He had always been careful to sleep as usual, and then he noticed the change in the state of Xingliuyun.

Although she didn't dare to look directly into Xing Liuyun's eyes because of today's incident, and because of the marriage contract, she couldn't talk to him as usual, but all this did not affect An Meng's mind of always caring about Xing Liuyun.

After a few months of getting along in the Origin Realm, Stopping Village, Shadow Realm, and Hundred Flowers Valley, it seems that it has become an instinct for An Meng to pay attention to Xingliuyun's actions.
