Chapter 442: Martyrdom

"Why did the predecessor say this?!" Lu Yi was shocked when he heard this, he never expected Venerable Li Tian to say such a shocking sentence.

"Don't panic, boy, and listen to me tell you in detail. Venerable Li Tian seemed to have expected Lu Yi's reaction, and he still said to Lu Yi very calmly: "Actually, this is also a helpless move. As early as when I helped the enemy family renovate this space, it was the peak of our demon race, and at that time, all kinds of heavenly wizards of the demon clan emerged in an endless stream, so I originally planned to find a successor here in a short time and complete the great cause of revenge. However, I ignored one point, the demons are born with shortcomings in the comprehension of the formation, so there are very few formation mages in the demon race, once the formation genius appears, it will also be strictly protected like a treasure, how can they be allowed to come to such an unknown place to practice? Therefore, for many years, not many people from the demon race have entered the trial of the formation. And in order to prevent being discovered by the enemy, the spiritual body distraction I left behind is not powerful, it is only equivalent to the strength of a sixth-order monk, and even if such a disguise is discovered by him, it will be mistaken for a trial monster in the space. Originally, I was supposed to die out in about 10,000 years, but because I couldn't wait for the successor, I was forced to use the spirit of the challenger who came here to reshape a spirit body as a host, and attached myself to it, but, in this way, I am no longer an independent individual, yes, what you see now is only a projection of my spirit body, and my body can no longer leave the spirit body on the side. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yi finally understood why what he saw was only an image, it turned out that Venerable Litian still had such a means, and he could parasitize on other spiritual bodies, Lu Yi couldn't help but think about this, if he could learn this technique, maybe it would be of great use in the future.

"Senior, then why don't you give up the body of a challenger and resurrect it?" Lu Yi couldn't help but throw out his own questions.

"Actually, I thought about it this at the beginning, but once I give it up, my cultivation in this life can only be maintained at the level of the sixth order or even lower, in that way, in the demon world where the strong people are like forests at that time, my own safety will be a problem, so how can I talk about revenge? Then there is that I am too conceited, always think that I am a peerless powerhouse, how can I commit to an ant-like existence, I don't want to, nearly 10,000 years have passed, until I am getting weaker and weaker, I found that if I really take away and be reborn, it is not necessarily that there is no chance, but at this time I can no longer afford to give up, and in desperation, I can only choose this way. Venerable Litian sighed.

Okay, let's get back to business. I really didn't expect that the demons would soon go from their heyday to defeat, and when you think about it, it's actually largely the demons themselves to blame. When the demon race was the strongest, it didn't take other creatures in the mainland in its eyes at all, and the people of the human and demon races were often kept in captivity as slaves and deliberately oppressed, and there were frequent infighting within the demon race. I stayed in this space for hundreds of thousands of years, until about 40,000 years ago, there was a crisis in this space, because the resources were exhausted and could not be replenished, the energy used by a few of us to fix and maintain the stability of the space has been almost consumed, and the population in it is increasing, this instability continues to intensify, but I can no longer do anything. I don't know why, for thousands of years, no one has come to challenge the trial of the array, which is also something I didn't expect, if there was no appearance from you, I could only watch this space get out of control, continue to wander outside the square, and I don't know where to go. ”

"Wait, senior, you said that these changes in this space are not going to collapse, but to wander away, what does this mean?" Lu Yi heard this, interrupted Venerable Litian's words and asked.

"Generally speaking, space debris like this exists in large numbers between heaven and earth, and some of them are fixed, just like the big trees on our continent, born here, and will not move until death if there is no external interference. Some of the fragments move, like the creatures on our continent, and they move around like headless flies. Collisions can also occur when space debris meets, either to form new, larger debris in pairs, or to become smaller debris due to the impact of a space storm that is too intense. Stationary space debris is not easy to detect and can only be found after it has been hit, while moving space debris is relatively easy to find because it will collide with other debris and cause spatial fluctuations. This space fluctuated when two small pieces of fragments were compatible, and an old friend of mine discovered it, and it was only then that several of us were summoned to establish the current place of trial. But I didn't want to, but our efforts ended up making a wedding dress for someone else. This space was forcibly fixed by us back then, but its nature is in motion, so over the years, it has been fighting against the energy that fixed it, and in the intervening years, the natural space has become unstable. I suspect that within a thousand years, it will break free and wander again. Venerable Li Tian explained.

"Is there any good way to stop it or strengthen the restraint force?" Lu Yi's heart was still occupied by the absurd thought that he could become the true master of this space by passing all the challenges, and he had already regarded this space as his private property, how could he allow it to be lost casually.

"There is a certain method, but let me tell you, it requires at least the ability of the Spirit Building Period and the level of at least a tenth-level formation mage, because the Spirit Limiting Array I set up for this space is a tenth-level formation, and it cannot be broken by a formation mage who is not of the same level, otherwise, even a heaven-level monk will not want to enter it, and he will not be able to enter it, let alone reinforce. Venerable Litian's words suddenly made Lu Yiyan fall silent. Tenth-level array mage, if you want to say that there is a tenth-level formation mage on this continent, Lu Yi believes it, but how many people have really seen it? If you rely on your own efforts, let alone a thousand years, it is three thousand and five thousand years, and you may not be able to grow to the realm of a tenth-level formation mage.

"Okay, I know what you think, let's discuss this matter later, after all, isn't there still a thousand years left? Everything is variable, and you don't have to be too pessimistic. Venerable Li Tian seemed to know what Lu Yi was thinking.

"Alright, let's go back to the topic of what I'm going to be a machine spirit. The old man has been interrupted by you many times, so you can listen quietly to the old man first. Venerable Li Tian said to Lu Yi with a smile, "The old man is a clan with four ears, born to come for the formation, whether the old or the young, women and children in the clan, they are born with a super ability to comprehend the formation path, and the clansmen can easily reach the attainments of the fifth-order array mage, and there are many formation masters above the tenth level among the ancestors of the past dynasties, even the heaven-level formation masters have also produced a lot. If I am favored by God, I will suffer from the curse of heaven, because my people have not been prosperous, and they are shrinking day by day, and by my generation, the number of people in my clan is less than a thousand, and I, as an elder of the four-eared clan, have failed to fulfill my duty as an elder for my clan, and I have always felt guilty in my heart. After hearing that the demons were defeated and fled to the outer regions, I understood that my clan should no longer exist, and I had no shame to face the spirits of the underground clansmen, so I had to choose the way of martyrdom to preach the Tao, and talk to comfort the clansmen. Moreover, the treasure of the clan is gone, and I can't let this thing go through the cracks, I must take care of it myself. Another extremely important point, I think, have the people in this space also discovered the crisis of spatial instability and are in a hurry to find a way to get out? Judging from the imprint on your spirit induction stone, it seems that you have completed the trial of the Fa and the trial of the Dan, and even the trial of the body has been completed for most of it. Based on the information I've received from other challengers, is there a saying that 'as long as someone passes all four challenges, they will become the master of this space and be able to bring everyone out'? If you really want to lead the people out of this space, the only way is to be on the Heavenly Array Plate after this. And if you want to complete this in the future, you must have the assistance of the machine spirit, let me ask you, do you still have a way to find another machine spirit, or is there a choice in this space that knows the Heavenly Array Disk better than me and can better control this treasure?"

I have to say that Venerable Li Tian said very reasonably, and Lu Yi couldn't refute it for a while. However, Lu Yi remembered another thing, "Senior, according to what you said, the spirit of the other three levels of trials is the spiritual body of the three friends of the predecessor after being erased from the spiritual intelligence?" Venerable Li Tian nodded when he heard this, he didn't understand why Lu Yi asked this.

"Senior, is it possible that after so many thousands of years, one of them has developed a spiritual body on its own?" Lu Yi threw out his own question.

"Theoretically, this is very possible, just like some tree spirits or low-level demon beasts, there is no spiritual intelligence in the first place, some are just instinctive, but by some chance, they will also open spiritual intelligence. Because the spirit body is a special existence, it itself has the conditions for the birth of spiritual intelligence, so it is not impossible for some relatively powerful spiritual bodies to produce spiritual intelligence over a long period of time. What, boy, have you found anything?" Venerable Li Tian asked Lu Yi after explaining.

"That's right, senior, let me ask you again, is the trial of each level set in advance, will the difficulty of the trial challenge be changed from person to person?

"Of course, the challenge of each level here is fixed, and the difficulty is equivalent to the extreme ability of a peak monk in the late fifth order, and only a true genius can meet the trial requirements. The rewards are also set equally. Venerable Li Tian replied affirmatively.

"That's it, when the younger generation was in the physical trial, they were treated unfairly. Not only did the difficulty of the trial increase, and it seemed that someone was deliberately playing with me, but also, after being teased twice, after the third level was successfully challenged, I also got an extra reward after my bargaining. ”

As soon as Lu Yi's words came out, it was Venerable Litian's turn to be dumbfounded.
