Chapter Ninety-Nine: Five Years
"Two Black Giant Gate Star Field...... I'm in the Kan Palace of the Great Array, just in the north corner!" Bai Ya vigilantly observed the surroundings, looking down at the gossip plate in his hand from time to time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because he was alone for a long time and was too lazy to take care of his appearance, Bai Ya had a messy beard, and his hair was even longer than his shoulders, and he only tied it with a hemp rope, which can be described as sloppy to the extreme.
The clothes he wore were even more rudimentary, with a sleeveless linen shirt on his upper body, and his placket was open, revealing his bronzed strong chest. The pants on the lower body are missing a section of trouser tube, and they are tattered like strips of cloth.
The original shoes have long been gone, and now he is wearing only a pair of straw sandals, revealing his black feet.
This image of him was seen by Yuqing and others, but they were afraid that they would not be able to recognize it.
The place where the white cliff is currently located is a group of low slopes that are like rolling waves, and even if you climb to the top of the slope, you can't identify the direction, because most of the low slopes here are similar in shape, and they are a large array in themselves, called "Five Elements and Nine Palaces Flying Star Array".
This array is a classification of the Nine Palaces Array, which is first divided into positive and negative areas according to Yin and Yang, and then divided into nine star fields according to the Nine Palaces, and has five element attributes.
Each star field has both star field characteristics and five element attributes, and under the double superposition, the internal changes are extremely complex, and it is the most difficult magic circle that Bai Ya has come into contact with so far.
"The two black giant gate stars are connected to the six white left auxiliary stars of the Middle Palace, the seven red broken army star fields of the Qiangong Palace, and the nine purple right bi stars of the Gen Palace......" Bai Ya frowned, he had to make a multiple-choice question again.
The positive and negative areas of the Five Elements and Nine Palaces Flying Star Array correspond to the two sides of Yin and Yang respectively, and the Yang side is not very dangerous, among which one white greedy wolf and eight white left auxiliaries are the entrances and exits respectively, and the six white martial arts are the middle palace of the large array.
And the Star Domain of the Second Black Giant Gate where he is now is on the yin side, the five elements belong to the earth, the main is dilapidated, and it is a relatively disgusting magic circle area.
Fortunately, this array has weakened the means of lethality, otherwise the ground thorns and stone cones will emerge in an endless stream, not to mention his artistic conception, even if the innate martial artist comes in, he will have to peel off his skin.
The Second Black Giant Gate Star Domain is connected to the other three star fields, among which the Nine Purple Right Bi Star Domain is the yang side, and the danger is not great.
The other Six White Left Auxiliary Star Domain is also the yang side, and it is the middle palace of the entire large array.
According to the murals of the obelisk stone tower, there is a spiritual object called "Nirvana Fire" growing in it, which is a gift from the Heavenly Master Cave to the formation breaker.
In fact, except for the simple formations in the primary area of the secret realm, the core of the other compound formations all had heavenly and earthly treasures, which were the encouragement and prizes prepared for the trialists.
Just like the Qingcheng martial arts test that Bai Ya participated in at the beginning, the level at the top of the snow ridge was to take the snow lotus as the mission goal, and the snow lotus seeds were given to the martial apprentices who passed the assessment.
In addition to these two adjacent star domains, the last star field, the Seven Red Broken Army Stars, was not very friendly, and this was the most dangerous area in the Five Elements and Nine Palaces Flying Star Array.
The obelisk mural doesn't contain any spoilers, but trialists are specifically warned that they must prepare a rescue item before they can set foot in the area.
The so-called distress item is a kind of signal flare, and only the obelisk stone tower in the circle of Changdaoyi is prepared for the mutual aid and distress of the trialists.
Once the trialist discovers that a flare has risen into the air nearby, they must rush to the rescue. The rescuer will be rewarded by the sect, while the rescued person will be equivalent to failing the trial and can only be sent out of the secret realm in advance.
"It's all here, and we can only continue. Bai Ya wiped off the Divine Hidden Ring, looked at the signal flare inside, and walked forward resolutely.
He was already on the edge of the Second Black Giant Gate Star Domain, and only after running a few steps did he feel a shock in his body, and a strong pressure acted on his body.
"Not good...... This, at least three times the gravity!" Mixing garlic at the foot of the white cliff, he rushed forward a few steps, barely holding up his body.
At this moment, he only felt that the cells in his whole body were moaning in pain, and the whole person seemed to be crushed by an iron plate from the inside out, making him unable to breathe at all, and hissing in his throat.
With White Cliff's weight, triple gravity is not unbearable. The weightlifters in his previous life could lift a barbell more than twice his body weight, and his physical fitness was naturally no worse than those people.
The key question is how much time it takes, as it takes a few seconds for a weightlifter to lift a barbell, while his time in the circle is measured in hours.
"Bitter!" Bai Ya's cervical spine creaked, and when he turned his head, he found that the path behind him had disappeared.
However, all the magic circles in the opening have the same characteristics, that is, the direction of the formation will be constantly changed according to a certain law, instead of the attached magic circle like the Bagua sealing armor, the direction has always been the same, so the attached magic circle of the Bagua sealing armor will be called the "death array".
"I hope it can be cracked as soon as possible!" Bai Ya leaned down like an eighty or ninety-year-old man, slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the gossip plate in his hand.
This Bagua Array was lost to him by Wujing, a disciple of the Heavenly Master Cave, and it had two effects.
One is used as the core of the formation, and the other is a calculator for breaking the formation.
It was covered with dense scales, and there were circles of inlaid crystal tubes, in which golden juice flowed.
This thing senses the energy in the circle and shrinks with it, just like a thermometer. Linked to the dense scales, Bai Ya was able to calculate the intervals and regularities of the real-time operation of the magic circle.
Bai Ya's face twitched, and large beads of sweat fell from his forehead, but he didn't seem to realize it, and he always looked at the gossip array intently.
"Dangchang~"
Half an hour later, Bai Ya's right hand shook, and the gossip array fell to the ground. The other left hand, which was propped up on the ground, also began to tremble, and his body had reached its limit.
"Ascend to thunder!" Bai Ya took a deep breath, and the four tattoos engraved on his body suddenly lit up, slowly squirming like living creatures. Subtle thunderbolts flowed through the body like small snakes, and the muscles everywhere they went were involuntarily beating again and again.
The thunder attribute vitality sealed by the Four Elephant Seal Thunder Seals was not driven by martial artists, but Bai Ya had mastered the method of seducing them through his cultivation in the past few years.
That is, when the internal qi is running, the rhythm is deliberately disrupted, which will increase the volume of internal qi and interrupt the internal qi circulation. It's like using a leather tube to suck the oil in the oil tank, so that the thunder vitality that is shrunk in the middle dantian can be lured out, and it runs retrograde in the Four Elephant Seals.
Of course, once the originally sealed Thunder Yuan Qi runs retrograde, it will quickly dissipate, and the amount of Yuan Qi that dissipates will stop depending on the retrograde time. If it lasts for a long time, it is equivalent to a few months of wasted cultivation by White Cliff.
However, the retrograde Thunder Attribute Yuan Qi will also stimulate the physical body in a short period of time and stimulate the potential in the body, but compared to the Nine Palaces Forbidden Technique with the same effect, the degree is much milder and the side effects are fewer.
White Cliff vividly refers to this method as "Ascending Thunder".
Time flies, he has been in the Chang Dao Yi Realm for five years, during which he has already seen some of the relatively simple formations, and he has penetrated all the way from the edge of the secret realm to this area two years ago.
Unlike the primary formation area he had just entered, most of the formations in this area belonged to compound formations, and the difficulty of breaking the formation increased exponentially.
It's just that Bai Ya can't help but come, his understanding of the simple magic circle has reached a certain level, and he can even no longer use the Bagua Disk to analyze the direction of the formation. If you want to continue your research, you can only switch to the inner area of the secret realm.
It took three years to learn the simple structure of the Yin and Yang Five Elements Formation, and this speed can be said to be turtle speed!
The attributes of the basic formation are relatively simple, and most of them are a part of the dismantled large array, just like the Western Shaoyin Formation that Baiya has experienced, it is just the White Tiger Formation of the Four Elephant Array.
This is equivalent to a one-dimensional equation in mathematics, which purely tests the monk's basic calculation ability, and does not come with other difficulties.
Under normal circumstances, most Xuandao monks can learn the basic formation in just one year, while genius monks who specialize in formation even take only two or three months.
After learning the basic formations, the next step is the compound formations, such as the Liangyi Array of the Yin and Yang combination, the Four Elephants Great Array of the combination of the four star arrays of the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu Array, and the Five Elements Array of the Five Elements Attribute Combination, and even the Liuhe, Nine Palace Bagua and so on.
This kind of compound array is equivalent to a multivariate multiple equation, which is mixed with the attributes of the five elements of yin and yang, as well as a multi-dimensional three-dimensional space. Not only the ability to calculate, but also the ability to compose abstract geometry is required.
Bai Ya couldn't learn anymore, but he was still unwilling to give up.
After the first three years of study, he no longer knew anything about the formation, and he also understood some of the basic principles of the five elements of yin and yang and the nine palace gossip. With this newfound knowledge, he cultivated the Bagua Seal Armor in one fell swoop.
However, the Bagua Sealing Armor that Liu Yu once demonstrated to him has a total of three characteristics, the attached formation orientation, the combination of sealing armor qi, and the qi armor sealing technique, among which he has only mastered the first two, and he can't combine the sealing armor qi into a cage-like seal.
In addition, in a correspondence with the outside world two years ago, Bai Ya also obtained the sect's improved Three Easy Returns to Tibet.
Originally, Qingduguan contacted him to get him out, but Bai Ya himself was reluctant to come out, so Liu Yu asked someone to send the revised version of the Three Easy Gui Zangbu in.
The original version of the Sanyi Gui Tibetan Step has been returned to the Zhao Dynasty's court, and the rubbing left by Qingcheng is called "Bagua Lingxu Step".
Although there is a slight difference between the two body methods in the eyes of outsiders, the core content is still in the Three Easy Returns.
According to Liu Yu's reflection, several Supreme Elders who studied this martial art couldn't change it, thinking that this martial art had reached the extreme of the formation-like body method, and any change would be a snake addition.
Therefore, only the basic part of this body method below the innate has been changed a little, and the core content has not changed.
Bai Ya is reluctant to go out of the ordinary path of change, and a big reason is in this body method.
The Three Easy Returns to the Tibetan Step or the Bagua Spirit Void Step, the required formation knowledge is very profound, at least it is not that you can practice by understanding a little basic formation, and you must also learn the compound formation.
If he wanted to cultivate the Bagua Spirit Void Step, he had to continue to stay in the Ordinary Dao Yi Realm.
If he can't take the White Cliff with him in the Changdao Yi Realm, then after he goes out, he will not be able to practice independently on his own.
There is another reason that also prompts Bai Ya to continue to stay in the Changdao Yi Realm, and that is the "Four Elephant Sealing Thunder Seal" on his body.
In the past few years, he has absorbed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi generated in countless magic arrays, making the progress of the "Four Elephant Sealing Thunder Seal" astonishing, and unlike Bai Ya's Xuan Dao talent, his body is extremely suitable for this sealing technique.
It only took two years to develop the "Ascending Thunder Death", and Bai Ya faintly felt that the thunder attribute vitality was very compatible with himself.
In the past few years, "Ascending Thunder" has become easier and easier to seduc, and the degree of control has increased dramatically. He would feel that he didn't need to discuss it with Liu Yu anymore, because his middle dantian already possessed a trace of thunder attribute, and it was not far from a permanent thunder and lightning talent.
Jingtai Zhenren originally said that he and Wang Lingguan were compatible, but now it seems that it is not!
Wang Kang, the innate martial artist who helped him engrave the "Sealing Thunder Seal Method" back then, was electrotherapy for more than 20 years before he could be able to cultivate the thunder and lightning talent, and he has only been able to complete the battle for five years now.
