Chapter 468: Changes and Challenges
Wu Yan sat in the audience, and he had a lot of new insights into the fight.
He seemed to have won easily just now, but only he knew the real situation. At this time, the mana in the purple mansion dantian had been consumed by about half in the short time of less than 20 breaths.
No wonder this special ancient practice method is so powerful. A punch, a palm, or a sword can overturn the sea and crack the mountains. It turns out that the consumption of mana is so huge.
This practice method releases the power of this spell. There are two ways to consume mana. One is to use the artistic conception of one's own understanding to attract the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth and even the vitality of heaven and earth to provide power for the magic. This method requires a very high physique of the cultivator. If the physique is weak, it will be injured or even collapsed because it cannot withstand such a huge spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Just like the Qingfeng sword that Wu Yan used when he was learning Taiji Sword Intent and Liangyi Sword Intent in the Taiji Liangyi Formation, after the spell was cast, the sword body was also reduced to dust.
The second way is to consume the mana stored in the purple mansion dantian to provide power for the spell. The power that can be displayed by the magic power has a lot to do with the depth of the cultivator's own magic power.
This method does not require a strong physical constitution, but it has very high requirements for the depth of magic power. If the magic power is shallow, the magic power displayed is often not comparable to the power displayed by the external heaven and earth aura, or even less than one-tenth of it.
In fact, almost all the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation nowadays are using this second method to perform magic spells. However, the magic spells and magic powers that the cultivators nowadays learn are not the magic spells and magic powers handed down from ancient times or even the ancient times, but the magic spells and magic spells that have been improved and simplified, and many magic power requirements have been weakened.
Otherwise, considering the depth of mana required for the ancient great magical spells, a spell can destroy the world, but the mana of the cultivator may not even be enough to support a complete magical spell.
After comprehending the artistic conception of the Great Evolution Sword Domain, Wu Yan has a deeper understanding of the sword meaning of the nine sword techniques. In particular, his understanding of these nine different artistic conceptions has gradually increased.
This time, he did not use any magic tools as a support for the magic spells, but relied solely on the power of the flesh and the power of the artistic conception, which had such a powerful power, and also gave him a new understanding of the use of artistic conception and the understanding of magical powers.
The deeper the cultivation, the higher the realm, of course, the higher the requirements for the quality of the tools, and the more exquisite, but if you really advance to a deeper realm, I am afraid that even without using any tools, you can destroy everything with just a pair of flesh palms.
No wonder there are rumors that true great masters do not pay much attention to magic weapons, but pay more attention to the pursuit of soul-soothing artifacts that can enhance the power of artistic conception.
As time passed, the ten challengers on the high platform were still hesitant and undecided. Many of the monks watching the battle in the observation seats were already impatient and started to make noises.
This made the ten challengers feel more and more uneasy.
More and more people gathered in the gambling house in the direction of Gengjin Palace. After the previous battle, Wu Yan's prestige was further improved, and more and more monks placed their bets on him.
The emergence of this situation made Yan Fu, who was sitting on the high platform in the center of Wutu Palace, frown and worry secretly. Yesterday's conversation with his brother Yan Zong also made this worry stronger.
Not long after the fight ended yesterday, Yan Zong sent him a sound transmission note, ordering him to go to discuss secret matters.
In the secret room of Yanjia Manor, Yan Zong told Yan Fu that it was very likely that the news that the powerful cultivators of Xumi Sea were preparing to join forces to seal the Abyss Black Island had leaked out. The powerful figures of the sea clan had recently come out of retreat and frequently appeared in the outer sea, as if they were spying on the movements of the sea boundary.
Emperor Shikong, the leader of Xumi Sect, sent secret talismans to every late Yuanying great cultivator and immortal ancestor in Xumi Sea to inform them of this matter.
This time, the mission of the three powerful cultivators of the Yan, Ni and Wang families was to follow Xuanyuan Jizu, the leader of Tiandao Sect, and lead a group of Yuanying cultivators to divert the attention of the powerful cultivators of the sea clan, so that the mission of sealing the Black Island could be successfully completed.
The original plan was to rush to the Abyss Black Island to seal the exit of the beast tide. The powerful cultivators of the Hunting Sea Alliance now had to change their plans and go to divert the powerful cultivators of the sea clan. If they were not careful, they might fight with the powerful cultivators of the sea clan. This trip was obviously much more dangerous than sealing the exit of the beast tide.
However, this matter concerns the survival of each family, and involves the secret agreement between each family and the four major sects, so they must obey.
In desperation, Yan Zong summoned Yan Fu and told him that during the time he was away, he must be cautious and careful not to let other families take the opportunity to subvert the Yan family's foundation in Liehai City, especially to guard the Yan family manor and never lose it.
As for the assessment and competition, in Yan Zong's view, it was just a small matter. Compared with the survival of the entire Yan family's foundation, it was too insignificant. Even if he really lost money in the end, it would only be a loss of some spirit coins. However, if the Yan family manor was taken over by someone, then Yan Zong would lose his last hope of advancing to the God of Transformation, which would be the biggest blow to the Yan family.
Therefore, Yan Fu looked a little uneasy today. Especially when Wu Yan used the Tai Chi state of mind just now and defeated Tian Changkai in less than twenty breaths, Yan Fu became even more worried.
Also uneasy were Ni Daoxi and Wang Tianlie, the head of the Wang family. Obviously, the great cultivators of these two families also received the secret talisman from Emperor Shikong, and left Liehai City yesterday, followed the leader of Tiandao Sect Xuanyuan Jizu, and went out of the inner sea to the outer sea to lead away the great cultivators of the sea clan.
This time was also a coincidence, and the outer sea happened to catch up with the opening of a secret place in the Abyss Sea once every hundred years. This secret place is relatively less attractive to the cultivators of Xumi Sea, but it is much more attractive to the sea clan.
There are two extremely special secret places in the Abyss Sea, one is the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and the other is the ruins of the Abyss Dragon Palace. It is said that these two secret places should be connected by a special passage, but in the past ten thousand years, countless Xumi Sea monks and sea clan monks have entered, but never found this passage.
For thousands of years, the human monks and sea clan monks have also tacitly agreed on the ownership of the two secret places. The Dao Palace Secret Realm belongs to the human race, and the Abyss Dragon Palace belongs to the sea clan. Once the two secret places are opened, the sea clan will not harass the human race to break into the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and the human race will not harass the sea clan to explore the Abyss Dragon Palace.
Although both races understand that there is actually another ancient human monk relic, the Morality Palace, which is trapped in the Abyss Dragon Palace, but for thousands of years, the human race has completely abandoned this Morality Palace relic and concentrated all its energy on the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
This time, in order to attract the attention of the sea clan monk, the human race had to be shameless once and break into the Abyss Dragon Palace Relics to attract the sea clan monk.
As for the two secret realms, almost all the human Yuanying monks in Xumi Sea know. So when the great monks of the three families informed the heads of their respective families of this plan, the three of them had such uneasy actions today.
On the other hand, Ma Ming's face was calm, as if he didn't care much about his brother's going to the Abyss Black Island to die. But the fact is obviously not the case.
This plan had been planned when the Sea Hunting Alliance was established a thousand years ago. After a thousand years, the power of the Sea Hunting Alliance has grown, and it is the critical moment to truly implement this plan. Therefore, even if the four great families and the eight middle families of the Sea Hunting Alliance are reluctant, they must unconditionally accept the instructions of the four major sects.
As the surviving family of the Tianzhou monks, the Ma family has been able to pass on its legacy to this day. Of course, it is because there have always been great monks in the family for more than a thousand years, but the deeper reason is that they have long agreed to send great monks in the family to seal the entrance at the other end of the space channel of the Abyss Black Island.
Otherwise, with the strength of the four major sects, it would probably not take much effort to completely exterminate all the descendants of the Tianzhou monks.
Since this matter has long been destined to go this way, Ma Ming naturally has no right to object. Instead of frowning all day long and not being able to solve any problems, it is better to seize every opportunity to develop the next generation of monks.
This new generation of the descendants of the Tianzhou monks has good overall strength, and there are several talented young people who are very likely to advance to a higher level in the future. What's more, the monk who responded to the prophecy mentioned in the ancient prophecy of the Heavenly Dao has already appeared, but looking at his series of performances after coming to Liehai City, Ma Ming can find that this boy will definitely achieve a lot in the future, and he may really become the biggest hope to lead the Tianzhou monks to return to the Tianzhou continent.
Ma Ming has buried his yearning for the Tianzhou continent deep in his heart since he started practicing. This is his lifelong wish, and it is also the long-cherished wish of the entire Tianzhou monks, and he cannot have any other thoughts.
Just when everyone was distracted, one of the ten challengers finally stood up again and launched a new round of challenges to some of the thirty-two people below.
"I want to challenge Yun Chuang!" A young cultivator with a stern look pointed at Yun Chuang who was sitting cross-legged below and shouted to Taoist Xuan Ya.
"I want to challenge Li Jifeng!" Another cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan pointed at Li Jifeng next to Yun Chuang.
"I want to challenge Chen Qingmei!" A casual cultivator from the sea area of Lianhun Island pointed at Chen Qingmei.
"I want to challenge Yan Fei." A cultivator from Xuehai with a cold look pointed at Yan Fei.
"I want to challenge Ma Qingshan." A bald cultivator pointed at Ma Qingshan.
"I want to challenge Xue Ji." Another bald cultivator pointed at Xue Ji with a cold face.
This time, six people stood up one after another and challenged six different people among the thirty-two winning order masters below.
The six people whose names were called had cold faces, some snorted coldly, and some looked at the monks who challenged them, their eyes full of undisguised murderous intent. But no matter what, the six people had to stand up from their seats and walk to six different arena spaces.
Taoist Xuan Ya quickly wrote down the names on the bamboo slips, then waved the flag in his hand, opened the six arena spaces, and said loudly: "The challenge begins, please challenge the master to go on stage, and enter your own arena space in order."
The people watching below saw that six fights appeared at the same time, and their emotions suddenly became high, and their eyes eagerly scanned the six arena spaces.
