Chapter 1077
Li Xiuzuan saw the white deer walk away before pulling his face out of the mud. He wiped it hurriedly, and it was as if nothing had happened!
Cui Dan wiped his face carefully, still somewhat admiring his optimism.
But he saw Li Xiuzuan pinch a seal again and shout: "Filial Piety!"
Immediately, he summoned a white light from the white deer and pointed it toward his feet. Instantly, a white cloud the size of a palm rose up, arching him and floating him up.
Cui Dan was slightly stunned and panicked: "Are you tired of living?"
"What's there to fear? I called her Martial Aunt, didn't she respond? No sound means she agreed! In this way, I can borrow supernatural powers with the 'Filial Piety' character mantra. Ugh! She doesn't really recognize me; that one 'Martial Aunt' only allowed me to borrow such a palm-sized Step-Heaven Cloud..."
Li Xiuzuan stood on it with his two feet crooked. Seeing Cui Dan beside him stunned, he had to sigh, stood on one leg like a golden rooster, divided a piece of the auspicious cloud under his feet, and signaled Cui Dan to jump up too.
Cui Dan only knew after stepping on it that this was not because Li Xiuzuan's balance was not good, but because his balance was too good.
That piece of Step-Heaven Cloud was probably just a breath exhaled by the white deer.
The power supporting them seemed to be less than the power of a mortal's palm, and the clouds and mist swirled and condensed, the force changing unpredictably. Being able to stand straight relied entirely on the cultivator's amazing physical fitness.
He tried twice and fell down. He looked at Li Xiuzuan and said: "How about? You shout again? Or kowtow!"
Li Xiuzuan was silent and speechless: "If I could borrow more, I wouldn't mind kowtowing until my head broke."
"But Aunt Bai Lu must have a way to restrain my 'Filial Piety' character formula. Even if I work ten times harder, the magic power I can borrow is just this much!"
As he spoke, he looked up and sighed: "My father should also have a way to restrain it! Originally, I sensed in the dark that I could borrow at least the power of Core Formation. Now, if I go again, I can only be 'Filial' to one-tenth of the original!"
"It's my fault for not discovering the potential of this formula too early..."
"I only found out later that as long as I kowtow, I can 'Filial' extraordinary magic power, and I can even borrow various supernatural powers. Even if the magic power has to be returned in the future, the various principles understood through performing supernatural powers remain. Kowtowing only damages some luck! Vow power seems to be borrowing luck for sacrifice, forcibly exchanging for magic power blessing... Besides kowtowing to damage luck, faith vow power, and even bloodline connection can borrow Daoist practice and magic power!"
"Its root seems to be that as long as there is payment, there must be a harvest. Regardless of whether the other party is willing or not, as long as they accept my 'filial piety', I can borrow their power."
Cui Dan was slightly stunned and suddenly exclaimed: "This method is extremely heaven-defying!"
The Filial Piety character mantra, unless one strongly refuses Li Xiuzuan's 'filial piety', will inevitably have power borrowed.
It is a kind of forced upward transaction.
And now he is not familiar with the development of the 'Filial Piety' character mantra. Otherwise, if it goes to a higher level—
Combining with the 'Urgent' character can disguise this kind of transaction as a normal divine talisman.
That is, sacrifice vow power, and the deity descends magic power to transform into a talisman.
Generally, this requires the complete 'Talisman Conferment' of the Primordial Dao, and only after having permission on the Investiture of the Gods can it be done.
But the 'Urgent' character formula can bypass the divine system of the Primordial Dao, disguising the forced borrowing of divine power by the 'Filial Piety' character as a reasonable and legal talisman conferment system.
This means that relying on the 'Filial Piety' character, Li Xiuzuan, as long as he offers vow power, can directly borrow divine arts, disguise himself as a corresponding realm's talisman-conferred Daoist, and can even conversely steal the wisdom and insights of gods, cultivate magic arts, which is an extremely heaven-defying means.
And if the 'Filial Piety' character is combined with the 'Code' character, it can even avoid the blatantness of forcibly borrowing power, and unknowingly borrow the wisdom, insights, and realm of the 'Foster Father'!
It is the number one great theft method in the world!
The 'Filial Piety' character and the 'Collapse' character can interfere with and cut off the external power blessings of most of the world.
The 'Filial Piety' character and the 'Joy' character can even borrow without returning, truly completely stealing that portion of power and turning it into one's own foundation.
Most of the Luo Tian Six-Character True Formula can be combined in pairs, having unique wonders.
The highest realm can even combine the six characters, erasing the boundary between reality and illusion, reaching the realm of spirit immortality and invincibility!
Cui Dan only heard the beginning and immediately realized the terror of this formula.
Especially restraining bloodline elders, after all, this technique can be integrated into daily speech and behavior, every move is nothing but 'filial piety', thus secretly eroding the elder's Dao foundation and forcibly borrowing the elder's magic power.
Once it erupts, filial piety becomes powerful, and it can forcibly seize the Dao foundation, almost like a Heavenly Demon seizing the Dao, which is terrifying.
If it weren't for this, Qian Chen wouldn't need to urgently develop the 'Tang' character true formula and give it to the Li family to suppress their luck!
Cui Dan only managed to think of a beginning and couldn't help but shiver, saying: "Li Erlang must never abuse this formula. This is digging at the foundation of the noble families. Once the 'Filial Piety' character formula spreads, there is no need for others to kill or fight; I'm afraid the noble families of the world will collapse themselves! This is a demon Dao true formula specifically for internal rebellion within noble families... No! Not just within noble families."
"If this formula is such that as long as they accept his 'offerings', they will have power borrowed..."
Cui Dan suddenly thought of a terrifying question: "Then the common people of the world..."
Li Xiuzuan also thought of this question. If a son's demands on his father are all considered 'filial piety', then the noble families of the world treat all the common people, all the population they can see and control, as 'sons'!
And it's not just noble families, but even gods, the imperial court, and immortal sects.
The common people of the world have too many parents above their heads. If the 'Filial Piety' character formula were allowed to spread...
Cui Dan sighed: "The Immortal Qin Luo Tian Six-Character True Formula is indeed terrifying. I originally thought that 'Joy' and 'Win' were already heaven-defying methods, but I didn't expect 'Filial Piety' to be the most powerful. Once this method leaks, it will not only be the noble families and the imperial court, but even the divine Dao will be shaken."
"In this way, I'm afraid the Heavenly Court will come to cut off its foundation and cut off the Dao fruit behind it!"
Li Xiuzuan murmured: "What if they can't cut it off?"
"Hahaha!" Cui Dan laughed loudly: "If the Heavenly Court can't cut it off, there is still the Primordial Dao Ancestor! Who do you think is the one who holds the divine Dao in the world? What Dao fruit can withstand a slash from the Primordial Dao Ancestor?"
"This formula must not be abused. Once it spreads, I'm afraid the foundation principles will be cut off, and the Dao Lords behind it will fall!"
Cui Dan breathed a sigh of relief.
But he saw Li Xiuzuan kowtow on the ground: "Nineteenth brother, and the Bai Lu Venerable under his seat!"
The luck 'won' above his head bent slightly, and instantly a stream of light came from afar, merging into Li Xiuzuan's feet, making that piece of white cloud grow several times larger, barely able to support the two of them.
Cui Dan widened his eyes: "You still dare to use it?"
Li Xiuzuan said indifferently: "What's there not to dare? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Since Uncle Ancestor dared to pass it on, I dare to use it!"
He looked at the luck drifting slightly above his head and exclaimed: "So that's how the luck 'won' is used. Indeed, the Luo Tian Six-Character True Formula is interlinked, and each formula can greatly bless other true formulas."
Cui Dan looked at the calm lake surface, and the lecher in his eyes had already seen through hundreds of layers of phantom realms, but still couldn't see the bottom of the lake.
He hesitated: "Do we really want to trust the natural supernatural powers of that white deer? This flat lake reflects the phantom moon, forming countless layers of phantom realms. If we fall into it, as our bodies sink, the phantom realms we sink into will become more and more numerous. Even if we break through one layer, there is another layer, and I don't know how many layers are blocking the way!"
"It's almost ten deaths and no life..."
Just at this moment, the female cultivator who had fallen in earlier slashed and cracked the frozen lake surface, jumped out with two items flowing with spiritual light in her hands.
The lingering fear on her face had not yet faded, and she cursed in terror: "Damn it... That white deer is despicable, shameless, and black-hearted. If it weren't for the fact that I had cultivated the Ice Soul Divine Light and found the disharmony of the illusion with an icy heart, slashing through the phantom realm, I would have drowned in this lake!"
She glanced at the fairy sunflower in her hand, which was like a tentacle, opening its tentacles like a flower, bathing in the moonlight, full of spiritual energy, but already dying from being pulled by her.
"This phantom realm actually exists by relying on the Taiyin Fairy Sunflower. No wonder it made me dream of countless tentacles attacking from the moon, fiercely attacking my weaknesses! With this quality, it should be a thousand years old!"
"This kind of spiritual plant is neither plant nor beast, but a kind of alternative spiritual insect. Its body fluid is comparable to the purest Taiyin Fairy Dew. Even in the palace, there are few such spiritual materials. One must have the Moon Laurel Spiritual Root to condense Taiyin Fairy Dew."
She happily collected the Taiyin Fairy Dew.
But Cui Dan realized: "You only slashed through one layer of the phantom realm and came out?"
The female cultivator from Guanghan Palace put her hands on her hips and said fiercely: "Yeah! It's just that I have great ability."
She glanced at the two people on the side: "If it were you, the tentacles of the Taiyin Fairy Sunflower would be numb and itchy when touched, sour and stinging, and countless tentacles would stretch over. How could you resist?"
"And it's even harder to be like me, with an icy heart, calmly condensing blade intent, slashing through millions of tentacles, and grabbing its only true body?"
Cui Dan shook his head: "You can come out, you should thank that white deer for holding back!"
He pointed to a wisp of cloud Qi lingering on her body that was almost non-existent.
Cui Dan had already understood everything: "The Step-Heaven Cloud naturally condensed by the white deer naturally has a power of ascension. Although it is countless times worse than the real Ascension Fairy Light, in the phantom realm, it can naturally rise from the phantom realm!"
"Therefore, you fell into the lake but did not sink to the deepest part, but stayed on the surface. Once you slashed through the phantom realm, you could naturally struggle out relying on the remaining bit of cloud Qi."
"That white deer was not harming you, but bestowing you a chance!"
The female cultivator from Guanghan Palace's face turned red instantly, and she said urgently: "You... talk nonsense, it stepped me down, and that's bestowing me a chance?"
As she spoke, the female cultivator herself reacted, but she was still angry and embarrassed, stuck there.
Cui Dan looked at the lake surface reflecting the phantom moon and said slowly: "If these phantom realms are really formed by the Mirage Qi descended from the phantom moon above and merged with the spiritual plants and objects in the lake, the phantom realms have no basis, and can only rely on those simple spiritual consciousnesses to evolve. Then the danger within is greatly reduced!"
"After all, the spiritual consciousness of spiritual objects is simple, and the evolved phantom realms are nothing more than some sensory stimuli, without love, hate, or red-dust entanglements."
"And once you slash through the phantom realm, you can find the true body of the spiritual object and seize it..."
Li Xiuzuan's eyes also became brighter and brighter.
"Relying on our Step-Heaven Cloud Qi, diving down a hundred times is not a problem! If we can all find spiritual objects like the Taiyin Fairy Sunflower..."
His eyes could not hide the brilliance. The Taiyin Fairy Sunflower alone was equivalent to a Second-Turn spiritual pill or spiritual medicine! If it fell into the hands of Guanghan Palace, any pill refined from it would be worth a property in Chang'an!
And they, however, had more than a hundred opportunities...
Cui Dan subconsciously shook his head: "Keeping most of the cloud Qi to cross the lake is the best policy, but using a little to test the phantom realm is fine."
"After all!" He hesitated: "Now is really the best time!"
"The Phantom Moon Mirage Qi can only rely on the spiritual consciousness of spiritual objects to transform into phantom realms, which is relatively simple. But if one or two True Persons sink in, or even without sinking in, the more we dive, the more various memories and emotions will be reflected in the lake. Once those Mirage Qi merge with people's memories, the difficulty will suddenly increase a hundredfold."
"As more and more people come, this lake will only become more and more terrifying!"
The Guanghan female cultivator on the side hesitated slightly, but still couldn't help but say: "Spiritual objects are a small path. The most precious thing in this Phantom Moon Spiritual Realm is the origin of the Phantom Moon itself. This kind of Dao rhyme can condense Dao seeds. Even if a Primordial Spirit True Immortal comes, they will be jealous."
"Now this phantom realm is still very simple, which is the best time to seize the Dao rhyme."
"If, as you said, more and more people's memories, spiritual feelings, and even people themselves sink in, the phantom realm formed by relying on them will be too terrifying!"
Cui Dan spread his hands: "But do you have a way to stop later people from coming one after another?"
The Guanghan Palace female cultivator was also speechless. Indeed, the more people who go into the water, the more terrifying the phantom realm will be. But now, wanting to slash through the countless phantom realms and seize the Phantom Moon origin, let alone her, even if a Yang Spirit True Person came, they couldn't do it. It just so happens that the Pinghu Blessed Land does not allow anyone above Core Formation to enter.
Seeing that it was impossible to obtain the Dao rhyme, but people came, if they didn't know the inside story, they would drown inside.
A terrifying phantom realm would be added immediately.
If they were told the inside story, anyone would take this opportunity to fish for spiritual objects.
Not to mention that the memory projections when they dive down will gradually make the phantom realm more and more complex.
Just saying that this kind of greed, sooner or later, someone will die inside.
By then, the difficulty of the phantom realm will also start to soar.
A vicious cycle of the more dangerous it is, the more people die, and the more people die, the more dangerous it is.
The best choice now is to be like Cui Dan and the others, fish for a bit and run, and before the phantom realm starts killing people, withdraw and go to the lotus in the lake.
But watching them increase the difficulty of the truly precious Phantom Moon Dao rhyme for this little profit, the Guanghan Palace female cultivator was also unwilling.
Cui Dan comforted her: "The Phantom Moon Dao rhyme and the phantom realm complement each other. Now that the phantom realm has not yet formed, the Dao rhyme must also be shallow."
"As the phantom realm becomes more and more terrifying, the nurtured Phantom Moon Dao rhyme will naturally become more and more perfect..."
"Anyway, we can't get it, so let's just treat it as free-range here!"
The Guanghan female cultivator was instantly encouraged: "That's right!"
She glanced at the cloud Qi on her body that had faded to almost non-existent, and then looked at the thick Step-Heaven Clouds under the two people's feet. The smile on her face suddenly became complicated.
"Little brother, want to make a deal?"
After a tense and exciting deal, the Guanghan Palace female cultivator held half a palm of Step-Heaven Cloud and showed a satisfied smile.
"I am Liu Ruyan, from the Hedong Liu clan. I am a fellow villager from Guanzhong with you. I was sent overseas since I was young and joined the Guanghan Palace!"
"Now I am returning home with my master. One is to find a very important big figure in this sect, and the other is to find a relative who has been separated for many years. If you two meet a female cultivator riding a white deer, lifting her hand with crystal-clear blade Qi, killing without blinking, or an orphan girl surnamed Liu, please tell me, there will definitely be a reward!"
Li Xiuzuan's eyes turned. He seemed to know both of these people.
One should be certain, and the other is somewhat suspected...
But just the identity of Ning Qingchen would make him dare not speak, so he just perfunctorily said: "If I see them, I will naturally tell you!"
"However..."
He turned to look at Cui Dan: "You used Step-Heaven Cloud Qi to exchange for the secret of the Phantom Moon Dao rhyme? Is it worth it?"
Cui Dan glared at him and said: "Regarding the resources for Dao seeds, do you know how many Primordial Spirits would be willing to exchange their entire net worth once it is released?"
Liu Ruyan nodded and pointed at him, saying: "He is right. If the Phantom Moon Dao rhyme couldn't be hidden, and it was within the Louguan Dao blessed land, my master could have slaughtered all the cultivators present to hide this secret!"
"But since it can't be hidden from those with intent, we can only exchange for some benefits!"
She was also very frank, not hiding her complicated psychology of drooling, being heartbroken, but knowing it was impossible.
Since Liu Ruyan had succeeded in getting some Step-Heaven Cloud Qi, she immediately wrapped the cloud Qi around her body and plunged fiercely toward the lake surface.
She wanted to try the phantom realm a few more times. If she could figure out a little bit, and get closer to the Phantom Moon Dao rhyme by one point, it would be much more valuable than the lotus in the lake, so she didn't consider the need to cross the lake at all.
Cui Dan said: "Let's take turns going down. If we meet people coming, we must inform them of the inside story of the Phantom Moon Realm, so as not to let them drown below and endanger us."
After speaking, Cui Dan jumped down first.
Liu Ruyan went up to the water surface again, touched a bucket-sized spiritual shell, and the faint smoke in the spiritual pearl seemed to linger.
Listening to her lingering fear: "This phantom realm actually exists by relying on this shell!"
"It swallowed and spat out Mirage Qi, transforming into a Mirage Building Shell. The phantom realm is ten times more powerful than the Taiyin Fairy Sunflower last time. If it weren't for my Guanghan Palace's Ice Soul Divine Knife being powerful, I almost wouldn't have been able to come back!"
Cui Dan went down once and touched a handful of spiritual grass: "Deer-Horn Blood Algae, also with a thousand-year quality!"
"But the phantom realm is mediocre, and the value is also mediocre."
Li Xiuzuan replaced him and went down, but encountered a phantom realm full of Solar True Fire, which burned him until he was in a mess.
It was hard for him to slash open the phantom realm with a thunderous knife and float to the water surface, only grabbing a meat sunflower that was somewhat similar to the Taiyin Fairy Sunflower.
Liu Ruyan said happily: "Solar Fairy Sunflower, come, come, let's exchange!"
"Refining the Yin-Yang Fairy Sunflower together, the grade can be raised by one level, and it can be used as the main medicine for Third-Turn spiritual pills!"
She exchanged the Mirage Building Shell for the Solar Fairy Sunflower. Counting it, it was slightly higher than the market price.
But Guanghan Palace just lacked spiritual herbs that matched the Yin-Yang Fairy Sunflower. Liu Ruyan was quite generous and didn't care.
Soon, others came to this lake beach.
Cui Dan stepped forward and frankly told them about the various dangers and mysteries, to prevent some fools from dying below and increasing the difficulty for everyone.
?? Exciting!!!
