Chapter 329: Exploring the Black Whale and the Sea-Splitting Ruins?
Chapter 329: Exploring the Black Whale and the Sea-Splitting Ruins?
The intelligence of this black whale spirit may not be higher than that of the little mouse.
Hanging upside down on the top of the mountain, looking at the messy words on the stone tablet, after several attempts, Li Yuan had to admit it.
There are spirits, but not many.
"fair enough."
Li Yuan said that he could accept this. If the spirit of the black whale was really extremely intelligent, he would not be able to sleep.
Being a little stupid has its advantages.
[…I’m afraid…I don’t have enough talent…I can’t get in…]
Not only stupid, but also dull.
Li Yuan shook his head in his heart. These are the same few words he kept repeating over and over again, right?
"Why can't I get in? You have to let me try, right?"
Li Yuan looked behind the mountain at the magnificent and solemn palace complex. Could this be the place that the Black Whale Spirit was referring to?
[…Can’t…enter the Ba…bafang…temple]
"Where? Bafang Temple?"
Li Yuan was startled, thinking of the ancient temple in the painting that the Dragon Demon Taoist had tried many times to enter when he listened to the heavenly music last time.
That should be the Bafang Temple, right?
This hammer...
"Enter the Eight Directions Temple? How to enter? Talent? Why do we need to enter the Eight Directions Temple? Where is the temple?"
Li Yuan asked questions in rapid succession.
The Black Whale Spirit's answer was incoherent and chaotic:
[…If I can’t get in…I will…die…I don’t have enough talent…I don’t have enough talent…I have eternal talent…I really recognize my master…]
"Who will die if we can't enter the Bafang Temple? You? To enter that temple, one needs an Eternal Level talent?"
Li Yuan took a long time to identify it, but facing his continuous questioning, the answers of the Black Whale Spirit seemed confusing.
After a while, he managed to sort it out: "An eternal talent, I have..."
and many more!
Li Yuan reacted. He was not controlling the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer and did not have the blessing of the four eternal talents.
"You must have an eternal talent before you can completely recognize the master?"
After figuring out the meaning of the hammer, Li Yuan was a little confused.
If you control the hammer, you cannot communicate with it, and if you communicate with it, you cannot control it. There is no eternal talent that satisfies the conditions for it to recognize its master...
[…You, didn’t…]
"..."
Li Yuan sighed.
The advantages of being stupid are obvious, but the disadvantages are also great. He can't understand what is being said, and he can't explain it even if he wants to.
With an IQ lower than that of a mouse, how could it understand these confusing words?
"If I am not gifted enough, why did you call me before?"
Li Yuan was a little speechless. This hammer was so dull that it was outrageous. How dare he despise his talent even though he was locked up in a small dark room?
[… Figure it out… Then look for the master…]
Li Yuan almost laughed out of anger. This hammer was not only stupid, but also wishful thinking.
However, he didn't bother with the hammer. After asking many questions, he gradually guessed something:
"Perhaps it's not that this hammer is stupid, but that talent is a 'master rule' that it must abide by?"
As a master of weapon casting, Li Yuan had some guesses. Although he could not understand how this was done for the time being, it was obvious that
The Black Whale Hammer, who was already extremely frightened and locked up in the small dark room, could not disobey.
"Still need to stack talents?"
Ever since he mastered the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer, Li Yuan no longer had the idea of stacking talents. Now, it seems that he may have to stack them after all.
As for the Bafang Temple...
"What good is there in a place where Dragon Demon Daoists want to go even if they die?"
Taoist Li had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't have that idea at the moment. Taoist Dragon Demon was a legendary figure who could change all forms and was a supreme grandmaster.
People like this all died in there, how could he dare to join in the fun?
As if sensing that Li Yuan was in a bad mood, the spirit of the black whale also behaved very well.
"call!"
After pondering for a while, Li Yuan simply sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet and communicated with the spirit of the black whale.
The communication itself was choppy, but through questions and answers, Li Yuan also understood the difference and advantages between his current state and the 'Black Whale Hammer truly recognized its master'.
Of course, half of it was deduced by him from the chaotic answers of the Black Whale Spirit.
"It seems that there is not much impact?"
Li Yuan touched his chin.
As long as the spirit of the Black Whale cooperates, his control over the Black Whale Secret Realm will be greatly enhanced, and he can even make it cover the outside like the Health Furnace Secret Realm.
In this way, we can grow magical rice, magical herbs and the like.
In addition, he can mobilize the ubiquitous Black Whale Qi in this Black Whale Secret Realm.
The downside is that before you truly acknowledge the master, you cannot see the conditions and effects of the second level of control.
hum~
Li Yuan's mind moved, and the black whale energy around him gathered together, and in an instant it turned into a phantom wearing a ghost face mask.
"Is this the principle of the Dragon Tiger Tower?"
Li Yuan stood up and paced. With every step he took, the figure in front of him changed. However, it was only limited to those who had passed the Upside-down Mountain.
He tried to "copy" the image of Long Xi, but failed miserably.
"Entering the Mysterious Whale Secret Realm is a prerequisite. Without a reflection object, the Mysterious Whale Qi cannot take shape. In addition, there are also requirements for visualization."
Li Yuan tried for a long time and stopped only when he felt exhausted.
Afterwards, he picked up the Black Whale Hammer and turned to walk towards the palace complex standing in the back mountain that he had been curious about for a long time.
Outside this magnificent and desolate palace complex, there is an invisible barrier that Li Yuan cannot break no matter how hard he tries. However, with the cooperation of the Black Whale Spirit, this barrier naturally cannot stop him.
Woo~
After passing the invisible barrier, Li Yuan felt a slight chill in his heart, and an indescribable sense of desolation came over him.
"This feeling is a bit like that Dragon Demon Taoist..."
Li Yuan reacted quickly, but an unspeakable sadness welled up in his heart. It was obvious that he was in tears.
This is simply a mental attack!
Li Yuan complained in his heart and took a while to adjust himself before he walked to the hundred-meter-high gate. There were words on both sides and the top of the gate that he could not understand.
"What is this word?"
Li Yuan asked.
There were two "click" sounds, and a stone tablet rose from the ground:
[Split...Split the Sea Divine Scripture]
really.
Li Yuan understood. He had looked for books in the library before, but there was no corresponding language.
"What's written on it?"
[…Xuanjingmen…]
"Such a large area, you tell me three words?"
[…There are only three words on it]
At the highest point of the mountain gate, it seems that there are only three words?
“…I asked the wrong question.”
Li Yuan felt that dealing with this hammer would make him angry to death. It was worse than having amnesia.
"What is the Xuanjing Sect? A sect?"
Li Yuan asked patiently.
【Yes】
This time the answer came quickly.
"Which sect?"
【Split Starfish】
Li Yuan's mind was moved: "What is the Sea-Splitting Star? Where is it?"
[The Split Sea Star is the Split Sea Star... It's here]
here?
Li Yuan was startled, and after glancing at the palace complex, he understood the abstract answer of the hammer. The Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer was a mysterious weapon made from the core of the Sea-Splitting Star. Naturally, the Sea-Splitting Star was here.
"Where is the Black Whale Sect?"
[Xuanjing Sect is a sect]
"..."
Li Yuan was speechless. He was too lazy to ask what was written on the pillars on both sides. He walked through the mountain gate. At this moment, he felt a cool breeze blowing.
In front of him, there was another stone tablet rising from the ground, covered with words similar to floral patterns.
"Can not Understand it."
Li Yuan squeezed the hammer, and the Black Whale Hammer Spirit realized what was happening, and raised a stone tablet of the same size to explain:
[…Trialist]
【Talent: The best among men】
[Divine endowment: medium to low]
[Can enter...Outer Gate Trial]
Talent, divine gift, outer sect trials?
Li Yuan frowned. He could understand talent, but what was this divine gift and what did it measure?
Li Yuan asked when he didn't understand.
This time, the Black Whale Hammer Spirit answered quickly:
[divine endowment: divine gift]
"?Gone?"
Li Yuan suddenly missed communicating with normal people. This gave him a headache. He just regarded this as another way of saying his physique.
"Outer sect trial?"
Li Yuan was of course very familiar with this. At this moment, he discovered that as the stone tablet rose, clouds of hazy mist rose up from all around, covering the palace complex.
Only a narrow path was left, wide enough for one person to pass through.
[The Road to the Outer Gate Trial]
"The Xuanjing Sect's test to recruit outer disciples? Only those who are at the top of the dragon and phoenix level can join the outer sect?"
Li Yuan was a little curious, but he did not move forward. Instead, he took a step back and silently activated the three Thunder Dragon Sky Hammers in the Weapon Control Scroll.
hum~
With the familiar blessing, Li Yuan walked through the door again, and the words on the stone tablet changed by two lines.
One line is a gift, the outstanding talents among people disappear, and are replaced by "unparalleled talent".
The outer sect trial place also changed into the inner sect trial place.
“Is the threshold so high?”
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows. He and Long Xinglie were the only two people with extraordinary talent in the current Dragon and Tiger Temple. How could such a talent only be able to take the inner sect trial?
"What's above the inner door?"
Li Yuan asked.
The Black Whale Hammer replied:
【True Teachings】
"Only those with eternal talent are qualified to become a true disciple? The threshold of this 'Mysterious Whale Sect' is really not low."
Li Yuan was amazed. Judging from this trial alone, the Xuanjing Sect was probably once an extremely glorious sect.
【Yes】
The Black Whale Spirit suddenly said:
[You, don’t have a talent of the highest level…]
"Who said I didn't?"
Being repeatedly looked down upon by this hammer, Master Li Dao suddenly became a little angry.
He decisively withdrew from the Black Whale Secret Realm and threw the Black Whale Hammer upwards onto the gray stone platform.
Without listening to the mournful cry it left behind, he entered the Black Whale Secret Realm again and quickly came to the mountain gate.
"Yes, there is one, but the 'guide' is gone."
Li Yuan first memorized the unfamiliar words on the stone tablet, and then activated the military talisman.
hum~
The familiar blessing descended, and Li Yuan sighed comfortably. He felt the mist in front of his eyes become lighter. Then, he took a step forward.
Woohoo~
It seemed as if a strong wind suddenly came, causing the fog to swirl all around.
The passage in the fog disappeared in an instant, and the words on the stone tablet also changed. Although it was still a patterned text that he could not understand, he could tell the difference.
The line of talent and trial all turned golden and shone brightly.
"This should be the true test?"
Looking at the two lines of golden words, although he couldn't understand them, Li Yuan's mood improved a lot, but he didn't rush into the newly appeared foggy passage.
Instead, he changed his mind and took off the Black Whale Hammer again.
Boom!
Li Yuan heard a familiar roar. Among the sea of clouds, the Black Whale Hammer Spirit reappeared. The huge creature let out a startled roar. Seeing the clouds and mist surging around it, it finally calmed down.
Swish!
Li Yuan opened his palm, and a red light instantly fell on his palm.
[…No, I don’t dare.]
On the stone tablet, Black Whale Hammer's answer was more fluent than before.
Li Yuan ignored him and pointed to the stone tablet behind the mountain gate:
"What does it say on the stone tablet?"
boom!
Li Yuan only felt a pain in his wrist, and this body of true energy almost exploded. The Black Whale Hammer Spirit was shocked and buzzed, and dozens of lines of extremely messy words instantly appeared on the stone tablet.
Li Yuan didn't understand, but he felt the shock of the hammer, and felt quite comfortable in his heart.
After a while, words that Li Yuan could understand appeared in the messy text. It was still very messy, but he roughly understood it.
This hammer is questioning how he faked it...
Li Yuan felt that he had been speechless more times than in his past and present lives combined. He was too lazy to argue with it and asked:
"…What does it say?"
[Talent: Unique in the Ages (Part 1)]
[You can enter... the trial ground for true disciples]
Well, sure enough.
Seeing the words that were exactly the same as what he had guessed, Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Holding the still vibrating hammer, he stepped into the true teaching trial passage.
Woohoo~
Walking slowly in the passage, Li Yuan looked around. From the outside of the passage, it seemed like just fog, but when he walked in, he discovered that the passage was surrounded by all kinds of strange patterns.
It is similar to the previous text, but also different, and sometimes you can see some simple pictures.
“Is this a martial art?”
Li Yuan looked at it curiously.
【no】
In the passage, the answer of the Black Whale Hammer appeared directly.
There was only one answer to each question. Li Yuan was already used to it. He asked a few questions casually and found that the passage was vibrating, as if urging him to go, so he sped up.
hum~
The passage was not long, only about eleven or twelve miles. Li Yuan quickened his pace and passed through it.
After the passage, the view suddenly becomes clear.
Li Yuan looked around. This was a concave venue. The center of the venue was very wide, and there were various seats around it?
"Arena?"
Li Yuan stepped on the ground and jumped nearly a hundred meters. He quickly looked around and found that there were seats on the platforms all around as he had guessed.
When he landed, the Black Whale Hammer appeared without waiting for him to ask:
[This is the place where the true teachings are tested... The disciples of Xuanjing Sect fight fiercely here to compete for the position of the true teachings]
Woo~
There seemed to be the sound of wind blowing all around, and a faint mist emerged from nowhere, covering the surrounding platforms.
"Wow!"
Li Yuan turned around suddenly, and heard shouts that he could not understand coming from behind him. Then, they came from all directions, from faint to as loud as a tsunami.
He squinted his eyes and looked around. Through the hazy fog, he seemed to be able to see countless blurry figures, some sitting, some standing, some tall, some short.
Without exception, everyone was cheering.
What made them cheer...
Li Yuan looked at the opposite side and saw a tall figure also shrouded in mist, slowly walking out of the passage, dragging a weapon at least six meters away, similar to the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
Even though he was several miles away, Li Yuan already felt the tremendous oppression.
"At least at the Grandmaster level, and also, at the Eternal level!"
