Chapter 369 1 All Rules Are Not Rules
Chapter 369 All Rules Are Not Rules (Part 4) (Monthly Ticket Plus )
"A rare talent among men, one of a kind, one of a kind throughout the ages..."
Li Yuan closed his eyes, thinking back to the voice of the Dragon Demon Taoist mumbling to himself in the hut when he was listening to the sound before.
The Dragon Demon Taoist transformed himself into a human with blood and searched for the Eight Directions Temple. It was obvious that he distinguished others by their talents. Then, should the one and only one in the ages be unrivaled?
hum~
In the sea of heart, the light of the Weapon-control Scroll was shining brightly, eight big stars were shining brightly, and all kinds of blessings descended upon the body in an instant.
Li Yuan had long been accustomed to the blessing of talent, but this time he still noticed the changes, as if a gust of wind rose from his body, blowing away the dust and fog in his heart, making it clear and bright.
A faint sense of joy rose from his heart, like a prisoner who had been locked up for a long time and suddenly broke free from the barriers. The intense feeling of pleasure made Li Yuan a little dazed.
hum~
Behind the archway, mist rose and a stone tablet rose from the ground. Unlike any other time, this stone tablet was shining with brilliant golden light, like a golden tablet:
[Trialist: Li Yuan, inner disciple of Xuanjing Sect]
【Talent:? World】
[Divine endowment: medium to low]
[Accessible: True Trial]
【? ? ? 】
On the stone tablet, golden light intertwined like water, and many words were jumping. Li Yuan tried to distinguish them, but he could only make out most of them. He did not recognize some of the other words.
"matchless?"
Although he didn't recognize the words, Li Yuan was very sure in his heart. However, he did not make a random guess, but replaced the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer.
"Roar!"
The long cry of the black whale echoed on the Upside-Down Mountain, and a red light cut through the sky and landed in front of the archway.
Woo~
The long cry disappeared in an instant, and the world seemed to be quiet for a moment.
The next moment, Li Yuan only heard a loud "boom", and the Inverted Mountain seemed to be lifted off the ground by the huge force, and large pieces of earth, rocks, and mud rolled down.
"Roar?"
The black whale's long cry was filled with shock and confusion.
With a few "clicks", another stone tablet rose in front of Li Yuan. The words on it were messy, and the spirit of the black whale spoke incoherently:
[You... Gaishi... No, that's not right, it's not... Yes... No, that's not right...]
There were bursts of roars on the upside-down mountain.
The spirit of the black whale seemed to be in great self-doubt, making long cries continuously. The words on the stone tablet flashed like a waterfall. They were all the divine words of the Sea-Splitting Technique, which made Li Yuan, who had just learned it, feel overwhelmed.
"Shut up!"
Li Yuan couldn't help but scold, and was about to throw the hammer into the Palm of Weaponry to calm down, but he only scolded once, and the roar in the sky disappeared.
The red hand hammer fell from the sky and landed in front of him very gently, making a slight trembling sound.
"..."
Looking at the Black Whale Spirit that was as docile as a little mouse, although he knew that this must be due to its 'unparalleled' talent, Li Yuan was still a little dazed.
"This change in attitude..."
Li Yuan didn't even stretch out his hand, he just spread out his five fingers, and the hand hammer was automatically delivered to his hand for him to hold.
"translate."
Master Li Dao snorted coldly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In this world, even a hammer is snobbish. Look at how skilled he is. It's really sad.
Before, even though the Sword Master had controlled it many times, the Black Whale Spirit's obedience was only out of fear. But now, in his perception, it was just like a puppy shaking its tail like a windmill.
[Trialist: Li Yuan]
【Talent: Unrivaled】
[Divine endowment: medium to low]
[Accessible: True Trial]
[…True Transmission Trial, only the talent of the Eternal Ages can enter, and only after three consecutive victories can one be promoted to True Transmission. Even the master’s personal disciple is not an exception…]
The translation of the Black Whale Spirit is much smoother than before. There is a long paragraph talking about the rules of the Black Whale Sect's true trial, three wins, and consecutive wins, no external interference allowed, etc.
"It's really unparalleled!"
Li Yuan was certain in his heart that the transformation of his own talent, coupled with the blessing of the talents of the Sea-Splitting Black Whale and Thunder Dragon Juntian, had already broken through to the level 2 which had never been seen before in the history!
Black Whale Hammer was still translating the rules of the Black Whale Sect, but the next sentence changed the subject:
[…If there are disciples with peerless talent who come here for the trial, all the rules can be ignored…Yes, they can be promoted directly to the true teachings! ]
Is this the true teaching?
Li Yuan was shocked. This was a pleasant surprise. But he immediately felt something was wrong. If he became a true disciple directly, would he still be able to go through the trials again and again?
hum~
The Black Whale Hammer in his hand trembled as he translated the last sentence.
[If you don’t have a Daozi, you can enter the Daozi Trial]
"There are still Daozi trials?"
Li Yuan was not too surprised. Several major Taoist sects all had the concept of Taoist sons. Obviously, this also came from these relic sects.
[…Gaishi, no…]
The Black Whale Hammer trembled slightly, and words appeared on the stone tablet again. These words obviously came from the Black Whale Spirit. It was shocked and expressed confusion.
“…Too rigid.”
Li Yuan was speechless. He had to be gifted to control the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer. He obviously couldn't sense this hammer. Was he falling into a vicious circle again?
But he didn't indulge it, and threw it away:
"If you don't recognize your master, get out of here. I'm going to look for the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace..."
hum~
The Black Whale Hammer was thrown far away, and the sound it made clearly carried a sense of grievance.
Then, under Li Yuan's gaze, the hand hammer trembled slightly, and turned into a fist-sized beast that looked like a whale but was not a whale and fell down, crawling respectfully in front of him.
A large patch of dark light suddenly rose before his eyes:
[Black Whale Hammer, has recognized its master]
[Control Condition 1: None]
[Control Effect 1: Hammer Talent, Physical Talent, Cultivation Talent, Power to Move Stars] [Control Condition 2: Unparalleled Talent, Thousand-Shape Body, Mysterious Whale Daoist, Fifth Level of the Military Training Sutra]
[Control Effect 2: Level 12 (Black): Walking Through the Mysterious Places
Level 11 (Black): Shape of Black Whale, Shape of Splitting Sea]
The dark light hung before my eyes like a curtain, with the words flowing inside it like a waterfall.
Looking at the black whale spirit crawling in front of him and humming, Li Yuan suddenly had a true understanding of the words on the stone tablet: "All rules are not rules..."
“Talent should be added before this.”
Master Li Dao understood, yet felt inexplicably sad.
His original physique was only average. If he hadn't been granted the ordination by Heaven, he might still be an apprentice in a weapon shop. How could he have imagined the treatment that geniuses receive?
The Divine Weapon Valley, Dragon and Tiger Temple, Black Whale Sect, and even the Black Whale Hammer, a dull weapon with limited intelligence...
"The world is different."
Li Yuan sighed.
He had tried everything before, but the hammer just ignored him. But now, with just one word from him, it was scared to the point of crawling on the ground and truly recognizing its master.
"Talent, you have to build it up!"
Daoye Li gritted his teeth, then focused his attention on the black light curtain, pausing for a moment on the second control condition.
This condition is indeed a bit exaggerated.
It would be fine if he had an unparalleled talent, but he actually needed a body with a thousand shapes...
"No wonder after thousands of years, there are only five major sects. It is too difficult to completely master the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers..."
Li Yuan was a little shocked. He didn't dare to imagine how the other military leaders met this condition.
"If I don't master weapons like the Mirage Dragon Whip and the Scarlet Blood Patterned Dragon Armor, and only rely on my own practice to gather a thousand forms, at my previous training speed, it will probably take 20 to 30 years?"
But after thinking about it, he felt that it was not impossible. As a peerless genius, his martial arts speed might be faster than before. Although the Thousand Forms were difficult, it was not impossible to achieve.
It just takes too long.
"That's not right. The Yangsheng Sect has the 'Hundred Forms Pill'. This standard may not be difficult for these relic sects to achieve. What is really difficult is the unparalleled talent."
Li Yuan pondered in his heart.
It is extremely difficult to change one's innate talent after birth. When he gathered 130 forms, he barely reached the level of peerless talent. By analogy, to push it to the level of unrivaled talent after birth, he would have to change ten thousand forms.
"Fortunately, the Taoist has the military talisman."
After pondering for a while, Li Yuan felt relieved and his eyes turned to the control effect:
[The shape of the black whale: a hundred shapes are mirage dragons, a thousand shapes are celestial dragons. The black whale is born in the ruins of the black water, and is even better than the celestial dragon.]
[Shape of the Split Sea: Wind, thunder, rain, lightning, grass, trees, rivers, and mountains are the shapes of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are vast, and the stars also have shapes. If you understand even a little of them, you can be compared to a celestial dragon.]
"A hundred forms of mirage dragons, a thousand forms of sky dragons... the form of a black whale, the form of a sea-splitting beast..."
Li Yuan pondered over the effects of these two palm controls and figured out a lot of things from them. When the Xuanjing Sect was at its peak, it must have been much stronger than the current Longhu Temple.
"If I gather a thousand forms and then control the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer, then I can at least change it to three thousand forms?"
Thinking about it this way, Li Yuan felt that he was not that far away from the Dragon Demon Taoist's Wanxing?
Woohoo~
Li Yuan leaned against the archway and pondered. The breeze was blowing gently. The spirit of the black whale glanced at him quietly, with a look of deep doubt in its eyes.
Even at such a close distance, it didn't sense the breath of the peerless level...
It was puzzled, but didn't dare to ask.
"Traveling through secluded places..."
After a long time, Li Yuan looked at the only twelfth-level control effect of the Black Whale Hammer. This effect only had three words. After concentrating on it, it seemed a bit ambiguous:
[Walking through the secluded area: You can walk in the "secluded area"]
Li Yuan couldn't figure out anything from this sentence, but the word "Tongyou" made him think of the "Tongyou Corridor" on the gray stone platform.
These two passages can't be the same thing, right?
"What is the Netherworld?"
He glanced at the Black Whale Spirit in front of him. It was the first time this little thing appeared in front of him. Before, it was either a shadow bigger than a mountain or a red hand hammer.
[No, I don’t know]
The spirit of the black whale can only transmit information through the stone tablet.
"Where's Tongyou?"
【Unknown】
Overestimating you.
Shaking his head inwardly, Li Yuan asked about what it might know:
"What are the benefits of becoming a true disciple of Xuanjing Sect?"
[No, I don’t know…]
“You don’t know this either?”
After looking at the passage formed by the mist, Li Yuan asked again:
"After becoming a True Disciple, can I still participate in the True Disciple Trial again?"
This time, the Black Whale Hammer did not answer:
[True disciples can only enter the Daozi Trial]
"Daozi Trial."
Li Yuan frowned inwardly, as his opponent in this true trial was already a master with eternal talent.
That Daozi Trial...
