"Speak," Mo Tianxuan said.
Su Yu glanced at Deputy Region Master Xiao. "May I ask, Deputy Region Master Xiao, is this a challenge between factions or between individuals?"
Deputy Region Master Xiao looked at Su Yu and chuckled. "I guess this must be the world-renowned Master Su. This challenge is not only between factions, but also between individuals. Master, do you have any questions?"
"Since it's a personal challenge, it's boring if we don't bet on the outcome," Su Yu said.
Deputy Region Master Xiao said, "Haha, what would you like to bet on, Master Su?"
Su Yu's eyes flashed. "I've heard that the Heavenly Knife Region is rich in resources. I'd like to ask for a special cultivation technique that can be used with the treasures in the beads."
A bead type of treasure? Everyone was stunned. People who used such treasures were rare.
The corresponding cultivation techniques were even rarer.
Deputy Region Master Xiao frowned slightly. "I'm sorry, the Heavenly Knife Region does have a few treasures, but I haven't read them, so I can't repeat the contents."
Is that so? Su Yu's eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Isn't it easy to get such a cultivation technique? I have it. " A sharp voice floated over. It was the jade-clothed man. A piece of jade on his body emitted a green light and flew towards Su Yu.
Su Yu grabbed it in the air, looked at the jade-clothed man for a moment, and probed it with a trace of soul energy.
"The top-grade legendary cultivation technique, Meteor Light Stream Formation!" Su Yu's eyes were filled with surprise. He had used a top-grade legendary cultivation technique!
Although such cultivation techniques were not strictly offensive cultivation techniques, and were not as valuable as top-grade legendary cultivation techniques, they were rare, and ordinary people could not find them.
This man had one with him, which showed that his identity was extraordinary.
The Meteor Light Stream Formation was a powerful formation that used nine beads to form a large formation to destroy the enemy.
The power of the formation depended on the number of beads and the strength of the beads.
If the beads were all top-grade spiritual artifacts, the nine beads could seal the enemy, and they would be attacked by nine beads in succession. The power was comparable to a blow from a seventh-grade Almighty, which was very powerful.
An offensive formation.
However, the disadvantage of this cultivation technique was that it consumed a lot of soul energy. It was very strenuous for a sixth-grade Almighty to activate the entire formation. Usually, they could only use it once before they felt tired and dizzy.
If it wasn't necessary, no one would use it.
Su Yu's eyes lit up. His third-grade Almighty soul really couldn't support nine round pearls to unleash the great formation, but five pearls wouldn't be a problem.
Moreover, he only needed the Underworld Pearl to be effective among the five of them.
Even an All Creations Old Monster would lose a layer of skin after being hit by the Underworld Pearl, let alone an Almighty Divine Master.
There was only a name and a brief introduction on the jade slip, nothing else.
Su Yu's eyes flickered. "What do you want?"
"If I win, I only want one thing, ten drops of your essence blood," said the jade-clothed man.
Su Yu frowned. For practitioners, apart from containing life energy, essence blood often had many other mysterious uses.
For example, it could be made into a Life Plate to determine whether or not it was dead.
He resisted the urge to refine some Dharma treasures and talismans.
In fact, it could even cause long-range damage to the owner of the Blood Essence.
Mo Tianxuan squinted her eyes and stared at Su Yu. "You have to think this through carefully. I know some strange secret techniques. A drop of blood essence can control a person from thousands of miles away."
Giving one's essence blood to an outsider was a huge taboo in cultivation.
Having been reminded by Mo Tianxuan, Su Yu pondered for a moment and nodded lightly. "Alright, how do we start the competition?"
The jade-clothed man laughed. "Haha, straightforward! The competition is very simple. The winner will be decided in half a cup of tea's time. "
As he spoke, two wooden tablets appeared in the jade-clothed man's palms, emitting a shocking wood-based scent.
Su Yu had only encountered such a rich scent in the Ancient Tung Forest.
The wooden tablets were made of a very precious type of wood, containing a shocking amount of vitality. They were only slightly weaker than the three drops of the Fountain of Life that Su Yu had obtained.
Mo Tianxuan's eyes shone. "Essence wood of All Creations Stage Seven."
The so-called essence wood was extracted from the core material of the Mu people's torso, where the Mu people's essence was.
Usually, it could only be extracted when one was alive to retain the essence. After death, the essence would dissipate.
In Jiuzhou, this item was something that could only be encountered by chance, because the Mu people of Jiuzhou were as rare as phoenix feathers and water chestnuts. Moreover, they had cultivated to Stage Seven All Creations, which was close to the mortal fairy level.
Apart from the Nine Great Prefecture's Kings, the Severed Fairy Cliff was the most likely to possess this item.
And he had two of them.
"The Mu words are different from those of the human race, which are learned at a young age, familiarized, and finally mastered. Once the Mu people reach adulthood and gain spiritual intelligence, they will automatically open up their inherited memories and obtain all the wood words!
The memory of the Mu words! The essence wood contains the memories of the Mu people. As long as one instills his own memory of the Mu words into the essence wood, the essence wood will respond. "
"The more one can overlap with the essence wood's memory, the more it will resonate with the essence wood, and the appearance of annual rings will be able to determine which of us has a broader and more accurate memory of the Mu words.
Su Yu stared at the essence wood. He could confirm that the inheritance of the Mu people's memory was true.
In other words, the memory preserved by this essence wood covered all the Mu words.
Su Yu only needed to instill the Mu words that he had learned into the essence wood, and the essence wood would respond.
According to the strength of the response, annual rings would appear on the essence wood. The number of annual rings would directly reflect the gap between the two parties.
Su Yu's pupils shone brightly, and he nodded slightly. "Let's begin."
The jade-clothed man stepped forward and placed his palm on the essence wood. He slowly closed his eyes and silently recalled the Mu words in his memory.
Before long, the essence wood began to tremble slightly like a fish, and a circle of annual rings appeared in the center of the essence wood.
Su Yu stepped forward calmly and placed his palm on it as well, recalling the Mu words in his memory.
Before long, the essence wood began to tremble slightly, and an annual ring appeared.
As the competition began, both Deputy Region Master Xiao and Mo Tianxuan began to pay attention.
"Sister Wuxin, who do you think is more powerful?" Gongsun Wuxie stared at Su Yu and asked with a faint smile.
Bing Wuxin said, "I can't tell at the moment, but there is a 90% chance that Su Yu will lose."
"Why are you so sure?" Gongsun Wuxie did not think much of it. In her mind, Su Yu was the ruthless demonic man who shocked the continent. How could such a powerful existence lose so easily?
Even if it was in the realm of words.
Bing Wuxin said, "It's very simple! The other party came prepared. He even dared to make a bet of 100 million crystals, so he must be fully prepared! In the competition between the two sides, the fairest part was the same essence wood, and the most unfair
The most unfair part is also the same two sets of essence wood. "
Gongsun Wuxie was quick-witted and immediately understood. She blinked her big eyes. "Sister Wuxin, you mean that there is something wrong with Brother Yuxian's essence wood."
The most unfair part was that the essence wood was prepared by the challenger.
Whether there was a problem or not, only they would know.
Bing Wuxin nodded lightly and immediately looked at Mo Tianxuan. "Yes, let's see what our Palace Master Mo will do."
Both sides patiently instilled their memories, and the intensity of their essence wood's reaction was about the same.
Seeing that they were about to enter a stalemate, Mo Tianxuan suddenly said, "Exchange the essence wood, and the competition continues."
Her voice contained some kind of great power, and the two who were trying hard to recall were disrupted at the same time.
Deputy Region Master Xiao frowned. "Palace Master Mo, this is not good, is it?"
Mo Tianxuan said indifferently, "This is good. You brought the essence wood, so you know very well whether there is a problem with the two sets of essence wood. During the competition just now, this master of yours did not give us any opportunity to choose any essence wood.
If you have the chance to choose the essence wood, just choose one and start. Of course, I have reason to suspect that there are differences between the two! "
"In addition, if there is any difference between the two sets of essence wood that will affect the competition during the competition, the challenge will be stopped on the spot," Mo Tianxuan announced without any hesitation.
Although Deputy Region Master Xiao was reluctant, he nodded. "Don't worry, there is no problem with the essence wood."
Next, both sides exchanged essence wood.
Such a small interlude ensured that the competition was fair.
The competition resumed, and the annual rings on both sets of essence wood grew steadily.
Mo Tianxuan watched quietly. The benefits of this battle were secondary. A hundred million crystals and five hundred shops were shocking, but the most important thing was their reputation.
If the Heavenly Knife Region lost like this, the Red Blood Palace would become a laughing stock.
In the Blessed and Heavenly Lands where chaos was gradually rising, any incident that would damage the faction's image had to be paid close attention.
Moreover, Tianya City was located at the border of both sides, and it was a place that the military would fight for.
It was not easy to drive them out with the sacrifice. If they occupied another part of it, it would be even more difficult to drive them out again.
Both sides' annual rings were growing at the same rate.
Su Yu was multitasking. When he caught a glimpse of his opponent's annual rings, he was secretly shocked.
The faster the annual rings grew, the faster and more accurate his recall speed was, and the more words there were.
So far, Su Yu had recalled more than half of his Mu words, and his opponent could still keep up with his rhythm.
Three-quarters of the time had passed, and both sides had reached the final stage.
Su Yu had recalled all the simple and easy-to-remember Mu words, and all that was left was the ancient words.
To Su Yu's surprise, his opponent's speed was still almost the same as his.
There was dead silence in the main hall, and no one dared to breathe as they stared at the changing annual rings of both sides.
They could all see that both sides were evenly matched.
Deputy Region Master Xiao's face was solemn, and he was extremely surprised. According to the jade-clothed man, there was no one in the Jiuzhou continent who understood Mu words better than him.
However, Su Yu was not at a disadvantage, and he was even slightly ahead. Both sides had reached sixty annual rings.
Finally, half a cup of tea's time had passed.
Su Yu had recalled all the Mu words in his memory, and there were a total of sixty-six thick annual rings.
However, Su Yu's face fell when his opponent's annual rings continued to grow!
This did not make sense.
The speed of both sides' memories was almost the same. There should not have been a situation where Su Yu had finished recalling while his opponent's momentum did not slow down.
The scene made the faces of those who did not know the truth change abruptly.
"Su Yu is no match for him!" This thought appeared in everyone's mind.
Mo Tianxuan's face fell. If her opponent was obviously cheating, she could declare the duel invalid.
However, it turned out that her own people were not good enough.
The group of inner sanctum elders felt as if the sky had collapsed, and their faces were gloomy and unpleasant.
Oh no!
The Heavenly Knife Region had re-entered Tianya City, and their reputation had been completely destroyed. It was equivalent to being slapped in the face.
They had used Mu words to seize the shops of the Heavenly Knife Region, but the Heavenly Knife Region had used the same method to take them back.
Such a deliberate way of humiliating them made their faces fall.
"Palace Master, the duel is fake. He has finished recalling all the Mu words. What he is recalling now is not Mu words at all, but other memories that can resonate with essence wood!" Su Yu said.
He cupped his fists.
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
There was a problem. There was no problem with the essence wood, but there was a problem with the person.
The jade-clothed man must have had more memories of resonating with essence wood, which he used to imitate Mu words.
Perhaps the jade-clothed man had never thought that there would be someone who had comprehended all the Mu words, forcing him to confuse other memories after he had finished memorizing the words and add more growth rings.
Mo Tianxuan's brows relaxed, and she looked at Deputy Region Master Xiao coldly. "Do you want me to stop it?"
What she meant was that the duel was fake and should be declared invalid.
However, Deputy Region Master Xiao's expression was calm, as if he had long been prepared for this. He smiled faintly and said, "Palace Master Mo, we made it very clear. The competition is to see who can cause more essence wood to resonate.
"We have a broader and deeper understanding of the Mu words! We didn't say that one must resonate with Mu words. That was only part of it. "
Hearing this, everyone was furious.
"The dignified Heavenly Knife Region is playing with words. Don't you think it's shameless?" Master Ghost scolded sternly.
They had thought it was a duel of Mu words, but the Heavenly Knife Region had changed the concept to a duel of resonating with essence wood memories.
The two were worlds apart.
"What? The dignified Red Blood Palace can't afford to lose?" Deputy Region Master Xiao said. "Firstly, I didn't cheat, and secondly, I didn't deceive you! You didn't hear the rules clearly, and you blame us? Also!
Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughing stock? "
The crowd was enraged, and they were filled with righteous indignation.
Mo Tianxuan waved her hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
Her expression was no better than the elders', and there was a cold gleam in the depths of her eyes.
If she went back on her words and declared the duel invalid, the Red Blood Palace's reputation would be gone.
If she didn't go back on her words and admitted defeat, the Red Blood Palace would lose all face.
No matter what the outcome was, the Red Blood Palace would lose the duel and the people. The consequences were very serious.
If they were to compare rationally, the latter was more rational than the former.
Lost face could be regained, and lost shops could be snatched again.
If they lost their reputation, the Red Blood Palace would have difficulty moving forward, and their influence in the Blessed and Heavenly Lands would plummet. The loss was not something that could be compared to losing five hundred shops.
Therefore, if she had to choose, Mo Tianxuan would choose the latter and admit defeat.
Understanding the Palace Master's decision, the elders were furious.
"Shameless!" The elders were furious, but also sorrowful. A moment of carelessness had resulted in such a heavy loss.
Deputy Region Master Xiao smiled faintly. "Haha, calm down, everyone. As the saying goes, a fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. After suffering a small loss this time, you can avoid suffering a big loss in the future. Why not?"
Hearing his gloating words, the crowd was even more furious.
However, the more furious they were, the more mockery and contempt in Deputy Region Master Xiao's eyes became.
"Deputy Region Master Xiao, what you mean is, as long as the essence wood can resonate, any means will do, right?" Su Yu asked.
Deputy Region Master Xiao thought for a moment, then said cautiously, "Only using your memory to trigger the resonance. Any other means will be considered a violation of the rules."
Su Yu nodded lightly. "Fine, if that's the case, I'll continue. I hope you won't regret it too much."
In terms of Mu related memories, Su Yu had the distant memories of the Desolate Evil Jungle and the Tree Goddess.
More recently, he had the Book of First Heavens, which had primitive Mu words on it. It was the beginning of Mu words.
Both of these memories were extremely strong memories for the Mu people. It was hard to predict how strong the resonance would be.
Deputy Region Master Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Staring at Su Yu's calm face, he had a bad feeling.
Su Yu placed his hands on the essence wood again and said calmly, "Continue."
