Originally, the Golden Thread Nether Snake that was at its peak was not prepared for this level. Instead, it was prepared for a Golden Thread Nether Snake that was equivalent to an intermediate Aurous Core stage practitioner. This kind of Golden Thread Nether Snake was not fully grown yet, and its strength was much lower. It was suitable for Aurous Core stage practitioners to train.
However, because the person challenging the level was Xia Ruofei, the green-robed old man temporarily increased the difficulty.
Of course, because Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue were challenging the level together, according to the previous rules, the difficulty of the task would increase and the number of participants would be doubled. Therefore, the difficulty of this task did not exceed Xia Ruofei's expectations.
The green-robed old man really valued talent, so he focused on observing Xia Ruofei's situation — in front of him, there was only one mirror that could be used to check the situation in the Training Pagoda. After watching Xia Ruofei, he naturally could not see the performance of the others.
Even so, the green-robed old man did not have the slightest intention of "changing the channel". He did not pay attention to Chen Xuan and the others who were also challenging the level at the same time. All his attention was placed on Xia Ruofei.
However, the green-robed old man only had a trace of appreciation for Xia Ruofei. If Xia Ruofei was really in danger during the trial, he would not help him. The trial itself was a selection process. If one could not even pass the trial, then even if one survived, it would be useless.
The world of cultivation had always been cruel to the extreme.
This green-robed old man had encountered countless outstanding juniors in his long life of cultivation. However, most of them were lost in the long river of history. Therefore, he would not give Xia Ruofei special treatment just because of his outstanding performance.
When Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue encountered the Golden Thread Nether Snake, the green-robed old man originally thought that Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue were dead for sure. He did not expect that Xia Ruofei would still be so clear-headed in such a desperate situation. In a situation where there seemed to be no way out, he found a chance to survive.
The green-robed old man could not help but mutter to himself, "This little guy looks really good! Should I … "
Halfway through his sentence, the green-robed old man quickly shook his head and said, "If he can't even pass such a test, then he will not be able to survive in the future. Return to that hopeless place to struggle at death's door? What's the point of that? "
After muttering to himself for a while, the green-robed old man made up his mind and decided to wait and see what would happen.
The Spirit Map Scroll was still tumbling upwards. Due to gravity, its speed naturally became slower and slower. After the Golden Thread Nether Snake reacted, it quickly chased along the cliff. Its speed became faster and faster.
Although the two humans had disappeared into thin air, the Golden Thread Nether Snake was still in hot pursuit of the scroll that suddenly appeared.
The distance between it and the Spirit Map Scroll became smaller and smaller.
At that moment, Xia Ruofei, who was in the Ring-Tu space's Primordial Realm time formation, was paying close attention to the situation outside as he racked his brains for a solution. Almost an hour had passed in the time formation, but he still had not come up with a good solution.
The moment he left the Ring-Tu space, there would be a poisonous fog outside. Although he could once again conjure a Yuan Qi barrier, his speed was much slower than the Golden Thread Nether Snake. The cliff was at least three to four hundred meters high. There was no way he could escape to the top of the mountain.
Furthermore, even if he escaped to the top of the mountain, he still wouldn't be the Golden Thread Nether Snake's match if he didn't make any preparations beforehand.
The top of the mountain was only about three kilometers in radius. There were cliffs on all sides, and the bottom was filled with poisonous fog. Therefore, there was no way to escape.
Xia Ruofei couldn't even repeat his previous actions. Just now, he had thrown the Spirit Map Scroll with all his might before the Golden Thread Nether Snake could react. This allowed him to make use of the time difference. Now, the Golden Thread Nether Snake had its eyes on the Spirit Map Scroll and its speed had increased. If Xia Ruofei were to leave the Ring-Tu space and grab the scroll to continue throwing it upwards, it would take at least two to three seconds. That was enough time for the Golden Thread Nether Snake to close in or even catch up to him. When that happened, it would be even more dangerous.
Xia Ruofei racked his brains but couldn't think of a good solution. The main reason was that he hadn't found the Golden Thread Nether Snake's weakness, so he had no idea where to start.
Furthermore, the most important thing now was to escape. From the looks of it, escaping was very difficult. The Golden Thread Nether Snake seemed to have its eyes on the Spirit Map Scroll and had no intention of giving up.
Could it be that I can only hope that the Spirit Map Scroll has enough defensive strength to render the Golden Thread Nether Snake helpless? Xia Ruofei thought to himself.
But even so, Xia Ruofei was still in a very passive position. Furthermore, what happened next was out of his control.
Although Xia Ruofei was in a time array, the time flow was about two thousand times faster than the outside world after stacking it with an Archean realm time array. He had plenty of time, but he couldn't think of a good solution no matter how much time he racked his brains. It was useless no matter how much time he had!
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Xia Ruofei's mind. "Daoist Xia, you don't seem to be in a good situation …"
Xia Ruofei was first taken aback before he reacted. It was Patron Yuntai's voice.
His first reaction was to teleport the mysterious ore into the time array he was in.
Patron Yuntai was in a spiritual body state. He should have quickly dissipated with the passage of time, but because of Xia Ruofei's mysterious ore, Patron Yuntai's spiritual body could survive for a long period of time. It was also because of this that Patron Yuntai stayed in the mysterious ore's space all this time. Furthermore, he spent most of his time in seclusion, strengthening his spiritual body bit by bit.
During this period, Patron Yuntai had a few brief moments of lucidity, but the time was very short. Xia Ruofei never had the chance to have an in-depth conversation with him.
The situation was urgent. Patron Yuntai was a senior expert after all. He was much more experienced than Xia Ruofei. Perhaps he could be of help.
The mysterious ore had always been in the cave in the Mountain Sea Realm. However, Xia Ruofei was the ruler of the Ring-Tu space. With a thought, he could teleport the ore over.
"Senior Yuntai!" Xia Ruofei's voice was filled with joy.
If there was any way to turn the situation around, it would be with Patron Yuntai.
Yuntai Hermit said with surprise, "Your time formation is quite interesting! The effects of two layers of nesting can actually be stacked, creating a time flow difference of 2,000 times. Impressive! "
Patron Yuntai was indeed very experienced. Although his spiritual body was in the mysterious ore space, he only needed to send out a sliver of his mental power to accurately determine the time difference where he was.
Xia Ruofei obviously wasn't in the mood to talk about time arrays. He said anxiously, "Senior Yuntai, you can see the situation now. It's quite dangerous … Do you have any good ideas?"
Yuntai Scholar also knew that the situation was dangerous, but because of the time formation, it wasn't too urgent. So, he slowly smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, it should be the Gold Thread Abyssal Snake chasing you, right?"
As soon as Patron Yuntai said this, Xia Ruofei was overjoyed. It was good that this old man could recognize the Golden Thread Nether Snake. Perhaps he could find a way to deal with it.
Xia Ruofei quickly said, "Yes! Senior Yuntai, you know about the Golden Thread Nether Snake? What's its weakness? "
Patron Yuntai said with a smile, "Speaking of which … The Golden Thread Nether Snake should have been extinct a long time ago! When I first stepped onto the path of cultivation, I saw an elder in my sect catch one, and it was a baby Golden Thread Nether Snake. I remember that elder said that Golden Thread Nether Snakes were very rare, almost extinct. And the one chasing us now is obviously an adult! Where is this place? Why is there such a huge Golden Thread Nether Snake? "
Although Xia Ruofei was anxious, he still said patiently, "Senior Yuntai, this is a trial space!"
Following that, Xia Ruofei briefly recounted how they had split up and entered the Arcane Realm after arriving on the moon, and how he had entered the Tower of Trials. Of course, he skipped over the details of how he and Ling Qingxue were teleported together, as well as the details of the Tower of Trials.
Patron Yuntai said with interest, "I didn't know the Rising Dragon Token had such a wonderful use! This Arcane Realm is really on the moon far away! "
"Senior Yuntai, the Golden Thread Nether Snake will catch up with us soon. Please give me some advice on how to deal with it!" Xia Ruofei said.
Although there was a time difference of two thousand times, the Golden Thread Nether Snake's speed was still very fast. Xia Ruofei roughly estimated that the Golden Thread Nether Snake would be able to catch up to the Spiritual Map Scroll in about an hour, which was two or three seconds in the outside world. If he could not think of a countermeasure before this time, then everything would be out of control.
Patron Yuntai said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xia, in our time, the Golden Thread Nether Snake was rare, but its strength was average. Under normal circumstances, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could easily deal with it …"
Xia Ruofei could not help but be speechless. The Nascent Soul Stage was still very far away for him, but in the eyes of Patron Yuntai, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was not even worth mentioning. Therefore, he felt that the Golden Thread Nether Snake was not difficult to deal with.
Xia Ruofei said with a bitter smile, "If I had a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, I wouldn't have to run away so pathetically …"
Patron Yuntai laughed and said, "The Nascent Soul Stage is not difficult, but there is no way to increase your cultivation in a short time. You are only in the Nascent Soul Stage now. It will not be easy to deal with the Golden Thread Nether Snake. "
Speaking of this, Patron Yuntai paused for a moment, probably recalling the characteristics of the Golden Thread Nether Snake.
He pondered for a moment and said, "The weakness of all snakes is their seven inches. To deal with the Golden Thread Nether Snake, you have to find its seven inches."
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment and said, "But this snake is much bigger than the python, and its strength is comparable to a cultivator at the peak of the late Golden Elixir realm. It doesn't seem easy to attack such a big snake."
Patron Yuntai laughed and said, "The Golden Thread Nether Snake's seven inches is not on its body!"
"Ah?" Xia Ruofei was confused. "Its seven inches is not on its body? What … what do you mean? "
Patron Yuntai laughed and said, "Indeed, it is not on its body, but on its head! Did you notice that the Golden Thread Nether Snake has three golden lines on its head? They are about an inch long … "
"I saw that already," Xia Ruofei said.
"If you look carefully, you will discover that the three golden lines on the Golden Thread Nether Snake's head are actually the image of three snakes," said Layman Yuntai.
Xia Ruofei quickly used his mental power to check. Because of the two-thousandfold difference in time, everything outside was motionless and moving extremely slowly. Xia Ruofei easily found the three golden lines. After a careful examination, Xia Ruofei said, "Senior Yuntai, you are very accurate. The three golden lines are really in the shape of three small snakes."
Yuntai smiled and said: "Thus, the weakness of the Gold Thread Nether Serpent isn't its seven inches, it's the seven inches of the serpent's body where the three little golden snakes are! Attacking the weak points of the three little golden snakes should yield a good result! "
Hearing this, Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "If Senior Yuntai didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have thought that this beast's Achilles heel was on the top of its head. Logically speaking, the head should be the easiest to attack. How did it survive the natural selection process? Such a big weakness and yet it didn't evolve … "
Patron Yuntai smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, I learned this from the seniors in my sect. I have never personally fought against the Golden Thread Nether Snake, so I can't guarantee that this weakness is accurate."
Then, Patron Yuntai said, "By the way, as far as I know, the Golden Thread Nether Snake's ability to sense space is extremely weak. Your understanding of space law is even higher than some Nascent Soul cultivators. You can try to use this characteristic of the Golden Thread Nether Snake to give it a fatal blow!"
"Space law?" Xia Ruofei murmured thoughtfully. Then, his eyes lit up and he said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Yuntai! I have benefited greatly! "
Since space law was the most effective way to attack, Xia Ruofei simply recalled all the space formations he knew.
The Law of Space was a relatively high-end Law. Xia Ruofei's talent in array dao was relatively high, and his understanding of space was also amazing. He had been trapped in the mysterious ore for thousands of years, and during this long period of time, he had been studying the Law of Space. In this aspect, he was an absolute expert.
Using space law to set up a formation was even more advanced.
After all, it was very difficult to master space law. Using space law to set up a formation was even more difficult.
Space law formation was more powerful than ordinary maze and trap formations. Most of them were embedded in multiple spaces. If one used ordinary methods to break the formation, as long as one was strong enough, it was possible to break through a trap or maze formation with brute force. However, space rule arrays were different. Even if one had the strength, there was no place to use it. Even if one could shatter space with brute force, a powerful space formation could embed countless space cages. Even if an ordinary Aurous Core Stage or Nascent Soul Stage cultivator died of exhaustion, it was impossible for them to break through so many nested spaces with brute force.
Xia Ruofei's expression relaxed as he thought about it.
