There were three large platforms in Boyu City, and they were respectively the Rising Balcony, the Moon Building Platform, and the Star Gazing Platform. All of them were constructed to the point that they were lofty like mountains, and if one stood at the top of the platforms, one would be able to have a complete view of the entire city. Net
On the three platforms, there were three star essences from beyond the heavens. It was said that by worshiping them, one could communicate with the sun, moon, and stars.
These three places were originally under the command of the High Priest Gong Xiao, Gong Chang and Gong Ta. Later on, the two of them broke through the boundary and left. The Rising Sun and Building Moon Platforms respectively selected their clansmen to take over their positions. Now, these three places are under the control of the Sacrificial Moon Gong Xian Zao and the Sacrificial Sun Gong Xuan Ao.
As for the Star Viewing Platform, after Gongta's death, the hundred countries of Eastern Wasteland split, and the star essence on this platform was also lost. Thus, for thousands of years, there was no Star Priest Xian Zao, but this was one of the three platforms after all, so Mystic cultivators were sent to guard it. Later on, it gradually became a place to practice martial arts.
Today, on the Star Viewing Platform, Gong Xian Zao stood on a high place with a few clan elders. He was scrutinizing the twenty disciples in front of him who were full of heroic Qi.
These disciples were carefully selected from the clan and sent here, ready to be sent to various forces to compete after ten years. From the age of ten, these people were sent to fight with demons and other races, and were only allowed to return to the clan when they cultivated to the Spiritual Image state. Not to mention their experience, in the Gong clan, they could be said to be the group of people with the highest combat ability, except for a few Great Mystic cultivators.
At this moment, one person attracted his attention. Most of the people present wanted to release their Qi and blood to show their strength, but this clansman didn't show any signs of abnormality, which made him even more special. No matter whether this person was really capable or not, at least his wisdom was better than his peers.
He asked, "Who is that?"
A clan elder looked at him and said, "Reporting to Moon Priest, he is Gong Dan, the descendant of Gongta Great Priest's 19th son. He is 398 years old. He is quite accomplished in the Qi and blood pattern, and has been in the Spiritual Image state for a hundred years. "
Gong Xian Zao frowned. Nearly 400 years old. His cultivation time was still too short. Even if he was outstanding in some aspects, it was still too short. Even if he was outstanding, it would be difficult to make up for his lack of Qi and blood. But considering that he was a Mystic Master, if he could make good use of the Qi and blood pattern, he could often increase his combat ability. Gong Xian Zao decided to give him a chance. “
The Sect Elder immediately came out and said, "Gong Dan, come up the stage. “
Under the envious gazes of his clansmen, Gong Dan stepped onto the stage. However, his expression was calm, and he clasped his hands together in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. "Gong Dan pays his respects to Moon Sacrifice."
Gongxi Zao was quite satisfied with his composure and said, "This time, I have chosen you to come out to fight with the experts from all over the world. Ask yourself, how can you compare to them?"
Gongshan said, "I have my own reliance, but I haven't fought with my fellow Daoists of the nine continents, so I don't dare to talk nonsense. “
Gong Xi Zao replied indifferently, "Then how can I trust you?"
Gong Dan, however, looked straight at him and said, "Sacrificial Moon can give it a try."
Seeing that he was so confident, Gongxi Zao was somewhat expectant and said, "Alright." He turned his head and said to a Daoist beside him, "Daoist Di. Sorry to trouble you. "
Daoist Di cupped his hands and said, "Yue Ji is too polite. I have received a lot of kindness from your Eastern Wilderness. There's no need to trouble me. "
Back then, not only were there disciples from various sects, there were also many itinerant cultivators who came to the Mountain and Sea Realm. Many of these people were lured by the benefits and sought refuge with the Hundred Nations of the Eastern Wilderness. The ministers of the various nations didn't look down on them because they didn't have a high cultivation base. Instead, they treated them as esteemed guests.
For example, Daoist Di was originally a Core Formation Cultivator. However, after he became a consecrator of the Eastern Wilderness Sacred Nation, he became a Core Formation Cultivator. After he became a minister of the Eastern Wilderness, the Gong clan didn't hesitate to use a large amount of external medicine to push him into the Yuanying Realm. Furthermore, they managed to exchange for Dharma treasures and medicinal pills for him, so he was very grateful to the Eastern Wilderness. He was willing to serve them for the rest of his life.
He walked down the stage and smiled amiably at Gong Dan, saying, "I will use my Dharma treasure in a moment. Daoist, please be careful."
Gong Dan's expression turned serious. He put his hands together and bowed, saying, "Enlightened Master, please make your move."
Daoist Di immediately made a hand seal, and a sparkling jade bracelet flew out of his body and landed on Gong Dan. However, Gong Dan did not dodge it. He only swelled his Qi and blood, and threads of blood threads floated outside his body. They were like a thick net that enveloped his entire body. When the Dharma treasure landed and came into contact with it, a collision sound was heard. Gong Dan was actually blocked outside.
Daoist Di wasn't surprised. The Mystic cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness were also people who were good at learning and adapting. Previously, they had never encountered Daoist cultivators, so they were at a disadvantage in almost every aspect. However, after understanding the Daoist techniques of Daoist cultivators, they had figured out many ways to counter them. The situation before him was extremely common nowadays.
However, he was only using this to see how much this Gong family disciple could endure, so as to avoid accidentally injuring him. Now that he saw that he was indeed capable, he put away the jade bracelet into his sleeve, took out a golden hammer, and flicked it lightly.
In that instant, Gong Dan only saw a flash of golden light in front of him. Before he could react, he felt as if he had been hit by a mountain. All the tendons and bones in his body felt like they were about to break, and his entire body started to tremble. He retreated more than ten steps, but in the end, he didn't fall. Instead, he held on.
Daoist Di put away the golden hammer and praised, "Not bad."
Gongxi Zao looked surprised. He knew that the golden hammer was a profound artifact, but Gong Dan was actually able to block it head-on with his Qi and blood pattern. Furthermore, he didn't seem to be injured. This was not simple at all.
He asked, "What kind of pattern did you use?"
Gong Dan said, "It's the Sturdy Gold Pattern that is commonly used in the Hundred Nations."
Gongxi Zao asked again, "An ordinary Sturdy Gold Pattern can't block a profound artifact. As a Xuan Master, did you make any changes to this pattern?"
The method of Qi and blood pattern had been passed down for close to ten thousand years. Until now, there were already more than a thousand kinds of patterns on the surface. However, there were also many secret patterns that were passed down in secret. They were all in the hands of the ministers of the various nations, and they were never passed down to outsiders. However, there were no less than a number of Xuan Masters who were deeply immersed in this Dao who would make some minor changes to make it more suitable for themselves.
Gong Dan's body shook, and a layer of skin came off his body. He said, "I didn't make any changes. I just wore two layers of skin with the Sturdy Gold Pattern on my body."
"Two layers?" After Gongxi Zao heard this, his expression was startled. Then, there was a hint of excitement. He reached out and grabbed the skin. After looking at it carefully, he raised his head and asked, "What kind of skin is this?"
Gong Dan replied, "This is the skin of a foreign species from the Western Wastelands. It's called 'Gray Ghost'. It lives underground for a long time and is somewhat similar to the people of the Hundred Nations. It has a pair of wings under its armpits and is extremely vicious. A few days ago, I bought over a hundred of them from the slave market. Unexpectedly, I discovered that the skin on the two wings of this race can not only allow me to draw the Qi and blood pattern, but can also display more than eighty percent of its original function."
Because the effect of the Qi and blood pattern was directly related to the size of the pattern, one person could only draw three to five types at most in order to truly display its power. It was impossible to draw more than that. Therefore, many people thought of ways to add another layer of pattern on the outside. However, most of the skins of demons and foreign species were not compatible with the human body, and the effect was often less than one percent.
As for using the skin of the same race, it was not that no one had tried before. However, usually, only those who cultivated the Way of Qi and blood, and whose cultivation was similar, would be able to display the greatest effect. However, in this way, it was very likely to cause the same race to kill each other. Therefore, the Hundred Nations soon banned it.
For thousands of years, the Hundred Nations of the Eastern Wastelands had always wanted to find a suitable substitute from the bodies of demons and foreign species. However, in the past, the territory was too small, and the source of the living creatures' skin was limited. There had never been any progress. Gongxi Zao would never have thought that today, he would see a suitable type of skin. He stroked it and asked, "Just now, you said that you have two layers of this skin on your body. What about more than two layers?"
Gongxi Zao replied, "My cultivation is still shallow. If I put on too much skin, the power of Qi and blood won't be enough to activate the patterns on it. Now, two layers is already the limit. Three layers will instead obstruct the flow of Qi and blood. However, if it's a clansman who has accumulated a lot of Qi and blood, three or four layers won't be a problem. It's just that the more layers there are, the less effective it will be. Instead, it will weaken one's body.
From the looks of it, six layers should be the upper limit. "A smile appeared on Gongxi Zao's face. He originally wanted to select a group of talents, but he didn't expect to receive such a pleasant surprise. If it was really as Gongxi Zao said, then the battle prowess of everyone here would increase by more than a few levels. He said," Gongxi Zao, then you've made a great contribution. If what you said is true, I'll personally go and ask for a reward for you. " “
Gongxi Zao bowed and said, "Thank you, Moon Sacrifice."
Gongxi Zao sighed in his heart and said, "Who would have thought that the skin of foreign species suitable for carving patterns would actually be in the Western Wastelands. If it wasn't for the unification of the four regions, how would it be possible to find it? It seems like what Fellow Daoist Jiuzhou said is true. No matter what kind of cultivation method, only by finding more external objects to make up for the deficiencies can it truly be carried forward. If this object had been discovered earlier, the situation in the Eastern Wastelands would definitely be very different. "
Just as he was pondering, he suddenly thought of another matter. He raised his head and asked, "Immortal Di, in your opinion, if a cultivator from a major sect were to make such an attack, would he be able to break this three-layer Qi and blood pattern?"
Daoist Di cupped his hands and replied, "I'm a Rogue Cultivator, so this is the best I can do. However, those disciples from the major sects have magic power, divine ability, and even magic treasures that far surpass me. I can't break it, but it doesn't mean that they can't. “
As he said this, he saw that the disciples of the Gong family were slightly disappointed, but he smiled and said, "But there's one thing. Just Now, I and this fellow Daoist Gongdan are only a few dozen feet apart, and he didn't dodge at all. Yet, the pattern on his body can still bear it and defend very well. If they were to really fight, they would be at least 300 feet away, but it still wouldn't be so easy to break it. Moreover, in I's opinion, Just Now, this pattern is just for ordinary use. If it were a secret technique from each clan, it would be different."
When everyone heard this, they all knew that it was a spirit formation. Although Gongdan was a mystic master, his cultivation was still shallow. If a grandmaster from the palace could be invited to carve the pattern, he would definitely be able to defeat him.
All the people of the Gong family almost instantly made up their minds. They had to find more grey ghosts and try to keep them in captivity so that they could harvest the skin of the two wings. If necessary, they could also try to mix the blood of the grey ghosts with other clans to see if they could obtain a more compatible skin for their own use.
