"Huh? Your abilities do have some feeling of legendary destiny, but unfortunately they are too incomplete. Is it because of this tree?"
Milo looked back at the old man. The falling wind quickly dissipated, and the surrounding vitality came to a standstill. The elements naturally reversed and returned to their original posture. All the magicians fell down and were easily surrendered by Sister Wu.
He ignored their Milo and stared at the apple tree in front of him. The shadow of a precious mirror appeared in the child's hole.
However, among the magicians who became prisoners, there were also some pure seekers of knowledge. After hearing the word legendary destiny, they regardless of their own safety, struggled and shouted: "What is legend..."
Wu Jie, who didn't want the other party to disturb Milo, had colorful colors appear in her eyes, depriving him of the right to speak.
Milo's fingers gently traced the main trunk of the apple tree, and runes emerged one after another, forming a huge magic formation. The strange magic lines revealed protection, world, isolation, magic, hope and soul, etc. and other information.
"What a wonderful structure. I didn't expect to see such a delicate formation outside of Middle-earth."
Sister Wu couldn't help but marvel. She had seen a lot of things during this time, but none of them were as good as the apple tree in front of her.
"Don't look at it. This thing looks a bit mysterious, but it's actually not a complete Noble Phantasm."
"Noble Phantasm?" Sister Wu was also stunned for a moment, and Milo explained softly.
"The so-called Noble Phantasm and Legendary Destiny are actually the same thing. Besides Hanxia, there are other countries. They practice according to another set of promotion paths. The lowest is formal, the above is model, and the higher is legend and saint. , the highest is the true God.”
"A formal person is a monk who has mastered basic professional skills and learned some basic extraordinary abilities; a model is a monk who has mastered the basic extraordinary abilities and high-end extraordinary abilities of the profession, deeply explored the profession, built his own path, and can serve as a banner for future generations."
"Legendary is to fully master the mid-to-low-end abilities of the corresponding profession, master part of the essence of the profession, and be able to stabilize it, and combine it with one's own experience and legends to condense one's own field, legendary destiny and noble phantoms. Simply put, noble phantoms and Legendary destiny is somewhat similar to a monk's natal magical power or natal magic weapon, but the way of refining it is more special, requiring specific regional beliefs and time accumulation. Speaking of which, the treasure phantom in front of you also has something to do with you."
Hearing this, Sister Wu was surprised and said, "Is this thing also left behind by Dao Tianji?"
"It can't be said that he stayed, but he did transform the apple tree and improve the operation system. At the same time, he also hid the last step, making this thing become stuck in the operation of the laws of heaven and earth. A stone that repairs itself.”
"Stones?"
The old man who had been defeated by Milo's look before coughed and asked, "Can I ask why it is a stone?"
"If the world is regarded as a huge machine, then all the principles of Tao and Dharma that operate normally are parts running in the machine, and those principles of Tao and Principles that are not coordinated with the interior of the world are just pebbles that fall into the machine? "
Having said this, Milo looked at the old man and said softly: "Actually, you are aware of it, right? Outside the shelter of this apple tree, your magic power will be suppressed to a certain extent, and your practice speed will be slower. An existence at your level cannot even leave its protection."
All the magicians on the side looked at the old man, and saw that he was a little lonely and said: "You are right, after I unified the magic world, my power reached its peak. I thought I was expected to become the new generation of magic god, but The reality gave me a wake-up call.”
When describing, the old man specially used some idioms from Middle-earth, which made Sister Wu's expression relax slightly. Milo smiled and said: "You found that after you left this land, the magic power in your body began to drain, and the whole world began to lose its power. Repelling you, right? Secondly, you should also find that under the apple tree, your power will be further improved, and the more magicians there are, the stronger your power will be."
"Your eyes are brighter than Athena's."
The old man's praise did not make Milo express the slightest emotion. He also saw that Milo's character was firmer than he thought. He no longer used an exaggerated tone, but stared at the apple tree and said: "As you said, I stayed under that tree for three days, and successfully connected with her, gaining stronger strength and the possibility of going further. I always thought that my path was correct, but now it seems that my approach , did it just make the stone bigger?"
"Teacher!" A magician behind the old man spoke and retorted: "Don't be bewitched by the other party."
"No! Bert, I know my situation very well, and I also know that the world rejects us. The existence of the magic world has never been to protect ordinary people, but to protect us!"
After saying that, the old man struggled to get up again. He forcibly broke away from Sister Wu's ability. Covered in blood, he respectfully performed a magician's noble etiquette on Milo. He lowered his head and said, "Please show mercy to me." I, this old thing that is about to decay, tell me the truth of the matter? What did the so-called Dao Tianji do back then? What is the nature of this sacred tree?"
Milo fell silent, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Have you heard of the legend of Avalon?"
"Of course I've heard of it. It's the legendary ancient Utopia, a God-blessed island far away from the world, and the final destination for our souls."
The old man was knowledgeable and quickly gave the answer. Milo asked again: "Then do you still remember the other name of Avalon?"
"Another name? God's Blessed Island, Blessed Island...Apple Island..."
The old man originally answered Milo's question very calmly, but as he was talking, he suddenly came to his senses, looked at the golden apple tree, and said in surprise: "Is this Avalon?"
"It can be said to be Avalon, or it can be said not to be Avalon."
Milo's convoluted answer made many magicians frown, but the old man quickly reacted: "Noble Phantasm?"
"Yes! What Dao Tianji did was to rely on this special apple tree, combined with your Avalon myth, to extract its concept of Apple Island, and then strengthen this concept, gradually occupying all Avalon concepts, and finally It turns into an ideal land that shelters magicians.”
Milo said, also stimulating the apple tree to reveal its essence, pointing to several special runes, and said: "Look, this is extraction, this is sublimation, this is occupation, this is Apple Island..."
Everyone was stunned as they looked at the concepts pointed out by Milo, and the old man even showed an excited expression.
"Can the Noble Phantasm still do this?"
Milo continued to stimulate the upper lines of the apple tree, and continued to explain: "The saints above the legend, outside of Hanxia, are also called demigods. Part of the authority and domain they control is based on their legend. Destiny and Noble Phantasms are sublimated. Therefore, whether it is a Noble Phantasm or a legendary Destiny, many times there is no specific entity, but a collection of certain concepts."
When the last magic pattern appeared, Milo traced downwards along the pattern, modifying and integrating it.
The old man could feel his power passing away, and he could also feel the apple tree changing. He had a guess, but he didn't dare to think about it. He was a little surprised, but also a little hopeful: "What are you?"
"I am completing the remaining parts of it and turning it into a complete treasure. Speaking of which, although what Dao Tianji did is not authentic, this tree has protected you for decades, and it is here in this world. After decades of growth under the oppression of others, the concepts, power and foundation have accumulated to a very strong level. With a little bit of supplementation, it can be turned into a top-notch treasure. It is still relatively rare and has world-class protection. A Noble Phantasm of Ability." Milo didn't mean to hide it, and the apple tree also disappeared and appeared as he continued to modify it.
All the magicians present could feel their magic power changing with the changes of the apple tree.
The old man, who was already covered in blood and had a deep connection with the apple tree, had skin cracked all over his body, and blood continued to flow out, dyeing it red along the river.
But the old man didn't care. His vast mental power forced him to maintain his standing posture. He looked at Milo and said, "Can I ask what you plan to do with us?"
"Although you did something to me before, it was just to protect your homeland, so I won't do anything against you. But sorting out the laws and principles and integrating the earth's vitality is an imperative thing, and I will not stop responding. The footsteps will not give you preferential treatment, so you will most likely die because of your connection with this tree and your body will be directly twisted during its transformation process."
Hearing this, the old man didn't care and continued to ask: "Is it just us?"
"Other magicians will depend on how close they are to this tree. Due to decades of protection, there should be no magician who has not been contaminated by its breath, so those below should be affected. Of course, The younger you are, the more illusory and unstable the magic power is, and the easier it is to transform the foundation. Those under the age of fifteen should not suffer any pain except simple muscle soreness, but those over the age of eighteen and whose magic power is stable may not necessarily suffer. They can all be transformed completely, and there will inevitably be some impact.”
Milo's answer made the old man smile with satisfaction. He looked back at the other colleagues who were also covered in blood, raised the short staff in his hand, and said softly: "You guys also heard it. The magic world is now facing a crisis. At this critical moment, in order to pass on magic better, I think we old immortals need to make some sacrifices."
"And if you want to make a sacrifice, you are the only one..." A magician cursed angrily, and in the next second black energy appeared on his body, and he wanted to escape into the distance, but as soon as he flew up, a ray of light fell down and took away his soul,
He held up the short staff in his hand and waved it gently. A faint light appeared on the tip of the staff that had previously released brilliance. He held the other party's body and landed next to the old man. He said indifferently: "Mr. John is really a compassionate person." You have made a great choice, what are you thinking about next?"
When he said this, the blood on the old man's body was still flowing out, but his magic and spiritual power were at an extremely high level.
Several magicians who fell on the ground looked at each other, and finally one of them spoke: "We hope to preserve our souls so that we can return."
"Oh! That's natural, Mr. Moody. I would not choose to use such dangerous magic unless necessary."
As he spoke, the short staff in his hand released another stream of light, killing the magicians who were traveling with him one by one, gathering their corpses around him, and then stared in Milo's direction.
At this moment, the changes in the apple tree no longer distorted the old man's skin, but distorted the corpse around him even more. At the same time, Milo noticed that the other party used his last bit of authority to help share the pain below, so the magician should bear it. pain.
Sister Wu couldn't stand these methods. As his incarnation, she could sense the old man's inner changes and understand his determination. She couldn't help but persuade him: "You can only do harm to others." Got them."
Sister Wu said, revealing in front of the old man the situation of some magicians who were being tortured.
"You seem to have taken unnecessary risks for them, but in fact it has affected their opportunities. Did you see that as the distortion progresses, the magic power in their bodies has also been transformed, and they have become more suitable for this world? Now. If you help them bear the burden now, how will they survive in the new world if they lose the external magic power supply in the future?"
Facing Sister Wu's words, the old man just showed a faint smile and pointed at a figure that Sister Wu had manifested.
At this time, the man's magic power and vitality were in fierce conflict, and it was already exhausting his efforts to maintain stability. If the intensity of the distortion was increased at this time, he would undoubtedly die without any intention.
Sister Wu understood what the old man was thinking, and he knew that what he did might not be suitable for the future of the magic world.
But as the largest supernatural power system in the West, if the magic world suddenly loses multiple guarantees, even if there are some children who are successfully transformed, they will just become test subjects on some people's test benches.
But it is better to protect some adult magicians as much as possible like now, so that they can continue to protect the magician clan.
"Why!"
Sister Wu sighed and said no more. The old man's actions also stimulated the incomplete legendary destiny in his body. Magic lines appeared around him, blended into the corpse, entangled with the apple tree, and twisted the magic power. At the same time, the magician was also given a certain amount of help and treatment.
The most important thing is that when the old man sacrificed himself, he also consciously or unconsciously sacrificed his own power to the apple tree and to Milo.
Unexpectedly, Milo heard the other party's prayer, hoping that he and the apple tree could ensure that the remaining people in the magic world could survive the coming changes and pass on them for a long time.
"Instead of praying for me, it is better to leave blessings to future generations."
Milo did not accept the other party's irregular prayer and concentrated on modifying the magic pattern on the apple tree.
The leaves made of gemstones began to melt, and the apples made of gold also softened. The two blended together and turned into a colorful liquid, flowing into the silver-white branches, constantly swallowing up the leaves that looked like crystals, and finally returned. onto a trunk made of brass.
The main trunk gradually shrinks, and gradually develops a slightly earthy color, and a little emerald green.
The green expanded and gradually turned into a substantial branch. The branches and leaves were intertwined and gradually solidified, turning into a wooden structure with a strange scabbard covered with branches and leaves.
Many liquids that were previously integrated into the brass trunk gradually seeped out from the gaps in the lines. Gold outlined the lines, silver formed the decoration, and crystals and gemstones were embellished on it, making the entire scabbard look full of luxury and sacredness.
But at the moment when the apple tree was completely transformed, Milo felt a very weak spirituality emerging from the apple tree. The moment it emerged, it flew out from it.
Milo wanted to stop it, but it exuded determination and rejection.
The spirituality stood in the void, snatching the power of the treasure phantom formed in Milo's hand, deriving countless dust, manifesting into a thick fog, covering the entire island, and hiding the magic world in the void again.
After doing all this, the spirit shook slightly and collapsed.
It was also at this time that the corpses of the previous magicians were completely twisted into fragments that filled the sky. The old man himself also turned into flames, which gradually dissipated under the remaining twisting power.
But before dying, he bowed in the direction of spirituality and Milo.
"What was that before?"
Sister Wu came forward to ask, Milo recalled the precious phantom in his hand, and said with emotion: "As for the spirituality of the apple tree, I kind of underestimated Dao Tianji. I thought he just created a stone, but I didn't expect his fundamental thoughts. It is to introduce a second practice system in such a world, completely collapsing the existing order, and making it impossible for everyone to ascend."
"Why do you say that?"
"Let me explain it this way. The laws and principles of this world have reached their limit. There is an opportunity to go one step further and advance to half a level to support some monks who have just entered the Dharma Realm. In this case, you have the opportunity to stabilize the foundation and make breakthroughs on your own. Enter the land of Hanxia. But the existence of this precious phantom is like a stone stuck in a machine. It consumes part of the energy required for the operation of the machine every moment, making it impossible for the world to gather strength and advance and transform."
"This is just a Noble Phantasm, but Dao Tianji has left a weak spiritual foundation, giving it the possibility of developing spiritual wisdom. Of course, you can also directly understand that Dao Tianji used some special means to make Apple The tree has a chance to become a spirit. When it gives birth to spirituality and wisdom, it will have the instinct to survive and expand its own power in an interesting way. However, the laws and principles of this world are not suitable for it, so in order to strengthen itself, it can only influence the reality. Some laws and principles tear it apart further, expanding its own influence and the power of its subordinates.”
"Just like when I sorted out the principles of Tao and Dharma before, making it easier for practitioners in the Middle Earth to break through, Zhang Tianshi broke through the past limits. If the principles of Tao and Dharma are further torn apart, it will naturally cause the current cultivators to panic. The power is further weakened. If it really gives birth to spirituality and expands its power, the current Xuanguang realm will gradually become a legend in Middle-earth, but it does not eliminate the possibility of ascension."
As he spoke, Milo stretched out his hand and took the scabbard in his hand. A faint precious light emerged, forming a barrier to protect Milo and Sister Wu.
Sister Wu, who was originally silent because of Milo's previous words, felt the changes in the power around her and said in surprise: "Is this world-class protection? It can actually isolate me from everyone's consciousness?"
"After all, it is a Noble Phantasm that has protected the magic world for decades under the rejection of heaven and earth. In terms of isolation and protection capabilities, it can be regarded as reaching the pinnacle of Noble Phantasms of the same level. Even outside Hanxia, I am afraid it is very It’s rare to see a similar Noble Phantasm.”
Saying that, Milo handed the scabbard to Sister Wu. She checked it briefly, and after understanding the power in it, she said with some pity: "Unfortunately, the incompleteness of spirituality has caused the essence of this treasure to decline. Otherwise, it should be returned." To be able to go further.”
"This is actually quite good."
Milo's idea was different from Sister Wu's. He continued to explain: "The Noble Phantasm is essentially the product of the combination of certain professional principles and legends. Therefore, its core power should also be in line with professional principles and related Legend. But as a treasure closely related to the legendary knight, the scabbard protects the magician. This is a conflict between the truth and the legend. After all, in the original myth, Avalon is inhabited by fairies, and Not a magician.”
"Now, at the last moment, the spirituality of this scabbard has rebuilt a barrier suitable for the life of a magician with its own concept as the core, and will gradually approach this world. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as repaying most of the debt. My kindness has cut off part of the conceptual integration between this precious phantom and the magician, making it easier for me to fill in and modify it later.”
"How are you going to modify it?"
Sister Wu seemed to ask accidentally.
"I plan to make Tongtian Valley an ideal hometown for practitioners in the future. In the final analysis, no matter whether it is the East or the West, after the two tossings of Dao Tianji, there is not a single moment that can't be slowed down at all. In China, because of some of their previous The civil strife has not ended yet, and I am afraid there will be more than ten years of turmoil at this rate. And I cannot stay for such a long time, so I plan to prepare a platform for you to ascend."
"With this treasure as the core, Tongtian Valley is hung at the connection point between Hanxia and the heaven and earth here, so that it is slightly higher than the heaven and earth. It is convenient for some monks who have broken through the Dharma Realm to continue practicing and prepare for future ascension. Prepare. If those same magicians are willing to change their foundations, they can also use this platform to guide the energy of heaven and earth to sort themselves out, which is a little compensation for me taking away the apple tree."
After saying that, Milo looked at Sister Wu and said, "In a situation like yours, you can also choose to practice in Tongtian Valley for a period of time before trying to ascend."
Regarding this, Sister Wu didn't care at all: "Forget it, I said goodbye before, and everyone will be embarrassed when I go back. Besides, your Tongtian Valley can only accommodate a limited number of people, so I won't occupy the position of those who come after me. .It’s just that I have something to ask you.”
Sister Wu paused, sorted out her thoughts and said: "Although your idea is good, it is very likely to build an ideal land for monks, but have you thought about how to maintain it? Many people may not be willing to listen to you after you leave. What do you plan to do with the court? In such a wonderful place, even if the court is afraid of your authority at first, as time goes by, they will eventually find ways to make them give up completely. It is impossible. .”
