"variable?"
There was a faint cold wind, and a young man with an extraordinary appearance walked towards the place where the graveyard was. His steps were very firm.
He held a mysterious compass in his hand. It was not big, but there were countless inscriptions on it.
As he walked, the young man made a seal with one hand, transforming into countless patterns and striking them on the compass.
The movements on his hands were so skillful that they became a habit, and they did not affect the young man's thoughts at all. He was still talking to himself as he walked.
"What can be called a variable?"
"Unknowable, unpredictable, inferable?"
"But if you can't even deduce it, how can Master know that there are variables in Void Island?"
Situ Yongren finally stopped.
Because the direction indicated on the Bianluo Dayan Disk is right in front of you.
"The ghost city of the underworld..."
"Isn't this place the direction from which the strange voice of canonization came from before?"
"Why does it feel so infiltrating?"
Situ Yongren shuddered, shook his head, quickly outlined the Tianji Dao pattern with his five fingers, and continued to apply it on the Bianluo Dayan plate.
This is a sacred artifact given by Master Dao Qiongang, and it was inscribed by him himself. It is of extremely high status, even a semi-saint can deduce it.
It's just that the risk is very high to deduce such an extreme situation, and Situ Yongren will not try it easily.
But Void Island is different.
This place, except for Taixu, is semi-holy.
It is better to die in confusion than to die in the clear after successful deduction.
Of course, extreme examples are extreme.
Under normal circumstances, through Bianluo Dayan, you can avoid a crash.
"Master said that there is only one level of variables that he cannot calculate, but here, how do I show that there are six levels?"
"Sure enough, I still don't have enough skill..."
"The Hall of Sin is considered the hardest hit area, with multiple overlapping variables, and it is also the center point of the Holy Tribulation. Let's count it as one place for now."
"There is also a place outside the Sin Palace. The risks of Falling into the Abyss and the Ember Fire Realm are not low. Each one counts as one."
"There is another place where the direction is unknown..."
Situ Yongren stared at the six bright lights on the Bianluo Dayan disk and fell into deep thought.
His free right hand unconsciously pinched his knuckles and began to calculate the unknown variables.
Soon, there was a roar in the void and a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
Situ Yongren's head was so dizzy from the explosion that he quickly stopped his unconscious movements.
"Extremely high status!"
"The direction is unknown, and the status is still so high...could it be a variable on the inner island?"
Situ Yongren's eyelids twitched twice, and he looked around a few times, only to realize that this Void Island was really not a place for humans, and was full of death intentions.
For the time being, he put aside the variables elsewhere and took the ghosts in front of him seriously.
After all, this is one of the variables with the most significant traces on Bianluo's Dayan.
"A weird half-Christmas place..."
"After the canonization, all traces mysteriously disappeared..."
"Well, the point is that among the six variables, the only one shows that I can come and take a look, but it will not directly lead to death!"
Situ Yongren continued to activate the Bianluo Dayan Disk, thinking while doing calculations:
"The time I came here should be the earliest, because I calculated in advance that the person who is now should have been canonized not long ago and has just left."
"So, where are the traces left?"
"If we can find his personal belongings, we can even reverse the process of his canonization and get a glimpse of it."
"Well, I don't need to think too much about the matter of meeting the saint. With Master's ability to help me cover it up, he is unlikely to find out."
Buzz!
The Bianluo Dayan disk lit up with light, and the weak cloud currents on it gathered and pointed to the northwest.
"northwest......"
Situ Yongren looked to the northwest, but didn't sense anything special.
He continued to wait.
Soon, the Bianluo Dayan Disk was automatically deduced, and through the laws of heaven, it gave the weak cloud flow on the disc a trace of Yin.
red.
"You may be injured, but it won't directly lead to death. You can take a look at it." Situ Yongren's eyes lit up as he understood the deduction results.
call out!
For a moment, the spiritual energy flashed away.
Situ Yongren fled to the northwest unswervingly, but not fast, and looked around for possible dangers.
"Woo~"
A full half-quarter of an hour passed.
Blinded by the heavenly secrets, Situ Yongren, who was walking through the sea of flowers composed of undead bodies without taking a single leaf from his body, finally saw the guiding place of the Bianluo Dayan Pan.
"altar?"
This is a stone altar with three soul-calling flags above it.
There is blood on the altar, and under the altar are the broken corpses of humans and undead bodies. There are all kinds of people and spirits, including Taixu tourists on Void Island.
"You killed many people and spirits to build this altar. The methods are very evil. Are you from the Southern Region?"
"Well, you can't think so..."
"At the level of Taixu, they have a lot of time to practice various weird methods.
of. "
Situ Yongren did not go directly to the altar, but took out the Bianluo Dayan Pan and calculated his probability of death.
The red color of the weak cloud flow on the disk has become a bit darker visible to the naked eye.
"Well, the threat of death is getting worse, but it won't go away directly yet. It seems like we really need to take a look."
"Hey, could this be a variable in the mission assigned by Master?"
"Damn it, why was I also sent to Void Island? It would be great to be with Miss Zhiwen in the Yunlun Mountains. The King of Hell Water Ghost...hey."
Situ Yongren sighed several times.
He was actually scared and didn't want to see that weird altar at all.
This isn't a good place to be, it looks like Situ's coffin without a lid!
But the master's mission came through the Bianluo Dayan Pan. I knew I shouldn't have accepted this gift in the first place.
dog......
Hey, Master, you are so smart!
Situ Yongren walked towards the altar, and Bian Luo Dayanpan took the lead in aiming at the three soul-calling flags.
"Brilliant Heavenly Power, protect my spiritual body!"
"The great secret, bless my soul!"
Situ Yongren's eyes flashed with patterns of heavenly secrets, and he made a single-handed seal, first applying two layers of holy light to himself.
After doing this, he glanced at the soul-calling flag again.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out a small paper man from his arms.
"Edict!"
The Tianji Dao pattern on the little paper man's body lit up.
The two soft paper hands quickly intertwined to form seals, and the holed mouth opened and closed, speaking exactly the same voice as Situ Yongren:
"lead!"
Then a hazy holy light flew out from the Bianluo Dayan Pan, covering the three soul-calling flags on the altar.
Buzz!
The Void Dao pattern appears and begins to evolve the scene that happened here before.
Situ Yongren narrowed his eyes and his heart jumped into his throat. He stared intently at...Bianluo Dayan Pan, not daring to look at the scene in the void.
"ah--"
The little paper figure next to it suddenly let out a shrill scream, burst into flames, and was burned out in an instant.
"I knew it!"
Situ Yongren retreated frantically as if he had seen a ghost, and at the same time urged Bian Luo to place the Dayan Pan across his chest.
"boom!"
His mind was bombarded by an unknown force. Situ Yongren was dizzy, and the holy light he had previously protected shattered. He continued to withdraw.
"boom!"
The second heavy bombardment exploded again
Opening, Situ Yongren stumbled, his mouth and nose bleeding, but the Holy Light attacked him again.
"The secret curtain, hide!"
Situ Yongren panicked and pointed his finger at the Bianluo Dayan plate.
Immediately, the Heavenly Dao emerged around him, turning into an invisible chain to tighten himself, pulling him into the Heavenly Dao, and disappeared.
"boom!"
Bian Luo's Dayan Pan took the third injury instead of Situ Yongren, fell to the ground and began to tremble.
Situ Yongren's eyes widened and he stared at the death plate that was bouncing around on the ground, not daring to move.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Finally, after the eighteenth attack was completed, it took a full quarter of an hour and there was still no follow-up.
With trembling hands, Situ Yongren walked out from under the cover of Tianji and picked up the Bianluo Dayan Disk.
"Who can be so cautious, just take a peek and blow me up eighteen times?"
"The plate...can still be used!"
The damage to Bianluo's Dayan Disk was not serious. After all, it was produced by Master Dao Qiongang and was of extremely high status.
Situ Yong was still frightened, and while scolding, he began to use Tianji Technique to repair the damage to Bian Luo's Dayan Pan.
"Damn it, I know that no one who dares to be canonized on Void Island is simple. They must have calculated that someone will come to deduce the canonization process, so they have a back-up plan."
"Fortunately, okay, I predicted his prediction...
The repair only took a short time, and the Bianluo Dayan disk was restored to full functionality.
Situ Yongren didn't dare to count the altar anymore, but he could count the attack just now.
Of course, risk aversion also needs to be done.
Situ Yongren made another small paper man, used it to replace himself, and activated the Bianluo Dayan Disk.
"Consider dead No. 1184."
The little paper man received the order, made seals with his soft paper hands, and began to deduce the attacks that his friend who had just died suffered during his lifetime.
Situ Yongren did not dare to measure the attack on the altar head-on. He was afraid that it would be directed at his master, so he could only take a roundabout way.
Soon, the deduction came to fruition, which was surprising.
"The power of death?"
Situ Yongren tore off the paper man, stared at the results on Bianluo's Dayan plate, and fell into deep thought.
"Night Owl?"
"The power of death on this void island can only be that of Night Owl, right?"
"But why did she need to leave such an altar when she was canonized? She shouldn't be afraid of others deducing the outcome of the canonization.
Well, she is also from the Holy Temple. "
"ANBU...she wants to hide the secret of the canonization and do something bad?"
Situ Yongren glanced at the altar again, and saw that the three soul-calling flags above had disappeared, turning into eighteen soul bombardments just now.
But the stone altar is still there, and so is the blood.
"Ye Xiao was canonized, but he was canonized as a weird saint?" "She had a mental problem and left something like this as a back-up?"
"Yes, she doesn't have a semi-saint status yet, so she uses a substitute?"
"That voice..."
Situ Yongren recalled the dizzy feeling when he heard the voice of canonization earlier. He pressed his fingers on the Bianluo Dayan plate and took a bold step.
Buzz!
Bian Luo's Dayan plate shined and the results came out.
"The Blood World Pearl..."
The corners of Situ Yongren's eyes began to twitch, "Madman!" At this moment, there was a soft sound in the void, and a shadow fell over his head.
Situ Yongren's heart almost jumped out of his mouth, and he retreated sharply. While raising the Bianluo Dayan Disk, he also took out a small tower with his right hand and injected spiritual energy into it.
"It's me." A buzzing voice came, making people's eardrums swell.
Situ Yongren's eyes narrowed and he discovered that this giant-sized man in linen clothes was one of the members of the ten-member council of the Holy Temple.
"Senior Tianji Divine Envoy?"
"I told you, you can just call me No. 2." No. 2 said.
"Senior No. 2!"
Situ Yong didn't dare to mess around. After seeing that it was one of his own, he calmed down a little and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Together with Mr. Yan, we are assisting Sword Master Rao. We have other tasks, so I can't explain them clearly." No. 2 said concisely, "Why are you here?"
Mr. Yan......
Yan colorless, Yan old-timer?
Situ Yongren's eyes lit up, and his chest, which he had been holding since arriving in the Netherworld Ghost City, also puffed up a little.
This time, Master has sent so many big shots, that’s great!
Void Island is already our own territory!
But soon, Situ Yongren's chest shrank back again. He was a smart man after all...
How bad does the situation have to be?
Two members of the ten-member discussion group were dispatched. This has not happened once in the past few decades, right?
"I measure variables, it's Master's mission." Situ Yongren explained.
"Ye Xiao used the Blood World Pearl to become a saint, and she survived the tribulation in the Ghost Capital of the Netherworld. This is the place where she will survive the tribulation. She has the power of death. I have calculated that the probability of the saint being successful is very high. You don't need to panic." No. said.
He had been paying attention to the movements in the Sin Palace, but he still obeyed Mr. Yan's instructions.
After sensing the disappearance of the holy tribulation in the direction of the Netherworld Ghost Capital, he temporarily put down the various figures under the multiple holy tribulations in the Sin Palace and came here specially.
The reason is to meet Ye Xiaojun after his canonization.
Counting Rao Yaoyao, after Ye Xiao's canonization, there are already four saints in the Void Island Holy Temple!
No. 2 did not expect that after arriving here, Ye Xiao would be the first to bump into the disciple of the Taoist Palace Master.
"That's right..."
Situ Yongren was relieved a lot when he heard this.
But when he lowered his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the variable position on Bian Luo's Dayan plate, and his eyes froze.
"night......"
Situ Yongren suddenly paused.
Yes, Ye Xiao has been canonized. Today is different from the past, and we can no longer call him by his name.
But why does it feel like something is wrong?
Number 2 also noticed something was wrong. He had just called Ye Xiao's name, but he didn't get a response?
When I was first canonized, there was no reason why I could control call and response so well...
"Night Owl."
Number Two raised his eyes again and looked into the void.
After a long silence, No. 2 finally lowered his head and asked, "You just said, what are you doing here?"
Situ Yongren's heart twitched and he suddenly felt nervous.
The relaxed state of mind that had been relaxed due to the appearance of No. 2 was once again shattered by the suddenly strange atmosphere in the ghost town.
"Measure the variables!"
Situ Yongren hurriedly responded, "Master said that there is a variable in Void Island that he failed to calculate, but my ability is low, and I have calculated six variables. This is the first place I came to investigate."
Variables... There was no emotion in No. 2, and he calmly said: "Does it mean there will be an accident during the canonization of Ye Xiao?"
"Maybe, maybe more than that." Situ Yongren couldn't give a definite answer, but his intuition was the latter. After all, the master couldn't even calculate it, and it was definitely not just Ye Xiao who was involved.
"How do you test it?"
"That altar..." Situ Yongren turned to look at the strange altar, "It's a bit strange."
"Then test it."
"Huh? I just tried it, and the power of death attacked me. I almost died."
"It doesn't matter, you can use me and test it directly."
Situ Yongren was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, and soon saw the divine envoy in front of him bending down and stretching out his hand, as if he was letting himself onto the palm of his hand.
"Isn't this bad?"
Of course Situ Yongren knew what it meant when he used No. 2.
No. 2 is the most successful Tianji puppet made by Master Dao Qiongang. He has his own intelligence, but in essence, he is also a Tianji puppet and an object.
Using Tianji Technique, Tianji Warlock can control Tianji Puppet.
Even because No. 2 has intelligence, as long as he takes the initiative to put down his guard, the Tianji Warlock can even directly possess him and control him.
This is equivalent to a Semi-Saint experience card, and it is the strongest one!
However, I am just a junior.
The right to use the second number belongs to the Master alone. It is really a possession and manipulation, which is both transgression and blasphemy.
Because then again…
This Lord the Divine Envoy of Heaven is intelligent and should be treated as an adult!
From his point of view, possession and manipulation are no different from being taken away from one's body or being controlled!
"It's harmless. You are the apprentice of the Taoist Palace Master. Only you can make an exception." No. 2 didn't mind at all, and put his palm down
to the feet of the young man in front of him.
Situ Yongren swallowed his saliva and hesitated no longer.
"excuse me."
He stepped onto No. 2's palm, made seals on his fingertips, and the secret path of heaven appeared.
Soon, Situ Yongren's whole body sank into No. 2's palm, completely integrating with this semi-saint level Tianji puppet.
"let's start."
No. 2 straightened up and looked in the direction of the altar. A pocket compass appeared in his palm.
"Senior No. 2, please grant me some more authority."
Two different voices appeared from the same giant body.
Situ Yongren's voice had just settled on No. 2 when his head tapped lightly.
"What now?"
"That's enough! That's enough! Thank you, Senior No. 2!"
No. 2's eyes lit up with excitement, and he picked up the pocket version of Bianluo Dayan Disk with his fingertips.
There is no need to even form a seal, a stream of holy power is injected into the plate.
Buzz!
In an instant, the void for dozens of miles around trembled.
The Way of Heavenly Secrets manifests itself in a way that is visible to the naked eye.
"Tianji Retrospective, go!"
The stream of light flew up from the plate, jumped into the sky, and covered the entire altar at once.
At the same time, a hazy holy energy barrier bloomed on No. 2, which was outlined by countless heavenly secret patterns, almost covering the entire area of the tomb.
"Buzz."
On the altar, the scene began to rewind.
In the tombs of the Netherworld Ghost Capital, there is also the gathering of holy power, forming a celestial picture.
Situ Yongren used No. 2's perspective, suppressed the emotional excitement brought about by being able to use the holy power at will without the holy blood, and looked at the two pictures with bated breath.
He can even control two parts of the secrets at the same time: the altar's and the tomb's, without having to protect himself.
Before, this was unthinkable!
"Click."
When I was excited, there was a sudden crack from the altar not far away.
Through the perspective of No. 2, Situ Yongren has not yet seen the clear contents of the two-way retrospective footage, but feels that the entire tomb is there.
No!
The entire Netherworld Ghost City is trembling!
"Rumble--"
Without any other signs, a huge opening suddenly opened in the sky, like a doomsday scene. The crack ran from west to east and was so big that it almost spanned the entire void.
Situ Yongren controlled No. 2 and raised his head.
At one glance, Hun'er was scared out of his wits!
Then he saw that the ghosts in the underworld were using the altar as a guide, and they were rising up from the sky with surging holy power in a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
As soon as the holy power rose into the air, it drained away all the undead bodies within the scope, smashed them into pieces, turned them into spiritual light, and injected them into the crack in the sky.
"embarrassed--"
After a whistle.
A death head clad in a black feather hood protruded from the crack in the sky. Two green will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness locked on No. 2 like eyes...
No!
What is locked is, Situ
mediocre!
Situ Yongren felt that his soul and body were completely frozen to death at this glance, unable to move at all.
At this time, a black Death Hook Scythe emerged from the west side of the crack in the sky!
The blade of the hook and sickle was dripping with the power of the god of death as black as ink, and with an endless will to die, it slashed from west to east with lightning speed.
"Click!"
The sacred soul weapon protecting the body in his mind exploded to pieces. After Situ Yongren took a breather, a crazy and frightening roar roared out of No. 2's mouth.
"Senior No. 2, save me——"
The mouth closed for a moment, then opened again.
This time, it was the sound of number two.
"use me......"
The god of death, Hook Scythe, was already very close at hand, but Situ Yongren felt as if he had taken a reassurance, and for a moment all his anxiety was gone.
yes!
I am now in the body of the Divine Envoy of Heaven, and he is the strongest half-saint!
I have enough power to crush ordinary semi-saints.
What am I afraid of?
"Swish, swish, swish!"
At the critical moment, there is no need to form seals, the secret path is outlined in an instant.
The holy power surged, and the entire Netherworld ghost trembled again.
This time, the magnitude is huge.
"Battle mode!"
Situ Yongren's excited voice roared out.
The three-foot-tall No. 2's eyes turned scarlet at this moment, and it stood tall, as high as the sky.
With half a foot, he trampled the graveyard under his feet!
The huge Death Hook Scythe, which could have penetrated half of the ghost city in the underworld, was like a child's toy at this moment, under the eyelids of No. 2, which was as high as a sky pillar.
"Soul Mode!"
Situ Yongren's voice tried his best to be calm, but could not hide his enthusiasm.
Number Two suddenly turned transparent, jumped back in the air, flicked his arms, turned into a golden knife, and slashed down with the Death Hook and Sickle coming from close to him.
"boom!!!"
The exploding soul sound almost condensed into substance, the rules exploded, and the Jedi shattered.
The entire Netherworld ghost blasted away the rolling air waves, shattering countless creatures, undead, wood, stone, space... and turned into a giant black hole, swallowing the entire place.
"ah--"
"sad--"
The people who were still practicing around them and the spirits who were still living nearby all suffered unreasonable disasters.
The soul attack rolled away by the explosion only allowed them to cry out half a cry of pain, and soon destroyed everything.
"..."
The world suddenly fell into silence again, like a silent place.
Finally, after a long time, he gathered the mighty power of the semi-saints and the power of his ancestors, and the Death Scythe, which could kill the saints, disappeared.
No. 2's eyes returned to their normal color, and when he spread his hands, Situ Yongren emerged.
"powerful!"
"too strong!"
He looked at the completely shattered space around him that was difficult to heal, but he was unscathed despite resisting the blow, and was not even injured by the shock.
Situ Yongren's eyes were red, and his excitement level was simply off the charts!
This is Ye Xiao's most powerful blow after being canonized!
If it were someone else, even a semi-saint... as long as they were not specialized in soul cultivation, under this form, even if they tried all kinds of means, they would still die!
But!
No. 2 only needs to switch modes once, and with the physical power of Tianji Puppet, he can easily withstand this blow.
Although this most powerful semi-saint experience card only lasted for a short moment, Situ Yongren was satisfied.
completely satisfied!
"The enemy's body is not here. There is no need to activate combat mode for this kind of attack." No. 2 regained his self-awareness.
"I was wrong." Situ Yongren looked humble on the surface, but his fervent heart was shouting like crazy: How could this not be opened? Everyone can drive it!
"She's not a night owl.
"No. 2 didn't pay attention to these small details and looked at the gap in the sky that would never be healed.
"Um......"
Situ Yongren also returned to the topic, suppressing his excitement with difficulty, and said:
"Ye Xiao, she won't take action against us. She must have had an accident."
"The Blood World Pearl is not something that can be used to make a saint!"
Although the two sides of the Tianji retrospective screen were not seen just now, the exploding altar destroyed all the traces of the canonization left by the Netherworld Ghost City.
However, the derivation results are also preserved.
Situ Yong turned his hand, and the Bianluo Dayan Disk appeared in his palm.
He is a cautious and rational person. Even though he was full of enthusiasm just now, when he discovered something was wrong, he had already completed the third deduction guided by his self-awareness - targeting Night Owl!
"Night Owl, dead."
Bianluo Dayan's plate was filled with blood.
Situ Yongren was silent for a long time and revealed the derivation result.
"Dead?" Astonishment appeared in No. 2's ever-calm eyes, "It's impossible, I've calculated..."
His words stopped abruptly.
Because the person standing in front of him is the number one on the Taoist Heavenly Ranking. He is unknown to the younger generation of Chinese and outsiders, but in the Holy Mountain Headquarters, he is known as a great talent in Tianjishu who is as famous as Yu Lingdi.
His derivation results could not be wrong, not to mention that he used his own body to make the derivation.
No matter who you doubt, No. 2 will never doubt your own abilities.
"Swift."
At this moment, half of the blood color on Bianluo Dayan's plate was removed, turning into half white and half red.
"No, she is still alive?"
Situ Yongren was delighted to see this.
Soon, he discovered that the white did not completely occupy the blood, but was evenly divided.
Situ Yongren's expression finally turned frightened.
This derivation result is too terrible?
"That's not right either!"
"It's very wrong!"
"Night Owl...both alive and dead!?"
Situ Yongren's raised face was so pale that even he found this outcome ridiculous and shocking.
If an outsider had come, I'm afraid they would have slapped Situ Yongren in the face by now.
What nonsense are you talking about?
But No. 2 was a puppet of Tianji whose emotions didn't fluctuate very much. He was completely indifferent. He only reacted for half a breath before calculating the most likely outcome.
"Seize the body?"
Situ Yongren nodded in shock as if he had been awakened: "This possibility cannot be ruled out...but, who can seize the body of the canonized Night Owl?"
Looking at the crack in the sky, Situ Yongren's pupils were trembling and his mood was beyond control.
He has just become a saint and already possesses such great power. He has perfect control over the power of the God of Death. He can still deliver such a terrifying blow even when he is not around.
Although this attack borrowed the power of the Netherworld Ghost City.
But it can also prove its power from the side! Even Netherworld Ghost can borrow the power of Jedi...
How could such a semi-saint be snatched away?
Did the Holy Emperor take action?
Or what?
What kind of dragons and tigers are hidden on Void Island...
No. 2 was also pondering, obviously thinking about this section. Soon, Situ Yongren and No. 2 calmed down.
The brain circuits of the two people were very fast, and they were moving on the same frequency, focusing on the question they had just inadvertently raised.
Who can seize the almost invincible Night Owl after being canonized?
Coincidentally, Situ Yongren and No. 2 spoke.
"variable?"
"variable!"
Situ Yongren was still doubting.
No. 2 has already regarded this matter as a definite outcome and is calculating the future.
His face suddenly became very calm.
This was a display of extreme calmness, activating the Tianji Puppet's strongest computing power.
Within three breaths, all the results were listed.
Based on the previous clues, No. 2 calculated the most likely destination of the night owl who was both alive and dead.
"Sin Yidian!"
"What?" Situ Yongren was stunned for a moment.
"Ye Xiao...or rather, the person who replaced Ye Xiao should have gone to the First Hall of Sin. He can use Night Owl's ability, which means that the memory will not be lost much."
"So?" Situ Yongren still doesn't understand.
No. 2 looked into the distance, his eyes full of solemnity.
He was silent for a long time, and finally lifted up Situ Yongren, jumped out of thin air, and jumped into the Dao Principle.
"Yulingdi!"
"The Second Gate!"
