Miao territory.
It was already the third day since Chi Yao came back.
After getting off the ship, he first went to the company headquarters with Huang Bairen to explain the results of the trip, and then he couldn't wait to return to the tribe and study the newly obtained Gu.
During this trip to Nathan Island, if Behemoth was in vain and the King of Nathan Island escaped with a broken arm and barely survived, then only Chi Yao made a lot of money. It can be said that everything that Behemoth covets ended up in his pocket and turned into material for practice.
Not only did he receive the gift left by Master Ziyang from Ruan Feng, but he also took the most precious treasure on Nathan Island - the sacred tree - as his own.
Now, the sacred tree that has sheltered Nason Island for countless centuries is taking root again in Chi Yao's Yuan Hai Kong Aperture, sorting out the flow of Yuan Qi in it for him, and together with Qijue Gu, has become the support for the Kong Aperture. The cornerstone of the world.
After this trip to Nason Island, Chi Yao's practice method has been very different from the traditional Gu magic in Miao territory.
His body has been integrated with the Yuanhai Kongqiao Gu. This Gu is neither outside the body nor in the body. It exists in the dark and boundless. As the embodiment of the small world of his human body, it has become the basis for future practice. foundation.
And all the Gu objects can be put into the void orifices and nourished by the sea of Yuan Qi, so there is no need for anything like Gu bags anymore.
Of course, assisting in sorting out Yuan Qi is only a characteristic of the divine tree itself. The new ability it acquires after being refined into the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu is - retrospection.
The giant tree of reincarnation rooted in the long river of time can use a certain thing as an anchor point to trace its past projection in the long river of time.
After figuring out how to operate this ability, Chi Yao has been thinking about what he should use as an anchor.
To be used as an anchor item, the following conditions must be met.
First of all, there is enough historical accumulation that has experienced the erosion of the long river of time, and is significant enough to leave a shadow in it, otherwise the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu cannot trace back.
Secondly, the material is excellent enough to withstand repeated erosion over time, and it must not be worn easily, otherwise it will be easy to return and it will be troublesome to return.
Chi Yao can think of many things that meet this condition.
The first one is the Gu cup that was just recovered.
Speaking of which, the Gu cup that had been lost for many years was found again, causing the entire Miao border to celebrate for a few days, and Chi Yao's already high reputation rose again.
However, in the face of many other gains, a mere Gu cup was no longer enough to cause much fluctuation in Chi Yao's mood. And his indifference was regarded by more people as a sign of calmness and reliability, and some people even started calling him Gu King.
Compared to the Great Gu Master, the title Gu King has more of a hint of submission on the basis of undiminished respect.
After looking through the information, Chi Yao found that the earliest records about the Gu cup were very vague, and who made it was also unclear, as if it appeared out of thin air.
This made him have some doubts about using the Gu cup as an anchor point for testing.
If the history of this thing is longer than imagined, there will be too many variables in the process. It is better to be stable for the first experiment.
After ruling out Gu Gu, Chi Yao set his sights on the Twelve Dong ruins in Moon Mountain.
Miao territory's twelve Dong tribes can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, it is debatable whether the Tree Sea Reincarnation Gu can go back to that time in one breath, but at least this goal is not as vague as the Gu Gu, so that people can't figure out the limit at all.
Just do what you say, Chi Yao has always been very active.
As a great Gu Master, he has no movement restrictions at all in the Miao Territory. Even the two holy mountains can be climbed at any time whenever he wants.
Returning to the desolate and dilapidated cave, caressing the half-weathered stone wall, Chi Yao's eyes showed a little nostalgia.
This can be said to be the place where he really laid his foundation. If it weren't for Qijue Gu as his destiny, he would not have enough strength to support the subsequent series of actions.
"Then, let's get started. As my blessed land, I hope I can have a good harvest this time..."
Chi Yao closed his eyes and activated the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu.
Hua Hua Hua...
The illusory sound of water rang in his ears, and Chi Yao's consciousness seemed to have left his body, following the root system of the Wood Sea Samsara Gu to a strange river.
The water in this river is surging and the waves are turbulent. There is no source or end in sight. The gray-white water is not even restrained by the river channel. It just wanders in the endless void, twists and turns, without beginning or end.
There should be no light in the void, but the rotation, entanglement and collision of every drop of water in the river will burst out with brilliant colors and streams of light.
Although no one introduced it, the moment he saw it, he felt as if his soul was blessed, and Chi Yao had already understood the name of this river.
The long river of time, the water of time.
Because of the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu as a support, Chi Yao did not fall into the water, but in front of the entire river, even the extremely tall sacred tree in Chi Yao's eyes could only be regarded as a small sapling.
It strives to extend its roots, trying to go back further, but the rushing water of time is constantly pushing it forward, preventing this movement of backtracking.
After a tug-of-war, Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu reached its limit and finally located a projection that could be used as an anchor point.
Chi Yao, who breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly had his eyes blurred, and his consciousness returned directly to the real world.
At this time, the empty orifice that was originally filled with Qi current was as if a thief had left the building empty, with one-third of the space suddenly vacant.
"Good guy, I didn't expect that just locating an anchor point would consume so much energy..." Chi Yao was secretly stunned.
You know, this is just to find out the position, and it hasn't actually been teleported yet. I don't know if the energy in my body can support such a teleportation.
The Gu needed for teleportation is called Nian Cicada. It is the companion Gu of the Samsara Gu. It usually lives on the sacred tree and feeds on the branches of the sacred tree. It is estimated that each branch eaten can rewind one year's time.
"Let me see how many years ago the anchor point was located this time..."
I didn't know, but I was shocked to find out that the only projection anchor point located by the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu was more than a thousand years ago!
"Has this led us directly to the heyday of the Twelve Dongs?"
Chi Yao was a little speechless. After more than a thousand years, even if the sacred tree was bald, there wouldn't be enough branches to feed the cicada! At least it will have to wait until it grows a few rounds again before it can be used.
Why did these twelve Dongs disappear like this? In a thousand years, they completely disappeared without leaving any traces?
Could it be that the family was wiped out at that time?
Now there are two choices before Chi Yao. One is to abandon the found projection and find a new anchor point again, because the Wood Sea Samsara Gu can only locate one anchor point projection at a time.
The second option is not to change the goal, but to find a way to spawn the sacred tree and gather the required number of branches as soon as possible.
Chi Yao counted carefully and found that the current sacred tree has about four hundred branches in total. If they were all broken off, three rounds would be enough.
After comparing the two methods, Chi Yao decided to give up this anchor point that was too far away first. After all, he just wanted to test the function of the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu. It didn't have to be a certain time period. Naturally, the sooner the better.
Of course, when he said he wanted to give up, he didn't give up directly. Instead, he was just going to overturn the old record when he looked back next time.
So the question now is, since the Twelve Dong ruins are not good, what should be chosen as a new anchor point?
"The teaching cave left by Master Ziyang should be able to do it, but the other party is from the Song Dynasty, and the time seems to exceed the limit of the sacred tree..."
Chi Yao thought, "According to the analysis of the twelve Dong's retrospective results, it seems that only when the influence is relatively large, it is possible to leave a trace that can be found in the long river of time. So it is best to choose something that will last forever. s things……"
There are actually many such things. For example, if he goes to Longhu Mountain or a certain historical site in Shaolin Temple, there is a high probability that he can find some positioning projections that are not too far away.
However, this kind of place is usually an important place for other sects, and it is not easy for him to talk about it.
After thinking about it, Chi Yao's eyes finally lit up.
"It's all my fault, Twelve Dong. It almost caused my train of thought to go astray. Who said that things that can be used as anchors must be dead things like these monuments? Is it okay to use living things as anchors? What’s more convenient?”
As soon as he thought of it, he immediately took out his mobile phone and booked a flight ticket to Northeast China.
Since we are looking for an anchor that has lived for hundreds of years, who else is more suitable than the group of immortals on Changbai Mountain?
Each of them is at least 500 years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are living fossils.
…
…
Changbai Mountain.
After saying hello to Guan Shihua, Chi Yao walked into the mountains alone.
This place is already familiar to him, and he can walk around at will with his eyes closed.
Chi Yao's arrival was naturally welcomed by all the immortals. After some simple greetings, Chi Yao went straight to the point.
"I have something very important that I need your help with,"
He looked at the five immortals in front of him with burning eyes, "Excuse me, which immortal has more traces among humans?"
Since the focus on living things may be different from the focus on dead objects, the rule that the greater the influence is, the easier it is to leave a projection, should remain unchanged.
Several immortals looked at each other, and finally Hu Santai stood up.
"Although I haven't moved around much, my influence on humans seems to be higher than those of them?"
Mrs. Hu Santai maintains her true self at this time, a fox with white fur and light pink accents, and a soft and charming voice, which really doesn't match the person she calls herself.
As soon as she said these words, the other four immortals were immediately silenced.
This guy obviously didn't do anything, but just because of the name Fox Fairy, he easily got a lot of incense and offerings. It's really hard not to make people jealous.
But there's nothing you can do about being jealous. Who said that their ancestors of the snake, rat, hedgehog, and weasel clans didn't lay a good foundation for the younger generations?
"Okay, then please cooperate with me, senior. No matter what you see later, don't panic."
Chi Yao placed his palm on Hu Santai's flank fur and activated the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu.
The familiar sound of water flow sounded, and his consciousness once again came to the river of time. But this time Chi Yao didn't come alone, there was a little fox lying on his shoulder.
"where is this place……"
Even with the protection of the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu, Hu Santai, who came here for the first time, still shivered instinctively. She had a feeling in her heart that every drop of gray water rushing below could completely annihilate her.
Therefore, the little paws held Chi Yao tightly and did not dare to relax at all.
After briefly explaining a few words about the long river of time, Chi Yao began to activate the Wood Sea Reincarnation Gu to trace forward.
Compared with the last time, this time's retracement was surprisingly smooth. They quickly found a projection of Hu Santanai. After weighing the consumption, Chi Yao decided to move forward.
Soon they found the second and third ones...
It wasn't until Chi Yao felt a little tired that he finally withdrew. Then he said goodbye to several immortals and found a quiet place to start planning.
"The distance between these coordinates now ranges from seventy to one thousand years, and the nearest one can even be set off soon..."
Chi Yao was so curious about the unknown that he didn't want to suppress his inner impulse, and immediately began to urge Nian Chan to eat as much as he could.
As one section after another of the sacred branches entered, ring-shaped patterns began to appear one after another on the back of the originally glorious and pure cicada, just like the growth rings of a big tree.
This is actually the origin of the name Nian Chan.
And depending on the number of growth rings on its body, the name of the cicada will also change slightly.
For example, now, the cicada that has eaten seventy-three branches of the sacred tree in one breath can be called the seventy-three-year cicada. Its ability is to take the host to shuttle to the location that is designated as a good projection anchor. If the distance is within seventy-three years, there will be no problem.
Because the distance was only seventy-three years, he could almost travel back and forth at will, so Chi Yao didn't make too many preparations. If there was a problem, he could just take a quick look and come back!
Just as he was about to activate the seventy-three-year-old cicada, Grandma Hu Santa suddenly grabbed him and asked in a low voice: "Can I go with you?"
"You want to go too?"
Chi Yao was a little confused, and then shook his head, "It's a pity, but I'm afraid it won't work this time. If I want to come back again, I have to position myself close to you. If you are really curious, wait until next time to change the position of another immortal family. When the time comes, I’ll take you with me.”
"That's it... If I had known better, I wouldn't have been so strong. I would have asked Xiao Hei to help you position yourself."
Hu Santai smacked her lips, looking slightly disappointed, "Okay then, I'll wait here for you to come back. Don't forget to take me with you next time!"
"Definitely next time."
Chi Yao nodded toward her, and then activated the Gu insect.
