"Ding, trigger the main mission: Repair and Rescue!"
Hearing the voice in his mind, Lu Xuan didn't expect that as soon as Old Man Shi Ling said this, the god-level martial arts system would actually issue him a corresponding task.
He had already roughly guessed the content of the mission without even checking the mission details.
According to the past situation, it is usually nothing more than accepting the request of the old man Shi Ling to help repair the formation that seals the earth.
With a thought in his mind, he habitually opened the system panel and began to view the task details.
However, after he read the details of the mission, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Please choose the host: whether to accept Shi Ling's request to repair the earth's seal. Since this task will have different consequences due to different choices, the rewards obtained will also be different. Please choose carefully!"
Choose a task?
This is the first time Lu Xuan has encountered such a task issued by the system.
In the past, the system directly released task targets, but this time the task is actually a selection task, and different choices will have different consequences?
Seeing this, Lu Xuan did not rush to make a choice.
According to past experience, every main mission assigned by the system will eventually affect the situation on the earth to a certain extent.
For example, the last mission to find the Canglong Ring not only allowed him to formally confront Chi Xiao and the Sirius King, but also allowed him to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. After the completion of the mission, it also freed all races on the earth from the torture of the curse.
There is no doubt that this main mission is likely to be like this.
Moreover, the system even gives a reminder to choose carefully, which is likely to have a great impact.
In this way, he cannot choose randomly.
If you are not careful, the situation on the earth may change drastically!
Lu Xuan did not rush, but slowly calmed himself down.
Then, he looked at Old Man Shi Ling again and asked: "Senior, if the sealing array eye is repaired, will the earth re-enter a state of withered spiritual energy?"
Old Man Shi Ling smiled slightly.
He did not hide anything and explained: "Normally speaking, if you only repair the damaged formation eye, it will indeed restore the sealing formation to integrity, and the earth will be disconnected from the starry sky again, and the spiritual energy will wither again as before. !”
Seeing the change in Lu Xuan's expression, and when he was about to say something, Old Man Shi Ling waved his hand and said, "The master's original intention of placing the seal is to protect the homeland, not to interrupt the cultivation path of the homeland."
"When the master was chased by the enemy all the way from the battlefield of all races, and fought fiercely with powerful forces in the starry sky for many years, and finally succeeded in killing all the chasing enemies, in order to prevent other enemies from tracking the earth, he hastily set up this seal to hide the earth. s position."
"Time is tight, and there will inevitably be mistakes in the deduction. The decline of the earth's aura is actually an accident. After the formation was completed, the master realized the problem and began to make adjustments! However, he died before he could complete it!"
After hearing this, Old Man Shi Ling sighed deeply.
Then, he raised his hand and waved, and a golden formation appeared in the sky.
This formation looks very mysterious, and it looks like a sea of stars appears in the sky.
However, after careful observation, it can be discovered that this sea of stars is composed of countless golden formation lines criss-crossing each other, and they interact with each other to form different functional units.
But overall, for Lu Xuan, it was even more daunting than the most complex circuit model he had ever learned in his previous life!
"Senior, is this the formation that seals the earth?" Lu Xuan asked.
Shi Ling nodded and said: "The master has basically completed the adjustment of the formation before he sat down. However, my attainments in the formation are far less than the master. It took so many years of study to finally complete the final Adjust, I’m just a rock after all!”
Hearing his words, Lu Xuan couldn't help but think of a scene in his mind.
On the head of a stone tablet was a scarf with the words "Separate Heads" tied on it. Even late at night, he was still lying in front of the table and working hard.
Ahem, he just imagined this kind of scene, but he didn't dare to let the stone spirit opposite him, who had lived for a hundred thousand years, know about it.
But I have to say, it is indeed worthy of being alive for so many years!
This formation makes me confused at first glance, and when I look at it again, I feel like my brain is not my own. It can actually perfect such a complex formation!
Without exposing Old Man Shi Ling's Versailles behavior, Lu Xuan asked again: "Senior, after the seal is adjusted, will the earth's spiritual energy be withered again?"
Shi Ling nodded and said: "Theoretically, if the transformation is completed, the spiritual energy on the earth may be restored to a level similar to the ancient times, because the formation will no longer consume the spiritual energy of the earth, and will even absorb it from the stars. Energy gathered into the earth!”
Lu Xuan felt happy.
However, before he could get excited, Old Man Shi Ling poured cold water on him.
"Don't be too quick to be happy. Everything is just a theory. I can't guarantee success. Once a mistake is made, it is very likely that the entire seal will collapse!"
Lu Xuan asked solemnly: "Senior, what are the chances?"
Old Man Shi Ling shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, after all, I am just a stone!"
Lu Xuan:......
After this conversation, he finally discovered that he thought Shi Ling was Versailles before, but now it seems more like he is really not confident in himself.
"Just a stone" is like its mantra, but isn't it a kind of self-deprecation?
An arrogant black cat, and a stone spirit with low self-esteem...
They were all present beside Lord Tianshi, but the difference was so big. He didn't know what the personalities of the turtles outside and the other three pets he had never seen before would be.
Lu Xuan retracted his thoughts that were gradually going astray and said seriously: "Senior, do you think there are still flaws in this plan?"
"No, I've been deducing it for a hundred thousand years! But after all, I'm just a stone. Maybe there's something I haven't considered!" Shi Ling muttered.
Lu Xuan:......
Suddenly, he found that communicating with Shi Ling was a bit difficult.
However, he said he could understand it. After all, if you stay in one place for a hundred thousand years, even a piece of stone may cause some disease!
But if we continue to communicate like this, there may be no end!
Therefore, Lu Xuan asked again: "So, what are senior's plans now?"
Shi Ling shook his head and said: "The earth now belongs to you, so it is up to you to decide whether to directly repair the seal or make adjustments!"
When Lu Xuan heard this, he fell silent for a while.
In fact, he didn't know how to choose.
Just repairing the sealing formation can close the cracks in the seal, so that monsters cannot continue to invade, but it will make the spiritual energy on the earth wither again.
In other words, people on earth will return to the period before the cataclysm.
Transforming the seal may allow the earth's cultivation to flourish again, but it may also cause the entire seal to collapse directly.
Once the seal collapses, the location of the earth will be directly exposed. At that time, the enemies of Lord Tianshi will most likely come to the door like the fishy cat of the monk.
He didn't dare to bet that after a hundred thousand years, all those enemies would be dead or give up on searching for the whereabouts of Lord Tianshi.
In the end, Lu Xuan still couldn't make a decision and said: "Senior, this matter is very important. I may need time to think about it!"
Old Man Shi Ling nodded and reminded: "You have to make a decision as soon as possible. The seal has been damaged for a long time, and it is still being damaged further!"
After saying this, old man Shi Ling did not let Lu Xuan leave.
The purpose of coming to Lu Xuan this time was not only to explain these things clearly to him, but also to allow him to formally accept the inheritance of Lord Tianshi.
Old Man Shi Ling raised his hand, and a stone gate appeared not far away. It was unknown where it led.
"If you enter through this door, there is a legacy left behind by the master. As for what you can gain, it depends on your own destiny!"
When Lu Xuan heard this, he hesitated.
If possible, he wanted to pass back what he learned here. After all, it was a very important matter, and he needed to refer to other people's ideas before making a decision.
Now receiving the inheritance, he was worried that it would take too long.
Moreover, there is another being on the earth whose origins are unknown and whose strength is unknown. He is worried that something will happen if he leaves for too long.
Shi Ling seemed to see his worries and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it taking too long. The time flow rate in the Sumeru Spirit World is controlled. If you want, you can spend a year here. Maybe only an hour has passed!”
hiss!
Lu Xuan took a breath.
Black Cat had told him before that time here was different from that on Earth, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated!
Lu Xuan suddenly realized something. Not only the Sumeru spirit world, but also the speed of time in the secret space seemed to be quite different from that on the earth.
They had been exploring the secret realm for so long before, but only a few days had passed on earth.
In addition, there is also the heaven-defying method of sending their consciousness to the Star Palace of Ten Thousand Realms in the past!
Everything about Lord Tianshi seems to be related to time!
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but look forward to it.
If I accept the inheritance of Lord Tianshi, will I also be able to master time-related abilities?
If this is really the case, I would be a little excited just thinking about it.
Various powers have appeared on the earth. Although abilities related to space are rare, there are actually several people with such powers, but abilities related to time have never appeared.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask Shi Ling.
After listening to his words, Shi Ling couldn't help laughing: "Your guess is correct. The master has powerful magical powers related to time, but you should not be able to inherit such abilities."
"Why?" Lu Xuan asked unwillingly.
"The reason why the master is called the Lord of Tianshi is because he was born into the ancient Tianshi clan. This race is naturally in harmony with time and has a lifespan far beyond that of ordinary people! The master's abilities come from his bloodline!"
Shi Ling said with a smile: "Unless you are the descendant of the master and have awakened the power of blood, it is impossible to possess his abilities. But as far as I know, the Tianshi clan was exterminated a hundred thousand years ago, and the master is the last one. , and he didn’t leave any heirs!”
Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this.
"Don't feel disappointed, the master also has a variety of powerful methods that are no less than bloodline abilities!"
Old Man Shi Ling smiled and said: "Go in, it's up to you what kind of inheritance you can get. I can't help you on this point. If you can't get recognition, it's possible that you won't get anything in the end!"
After hearing his words, Lu Xuan suddenly became a little nervous.
Could it be that I was really so unlucky that I couldn't get anything in the end?
In his wild thoughts, Lu Xuan found that he had reached the stone door. He gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to push open the heavy stone door and stepped inside.
Just after he entered the stone gate, the black cat lying on the futon reading comics suddenly said lazily: "This guy doesn't know if he will get the master's approval in the end. Could he really get nothing?" ?”
When Old Man Shi Ling heard this, he smiled and said, "Aren't you concentrating on reading?"
Black Cat rolled his eyes and said, "Reading this kind of book won't distract me from doing other things!"
Shi Ling did not continue to argue with it on this matter. He looked in the direction of Shimen and smiled: "I think he should be fine!"
"You actually think so highly of him?" Black Cat asked.
"He has a temperament similar to that of his master, and he was the choice you made after observing him for so many years. I believe in your choice!" Shi Ling said.
Hearing this, the black cat looked at Shi Ling without saying anything for a long time.
After a while, he lay down on the futon and read a book again, and said without looking back: "Don't believe me too much, I'm just a cat!"
Shi Ling:......
Seeing that the black cat did not continue to pay attention to his consciousness, Shi Ling shook his head, looked in the direction of Shimen and said to himself: "He has the last chance. If even he can't, then maybe he is doomed from the beginning. There is no hope!"
…
After stepping into the stone gate, Lu Xuan felt that the scene in front of him changed rapidly.
Then, his vision went dark.
In the darkness, there were floating balls emitting golden light, like bright lights hanging in mid-air, but unable to illuminate the surrounding space.
"Are these light groups the inheritance of Venerable Tianshi?"
Lu Xuan thought for a while and walked towards those light groups.
Soon, he came to the vicinity of a light ball.
This light ball is only the size of a fist. When you look closer, you will find that it is a bit illusory. It is like a translucent balloon, emitting a soft golden light, which does not look very dazzling.
Looking at this translucent ball of light, he didn't know what to do next.
Finally, he decided to give it a try and reached out his hand to touch the light group.
"Buzz!"
Just when his hand fell, a violent vibration suddenly erupted from the light ball, and his whole body was actually thrown away.
A powerful force came from the bombardment. Even with Lu Xuan's current strength, he couldn't stop it, and he ran out directly.
