Xiancai was a little confused now. She didn't know where she was. The surrounding environment felt both strange and familiar.
After being stunned for a moment, Huan Cai's eyes suddenly widened with an incredible expression of surprise.
The gray space, the fog that cannot be seen directly, and the suffocating sense of oppression, here is...
"Chaos airspace!?"
Xiancai was really frightened. She never expected that Zhang Xiaoman would bring her here. You must know that this is a desperate situation within a desperate situation. Even a medium-level extraordinary being like her would not dare to set foot in it easily.
Chaos Skyspace is a very scary place. Huancai had been there once a long time ago, and that trip almost cost her most of her life. She has never been there again since then.
However, although she has never been here again, Xiancai still remembers the characteristics of this place. She originally thought that Zhang Xiaoman just took her to a place with relatively strong spiritual power to be branded, but she really didn't expect that it would be here.
Yes, the density of spiritual power at the edge of the Chaos Airspace is indeed pretty good, but compared to those in the neighbourhood, it is too dangerous. In addition to the frequent presence of powerful wild beasts, the most important thing is the environment here. The degree of badness is quite high. If he is not careful, he will be swallowed up by the gray fog. Even if he is a mid-level extraordinary person, he will be finished.
"Jiuxing, why did you bring me here?"
Xiancai quickly turned around and wanted to leave, but the portal opened by Zhang Xiaoman had been closed.
Just when she was about to teleport away, a voice suddenly came to her ears.
"Now that we're here, let's start quickly."
It was Mo Ji who spoke.
Only then did Xiancai notice that there were two figures not far away. It was not that she had not seen each other before. It was just that she was preoccupied with marveling at her current location. Only then did she have the time to take a closer look.
"What a pure water attribute ability! With this kind of strength... this little cyan dragon is probably even stronger than me!"
Xiancai first looked at Niyang. At this moment, Niyang had already transformed into the appearance he had in the leader Yujue. His appearance looked like a Q version of a pocket dragon, with a big head and a small body, and two blinking eyes. Yes, and a little cute.
Then, she focused her attention on the woman in white beside her, who was the one who spoke just now.
"Unexpectedly...I can't notice any fluctuations in spiritual power at all...How could it be...could she be..."
Huancai's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Mo Ji with disbelief.
Of course she knew what it meant to be unable to detect spiritual energy fluctuations, and she also knew very well that since the other party could appear here, he definitely couldn't be an ordinary person, so there was only one result.
"Upper extraordinary level!?"
Xiancai was suddenly speechless. She just felt that her mind was blank now. She never thought that she just came here to stamp a piece of news, but she suddenly met the legendary extraordinary boss.
In this era, even in the oldest star field such as the Aigus Star Field, no high-level extraordinary figure has appeared. No one can deduce what happened, not even the observer It doesn't work, but there is one thing that everyone knows very well, that is, except for that person, there seems to be no high-level extraordinary existence in this universe.
"Wait a minute! Except for that person...could it be said..."
Xiancai looked at Mo Ji with more and more fear, and her heart was filled with turmoil.
"Don't worry, Xiancai, she is here to help us. We can just brand the star pattern here. You don't have to worry about anything else. You just need to help me successfully brand the fifth star pattern. I will do it when the time comes. I’ll pay you the subsequent remuneration.”
Huancai swallowed quietly, feeling a little bitter in her heart.
"Can I stop being branded... Can I return that life seed to you..."
Of course, she only dared to think about this sentence in her heart. Not to mention that she had no ability to find another life seed for Zhang Xiaoman, but that the relationship between the latter and that person must be extraordinary. If she dared to go back on her word, I'm afraid it won't end well.
Now Xiancai is a bit tearful. The confidence she felt at the beginning has long since disappeared. She never thought that there was such a big boss behind Ji Xing. If she had known that this was the case, she would have not coming.
Yes, there is such a powerful backer behind this pole star. No wonder it is so powerful. Presumably those supreme sequence abilities must be exerted through high-level artifacts.
Thinking about it made her angry. It was really irritating to see people compare to each other. There were only two high-level artifacts in the entire Aigus Divine Realm, and neither of them were in her hands. But this guy just took them as he wanted without asking for money. When he comes out to use it, it is normal for his own people to be no match for him.
Xiancai felt that she had now found the truth of the matter. This Ji Xing was probably the descendant of the Demon Lord, but to a certain extent, her guess was correct.
"Jiuxing, have you found all the materials? I mean... the Chaos Spirit Flower, that thing is hard to find..."
Take it as it comes, since there is no way to resist, Xiancai can only accept his fate.
She no longer expects to receive subsequent rewards, as long as the other party agrees to let her leave after the task is completed, she really has no resistance at all against a powerful person who is at the extraordinary level.
Zhang Xiaoman took out the materials he prepared from the storage ring one after another. When he took out the last Chaos Spirit Flower, he acted extremely carefully, for fear of breaking it accidentally.
When Xiancai saw him taking out the materials, he slowly collected his divergent thoughts and focused on the brand of the star pattern.
"There is one thing I want to ask first. How long will it take for us to brand this star pattern?"
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly asked.
Xiancai replied without thinking:
"The imprint of the fifth star pattern is different from the previous ones. The time it consumes is not fixed, but varies according to the dark spiritual power talent of different people. If your dark spiritual power talent is high enough, If so, then my branding speed will be very fast. Unfortunately, due to the lack of practical data, I cannot give you an accurate answer. I can only say that it took me about fifty years to brand it myself."
"Fifty years..."
Zhang Xiaoman was silent.
Although he was mentally prepared at the beginning, he did not expect that just the step of branding the star pattern would take fifty years. This was really beyond his expectation.
You must know that this is only the time for the branding. After the branding is completed, he will need to spend more time to cultivate it. If calculated according to this ratio, wouldn't it take him at least 500 years?
Even saying that 500 years is just a relatively conservative guess, Zhang Xiaoman feels that he may have been a little too hasty this time.
You must know that the demonic tide is raging outside now. If you stay here for tens or hundreds of years, you don't know what the outside will look like.
"If it doesn't work out, I'll wait for a while to imprint the star pattern cultivation. After the crisis in the Demon Nest is resolved, it won't be too late to make plans..."
He secretly made up his mind. If it only took 50 years, he would ask Niyang to help, and there would be no major problems with the Star Alliance.
Zhang Xiaoman's hesitation was seen by Mo Ji. She stretched out her hand and waved it gently, and the flow of time around her suddenly slowed down. This was a force similar to quicksand at the fingertips.
"You don't have to worry about time. This is the edge of the chaotic airspace. The space-time system is already very unstable. I only need to intervene a little to give you endless time."
Sure enough, as Mo Ji finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoman could clearly feel that time around him had almost stopped. Seeing this scene, he was extremely surprised.
He naturally knows the ability to make quicksand on his fingertips, but to be able to directly reduce the flow of time in such a large area like Mo Ji, and it seems that she still wants to maintain this state for 50 years, is really a bit scary to be honest. .
Although the space and time in the area at the edge of the chaotic airspace is very unstable, and the difficulty of using quicksand at the fingertips will be reduced, that is 50 years, and Zhang Xiaoman feels that even if he squeezes himself dry, he will not be able to sustain it.
"Is this the strength of a high-level extraordinary level? Apart from anything else, the gap in the upper limit of spiritual power is so huge. If faced with such a being, I don't seem to have even a chance..."
Zhang Xiaoman smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was really nothing he could do about his inferior skills. Fortunately, he also had his own advantages. Since he had already unlocked all the dark spirit sequences innately, he only needed to continuously increase the total amount of spiritual power to continue to break through. If he goes on, I believe he will be able to reach this state soon.
"Although your talent has given you many unique abilities, most of those abilities are based on the extension of laws. Before you can truly control them, they can be easily restrained by others, so the key is for you to fight Build a good foundation and improve your own physical strength, so that you can control your talents as you wish."
Mo Ji reminded him casually, and Zhang Xiaoman didn't know what he did. He just felt that most of his skills were locked at this moment and could not be activated.
"This is……"
He was horrified and hurried to see what happened.
After his perception, Zhang Xiaoman discovered that the locked abilities were all from the skills produced by the system. These skills were different from the skills he had developed himself, and they all had one common point, that is, they had a cooling effect. Time and release time settings.
Now, except for the instant cast, the release time of other skills has been extended infinitely, and the cooling time has also been extended infinitely. This is why Zhang Xiaoman cannot use it.
"Is it because...of quicksand on your fingertips?"
He immediately had some guesses and quickly used the infinite teleportation, only to find that it really couldn't be used.
Although he was prepared, Zhang Xiaoman still felt cold in his heart at this moment.
This was the first time that he was unable to use infinite teleportation, and it was also the first time that he felt a strong sense of frustration.
Yes, although unlimited teleportation can be carried out regardless of all restrictions, the premise is that he can release it.
But now the infinite teleportation has become unable to be activated due to Mo Ji's time stasis.
Because it takes 5 seconds to prepare to release this skill, and after Mo Ji's intervention, those 5 seconds became almost infinite, so naturally it cannot be used.
In the same way, the same applies to other skills. Even if those Shunfa skills are activated, their cooling time is also extended indefinitely, which means that Zhang Xiaoman can only use it once at most.
Zhang Xiaoman broke out in a cold sweat at this moment. He finally understood the meaning of Mo Ji's words just now. This was the first time he faced the shortcomings of his skills. Although the system's skills were convenient and fast, such disadvantages did exist.
"It seems that the root of everything is strength. If I can also reach the upper extraordinary level, then I should be able to break through the restrictions of these rules and use my own power to activate abilities, and I will not be affected by time... …”
When Zhang Xiaoman thought of this, his sense of urgency to quickly improve his strength became even stronger.
At the same time, he looked at Mo Ji, bowed his hands and thanked her:
"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I'm very grateful, junior."
Mo Ji waved her hand, indicating that it was okay.
A small episode passed quickly, and Zhang Xiaoman's star pattern branding began.
Xiancai first spent about a month processing all the materials. Of course, this was relative to themselves. To the outside world, it was actually just one time.
The materials are all ready, and the next step is the formation. The formation is very complicated and takes longer. This time, it took nearly half a year to complete. This is because Xiancai had prepared in advance.
Finally, in Zhang Xiaoman's expectation, his fifth star mark began.
However, there is a saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Perhaps because the existence of Mo Ji made Xiancai too nervous, she actually made a serious mistake during the branding process, resulting in all the materials being wasted. The imprinting of the fifth star pattern was immediately declared a failure.
"I...I...I didn't mean it... Jiexing, how about I refund all your fees to you...and these materials...I will also try my best to compensate..."
Xiancai was a little panicked now. He had accidentally messed up the matter. He must have been retaliated by that person.
In fact, the branding star pattern has a probability of failure, which does not mean that it will definitely succeed, even for her.
What's more, this is still the fifth star pattern, and the success rate is not too high. The two of them have made an agreement in advance. If this happens, the only loss will be Zhang Xiaoman gritting his teeth and admitting defeat. This is also the brand star pattern. The usual rules of this industry.
