Chapter 697
697 Chapter 697, a new method of cooperation!
(two chapters merged into one)
This third stage was much harder than the second stage.
Ninety-nine percent of the talisman masters who wanted to clear this stage failed at this stage. If Yang Tian could clear this stage, he could at least be considered a high-level talisman master.
Standing in front of the nine teleportation formation platforms, Yang Tian closed his eyes again.
This was the first time KU man had seen such a method of breaking a formation. Standing in front of the formation, he closed his eyes and waited for a moment. Once he opened his eyes, he would be able to easily break the formation..
Other amulet masters wouldn’t be like this. In order to break a formation, they would have a set of specialized tools. The first step was to use the tool to probe the composition, location, strength, and so on of the energy within the formation.
The second step was to calculate the method to crack the runic array according to the information that was detected.
The third step was to crack it. In this process, it might fail. After failing, they could only repeat the cracking process until the runic array was cracked.
When Yang Tian cracked the first two runic arrays, he did not take out the tools to crack the runic array. With just his hands, he cracked the two runic arrays.
The bystanders who did not understand the runic arrays might not think much of it. But to Ku Man, this was a huge surprise.
Looking at Yang Tian’s closed eyes, Ku man could not help but laugh. If Yang Tian could crack the runic arrays in front of him, she planned to bring Yang Tian to the limitless divine hall no matter what.
At this moment, the runic energy patterns of the nine teleportation array platforms appeared in Yang Tian’s mind. Each array platform was divided into nine runic energy lines, which were connected to the other eight array platforms and a point on the opposite path.
The line on the connecting path was intermittently visible. When the runic energy lines extended from one of the array platforms connected to this point, the runic energy lines connecting the other eight teleportation array platforms to this point would disappear.
The color of each runic energy line was constantly changing. In other words, the positions of the nine teleportation array platforms were constantly changing. For example, if one stepped onto the nearest teleportation array platform, they would be transported to the array platform next to it. However, if they stepped onto it earlier or later, they would be transported to another array platform.
If one didn’t find the pattern and stepped onto the teleportation array platform rashly, they would be transported to and fro by the nine array platforms and would never be able to leave the array platform.
In reality, this was also a trap array.
This kind of trapping formation that was created by using the teleportation formation stage was actually very simple to crack. All he had to do was destroy them.
However, there were rules on the stone tablet that did not allow any of the teleportation formation stages to be destroyed.
With this rule, the difficulty of cracking it was undoubtedly increased by countless times.
Although Yang Tian ‘saw’the runic energy lines that extended out from the teleportation formation stage, he was unable to find the pattern within.
This was because there were simply too many changes.
There were at least nine types of changes to the teleportation location of one of the teleportation array platforms. Adding up the changes of the nine teleportation array platforms, it was nine times nine, then times nine..
With the computational ability of the human brain, it was impossible to find and remember the pattern within.
Yang Tian observed for more than ten minutes, wanting to remember the pattern within. However, the more he memorized, the more he felt a headache, so he could only give up.
Yang Tian could not do it, but the strange program could.
This time, Yang Tian closed his eyes for a relatively long time, more than an hour.
Those who were watching the show were already impatient, but with Ku man standing by the side, they did not dare to speak.
Many people could not help but think that Yang Tian could only stop here.
Even so, many people were extremely impressed with Yang Tian. At such a young age, he was able to break through two levels in a row. If he cultivated in the Dao of runes for another tens or hundreds of years, his achievements would simply be limitless.
The dao of runes was very different from cultivation. On the path of cultivation, if one did not have outstanding talent, one could use hard work and time to make up for it.
However, the Dao of runes was different. One could not just work hard.
One’s talent in the Dao of runes could often be seen from a young age.
Yang Tian’s performance was said to be extremely talented in the Dao of runes.
Finally, Yang Tian opened his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up as a confident smile appeared on his face.
Ku Man couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he saw the expression on Yang Tian’s face.
At this moment, Yang Tian finally moved.
Everyone waited for more than an hour before they finally saw Yang Tian move.
Yang Tian walked slowly towards the leftmost teleportation array platform. His steps were very rhythmic, as if he was counting the time. The time used for the first step and the second step was almost the same.
In this one hour, the strange program had already found the pattern of the nine teleportation formation stages.
As he walked, Yang Tian calculated the time.
One step, two steps, three steps..
Some of the spectators began to Count Yang Tian’s steps.
Finally, Yang Tian stepped onto the teleportation formation stage.
The nine teleportation formation stages were all open. After Yang Tian stepped onto the teleportation formation stage, his figure suddenly disappeared.
When Yang Tian reappeared, he was already on the opposite side of the path.
Beside him, there was a stone pillar. This was the mechanism to close the nine maze stages. Yang Tian raised his hand and pressed it down.
The stone pillar moved, and the nine teleportation formation stages were extinguished at the same time.
“Dong… dong…”
When the nine maze stages were closed, two bell chimes sounded from the highest level of the Lamu Hall.
Ku Man looked at Yang Tian at this moment and his gaze became fiery. He thought to himself, “This youth must be brought back!”
She was glad that at this moment, there were no other people from the other divine halls present. Otherwise, they would compete with him again.
Ku Man did not want to come on this trip. He did not expect to meet such a symbol genius. To her, this trip was too worth it!
Ku Man wanted to bring Yang Tian back to the limitless divine hall, but he didn’t expect the youth named Mu Yi to be Yang Tian.
He didn’t know what expression she would have when she found out Yang Tian’s true identity..
Two bells rang in the Lamu Hall, finally attracting the attention of the Lamu clan’s patriarch.
Someone had actually broken through the third stage!
In the Lamu Hall, a skinny old man sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes.
At this moment, a series of dense footsteps sounded as twelve old men walked into the hall.
These people were all elders of the Lamu clan and had extremely high attainments in the field of runes.
The twelve of them were all dressed in black robes and had a head of white hair draped over their shoulders. After entering, they bowed to the clan leader and immediately sat down cross-legged.
This was a method used by the Lamu clan to wait for guests. If someone was able to break three rune arrays in half a day, the elders would appear and wait here.
Such a thing had happened several times in the past few hundred years.
However, after two bell tolls, there were no more three bell tolls. The elders could only leave helplessly.
Yang Tian broke three runic arrays in a row and two bell tolls rang out from the Lamu Hall. The bell tolls reverberated throughout the entire Lamu Mountain. Although they did not sound very loud, they attracted the attention of many people.
This was especially so for cultivators who specialized in runes. Almost all of them knew the meaning behind the two bells from the Lamu Mountain.
Hence, regardless of whether these people had just returned from extremely far away or were preparing to leave through the teleportation array on the Lamu Mountain, they all gathered towards the peak of the mountain at the same time.
This situation had already happened many times. The Lamu clan had long since come up with a way to deal with it. The fourth stage was in a square.
This square could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The fourth stage’s rune array did not need such a wide space. The reason why it was so wide was because it was prepared for the spectators.
Otherwise, when many cultivators crowded together, their tempers would be higher. It was inevitable that there would be fights. With the space being wide and the number of people scattered, this problem would not exist.
In less than five minutes, thousands of people gathered in the square.
With so many people watching, Yang Tian’s face remained calm. This made ku man even more satisfied with Yang Tian.
She felt that, at least at Yang Tian’s age, she could not remain calm even if she did such a thing and was watched by others.
Yang Tian did not care about the others. Even if ten times more people came, it would have nothing to do with him. Yang Tian had seen this kind of scene many times before.
Bewilderment killing array!
The fourth talisman array was called bewilderment killing array. It was built in the middle of the square and was as thick as hundreds of thighs. It was made up of stone pillars that were about one meter above the ground. The stone pillars were engraved with runes of different colors.
If one looked from the sky, they would see that these hundreds of stone pillars formed a spiral pattern.
Compared to the ninth array maze stage in the third stage, the bewilderment killing array was even more difficult to crack.
The array glyphs in the first three stages were all defensive array glyphs and would not attack the array breaker.
But the bewilderment killing array was different. Just by hearing its name, one would know that it was both a bewilderment array and a killing array. The stone tablet at the side reminded the array breaker that if they were trapped in the array and felt that they could not deal with it, they could raise their hands and the bewilderment killing array would naturally be removed.
Of course, this was also equivalent to admitting defeat.
Just like the previous three times, Yang Tian stood outside the array and closed his eyes, feeling the runic energy of this runic array.
In his mind, the runic energy of this runic array appeared once again.
Hundreds of stone pillars, each of which extended out countless tiny runic energy lines. They intertwined together without any pattern, looking like a mass of colorful mess.
At the same time, these energy lines were also changing. Not only were the colors changing, even the lines were moving.
So many!
The strange program told Yang Tian that in reality, these energy lines were a kind of camouflage energy lines, preventing the person who broke the runic array from seeing the real runic energy lines that formed the runic array.
Since it was impossible to see through them from the outside, then he could only enter the array to see.
Yang Tian closed his eyes and opened them again in less than five minutes.
Yang Tian gave the little azure dragon on his shoulder a look.
The little azure dragon understood Yang Tian’s meaning and immediately jumped down from Yang Tian’s shoulder and squatted beside Hui Woomiao.
Breaking this talisman array required a risk. Yang Tian didn’t want the little azure dragon to be in danger. Also, once he was trapped in the array, if he and the little azure dragon were separated by the Talisman Array, something even more troublesome would happen.
“AH, so fast!”
“That’s right! Could it be that this array formation is even simpler than the previous one?”
“Impossible! Otherwise, many people would have already passed the fourth stage.”
..
After passing the first three stages, everyone thought that Yang Tian would immediately know how to break the array formation the moment he closed his eyes. That was why there was such a discussion.
In the crowd, a white-bearded old man stroked his long beard and chuckled, he said, “That’s because this array needs to be broken inside. The outside of the array is like a shell. The person who designed this array is really amazing!”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone beside him asked, “How did you know?”
The old man smiled and said, “Because this old man had once broken through this array and nearly died inside. Even now, this old man still doesn’t have complete confidence. It’s too amazing! “You can’t break it from the outside, but once you enter the array, you’ll be attacked by the array glyph. You Won’t have the time to break it.”
After the Little Azure Dragon left, Yang Tian took a step forward and walked into the stone pillar without hesitation.
In everyone’s eyes, Yang Tian disappeared after entering the stone pillar.
With the naked eye, one could not see what was happening inside the talisman array. This was also the strength of this talisman array. If these stone pillars were set up in an extremely secretive manner, cultivators who did not understand the runes would not even know how they died.
After Yang Tian stepped through the gap between the two stone pillars, the scene before his eyes changed.
The light disappeared, the air disappeared, and he could not breathe. He could not even see his fingers.
“Whoosh”
Suddenly, the sound of wind could be heard.
A sharp metal arrow shot towards Yang Tian. Yang Tian had spiritual power, so he was not affected by the light. He tilted his head and dodged the metal arrow.
The situation at the periphery clearly appeared in his mind.
What surprised Yang Tian was that he was able to ‘see’the surrounding stone pillars using his spiritual power. These stone pillars were arranged in the same manner as the ones he saw outside the array.
To put it bluntly, this array was actually an illusory array. The illusory array was mainly used to confuse people through their senses. Yang Tian’s five senses were all affected by the illusory array.
However, his spiritual energy was not affected by this type of runic energy. Or perhaps, it had an extremely small effect on his spiritual energy.
There were many metal arrows, and Yang Tian continuously dodged them.
He had no choice but to dodge.
Although it was an illusory formation, there was reality within the illusion. Although these metal arrows were fake and not real metal, they were formed from runic energy, and their destructive power was even stronger than the real metal arrows.
Since he had ‘seen’the stone pillar, if he destroyed one of the stone pillars, this runic formation would naturally be broken.
However, Yang Tian was unwilling to do so.
He wanted to use runes to break the talisman array.
Otherwise, what was the point?
As he continuously dodged, Yang Tian realized that his mental energy seemed to have undergone some sort of change.
At the very least, before he possessed this new physical body, his mental energy was unable to clearly see the carrier of the talisman array in the illusory formation.
A healthy person’s body’s energy was maintained in a balanced state. If one type of energy changed, the other type of energy would also change. If they lost their balance, they would fall ill and die.
The reason why the mental energy had changed was definitely due to the strange program. The rune information was also a type of energy. When this type of energy entered Yang Tian’s body, the other types of energy in Yang Tian’s body would also be affected, there would be a change.
Of course, this was only Yang Tian’s guess.
“I think we can use a new method to coordinate.”While Yang Tian was rapidly dodging, the strange program suddenly said.
“What method?”Yang Tian immediately asked.
The strange program said, “Previously, I was the one who completely controlled your body. Now, I’ll change it to partial control!”
“Will this work?”Yang Tian asked.
Every part of the human body was controlled by the brain. To put it bluntly, the meaning of the strange program was that it took over a part of Yang Tian’s brain’s nervous system and reached a state where you had me and I had you.
This was equivalent to a preliminary fusion between Yang Tian and the strange program.
After figuring this out, Yang Tian was a little worried. He and the strange program were two different living beings. Their consciousness would definitely not be able to truly fuse together.
He did not have to worry that he would become another person after the fusion. What Yang Tian was worried about was whether his consciousness would be damaged in the event of an accident.
A physical injury could be recovered. If his consciousness was damaged, he did not know what to do.
The relationship between a person’s consciousness and his physical body was equivalent to the operating system of a computer and a mainframe. A computer without an operating system was no different from a piece of scrap metal.
