Chapter 1706 Uphill Stone Path

Half a quarter later, the two on the chessboard have already walked more than ten steps, one behind the other.

The old man's chess skills are extremely advanced, he launched a siege to Zu Liming's white chess on the whole chessboard.

Under such pressing pressure, Zu Liming's white chess looked extremely embarrassed, lingering on his last breath.

Zu Liming's chess strength is obviously also extremely deep, not just like Jing Zimo and others, who only knows how to use exhaustive methods to deduce countermeasures.

He has extremely advanced skills, and has initially integrated the skills into his consciousness.

The old man's move speed was even faster, and after about half an hour, the two of them had gone through more than thirty moves.

The situation is initially formed.

Under the madness of the black chess pieces, although the white pieces are at a disadvantage, they still stand firm.

At this time, the chess game stopped.

Zu Liming stood up and saluted the old man again, the old man nodded slightly, Zu Liming turned and left, went straight out of Tingyu Tower from the rear, stepped on the stone path and went up the mountain.

Ye Tian raised his brows slightly. It seemed that the first round of Luo Tian's three rounds just stopped at the beginning.

After Zu Liming left, the black and white pieces on the chessboard flew back to the chessman automatically, and a new person walked into the Tingyu Tower.

That is also a cultivator from Xingluo City, only asking about the peak cultivation level, which is much worse than Zu Liming.

However, that person obviously had already responded to the first game. Although judging from the situation after the start of the game, both his chess strength and mental strength were much worse than Zu Liming's, but he was still in the black chess. Under the same attack as before, he defended the situation, passed the first pass, and walked up the stone path and up the mountain through Tingyu Tower.

Afterwards, many different monks took turns entering the Tingyu Building like a revolving lantern.

By this time, Ye Tian already knew that this first level should be prepared to test the skill at the opening level.

As long as you successfully open up some situations under the siege of the old man, you will be considered a pass.

That is to say, the big picture.

So far, most of the participants have passed successfully, but there are also losers.

There is a disciple who is said to be from one of the seven main cities outside Xingluo City. His cultivation base is in the late stage of Youwen, and he is obviously quite prepared. Under his sharp attack, he was defeated at the beginning, and was finally stopped in front of the Tingyu Tower.

Of course, in general, this level should be considered relatively low difficulty, just a preliminary screening.

When the pass rate is so high that it has lost the meaning of comparison, people subconsciously use the time to pass the first round as a consideration of pros and cons.

Except for a few people who failed to pass, most of the other participants took about an hour to pass. Among them, Zu Liming and a disciple from the main city who asked for the peak had the shortest time, less than half an hour.

At this time, there were only a group of casual practitioners left for the participants who had not yet entered the Tingyu Building.

"Let me do it." Ye Tian didn't have the habit of being the last to appear on the stage. In his opinion, it would be a waste of his time, so he nodded to Nanyao without hesitation, and went straight forward.

But at this time, other people seem to have the same plan and are going to enter the Tingyu Building.

It is the real immortal stage loose cultivator named Zuo Yushan.

"Why is it you?" Zuo Yushan looked at Ye Tian who suddenly stepped forward, frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at Nan Yao.

The rest of the people in the room were also a little puzzled.

Just now Nan Yao was not afraid of Zu Liming, and even fought directly, and the elders of Xingluo City stopped the two of them.

The image of Nanyao's strength and tough personality has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the venue. Everyone subconsciously thinks that Nanyao will definitely participate in the third game of Luotian.

And Ye Tian, ​​who has always been unknown by the side, has been subconsciously misunderstood by people as Nan Yao's entourage, just like Lu Yuanzhou is to Zu Liming.

It turned out that Ye Tian stepped forward, as if he was about to enter the Tingyu Tower to participate in the third round of Na Luotian, while Nan Yao remained motionless and indifferent.

"Is there a problem?" Ye Tian smiled and said lightly.

"Fellow Daoist, come first," Zuo Yushan shook his head, took a deep look at Nan Yao behind him, and made a gesture of invitation.

Obviously, Zuo Yushan was able to give up and had such an attitude towards Ye Tian, ​​obviously because of Nanyao's face and fear of Nanyao's existence.

Even if Zuo Yushan is a well-known strongman in Xingluo City and even a large area around it, but compared to Zu Liming, no matter in terms of fame, background, or talent, he is inferior.

And Nanyao dared to openly challenge the existence of Zu Liming in Xingluo City.

"So Ms. Nanfeng is afraid, she became a turtle and pushed out her followers?" Ye Tian was just about to take a step when another voice came from behind.

It was Lu Yuanzhou who spoke.

"Just now I boasted about Haikou's confrontation with Mr. Zu, but in the blink of an eye she is hiding and covering up. Such behavior is really ridiculous and contemptible!" Lu Yuanzhou said with a sneer.

"Deacon Lu is right, they should be scared!"

"Just now, when facing grandpa's yelling, I went forward bravely, but when I turned around, I found that I had caused a catastrophe!"

"Maybe this person may escape while others are not prepared!"

Obviously, in the eyes of everyone around at this time, what Lu Yuanzhou said made sense. They looked at Nan Yao and Ye Tian, ​​and talked a lot.

"Looking for death!" Nan Yao's complexion sank, she stared at Lu Yuanzhou and snorted coldly: "Are I afraid, you can try it yourself!"

While speaking, Lu Yuanzhou was enveloped by a cold aura and killing intent.

Lu Yuanzhou was just asking about his cultivation. In front of Nanyao, he had no strength to fight back. He trembled and felt a strong crisis explode in his mind.

Lu Yuanzhou's pupils constricted, and amidst the feeling from Nanyao, he clearly felt that Nanyao really dared to kill him on the spot.

"You think that I, Xingluo City, really have nothing to do with you. If Grandpa Zu hadn't told Luo Tian to kill you himself after three rounds, I, the strong Xingluo City, would have eliminated you long ago!" Lu Yuanzhou gritted his teeth and said.

"If you don't dare to do it now, get out!" Nan Yao didn't care about Lu Yuanzhou's threat at all, and waved her hand, Lu Yuanzhou's body retreated more than ten feet violently.

Lu Yuanzhou took a deep look at Nan Yao, hiding his killing intent and resentment in his eyes.

"And you guys, if you want to say anything, come and say it in front of me!" Nan Yao looked around proudly.

In the eyes of everyone around, Nanyao was extremely arrogant, like a mad dog. Lu Yuanzhou of Xingluo City endured it. After Luo Tian's three rounds, someone would naturally deal with her, so now everyone has calmed down. People are willing to stand out.

"Okay," Ye Tian said softly to Nan Yao.

Nan Yao nodded, and said no more, but her indifferent and proud eyes kept sweeping back and forth.

"Peace is the most important thing." Then, Ye Tian smiled and looked at the people around him, and said seriously: "She won't participate in Luo Tian's third game..."

"...I'm enough."

Ye Tian was telling the truth, he had his own needs to enter Luo Tian's third game, but Nan Yao didn't.

After speaking, he turned around and entered the Tingyu Tower.

But these words fell into the ears of Lu Yuanzhou and the rest of the people present, but the meaning was obviously different, as if Nan Yao didn't need to do anything at all.

The surprise in people's hearts is beyond words. They all thought that Nanyao was already proud enough, flamboyant enough, and arrogant enough. They didn't expect that this unknown young man, who had always looked gentle and peaceful, was even more proud than Nanyao when he said it , more arrogant.

But Ye Tian no longer paid attention to these things. After entering the Tingyu Building, he finally saw the old man in front of the chessboard.

The old man's front looks quite ordinary, but he is a little too old, with extremely long white eyebrows, trembling down from the sides, like dry grass in the cold wind.

Out of etiquette, he bowed his fists, the old man nodded, and Ye Tian sat opposite the chessboard.

Ye Tian has observed clearly the chessboard that is much larger than normal in the previous observation, although because of the enlargement of the chessboard and the increase of chess moves, the established formulas he mastered basically lose their effectiveness, and this depends on the specific chess strength and on-the-spot situation. played.

But after actually getting involved in the chess game, Ye Tian still found something strange.

Following the moves, Ye Tian felt that his mental strength gradually spread and dispersed in the process of gradually thinking about the current situation on the chessboard.

This is just the beginning.

With the progress of the chess game, every move, the mental power is subdivided again.

Not only Ye Tian's mental power will be dispersed when he falls by himself, but every time the old man's sunspot falls, his mental power will also be dispersed.

When the two of them reached more than thirty hands, Ye Tian's mental power had been dispersed to a terrifyingly huge number.

Ye Tian seemed to understand what the purpose of the first round of Luo Tian's three rounds was.

For distraction.

Layout, that is, distraction.

Before encountering the monster Nanfeng, Ye Tian was able to unleash hundreds of millions of infinite swords and seas of swords. This is Ye Tian's own powerful strength as a background, but it is also distracting.

Obviously, the current Ye Tian has surpassed this level by a lot.

Therefore, this level is not difficult for Ye Tian.

His drop speed is also extremely fast.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the old man on the opposite side placed the chess pieces on the edge of the chessboard.

Ye Tian knew that it wasn't that the opponent was admitting defeat, but that the layout of the first level had already passed.

Ye Tian stood up and bowed to the old man with fists in his hands, turned around and walked out of Tingyu Tower, stepped on the stone path, and walked up the mountain.

But in front of Ting Yulou, there was already a burst of surprise.

"A quarter of an hour! So fast!?"

"It's unbelievable, Mr. Zu Liming spent half an hour!"

"Could it be that this talent is deeply hidden?!"

During the discussion, people had already become curious about Ye Tian, ​​seeing that Nanyao, who had been sitting motionless and resting with eyes closed, wanted to inquire, but was afraid of Nanyao and did not dare to act.

"Fellow Daoist, you seem to know that person, what are their backgrounds?" Someone approached Jing Zimo and the others and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Mu is really good at chess," Jing Zimo said, "We have met with fellow Daoist Lin Mu before, and we have played a game of chess."

Hearing Jing Zimo's words, people around looked over one after another.

"However, his speed is so fast, it should be because of his ability to do whatever he wants." Jing Zimo said seriously.

Brother Lin Zhu and Lin Yu next to him also nodded in sympathy.

"At that time, his opponent was fellow Daoist Lin Zhu, and in the end he was defeated by fellow Daoist Lin Zhu." Jing Zimo pointed at Lin Zhu again.

When people looked at Lin Zhu, most of them could tell that Lin Zhu's cultivation was only in the middle stage of asking questions, and with Jing Zimo's words, they immediately lost interest.

Even the monks in the mid-term of the question can't play, so what if he only took half a quarter of an hour?

"So that's just a coincidence."

"Fortunately, I thought this person might be extraordinary. It turns out that a stone is just a stone after all, and it is impossible to become a rough jade!"

"The first round of Luo Tian's three rounds has nothing to do with hard power. It's mainly about planning and distracting. If he is really opportunistic in his moves, he will indeed have a chance to pass at an extremely fast speed."

"It seems that it still depends on the grandfather."

"There is also Zhou Biling from Tianji City. Her cultivation is only at the peak of Daoist, but she spent the same time as Mr. Zu. She is a real genius!"

...

After stepping on the stone path, Ye Tian suddenly felt a slight sinking under his feet.

At the same time, there was also a feeling of being burned by flames above the soul.

Just now in Tingyu Building, in that game of chess, mental power was scattered in countless parts in the chess game, and the feeling of being burned by flames was clearly applied to each part of spiritual power. .

When the spiritual power is condensed into one body, there will naturally be 100% energy on it.

When it is divided into two parts, naturally each part only has half of its energy left.

Divide again, and only a quarter of the energy is left.

If this continues to be repeated, the energy will be divided into countless parts.

When a limit is reached, continue to disperse the mental power, and every part of it will start to have no time to take care of it.

If Ye Tian used all his strength, the degree of dispersion would be enough to approach infinity. But in that case, it would definitely be impossible to control every piece, just like when he cast Wuji Sword Sea.

When he was distracted while passing the chess game just now, Ye Tian's mental power was far from being distracted to the limit.

He also maintains a certain degree of control over each piece, which is the result of Ye Tian's previous ability and his understanding of Nanfeng.

Under the burning of the invisible flame, amidst the bursts of severe stinging pain, Ye Tian soon felt that the mental power that had been divided into countless parts before, and the spiritual power that he had no control over, began to gradually produce feelings, gradually In his perception, it became clear.

Feeling is the beginning of control!

This seemingly ordinary stone path can actually temper one's mental abilities so much!

With every step forward, this burning power becomes clearer.

Every step forward, Ye Tian's control over those scattered mental powers will increase by one point.

Ye Tian stepped forward on the stone steps, and soon saw a figure in front of him.

That was the man who passed Tingyulou before him.

The man walked very slowly, very strenuously, like an old man in his twilight years climbing a mountain with difficulty, every step fell heavily, and it took a very long time to take the next step.

It can be seen that his whole body is trembling slightly, his face is pale, his eyes are bloodshot, his breathing is heavy, and his expression is full of pain.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Tian, ​​who stepped on this stone path through Tingyu Tower before Ye Tian, ​​was able to be overtaken by Ye Tian so easily.

Obviously, it should be the burning of spiritual power on the stone path that limited his forward speed.

In contrast, Ye Tian could feel the burning because Ye Tian's mental power was divided into countless parts.

Ye Tian continued to walk along the stone path, and when he came behind the man, he had perfect control over the scattered mental power.

In other words, if there are 100,000 parts of mental power scattered by Ye Tian, ​​he can cast 100,000 Promise Swords, and can perfectly control these 100,000 Promise Swords at the same time.

Of course, the amount of Ye Tian's scattered mental power is still far away from his limit, so after the current control has been perfected, Ye Tian almost immediately dispersed his mental power again.

The burning tingling sensation came again.

And because the number of dispersal has increased exponentially this time, the degree of pain has also increased accordingly.

Ye Tian frowned slightly, but his footsteps did not stop at all, and he continued to walk forward.

Don't look at Ye Tian's current reaction is not big, but in fact, because Ye Tian scattered too much mental power, his pain has increased to a very terrifying level.

With the current degree of Ye Tian's suffering, if it directly acts on the person who is slowly advancing in front, it will directly burn his soul and die on the spot.

Of course, comparing Ye Tian with this person is already an outrageous behavior.

The stronger the mental strength, the weaker the pain should be.

If Ye Tian stepped on the stone path with the level of mental strength needed to disperse through the Tingyu Tower, he would not feel the slightest pain.

But Ye Tian's goal is not to simply pass through the stone path, but to achieve the purpose of controlling those scattered spiritual powers, so Ye Tian's weight is increasing exponentially.

He is not fighting against Shi Jing, but fighting against himself.

...

Li Shang took a deep breath and clenched his teeth in pain.

The intense pain in the soul came wave after wave, like a never-ending violent sea, wanting to swallow the small boats on the sea madly.

And Li Shang felt that he was that small boat, which was in danger.

The huge pressure on Shenhun made his brain fall into a state of dizziness, and the dense black spots in front of his eyes flickered frantically.

After taking a step, it took him almost a quarter of an hour to find the direction of the stone path under his feet amidst the brilliant stars in the sky, and stepped on it.

And when this step was stepped on, the pressure increased again, making his eyes dark again, and he tried his best not to fall down, and maintained his standing posture.

Li Shang didn't dare to neglect, and started the long and difficult adaptation again.

After resting for half his salary, his sanity became clearer. He didn't rush to take the next step, because he knew that if he took the next step in this state, he would definitely be unable to persist.

He needs to rest, he needs to adjust, and he needs to adapt his mental strength to a certain limit under the current pressure before considering other things.

At this time, Li Shang suddenly felt the sound of light footsteps in his ears.

Is it the footsteps of death?

Li Shang wondered if he had hallucinations. If it was normal, Li Shang would definitely scoff at this thought. After all, he is also a powerful monk in the enlightenment period, and he can be regarded as a strong man wherever he goes in the outside world.

It's a pity that this is now in the Luotian Conference. In the three rounds of Luotian, everything can be explained.

Originally, people thought that the first game was very simple, but in fact, the combination of the chess game outside and the stone path under the feet at this time was the real first game.

Walking through the entire stone path and reaching the Tingfeng Tower on the mountainside, you have passed the first level.

As expected of Luo Tian's three rounds, the loser will lose his life.

And the mental power of the successful ones is increased countless times, and they get the cultivation method of Xingluo Sword Formation.

The harvest is always directly proportional to the effort.

While Li Shang was thinking, he felt that the footsteps were getting closer.

Isn't it hallucination?

This idea just flashed into my mind, when suddenly a breeze blew by, a figure in a white Taoist robe walked freely, with his hands behind his back, while looking up at the surrounding scenery, he walked past him, towards go forward.

The white figure was almost step by step, the pause in the middle was extremely small, and it looked extremely smooth and natural.

The most important thing is that after surpassing him, the other party turned around and took a look at him!

Under the strong pressure of Li Shang's mental strength, his vision was so blurred that he couldn't see the other person's face clearly. He could barely make out the other person's face. He didn't go back and went up.

Li Shang was stunned, standing with his hands down, feeling his breath stagnate, and his spirit almost collapsed on the spot. It took a lot of effort to recover and stabilize my mind.

"He, who is he?!"

"What is this doing?!"

The white figure quickly disappeared from his field of vision and entered the vast cloud and mist ahead.

...

Ye Tian moved forward all the way, while constantly increasing the amount of scattered mental power.

The number of scattered mental power has been increasing, the stone path is getting higher and higher, and the coercion brought by it is also increasing, so the speed of controlling it has also been maintained in a stable situation.

As for the pain that was also increasing all the time, Ye Tian had forcibly endured it.

With Ye Tian's mental strength, if he is not for training, he will fight against himself. If the mental power is gathered in one place, I am afraid that the pressure on the stone path can be directly destroyed.

Ye Tian maintained a steady speed, with his hands behind his back, he walked steadily forward step by step, and soon, he surpassed another person.
