NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 548: Stealing a chicken but losing the rice!
It is not that easy to set up a [Ten Directions Absolute Forbidden] formation that can surround the entire Donglin County.
You know, the area of Donglin County is not inferior to that of the Divine Extreme Land, with a radius of nearly 10 million square kilometers.
In order to set up a [Ten Directions Absolute Forbidden] that isolates the inside and the outside, the Immortal Alliance coalition included the entire Donglin County in it, and secretly prepared for nearly ten years.
Liu Zimo also picked up a ready-made advantage and directly seized the control of [Ten Directions Absolute Forbidden], and then upgraded and strengthened it many times, which resulted in the current extremely powerful Ten Absolute Barrier.
Otherwise, if he was allowed to set up the formation on flat ground without any preparation, not to mention that the materials for the formation were difficult to collect, it would take a long time just to engrave the formation pattern.
Therefore, when he saw that Ji Wenchang actually chose to set up another [Ten Directions Absolute Forbidden] outside Donglin County and wanted to break the formation with a formation, Liu Zimo was not worried at all.
Because even for a true immortal like Ji Wenchang, it would take at least ten days and a half a month to set up such a huge formation outside Donglin County.
In this way, his plan to use the Ten Absolute Barriers to delay Ji Wenchang from finding his traces was completed.
Half a month later, when Ji Wenchang, who had gone through a lot of hard work and finally broke through the [Ten Directions Absolute Forbidden], entered the territory of Donglin County, he found that the person he wanted to find was not there at all. I think the expression on his face must be very good.
Swish!
Liu Zimo's mind was retracted and it was silent again.
Ji Wenchang did not need him to pay special attention to it for the time being. What he had to do now was to take advantage of this half a month or so to superimpose the Extreme Sword Intent to the seventh level.
At the same time, he could not give up the further struggle for the control of the star core.
Every more control he fought for here would weaken Ji Wenchang's cultivation strength.
After completely refining and fusing the Chaos Star Vein, his speed of absorbing and refining the power of the stars increased by five times.
Just now, he had unknowingly advanced his control over the star core by one percent.
One percent may not seem like much, but this is only the result of his practice in less than three days!
Compared to Ji Wenchang's average refining efficiency of one percent control every million years, Liu Zimo's efficiency has skyrocketed, right?
"It's already eleven percent!"
"Daoyou Liu, you have to be careful next, because if you continue to refine, it will conflict with the eighty-nine percent control control controlled by Ji Wenchang!"
"Snatching food from the tiger's mouth will inevitably cause Ji Wenchang's vigilance and violent rebound!"
"However, I can guarantee that as long as I am still here, I will never let Ji Wenchang use the perception authority of the star core to search for Daoyou Liu's specific hiding place!"
Daoxuan's voice sounded faintly in Liu Zimo's ears. Obviously, he was also paying attention to the power struggle between Liu Zimo and Ji Wenchang.
However, he has now formed an alliance with Liu Zimo, so naturally he has to fully support Liu Zimo.
Seeing that Liu Zimo has successfully mastered the 11% of authority that Ji Wenchang has not had time to control in such a short time, Daoxuan's confidence in Liu Zimo has also increased a little.
He is now betting all his money on Liu Zimo, and naturally hopes that Liu Zimo can surpass Ji Wenchang and successfully become the next star master of the extraordinary star field!
"Thank you!"
Liu Zimo separated a divine thought and expressed his gratitude to Daoxuan.
The problem he was most worried about before was that once he mastered too much star field control authority, Ji Wenchang would roughly sense his location information through the cause and effect induction between the authorities.
In that case, he would lose his most proficient stealth advantage and would have to stand in the open in advance to confront Ji Wenchang.
Daoxuan's promise just now undoubtedly relieved Liu Zimo's worries.
However, out of caution, Liu Zimo still did not completely relax his vigilance.
In the area where he was in seclusion, he not only arranged a small set of [Yin Yang Mutual Refusal Locking God Array] and [Ten Directions Absolute Forbidden] to cover up his breath, but also used the magical power of time and space to engrave three teleportation arrays leading to different directions.
Once he found any disturbance, he could teleport away at the first time.
Daoxuan naturally noticed his little movements, but did not say much.
In fact, if Liu Zimo did nothing and really trusted him as an ally and put all his hopes on him, Daoxuan would not be happy, but extremely disappointed.
How could a guy who had no opinions of his own, naively believed in anyone, and even handed his life to an ally he had just met for less than three days be a match for a sinister and cunning person like Ji Wenchang?
You know, even Daoxuan became weak and helpless under Ji Wenchang's step-by-step pressure, hiding like a stray dog.
If Liu Zimo really put all his hopes on him, a loser, he would end up following in his footsteps.
Therefore, seeing that Liu Zimo did not fully believe in him and was only using him as an auxiliary tool, Daoxuan felt that Liu Zimo had a better chance of being able to survive to the end.
Seeing that Liu Zimo fell silent again, Daoxuan stopped talking and just kept mobilizing the power of the stars to flow towards Liu Zimo to help him quickly strengthen his star body and better compete for control of the star field.
In this way, five days flew by.
On the morning of the sixth day, Liu Zimo suddenly trembled and woke up from the silence with a bit of joy in his eyes.
"Twelve percent!"
There was a hint of joy in Liu Zimo's voice, and he was in a beautiful mood.
"In just five days, I forcibly seized one percent of the star domain control authority from Ji Wenchang!"
"This is many times faster than I expected!"
It was originally thought that the remaining 89% of control authority was firmly in Ji Wenchang's hands. It would be extremely difficult to compete for it by refining the power of the stars.
As a result, it only took five days to get the first one percent, which was beyond Liu Zimo's expectation.
"Is it so fast?"
Daoxuan also sensed it immediately, and his face was also full of surprise and surprise.
"No, Ji Wenchang is not a novice who knows nothing. With his understanding and control over the control authority of the star field, he should not lose 1% of the control authority so quickly!"
A hint of suspicion and confusion soon appeared in Daoxuan's eyes.
According to his previous calculations, if Liu Zimo could take away the first one percent control authority from Ji Wenchang within half a year, he would be considered extremely outstanding.
But now, only five days have passed. No matter how incredible Liu Zimo's talent potential is, it is unlikely that he can achieve this level in such a short period of time.
Therefore, there must be something fishy hidden in this!
It’s hard to say, it’s not necessarily a bait that Ji Wenchang deliberately released!
"Fellow Daoist Liu must not be careless. This one percent control authority is most likely a bait that Ji Wenchang deliberately released to test you!"
Daoxuan promptly reminded Liu Zimo:
"Think about it, it took you more than a month to seize the 11% control authority of the owner."
"And now, it only took five days to seize the one percent control authority that he had completely mastered from Ji Wenchang. Do you think this is normal?"
Of course this is not normal!
The smile on Liu Zimo's face faded slightly, he slowly turned his head to look at Daoxuan, and said softly:
"What fellow Taoist Daoxuan said is true. This was probably Ji Wenchang's deliberate act."
"However, even if we know it is bait, we have to eat it, right?"
Liu Zimo asked in reply, immediately leaving Daoxuan speechless.
Yes, even if they knew it was bait and a trap, wouldn't they just eat it?
impossible.
Whether it was Daoxuan or Liu Zimo, they actually had no way out at this time and could only bite the bullet and keep moving forward.
Regardless of whether the one percent control authority was a bait deliberately released by Ji Wenchang, or whether it was snatched by Liu Zimo based on his true ability, they had to take it down.
Because this is a life-and-death struggle.
If they want to survive and win the final victory, they must take back all control of the star field from Ji Wenchang's hands.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to give up any opportunity to regain control of the star field, even if they know it is a trap, even if it is only one percent.
While he was thinking about it, Daoxuan's mind suddenly trembled slightly, and then his expression changed.
"Sure enough, Ji Wenchang is using the star core authority to track and spy on the one percent control authority he just lost!"
"This is the bait he deliberately put out!"
As he spoke, the aura of the stars on Daoxuan's body suddenly released, and the endless power of law centered on him and quickly spread towards the stars on the earth under his feet.
After a moment, Liu Zimo saw that his entire figure seemed to have become much thinner and thinner.
You can see that in order to block Ji Wenchang's sensory exploration, Daoxuan was also extremely strenuous and spent a lot of his original power.
Liu Zimo didn't say much, but calmed down again, taking this opportunity to once again launch an attack on the 88% control authority controlled by Ji Wenchang.
This was not only a provocation and ridicule to Ji Wenchang, but also a plan to confuse his mood and delay his plan to break through the ten unique barriers in Donglin County.
At that time.
At the border of the east border county, Ji Wenchang, who was still trying to engrave the [Ten Directions Forbidden Formation], suddenly stopped and stopped his movements.
"You bastard, you are so brave, you dare to take advantage of anything!"
Ji Wenchang curled his lips and whispered to himself:
"You dare to eat the bait I deliberately threw out, and you're not afraid of bursting your belly?"
"Now let me take a good look at who you are!"
As he spoke, Ji Wenchang lightly pinched the magic formula with his right hand, and a ray of soul thought went straight into the core of the stars under his feet, quickly searching for the trace of control authority he had just deliberately released.
"Um?"
"What's going on? How come I can't sense the control authority I released at all?!"
"Hey, there is actually a special star fluctuation that is interfering with my soul exploration..."
"It's that old guy Daoxuan!"
"I really didn't expect that even Daoxuan, who has been forced to the end of his strength, can still affect the perception range of the star core authority!"
"That old thing Daoxuan has really completely surrendered to that bastard junior who wants to compete with me, and is always protecting him."
Ji Wenchang couldn't help but feel suffocated, and his brows began to frown slightly.
He really couldn't understand why Daoxuan, that old stubborn, didn't surrender to a stronger person like him, but chose that bastard junior whose cultivation was far inferior to his.
Is Daoxuan blind and deliberately against him, Ji?
Or is that bastard really so outstanding that he deserves Daoxuan's favor?
Ji Wenchang narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
He originally wanted to use the 1% control authority as bait to lure out the bastard junior who had been hiding in the dark, or at least make sure that the other party was within the Ten Absolute Barrier in front of him.
It would save him from spending so much effort to break through the Ten Absolute Barriers, but there was nothing inside, and there was no trace of that bastard junior. Wouldn't he have wasted several days in vain?
The idea was good, and the execution process was also smooth.
But the final result gave him a hard slap in the face.
He never thought that Daoxuan would actually keep such a trick, which directly made him lose the rice in the attempt to steal the chicken, and lost 1% of the control of the star field in vain!
"Huh?"
"This little bastard, he is so greedy and wants to take advantage of me?!"
"Do you really think I am a fool? It's not enough to be fooled once, and you will be fooled again?!"
Ji Wenchang was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, and his murderous intent rose.
If he couldn't really detect the other party's exact location, he really wanted to rush over and let the other party know why the flowers are so red!
"No, I really can't wait any longer. I must speed up the process of breaking the formation and quickly catch that bastard and kill him!"
"Otherwise, I will be destroyed by him sooner or later!"
Ji Wenchang's eyes were filled with evil, and he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.
It has only been a few days, and the other party has already occupied 12% of the star field control authority. If he is given more time, this number will definitely continue to grow. He really can't wait any longer.
While speaking, Ji Wenchang's hand engraving the formation speeded up again.
Now, he has every reason to suspect that the other party deliberately harassed and stimulated him in this way just to disturb his mind and slow down his speed of breaking through the Ten Absolute Barriers.
Doesn't this just show that the other party is very likely to be hidden in this Donglin County? (End of this chapter)
