Chapter 342 The Function of the Earth Core Bead, Preparing for a Breakthrough
The Earth Core Bead, as recorded in ancient books, is the heart of the earth. It is extremely rare but of no use to cultivators.
It helps consolidate the earth, stabilize its fortune, and nail it to the ground.
In fact, consolidating momentum and determining fortune are easy to understand. Mountains have their own momentum, rivers have their own momentum, and all things in the world have "momentum". It is a recognized fact in the practice world that cultivators practice by using the momentum of all things in nature. Consolidating momentum and determining fortune are just what their words mean. They make the terrain here stable and unchanging, and the fortune condensed and undispersed.
As for "nailing the ground", it is actually not that rare. The world of Fuyao is very vast, and there are many secret realms. Some of the secret realms will constantly move and change their positions.
Some big forces have independent secret realms, such as the Wanji Secret Realm of Jiuxiang Temple and the Datian Realm of Mu Mansion, and they live in them for a long time. Naturally, they cannot let the secret realms flow, so they need to use means to nail them down somewhere.
This is what is called nailing the ground. It is worth mentioning that there are many ways to nail the ground, and it is not just the secret realm that will move. Mountains, rivers, seas, and nothing in the world is constant. As time goes by, the position of everything will change, either fast or slow.
The existence of the Earth Core Pearl can completely isolate this situation.
The fight between Li Changxiao and Bai Shengyi was actually just a split second, almost a face-to-face encounter, but he was still paying attention to the Earth Core Bead.
This pearl must be born naturally. Once it takes effect, the terrain will stop changing and enter a "solidified" state.
However, near the Earth Core Bead, there are some profound array patterns, which seem to be intentionally arranged by ancient powerful beings to suppress its effects. If the "heart" stops beating, it is equivalent to entering a state of stagnation.
However, due to the depletion of spiritual energy, the formation lost its use, and the "heart" of the Earth Core Bead began beating again, fixing the terrain of the Endless Forest at the early stage of the depletion of spiritual energy.
The terrain is different from the spiritual energy. After the spiritual energy was exhausted, a large number of cultivators died in the long river of history, but the terrain remains.
There are still some means related to the terrain that can be used. For example, Li Shanhe's Mountains and Rivers as Eyes, within the territory of Lingtian Dynasty, it seems to have divine consciousness, which is quite terrifying.
Li Changxiao is not a person who likes to be entangled.
Since he was teleported so far away, he didn't think about what was happening over there. Anyway, if the sky fell, there would be a tall man to hold it up. Su Qingmei, the lord of Fuyao Holy Land, was still in Luohe City. She must have noticed that Wu Jinsen was making such a big move.
What Li Changxiao was more interested in was the reason why he was teleported repeatedly.
He took out the relics of the Qianqing Sect's ancestor from the dream space: a book on visualization, a book on formations, and a book on body refining techniques.
He first looked at the Formation Record. Although the other two books were more useful to him, this Formation Record was the life's work of the Qianqing Sect's ancestor.
Li Changxiao had some knowledge of formations before. He could set up some simple spirit gathering formations, concealment formations, and killing formations, but he was not very proficient in them. It was not because he lacked talent in this area, or that he did not pay enough attention to formations. On the contrary, his talent in this area seemed to be quite good. With the help of formations and the combination of dream techniques, he avoided many crises and successfully killed many powerful enemies. However, the formation was like the List of Three Thousand Sword Intents, and was almost never passed on to outsiders.
The first time Li Changxiao read this kind of top-notch book, he felt it was obscure and difficult to understand, like a heavenly book.
However, although he had not learned much about the formation, he did discover some highlights in it.
The first half of this book on formations records various formations. They are so imaginative and have dazzling effects that one cannot help but sigh at the outstanding talent of the ancestor of the Qianqing Sect in the art of formations.
In the middle stage, the formations he studied were simplified, and he studied large-scale formations of defense and killing.
In the end, he changed his direction and began to study the teleportation array and the transformation array...
At the end, he even vaguely touched upon a certain realm of formation.
The formation he set up could even faintly escape from the spiritual energy.
"Escaped from the spiritual energy formation?"
Li Changxiao murmured.
Perhaps I was teleported away by this kind of teleportation array that does not rely on spiritual energy.
However, the location of the teleportation array should be fixed.
Li Changxiao closed the book.
At this point, the matter has come to an end for him.
He stretched, lay on the grass, pulled out a dogtail grass and held it in his mouth.
He gradually felt the undercurrent behind this.
The Extreme Evil Sect, the Endless Forest...The Mermaid Tribe, the Primordial World, the Extreme Flower Sect, the Immortal Pollen.
He was not in the game, but he was wandering around during the long years and happened to see the tip of the iceberg.
He had never really joined the game, but if you say that he was completely detached from the world and lived a free and happy life, that was not necessarily the case. He just had a long life. In the final analysis, he was always one of the thousands of cultivators.
"That's all."
"It's almost a breakthrough, let's think about how to break through."
Li Changxiao waved his hand, dispelling all his thoughts.
Before he knew it, he was about to break through again.
……
On the eve of each breakthrough, Li Changxiao was very conflicted. The location of the breakthrough was very important to him. The blessings of heaven and earth were secondary. After all, it was difficult to bring blessings to a breakthrough in such a small realm. The key was that he was not sure how long he would need to sleep for this breakthrough. He needed to sleep comfortably. In addition, he needed a place with certain yin energy and feng shui that could nourish the soul.
So he started looking around again, or more accurately, wandering around. While searching for a breakthrough point, he found himself teleported to the Mysterious Realm.
The Red Domain is one of the four northern domains, and the Black Domain is one of the four southern domains, and it is almost the southernmost domain. The distance between the two is so far that mortals cannot reach them even in several lifetimes. However, he crossed such a long distance in just a moment of distraction. It is really incredible. Even if the spiritual energy is not exhausted, there are only a handful of teleportation arrays that can achieve this level, and each time it is used, a huge amount of spirit stones are required as a source of power.
They are only used as emergency measures.
As the saying goes, one might as well make the best of it. Li Changxiao recalled the special places in this mysterious domain and visited them one by one. He went to several scenic spots and historical sites. Under the pretext of looking for a breakthrough site, he traveled around for a while. However, a suitable breakthrough site was not so easy to find.
However, God will not let down those who work hard. One day, he met a group of tomb robbers in a tavern. There were seven of them in total. The leader was a black market businessman who was on the road of stealing lives, known as the Black Boss. They had recently accidentally set their eyes on a large tomb in an extremely remote place and were preparing to dig into it.
I heard that it was some ancient royal family’s tomb.
Li Changxiao happened to hear it, so he came up with a plan. The place where people were buried was a Feng Shui treasure land. Maybe if he went to take a look, he could find a suitable place to break through. So he made up an identity and joined the tomb-robbing gang.
In the early morning, a group of people prepared shovels, hemp ropes and other tools, and rode their horses to the depths of the wilderness. This trip really opened Li Changxiao's eyes.
