Chapter 1013: Taixu Sword Formation, Horror Story

Three days after Jiang Yi witnessed the duel between the real and fake Albedo.

Jiang Yi's research is on the right track.

The first product he researched was "Poseidon Balsam".

This is a special refining item for the two-handed sword "Pearl-bearing Sea Emperor" that Ying obtained during the Liyue Lantern Festival event.

The golden-colored, richly scented paste in this glass bottle condenses the aura of life in the water.

If applied on the "Pearl-holding Sea Emperor", it can temper the unique-shaped sword to be tougher.

Jiang Yi analyzed the composition and formation of this "Sea Emperor Balsam", and then based on it, he used the power of the deep sea to obtain a trace of spiritual energy from aquatic life without harming the life of the aquatic life, and formulated a higher quality balsam.

All of these balsams were used to smear the Cang Hai Pearls. Therefore, although the twenty-four Cang Hai Pearls did not become tough due to their high quality, they suddenly became extremely rich in spirituality.

In the vast ocean inside, shadows of aquatic life appeared.

Each sea pearl is now like a crystal ball that condenses the scenery of the seabed.

Corals, fish, bright moon, mountains in the sea...

The Cang Hai Pearl is held in the hands of Bodhisattva Miao Ye, and it looks like twenty-four bright moons and twenty-four vast oceans, together forming the wonderful sight of "the bright moon on the sea rising with the tide".

Life and all things seem to be conceived in it, die in it, and be reborn in it.

The laws of life and death flow in the heart, improving little by little.

At the same time, the original stone whale left by Jiang Yi's "Shenhui Zhanyan" in the past is now stored in the twenty-four sea pearls, swimming in the twenty-four oceans.

It is not difficult for Jiang Yi to reforge a sword, but it is very difficult to forge a sword that carries all his power and can fight against the law of nature in the future.

Jiang Yi had hope for this original stone whale. He wanted a sword that was powerful enough, so he was willing to wait for the stone whale to transform into a sword embryo and give birth to the sword in his mind.

Now the sword embryo temporarily resides in the Cang Hai Pearl, connecting the twenty-four spiritually rich Cang Hai Pearls more closely, and transforming them into twenty-four immortal flying sword pills, temporarily serving as a weapon other than the Song of Wind and Flower.

The sword ball, with its center point, can shoot out sword energy in any direction outwards, with infinite changes, without beginning and without limit. Wherever the light shines, all surroundings are extinguished.

It is more agile than the sword and is more suitable for killing enemies, flying, and moving.

The twenty-four Canghai pearls formed the Taixu Sword Formation, which was extremely powerful whether for defense or for trapping and killing enemies.

The bright moon on the sea rises with the tide, which is also the most powerful killing move of the Taixu Sword Formation.

There are dazzling lights, mirages, real and fake illusions, schools of fish and sea beasts, stone whales and divine dragons...there are also storm tornadoes and the abyss of deep sea.

After mastering the four types of powers of earth, fire, water and wind, Jiang Yi had greater ambitions.

He looked expectant. "Use the twenty-four Canghai Pearls to evolve the twenty-four solar terms, take the God of Spring as the beginning of all things, comprehend spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and comprehend time in another grand and righteous way."

This is a road that requires observation and understanding year after year, but due to the influence of the elements, the solar terms of various countries in Teyvat are actually not quite right.

But if you cannot understand the time rules of Teyvat, then understand the time rules of your own world.

Control the flow of time within the body and the sword formation.

In this way, you can comprehend the Avenue of Teyvat and create your own rules at the same time to see which side can succeed faster.

So, go find the green fields among the holy relics, the vibrant flowers of spring, the feathers of spring, the sands of spring time, the cup of emptiness, the crown of reason, and the emerald shadow.

Find summer, autumn, winter, flowers, feathers, sand and cups, crowns.

It doesn’t have to be a real seasonal item, it can also be a holy relic that symbolizes the memory of that season.

For example, the fire of the summer festival and the cold of the snowy mountains, there are many more choices.

The green shadow, the meteor against the wind, the ancient rock, the lost warrior of the ice wind...

A soft sound.

Jiang Yichen looked at it and placed the two items in front of him.

One is an ancient ice hourglass with tiny ice crystals flowing inside.

Rumor has it that "the extreme cold of the northern glaciers is enough to freeze time", but in natural phenomena, even the most severe cold currents cannot freeze the eternal flow of time.

Therefore, Jiang Yi’s true meaning of time is just the true meaning, not the rules.

Time has meaning only when it flows. Stagnation of time and space is nothing but a world solidified like amber.

This time is the winter that Jiang Yi wants.

In his autumn, he used another sundial made of a guizhang wall.

A holy relic, the "Starry Sundial" that silently follows the sunlight and time.

The most noble and precious brown-gold color, the flawless artifact of nature that once fascinated a craftsman in Liyue,

The craftsman gave up his boyhood dream of studying scriptures and traveling to Mount Sumeru to cultivate great wisdom. He bid farewell to his master and changed his career to craftsmanship, challenging himself to become the owner of the tool made by nature.

That craftsman was Kunwu.

The ancestor of Kunjun.

The owner of that heavenly artifact is Emperor Rock King.

“The ancient and solid rocks will also collapse over a long period of time and turn into sand and dust.” Jiang Yi held the sundial carved from a whole piece of jade. The patterns on it were layered and silently recorded the lost time.

"Legend has it that the Lord of Rock once carved a star in the ground into a timekeeper to teach our ancestors the value of time."

"Emperor, time is money. I hope time can be controlled by me like Mora!"

Using the golden Mora as a catalyst, Jiang Yi devoured the holy relics one by one, devouring the memories inside the holy relics.

If it’s just the changes in climate from spring to summer, autumn to winter, it would be enough to use elements, but that would only have the surface and no substance, and it is still far from the rules of time.

The twenty-four solar terms, from the dragon raising its head to the dragon tailing, are the power of the Azure Dragon and Canglong constellations, and are the authority of "Lingweiyang" of the Cang Emperor and Mu Emperor of the Five Gods, the next realm that Jiang Yi has predetermined.

But if you don’t comprehend a little bit of the law of time in advance, how can you evolve power when you are promoted?

Inside the human body, the four seasons arrive.

But the years of understanding will inevitably be long.

then.

Jiang Yi took out the jade slip and said, "Mr. Zhongli, where did Liyue's calendar come from?"

The sudden change in painting style makes people laugh.

However, when you are undecided, it is much easier to ask someone for advice first than to bury your head in research.

……

Jiang Yi started taking online classes, and several other scheduled research topics were slightly postponed.

Ying and Paimon also came back from the event.

Paimon confidently told a horror story about an evil scholar who transformed many lizards, forcing them to painfully turn into human forms and ask passers-by who they are and who they are!

If the pedestrian answers incorrectly, he will be eaten by the trick flower.

The crowd reacted indifferently.

"What? Not scary at all?" Paimon said angrily.

"If I were asked this question, I would answer that you are a 1.2-meter-tall little Lolita with white hair, red eyes, and a flowery dress, and you listen to me very much!" Jiang Yi held the beaker and mixed the potion, "And give her a piece of sweet candy when she pounces on me."

Ying hadn't been shocked by Jiang Yi's actions for a long time, but today Jiang Yi refreshed it again.

"As expected of you. You're really a pervert." She put her hands on her hips and said, "I think we should call the Knights of Favonius. Someone here is ready to attack Hana-chan."

"What! This is a horror story, a horror story." Paimon was extremely annoyed. "How can it have soft and cute light novel elements!"

"Later, Pianpianhua followed her back to the city, and soon there were a large group of little girls with white hair and red eyes in the city. All of them could breathe fire and control ice. They lived happily together with everyone. Then, they fought against monsters together, defeated the scholars, and achieved a perfect ending." Ying continued the story.

"Sure enough, Ying understands me very well." Jiang Yi chuckled.

"Bah!" Ying rolled her eyes.

"No! No! No!" Paimon was about to cry. "It should have been that after eating someone, Hua would transform into that person's appearance, replace the victim and enter the city, starting with his family, and eat everyone."

"... Uwaa ...

"It's a good story. Can I write it down? Maybe it will be useful when I chat with people next time." Albedo said.

Paimon glanced at Albedo and said, "Which story are you talking about?"

"A scary story." Albedo said, surprising Paimon.

"I knew that the story of Jiang Yi and Ying was just a shabby one!" Paimon put his hands on his hips, "Mine is still the best!"

"Well, that's a fairy tale." Albedo said, "It's suitable for telling to a certain group of people!"

"Okay, let me tell you my story! It's a little longer than yours." He began, "It all started with an alchemist..."

Albedo told such a story.

A great and proud alchemist created a homunculus that blended perfectly into an ordinary person, and before this homunculus appeared, there were other failures and defective products.

One of the failed products was swallowed by a giant dragon, and the dragon died in the snowy mountains. He woke up because of the mysterious dragon power and saw the artificial human who hid his identity and integrated into ordinary people.

He was very surprised by the scene, but at the same time, he also had a desire to replace everything about the artificial man, deceive everyone, be accepted by people, be called by their affectionate name, and become that happy person.

So he changed his appearance to be like the artificial man and created a third individual.

He wanted to be a truly perfect person, so he subconsciously erased the marks that symbolized flaws on his own neck and the third individual's neck.

He was so eager that he didn't know that human beings are vivid because of their imperfections.

He made a careful plan, using the third individual as bait to attract the attention of the android. After the third individual was dealt with, he would appear and eliminate the android who had become complacent because the crisis had passed.

Replace the other person, replace everyone's memory, inherit the other person's identity, residence, clothes, sword, name and friends.

No one will find out, no one will see through it.

But the plan goes awry when a special stranger seems to notice his difference, and he is unable to simulate the android and an object in his friend's hand that is used to communicate.

He was found.

Fortunately, number three was not known to anyone.

He had no choice but to try to use Number Three to eliminate the androids and their friends, keep his own secret, and get a chance for a replacement.

He discovered that there was a powerful being beside the android, a being that had inherited more dragon power, and his chances were very slim.

He could only try his best.

Until... he unexpectedly discovered that the powerful being and the android seemed to have a tacit understanding, giving him a chance to truly face the android.

He can only abide by the rules set by this powerful being.

To find your own life.

Ying understood that this was a real story that happened in the past. The cruel and unbelievable truth had most of its horror destroyed by Jiang Yi.

If it weren't for Jiang Yi, they would undoubtedly be facing a more terrifying conspiracy.

"What the hell is that powerful being inside? It's a complete destroyer of the terrifying atmosphere!" Paimon stamped his feet, "Albedo, are you also using Jiang Yi's tricks? What happy ending?"

"I declare that I have won this horror story contest!" Paimon unilaterally declared himself the winner.

"Okay! Let Paimon be happy!" Ying and Jiang Yi did not refute.

These are all false names.

How can you argue with an idiot!
