Chapter 1815 Deduction: The Strange Changes in the Small Disk!



Chapter 1815 Deduction: The Strange Changes in the Small Disk!

now!

Cheng Buzheng gazed at the crucial Law Value and sighed softly to himself.

After all, the amount of energy required to deduce such a supreme method that leads directly to the Great Dao is completely unknown!

Having no experience to draw upon, he inevitably felt somewhat uncertain.

"That's it!"

After a moment of contemplation, Cheng Buzheng calmed his mind and cleared away all distracting thoughts.

"Whether it succeeds or fails, we must try."

Indulging in such daydreams only disturbs the mind.

After a whisper,

Cheng Buzheng's mind and consciousness receded from the depths of his spiritual vision, returning to his physical body like a tide.

Then he closed his eyes and meditated.

In a blink of an eye!

Three days passed quietly.

Inside the quiet room, time seemed to stand still, with only Cheng Buzheng's even and long breathing as proof of the passage of time.

After three days of deep meditation, the subtle ripples in his heart caused by anticipation and anxiety about the unknown outcome had completely subsided.

My state of mind is like a bottomless ancient well, deep and calm, without any ripples.

however,

Beneath this calm lies not complete confidence.

He actually had great doubts about whether he could successfully deduce the entire "Undying Body of Heaven and Earth" manual.

The source of this suspicion is not the incredible deductive ability of the mysterious treasure "Little Disc".

To this!

He had verified it many times and was convinced of it!

Rather, it stems from a deep concern about whether the "rule value" is sufficient.

Knowing full well the importance of this simulation and the uncertainty of its success or failure, he spared no effort to spend three days working hard to get his mind in the best possible state.

Just as all was quiet...

On the cloud bed, Cheng Buzheng, who had been sitting still like a stone statue, suddenly opened his eyes, which had been closed for three days.

The hesitation and calculation of the past were gone from his eyes, leaving only a resolute clarity.

"The time has come, let's begin!"

A deep, resolute soliloquy echoed in the quiet room.

Immediately,

His eyes slowly closed again.

With divine sense at his command, he swiftly and perfectly copied and extracted a copy of the incomplete secret technique of the [Undying Body of Heaven and Earth] and the profound essence of the related [Chaotic Starry Sky Scripture] from the depths of his vast memory.

next moment,

Within his vast and boundless sea of ​​consciousness, strange phenomena suddenly arose!

A gigantic sphere of light suddenly rose from the once calm "sea of ​​memories" that had accumulated over a thousand years.

This sphere of light was intense and pure.

Like a miniature sun, it radiates a dazzling light of the soul.

In an instant, it illuminated the dark and endless sea of ​​consciousness, making it bright and clear.

Such an astonishing phenomenon was not merely a manifestation of memories, but rather a direct resonance and influence on the sea of ​​consciousness caused by the supreme truth contained within the copied Daoist texts.

As Cheng Buzheng's mind raced...

The "sun" that stretched across the sea of ​​consciousness began to rapidly contract and condense inward, its light becoming increasingly restrained, while its Daoist charm grew ever deeper.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a tiny, seed-sized point of light, yet brimming with unimaginable information and Daoist principles.

Cheng Buzheng used his divine sense as a hand to carefully and gently place the "Dao Seed" into the mysterious central groove of the "small dish" that was floating in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Using the laws as fuel, ignite the fire of wisdom... and deduce for the true self!"

An invisible will transformed into the most resolute fingers, carrying all his expectations and determination, and pressed them firmly onto the panel that was connected to the "small dish" and intertwined with illusions, initiating the deduction process.

At that very moment,

Cheng Buzheng focused all his divine sense on the ancient and intricate patterns on the surface of the "small dish".

His heart was pounding, a powerful thought screaming within him:

"Light it up!"

"Make sure to light up the main image!"

As if in response to his call, in that very instant that he had longed for—

A noble, profound purple light, carrying indescribable fluctuations, suddenly shone from the source of the small dish's patterns, entering his divine sense!

"Purple light?"

It wasn't the golden light that had appeared in previous calculations?

The sudden change in color startled Cheng Buzheng, but he quickly understood.

"That's right, the appearance of the deduction value is gold, and what's driving the deduction right now is a higher-order 'law value'..."

Its outward appearance is naturally different.

Back then, the spiritual energy used during the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages was represented by a white light.

The deduction value is gold.

This purple hue corresponds precisely to the extraordinary phenomenon of the very origin of the laws!

However, just as Cheng Buzheng's divine sense had discerned the meaning of the purple light and his mind had calmed down—

Mutations reborn!

The purple light, which had been flowing smoothly along the mysterious trajectory on the surface of the small dish like a nimble electric snake, suddenly...

It's stopped!

The light ceased its forward spread, like a rushing river suddenly encountering an insurmountable dam, frozen within its original patterns, flickering erratically.

It appeared incredibly dark and struggling.

see,

Cheng Buzheng's heart sank suddenly, and an extremely familiar yet helpless feeling instantly swept over his entire body!

A bad feeling washed over me like ice water being poured over my head.

"not good!"

"This is... an anomaly where the Law Value is insufficient to complete the deduction!"

Cheng Buzheng was all too familiar with the strange phenomena that Xiao Die exhibited.

During his long years of cultivation, he had witnessed similar scenes of light interruption and deduction stalling more than once due to insufficient spiritual power or deduction value.

This time, however, the interrupted light changed from white and gold to purple.

as predicted!

The thought had barely formed in his mind when it seemed to confirm his worst fears—

The faint, purplish light that had been flickering weakly among the patterns of the small dish, like a candle burning in the wind, suddenly trembled.

As if extinguished by an invisible hand, it suddenly dimmed completely and disappeared without a trace.

The small dish has returned to its simple and quiet appearance.

Silence, a deathly silence, enveloped his consciousness.

It also enveloped the quiet room in reality.

And at that very moment when the light completely went out...

Cheng Buzheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, couldn't help but furrow his brows, which were originally calm and even, into a deep "川" (river) shape.

A heavy sense of defeat, mixed with indescribable emotions, surged through his recently calmed mind.

"Nearly fifty points of law value... and you still can't even complete the deduction?"

"Just what kind of heaven-defying technique is this [Undying Body of Heaven and Earth]?"

It should be noted that back then, when he deduced a second-tier treasure technique to the level of a first-grade divine power, the deduction value he consumed was only a tiny bit.

Even if more complex techniques are developed later, and the energy consumption increases, the increase is far from reaching such an exaggerated level.

Although he had concerns about the inadequacy of the rules before the deduction...

But when it actually happened, Cheng Buzheng found it hard to accept.

Moreover, the source of power driving this deduction by the small disc is far more advanced and precious than the "deduction value" converted from spiritual energy.

The essence of rule values ​​and deduction values ​​is completely different.

The profound mystery and energy contained in a wisp of the power of law far surpasses that of a vast amount of spiritual energy.

Even so, it still failed...

A chilling thought suddenly and uncontrollably surfaced within him:

Could it be...?

"As my cultivation level increases, and the level of techniques and secret arts I encounter rises, will the cost of each subsequent deduction also increase exponentially, becoming increasingly terrifying?"

The thought that every crucial deduction in the future might require consuming astronomical amounts of "law-based spiritual objects" is truly alarming.

Such treasures are strategic resources among high-level cultivators, and are extremely scarce...

A chilling sensation shot up Cheng Buzheng's spine and instantly spread throughout his body.

This is simply a bottomless pit that devours resources!

"That's it!"

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing this despairing premonition.

"The path ahead is arduous; how can we shrink back just because the road ahead is difficult?"

Let's deal with the future later; the immediate problems must be solved!

Thinking of this,

The last trace of hesitation and heartache caused by the depletion of resources in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by a resolute determination to burn his bridges and gamble everything!

Since there is no way out, then let's give it our all!

Immediately,

After making the decision, Cheng Buzheng did not hesitate at all.

With a thought, a faint, ethereal light flashed across the surface of the seemingly ancient and profound [Qiankun Thumb Ring] on his thumb, causing a subtle ripple in the space.

When I looked again—

Several treasures were already suspended in mid-air in front of the cloud bed.

They come in all shapes and sizes; some resemble irregular crystals, some look like natural chalcedony, and some resemble strange metals containing Dao patterns...

Each piece quietly radiates a different color of hazy light, some as fiery as flames, some as gentle as water, some as heavy as mountains, some as sharp as gold, and some full of vitality.

A series of distinct yet equally vast and pure fluctuations of law spread out and intertwined.

This caused a subtle resonance and tremor in the spiritual energy throughout the quiet room.

Yes,

These treasures were Cheng Buzheng's last remaining possessions—

Apart from the five complete Law Spiritual Objects that had been devoured by the small dish, all the remaining Law Spiritual Objects are now here!

Cheng Buzheng, sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, swept his gaze over the floating treasures with a complex expression.

Any one of these spiritual items, if it were to fall into the outside world, would be enough to cause a frenzied struggle among Nascent Soul cultivators.

Now, however, they must invest everything at once in this simulation where the outcome is uncertain.

His eyes held a complex mix of heartache and a deep longing for the simulation to succeed.

And a kind of resolute determination to gamble everything...

A variety of emotions, complex and difficult to understand.

At the same time, a silent murmur resounded deep within his heart:

"Hopefully... after Xiaodie absorbs these last accumulations, he can truly deduce the entire [Undying Body of Heaven and Earth]!"

"otherwise……

This time, I've truly lost everything; the losses are beyond my wildest imagination.

He was well aware of how rare law-based spiritual objects were in the human realm, where high-level resources were extremely scarce.

After countless millennia of depletion in the cultivation world and the plundering by powerful figures throughout history, those remaining in the world are now extremely rare.

His inventory was a rare and hard-won accumulation.

Once exhausted, the hope of finding and comprehending the laws again is as slim as finding a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, these treasures shining with the light of laws before him are not only his last hope for deduce the entire Law-based Body,

To some extent, it also relates to his future path.

Taking them all out at this moment would be nothing short of a high-stakes gamble.

Therefore, even someone as resolute in his Daoist conviction as Cheng Buzheng revealed such complex and indescribable emotions at this moment...

That's perfectly understandable.

Followed by.

Cheng Buzheng's gaze sharpened, locking onto a cyan bead within the floating treasure.

The bead was no bigger than a longan, and its entire surface was a bluish-green.

What's most peculiar is that its surface is naturally covered with countless intricate white spots, appearing seemingly chaotic.

But upon closer inspection...

Yet it seems to contain the trajectory and rhythm of some kind of wind.

A faint blue light rippled around the bead. The light was not dazzling, but rather like a gentle breeze blowing through the mountains and forests, carrying a calming and tranquil atmosphere.

Yes,

This is an extremely rare wind-attribute spiritual object—

【Heavenly Wind Pearl】!

This bead was formed over countless years by the creation of heaven and earth in the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, and contains the pure origin of the Law of Wind.

next moment,

Cheng Buzheng's mind was resolute. An invisible and intangible fluctuation, yet containing his powerful divine sense, quietly emanated from between his brows.

It precisely enveloped the suspended [Heavenly Wind Pearl].

A strange scene happened!

The azure pearl, originally incredibly hard and capable of withstanding the bombardment of magical treasures, was instantly struck by this invisible wave...

It was as if in an instant, billions of years had passed, and the erosion of endless wind and frost had been endured.

The bead first became hazy and ethereal, then, like a sand dune, it began to silently weather and dissipate from the outside in, turning into the finest blue specks of light.

Ultimately, it was completely annihilated.

Not even a speck of dust remained, as if it had never existed in the world.

at the same time.

Deep within Cheng Buzheng's sea of ​​consciousness, on that mysterious panel interwoven with illusions,

The number following the "Law Value" field flickered slightly, indicating a change:

Rule value: 59.999

Looking at the ten points of Law value that had appeared out of nowhere, Cheng Buzheng let out a soft breath, suppressing the slight ripple in his heart caused by the disappearance of the precious spiritual item, and silently encouraged himself:

"I've accumulated nearly sixty Law Points, let's try again!"

Without hesitation, his will coalesced once more into invisible fingers, and with a hint of anticipation, he pressed them heavily onto the illusory, interwoven panel.

A new round of simulations has been launched.

at the same time,

The small dish, resting quietly in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, once again shone with a deep purple light from the inside out, and began to flow slowly.

however,

Just as Cheng Buzheng was secretly hoping that this time would be different—

The purple light that had just appeared, like last time, struggled to spread a distance through the patterns before it was extinguished completely without warning!

The small dish became dull and lifeless again.

At that moment, Cheng Buzheng's heart sank again, plummeting to the bottom.

The feeling of hope being ignited and then extinguished is far more painful than having no hope at all.

Although it hurts like a knife to my heart, there's no turning back now that the arrow has been released!

Cheng Buzheng's eyes narrowed; there was no time for dejection.

They continued to focus their attention on another law-based spiritual object that emitted a thick, earthy-yellow light and was shaped like a tortoise shell.
