"Old man, you old fool, you thousand-year-old turtle, hurry up and let me out, I'm almost suffocating to death."
Inside the stone tower, the little fellow stared at Old Twelve, who was sitting cross-legged outside the restriction with his eyes closed while practicing. He chattered non-stop, swearing at him with all kinds of dirty words.
"Old senior, big brother, you are a wise man. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have offended you. I want to apologize to you. Please be kind and let me go. I will be grateful to you."
Seeing that Old Twelve remained indifferent, the little guy began to beg for mercy.
However, Old Twelve turned a deaf ear to it. He didn't let it out before, and now that Tiangang was training outside, it was even more impossible for him to let it out. What if this shameless little beast accidentally ran into it, wouldn't it become its entertainment
"You old bastard, let me tell you, you have angered Lord Frog. When Lord Frog gets out, I will kill your wife and children and dig up your ancestors' graves!" The little guy was extremely angry and threatened.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a wife or children. As for the ancestral tomb, hundreds of years have passed and I have forgotten where it is. If you don't mind the trouble, you can slowly look for it in Qinglongzhou." At this time, the Twelveth Brothers finally spoke, full of joking, but he didn't open his eyes.
The little fellow's golden eyes widened, as if he had discovered a new world. He looked at Old Twelve and said, "Old man, are you still a virgin?"
"So what? On the path of cultivation, the seven emotions and six desires are just hindrances. Only by cutting them off can you achieve the great way!" Old Twelve said as a matter of course.
"Wow ha ha ha... The old guy is actually still a virgin, my God, it's so strange, so funny, no wonder he is as stubborn as an old ox, it's understandable, it's understandable, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore, wow ha ha ha..."
The little guy pointed at Old Twelve with one paw and laughed so hard that tears almost came out.
The Twelve Old Ones snorted coldly, "To achieve the realm of a true sage is something that a mortal like you cannot understand."
"Congeal!"
At this moment, Wutan's eyes suddenly opened, and with a low shout, a wisp of soul power shot out from his crown, like a strand of hair, and merged into the forbidden stone in his hand. Immediately, the forbidden stone burst into a soft glow.
Seeing this, the two little guys immediately fell silent and looked over quietly.
Wu Tian's face was solemn and serious. Wisps of soul power continued to flow out from his crown, twisting and turning into the forbidden stone, just like a painting, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes delicate, sometimes full of vigor...
As time goes by, the light of the forbidden stone becomes brighter and more eye-catching.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, the forbidden stone trembled violently, breaking the soul power, and then it broke away from the palm and floated up on its own, with rays of light rising and light rain falling, emitting an extremely obscure aura.
"Done?"
Wutan stared at the forbidden stone in a daze, somewhat unable to believe it.
“It seems to have really worked.”
The little guy nodded and looked at it curiously.
"How can it be?!"
Old Twelve stood up and rushed into the restriction. He grabbed the forbidden stone and looked at it carefully. The expression on his face kept changing like turning pages of a book, and in the end it was all incredible.
As for restrictions, in the entire Qinglong Continent, excluding other continents, he is second to none and no one dares to claim to be first, so he knows the difficulty of the way of restrictions. Generally speaking, it takes at least half a month to comprehend the first-level restrictions for the first time, and to successfully carve the first forbidden talisman, it takes at least many attempts.
Because it was the first time to carve the inscription, many people were unable to control the strength and accuracy, causing the forbidden stone to break.
However, it only took Wutan three or four hours to comprehend the restriction thoroughly, and he successfully carved the forbidden talisman in one go without breaking a single piece of forbidden stone. This was too unbelievable!
The Twelveth Elder stared at him in shock for a long while, then asked in confusion, "How did you do that?"
Wu Tian said: "At the beginning, I carved the inscriptions according to your method, but later on, it seemed that I didn't need to think about it at all, and I could carve the inscriptions as I pleased."
"As you please?"
Old Twelve continued to watch for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, what a free-spirited person! If you had started practicing the art of prohibition since childhood, you might have been a ninth-rank prohibition master now, or even higher."
The little fellow said disdainfully: "Tsk, it's not too late to start practicing the forbidden technique now."
"Yes, it is not too late. With his talent and understanding, he will definitely achieve something within ten years. He may even surpass me."
The little guy rolled his eyes, moved his eyeballs, leaned close to Wu Tian's ear, and said, "Little Emperor, I'll tell you a secret. This old guy who claims to be a sage is actually a virtuous boy. Don't you think it's funny? Haha..."
At the end, it couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Ahem!" Wu Tian coughed dryly and glared, "Stop fooling around, respect your elders!"
The little fellow said disdainfully: "Tsk, he is also considered a senior? Is there such an unreasonable senior? In my opinion, he is just an old stubborn, obstinate old ox."
The twelfth old man was very excited at the moment, and didn't pay any attention to what the little guy said. He smiled and said, "Wutian, next time you go out, if someone asks you who taught you the way of forbidden, you must tell the truth, understand?"
"Look, little emperor, this is what is called a true virtuous person. He has no manners at all, is greedy and vain, and is simply a stinking old bastard."
Wu Tian rolled his eyes at it, and then said to Old Twelve, "Don't worry, senior. I will definitely say that it was you who taught me with all your hard work."
The Twelveth Elder said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, you are teachable, and you have more conscience than this shameless little beast. Well, this time I will give you all the forbidden talismans from the second to the ninth level at once, but you must work hard!"
One-time? Wu Tian was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, senior!"
Old Twelve took out eight forbidden talismans and dozens of forbidden stones from the mustard seed bag and placed them in front of Wutan.
"To prevent accidents, I will give you ten of each of the second to sixth level forbidden stones. As for the seventh to ninth level forbidden stones, they are relatively rare, and I don't have many, so I can only give you three of each."
The Twelve Elders paused and warned, "Level 7 to Level 9 already belong to the ranks of Great Forbidden Masters, and there are only a handful of them in Qinglongzhou. The mysteries of the forbidden techniques are much more complicated than those below Level 6, so you must comprehend them thoroughly before carving the forbidden talismans to avoid wasting too many forbidden stones."
"The younger generation will remember this!" Wutan bowed.
"Yes," Old Twelve pinched his beard, nodded in appreciation, and said, "I hope that in six years, you can enter the ranks of the Great Forbidden Master, and what I did today will not be in vain."
"Six years..."
Wu Tian was stunned and calculated silently in his heart. Unknowingly, it was only six years away from the opening of the Jueyin ruins, and he was already twenty years old. Time flies so fast.
He couldn't help but think of what his grandfather said when he left Long Village. There is no time in the mountains. A cultivator can stay in seclusion for years, even decades or hundreds of years.
"Ju Yuan Ban, fall!"
Old Twelve waved his hand, and a white forbidden talisman flew out from his sleeve and hovered within the trapped area. In an instant, a white light shield fell and enveloped the few people.
The little fellow glared at him and said angrily, "Old man, what do you mean by this? It's not enough to have a lock on one side, you want to add another layer of restriction. Do you really want to treat us as guinea pigs?"
"You know nothing! This is the 'Ju Yuan Ban', which can absorb the essence within a hundred miles and pour it all into the locked area. Don't take my kindness for granted."
Old Twelve was so angry that his neck was twisted. He felt it was unfair that the decision of the Twelve Great Venerables was not notified to Wutan, so he set up this Ju Yuan Ban, thinking that he would help as much as possible, but he didn't expect to attract the little beast's abuse.
The little fellow didn't buy that. He said, "Really? No matter how I look at it, I can't tell. You are kind-hearted. Tell me the truth. What is your conspiracy?"
"I am being nosy!"
Old Twelve really couldn't continue to face the little beast, otherwise he would really lose his temper and start a fight, so, leaving behind these words, he stepped out of the restriction, then jumped out of the stone window and disappeared.
"Hmm? This energy is much stronger than before. It seems that Mr. Frog really misunderstood the old guy this time."
The vital energy within a hundred miles surged towards the stone tower like a wave, and then passed through the restrictions and diffused throughout the entire space.
The little guy finally realized that Old Twelve was not lying this time and was really helping out of kindness. However, given his temper, he would not apologize even if he knew he was wrong.
Seeing this scene, Wutan was both surprised and delighted. In just a few breaths, the essence in the restriction became several times denser than before, almost becoming viscous. He didn't even need to deliberately absorb it, the essence flowed into his body on its own.
The effect of practicing in such a place for one day is definitely comparable to that of practicing in half a year in the outside world.
As a result, Wutan further realized the horror of the ban and became more and more eager.
After giving the little fellow a few words of instruction, Wutan sat cross-legged on the cushion, practicing the Divine and Demonic Body Refining Technique to temper his body, while picking up the forbidden stones one by one and looking at them carefully.
There is no change in color between the second to ninth level forbidden stones and the first level forbidden stones, but their firmness and saturation are much higher.
If the strength of the first-level forbidden stone is equivalent to that of iron rock, then the second-level forbidden stone is equivalent to the essence of iron rock, and the hardness of the third-level forbidden stone is comparable to that of diamond.
The higher you go, the harder it becomes. Wutan feels that the forbidden stones from the seventh to the ninth level are not even worse than spiritual weapons.
Putting down the forbidden stone, Wutan grabbed a fifth-order restriction and let his soul power seep into it. He suddenly felt dazzled by the strands of soul power arranged in no order. After just looking at it for a while, he felt dizzy and sleepy.
Hastily retracting his soul power, Wu Tian shook his head, and murmured with a wry smile: "It seems that no matter what we do, we can't be impatient, we need to move forward step by step."
After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Wutan picked up the second-level forbidden talisman and began to study it. This was a second-level "illusion ban" that could produce an illusion and confuse people's eyes. If one could not recognize the reality, one would be trapped in the illusion forever and unable to extricate oneself.
However, it only works for those who are in the rebirth stage.
Gradually, Wutan was able to understand more and more the infinite mysteries of the way of prohibition.
He put aside all distractions and immersed himself in it completely, as if he was crazy and intoxicated, just like a dry desert that greedily absorbs moisture when it rains.
