With further refining, the amethyst ball-like appearance of the magic weapon's blank was seen to undergo further changes.
First, it softened, and the hard crystal seemed to turn into crystal-like jelly. It seemed as if you could feel the soft trembling Q bullets every time the mana was injected into it.
Then it melted, and the soft and elastic jelly gradually changed from elastic to soft and sticky, just like a ball of sticky honey.
When mana or "purple energy" enters, although there is no real sound, it still makes people feel "puff-puff-puff".
This is not the final form.
The stickiness was melted away little by little, and the magic weapon blank turned into a ball of water, just like water dripping with purple pigment.
You can even clearly see the ripples on the surface of the water mass, and the mana or purple energy is like raindrops falling on the lake.
And this is not the end.
Surrounded by these clones of Ye Zan, a faint purple gas rose from the magic weapon, just like steam rising from water after it is boiled.
However, the dense purple air did not spread everywhere, but condensed into a ball in place like clouds.
In the center of the clouds and mist, the magic weapon blank, like a water ball, shrank in circles while rising into dense purple gas, until it finally disappeared completely.
As all the magic weapon blanks turned into dense purple gas, little stars began to flash in the purple clouds.
Those flashes of light, at first glance, looked like lightning in rain clouds, flickering in and out of the clouds and mist.
When there are more flashes, most of the dense purple gas is lit up by the flashes, and the cloud becomes more like a nebula in the universe.
From Ye Zan's perspective, it might be more like a scene where the neurons in the brain light up.
At this point, the magic weapon seems to have no special changes, but at the same time, there are no signs of being completely formed.
It seems like there is an opportunity missing.
"Reached?"
Outside the small world, Ye Zan and his group stopped and fell from the clouds to the ground.
In front of them was a mountain gate that was not very eye-catching.
This mountain gate is only a few feet high and is made of a common wood and stone structure. It looks like a small door and a small household.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that even the third-rate sects outside today have much taller and more gorgeous mountain gates than the ones here.
Looking at the mountain gate, there were two large ancient characters written on it. Ye Zan and others recognized the two characters "Yushan".
Obviously, when this saint became a saint, the sect may not have formed regulations, otherwise it would have been a "XX sect".
The reason why everyone stayed here was not because there was any restriction on flying, but mainly out of respect for the saint.
Another point is that they need to consider how to deal with the evil demons from outer space.
After all, they were sent in by the Immortal Court not just for opportunities, but also with the responsibility of stopping the evil spirits from outside.
Now, when they arrive at the place where saints are sanctified, if they all go inside and look for opportunities, then the evil spirits from outside the world will be able to enter smoothly.
If they stay to stop them, it will be a decisive battle with evil spirits from outside the world here.
However, there is still a gap in strength between the two sides, and whether they can be stopped is still a question.
Besides, if you stop me, everyone will be wasted here together.
If you don't stop him, any advantage will be in vain, and he will surpass you immediately.
Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, Ye Zan immediately understood what everyone was worried about and raised his hand to project the surveillance screen in front of everyone.
"You don't have to worry too much. Those projections in the Holy Ruins have obviously caused a lot of trouble for the demons outside the world. If we can join forces with those projections, we may not be able to keep the evil demons out."
The surveillance screen shows the battle situation on the demon side of the sky.
Although the strength of those projection "natives" is not very strong, they are infinite and cannot be eliminated.
That is to say, their resurrection will take time, and they can only be resurrected at their original location, so they do not cause too much hindrance to the evil spirits outside the world.
After they were resurrected, although they would immediately chase the demons from outside the world, they still gave the demons room to move forward.
In other words, as the demons from outside the world advance, new "natives" will continue to come forward, and at the same time, the "natives" who are resurrected later will also catch up.
As a result, the appearance of the demon outside the sky at this time is like a plane flying retrograde in a swarm of locusts.
"Fellow Taoist Wuji, if you have any ideas, just tell me!"
"Then I'll help you all take the details."
"But there's no harm in talking."
"What I think is simple to say, is to divide us into two teams. One team will enter the holy place to seek opportunities, and the other team will join hands with the projection to stop the evil spirits from outside. When someone gets the opportunity, they will come out and communicate with the outside world. By exchanging friends, maybe we can finally keep all the evil spirits from outside the world."
After Ye Zan finished speaking his thoughts, everyone around him fell into silence.
This method is very simple and cannot be called a strategy at all, but one cannot but admit that it is feasible.
The question is, who goes and who stays, whether the ones who stay can be blocked, and for how long.
There's no telling what chance is.
Maybe get it in one go.
It may take thousands of years.
"Well, I don't have any selfish motives. It's just that we can either go in together and let the evil demons from outside the world go in. Or, we can stay here together and use the power of projection to continue the stalemate with the evil demons from outside the world indefinitely.
Either…”
There is a reason why Ye Zanduo explained this sentence.
After all, his personal strength and realm, at least on the surface, are the lowest among everyone.
In other words, no matter how the two teams are divided, he is unlikely to stop the team of Demons from Beyond.
"What Fellow Taoist Wuji said is indeed a solution!"
"To be on the safe side, there should be more people left to stop the evil spirits from outside."
"Can!"
"good!"
Selfishness is human nature, and ascetics are also human beings, so they will naturally prioritize their own interests.
The reason why everyone agreed with Ye Zan's idea was not due to any selfless dedication, but the result of weighing the benefits and losses.
After all, the certainty of this matter is still relatively high.
Besides, some of them...or all of them, are still thinking about grabbing the "purple energy" from the evil spirits outside the sky.
What's more, if they really can't stand it, they can choose to retreat into "Yu Mountain".
It's not that you can't do anything inside, and there's no restricted or isolated space. It's just an artificial boundary drawn by the mountain gate.
It is precisely because of this that if someone gets the opportunity first, they can come back and replace others in rotation.
As for whether we can go out to collect "purple energy" after driving away the evil spirits from outside the world.
In theory it's actually possible.
However, ascetics all talk about a predestined relationship, as the saying goes, "There is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life, so don't force it."
Some things, no matter simple or difficult, just do it if you encounter it, and miss it if you miss it.
Besides, the Immortal Court may not allow them to stay in the Holy Ruins for a long time after defeating the demons from outside the world.
No matter what, since everyone has approved the idea, everyone will not waste any more time.
No one was arguing about who would go or who would stay. Except for Ye Zan, who was a "weak chicken" on the surface, the rest of them decided to stay or go by using the ability of grabbing red envelopes.
"I'll take the lead with my shamelessness, and the evil spirits will be able to help a few fellow Taoists for the time being that day!"
"Go early and come back early!"
The group of monks separated into two teams. One team stayed on the outside of Yushan Mountain to stop the evil spirits from outside, and the other team entered Yushan Mountain first to look for opportunities.
Although it is said that we are "looking for" opportunities, in fact, we do not need to dig deep into the ground to search.
In the final analysis, it is a "sanctified place."
This Yushan Mountain is the center of the Holy Ruins and can be called the "holy place", but Yushan Mountain also has its center.
For example, the center of the capital is in the Forbidden City, the center of the Forbidden City is in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is under the Dragon Throne.
The Holy Ruins expanded from the position where the Saint was when he became a Saint. The center of the entire circle is naturally the place where the Saint once stood.
Ye Zan and others walked into the simple mountain gate and climbed the steps along the slightly narrow mountain path.
Without puzzles, levels and other tests, this narrow staircase is not a universal staircase.
Therefore, even if Ye Zan and others walked, it did not take much time to reach their destination.
Not the top of the mountain.
Yushan is not a peak, but a rolling mountain with many peaks.
The place where the saint became a saint is on the main peak of Mount Yu, a rather wide platform halfway up the mountain.
This platform can accommodate three to two hundred people, and in front is a high platform for preaching.
A figure, with white beard and hair, and blurred facial features, sat in an upright cross-legged position on the high platform.
Under the preaching platform, there were hundreds of figures, including men and women, old and young, and all kinds of people.
However, unlike those projections outside, these figures on the platform did not give birth to any spiritual intelligence.
If the projection outside can be called a living being, then the figure here can only be regarded as a phantom.
"It's a pity. If these projections can also produce spiritual wisdom, what do those evil spirits outside mean?"
Looking at those phantoms, the comrades around Ye Zan couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed, it is clear that the scene here is not only the place where the saint was sanctified, but also the place where the saint preached before becoming sanctified.
The phantoms sitting there are undoubtedly the remains of people who once listened to the saint's sermons.
To be able to listen to the sermons of saints, even at that time, must be a powerful person above the level of a true immortal.
In the war with the evil spirits outside the world, the power of the true immortal level is naturally not invincible.
But here, facing the extraterrestrial evil spirits who entered the Holy Ruins at this moment, the power of the true immortal level is enough to crush them.
It's a pity that, just like in the legend of the earth, the Tathagata Buddha points to the sky and the earth, which means "I am the only one in heaven and earth."
The great powers of true immortals and above also have similar uniqueness, and may be called "the only true self in heaven and earth."
Because of this, new spiritual intelligence cannot actually be born in their figures.
Likewise, there is the figure of the saint preaching on the stage.
A saint should be able to say, "I am the only one in heaven and on earth." Naturally, it is even less likely that the figure left behind will develop spiritual wisdom.
"It's pointless to think about that. I'd better hurry up and don't make the fellow Taoists outside wait any longer."
Ling Han, the newly promoted Supreme Lord of Tongtian Realm, is naturally among the few people who have priority to enter this place.
And his master, Gou Chen Supreme, was the strongest among all the people, probably second only to the Bone Lady, so he took on the responsibility of blocking the evil spirits outside.
Here, the way to obtain opportunities is very simple, that is, sit among those figures and listen to the saint's sermons.
There are two ways to do this, one is to sit on an empty futon, and the other is to overlap with the human figure.
Sitting on an empty futon and listening to lectures is simply using your own ability to understand the words of the sage.
Overlapping with those figures is equivalent to experiencing the other person's experience when they first listened to the lecture, and you can gain some of their experience from those figures.
With the experience bonus of those figures, the difficulty in understanding the saint's words has been relatively reduced.
However, this method is not used casually.
If you want to use this method, you must first confirm that the path of the figure you want to "fit" has a certain relationship with the path you have cultivated.
It is impossible to be exactly the same, as long as they are related, it is enough.
If the two are unrelated, what you get is not experience.
It's like, you obviously want to learn piano, but you have a master who plays suona.
So, how to determine which figure is suitable for you
Now that these people have come to the Holy Ruins, they are naturally prepared for this.
Different from Ye Zan's "ignorance", several people either knew some of the figures here or had special detection methods.
No matter what the means, several people quickly selected their targets, and then they overlapped with the target's figure as if they were sitting in their arms.
Ye Zan watched several of his colleagues sit down and took a look at the empty futons. He thought to himself: If a genius is generally quite confident in himself, he should probably sit on the empty futons without hesitation at this time.
To sit on an empty futon and rely on your own qualifications and abilities to understand the teachings of the saints, you really need to be quite confident in yourself.
And Ye Zan is actually not very confident about his qualifications.
Although, when he first came to the world of monasticism, he had obtained genius genes from Qi Qianjun and re-adjusted his own genes.
However, the body's genetic adjustment only affects the body's qualifications.
Cultivating Taoism is not just about looking at the physical body.
It was precisely because of this that when he was building the foundation, he built such a weird foundation.
This directly leads to the fact that the golden elixir, Yuanying, Yuanshen, and Dharma behind him are all so "different".
So now, how should he choose
It is conceivable that the benefits that Ye Zan can get from sitting on the empty futon will be very limited.
Like everyone else, what about finding a suitable figure to "fit"
Not to mention whether it can be found.
Even finding a suitable figure would only make it a little less difficult for Ye Zan.
After thinking about it, Ye Zan's eyes turned around, from the empty futon to those figures, and then from those figures to... the figure of the saint.
