When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 790 - 575: Research on the Pattern of Day and Night Alternation
Chapter 790: Chapter 575: Research on the Pattern of Day and Night Alternation
When Xiang Beifei went out, he realized that the situation outside seemed to have become somewhat strange.
Surrounding his valley were many Yi Trib cultivators who had set up camps at the edge of the valley, with some cultivators walking on the cliffs, and even some had intruded into the valley itself.
Xiang Beifei slightly furrowed his brows, since he had killed Jiao Yingguang, this valley was, by default, his territory. Normally, other than Li Qianluo, it was only Fu Qiuzi who would come here, which he did not mind, but it was different with other cultivators.
Xiang Beifei saw a middle-aged man standing not far away, talking with Fu Qiuzi about something,
The middle-aged man’s clothes were made of some special desolate beast materials, emitting a faint light and were quite eye-catching. However, his appearance had no distinct difference from humans, showing no trace of the Yi Trib, and he was also a strong Heavenly Connection realm cultivator.
"Let’s test it with you."
The light of black and white flickered in Xiang Beifei’s eyes as he used his newly comprehended ability to deduce the Dao embryo of the middle-aged man.
In an instant, the way the Dao embryo functioned, its strengths and weaknesses, abilities, and realm of power... everything was deduced by Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei slightly integrated the information he had deduced, then categorized these details into systematic text:
[Host: Guan Qishu]
[Dao embryo: Pierced Chest]
[Realm: Early Heavenly Connection]
[Dao embryo introduction: This race has a penetrating hole in the chest, called "penetrating hole," which goes through the body. This hole can change size within a certain range and can move to any part of the body, used to evade fatal injuries.]
[Dao embryo ability: Using Pierced Chest embodiment, one can link their body with the target. Wherever a hole appears on one’s body, a corresponding hole will appear on the target’s body!]
[Weakness: Attacks surpassing the diameter of the hole will cause damage.]
...
"This ability is quite impressive."
Xiang Beifei couldn’t help but think.
In combat, if the enemy’s attack is aimed at his head or heart, he could shift his body’s penetrating hole to his head or heart, allowing any attack to pass through without injuring him.
If during a fight he connects his body with the opponent’s, wherever he creates a hole on his body, it will appear on the opponent’s as well. If it’s on the head, he would survive, but the opponent’s head would explode.
For Xiang Beifei, he was already quite satisfied because he didn’t recognize the man before him at all, yet he was able to deduce the opponent’s abilities just by relying on his perception of the Heavenly Dao!
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been talking with Fu Qiuzi also noticed him, quickly walked over, and bowed slightly, "I am Guan Cang of the Pierced Chest Tribe, I have seen the Stronghold Leader!"
It seems that his name and race were deduced correctly.
Fu Qiuzi also came out, with a smile on his face, "Stronghold Leader, Guan Cang is a friend who just joined our Zha Jiang Stronghold yesterday, permitted by the Second Stronghold Leader."
Xiang Beifei then remembered that a few days ago, Li Qianluo had mentioned establishing a stronghold to contend with the other three forces; he had not expected this to be executed so swiftly.
And judging by the size of the valley, at least seven or eight tribes had joined, and as the Stronghold Leader, he had been studying the Dao embryo matters these few days, unaware of it all.
"Alright, as long as you follow the rules of our Zha Jiang Stronghold when joining us," Xiang Beifei said seriously. freёweɓnovel_com
In reality, he had no clue what rules his Zha Jiang Stronghold had.
"Understood, we of the Pierced Chest Tribe will heed the Stronghold Leader’s instructions."
But Guan Cang responded very formally to Xiang Beifei.
He held great reverence for Xiang Beifei, as on the day Xiang Beifei easily killed the man with the split head, he had impressed many cultivators. Many tribes who had not yet decided which camp to join didn’t hesitate to switch sides.
"Stronghold Leader, you have been in seclusion for cultivation these past few days and are not aware of many things. I shall straighten them out for you."
Fu Qiuzi led Xiang Beifei around the entire valley, where the number of kindred races in Zha Jiang Stronghold had reached eight, totaling sixty-one individuals. Each race had been allocated an area to settle down and cultivate, and every day two people from each race were drawn to patrol the surroundings of the valley.
These past few days had been peaceful; the other three powers had not come to provoke them, as there were more important issues preoccupying all cultivators at present.
"Village chief, a strange occurrence took place by the Black Water River bank a few days ago, which startled all the cultivators and caused widespread panic," Fu Qiuzi said solemnly.
"What happened?"
Xiang Beifei’s spirits lifted, "The Land of Inheritance is still sealed off, trapping everyone here, with no way to move forward or back. If something could stir up the cultivators, perhaps we could find a way to cross the Black Water River and reach Bone Mountain’s Desert Stone Cave."
Fu Qiuzi’s expression grew very grave as he said, "A few days ago, the sky over here at the Black Water River suddenly brightened and darkened, with day and night cycling rapidly. When night came, we almost lost all Perception, and everyone speculated it was a trial left by the deities for their inheritance."
Fu Qiuzi went on to detail the events that had transpired.
"Ah? That?"
Xiang Beifei was slightly startled upon hearing it.
The cycle of night and day, wasn’t that his doing? He had not managed his Candle Dragon’s Eye ability properly, just clenching and spreading his hands, creating a mess of day and night, and now these people were treating it as some sort of divine trial?
Unaware of this, Fu Qiuzi continued to speak seriously, "Indeed, now the other three powers are all trying to crack the pattern of this night and day. They say that the method to cross the Black Water River is hidden within the alternation of day and night."
Standing alongside, Guan Cang chimed in mystically, "I’ve heard from unofficial channels that Flaming Six Wings of the Moon God Race and his subordinates have mentioned their ancient texts describe that deities’ inheritances will test visitors in special ways, and the pattern of day and night alternation is precisely a clue left by the deity of Bone Mountain’s Desert Stone Cave. Whoever can decipher the messages contained within the cycle of day and night will discover the means to cross the Black Water River!"
"The pattern of day and night contains messages? What kind of messages could that entail?"
Xiang Beifei blinked and exchanged a glance with Xiaohei on his shoulder, who couldn’t help but burst into a loud laugh.
This Flaming Six Wings of the Moon God Race, is he some sort of charlatan?
Yet, Fu Qiuzi and Guan Cang were treating the matter with utmost seriousness.
Guan Cang produced a piece of paper, saying, "Chief, please take a look at this analysis chart that cost me a great deal to acquire from a friend in Light Valley."
On this piece of paper, alternating black and white rectangular shapes were arranged in a row which, at a glance, looked like the barcode found on goods at the old Jiuzhou Supermarket.
"These black and white widths represent the intervals of night and day at that time. Some cultivators have recorded that the first night lasted ten seconds, followed by a day lasting one minute. After that, it became very frequent: the night lasted two seconds, the day three seconds, followed by four seconds of night, two seconds of day... The word on the street is that Flaming Six Wings of the Moon God Race is undergoing the deities’ trial through these intervals of day and night and is about to receive the inheritance!"
Guan Cang viewed this matter with great solemnity.
Fu Qiuzi also said, "Many cultivators are now keeping an eye on Light Valley. Light Valley has attracted more and more cultivators, now surpassing the other three powers to become the most formidable force. They all believe that Flaming Six Wings has the best chance to pass the deities’ day-night trial and receive the divine inheritance, and they obediently follow his commands."
This Meat-Winged Monster from the Moon God Race is a real charlatan—deceiving people left and right!
What Xiang Beifei casually produced, the alternation of day and night, was sanctified by them as part of their ancient texts. Then, by unabashedly lying, they attracted numerous devotees to join Light Valley, consequently getting others to do the work for them.
He had seen shameless people, but none as shameless as this.
Xiang Beifei was equally disdainful of such Meat-Winged Monsters who appeared holy on the outside, but were in fact repugnantly vile.
"Chief, we also need to carefully study the pattern of the last alternation of day and night. We can’t let him get there first and be the one to pass the deity’s day-night trial!" Fu Qiuzi said with deep conviction.
"Indeed, all cultivators now look to him as the hope of the Land of Inheritance. Because he is the most likely candidate to decipher the pattern of day and night!" Guan Cang added.
"Decipher the pattern of day and night?"
Xiang Beifei stroked his chin. As for the pattern of day and night, whatever pattern they wanted, he could produce. Was there really a need to decipher it?
"Since you all like deciphering so much, how about I whip up a few more for you?"
Xiang Beifei smiled faintly, already plotting a way to deal with the grandstanding charlatan.
