C1063 A Metaphor on the Screen
From the edge of the island, he never stopped walking to the center of the pirates, and it took him six hours, and he used more than 70% of his zhenqi.
"This method consumes too much, so it's better to use it less in the future." Ye Bufan finally came to this conclusion.
However, after resting, the distance from here to Spirit Treasure Pavilion was... He was not ready to change his way of doing things. It was better to be a good person from the beginning to the end. He should not be like a tiger head and a snake tail. Since he had chosen such a domineering way of moving forward at the beginning, he should persist until the end. If he gave up halfway because he had used up too much energy... There was no way to refute if he was mocked by others.
After resting, Ye Bufan charged all the way until he finally arrived in front of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion's gate. Behind him, countless plant corpses were left behind.
Ye Bufan raised his head and looked at the nine-story tower that towered into the clouds. He was cheering himself on in his heart. He had to climb to the top floor and take away the best treasure!
The door of the tower was open. He could see a screen inside. He didn't know if someone had entered earlier than Ye Bufan, or if the door wasn't locked in the first place.
Walking into the tower, Ye Bufan stood in front of the screen and carefully looked at the picture on it.
The picture was of the rolling waves of the East Ocean. It was as if the waves were moving up and down, and vaguely, there seemed to be a divine dragon in the seawater, sometimes appearing and sometimes appearing. It was like a real illusion.
"Is there any other metaphor for this screen?" Ye Bufan could not help but think otherwise. Since the Dragon King's ultimate goal of holding the Spirit Treasure Pavilion Meeting was... In order to find a helper that could help the Crystal Palace survive the great catastrophe, there was naturally a certain requirement for cultivators.
This screen was so eye-catching that it was placed at the entrance of Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Of course, it wouldn't be meaningless to put it there.
Unfortunately, Ye Bufan had never been a guessing expert. He stood in front of the screen and looked for a long time, but he didn't find anything. He couldn't find any valuable information. He even felt that this scene had nothing to do with the entire Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
Without any hope of cracking it, Ye Bufan gave up.
There was no point in competing in matters that he wasn't good at. Apart from wasting time and energy, there was no other meaning.
Of course, at this time, there would be people saying that "as long as you work hard and grind the iron pestle into a needle." In fact, with this skill, who knew how many needles this iron pestle could exchange for?
As the saying went, "the profession has its own specialties." Wasting energy on things that one was not good at was not a wise decision most of the time.
Especially now was the time to be nervous. If more and more cultivators entered Spirit Treasure Pavilion, and Ye Bufan was still studying the painting on the screen, perhaps all the good things would be taken away by others.
The Spirit Treasure Pavilion Meeting was a competition that could race against time. How could one waste too much time on comprehending the screen? Since there were no signs of cracking it, there was naturally no need to waste time on it.
Ignoring the screen, Ye Bufan bypassed the screen and walked into the tower.
Behind the screen was a passageway that was not too long. At the end of the passageway, there was a stone statue. The statue was lifelike, it was the image of a mutant beast.
It was an ape mutant beast. It bared its teeth and stared at the passageway, as if it was the guardian of this passageway. The most surprising thing wasn't that the statue was lifelike, but that the ape statue had four arms carved out of it.
"A ape with four hands?" Ye Bufan recalled a legendary mutant beast, the Sky Splitting Ape.
According to the legends, the Sky Splitting Ape was originally a Xiantian monster. It was the same as the phoenix, Blue Luan Bird, and divine dragon. It was only because of its ferocious nature. It liked to use its four hands to tear apart everything it saw, so it was punished by the Heavenly Dao. It had regressed from a Xiantian demon into a demon.
Although he had degenerated, the Sky Splitting Ape race still continued to be passed down. Once. There was a lot of growth and growth, although a single individual could not be compared to a Xiantian monster. Relying on the advantage of numbers, no one dared to provoke this group of crazy monkeys.
Later on, the heaven and earth changed, and the innate monster race disappeared from this world. The bloodline of the Sky Splitting Ape quickly became sparse, and it was even difficult to continue.
Later on, when the human race ruled the world, the Sky Splitting Ape race became a legend.
Later on, after entering the era of cultivators, many legends of the ancient era began to spread among the cultivators once again, and the Sky Splitting Ape once again appeared in the story.
However, no matter if it was a story or a legend, the Sky Splitting Ape was the appearance of a crazy villain. Whether it was a righteous cultivator or an evil cultivator, no one had ever treated the Sky Splitting Ape as an idol.
Not to mention carving a statue of the Sky Splitting Ape.
It was because of this phenomenon and common sense that Ye Bufan was very surprised when he saw the statue of a Sky Splitting Ape at the end of the passage.
Although he was surprised, when he thought that this was the territory of the Dragon King, his surprise calmed down.
After all, the Dragon King was not a human. It was understandable that he was interested in the Sky Splitting Ape that was produced after the degeneration of the innate demons. After all, it was easy to understand why demons and humans had different thoughts.
However, just as this question was solved, another question shrouded Ye Bufan's heart.
That was why there was a Sky Splitting Ape corpse at the end of the tunnel.
"Could it be just for decoration?" Ye Bufan felt that it wouldn't be that simple.
This was the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, the place where the Dragon King stored his treasures. Every item must have its uses. Furthermore, even if it was just a decorative sculpture, it definitely wouldn't be so lonely. He even placed the sculpture at the end of the tunnel in between.
No matter how one looked at this sculpture, it did not look like an ornament. Instead, it looked like a guard!
But this was even stranger. Since he was going to place the guard here, why didn't they get a giant beast or a hound? Why would a stone statue be placed here, what use did it have? A stone statue wouldn't move, wasn't this the same as not having one?
With this type of suspicion, Ye Bufan didn't dare really walk over like this. Perhaps this stone statue would immediately become a real Sky Splitting Ape, and that would be dangerous.
Don't look at how Ye Bufan was already a Sixth Grade of Martial Origin. If he really faced a Sky Splitting Ape, he wouldn't be a match for it at all.
After all, the Sky Splitting Ape was an existence that could fight against numerous innate demons. It wasn't something that a puny Sixth Grade of Martial Origin like him could compare with.
However, it was precisely because the Sky Splitting Ape was so powerful that it caused Ye Bufan to hesitate even more. Because according to the rules of the world, no Sixth Grade of Martial Origin and above cultivators were allowed to exist in the entire Upper Level World. This restriction was naturally suitable for all kinds of mutant beast and Demonic Beast.
Perhaps, some special techniques could be used in a force like the Four Great Kings or a force with a unique inheritance. They could preserve combat strength that was above the Sixth Grade of Martial Origin, but this was definitely their last trump card. They wouldn't use it so easily.
If the Sky Splitting Ape statue not far ahead could really transform into the real Sky Splitting Ape... Ye Bufan felt that the Dragon King wasn't choosing a helper for this Soul Treasure Conference. Instead, he wanted to slaughter the other cultivators.
Ye Bufan couldn't help but admire this arrangement of people. It was just that there was a statue at the end of the passageway. It was actually able to put him in a difficult position, making him hesitant to move forward. It could be seen how profound the arrangement of the people was, and how confident they were in the hearts of the people.
"I don't care anymore. I don't believe that the Dragon King would really dare to place a Sky Splitting Ape in front of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion!" Ye Bufan looked at the end of the passageway and finally decided to continue forward. If he was scared to stop here by just a statue, then how would he find the Soul Refining Hand in the future!
The decision to continue forward did not mean that Ye Bufan had completely given up on vigilance. Instead, it made him even more careful.
While he was constantly on guard against the statue suddenly becoming real, he was also constantly paying attention to whether there would be any traps in the surroundings.
After all, this kind of diversion trap setup could be considered a very famous setup. It was very simple, but it would often work.
The passageway was very short, only 200 meters long. Ye Bufan carefully walked past 180 meters. Nothing unexpected happened, and no traps appeared. The journey was smooth and smooth.
However, he was not happy at all when he successfully walked through the tunnel. Because he knew that if there were no traps along the way... That meant that the statue at the end of the passage was very likely to be the only gatekeeper.
Ye Bufan would never believe that there was no such thing as a trap in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion of the Dragon King that allowed him to walk in so easily.
Since there were no traps or obstacles in the tunnel, the only thing that could stop him from entering was the statue at the entrance.
Ye Bufan stopped twenty meters away from the statue.
He stood there and stared at the statue. He wanted to observe the statue more closely at a closer distance.
He had achieved his goal.
Twenty meters was enough for him to distinguish every detail of the statue.
"How brutal!" Ye Bufan looked at it for a long time and could not help but sigh.
This statue could be said to be perfect and flawless, without a single blemish on its body. Even the expression of the Sky Splitting Ape was carved so vividly that it didn't look like a sculpture at all. It looked more like a real Sky Splitting Ape that had been turned into a stone.
While he was amazed by the perfection of the statue, Ye Bufan also stared at the statue closely, afraid that he would miss even the smallest detail.
At this point, he was almost certain that the statue could come back to life at any time.
After standing in the same spot and observing for a long time, Ye Bufan finally did not intend to continue observing like this. He planned to take a few more steps forward to see if he would really disturb the statue and turn it into something alive.0
Of course, in order to ensure his own safety, Ye Bufan also took out the Emperor Sword and ignited the sword light, ready to enter a state of battle at any time.
He gently took a step forward and stared at the statue. In the end, he found that the statue did not change at all.
Hence, he took another step forward, but the statue still did not change.
"Could it be that the distance to trigger the statue is 15 meters?" Ye Bufan thought for a moment, then bought two more steps, and instantly stepped into the range of 15 meters.
