If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 512 Eye of the Sky
Gu Ruochen was stunned, but still answered truthfully.

"When people think, the spiritual energy fluctuations will naturally move in the corresponding direction. However, due to factors such as distance, those spiritual energy fluctuations will eventually fade to the point of non-existence."

"The higher the level of cultivation, the more sensitive one is to fluctuations in that area. Take immortals for example. No matter where a person is, as long as they say the immortal's name, the immortal will notice and find the person's location immediately."

"Of course, some people with extremely keen senses can vaguely sense who is mentioning them."

"The reason our summoning spirits were impacted was, firstly, that we intentionally intensified the fluctuations in spiritual energy, and secondly, that we intercepted the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations and forcibly concentrated them on ourselves. Since we were not the original spirits, we naturally suffered backlash."

Li Yanmo raised his brows slightly, "In other words, my summons to the gods will not be affected?"

"Yes and no. After all, it's the fluctuation of spiritual energy. When spiritual energy fluctuations become strong enough, they can be destructive. That's why some cultivators can use spells to cause direct damage by calling out someone's name." Gu Ruochen nodded, then shook his head. "Theoretically, the spiritual energy fluctuations caused by fame won't harm the person, but if you want to summon a spirit, you have to artificially intensify the spiritual energy fluctuations."

"In this case, even I, the deity, will inevitably be impacted."

"Plus, there's an information gap regarding fame. If your fame is too high and your own abilities don't match up, the gap is too huge, and then it's no different from asking someone else to invite a deity."

Gu Ruochen scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"We once had an elder who tried to exploit a loophole. He deliberately used a false name to build momentum everywhere, and then used his true identity to summon the gods. As a result, he was severely backfired and almost died."

"Okay, I understand."

Li Yanmo thought he had found his own way to output, but he didn't expect that the bug had been fixed early on. He felt regretful but also lucky. If he had been so self-righteous as to ask for help from his own god, he would probably have exploded on the spot.

When Gu Ruochen was explaining the principles of the Taoist tradition of summoning gods, Nuyao and Mumei were also listening with great interest.

But after noticing Li Yanmo's slight disappointment, she became confused again and asked directly, "What are you disappointed about?"

Li Yanmo didn't hide his thoughts and spoke directly, "You've all seen the ability of Xuan Yan Ci Zun, who they asked the Divine Sect to invite. I was wondering if I could get some special treatment as the main deity... but it seems that's out of the question."

"Why is there no hope?" Nuyao was even more confused.

“…Because I’m a sucker.”

"I know, but this doesn't conflict with you having a god based on yourself."

Li Yanmo stared at Nuyao for a few seconds, and after confirming that Nuyao was not deliberately making fun of him, he asked, "I don't quite understand."

"Spiritual energy fluctuations, eh? The core of their divine summoning sect is spiritual energy fluctuations," Nv Yao pointed to the various golden elixirs operating in the spiritual energy vortex above her head, continuously producing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. "They will face backlash. Besides the fact that they artificially intercepted the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations, there is a more important reason, which is that these cultivators are producing spiritual energy that is different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and is in line with their own unique characteristics."

"The spiritual energy they produce also has corresponding fluctuations. To the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, those spiritual energy fluctuations are foreign matter. When the two collide, it will naturally cause an impact."

"After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, they no longer generate spiritual energy themselves, but instead influence the laws of the world around them to generate the spiritual energy they need. Therefore, the impact on themselves when summoning spirits is naturally reduced. Of course, if the spiritual energy fluctuations they attract are too strong, it will still have an impact on their bodies."

"Even if they become immortals, they are still aliens to the universe itself, and the impact they will receive will not be any less."

"But you are different. Although you are also producing spiritual energy, what you produce is pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Even if the fluctuations of spiritual energy sweep over, they will not repel your own spiritual energy fluctuations and cause any impact."

Li Yanmo suddenly understood. He didn't quite understand it yet, but he had already determined what he wanted to know: that he could summon a deity based on his own true self, and he wouldn't be killed by his own backlash due to the huge gap between his own strength and fame!
Finally, there is a decent and powerful attack besides the dragon pattern.

But this is still a concept after all. Whether it can succeed or not still needs to be put into practice first.

But how to put it into actual combat becomes a problem.

First of all, it was his first time using the technique of summoning gods, so he might not be able to control the strength well. Moreover, his own fame was too high, which resulted in Xuan Yan Ci Zun's lethality being frighteningly high, so his opponent must not be weak.

Those semi-immortal sect leaders... definitely cannot be found, for many reasons.

The best candidate is indeed Mo Changzai, the veteran in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

First, it is strong enough, and second, it can reveal the truth to Emperor Yu. He needs to rely on gods based on himself to output, and Emperor Yu can't be able to fill in the blanks with his imagination.

Li Yanmo immediately found Mo Changzai and told him that he wanted to try the art of summoning spirits.

Mo Changzai naturally agreed and immediately opened up a space.

After setting up several layers of defensive formations, Mo Changzai shouted nervously, "Sect Master Li, I'm ready!"

Li Yanmo felt that Mo Chang's reaction was a bit too exaggerated. So many layers of defense could almost be called a world barrier.

Even if he, as the original body, would not suffer the backlash of the summoning technique for his own reasons, his realm was just a fake Nascent Soul, and he had only a partial understanding of the summoning technique. According to the calculations of the summoning technique, he could at most attract spiritual energy fluctuations of an area the size of two Risheng Cities using the summoning technique, and there was a very high possibility that he would fail to summon the gods.

"Then I'm coming!"

Li Yanmo's eyes changed instantly. With the blessing of the Emperor's mind method, he was so thick-skinned that he could openly invite the god with himself as the prototype. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of failing to invite the god, Li Yanmo even used the trick of lying.

"Xuan Yan Ci Zun, open your eyes!"

"Click——"

A ray of light penetrated the barrier of darkness and spread into this temporarily opened space.

Li Yanmo was stunned, swallowed subconsciously, and turned his head with a stiff expression.

The barriers of darkness continued to collapse, and the sky slowly opened like an eyelid.

The temporarily opened space was crushed on the spot. Li Yanmo could clearly feel a spiritual energy fluctuation that seemed to destroy the world, but he was like a transparent man. The terrible spiritual energy fluctuation passed through his body and hit Mo Changzai directly.

Mo Changzai's eyes bulged, and he immediately defended with all his might. The magic circle that was like a world barrier collapsed layer by layer, but he finally blocked the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations. But before Mo Changzai could breathe a sigh of relief, a huge chill came over him.

Mo Chang raised his head with difficulty and met those eyes with the sky as the backdrop.

Was that just the sound of them making an appearance?!
