Chapter 8888: A Test
As Jiang Yun asked this question, the Cang Ding suddenly became extremely quiet, and time seemed to have stopped.
Ji Kongfan and Jiang Yun just stared at each other, without saying a word or moving.
After a moment, Ji Kongfan laughed first, breaking the silence and said, "You asked a good question!"
"I don't have an accurate answer to what that figure is."
"At first, I thought he was the innate Ding pattern of the Cang Ding transformed into a human form, or the consciousness of the innate Ding pattern, or something like that."
"But as I fought with him, I found that it was not the case."
"I can only say that his role is to protect the innate Ding pattern."
"And the reason why I can't fully control the innate Ding pattern is that I have to fight with him and compete with him."
"Only by eliminating him can I completely control the innate Ding pattern."
"At present, we are evenly matched."
Jiang Yun did not disbelieve Ji Kongfan's answer, nor did he believe it completely.
He thought that the answer given by Ji Kongfan should be half true and half false.
The true part is that Ji Kongfan should indeed fight against that figure.
The false part is the speculation about the identity of that figure.
Because there is also a boy hidden in the innate pattern of the red tripod.
The boy did not seem to be guarding the innate pattern of the red tripod to Jiang Yun.
Otherwise, he should not have given him the innate patterns of the other eight tripods, let alone told him the nursery rhyme.
In particular, the content described in the nursery rhyme was clearly made up from the perspective of an outsider standing outside the nine tripods.
In addition, Jiang Yun did not believe that Ji Kongfan said that he and the figure were evenly matched.
Although Jiang Yun did not fight with the boy in the red tripod, he remembered it clearly.
When he escaped from the innate pattern of the blue tripod, he could clearly feel that the vague figure brought him a strong smell of decay.
Even if Jiang Yun now meets that blurry figure again, he dare not say that he can be his opponent.
And Ji Kongfan, although he has mastered the laws of heaven and is a master of refining.
But his real strength is just that of a cultivator who has not even entered the transcendental realm.
Let alone competing with that figure, to put it bluntly, he is not qualified to compete with the other party!
The only feasible way for Ji Kongfan to compete with the figure is to use the power of the innate dingwen of Cang Ding!
This is also what Ji Kongfan is good at.
But if that is the case, the figure cannot be guarding the innate dingwen of Cang Ding, but should be the opposite.
The figure and the innate dingwen are enemies!
The arrival of Ji Kongfan makes the figure want to kill or take over Ji Kongfan and use Ji Kongfan to deal with the innate dingwen of Cang Ding.
Of course, the innate dingwen will not agree, so he will lend his power to Ji Kongfan.
But the innate dingwen does not dare to give all his power to Ji Kongfan without reservation.
Therefore, Ji Kongfan is the target that both sides want to win over, and at the same time, the target that both sides want to use or kill!
Although he understood this, Jiang Yun still couldn't tell whether the Ji Kongfan in front of him was the real him, or was he controlled by Cang Ding or that figure.
Ji Kongfan retracted his gaze from Jiang Yun and turned to look inside the Cang Ding, and continued: "This is why I lost my composure just now."
"I suspect that there should be such a figure in the innate Ding pattern of each Ding."
"And anyone who wants to comprehend the innate Ding pattern must fight with such a figure."
"You also said that you have the innate Ding pattern of the eight Dings on your body. With your personality, you will definitely try to comprehend the innate Ding pattern."
"In that case, you will be very dangerous."
Jiang Yun suddenly spoke, following Ji Kongfan's words, and said word by word: "Is it dangerous enough that I might be controlled by those figures, or have my body and soul taken away by them?"
After saying that, Jiang Yun's eyes stared at Ji Kongfan, observing his reaction.
As for Jiang Yun's question, Ji Kongfan did not answer, but just stood there silently, but his almost transparent body was rippling slightly.
Another moment of silence passed, and Ji Kongfan spoke up: "As long as you don't touch them, the danger will naturally not be that great."
"Of course, if you believe me, you can also give me all the innate patterns of the eight tripods."
"I have some experience dealing with them."
Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "Senior Ji, in my heart, you are like my father and master."
"You want my life, I can give it to you."
"But unfortunately, I don't know how those innate patterns entered my body, nor can I find where they are hidden."
"How about this, Senior Ji, since you have experience, then see if you can find those innate patterns and take them away."
This is naturally a test of Ji Kongfan by Jiang Yun!
If it is the real Ji Kongfan, it is absolutely impossible to ask Jiang Yun for anything, and it is even more impossible to search Jiang Yun's body and take away the innate patterns.
But if it is a fake Ji Kongfan, or Ji Kongfan who is controlled by someone, it may not be the case.
As Jiang Yun finished speaking, Ji Kongfan's body was filled with more and more ripples, which seemed to represent that he was in the midst of a fierce decision.
Finally, Ji Kongfan said, "Then I'll give it a try!"
Jiang Yun's heart sank to the bottom, but he still smiled and said, "Okay."
Ji Kongfan continued, "My spiritual sense may not be as strong as yours. If I use my spiritual sense alone, I probably won't be able to find it."
"So, I'm going to use the power of the innate cauldron pattern of the Cang Ding directly to see if I can draw out the innate cauldron pattern of the Cang Ding."
Eight cauldrons' innate cauldron patterns actually only took back half of each.
Although Jiang Yun didn't know whether the innate cauldron pattern that the boy gave him was complete or only half, Ji Kongfan's words were feasible.
Use half of the innate cauldron pattern to draw out the other half.
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Senior, just let go and do it."
"The process will definitely be painful, just bear with it!"
After Ji Kongfan finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand and patted Jiang Yun's chest.
Jiang Yun really didn't resist.
In addition to testing Ji Kongfan, Jiang Yun also wanted to test the eight innate patterns in his body.
After all, they were not under his control.
Although it could improve his strength, it would also be a hidden danger.
If Ji Kongfan could take it away, even if it was just the innate patterns belonging to the Cang Ding, it would not be a loss for Jiang Yun.
As for whether Ji Kongfan would take the opportunity to hurt himself, Jiang Yun was of course prepared.
However, just when Ji Kongfan's palm touched Jiang Yun's body, a loud "boom" sounded suddenly.
The entire Cang Ding shook violently, and then the sky and the earth turned, and those star worlds, including Jiang Yun and Ji Kongfan, all fell down.
The mouth of the Ding, which was originally on the top, appeared below.
The seals on it all disappeared.
A strong suction force came from the mouth of the cauldron, enveloping the bodies of the two and pulling them towards the mouth of the cauldron.
