As soon as the runes were involved, the old man's face gradually became serious.

"The development of runes, if you want to trace back, even I don't know where to start, it can be said that from the beginning of chaos, before the universe was born, there were natural runes between heaven and earth, this "heaven and earth" is not the heaven and earth we see now, but refers to the chaotic heaven and earth. Old man Han Feng talked eloquently and said:

"The runes that the cultivators first came into contact with were the veins that those powerful primeval beasts were born to manifest on the bones, containing mysterious and unpredictable power, representing the magical power of that vein of fierce beasts, which was called bone patterns by our cultivators before the primeval period, and then there were ancient powerhouses who comprehended the bone patterns and refined them on the fur of some fierce beasts, so that these furs could exert great power, which was the origin of the spiritual weapons of later generations, and the veins imprinted on the fur of the fierce beasts gradually evolved into the current runes. ”

"Elder, is there any difference between the rune barriers we tested in the Enlightenment Tower earlier and the runes you talked about?" Xia Mu said.

The old man smiled and said, "There is no difference in essence, but the reason why you can draw runes in the air with your bare hands is because of the blessing of the power of the Enlightenment Tower, once you reach the outside world, you can't draw runes in the air without reaching the realm of the Fetal Palace." ”

"Now, I'll show you the most basic runic powers. ”

The old man's right hand was raised, and a spiritual light converged on the tip of his index finger, and then a simple rune was written in the void, the rune flickered, emitting a blazing light, and then burned violently, turning into a flame and floating in the palm of the old man's hand.

"Elder, is this a spiritual technique?" Xia Mu's eyes lit up, feeling the temperature of the flame in the palm of the old man's hand, and he became more and more curious.

"Yes, the cultivation of runes is ultimately to be able to cast spiritual arts, and each spiritual technique is made up of countless runes to communicate with the power of heaven and earth before it can be manifested. Of course, cultivating to the highest realm, all kinds of powerful spiritual techniques are at your fingertips, and there is no difficulty at all. ”

"Elder, tell me a little bit about your deeds. Xia Mu's face showed a look of hope.

Whether it was the discussion of the cultivation path of the day or the rune cultivation of today, the old man's conversation was extraordinary, and it was obviously not as simple as an ordinary elder.

"Back then, ah......" The old man showed a look of memory, and after a moment of amazement and distraction, he sighed: "The world is too big, vast and vast, Dongzhou looks very big, but in the vast chaos, it is just a drop in the ocean, and even the Middle Ages Continent is just a corner of the land, but it is this corner of the place, and it has also walked out of the Divine Mansion back then, and its combat power is comparable to that of the Chaos Beast, and it can break through the road to immortality." ”

Xia Mu was fascinated by what he heard, and at the same time he was also very yearning, and he was even more curious about the old man's experience, and asked, "Elder, what realm have you cultivated now, is it the immortal realm?"

Hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "If you want to know, make yourself strong first." ”

"But, what is powerful?" Xia Mu asked.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said, "I can't answer your question, yes, what is powerful, is stepping into the immortal realm powerful? Not necessarily, if I was strong enough back then, maybe I would be able to change something." ”

Xia Mu was in a daze, he just asked casually, not wanting to cause so much emotion from the old man.

"All I can do is to lead you to the path of cultivation, as for how to be strong, how to be strong, everything depends on you, what I teach you will not be worse than what other geniuses of the same age in the outside world have learned. At the end, the old man's eyes were a little fluttering, with a little vicissitudes and loneliness.

In this way, Xia Mu listened to the old man's preaching, the red sun fell in the west, in the afterglow of the sunset, the whole mountain was dyed with a layer of maple leaves, the tiger roared in the distance, and the spirit birds chirped, but this lawn was as quiet and peaceful as a paradise, and the two figures of an old man and a young man were discussing.

After some exchange, night fell. The old man casually lifted his hand, and a rune rose up, turning into a small sun to illuminate the area, and then continued: "The environment in the Sacred Courtyard is too mild, it is difficult for you to get real experience, and practicing here will not be very helpful for your future path. ”

"Elder, do you have any suggestions?" Xia Mu heard the meaning of the old man's words.

"I'm going to Nanban in the next few days, and I can take you with me, depending on whether you want to or not. Of course, I will be separated from you for a while when I get to Nanban, so you can only move in the outer areas of Nanban. ”

"I am willing to go with the elders to the training. ”

Xia Mu nodded, without a trace of hesitation, he had just broken through and was not in a hurry to break through again, he needed to precipitate in this realm for a period of time, have more understanding and understanding, go to the Southern Barbarians to experience, and fight with fierce beasts, which is very beneficial to his future cultivation.

"Okay, now give you some time to prepare, and we'll leave right away later!" The old man sat cross-legged on the lawn and closed his eyes, leaving little time for Xia Mu, and he was about to leave immediately as soon as he finished speaking.

"Okay!" Xia Mu nodded, immediately turned around and left the mountain, found Di Qing and Gu Feng, and told the situation simply and quickly.

Di Qing and Gu Feng were both stunned, they didn't expect that Xia Mu was going to Nanban to experience as soon as he entered the enlightenment, and they all sweated for him, what kind of place is that? It has always been a paradise for fierce beasts since ancient times, and the Southern Wilderness of Nuoda is only a small part of Nanban, and such a place where the overlord level is everywhere sounds a little terrifying.

"This kind of experience is too risky, isn't it the same to stay in the outer mountain gate to practice?" Gu Feng frowned, a little worried in his heart.

Xia Mu shook his head and said: "Most of the fierce beasts in the outer mountain gate were raised in captivity by our predecessors of the Qiankun Holy Academy, like that black Jiao, although it is a fierce beast, but because they know that we are disciples of the Qiankun Holy Academy, they will not attack us, although this kind of experience is safe, but it can't achieve much effect." ”

He walked very simply, and after comforting his two friends, he quickly returned, carrying the stone knife hidden behind the stone bed behind him, and went straight to the old man, ready to go.

The old man glanced at the stone knife and didn't say anything, but waved his hand as if something had fallen on the stone knife, as if to cover up the mystery for it.

"Now that you're ready, let's go. The old man opened his eyes, his voice was gentle, and he shouted into the sky, "Xiao Hei, come down." ”

"Roar......

In the sky, the black Jiao descended, and its huge body was hidden in the night, and even Xia Mu hadn't noticed it before.

Heijiao poked down into the clouds, and the huge figure made Xia Mu's heart tremble, it was too terrifying, its head was the size of a mountain, which was also too scary.

It was pitch black, with scales and armor, floating in mid-air, as breathtaking as an ancient demon dragon, a pair of blood pupils were huge, and it glanced at Xia Mu coldly, and then rubbed the old man with a huge head "affectionately", and suddenly made a loud rumbling sound.

Xia Mu clearly saw the old man's rickety body tremble a little, obviously this kind of intimacy is not something that anyone can bear, if the body is too weak, he will be killed by the black Jiao if he is not careful.

"Don't be afraid, kid, Xiao Hei won't hurt you. The old man patted Hei Jiao's head lightly, and then led Xia Mu to fly up to Hei Jiao's neck and sat down cross-legged.

With a "roar", the black Jiao groaned, and then turned into a hurricane, and disappeared with the two of them in an instant.

Nanban is located in the southwest direction of Dongzhou, gathering thousands of miles, Dongzhou and Nanban Nanhuang, is the plate bordering the two regions, the so-called deepest part of the Nanhuang, refers to Nanban.

This area has existed since ancient times, and it is still shrouded in a layer of mysterious fog, no one can say what is hidden in the deepest part of the Southern Barbarians, and the part that can be explored now is the part of the Southern Wilderness, and the deeper is the world of overlord-level fierce beasts, and the powerhouses of the immortal realm do not dare to take risks.

The ancient trees here are towering, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the fierce beasts are rampant, it is the most primitive place for the living environment, and it is also the most dangerous area, even many holy dynasties in the Middle Continent do not dare to easily enter the deepest depths.

For the disciples of the sect, the main thing to go to is the edge of the Southern Wilderness, where there are many fierce beast mountain ranges, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, which are forbidden places for cultivators, except for those ancient tribes whose ancestors lived in the Southern Wilderness, there is no one to find them.

Half a month later, Heijiao carried the old man and Xia Mu and finally rushed to the edge of the Southern Wilderness.

When it was still some distance away from the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, the black Jiao stopped in mid-air and did not continue to move forward.

"Is this the Fierce Beast Mountain Range? it's really spectacular!" Xia Mu muttered to himself as he looked at the hazy wild mountain shadow in the distance.

I saw that under the clouds and mist, a huge mountain range, like a prehistoric giant beast, entrenched in that piece of heaven and earth, majestic and vast, revealing a primitive, ancient and fierce atmosphere.

"Yes, in the Southern Wilderness, there are many, many fierce beast mountain ranges like this, this is the outermost fierce beast mountain range, relatively speaking, it is also the safest, with your strength, you can still deal with it, but one thing you have to remember, from here inward, at most thousands of miles, you have to stop, you can't continue to move forward. ”

The old man warned, this is a boundary, once you go deep into a thousand miles, you will encounter an elite-level fierce beast, whose strength is comparable to the realm of Shentai, if Xia Mu encounters it, it will be almost nine deaths, and it will be difficult to even escape, because when it reaches this realm, the most primitive bone patterns will be derived from the body of the fierce beast, and it can exert magical powers.

"Ahh

Rao is Xia Mu was prepared in his heart, but he was also startled, only then did he know how thrilling and lucky he was to wander around in the Southern Wilderness for a few days, just come to an elite-level fierce beast, and he would die.

"The strength of the elite-level fierce beast is not something you can compete with now, it is impossible to even escape, unless you reach the realm of the fetal palace, there is a slight possibility of resistance, otherwise it is a dead end. The old man said in a deep voice.

Xia Mu understood why the old man cautioned him so cautiously, with his current strength, once he encountered an elite-level fierce beast with bone pattern supernatural powers, he couldn't beat it, and he couldn't run away, then there was really only one way to die.

"I'll be careful, Elder, don't worry. Xia Mu said.

He also understood that once he entered the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, the elder would have to leave, and he had his own affairs, and it was impossible to escort Xia Mu all the way, and besides, this would not have any effect on his training.

However, Xia Mu had already made up his mind to pay attention to it, and if he wanted to practice here for a long time, he was not in a hurry.

"Child, the experience is to practice alone, the elder will not go all the way with you, the origin of the stone knife on your body is extraordinary, and it may save your life at a critical moment, but you still have to be careful, if something is wrong, you will withdraw from the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, I will leave first, and I will come back to look for you in three months." ”

The black Jiao took off into the air and disappeared without a trace in a black hurricane, and even Xia Mu couldn't see how it left.
