Chapter 17: Breakthrough, One Heavy
"Shangguan?" Emperor Zun's eyelids twitched, and he said softly, "Haven't you always ignored the world, so now you are still coming out to bring apprentices?"
"Although Shangguan Yimai ignores the world, it does not mean that he is completely out of this world. Shangguan looked at Emperor Zun and said, "After all, we also live in the Aura Continent, and now that the continent is threatened by the Demon Race, what reason is there to continue to hide?"
"So you came out and took this kid as an apprentice?" Emperor Zun looked at He Xuansheng behind Shangguan and asked in a low voice, "Is he a descendant of which family?
With a wave of Shangguan's right hand, a colorless barrier gradually formed around the two of them and He Xuansheng, completely separating the outside space. Then Shangguan said softly: "His surname is He, and he is the son of He Zhen, the head of the He family. ”
"The son of He Zhuo?" Emperor Zun was stunned for a moment, and said softly, "Then this little guy is also a light attribute, and that's why you took him as an apprentice?"
Shangguan looked at He Xuansheng, shook his head and said, "Do you still remember the ancestor of the He family, He Guliu?"
Emperor Zun nodded and said, "Senior He Guliu naturally remembers, after all, the deity of the great battle two thousand years ago was also present, and in the deity's opinion, only Senior He Guliu can be regarded as the first person to protect the spirit!"
Shangguan nodded and said, "Then do you remember his attributes?"
"Attributes?" Emperor Zun was stunned and said, "In my impression, what he has is not just a simple He Jiaguang element, but ...... All Elements! This is an invincible existence for a soul protector. ”
"Then do you know what this child's attributes are?" Shangguan smiled and asked suddenly.
Emperor Zun's face changed, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that this kid's attribute is also an all-elemental?"
Shangguan shook his head and said, "Xuan Sheng, this kid started cultivating the exercises at the age of six, and he had already reached the strength of the ninth turn before he was eight years old. A few days ago, he accepted the attribute traction of the He family, you should know that there is such a thing as a traction ball, and this thing shows that Xuan Sheng's attribute is, no attribute!"
"No attributes?" Emperor Zun said in surprise, "How can you cultivate the exercises without attributes?"
"Hehe, you should be able to tell that he's trying to absorb the spirit beast's spirit body right now. Yesterday he successfully defeated this Golden Spirit Stinging Snake, do you know what I saw in the Spirit Beast Space?"
Emperor Zun shook his head, he couldn't imagine why a non-attribute guy had the ability to cultivate spiritual power.
Shangguan looked at Emperor Zun and said, "In the spirit beast space, I saw an element, but it was not the light element of the He family, but ...... Thunder Elemental!"
"Lei?" Emperor Zun was stunned and said, "So this is the reason why you took him as an apprentice?"
Shangguan smiled, nodded lightly, and said, "To be honest, now that the strength of the demon clan has surpassed us, once those three demon venerables wake up from their cultivation, our human world will face unprecedented difficulties." Coupled with the birth of the so-called Guardian Son eight years ago, the demons will definitely react. ”
"Son of the Soul Protector?" Emperor Zun said softly, "Is that the kid from the Kaiyang family?" one of the two tenfold powerhouses two thousand years ago was indeed from the Kaiyang family, so I think that kid shouldn't be too mediocre in the future!"
"That kid from the Kaiyang family is really good, but it's this kid from the He family who really makes me excited!" Shangguan said, "In my opinion, Xuan Sheng must have some secrets, and these secrets may be the real way for us to fight against the demons!"
"Perhaps!" Emperor Zun said softly, "Do you know what I feel from him?"
Shangguan was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and smiled: "Is there a sense of intimacy?"
Emperor Zun nodded lightly and said, "Then do you know who the last person who made me feel this way?"
Shangguan seemed to dispel his previous concerns, and said with a smile after taking back the spiritual power barrier that protected their master and apprentice: "It's the ancestor of the He family, Senior He Guliu!"
"Definitely. Emperor Zun nodded and said, "Maybe this kid is really the hope of the Aura Continent!"
............
When He Xuansheng woke up from his cultivation, it was already evening, and Emperor Zun had already left here and returned to the central layer.
"Awake?" Feeling the fluctuation of spiritual power that was gradually weakening, looking at He Xuansheng who slowly opened his eyes in front of him, Shangguan said softly, "Do you feel anything?"
He Xuansheng stretched his body slightly, his spiritual power looked inward, and suddenly a trace of joy slowly appeared on He Xuansheng's face.
"Master, I, I've broken through a layer of spiritual power!" He Xuansheng looked at Shangguan and said excitedly.
Shangguan smiled and said, "Then let's see if you can summon the Golden Spirit Stinging Snake?"
He Xuansheng listened to the index finger of his right hand and tapped his eyebrows, and with a turn of his mind, a two-meter snake appeared in front of He Xuansheng out of thin air. The Golden Spirit Stinging Snake turned its head to look at He Xuansheng, and his eyes were less malicious than before, and a little more cordial and soft. He Xuansheng stretched out his hand and tried to touch the head of the golden spirit stinging snake, but he didn't expect that the two-meter little snake not only did not dodge, but obediently rubbed into He Xuansheng's arms, shaking his tail happily.
He Xuansheng excitedly hugged the Golden Spirit Thorn Snake, and said to Shangguan excitedly: "Master, I, I succeeded, am I a spirit beast master now?"
Shangguan chuckled, nodded lightly, and said, "You can now be regarded as a first-grade spirit beast master. When you can completely rely on your own ability to subdue a second-grade spirit beast, you can be regarded as a second-grade spirit beast master, so come on!"
After a night of silence, the next day at dawn, the master and apprentice left the forest after a brief meal. Originally, He Xuansheng wanted to stay in the Qiantian Forest for a while longer, but it was a pity that soon after the Central City, a meeting of ten families would be held to discuss the strategy of fighting the demons in the coming period, as well as some training rules for the son of the soul protector. The He family is one of the ten guardian families, and the head of the family, He Zhuo, will naturally go there in person, and at the same time, in order to allow the young He Xuansheng to increase his knowledge, He Zhuo also decided to take He Xuansheng to Central City together.
After about a day of rushing, when Shangguan and his apprentice finally returned to the He family, He Zhuo was already waiting at the gate of the He family. When he saw He Xuansheng return intact, his hanging heart finally let go, and a smile slowly appeared at He Xuansheng, and said gently: "Welcome home!" And He Xuansheng had already thrown himself into He Xuansheng's arms, refusing to let go like a kitten.
"Brother, you're finally back!" The immature child's voice sounded on the side, He Xuansheng smiled, left his father's embrace, squatted down and gently touched He Xuanyue's little head, and said softly: "Brother is back, has Xuanyue been obedient these days!"
He Xuanyue nodded heavily and said, "Xuanyue is well-behaved, just wait for my brother to come back at home." ”
He Xuan looked at the two children in front of him, and a few tears gradually appeared in the corners of his eyes. At this time, how much he hoped that his wife could still be by his side, watching Xuansheng and Xuanyue's two children grow up slowly with him.....
"Master of the He family. Shangguan stood behind He Xuansheng and whispered to He Xuansheng, "For Xuansheng, this kid, I have some things to discuss with you, so can you arrange a time for the two of us to talk alone?"
He Yan nodded and said, "Of course you can, this time thanks to your care for the kid, sir." So, at six o'clock tonight, how is the He Family Council?"
Shangguan nodded and asked, "Are you going to take Xuan Sheng to the meeting of the Ten Families in two days?"
"Hmm. He Zhuo looked at Shangguan Dao, "I think Xuan Sheng is also eight years old, and he should also take him to contact the Aura Continent." ”
"It's naturally good to be in contact with society. Shangguan thought for a moment and said, "But I hope you must not expose Xuansheng's strength in front of others, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause some criticism." ”
"That's nature, I will naturally protect Xuansheng's secret. Shangguan nodded and said, "That's it, Mr. Guan, you can also attend the ten meetings in five days!"
"Me?" Shangguan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's not suitable, what qualifications do I, an outsider, have to participate in the meeting of the ten families?"
"How can you not be qualified?" He Zhuo said, "First, you are now Xuansheng's teacher, and the Shangguan family has always made indelible contributions to the harmony of the mainland, and you deserve to participate in the meeting." ”
Saying that, He Zhuo turned his head to look at He Xuansheng, and said, "Besides, I may not have much time to take care of Xuansheng at that time, and I have to worry about you more." ”
Shangguan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Well, then I will thank the head of the He family." ”
Five days is fast and fast, and He Xuansheng has been in an intense cultivation and familiar with spirit beasts in the past five days. Early in the morning of the sixth day after He Xuansheng returned home, He Xuansheng followed He Zhuo and Shangguan and other people from the He family to set off for Central City. The He family is a full 2,000 kilometers away from the central city, and it will take no more than a month to travel by carriage alone. Two hundred years ago, people developed something called a space wormhole in order to shorten the time it took to travel, and today, two hundred years later, this technology has long been perfected. People only need to build the same spatial wormhole in two places in advance, and they can travel freely between the two places. Of course, there are still some technical shortcomings in space wormholes at this stage, one of which is the problem of distance. At this stage, the general wormhole can directly cross a distance of 1,000 kilometers, while the top wormhole can span up to 1,500 kilometers.
At first, the first few spatial wormholes were intended to be set up in the center of Shijia and the central city, but people were worried that the demons would invade the human space wormhole and directly enter the Shijia or the central city, so they simply set the spatial wormholes in some second-tier cities. Today, with the increasing number of spatial wormholes, the Ten and Central City still haven't built spatial wormholes, so this time to go to Central City, He Zhuo's group needs to go to a nearby city with spatial wormholes to make two space jumps, and then travel for a period of time to reach Central City.
For He Xuansheng, traveling through the space wormhole is naturally an extremely novel and interesting thing, so since he left the He family, He Xuansheng has been in a state of excitement.
"Dad, can I go out for a walk by myself when you go to the meeting?" He Xuansheng looked at He Yan and said pleadingly.
He Zhuo looked at Shangguan, and after seeing that he didn't react, he nodded and said, "It's okay to go shopping, but you have to bring this." Saying that, He Zhuo handed He Xuansheng a token, and then said: "Once you are in danger, as long as you input a little spiritual power into this token, Dad will rush to your side immediately." ”
After He Xuansheng took the token, he then looked at Shangguan. Shangguan smiled and said, "Xuan Sheng, let Yun Ya follow you when you go out to play, now Yun Ya has reached the strength of two and five turns, which is not bad." ”
"Well, I'll be careful myself!"
