Chapter 80: The Young Man in Black
Great Domain City, a city located in the Extreme of the East on the Eastern Continent. Because www.biquge.info of its remote location, the overall strength of the cultivators is not very high, even if it is the mercenary guild branch in this place, the strength is not much stronger than the mercenary guild in Fengyuan Town. Although it is not strong and its strength is not high, compared to Fengyuan Town, Dayu City is a city after all, and there are still some strong people who gather spirits.
There is also an obvious distribution of power in the Great Domain City, and the first place in the list is undoubtedly the Mercenary Guild. The mercenary guild of this Great Domain City is headed by a mid-term man, named Qin Hai, and his strength does not need to be thought about, he is naturally a strong person at the level of gathering spirits, and he is also the strongest cultivator in the entire Great Domain City, there is no one.
And under the Mercenary Guild, there are the four major families of this Great Domain City. The four major families of Bai, Sun, Yang, and Feng respectively occupy the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the Great Domain City, and the center is left to the Mercenary Guild. The strength of each family is not much worse than the Mercenary Guild, but these four major families are not comparable to Ling Feng, and they know very well what kind of terrible force the Mercenary Guild is, and there are already contradictions between them, so they have never committed any offences with the Mercenary Guild, but it is more often a flattering attitude.
The patriarchs of the four major families, and at the same time as the strongest of the four major families, are all strong spirit-gathering powerhouses, but compared to Qin Hai, they are undoubtedly much worse. Qin Hai is the powerhouse of the Four Transformations of Gathering Spirits, and the patriarchs of the four major families are only three Transformations of Gathering Spirits at best, even if they are combined, they are not Qin Hai's opponents alone.
Speaking of the Gathering Spirit Realm, I have to explain it in detail here. Cultivators have initially mastered spiritual power through the realm of soul fusion, so that they can use spiritual power to quench their bodies and improve their physique, and then use the improved physique to cultivate their divine consciousness, which is to concentrate their minds. These are the three basic realms of a cultivator's cultivation, which are collectively called the foundation building realm, and the fusion of the soul and the body and concentration are actually only the three stages of foundation building in a strict sense.
On the other hand, the next stage of a cultivator's cultivation after building a foundation is the gathering of spirits. Gathering Spirits, since ancient times, is said to be the Nine Transformations of Gathering Spirits, which means that cultivators have to make nine leaps in this realm, and one leap change, that is, from the realm of concentrating to the first change of Gathering Spirits, then two changes, three changes, until the last nine changes are completed, and then there is a breakthrough and enters a higher level.
Of course, this is just a long-standing statement, and at the moment, such a statement is rarely applicable. Cultivators do not need to enter the Nine Transformations before they can continue to transform and step into the next realm. Usually, you only need to complete the three changes to be able to get a glimpse of the sky and seize the opportunity to complete the breakthrough. Of course, this is the situation and choice of the vast majority of cultivators, after three changes, they will step into the next realm, which seems to be more convenient than four changes, five changes or even nine changes, but without the next few jumps, the strength of the cultivators will obviously drop by several levels. At least a cultivator who has stepped into a new realm after the four changes will definitely be stronger than a cultivator who has stepped into a new realm after the three changes.
More importantly, the more times a cultivator jumps in the Gathering Spirit Realm, the higher the cultivator's future achievements will be. Think about the famous Venerable in the entire Absolute God Continent, which one of them did not transform after gathering spirits and above the eight transformations? There was once a Venerable Venerable, because he was greedy in the Gathering Spirit Realm at the beginning, and the three changes directly advanced, which caused his cultivation speed to plummet after that, and he couldn't go any further.
At this time, if it weren't for the ruthlessness of this Venerable, who directly abolished his cultivation and started from scratch, I am afraid that he would really be lost to everyone. And this time he rebuilt the heavy repair, this Venerable learned from the pain, and stayed in the Gathering Spirit Realm for more than ten years, and finally perfected the Nine Transformations before entering the next realm. It is precisely because of such a solid foundation that the subsequent cultivation has been a thousand miles in a day, and soon surpassed the original level, and finally attracted the heavenly opportunity and achieved the Venerable!
Of course, the Absolute God Continent is so vast, there are exceptions to everything. Although it is generally said that the more times a cultivator jumps in the Spirit Gathering Realm, the higher his strength and achievements will be in the future, there are still many examples that break this iron rule. About 3,000 years ago, a cultivator stepped into the Gathering Spirit Realm with the momentum of breaking through the army, and only a few seconds after completing a transformation, he advanced directly in one go, and even crossed the Gathering Spirit Realm with a change of attitude, which was amazed by the world.
All the cultivators who heard about this incident were stunned, they never thought that there would be a person who would break through the Gathering Spirit with a change realm. But then it was questioned, and the future of this cultivator was questioned by countless people. There are many cultivators who think that he will not make an inch in his life, because no matter how much he thinks about it, he can't carry the future growth of a cultivator! And these skeptical crowds also included many Venerable Beings at that time, and soon, almost all of them did not expect anything from this cultivator.
But just about to fall through everyone's glasses, this cultivator has not only advanced, but his momentum is not worse than when he broke through the Gathering Spirit Realm. It was as if there were no obstacles to the path of cultivation, and it only took ten years for this cultivator to achieve the Venerable Realm that countless cultivators had dreamed of, but could not ask for, and stepped into the ranks of the strongest people in the entire Great Domain, shocking all directions. The name of this cultivator has long been forgotten, but the title given to this cultivator by God is also the name that everyone only remembered later: Tianji Venerable was remembered by all cultivators in later generations, because he Tianji Venerable created the myth of the Gathering Spirit Realm.
All in all, as the first realm that a cultivator faces after the foundation is built, the Spirit Gathering Realm is a very important stage, and it can be said that the future of a cultivator depends largely on the choices he makes when he gathers the Spirit Realm.
The narration of the Gathering Spirit Realm has come to an end for the time being, and let's talk about the four major families of this Great Domain City. "The four patriarchs of this Great Domain City are all strong in the Three Transformations of Gathering Spirits, and there are quite a few elders and subordinates under them who are also cultivating in the Gathering Spirit Realm. Even the younger generation, the future patriarchs of the four major families, and the current young patriarchs, are all powerhouses in the Gathering Spirit Realm. You must know that although you have just stepped into the Gathering Spirit Realm and have not yet stabilized, with your family resources and your own efforts, it is already quite good to be able to advance to the Gathering Spirit Realm at the age of twenty. ”
"Eh, really? Are these four young patriarchs really as powerful as you say? With a wicked smile on his face, a cynical look, his tone was full of suspicion and banter, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in tight black, but with a dagger hanging from his waist, although he was talking, his feet were not at ease, and his right foot was constantly rubbing his toes against the ground, I don't know why.
The object of suspicion is just the ordinary guests who can be seen everywhere in the inn, talking about the affairs of the four major families in Dayu City, but they are listened to by this young man who doesn't know where to come in. Forget it if you hear it, it's not something to hide after all. But this young man asked a question very ignorantly.
"Although I haven't met me, this entire Great Domain City is spread like this, and I don't want to have too many deviations, right?" The cultivator was not arrogant, and although he was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who questioned himself, he also seriously answered the teenager's question.
The smile on the face of the black-clothed young man did not decrease, but the words that came out made the cultivator tremble: "Since you haven't seen it, how can you say that the four young patriarchs are very powerful?" The twenty-year-old Gathering Spirit Realm sounds like a joke! As soon as the young man in black finished speaking, he couldn't control himself like a convulsion, and looked up to the sky and laughed. This somewhat crazy look fell into the eyes of the people around him, and there was only one thought in his heart: "Is this young man crazy?" But there were also people who looked nervously around, as if they were sure of something.
"Where did the child come from, dare to laugh at my young master!" Not surprisingly, before the black-clothed young man's laughter lasted long, an angry shout came out and interrupted the young man. When the young man in black heard someone speak, his laughter stopped abruptly, and when he turned his head, it was three cultivators who looked like guards, snatching their swords and rushing towards him.
"Yo, could it be that you are the minions of the so-called four young patriarchs? It depends on the owner to beat the dog, how many of you don't follow the master, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death when you run out? In particular, he accentuated the tone of the word death, and exuded spiritual pressure to match the voice, which actually made the three guards who rushed forward tremble in their hearts, and their footsteps stopped.
"It's really blessed, the master has been humiliated like this, the lackeys don't even dare to bite, I'm afraid your master will be embarrassed when he says it, right?" The smile on his face was even stronger, and there seemed to be no problem with the inconsistency of the words in his mouth, and the young man in black laughed mercilessly at the three guards. Not afraid of the strength of the three guards in the middle stage of condensation, and even in the spiritual pressure battle, although the black-clothed young man did not suppress the other party, he also restricted the opponent's spiritual pressure, making it unable to take effect on him.
"This kid is very strong! I'm afraid a few of us are no matches! Seeing that the spiritual pressure of the three of them was perfectly resisted by the other party, the guards in the middle immediately reacted, the strength of the black-clothed young man in front of him was probably above them, at least it was also a cultivation at the end of the condensation, if they really wanted to fight, the three of them were probably not opponents of the other party. What's more, from the death word that the black-clothed young man bit just now, exuding that trembling aura, the guards were almost certain that this black-clothed young man's subordinates definitely had no less than a hundred lives, and he was a cold-blooded cultivator in the true sense of the word.
"Huh? Aware of something? The young man in black saw through the emotion in the guard's eyes, the corners of his mouth raised an arc, and a strange smile appeared on the young man's face, looking at the guard's eyes, a chill rose in his heart. The figure suddenly disappeared from front of him, and before everyone could react, the spiritual pressure from the black-clothed young man also disappeared completely, as if suddenly, the whole person was swallowed into a different space, and the black-clothed young man only left such a sentence in the end: "Why do you say you know so much?" Knowing so much, isn't that forcing me to kill you? Only the guards who were staring at the young man in black for the last time heard it, and the others didn't know what was going on.
"Forget it, this kid doesn't know what means to run away, let's go, Old Han!" After confirming that the black-clothed boy was gone, the guard's companion put away his weapon, patted the guard on the side, and beckoned the other party. But what his companion didn't expect was that with just such a light pat, the guard fell directly like this, falling heavily to the ground, motionless.
"Hey, Old Han, what's wrong with you?" The companion looked at Lao Han in surprise, squatted down to take a look, and found that it turned out that at the neck of Lao Han, at some point, there was a wound that was almost invisible. Gently brushing it away with his hand, his companion was horrified to find that this wound, which was so small that it could not be easily seen, directly cut Lao Han's entire throat.
There was a chill in his heart, and his companion couldn't imagine that if the black-clothed young man just now didn't choose Lao Han, but chose himself, would his throat be cut directly like Lao Han? Thinking of this, the companion involuntarily touched his throat, which was not tight, "Huh? What does it feel like? "My companion unexpectedly found that something was not quite right around his neck.
"Old Sun, you!" Hearing the voice of another guard, he just wanted to raise his head to look at the other party, but found that it was suddenly dark in front of him, and Lao Sun finally realized what he felt when he touched his neck just now: it was the same as Lao Han, who was left in the throat by the young man in black, that deep wound.
"Shi Yu, what did you just do to stop me?" Not far from the inn at the beginning, in the hidden alley where the sun did not shine, there was a burly young man standing in front of the black-clothed young man, although he was questioning the other party, the black-clothed young man did not use spiritual pressure to oppress the young man named Shi Yu.
"If I hadn't stopped you just now, you would have killed him, right?" Shi Yu looked at the black-clothed young man with some anger and said angrily. "yes, don't you know? Then why are you trying to stop me? The young man in black looked surprised, and he really couldn't understand why Shi Yu already knew what he was going to do, but he still chose to stop himself.
"They don't have a deep grudge against you, why did you kill them?" was almost mad at the young man in black, Shi Yu's originally dark skin turned red at this time. "Please, can you change the character of this good old man, they did it first, I'm just fighting back!" The black-clothed young man finally figured out what Shi Yu wanted to express, and waved his hand, indicating that it was not his reason.
"Even if they do it first, you can't do it!" Shi Yu still insisted on his own point of view. The black-clothed young man said disdainfully: "Come on, Shi Yu, my thoughts with you are not on the same path at all." Originally, our professions are different, you are the one who specializes in guarding others, and I," patted the two daggers on his waist, and the young man in black said with great pride, "But the assassin who lurks in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to obliterate any enemy. If you want me to be merciful to others, that's impossible. If it weren't for you, the last person, do you think he would survive? After finishing speaking, the black-clothed young man snorted coldly, indicating that he was already selling Shi Yu's face.
"You!" Shi Yu still wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, and no matter how he looked at it, the young man in black wouldn't listen to him, and it was just nonsense to say this. His face turned red, and the young man in black couldn't stand it anymore with an aggrieved look: "Forget it, it's a big deal, when I want to kill someone in the future, as long as you feel wrong, you can jump out and stop me, okay?" "In the end, he has a good relationship with Shi Yu, and the young man in black sold Shi Yu a face.
"No, you have to completely change the cold tomb!" Although the black-clothed young man Leng Tomb has already given Shi Yu a lot of face, at least Leng Tomb himself thinks so, but Shi Yu does not give up, and Leng Tomb must get rid of this bad habit.
"It's really endless, I can't afford to mess with you, I'm hiding, right?" I really couldn't accept Shi Yu's opinion, the spiritual power moved for a while, and the whole person of the cold tomb gradually disappeared in place, but he couldn't stand Shi Yu's verbosity, and the soles of his feet were oiled and slipped away!
