Above the heavenly people, there are two levels: heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals.

If you want to become a heavenly soldier, you must train to become the first "Fetal Breath Map" of the "True Source Nine Atlas".

If you want to become a heavenly general, you must practice the first three pictures of the "True Source Nine Atlas".

Although this condition is not the only one to be promoted to Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General, it can also be seen the importance of cultivating the True Source Nine Atlas.

Before that, Cheng Yuan could only use the power of pain to add the "Hun Tian True Source Method" and the "True Source Nine Catalogue" drop by drop.

Although the effect of this kind of cultivation is far several times faster than that of ordinary cultivation, it will take at least a few years to cultivate the first "Fetal Breath Diagram" of the True Source Nine Atlas.

It is conceivable that it will take at least one or two decades for ordinary celestials to cultivate the "Fetal Breath Diagram".

But now, Cheng Yuan has found a shortcut.

That is to directly use the power of pain to cultivate the "demigodic state".

Maintaining a "demi-divine state" requires an unbelievable degree of control over the true source, and directly cultivating the "demi-divine state" through the power of systematic suffering has an incredible effect on the cultivation of the "True Source Nine Catalogue".

"If you want to cultivate the Fetal Breath Diagram, you must first successfully run the entire Diagram True Source Route, then try to extend the time of this True Source Movement Method, and finally achieve the natural operation of the Fetal Breath Diagram in the body, which is considered a success. ”

"According to my estimates, using eight drops of painful power to cultivate a semi-divine state can make most of the fetal breath diagram run successfully, so cultivating the entire fetal breath diagram requires at least fifty drops, or even hundreds of drops of painful power!"

Cheng Yuan's eyes lit up.

Although hundreds of drops of pain power sounded like a lot, it was also the matter of him slaying ten mountain ghosts.

He had the hope that in the short term, he would be able to cultivate the Fetal Breath Diagram, and even cultivate the "demigod" to the point where he could fight.

"At least half a month in the last month has been the time of the trial of heaven and man. Brother Huo is the examiner of Youhe County, and I have to stay in Youhe County during this time. ”

Cheng Yuan thought about what are the closest places to Youhe County, where there are a large number of ghosts.

However, he was a mortal martial artist before, so he naturally didn't pay attention to it.

"Just go out and ask those Heavenly Imperial Priests, they should know very well. ”

Cheng Yuan did not hesitate, went out of the small courtyard, and found a leisurely Tianyu priest in the guard, and humbly asked for advice.

Soon, he became clear about the two dangerous places near Youhe County.

One is the Tomb Mountain. One is the Youluo Gorge.

Deserted Tomb Mountain, more than 30 miles away from Youhe County. Decades ago, it was the largest mass graveyard near Youhe County, and a large number of ordinary people in Youhe County were often buried in it if their relatives died.

Of course, like the major families in the city, they even built cemeteries and ancestral halls in the city, and those rich and noble families also had the money to buy good cemeteries around the county for their dead relatives.

Only ordinary people, generation after generation, most of the corpses were buried in the Deserted Tomb Mountain.

This custom has existed for hundreds of years, until in the past hundred years, the Desolate Tomb Mountain has gradually undergone terrible changes, the Yin Qi gathers, the terrible Yin Qi, the corpse Qi, and countless dry bones and corpses, almost turning it into the Underworld, and countless ghosts are born and gather in it.

Since then, the Deserted Tomb Mountain has become a dangerous place, and decades ago, no one dared to bury the remains there.

As for Youluo Gorge, it is a deep canyon more than 60 miles away from Youhe County, and there have been terrible and terrifying legends since ancient times, and no one has ever dared to enter it.

"The Deserted Tomb Mountain is a place where ghosts and creatures gather in the past hundred years. And the Youluo Gorge is unfathomable. ”

The Youluo Gorge is somewhat similar to the Yin Forest and Stygian Valley of the Black Rock Mountains, and no one knows what terrible things are contained in it.

On the contrary, it is a desolate tomb mountain, although it is terrifying, but Cheng Yuan still knows the depth and shallowness.

Cheng Yuan immediately decided to take the Deserted Tomb Mountain as his goal.

"During this time, find an excuse to go to the Deserted Tomb Mountain to hunt ghosts and obtain the power of pain during the day, and come back to cultivate at night. Cheng Yuan made a plan, and suddenly remembered something.

The celestial beings kill ghosts, but those who will produce the power of the underworld are all massive wealth.

Huo Dao once said that the celestials had a special method to store the spiritual power generated by killing ghosts, but he didn't tell Cheng Yuan specifically.

"When I see Brother Huo tomorrow, I have to ask clearly. ”

However, now there is not a drop of his pain power. Cheng Yuan had no choice but to start cultivating step by step.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The night passed.

In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Yuan had been practicing the "Hun Tian True Source Method" for two hours, and the sky had just dawned.

"In the past few days, with the dual cultivation bonus of the power of pain and the True Source Stone, my True Source has increased by more than half compared to when I first became a celestial. ”

Cheng Yuan felt the strange light mist-like energy in his body, which nourished his body at all times, making his whole body full of otherworldly power.

"When I first became a celestial, I had a strength of three thousand catties with all my strength, and now that the true source in my body is so thick, I am afraid that the strength has reached five thousand catties!"

The true source of heaven and man is the power of the body's qi, blood, strength, and all other smelting and birth.

The depth of the true source is directly proportional to the strength of the heavens and men.

He cleaned up, fetched water from a well in the courtyard, washed his face and rinsed his mouth.

The well water was already cold, and after a night of cold, it was extremely cold, and ordinary people couldn't bear it at all.

However, the body of the celestial man is so powerful and magical, Cheng Yuan even feels quite cool and comfortable.

"Today is the trial of heaven and man, the day when the preliminary assessment begins, go to Uncle Nagano and Yunchuan. ”

Cheng Yuan strode out the door.

Today, I feel that in the garrison of the Heavenly Imperial Division, there are also some busy, and there are constantly foreign servants and Heavenly Imperial Divisional soldiers entering, and some are in a hurry.

When he came to the street, Cheng Yuan was even more surprised, the number of pedestrians on the nearby streets had obviously increased, and most of them were looking forward to and excitedly discussing something.

"Today is the selection assessment. ”

"I don't know how many celestials will come out of our Youhe County this year?"

"Who can say for sure? Last year it was two, the year before last it was three, and I guess this year is the number. ”

"I heard that Master Luo of the Xuantong Martial Arts Hall in the south of the city has come to participate in the Heavenly Trial for the last time this year. He's almost forty, and he won't have a chance after this year. ”

Cheng Yuan's ears were shocked, and most of the things he heard them talk about today's trial and assessment.

Obviously, this annual trial of heaven and man is also a prosperous day for the people of Youhe County.

Every time a celestial person is born, that deed will be spread for more than half a year after tea and dinner.

After all, to become a celestial is to ascend to heaven in one step.

Although today's preliminary assessment is still close to an hour before it starts, the square at the main gate of the Tianyu Division is already crowded.

Most of them were pedestrians who came to see the excitement, but Cheng Yuan also saw that many of them were also strong internal martial artists, some were young, and some were slightly older, even close to forty.

"It's not time yet, I guess there will be more people later. Cheng Yuan walked through the crowd and went to the inn where Cheng Yongye and Cheng Yunchuan stayed.

However, I met them halfway through.

"Uncle Nagano, Brother Yunchuan. Cheng Yuan said with a smile.

Cheng Yunchuan looked a little nervous, but his expression was full of anticipation and excitement.

Although it was the first time for him to participate in the Celestial Trial, he also had a hint of longing to become a celestial.

There are many factors that affect the internal strength of martial artists to sprint to the realm of heaven and man, and it is not simply determined by strong strength, strong qi and blood, firm will, or high martial arts realm.
