This world has always been dangerous, in the ancient times humans were still living in the form of tribes, in order to face all kinds of powerful elves in the natural world, ancient humans had to choose some of them with milder personalities to worship and pray for their protection.

This is the original divine beast.

For example, the Phoenix King, Lokia, Dream, Guraton, Gaioca, Cracked Sky Seat, Arceus, Giratina, etc., were all 'gods' that were worshipped in that era.

Later, someone invented the most primitive elven sealing technology, and slowly mankind entered the dynastic era from the tribal era, which is what modern people call the ancient era.

The elf sealing technology allowed people in ancient times to control and tame some elves, so that the danger of facing ordinary elves in nature was greatly reduced, and the range of activities and survival ability of people at that time was greatly expanded, which was also the main reason why the dynasty could be formed.

Of course, in the face of those extremely powerful legendary spirits, people in ancient times still had no ability to resist, so the worship of gods continued.

However, the yearning for freedom exists in everyone's heart, and the rulers of one dynasty are not satisfied with the existence of so-called gods who can make them rebel with a single word, and they have privately studied techniques that can make ordinary elves more powerful, or directly seal the gods.

This is the origin of the secret technique and the element of civilization, and countless geniuses have succeeded each other and died.

To a certain extent, this directly led to the formation of the dark period in the late antiquity!

At the end of the ancient era, the emperor of a large dynasty was ambitious and majestic, and his distant and close attacks gradually swallowed up the surrounding dynasties, and his power was so great that he even ruled most of the territory of the current four major regions!

This person is the emperor of the Dark Ages with the title of the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, Oda Naganobu!

The mythical beasts only care about whether the human worship is timely, and some don't even care about the offering, they just like the quiet life created by the human being, and they don't care who is worshipping them.

After destroying most of the powerful countries, Oda Naganobu did not care about the few remaining small countries, and instead forcibly gathered the descendants of various ancient families, the heirs of mysterious powers, etc., and opened up most of the materials and results of secret research, including his own kingdom and all the countries that he exterminated.

With the help of this group of the most intelligent and knowledgeable people in the world at that time and the knowledge and experience accumulated by hundreds of years of various countries, it took a full ten years, during which countless money, treasures, and elves were consumed, and finally he finally cultivated a terrifying elf.

A demon dragon!

The world's first dark elf!

This demon dragon is the first elemental-level elf that humans have truly cultivated in recorded history, and it is even more powerful than most of the enshrined divine beasts!

After obtaining the Demon Dragon, Oda Naganobu was ambitious and wanted to destroy all the so-called divine beasts that were worshiped by humans.

He eliminated many weak gods one after another, and then, Oda Naganobu set his sights on the Phoenix King.

No one knows the details of this battle, and the history books only record that the burning clouds in the sky burned for seven days and seven nights, a high mountain was melted into a magma lake, and on the sixth day, the demon king Oda Naganobu, the powerful demon dragon, and the 3,000 Praetorian Guards he brought with him, none of them survived.

After the death of Oda Naganobu, several of his sons fought each other for the throne, and the group of people he had gathered to cultivate the demon dragon scattered, and the vast empire was suddenly torn apart.

A few years later, several of the abandoned royal families who had been destroyed rebelled one after another, and more than one of them reached the elemental level, but Oda Naganobu's sons were seriously attritional in the internal fighting, and they were defeated and killed.

The country laid down by Oda Nagannobu, who once unified the world and was feared by the world, disappeared, but the major imperial families did not choose to restore the country, but united with some forces that took advantage of the opportunity to rise, forming a new force with a new parliamentary system.

The name of this force is called the Elven Alliance!

The royal family of the country that once worshipped King Feng chose to become a monk and practice, continued to worship King Feng, and built a bell tower for him.

The people of the water, who once worshipped Lokia and had the ability to control water, established the Poseidon Temple.

The royal family, which was once dedicated to Arceus, established the Temple of Midina.

In addition, there are many other strengths, some of which have disappeared in the course of historical development, and some of which have remained until now, such as the Yamadera family, which once worshipped dreams and controlled the power of the waveguide.

Long had been studying the diary all night, and it did not mention the history of the origin of the Elven Alliance, but it did mention the study of qi by people in ancient times.

You must know that in order to get rid of the control of the divine beasts and completely dominate this world, the people at that time did not completely put their hopes on the elves.

Superpowers! The power of the waveguide! The power of Tokiwa! Cursed power! Gas! Chakra blah blah blah!

People are studying various powerful abilities, among which the main force in the army, the ancient samurai lineage, has discovered the strengthening effect of qi on the body, but there is no clue how to go further.

The research at that time also laid the groundwork for the courage and momentum that emerged after the establishment of the alliance.

"According to the notes, although the paths taken by the spirit and momentum are completely different, the end point is actually the same, that is, to strengthen a person's essence, qi, and spirit step by step, and then combine the three that have reached the limit into one." Long Yi closed the journal and tapped his fingers on the table in contemplation.

It's not that you don't need to strengthen your god if you walk with spirit, and it doesn't mean that you don't need to strengthen your body if you walk with momentum.

This is not right.

No matter which path one takes, the three spirits, spirits, and spirits must reach the limit that one can reach, so that it is possible to go further and condense the spirit or momentum to succeed.

The only difference is that a samurai who walks with qi needs to strengthen his body with qi, and a stronger body can condense more qi.

And when the body is strong, the spirit will naturally be better, which is actually the reason for the improvement of one's own spirit under the long-term maintenance of a strong body.

A samurai who walks with momentum uses qi to strengthen his spirit, and when his spirit is strong, he can use his contemplation to strengthen his qi.

However, a strong spirit requires a stronger body to accommodate it, so it is also necessary to depart a part of the qi to strengthen the body when cultivating.

The spirit flow samurai cannot strengthen the spirit with qi, and the body is stronger than the spirit for a long time.

Imposing samurai can only use qi to strengthen their bodies when their spirits are too strong for their bodies to support them.

It can be said that since Long Yi first strengthened his body with qi, he has already embarked on the path of qi flow, but he doesn't know it.

"According to the diary, the Qi Flow is actually the orthodoxy of the samurai, and although the Qi Flow is more troublesome to cultivate, it is essentially an evil sect, but it can be 'immortal', which is incomparable to the Qi Qi Flow martial artists.

But there is a premise for this 'eternal life', and the hidden danger is very great.

"The Qi Flow itself doesn't require any cultivation methods, although some secret methods can make the effect of Qi strengthening the body better and shorten the cultivation time, but there is not much difference between having and not having it, it's just a matter of time or time."

"The only thing I lack is a last-minute way to gather my spirit!"

This is the most important point, without a specific method, there is no way to talk about condensing qi, and Long Yi will never be able to compare with the elemental level elves.

Unfortunately, this method is not written in the diary in his hand.

"There must be such a method in the alliance, but I don't know if there is one in Shueisha, and if so, what price is required to get it."

Long Yi muttered.

After a while, he put the diary in a wooden box, looked at the time, and went back to bed for a nap.

……

The next day, Long Yi had a rare sleep.

It was almost noon, and the dragon got up for his daily workout, and then went to the elf center after lunch to retrieve the treated Flying Mantis.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he took an airship and went to the international city next to his hometown Guchen Town, Orange City.

Eight hours later, the airboat landed in Orange City, and Long Yi stayed at the Orange City Hotel for one night, and returned to Guchen Town early the next morning.

He was in a good time this time, and when he came home, he happened to meet his father Takashi Miyazaki, who had a rare vacation.

After a warm reunion, Ryuichi said at the dinner table that he had applied for early graduation and was preparing to participate in the Kanto Shueisha branch assessment.

Although there was some reluctance and some disapproval, in the end, Takashi Miyazaki and Mieko agreed with Ryuichi's impulse and gave him the encouragement he deserved.

On the contrary, it was the most sticky sister of Ryuichi before, Mayuki, who sulked all night because of this.

It wasn't until later that Ryuichi said that if he gained a firm foothold in Kanto, he could take Mieko and Mayu over to live together, which made this cute sister burst into tears and laughed again.

As for his father, Takashi Miyazaki, he spends most of the year outside for archaeology, and he and his family are originally less together and more separated.

After staying at home for one night, the next day Ryuichi went to the abandoned villa in the town, intending to trouble the dream demon.

But it backfired, he searched the villa inside and out, and even spent the night inside, and found no trace of the dream demon at all.

It seems that the dream demon left after the last curse on the painting, and even the breath left behind has disappeared.

Long Yi stayed in Guchen Town for three days, but he really couldn't find the dream demon, so he could only set off on the road, go to Orange City to take an airship, and fly to the Kanto Quartz Plateau.

It is not only the venue for the annual Kanto Quartz Tournament, but also the branch of the Kanto Federation, and the Kanto branch of Shueisha is located on this quartz-filled plateau.

Six hours later, the airship landed.
