Chapter 5: The Omen of Theft

Twilight.

When the sun sets down the night, it is as if the whole world is plunged into silence.

Jian Bufan finished handling some trivial matters and returned to his room, the sky was already completely dark. Behind the night, there are soft footsteps gradually approaching.

Jian He appeared at the door of the room and smiled at Jian Bufan.

"This day, tired, right?"

His tone was kind, as if he was not at all annoyed by Jian Bufan's acceptance of the bet. In the night, his voice was like a warm current, flowing in Jian Bufan's heart.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you've done well enough, rest early."

Jian Bufan watched his father go away silently, under the candlelight, he stood quietly, for a long time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he felt a wonderful sense of satisfaction.

"If you don't work hard to cultivate, just wait for the white-haired people to send the black-haired people."

Morgana's voice rang out abruptly, breaking the peaceful atmosphere in the candlelight.

"That Galen is in the seventh realm, and you can only start from scratch now, don't expect me to make another move, there is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the palace, and my move is very likely to be detected."

"Then you still let me accept the bet......

Jian Bufan was speechless for a moment, "In three months, I want to start from scratch, and how many realms can I break through?" ”

The so-called realm is real in this world.

Eighteen realms.

They represent eighteen realms, and each time one realm is raised, the strength will be greatly improved. Then Galen was in the seventh of the eighteen realms.

The process of cultivating and improving one's realm by absorbing the essence of life between heaven and earth is to cause qualitative change through quantitative change.

It's going to be a long process, for example.

Jian Bufan began to break through the realm at the age of four, and after ten years of penance, he reached the sixth realm of the eighteen realms, and at such a speed, he was praised as a supreme genius by the world, which is rare in a hundred years.

And now, Jian Bufan is starting from scratch, and in three months, how many realms can he reach?

Eighteen realms, the more you reach the later realms, the more difficult it is to improve.

For example, when he suppressed Galen of the same generation, he was in the sixth realm two years ago, such a peerless genius, but it took two full years to break through from the sixth realm to the seventh realm.

After the eighteen realms, it is extraordinary.

After transcendence, he is the grandmaster, and after the grandmaster, he can be called the king, that is, the realm of kings.

After the king, there are many great realms, but the ultimate goal of the realm breaker is only one, and that is-

Become a god!

Of course, those are still too far away for the current sword Bufan.

What he needs to focus on now is how to cross the first hurdle and go from zero to one.

"Rest assured, inside the Rune Tower...... Three months is almost enough. ”

Morgana's response came to mind.

Jian Bufan thought for a moment and asked, "You said that the Rune Tower is housed in my body, so do I have to accept the test of the Rune Tower now?" ”

"Just you?"

Morgana's laughter came from his mind, making Jian Bufan's scalp tingle for a while, "You are too weak now, and the Rune Tower has no interest in testing you for the time being." ”

Immediately afterward, Morgana's voice was filled with a hint of a smile.

"Traditionally, though, the Rune Tower will give you, the intended owner, a greeting gift, and now, close your eyes."

Jian Bufan sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

For a moment, his soul seemed to be forcibly pulled into a dark world, and a terrible sound resounded around him, like a ghost crying and howling.

A familiar scene......

Jian Bufan fell into the bottomless abyss in the darkness, and continued to fall in it, and finally, he saw a strange ghostly light flickering below.

He saw the great black rose again.

I saw the purple figure, standing among the bleeding buds, wearing a purple dress, like a ghost bride, revealing a strange and shuddering beauty.

Morgana!

She wore a full makeup and a flower crown, and smiled softly at Jian Bufan, who was floating in the air.

Although Jian Bufan had already been mentally prepared, when he actually saw Morgana again, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

Behind Morgana, a majestic tower stood silently.

Last time, Jian Bufan didn't look closely at this giant tower, but now, he focused all his attention on this giant tower.

Mysterious, mysterious!

This is Jian Bufan's most intuitive feeling for this giant tower.

It has nine floors, as if cast in bronze, and exudes an ancient atmosphere.

Around it, there is a strange light and a colorful light. It seems that all the mysteries of the world are hidden in it, and one glance makes people involuntarily fall into it.

"This is the Rune Tower, the real supreme divine ......"

Morgana opened her mouth faintly, slowly raised her hand, as if grasping a rope, and pulled Jian Bufan, who was floating in the void, to her side.

The sword is extraordinary, and it is like falling into an ice cave in an instant.

Feeling a chill and shiver from the depths of his soul, he didn't even dare to turn his head to look at Morgana up close.

At the same time, he smelled a strange fragrance.

It seems to be emanating from the black roses under his feet, and it seems to come from his own side......

"Go to the Rune Tower to practice, and when you break through to the first realm inside, you will be able to get a greeting gift."

Morgana's voice came from behind him, and then, Jian Bufan felt a pair of hands behind him.

Cold.

It was Jian Bufan's only feeling for these hands.

With a gentle push of these hands, Jian Bufan slowly floated towards the bronze door at the bottom of the rune tower, and the rune tower seemed to have a sense, and the bronze door bloomed with a dazzling light, instantly submerging Jian Bufan.

When the light completely dissipated, what came into Jian Bufan's eyes was endless darkness and dead silence.

"Is this the inside of the Rune Tower?"

Jian Bufan muttered to himself, and suddenly, he saw that the darkness lit up with nine light clusters, floating in the air, like nine suns, shining brightly.

Jian Bufan tried to touch it, but found that he couldn't touch anything.

He remembered what Morgana had said, he had to cultivate here to the first realm in order to receive the 'greeting gift' of the Rune Tower.

So, Jian Bufan sat cross-legged on the ground, trying to absorb the essence of heaven and earth.

Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth does not require any exercises, anyone only needs to enter meditation, and the meridians of the body will actively absorb the essence into the body.

The difference between people is the difference between talent and physique.

Most of this difference is reflected in the speed at which the body absorbs essence.

If an ordinary person with no talent wants to step into the first realm, if he is lucky, it may take ten years. However, more ordinary people will not be able to complete the breakthrough from zero to one even if they meditate all their lives.

And a gifted person only needs two or three years to break through to the first realm.

Jian Bufan began to meditate at the age of four, and it only took one year to reach the first realm.

This is the gap between geniuses and ordinary people.

Demacia has a strong population base, and the Border Breakers account for about one-fiftieth of this population base, which can only be counted as a small number of people.

Other countries are similar, perhaps worse.

In such a world, ordinary people are not qualified to go to war at all, and every country is trying its best to cultivate Realm Breakers.

To this end, each country has a number of laws and policies in place.

or inspiring, or rewarding, or mandatory......

At this time, Jian Bufan left all his complicated thoughts behind, his mind was ethereal, and he finally entered a real meditative state.

In an instant, the rich essence in the rune tower surged towards him, like a mountain and a sea.

Jian Bufan felt an extremely comfortable feeling, and every cell in his body seemed to cheer.

It's like an incomparably dry soil that has finally been moistened by the rain and is becoming fertile at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

I don't know how long it took for Jian Bufan to wake up from meditation.

He just got up and walked around, and finally sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.

I don't know how long it was, but it was a long time, and Jian Bufan broke free from meditation again.

This time, he looked a little flustered, looking around for the exit of the Rune Tower, but found nothing, and finally sat down on the ground.

"It's weird."

Jian Bufan muttered to himself.

"I've meditated on this rune tower for at least three days, but I don't feel any tiredness, hunger, or sleepiness. It doesn't matter, what matters, what happens to my physical body?

I couldn't eat or drink for three days, like a vegetative person, and I guess my father was going to be in a hurry. ”

Jian Bufan originally thought that cultivating here was indirect, and he could enter and exit at any time, but he didn't expect that if he didn't break through to the first realm, he wouldn't even have an exit.

It's too ruthless.

Jian Bufan gritted his teeth, but it was useless to think about it now, only to break through to the first realm as soon as possible.

As a result, Jian Bufan once again fell into a long meditation.

I don't know how long it has been, but in Jian Bufan's calculations, at least a month has passed.

At this moment, Jian Bufan couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and shouted, "Let me out!" ”

However, there was no response.

In the silent world, only the nine clusters of light floated silently.

Jian Bufan even kept calling Morgana, but it didn't work.

He sat down on the ground in a daze.

For more than a month here, he didn't feel tired or hungry, but he could feel a very real sense of loneliness.

This is torment for Jian Bufan, but it is not unbearable, the important thing is: "For more than a month, my body in reality may be about to die......"

This is what makes Jian Bufan the most terrifying.

But now, fear is useless either. Jian Bufan regained his strength and once again entered a new round of meditation.

It's a long process.

Jian Bufan was no longer even sensitive to the passage of time, only a vague feeling had passed for a long, long time.

Finally, in this silent world, a dull voice sounded.

It sounded like a barrier being breached......

Jian Bufan opened his eyes suddenly, feeling the changes in himself, and was ecstatic.

In his body, there was a barrier that broke open under the impact of the essence qi!

At this moment, Jian Bufan clearly felt that his body had changed unusually from before.

The essence roamed within him, as if it had become a part of his body, his blood.

Strength......

He finally had the power of his own.

This is a breakthrough from zero to one, he has finally reached the first realm at this moment, and has become a real realm breaker!

Standing up, Jian Bufan realized that the nine light clusters were not so untouchable.

"The Rune Tower's 'Greeting Gift' should be among them, right?"

Jian Bufan tried to reach out and touch one of the light clusters, but the light cluster turned around and fled.

Jian Bufan was dumbfounded.

"Is this disgusting me?"

He didn't give up and tried to make contact with the next light cluster, but the result was still ......

It wasn't until he came to the last of the light that the unexpected happened.

That ball of light, before he could stretch out his hand, rushed into his body in an instant.

Jian Bufan felt it carefully, and his eyes widened suddenly.

It turned out to be a rune!

It was shaped like an octagonal shape, printed on a golden disc, and emitted a colorful light around it, which was thus engraved in Jian Bufan's body.

"The ...... of Theft"

Jian Bufan inexplicably had some more information in his mind, which was about this rune.

"Theft Omen, when the owner of this rune has contact with other people's bodies, this rune has a certain chance that it can randomly steal items or skills from others."
