So far, there are only two imaginary zones set by the ruin master himself. One is the void area of the Neno continent where Ning Yuan is now located, called "Regeneration", and the other is the "Creed" void area that determined the status of the countries in the Stars Coalition Government thirty years ago. Ning Yuan's father was one of the Zhuxia players who were selected to enter that void area.

The popularity of the virtual zone game has indeed reduced many disputes in reality, but it has also made modern people become squatting at home as long as they are not paying attention.

And that's exactly what happened.

Both work and study can be carried out in the virtual world, and transactions can be completed in the virtual area in addition to the distribution of physical objects, so many people in the reality of many stars may not really go out for a few months. Ning Yuan once had the experience of staying at home without leaving the house for a whole year.

The lack of practical exercise, the general decline in physical fitness, is not difficult to understand.

But how to say it? The floor of the basic physical fitness of the star-like beings is still very thick, so this decline has not reached the point of worry.

Ning Yuan also didn't pay the slightest attention until he really realized it. But now, Ning Yuan was shocked by the weakness of the physical foundation of the Star players.

This is quite different from that of the aborigines.

The continent of Nino is a world where cultivation civilization and technological civilization merge, and it is also a world full of war and danger.

The simultaneous existence of war and extraordinary strength, coupled with the abundant resources of the Nino Continent, makes the actual physical fitness of the aborigines much better than that of the player, and even if they have not become a cultivator, the body trained by the city-state military training and other activities is not comparable to the player's actual weak body.

Therefore, the description of human-level cultivation in the exercises is not misleading, and it is not written because this is common knowledge in the Neno Continent, and it is strange to write it.

After thinking about it, Ning Yuan could only silently mourn for the player. Originally, it was inferred that with the player's cultivation speed, the competition with the aborigines in the same realm should have the upper hand, but now it seems that it may not be.

"Maybe we should publish this finding after we get the hukou activation player forum." Ning Yuan thought silently.

"But now that the coalition government has made it clear that everyone is in competition with future bargaining chips, will anyone believe in such a thing that obviously requires slowing down the pace of cultivation?"

"But it has to be done."

Shaking his head, Ning Yuan stopped his somewhat divergent thoughts.

There is no doubt that this "Heart-Asking Tablet Forest" is not only the final test of the secret realm, but also a reward for cultivation. He will greatly consolidate Ningyuan's foundation and consolidate Ningyuan's foundation.

"Cultivation is the sea of suffering, the physical body is the boat that crosses the sea of suffering, and the primordial spirit (soul) is the oarsman on the boat. Only a sturdy boat can be ferried by the oarsman in the sea of suffering. ”

The stele forest in front of Ning Yuan is an excellent place to consolidate the physical body, the "bitter sea boat", and not only the physical body, but also the foundation of the spiritual will is also a great opportunity here.

With such an association, Ning Yuan found that if he really wanted to say something, perhaps the biggest effect of the "Asking Heart Potential" existing in this "Asking Heart Stone Forest" was to consolidate the foundation of the inheritor's spirit and spirit.

After thinking about it, Ning Yuan found that the tingling sensation in his body began to weaken, and after sensing it, he understood that the evolution of his body's strength could no longer be satisfied. So I moved forward again.

In this way, after about half a month or so, Ning Yuan finally reached the distance of eighty-one steps purely by virtue of his physical body.

At this time, although Ning Yuan's appearance had not changed too significantly, the luster of his skin was very different from before. To put it simply, Ning Yuan's skin was as smooth as jade at this time, with a feeling of tightness and firmness, and a sense of luster of porcelain. The muscles in the body become stronger, and it naturally gives people a feeling of being lean. The eyes also naturally become clear and sharp. However, this is mainly the effect of "asking the heart" murmuring.

Ning Yuan found that every time the whispers that appeared directly in his consciousness disappeared, his thinking would become a little faster, and it seemed that the distracting thoughts and impurities in his spiritual will were also taken away when the whispers disappeared.

If the spiritual will attribute is expressed as a numerical value, then the original Ning Yuan was only 50, but after the baptism of "whispering in the heart", it is now almost 55 points. It can be said that the effect is very obvious.

However, with the purification of the spiritual will, the pressure that directly acted on the spiritual will became more and more intense, and at this time, Ning Yuan obviously felt the slowdown in his thinking speed.

Obviously perceiving the purification of spiritual will and the improvement of thinking ability, but under the invisible pressure, he felt the stagnation of thinking, and this contradictory feeling made Ning Yuan very uncomfortable.

Before taking the eighty-second step, Ning Yuan re-transported the internal qi, and obviously felt that the speed of the internal qi had increased a lot.

Ning Yuan, who filled his whole body with internal qi, cautiously took the eighty-second step.

With one step, the pressure suddenly doubled, Ning Yuan's body sank suddenly, and the whisper without any emotion in his consciousness sounded again: "What is it?" ”

"Practice." Ning Yuan replied subconsciously in his consciousness.

The whisper disappeared, but Ning Yuan's consciousness suddenly sank, and the suffocating spiritual pressure came. All of Ning Yuan's spiritual wills naturally "coiled" together to resist this drowning pressure.

Although Ning Yuan, who was concentrating all his energy on resisting the mental pressure, didn't know why his answer was "cultivation", there was no doubt that his truest purpose now was indeed to consolidate his foundation with the double pressure of "the power of asking the heart".

Through the eighty-one steps ahead, Ning Yuan could feel that his physical body had reached the limit of the middle stage of the military rank. But it's not enough, he wants to become stronger, he wants to use this pressure and the secret method of "Refining Nine Locked Bodies" to completely make up for his lack of "fitness" talent.

Ning Yuan, who was slowly running the Nine Locks of Refining Body, could feel that the physical body that had already felt that it had reached the limit had begun to strengthen again, and not only the physical body, but also the Nine Refining Internal Qi operating in the body had also begun to purify under this invisible pressure.

Feeling the changes in his body, Ning Yuan's thoughts, who resisted stubbornly under the weight of his drowning spirit, relaxed a little and became more tenacious.

Just when Ning Yuan was "in pain and happy" in the stele forest, the "Torture Eye" station in Coca City ushered in two distinguished guests.

Soon after being respectfully greeted by Xu Yong into the station, a small floating boat for cultivators rose from the square of the station, and then turned around and flew towards the Longshou Mountain Range. The three people standing on the boat were Xu Yong and the two luxuriously dressed distinguished guests.

At the same time, in the palace of the city lord of Coca City, who received the news, the city lord Ziger, who was rumored to have been in retreat and broke through, made a rare exit and convened a staff meeting.

Ziger is a middle-aged man with a strong body and a resolute face, and unlike the sturdy (that is, fat and strong) that of "Scar" Tan Xiong, Ziger is the kind of well-proportioned and strong, giving people a feeling of being tall and strong.

With the power to kill and kill the entire city of Coca, Ziger had a majestic and majestic momentum of his own, and just sitting on the throne of the city lord naturally caused a pressure on those who watched him.

After browsing the report on the recent situation in Coca City, Ziger sat up straight, a powerful aura spread, and everyone in the staff group below hurriedly sat upright, looking down at the table slightly, waiting for the city lord's question.

"Say it. What kind of moth has Xu Yong's demon come out of recently? Seeing that everyone was sitting precariously, Ziger retracted his momentum, rested his right hand on the table to support his chin, and asked in an indifferent tone.

The people below glanced at each other and looked at their own boss, the young Confucian who was sitting first on the left hand of the city lord.

With a thin figure and an elegant and warm face, the young man in a cyan dress gives people a sense of harmlessness to humans and animals. He is Ziger's chief strategist and intelligence officer He Yu.

He Yu was just about to get up, when he saw Ziger wave his hand and said, "Just sit down and say it." ”

Hearing this, the corners of He Yu's mouth raised slightly, and he sat down again and looked at Ziger and said: "Just half an hour ago, Yu Chong, the first general under Xue Qitian, one of the three 'punishment heads' of the 'Torture Eye', and his most proud eldest son Xue Hanfeng entered Xu Yong's demon station, and after a quarter of an hour of secret talking, they flew out of the city on Xue Hanfeng's Qingyun boat. The direction is near the Longshou Mountains at the junction of the Longsen and Fulong Mountains. ”

"Dragon's Head Mountains?" Ziger's sharp gaze flashed, and he glanced at the documents he had just browsed on the table, and then turned his gaze to He Yu, and said indifferently: "The destination is the secret realm mentioned above?" ”

"Nine times out of ten." He Yu nodded affirmatively, with a slight sneer on his elegant face, "According to the investigation of the dark camp, it is likely that this is the reason why Xu Yong has been staying in our Coca City. ”

"Is the news of this secret realm that was all code-named Scar Team wiped out a little widespread?" Zigger remembered the description on the document and said with some subtlety.

The corners of He Yu's mouth raised slightly, and he said lightly: "The news was released by this group of people themselves." They have a lot of grievances with Xu Yong's demon, probably because they want to use the news of the secret realm to divert the demon's attention, and at the same time, they also have the intention of taking advantage of the demon in the secret realm. ”

"It's a pity that being smart is mistaken by being smart. Instead, was Xu Yong found the target? Ziger replied lightly.

"Not bad. However, the purpose of this group has indeed been achieved. As soon as the beast tide ended, Xu Yong impatiently led the men and horses to that secret realm, and then was half killed, and only a third of the people were safely withdrawn. ”

"Oh? In this way, it seems that the secret realm is not simple. Zieger nodded, "That's right." The secret realm that can be personally inquired about by one of the three giants of the 'Torture Eye' will naturally not be a small secret realm. Turning his head to look at He Yudao, "Do you know the specific situation?" ”

He Yu nodded, and said with a slightly serious face: "A little eyebrows." ”

After a pause, he sorted out his thoughts and said: "Since that incident came out, the dark camp has been staring at that demon, a month before the beast tide, Xue Qitian's second son, Xue Qing, who was hated by the people in Xue City, came to us, and Xu Yong sent someone to take care of the whole process during this period. ”

"Xue Qing seems to have just come to our Coca City to eat, drink and have fun, but judging from the various movements of Xu Yong's gang in that month, it may not have no other purpose."

Speaking of this, He Yu seemed to think of something interesting, smiled involuntarily, and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that he was slaughtered once in our place." I heard that it was made by a slave girl. Xu Yong and the others went to the resurrection hall to pick up the scar team when they ran into the scar team that was completely wiped out. Then soon after, the news of the secret realm broke out. ”

Then his face returned to normal, and he focused on the time, "The time is on the day of the outbreak of the beast tide." ”

"It's kind of interesting." Ziger's eyes moved, and he nodded slightly.

"It's kind of interesting, indeed." He Yu nodded and said, "The scar team also seems to have guessed the purpose of Xu Yong's demon, and deliberately chose to take the initiative to release news soon after the resurrection to attract attention. But now it seems that they themselves didn't expect that the news they broke was in the hands of Xu Yong's demon. ”

"On the day the beast tide ended, when the demon beasts had not yet retreated, Xu Yong led half of the men to Longshou Mountain. And then only a dozen people came back. ”

"Is there a follow-up in the dark camp?" Ziger asked.

"Yes." He Yu nodded affirmatively, "According to the report of the shadows, Xu Yong and they encountered some kind of illusion enchantment, and Xu Yong hurriedly ended the operation after learning the information of the enchantment, which was a bit anticlimactic. ”

"What kind of enchantment?" Hearing the word "enchantment", Ziger's expression moved, he straightened up, and asked with a slightly serious face.

The secret realm with the protection of the "enchantment" is generally the secret realm left by a certain force, and unlike the secret realm left by an individual, this kind of secret realm usually has the materials needed for the development of the city-state, and this kind of material often contains the city knot that everyone values.

"I don't know the specifics," He Yu shook his head slightly, guessing, "But according to the description of the shadows, I guess it is likely to be the 'Psychic Illusion Enchantment' unique to the Southern Smoke Domain." ”

"Fandom?!" Ziger's pupils widened, and he muttered, "No wonder the 'Torture Eye' attaches so much importance to it, and sent two earth-level general-level masters over." ”

He Yu heard Ziger's whisper and asked with some confusion, "Your Excellency knows that secret realm?" ”

Ziger didn't reply, and after thinking for a while, he directly ordered: "Master Yu, you can make a copy of the information and use the Hidden Object Gate to send it directly to the alliance headquarters, and mark it with fire paint." ”

"100,000 urgent?!" He Yu was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the secret realm seemed to be very important.

Just when the City Lord's Mansion sorted out the relevant information and sent it to the alliance headquarters, Xu Yong and the three of them who were riding the Qingyun Boat had already arrived at the crack of the Broken Tooth Mountain.

"Not the main entrance?" Xue Qing's elder brother, Xue Hanfeng, who had a heroic face, looked at the mountain crack in front of him and raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Xu Yong said respectfully in a soft female voice, "But to some extent, it is no different from the main entrance." ”

Xue Hanfeng nodded and didn't say anything. Turning to Yu Chong, who was slender and indifferent, he saluted slightly: "Please also ask General Yu to help check it." ”

Yu Chong nodded expressionlessly, walked to the edge of the mountain crevice, put his right hand on the mountain wall, closed his eyes, and said softly: "The method of penetration." ”

The mountain wall shook slightly, and an inexplicable wave emanated from Yu Chong's palm, seeping inward along the mountain.

After about half an hour, Yu Chong withdrew his right hand, turned to look at Xue Hanfeng and said, "There is indeed a twisting and branching path inside, with many strange traps that deceive people's senses, and at the end is a cliff with an unfathomable depth. There is a stone bridge that connects to the opposite side. The entrance to the secret realm is on the other side of the cliff. ”

Xue Hanfeng nodded when he heard this, and said, "General Yu, hard work." ”

"It doesn't matter." Yu Chong waved his hand and looked at Xu Yongdao: "Lead the way." ”

Xu Yong said respectfully: "Yes." ”

In the secret realm "Asking Heart Stone Forest".

In the state of "Refining Nine Locked Bodies", a glow as fine as lightning roamed on the surface of Ning Yuan's body, and layers of fine pitch-black dirt were discharged again.

Perhaps because of the increase in the strength of Ning Yuan's body, the effect of "Refining Nine Locked Bodies" this time was obviously better than the first time, as layers of impurities were expelled from the body, the Hongmeng worms (that is, cells) in Ning Yuan's whole body all cheered, and bursts of relaxed and pleasant feelings came to his heart.

Ning Yuan's spiritual will, which resisted the heavy pressure of the spirit, also became more active and tenacious in this pleasant emotion.

After fully adapting to the pressure of this step, Ning Yuan took a step forward. Then he stood still again and began to cultivate. And so on.
