Chapter 185: Martial Arts and Gambling
Zhang Fan continued to cultivate in the Central Holy City of the Xuanfa Sect and waited for and even consolidated his cultivation for a certain period of time, and when he saw that this new mortal realm really had the strength to fight against the powerhouses of the gods in the western region, and was also improving at a rate of more than forty percent per year, his heart was completely relaxed. And with Ye Ruyun, Ye Ruyue, Sun Mei'er and other people who have been tested and are still reliable, and even the six disciples who are more prominent among their juniors and have not been disturbed in the changed earthly world, they are ready to leave the mortal realm of the Central Holy City and go to the Ten Thousand Laws Great World hundreds of thousands of miles away to find some opportunities to further enhance their spiritual power. Ye Ruyun, Ye Ruyue and the others have entered the Jindan realm after sixty years of retreat and even more than one hundred years of cultivation. Under the circumstance that Zhang Fan used the unique artificial Inner Dan method to strengthen and specially taught some special exercises, he almost had the strength to rival the peak masters of Jindan in the western region, at least the remaining healthy life span of more than 1,000 years in the middle of Jindan, and it was under such circumstances that Zhang Fan felt that he should still take these people with him.
First, Zhang Fan was not completely at ease with the situation in the civilized area around the Central Holy City, and secondly, a lot of combat experience before him also made Zhang Fan realize that if there were some people by his side as back-ups, it would still be useful to deal with some real crises. As for the people around you who have always been in the Qiankun Shield, it is not necessary. Especially in the case of some invisibility talismans that can be difficult for less elaborate cultivators below the god to detect over the years.
After all, after more than 100 years of make-up classes after returning, Zhang Fan also felt that his strength began to reach a certain bottleneck after trying to use various means to improve, and it was not impossible to improve again. For example, in various places in the western region, they took the initiative to slaughter and escalate the fight against monsters, rather than legitimate defense, but Zhang Fan, who was still cautious in his heart, felt that these practices that might bring hidden dangers to his inner subconscious could not be avoided as much as possible.
A long time ago, 100 billion miles was a long distance for Zhang Fan, but now it is not too far. With Zhang Fan's current strength, with nine people outside Qiankun, the speed of continuous long-term flight in the air can reach four or five thousand times the speed of sound, about 1,500 kilometers per second, and the journey of 100 billion miles is less than a year and a half.
Seeing that even in the air at a height of dozens of miles, the earth seemed to be rolling backwards rapidly, Ye Ruyun, Ye Ruyue, Sun Mei'er and others couldn't help but feel a little trembling. The skill and means reflected in this kind of long-distance voyage alone, especially in the case of seeking a certain degree of stealth, can be done in a way that I could hardly imagine before.
"I estimate that this trip to the Great World of Ten Thousand Laws, although you may be by my side for a while, it is impossible for you to always be by my side, maybe because of some things, it is possible to be separated in the short or long term. With your exercises and cultivation, if you act too publicly, you may be able to see the origin and identity of your Xuanfa sect. So when you encounter that I may not be by your side, everything is mainly low-key, don't get involved in some things rashly for the sake of cultivation, or rashly get involved in some things for the sake of fighting grievances, do you understand?"
"God, slave and maid understand... The women said the same thing.
Zhang Fan didn't like this title, but he thought that if he didn't act carefully on the territory of the Wanfa Sect, it would not be a good thing to surprise people according to his past habits, so he didn't make any corrections.
"In order to avoid accidents, I have already moved the scrolls in the Central Holy City Scripture Pavilion to the Qiankun Shield. I've picked out a few illusions and tricks that are suitable for you to disguise your identity in front of the less perverted powerhouses and have basic self-defense skills. After all, these two methods are the easiest to disguise when relying on external objects. Also, this time, our identity, not to the outside world, is not from the western coastal area of the Boundless Continent, but from a different continent overseas, and accidentally escaped into a one-way teleportation array in the battle with a strong enemy. The continent and the world that I made up and even a lot of content, some of the experiences you faked, and there are a lot of materials in the illusion in the Qiankun Shield, so you should also go and learn it. In addition, taking advantage of these hundreds of years, there should still be scattered spirit stones and medicinal materials left in the Qiankun Shield, which should be enough for you to cultivate without too much pressure to at least close to the peak of Jindan, at that time, I may be able to give you some stronger means of self-protection... ”
In this way, along the way, Zhang Fan arranged for Ye Ruyun and Ye Ruyue and other women to cultivate in the Qiankun Shield, and on the other hand, he occasionally reviewed some of the more detailed exercises about the high-level monks of the Wanfa Sect in the books of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in the Qiankun Shield. At the same time, further prepare some complete battle talismans in the illusion, although there are not many conditions for other means to quickly improve one's cultivation, but it seems that there is no harm in enhancing some of one's coping ability. In particular, the nine spirit fungi have now evolved to the level of about the three grades of the gods in the western region, and under the combination, they are already comparable to the strength of the six grades of the gods. Zhang Fan also researched a certain method of combining spiritual power attacks, Gu techniques, and illusions. Combined with the advantage of the protective power he has now, he feels that even if the comprehensive strength of the Ten Thousand Laws Great World is much stronger, he should be regarded as an "evil cultivator" who is not weak. Of course, if you encounter a real strong enemy and can't deal with it with these disguised methods, then you can only be a "lone ranger of thieves".
About a year later, when Zhang Fan was approaching the legendary Wanfa Sect Great World region, he suddenly felt a strange feeling that was not very relaxed. A lot of combat experience and even rational thinking made Zhang Fan decide to reduce his speed at this time, and to a certain extent, change his flight direction and fly towards another unfamiliar area.
"Godlord, what's wrong?"
"I feel like there may be some trouble, maybe someone is waiting for us in front of us. Thinking about it, how could it be that we had wiped out the Wanfa Sect forces in the western part of the Boundless Continent without any contact and detection? Especially for many Jindan monks, although the distance of 100 billion miles was too far, they could not guarantee any unique means of communication. Maybe some forces have been monitoring our every move for a hundred years, so there will be some trouble ... Zhang Fan said calmly.
However, when Zhang Fan did not move in the predetermined direction, the road was not smooth after all. Although Zhang Fan exerted a certain stealth ability to fly at high altitude, the forces below the god level or below the ninth-order demon beast in the western part of the Ordinary Silver Continent could not find him, but in the end, he suddenly found that some of the aura along the road was obviously in the area with the seventh- and eighth-order demon beasts that had just entered the transformation stage as the core, and when he flew over the sky close to the sky, he also had some reactions below?
At this time, Zhang Fan also enlightened: If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if I take the initiative to be attacked when I'm in a hurry, then the harvest of fighting monsters will be natural, right? Anyway, it's at least tens of billions of miles away from the predetermined place, so it's better to see what the strength of the shape-shifting demon beasts in the depths of this boundless continent is. If you have the conditions, you can get some people around you to practice...
In order to avoid exposing some of his characteristic methods, when Zhang Fan felt some dangerous aura, he usually accelerated to turn or detour, and the demon beasts around the seventh and eighth order who had just entered the transformation stage were not so taboo.
When Zhang Fan deliberately removed most of the stealth talismans, passed near a group of dryads at a height of only about a mile from the ground, and used a special talisman to disguise his realm around the peak realm of Jindan, he finally encountered an attack.
Generally speaking, it is more difficult for plant-based demon beasts to transform into shapes, and they can only move freely in human form when they are close to the ninth order and have quite strong forces. And the dryad at this transformation stage was only about the seventh level before it was able to fly out of the ground, transforming into an ugly old woman with a large number of tree roots on her legs and a crown of branches on her head like a witch. More than thirty seventh-order demon beasts launched a spiritual attack on Zhang Fan in the air together, making Zhang Fan's subconscious mind seem to faintly give birth to a trace of danger and light enemy consciousness that he wanted to support and be at the mercy of these tree demons. Almost at the same time, those ugly legless witch-like shapeshifting dryads stretched their roots in the air as if they were elastic, wrapping around Zhang Fan in all directions.
If he didn't have scruples to exert his strength, Zhang Fan estimated that he would be able to kill these in seconds with a single Heavenly Tribulation Thunder, but at this time, he still wanted to try his combat ability with evil spells.
Therefore, it is not rude, first use the powerful spiritual radiation power and let the spiritual power turn into a silk-like concentration to launch a concentrated attack, and then use a kind of illusion that he has comprehended in the Qiankun shield to attack.
In the minds of the dryads, it seemed that their attack had succeeded. Zhang Fan smiled and calmly let those dryads tie up their sturdy five-flowered flowers, but when they wanted to break free, they found that they had overestimated their strength, and their spiritual power was also imprisoned, and their entire body seemed to be rotting under the venom secreted, wailing in pain.
The real Zhang Fan quickly hid in the distance, and at the same time released nine spirit fungi to fight back against the nine strongest shape-shifting dryads. Under the control of the spirit fungus of the three-rank realm of the god transformation, the eight strongest dryads did not perceive the penetration of those spirit fungi, and it was not until the entire body began to decay that they suddenly got rid of the previous illusion.
However, the effect of this attack made Zhang Fan feel unsatisfactory.
Zhang Fan originally thought that when the spirit fungus of the God Transformation Realm invaded the body of this eighth-order demon beast, it should be easy to control the other party and make it his puppet, but it turned out that these spirit fungi seemed to be unable to do this, and could only take some very simple and direct methods to attack, and it seemed that it would take a lot of time.
In desperation, Zhang Fan had to go out of the mysterious short sword that had not been used for a long time in the Qiankun Shield, and used the method of physical attack and spiritual power transformation radiation attack to fight these dryads in person, but it still took about half a minute to sweep away these dryads.
"It seems that if you only use the methods of the Ten Thousand Law Sect, the combat effectiveness will be discounted... Zhang Fan suddenly had an idea now. With a layman's appearance, the easiest way to have a lot of evil monk type strength in the short term should be to find a puppet with more combat effectiveness, and it doesn't matter if you don't know how to resist beasts. Can it be killed or severely damaged and then controlled by spiritual fungus means?
Half a month later, when Zhang Fan felt a hint of danger and trouble when he was moving forward in the unknown area, he no longer shy away from it, and finally encountered a two-headed snake demon beast with a high level of ninth-order transformation and quite strong strength.
After Zhang Fan fought each other, he found that the strength of this two-headed snake demon beast was much stronger than some ninth-order demon beasts that he had encountered in the western part of the Boundless Continent before. It is a few points stronger than the tenth-order demon beast that once made the most dangerous creatures. The spirit fungus attack is basically ineffective, the Gu attack is not easy to use, and the direct hand-to-hand combat is barely undefeated, but the efficiency makes Zhang Fan feel too low, so he has to use the Supreme Flame Talisman in close combat to plot it, and take advantage of the snake demon's stunned kung fu in a very short period of time to include it in the Qiankun Shield. Later, Zhang Fan, who entered the Qiankun Shield, showed his thunder magic without any scruples, which once made Zhang Fan in the past feel that the existence of a tenth-order top-level demon beast in the western region was really dying, and then Zhang Fan let two spirit fungi invade this ninth-order two-headed snake demon and control its soul. Subsequently, Zhang Fan spent some other means in the Qiankun Shield, and finally turned this two-headed snake into a puppet of his own.
Under Zhang Fan's control, the two-headed snake demon transformed into the image of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old, wooden-looking, seemingly unconscious two-girl girl who had not left the pavilion. When fighting, the puppet seems to be able to transform into a human-faced two-headed snake in the form of a special automatic battle talisman.
"If my own hard fighting, combined with the spiritual power transformation attack, the spirit fungus, and this puppet are used together. Thinking about it, even among the powerhouses of the Infinite Continent, it can be regarded as very prominent, right?" Zhang Fan thought with some satisfaction at this time.
Of course, the monsters encountered in this unknown area that were obviously stronger than those of the same level in the western part of the Boundless Continent also made Zhang Fan a little more careful, and if he felt too powerful and dangerous aura or warning signs during the next journey, Zhang Fan would generally be able to go around it. Generally, they only "touch porcelain" demon beasts below the realm of the gods. And along the way, he has won a lot of plant-based mid-stage demon beasts, so that Zhang Fan has some experience in making talismans and even some other research. The biggest advantage of this plant-based high-level demon beast is that because it doesn't have too high spiritual intelligence, there is still a small amount of pure masterless spiritual power left after the supreme holy flame is smoked, which seems to be a bit like the feeling of gathering divine grass. It seems that there is a slight benefit to improving one's mental strength after trying.
