Chapter 256: Impacting Mahayana
When Zhang Fan returned to the rest area of the Boundless Continent Combined Ring, of course he also understood that this battle could be regarded as his victory after all, but his advantage over Wuji had obviously not reached the point where he could easily kill it.
After this battle, Zhang Fan won the top spot in the entire combined arena battlefield, and suddenly raised the points of the entire Boundless Continent to more than 10 million, ranking among the top 100 worlds. Of course, Zhang Fan also had some worries at this time, and he didn't say anything to Wang Er at this moment: "In this round of the ring battlefield, not to mention the masters of other levels, just the top ten masters were wiped out by me at once, this shouldn't bring any trouble to the Boundless Continent, right?"
At this moment, Wang Er would not say some things that he knew after becoming a powerful person with a strength comparable to that of the Mahayana, and to a certain extent, a monk within the high-level range of the Boundless Continent: "It shouldn't be." First, you should know before: the ranking on the battlefield of this combined ring is not the entire known world combined master list in the real sense. There is no such list in the entire known world. In terms of world-to-world comparison, the total master list, or the Mahayana master list before the ascension to immortal, is obviously the most meaningful. ”
"Is the total master list or the Mahayana master list also going through such a competition?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask at this time.
"Mahayana-level powerhouses are said to have an average of more Mahayana monks per world in the entire 120,000-odd known world than in our Boundless Continent, but the total number is only more than 10,000. As long as you have the cultivation strength of the Mahayana monks who have experienced the complete Void Realm, and the corresponding means in other aspects are not weak, you have a high probability of becoming a member of the entire known world's million total list, which means that the 120,000 known worlds have about one million powerhouses. Although there are obviously few Mahayana monks in the Boundless Continent, there are not a few monks on the overall list, and there are as many as seven in total. I believe that it won't take long for you to become the eighth master, the strength of the strong in the overall list is not determined by the competition, but by those powerful people at the level of the immortal Dao Ancestor through the way of perception, of course, there are competitions and even challenges in the ring, but it is just an assistant to evaluate the ranking... ”
Zhang Fan also had some long-standing questions at this time, and he didn't hide anything at this moment: "I carry a heavy treasure, and the upgrade speed is so fast, I don't know if it will invisibly offend some forces on the Boundless Continent?"
Wang Er smiled: "Hehe, in fact, in comparison, the person you should be more worried about is me." Although I am not too rare to be a monk in the Mahayana Master List of the Boundless Continent, I am probably the only one who really has the potential to ascend to the Immortal Rank. Not all Mahayana monks have the ability to ascend to immortality, as should be evident from the time they first entered the Mahayana or even earlier. For those Mahayana monks who have no hope of advancing to Mahayana but have a lifespan of at least 10,000 years, the Chosen One like you, who has a great chance of ascending to immortality, will not be suppressed too much. Of course, you should also be wary that this realm may not be free from the infiltration of other hostile forces, such as the Hell Realm. At the same time, if your performance is not as good as expected, and there is no great possibility of ascending to immortal, then you may have to face the hostility of the entire Mahayana realm of the Boundless Continent... ”
Although Wang Er did not say it explicitly, it also seemed to hint at a message: the Mahayana realm of this boundless continent is estimated to have only a few dozen Mahayanas, and they do not belong to different sects or factions, but are largely a common whole. This seems to be very different from the pattern in many fantasy worlds.
Of course, after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Fan didn't think it was so strange. Not all monks plan to level up and ascend endlessly, so they don't know which strong person they will die at the hands of the end, or in the secret realm of treasure hunting. More people have the strongest person in the realm and can be relatively safer, and they will start a sect and live their own free life. And it is very obvious: the people who can enter the Mahayana realm are not the "backstreet boys" or "bad boys of the Honkai Academy" in the chaotic cities of the third world, of course, they understand the truth of "harmony is precious" and even the European knightly spirit of compromise and order, and avoid direct life and death between each other to the greatest extent. This is also a natural reaction of ordinary beings after a lifespan of far more than 10,000 years.
Of course, this also made Zhang Fan feel a lot more at ease, at least for a long time in the future, he didn't have to worry about his own safety.
At this time, Wang Er suddenly realized some thoughts in Zhang Fan's heart, and admonished: "You don't have the idea of relaxing now, and the New Heavenly Dao Sect shouldn't be in a hurry to go back and have a look, after all, it won't be long before you leave to see it outside." If your two henchmen are in charge of the family for so long, there is no need to care. Let's practice honestly here, which is relatively safe. I believe that you are not in the past now, and you should have the determination to cultivate seriously for thousands of years and not feel bored... ”
There are still some things that Wang Er didn't say at this time, and Zhang Fan certainly understood one or two: in the critical period of further hierarchical improvement of his strength, it is likely that some possible powerhouses lurking in the Boundless Continent will "strike first to be strong" when they are not considered to be a master of Mahayana conversion strength in a mediocre sense, bringing some unnecessary risks to themselves.
Of course, Zhang Fan also understood this, so after ending the battlefield of the combined ring, Zhang Fan used the total of 1.5 billion super-grade spirit crystals, the Ten Thousand Worlds Treasure Book, the second Mahayana Dao Fruit, a total of more than 200 bottles of true dew, and some other cultivation materials to enter the Qiankun Shield in the cave to start another round of cultivation Li Cheng
Zhang Fan didn't make or take other cultivation things at the first time, but only after taking the second Mahayana Dao Fruit did he begin to take a general overview and recall the general experience gained from the challenges in the combined ring area. At the same time, it has not given up analyzing and even summarizing the superintelligence in Qiankun Shield.
Compared with those who are at a similar level to himself, those who have really cultivated for thousands to thousands of years, Zhang Fan certainly knows that his biggest gap is the experience of various actual battles with masters in the real sense. The greatest significance of the hundreds of encounters in the arena of the combined master is obviously that it greatly enriches the fantasy practice battlefield in the Qiankun shield, especially in the case of combining the various exercises and knowledge in the Ten Thousand Worlds Treasure Book, which will undoubtedly make the illusion battlefield that previously only had a reference sense become as close to the actual combat as possible.
At this time, Zhang Fan also seemed to have thought of a way: if you only talk about the ability to memorize and even analyze problems, the superintelligence in the Qiankun Shield, which is equivalent to the twenty-fourth or fifth century-level civilization, is actually significantly stronger than himself in these aspects. So can you work this point, so that you can rely on the auxiliary battle talisman in a relatively short period of time and have a relatively strong combat effectiveness? . .
Subsequently, after weighing the general risks and even pros and cons, Zhang Fan began to selectively let the super intelligence scan some of the information and even light and shadow released by himself, even so, the whole process took ten years. Subsequently, when Zhang Fan entered the virtual fantasy battlefield in the Qiankun shield again, everything seemed to be different, and many actual battles seemed to be so real and accurate, and they could be sublimated to the maximum...
In this way, in the first hundred years after the Qiankun Shield once again entered the cultivation state, Zhang Fan did not rush to do some other things, but continued to fight in the illusion space, and experienced a total of more than two million opponents with an uncertain number, including both single-digit powerhouses and hundreds of millions of nebula-like enemy battles.
Moreover, in the battle of the virtual illusion, Zhang Fan's strength was not confined to the level of the master of the combination, and even realized in advance the principles of battle and even cultivation between many Mahayanas. After going through a total of more than 2.7 million virtual illusion realm drills, Zhang Fan began to try to purify those true dews step by step through the method of cold refining. We do not expect large-scale processing at one time. Only in this way can he further improve his ability to process and refine these medicinal materials as his cultivation and even his strength improves.
At the same time, the 1.5 billion super-grade spirit crystals were also piled up into a crater with a diameter of about 100 meters and a height of about thirty or forty meters, and the aura emitted by these super-grade spirit crystals was densely gathered in Zhang Fan's vicinity by using a unique formation. While refining the true dew, Zhang Fan did not forget to cultivate with his own improvement, and at the same time to process and even refine, digest and use these super-grade spirit crystals of a large scale.
Ling'er, Sun Mei'er, and the nine spirit fungi also used these resources to cultivate with Zhang Fan in this situation. On the battlefield of the combined ring, Zhang Fan obviously discovered the benefits of being able to fight the enemy with him. As long as the strength of the helper is not so bad that he will be easily killed by his own strong enemy, then the bonus to himself is actually a square law to some extent. For example, if you meet the enemy alone with several other helpers whose strength is only half of your own, the combat effectiveness and achievements you bring to yourself are not 50 percent, but 125 percent, and to a large extent, it is still of great significance. As for whether or not to occupy cultivation resources, this doesn't seem to be a big problem, after the arena and the battlefield, the cultivation resources that Zhang Fan has at this time are still more than enough to some extent.
In this way, Zhang Fan's cultivation process and even the progress speed after all the preparations were very sufficient, when he cultivated with everyone, naturally exceeded his expectations, and in just about five hundred years after entering the Qiankun Shield, Zhang Fan's cultivation had already been improved to about twenty grades in the merger period after experiencing the complete Void Realm, and it was only about three grades to advance to the Mahayana in the case of considering the Merge Extreme Realm.
In this case, Zhang Fancai slowed down his cultivation progress slightly, and only after he had a relatively strong cultivation strength did he focus on the production of Fu Neidan. There is no doubt that if there is any biggest revelation for Zhang Fan on the battlefield of the combined ring this time, it is that in the case that he does not necessarily have the best qualifications and even the cultivation process compared to other possible "chosen ones", Fu Qi Neidan is the biggest trump card to fundamentally improve his strength and make up for his shortcomings.
Combined with his previous experience, Zhang Fan further compressed Fu Qi Neidan's durability to about thirty full blows. At the same time: compared to maximizing the attack energy of a single attack, the comprehensive combat effectiveness brought by this is actually stronger than some of your previous arrangements. And more importantly, this is also very much in line with the current situation that after five hundred years of cultivation, he still has a large number of super-grade spirit crystals, and the living body materials that can be used to make high-level talismans are not so abundant in comparison. In addition to the Fu Neidan he needed, Zhang Fan also prepared a Fu Neidan that could be used by Sun Mei'er, Ling'er, and even the other nine spirit fungi, striving to improve the strength of several people to the point that the strength of the combined formation could not be too different from himself under the addition of Fu Neidan.
At this time, Zhang Fan had taken two Mahayana Dao Fruits and his comprehensive cultivation had been greatly improved, and the effect of making these talismans was also very different from before, because he had bought about twenty-one grades of the merger in advance, not only did the production time of the talisman inner pill required be reduced to less than two hundred years, but the power of a single one had also increased to a level equivalent to about forty times the output energy of Zhang Fan's full force at this time.
There is no doubt that at this time, Zhang Fan's body itself could not withstand such a large mobilization of spiritual power, but when he really entered the Fusion Extreme Realm and even the Mahayana Realm, these talismans were obviously able to withstand what his body at that time could barely bear.
Because of the proximity to the Mahayana realm, in order not to miss the combined extreme realm, Zhang Fan's cultivation also became cautious. Ling'er, as the manager, had passed the elixir of the four thousand years of tribulation at this time, and finally gave Zhang Fan great help, so that Zhang Fan could continue to refine Ling'er's spiritual blood at a relatively slow speed to consolidate his own cultivation, and launched an attack on the legendary realm.
Perhaps it was the effect of the two Mahayana Dao Fruits and the blood of the Four Thousand Years Gathering Divine Grass, Zhang Fan still did not expect to enter the cultivation realm around the Merge Extreme Realm in less than a hundred years or so.
Later, Zhang Fan also began to understand that the most important test of the Illusionary Mind Tribulation when all the combined monks advanced to the Mahayana was likely to come. It's just that Zhang Fan can't be sure that he has experienced the quasi-Mahayana level of the Mind Tribulation before, and will the test of the Heart Tribulation he faces at this moment be easier?
