Chapter 2 The Altar of Martial Arts
A new day descends on the king continent, at dawn, in the sky on the continent, day and night are eternally lit with a star, it seems to be a star, but if you keep approaching its direction, and then look up and observe, the star is actually a huge floating tower, floating on the king continent, I don't know how many thousands of miles in the sky, legend has it that is where the ancient super-intelligent life form is located, so the mainlanders take it as a reference to define the four directions.
At this time, if there are earthlings here, they will be surprised by this interesting story, after all, the sun hitting the west is something that we often describe as impossible, and at this time, in the early morning, a red sun is hanging out from the west. It can be seen that this floating tower is enough to lower the status of the sun in people's hearts.
The King Continent is a world that has been transformed by the primeval superintelligent body, and for a long time, they have been worshiped as gods by the creatures on the continent. The mainland is full of spiritual energy, rich in resources, and hundreds of millions of living beings live in it, showing a complex evolutionary context since the beginning of the primeval period.
The so-called natural selection, in the end, there are three types of races that can be active at the top of the continental world, the demon race, the descendants of the god race, and the human race. After countless years of the three races competing for hegemony, because of the superiority of fecundity, human beings controlled the dominance of the war, and now it is at the peak of its prosperity, dominating most of the territory of the continent. The Demon Clan is cowering in the lair of the Blood Clan on the Endless Sea, and the descendants of the Protoss are living in seclusion in the Land of Origin.
The altar of martial arts, according to legend, is a super-intelligent life form, created in order to cultivate a divine envoy who represents his will and governs the world, and in the altar he can feel and master some divine skills and powers that penetrate the heavens and the earth.
However, as the power controlled by the divine envoys became stronger and stronger, selfish desires gradually emerged, and the divine envoys were not even willing to serve under the super-intelligent life forms, so the protracted war of the gods burned all over the world, perhaps this is the reason why the gods fell and the super-intelligent life forms retreated.
However, the altar of martial arts has gone through countless years and has been miraculously passed down. Now the people on the mainland can still get some ancient divine power through the martial arts altar, although it is only a star and a half, it is enough for people to flock to it and respect it.
With the acquisition of power, the sages on the continent have summarized their power into three categories, such as magic, physical arts, and organs, and summarized dozens of professions according to their characteristics and skills, which have been named by the ancient gods by later generations.
For example, Prime Minister Zhuge Lifan, his profession is Zhuge Liang, who is good at offensive magic. With the improvement of strength, the people of the mainland divided the strength of the strong into nine grades: mortal, bronze, silver, platinum, diamond, obsidian, king, glory king, and supreme spicy chicken, and each grade was subdivided into five stars according to the strength of the strength. Zhuge Lifan is the top person on the continent, and he is also the three-star king of Zhuge Liang with outstanding combat power.
At this time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Shu Kingdom, an event that changed the history and direction of the entire continent was quietly going on here.
"Sister! Here we go! Zhuge Bufan ran towards the attic of Morning Star Yuan with his throat pulled, followed by a pair of twin brothers, and the three of them looked excited.
"You're pretty early!" Morning Xingyuan sat at the stone table in front of the attic, smiling at the three teenagers who were rushing in.
"Isn't it early, today is the first day of the first martial arts trial, and there is a sacrificial ceremony!" The older brother of the twins replied.
"Ruan Da, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you're strong again. I'm afraid you've broken through the bronze rank, right? ”
"Sister Xingyuan, you are just amazing, I can't hide anything from you." The burly and dark-skinned Ruan Zhennan replied honestly.
Several people who have known each other since childhood call the twin brothers Ruan Da and Ruan Er.
"Sister Xingyuan, I also broke through!" The younger brother Ruan Younan, who is thinner and whiter than his elder brother, said.
"Good, good! You're all good, but you're much better than some people who do nothing all day and get into trouble. Chen Xingyuan said, and glanced at Zhuge Bufan next to him.
"That, aren't I also a bronze five-star!" Zhuge Bufan was indignant.
.......
The four of you talked happily for a long time.
"Okay, sister, you said that we can get together a team of five today, but what about another person?" Zhuge Bufan asked curiously.
"In my room, Ruan Da, you have a lot of strength, go and carry it out!"
"Huh? Still reciting it? Such a big show? I'd like to see who it is. Zhuge Bufan and the three of them ran to the attic in confusion.
In a short time, a half-human-tall puppet was placed in front of everyone.
"Sister, is this the legendary Master Luban?" Zhuge Bufan said in surprise.
"Yes, yes, you are worthy of being the young master of the Zhuge family, you are well-informed. That's right, this is Master Luban. It's just the most junior Master Luban! Morning Star replied.
"Sister Xingyuan, then why can't he move or speak?" Ruan Er asked curiously.
"Because he is a bronze-level Luban master, he has not yet enlightened the spirit, nor has he summoned the ancient battle soul fusion, so he has no consciousness now, and he can't communicate actions, when we go to the martial arts altar and use the power of the martial arts altar, I will use the summoning secret technique again, I believe he will be able to fuse with the ancient war soul to generate a mind." Chen Xingyuan also looked at Master Luban's puppet with anticipation.
In the King Continent, Master Lu Ban, as a special existence, has been extinct many years ago, and the reason for its extinction is unknown.
This Master Lu Ban was unintentionally obtained by Zhuge Lifan back then, and later gifted to the young Chen Xingyuan, and the reason why he gave it to his granddaughter must be because she is the Chosen Great Qiao who has imprinted the inscription of the Book of Heaven, and she is also the only person among Zhuge Lifan's heirs who has the hope of awakening Master Luban's puppet.
"Then can it take the place of others to participate in the martial arts competition?" Ruan Da asked eagerly, after all, the afternoon was the first competition of the preliminary martial arts trial.
"Silly big man, you don't understand, among the one hundred and eight rules of the martial arts altar, Article 22 is: The team with Master Luban's puppet, Master Luban automatically occupies a team place, and enjoys all the equal treatment of ordinary people in the event." Zhuge Bufan patted Ruan Da on the shoulder and said.
"What Xiao Fan said is right, you don't have to worry. The one hundred and eight rules of the altar of the martial arts are protected by the gods, and can only be observed in the altar of the martial arts, and if they do not obey, they will be sanctioned by the altar, and the sanctioned person will not be able to perceive the power of the altar for the rest of his life. Morning Star Yuan added.
"Then let's go, it just so happens that Grandpa is going to preside over the sacrificial ceremony today, and we will go to see the excitement as soon as possible!" Ruan Er couldn't wait to scream.
"Let's go, Ruan Da, this Master Luban will be handed over to you!"
After speaking, Zhuge Bufan took Chen Xingyuan and Ruan Er's hands and hurriedly went out. Ruan Da didn't care, after all, he cultivated as a symbol of strength, Zhang Fei's profession, and he didn't have a burden at all with this little thing.
The festival was held in the Yanwu Altar Square in Wolong City, which was lively and lively. Although everyone can usually pay a certain fee to enter the practice of comprehending divine skills, or to identify some low-level advancements. However, if you want to advance to an advanced level or comprehend a high-level skill, you must participate in the advanced qualifying tournament that opens at a specific time, and today is the day when the annual sacred altar in Wolong City opens.
Some people wonder if the altar is only opened once a year, doesn't it limit the strength of the people on the mainland? In fact, this is not the case, because there is a limit to the martial arts altar that can perceive advanced skills and strength.
The altar is also divided into many kinds, the highest level of the altar is: the Supreme Altar, there is only one in the whole continent, located in the westernmost part of the continent in the King's Canyon, and this altar is only opened once in twelve years, open to all ethnic groups, and the strong who are required to enter must at least have obsidian or above the grade, in which you can feel the power and skills of the king to the glory of the king.
The second-class altars are: the King's Altar, there are only a dozen in the whole continent, and the strong ones who are required to enter are at least platinum grades, which are open once every three years, and you can feel the power and skills of platinum to black yao stone grades. There is only one big country like Shu. It is not difficult to see from this that a large part of the reason for the conquests on the mainland over the years is to compete for the strategic resource of the high-level altar.
Again, there are sacred altars that are only available in some main cities of the kingdoms, and there are hundreds scattered on the main road, and there is one in Wolong City, which requires silver or above to enter. Inside, you can feel the power and skills of platinum or below.
The last kind of altar is the advanced altar, this kind of altar is the crystallization of human wisdom for thousands of years, and it is simulated and built according to the principle of the existing altar, it can be said that the emergence of the advanced altar is also a major reason for the rise of mankind.
Of course, in addition to the grade conditions for entering the altar, there are actually conditions for opening the altar, the opening of the altar requires a huge supply of energy, and the loss of this energy is huge, the more advanced the altar The more amazing the energy required, and to maintain the altar to give people understanding, it takes more energy.
Legend has it that the Ancient Martial Arts Altar was powered by the Origin Energy Gem, which was the kind that Morning Star Yuan held last night, but I don't know when this energy gem began to dry up, and in the end, people forgot how to stimulate the gem to provide energy for the altar. The era of the depletion of energy gems was the darkest era on the continent, and there were not many strong people at that time.
It wasn't until a few years ago that an amazingly talented organ master finally solved this problem, and he found a strong man to reverse stimulate the unique high-grade spirit jade on the King Continent to provide energy for the altar, and finally opened the martial arts altar again.
Although the altar was opened, so that it seemed that the strong people on the continent could continue to emerge, the efficiency of cultivating the strong was too limited. In order to solve this problem, the ancient powerful sages summed it up, so that people can understand the battle cooperation, five people as a group, two groups to fight, in the battle to understand, and at the same time cultivate the ability of each profession to cooperate with each other, such a combination is like a miracle so that all professions cooperate with each other, bursting out of unprecedented amazing combat power.
At the martial arts festival watched by the above-mentioned people in the morning star yuan, people performed the evolution of the martial arts altar in the form of witch dance, and paid tribute to many strong heroes throughout the ages.
"The martial arts festival is over. Sister Xingyuan, let's go to the West Square to sign up. "Nguyen Avenue.
"Okay, let's go." Morning Star responded.
And on the earth, at this time, there is an idler who receives the company's salary and hastily reads the description of the VR headset of "Honor of Kings", and is eager to try the game in the office.
