After a long time, the famous mind gradually stabilized and asked, "Baoyu, when did you break through to the third realm of the Great Realm, and where did you learn this Void Imperial Technique?"

The reason why Zhu Ming was surprised was because Baoyu did not pick the Langji fruit directly from the tree by hand, but picked it in the air with the method of imperial objects, and at this moment, he could still hover the Langji fruit in front of him, as if there was an invisible hand holding it. The biggest difference between the Three Realms and the Second Realm is that it can control things in the air, so the Three Realms are often called "Imperial Realms".

Zhu Ming didn't teach Baoyu's various factions the secrets of cultivation, let alone any supernatural spells, just let him cultivate in this natural state that was in line with the origin of the Great Dao. For example, the second realm, in the method practiced by Zhu Ming, is called the Chaoyuan realm, and in the inheritance of Chiwangqiu, the second realm is also called the cultivation realm. Although the realm is the same, the way of verification is different.

But Zhu Ming has never told Baoyu about this, for Baoyu, the second realm is the second realm, just to experience this natural state of mind and body, there is no need to deliberately pursue the infinite power like the opening of the mountain, or the endless vitality like the Chaoyuan realm, or the cultivation of the form realm can mimic all kinds of supernatural powers in the future. Baoyu doesn't deliberately pursue anything, but his foundation is the purest, and anything is possible in the future.

Of course, Zhu Ming knew that Baoyu had already completed the two realms and nine transformations, but he never thought that Baoyu would break through the three realms at this time, which was inconsistent with his previous judgment, the eleven-year-old child had not fully grown up, could it be that there was another mystery that he had not understood?

This is the first time that Zhu Ming has mentioned the wonder of the Three Realms to Baoyu, and he has his own explanation in his mind. And Baoyu was also a little curious and asked: "So this is what you call the cultivation of the Three Realms?" I have been experiencing it recently, but I haven't tried it yet, so I just heard you tell me how to pick fruits, and I understood, so I tried it." ”

For a while, Zhu Ming really didn't know what to say except sighing. However, Baoyu said again

"Thank you for the guidance of the mountain god, just now you taught me how to pick fruits, and I suddenly understood one thing. When I was a child, I saw a strange bird hurt Xiaotian, and almost captured Sister Pothos, it can take pictures in the air, it turns out to be this realm. ”

Zhu Ming can clearly check Baoyu's spiritual energy, why didn't he find that Baoyu has broken through the Three Realms? Maybe it's because the prejudice is too deep, everyone in the world calls the Three Realms the Imperial Realm, and when he reaches the realm, he will have the corresponding means, and Baoyu has never used these means. Theoretically, he could break through the cultivation of the Third Realm at any time, but in fact, he was still cultivating the Second Realm.

In the state of perfection of the two realms and nine turns, the extended perception seems to be able to touch the things around it, and this "touch" becomes clearer and clearer, and in the end, the perception will condense into a substantial power, just like an invisible hand reaching out, and even grasping and manipulating the things around it. Baoyu's "hand" was indeed stretched out, but he was always "touching", but he never "moved" anything.

To this day, Zhu Ming told him that he could try it with the Lang Yu Fruit, and his mind contained a law decision that condensed this perception into substance. So Baoyu picked a Langji fruit in this way, it was the first time for him, but it was as natural as water.

Zhu Ming didn't find out that the reason why Baoyu didn't know when he had broken through the Three Realms, or that he could break through the Three Realms at any time in this state, was that breaking through the Three Realms from the Second Realm was an obstacle, and many people would never be able to take this crucial step in their lives. After the consummation of the two realms and nine turns, the extended perception seems to be able to touch the things around them, and this feeling becomes clearer and clearer, which will bring great distress to people, and they are very sensitive to the things around them, and often a little stimulus will cause great disturbance.

The skill of practicing the form has reached the extreme, but a person's state of mind or mental state is difficult to adapt to this new change, and it is impossible to break through the three realms only by continuing to refine the body, and it needs to be accompanied by the change of mood, and the spirit also needs to be more stable and strong. How did Baoyu go through this process? Zhu Ming, who was confused, suddenly figured out something.

Baoyu came to the Taihao Ruins three years ago, and when he sat down, he was able to integrate the form and spirit with the breath of this small world, and felt the refinement of the Langji Tree Qiongguang. Everything in this small world, including their aura, has a miraculous effect on the cultivation of the beneficiary, and it will not cause any disturbance or stimulation to Baoyu. Moreover, Baoyu has been taking lotus seeds for several times before sitting down to cultivate, wanting to refine the bitter lotus seed core buds, and keep the Yuan Shen in a clear and natural state, which is itself an extremely difficult and "hard" exercise.

It can be said that Baoyu had unknowingly broken through the Three Realms some time ago, or that he had really broken through the Three Realms at the moment when he tried to pick the Langji Fruit, and no one could have noticed it before that.

As for why this kid crossed the Second Realm at the age of eleven? According to Zhu Ming's original inference, it was impossible for Baoyu to enter the Third Realm to cultivate before he was sixteen years old, because the Second Realm was accompanied by the cultivation of muscles and bones, and Baoyu's body had not yet fully grown. Normally, this is true, Zhu Ming's guess is correct, but Baoyu's situation is not "abnormal".

Baoyu has taken so many immortal elixirs, and has been refining and absorbing them in the consummation state of the two realms, and the viscera and muscles have already reached the most perfect and pure state of reason, and it doesn't matter if she continues to practice. In the years to come, he will continue to grow up in this perfect state, accompanied by the continuous refining and exertion of the spiritual effect of the immortal elixir.

After Zhu Ming was stunned for a long time, he finally gradually figured out the trick. Baoyu suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Xiaotian, you can't climb that tree, and you can't pick the fruit on the tree!

At this time, Xiaotian had already jumped up from the lotus pond, shook the water on his body, and saw that Baoyu had picked a glowing fruit from the glowing tree, and it was also curious to imitate it, and had already run over to climb the tree, but was stopped by Baoyu. Zhu Ming was taken aback again, because Baoyu had not left the state when he spoke to Xiao Tian, and the spells he had cast had not been affected in any way, and the Lang Yu fruit was still hanging in front of him.

When the vast majority of monks had just broken through the Three Realms, they had not yet mastered the power of the Imperial Object, and they barely extended the power of perception in the fixed realm, and grabbed something in the air, but after a little distraction, the thing landed again, and it was difficult to always maintain that state of concentration and spell casting. Of course, Baoyu is distracted now, otherwise how could he open his eyes and speak to Xiaotian, but he was distracted but not distracted, he was still in that kind of primordial god realm, it made no difference whether he opened his eyes and spoke, and the imperial object was only between a thought that seemed intentional and unintentional.

Zhu Ming didn't say anything more, Baoyu was naturally able to do this, and he was no longer more surprised. He thought for a moment and asked, "Son, do you remember when the strange bird swooped down from the sky?"

Baoyu: "Of course I remember, the situation of that day is the earliest thing I can remember. ”

Zhu Ming: "The strange bird almost captured the pothos, did it directly arrest people with the power of imperial objects?"

Baoyu replied, "No, I just learned today that it wasn't." The strange bird does not directly ingest the pothos in the air, it rolls the wind with the method of imperial objects, and the wind rolls the pothos into the sky. The method of the Imperial Object is like the manipulation of consciousness, which is ineffective against beings who have their own consciousness, and can only control those things that have no spiritual intelligence. ”

Zhu Ming asked, "You have just mastered the power of the Imperial Objects in the Three Realms, how can you understand this truth?"

Baoyu: "I just found out that Xiaotian wanted to climb the tree, so I wanted to use the method of imperial objects to stop it, but I found that it didn't work. Its body is controlled by its mind, and the law of the Imperial Object is invalid. ...... Mountain God, is there any way to immobilize this dog?"

Zhu Ming replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, that is the method of fixation, and you can't master it with your current realm." But you can also use other means to achieve the same effect, think that when Ruoshan fixed the strange bird in the sky, he also used the method of imperial objects, and controlled the flowing wind around the strange bird, but it was much more clever and profound than the strange bird. ”

In retrospect, the strange bird died unjustly, the reason was just to catch two hens, but it provoked people, and when it wanted to catch people again, Xiaotian jumped out, and then the mountain master shot.

In fact, it is much more difficult to control the invisible wind with the method of imperial objects than it is to control tangible things such as Lang Yu fruit. The strange bird flies in the sky, and the most contact and most familiar thing is the wind, and it has mastered this way in the long years. But it has no one to guide it, although it has the ability to resist the wind, but it has not yet fully comprehended the foundation of the law of imperial things, and it is of course dead to meet a master like the mountain master.

Then the mountain god didn't speak again, and Baoyu also closed his eyes and continued to practice, and he didn't know if he was cultivating the second realm or the third realm, but it looked like he should be cultivating the third realm, because the Lang Yu fruit had been hovering three feet in front of him, exuding a faint brilliance. Baoyu continued to book his seat for the whole night until noon the next day, which means that he has always been performing the power of the imperial object.

In this world, I am afraid that no one regards casting spells as a kind of cultivation in itself, but Baoyu is not deliberately selling anything, but seems to have forgotten this Lang Yu fruit in the meditation, and has been in this state. If it were other monks who had just entered the Three Realms, they would probably be so surprised that their jaws would drop when they saw this scene, how could this kid do that?

The monks of the Three Realms perform the power of imperial objects, usually only when they are fighting or practicing, and suddenly urge foreign objects in the air, which is unexpected, making people unguardable. But this is only a moment's work, even if it is a little longer, it is only a moment, who can be like Baoyu who has been casting spells, always controlling such a thing to hang in the air, ordinary people can't afford to consume such divine energy!

But Baoyu didn't feel that he had consumed too much divine energy, which was a state of lingering and inattentive use. Zhu Ming could see it clearly, but he didn't open his mouth to remind, anyway, Baoyu had already eaten so many immortal elixirs, and after breaking through the Three Realms just now, the spiritual effect it absorbed would be more abundantly refined, no matter if he wasted it, as long as Baoyu could maintain this constant experience, it would be the biggest gain.

However, Xiao Tian kept staring at the glowing Lang Fruit hanging in front of Baoyu, as if to say, "Boss, why don't you accept the magic power?"

....

The other side.

When the envoy of the Xiangmuro Country, Lord Yuegeng, first came to Youyu Village, the Aoyama Patriarch didn't know about it, but later the Emperor of the Xiangmuro Kingdom sent someone to Youyu Village, and so many things happened in such a long time, it was impossible not to leak any rumors. The patriarch of Qingshan, who has been paying attention to the movements of Youyu Village, naturally found out a lot of news, and he also quietly sneaked into the vicinity of Youyu Village to secretly investigate, and mastered a lot of more secret information.

So the patriarch of Qingshan returned to Lu Village and asked Shuigu and the patriarch of Huahai Village to discuss countermeasures. According to the speculation of the patriarch of Qingshan, since the disappearance of Yuliang last time, it has been difficult for Yucun to move, but things have taken an unexpected turn. Yu Dahuo sent Yu and swam to Ba Yuan, and became a messenger to pay tribute to the monarch of the Prime Muro Kingdom on behalf of the barbarian tribes, and thus received the reward and support of the Prime Muro Country.

Youyu Village is the most powerful tribe in the wilderness today, with the benefits of fish and salt, far richer than most other tribes, and now with the help of farmers and soldiers sent by the Xiangmuro country, the production is more developed, the material supply is also more abundant, and more people can break away from daily work and specialize in military drills.

The patriarch of Qingshan said: "Youyu Village has trained a hundred-person battle formation, not for hunting, or for attack and preparation, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will force all the barbarian tribes to respect it, and it is no longer the current situation of coexistence in peace." ”

The Huahai Patriarch said: "Even if they have a battle formation of 100 people, can they still cross such a difficult and dangerous long-distance road in the wilderness to attack Lu Village and Huahai Village? ”

Shui Gu also said: "Even if Youyu Village has the support of the Xiangmuro Country, can the Xiangmuro Country still send a large army into the wilderness to help Youyu Village attack the various tribes? No matter how strong the national strength is, it can't withstand such attrition, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

Both of them are talking about the same truth, the struggle for hegemony between the tribes in the wilderness, the long and difficult road is a natural barrier. If a large group of men and horses is a long-distance expedition, the logistical pressure may not be borne by any tribe for a long time. Moreover, it was impossible to transport baggage on such mountain roads, and weapons and food had to be carried by people, and it was impossible for so many people to rely on hunting for food only when it was difficult to transport supplies, and no one could last long.

As long as Lu Village and Huahai Village are prepared, occupy a favorable location and defend the choke point, even if Youyu Village has a strong military formation, it is impossible to capture the village.

The Qingshan Patriarch shook his head and said, "Youyu Village doesn't need to attack Lu Village and Huahai Village from a long distance, and there is no need to attack other tribes. They had the easiest way into the Central Valley, and they had already established a stronghold. Therefore, as long as the decisive battle in the valley is sufficient, no one can be defeated by the army formation, and if Yucun completely controls the central valley, the tribes will have to obey the orders.

At that time, even if Lu Village and Huahai Village are unwilling to listen, the road connecting with the outside of the mountain has been cut off, and the communication and exchange with the various tribes must pass through the territory of the Yuyu clan, and their rules must be observed. Otherwise, we will have to stay here in isolation, unable to exchange what we need with the tribes, let alone get anything other than our own property, and the tribes will decline sooner or later, and we will still not be able to fight against the fish village in the future. ”

The Patriarch of the Flower Sea frowned and said, "In this way, sooner or later, there will be a conflict in the Central Valley. If we prepare in advance, concentrate the elite warriors of both clans in that valley, and then bring all the elite men with us, there are more than 300 people who can fight, can we win in one battle?"

Patriarch Qingshan: "It's this problem that I'm worried about, Youyu Village is already rich, and with the help of the Xiangmuro Country, it can support and train a hundred-person battle formation for a long time. And although we were able to gather more than 300 soldiers, it was only a temporary move, and it was impossible for them to be stationed in the valley for a long time to practice, and we could not afford to support them.

The trained battle formations, coupled with the armor and weapons they are equipped with, are suitable for combat, and their combat effectiveness is far beyond that of ordinary hunting teams, let alone the ability of heterozygous people. If we really fight in formation on the plains, even if we can gather 300 warriors in time, I am afraid that we will not be an opponent. Moreover, the losses of such a war are also unbearable for you and me. ”

This is also true, the more than 300 warriors who can go out of the mountains to fight mentioned by the Huahai patriarch are also the most important strong laborers of the two tribes, and they cannot be separated from production for a long time, and they only guard against Yucun in the central valley. If conflict comes, they will probably not have time to assemble at all, and even if they can assemble for a fight, the result will be very disastrous.

If these 300 strong laborers suffered too many casualties and too many losses, it would be a catastrophe for the tribe, and it would be difficult for them to continue to survive in the wilderness, and then the victory or defeat would be meaningless.

Shui Gu snorted coldly: "Patriarch Qingshan, when the time comes, you and I can go to war, directly break down their military formation, and slaughter the big fish shell!"

Patriarch Qingshan smiled bitterly: "I also thought so, if this can be solved, of course it is the best." I don't need you to rush into battle, I'll go alone. ”

Shui Gu was very dissatisfied and said, "What? Do you look down on my cultivation, even if you want to die, you have to go alone!"

When the Huahai Patriarch heard this, his tone was wrong, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Granny Shui, what Lord Shan means is that he doesn't want you to be in danger, if there is anything dangerous, he will charge in front of you." ”

Shui Gu: "I just don't like his idea, I always think that I have great ability, and I can do anything alone, and I don't need help from a woman!"

Patriarch Qingshan hurriedly explained: "I have no such intention, you haven't listened to me yet." Fang just said that if it can be solved in this way, of course, it is the best, but it is a pity that although you and I are masters in this wilderness, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat the well-trained and well-equipped battle formation alone. You must know that there are monks among them, as long as they can resist delaying you and me for a moment, and the armor surrounds them, the situation will not be good.

And if you and I make a mistake, Lu Village and Huahai Village will lose their protection, even if they want to exist alone in the wilderness, they can't get it. And we have to deal with not only Ariyu Village, but also Aimuro Province. Although the Prime Minister State can't send a large army here, he can always send a few masters. They don't have to be higher in cultivation than you and me, as long as they can cooperate with the military formation to block our onslaught. ”

Shui Gu also frowned: "You said so much, the left and right are invincible, so what should we do, are we just resigned to fate?"

Patriarch Qingshan said warmly: "Don't worry, in fact, I have other thoughts about this matter." I think that the Qingshui clan was the co-master in the wilderness, and there was nothing wrong with everyone being safe, but now we just don't want to see Yu Da Shell realize his ambition. It would be a good thing for the Zomuro Kingdom to integrate the barbarian tribes and form a tribal alliance. Isn't it good for both clans that Lu Village and Huahai Village have formed an alliance so far?"

The patriarch of Huahai suddenly interjected: "I somewhat understand what the mountain master meant, since the Xiangmuro country has intervened in the affairs of the wilderness and wants the tribes to form an alliance, then we will follow the situation to promote the alliance, but we can't let Yucun succeed, and we won't let Yuda Shell realize his selfish ambition." ”

The patriarch of Qingshan nodded and said: "That's right! The various tribes have formed an alliance and opened up formal contact with Ba Yuan, and we can get a lot of things from Ba Yuan, which cannot be produced in the wilderness, and we can also exchange the surplus products here, so what's the difference? The road is difficult, and it is impossible for the Xiangmuro country to send a large army to conquer and control this place, so it can only be a nominal appeasement." If the tribesmen are willing to accept the conscription in Ba Yuan and go to the world outside the mountains to see the world, just like the ancestors of my Lu Village, then it is not impossible. ”

The patriarch of Huahai nodded again and again, but Shui Gu snorted coldly and said: "Go to Bayuan to see the world?" Didn't you do this back then, and now you still want to go, maybe you can get a city lord in Bayuan?"

Patriarch Qingshan hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, this is not me. As long as you are, I will be there. ”

The patriarch of Huahai found that the tone of Granny Shui's speech to Shan Ye today was very wrong, and he always wanted to provoke a dispute, and he didn't know what past happened between the two.

Shui Gu said again: "You say, don't you have to defeat the army formation of Youyu Village on the plain? We have analyzed it just now, and we don't have any good way. ”

Patriarch Aoyama: "Victory and victory have different meanings, and once you see the situation clearly, you must think of the most appropriate countermeasures. We can also train an army formation, which will be enough to confront the army of Yuomura, and tell the envoys of the Aimuro Kingdom that they have been deceived by Yuyumura, and if they give up the idea of supporting the supremacy of Yuyumura, the barbarian tribes can still form an alliance, but they must listen to their opinions. ”

The Patriarch of the Flower Sea couldn't help but speak again: "But how can we train an army formation?

Aoyama said, "I came to find the two of you today, and that's exactly why. In the early years, I used to wander in 8 yuan, when there was a war there, and there were constant disputes, and I also dabbled in it, and knew how to raise troops and deploy the formation, and now we have such a number of people, and we can also accumulate some strength according to this method. At that time, there was a war and the population was reduced by one-fifth, but now we are in the wilderness and there is chaos, and I don't want that to happen here. ”
