Multiverse Setting:

At the beginning of Hongmeng's development, the entire main world was infinitely vast and vast, and a huge number of various species thrived and evolved freely in the Honghuang Continent.

After thousands of years of peace, five ancient saints finally fought each other, and the collapsed Zhuxian Sword Formation, and the detoxifying sword qi that exploded tore apart the entire desolation. Although the sword array was broken, the Tongtian Saint was defeated, but the other four Saints were not able to really take advantage.

Originally, everyone was just playing mahjong, but Tongtian turned the table, and the desolate world turned into the current cosmic heavens. The saint retreated, the worlds were divided, and the story began here......

Career System Setting:

Wizards, the first-class god refiners of the multiverse, can almost go hand in hand with cultivators. It's a pity that it is difficult for the Ten Thousand Tribulation Yin Spirit to enter the Holy Realm, and it is difficult to break through the Nine Extremes after all, if you only refine the gods and do not cultivate the body.

Cultivator, also known as the "Heavenly Locust", the strongest profession in the universe.

In any world plane, as long as there are cultivators, it is basically impossible for other professions to exist. The fairy road is in the front, the heavenly machine is on the line, there is you without me. Therefore, the evil demons are all exterminated.

Warriors, the most widely spread civilian profession in the multiverse, there are warriors in a civilized world, although there is no shortage of glorious talents, but more than 95% of them are difficult to get rid of the fate of "cannon fodder" after all.

Professional,Wizard civilization made,As a quick combat force and the existence of the cannon fodder legion,Generally speaking, twenty levels are the first order,Each level can get up to five attribute points,If you don't get one,The more fierce the battle,The more attribute points you get,Five is the cap。

At present, there are a large number of professional legions among the remnants of the earth, and their advantage over the soul slave legions is that they have relatively good discipline and restraint, which can be used for wizards to rule the middle and lower levels of the enslaved world...... After all, soul slaves, massive demonic beasts, no matter how strong their combat power is, they can't undertake basic work such as regional police stations.

Ultimate setting: The wizard civilization and the cultivator civilization rise in their respective cosmic communities, each spreading and conquering in all directions, conquering countless planes and obtaining countless resources, and one day, they will collide with each other, stagger, and then fight.

Because there is only one overlord of the universe, because of the exclusivity of civilization and inheritance, this vast galaxy, the boundless universe, I don't know who will dominate and push its own civilization to the peak of the ninth order.

........................

The first rays of sunlight in the morning came obliquely through the window and fell on the white stone floor, so that the reflection reflected the jade-like light.

At this moment, Zhu Peng was sitting in front of the wooden table by the window. His eyes were slightly closed, and he was quietly meditating on the Shadow Mask Rune Table.

If you insist on substituting it with the civilization of the Earth Age, it is something similar to the periodic table, but the meditation method, as one of the foundations of the entire wizard civilization system, has its own unique wonders.

And the Shadow Mask Meditation Method, as a revolutionary initiative that some powerful madman considers to be across the ages, is indeed strange and unpredictable.

The whole body is like being immersed in a cold ancient well, and there is a sense of coldness that shrouds and pours into the body from all directions, Zhu Peng sticks to his mind and will, and concentrates on staring at the rows of ice-blue twisted runes in front of him, because he is meditating after practicing boxing, Zhu Peng's body is warm at this time, and his qi and blood are lively and surging. However, as the meditation progressed, the chill on all sides gradually froze his body like an old corpse in an ancient well.

It's just that the incomparably strong heart in Zhu Peng's chest is beating strongly and gently, it is like a golden-red war drum, spreading the power of a circle of 360 degrees to the master's circumference, and Zhu Peng's state has always been stable in a certain state.

The lowest level of meditation has actually existed since the age of the earth, such as a person meditating on himself soaking in a hot spring, the mind is relaxed, the mind is empty, and every inch of the skin around the body is soaked in the warm spring water, when the fake becomes true, the body is really relaxed because of this meditation, as if it has really been soaked in the hot spring, even if it is the introduction of meditation.

Just as some religious fanatics can form stigma out of thin air on their bodies through meditation and prayer, this is the spiritual power to effectively change physical reality.

Cover a death row inmate with his eyes tied, slide the back of a knife over his wrist, and then let him listen to the sound of water dripping, after a while, this death row inmate really died because of "excessive blood loss", he was not scared to death, the cause of death was really excessive blood loss.

The human brain is wonderfully profound, the earth in the 21st century is only a fourth-order civilization, and even the shackles of the planet itself have not been completely broken, and the research on spiritual power is at a low level, and the same is true for meditation.

The meditation method of the wizarding world is ten million times more clever than the primary meditation method of the earth era, and at the same time, it is also ten million times more dangerous, and the immature meditation method shadow mask, the degree of danger will increase by an order of magnitude on this basis.

The risks of a truly mature Wisdom Meditation method based by a fifth-order transcendent wizard/world master are controllable and avoidable, while cultivating the Shadow Mask is like maneuvering a boat in the angry sea.

Even if Zhu Peng had cultivated his spiritual power to the level of a legendary great wizard, when he meditated, he would still feel cold, weightless, shrouded in fear, and a sense of distortion in the space around him, and so on.

Because he has cultivated all the way from his apprentice to the present, he has gradually deepened the Shadow Mask Meditation Method, and the runes of meditation have also increased from a single to the current one, and as the meditation method has been deepened step by step, the danger has also increased step by step.

Fortunately, the pure yang immortal heart that has been cultivated since childhood turned the void into reality in a meditative state, constantly dispelling the negative state, invigorating Zhu Peng's spirit, allowing him to condense his willpower and visualize the runes.

The rune system of normal meditation, no matter how complicated and obscure, difficult and difficult to understand, it is stable, even solid, and the inability to meditate is often due to the cultivator's own level is not enough, but the rune system of the shadow mask meditation method is completely different, it will even change with the change of the meditator's mind, and constantly produce stress changes, basically the more the meditator's mood fluctuates, the more distorted and changed the characters are, and finally completely drive the cultivator crazy.

The golden-red heart beats, the aftermath spreads, the warmth dispels the cold oppression around him, and gathers and amplifies Zhu Peng's will and spirit.

The Pure Yang Immortal Heart in the Earth Age is just a set of relatively perfect artistic conception cultivation states summed up by the predecessors and sages, which can effectively shield and suppress the negative emotions of cultivators, and the negative emotions here do not mean that it is forbidden to do bad things, snatch or even kill people.

Rather, it refers to a certain state of mind that does not allow the cultivator to sink into a low state, and can always maintain a relatively positive and active state, for the descendants of the Wudang Pure Yang Sect, this is a set of core cultivation methods that are inherited by lineage and kept secret.

Zhang Yuanfang practiced back then, Li Daoman did not practice this set of mental methods because his heart was not suitable, but he had the inheritance of this set of exercises, but Li Qinglian had never cultivated, and she practiced a set of mental methods that Li Daoman summed up that was more suitable for her...... After all, she is a girl, she will always marry in the future, and when she has a child, even if it is the sect and the master, it is no longer difficult to prohibit her from teaching the secret method to her children, so the town sect method like Pure Yang Immortal Heart is simply passed on to men and not to women.

At this moment, it was this kind of exercise that allowed Zhu Peng to suppress all painful thoughts, like a heartless and ruthless god of true martial arts in the north, so that the large runes of the shadow mask gradually stabilized and became clear.

When the meditation ended, Zhu Peng's body was already soaked in cold sweat, as if he had just been really soaked in an ancient well full of corpses, the cold and terrifying, the terrifying feeling of the woman in white standing behind him, it was difficult to wander for a while.

"Those who are fighting in the army, all go forward in arrays!"

Spread the seal with both hands, and use the external method to suppress his own mind, although in the wizarding world, this set of hand seal method actually has no practical effect, but Zhu Peng has practiced the mental method since he was a child, and he does have the effect of holding this spell to intimidate people on the outside and suppress evil demons inside.

How to combine these things with the existing knowledge system of the wizarding world and transform them into martial arts is also something that is being studied frantically within the Daomen of the Chinese Warrior Association, and there are already some achievements, if there is a breakthrough, high-level people like Zhu Peng, Li Daoman, and Xu Baishan will definitely be the first to benefit.

"Normal meditation is based on subjective spirituality, intellect and even calmness...... And the shadow mask of the mentor changes with the change of people, and overtapping the deep potential of the sea of consciousness is indeed a complete departure from the orthodoxy of the meditation system of the wizarding world. "If the orthodox meditation method is based on the front of the wizard's main ideology, then the shadow mask meditation method goes around the back of the wizard's subconscious, and once it is truly successful, it can be said that it has doubled the entire wizard's spiritual power system.

Yin and yang are born together, and yin and yang are combined. The solitary yang does not grow, and the solitary yin does not grow. Although this is an old-fashioned and naïve theoretical discourse of Taoism in the Earth Age, there is also a proven example in the wizarding world: the Lich.

Lich, as long as the transformation is successful, the lowest third-order legendary spellcaster, there are almost no weaker lichs in history, and they are extremely powerful, the third-order legendary great lich overturned the demigods, and the fourth-order undead emperor is tough and extraordinary, all of this exaggerated record is made by the lich.

Endless life, the insane thirst for knowledge, finally forged the strength of the lich profession, if the Juggernaut and the Danshi are the hidden professions of the warriors, then the lich is the hidden professions of the lawyers.

However, in this world, there are almost no transcendent lichs at the top of the fourth order, not to mention all, and there are almost no transcendent lichs at all, which is an unsolved mystery that has not been thoroughly studied even in the wizarding world, but there is a basic consensus that can be drawn: the lich cannot be promoted to transcendent because they have lost their physical bodies.

Although he has gained a long life that is almost comparable to that of the transcendental, it will never be just comparable, and whether he admits it or not, it is an objective fact that the transcendent is a more powerful being than a demigod.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult for a lich who has lost his body to be promoted from the legendary rank to a demigod existence.

Walking to the side of the room, Zhu Peng washed his face and lifted his spirits, looking at his slightly pale cheeks reflected in the water, he smiled.

“...... I think I understand the true intention of the mentor to create the Shadow Mask Meditation Method, to find the negative in the spiritual power system, to broaden the path, if he really does this, then he can help the Witch Emperor Kasa, break through to the ninth order of the wizard, and become the true Emperor of the Universe. Shaking his head, the next moment Zhu Peng stopped thinking about the answer that suddenly popped into his mind, because no matter whether his thoughts and guesses were right or wrong, such a high-end matter had nothing to do with a third-order little wizard.

However, a thought that was still inevitable flashed through Zhu Peng's mind:

(According to the theory of dual cultivation of life, if the physical body is yang, the spiritual power itself is yin, and the negative yin is found in the yin...... Cathode Yang Sheng!?It's too difficult, right?)

Go out for a morning exercise, and then have breakfast with the summoning master of Yanda Village, the old man Yanda, because this place itself belongs to the management of the Dragon Alliance, after learning the news that the Dragon Envoy is temporarily not in the alliance's base camp, Zhu Peng and Katrin temporarily live in this village and town.

Although he is just a native old man in the world of mental imagery, Yan Da himself is still very good at cultivating demons, and Zhu Peng is not even as knowledgeable as the old man in front of him in terms of techniques and accumulation, so he is also happy to spend some time learning something from Yan Da.

"Got up, Rod, you always get up so early, unlike that red-haired lazy girl who won't get up until the sun basks her ass. After seeing Zhu Peng, the old man Yanda said with a smile.

Although he lost an arm, he was still a spirited old man, and he did not see the slightest decline, or in the course of his life, the loss of an arm was not a big deal.

"Katrin wakes up around seven or eight o'clock every day, and it's not too late, it's just that you and I get up a little too early. Of course, Zhu Peng would not say that he had punched in the room, and even practiced meditation.

He has mastered the Pure Yang Sect's Sleep Pill Secret Method, even if his body is weak in the Mental Image World, the habits he has developed over the years still allow him to maintain a healthy mental state with very little sleep, which is incomparable to normal people.

"Well, diligent people should be rewarded, where did we talk about yesterday? It's about the cultivation of demons, right?"

"Rod, it can be seen that each of your demons has been cultivated very well, but you seem to be too majestic, I found that although your demons are in a vigorous and positive state, but except for the pig, the other demons seem to be afraid of you, this is not good, we summoners want to form a benign and cordial relationship with our own demons, I have a set of secret massage techniques to teach you, occasionally give your own demons a massage, to strengthen the tacit understanding and feelings between each other, it is very beneficial. In this last days, Yan Da has no view of the gateway at all, and to Zhu Peng, he can be said to have taught what he has learned and learned.

Although in Zhu Peng's view, the cost performance of many of his practices is not very high, it does not prevent him from absorbing some of his knowledge.

Of course, it can't be said that the old man Yanda has no view of the portal at all, at least in front of Katrin, he doesn't mention these things. Or, in itself, it's part of what Yanda calls an "early bonus."

Half a month later, in a mountain forest near Yanda Village.

The blazing flames burned high, and the corpses and bones everywhere, some were once human, and there were also those who had just fallen into the wild demons, and the faint black and red demon spirit light flames were scattered like flying flames, although they were too thin compared to the ghouls and the like, but the quality was insufficient to make up for the quantity, Zhu Peng's five major summons made the demons come out together, and almost slaughtered all the wild demons in this mountain forest.

In this world of demons, when humans are still the main body of the world, wild demons may be a precious resource, which can pay attention to the coexistence of "harmony between humans and demons", and in this apocalyptic era, a huge number of wild demons will even form a tide of wild beasts that will impact the villages and towns of Yanda.

In the past half a month, the old man Yan Da has taught Zhu Peng, of course, Zhu Peng also reciprocated, and before leaving, he first started to clean up the nearby wild demon settlement, and the old man Yan Da also took out two magic spirit balls as a reward after knowing about this.

The current magic spirit ball is a strategic resource, and it is the key for ordinary people to control and make the demon gain power, except for the top human forces such as the Dragon Alliance, the other magic spirit balls are all old books before the apocalypse, and they are really one less than one.

"If you still want to capture the demons, you'd better hurry, or I'll kill all the demons. "At the height of the beast tide before, Catlyn could only hide in the trees behind her, while Zhu Peng was wearing an anti-gravity steel armor and holding an ice spear to fight with his own demons at the forefront.

Now the most exaggerated and prosperous beast tide has been killed, and the mutated green mud on Zhu Peng's body has broken away and turned into Arthur's Purgatory Hound form, and it spews flames to kill the fish that have slipped through the net around it.

At this time, although Zhu Peng was holding the ice spear, he was already relatively leisurely, and he turned his head to say to the red-haired girl who had just climbed down from the tree behind him.

"The strongest and most ferocious ones have all been killed by you first, now how do you let me choose? There are only two magic spirit balls, of course I have to choose the best to get back to my roots." Catelyn responded, holding the two orbs in her hands, but she hesitated.

Yan Da gave, as a reward for the elimination of wild demons, Zhu Peng didn't ask for any of the two demon spirit balls, all of them were transferred to Katrin, he has always been specialized and not expensive, before the core five-headed demon is not all promoted to the legendary demon, Zhu Peng will not cultivate more demons to distract his energy, although, so far the difference is only mutated green clay.

But mutant green clay is also the most difficult to promote, and the most functional after promotion.

At this moment, the roar of a giant beast suddenly came from the dense bushes of the mountain forest, and then an extremely strong and fierce giant bear broke through the bush enclosure and fanned the mutated green clay mimic Arthurs with an agile claw that did not fit its shape, but even if it was the weakest one among all Zhu Peng's demons, Zhu Peng's mutated green clay was still an existence experienced in a hundred battles, and when it was fanned into the air, the Ikeyang on Zhu Peng's shoulder shot out several spears of light, which is an offensive force for hostile existences, and this is a legendary level recovery spell for existing existences。

The mutant green clay was seriously injured in mid-air, and when it fell to the ground, the injuries on its body had already recovered halfway, and when it turned into a giant bear form and pounced on it again, its various states had gradually recovered to its peak...... Therefore, if you don't prioritize killing the nurse in a team battle, it is likely that you will not be able to kill anyone in a big battle.

In the mountains and forests, many demons whose intelligence is not inferior to that of humans also discovered this situation and consciously launched a surprise attack on Zhu Peng, but in front of Zhu Peng, the purgatory demon dog Arthurs, the light flame pterosaur of the Split Sky Seat, the dragon-blooded dwarf Dark God, the wrath of the northern kingdom gray fangs and steel sideburns, plus a super nurse Jupiter Spirit Ike, the hardness of the lineup is really like steel and iron, coupled with the cold air around him, Zhu Peng, who is superb in gunnery, wants to break through such a lineup, at least with a group of wild demons It is impossible to do it.

"Bang!"

When two giant bears with black and brown fur and only a silver circle on their chests collided in one place, the air almost spread out in all directions, and a circle of ripples surged.

The real mountain and forest storm bear is brutal and fierce, and the mutated green clay mimic storm bear is more calm and calm, with its own meticulous law hidden, it is in a mimic confrontation with the opponent for a while, in a time of advance and retreat, suddenly changed into Arthurs, opened its mouth and blaze the fierce mountain forest storm bear to push back, and the next moment turned into gray teeth steel sideburns and savagely charged, knocking the opponent to the ground.

smashed and trampled with a heavy body, but at the moment when the opponent counterattacked, he made a flexible backward leap, and then his body melted into the dark god of Jackie Dragon's blood, swinging the hammer in his hand like a propeller, beating and smashing the big bear that was already injured and losing his courage to scream.

In fact, the mutant green clay is in a state of zero defense in the process of mimic transformation, and its own blood volume is not much, if the opponent attacks and interrupts its mimic at this time, the mutant green clay will be hit hard in an instant and be defeated directly.

But after all, following Zhu Peng's Jiazi years, the mutant green clay's control of the rhythm of the battle has reached an extremely clever point, it began to mimic the other party, not because the opponent's combat form is better, but to understand all the skills and data of the other party, when it is completely insightful and thorough, switch to various states, seize the opportunity everywhere, beat the big bear on the opposite side to wail again and again, and finally completely collapsed in mentality.

This strong mountain and forest overlord finally fled into the distance in embarrassment, and then the mutated green clay has been mimicked into the form of a cracked empty seat light flame pterodactyl, opening his mouth photons to condense, and the next moment the strong beam light suddenly shot out like a laser, but under Zhu Peng's signal, the strong beam of light that originally pointed to the heart of the mountain and forest storm bear finally hit the back and shoulder of the storm bear, and directly knocked it down.

Moments later, the mimic Flame Pterodactyl's wings vibrated and flew high, grabbing the mountain bear that was already in a state of serious injury, and then soaring in a half-circle and throwing it in front of Katrin.

"Woo, they were all abused by you to scum, and you only gave it to me if you didn't want it. Although she pouted and complained aggrievedly with red lips, Catlyn was still full of joy and put away the mountain and forest storm bear with the magic spirit ball.

In the girl's heart, she also knew very well that no matter how strong she was, she couldn't control it at all, and right now, this strong third-order demon was already very close to her limit.

Seeing that Katrin successfully collected the mountain and forest storm bear, Zhu Peng also let go of a matter in his heart, after all, the task of collecting seven medals to challenge the hegemony of the Dragon Alliance, Catlin They don't know how long they have been doing, maybe it is a super long-term task that is close to being completed after entering the mental world several times, and now they are taking all the benefits by themselves at the last moment, if there is no soup at all, Zhu Peng will feel a little unhappy.

Of course, this is for a young and beautiful girl, if it is a bald man......

Because the battle lasted a little longer, Zhu Peng and Katrin simply camped in the mountains and forests at night.

The bonfire was burning, the night was quiet, and the remnants of the killing ground were arrogant, but the few remnants of the demon capital in the mountains and forests avoided and did not dare to approach.

"According to Uncle Xu's speculation back then, the mentor is likely to be parasitized by too many demons when cultivating parasitic demons, and then it became what it is now, the main body of this world is actually the mentor's mental image, although we also occupy a part of it, but it is only a small part, the more certain traces appear in the mentor's mental image world, the greater the influence of someone on him. ”

"Like Uncle Yan Da, the Dragon Envoy and even other native natives are not so much real living people as some kind of spiritual derivation of their mentors...... There are only a few parts of this world that still have preserved human civilization, and most of them are apocalyptic scenes, indicating that the Guru's sanity has gone terribly wrong, and he is crazy, and there is a tendency to become more and more crazy. Reflecting the firelight, the beautiful red-haired girl drank the drink in the thermos cup in both hands and told the man next to her everything she knew.

"Something like the mentor has gone crazy, in fact, there is no need to deduce, I'm afraid even he knows the fact that he has gone crazy, but he is controlled by his extremely strong willpower, I am afraid it is not an exaggeration to call it some kind of obsession, until he really completes the Shadow Mask Meditation Method, or the entire God Eater system, he will not allow himself to completely lose control. Recalling the obsession revealed by the ghost-shaped man before he entered the mental image world, Zhu Peng also said with some emotion.

I don't know why, he's so persistent. ”

"I've heard from other wizards before. The Mentor used to seem to be a genius wizard from the Babel Witch Tower, and he didn't know who the Mentor's Mentor would be to be able to teach such a crazy but talented disciple. But at least a transcendent being, right?" Catelyn whispered softly as the darkness deepened.

The next day, Zhu Peng and Katrin bid farewell to the people in Yanda Village and Town, and followed the caravan to the Dragon Alliance, preparing to visit the "Dragon Envoy" who had just returned.

Generally speaking, the journey went smoothly, although there were some unexpected situations along the way, but Zhu Peng didn't have a chance to make a move, and those battles were all handled by the red-haired witch who had just made a powerful demon move.
