In a blink of an eye, Dongfang Zhi was already ten years old.

Ten years ago, the pillars of the Dongfang family collapsed, and Dongfang Qiankun, the undefeated general of the Great Zhao Empire, died on the battlefield to recover Shage City. Whether it was for the Great Zhao Empire or the Dongfang Family, it was bad news.

In the past ten years, Dongfang Zhi's five uncles were stabbed to death one after another, and the twelve cousins were removed from the core team of the Great Zhao Empire, and several died inexplicably after returning home, and just half a month ago, Dongfang Zhi's last gold-armored swordsman-level cousin Dongfang Qingyun also lost contact with the Dongfang family.

The current Dongfang family is already "surviving" in the Great Zhao Kingdom, and many big families who have been coldly looked at by the Dongfang Mansion before have begun to deliberately find the stubble of the Dongfang family.

This day is Dongfang Zhi's birthday again, after worshipping his father in the ancestral hall, breakfast will go to his grandmother's yard to eat together as a family, before eating breakfast, Dongfang Zhi first sat down cross-legged to check the results of the Nine Dragons Diagram cultivation in the past ten years.

It is said that those who have cultivated a great degree can use their spiritual power to conjure nine dragons to fight, and each dragon has spiritual wisdom between them, and they can form an indestructible Nine Dragons Array, even if Nuwa is trapped for thousands of years, it is not a problem.

However, even if it was the Yuan Shi Tianzun in the previous life, he only cultivated to the point where the Seven Dragons came out together.

"I must speed up my cultivation. Dongfang Zhi said to himself, now he can conjure a dragon-shaped spiritual power flow in the dantian, but it is still a big step away from the real transformation of the spirit into a dragon.

Fortunately, the aura of this desolate continent is mellow, which is very beneficial to cultivation, and it is many times faster than when cultivating immortals. Dongfang Zhi wasn't very worried about his cultivation, but there was one thing, he had to grow up before the Dongfang family couldn't support it at all.

In addition to cultivating his own immortal cultivation method, Dongfang Zhi also practiced the absorption method passed on to him by his mother, and the absorption method was many times worse than his own immortal cultivation method, but in order to reassure his mother, he still studied it seriously, not to mention that the cultivation of absorbing hair was to pave the way for learning magic in the future, and Dongfang Zhi could not be careless.

After spitting out a big week in the dantian, Dongfang Zhi summoned out the half of the Sumeru needle dissolved in his body.

The Sumeru needle is not an inch long, but there is a unique hole in it, which is one of the most proud magic weapons of the Yuan Shi Tianzun in the previous life.

Dongfang Zhiqiang endured his excitement, and only after his mood calmed down did he carefully inject the little spiritual power he had cultivated in the past ten years into the Sumeru needle.

It's been ten years, Dongfang Zhi is waiting for the moment when he opens the Sumeru Needle, because there are things he needs in the Sumeru Needle, like he is now, even if he encounters a robber and bandit in the mountains, he can't fight, so he must become strong quickly.

Feeling the trace of clear spring-like spiritual power at his fingertips slowly absorbed by the Sumeru needle, Dongfang Zhichang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally at a certain moment, a golden light flashed away. Dongfang Zhi also disappeared in the golden light, and he entered the space of the Sumeru needle.

"Finally came in. Dongfang Zhi looked at his collection of magic weapons, pills, books, etc., and let out a burst of hair-making laughter.

"Hahaha, pills, magic weapons, I'm here!" Dongfang Zhi couldn't help but laugh wildly.

After ten years of exploration, Dongfang Zhi has basically grasped the situation of this world, it is said that this world is called "Honghuang Continent", and there is a very large and very large area in the Honghuang Continent, which is also called Zhongzhou by the world, and the Great Zhao Empire is a country in Zhongzhou.

There are five major empires in this central state, namely Yoga, Da Zhao, Luci, Gaia, and Viking. The five empires have been inherited for thousands of years, and they were originally peaceful, but in recent years, due to the interference of the Holy See, the five empires have often had major wars.

After the death of Dongfang Qiankun, the Dongfang family was coldly received by the imperial court, and the imperial court has already had contacts with the Holy See, in the past, the Dongfang family has always insisted on adhering to the "Three Qing Gods", and now the Holy See has entered the Great Zhao State, and the situation of the Dongfang family is more precarious.

In order to survive, Dongfang Zhi realized that he had to do everything he could to improve his strength as soon as possible, otherwise Dongfang Jia would suffer and he would not be able to escape his doom.

Dongfang Zhi looked at the various magic weapons in the Sumeru needle, and said to himself: "In order to save your life, you must first choose one with strong defense, and Tianchen clothes must be necessary." ”

Tianchen clothes are the magic weapons of the early Yuan Shi Tianzun refining with strong defense, worn close to the body, usually hidden on the surface of the skin, completely invisible, only when encountering attacks, its defense is amazing, even if the general magic weapon directly hits the chest, Tianchen clothes can also resolve the power of eight or nine times out of ten, for the current Dongfang Zhi, it is the best.

After putting on the Tianchen clothes, Dongfang Zhi walked to the armory. The various magic weapons in the arsenal are dazzling, and at first glance they are some high-end goods, and any one of them is an artifact-level thing. But these guys can only look at their greed, and Dongfang Zhi's current ability is not enough to urge them.

After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Zhi landed his gaze on a small golden box in the corner.

"That's it. Dongfang Zhi said to himself.

What is contained in the small golden box is a flying sword refined by the Yuan Shi Tianzun in the previous life, but the purpose of refining this flying sword is not to make a weapon, it is just a plaything that is idle and boring, refining, because the flying sword body is emerald green, and the shape is half a ring, so the Yuan Shi Tianzun calls it the Moon Shadow, and now Dongfang Zhi can barely urge the Moon Shadow to carry out an attack, no more.

With Tianchen Yi and Moon Shadow, Dongfang Zhi finally has a little confidence in his heart, but it is not enough to rely on those two things, in order to recover his strength as soon as possible, Dongfang Zhi also needs some panacea washing.

However, in the Dan Room, even if it was the lowest-level elixir, it was only taken by those Saint King-level main gods back then, and Dongfang Zhi, who is only ten years old now, let alone taking this elixir, even if it is diluted ten thousand times, he can't stand such a powerful energy impact.

Helplessly, it seems that he can only rely on himself to find a way to practice himself.

After coming out of the Sumeru needle, Dongfang Zhi changed into a clean robe, and after washing, he went directly to his grandmother's yard. Today is his birthday, and his grandmother and mother specially cooked a table of good dishes for him.

Before eating, Murong Xue first had to check Dongfang Zhi's cultivation.

"Zhi'er, let Weiniang see how your cultivation is?" Murong Xue said with a smile. On the Flood Desolation Continent, there are countless ways to become stronger, which are generally divided into mages, swordsmen, array mages (also known as the Bin family), poisoners, and priests.

Seven years ago, Dongfang Zhi showed a certain amount of mage talent at the age of three, so Murong Xue had already taught Dongfang Zhi the method of absorbing magical elements.

"Mother, I think I can learn spells now. Dongfang Zhi said as he spread out his hand, and suddenly a magic ball condensed from magic elements appeared in his palm, and this magic ball represented his cultivation.

Murong Xue saw the magic ball and said in surprise: "Zhi'er is really a little genius, your mana has barely become a second-level magic apprentice, oh my God, a ten-year-old second-level mage, hehe, my little darling, you will add glory to your mother, and you will become the pride of the Dongfang family." ”

The old lady of Dongfang also said happily: "The Dongfang family finally has a successor, haha!"

Dongfang Zhi smiled and said, "Mother, but I don't know a single spell." "Dongfang Zhi just used one percent of his spiritual power, and he didn't expect to be a little genius in the eyes of his mother and grandmother, but he can't just have mana, he has to learn spells to be a real mage.

Murong Xue smiled: "The birthday gift I want to give you today is to teach you a spell. ”

When Dongfang Zhi heard this, he immediately said happily: "Really, that's really good." Let's get started now. ”

Murong Xue said, "Look at your anxious appearance, similar to your father, don't you eat any food?"

The old lady of the East glanced at her daughter-in-law and said, "By the way, yesterday I heard that a new university was built in the western suburbs, which was prepared by Master Doni of the Holy See, called the Bright Academy, I don't know if it's true?"

Murong Xue said, "Yes, it is said that it was the advice made by that damned black-robed mage of Doni to the lord of the country. The lord of the country was cowardly, so he had to agree, the Bright Academy was built, and the Great Zhao Empire would follow Xinfeng in the future. ”

The old lady of the East looked up at the sky and said, "But the Three Qing Dao Venerables have not shown miracles for hundreds of years, and the servants of the Second Light God, the Winged Angel, often appear in this world, what can we do?"

Dongfang Zhi had an ominous premonition, so he asked curiously: "Grandma, who is Sanqing Daozun?"

The old lady of the East smiled and said, "Our god, that is an amazing existence, as long as you believe in him, he will help you." ”

Dongfang Zhi thought to himself: "Isn't the person grandma said about our three senior brothers?" If it's not okay, if it's really the three brothers, then he will really die of shame.

"What is the God of Light?" Dongfang Zhi asked.

Murong Xue suddenly said solemnly: "Zhi'er, don't mention the God of Light easily in the future, you know?"

Dongfang Zhi nodded as if he didn't understand, in fact, he had already understood that there was a difference between the gods believed in by the Great Zhao Empire and the other four major empires. The Holy See and the other four empires believed in the God of Light, but only the Great Zhao Empire believed in the "Three Qing Daozun".

However, the current Great Zhao Empire is in danger, without the Eastern Family to resist foreign humiliation, coupled with the supreme authority of the Holy See, it is only a matter of time before the Great Zhao Empire is encroached.

"Zhi'er, grandma also has a gift for you. The old lady of Dongfang pulled Dongfang Zhi in front of her with a smile and said kindly.

"What is it?" Dongfang Zhi looked expectant.

The old lady of Dongfang said with a smile: "You are already ten years old, in our Dongfang family, a ten-year-old boy should have been sharpened on the battlefield, but, for your safety, we have locked you up in Dongfang Mansion for ten years, and we have never let you out of Dongfang Mansion." You're a lot behind your dad and they do, you know?"

Dongfang Zhi nodded and said, "Understood." ”

The old lady of the East touched his head happily and said, "What a good boy, grandma wants to give you two gold-armored swordsmen and ten black-armored swordsmen, no matter where you go in the future, they will protect you, and in the future, they will teach you the art of swordsmanship." ”

"Golden Armor Swordsman?" Dongfang Zhi jumped up happily, it was a scarce commodity.

In this world, there is a strict force assessment system, if you want to serve in the army, you must participate in this level assessment, generally according to the rank can be divided into soldiers, iron swordsmen, silver armor swordsmen, gold armor swordsmen four classes, after the gold armor swordsman is the sword god.

The gold-armored swordsman Wan Zhongyi is already very good.

It is said that Dongfang Qiankun is a sword god. And in the entire Zhongzhou, there are no more than ten famous sword gods, which shows how big the death of Dongfang Qiankun is to the Dongfang family.

The old lady of the East said: "Of course, what grandma said will be false?"

Dongfang Zhi happily threw himself into the arms of the old lady Dongfang, it felt good to have relatives to care. In the past ten years, he has slowly changed his attitude towards the people of the Dongfang family from his indifference and rejection at the beginning, and now, Dongfang Zhi is already the little master of the Dongfang family, and he is no longer the dominating Yuan Shi Tianzun.

After breakfast, Murong Xue took Dongfang Zhi to their Dongfang family's training ground, after the defeat of the Dongfang family, if it weren't for the fact that Jiwei was still there, even if the assassins of various countries did not kill them, they were afraid that they would be excluded from the capital by the imperial court. So at this moment, the training ground is empty, and it looks extremely depressed.

Murong Xue glanced at the training ground and said proudly: "Zhi'er, this is where your father trained before his death, is the pomp and circumstance big?"

Dongfang Zhi glanced at the training ground, this is a large training ground with a radius of two or three thousand meters, it is indeed big enough, but it is still a little small in his eyes, Dongfang Zhi said: "Mom, I want a training ground ten times larger than this in the future." ”

Murong Xue smiled, thinking that his son was just a child who was ignorant, you must know that this training ground is the largest training ground in the Great Zhao Empire, even if it is the entire Zhongzhou, it is difficult to find a comparable training ground.

"Alright, today I'm going to teach you the simplest spell, it's called Haze City. Murong Xue said, and with a wave of her hand, a large white mist appeared on the training ground.

Dongfang Zhi looked at his mother in surprise, not because of how clever this spell was, but because the spiritual power used in this spell was too little, it was simply too little. Dongfang Zhi used more than ten times more energy to open the Sumeru needle, so he could throw more than ten clouds with his hands?
