Chapter 3: Three Years Later
Spring has gone and autumn has come, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the depths of the mountains and forests, a young man in animal skin is riding on the back of a giant tiger, directing the giant tiger to run around, stopping from time to time to pick a wild fruit and nibble on two bites, indescribably free.
This beast-skinned boy was none other than Shangguan Yao, who was about to turn ten years old, and it was the giant tiger he had beaten to the ground three years ago.
In three years, because of his cultivation, Shangguan Xiaoyao began to grow in size, and although he was not yet ten years old, he didn't look much different from those thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys.
Of course, the biggest change in Shangguan Xiaoyao in the past three years is not the growth of his head, but the rapid progress of his cultivation. Since he reached the Great Consummation of Quenching the Body three years ago and successfully stimulated the remaining wisp of innate qi in his body and stepped into the realm of Qi refining in one fell swoop, Shangguan Yaoyao's cultivation has been like a bamboo shoot breaking out of the ground, which can be described as one day at a time.
The Qi Refining Realm is divided into twelve levels, each of which corresponds to one main meridian, and each main meridian corresponds to nine acupoints, making a total of one hundred and eight acupoints in the main meridians of the twelve meridians.
Now, Shangguan Xiaoyao has opened up the eleven main meridians in his body, and the last twelfth main meridian has also opened up a full eight of them, leaving only the last key point that has not been opened. This also means that Shangguan Xiaoyao's cultivation has reached the twelvefold realm of qi refining, and only the last step is missing to completely penetrate the twelve main meridians, so that the "qi" in the meridians can form a perfect Zhoutian cycle in one hundred and eight acupoints, so as to reach the peak of the qi refining realm, which is often referred to as the great perfection realm of qi refining.
At the age of less than ten years, his cultivation has reached the twelfth level of qi refining, and he is only one step away from refining qi to the great consummation, such a terrifying cultivation speed, even if it is the knowledge of Shangguan in his previous life, he has never heard of it.
After all, how many people can have such an ungodly opportunity as rebirth?
Moreover, it is also a rebirth, and there is a difference in it.
A strong person like Shangguan Xiaoyao, who has reached the emperor realm, carries soul memories and is reborn in the body of a young child, even if it is compared among the reborn, it is one in a billion, and it is envious, jealous and hateful to countless reborns.
Because of this kind of anti-heaven opportunity, the probability of ordinary mortals obtaining is far greater than that of martial artists, and the more powerful the martial artist, the more slim the chance of rebirth, which comes from the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth. Even if you succeed by luck, either you need to cultivate to a certain level to have a chance to trigger the memories of your previous life, or your soul is traumatized and your memory is missing from your previous life, or there are other unfavorable reasons, etc.
The reason why Shangguan Xiaoyao was able to become one of the lucky ones who could carry the soul memories of his previous life to be reborn into a young child was that according to his speculation after being reborn, it should have something to do with the mysterious Divine Pattern Space. After all, he was concentrating all his soul power to impact the Divine Pattern space, and before he was suddenly attacked by that brother-killing beast, before he fell, Shangguan Xiaoyao keenly felt that there was a change in the Divine Pattern space, and the Dao Dao Divine Pattern suddenly bloomed, forming a terrifying devouring force, and without waiting for Shangguan Xiaoyao to react, he instantly devoured his soul.
With such a change in the Divine Pattern space, Shangguan Xiaoyao was already very sure that his rebirth had something to do with it.
As for the specific reason, it is not something he can know now.
......
"Phew, this wild fruit is really hard to eat!" Shangguan Xiaoyao threw away the wild fruit in his hand that he had bitten into, pursed his lips, and said: "I can only pick these ordinary wild fruits here to taste them, and if I want to obtain a spiritual fruit that is both delicious and has an auxiliary effect on my own cultivation, I have to continue to advance into the depths of the mountains and forests." ”
For martial artists, in addition to their own efforts and talents, the auxiliary role of some natural treasures cannot be ignored. In particular, some relatively rare natural treasures have a huge help for the cultivation of martial artists that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
And the spirit fruit is one of the many heavenly treasures.
Shangguan in the previous life was born with a noble background, not to mention all kinds of spiritual fruits, but at least there will be no shortage of these things. Now that he has been reborn, everything has to rely on himself, and if he wants to get the spiritual fruit, he has to go deep into the mountains and forests to find it himself.
"Big worm, let's go, take you inside for a long time!" After making a decision, Shangguan Xiaoyao did not delay any longer, patted the giant tiger's forehead with his hand, and calmly commanded.
The giant tiger has been tamed by Shangguan Xiaoyao in the past three years, and when he saw Shangguan Xiaoyao's instructions, he didn't even think about it, so he walked towards the depths of the mountains and forests.
This is the first time Shangguan Xiaoyao has really gone deep into the mountains and forests, and it is still unknown whether the depths of the mountains and forests are as he expected, which is why he has not gone deep into the mountains and forests in the past three years. After all, although the spirit fruit is of great help to the cultivation of martial artists, it also depends on the specific cultivation situation, like Shangguan Xiaoyao, whose cultivation progress is advancing rapidly, instead of wasting time looking for the spirit fruit that does not necessarily exist, it is better to concentrate on cultivation and maybe improve faster!
It's the same as the famous bending down to pick up money, it's better to make money quickly.
Now Shangguan Xiaoyao is thinking about going deep into the mountains and forests to find the spirit fruit, not because his cultivation speed has slowed down, but because he wants to find some spirit fruit to prepare for the Yuan Realm after refining the Qi Realm. After all, the Yuan Realm is one of the most important realms in a martial artist's cultivation career, and its importance even if Shangguan Xiaoyao, an old monster who has reached the Emperor Realm, has to be treated with caution.
The giant tiger galloped wildly for hundreds of miles under the command of Shangguan Xiaoyao, until it faintly sensed that there was a powerful and terrifying aura in front of it, and then stopped hesitatingly.
Even the giant tiger can sense the breath, Shangguan Xiaoyao has naturally sensed it, seeing that the giant tiger is afraid of that breath and does not dare to move forward, he can't help but laugh and scold: "You coward, go quickly, isn't it just a low-level spirit beast, I will keep you safe and sound." ”
Although Shangguan Xiaoyao didn't take that low-level spirit beast seriously, for beasts, the suppression of rank was very terrifying.
Take ordinary beasts as an example, the giant tiger is the king of all beasts, and just the aura it exudes can scare those weak beasts into panic, and they can flee as far as they want. Even though the tiger has died, the tiger is not invincible, and few beasts dare to devour its flesh and blood, this is the terrible thing about hierarchical suppression.
And in front of the spirit beast, no matter how fierce the beast is, it has to kneel!
Because the spirit beast is the advancement of the beast, and every spirit beast is the undisputed king in front of the beast.
Yes, after sensing the terrifying aura naturally emanating from the spirit beast in front of him, the giant tiger said that he didn't dare to go any further.
Shangguan Xiaoyao also knew that the giant tiger was just an ordinary beast after all, and he had a natural fear of spirit beasts, seeing that it didn't dare to go any further, he didn't bother to force it anymore, and jumped down from the giant tiger's back, waved at the giant tiger impatiently and said: "Forget it, don't embarrass you, hurry up and get out of here!"
The giant tiger was pardoned, and without saying a word, he turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiaoyao couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, then looked at the front that faintly exuded the aura of a spirit beast, and unfolded his body as fast as lightning and swept away.
In a moment, a huge python appeared in front of Shangguan Xiaoyao's eyes.
It was a silver-gray python with a waist as thick as a bucket, hovering there like a small hill, with a triangular head that was only slightly smaller than a water tank, and looked extremely hideous.
Level 3 Spirit Beast!
With just one glance, Shangguan Xiaoyao judged the true strength of this silver python spirit beast.
This is the strength between the triple and quadruple of martial arts qi refining, for ordinary beasts like giant tigers, third-level spirit beasts are naturally extremely terrifying existences, just the aura that emanates can scare their souls trembling, and they dare not have any thoughts of resistance. But for Shangguan Xiaoyao, who has reached the twelfth level of qi refining, it is nothing more than that, and he can kill it with a raised hand.
Therefore, in the face of the silver python spirit beast hovering there like a hill, Shangguan Xiaoyao did not have much interest, the reason why he followed the breath emitted by the silver python spirit beast to find it was because he knew that where the spirit beast was located, there would generally be elixir spirit fruit and the like, and that was what he was interested in.
Therefore, as soon as Shangguan Xiaoyao appeared in front of the silver python spirit beast, he just glanced at the silver python spirit beast, and then ignored its existence, looking for possible elixirs or spirit fruits around by himself.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Shangguan Xiaoyao found a very strange small tree.
It was strange because the little tree had only a main trunk and no branches, and if it weren't for a cyan fruit at the top of the trunk surrounded by nine diamond-shaped leaves of the same size, it would be no different from a stick stuck in the ground.
Just when Shangguan Xiaoyao's eyes lit up and looked at the cyan fruit, the silver python spirit beast that had been ignored by Shangguan Xiaoyao finally launched an attack, and its thick and long tail was like a leather whip magnified countless times, and it was whipped down from the sky fiercely. This is one of the three most terrifying killing moves of the silver python spirit beast, and the other two major killing moves are venom and strangulation.
However, in the face of such a terrifying killing move, Shangguan Xiaoyao only glanced at the silver python spirit beast lightly, and casually bent his fingers and flicked at the tail of the python that was whipped down......
"Shhhhh
A high cry came from the mouth of the silver python spirit beast, and the cry was full of pain and fear.
"While I'm in a good mood now, let's get out of here!" Shangguan Xiaoyao said to the silver python spirit beast with a faint smile on his face.
The reason why spirit animals are spirit animals is because they all possess spiritual intelligence, and their intelligence is not much worse than that of humans.
The silver python spirit beast looked at the tail of the python that was still bleeding, and then looked at the cyan fruit that was about to ripen, although it was very reluctant in its heart, but out of fear of Shangguan Yaoyao, it still did not hesitate to leave this treasure land that it had stayed for several years and had been snatched after a lot of fighting.
"It's really sleepy and sent a pillow!" Seeing the silver python spirit beast leave, Shangguan Xiaoyao looked at the cyan fruit again, and said with a good smile: "This time I decided to go deep into the mountains and forests, just to find the spirit fruit to help break through the Yuan Realm, one of the most important realms in a martial artist's cultivation career, I originally thought that it would take a lot of time to find it, and I may not be able to find it." But I don't want to just go deep into the mountains and forests less than a thousand miles, I don't have to bother to look for it, and I have achieved my goal perfectly.
"The Nine Leaves Pure Heart Fruit, a rare spiritual fruit that can make a martial artist's soul pure in a short period of time, is most suitable for martial artists in the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Refining to use when breaking through the Yuan Realm, and the effect is really known by whoever uses it. Shangguan Xiaoyao's eyes were full of confidence, and he said with a slightly excited tone: "With its assistance, coupled with the advantage of this monarch's rebirth, breaking through the Yuan Realm and condensing a first-grade seal should be nine out of ten." ”
