Chapter 225: The New King of Oran
Ji Xun looked at the old man in front of him who suddenly leaked domineeringly, and his heart was surging.
It was as if I had seen a humanoid dragon, and the pressure of the high-level creature had solidified the air into a colloid, making it difficult for people to breathe.
In a sense, this is no longer a human category.
Rather, it is a "demigod".
Legend has it that those demigods who can slaughter gods and demons and have the power of gods and demons.
This coercion is real.
"This realm really exists!"
While Ji Xun looked shocked, he also inexplicably felt a great awe in his heart.
Isn't he amazed at the coercion of such high-ranking creatures that he has seen many times,
Rather, it was shocked to feel this coercion on a human being!
When talking to Master Merlin before, Ji Xun also heard about this civilization-level bottleneck that had plagued the card master for thousands of years.
The sixth order is the current upper limit of card masters.
This bottleneck locked the entire card master civilization.
Even a few legendary powerhouses who can comprehend the realm still can't break through this boundary.
Countless ancestors have groped on this road, but they have not found a way to break through.
But now, it's different.
Ji Xun looked at the old man in front of him, and his heart instantly looked forward to it.
It's not just about being horrific in terms of combat power.
It's of great significance to the entire card master civilization!
It's like a dark sea, a lighthouse that has been silent for thousands of years suddenly lights up.
A pioneer who sailed in the darkness finally lit this beacon that illuminates civilization.
It guided the ships that came after them to avoid the reef, avoid the undercurrents, and find the right direction to sail.
Since I plan to teach seriously.
The learner said that he wanted to see it, and Gong Wu showed it.
The two were very close, and the bad old man was obviously black-bellied again, probably to impress Ji Xun, and the aura of the top powerhouse was instantly filled.
When Ji came back to his senses, he didn't realize that he was already in a cold sweat.
The existence of this level, even if you look at it, has already gone through the line of life and death.
But the old man looked at Ji Xun's expression, as if he didn't see the effect he wanted, as if to say: Why aren't you particularly shocked?
Ji Xun looked at the corner of his eyes and glanced at the old man.
If he hadn't seen Long Wei and Shenwei, maybe today's scene would really make his jaw drop.
It's a pity that I've seen it for a long time.
Gong Wu pondered for a moment, understood something, put away the high-level coercion and asked, "Have you seen it before?" ”
"Hmm."
Ji Xun suddenly felt that the pressure of carrying the mountain on his back was gone, and he could dismantle the stage and say, "I have seen a dragonborn creature in a different dimensional space. And."
As he spoke, he pointed to the mural on the rock wall, and said quietly, "And some of the stumps of the weeping angel." ”
I really saw it.
Gong Wu suddenly caught something, and said in a strange tone: "Have you ever seen an angel?" ”
He's been looking at this mural for years,
Has anyone actually seen the real thing?
Ji Xun obviously knew why he asked that.
It's like a guy in the mountains going into the city and asking what year it is.
The old man had been in retreat for too long.
He said simply, "Yes." The guys of the Silver Moon Sect wanted to unseal the old god, and then they made some noise. In short, the situation in the Commonwealth as a whole and in the Old Continent has changed very much now. ”
When Gong Wu heard this explanation, he understood what was happening.
At the same time, he also muttered to himself: "I have been in retreat for a few years, and the outside has changed so much." ”
But there wasn't much interest.
No changes in the outside world were attractive to him, a lonely old man who pursued the supreme realm of martial arts.
He is not interested in who is the king or who is the parliamentarian.
Ji Xun looked at the old man's expression, and knew that he was not enjoying it, so he still asked very popularly: "Senior, this is the 'fist intent' you comprehended?" ”
The demolition is real.
Admiration also comes from the bottom of my heart.
It's normal for mythical creatures to have that high level of coercion.
It is an epoch-making state that he can reach this state as a human being.
This is not something that needs to be pretended.
It's that the old man himself is already very, very remarkable.
Ji Xun actually wanted to ask, how is there such a big difference between the "meaning" that the old man showed just now and the "meaning" of being others?
The effect was not full, and the old man was obviously not as interested as before, but he also explained: "So to speak. But not quite. It's something of a higher level. ”
He seemed to want Ji Xun to understand more clearly, and after pausing for a moment before he said: "Since you have seen the dragon descendant, then you should have learned the dragon power, in fact, this is the consciousness manifestation of a high-level creature. Biting the word, it can be called 'human power'. But there's another name I like – Kamui. Human beings can wield the power of the gods, and they also have the power of the gods. ”
Ji Xun frowned when he listened, but he still didn't understand.
But he also wanted to confirm the myths and legends, so he said: "Senior, this is the legendary 'Demigod Realm'?" ”
"This"
The old man also muttered slightly.
He had just comprehended this thing.
After all, this is a field that has not been touched by anyone in the card master world for more than 2,000 years, and it is not clear how to explain it in a few words.
If it weren't for Ji Xun's intrusion and awakening, he might have retreated for a period of time to continue to comprehend.
Thinking of something, his eyes swept over the infinite depth, and he only said, "When you really reach this realm, you will find out. It's a very different height. In a sense, I'm already a 'demigod'. ”
Ji Xun knew that this was a level that he couldn't understand for the time being, so he asked a simple and curious question: "Does this 'Shenwei' have any specific effect?" ”
"Effect?"
Of course Miyatake knows.
He had now truly felt the reason why the ancestors who had broken through the threshold of the seventh order in the past were 100% distorted.
But it's hard to describe how it feels.
He thought for a moment, and reluctantly organized some words: "When you reach this realm, you can obviously feel the cognitive difference brought about by the elevation of the life level. Of course, the specific performance in biology can be said to be the unlocking of the gene chain, what bloodline atavism and so on. I don't know these words. I heard it when I was talking to Merlin before. If you're interested, you can ask that guy later."
“.”
Ji Xun listened thoughtfully.
I didn't understand it, but I caught some key words.
He remembered his first-order fusion [Beastwalker] career card, and Master Merlin said that it was a small experiment for him to do the bloodline atavistic experiment?
These things are a bit empty to say, and Gong Wu knows that Ji Xun's rank must not be understood.
And he also knew that what Ji Xun wanted to ask just now was about the role of combat power.
Thinking of this, the old man's expression concealed a hint of ridicule: "However, there is another very powerful effect." Would you like to try it? ”
Ji Xun looked at the expression of this bad old man, and knew that this guy must not be at ease, and he was afraid that he was thinking about doing something tricky again.
But he was really too curious, and he nodded seriously: "Hmm! ”
When the old man heard what he said, he raised his eyebrows: "Okay, you prepare for defense, I'll let you see it." ”
Ji Xun didn't dare to be careless, and turned into a werewolf body, the curse marks all over his body instantly condensed, and his skin also showed a bronze metallic luster.
It has entered the strongest defense state.
The old man looked at him ready, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he appeared in front of Ji Xun in an instant.
Immediately, Ji Xun felt the feeling of "divine might" coming to his face.
But it has been extremely restrained, and the coercion is very light.
Then the old man stretched out a finger and flicked it.
But this understatement is like the sound of an artillery bomb.
"Bump".
Ji Xun felt that his brain was roaring and exploding, and the whole person flew out.
It was a feeling as if the soul had been beaten out of the body.
During the time between flying upside down and landing on the ground, Ji Xun obviously felt a feeling that he was almost out of his body and out of control.
The mind moves, but the body loses control completely.
What's going on?
This is an experience that Ji Xun has never had.
The beating was expected.
But don't beat it, but it's not clear.
That feeling
He felt like a knight in full armor on an oil painting, ready to defend himself and ready to attack.
However, at this moment, a finger from outside the painting directly punctured the drawing paper.
The overlord and the spell were like a thin layer of paint, which broke in an instant.
This is not a one-dimensional attack at all!
This is "Kamui"?
It's so strong!
It's outrageous.
Ji Xun was immersed in that eye-opening state.
This moment seemed to slow down countless times, but it still felt fleeting.
The soul returns to the body, and a sharp pain in the forehead hits!
This kind of pain is like being beaten when I was a child, and the pain makes people's souls twitch.
Even Ji Xun's pain tolerance now gasped: "Hiss"
He covered his forehead, and clearly felt a large bag of spring shoots pop up.
It was round and swollen, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
Ji Xun looked at the gloating old man opposite, and complained: This guy really didn't have a good heart.
The old man looked at it and smiled.
It seems that I am very satisfied with the embarrassment of this guy who has learned most of his life in a month or two.
But laughing back at home, he didn't forget to remind: "Remember how you felt just now." ”
“.”
Ji Xun's temples twitched in pain, but because of the pain, his impression deepened.
In an instant, he understood what the old man wanted him to remember.
The "out-of-body" feeling just now felt as if someone had taken me to another dimension to see it.
At least at that moment, I felt the concept of "outside the picture"!
It was an angle he had never seen before.
It's like a lighthouse on a dark sea!
Although that ray of light is still very, very far away, as long as you sail to that sea, you can see the lighthouse.
This great qigong master showed him a smooth path to the peak of martial arts.
"I see."
Ji Xun took a deep breath.
How do I not know that this old man gave himself a big gift that I am afraid that countless top card masters will blush.
He put away the expression on his face, bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "Thank you seniors for your advice." ”
The old man shook his head, looking disappreciative: "Your rank is too low now, and I can't tell you more." Let's think about it. When you comprehend your 'meaning', then you will know why you are suffering this today. ”
Saying that, this guy didn't forget to gloat and said: "Ah, I haven't done it for a long time, the strength seems to be a little bigger, the bag on your forehead seems to be a little big, why don't you put on some medicine first?" ”
“.”
Hearing this words, although Ji Xun knew that he had benefited, he was still a little resentful.
The burning pain in his forehead was still fermenting at the moment, and he gasped again, and then he suppressed it.
He was sure that the old man could have taught this concept in other ways, but he chose this most inhumane way.
The bad old man's expression seemed to say: You can't miss the hardships I have suffered.
Since he was beaten, Ji Xun also felt that he should dig up more good things.
Bringing up this topic again, he simply asked directly: "Senior, how can you comprehend your 'meaning'?" ”
The old man listened, and casually said a word that had been said many times: "Enlightenment." ”
“.”
Ji Xun rolled his eyes.
Of course he knew it was to comprehend.
That's what is said in countless card master classics.
When I asked it, I just wanted to express if there was a shortcut for a person like you who had already comprehended the power of God.
It's like just going down, tapping on the forehead makes people understand a little.
Even if he was beaten again, Ji Xun felt that if he could comprehend his fist intent, it would be worth it.
The old man naturally understood, and said: "Martial arts can be learned, and they can be quickly achieved through skill cards." But the realm is to be realized. ”
Ji Xun glanced at him again: You can't help it?
It's just another place, but there are a lot of people who have comprehended the "meaning" in this mine.
It's like those aberrant miners on the fifth or sixth floor of the mine have more or less comprehended it.
There shouldn't be no shortcuts.
Looking at Ji Xun's eyes, Gong Wu also guessed what he was thinking, and directly rejected his idea: "Don't look at the residual spiritual pollution here that contains some fragmented ancient battle intent. But that's someone else's, not yours. Laws, exercises, martial arts routines or something, you can follow the path that others have walked and imitate and learn. Only the 'will' is your own, and that is the attribute of your soul. The soul is full of other people's things, like a stinky ditch where any kind of water can gather, do you think it will be polluted? ”
As he spoke, the old man said lazily: "So even if you stay here all your life and can comprehend a hundred or a thousand other people's war intentions, you may not be able to comprehend your own intentions." Instead, those fragments will make you lose your mind, like those aberrant miners, and eventually go crazy. ”
“.”
Ji Xun was also a little helpless when he heard it.
This was originally a shortcut he thought of, but after trying it before, he felt that it was very rewarding.
It turned out that the road was wrong.
The old man didn't remind him before, probably waiting for the number to fall now.
Gong Wu continued: "And I can tell you very clearly that only when you comprehend the 'meaning' can you truly understand what life is. And the essence of 'Kamui', in fact, is to recognize where one's soul is. I can't explain it to you too clearly, you can understand as much as you can."
“.”
Ji Xun is naturally convinced.
He is also glad to have the guidance of this senior, so that he can avoid too many detours.
However, just when he thought that his problem was fruitless, the old man changed his words, "But if you want to say that there is a shortcut. Actually, there really is. ”
Ji Xun immediately cast a gaze that listened intently: "Oh? ”
The old man didn't know what he thought, and said quietly: "The heart is not dead, and the mind is not born." ”
Ji Xun pondered this sentence and showed doubts: "??? ”
The old man explained: "It's not just that I am not afraid of life and death. There is also an emotional perception of other people, of all things, of the whole world. When your original state of mind has undergone drastic changes, and some kind of fixed cognition has collapsed, you will recognize yourself. In that state, it is very easy to comprehend some of your own meaning. ”
After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "However, I think this shortcut, most people are not willing to take this shortcut." That's how teachers used to teach. It's a pity that I didn't understand it at the time, and I thought "
At this point, it came to an abrupt end.
The old man took a sip of his sullen wine.
“.”
Ji Xun heard this sudden melancholy tone, and then looked at the smile that quietly restrained, and guessed that this young man was afraid that he had experienced "heart death".
It's a few more days.
Ji Xun's progress in learning is very fast.
In just two months, he learned that it may take others more than half a lifetime to comprehend the mysteries of martial arts.
Although most of what he has learned now is still the foundation of a qigong master, he also enjoys it.
The master led the way through the door, guiding the way like a lighthouse, and he went on his own.
Ji Xun no longer clings to the martial arts and tricks he once pursued.
Rather, the daily practice is to catch birds and practice qi control.
Then learn a few of your own magic mysteries and read the classics.
Focused and efficient.
There are new changes every day.
Then there is the time every day to go to the seventh floor of the mine at a fixed time, have a meal with that old-timer, and learn something new.
this day.
Ji Xun came to the seventh floor as usual.
Now he can spend more than half an hour in this highly polluted environment.
One old and one young, as usual, sat around the food, eating and drinking.
Ji Xun also asked new questions he encountered.
It's not just about qigong, it's about other mystical methods.
The vision of this senior can often give him guidance for enlightenment.
Gong Wu said as he drank his wine.
"Normally, if you want to have an in-depth understanding of the Fifty-two Demon Mystic Methods, you must have enough knowledge of the power and laws of the Demon God of that sequence. But you kid is an exception. I've observed that your profession is very special, and you have a very strong affinity and fit for any magic mystic method. It seems to be miscellaneous but not refined, but in fact, everything can be specialized. Your path is bound to be difficult. But if I get through, it's hard for me to imagine how high that road will go."
He now has no idea of persuading Ji Xun's career sequence at all.
The more I understand, the clearer I perceive that my current vision can't see through this [JOKER] sequence.
But Gong Wu didn't bother much.
The world hides too many secrets.
It's just that less than half of the fifty-two sequences of the card master are still left.
The higher you stand, the more you feel small.
All human beings can see now is the skin of this world.
"I have traveled almost the entire Eastern Continent, to the calamity-ridden 'Shadow Rift', to the 'Hejal Hell Volcano', to the 'Lake of Death', and to the World Rift to descend 10,000 meters. A narrow escape. While I pursued martial arts, I also spied into countless secrets hidden in history. But the more I have seen some of the so-called big worlds, the more I feel that the power of human beings is too small in front of this world."
"And when I realized 'Shenwei', I had a new understanding of the world, which was a completely different level of cognition. Let's try to get stronger. The view from above, better than you think. I can't describe it, only if you see it with your own eyes, and my current realm, you can see that there are more expansive peaks above my head."
“.”
After this old-timer drank too much, he was like an ordinary old man, and he talked a lot.
But Ji Xun also likes to listen.
The old man disappeared for eighty years.
But in his life, it is really legendary.
The stories he tells are landscapes that countless people have never been exposed to in their lifetimes.
Of course, this sassy old man occasionally blows a few cowhides, such as "When I was young, I was handsome and compelling, and countless girls dreamed of marrying me."
The two drank and chatted like this.
No one can disturb this underground.
Today, however, there were some uninvited guests.
Suddenly, Gong Wu, who had the wine bottles raised to his lips, looked awkward: "Someone is coming!" ”
Ji Xun was fascinated by the story, and was surprised when he heard this: Someone is coming?
The miners on the seventh floor of this mine will definitely not come, and the distortion monsters will not come, who will come?
Gong Wu's perception was much stronger than Ji Xun's, he seemed to have discovered something, and said with a serious expression: "The person who came is not weak." Put it away first. ”
Ji Xun immediately understood and put away all the wine and food.
The old man waved his hand, and the smell around him, which had been controlled in a small range, was instantly gone.
The two jumped onto the rock wall and hid behind a large, inconspicuous rock.
Ji Xun looked at the intersection in the distance, and was also curious about who could come here.
After waiting for a long time, a group of six people walked in.
The five of them wore a special gold-patterned black-bottomed cloak, with a silver-haired young man wearing a crown of iron thorns in the middle.
This young man did not hide his face, he was very handsome, and people could see at a glance the atmosphere of a superior who was not angry and arrogant.
Ji Xun looked at the silver hair and the luxurious golden silk robe, and immediately guessed the identity of this person: "The new king of Orlan? ”
This Shangbang prison is the property of the Golden Oak Security Company, and behind it is the Orlan royal family.
With such a big treasure trove, it is normal for this "mine owner" to come and inspect it.
However, Ji Xun looked at the phantom of the demon god who also wore a crown rising behind the young king, and his eyes shrank slightly: "It turns out that this guy has successfully fused the [K of Spades-Tyrant] epic source card." ”
The calculation time is about the same.
Before, I was in the Lion City lane that enchantment to absorb fear, and it was normal to be able to fuse this source card.
Moreover, this [tyrant] sequence is said to master the two high-level laws of kingship + fear, and there are some treasures, which can resist the pollution in this mine.
However, when Ji Xun saw the crown on the head of the silver-haired young man, he felt inexplicably familiar.
Look up again at the rock face.
Isn't this the crown on the head of the royal family protected by the weeping angel on the mural?
On the other side, Gong Wu also recognized the crown and wondered: "Hey, it's strange, why did that old guy Merlin give this guy the 'King's Key'?" ”
Ji Xun cast a curious gaze when he listened, he seemed to have heard this word somewhere.
Gong Wu understood his eyes.
The old man didn't look like anyone else was talking and hiding, and blurted out, "It's the crown on that kid's head." This is the King's Key. Originally, there were five pieces. One piece was kept in the possession of Old Man Merlin. I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of this kid."
Ji Xun asked, "Senior, what is the king's key?" ”
Gong Wu glanced at Ji Xun, and seemed to feel that this topic was very sensitive, but he already had enough trust, and he said directly: "This is the biggest secret of Innocence City." ”
“???”
When Ji Xun heard this, he was even more curious.
The old man added, "When we first discovered the City of Innocence, we stumbled upon a rope to the Old World. The incantation wire is an artifact in its own right. And this crown is the key to controlling the iron rope. You can also see the meaning of the old road, and later in order to prevent someone from monopolizing the key, it was divided into several pieces. I don't know about anyone else's, but I'm sure Merlin has a piece there. Moreover, he will never give it to others easily. ”
As he spoke, he said to himself, "It's strange, that old fellow Merlin, though he spends his days tinkering with his strange research, is very tricky. If you want to snatch it from that guy, few people in the entire federation can do it. And now it's been given to these Orlan remnants? ”
So that's what the wire was.
Ji Xun felt as if he had heard some high-end secrets.
At the same time, he was slightly surprised.
Although he knew that Master Merlin should be strong.
But after all, he is a card maker.
But now, can he even evaluate "very tricky" in the mouth of this veteran at the peak of martial arts?
How strong is that?
However, Ji Xun is not very interested in what kingdom keys.
After all, he had seen that those Orlan remnants had too many high-end secrets in their hands.
He was even more curious, what are these people doing here?
Seeing those people walking towards the bottomless pit in the center of the mine, Ji Xun was also curious: "Senior, what is in this deep pit?" ”
The old man shook his head, and said in an uncertain tone: "About two hundred meters down, there is an obelisk tablet. But the pollution there is beyond my reach, and I don't know what is written on it. Further down there is still no bottom, and I don't know what's underneath. ”
Ji Xun listened and expressed understanding.
If the pollution in this mine is like air, then the pollution in the pit is completely a pool of black water.
You can't see it, let alone go down.
However, listening to the "stone tablet", Ji Xun thought of the underground palace in the ruins of Xia Mucheng.
At that time, there was also such a stone stele?
This kind of stele seems to be the fixed standard of some kind of super-level seal?
Could it be that this is also some remnant of a sealed angel?
Thinking of this, Ji Xun vaguely guessed what those guys were doing.
And at this time, Gong Wu once again said an amazing thing: "However, more than half a year ago, these guys have already been here once. Last time, they fished out a 'black coffin' here. ”
"Coffin?"
When Ji Xun heard this, he blinked.
He's all too familiar.
In the ruins of Xia Mu City before, those Orlan remnants went to contain the angel's remains, didn't they just psychic out of a black coffin?
And Nanjing also said that when the old king of Orlan was about to die, someone also moved a mysterious black coffin into the palace.
Now that I look at it, it seems to be the one that was fished out of here?
So I guessed correctly, is there really a piece of angelic body in this pit?
