Half an hour later, by a stream, Shi Jiu sat on a rock, scooped some water with both hands, and washed his cheeks.

"Senior Sword Emperor, those two old guys won't follow, right?" Shi Jiu was still a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, the migration trap I arranged is not easy to break, it will take at least half an hour for them to explode, and I have eliminated your traces all the way, they can't find here." In this regard, the Great Red Sword Emperor is still very confident.

"Hey, it's a pity that it's a bit more expensive."

Although it got rid of the pursuers, it cost a lot of resources.

Although the Migration Trap Array arranged by the Great Red Sword Emperor was powerful, it could trap the powerhouse of the Central Realm for half an hour, but the cost was also extremely high, and the crystal element alone cost nearly a hundred, which made Shi Jiu feel a little distressed.

"Okay, don't be petty." The Great Red Sword Emperor also saw Shi Jiu's thoughts, "If you want to harvest, you must pay, you can find Jingyuan after it is gone, if your life is gone, no matter how much Jingyuan you have, it will be in vain." ”

"Senior, I understand what you have to say, and I just feel it a little, after all, there are a hundred crystals missing all of a sudden, and I am indeed a little reluctant in my heart."

Shi Jiu said what was in his heart, but he quickly swept away his previous reluctance, and then said confidently: "Huomeng, this beam is finished, and when you reach the secret realm of the dream, I will double your efforts to let you return it." ”

Through the previous reminder of Miss Yan'er in Fengbao Zhai, Shi Jiu knew that this halfway robbery of the Fire Fist Gate against him must be the instruction of Huo Meng, the young master of the Fire Fist Gate, because only he could invite the elders in the sect to deal with him.

"That's right, get up from where you fall, that's what the big husband does."

Regarding Shi Jiu's current performance, the Great Red Sword Emperor also affirmed it.

"There's no going back to the city, we have to find a place to settle down first." Shi Jiu looked around, the vicinity of this stream was not suitable for settling.

After resting for a while, Shi Jiu walked forward along the flowing water.

In the evening, in front of an uninhabited cave, a bonfire burns, and in the light of the fire, a smooth roasted whole deer spins on a stand.

"Well, it smells so good! Your kid's barbecue skills are getting better and better, and I can't help but drool. The Great Red Sword Emperor stared at the golden venison in the fire and couldn't help but praise.

"Senior Sword Emperor, in today's battle with the Fire Fist Sect's Elder Huoren, I can hardly even resist his blow, is there really such a big gap between me and the powerhouse of the Central Realm?" Shi Jiu's mind at this time was not on roasting venison at all, but drifted back to the previous battle with Elder Huoren.

"Don't be discouraged, you've done a good job, at least you haven't lost a single move, and you've passed three or four moves." The Great Red Sword Emperor encouraged, in his opinion, Shi Jiu's performance today was remarkable, at least in terms of momentum, he did not lose to the other party at all.

"Senior, I understand your comfort, and this fight also made me see the gap, and I know what I should do in the future." As he spoke, Shi Jiu cut off a piece of venison with a dagger, then put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Yes, defeat without loss, shame and courage, clear your future direction, little guy, your heart and will are really great!" The Great Red Sword Emperor was very satisfied with Shi Jiu's words, and he also believed that Shi Jiu would also do what he said.

"Actually, if you dare to fight against a powerhouse in the Central Realm, you have already won on another level, even if you lose, it's nothing, after all, the gap is there."

In this regard, the Great Red Sword Emperor admired Shi Jiu's courage very much.

"Well, I didn't plan to win, I just wanted to weigh the difference in strength between the two sides, of course, the reality is cruel." Speaking of this, Shi Jiu also has a deep understanding that only by personally fighting with the powerhouses of the Central Realm can he know where the gap is.

"It seems that I have to give you some science."

Although Shi Jiu's courage was commendable, he really didn't know much about the cultivation realm, otherwise he wouldn't want to fight with the powerhouses of the Central Realm.

"In the Seven Realms of the Soul Realm, there is actually a watershed, do you know which one it is?" The Great Red Sword Emperor asked with a smile.

"Since it is a watershed, it shows that there is a huge gap between the top and bottom...... Is it the Nexus? Shi Jiu gave his own answer, but he was not very sure.

However, the next words of the Great Red Sword Emperor confirmed Shi Jiu's conjecture.

"That's right, it's the Nexus!" The Great Red Sword Emperor affirmed.

"You have cultivated the Soul Mountain Scripture and know the seven spirits of the human body, so you should also know which parts of the human body the seven spirits correspond to, right?"

"I know this, first of all, the most basic heroic realm, corresponding to the human body's dantian, then the essence realm, corresponding to the human kidneys, the qi realm corresponds to the human body's chest and lungs, the strength realm corresponds to the human limbs, and then the central realm corresponds to the human body's heart......" The Lushan Dictionary is the first exercise book that Shi Jiu obtained, and the content in it has long been familiar with it, so after the Great Red Sword Emperor asked, Shi Jiu answered without thinking.

"Well, that's a good answer."

The Great Red Sword Emperor nodded, "The central realm corresponds to the heart of the human body, and the heart is the most important organ of the human body and the source of strength. A lively and powerful heart can provide people with a steady stream of motivation and stimulate their own potential, so the central realm is a key link in the sevenfold connection between the upper and lower levels. ”

"I didn't expect the Central Realm to be so important!" Shi Jiu nodded as if he had realized something.

"You are in the Qi Realm now, how much strength can you muster?" The Great Red Sword Emperor asked again.

"Probably less than two thousand pounds." Shi Jiu replied truthfully, although he had not measured it with an instrument, it was not bad.

"Yes, with the strength of your Qi Realm in the early stage, it is already very remarkable to be able to have a strength of two thousand catties. Normally, the strength of the Qi Spirit Realm is about one or two thousand catties, and it may not even be a thousand catties at the beginning. The Great Red Sword Emperor nodded, very satisfied with Shi Jiu's current strength.

"The strength realm is about five or six thousand catties, and when it reaches the central realm, it suddenly rises to fifty or sixty thousand catties." The Great Red Sword Emperor gave the strength of the Central Realm.

"What? Ten times all at once? Shi Jiu was also taken aback, he didn't expect that from the Strength Realm to the Central Realm, the span of strength improvement would be so large.

"That's why, I said that the Central Realm is the watershed in the Seven Realms of the Spirit Realm, and if you go up to the Spirit Wisdom Realm, the increase in strength is also tenfold." The Great Red Sword Emperor looked at Shi Jiu, and then said, "This is also the reason why you dared to fight with a Central Realm powerhouse before, and I admire it very much." ”

After speaking, the Great Red Sword Emperor smiled.

At this moment, Shi Jiu's heart was shocked. From this point of view, he dared to fight with Elder Huoren before, and he really had the childishness of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

"You don't have to be surprised, daring to fight with a powerhouse in the Central Realm is in itself a manifestation of your strong will and firm confidence, which is very important, especially for you to step into the soul realm in the future."

"Oh? Are you sure? The words of the Great Red Sword Emperor seemed to have opened a window in Shi Jiu's heart.

"Well, for ordinary people, it is already extremely difficult to cultivate to the seventh level of the soul realm, and it is almost impossible to enter the higher level of the soul realm, the heavenly tribulation alone has blocked nine out of nine strong people, so if you want to successfully survive the heavenly tribulation and enter the soul realm, in addition to your own strength must be strong enough, your own experience, will, self-confidence, and even luck must be strong enough, which is the slightest possibility."

It turned out that if you wanted to enter the soul realm, you needed to cross the heavenly tribulation, no wonder Tianyou County didn't even have a soul realm, even the strongest of the Cangtian Sword Sect and the Dark Heaven Pavilion were only at the peak of the soul realm.

"In addition, the lowest definition of a strong person in the entire underworld is the central realm." The Great Red Sword Emperor added another sentence.

Shi Jiu nodded, at this moment, he thought of a lot.

Seeing that Shi Jiu was calm, the Great Red Sword Emperor comforted: "Telling you this, I also want to tell you in advance, so that you can be prepared from now on, and you will have all the mental preparations when you cross the tribulation in the future." ”

At the next moment after the Great Red Sword Emperor finished speaking, Shi Jiu raised his head, his originally calm eyes were shining at the moment, and at the same time, the whole person was also refreshed and full of energy.

"Senior, don't worry, I remember your words, the catastrophe will not defeat me, and I will definitely reach the soul realm!" Shi Jiu's words were unusually firm at this moment.

"Haha, I really didn't see the wrong person, I just need your fearless courage!" At this moment, the Great Red Sword Emperor also smiled happily.

"You know what? At this moment, I want to wait until you finish the tribulation before leaving, as if looking at the appearance of your tribulation, that scene should be spectacular, right? The Great Red Sword Emperor's face showed a hint of anticipation.

"That Sword Emperor senior, you just wait for me to ......" Before Shi Jiu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Great Red Sword Emperor.

"No way, I understand my own situation. I don't have much time, at most I'll accompany you through the Cloud Mountains, and then ......"

The expression of the Great Red Sword Emperor's original expectation was a little more declining.

Shi Jiu didn't gnaw again, but he told himself in his heart that one day he would resurrect the Great Red Sword Emperor, and his kindness could not be forgotten!

"Okay, let's not talk about that, change the subject." Soon, the Great Red Sword Emperor changed back to a relaxed expression.

"I have a request for you." The Great Red Sword Emperor whispered.

"Seniors, please say, juniors will definitely fulfill your entrustment!"

Shi Jiu's sonorous and powerful answer made the Great Red Sword Emperor smile with satisfaction.

"When you reach the peak of the Strength Realm, don't rush to break through to the Central Realm."

"Oh? Why? Shi Jiu didn't understand.

"I hope you can polish yourself to the point where you can't advance in the Strength Realm, so that when you break through to the Central Realm, there will be a great chance of attracting the Heavenly Tribulation." The Great Red Sword Emperor spoke his mind.

But the next moment, Shi Jiu's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise.

"Apocalypse? You let me break through the Nexus Realm to cross the Tribulation? "Shi Jiu didn't expect that the Great Red Sword Emperor would want to let him survive the Heavenly Tribulation in advance.

"Well, that's right."

"Why? Do you want me to be killed by lightning in advance? Shi Jiu was shocked, he never expected that the predecessor of the Sword Emperor would actually ask for this.

"Don't be surprised, I have a reason for doing this." The Great Red Sword Emperor knew what Shi Jiu thought, so he took the initiative to explain.

"Under normal circumstances, there is indeed no Heavenly Tribulation in the Seven Realms of the Spiritual Realm, but there are exceptions to everything, as I said before, the Central Realm is the watershed of the Seven Realms of the Spiritual Realm, and it is an extremely important link, so under certain circumstances, one's own strength and quality in all aspects can trigger the Heavenly Tribulation under certain conditions."

"So you're going to let me get through the catastrophe early?" Shi Jiu was still surprised.

"Listen to me." The Great Red Sword Emperor glanced at Shi Jiu, "Although the Heavenly Tribulation is terrifying, it will kill people, but it is also an opportunity, as long as you can carry it, then the benefits obtained are also extremely objective, the transformation and improvement of the body by the Heavenly Tribulation alone is no worse than the top body refining exercises, and there are no side effects, in addition, it can also eliminate the impurities in the body as much as possible, in short, there are many benefits to surviving the Heavenly Tribulation." ”

"Really?" Shi Jiu couldn't believe it.

"Nonsense, did I lie to you?" The Great Red Sword Emperor glanced at Shi Jiu again.

"Didn't you say you wanted to become a soul realm powerhouse? Then your foundation must be solid and solid, and you must improve in all aspects, and crossing the heavenly tribulation is one of the most effective ways to improve yourself. I remember what I mentioned to you about a peerless man from my time. ”

"Of course I remember, a generation of peerless powerhouses - Emperor Shi, right?" Of course, Shi Jiu remembered that after the Great Red Sword Emperor talked about this person, Shi Jiu swore in his heart that he wanted to become an existence comparable to the other party, or even stronger.

"That's right, he survived the Heavenly Tribulation when he broke through the Central Realm back then, which also laid the foundation for his future achievements." The Great Red Sword Emperor broke the news, believing that Shi Jiu would be stimulated.

Sure enough, it worked.

"Then there's nothing to say, I'm going to cross this catastrophe!" Shi Jiu suddenly came to the spirit, and directly spoke proudly.

"Okay, that's right!" The Great Red Sword Emperor smiled and nodded, and at the same time, his heart also smiled.

"Sure enough, only when there is comparison can there be superiority, and the motivation to move forward will be full."
