Chapter 14: The Secrets of the Continent
"What...... What? ...... you? Do you mean that I skipped the early stage of the second order and was directly promoted to the middle stage?How is this possible?" At this time, Gurung's heart was more surprised than joyful, but he was relieved when he thought of the danger in the previous breakthrough process, after all, the effort and reward along the way of cultivation were directly proportional.
"Hehe, that's natural, your cross-step breakthrough seems to be accidental, but in fact, you have already laid a good foundation for this as early as when you were in the first order. ”
The old man said with a smile, and then took out a purple fruit out of nowhere, threw it to Gurung, and then said: "Ordinary people cultivate to the late stage of the first order, and directly attract the power of the elements into the body, when the skin and flesh are assimilated by the power of the elements, step into the early stage of the second order, and use the power of the elements in the skin and flesh to rub and vibrate with each other, and transmit it to the muscles and bones to achieve the effect of strengthening. ”
"And you, because you can't feel the power of the elements, hone your flesh and skin more hard, so in the process, your muscles and bones have also been indirectly strengthened. ”
"I see...... Gurung suddenly realized, subconsciously took the fruit thrown by the old man, and took a bite directly, the crispy flesh turned into a wisp of sweetness and flowed into the hungry belly, but it was just ......
"It smells weird, it seems to have a rancid taste......" Gurung muttered to himself.
I could vaguely see two blush rising from the old man's dirty face, and without a trace, he hid his hands behind his back and wiped them fiercely on the dirty robe......
"I don't know what the origin of this pendant is...... Gu Long gently stroked his chest, and secretly thought to himself, a simple pendant, without any powerful fluctuations, actually made his elemental talent instantly improve a lot, why did he have a feeling of blood connection with himself?
"Stinky boy, do you want to know the reason why you couldn't break through before?" the old man asked.
"How do you know that I haven't been able to break through? Could it be that you have been monitoring me?" Gurung's heart was cold, and he stared at the old man with a defensive face, being watched by such a strange strange person, who else would feel uncomfortable.
The old man laughed twice, and without answering the question directly, he said, "Have you ever heard of the insulator?"
"You say I'm an insulator?"
Gurung's eyes widened and he asked loudly in disbelief.
The old man shook his head slightly: "No, although your situation is similar to that of the insulators, it is different from them after all. ”
"Similar, different?" Gurung was even more puzzled.
Nodding, the old man raised his face, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, caught up in the memory.
"The origin of the insulator has to start with the battle of the destruction of the world 10,000 years ago......"
The war of annihilation lasted for a hundred years, and the cause of the war is no longer known, and even the oldest documents only record the fall of millions of powerful men at that time, and nothing else is mentioned. To this day, this secret is still taboo on the entire continent. In the past hundred years, there has been no shortage of the strongest people in the continent who have taken action one after another, and it is really the so-called collapse of the heavens and the earth, and the shattering of mountains and rivers! It was not until the supreme of one of the sides of the great war made a shocking blow that split the entire continent into two, triggering natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, and the major races were almost wiped out, and this war of annihilation finally came to an end. As a result, the pattern of the continent has changed dramatically.
After the end of the war, some of the surviving powerhouses suddenly disappeared, some said that they had blocked their contact with the outside world and made their own, while others said that they had been secretly wiped out by the strongest.
The end of one era means the rise of another. In order to maintain the stability and balance of the continent and avoid the tragedy of the war of annihilation from breaking out again, the nine surviving supreme powerhouses worked together to open up a realm, called the Heavenly Realm, where all cultivators on the continent whose own strength reached the ninth order would touch the law and shatter the void and fly to the heavenly realm. And because these nine powerhouses overdrew all their vitality, their souls turned into the nine elemental laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness, and dissipated between heaven and earth......
After more than 1,000 years of recuperation, the mainland regained its vitality, and the nine academies known as the holy land of cultivation in the mainland were born. At this point, the Guiyuan Continent has opened a new era.
Gurung remembered the record of this battle of destruction in the "History of Guiyuan", but there was no introduction to the insulator on it.
"Hey, hey. The old man sneered disdainfully, as if he had guessed what Gurung was thinking, and then said: "There is no way to be exquisite, is it really impossible to be exquisite? At that time, the two sides involved in the war came from the two camps of the native human beings on the mainland, one of which had a very small number of strong people, but the individual strength was outstanding, while the other side, although the individual strength of the strong was slightly inferior to the former, but the victory was huge, plus some of them had a magical ability, which could attach some powerful attributes to weapons and equipment, and naturally won the final victory in the battle of annihilation. And this organization composed of these people with magical abilities is the predecessor of the Enchanter's Guild, which now surpasses the Nine Academies. ”
Each enchanter has a transcendent status on the Guiyuan Continent, and they have the most unique understanding of the power of the elements, by grinding some special elemental materials into powder and carving them on weapons or equipment, the different special effects produced can allow the warriors who use them to improve their strength. The amount of improvement depends on the level of the enchanter and the elemental material, the higher the level, the greater the increase. Enchanters are classified as Normal, Excellent, Fine, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. If you want to become an enchanter, the elemental talent must reach the rare level or above to have hope, and it is only "hopeful", so the enchanters on the continent are very rare, and almost every power will be proud to gain the favor of an enchanter.
"After the losers disappeared, the victors began to crowd out the insulated humans on the continent, and some of them even went so far as to treat them in extreme ways such as killing and imprisoning. ”
"Since the Insulators can't cultivate, what exactly are they doing this for?" Gurung asked suspiciously.
"No, the insulators just can't choose the existing cultivation system to cultivate, as far as I know, in the defeated camp, all the strong ones are this kind of insulating physique!"
"Shhh
"That'...... Does that mean...... Am I a descendant of the group of powerhouses that disappeared?, is it not suitable to choose the existing cultivation system?" Gurung became more and more confused, if the old man really knew his own background, then he should stop himself from continuing to break through, but not only did he not do this, but he also indirectly helped himself.
The old man shook his head again, and said indifferently: "No, it's not what you think, the human beings on the entire Guiyuan Continent may have insulators, and the potential force that disappeared before is just a powerful force that gathers most of the insulators on the continent, and there is no blood relationship between them." ”
Slightly relieved, Gurung continued to ask, "So I'm not an insulator?"
"Yes, you are not an insulator, you do not feel the power of the elements, and for another reason, unlike them. At this, the old man suddenly stopped, as if organizing his own language.
"What is the reason?" asked Gurung eagerly.
The old man pondered for a while, and when Gurung was about to get impatient, he finally spoke: "There are some things, it is not good for you to know too much, but it will harm you, I can only tell you that the strongest blow in the war of destruction of the world shattered the continent's "source of power" and turned it into the power of life, the power of death, the power of time, the power of space, the power of reincarnation, the power of destruction, the power of protection, The power of creation and the power of balance are the nine origin fragments, two of these origin fragments were suppressed somewhere on the continent, and the remaining seven pieces were also consumed due to the opening of the heavenly realm, and together with the other nine old guys, they turned into the current nine elemental powers. The original cultivation method lost the support of the origin of power, and only then did the current cultivation system appear. ”
"What does this have to do with my lack of feeling the power of the elements?" Gurung asked confusedly, indeed, these theories of the old man were too profound, and for him whose realm was only the second order, it was completely beyond his own level to understand.
"Because in your soul, there is an extremely special 'being' that shields you from the perception of the power of the elements of the outside world!"
