Chapter 281: The Second Round Begins
"There are usually two interpretations of the word antiquity in ancient history, one is before 800 years before the Holy Calendar, that is, before the first contact of human beings with demons, including the Thunder Dynasty, the Flame Dynasty and the earlier tribal era. The second refers to the era before the Flame Dynasty, when human civilization was still in the stage of tribal obscurantism, and the power was in full bloom. In the early years, antiquity was often used to refer to the latter, but nowadays it is more often referred to as the former...... After all, we are more than 2,000 years away from the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, and the history that seemed close to everyone at that time has also become distant. ”
Zheng Liming sighed and said: "And with the passage of time, those histories that are only recorded in books will inevitably become distorted and faded, whenever I look through the ancient history, what I read between the lines is a strong sense of disobedience, the fall of the Flame Dynasty and the Thunder Dynasty, the formation of the elemental trough, and even the end of the earliest era of a hundred flowers blooming, the beginning of the Elemental Era...... There are a number of inconsistencies in the internal logic of the various accounts. It wasn't until I actually trekked through mountains and rivers and personally visited various ruins that a relatively self-consistent historical logical chain was finally formed. And it was also in this process that I truly grasped the essence of the master's realm, and even glimpsed the glimmer of the apocalypse. ”
Speaking of the apocalypse, Zheng Liming's expression was inevitably bitter, but it was only a flash, and he quickly regained his calm: "In the ancient ruins, I have witnessed the real history and learned the power of the ancients, what you saw just now is my martial arts." ”
Bai Xiao was surprised, on the one hand, what Zheng Liming said was a bit unbelievable, because the loss of the power of the ancients had long been a well-known common sense, or this was the foundation of the entire demonic civilization!
It is precisely because the power of the ancients is gradually lost, and human beings are powerless to resist in the face of the erosion of the demons, so they are forced to choose the power of the demons, and finally turn the tables successfully...... However, to this day, many hidden dangers about the Demon Path are still a hot topic in the academic community.
If someone at this time said that the power of the ancients had not been lost, then the foundation of the entire demonic civilization would have been shaken.
On the other hand, Bai Xiao was even more surprised that Zheng Liming actually told such an important thing frankly, how much trust did he have in himself?
Zheng Liming sneered: "It's not a secret that needs to be hidden, my ancient power is not right, it is not as easy to use as you think, and it is not universal, I just got a few inheritances in the ancient ruins." ”
Bai Xiao tilted his head, indicating that he didn't understand this part.
Zheng Liming was surprisingly patient and explained: "My specialty lies in the space-time domain, and I have the ability to go back to history to a certain extent, so in the relics of civilization in the Eastern Continent, I am fortunate to have collected historical fragments of the ancient era. And from these fragments of history, I can draw some of the power of antiquity. The limit of absorption is the limit of me as an individual of 'Zheng Liming'. For example, when I invoke the power of martial arts, my limit is what I can eventually achieve if Zheng Liming has been practicing martial arts diligently since birth and has been tested. ”
Bai Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Teacher, your talent is quite good." ”
"It's not a good fart, if you don't take advantage of the surprise, at most you will be on an equal footing. In other words, it took me more than three times as much cultivation time to barely reach your current level, and you call this a good talent?"
Bai Xiao said calmly: "It's really good to be able to have one-third of my level." ”
This kind of calm and shameless posture made Zheng Liming feel his bones in his throat again, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"In short, I can use the supernatural powers of the space-time domain to invoke some ancient powers, but the upper limit is insufficient, and the utility that can be played in actual combat is very limited, and this power is more reflected in academic value...... With direct contact with fragments of ancient history, my ancient studies can be said to be the most authoritative in the Western Continent, and on the other hand, this power can just be used to hone you, the ancient relics. ”
"Ancient relics?" Bai Xiao keenly captured a key word.
Zheng Liming scratched his head: "This is obvious, right? The Snow Mountain Tribe must be the remnants of the Eastern Continent who immigrated here from the top of the snow in ancient times, otherwise how could they be completely unaffected by the free demonic energy? When the war between humans and demons broke out, the demons had already released a large amount of demonic energy to pollute the entire territory of human civilization, and only the creatures hiding on the top of the snow were spared. In addition, compared to today's southerners, your tribesmen have too many unusual features, extraordinary physical abilities, a spiritual world that can be channeled, and your natural physique insulated from demonic energy, which is simply the label of the ancient relics on your face!"
"I see. Bai Xiao touched his cheek, "So, I belong to a rare cultural relic?"
It was a half-joking remark, but Zheng Liming nodded: "That's right, in the eyes of many people, you snow mountain savage is a strange commodity to live in, even if you don't consider the identity of the tribal prince, there are countless conspirators who simply covet your flesh." When you first came to Hongshan City, it really attracted a lot of unscrupulous collectors, and in those days, the academy and Hongshan City spent a lot of effort to clean up these miscellaneous pieces, and the participants at that time said that you were a genius with your own traffic. ”
"Thank you. ”
"That's not a compliment!"
Bai Xiao didn't mind: "It should be now." ”
"......" Zheng Liming sneered, but did not deny it, indeed, when Bai Xiao is mentioned now, even the most exclusive mentor has to pinch his nose and admit his ability. When he first entered the school, there were still many people who had the mentality of watching a good show, feeling that the savage who was insulated from the Demon Dao and did not do his best to provoke the Demon Dao princess would soon be disgraced.
But half a year has passed, Bai Xiao's achievements have turned many people's three views upside down, he has successfully adapted to the magic energy with the physique of the demon path insulator, and has a unique legendary demon seed. After that, he went all the way, and in half a year, he walked the road that most students may not be able to complete in ten years, and it was like a humble remark to say that he was full of genius.
In fact, there are already many demon Taoists who are seriously considering exploring the Snow Mountain Tribe.
Bai Xiao's talent can't come out of thin air, the environment that can breed such a genius is more worthy of attention, the Snow Mountain tribe can breed Bai Xiao, Qingyue, Lan Lan, and naturally can also breed more talents.
For example, talents with southern blood.
Bai Xiao has expressed his dissatisfaction with his biological father on many occasions, intentionally or unintentionally, and it is rumored that Bai Wuya, the leader of the Snow Mountain Tribe, is a scumbag who has no daughters and no joy...... This trait may be a torture for his own son, but in the eyes of many speculators, it is a godsend!
At least as far as Zheng Liming knows, there are already many people discussing how to organize a group to go to the Snow Mountain and send seedbeds to Bai Wuya...... It's just that the harsh environment of the snow-capped mountains makes it impossible to put these plans into practice.
Shaking his head and getting rid of these distracting thoughts, Zheng Liming said again: "Okay, there is enough nonsense, while the effect of space expansion is still there, let's practice a few more rounds, what you lack now is not the training of the Demon Dao, but the training of the power of the ancients." And now only I can help you with this kind of thing. ”
Although Bai Xiao has not yet figured out the truth of this, it does not prevent him from understanding that this is Zheng Liming's painstaking work.
This temporary mentor is really dedicated to himself.
And for such kindness, Bai Xiao naturally wanted to respond with all his might, he breathed lightly, and the blood in his body began to boil again.
The internal injury that had just hit the floor with all his strength had healed in a moment, and Bai Xiao's state was still at the peak level, and he could show his full strength to Zheng Liming.
But Bai Xiao was very cautious and did not rush to attack again, Zheng Liming's martial arts level was no less than his own, and his physical quality even won slightly with the blessing of the demonic power, not to mention the actual combat experience, he must not be blind when fighting with such an opponent.
Find the flaws and ......
However, just when Bai Xiao tried to gain insight into the other party's flaws, he felt his body tingle slightly, as if something invisible and viscous was covering it.
The next moment, the whole world turned dark red, and Zheng Liming's speed became several times faster in his field of vision!
