Volume 124: The Nether Stone
"Fighting?" Ming Xuan asked suspiciously.
"That's right, it's a battle, and if it's the kind of battle that is extremely challenging and can inspire people's infinite fighting spirit and potential! Because only this kind of battle can make people's blood gush up, and it can also stimulate people's continuous growth and improvement under this kind of strong pressure, then in this way, the cultivation speed will naturally speed up a lot!"
"Well, I think this method is feasible!" Ming Xuan pondered for a while, and also agreed with this statement, this scene is not unfamiliar to him, in order to stimulate his rapid improvement, his grandfather arranged for him to enter the Black Forest for training, which is also an example of growing up in battle, and the facts have also proved that under that kind of Jedi, Ming Xuan's progress speed has indeed improved a lot.
"Right now, I just need something, and this kind of thing is stored in a somewhat dangerous place, you can go and help me get it, and by the way, I can experience myself and improve my progress. Chang Feng said with a little hesitation, looking a little uncertain.
"Oh, that's just right, what do you need, Elder What is it, where is it?" Ming Xuan was also excited when he heard it, compared to the aimless experience in the Black Forest, this kind of test with a task was obviously more purposeful and more interesting.
"It's called the Stone of the Netherworld, it is an extremely rare stone, stored in the depths of Mangshan in the northwest of Zhongzhou, and the depths of Mangshan have been far away from Zhongzhou, belonging to the region of the barbarian territory, where there are many tribes, each living together in an ethnic group, the folk customs are extremely strong, the people's wisdom has not yet been civilized, the action is like a savage, and they also live a life of hunting and picking wild fruits for a living, but because of this, they are all vigorous and powerful, and they also inherit some secret methods in their ethnic groups, similar to our Zhongzhou's martial arts, so they are extremely powerful, but because they are far away from Zhongzhou, they do not have any dealings with Zhongzhou, and they are very xenophobicAnyone who mistakenly intrudes into their territory will be killed by them, and the Netherstone is regarded as a sacred stone by them and worshipped to the gods. Chang Feng explained in detail, wanting Mingxuan to have a clear understanding.
"Then how many people will there be in their race, and what is their strength?" Ming Xuan asked.
"There are hundreds of such ethnic groups in the entire Mangshan, and each ethnic group is of different sizes, the big ones have tens of thousands of people, and the small ones are only a few dozen or even hundreds of people; their strength is naturally high and low, but due to the harsh environment, yes, their physical conditions are excellent! Ordinary people can be compared to martial artists! The powerful Cun Zài is not even weaker than the immortals! No one can ignore the strength, but because they are isolated from the world, and rarely go out of Mangshan, they are not known, and we will only know about them because of the Netherstone Stone. Chang Feng continued to explain.
"Where is the Netherstone placed?" Ming Xuan felt as if he was listening to a story, and the more he listened, the more interested he became.
"The Netherstone is regarded as a sacred stone by them, and naturally it is enshrined by every ethnic group, this stone is only found in a crypt in the depths of Mangshan, but it is regarded as a sacred place by them, and no one can set foot lightly, and there are strict guards around it. Chang Feng explained.
"Ah, Elder, you don't want me to go to their holy land to steal it!" Ming Xuan felt a chill in his heart, the weakest people there are all martial artists, and the strongest ones are at the same level as immortals, if you want to let yourself go to their holy land to steal the holy stone, it is tantamount to going to death!
"Am I so ignorant? Go there to steal the Netherworld Stone, no one in the entire outer courtyard of Qingyang Gate can do it! Even the inner courtyard can do it, there are not many people!Will I let you steal it?" Chang Feng said angrily, Ming Xuan also thought too highly of himself.
"Uh, what do you want me to do then, Elder?" Ming Xuan also felt that he was thinking too much.
"The Netherstone is enshrined by all the local ethnic groups as a holy stone, naturally each ethnic group will have some holy stones to worship, the holy stone is sacred and cannot be desecrated in their eyes, and it needs to be enshrined for the clansmen to admire, so each ethnic group will put their own holy stones in the most conspicuous place in the clan to worship, and it is also to tell the world that they are the people who are blessed by the holy stones, so even the weakest tribe in Mangshan, as long as they have the holy stones, they will not be swallowed up by other powerful ethnic groups. And we're naturally going to have to figure out a way from here. Chang Feng further said, it seems that they have done a lot of homework in order to obtain the Nether Stone.
"Elder, if that's the case, then I don't want to go! Among the weak people, the Netherstone is not only their holy stone, but also their talisman, if we take it, won't it bring them ruin? "Ming Xuan categorically rejected Chang Feng's Jianyi, without the Holy Stone, it means that they have no protection, and they will naturally be swallowed up by other tribes, and the reason for the law of the jungle is obvious.
"Ridiculous! I have lived for nearly a hundred years and cultivated for more than 80 years, would I do that kind of thing that will kill the anger of the heavens and gods? I have already said that every race has some Nether Stones, and we only need a little bit! It will not cause them much harm! I don't even want you to steal them! I want you to exchange them! I don't know what you're thinking!" Seeing that Ming Xuan actually imagined himself as such an unbearable person, Chang Feng said angrily.
"It's the disciple who misunderstood the elder, so how to get the Nether Stone, please let the elder make it clear!" Ming Xuan said curtly, the words just now were indeed a little inappropriate.
"Although the Nether Stone is very important to them, it is not indispensable, after all, they still have a lot of stock, as long as you can come up with something that makes them happy, it is possible to complete it, but before that, you have to get their approval and be willing to deal with you. "Chang Feng is not a stingy person, and he knew that Ming Xuan didn't mean it, so he didn't pursue it anymore.
"Then what should the disciple do?" Ming Xuan asked directly.
"It's a place that believes in the strong, and only the strong can get enough respect, but they have a strange rule, it's not that the stronger your strength is, the more respected you will be, but the stronger you are at this age, the more respected you will be, because they think that a person's strength is strong, it is because of the results of his long-term cultivation, this is nothing, because if they are given that long cultivation time, they can also achieve it! And only those who show the strongest strength at the same age can get their recognition, because your table has exceeded the potential of ordinary people, and the future is definitely limitless! So if you enter Mangshan, enter their realm, and want to deal with them, you must win their respect, and when they fall, they will arrange three people of your age to challenge you, only if you win them, can you get their recognition, if you lose, then you may take your life! And there may be contradictions between their tribes, but if outsiders come, then they will unite together, so these three people will not be selected in one or several ethnic groups, but from the entire Mangshan ethnic group, the best three peers will be selected, and their strength will naturally be extremely strong!" Chang Feng had to explain the rules to Ming Xuan clearly.
"Well, there is indeed some truth to this view! But the future changes are unpredictable, and being the strongest in the same age group now does not mean that you will achieve extraordinary achievements in the future, I think it is most practical to speak with the existing strength. "I'm stronger than you now, maybe you'll be better than me when you reach my age, but I'm also improving at that time, I'm still better than you!
"This is their point of view, and I don't want to discuss it too much, since I have entered their territory, I have to follow their rules. In fact, before I came back this time, several elders in the outer courtyard had been struggling with this problem, who should be better to send, because this is no longer about the level of strength, but whether you are strong among your peers, originally the top few in each session will be the first choice, but those peers in the Mangshan tribe are also extremely strong, and it is not necessarily that we can win, in case of loss, it will be a good life, and the elders are also afraid that the pillars of Qingyangmen will be damaged for this, so they have not made up their minds, and I just happened to talk to you about this today, and it happened to be associated with it, so I will listen to it with you。 Chang Feng just said the matter, and didn't mean to ask for Mingxuan to go, it was up to him to make the decision.
"Since it's the best of both worlds, why don't I go?" Ming Xuan tried to obtain the Netherworld Stone and solve the crisis in his body, why not do it? Not to mention that being able to fight with the best peers in the Mangshan tribe had already made Ming Xuan's blood boil!
"Alas, in fact, before I came back, I considered you, because in terms of martial artist strength alone, you are already outstanding at this age level, plus you are now practicing dual cultivation, some internal strength can be used, and your natural strength is even better, you should be the most sure, but now you are facing a challenge of life and death, and the other party's strength is only afraid and not weaker than you, it is extremely dangerous! Even if he said it now, Chang Feng still regretted it a little.
"This is something that the disciple can do, the elder doesn't have to hesitate!" Ming Xuan felt that there was nothing.
"Alas. Since you joined Luo Rì Peak, I haven't given you much guidance, it's all your own conscious hard work, I, an elder, am very incompetent! Now I still let you do such a dangerous thing, how can I bear it in my heart!" At this moment, Ming Xuan finally understood why Chang Feng said such an emotional sentence before.
"The elder can pass on my dual cultivation technique is already a great favor to me! being able to share the elder's worries is something I can't ask for, so why should the elder be so concerned?" Ming Xuan said loudly, firmly expressing his determination.
"Alas, well, this matter will be left to you!" Chang Feng patted Ming Xuan's shoulder and said with relief, but the hesitation in his eyes still did not dissipate.
