Chapter 226 The New King of Oran
Ji Xun looked at the old man who suddenly showed his domineering attitude in front of him, and his heart was surging.
It was as if I saw a giant humanoid dragon. The pressure from that high-ranking creature solidified the air into colloid, making it difficult to breathe.
In a sense, this is no longer a human category.
But "demigod".
In the legend, there are demigods who can kill gods and demons and possess the power of gods and demons.
This pressure is real.
“This realm really exists!”
While Ji Xun was shocked, he also felt a sense of awe in his heart.
He was not amazed at the pressure of this high-level creature that he had seen many times,
But I was shocked that a human being felt such coercion!
When talking with Master Merlin before, Ji Xun also heard about this civilization-level bottleneck that has troubled card masters for thousands of years.
Level 6 is the current upper limit for card masters.
This bottleneck has locked up the entire card master civilization.
Even the few legendary experts who can understand the field still cannot break through this limit.
Countless forefathers have groped on this road, but have yet to find 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 became filled with anticipation.
This is not just as simple as describing it as terrifying combat power.
But it is of great significance to the entire card master civilization!
It was like a lighthouse that had been dormant for thousands of years suddenly lit up in the pitch-black sea.
A certain pioneer sailing in the darkness finally lit this beacon that illuminated civilization.
It guided subsequent ships to avoid rocks, avoid undercurrents, and find the correct navigation direction.
Since I plan to teach seriously.
The student said he wanted to see it, so Gong Wu showed it to him.
The distance between the two was very close, and the bad old man was obviously evil again, probably to impress Ji Xun, and the aura of a top powerhouse instantly filled him up.
When Ji Xun came to his senses, he was already sweating all over his body.
Existences of this level, even just looking at them, have already walked on 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 he was saying: Why aren't you particularly shocked?
Ji Xun’s eyes twitched and he rolled his eyes at the old man.
If he had never seen the power of dragons or gods, perhaps today's scene would really shock his jaw.
It’s a pity that I’ve seen it before.
Gong Wu thought about it for a moment and understood something. He put away the high pressure and asked: "Have you seen this before?"
"Yes."
< br>Ji Xun suddenly felt that the pressure of carrying the mountain on his back was gone, and he was able to break up the trouble and said: "I have seen dragon-born creatures in a certain extra-dimensional space. And..."
As he said that, he pointed to the mural on the rock wall and said quietly: "There are also some stumps of the Weeping Angel."
It turns out I have seen it before.
It suddenly dawned on Gong Wu that he had captured something again, and said in a strange tone: "Have you seen an angel before?"
He has seen this mural for many years,
Has anyone actually seen it?
Ji Xun obviously knew why he asked this.
It's like a guy from the mountains comes to town and asks what year it is.
This old man has been in seclusion for too long.
He simply said a few words: "Yes. Those guys from the Silver Moon Sect wanted to unblock the old god, and then they made some noise. In short, the current situation of the entire Federation and the Old Continent The change is very big.”
After hearing this explanation, Gong Wu understood what happened.
At the same time, he muttered to himself: "I have been in seclusion for the past few years, and the outside world has changed so much."
But he didn't have much interest.
No changes in the outside world have any appeal to him, a lonely old man who pursues the highest realm of martial arts.
He is not interested in who becomes the king or who becomes a member of Parliament.
Ji Xun looked at the old man's expression and knew that he was not satisfied with his pretense, so he still asked in a flattering manner: "Senior, is this the 'Fist Intent' you have understood?"
The dismantling is real.
The admiration comes from the bottom of my heart.
It is normal for mythical creatures to have such high pressure.
For a human being to reach this level, this is a state of epoch-making significance.
This coolness doesn’t need to be faked.
But the old man himself is already very, very extraordinary.
Ji Xun actually wanted to ask, why is there such a big difference between what the old man showed just now and what he was being "meant to"?
The effect was not full. The old man was obviously less interested than before, but he also explained: "You can say that. But not entirely. This is something at a higher level."
He seemed to want Ji Xun to understand more clearly. He paused and thought for a moment before adding: "Since you have met the dragonborn, you should have experienced the dragon's power. In fact, this is the manifestation of the consciousness of a high-level creature. Bit of words, It can be called 'human power', but I like another name - divine power. Human beings can control the power of gods, and they also have the power of gods."
Ji Xun frowned, but he still didn't understand. .
But he also wanted to confirm the myths and legends, so he said: "Senior, is this the legendary 'demigod realm'?"
"This"
The old man was also slightly speechless.
He has just realized this.
After all, this is a field that no one has touched in the card master world for more than two thousand years, and it cannot be explained in a few words.
If Ji Xun hadn't been awakened by his intrusion, he might have stayed in seclusion for a while to continue his enlightenment.
Thinking of something, endless depth flashed across his eyes, and he only said: "When you really reach this state, you will find that this is a completely different level. In a sense, I do He is already a 'demigod'."
Ji Xun knew that it was a level that he could not understand for the time being, so he asked a simple and curious question: "What is the specific function of this 'divine power'? "Of course Gong Wu knows."
Now he has truly felt the reason why those ancestors who broke through the seventh level threshold in the past were 100% deformed.
But this feeling is difficult to describe to others.
He thought for a while and reluctantly organized some words: "When you reach this state, you can clearly feel the cognitive differences brought about by the elevation of life levels. Of course, in biology, the specific It can be said to be something like the unlocking of a gene chain or the return of blood. I didn’t understand these words when I talked with Merlin before. If you are interested, you can ask that guy later.”
< br>“.”
Ji Xun listened thoughtfully.
I didn’t understand it, but I caught some key words.
He remembered his first-level fusion [Beast Walker] professional card. Master Merlin said it was a small experiment for him to do a bloodline reversion experiment?
These things sound a bit empty, and Gong Wu knew that Ji Xun would not be able to understand them at his level.
And he also knew that what Ji Xun wanted to ask about just now was about the role of combat power.
Thinking of this, the old man had a hint of teasing in his expression: "However, there is another very powerful effect. Do you want to try it?"
Looking at the expression of this bad old man, Ji Xun knew that this guy must have bad intentions, and he was probably thinking of playing tricks again.
But he was really too curious, so he nodded seriously: "Yeah!"
When the old man heard what he said, his white eyebrows raised: "Okay, you prepare your defenses, I Let me show you. "
Ji Xun did not dare to be careless and transformed into a werewolf. The curse marks all over his body instantly condensed, and his skin also showed a bronze metallic luster.
Has entered the strongest defensive state.
The old man watched him get ready, narrowed his eyes slightly, and appeared in front of Ji Xun in an instant.
Immediately, Ji Xun felt the feeling of "divine power" coming towards his face.
But it has been extremely restrained and the pressure is very light.
Then the old man stretched out a finger and flicked it.
But this is an understatement, like the sound of a cannon exploding.
A "touch" sound.
Ji Xun felt a roar and explosion in his forehead, and his whole body flew out.
It was a feeling as if the soul had been beaten out of the body.
During the period from flying upside down to landing, Ji Xun clearly felt a feeling of being almost out of body and losing control of his body.
My thoughts can move, but my body is completely out of control.
What's going on?
This is an experience Ji Xun has never had before.
Being beaten is expected.
But don’t beat the one who doesn’t understand.
That feeling
He felt like he was a knight in full armor in a painting, defensive and ready for attack.
However, at this moment, a finger from outside the painting directly punctured the paper.
Hegemony and spells are like a thin layer of paint that breaks off instantly.
This is not a one-dimensional attack method at all!
Is this "divine power"?
So strong!
This is outrageous.
Ji Xun was immersed in that eye-opening state.
This moment seems to have slowed down countless times, but it still feels fleeting.
The soul returns to the body, and severe pain hits the forehead!
This kind of pain is like being beaten when you were a child, the pain makes your soul twitch.
Even Ji Xun's current pain tolerance took a breath: "Hiss"
He covered his forehead and clearly felt a big bag springing up like bamboo shoots. out.
It is round and bulging, and it is getting bigger and bigger.
Ji Xun looked at the bad old man opposite who was gloating over his misfortune again, and complained: This guy really has no good intentions.
The old man looked at it and smiled.
It seems that he is very satisfied to see this guy who has learned his skills for most of his life in a month or two looking embarrassed.
But he laughed, and he did not forget to remind him: "Remember what you just felt."
"."
Ji Xun's temples twitched in pain, but It was also because of the pain that it deepened the impression.
In an instant, he also understood what the old man wanted him to remember.
It felt like I had an "out-of-body experience" just now, as if I was taken to another dimension for a tour.
At least at that moment, I felt the concept of "off-screen"!
This is an angle he has never seen before.
It's like a lighthouse lighting up in a dark sea!
Although that ray of light is still very, very far away, as long as you sail to that sea area, you can see the lighthouse.
This qigong master showed him a smooth path to the pinnacle of martial arts.
“So that’s it.”
Ji Xun took a deep breath.
How could I not know that this old man gave me a gift that would be jealous of countless top card masters?
He put away the expression on his face, raised his hands in salute, and said respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."
The old man shook his head with a look of disinterest: "Your rank is too low now, and I can't give you any advice." Tell me more. Think about it carefully. When you understand what you mean, you will know why you got hit today."
As he said this, this guy didn't forget to take pleasure in his misfortune. He said with concern: "Ah, I haven't done anything for a long time. The strength seems to be a little stronger. The bump on your forehead seems a bit big. How about applying some medicine first?"
"."
Hearing these mean words, although Ji Xun knew that he had benefited, he still felt a little resentful.
The burning pain in his forehead was still fermenting at this moment, and he took another breath before suppressing it.
He was sure that the old man could have used other methods to teach this concept, but he chose this most cruel and inhumane method. That bad old man's expression seemed to say: You can't live without any of the hardships I've endured.
Since he was beaten, Ji Xun also felt that he should dig out more good things.
Bringing up this topic again, he simply asked directly: "Senior, how can you understand your own 'meaning'?"
The old man listened and casually said a word that he had said many times: "Enlightenment."
"."
Ji Xun rolled his eyes.
Of course he knew he wanted to understand.
Countless card masters’ books say this.
I just want to ask if there are any tricks or shortcuts for people like you who have already understood the power of the gods.
Just like the first time, tapping the forehead makes people understand a little bit.
Even if he was beaten again, Ji Xun felt that if he could understand the meaning of his fist, it would be worth it.
Of course the old man understood, and said: "Martial arts can be learned, and they can be mastered quickly through skill cards. But the realm must be understood."
Ji Xun rolled his eyes at him again. : You can’t help it?
That's it for other places, but there are a lot of people who have understood "meaning" in this mine.
Just like the distorted miners on the fifth and sixth floors of the mine, they have more or less understood it.
There should 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 containing some incomplete ancient fighting spirit. But that It's all other people's, not yours. You can follow the path that others have taken, and imitate and learn from it. It's your own, it's the attribute of your soul. It’s all other people’s things, like a smelly ditch where all kinds of water can collect. Do you think it will be polluted?”
As he spoke, the old man said lazily: “So even if you stay here all your life? Wait, you may be able to understand a hundred or a thousand other people's fighting intentions, but you may not be able to understand your own. On the contrary, those fragments of thoughts will make you lose your mind, like those deformed miners, and eventually become crazy. "< br>
"."
Ji Xun was helpless as he listened.
This was originally a shortcut he thought of. He had tried it before and found it fruitful.
It turned out that we were going the wrong way.
The old man didn't remind me before, probably because he was waiting to scold him now.
Gong Wu continued: "And I can tell you very clearly that only when you understand the 'meaning' can you truly understand what life is. And the essence of 'divine power' is actually to recognize one's own soul in one aspect I can't explain it to you very clearly. You can understand it as much as you can."
"."
Ji Xun is naturally convinced.
He was also grateful to have this senior’s guidance, which saved him from taking too many detours.
However, just after he thought that his question was fruitless, the old man changed the topic, "But if you want to say that there is a shortcut, there is."
Ji Xun immediately cast his eyes and listened intently: "Oh?"
But the old man didn't know what he thought of, and said quietly: "If the heart does not die, the mind will not live."
Ji Xun is elusive. With these words, doubts appeared: "???"
The old man explained: "It's not just that you are not afraid of life and death. There is also the emotional perception of others, all things, and the entire world. When you After the original state of mind has undergone a drastic change, the original solidified cognition has collapsed, and it is easy to understand some of my own thoughts in that state."
After pondering for a moment, he said quietly again. Said: "However, I think most people are not willing to take this shortcut. This is how the teacher taught me before. It's a pity that I didn't understand it at that time, and I thought"
The words stopped abruptly.
The old man took a sip of wine.
“.”
Ji Xun heard the sudden melancholy tone, looked at the smile that quietly faded, and guessed that this young man may have experienced "heart death" .
A few days passed by.
Ji Xun's learning progress is very fast.
In just two months, he learned that it might take others half a lifetime to understand the secrets of martial arts.
Although most of what he has learned now is still the basics of qigong master, he still enjoys it.
The master led us through the door, guiding the way like a beacon, and he left the rest by himself.
Ji Xun no longer pursues the martial arts skills and moves he once pursued.
But the daily practice is to catch birds and practice controlling Qi.
Then learn a few of your own magical mysteries and read through the classics.
Focused and efficient.
New changes every day.
Then there is a fixed time every day to go to the seventh floor of the mine, have a meal with the old man, and learn something new.
This day.
Ji Xun arrived at the seventh floor as usual.
Now he can stay in this highly polluted environment for more than half an hour.
The old and the young were sitting around the food as usual, eating and drinking.
Ji Xun also asked the new questions he encountered.
Not only about qigong, but also other magic and mystical techniques.
This senior’s vision often gave him enlightening guidance.
Gong Wu said while drinking wine.
“Normally, if you want to have a deep understanding of the fifty-two mysterious magic, you must have sufficient knowledge of the power and laws of the demons in this sequence. But you kid is an exception. I observe However, your profession is very special, and you have a strong affinity and affinity for any magical method. It may seem that you are versatile but can specialize in everything. But if you do, your path will be difficult. Once you get through it, it’s hard for me to imagine how high that road will go.”
He now has no persuasion about Ji Xun’s career sequence.
The more I understand, the more clearly I realize that even with my current vision, I cannot see through this [JOKER] sequence.
But Gong Wu didn’t worry too much.
This world hides too many secrets.
Less than half of the card master’s fifty-two sequences remain.
The higher you stand, the smaller you feel.
What humans can see now is just the surface of this world.
“I have traveled to almost the entire Eastern Continent, to the disaster-ridden ‘Shadow Rift Valley’, to the ‘Hyjal Hell Volcano’, to the ‘Lake of Death’, and to the world The cracks go down ten thousand meters, and I have escaped death. While pursuing martial arts, I have also peeked into countless secrets hidden in history. But the more I see the so-called big world, the more I feel that human power is too insignificant in this world. "
"And when I understood the power of God, I had a completely new understanding of the world. It was a completely different level of understanding. The scenery at high places was better than you imagined. It's better. I can't describe it. Only when you see it with your own eyes can you see the wider world above my head."
"."
After drinking too much, this old man behaved like an ordinary old man and talked too much.
But Ji Xun also likes to listen.
This old man disappeared for eighty years.
But his life is really a legend.
The stories he told are scenery that countless people will never be exposed to in their lifetime.
Of course, this coquettish old man occasionally brags, such as "I was so handsome when I was young, and countless girls dreamed of marrying me."
The two of them drank and chatted like this.
No one can disturb me underground.
However, today, some uninvited guests came.
Suddenly, Gong Wu, who was holding the bottle of wine to his mouth, had a serious look on his face: "Someone is coming!"
Ji Xun was fascinated by the story and was greatly surprised when he heard this. Surprised: Someone is coming?
The miners on the seventh floor of the mine will definitely not come, and neither will the aberrations. 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: "This person is not weak. Put it away first."
Ji Xun understood immediately. , put away all the food and wine.
The old man waved his hand, and the surrounding smell that was originally controlled in a small area was instantly gone.
The two of them jumped onto the rock wall and hid behind an inconspicuous big rock.
Ji Xun looked at the intersection in the distance and was curious about who could come here.
Not long after waiting, a group of six people walked in.
The five people wore special black cloaks with gold patterns, and in the middle was a young man with silver hair and an iron crown of thorns.
This young man did not hide his face, he was quite handsome, and one could immediately see the aura of a superior person who was not angry and assertive.
As soon as Ji Xun saw the silver hair and the luxurious golden robe, he immediately guessed the identity of this person: "The new king of Oran?"
This Shangbang Prison is the property of the Golden Oak Security Company, and the Royal Family of Oran is behind it.
With such a large treasure house, it is normal for this "mine owner" to come and inspect it.
But Ji Xun looked at the phantom of the demon god with the same crown rising behind the young king, and his eyes shrank slightly: "It turns out that this guy has successfully integrated the [K of Spades-Tyrant] The epic source is stuck.”
The time is almost the same.
I used to create a barrier in Lion City to absorb fear. It is normal to be able to fuse this source card.
Moreover, this [Tyrant] sequence is said to have mastered the two high-level laws of kingship and fear. With some treasures, it makes sense that it can resist the pollution in this mine.
But when Ji Xun saw the crown on the head of the silver-haired young man, he felt familiar for some reason.
Look up again and look at the rock wall.
Isn’t this the crown worn by the royal family protected by the weeping angel in the mural?
On the other side, Gong Wu also recognized the crown and said doubtfully: "Hey, that's strange. Why did that old guy Merlin give the 'King's Key' to this guy?"
Ji Xun cast a curious look as he listened. He seemed to have heard this word somewhere.
Gong Wu understood his look.
This old man was not like other people who were hiding their words. He blurted out: "It's the crown on the kid's head. This is the 'King's Key'. There were originally five pieces. One piece is in the hands of old man Merlin. Keep it. I didn’t expect it to fall into the hands of this guy.”
Ji Xun asked: “Senior, what is the king’s secret key?”
Gong Wu glanced at Ji Xun. He seemed to feel that this topic was very sensitive, but he already had enough trust, so he directly said: "This is the biggest secret of Innocence City."
"???"
When Ji Xun heard this, he became even more curious.
The old man added: "When we discovered Innocence City, we accidentally discovered the iron cable leading to the Old Continent. The incantation iron cable itself is an artifact. And this crown is the key to controlling the iron cable. Old You have also seen the meaning of the road. In order to prevent someone from monopolizing the key, I don’t know about others, but I am sure that Merlin has one. And he will never give it to others easily."
As he spoke, he said to himself: "It's strange. Although that old guy Merlin spends all day tinkering with his weird research, his abilities are very tricky. I want to steal it from that guy. Come on, not many people in the entire federation can do it. Now it’s given to these Oran survivors?”
So that’s what happened to the iron rope.
Ji Xun felt like he had heard some high-end secrets.
At the same time, he was also slightly surprised.
Although he knew that Master Merlin should be very strong.
But he is a card maker after all.
But now, this veteran at the pinnacle of martial arts can actually say "very difficult"?
Gee, how strong is that?
But Ji Xun is not very interested in the kingdom key.
After all, he has seen that those Oran remnants have too many high-end secrets in their hands.
He was more curious, what are these people doing here?
Watching those people walking towards the bottomless pit in the center of the mine, Ji Xun also asked curiously: "Senior, what is in this pit?"
The old man shook his head and said in an uncertain tone: "About two hundred meters down, there is an obelisk. But the pollution there is already beyond the reach of me, and I don't know what is written on it. What. I still can’t see the bottom, and I don’t know what’s underneath.”
Ji Xun also expressed his understanding.
If the pollution in this mine is like air, then the pollution in the pit is completely like a pool of black water.
You can’t even see it, let alone go on.
But after listening to the "stone tablet", Ji Xun thought of the underground palace at the ruins of Xia Mucheng.
Was there such a stone tablet at that time?
This kind of stone tablet seems to be a fixed standard for some kind of super-level seal?
Could it be that this is also the remains of a sealed angel?
Thinking of this, Ji Xun vaguely guessed what those guys were doing.
At this time, Gong Wu once again said something surprising: "However, these guys have already been here once more than half a year ago. Last time, they fished out a 'black coffin' here .”
"Coffin?"
Ji Xun blinked when he heard this.
He is so familiar.
In the ruins of Xia Mu City, when those Oran remnants went to take in the remains of the angel, didn't they channel a black coffin?
And Nanjing also said that when the old King of Oran was about to die, someone also moved a mysterious black coffin into the palace.
Looking at it now, it seems to be the one fished out from here?
So I guessed it right. Is there really a broken body of an angel in this pit?
