"Junior has only practiced in the Xiangshan Sect for a year, and then stayed outside because of the mission. He doesn't know much about the things in the sect. As for the spells you mentioned about controlling aliens, they are just rough techniques that I developed myself. Not worth mentioning."
Hearing this, Jin Kui nodded and said, "Are you going to the Dusk Desert when you come back this time?"
"That's not clear. Why did senior say that?"
Zhang Changkong asked if he didn't understand.
Jin Kui said: "If a warlock wants to go further in the later stage, it is only possible to go to the Five Heavenly Passes and the Dusk Desert. At least this is the regular path of our Xiangshan Sect."
"The concentration of vitality in the sect is better than that in those places, isn't it okay to keep practicing in the sect?" In fact, Zhang Changkong has enough vitality stones. If he goes to those dangerous places just to earn vitality stones, he is not willing to do so.
Jin Kui smiled slightly and said, "Do you think you can steadily improve to the level of a mage if you keep practicing?"
"Is not it?"
"In addition to cultivating vitality and mana, the mage realm also needs something, and that is the essence of heaven and earth. There are many types of essence of heaven and earth, but the more common one is the essence of the earth. Our Xiangshan Sect only has the five heavenly gates and the dusk Only the desert has this kind of precious essence. Moreover, in addition to being necessary to break through the realm of the mage, essence also has a lot of effects on the understanding of skills and the improvement of mana. Therefore, many warlocks will go to these six places in the later stage or even in the middle stage. Place, gain military exploits in exchange for earth essence," Jin Kui replied.
Seeing that Zhang Changkong still wanted to ask, Jin Kui quickly said: "If you still have questions, you will easily understand when you go to the Dusk Desert in the future. As for why it is the Dusk Desert, because the Five Heavenly Gates and the Dusk Desert are respectively The eighteen peaks in the sect are assigned to guard, and the one you Wanzhu Peak guards is the Dusk Desert."
Although Zhang Changkong still had questions, he saw that Jin Kui had no patience anymore, so he stopped worrying. These common-sense things can always be clarified by taking some time.
"If there is nothing wrong, senior, I will take my leave." Zhang Changkong cupped his hands.
"Well, the main reason I asked you to come this time is because you want to meet me. Also, don't break into the sect's array in the future. Only those specific exits can enter the sect." Jin Kui waved his hand and signaled to Zhang The sky can leave.
Zhang Changkong stood on the back of the Golden Needle Wasp, looking back at the misty flower hill behind him, thoughtfully.
Just now Jin Kui said that the Five Heavenly Gates and Dusk Desert are the places guarded by the Eighteen Peaks, but he ignored the main peak. The number of monks on the main peak will never be less than that of any of the Eighteen Peaks. The method for those people to obtain the essence of the earth Jin Kui It didn’t say that it seems that the Eighteen Peaks are the branches and leaves of the Xiangshan Sect, or the collateral line, and the main peak is the backbone and direct lineage.
Zhang Changkong quickly verified his identity from the entrance of the sect and entered the Xiangshan Sect Mountain Range.
Soon, the majestic Wanzhu Peak appeared in front of us.
Zhang Changkong didn't bother to go to the mission hall to settle the mission. He didn't care about the vitality stones in the mission now, and let the Golden Needle Wasp fly all the way from the mountainside to the top of the mountain.
"What kind of mount is it? It can actually fly?"
"It must be a mutated bird with the blood of a ferocious beast. It's so domineering. I will catch one as a mount in the future."
"Is that senior fellow from which peak above? It doesn't seem to be from our Wanzhu Peak."
…
Some monks or other mortals in Wanzhu Peak saw Zhang Changkong's passing figure, and they immediately started talking. After all, flying mounts were not common in Wanzhu Peak.
Zhang Changkong thought, the normal procedure should be to go to the mission hall to hand in the mission, and then wait for the summons of Master Shenmu. Is it appropriate for him to go there like this?
However, I don't want to see the management of Wanzhu Peak. After all, I was sent to a place like Sanhe Rainforest that is not suitable for cultivation. If I hadn't been a little lucky, I might have been trapped in it for the rest of my life. This is not a small contradiction.
There are clusters of bamboo forests at Wanzhu Peak, but the top of the peak is covered with short trees. These trees are winding and look like vines.
In the woods, there is a large hall standing in it. It seems that it is the training place of Master Shenmu.
Zhang Changkong landed at the gate and asked the Wasp to wait in the woods.
"Zhang Changkong meets the peak master!"
Zhang Changkong shouted loudly.
After a while, no one came to open the door.
Zhang Changkong guessed whether Master Shenmu was absent.
"come in!"
It’s another voice transmission from the divine consciousness.
Zhang Changkong pushed the door open and entered.
In the hall, Master Shenmu sat in the main seat.
"I've met the Peak Master." Zhang Changkong raised his hand.
"Well, you are indeed young and promising," Master Shenmu said with a smile.
Zhang Changkong secretly thought that he seemed to be ordinary-looking, and Master Shenmu didn't even say that he was talented.
"Do you know why I asked you to come back?"
"I don't know," Zhang Changkong answered honestly.
"Didn't you kill three people from Shensang Peak? Master Kong Kong from Shensang Peak came to see me some time ago," Master Shenmu said.
Zhang Changkong frowned slightly, "Is there any trouble?"
Zhang Changkong was too lazy to argue about right and wrong. He didn't think Master Shenmu would value these superficial things.
"It's not a problem, I just want to ask your opinion. Master Liakong intends to let you transfer to Shensang Peak," Master Shenmu said.
There is not much difference between Wanzhu Peak and Shensang Peak to Zhang Changkong, as long as the peak master of Shensang Peak does not target him.
But now that we are in front of Master Shenmu, we still have to do superficial things. If we don't do it, we won't give Master Shenmu face. Zhang Changkong uses himself to save others, and he will definitely not make it easy for anyone who loses his face.
"I still like to stay at Wanzhu Peak," Zhang Changkong replied.
Master Shenmu smiled slightly and said, "Don't refuse it now. I'll tell you something and you can decide later."
Master Shenmu said without waiting for Zhang Changkong to speak: "Do you know what a warlock needs to enter the realm of a mage?"
"It seems to be the essence of the earth or other essences." Zhang Changkong is now learning and selling.
"Oh, now that you understand I won't explain the function of essence." Master Shenmu nodded.
"No, I just know that the essence of the earth is needed, but I don't know the specific function, especially why the magician needs essence to break through the realm of the mage. I used to think that it is enough to complete the stage of mana cultivation and skill breakthrough." Zhang Changkong spoke quickly.
"Well, in that case, let me tell you something." Master Shenmu said in a very polite manner, "You are also a late-stage warlock now. You have two illusory spaces, the Qi Palace and the Divine Gate, in your body. To break through to the realm of a mage, you still need to open a new one. It's in an illusory space, well, it's not right to say it's opening, it should be condensing, this space is the realm of law."
"The legal domain is the scene you visualize based on the visualization diagram of your skills. Compared with Qi Palace and Shenmen, the legal domain is closer to reality because the magic weapon of the mage can be stored in the legal domain." Master Shenmu said slowly: "Actually, there are other terms for legal domain, such as altar or divine domain, which all mean the same thing."
"Huh? Aren't magic weapons stored in the Qi Mansion? That's what the book says." Zhang Changkong was a little confused.
"Most of the books you are reading are written by people who know only a little about the mage. You will not be allowed to have access to the mage's manuscripts casually." Master Shenmu shook his head.
"Depending on the different exercises, the legal domain is also different. The main body of the legal domain of some exercises is a big tree, some are big rivers, some are volcanoes, lava, etc. No matter what it is, it requires a huge amount of essence to condense, and , after becoming a mage in the future, the legal domain will become larger and require more energy."
"And the essence that our Xiangshan Sect can obtain stably is the essence of the earth. This is not only true for our Xiangshan Sect, but also for other sects."
Zhang Changkong was silent. He thought he had found the Vitality Stone vein and the Great Road to Heaven was already in front of him, but he didn't expect that other resources would be needed.
"I heard that the Five Heavenly Gates and the Dusk Desert can obtain essence?" Zhang Changkong asked.
"Yes, in fact, the source of the earth essence of our Xiangshan Sect is the entire land of the Xiangshan Sect. With each city as a node, a huge magic circle covering the entire Xiangshan Sect has been laid out. The reason why the talent of mortals can be detected in the city is also This magic circle".
Only now did Zhang Changkong know why there were so many cities in the Xiangshan Sect.
"The five heavenly gates and the Dusk Desert are the nodes where the essence of the earth gathers?" Zhang Changkong asked.
Master Shenmu nodded, "There is another place, that is the main peak of Xiangshan Mountain. It is also a node and the most important node. Originally, there was no node in the Dusk Desert before. The node in the Dusk Desert was established later."
"What I'm going to say next is the key point," Master Shenmu continued, "Our monks at the Eighteen Peaks can only obtain earth essence from six major nodes except the main peak, but the essence of these six nodes needs to be provided. How much is given to a mage born in the Eighteen Peaks, and how much is given to a warlock?"
"So how can a warlock obtain enough earth essence?" Zhang Changkong asked.
"This is why the six major nodes need to be guarded by people. Each sect will have similar nodes. If you don't get enough in your own sect, you will naturally find a way from other sects." Master Shenmu smiled slightly.
Zhang Changkong was silent and said: "In that case, what's the difference between me at Wanzhu Peak and Shensang Peak? Also, why don't we establish more places where additional earth essence nodes gather like the Dusk Desert? There are many places in the wilderness. It’s a deserted place, and there’s not much danger.”
