Zhong Ran, Cheng Huo and Lei Lei all received blessings from the deep diver's father, Dagon, in the fish-man village in the Tianshan secret realm.
With Dagon's blessing, a monk can immediately gain physical strength comparable to that of a monk in the deep submergence stage.
And with just a little more hard work, his cultivation can easily break through to the deep dive stage.
So after leaving the palace, Chenghuo, Zhong Ran and Lei Lei all went into seclusion to practice hard.
Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, there are still nearly two months before the great catastrophe in the West.
During this period, the monks in Bianjing City used various methods. Some of them contacted the ships docked at the seaside, hoping to board the ships and escape when the disaster came.
Other monks have contacted caravans who are familiar with the Gobi and desert terrain, and plan to leave by land from the south of Liang when the disaster comes.
These monks are actually pretty good.
If they want to board a ship or blend into a caravan, they only need to show their strong strength.
People from caravans and ships will naturally rush to get these monks.
And if mortals want to board a ship or join a caravan, they need to spend a lot of money or provide a lot of resources.
The rich people spent money and purchased supplies like this, which soon caused the prices in Bianjing to skyrocket.
Even Tai Sui meat, which can be grown with only fresh water, has nearly quadrupled in price, not to mention other supplies.
In addition to the monks, the number of refugees outside Bianjing City has also more than doubled unknowingly.
From the original 40,000 to 50,000 people, the number suddenly increased to more than 100,000.
So many people gathered outside Bianjing City, eating, drinking, and having sex together. The stench spread so far that the entire Bianjing City could smell it.
But even so, no refugees or residents in the city were willing to leave.
Everyone endured extremely harsh conditions, just to get a little protection from the monks or the Liang court after the great catastrophe in the west.
At the same time, the people and monks inside and outside Bianjing City were preparing for the catastrophe.
Among the three people in the surviving group, Lei Lei finally successfully broke through to the deep dive stage after a month of hard training in seclusion.
Thunder is a natural thunder spirit.
On the day of his breakthrough, the sound of lightning and thunder could be heard faintly in the sky. The powerful aura accidentally released during the breakthrough process attracted countless monks to observe.
Its popularity is unprecedented.
Another month or so passed like this, and with only more than thirty days left before the great catastrophe in the West, Survival also successfully broke through to the deep dive period.
On the day of his breakthrough, countless monks also came to watch.
At this point, Daliang Kingdom has a total of five deep dive monks: Yun Rusong, Xuansi, Li Zhuo, Chengshuo and Lei Ting.
As for Zhong Ran, he has been unable to break through because his talent is relatively poor.
…
The east coast of Daliang Kingdom.
High in the sky.
After flying to a small town on the eastern coast, Cheng Sheng deliberately took back the flying magic weapon at his feet in order to show off his strength.
He was suspended in mid-air and landed directly above a large ship on the seashore.
"Where is Yuan Shu?" Chengshuo's voice sounded high in the sky. His voice did not sound loud, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
——The captain of the ship below is called Yuan Shu.
About a year ago, when Cheng Huo first came to Bianjing, he took the initiative to find this person and expressed his intention to leave by boat.
As the captain, Yuan Shu readily agreed.
After that, Yuan Shu sent people to contact Chengshuo from time to time and kept in touch, which led to the current scene.
"It's Senior Cheng!"
on board.
Captain Yuan Shu, who heard the sound of survival, hurriedly trotted out from the cabin.
He looked up at Chenghuo, cupped his fists and saluted him, "Junior Yuan Shu, I have met senior Chenghuo!"
"It's survival!"
"It's actually Master Cheng who's here!"
on deck.
As soon as they heard the name Chengsheng, all the crew members were shocked and saluted him one after another.
It’s not even just the people on this boat.
After hearing the noise, sailors and passengers on other nearby ships also gathered in the direction of the survivors.
Because of the herd effect, more and more people began to gather towards Chengsheng's location, and the dock where the big ship was located was completely surrounded.
In fact, it is no wonder that these people have this reaction.
After all, Chenghuo was one of the few cultivators in the deep submergence stage in Bianjing City, and because of the Great Catastrophe in the West, his name had already reached the point where everyone knew about him.
High in the sky.
I heard Cheng Sheng say in a calm tone: "How are you preparing for going to sea?"
Yuan Shu said in a respectful tone: "You can go to sea at any time. In addition, your room has been prepared."
"The room is cleaned every day, and the layout is as simple and clean as possible according to the adults' requirements."
"There are maids and servants in the room."
"In addition, I have also assigned a cook on board for you. You only need to give an order to see what kind of food you want."
"Well, you did a good job." For these enjoyments, Chengsheng generally does not deliberately ask for them, but if others take the initiative to prepare them, he will not refuse.
In fact, during this period when prices were soaring and a catastrophe was approaching, Yuan Shuben did not have that much financial resources to prepare for these enjoyments in order to survive.
But since the rich families in Bianjing heard that they would take his ship to sea, they all spent a lot of money and tried every means to buy a boarding seat on his ship.
This allowed Yuan Shu to take the opportunity to make a small fortune.
After collecting a large amount of money in the name of Chengshuo, Yuan Shu became more and more enthusiastic about Chengshuo and boarded the ship, and then prepared all these enjoyments.
Hearing the encouragement for survival, the captain Yuan Shu said in an excited tone: "I dare to ask, Sir, when exactly will we board the ship? Will it be after the ferocious beast from the west arrives, or it will be a little earlier. I hope you can tell me in advance, so that I can have a good time." Prepare."
"What's the time to board the ship?" Chengshuo thought for a moment and said, "Right now, the Liang Kingdom has other plans to deal with the catastrophe."
"If it works, none of us will have to risk going out on a boat."
"After all, there is a great terror in the sea five hundred miles away from our Daliang Kingdom. This is a well-known thing. Even I am not 100% sure that I can survive at sea."
"So, if there is another way to deal with the catastrophe, it is better not to go to sea if possible."
"Does the Liang Kingdom have any other plans to deal with the catastrophe??" Captain Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard what Cheng Shuo said.
And he's not the only one.
The other sailors and monks on the deck, as well as the people who gathered near the ship to watch the heat, also showed shocked expressions.
Yuan Shu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask Chenghuo something.
But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt that there were some things that he shouldn't talk about.
Worried about making Cheng Sheng unhappy, he turned around and replied: "In that case, I will wait for the news about Cheng adults at the seaside."
"If you want to take a boat, please inform us a day or two in advance."
"Yes," Chengshuo responded, "If there is any movement from the imperial court, I will naturally notify you."
Ah this
Yuan Shu was delighted when he heard this.
If you can survive and know the court's movements as soon as possible, you can easily seize the opportunity when the catastrophe comes.
For this alone, Yuan Shu would have made a good profit if he took advantage of this line of survival.
Not to mention, he also made a fortune by surviving to board the ship.
Not only that.
After he survived and boarded the ship, he was protected by an expert in the deep dive stage, which was a huge profit.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu wanted to say some more flattering words to please Cheng Sheng.
But before he could even think of his beautiful words, his living figure flashed and he disappeared over the ship.
"Become a senior?"
on deck.
Yuan Shu tried to shout, but no one responded.
Then I heard a monk nearby who was quick to react shouting: "Hey! Look, Master Cheng has flown away!"
Another person responded: "That didn't fly away, right? Master Cheng clearly used the secret method of teleportation to teleport away from the place!"
"You don't know what you are doing!" the monk who reacted quickly retorted: "Sir, your cultivation is so profound that your flying speed is so fast that you can't see clearly."
He estimated: "Not to mention keeping up with Master Cheng's speed. Just to see Master Cheng's movements clearly, I'm afraid I have to practice at the blood elixir level!"
…
In order to determine whether the Liang court's plan was feasible, Cheng Huo flew back to Bianjing from the east coast and went directly to the secret room in his house.
He put his hand on the space gem on his chest and took out a large cyan cauldron.
——This tripod is called the 'Shinto tripod'. It was obtained from a ruin on the Hongshui Lake outside Ruyun City.
At first, Chenghuo regarded the cauldron as an alchemy furnace, but later he gradually figured out the true purpose of the cauldron.
Using the Shinto Cauldron, Survival can communicate with an organization called the 'Shadow Pavilion'.
Members of the pavilion can use their own cultivation as currency to exchange information, or skills and treasures with other members.
In the secret room.
Chengshuo sat cross-legged in front of the big blue cauldron and injected a very small amount of 'power of pain' into it.
After being infused with cultivation, a black vortex the size of a palm appeared for no apparent reason in the cauldron.
Shao Qing, a black shadow emerged from the whirlpool, mouthing human words: "It's you, have you already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
Nascent Soul?
Cheng Sheng was shocked when he heard the word 'Nascent Soul', and then said calmly: "I contacted the senior this time, mainly because I have a question I want to inquire about."
The shadow's cultivation seemed to be above the Nascent Soul stage.
In other words, it is above the deep dive period.
In short, when Chengsheng called the other party 'senior', the other party did not stop him in any way, but accepted it calmly.
He took advantage of the situation and said: "Then tell me what the problem is first!"
Cheng Huo said: "I dare to ask senior, is there any technique in this world that can transform things from illusion into reality?"
"Your question does not limit the area or scope, so theoretically speaking, it must be there." The black shadow replied: "There are nearly infinite planets in the entire universe, and there are countless techniques and techniques on these planets. magic weapon."
"Of course, it's not surprising that among these techniques and treasures, there are techniques that can transform things from illusion to reality."
"But the problem is..." Chenghuo said: "Creating matter and energy out of thin air is somewhat contrary to common sense, right?"
"It really goes against common sense."
Xuying said: "The practice of monks can be roughly divided into two types: the first is to absorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth in order to achieve the great road."
"The practice of breathing spiritual power can be regarded as an ancient practice system. There are not many things that go against common sense, but there is not much to say."
"But monks who use indescribable creatures as their source of power and use their power to practice have many magical things."
"Among this type of monks, there are those who can practice to the point where they will never be killed, and there are also those whose lifespan is almost endless."
"There are even those that you just said can transform non-existent things into reality."
"In short, the indescribable creature itself is an existence that goes against common sense. Therefore, monks who follow this system have normal abilities no matter how strange they are."
"Okay." Chengshuo asked: "So, seniors have seen this kind of technique, can they transform non-existent things into reality?"
"This is it"
Xuying said: "The information I told you before can be regarded as common sense that all high-level monks know, so there is no extra charge, but your next question"
"clear!"
De Xuying hinted that Cheng Sheng decisively poured a small amount of 'painful power' into the cauldron as the cost of this consultation.
"Not enough." Xuying said: "What I want to say next involves information about indescribable creatures."
this.
Considering that the catastrophe in the West is approaching soon, Cheng Sheng does not want to consume too much power in his body. Otherwise, he will not be able to cope with the catastrophe at his full strength.
But considering this news is indeed extremely important.
After much hesitation, he finally poured a certain amount of 'painful power' into the cauldron.
"That's enough." The shadow that took advantage said: "Indescribable creatures feed on human emotions."
"Taking advantage of this, some human monks actively extract the emotions of others and sacrifice them to unspeakable creatures."
"In return, nameless creatures often grant these human monks powers."
"And this is what is called practice, and it is the essence of practice."
Xuying continued: "To be more specific: the most representative emotion among them is the 'power of pain'."
"After all, human beings can produce pain as long as they are tortured. The process is simple and crude."
"It is precisely because of this that monks who use the 'power of pain' as their main strength account for the vast majority of monks."
"Just like you, fellow Taoist, haha!"
"Um" Chengshuo took over the conversation and said, "So, is there any connection between this and the 'make false come true' spell I just mentioned?"
"Don't worry." Xuying replied: "In addition to the 'power of pain', monks can also choose emotions such as faith, anger, desire, etc. as their major powers."
"And among them, monks who major in 'Power of Faith' can use this power to perform spells such as 'making falsehoods come true'."
"As long as they have enough 'power of faith' in their bodies, it will be easy to create matter out of thin air and even make their wishes come true!"
"In short, if you believe it, you have it; if you don't believe it, you don't have it."
"As long as you have faith, everything in the world can come true!"
The power of faith?
Hearing Xuying's words, Chengshuo's eyes suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
So, Le Zhengxunyi secretly cultivated the power of faith?
So on Xuanwu Star, there are still indescribable creatures that feed on the 'power of faith'?
After thinking for a while, Chengshuo thought of some of his own experiences.
He continued to ask the phantom: "Senior, is there such a possibility: Even if they don't rely on the 'power of faith', there are still people who can cast spells like 'turning falsehood into reality'?"
