What they didn't know was that when the strange beast emitted a dazzling white light, it could be seen almost anywhere in Luoxia Mountain.
"Look, what is that?"
Among the small group of people under Yangzhu Peak, one person was the first to see the white light and hurriedly called out to his companions.
"Why did there suddenly appear such a strong white light?" Others were also surprised when they saw it.
"Could it be..." One of them seemed to have thought of something, "Let's go and report it!"
…
Shao Bing, Yao Kai and others who had just come out of the near miss were no longer sleepy at this time. Except for the sentries and patrols, they all sat by the fire and discussed the strange beast with great interest, but they had no idea. A large group of people has quickly arrived from the foot of Zhuyang Peak.
"There are actually strange beasts in Zhuyang Peak. Doesn't that mean there are immortals too? Since ancient times, legend has it that strange beasts are mostly the mounts of immortals."
"I just don't know what that immortal looks like? Is he omnipotent?"
"To be able to tame such strange beasts as mounts, how powerful must the immortal on Zhuyang Peak be?"
"Which immortal is not one with great supernatural powers?"
"There are also some immortals who are not very high in cultivation. Even those of us who practice martial arts have low levels!"
"That's right. It is said by word of mouth on the mainland that when one reaches a certain level of martial arts cultivation, he will touch the threshold of cultivating immortality. It's just that we can't reach that level!"
…
Listening to everyone talking around the fire, An Ruoxi, who couldn't suppress her curiosity after hearing the discussion, finally spoke to Shao Bing and Yao Kai beside her, "Are there really immortals in this world? Are there really people? Have you reached the point where you can touch the threshold of cultivating immortality?"
After this question, the people in front of them all fell silent and looked at Shao Bing and Yao Kai in unison. After all, among the people, they had the highest cultivation level and were both second-grade martial arts masters.
"Actually, I don't know. After all, in this Northern Wilderness, the person with the highest cultivation level in the human race in the past hundred years is the King of Martial Peak. The people with the highest cultivation level in the past twenty years are the city lord of Beihuang City and Muyang City who died ten years ago. The genius Young City Master Mu Shaoyang has reached the fifth rank Martial King. However, five years ago, the Young City Master was the fifth rank Martial King. With his talent, it is definitely not what it used to be now. The number one human race in the Northern Wilderness should be him! As for the Immortal Well, it’s true that no one has ever seen it!”
"Captain Yao, you just said that the human race is the best, do you mean that there are other races that can also practice martial arts? Also, since the young city lord came to Luoxia Mountain to practice, the person who taught him to practice should be better than him. Gao, how can he be the number one human race in the Northern Wilderness?"
"Uh..." Yao Kai looked confused and slightly embarrassed, "This..., uh, Brother Shao, let you do the talking."
Shao Bing didn't refuse, "Miss An doesn't know something. The world only found out about the existence of an extraordinary person in Luoxia Mountain five years ago. Before that, it was just speculation. But all extraordinary people have not come to the world. It’s a matter of fact. So no matter how high or low their cultivation level is, it has nothing to do with the secular world.”
"Oh, so that's it." An Ruoxi finally understood the general idea, thought about it and asked again:
"Then City Master Mu Shao, isn't he also practicing in the mountains? Why does Beihuang have to include him in the rankings?"
Shao Bing had a troubled look on his face when he heard this, obviously saying, "Shouldn't I ask Miss An about this?"
Seeing this, Yao Kai, who is naturally straightforward and free-spirited, laughed, "Miss An, Brother Shao, it's hard to say this clearly."
"What's not good to say?"
"Miss An, what do you think? The young city master is young and talented, and has not married yet. I originally thought that if he went to the mountains to practice, he would not be involved in the world of mortals. But now Miss An is going to look for him. I heard Brother Shao say that this is the young city master's intention. Miss An can tell at a glance that she is a noble lady and a rich lady, and she and the Young City Lord are just like a talented man and a beautiful woman. So, can the Young City Lord be regarded as a person who does not care about worldly affairs? So he must be regarded as a worldly person. "
After hearing what Yao Kai said, An Ruoxi finally understood and thought: So they thought they had that kind of relationship with Mu Shaoyang. It's strange to say that my skin was not so good when I was in that world before. After coming to this world, for some reason, not only did the fine lines and pores on my skin disappear, but it got better and better. Could it be that Is it because I didn’t use those skin care products and cosmetics?
Yao Kai saw that An Ruoxi seemed to be deep in thought after hearing what he said. He felt a little strange about her straightforward temperament, so he asked: "Isn't Miss An a friend of the young city lord? Could it be that she doesn't know much about martial arts?" ?”
When Yao Kai asked, An Ruoxi came to her senses, but she didn't know how to answer. She couldn't say that she was not from this world.
Shao Bing saw that she was in embarrassment and quickly helped to rescue her, "Brother Yao, I think Miss An grew up in a boudoir and knows very little about the outside world. This is her first time going out, so she doesn't know many things. It’s also reasonable.”
"Oh, I'm sorry, Yao is so stupid that he forgot that Miss An is a lady, not a member of the world."
Seeing that the careless man in front of her was still a little shy, An Ruoxi smiled politely and said, "Captain Yao's words are serious. I need to trouble Captain Yao to explain."
"Brother Shao, I'm a rough guy and I'm not very good at expressing myself. You should introduce me to Miss An."
Shao Bing could only say that it was difficult, so An Ruoxi generally understood the things about the realm of martial arts.
In Xuanwu Continent, martial arts is the most respected.
Cultivation of martial arts means mastering the method of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and turning it into true energy that is stored in the Dantian to gain a kind of power. This power is called internal force, also called internal strength.
The Dantian is the container for practicing internal strength. The higher the quality of the container, the more things it can hold. As a container, the quality of Dantian varies from person to person, and this is natural.
The true energy stored in the Dantian can be condensed into seas of energy of varying degrees through compression. People with naturally strong Dantian can hold more Qi, and the density of the Qi sea will be greater, making it inexhaustible when used.
At present, most martial arts realms are divided according to the level of internal strength. Generally speaking, martial arts practitioners that people can see can be divided into warriors, martial masters, martial kings, and martial emperors from low to high. Each realm is divided into grades one to nine.
Since practicing Qigong is a way to speed up the practice of Qi and increase the concentration of the Qi sea, the more Qi there is, the greater the density, and the greater the pressure. Therefore, once the Dantian can no longer hold the true energy, the absorption of true energy has to be stopped, and the level of martial arts cultivation will reach a bottleneck. Currently, the bottleneck for most martial cultivators is the Martial Emperor. But in fact, the end point of martial arts cultivation is far more than the Martial Emperor.
The realm above the Martial Emperor is rarely mentioned, because countless people who practice martial arts have stayed at this realm for most of their lives. Many peerless geniuses forcibly improve their skills in order to break through the limit, but the result is always death from bursting of the Dantian.
But there are occasional exceptions!
Because of differences in talents, different cultivation methods and growth directions, or favorable weather, place, people, and other factors, those who break through to the realm of the Martial Emperor are all famous in the mainland.
It is said that to break through Queen Wu is to enter the realm of Lord Wu, and legend has it that this realm is the threshold for cultivating immortality.
The authenticity of the theory of cultivating immortals is still unknown, but after the human race breaks through to Wujun, they can embark on another path of martial arts cultivation: body training and weapon training, also known as body training and weapon training separately!
Although these two kinds of training are also expanded on the basis of internal strength training, their strength is a qualitative leap.
Body cultivation, as the name suggests, is the cultivation of the body; weapon cultivation is the cultivation of weapons.
The assistance within a martial artist's Dantian is called true energy or internal force, while the exercises and martial arts learned are considered external force. Body cultivation and weapon cultivation are the sublimation of external forces. Of course, these external forces need to be supported by internal forces.
When a martial artist's internal strength reaches the bottleneck, that is, after reaching the peak of the Martial Emperor, the only way to improve his strength is to cultivate external strength. The cultivation of external force is body cultivation or weapon cultivation.
However, it has been confirmed by countless ancestors that the race on the mainland that is good at physical training and weapon training is not the human race. In other words, the human race can only practice physical training and weapon training after breaking through Queen Wu, and some races are even equivalent to human warriors. You can practice now. Therefore, although the human race occupies most of the land on the continent, the total land area occupied by other races is less than half of the human race, but it is enough to threaten the human race's position on the continent.
Like the barbarians in the northern part of the Northern Wilderness who can control animals, their natural advantage is physical cultivation.
In the south, the Warcraft family is also naturally suitable for physical cultivation, and the dark race is the leader in weapon cultivation.
Generally speaking, physical practitioners will greatly increase defense and strength, so they are basically invincible in close combat at the same level; weapon practitioners mainly increase speed and attack power, and defense is a weak point, so they are mostly long-range attacks and are good at sneak attacks and assassinations. . Human martial arts cultivators can be called Qi practitioners. However, under normal circumstances, the defense and strength of Qi practitioners are not as good as those of Physical practitioners, and their attack and speed are not as good as those of Weapon practitioners. However, whether it is Qi training, physical training or weapon training, the division of realms is not much different.
Muyang City is far away from the barbarians of the Northern Wilderness, and the human race is at odds with them. Unless the entire Northern Wilderness falls, there will be no barbarians with physical cultivation, let alone the Warcraft family and the dark race with weapon cultivation in the south of the continent. .
So generally speaking, the human race who are basically not on the north-south border may have never seen body cultivation and weapon cultivation in their lifetime or even several generations.
"I didn't expect Brother Shao to know so much about martial arts. On the other hand, although we live in Beimo City, which is closest to the barbarians all year round, we didn't know that the barbarians could actually practice physical education. It's really embarrassing for us!"
"Brother Yao is serious. In fact, I learned about it by luck in the army. Back then, when we had to fight the barbarians, everyone who led the team received training, mainly to know ourselves and the enemy." Shao Bing saw that Yao Kai was belittling himself and quickly explained.
"No wonder, I said that I have been in Beimo City for nearly ten years, and I have fought with barbarians not only a hundred but dozens of times, and I didn't even know that barbarians have physical training. And Brother Shao, you know so well that in the original army, With such information, it seems that the country is worthy of being a country, and the information collection is really amazing!"
Shao Bing nodded in disbelief, and An Ruoxi on the side asked: "Captain Shao, what is the name of our country? How many countries are there on the mainland?"
Shao Bing was a little curious when he heard it. He didn't expect that a weak woman like An Ruoxi would care about this. After all, she was the one who asked about the martial arts realm just now, but he still told her with a smile.
"Our country is named Da Zhou!"
