Are there experts pulling the vitality from the sky down to the ground? Sensing the wave of witchcraft released by Qin Yi dozens of miles away, Chen Zonghua felt a shiver in his heart. He knew that this person should be a strong witchcraft expert in the Sixth Qi, and he thought of the recent King Yu Festival. Lan

As a descendant of the archery skills of Hou Yi who usurped the Xia Dynasty, I went to Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy to have a competition at this sensitive time. I wouldn't have a fierce conflict with others, right?

However, perhaps it was under such circumstances that he could see through the hidden strength of the Yue people under the threat of Wu and make a proper decision on whether to cooperate.

Thinking of this, Chen Zonghua showed an expectant smile on his face. The aura around him blended in with the simple bow behind him, making it look extremely deep and distant. The outer surface of the bow trembled slightly, and "Kun Yang" lit up. These two mysterious seal characters.

The turtle stepped on the soles of his feet and suddenly flew into the sky. The ape man was taken aback by the flying turtle. He hurriedly rolled several times in the air, and instantly tore the bamboo sticks in his hands into pieces with his aura and woven them into a long rope. , threw the harness onto a boulder by the lake, and landed without any injuries.

After saying hello to Rui Xi, Zhao Qing walked outside with the ape man who had changed his new bamboo stick. Along the way, he saw many wizards who were catching the fallen livestock, turtles and fish and performing spells.

These wizards have strong or weak auras. Most of them wear feather crowns, cut their hair in buns, green robes or five-color animal skins, hold magical instruments made of bronze, oracle bones, and jade in their hands, and wear mysterious snake-shaped earrings. The colorful bird pattern ornaments give people a luxurious and unique feeling. Lan

During the process of casting the spell, the vitality of the heaven and earth near them also changed, and a large number of simple and profound runes appeared. Some of them formed the totem forms of doves, dragons and snakes, which represented the wizard's driving and communication between heaven and earth. The divinity and power of heaven and earth.

It was the first time that he saw so many wizards and complicated witchcraft. On the way out of King Yu's ancestral temple, Zhao Qing couldn't help but think deeply and recalled his understanding of witchcraft:

In the current world, there are many paths to practice before the Six Qi Realm, such as strength, Qi refining, and elixir transformation. However, after breaking through to the Six Qi Realm, they basically reach the same goal through different paths. "Qi, the path of "taking advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and controlling the differentiation of the six qi".

Among them, it can be subdivided into three branches: Qi Refining Immortal Dao, Qi Refining Martial Arts, and Qi Refining Witch Dao.

According to legend, when the Yellow Emperor perfected the practice methods that are popular in today's world, he also improved the witchcraft that mainly relied on the gods in ancient times into a route that was biased towards refining Qi;

It is no longer a state of having no ability and having to borrow power from the gods. Instead, it uses special methods to simulate the imprint left by the gods, using itself as the source of witchcraft and mana, and working with monks from other routes in the "Six Qi" realm. The practices are very similar.

In Zhao Qing's view, this seems to be changing the object pointed by the wizard from the real ancient gods to the existence in the people's imagination, making it conceptual and controllable. Lan

Of course, compared with the ancient witchcraft that can borrow the power of gods and have a higher limit of combat power at the same level, the newly born qi-refining witchcraft took an extremely long time to achieve the success of Zhuanxu's "Jedi Tiantong" and Dayu's system. After the events such as "The God of Mountains and Rivers", he gradually replaced the former.

"Xia Dao respects orders, serves ghosts and respects gods and keeps them at a distance", "Yin people respect gods, lead the people to serve gods, put ghosts first and then etiquette". After Dayu and Qi popularized the witchcraft of Qi refining, in the era of Shang Dynasty, But there have been new changes.

Since Dayu established the throne of the emperors, and after Xiahou Qi imitated Kunlun and built the nine-layered heavenly capital and forged the destiny of humanity, people's faith in the ancient gods was greatly weakened, and Qi refining martial arts and Qi refining witchcraft flourished;

But by the time of Jie and Shangtang in late summer, all this changed again.

According to the martial arts classics, the reason why Shang Tang was able to overthrow the Xia Dynasty, which was guarded by destiny, was actually because he colluded with some ancient gods and used the external power of the gods to barely defeat the Xia Dynasty. It laid the root of the conflict between theocratic and royal powers in the middle and late Shang Dynasty.

As for the incident of Taikang losing his country and Houyi Hanzhuo usurping Xia, it was because there were some loopholes in the early Great Xia destiny. Taikang himself was not the only heir that Qi was optimistic about, but he went out hunting far away from the core protection area of ​​​​Destiny. Take advantage of by outsiders.

In short

, in the period of Shang Tang, the god-sacrifice witchcraft regained the upper hand. The royal power relied on the ancestral god system established by imitating the Great Xia Dynasty to check and balance the divine power, mainly gaining strength through bloody sacrifices. Both sides gave birth to many gods. A strong man in the realm of evolution. Lan

Under the background of emphasizing ghosts and respecting gods, the ancient, ancient, and medieval witchcraft and Taoism blended with each other and developed to an extremely sophisticated level. The shamanism of refining qi and the witchcraft of worshiping gods merged.

Sympathetic witchcraft, imitation witchcraft, bloodline witchcraft, soul refining witchcraft, divine witchcraft, rune witchcraft, poison witchcraft, life usurping witchcraft... In terms of middle and low-level witchcraft, it is far more advanced than before. The times are more prosperous and perfect.

But in the late Shang Dynasty, the theocratic kingship began to conflict. The Shang kings and the priestly forces no longer stood on the same line. Each spent their accumulated wealth of more than two thousand years to compete for power, and their overall strength also began to decline. Eventually, Defeated by the emerging Zhou Dynasty.

Since the Yue Kingdom is located in a remote area and has little exchanges with the Central Plains, the historical records of the development of these witchcraft are quite limited. Zhao Qing browsed some martial arts classics and roughly knew the contents.

At the same time, she also doubted that as a country founded by the descendants of Dayu, most of the classics here exalted the achievements and strength of the Xia Dynasty, and smeared Houyi, Hanzhuo, Shangtang, and the Shang Dynasty to a certain extent. .

After the fall of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Pingping quashed the rebellion launched by Wu Geng, the son of King Zhou, and replaced the status of witchcraft with ritual music and patriarchal laws. He tried to partially restore the destiny system of Xia Dynasty and combined it with the ritual and legal system to create an innovative situation.

Although it seemed to be beyond its capabilities in the end, in this era of decline in spiritual practice, it also successfully established the Zhou royal family's respected status as ordered by heaven and irreplaceable, triggering the obvious decline of witchcraft in the Central Plains region. Lan

In today's Wu, Yue, and Chu regions, witchcraft practice is usually divided into three levels: shamans, sorcerers, and wizards, corresponding to Yin Jin, Yang Jin, Hua Jin, Gang Jin, Shen Jin, and the Six Qi Realm, and "Wizard" is used as a general term. .

"Witches" can only perform short-range, less mysterious low-level witchcraft; "Sorcerers" have begun to practice the power of the soul, can initially communicate with the gods of heaven and earth, and can perform long-distance and larger-scale witchcraft;

"Wizards", that is, witchcraft monks at the Six Qi Realm level, can go to heaven and earth, call the wind and rain, interfere with and manipulate the laws of vitality, and perform all kinds of extremely mysterious and large-scale witchcraft.

In the ancient and medieval times, the real great witches and divine witches were all powerful beings who had reached the Tianyan realm. They were considered the fourth and fifth levels of wizards. They were strong enough to compete with the emperors and real gods of the world;

But in modern times, great witches and divine witches were just titles given by princes to the top wizards in the realm of six qi. They were symbolic honorifics. Their cultivation realm was far inferior to that of previous generations. Even the great masters of the six qi realms were called Qualifications to be a shaman, such as Bizhen, the contemporary shaman from Wushan Mountain in Yue Kingdom.

This is evident from the decline in the practice and status of witchcraft and the increase in the power and status of the royal aristocracy. Lan

When leaving the ancestral temple area, Zhao Qing suddenly sensed something and realized that the tall wall beside it was not just a pile of masonry and rammed earth. There was actually an extremely complex energy network running inside, forming a huge formation.

Before the realm had been broken through before, I didn't notice the specialness in it.

It was now in the afternoon. Zhao Qing sensed the special vitality that he had received in the jade space not long ago. He was not in a hurry to rush to the martial arts academy immediately. Instead, he was going to go shopping in the street market and buy some gifts to celebrate the ape. The public was promoted smoothly.

She has already regarded Monkey King as a family member. Forget it when she had little money and lived in a remote place. Now that she is wealthy and her worth is almost as much as that of some scholar-bureaucrats in the Lower Sixth Realm, she naturally begins to pay attention to things related to her family. Every big thing:

Not only do they want to celebrate the birthdays of themselves, Ruixi, and Yuan Gong, but they are also prepared to give appropriate gifts when someone in the family makes a breakthrough.

By the way, you still have to ask the ape male for his own opinion on what gifts to buy.

Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, followed the flow of people into a large and bustling shopping mall, and communicated and discussed with the ape man dressed as a human. Lan

After breaking through to Gang Jin, Yuan Gong has the ability to release Gang Qi, which is quite similar to the outward release of Zhen Qi. Naturally, he can simulate sound transmission.

Secret effect.

Relying on vibrating the air with great force, the sounds it produced were no different from those of ordinary people. Occasionally, it spoke a few words to the waiter in charge of reception at the merchant shop, but it did not attract the attention of others.

While Zhao Qing and Yuan Gong were wandering around the shopping mall, the Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy, with its towering palaces and pavilions more than ten miles away, welcomed an uninvited guest who came to challenge them.

The Zhou boss, whom Zhao Qing had met at the Wushe Gorge not long ago, glanced at the silent old wizard with an awkward expression, and then focused on a tall young man holding a bow a hundred feet away.

A moment ago, this young man who claimed to be the successor of Chu Di's marksman suddenly appeared and competed with the best among the seven or eight students in the martial arts academy. However, he all won with one move, which shocked the crowd watching.

Boss Zhou had just reached an agreement and was going to come to Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy to serve as a teacher here. When he encountered such a thing, he felt quite uncomfortable and wanted to ask the old wizard of the Six Qi Realm who was stationed next to him how to deal with it. , but didn’t know what to say for a moment. Lan

"Chen Zonghua, don't be too proud! If you rely on your age to bully your stomach uncle, the other people in Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy will teach you a lesson!"

"Hmph, the Mingzu brothers you are going to compete with next are real geniuses who can be ranked among the top five in the contemporary martial arts academy. They will definitely beat you to the ground!"

On the vast field where the two sides competed, Weiyu, the great-grandson of Sinong of the former Yue Kingdom, looked pale. He pressed his left hand on his ribs, which had an obvious fist mark on his outer robe, and held a bronze scorpion in his right hand to support his body. He shook his whole body. Shaking and shaking, he kept shouting and refused to admit defeat.

The nearby martial arts students who were also knocked down by one punch frowned, feeling that although this Weiyu was born in one of the top three richest Wei families in Yue, he really had no etiquette and education. It's a shame in front of me.

Glancing at Weiyu, who was the first to start but had the lowest cultivation level, Chen Zonghua felt a little disappointed. He felt that the strength of these young people in the realm of Huajin Gangjin was quite average. They could not even reach 30% of his strength without using the magic weapon. Can't take it.

He sighed softly and looked at a young man in his twenties who stood up and walked out from the crowd of onlookers. He noticed the light blue ancient sword hanging on his waist that connected heaven and earth.

"Wen is not talented and wants to use the power of this semi-divine weapon to fight against the "Kunyang" divine bow held by Brother Chen. "Lan

Under the gaze of onlookers, Wen Run walked steadily to the other end of the square. The long green sword suddenly unsheathed and emitted bright light. In an instant, hundreds of circles of light bloomed.

At the same time, the Gang Qi field covering a ten-foot radius around him trembled slightly, and ten illusory shadows suddenly flew out from it, embedded in the edge where the Gang Qi connected with the outside world, and quickly aroused the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qi between heaven and earth. ;

In the sky above the entire Gang Qi field, ten dark blue sword blades with a length of ten feet suddenly condensed, echoing with the blue sword tightly held in Wen Run's hand, as if they had turned into an enlarged projection of him in the vitality of heaven and earth, Feng Lei. Wails, lightning intertwined, and the air was distorted, making it look extremely terrifying.

This is the realm of "Six Fu-organs Manifesting Spirits" in the second level of Shenjin. The eleven body spirits that have been condensed can swim outside the body and blend with their corresponding yin-yang and five-element qi to form an exquisite and mysterious formation. , becoming the amplifier of the Gang Qi field in the vitality of heaven and earth.

Wen Run kept the liver body spirit corresponding to the Zhen hexagram in his body, and released the other ten body spirits to the outside, and jointly used his major "Eight Gates Xuanhuang Jin" and "Leigang Jueling Jin" to use thunder The vitality was condensed into ten vitality weapons, which served as an auxiliary weapon when attacking with the long sword in his hand.

"Finally, a real master from the martial arts academy has arrived! But this Brother Wen, are you sure you want to cross the border to compete with me?"

Looking at the astonishing power displayed by Baizhangwai Wenrun from afar, Chen Zonghua did not take off the divine weapon-level longbow on his back, but spoke calmly and told the story of his cultivation that had reached the third level of divine power. Lan

The gap between the semi-divine weapon and the divine weapon is roughly equivalent to the distance between the Bianzhu sword and the Haocaozi sword obtained by Zhao Qing. When he has not yet reached the "lower six qi" and cannot stimulate the full power of the weapon, it is not It is clear;

But between the third level and the second level of Shenjin, there is a real

There is an insurmountable gap between them. Under normal circumstances, they are not at the same level at all. Whether it is strength, speed, or resilience, there is a nearly double gap.

Although Wen Run is recognized as one of the top three talents and one of the top six masters of his generation in the Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy, Chen Zonghua can achieve a level that is better than him at the same age. How can he be a mediocre person who is easily jumped over to fight?

In the eyes of the few martial arts students who had just been defeated instantly, only Wen Gao, who was firmly ranked as the number one person in the martial arts academy and had been polishing the peak of Shenjin for five years, personally took action, could he defeat this former student with weapons at a disadvantage. The Chu people came to challenge.

At the edge of the square, the old wizard who had been silent finally raised his head, and a clear jade bead flew out of the air in his hand. In an instant, it was suspended in the sky at the center of the confrontation between Wen Run and Chen Zonghua, scattering undetectable light. Light interferes with the laws of vitality in this area.

Under the shroud of this witchcraft that has been sacrificed for many years, the outer layer of the hundred-foot-square space seems to have set up an unbreakable barrier. The active vitality has fallen into a state of silence, making it difficult to be aroused by external forces, which is equivalent to that around the arena. guardrails to protect outside spectators.

Sensing the arrangement of the old wizard next to him, the boss of Zhou secretly screamed, "Old Slippery", limiting the scope of the battlefield, which was undoubtedly quite detrimental to the long-range bow and arrow shooting skills, and it evened Chen Zonghua's advantage in weapons. Lan

At the same time, he was also thinking endlessly. Could it be that Wenrun, the son of this literary class, really has the ability to fight across borders?

With such an amazing talent, wouldn't it be that it far exceeds that of his young self who was in the veteran "Lower Six Qi" realm? This is really impossible!

After all, Chen Zonghua, who came to challenge, had obviously reached the pinnacle of his practice at the third level of Shenjin. In addition to possessing certain characteristics of the "Six Qi" realm in advance, is there any other way to gain a chance of victory?

Staring at the two talented young people in the distance, Boss Zhou felt a little sad. Then he thought of Zhao Qing, whom he met half a month ago. He felt that no matter how talented these two people were, if they were to fight her in the same place, they would definitely be defeated. Not an opponent.

He felt that although he was not as strong as him, his knowledge was broader than that of the old wizard next to him. Knowing a real genius, his mentality returned to a good state, and he became somewhat calm about changes.

"If my prediction is correct, you should have the same "Xungan Pulse Revealing Body" as your grandfather, and have awakened the corresponding bloodline magical power! "

After taking off the ancient big bow on his back, Chen Zonghua's profound gaze fell directly on Wen Run in the distance. His straightened left arm held the bow tightly, and his right arm, which was slightly longer than the left arm, bent backwards, and his thumb was clasped on the bow. There was no arrow on the gray bowstring, but he suddenly spoke. Lan

At the same time that Chen Zonghua spoke, twelve faint figures with illusory faces suddenly split out of his body, quickly shrank, merged into one, and turned into a delicate light red ring, which was put on his button. String on the right thumb.

"Bloodline magical power?!" Whether it was the Zhou boss in the distance or the martial arts students watching beside him, everyone was shocked and surprised.
