"Create a God!"
Rong Fei muttered with a strange expression.
"That's right, it was God-making. Unfortunately, he failed in the end."
Bai Zizai shrugged and said regretfully.
"However, although he failed to create a god, he used his special magical power to discover an invisible, formless but real... Qi in the meridians of the corpse.
Before his death, this god imparted his research findings to some of the wisest people in the human race at that time. After many years of research and practice, the human race has mastered the method of absorbing this energy from heaven and earth into the body, and then transforming it into a method that can be used by themselves.
Later, the human race called the Qi that had not been absorbed and transformed between heaven and earth called spiritual energy, and the energy absorbed into the body that could be freely controlled was called spiritual power. At this point, the human race had its first cultivation method.
Then many years passed, and the first batch of human wise men also had differences among themselves. Part of them continues to study how to absorb and transform spiritual energy more efficiently. The other part is to trace back to the source, hoping to recreate God's ability - supernatural power through the study of spiritual power.
The group of people who studied spiritual power later went to the southwest corner of the continent to establish the Qiankun Temple, while the group of people who studied supernatural powers stayed in the center of the continent and established the Great Mercy Temple. Hundreds of years later, in the mountaintop academy in the southeast corner of Lu, a great scholar realized the method of cultivating Haoran Qi, and the academy was established. A group of martial artists who mastered the art of Qi training established the Wuzong in the northwest corner of the mainland. Later, as the power of sword cultivators grew, they simply changed the name to Jiange. The human race in the northern wilderness found that they could obtain spiritual power from the flesh, flesh and soul of monsters. Because of this practice, people's bodies would undergo some changes and their temperaments would become more violent. The human race in the Central Plains region was repulsed. The people in the north called themselves the demon clan and built a demon temple in the northeast corner of the mainland.
More than a thousand years later, the method of cultivation has been studied to the extreme. Several great monks suddenly broke through the void and ascended one day.
Only then did people realize that it could still be like this.
So since then, the human race who have mastered the method of cultivation have taken the ultimate goal of ascending to immortality and called themselves immortal cultivators. It was not until he was arrested and punished by the gods more than 800 years ago that he had no choice but to remove the word "immortal" and change it to "monk".
Ahem, cough, cough, my throat is dry after talking so much all at once. Why don't Rong, Captain, make the guests a cup of tea to soothe their throats? "
Bai Zizai complained after coughing a few times. .z.br>
Rong Fei walked to the table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of cold tea and handed it to Bai Zizai.
"Hey! What kind of tea is this? It tastes like nothing I've ever tasted before."
After gulping down the full cup of tea, Bai Zizai muttered.
Rong Fei opened the lid of the teapot, and a faint musty smell hit his nose. He glanced at the black and green mold floating in the pot. Rong Fei silently covered the teapot and put it back on the table.
"Having said so much, what do you want to express?"
Rong Fei asked.
"After the death of those powerful men who claimed to be gods in ancient times, their magical powers would condense into certain parts of their bodies and become magic weapons. This is how the first batch of magic weapons in the world were born. Moreover, in ancient times, there were geniuses, treasures, rare birds and animals, etc. Spiritual objects are no longer difficult to find nowadays. As long as you can find any of them in the ancient ruins, hey, hey, then you are prosperous. If you are lucky enough to find a few of them, tsk tsk tsk, you can wake up from your dream with a smile."
Bai Zi said with an exaggerated look.
"Since there are so many coveted treasures in the ancient ruins, there must be many people coveting them, including some great monks from the earth or heaven realm. Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"
"This... this... hahahaha, I just remembered it when you reminded me. I forgot to mention some things just now. The ancient times have been more than five thousand years ago. In such a long time, there were actually about eighty or ninety ancient ruins appear in the world.
But you also know that no matter what good things are left out for too long, some unpredictable changes may occur. For example, food will go rancid, water will become smelly, and bones will turn into dust.
When the first few ancient ruins appeared, it was indeed as you said, attracting powerful people in the world to flock to them. Unfortunately, their luck was bad.
Some good things in the ruins are all broken and of little value.
Later, when ruins appeared again, these strong men were too lazy to move. After all, the Chessboard Continent is vast, and it would take a lot of time even for those who are strong in the Heaven Realm to fly in the wind, not to mention the Earth Realm and Human Realm monks who cannot fly.
I was too lazy to make the trip in vain, and I was worried that if there were really good things in the newly discovered ruins that would be taken away by others. So all the practicing sects discussed a countermeasure. Only human monks were allowed to enter and explore the ancient ruins. Earthly and heavenly monks were not allowed to enter, otherwise they would attack them in groups. Ever since, there were the first batch of people walking around the world.
Of course, today, traveling around the world is no longer just about competing for treasures in ancient ruins. There are also many tasks such as training in the world of mortals, slaying demons, selecting disciples with spiritual talents, and so on. "
"How many ancient ruins have been discovered so far?"
Rong Fei asked.
"Didn't I just say that there are about eighty or ninety people?"
Bai Zizai said vaguely.
Rong Fei crossed his arms across his chest and sneered at Bai Zizai.
"Okay, okay, I know I can't fool you. So far, a total of thirteen ancient ruins have appeared."
"How many treasures have been obtained?"
"Um... Well, as I said before, this kind of thing depends on luck. Who hasn't had three weak and six prosperous ones, right? Don't always look at me with that look, as if I'm... It’s the same as telling a lie. OK, OK, OK, you win, a total of... a total of..."
"Please speak louder, I didn't hear you clearly."
"Not a single thing."
Bai Zizai muttered very quickly.
Rong Fei was amused.
There is not even a single treasure among the thirteen ancient ruins. No wonder the great monk is not interested.
But while it's funny, I can't help but feel a little strange. Since the chance of finding treasures in the ruins is so low, well... I can't say low, it's basically zero.
Why is Bai Zizai still so interested in ancient ruins?
Seemingly understanding the confusion in Rong Fei's eyes, Bai Zizai explained.
"Although no treasures have been found in ancient ruins so far, we can't conclude that there are no new ones. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the rare event.
Therefore, all the major sects have issued death orders to those who are walking around the world within their sects. Whenever there are ancient ruins in the world, they must rush there quickly, otherwise they will be severely punished. "
"Oh, that's right. Then I wish Brother Bai a successful start in this trip."
Rong Fei cupped his hands and said.
Bai Zizai grabbed Rong Fei's arm and said anxiously.
"Don't act stupid, you know what I mean."
"Huh? What do you mean, Brother Bai?"
Rong Fei asked knowingly.
"I'm looking for your help."
"Don't make trouble. I'm just a pawn with an eighth-level cultivation. If I go, I will only cause trouble."
"I didn't say I asked you to help fight, but I wanted to use your resourcefulness to deal with those insidious guys in Shushan and the stinky Taoist priests from Qiankun Temple."
After laying the groundwork for a long time, Bai Zizai finally revealed his purpose.
"The time when the ruins appear is variable. Sometimes not a single one appears for hundreds of years. Sometimes they appear like mushrooms after a rain, one after another.
In June last year, a ruin was discovered in Danzhou, the eastern border. Just a little over a year ago, signs of a ruin were discovered in Linzhou, the northern border. The distance between the east and the north is tens of thousands of miles, so we are really exhausted.
Last year in Danzhou, forty or fifty people from large and small sects came to the World Walk. Those in small and medium-sized sects have mediocre walking skills in the world, and the only ones who have the real ability to touch the ruins are those from the Four Ultimate Holy Lands.
Because Linzhou is close to Jiange and Demon Palace, these two sects have the most visitors in the world. We have three people in Jiang Pavilion, four people in Mo Sect, and two people each in Qiankun Temple and Shushan.
Except for a few monsters with unparalleled cultivation qualifications, most people walking around the world in the Four Ultimate Holy Lands have similar cultivation levels. At this time, the party with more people will naturally have the advantage.
But among the two people Qiankun saw, there was an evildoer. It was Murong Canghai, the elder brother of Murong Qiushui who was slapped by you. The result is that the Qiankun Temple with only two people present is actually the strongest, followed by our Jiange Pavilion, the Demon Palace third, and Shushan the weakest. "
"The Demon Palace has one more person than your Sword Pavilion, so why are they ranked third?"
Rong Fei asked.
"Hehehe, he is not talented at all, but he is also one of the monsters with unparalleled qualifications. He is just a little bit worse than Murong Canghai, so he beat the four people from the Demon Palace and ranked second, hehehe."
Bai Zizai explained quite complacently.
"But... alas! Although more than a year has passed, I still feel aggrieved thinking about it now. Those two bastards in Shushan played a dirty trick. They secretly attracted people from small and medium-sized sects to form an alliance and attacked us respectively. The three parties carried out a sneak attack. We were all injured without any precautions, and had no choice but to join forces to fight against them.
Fortunately, no treasure was found in the ruins in the end, so there was no reason to fight, and they finally dispersed. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether you can come out of the ruins alive, after all, the ants will bite the elephant to death. "
"Will the disciples of the Four Ultimate Holy Lands also fight each other to the death?"
Rong Fei asked curiously.
"Why practice if you don't fight? It's boring and hard. You want to live forever or ascend to immortality, right? Stop making trouble. Human realm monks only live thirty or forty years longer than ordinary people, more than a hundred years old. It's the end. It is said that the longest a monk in the earth realm can live is nearly three hundred years old. A monk in the heaven realm can live to be six or seven hundred years old when he reaches the peak cultivation level of the first level. The lifespan of a super-level Venerable realm is nine hundred and ninety years. Nine, just one year shy of reaching a thousand years old.
Out of a hundred monks, no more than ten can break through the seventh level and reach the realm. With good luck, at most one or two of these ten people can break through the fourth level and reach the heavenly realm. In fact, most of the time the whole army is wiped out, and everyone is uniformly trapped at the fourth level peak, and finally die together.
Therefore, only those monsters with extremely unnatural talents will set the ultimate goal of practice as ascension. The rest of the people just want to live for a few more decades and enjoy themselves. It’s just that life is boring. You should always find something interesting, fun and exciting to do. And fighting is one of the most interesting things.
Besides, hehehehe..."
Bai Zizai smiled and gave Rong Fei a knowing look.
