"Follow me!" Yan Guinan, who had been silent for a long time, still made a muffled voice.
But he did not lead Cao An towards the county town, but walked further into the mountains and forests. Although he was a mechanical body, every step he took left no trace, which made Cao An anxious. Some are surprised by his mental power control. This does not just require sufficient mental power, but also requires fine and skillful control.
Integrated into every detail of one's living habits, the mechanical body itself also has an energy core, but that is not the foundation of the entire mechanical body. The foundation is the mental strength of each inhabited soul. If it is driven by the energy core alone, If so, no matter how tiny the energy is released, it will trigger a reaction from the outside world.
Cao An could see clearly that Yan Guinan did not do it deliberately. Every step he took was very casual and natural, as if it was not a mechanical body at all, but a living one. Body.
"The Zhenwu Sect has two systems. One is the me you see now, the mechanical Zhenwu system, which is also the most powerful system in the entire Zhenwu Sect. The other is the physical Zhenwu system that strictly adheres to the ancient inheritance. Currently, the physical Zhenwu system In the system, there is no one who can reach the limit of heaven and man, the strongest one is only in the realm of Five Scenery and Martial Arts."
"They are the ones suffering the most."
Cao An followed behind him. The two of them walked not very fast, leaving no trace in the snow and leaving no footprints. "Is it really that important to adhere to those things that are no longer suitable for this era? I think in the entire Gulan State, There should not be many similar believers in the ancient Zhenwu sect. Since there is a ready-made path, why not take it?"
"Because we have no choice. You should also know that Gulan State is called the Ancient Prison State. This ancient prison imprisons not only our ancestors, but also all the bloodlines of Gulan State. They are born with a slow perception of the vitality of heaven and earth. The speed of practicing the way of true energy is extremely slow, and occasionally there will be one or two extremely talented people who can reach the level of Six Scenery Heavenly Beings."
"But it's limited to this. In Gulan State, there is a saying called the limit of heaven and man, which is exactly what it says. But our bones and body are extremely good, far better than other states."
Cao An vaguely understood the reason for this, "So, you have no right to choose. It is not you who choose what kind of martial arts to follow, but your situation, which makes you choose what kind of martial arts to follow."
"That's right! But mechanical martial arts are only a temporary measure. The upper limit of a martial artist is limited to a cold iron shell. Although it breaks the limit of heaven and man, it can only go so far."
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Yan Guinan stopped and looked down.
"arrive!"
"What is this place?" As soon as he asked, Cao An noticed a large village under the cliff. It was much larger than the villages he had seen, and was comparable to a small town. The village was surrounded by bluestones. Surrounded by a high wall, there are hundreds of young soldiers parading on it.
"This is the final destination for all followers of the physical true martial arts system."
Cao An's eyesight was astonishing and could no longer be measured by ordinary people's standards. Obviously, Yan Guinan also knew this, so he brought Cao An here, but did not take Cao An into it.
At a glance, there are no less than ten thousand people in the entire village, all of them old people, with gray hair and gloomy moods.
Two points of blue light flooded into Cao An's eyes. Under his gaze, the entire village looked like dead flowers and withered trees. It was lifeless. Cao An could not imagine how such an environment was formed. .
Yan Guinan pointed far away, "Did you see that direction?"
Looking in the direction of his finger, Cao An saw a forest of steles.
"Living in the village means that their lives have come to an end. The long life is only two or three years, and the short life is just a few days. And the forest of steles behind the village is their final burial ground. New bodies are buried there every day, and new residents still live in this small village every day."
"Villages like this are spread across the entire Gulan State, with more than a hundred large and small. The oldest people in the village are no more than forty years old, while the youngest may only be in their twenties. These are all the ancient bodies The destination of the inheritors of Zhenwu.”
Cao An fell into silence. He had no specific knowledge of Zhenwu Sect, nor did he have an in-depth understanding of everything in Gulanzhou.
"I know what you are thinking. If they really give up martial arts, they can indeed live like normal people. We have indeed given up a lot, otherwise it would not be possible to form the current Gulan State. But, really living in a big city There are only a few among them, and more people live in villages without the protection of high city walls."
"If no one practices martial arts, when the beast tide comes, they will all be reduced to food for those beasts."
Cao An calmed down. He was not a person who was easily shaken. Although he was indeed touched, he believed that this was not the fundamental reason why Yan Guinan brought him here.
"So now can you tell me what you are planning?"
"Do you know the divisions of martial arts realms and the origin of the word "scape"!"
Cao An nodded, "Yes, I not only know it, but I have also stepped into the interior."
Yan Guinan didn't seem surprised, "Every person with outstanding talent in martial arts has had similar experiences. I expected you to have entered the interior. In this case, what I said about you should be very good." It’s easy to understand.”
"The goal of the joint efforts of generations of ancestors of the Zhenwu Sect is to bring the second scene of martial arts into the real world, fill it into the sea of blood, let the sea of blood reappear, and let the light of Zhenwu shine in the entire Gulan State."
"But as far as I know, the interior and reality are not the same world. How did you do it?"
"Rely on the traction formation!"
The traction array is one of the most basic formations. It is often used in some large-scale constructions to move heavy materials, and only within short distances.
Cao An frowned when he heard this, using real things to lead the illusory interior? Is he crazy, or are everyone in Zhenwu Sect crazy?
"The traction formation is just the foundation. I can't reveal the specific details to you. This is all I can tell you. I brought you here because I just hope that you can see the suffering of these physical warriors and stay out of it. As for helping? I It’s not an extravagant hope.”
Cao An smiled slightly, "I promise you, but I want to witness everything you do. Do you think it's feasible?"
"I can't make the decision on this matter by myself. If you can wait, just wait here for me. I will give you an answer after I go back and report it. Even if I don't come by then, I will send someone to inform you. In the end, It won’t be more than three days later.”
Cao An nodded without thinking, "Okay!"
Yan Guinan was stunned for a moment, "Okay, it's settled!"
