Chapter 2 Overlapping Worlds

"Brother, you should also apply to go down the mountain for training, so that you can take me with you." Jiang Miaomiao ran to Jiang Yi and encouraged him with a cute and naive look. Her eyes were cunning and it was obvious that she was up to no good.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Go to bed early if you're still sleepy." Jiang Yi tapped his sister's smooth forehead. He wanted to go down the mountain to see the world, but his father refused to let him go and wanted to drag him down with him.

Humph, he's showing off his little tricks. When he was trying to trick Erwa, the little girl had just learned to crawl!

"Brother, don't you want to go down the mountain for a walk? Take a look at what second brother wrote in the letter. It's so wonderful. There are young talents as numerous as carp crossing the river and geniuses everywhere. Let's work together to fight all the injustices and see how vast the world is." The little girl's chubby face showed endless yearning.

"I don't want to! Those who are as numerous as fish in the river are not young talents, but background boards. Those who are everywhere are not geniuses, but stepping stones. You don't have to go down the mountain to see the vastness of the world. As for injustice, can you tell what is injustice?" Jiang Yi pointed out the cruel reality to his sister.

What is a genius? What is a talent?

The most important thing about martial arts is talent, and the most important thing about understanding is the first rank. Those who can condense the true meaning of martial arts before the age of 30 are true geniuses. Below the first rank, it all depends on background, which is too watered down.

Erwa is the son of the North Tower Master of the Mengshen Sect, one of the ten major sects in the Chongming Realm, so he is a hero and a genius!
Even though Jiang Bai reached the second level at the age of eighteen, if he could not reach the threshold of the true realm of martial arts, then ten years later, twenty years later, he would still be a second level until his death.

"Hateful!" Jiang Miaomiao turned away angrily.

"Okay, if you want to go down the mountain to play, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but not now! Let's go, don't keep mother waiting for too long."

Through the shadows of bamboos, you can see the towering North Tower at a glance.

This courtyard is just behind his house. It was built for meditation. It is like spring all year round on a mountain with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. It is all due to the magic of the two towers. The invisible power also blocks the harsh mountain wind. Everyone knows that the two towers and the bridge are treasures, but they are not very clear about their functions.

Jiang Yi also looked through the historical records of the Mengshen Sect, but did not find any clues. He only knew that the two towers and one bridge were left behind by the founder of the sect when he broke through the boundary and left.

Breaking through the boundary and leaving? Where did he go? Ascending?

Perhaps people used to think so, but it was not until ten thousand years ago, when the other two worlds overlapped with the Chongming Realm, and the war spread for thousands of years, and the blood of the strongest stained the sky and shattered the mountains and rivers, that people began to examine some ancient legends that were common sense.

We are not the only ones, there are other worlds in the void, and humans also exist in other worlds!
So where did those legendary strong men go after breaking through the realm and leaving? Does the higher level world really exist?

The two worlds that overlap with the Chongming Realm are called the "Sword Realm" and the "Prison Soul Realm". The Sword Realm focuses on swordsmanship and is also dominated by humans. Apart from the different training systems, there is not much difference from the Chongming Realm.

The Hell Soul Realm focuses on the soul, and its methods are strange and hard to guard against. Even if one loses the physical body, one can continue to survive as a soul. It is very different from the Chongming Realm in every aspect.

The martial arts of Chongming Realm are very pure, based on the physical body. Before the third rank, it is a process of constantly tempering the body. The strength is very strong, and the defense is also very strong, but there is no long-range means of attacking the enemy, and it cannot fly. The third rank of true qi transformation can barely fly, but the speed is average. The release of the qi has a certain long-range attack ability, but it is far inferior to the sword domain sword cultivator who can fly a thousand miles, and it is also inferior to the soul of the prison world cultivator. Jiang Yi's summary of martial arts is one word, reckless!

Thick skin and strong flesh, the cultivators from the other two realms will suffer more defeats than wins if they get close to them. The second-grade cultivator can regenerate severed limbs, while the first-grade cultivator condenses the true meaning of martial arts for an all-round improvement, and can kill you even with a blood transfusion.

But the martial arts system also has a fatal flaw. The soul is too weak in the early stage. It is useless to have a strong body defense when you only start to contact the soul from the first level. The soul is not completely destroyed. When the three realms just overlapped, Chongming Realm suffered a great loss because of this. The disciples who were cultivated with great effort were often killed by a soul spell. Fortunately, warriors above the first level have almost no weaknesses, which can stabilize the situation of the three pillars.

After thousands of years of war, everyone has been learning from each other to make up for the shortcomings of their own systems. Chongming Realm martial arts has begun to develop more skills while ensuring a solid foundation. The weaknesses of the soul in the early stage are made up by treasures. The term "equipment refiner" was introduced from the sword domain. In the past, Chongming Realm only knew how to forge weapons and armor, stack physical attacks and physical defenses, and never looked back on the road of recklessness.

Because of the world war, the status of weapon refiners has risen rapidly, until the forging system of Chongming World was merged. Now, as long as they have the conditions, almost everyone has a soul defense treasure.

Jiang Yi's martial arts realm barely reached the fourth level, but his cultivation realm was unclear. All those below the prehistoric immortals were called mortals! From this point, it can be seen that he had worked hard to cultivate for sixteen years, but he had not yet entered the door.

At this point, Jiang Yi's martial arts could not be practiced for the time being. He had no true qi. What he cultivated in the practice of the Tao was the true essence, which would be transformed into the immortal essence after becoming an immortal. Both belonged to the category of "qi", but there were still subtle differences. In the end, the essence, qi, and spirit were perfect, and the three returned to one. The result was the same, but the process could not be taken into account.

It was a pity that he didn't inherit any Taoist skills, otherwise it would be much easier, he could directly practice the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills, or absorb the essence of martial arts to achieve the goal of taking both into account. But now... there was no other way, he could only temporarily give up martial arts, focus on cultivation, and work hard every day to earn the pitiful cultivation points.

So far, he has cultivated the three elements of essence, energy and spirit. He uses his spirit to control his body and master his true energy. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is invincible at the same level.

"By the way, let me give you a toy." On the way, Jiang Yi threw the beggar's version of the five-colored stone to his sister.

"Oh, it's so beautiful!" The little girl held the five-colored stone in her hands, her eyes shining.

"Not only is it beautiful, it's also a hidden weapon. I'll teach you how to use it."

The Chongming Realm calls the treasures made by the weapon refiners "treasures", which is the ancient name used in the Hell Soul Realm, "Soul Weapons", and the Sword Realm "Divine Weapons". Although the names are different, everyone has tacitly unified the classification for thousands of years, from low to high, divided into level one to level nine, and above level nine is the best.

After all, the Five-light Stone is an offensive hidden weapon. No matter how fast or hidden it is, it still depends on its lethality. In terms of lethality, this beggar version of the Five-light Stone can only be considered a second-level treasure at best. If it targets a fourth-level warrior, let alone being fatal, it can't even cause serious injury.

For this beggar's version of the Five-Colored Stone, the formula of "speed equals power" does not seem to apply. Jiang Yi also tried to throw it directly with his own strength, but the result was even worse.

The method of controlling the five-light stone is very simple. As long as there is "qi", it does not require any high-end skills, and the consumption is extremely low. However, in a blink of an eye, Jiang Miaomiao has been able to play all kinds of tricks, and Jiang Yi sighed again, this thing is indeed more suitable as a toy.
