Chapter 48 Dead, but not completely dead
The blazing underground fire enveloped the furnace of heaven and earth, and the divine patterns were looming, and the sound of golden swords clashing could be heard faintly. A wisp of flame of a different color floated in the underground fire, and in a blink of an eye, the flame turned into Jiang Yi with five hearts facing the sky.
Surrounded by the underground fire, Jiang Yi slowly opened his eyes. This retreat lasted less than three months, but the gains were enormous. It allowed him to have a deeper understanding of the laws of fire, and correspondingly, it also gave him stronger control over the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar.
“This is indeed a shortcut!”
The feeling of being immersed in the long river of laws is very mysterious and intoxicating.
He believed that as long as he continued in this step-by-step manner, as his grasp of the power of the law deepened, he would eventually understand what "Tao" was!
Jiang Yi looked at the furnace of heaven and earth in front of him. A batch of treasures were being refined in the furnace. The furnace had been sealed six years ago. Most of the sect's ninth-level treasures and top-grade treasures came from here.
Unfortunately, the Heaven and Earth Furnace is the culmination of the Dream God Sect's divine pattern system, and he cannot use it to refine magic weapons. He needs to have his own refining furnace.
Jiang Yi's figure disappeared in the underground fire, as if it had been burned to ashes.
Nine-star martial arts arena, second-grade arena.
Seven days!
Seven full days!
Wei Chengming remained as unmoved as a mountain in the face of the tidal wave of round-robin battles. More than three thousand contestants had fallen at his hands, and his momentum not only did not drop at all, but continued to rise. This completely refreshed the cognition of all the warriors.
Is this really a warrior?
Many smart people couldn't help but think of Jiang Yi, who was also a gifted warrior. His realm could not be measured by the standards of a warrior at all. It was said that the sect had directly banned him from participating in the Nine Palaces Martial Arts Show next year.
With a precedent, it would not be so difficult to accept another one, especially for people from other sects. They were even more suspicious. Could it be that the Mengshen Sect was cheating just to save face?
Elder Min from the South Tower, accompanied by elders from various sects, was also paying attention to the second-grade arena. The sect had hidden Wei Chengming for decades, so there was naturally a purpose for releasing him at this time.
"Elder Min, what new body-refining secret method has your sect developed?"
"Yes, the strength of this body is comparable to that of a root chakra expert at the first level of the seventh chakra of the Melting God Realm."
Thinking about the Baxia Stele which was the prize for the fourth-grade competition, they all believed that the Mengshen Sect had hidden even more powerful treasures that could assist in body training.
"Elder Min, our sect has made countless sacrifices to block the mountain gate in front of the mountain and sea battlefield in order to protect the Chongming world from the suffering of war. You can't be complacent!" The elders of the Three Saints Sect were even more direct. Lingzhou was the battlefield between the two worlds, and it became their habit to plunder benefits in the name of justice.
This has been criticized by many sects, but it has to be admitted that it is very useful. The Three Saints Sect cannot fall under any circumstances, just like the Lieyang Sect that is standing at the Molten Hell Battlefield in the north.
"The ten sects have always been of the same origin, but Junior Brother Wei's method is also a heaven-sent method. His path is difficult, and he is still in the accumulation stage. However, as long as he can take this step, he will definitely be able to summarize a set of effective body-refining methods. After all, Junior Brother Wei's heaven-sent method does not deviate from the warrior's body, which is fundamentally different from the Jiang family kid's method."
“My sect will inform all the other sects by then. I believe everyone has saved up a lot of wealth over the years, right?” Elder Min said with a smile. His meaning was very clear. It was impossible to get something for free, even for the Three Saints Sect!
After all, the Three Saints Sect was able to be promoted to the sect, and all the major sects had shed blood, not to mention that the major sects invested a lot of strength in the battlefields of the two worlds every year. The martial arts of Chongming Realm developed in this way, through various ancient searches and the summary of the Tianci warriors' own inheritance, it gradually developed into the current system.
God-given warriors are not limited to the Mengshen Sect, but are found in every sect. Even if they cannot leave behind a complete God-given inheritance, as long as they have enough strength, they can always sum up something.
People from all parties stopped talking. Elder Min had already implicitly conveyed the Dream God Sect's intention: hand over the body refining method in exchange, and you should stop staring at Jiang Yi's weapon refining method.
They have no say in this matter, but they think the sect will not refuse. After all, compared to something they can see but cannot eat, the tempting body in front of them makes them more excited.
……
Jiang Yi, who had just come out of retreat and was searching the treasury of Bailian Palace for materials in order to perfect his own refining furnace, also received news about the second-grade arena from Meng Pingkang.
"What, one against five thousand?!"
"It's a round-robin battle, not a gang fight. It's not over yet, but I went to watch yesterday, and Senior Brother Wei should be able to defend the title successfully." Meng Pingkang didn't dare to look down on the opponent just because his realm was one level lower than his. He went to watch, and even if he went up, he would still not be able to beat him!
Strangely enough, this Senior Brother Wei did enter the sect before him, but he had never met him before.
Jiang Yi's face was also full of envy. Although for him at the moment, the first-grade warriors did not pose any threat to him and it would be meaningless even if more came, but who wouldn't want to have such a strong physique?
This inevitably made him think of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art again. It was obvious that the only one who could practice the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art was Erlang Shen, and the "Lingbao Tulu" included three spiritual treasures related to Erlang Shen, the Mountain-Driving Whip, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword, and the Magic Mirror. Jiang Yi did not think that the inheritance of the Taoism's number one guardian magic skill could be obtained from spiritual treasures of this level.
On the contrary, the Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit has great hope of opening up the inheritance of the Buddhist golden body.
"By the way, Junior Brother Jiang, there are people from the Dark God Sect looking for you."
"Who is it? What do you want from me?" Jiang Yi was a little surprised. He had no friendship with the people from the Dark God Sect.
"Wu Songwen, as for the purpose, it is unclear."
The Mingshen Sect is the only sect in the entire Chongming Realm where all disciples practice the same martial spirit. Even the Yuanbao Sect, in addition to the core inheritance of [Good Luck], also masters three or five martial spirit inheritances, but the Mingshen Sect only practices [Death Domain].
Practicing the [Death Realm] martial spirit is extremely dangerous. After reaching the second level, one must first go through life and death, and the slightest mistake in this step will result in total death. Therefore, the number of disciples who die in the Underworld Sect every year due to the attempt to reach the first level is more than that of all other sects combined!
The disciples of Mingshen Sect do not follow their own paths, but only cultivate inheritance. Even so, they can still occupy one of the top ten sects and have constant friction with Mengshen Sect. This goes against the common sense of Chongming Realm.
After all, the most widely circulated saying in Chongming Realm is "The truly strong ones are those who forge their own path!"
It is said that the beginning of practicing the [Death Realm] martial arts is to maintain a little vitality in the endless death, and to reach the extreme is to cut off the last vitality. But if the last vitality is gone, isn't it the same as being dead?
In the eyes of outsiders, the martial spirit of the [Death Zone] is very contradictory, and the people of the Dark God Sect are a group of lunatics who are dead but not completely dead!
But in Jiang Yi's opinion, the martial arts of this [Death Zone] is quite high-end. Yuanbao Sect's [Good Luck] has not even touched the surface of fate, but [Death Zone] has already touched the law of death in the law of life and death.
However, cultivating the Law of Death alone is indeed extremely dangerous. If he could exchange it for a copycat version of the Book of Life and Death, it would be much easier for him to get started.
Happy Year of the Dragon! Remember to buy red underwear in your zodiac year.
