After returning from Manluo Kingdom, Xiao Zhi did not go out again, but stayed in the depths of the sea and continued his cultivation.
His major is still [Dharma Appearance of the Mighty Heavenly King].
While practicing the [Dharma of the Mighty Heavenly King], he is also practicing [All Thoughts Unify], studying the [Xuanshui Knife], and continuing to comprehend his water law.
The end point of the law of water is not the perfection level, but the great perfection level.
I don’t know how many years have passed since I started practicing, and more than half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
In more than half a year, a lot of things happened.
Demon Demon Li Kuo has made a breakthrough. His Ice and Snow Law has finally broken through from Xiaocheng level to Dacheng level, and his strength has greatly increased!
After the breakthrough, even if his original magical power has not yet been cultivated, his combat effectiveness can reach the level of the top first god.
During this period, the Dachang world where Xiao Zhi lived was prosperous.
More and more players have successfully overcome the tribulation and become foundation-building monks, golden elixir monks, and Nascent Soul monks. There are more than ten Nascent Soul players, and the rules have broken through from the entry level to the minor level.
After Lu Zhong's Law of Illusion broke through to the Dacheng level, Zhao Yan seemed to be stimulated. He was no longer active in the disaster scenes in the real world, but went to the chaotic place deep in the dangerous area of Blind Cang Mountain.
He went into seclusion to practice his space laws.
As for the disasters in the real world, someone will have to deal with them.
As time goes by, the number of Nascent Soul players in the Dachang world where Xiao Zhi lives has become more and more.
As the number of powerful players continues to increase, Xiao Zhi no longer needs to worry about minor disasters that occur once a month, or even major disasters that occur once a year.
In more than half a year, Xiao Zhi followed King Liusha to the world of Sumeru to compete for the seven-color treasure.
The result was again in vain.
Last time, he teamed up with the Quicksand King and managed to kill the Mimic and get the treasure, but he was later amputated.
This time, they didn't even touch the Mimic, and the treasure was taken away.
The person who took away the treasure this time was another powerful player who was unfamiliar to Xiao Zhi. His strength should have reached the level of high-level gods. Intermediate gods such as Xiao Zhi were not his opponents at all, or they would be killed.
, or give up the treasure hunt and watch the other party take the treasure away.
After this battle, Xiao Zhi also realized a reality, that is: a god like him should not imagine that he can win the treasure, because it is basically impossible.
Those who are qualified to come here to participate in the treasure hunt are basically the regional hegemonic teams in each region. Who doesn’t have magic skills?
Especially those older overlords in the world, who have not armed themselves to the teeth with magic?
In terms of magic, everyone is almost the same, and when one's own side is even at a disadvantage, the level of cultivation becomes particularly important.
If you want to win the seven-color treasure, you must have the strength of a high-level god.
As for mid-level gods like him and the Quicksand King, the probability of winning the treasure cannot be said to be impossible, but just like winning the lottery, the probability is astonishingly low.
Not only was Xiao Zhi frustrated in his attempt to seize the treasure, he also made little progress in his cultivation during the past half year, whether it was the [Dharma of the Mighty Heavenly King] he majored in, or the law of water he practiced, [All Thoughts Return to One]
], [Xuan Shui Knife], these all seem to be standing still.
Although there was no progress, Xiao Zhi was not impetuous and was still practicing hard day after day.
Because he has always felt that no matter what he cultivates, it all depends on accumulation. Only when he has accumulated enough can he accumulate more and more, and when he accumulates more and more, it will be the day when his realm will be broken through.
On this day, Xiao Zhi practiced silently in the deep water of the sea as usual.
What he was practicing at this time was [All Thoughts Returned to One].
He condensed thousands of clones in one breath, and these thousands of clones all transformed into piranhas and divided into two groups of piranhas, fighting fiercely in the deep water.
Each of these piranhas looks extremely alive and indistinguishable from the real thing. When fighting, they also appear to be extremely flexible and not stiff at all.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have thought that so many fish were condensed and controlled by one person.
Just when these piranhas were fighting fiercely, Xiao Zhi suddenly changed his expression slightly and felt something calling him.
Suddenly, the piranhas that were fighting fiercely in front of Xiao Zhi's eyes all froze in place.
With a thought, Xiao Zhi separated out a ray of spiritual thought. This ray of divine thought instantly crossed a long distance and established a connection with his divine clone stationed in the dangerous area of Lingyun Mountain.
Deep in the dangerous terrain of Lingyun Mountain, the water surface of a pool fluctuated, and a humanoid figure stood out from it.
When this humanoid figure jumped out of the water, it suddenly took on color. It was the clone Xiao Zhi.
At this time, there was already a person standing on the surface of the pool. It was King Yan. To be precise, he was a spiritual clone of King Yan stationed here.
"King Yan, what do you want from me?" the clone Xiao Zhi said with a smile.
The clone King Yan smiled and said: "Brother Xiao Zhi, in two days, the new guard mission will begin. Before leaving, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Xiao Zhi was startled when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Go ahead, I wish you all smooth sailing and full harvest."
"Okay." King Yan heard this and nodded with a smile.
After saying a few more words, King Yan left.
After Xiao Zhi withdrew this ray of spiritual thought from his clone, he seemed a little silent.
The guard mission is about to begin again.
‘I hope Qingyuan World can go smoothly this time and no more people will die,’ Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
After thinking about things silently in the deep water for a while, Xiao Zhi waved his hand gently, and the sound-transmitting jade talisman that belonged to him appeared out of thin air in front of his eyes.
The sound transmission jade talisman soon shimmered, and the voice of his information specialist came from it: "Zhi Shen, what are your orders?"
Xiao Zhi said: "How is Lu Zhong's situation now?"
The voice belonging to the information specialist said: "Mr. Lu Zhong's soul has been perfected and his willpower has been sharpened. He can kill the soul at any time."
Xiao Zhi pondered for a while and said: "I gave him more than half a year to prepare for the soul killing. Thinking about it, it is almost time. You inform Lu Zhong and let him prepare. Three days, no, ten
After a few days, I will protect him and help him kill his soul."
"Okay, let's go and notify Mr. Lu Zhong right away," said the voice belonging to the Information Commissioner.
After ending the communication with the information specialist, Xiao Zhi thought again and established contact with his Yuanlong clone.
When a ray of Xiao Zhi's spiritual thoughts crossed a long distance and entered Yuan Long's body, what he saw was a vast white scene.
At this time, Yuanlong's clone was flying in a thick layer of clouds, swinging its tail.
Below, there is an endless stretch of primitive mountain forest, with miasma everywhere and strange beasts running rampant.
In the mouth of the Yuanlong clone, which is full of fangs, there are several players sitting cross-legged at this time. The leader is a peak Yuanying player. He looks like he is in his early thirties and has a calm breath. He is leaning forward, from
Yuanlong's clone poked its head out of its bloody mouth, looking down at the vast land below, its eyes shining brightly.
Behind him, several players were standing or sitting, including Nascent Soul players, Golden Elixir players, and even two middle-aged foundation-building players who looked to be in their early fifties.
Hu Yang was not among them.
Hu Yang has been separated from Yuan Long's clone for several months.
Like Zhao Yan, he is also practicing in seclusion.
Zhao Yan is impacting the Dacheng-level law of space, and he is impacting the Dacheng-level law of gravity.
In just an instant, Xiao Zhi successfully read the memory of Yuanlong's clone during this period.
This is the deep forest in the Dayan Kingdom.
A player adventure team directly under the headquarters of the Army of All Creatures is leading two experts who specialize in dangerous areas and extreme areas. They are looking for various treasures of heaven and earth, and rare treasures in this extreme area.
And his Yuanlong clone was playing the role of a thug and bodyguard at this time.
With it accompanying you, no matter whether it is dangerous places or remote areas, the danger will be greatly reduced, and there will be almost no danger at all.
This team's trip can be regarded as a scientific expedition.
And this was also approved by Xiao Zhi.
Two days later, Xiao Zhi's information specialist took the initiative to contact Xiao Zhi and reported to him: "Zhi Shen, just now, the Qingyuan Empire has been blocked and covered by a wall of air. A new round of Qingyuan world has begun.
The guard mission has begun again."
"I know." Xiao Zhi nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.
"When the blockade outside the Qingyuan Empire is lifted, remember to notify me as soon as possible."
"OK."
In a flash, a few days passed.
In the chaotic land deep in the dangerous areas of Blind Cang Mountain.
Xiao Zhi came here, and Lu Zhong came with him.
Lu Zhong looked obviously nervous.
Xiao Zhi glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Don't be too nervous. If you are too nervous, it will only make your condition worse, which will affect the success rate of soul slaying."
"Yes, I know." Lu Zhong nodded. He took several deep breaths and finally seemed less nervous.
The space fluctuated, and Zhao Yan's figure appeared not far from Lu Zhong.
After Xiao Zhi said a few words to Lu Zhong, he turned to look at Zhao Yan and said, "What are you doing here, not practicing?"
Zhao Yan chuckled and said, "Brother Zhi, I'm just tired of practicing. I just came over to take a look out of curiosity."
"Zhao Yan, long time no see." Lu Zhong looked at Zhao Yan and said with a smile.
"Yeah, long time no see." Zhao Yan came over, patted Lu Zhong on the shoulder, and said, "Come on, you have to believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to successfully slay the soul."
"Yes, I will definitely be able to kill the soul successfully." Lu Zhong nodded, his face full of determination.
Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Zhi again and asked, "Brother Zhi, why did you choose this place as the place where Lu Zhong kills his soul?"
Xiao Zhi glanced at him and said: "This is Yu Xuzi's suggestion. Yu Xuzi said that this chaotic land is the most suitable place for killing souls in Dachang Kingdom."
After a pause, he continued: "According to Yu Xuzi, in fact, the most suitable place for soul slaying is the chaotic space in the space crack. If you slay souls in that chaotic space, the probability of the soul slayer's success will be
Greatly improved, but my strength is not enough, so I can only settle for the second best and kill Lu Zhong's soul in this chaotic land."
"The most suitable place for soul slaying is actually the chaotic space in the space crack?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression on his face.
Then he suddenly realized and said: "Indeed...if you think about it carefully, the chaotic space in the space crack is indeed the best place to kill the soul. After all, our soul is inextricably linked to the outside world there.
, will become very weak, and is indeed suitable for killing souls."
"That's right." Xiao Zhi nodded.
As he spoke, he waved his hand, took out a small pocket stove, and threw it forward.
After this small pocket furnace was thrown by Xiao Zhi, it rose up in the wind and soon turned into a huge alchemy furnace several feet high, which was the Dutian Xuansha furnace.
The stove lid was opened, Xiao Zhi looked at Lu Zhong and said, "Go in."
Lu Zhong nodded solemnly, then stepped forward, and with a flash of his body, he entered the furnace of the Xuanxuan Evil.
Immediately, Xiao Zhi also entered it, and soon after, the demon Li Kuo also entered it.
Then there was a bang, the furnace lid was closed, and the Dutian Xuansha furnace floated up from the ground, suddenly shrinking in size and becoming only the size of a watermelon, slowly rotating in mid-air.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yan let out a sigh and said, "Brother Zhi has already gone in, hasn't he? Who is controlling this alchemy furnace operation?"
As soon as he said these words, a voice said: "Stop talking nonsense and go practice quickly. The relationship between you and Lu Zhong is not shallow. If you stay here, it will affect his soul-killing."
Zhao Yan was startled when he heard this. He looked over quickly and saw a person sitting cross-legged not far from Dutian Xuansha Furnace. This person was Xiao Zhi!
"Brother Zhi, I didn't expect you to have a clone outside." Zhao Yan said with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and go practice quickly." The clone Xiao Zhi glared.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right now, I'll go right now." Zhao Yan had no choice but to leave here.
After Zhao Yan left, his clone Xiao Zhi continued to sit with his eyes closed, protecting Lu Zhong outside the Dutian Xuansha Furnace.
Time passes minute by minute.
An hour passed in a flash, then two hours, three hours...
During this period, Zhao Yan appeared twice, but he did not come close, he just watched from a distance.
Time is still passing by minute by minute.
It wasn't until almost a day passed that bright and dazzling seven-colored rays of light bloomed from the Tianxuansha Furnace.
This colorful light can be clearly seen in the entire chaotic land.
Just a second later, outside Dutian Xuansha Furnace, the air fluctuated, a figure emerged out of thin air, and Zhao Yan appeared again.
"Is this a success?" Zhao Yan had a hint of joy on his face.
A few seconds later, the lid of the Dutian Xuansha Furnace opened, and several figures stepped out. One of the figures was still glowing with bright and dazzling seven-color light, and it was Lu Zhong.
A few more seconds passed before the colorful light on Lu Zhong's body slowly subsided.
Lu Zhong looked exhausted but also excited. He bowed deeply to Xiao Zhi and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhi, for protecting me. If you hadn't protected me, I would have been..."
Xiao Zhi smiled lightly and said: "It's good if you succeeded. Congratulations on becoming a demigod. You are only one step away from becoming a god."
As he spoke, he waved his hand gently, and a jet-black jade token appeared out of thin air and floated towards Lu Zhong.
