Probably more than six thousand years ago, there was a certain gap between Chen Xuan's cultivation strength and Master Shenmu at that time.
But at that time, Chen Xuan already knew that he could defeat Lord Shenmu.
Ever since the system gave Chen Xuan the reward for defeating the Hydra Demon, Chen Xuan was already in a position where he could defeat people who were several cultivation levels higher than his own.
Before defeating the Hydra demon, Chen Xuan actually couldn't do this.
Before defeating the Hydra demon, Chen Xuan was the same as anyone else in this world. The difference in cultivation level was one level, which meant that the difference was as big as a world.
So at that time, when the system asked Chen Xuan to face the Hydra demon, Chen Xuan felt that it was very, very unreasonable.
But given the situation at that time, Chen Xuan had to challenge the Hydra demon.
In fact, at that time, even Chen Xuan didn't know how he defeated the Hydra demon. The difference in strength was really too great.
The difference of one cultivation level is already a world of difference, not to mention the difference between Chen Xuan and the Hydra Demon is five cultivation levels.
But in the end, Chen Xuan actually defeated the Hydra demon.
Chen Xuan's heart was blank at that time, and his brain was also blank.
There was only some strange redness left in his eyes. It was unknown whether it was his own blood or the blood of the Hydra demon entered Chen Xuan's eyes, covering Chen Xuan's sight.
In fact, Chen Xuan at that time was basically in a state of being completely soaked in blood. Whether it was Chen Xuan's own blood or the blood of the Hydra demon, all of this blood was in Chen Xuan's body.
After defeating the Hydra demon, Chen Xuan was not sure whether the Hydra demon was dead at all, because Chen Xuan was already unconscious at that time.
Chen Xuan didn't know anything about what happened next.
Chen Xuan regained his memory again when he met Venerable Shenmu. At that time, Chen Xuan naively thought that this was really just a challenge and no one would give him that kind of reward.
It wasn't until Chen Xuan planted 500 trees that the system suddenly gave him a series of rewards.
At that time, Chen Xuan was indeed shocked. After all, there were so many rewards. At that time, Chen Xuan also felt that this thing made people feel a little bit happy.
At the same time, at that time, Chen Xuan actually knew that something was not right in his body.
But at that time, Chen Xuan only focused on talking to Venerable Shenmu and did not practice it.
After leaving the Shenmu Forest at that time, Chen Xuan immediately went to find a monster whose cultivation strength was one level higher than his own and tried it. Chen Xuan discovered at that time that his cultivation strength was indeed better than this one.
The monster's cultivation level is one level lower, but Chen Xuan's cultivation strength is not lower than this monster's at all.
It is even far beyond this monster.
This was something that made Chen Xuan feel extremely shocked and surprised. Chen Xuan never thought that at this time, he could actually defeat people or monsters that were stronger than him.
At that time, Chen Xuan went to ask the system, and the system explained: "The Hydra Demon is a test for the host. If the host can pass the test, then the host's cultivation strength will be stronger. The real strength will be
More powerful than my own level of cultivation."
"But what's the use?"
At that time, Chen Xuan still didn't know much about the good intentions of the system, so he asked the system.
"In this case, when facing someone with the same cultivation level as the host or someone with a higher level of cultivation than the host, the enemy will not be able to tell the difference, but the host will be able to tell the difference."
After Chen Xuan heard the system's words, he was suddenly in a state of enlightenment.
There are some rules in this world. In fact, they are very, very unfriendly towards people with low cultivation levels.
For example, if Chen Xuan's cultivation strength is not very strong, then he will definitely be known by other people with high cultivation strength about his cultivation level.
This point has indeed caused Chen Xuan to suffer some losses before.
After knowing this, Chen Xuan was really surprised.
I thought that resisting this hydra monster was a bad thing, but it turned out to be such a big surprise for Chen Xuan.
But Chen Xuan also knew at that time that this surprise was a surprise he deserved.
This surprise will really make Chen Xuan very happy.
Fighting against the Hydra demon really cost Chen Xuan a lot of experience.
And at that time, it was the first time that Chen Xuan felt that even if he had systematic protection, he might not be able to escape alive.
The feeling I had at that time was really very uncomfortable.
At the end, Chen Xuan even risked his own life to fight against the Hydra demon.
Fortunately, in the end, he successfully defeated the Hydra demon.
Fortunately, at the end, Chen Xuan met Lord Shenmu.
This is what surprises Chen Xuan the most. Of course, Chen Xuan is also very surprised by the rest of the rewards, but this surprise is indeed not as surprising as Venerable Shenmu.
At that time, Chen Xuan was also chatting with Lord Shenmu. The way the two of them got along was actually very strange. The two occasionally played chess, occasionally planted trees, and occasionally chatted. No matter what the situation was, the relationship between the two of them was
The atmosphere will not change.
If this does not change, then Chen Xuan and Venerable Shenmu will be very comfortable getting along with each other.
The two of them happened to have a few drinks that day, and Chen Xuan's cultivation strength improved a little.
At that time, Venerable Shenmu was talking about Chen Xuan's cultivation level that had improved very quickly. Chen Xuan was also a little drunk at the time, so he said to Venerable Shenmu: "Not only did my cultivation level improve quickly, but also
What you can't see is that my cultivation strength is actually much higher."
In this world, the strength of cultivation represents the level of cultivation, so when Chen Xuan said this, Lord Shenmu at that time actually did not believe it.
Lord Shenmu glanced at Chen Xuan, then sensed Chen Xuan's cultivation strength, and said: "Xuan boy, don't be drunk and talk nonsense. Your cultivation level represents your cultivation strength. Why?"
Maybe it’s because the cultivation strength is higher than the cultivation level?”
Chen Xuan just smiled faintly when he heard this, then looked at Venerable Shenmu and said, "Don't you still believe it? You also know that I am not an ordinary person. If this happens to me, you really don't want it."
Didn't feel any surprise."
Venerable Shenmu also knew at that time that Shen Xia was not an ordinary person, but even if he was not an ordinary person, he was also a person in this world, right?
If this point cannot be changed, then Venerable Shenmu feels that Chen Xuan will not be out of touch with this world.
At that time, Venerable Shenmu had not yet realized that Chen Xuan was not an ordinary person and what an extraordinary situation he had.
Seeing Chen Xuan sneer, Venerable Shenmu said: "Boy Xuan, I also think you are weird. Are you drunk? Although the cultivation level is said to be improved relatively quickly, but if you are like that
The top cultivation geniuses can catch up with you, so you're not at this point, are you?"
After hearing what Venerable Shenmu said, Chen Xuan knew that Venerable Shenmu definitely didn't believe him.
At that time, Chen Xuan drank the wine in his cup, then looked at Venerable Shenmu and said, "Old man, do you believe that I can defeat you right now?"
At that time, Venerable Shenmu's cultivation level was three or four levels higher than Chen Xuan's. Logically speaking, this was absolutely impossible.
This is a difference of three or four worlds. Even if Chen Xuan had the ability, he would never be able to achieve this level.
Of course, this is what Venerable Shenmu is thinking in his heart.
At that time, because Chen Xuan defeated the Hydra Demon, it was said that the time limit within which Chen Xuan could defeat someone stronger than his own cultivation level was five cultivation levels. Venerable Shenmu happened to be in this cultivation level.
is inside the stage.
But Venerable Shenmu at that time never believed in Chen Xuan.
At the beginning, Chen Xuan just wanted to have a good talk with Venerable Shenmu, because he felt that there was no need to have a duel with Venerable Shenmu.
Although in fact, Chen Xuan has always wanted to have a duel with Venerable Shenmu to see who is more powerful between the two of them.
At that time, when Chen Xuan was five cultivation levels lower than Master Shenmu's, Chen Xuan wanted to give it a try. After that, he really didn't have the opportunity to try again.
This was mainly what Chen Xuan was thinking in his heart, but after meeting Venerable Shenmu, he no longer thought this way.
It took a lot of effort for the two of them to meet once. Chen Xuan just wanted to talk more with Venerable Shenmu. At this time, Chen Xuan still wanted to talk more and didn't want to have a duel.
Who could have imagined that Venerable Shenmu would actually say this to Chen Xuan at this time.
At that time, after hearing what Chen Xuan said, Venerable Shenmu glanced at Chen Xuan, and then drank the last sip of wine in his own cup. Then Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan and said: "You boy, today is
Isn’t it that this wine is too strong and makes you start talking nonsense?”
Hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled and said: "Old man, don't you know my drinking capacity? As long as I want to get drunk, there is no wine that can make me drunk."
Indeed, Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan. When he and Chen Xuan drank before, Chen Xuan had always been like this. As long as he didn't want to get drunk, he would never get drunk.
If Chen Xuan wanted to get drunk, he would get drunk.
There is no other situation
Venerable Shenmu is indeed quite clear on this point.
It's just that Venerable Shenmu really didn't expect why Chen Xuan would be so confident.
He looked at Chen Xuan for a while, and then said: "Boy Xuan, I am three or four levels higher than you in cultivation. Are you sure what you said is not drunken talk?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan chuckled and said, "Old man, when did I ever say anything drunk to you?"
When he heard Chen Xuan's confident words, Venerable Shenmu thought for a moment, as if Chen Xuan had indeed been like this before.
Although I sometimes drank alcohol, I never said anything drunken and irrelevant.
"Then are you serious about what you said?"
"Otherwise? Why would I lie to you when I have nothing to do?"
Venerable Shenmu curled his lips when he heard this and said, "How do I know why you lied to me?"
"How do you know I lied to you? I, Emperor Xuan Tian, will never bluff anyone."
Venerable Shenmu was still in a state of disbelief. He looked at Chen Xuan and said: "This is not a matter of bluffing or not, but I feel that you are really drunk and talking drunkenly.
Your cultivation level is three or four levels lower than mine, are you sure you can really defeat me?"
At that time, Venerable Shenmu actually looked at Chen Xuan's extremely confident face and had some doubts in his heart whether Chen Xuan was really that powerful.
After all, if Chen Xuan hadn't been so powerful before, he would never have shown such a confident expression.
It was still the expression. At that time, Venerable Shenmu felt that he had some understanding of Chen Xuan.
He knew that Chen Xuan was not the kind of person who spoke big words. Whatever Chen Xuan said was something that Chen Xuan could do.
If Chen Xuan couldn't do it, Chen Xuan would never say it.
Regarding this point, Venerable Shenmu still understands Chen Xuan relatively well.
But in this case, Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan with some doubts.
If this is the case, Chen Xuan was not telling lies at that time, then did he really have the confidence to defeat himself?
Venerable Shenmu also had a trying mentality and asked Chen Xuan: "How about we two compete?"
After finishing speaking, Venerable Shenmu added: "Don't worry, I won't use the power of the forest, I will only use my own power. Otherwise, you will be in too much misery."
Although Chen Xuan said at the time that he knew that he could defeat Lord Shenmu, if Lord Shenmu was in the Shenmu Forest, all the power in the forest could be used by Lord Shenmu.
He could defeat the Lord Shenmu, but he could not defeat the entire Shenmu Forest. Chen Xuan still knew this.
After hearing what Venerable Shenmu said, Chen Xuan nodded and said: "Okay, it just so happens that I have always wanted to compete with you before."
Hearing this, Venerable Shenmu smiled lightly and said: "You kid, you haven't reached that level of cultivation yet, and you actually want to compete with me?
Do you know the rules in this world? Only people of the same level can do that. Otherwise, it will be absolute crushing by the strong.
Your cultivation level is three or four levels lower than mine. It was because you were so confident at this time that I reluctantly made an exception to compete with you. Don't be too proud."
Chen Xuan has been in this world for tens of thousands of years, and there is no reason why he should not know the rules of this world.
However, Chen Xuan also had some special circumstances at that time.
After all, Chen Xuan at that time was really the first person whose cultivation strength was higher than that of a higher-level person.
Hearing what Venerable Shenmu said, Chen Xuan smiled softly. Chen Xuan was indeed a little drunk at that time, but he was also extremely sober and knew what he was doing.
When facing off against Venerable Shenmu, both of them will have certain standards and will not fight too much. They will stop at the point. This is what both Venerable Shenmu and Chen Xuan are thinking about.
After Chen Xuan finished laughing at that time, he looked at the Venerable Shenmu in front of him, and then he slowly stood up and said: "Old man, I am not proud, I am confident, confident but not conceited. Don't you think so in your heart?
do you know?"
This is indeed the case. When the former Lord Shenmu first broke up with Chen Xuan, he would have felt that Chen Xuan was a little arrogant.
But after being in contact with Chen Xuan for longer and longer, Venerable Shenmu knew that Chen Xuan was not arrogant, but confident.
To be honest, if Venerable Shenmu had Chen Xuan's ability, if he could go to the outside world, Venerable Shenmu felt that he might be even more arrogant, no, more confident than Chen Xuan.
Self-confidence is the foundation for people with high levels of cultivation.
Although Chen Xuan was said to be not that powerful in the world at that time, he was undoubtedly the strongest person in the world.
Moreover, Chen Xuan has a lot of power in the entire world, and this is indeed the capital that he can be arrogant about.
It's just that at the beginning, Venerable Shenmu felt that Chen Xuan was a little arrogant. Later, Venerable Shenmu didn't feel that Chen Xuan was arrogant. He felt that Chen Xuan was just confident.
Within his capabilities, he should do things that fit his abilities.
This is actually a very good thing.
In this world, strength is often the cornerstone of everything. If you have strength, then whatever you do is reasonable. If you don't have strength, you are incompetent and arrogant.
But Chen Xuan is not like this. He does have a lot of cultivation strength. Chen Xuan is very, very clear about this in his heart.
Venerable Shenmu also knows Chen Xuan, and he has very strong strength. Venerable Shenmu thinks there is no doubt about this.
And the most important point is that Venerable Shenmu feels that Chen Xuan defeated the Hydra demon with his own strength that was five levels lower than the Hydra demon in cultivation.
At this point, Venerable Shenmu felt that this was something that was really rare to see in this world.
