Hewu City is a large city close to the Tianwu River, and it is very lively with people coming and going.
Following the crowd, Chen Zong walked leisurely and comfortably towards the gate of Hewu City. His expression was relaxed, but his perception was also improved, taking in all the movements around him into his perception. If there was any slight movement, he would immediately detect it.
Can react.
In unknown places, it is better to be more cautious.
However, under normal circumstances, cities often have their own city guards to maintain law and order, so it seems that Hewu City is a peaceful place to live and work.
When I first arrived, according to Chen Zong's habit, he naturally collected some information and made some understanding first.
Another point, take the opportunity to taste the fine wine and food of Zhenwu Shangyu.
A place has its own characteristics, and that’s what makes it different.
Looking for a restaurant that looked good, Chen Zong chose a seat by the window to sit down, where he had a better view.
The customs and customs of Hewu City are relatively close to those of the Qingtian Upper Territory, perhaps because this city is the closest to the Qingtian Upper Territory.
While Chen Zong was eating fine wine and food with the characteristics of Qingtian Shangyu, he was listening to the conversations of the people in the restaurant, feeling calm.
The content of the conversation was very mixed. Some were talking about where to go to have fun, some were talking about other people's experiences, and some were talking about how their recent cultivation was going.
There are sincere conversations, there are also false and submissive responses, and there are also conversations full of routines.
All aspects of life are in miniature.
"This time Lord Dragon Spear openly accepts disciples, who can catch his eye?"
"Not only the Venerable Dragon Spear openly accepts disciples, but also the Venerable Divine Finger and the Demon Sword. It is said that only those who are among the top 100 in the Zhenwu Battle Monument will have the opportunity to become their disciples."
"Speaking of which, the Zhenwu Battle Monument is opened once every ten years, which is about this period of time."
"Zhenwu Battle Monument." Chen Zong's ears twitched a little and finally heard some interesting news.
"As soon as the Zhenwu Battle Monument is opened, countless geniuses will pour into the Zhenwu Giant City again, like hundreds of flowers blooming. It's really exciting."
“I don’t know what kind of geniuses will emerge this year and whether they can surpass the past.”
After various conversations and a few mentions, Chen Zong had a more intuitive understanding of the so-called Zhenwu War Monument.
The Zhenwu War Monument can be said to be a treasure in the Zhenwu Upper Domain. Of course, the Zhenwu War Monument does not have any offensive and defensive capabilities. Its only ability is positioning and ranking.
As for how to position it, Chen Zong could only make some simple guesses based on the few comments made by everyone. Whether this was the case could only be determined by seeing it with his own eyes and trying it himself.
The Zhenwu War Monument is opened once every ten years. It is positioned and ranked. Anyone who has entered the Saint Realm or below is eligible to participate. As for those on the list, although they will not receive any rewards, they will be favored by some sects or strong men and become disciples.
, if you have a master, you will also become famous in Zhenwu Shangyu and become a household name.
Fame and fortune run through a person's life, and practitioners are not immune to it either.
The struggle for fame and fortune is instinctive from birth, and the environment will continue to strengthen it.
By becoming famous, not only will you become famous, but the forces behind you will also become famous, your prestige will be greatly increased, and you will hopefully recruit more talented disciples to continue to grow.
Even if you don't care about the prestige of which teacher you inherit from which force, but knowing that many geniuses are gathered together, you will inevitably have the idea of competition.
Therefore, the Zhenwu Battle Monument is opened once every ten years, which is also known as the Zhenwu Grand Meeting.
Of course, this title has not been officially recognized, but it has been widely circulated and is secretly accepted by many people.
A real martial arts event!
Just a name and it gets promoted.
"Zhenwu Giant City is one of the three oldest giant cities in the Zhenwu Upper Region. I don't know how far it is from Hewu City?" Chen Zong thought secretly. Chen Zong was very interested in the Zhenwu War Monument. Since he came here
Since I have experience and interest, I naturally want to participate.
There is still one and a half months until the Zhenwu Battle Monument opens, and I don’t know if we can arrive on time.
After finishing the delicious food and drinking wine, and calling the waiter to pay the bill, Chen Zong also asked about it and left.
"Who is this person?"
"I don't know. He looks very young. His cultivation is unclear. Maybe he is a genius."
Chen Zong didn't hide his inquiry about Zhenwu Giant City, so many people in the restaurant heard it. They all looked at Chen Zong's leaving figure and secretly guessed.
"I guess this person is not from our Zhenwu Upper Domain, but a genius who has just come from the Qingtian Upper Domain to experience. Otherwise, he would not ask where the Zhenwu Giant City is."
"The geniuses of the Qingtian Upper Domain, haha, can't be compared with the geniuses of our Zhenwu Upper Domain."
"That's right, geniuses from Qingtian Upper Domain can't even hope to get a good ranking on the Zhenwu Battle Monument."
Chen Zong didn't know what these people were saying. After asking the waiter of the restaurant, he quickly left the restaurant, then left Hewu City and flew toward the southeast.
The location of Zhenwu Giant City is just southeast of Hewu City.
According to what the waiter said... um... well... the waiter is only at the Foundation Establishment level after all, so the time he mentioned doesn't count, but based on some estimates, one and a half months should be enough for him to reach the Zhenwu Giant.
City, participate in the Zhenwu Battle Monument.
As soon as Chen Zong used his movement skills, he was as fast as a gust of wind and as light as a flying feather. It was as if the wind blew and swept forward very far in an instant.
The avenue to the southeast of Hewu City is wide and long, and there are trees beside it.
Dust and smoke were billowing ahead, and a convoy was moving forward at a neither fast nor slow speed. A figure was extremely fast and seemed to pass through the dust and smoke silently, passing by the convoy.
"What a speed!"
"That's a semi-saint master, right?"
The guards on the convoy were all surprised, because the strongest person in the entire convoy was only at the ninth level of the extraordinary realm. The speed of the figure just now shocked them.
After crossing the convoy, Chen Zong ignored others and kept moving forward at high speed. But in fact, this was not Chen Zong's full speed, but only a partial speed, which was equivalent to the speed of an ordinary low-level semi-saint. If it exploded at full speed, the speed would be
It will be much faster.
Of course, maintaining this speed is not a burden for Chen Zong. The consumption and recovery of strength are equal, so that he can persist for a long time.
The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night alternate. A few days pass in the blink of an eye. Chen Zong is already far away from Hewu City, but he doesn't know how far he is from Zhenwu Giant City.
The sun sets in the west, night falls, and a round moon hangs like a hook in the sky, emitting a faint faint light, the stars dim, and the heaven and earth are silent.
A night wind blew in, causing the bonfire to sway, and the figure illuminated by the fire also changed.
With a pot of wine in his hand, Chen Zong slowly tasted the delicious barbecue he made.
Continuously driving, even if the strength consumption and recovery are the same, will feel boring after a long time. It is better to stop and take a rest at this time, so that you can relax your body and mind.
After eating the barbecue and drinking the wine from the pot, Chen Zong slowly lay down and looked up at the night sky.
The crescent moon is like a hook, quiet and profound.
Staring at the crescent moon, Chen Zong looked calm, his mind was peaceful, and all distracting thoughts seemed to have disappeared.
Gradually, the whole person seemed to have entered a state of darkness, as if it was extremely peaceful, so peaceful that everything seemed to have stopped and solidified, but everything around him was clearly under his control.
Don't think about anything, the whole person relaxes and seems to be idle.
Like a wisp of wind floating in the night, like a stream flowing leisurely.
Relax to the extreme, relax to the depths of your bones and soul, completely undisturbed.
When the hook moon sets in the west and a ray of morning light shines from the eastern sky, Chen Zong seems to be awakened to life. He doesn't know when his closed eyes opened. His eyes are clear and deep, as if there is no bottom in the abyss.
It seems as high and boundless as the sky.
The mind is clear and the body is relaxed, as if the dust has been removed and the whole body is relaxed.
His body trembled and his strength became mellow.
Chen Zong did not expect that in just one night, he would relax so much, as if he had relaxed to the deepest part of his body, all fatigue gone.
Comfort comes from the deepest comfort of the body.
As soon as his body skills were displayed, Chen Zong continued on his way. While he was on his way, he also meditated on the mystery of the Heart Sword Sutra. After all, Chen Zong still felt that the Heart Sword Sutra was the foundation, especially when it came to meditating and mastering the mind.
After entering the domain, this feeling becomes more intuitive.
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed. During this period, Chen Zong passed through several big cities, but he did not stop. He just bought some fine wine and drank on the way before leaving.
In the night sky, thunder and lightning flashed like a dragon flying into the sky, letting out an earth-shattering roar. Raindrops as big as thumbs fell from the sky and struck down crazily. Each drop was so powerful that ordinary people could not survive such heavy rain.
It will be difficult to resist and easy to die.
It was pouring rain again, there was lightning and thunder, there was strong wind, and it was dark night.
Chen Zong, who had been on the road for a long time, planned to take a rest when he saw the fire ahead, coming from an old house.
As he approached, Chen Zong also felt wisps of aura fluctuations coming from the stone house. It was obviously not weak, and he made an instant guess.
"Everyone, it's raining heavily outside, please let me go inside to take shelter from the rain." Chen Zong appeared at the door of the stone house and said in a gentle voice.
Presumably, the people in the house were not the original owners of the stone house, but people like me who entered the house to take shelter from the rain. However, since the other party entered the stone house first, and I was not a arrogant person, it was still necessary to say hello.
Three gazes fell on Chen Zong's face and swept across quickly.
"Your Excellency, you are joking. This stone house is not ours. Anyone can come in to take shelter from the rain." One of the handsome young men said with a smile.
The other man and woman did not speak, and it seemed that they could not tell anything from Chen Zong. However, the man frowned slightly, as if he did not like Chen Zong's arrival, or he did not like that he had nothing to do with the three of them.
people entered this stone house.
"Thank you." As Chen Zong spoke, he did not pause. He stepped directly into the stone house, sat down calmly in a corner of the stone house, leaned his back against the wall, turned his hand, and a bottle of wine appeared.
While drinking, Chen Zong also watched the downpour outside the house.
"Friend, since you are alone, why not come here and warm yourself by the fire." The handsome young man invited.
