Without waiting for Li Kezhou's reply, the old man said again: "This is not what I meant. Although I am the great elder, I do not have such rights. This is the result of the discussion of all the elders. It's okay if you don't accept it."
"Moreover, this is beneficial to you. You are a genius who emerges from our Stone Human tribe every century. Now you are only in your early twenties, and your cultivation has entered the middle stage of the third stone transformation. As expected, in this internal competition, you
It should be a sure thing."
Li Kezhou did not hesitate at all and nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense! No matter from any aspect, I have no reason to refuse, okay! Just as you said, it will be decided by a competition who will represent the Stonemen in the battle."
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this.
He had hinted this matter to Longshan more than once before, but was rejected by this person. In addition, there were more than a dozen elders standing behind this person, leaving him with nothing to do.
To his surprise, the boy in front of him agreed so readily this time.
The old man smiled happily and thought to himself:
(Boy, you are still too young. I just deceived you, and you were fooled. This is not the decision of the elders at all.)
"Come here! Send the order quickly. Young Master Longshan has personally agreed to give up his place in the Hundred Clans Battle so that all the Stone Tribe children can compete fairly."
One of his subordinates took the order and started shouting loudly when he went out.
The old man looked at the young man in front of him. For the first time in his life, he felt so pleasing to the eye. He said with a smile: "The day of the competition is set for tomorrow, Longshan. Go back and prepare well. I hope you will win the championship in one fell swoop."
Li Kezhou stopped paying attention to him, turned around and walked out of the room.
This night.
Li Kezhou was taken to the Stone Clan Ancestral Hall.
At this time, there were already two rows of people sitting in the ancestral hall. There were about a dozen people in total, all of them white-haired old men.
"Hey! Longshan, you are too reckless." An elder shook his head and sighed.
"That's right! Didn't we tell you before that you must not agree to this person's conditions? From the information I got, this person's son Shi Xuan is actually bottomless. He asked you to hand over your quota, which means that Shi Xuan
, I have absolute confidence to defeat you.”
"This person is really ambitious. Back then, this person was being hunted by others, but the clan leader rescued him. This person had no bottom line, so he abandoned his surname and joined us, the Stoneman Clan. Now his ambition is finally revealed."
"Those who are not from my clan must have different minds. This is true at all. However, it is a pity that this person has kept a low profile and has reached the peak of the fourth stone transformation. He has cultivated the Stone God Secret Technique passed down by the clan leader, and no one in the clan can do it anymore."
He is his opponent."
"The clan leader was wise, but he also misjudged this person. If the clan leader disappears, it must be related to this person. We, the Stoneman clan, must not fall into the hands of a foreign surname."
All the elders spoke to me, and from time to time they looked up to the sky and cried out in sorrow.
Li Kezhou looked around and found that these were the strongest combatants of the Stonemen, and their cultivation levels had also entered the fourth stone transformation, which was the return to true form of swordsmanship.
However, there is only one person who has reached the ultimate level of combat power. No wonder these people dare not face the old ghost face to face, because it will be a lose-lose outcome for both sides.
As he looked at these gray-haired old men, he realized more and more clearly what a sad state the once-famous Stone God clan had fallen into.
These people would never have thought that the young man in front of them, who they had high hopes for, had already died in the giant forest.
Li Kezhou was silent and said: "Elders, don't worry, even Shi Xuan knows how to hide his clumsiness. Why don't I understand that this person will definitely die tomorrow."
"What??"
All the elders were surprised and uncertain.
"Longshan, are you saying...that your cultivation in the middle stage of the Third Stone Transformation is not your true strength?"
The elders' eyes were blazing, and some even stood up excitedly.
Li Kezhou didn't know what to say, he just nodded casually.
With his strength, even if one person challenges a kingdom of God, he will not be afraid at all, but he knows that his identity cannot be exposed now. He still needs the identity of "Longshan" to participate in the war of hundreds of tribes and win the qualification to enter the Nine Apertures Divine Stone. .
In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, he had at least two powers that he could not use. One was his swordsmanship, and the other was mechanical armor. Neither of these two powers belonged to the Stonemen.
The only thing he can use is the power of physical cultivation.
After his understanding of the Stoneman Clan's cultivation method, he found that this lineage of cultivation is similar to physical cultivation, but not exactly the same. It is a cultivation method that trains both the body and the Qi.
Among them, physical training is the foundation, and Qi training is to make you stronger.
The relationship between the two is similar to the relationship between his body and his mechanical armor. The former is the foundation, and the latter is to increase the power and maximize the attack effect.
Without waiting for anyone to ask him about his specific cultivation level, he continued: "I have encountered a big problem in my cultivation recently. My physical strength has increased rapidly, but my stone-changing ability has been suppressed because of this, and I am increasingly unable to exert my power. "
As he spoke, he punched out symbolically, his fist flashed with purple fire, and the void was turbulent.
"This seems to be... Cang Yan!!" An elder screamed loudly in fright.
"That's right. It is indeed Cang Yan. He does not use the power of stone transformation and relies solely on his body to possess such terrifying power. Only the Stone Emperor could do it back then."
Li Kezhou understood clearly when he heard that the Stone Emperor was probably a physical cultivator at first. Later, he went to the Nine Apertures Divine Stone and understood the [Stone Heaven Divine Technique], and then opened up a path of stone cultivating that combines physical cultivation with stone transformation. .
Seeing that he had not aroused suspicion, Li Kezhou immediately said: "My physical strength has been growing rapidly, but it has been hidden and kept secret, and others cannot see through it. However, recently, my stone-changing power has been getting worse day by day, until Recently, I can’t even use it..."
After all the elders got over their excitement, they looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
Some people nodded slightly, and then others nodded one after another, as if some kind of agreement had been reached.
"Longshan! Your situation also happened to the Stone Emperor back then. Just as you expected, because your power was too strong, you suppressed Shi Bian. Your qualifications are so high that you only meet once in a thousand years. You will eventually inherit our clan. Clan leader, it’s time to leave the untold secrets of our Stoneman Clan to you..."
Li Kezhou was stunned when he heard this.
He just planned to muddle through and never wanted to reveal an undisclosed secret.
The elders looked at him as if they were looking at a rare treasure.
"Even your father is not qualified to possess that treasure while he is still alive. It is also the biggest secret of our Stoneman Clan. As long as this thing exists, the inheritance will not be cut off."
More than a dozen elders took out something one after another.
It seemed to be a broken stone jade. Each person held one piece, and a dozen broken pieces were combined together, and finally turned into a stone plate. The stone plate collapsed and emitted yellow light. The light opened a portal, and something flew out from it.
"Longshan! Receive our clan's most precious treasure."
Li Kezhou quickly stretched out his hand, held something in his hand, lowered his head and looked at it.
This is actually a stone man.
The stone man is about the size of a hand, lifelike, but has no face.
"What is this?" he asked, unable to conceal his curiosity.
"This is the origin of the name of our Stonemen. When you refine it with your blood, it will become one with you. This treasure was passed down by the Stone Emperor. Without a strong body and strength, it is impossible to fuse with it."
