When he returned to his residence, he saw Qiuqiu still holding a pile of artifact fragments and chewing on them. The artifact fragments were made of extraordinary materials, so Qiuqiu naturally didn't digest them that quickly.
Moreover, every time it eats something, it has to stop and digest it.
Lu Ming did not take care of Qiuqiu and practiced alone.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
Qiuqiu ate all the fragments of the artifact purchased by Lu Ming. He finally evolved again, and his cultivation level improved again, reaching the third level of the Virtual God Realm.
However, at this time, Lu Ming did not have any artifact fragments to give it, so he could only give it some ordinary metal refining materials to Qiuqiu, while Lu Ming continued to comprehend and practice.
Just like that, five years passed in the blink of an eye.
After five years of hard training, Lu Ming has made great improvements in all aspects.
His cultivation level went a step further and he reached the level of Five-Star Heavenly Emperor. Of course, he also consumed more than 10,000 pieces of divine crystals.
In addition, his understanding of Zhan Zi Jue has become deeper and deeper. Now that Zhan Zi Jue is used, the attack on him increases more and more.
Moreover, the probability of triggering double combat power is getting higher and higher, and it only takes two triggers on average to succeed.
However, after practicing the Zhan Zi Jue to this point, it seems that he has encountered a bottleneck again. Lu Ming has not improved much for a while.
"It's not enough to just practice hard. You still need to go out and take risks to practice!"
Lu Ming finished his training and thought to himself.
If you don't encounter a bottleneck, it's fine to practice quietly, but once you encounter a bottleneck, just practicing hard will not be very effective. Practice and temper, and you need to fight to trigger inspiration and achieve breakthroughs.
This is also the reason why many people often take risks outside. By practicing and taking risks outside, you can not only gain opportunities, but also temper yourself and break through bottlenecks.
"Go and see the Zhengtian Army!"
Lu Ming walked out and headed towards the Zhengtian Army.
When they arrived at the headquarters of the Zhengtian Army, there was no one to stop them. Although Lu Ming and the others had not officially joined the Zhengtian Army, the Zhengtian Army already regarded them as one of its members.
At the Zhengtian Army headquarters, there is a mission hall.
In fact, most forces will have this kind of mission hall.
"Senior, are there any characters recently who are suitable for the Virtual God Realm?"
Lu Ming came to a counter and asked a white-haired old man.
"The biggest and most important task recently is naturally the battle with Yuan Luo Palace and Xiaoyao Sect!"
The white-haired old man said.
"Yuanluo Palace and Xiaoyao Sect?"
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
"Yes, in recent years, Yuan Luodian and Xiaoyao Sect have joined forces to attack some life planets controlled by our Zhengtian Army. Our Zhengtian Army has also been sending experts to fight with the two parties. Whenever Yuan Luodian and Xiaoyao Sect are killed,
Everyone in the Xiaoyao Sect will be rewarded!"
The white-haired old man said.
"Yuan Luodian and Xiaoyao Sect have joined forces? Is it because I beat up that Situ Xiao last time?"
Lu Ming couldn't help but think so.
"Hmph, the Xiaoyao Sect has long wanted to join forces with Yuan Luodian to deal with my Zhengtian Army, and now they have indeed taken action. Little guy, do you want to take this mission? If you take this mission, I will register it for you!"
asked the white-haired old man.
"Okay, then I will accept this task!"
Lu Ming nodded. It seemed that it was not because he beat up Situ Xiao that caused the two parties to attack, but Yuan Luo Palace and Xiaoyao Sect had already planned to join forces.
Soon, the old man completed the procedures for Lu Ming.
"I've registered for you. Many people have taken on this mission recently. Early tomorrow morning, we will come here to meet the others and set off together to the North Shangxing!"
The white-haired old man gave Lu Ming a black iron token.
Lu Ming took it and left here.
The day passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Ming returned to the mission hall early the next morning.
"Those who are going to perform missions on Beishangxing, meet here!"
As soon as Lu Ming arrived, he heard someone shouting in the mission hall.
Lu Ming walked over.
"Is this brother going on a mission to Beishangxing?"
The big man looked at Lu Ming.
"Yes!"
Lu Ming took out the black iron token.
"Okay, let's wait here for now. When everyone is almost here, we'll set off!"
Dahan Road.
Lu Ming nodded and walked aside.
As time passed, more and more people came to join us.
Half an hour later, more than two hundred people had gathered here, all of whom were going to the Beishang Star to perform missions, and they were all in the False God Realm.
"Okay, we're almost here, let's set off!"
The big man said.
Everyone headed towards the teleportation formation.
A teleportation array cannot teleport so many people at once, they need to take turns.
Groups of people went up, stepped into the teleportation formation, and disappeared into the formation.
Soon, it was Lu Ming's turn, and he also stepped onto the teleportation formation. The next moment, he appeared on a flat ground.
"This is... an island!"
As soon as he appeared, Lu Ming heard the sound of waves crashing from everywhere and the salty sea breeze blowing, which made him feel refreshed.
Lu Ming rose into the sky, looked around, and found that this place was indeed an island. The island was not big, and at a glance, he could see the boundless ocean.
Soon, everyone passed through the teleportation array.
"Follow me. We will go to Seven Star Island first and assign specific tasks. Also, I will explain to you the current situation in Beishang Star on the way!"
Dahan Road.
Everyone followed the big man and flew out of the island and towards the vast sea.
The big man's name is Pan Jiang, who has been guarding Beishangxing, and this time he went specifically to pick them up.
On the way, Pan Jiang introduced the current situation of Bei Shangxing.
The situation of Beishang Star is quite special. It is located at the junction of Zhengtian Army and Yuanluo Palace. Therefore, Beishang Star has become a battleground between the two forces.
Therefore, half of Beishang Star was occupied by Zhengtian Army and Yuanluo Palace respectively.
The area of the North Shang Star continent and the ocean each account for 50%.
The Zhengtian Army occupies the ocean and ocean archipelago of Beishang Star and exploits the resources in the ocean.
As for Yuan Luodian, after occupying the land portion of Beishang Star, all the resources on the land have been developed.
The two sides often fight each other, and masters of the Zhengtian Army often sneak into the mainland of Beishang Star to secretly hunt down the people of Yuan Luo Palace and seize the resources on the mainland.
Or, there are people from the Yuan Luo Palace who secretly enter the Ocean Islands to hunt down the masters of the Zhengtian Army.
In short, the two sides have never stopped fighting each other. However, in the past two years, Yuan Luodian has invested more power in Beishang Star, and the fighting between the two sides has become more frequent.
The Zhengtian Army has also been increasing the power of Beishang Star.
Qixing Island is the headquarters of the Zhengtian Army in Beishangxing.
They flew across the vast ocean and passed many islands along the way. Three days later, they finally arrived at Seven Star Island.
Qixing Island is so huge that although it is said to be an island, it is actually no different from the mainland.
At least in Lu Ming's opinion, the area of Seven Star Island is definitely not smaller than the Taiqing Heaven Realm.
On Seven Star Island, there are many people coming and going. They are all experts. At a glance, there are no less than thousands of people, all of them are strong men in the virtual god realm.
Lu Ming was secretly shocked. It was just a Seven-Star Island, but with so many masters, one could imagine the strength of the entire Zhengtian Army.
