"Geniuses are always a bit arrogant. Let's keep an eye on him during this period. When he suffers a loss, we will restrain ourselves."
Liu Nanshan laughed and said to Xini.
"Look at this kid, he has clear sense and is more cunning than anyone else. He doesn't look like he is controlled by the Blood Fiend Broken Sword at all. The forces from all directions are really making things out of thin air and want to use this unfounded crime to seize Lin Mu's strange fire."
The master of Kaiyang courtyard snorted coldly.
"What the forces from all directions said was just an excuse. I never believed it from the beginning."
Liu Nanshan laughed and said, "As for Lin Mu, this kid is indeed as cunning as a little fox. It must not be that easy for the forces from all directions to plot his strange fire, so we don't need to worry too much."
"Then let's consider this matter in the long run, and let's leave it at that for now."
For a moment, Yu Zhengchu had no other choice but to shake his head and leave first.
The senior officials of the colleges left one by one, and Zhou Fushen was at the end, with an unnoticed coldness flashing in his eyes.
Seven Star Garden.
Now that Lin Mu and Xing Lao were no longer strangers, they stepped directly into the garden without being polite.
Xing Lao seems to have been there for hundreds of years, like a sculpture, sitting cross-legged under the big tree in the center of the garden.
"Xing Lao."
Lin Mu stood aside with respectful hands lowered.
For Xing Lao, his gratitude comes from the bottom of his heart. Without Xing Lao this time, he would have been controlled by the Blood Fiend Broken Sword and turned into a killing machine.
"Well, very good."
Xing Lao opened his eyes, his face full of relief. With his eyesight, he could easily tell at a glance that the evil spirit on Lin Mu's appearance had been worn away. It would not be obvious without careful sensing.
After a pause, he stroked his beard and asked: "What floor is it on?"
"Seventh floor."
Lin Mu said truthfully.
"Seventh floor? You really didn't disappoint me. Keep up the good work. Given your age, you can break into the sixth floor this time. Sooner or later, you will be able to break into the seventh floor..."
Halfway through, Mr. Xing suddenly froze, "Wait a minute, which floor did you say you broke into?"
Lin Mu touched his nose: "Seventh floor."
"hiss."
The corner of Xing Lao's mouth twitched, but he used too much force and broke several of his beards.
But at this time, he had no intention of paying attention to this and took a breath: "Good boy, I thought that it would be great for you to break into the sixth floor, but I didn't expect that you could break into the seventh floor."
As he spoke, as if words were not enough to express his shock, he stood up and wandered back and forth.
Lin Mu stood aside quietly without speaking, waiting for Mr. Xing to calm down.
Mr. Xing is worthy of being a thousand-year-old man. After more than ten steps back and forth, he still calmed down the turmoil in his heart when faced with such a shocking event.
Standing still, he suddenly frowned again: "No, your breath is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Mu said in confusion, "I passed through the seventh floor, so the changes in my aura are normal."
"Tell me, when you broke into the tower, did you experience any unusual changes, related to your cultivation level?"
Xing Lao's voice seemed very serious.
"There are indeed changes."
Lin Mu thought for a while and said, "When I passed the sixth level, I became a peak martial artist. When I passed the seventh level, I seemed to have made a breakthrough again. But the strange thing is that after I carefully sensed it, I found that I had not become a martial artist.
"
"I guess he is a Dzogchen warrior, but I don't know why, but it doesn't feel like it."
"Of course not a Dzogchen warrior."
Horror appeared on Mr. Xing's face, and he said in disbelief, "I didn't expect that such a realm really exists in this world. It really does exist. It's unbelievable, unbelievable."
"Xing Lao, what's going on?"
Lin Mu couldn't help but become nervous after hearing this.
"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, a huge good thing."
Xing Lao laughed, "The so-called Dzogchen warrior is not a realm. It still belongs to the category of peak warriors. It just polishes the true energy to the limit, and yours is a real breakthrough in cultivation."
Even though Lin Mu had extraordinary knowledge, he was still stunned when he heard this: "Breakthrough in cultivation? Mr. Xing, you confused me. I'm obviously not a martial artist."
"If I'm not wrong, you have a soul, right?"
Xing Lao asked instead without answering.
"Yes, it is precisely because I have cultivated my soul that I can pass through the seventh level."
Lin Mu nodded.
"Do you know that in ancient times, warriors were not only at the tenth level, but at the twelfth level?"
Xing Lao said with bright eyes.
"What? Twelve levels?"
Lin Mu was suddenly moved, "Then it's only the tenth level now?"
"I also know this from the inherited memories of my ancestors. In ancient times, it was indeed the twelfth level."
Xing Lao said, "It's just that later on, the great catastrophe of heaven and earth shattered the ancient world, and the avenue was isolated from the mortal world. The path to advance to the next two levels was also cut off from now on."
"The current situation, as you can see, the warrior is only tenth level."
"Mr.
The more Lin Mu listened, the more frightened he became.
"No, in ancient times, everyone's sages made a conjecture that the Great Dao is fifty and the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine. Everything has a glimmer of hope, so there is actually hope for living beings to fall back two levels again."
Mr. Xing's eyes were as bright as torches, "This speculation is that before the age of eighteen, a living being cannot reach the level of a martial artist. By relying on his own will, he can condense his soul, which will resonate with the great avenues of heaven and earth."
"That way, you can touch the great road again and embark on the ancient road."
"Why does it have to be before the age of eighteen?"
Lin Mu looked confused. He remembered that the mysterious man on the eighth floor said that the condition for conquering the artifact was to condense the soul before the age of eighteen.
"In fact, human beings are born with the innate aura of greatness, but in the years that follow, it is slowly corroded and worn away by impurities, and becomes weaker and weaker."
Xing Lao explained, "Until the age of eighteen, the innate Dao Qi will completely disappear."
"The only way to retain this innate spirit is to condense the soul before the age of eighteen."
"Therefore, if you want to resonate with the Dao, you must condense your soul before the age of eighteen. Otherwise, when the innate Dao Qi disappears, even if you condense your soul, the Dao will not have any reaction."
"I see."
Lin Mu looked strange, "So, I have entered the eleventh level of the legendary warrior?"
"good."
Elder Xing happily stroked his beard and said, "When you step into the eleventh level of a warrior, your combat power will be greatly increased. Although you are not a martial artist, your martial arts realm is actually no weaker than that of a martial artist."
"Martial masters practice meat, and the body contains true energy, which is better than you, but you have awakened the innate energy of the great road, which is incomparable to martial arts masters."
"What's more important is that you can step into the twelfth level of a warrior in the future, and finally condense the innate true energy that only existed in ancient times, and then use the innate true energy to break the limits of the physical body in one fell swoop, becoming an innate martial artist, but an acquired martial artist."
"I also feel that my strength has become much stronger, and the martial artist's suppression advantage in realm is no longer of use to me."
Lin Mu said equally confidently.
Looking at Lin Mu, Mr. Xing suddenly seemed a little nervous for no reason while he was relieved.
"Xinglao?"
Lin Mu soon appeared and looked at him puzzled.
Xing Lao came back to his senses, stared at Lin Mu, and after a long time said carefully: "Since you have entered the seventh floor, have you found anything else?"
