Cataclysm King

Chapter 226: New King of Oran

Chapter 226 The New King of Oran

Ji Xun looked at the old man who suddenly showed his domineering attitude in front of him, and his heart was full of emotions.

It was as if I saw a giant humanoid dragon. The pressure from that high-ranking creature solidified the air into colloid, making it difficult for people to breathe.

 In a sense, this is no longer a human category.

 But "demigod".

 Those demigod humans in legend who can kill gods and demons and possess the power of gods and demons.

This pressure is real.

 “This realm really exists!”

Ji Xun was shocked and felt a sense of awe in his heart.

He was not amazed at the pressure of this high-level creature that he had seen many times.

 But I was shocked to feel such coercion in a human being!

 When talking with Master Merlin before, Ji Xun also heard about this civilization-level bottleneck that has troubled card masters for thousands of years.

 Level 6 is the current upper limit for card masters.

This bottleneck has locked up the entire card master civilization.

Even the few legendary experts who can understand the field still cannot break through this limit.

 Countless forefathers have groped on this road and have yet to find a way to break through.

 But now, it’s different.

Ji Xun looked at the old man in front of him, and his heart instantly became filled with anticipation.

This is not just as simple as describing it as terrifying combat power.

  But it is of great significance to the entire card master civilization!

It’s like a lighthouse that has been dormant for thousands of years on a dark sea, and suddenly lights up.

 A certain pioneer sailing in the darkness finally lit this beacon that illuminated civilization.

 It guided subsequent ships to avoid rocks, avoid undercurrents, and find the correct navigation direction.

 Since I plan to teach seriously.

The student said he wanted to see it, so Gong Wu showed it to him.

The two of them were very close, and the bad old man was obviously evil again. He was probably trying to impress Ji Xun, and the aura of a top powerhouse instantly filled him up.

By the time Ji Xun came to his senses, he was already sweating all over his body.

Existences of this level, even just looking at them, have already walked on the line of life and death.

But when the old man looked at Ji Xun's expression, he seemed not to see the effect he wanted. He seemed to be saying: Why aren't you particularly shocked?

Ji Xun’s eyes twitched and he rolled his eyes at the old man.

If he had never seen the power of dragons or gods, perhaps the scene today would really shock his jaw.

 It’s a pity that I’ve seen it before.

Gong Wu thought about it for a moment and understood something. He put away his high-ranking pressure and asked, "Have you seen this before?"

"Um."

Ji Xun suddenly felt that the pressure of carrying the mountain on his back was gone, and he was able to break the problem and said: "I have seen dragon-born creatures in an extra-dimensional space. And..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the mural on the rock wall and said quietly: "There are also some stumps of the Weeping Angel."

 It turns out I have actually seen it.

Gong Wu suddenly realized what he had captured, and said in a strange tone: "Have you ever seen an angel?"

He has seen this mural for many years.

Has anyone actually seen it?

Ji Xun obviously knew why he asked.

It's like a guy from the mountains who comes to the city and asks what year it is.

 This old man has been in seclusion for too long.

He simply said a few words: "Yes. Those guys from the Silver Moon Sect wanted to unblock the old god, and then they made some noise. In short, the situation in the entire Federation and the Old Continent has changed greatly."

Gong Wu only understood what happened after hearing this explanation.

 At the same time, he also muttered to himself: "I have been in seclusion for the past few years, and the outside world has changed so much."

 But I’m not very interested.

 No changes in the outside world have any appeal to him, a lonely old man who pursues the highest level of martial arts.

He is not interested in whoever becomes king or who becomes a member of parliament.

Ji Xun looked at the old man's expression and knew that he was not showing off enough, so he still asked in a flattering manner: "Senior, is this the 'Fist Intent' you have understood?"

 The dismantling is real.

 The admiration comes from the bottom of my heart.

  It is normal for mythical creatures to have such high pressure.

 It is a state of epoch-making significance for a human being to reach this level.

This coolness doesn’t need to be faked.

 But the old man himself is already very, very extraordinary.

Ji Xun actually wanted to ask, why is there such a big difference between what the old man showed just now and what others meant?

 The effect was not full, and the old man was obviously not as interested as before, but he also explained: "You can say that. But not entirely. This is something at a higher level."

He seemed to want Ji Xun to understand more clearly. He paused and thought for a moment before adding: "Since you have met the dragonborn, you should have experienced the power of the dragon. In fact, these are the manifestations of the consciousness of a high-level creature. Words are spoken. It can be called 'human power'. But I like another name - divine power. Human beings can control the power of gods, and they also have the power of gods."

Ji Xun frowned as he listened, still not understanding.

But he also wanted to confirm the myths and legends, so he asked: "Senior, is this the legendary 'demigod realm'?"

"this"

 The old man was also slightly speechless.

He has just realized this.

  After all, this is an area that has not been touched by anyone in the card master world for more than two thousand years, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

If Ji Xun hadn't woken up when he broke in, he might have stayed in seclusion for a while to continue his enlightenment.

Thinking of something, endless depth flashed across his eyes, and he only said: "When you really reach this state, you will find that this is a completely different level. In a sense, I am indeed a 'demigod' ”

Ji Xun knew that it was a level that he could not understand for the time being, so he asked a simple question that he was curious about: "Does this 'divine power' have any specific effect?"

  “Function?”

 Of course Gongwu knew.

 Now he has truly felt the reason why those ancestors who broke through the seventh level threshold in the past were 100% deformed.

 But this feeling is difficult to describe to others.

He thought for a moment and managed to organize some words: "When you reach this level, you can obviously feel the cognitive difference brought about by the elevation of life levels. Of course, the specific manifestation in biology can be said to be genes. The unlocking of the chain, blood reversion, etc. I don’t quite understand these words. I heard them when I was chatting with Merlin before. If you are interested, you can ask that guy later."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun listened thoughtfully.

I didn’t understand it, but I caught some key words.

 He remembered his first-level fusion [Beast Walker] professional card. Master Merlin said it was a small experiment on his bloodline reversion?

 These things are a bit empty to talk about. Gong Wu knew that Ji Xun's rank would definitely not be able to understand them.

And he also knew that what Ji Xun wanted to ask just now was about the role of combat power.

Thinking of this, the old man had a hint of teasing in his expression: "However, there is another very powerful effect. Do you want to try it?"

Ji Xun looked at the expression of this bad old man and knew that this guy must have bad intentions, and he was probably thinking of playing tricks again.

But he was really too curious, so he nodded seriously: "Yeah!"

When the old man heard what he said, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, prepare your defenses and I'll show you."

Ji Xun did not dare to be careless and transformed into a werewolf body. The curse marks all over his body instantly condensed, and his skin also showed a bronze metallic luster.

 Has entered the strongest defense state.

 The old man watched him get ready, narrowed his eyes slightly, and appeared in front of Ji Xun in an instant.

Immediately, Ji Xun felt the feeling of "divine power" coming towards his face.

 But it has been extremely restrained and the pressure is very light.

Then the old man stretched out a finger and flicked it.

 But this is an understatement, like the sound of a cannon exploding.

 A "touch" sound.

Ji Xun felt a roar in his head and his whole body flew out.

It is a feeling as if the soul has been beaten out of the body.

Ji Xun clearly felt a feeling of being out of body and losing control of his body during the period from flying upside down to landing.

 My thoughts can move, but my body is completely out of control.

what 's wrong?

 This is an experience Ji Xun has never had before.

 Being beaten is expected.

 Don’t beat the one who doesn’t know why.

That feeling

 He felt like he was a knight in full armor in an oil painting, ready to defend himself and prepare for an attack.

However, at this moment, a finger from outside the painting directly pierced the paper.

 The overlord body and the incantation are like a thin layer of paint that breaks off instantly.

 This is not a one-dimensional attack method at all!

 This is "divine power"?

 So strong!

 It’s simply outrageous.

Ji Xun was immersed in that eye-opening state.

This moment seemed to have slowed down countless times, but it still felt fleeting.

 The soul returns to the body again, and severe pain hits the forehead!

This kind of pain is like being beaten when you were a child, and the pain makes your soul twitch.

Even Ji Xun's current pain tolerance took a breath of cold air: "Hiss"

He covered his forehead and clearly felt a big bag springing up like bamboo shoots.

It is round and swollen, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

Ji Xun looked at the old man opposite who was gloating over his misfortune again, and said with his eyes: This guy really has no good intentions.

 The old man looked at it and smiled.

It seems that he is very satisfied to see this guy who has learned most of his skills in a month or two looking embarrassed.

But despite the laughter, he did not forget to remind him: "Remember the feeling just now."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun’s temples twitched in pain, but the pain also deepened the impression.

 In an instant, he also understood what the old man wanted him to remember.

Just now I had an "out-of-body" feeling, as if I was taken to another dimension for a tour.

At least at that moment, I felt the concept of "off-screen"!

 This is an angle he has never seen before.

 Like a lighthouse on a dark sea, it lights up!

Although that ray of light is still very, very far away, as long as you sail to that sea area, you can see the lighthouse.

This qigong master showed him a smooth path to the pinnacle of martial arts.

 “So that’s how it is.”

Ji Xun took a deep breath.

 How could I not know that this old man gave me a gift that would be jealous of countless top card masters?

 He put away the expression on his face, raised his hands in salute, and said respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

The old man shook his head with a look of disinterest: "Your rank is too low now, and I can't tell you more. Think about it carefully. When you understand your 'meaning', you will know what you want today Why did you get hit like this?"

As he said this, the guy did not forget to gloat and expressed concern: "Ah, I haven't done anything for a long time. The strength seems to be a little stronger. The bump on your forehead seems a bit big. How about applying some medicine first?"

ˆ “.”

Hearing these mean words, although Ji Xun knew that he had benefited, he still felt a little resentful.

The burning pain in his forehead was still fermenting at this moment, and he took another breath of cold air before suppressing it.

 He was sure that the old man could have taught this concept in other ways, but he chose this most cruel and inhumane method. The expression of that bad old man seemed to say: You can't live without any of the hardships I've endured.

Since he was beaten, Ji Xun also felt that he should dig out more good things.

 Mentioned this topic again, he simply asked directly: "Senior, how can you understand your 'meaning'?"

 The old man listened and casually said a word he had said many times: "Enlightenment."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun rolled his eyes.

 Of course he knew that he wanted to understand.

 Countless card masters’ books say this.

 The reason I ask this is to express whether there are any tricks or shortcuts for people like you who have already understood the power of the gods.

 Just like the first time, tapping the forehead will make people understand a little bit.

Even if he was beaten again, Ji Xun felt that if he could understand the meaning of his fist, it would be worth it.

The old man naturally understood, and said: "Martial arts can be learned, and they can be mastered quickly through skill cards. But the realm must be understood."

Ji Xun rolled his eyes at him again: You can’t do anything?

 That’s it for other places, but there are a lot of people who have understood the "meaning" in this mine.

 Just like the distorted miners on the fifth and sixth floors of the mine, they have more or less understood it.

 There should not be any shortcuts.

Looking at Ji Xun's eyes, Gong Wu also guessed what he was thinking and directly rejected his idea: "Don't look at the residual spiritual pollution here containing some incomplete ancient fighting spirit. But those are other people's, not Yours. Rules, exercises, martial arts routines, etc., you can follow the path that others have taken, imitate and learn. Only the 'meaning' is your own, it is the attribute of your soul. Everything in your soul is other people's things, It’s like a smelly ditch where all kinds of water can collect, do you think it will be polluted?”

As he spoke, the old man said lazily: "So even if you stay here all your life, you can understand a hundred or a thousand other people's fighting intentions, but you may not be able to understand your own intention. Instead, those fragments of thoughts It will make you lose your mind, like those deformed miners, who will eventually go crazy."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun felt helpless as he listened.

This was originally a shortcut he thought of. He had tried it before and found it fruitful.

 It turned out that we were going the wrong way.

 The old man didn't remind me before, probably because he was waiting to scold him now.

Gong Wu continued: "And I can tell you very clearly that only when you understand the 'meaning' can you truly understand what life is. And the essence of 'divine power' is actually to recognize one's own soul in one aspect Where. I can’t explain it too clearly to you. You can understand as much as you can.”

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun is naturally convinced.

 He was also grateful to have this senior’s guidance, which saved him from taking too many detours.

However, just after he thought that his question was fruitless, the old man changed the topic, "But if you want to say that there is a shortcut, there is."

Ji Xun immediately cast his eyes attentively and listened: "Oh?"

The old man didn't know what he thought of, and said quietly: "If the heart does not die, the mind will not live."

Ji Xun thought about this sentence and showed doubts: "???"

The old man explained: "It's not just that you are not afraid of life and death. It is also your emotional understanding of others, all things, and the entire world. Only after your original state of mind has undergone drastic changes, and some of your original solid cognition collapses, can you recognize yourself clearly. . In that state, it is very easy to understand some of your own ideas."

  After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "However, I think most people are not willing to take this shortcut. This is how the teacher taught me before. It's a pity that I didn't understand it at the time, and I thought..."

 The words stopped abruptly at this point.

 The old man took a sip of wine.

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun heard the sudden melancholy tone, looked at the smile that quietly faded, and guessed that this man might have experienced "heart death" when he was young.

 A few days passed in a flash.

Ji Xun’s studies are progressing very quickly.

In just two months, he learned that it might take others half a lifetime to understand the secrets of martial arts.

Although most of what he has learned now is still the basics of qigong master, he still enjoys it.

The master led him through the door, guiding the way like a beacon, and he left on his own for those who followed.

Ji Xun no longer pursues the martial arts skills and moves he once pursued.

Rather, my daily practice is to catch birds and practice controlling my qi.

 Then learn some of your own magic and mystical techniques and read the classics.

 Focused and efficient.

 There are new changes every day.

 Furthermore, I would go to the seventh floor of the mine at a fixed time every day to have a meal with the old man and learn something new.

 This day.

Ji Xun arrived at the seventh floor as usual.

 Now he can stay in this highly polluted environment for more than half an hour.

 The old and the young were sitting around the food as usual, eating and drinking.

Ji Xun also asked new questions he encountered.

It’s not just about qigong, but also other magic and mystical methods.

 The vision of this senior can often give him enlightening guidance.

Gong Wu was talking while drinking wine.

"Normally speaking, if you want to have a deep understanding of the fifty-two mysterious magic methods, you must have sufficient knowledge of the power and laws of the demon gods in this sequence. But your boy is an exception. I have observed that in your career sequence You are very special. You have a very strong affinity and affinity for any magic and mysticism. You seem to be mixed but not good, but in fact you can specialize in everything. It will definitely be difficult for you to follow this path. But if you succeed, I will It’s hard to imagine how high that road will go.”

 He now has no idea about Ji Xun’s career sequence.

 The more I understand it, the more clearly I realize that even with my current vision, I cannot see through this [JOKER] sequence.

 But Gong Wu didn't worry too much.

This world hides too many secrets.

Only the card master’s fifty-two sequences, less than half of which remain today.

The higher you stand, the smaller you feel.

 What humans can see now is just the surface of this world.

"I have traveled across almost the entire Eastern Continent, to the disaster-ridden 'Shadow Rift Valley', to the 'Hyjal Hell Volcano', to the 'Lake of Death', and to a rift in the world that descends 10,000 meters. I survived a narrow escape . While I was pursuing martial arts, I also peeked into countless secrets hidden in history. But the more I saw some of the so-called big world, the more I felt that human power was too insignificant in front of this world."

"And after I realized the 'divine power', I had a new understanding of the world. It was a completely different level of cognition. Work hard to become stronger. The scenery at high places is better than you imagine. I can't describe it. , only if you see it with your own eyes, and with my current state, can you see that there are broader mountains above my head."

ˆ “.”

  After drinking too much, this old man behaved like an ordinary old man and talked too much.

 But Ji Xun also likes to listen.

 This old man has been missing for eighty years.

 But his life is truly legendary.

 The stories he told are scenery that countless people will never be exposed to in their lifetime.

Of course, this coquettish old man occasionally brags, such as "I was so handsome when I was young, and countless girls dreamed of marrying me."

 The two of them were drinking and chatting like this.

No one can disturb me underground.

 However, today, some uninvited guests came.

 Suddenly, Gong Wu, who had the bottle of wine in his mouth, looked stern: "Someone is coming!"

Ji Xun was fascinated by the story and was surprised when he heard these words: Is there someone here?

The miners on the seventh floor of this mine will definitely not come, and neither will the aberrations. Who will come?

Gong Wu's perception was much stronger than Ji Xun's. He seemed to have discovered something, and said with a serious expression: "This person is not weak. Put it away first."

Ji Xun understood immediately and put away all the food and wine.

The old man waved his hand, and the surrounding smell that was originally controlled in a small area was instantly gone.

The two of them jumped onto the rock wall and hid behind an inconspicuous boulder.

Ji Xun looked at the intersection in the distance and was curious about who could come here.

 After waiting for a short time, a group of six people walked in.

The five people wore special black cloaks with gold patterns, and in the middle was a young man with silver hair and an iron crown of thorns.

This young man did not hide his face, he was quite handsome, and one could immediately see the aura of a superior person who was not angry or assertive.

Ji Xun took one look at the silver hair and the luxurious golden robe, and immediately guessed the identity of this person: "The New King of Oran?"

This Shangbang Prison is the property of the Golden Oak Security Company, and the Royal Family of Oran is behind it.

With such a large treasure house, it is normal for this "mine owner" to come and inspect it.

But Ji Xun looked at the phantom of the demon **** who also wore a crown rising behind the young king, and his eyes shrank slightly: "It turns out that this guy has successfully fused the epic source card [K of Spades - Tyrant]. ."

 Calculating the time is almost the same.

  The barrier I created in Lion City before absorbs fear. It is normal to be able to fuse this source card.

Furthermore, this [Tyrant] sequence is said to have mastered the two high-level laws of kingship and fear. With some treasures, it is reasonable to say that it can resist the pollution in this mine.

However, when Ji Xun saw the crown on the head of the silver-haired young man, he felt familiar for some reason.

 Look up again and look at the rock wall.

Isn't this the crown worn by the royal family protected by the weeping angel in the mural?

On the other side, Gong Wu also recognized the crown and wondered: "Hey, that's strange. Why did that old guy Merlin give this guy the 'King's Key'?"

Ji Xun cast a curious look as he listened. He seemed to have heard this word somewhere.

Gong Wu understood his look.

This old man was not like other people who were hiding their words. He blurted out: "It's the crown on the kid's head. This is the 'King's Key'. There were originally five pieces. One piece was kept in the hands of old man Merlin. Unexpectedly, it was all It fell into the hands of this boy."

Ji Xun asked: "Senior, what is the king's secret key?"

Gong Wu glanced at Ji Xun. He seemed to think this topic was very sensitive, but he already had enough trust. He said directly: "This is the biggest secret of Innocence City."

    ???”

Ji Xun was even more curious when he heard this.

The old man added: "When we first discovered Innocence City, we accidentally discovered the iron cable leading to the old continent. The spelled iron cable itself is an artifact. And this crown is the key to controlling the iron cable. You can also see the meaning of the old road. Later, in order to prevent someone from monopolizing the key, it was divided into several pieces. I don’t know about the others, but I am sure that Merlin has one. Moreover, he will never give it to others easily. "

As he spoke, he muttered to himself: "It's strange. Although that old guy Merlin spends all day tinkering with his weird research, his abilities are very tricky. I want to **** the entire Federation from that guy." Not many people can do it. Now it’s given to these Oran remnants?”

 So that’s what the iron rope is about.

Ji Xun felt as if he had heard some high-end secrets.

 At the same time, he was also slightly surprised.

 Although he knew that Master Merlin should be very strong.

 But he is a card maker after all.

But now, this old man at the pinnacle of martial arts can actually say "very difficult"?

   Tut tut, how strong is that?

But Ji Xun is not very interested in the key to the kingdom.

 After all, he has seen that those Oran remnants have too many high-end secrets in their hands.

He was more curious, what are these people doing here?

 Watching those people walking towards the bottomless pit in the center of the mine, Ji Xun also asked curiously: "Senior, what is in this pit?"

The old man shook his head and said in an uncertain tone: "About two hundred meters down, there is an obelisk. But the pollution there is already beyond the reach of me, and I don't know what is written on it. What. Even deeper, I still can’t see the bottom, and I don’t know what’s underneath.”

Ji Xun listened and expressed his understanding.

If the pollution in this mine is still like air, then the pollution in the pit is completely like a pool of black water.

 You can’t even see it, let alone go down.

But after listening to the "stone tablet", Ji Xun thought of the underground palace at the ruins of Xia Mucheng.

 There was such a stone tablet at that time?

This kind of stone tablet seems to be a fixed standard for some kind of super-level seal?

 Could it be that this is also the remains of a sealed angel?

Thinking of this, Ji Xun vaguely guessed what those guys were doing.

At this time, Gong Wu once again said something surprising: "However, these guys have been here once more than half a year ago. Last time, they fished out a 'black coffin' here."

 “Coffin?”

Ji Xun blinked when he heard this.

 He is so familiar.

 At the ruins of Xia Mu City, when those Oran remnants went to take in the remains of the angel, didn't they channel a black coffin?

And Nanjing also said that when the old King of Oran was about to die, someone also moved a mysterious black coffin into the palace.

At first glance, it seems that it was the one fished out from here?

 So I guessed it correctly. Could it be that there was really a piece of the remains of an angel in this pit?
