Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 69: The Road to High Position and the God-Slaying Weapon
Sunshine, beach. An old man wearing sunglasses is doubting his life.
His mood can be described as ups and downs.
Obviously, the quality of this batch of human trialists is very good;
Obviously, his Wu Tianzhu inheritance can directly point to the root;
But why has it come to this?
Old Man Wu couldn't help but start reminiscing.
The first candidate was quite mysterious, and he couldn't see much through him. He could only see that this candidate had mastered a lot of skills, and they were not just many and loose, but many and refined.
It is because Wu Tianzhu has integrated countless martial arts into one, and has made comprehensive efforts to bring forth new and old ones that he was able to reach the pinnacle step by step.
This candidate possesses similar traits to himself—mastery of skills, integration of skills—and is very suitable to inherit his mantle!
When Old Man Wu left behind the origin of his inheritance, he probably never thought that there would be such a suitable successor.
But this candidate refused and left decisively.
It was too late for Old Man Wu to stay.
What's more, he is Wu Tianzhu, the most outstanding person in the human race. How could he possibly give away his inheritance with such a shameless attitude?
Impossible!
The old man could only curse as he watched candidate number one leave and wait for the second candidate to arrive. However, he was already bored.
With such a rough diamond in front of him, how could he possibly look down on other candidates?
Oh, he's into it again.
The second candidate did not master as many skills. This young man only learned swordsmanship and loved swordsmanship, but he was like a sword out of its sheath, able to cut through everything.
As soon as they entered this place, the young sword master began to explore the path to the ninth realm with him.
His path as Wu Tianzhu was to combine countless martial arts into one and use martial arts to gain access to the world.
If the young sword master accepts his inheritance, he does not need to learn any martial arts besides sword skills. He can focus on sword and master countless sword skills.
This is in line with his Wu Tianzhu's inheritance, and can also allow him to embark on a path that is more suitable for the young swordsman himself.
It is not necessary to follow his path completely, one step at a time.
How could inheritance be such an inconvenient thing?
Although Wu Tianzhu preferred the first candidate, the Sword Saint's talent was far beyond his expectations. When discussing the path to the Ninth Realm, some insights opened his eyes.
However, just as he was about to bestow the inheritance, the second candidate left.
Gone.
After saying goodbye, he left without hesitation, leaving Old Man Wu staring at him with wide eyes.
He cursed.
He was in a bad mood.
He was dull.
In this context, the third candidate was introduced.
As soon as the candidate stepped in, Old Man Wu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Knife, sword, spear, fist... Master all kinds of martial arts, and reach the pinnacle in all of them!"
Isn't this just like him when he was young!
His love for this candidate is no less than that for the first candidate.
He must be kept!
The two performed martial arts on the beach and discussed the tides.
Few people, no, no one has ever been able to keep up with his thoughts on martial arts. This young man in black has mastered too many skills.
But after a while,
"Combining numerous martial arts into one? This is not the path I want."
Black Knife exits the inheritance space.
The old man is left doubting his life.
…
What is the road to a high position?
Is it a concept, a ritual, or a path to realization?
All of this is possible.
Fang You only has a few clues about his own path, because he has not yet cultivated to the peak of demigod .
However, two of his own apostles had already cultivated to the peak of demigod status, and had reached the end, reaching the stage where they needed to carve out their own path in order to move forward.
At the end of the realm column on their panels, the “!” symbol also appeared.
Just like the previous eightfold awakening.
They can already reach the ninth level of awakening.
But the ninth realm breakthrough is no longer called awakening, but the road to a higher position. This barrier, like a natural moat, cannot be broken by simply "guiding and awakening".
[The Road to a High Position (Liu Feng)] (In Progress...)
[Basic guidance: 100W destiny points, 100 divine crystals]
[Basic conditions: flawless demigod body, perfect demigod form, divine blood flowing like a river, divine soul burning like a fire...]
[Basic ritual: 3 red-level materials, 100 divine crystals, and a pile of other materials.]
All of the above conditions are common.
The really harsh conditions are:
〔Road to XX〕
〔① Swordsmith: Forge with blood and sweat, forge three weapons of gods and demons, and at least one hundred divine swords.〕
〔② Ultimate Sword Cultivator: Starts with the sword, becomes proficient in the sword, and becomes the ultimate in the sword. A pure sword cultivator only needs the sword, and everything else will only affect the speed of drawing the sword.〕
〔③ Ten thousand swords come to the court: use billions of precious swords to pave the way for XX and cut open the door to a high position.〕
This is the path he revealed to Liu Feng through "guidance of destiny".
However, even if it was fate that led the way, this path was still displayed as "XX". Only when Liu Feng really made it through would the path he took be revealed.
This is the path that suits him best.
In comparison, no matter how profound Wu Tianzhu's path is, it is just someone else's path.
"However, it is fate that has given me guidance. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for a peak demigod to carve out his own path."
It's better than a blind cat catching a dead mouse, but not much better.
Of course, there is more than one way for a peak demigod to reach a high position. Just like what Wu Tianzhu said when discussing with Liu Feng, combining countless sword skills into one, integrating them, and climbing up these steps... Liu Feng is likely to be able to take this path.
However, if he did not accept Wu Tianzhu's inheritance, it would take him a long time to figure it out on his own.
However, this sword-fusion path is not as compatible as the "XX path" guided by fate.
"Moreover, even if it is guided by fate, the revelations given in many places are vague and require the promoted to think and comprehend on their own."
Liu Feng is a super genius after all, so it shouldn't be that he can't comprehend it.
Of the three tips given by "The Road to XX", the first one is the clearest, but also the most financially expensive.
The three weapons of gods and demons that the swordsmith needs to forge are undoubtedly the ultimate weapons of the red grade. The one hundred divine swords must also be legendary divine swords.
This is called a sword forger? This is a coin burner!
Of course, Liu Feng is not a blacksmith and cannot forge swords.
What he had to do was to take more than a hundred ordinary epic sword blanks and various rare materials, and cast and nourish them with his own blood and sweat.
In terms of consumables, it is much cheaper than actually forging a hundred divine or ultimate weapons.
What is cast will all be the innate divine weapons.
The price is...his life force.
Lots of vitality!
The road to a high position cannot be without price, not to mention that he is going to break through the ultimate sword path. If he breaks through, he will enter a whole new world, and if he fails, he will die.
Heidao, Xitina, Xing Jinglei and others all passed Wu Tianzhu's inheritance test, but all chose not to accept the inheritance.
They all want to go their own way.
Teacher Fang certainly supports them.
Even if this road is a little bit expensive.
“What is my own path?”
…
Liu Feng and Heidao are not the only ones who have obtained the qualification to inherit Tianzhu.
Yiluoxi chose to enter the inheritance space of Yantianzhu to take a look, and then walked out with a pout. The style of this wildly dancing strong man was not suitable for her, the Queen Yiluoxi!
The inheritance of the Eight Pillars of Heaven is indeed precious, but they want to forge their own path.
The mentor gave them inspiration.
But even without the guidance of fate, people like Liu Feng and Yi Luoxi would still stubbornly choose the latter. They are still young and have endless brilliance.
How can a person who does not have an indomitable spirit reach the top and see the unknown scenery?
The wisps of consciousness left behind by several Tianzhu, such as Yan Tianzhu, Gang Tianzhu, Hua Tianzhu..., were somewhat surprised to see that their inheritance was rejected, and they shook their heads with a smile.
Wu Tianzhu is certainly not unaware of the temperament of super geniuses, but he is different from other Tianzhus.
His path not only leads to the highest peak, but also encompasses all kinds of martial arts. The successor can completely forge a new path of his own based on his path.
"But Candela has already failed. This road is a dead end no matter which way we go."
This makes so much sense.
Old Man Wu remained silent and had nothing to say.
The trial ground is not a one-man show for Xinhuo. After Heidao and others refused the inheritance, the qualification for inheritance was extended to lower levels, and other trial participants were also able to enter the inheritance hall and try in turn.
But the reincarnated ancient gods did not want to accept the inheritance. What they were eyeing was the Kandra relics.
They already had their own path.
However, it must be admitted that none of the nine pillars of Kandra are weak. The most ordinary pillars are all top-ranked strongmen in the ninth realm, stronger than their peak in their previous lives.
It would be a lie to say I'm not jealous.
But after thinking about it, they still tend to go their own way. With the path of the ancient gods in the previous life as the cornerstone, combined with the mysterious path of this life, they are confident that they can reach a higher peak than in the previous life.
"But if it's the legendary Wu Tianzhu, the man known as the God of Martial Arts..."
Being this man's disciple is not only not a loss of face, but also an honor.
If I can obtain this inheritance, I may have a chance to break through to the tenth level and reach the pinnacle.
A reincarnated ancient god stared at the first pillar of inheritance and murmured in his heart.
However, this inheritance pillar did not open the door to him, and he could only leave with disappointment.
Many reincarnated ancient gods hold similar ideas.
They looked at the Pillar of Inheritance that was emitting a mysterious halo, and confirmed their previous guess, "Sure enough, those who ranked ahead of us were other reincarnated ancient gods, not humans."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have left without taking even one inheritance."
"However, it seems very difficult to obtain Wu Tianzhu's inheritance... I can only say that he is worthy of being called the God of Martial Arts!"
…
As time passed, trial participants came and went.
"It wasn't easy. The inheritance of Master Tianzhu has finally been handed over."
Trial Officer Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Fang You was also watching from afar in the core of the Trial Secret Realm. The participants entered the inheritance hall individually, but Fang could see clearly who had obtained the Heavenly Pillar inheritance.
“This is almost the best possible outcome.”
"The great increase in human power will also help to resist the evil gods' disasters."
The top masters of their own clan did not want to follow the path of others, nor did they need this inheritance that much. But for those veteran demigods who had wasted hundreds or thousands of years in the demigod realm, the value of this inheritance was higher than any treasure.
Soon, the pillars of inheritance dimmed one after another.
Only remaining...
The inherited light column of Wu Tianzhu.
The trialist he loved was unwilling to follow his path.
He didn't think highly of the trial-taker who wanted to be his successor.
On the beach, old man Wu lay looking up at the sky, feeling very sad.
…
Nine... The inheritance of the eight pillars of heaven is only a part of the heavy rewards in the central trial ground.
Far from all.
The Kandra Empire also left behind many valuable treasures and cutting-edge technologies here, and there were also two god-killing weapons waiting for him to unbox.
Some of these rewards are treasures suitable for individual use.
The highest-level ones include scarlet-level ultimate weapons, legendary ability inheritance, legendary secret treasures that can directly increase strength, and so on.
At the peak of demigod level, they can briefly rival the high-ranking Liu Feng and Zhou Bao. After obtaining these treasures, their combat power will be significantly improved.
Other salary earners who got higher rankings will see greater improvements.
More treasures need to be used, coordinated and managed based on forces.
Fang You called Heidao, An Jianyou and others to pack up the harvest and take it away, asking Xiaohuan to count it.
His eyes fell on several of the valuable treasures.
[Withered Tree of Life (Red)]
[This tree species has decayed and died, and is unable to truly sprout, but it still contains a lot of the original power of an adult ancient tree.]
There are three of these withered and lonely tree species!
It was found by plundering the world's resources in the early stage of the Kandra Empire's God-killing Plan.
Kendela was not good at this, so these trees have survived to this day.
"The power inside the tree is very difficult to extract, and it also contains extremely strong pollution. Its value is on the lower end among this batch of gods and demons' treasures..."
The Yuan Trial Officer asked.
Are you sure you want to pick these three tree species?
There are so many treasures in the trial ground that even if Xinhuo takes up half of the top 100 places and most of the top 30 and top 20 places, he cannot take away all the treasures here.
Take away at most half.
This requires a trade-off.
But for their own family, the value of these three tree seeds of life is much higher than ordinary weapons of gods and demons.
Of course, compared with special red treasures like the Dimensional Palace, its value is less.
He also picked up two valuables similar to the Dimensional Palace to use as public transportation for the organization.
〔Visualization Garden (Red)〕
[Explanation: A treasure of the palace, with the ability to jump along dreams and thoughts, and can hide in dreams.]
〔Taikun Tower Ship (Red)〕
[Explanation: A palace-like treasure, it can be large or small, as big as the world.]
In the entire treasury of the trial land, there are only these two precious palace-type treasures.
Teacher Fang was naturally the first one to pick it up.
In addition, he also picked up 5 world-famous stones and 120 man-made secret stones.
Although it is man-made, its function is no different from the real secret stone.
Candela has the technology of artificial secret stone and artificial secret! This technology was top secret in the Candela era, but here, it can be easily exchanged.
Oh, yes, there are a total of 13 Divine Sources.
Not a lot.
The number of high-ranking evil spirits and high-ranking evil god servants that Kendra had killed in those days was far more than this number. However, Kendra also spent most of it on research and manufacturing of god-killing weapons.
These dozen or so pieces have been preserved as collectibles.
There are 14 in total, to be exact.
It was just that he had used the Battle Tower as a trial field not long ago, and carried hundreds of myths, demigods, and even high-ranking warriors to fight, consuming a full divine source of energy in the process.
Teacher Fang counted the items, walked forward step by step, and stopped in front of two huge boxes.
God-killing weapon.
They are the pinnacle of the Kandra Empire's rune craftsmanship! Barely one of them.
Of course, the manufacture of any god-killing weapon is based on numerous legendary materials and precious treasures, and technology alone is far from enough.
He looked at the trial officer "Yuan".
"Our empire has forged a total of 18 God-killing weapons. Each of these weapons has its own function and is different."
"The Sequence 02 God-killing Weapon [City of Silence] has the power to suppress everything, and it can also work on Heretic Gods. Not to mention the high-ranking ninth realm, even if an ancient god of the tenth realm steps into it, he will lose most of his power and status, and may even become an ordinary mortal."
"Sequence 03's God-killing Weapon [Reincarnation Clock] possesses the power to manipulate time. It can make the time in the area repeat infinitely, forming an unsolvable time loop."
Fang You's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this.
It is indeed a weapon that is qualified to kill evil gods.
"So, the two god-killing weapons preserved in the trial ground are these two?"
"cough……"
Trial Officer Yuan turned his head away awkwardly. "Of course not. These two weapons are top-notch even among the weapons that kill gods. We have searched for the whereabouts of these two weapons, but to no avail."
"Of course, these two weapons in front of us also possess infinite power."
The god-killing weapon on the left looks like an ordinary sphere at first glance, a bit like a globe.
"This weapon is called [Sky World Fortress], and its serial number is 14. It is similar to the common aerospace fortresses and sky fortresses, but the cornerstone of this weapon is a higher world. The empire transformed an entire world and made it into a war weapon."
"It has the longest range, the greatest energy output, and unlimited energy."
"This god-killing weapon has been damaged, but it still possesses extremely terrifying destructive power."
Fang You nodded.
There is a noticeable gap , like an apple with a bite taken out of it.
The Light Red and the Realm Lord's Hand were both badly damaged, and the extent of damage to the Sky World Fortress was much less than he expected. The Trial Officer might have repaired it.
"The god-killing weapon on the right is called [Spear of Fate and Cause], and its serial number is 08. It has the strongest attacking ability and the rule ability of absolute hit, but this god-killing weapon is extremely difficult to activate and requires a high price of fate. Otherwise, its serial number is definitely not just 08."
"This weapon is only slightly damaged, but you must be careful when using it. If you are unable to pay the price of your fate and force it to be used, disaster will befall you."
The ordinary spear with a little rust on it hung quietly in the air.
Fang You stared.
The power of fate surged like a tide.
