Chapter 110 Ancient Ninth Grade Ten Thousand Miles Thunder Pool! Geniuses are like clouds! (Third update)

"The volcanic plain is just ahead." Zhao Xing used his bright eyes to look up and could see some green vegetation appearing ahead.

"I used the Earth-Splitting Technique three times. This road to the Earth Fire Plain should be able to hold back the people behind for quite some time. No one will be able to catch up for a while."

Zhao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief. After running out of the Earth Fire Plain, he immediately found a shady place to rest.

He did not hold up the cloud, mainly because it was now in the air for three days and had reached its maximum power.

Even the almanac has a minor warning: [Three days in the sky, the sky will return to its normal position, clouds will be hard to gather and rain will be hard to fall.]

"It's hard to even make clouds move, let alone make it rain."

Although Zhao Xing practiced the Cloud Swallowing Technique, which allowed him to absorb the power of water to the greatest extent, the power of water was not obvious at this time. No matter how much he could absorb, it would be useless without it.

“I don’t know if there’s anyone ahead of me.”

When entering the Great Lakes entrance, a slight deviation in the angle of drilling through the boundary wall may result in a large difference in the actual landing point.

Zhao Xing judged that he was relatively close to the Earth Fire Plain - Sinongjian route, but there might be someone closer.

"Forget it. I don't want to think too much about it. It's just 10,000 points. It's better not to get hurt." Zhao Xing wanted to continue traveling in the air for three days, but he still had to repay Lihuo Zhenjun.

If you get injured, like a broken leg, that would be troublesome.

"It is best to return the Dao within a month. Returning the Dao within three months will have an impact. Returning the Dao after more than half a year is torture. You will be constantly targeted by the fire power between heaven and earth, as if you are in a furnace."

Unless absolutely necessary and in a hurry to travel, no one would choose to borrow the way of Master Lihuo.

If you don’t pay it back within a year, you’ll be dead!

As for other Taoist temples, they also have similar methods, but the cost is even greater.

If that time really comes, unless the dean of the Taoist temple is willing to take action and accept you as a true disciple, you can postpone your return to Taoism for the time being, but you still have to return to Taoism and eliminate the evil afterwards.

Or maybe he has a treasure in his hand, or the emperor has issued an edict.

The emperor is invincible in the Qiyun Dynasty mode, and the imperial edict can certainly exempt him from returning to the Tao.

However, these methods are just for reference, and the difficulty of obtaining them is greater than returning to the Tao itself.

After resting for a while, I slowly recovered my strength.

Ju Yuan absorbs the vital energy of heaven and earth, and generally what it inhales and exhales is mild vital energy.

Now the vital energy of heaven and earth is mixed with the scorching power of fire, making it difficult to gather and absorb it.

Fortunately, he had taken the Giant Whale Pill and his physique became much stronger.

The soul of life has reached the middle stage of the ninth rank. The soul of life determines the bearing capacity of the seven spirits.

Therefore, Zhao Xing was able to slowly recover in this harsh environment.

"According to the ancient practice system, there are nine grades of Ju Yuan, eight grades of Ling Qiao, seven grades of Di Sha, six grades of Tian Gang, five grades of Chun Yuan, four grades of Yuan Po, three grades of Yuan Hun, two grades of Tian Yun, and one grade of Ming Gong."

"When you reach the Spirit Bridge Realm, a bridge between the body and the heaven and earth is built. The speed of absorbing vital energy increases greatly, and the efficiency of purifying vital energy also increases greatly."

"After that, you can use the earth veins to practice evil spirits, and use the stars to practice magic, further strengthening your body. When you reach the fifth level, the energy absorbed into your body can be called pure energy, and your body will also show magical properties."

"A fourth-grade Yuan Soul nourishes the seven souls with pure Yuan Qi. A third-grade Yuan Soul nourishes the seven souls, and the Life Soul also grows stronger. It can frequently connect with the Heaven Soul and the Earth Soul, and begin to sense its own destiny."

"The second level of destiny begins to think of ways to enhance one's own destiny, looking for a beautiful place in the world to cultivate, to enhance one's own destiny. This level begins to look for a blessed place to cultivate."

"The first-grade Fate Palace begins to cultivate fate. Knowing how long you can live, you start to build the Fate Palace and protect the three souls in an attempt to change your fate."

While recovering his vitality, Zhao Xing also sorted out the familiar information in his mind: "The difference between the ancient law system and the destiny system is that the destiny dynasty has intervened in this system and wants to 'act on behalf of heaven'."

"Whether it's Ju Yuan, Ling Qiao, Di Sha, Tian Gang, or Chun Yuan, the luck of the country can easily help people complete this process. To reach the stage of Chun Yuan, it's not that difficult. After that, we need to cooperate with external objects, grant officials a blessed place to practice, and finally help forge the Palace of Life."

"If the Fate Palace is completed, one can live for 800 years, but most officials cannot live for 800 years. The Fortune Dynasty does not train officials for nothing. They train people and use them. Those who can reach the first-grade Fate Palace have gone through life and death, and this process will also cause some loss of lifespan."

Zhao Xing's requirements during Emperor Jing's reign were not high, as long as he could reach the fifth-grade pure essence realm. Emperor Jing was too stingy, and it was very difficult to reach the fifth grade or above under him, more difficult than in any other period.

He was greatly influenced by Zhou Gong during the reign of Taizu. Zhou Gong's saying "Encourage officials but not the common people" was understood by Jingdi as "It is the suffering of officials and the aristocratic families."

For a family with a prominent reputation like Zong Shichang, if one wants to become a minor ninth-rank official, one has to give up half of their family property even if they use connections or tricks.

"Om~"

At this moment, the almanac in Zhao Xing's arms trembled slightly.

It is shown above that during the three-day transit, one of the suns has begun to deviate from its correct position.

"We can continue on our journey."

Zhao Xing took out the map and began to check the direction carefully.

"There are three routes from the Earth Fire Plain to the Sinongjian."

"The first is to cross the Gangfeng Mountains. As the name suggests, there are strong gale-force winds blocking the way. Setting up this route can also be regarded as an assessment of the reserve army's Si Nong's control over wind magic."

"The second is to pass through the [Ten Thousand Miles Thunder Pool]. In the Ten Thousand Miles Thunder Zone, there are extremely terrifying thunderclouds that never dissipate all year round. Only after seven days of flying in the sky will they become thinner and lighter, and after ten days of flying in the sky will they completely dissipate."

"The third is to follow the [Sky Fire Road]. The Sky Fire Road is a field of holes created by meteorites. They are extremely regular, and the meteorite craters are like circular chains spreading across the earth."

"Of the three routes, the Thousand Miles Thunder Pond and the Gangfeng Mountains are the closest, and the Skyfire Road is a little further away. Of course, I can also walk along the Earthfire Plain for another half a day and take another detour, but the total distance will be more than three times farther."

Zhao Xing was carrying a bamboo box on his back and walking forward. He didn't know his exact location in the volcanic plains, so he had to walk around first.

"If I see a mountain with my clear eyes, it means I am closer to the Gangfeng Mountains."

"If I see the thunderclouds first, it means I am closer to the Wanli Thunder Pool."

"It's best to go through the Ten Thousand Miles Thunder Pond. After all, I have practiced the Swallowing Cloud Technique, and I only know the middle-level Yin Wind Technique in the Gangfeng Mountains, but I haven't had time to learn the Yang Wind Technique yet, so I only have the initial level of perfection."

Since he had to observe the terrain and the power of the Three-Day Flying Sword was still there, it would be too exhausting to use magic to help him travel. It would be better for him to run forward with his own body. So Zhao Xing ran while carrying the bamboo box on his back.

With every step he took, Zhao Xing could feel the Fire of Li wrapped around his body weakening a little, but he would think of this every mile he walked.

After walking ten miles, the weakening of the Fire Path was twice as fast as expected.

"Carrying a load forward can also speed up the return to the Dao. Lihuo Zhenjun is not rigid." Zhao Xing smiled lightly. The original intention of setting this rule was to make people feel tired and not to disturb Lihuo Daoyuan to borrow the altar fire pond easily. Carrying a load and running doubles the fatigue, so the return to the Dao speed will naturally speed up accordingly.

Just as Zhao Xing was running forward to find the next area.

In the underground fire plain at the rear, hundreds of people have gathered in front of the second underground fire isolation zone.

"It's so hot! It's killing me!"

"Who the hell is casting this spell? It's absolutely insane!"

"Don't let me know, or I'll beat him up!"

"I am so angry. Is the current violent level of the Earth Fire Plain normal? I have lost all my eyebrows!" "You are lucky, brother. Only my eyebrows are gone. There are more than a dozen bald heads and bald men over there."

"..."

"Water, water... Which brother has brought some water? Can you give me a sip? Good people will have a peaceful life." Ouyang Song weakly walked among the crowd, trying to ask for some water to drink.

His lips are now cracked, his forehead is red, and his eyes are bloodshot. The anger has already invaded his body. It can no longer be said that he has a simple high anger level, but has reached the level where fire poison has been generated in his body.

"Sorry, I don't have any water."

"Get away from me, you want to drink but I also want to drink!"

"Humph, shame on you, the military minister is still short of water?"

"If you don't have the strength, why go to the Earth Fire Plain?"

"Brother, if you get some water, give me some."

"..."

Ouyang Song was so tired that he lay on the ground and didn't want to talk anymore.

He looked at the three suns flying in the sky, and the pride he had when he first came in was gone.

When he was in Wupan Mountain, he was respected wherever he went, and everyone he met greeted him with a smile.

He has performed well since he was a teenager and was selected into the Five Plate Army. The most common comment he heard was "genius".

Especially after being selected by the Zhenhai Army, he was even more proud and proud. Before leaving, his family held a seven-day banquet to celebrate, because he was only 26 years old this year and got such an opportunity. What an honor it was!

But now, Ouyang Song has no pride at all.

There are hundreds of geniuses like him here, and most of them are better than him.

Although they were also subjected to the three-day scorching heat in the air, at least half of the people here were able to stand and were not poisoned by the fire.

"What kind of crappy genius am I..." Ouyang Song muttered to himself while lying on the ground. He was now extremely eager to have a glass of water in front of him.

"Gulong~" Ouyang Song swallowed and his eyes gradually focused, because he actually drank a glass of water.

Although it was little, it was enough to restore some of his sanity.

"Thank you, thank you." Ouyang Song looked at the young man in front of him and stood up to salute.

"You're welcome. My name is Wei Chen, and I was also selected by the Zhenhai Army to participate in the training."

"Thank you, Brother Wei. My name is Ouyang Song."

"You told me." Wei Chen helped Ouyang Song up and gave him a big sip of water. "I just came here. Do you know what's going on?"

As the clear water entered his body, Ouyang Song immediately took the opportunity to suppress his anger and spoke with some strength: "I don't know who walked in front. It would be fine if he just walked, but he also cast a spell to destroy the weak points of the Earth Fire Plain. I can't see what kind of spell that person cast."

"It should be the Five Elements Earth-Splitting Technique." Wei Chen glanced ahead, "A single Fire Element Earth-Splitting Technique cannot have such a great destructive power, unless that person has perfected the Fire Element Earth-Splitting Technique, or even broken through the shackles and made further progress."

"Why do you think so?" Ouyang Song was stunned.

"Because the fire element here is already too strong." Wei Chen explained, "It is extremely strong. Even if we add a little more fire power after casting the spell, it is impossible to guide the earth veins to explode again."

"So in this case, the Five Elements Earth-Splitting Technique is more powerful because it grabs the remaining four elements in the earth veins as fuel to fuel the fire of the earth veins, which is why it can create this effect of adding fuel to the fire."

"I see." Ouyang Song pretended to understand, but he didn't really understand. He had never practiced the Earth Splitting Technique, nor was he a member of the Earthly Benefit School. As for the Earthly Benefit School, he only practiced the Earth Veins Comprehensive Origin Technique and the Earthly Vault Returning Origin Technique.

But he knew one thing, that Wei Chen was probably much stronger than him.

Even stronger than the Zhuo Li he met before.

"Brother Wei is truly a genius. You will definitely be able to serve in the Zhenhai Army."

Wei Chen shook his head and said, "Brother Ouyang, you are overpraising me. I am confident that I can pass this training. I really don't deserve the title of genius. There are many people who are better than me."

"How many are there?" Ouyang Song was really stubborn and asked directly.

Wei Chen pondered and said, "From what I know, there are at least 20 to 30 people who are stronger than me, most of them are geniuses selected by the Tiger Dragon Army."

"Next are the Lieyang Army and the Black Armor Army."

"I was selected from the Night Owl Army in the Pingman Legion. The Tiger Dragon Army was recruiting people from all over the place at that time. They also came to my place. At that time, I saw the geniuses selected by the Tiger Dragon Army from other places. Their way of selecting people is quite special."

"What's the special method?" Ouyang Song asked.

"They started screening during the recruitment phase. Every time they arrived at a place, they would use the selected talents to fight against the local military talents. The winners would be included in the training list, and the losers would be eliminated and sent back to their original places."

Wei Chen sighed, "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by my brother. At that time, the captain of the Tiger Dragon Army was quite respectful to us and let me pick four people at random. As long as we tied in one game, we could enter. My opponent was of the same ninth rank as me, but I lost all four games."

"What?!" Ouyang Song was shocked, he felt that Wei Chen was already very strong. After all, Jun Sinong could see something from his experience, and Wei Chen came here without any problem and could even talk to him freely.

Unexpectedly, Wei Chen said that there were people of the same level who were stronger than him.

"Brother Wei, do you know..."

"I won't say any more, Brother Ouyang. The sun has already shifted from its correct position in three days. This opportunity is rare. I'm leaving! Goodbye!" Wei Chen stepped on the clouds and used the wind to clear the way. He actually suppressed the pillars that were gushing out of the underground fire and flew directly over a distance of nearly a hundred meters and landed on the other side.

This time he still didn't finish his words, but Ouyang Song was not angry. He just stared at where Wei Chen was going and cupped his hands: "Thank you."

"Boom!"

There was a sound of thunder coming with the wind, and Zhao Xing stood on the hill and looked into the distance.

I saw a black line suspended in the sky, stretching endlessly with almost no end in sight.

"That's the Ten Thousand Mile Thunder Pool. Fortunately, it's only ten thousand miles wide horizontally. I only need to cross about ten miles vertically." Zhao Xing looked at the terrifying thundercloud.

At this time, the three suns were gradually moving away from their correct positions. The opportunity was rare, so Zhao Xing immediately used the wind magic, stepped on the clouds, and rushed towards the thunderclouds.

The sky gradually darkened, and just as he was about to enter the thundercloud area, he noticed that there were seven or eight figures on both sides rushing towards the thundercloud area.

"There are so many experts. There are so many people who have already arrived at the Wanli Thunder Pool, and they are all trying to seize the right time and place."

"It's obvious that they knew that the three-day deviation from the correct position in the sky would have an impact on the thunder pool. Secondly, they discovered that the thunderclouds in this area are weaker." Zhao Xing glanced around and he could see that these people's target was the valley ahead.

Zhao Xing knew that a fight was inevitable, so he immediately increased the wind speed, and the clouds and fog under his feet became thicker.

But when he sped up, the people on both sides seemed to have heard the starting gun and started to hurry up as well.

Some people have even taken action in advance, with a clear goal of seizing control.

"My intermediate wind method is Yin Wind, and I only have the beginner's wind when I use it to travel. It's slower than them, and I'm afraid they will catch up soon." Zhao Xing immediately judged the situation. This was why he chose to go through Wanli Lei Chi. The intermediate wind method, Yin Wind and Yang Wind, he had only learned Yin Wind and hadn't had time to learn Yang Wind.

"It is better to strike first!" Zhao Xing looked at the fifteen people on his left and right who were starting to move towards him. He could not get rid of them even if he opened fire at full power, so he immediately chose to take the initiative to attack.

　This chapter will refine the specific level of the realm, otherwise people will always say that they can't understand it. It will help everyone to have a more specific impression.
