Chapter 268 The Truth of the Shenzhou World

For gods and demons, let alone one mile, even ten miles is very close.

Seeing that they were close to a mile away and Lu Changjing still hadn't noticed his presence, Kong Kong'er finally felt relieved.

It seems that this person's strength is indeed at the level of low-level gods and demons, but there is a high probability that a high-level god and demon is hidden behind him, otherwise he would not be able to take out high-level divine armor and buy so many high-level divine pills and medicines.

A distance of five hundred meters is more than enough for me to use the Star-Picking Hand.

Then just take away everything on him, leaving nothing behind.

"Star Catcher!"

Kong Kong'er attacked Lu Changjing using the perfect level of Star-Picking Hand.

It can enter Lu Changjing's body silently and take away one of his magical weapons without him even noticing. This is the power of the Star-Picking Hand.

"Whoosh..."

Silently, a treasure was picked up by Kong Kong'er. Looking at the treasure he picked up, Kong Kong'er was stunned.

Intermediate artifact!

The soul-destroying treasure!

Soul-breaking cone!
He has a magical weapon of this level right at the start. It's amazing. Who on earth is this Li Shinian? He is so wealthy.

"boom……"

Before Kong Kong'er could put away this intermediate artifact, he saw it suddenly leap up and attack him.

At the same time, Lu Changjing, who was a few miles away, turned his head and looked over. An extremely bright light shone from his eyes.

"Shocking disaster!"

With the Soul-Breaking Cone in front and the Shocking Tribulation as its assistant, they blasted through Kong Kong'er's spiritual defense with unstoppable force. Low-level divine weapons and several talismans could not stop them at all.

Following closely behind, of course, is the Soul-Picking Hand.

"Soul-picking technique!"

When Kong Kong'er retreated and prepared to escape, the soul-picking hand entered his sea of ​​soul and took away a wisp of his three souls and seven spirits. He had no way to escape.

"Boom..."

Kong Kong'er stopped and looked at Lu Changjing who was walking slowly towards him with some despair: "You...you are not a low-level god or devil, you are a high-level god or devil!"

Apparently, the powerful cultivation foundation gave Kong Kong'er the illusion that Lu Changjing's spiritual cultivation had reached the high-level god and demon level. In fact, he was just a low-level god and demon.

However, because the magic weapon was sharp, the soul was powerful and pure, the Soul-Picking Secret Sutra was powerful, and he hid these things by hiding them, Kong Kong'er mistakenly thought that he had been deceived.

It turns out that the truly powerful person is not the person behind Lu Changjing, but Lu Changjing himself.

Not only was he deceived, but the owner of the Liehuo Tower in Fengming Prefecture was also deceived, which resulted in such a misunderstanding.

What Kong Kong'er didn't know was that he was surprised at how strong Lu Changjing was, and Lu Changjing was also surprised at how strong his ability to hide was.

Because he didn't notice Kong Kong'er's arrival just now, until Kong Kong'er approached within a few miles, the danger perception feature began to give an alarm, and Lu Changjing discovered the clue.

Kong Kong'er is a mid-level god or demon after all, and he has mastered corresponding top-level magical skills. He also has various magical talismans and artifacts on him, so he is also a threat to Lu Changjing.

Therefore, danger perception can play a certain role, allowing Lu Changjing to realize the coming of danger. Although it is not fatal, it may cause him serious injuries.

It is precisely because of this that danger perception can play a certain role and serve as an early warning.

If Kong Kong'er was weaker, Lu Changjing wouldn't even be seriously injured. I'm afraid that the danger perception would be of no use.

Fortunately, Kong Kong'er was quite strong, which gave Lu Changjing the opportunity to find him. So he took advantage of the situation and blasted the Soul-Breaking Cone over, making Kong Kong'er mistakenly believe that he had stolen something good.

However, he didn't know that behind the good stuff, there was a deadly attack hidden, which broke Kong Kong'er's spiritual defense in one go, and the shocking disaster also played a certain role.

The soul-picking technique worked easily and took away Kong Kong'er's three souls and seven spirits.

Like flowing water, this famous mid-level god and demon was captured by Lu Changjing and turned into one of his soul-picking slaves.

This is also the soul-picking slave with the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength under Lu Changjing, and he came to the door on his own initiative.

If Lu Changjing were to go looking for him to be enslaved himself, it would probably take a lot of time and energy, and the possibility of success would be slim.

Kong Kong'er, nicknamed the Star-Picking Hand, although his cultivation level is only at the fourth-order level of gods and demons, his fame is in no way inferior to many high-order gods and demons.

Some even call him the number one thief in China. His status and fame far surpass those of the treasure-hunting dragon rat. The two are simply incomparable.

With his amazing skills in picking stars, Kong Kong'er has picked up countless divine artifacts over the past thousand years. His wealth is in no way inferior to that of most high-level gods and demons.

He is good at stealing, escaping, hiding... These skills complement each other and he is very famous in China.

Most of the time he traveled among the three great divine dynasties, making countless gods and demons hate him to death, but they were powerless and couldn't even find him.

However, when treasures appear somewhere, Kong Kong'er can rush there first and steal many artifacts and treasures that gods and demons have worked hard to obtain.

For example, this time, if the danger perception had not worked, Lu Changjing's magical weapons and more than 3,000 bottles of magical pills and medicines would have been stolen.

From Kong Kong'er's memory, Lu Changjing discovered that the reason why the other party's intelligence was so powerful was mainly because they had developed many informants in the three major divine dynasties. Liu Zhe, the chief manager of Fengming Prefecture, was one of them.

Kong Kong'er played an indispensable role in Liu Zhe's becoming the head manager of Liehuo Tower in Fengming Prefecture.

Liu Zhe would tell Kong Kong'er a lot of information about the Liehuo Tower in Fengming Prefecture, and Kong Kong'er would then choose the right person to take action from them. Kong Kong'er had many similar informants.

However, with the capture of Kong Kong'er, these informants will belong to Lu Changjing from now on.

Although Liu Zhe betrayed him, considering that he was already his own man and could continue to provide Kong Kong'er, or Lu Changjing, with a lot of useful information in the future, Lu Changjing naturally would not do anything to him.

On the contrary, Lu Changjing will help Liu Zhe continue to improve and grow, and even help him break through the shackles of gods and demons. In this way, Liu Zhe will definitely have a higher status and identity in Liehuo Tower, and naturally will be able to bring more information and resources to Lu Changjing.

Capturing Kong Kong'er and getting thousands of informants as a gift, this deal was a great one. Lu Changjing happily continued to look through Kong Kong'er's memories and found that many things in his memories were useful to him. Not to mention the information of these informants, just some inside information about the three great dynasties, intelligence on many demons and monsters above level 20, the locations of some treasures and ruins... If used properly, they can bring Lu Changjing considerable benefits.

This time he really made a lot of money, not to mention that Kong Kong'er had several magical weapons on him, two of which were of great use to Lu Changjing.

Swallowing Cloud Ring!
It is a high-level artifact and a rare storage artifact. The space inside is as large as eight cubic meters, which is equivalent to several low-level artifacts.

As expected of a star-picker, he actually had an advanced artifact on him, and it was a storage artifact. He was really rich this time.

Lu Changjing quickly asked him to wipe off all the traces on it, and then he refined it himself, turning it into his own magic weapon.

Then came the second artifact that made Lu Changjing particularly excited. Although its effect overlapped with that of hiding, its effects in other aspects were also outstanding.

Hidden Moon Cloak!

An intermediate artifact, an auxiliary artifact, can effectively help practitioners hide. Although it is not as good as Lu Changjing's characteristics, it is also very good.

Especially on starry nights, its power can be greatly increased, producing extraordinary effects.

Moreover, the Hidden Moon Cloak can increase the speed of the practitioner, allowing him to run faster. Combined with the White Cloud Boots, the effect is simply amazing.

As for other artifacts, either Lu Changjing has no use for them, or their levels are too low and there are already overlapping ones, but they can definitely be sold.

Of course, Lu Changjing would only sell a part of it, and most of it would remain with Kong Kong'er, allowing him to use it to collect resources and treasures for himself, so as to maintain his basic strength.

After some consideration, Lu Changjing decided that at the critical moment, when Kong Kong'er needed to do something important, he could lend him the Hidden Moon Cloak.

Return it to him after use. After all, this thing is not empty, and Lu Changjing can't let him use it all the time.

Although it was his before, it is not his now.

It's good enough to let him use it occasionally, how can he keep it on him all the time?

In addition to the magic weapons, Kong Kong'er also has magic talismans, magic array eyes, magic pills, magic medicines, magic minerals, magic materials... There are a wide variety of things, all of which are quite precious.

There is nothing bad that Kong Kong'er can put in the Swallowing Cloud Ring that he carries with him.

To put it bluntly, the things in here can be exchanged for more than a thousand bottles of high-level elixirs and magic medicines, which is equivalent to half a high-level magic armor.

If one adds many other divine artifacts, especially the Cloud-Swallowing Ring, its value will far exceed that of a high-level divine armor.

Kong Kong'er is worthy of being the number one thief in China, as can be seen from his wealth alone. Some top-level gods and demons who are not doing well may have similar wealth.

After happily putting these things away, Lu Changjing continued to look through Kong Kong'er's memories to see if he had hidden more good things somewhere else.

As expected, the Swallowing Cloud Ring had limited space of only eight cubic meters, so many good things could not fit in it. Kong Kong'er then placed it in other places, spread across many territories of China, with a total number of dozens.

If all of them could be taken out, their value would be no less than hundreds of bottles of high-level elixirs and magic medicines. The worst would be extraordinary spiritual-level resources and treasures, and there would be nothing below the spiritual level.

However, among this information, there was one that stunned Lu Changjing. Although he had learned some truths from Master Fu, Green Dragon Ross, and Treasure Hunting Dragon Rat before, none of them was more detailed than the truth here by Kong Kong'er.

This truth is the truth about the giant shadows. Just as Lu Changjing expected, these giant shadows are indeed extremely hostile to the human race, and they even wish to wipe out the entire human race.

It turns out that the so-called Chinese land, or Chinese world, is actually just a way of flattering itself.

The territory where the human race actually lives should be more accurately called a tower, a tower called Kyushu.

The Shenzhou world is within the Jiuzhou Tower. The Jiuzhou Barrier is released by the Jiuzhou Tower and is also the manifestation of the Jiuzhou Tower.

This territory of 10 billion square kilometers is protected by the Jiuzhou Barrier, and the Jiuzhou Tower is the core of the Jiuzhou Barrier.

Outside the Kyushu barrier, there are countless monsters and demons, some of which are above the gods and demons.

Those are the giant shadows. All the so-called giant shadows that can be perceived by the demigods and above creatures in the Jiuzhou Tower have amazing cultivation and attainments above the gods and demons, otherwise they would not be able to project their figures and malice into the Jiuzhou Tower.

These demons and monsters that were able to project their figures and malice into the Jiuzhou Tower were called world-destroying giant demons, world-destroying giant demons, world-destroying giant ghosts, and world-destroying giant monsters by the Shenzhou high-level officials who knew all of this.

It has the power to destroy the world, so it is called world destruction.

If any of them could enter the Jiuzhou Tower, a catastrophic disaster would be waiting for the human race.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the human race has been struggling to survive in the Jiuzhou Tower, and this Jiuzhou Tower has also protected this area of ​​10 billion square kilometers, preventing the world-destroying demons and monsters from outside from coming in.

However, this also affected the entry of spiritual energy from the outside world, or in other words, the Jiuzhou Tower had been absorbing spiritual energy from both inside and outside the world in order to maintain its own operation and resist the world-destroying demons and monsters from the outside world.

This has resulted in the Shenzhou land's spiritual energy being thin, and the natural resources that can be cultivated are also limited. After so many years, no warrior who transcends gods and demons has been born.

Under such circumstances, the human race in the Jiuzhou Tower is simply unable to resist the world-destroying monsters from the outside world. Once the Jiuzhou Tower is destroyed, the entire human race will face a catastrophe.

As for why the demons and monsters from the outside world have such malice and hatred towards the human race, Kong Kong'er's memory is not very clear, but the human leaders in the Jiuzhou Tower all know that the Jiuzhou Tower cannot be destroyed.

If the Jiuzhou Tower is destroyed, the human race will be finished.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the human race has been cultivating Xuanzun, who is above gods and demons. Unfortunately, there has been no success in all these years. On the contrary, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Jiuzhou Tower becomes thinner and thinner, the possibility of the birth of Xuanzun is also decreasing at an alarming rate.

This made the human race's top leaders gradually despair, especially when they saw that the monsters and demons inside the Jiuzhou Tower were also developing at an alarming rate and were constantly destroying the human race's spiritual veins and treasures. This made the human race's top leaders focus their attention on cultivating Xuan Zun.

Today, the human race cannot even maintain stability inside the Jiuzhou Tower, let alone wipe out the world-destroying demons and monsters outside. Isn't that a joke?

The demons and monsters in Jiuzhou Tower seemed to have received the news from the world-destroying demons and monsters in the outside world, and they tried every means to destroy the spiritual veins, treasure lands, water veins, and earth veins of the land of Shenzhou...

Because the Jiuzhou Tower is closely connected to the entire land of Shenzhou, destroying these things is destroying the Jiuzhou Tower. When the power of the Jiuzhou Tower falls to the extreme, that is the time for the world-destroying demons and monsters outside to break the Jiuzhou Tower and destroy all human beings.

The Demon Suppression Bureau came into being for this reason. On the surface, its mission is to slay demons and maintain the peace of the human race, but in fact its main purpose is to protect the entire human race and the Jiuzhou Tower so that it has enough energy to bless the human race inside.

However, the human race itself is not doing well. There are world-destroying monsters and demons outside, eyeing them covetously. There are also ordinary monsters and demons inside that are not much inferior to the human race, making trouble and destroying the energy supply array of the Jiuzhou Tower.

As a result, the human race is still fighting among themselves. The previous demise of the Ning family can illustrate this problem.

Perhaps it is because the world-destroying monsters from outside have not invaded for so many years, making the human warriors inside feel that they can rest easy, so this is the case.

However, from Kong Kong'er's memory, Lu Changjing also got a shocking piece of news, which might make the human race's high-level officials more honest.
