Jingling City is one of the most prosperous cities in Yimu Continent. In the center of the city, there is a huge palace building complex. The entire building complex presents three concentric regular hexagons. The outermost hexagon has a total of 68 palaces.
, the height of each palace is 370 meters.
There are seventeen palaces in the middle hexagon, each with a height of 1,200 meters.
There is only one palace in the innermost part. This palace is also the most magnificent and eye-catching among all the palaces. Its height exceeds three thousand meters and it has a total of 178 floors.
A valuable plaque hangs on the bottom floor of the palace. The plaque is carved from a single piece of black ink jade, taking on the shape of a human eye. In a place similar to the pupil, three large characters "Chengxin Palace" are carved.
In the inner courtyard of "Chengxin Palace", a young man was talking to another older man about something, the expression on his face was very serious.
At this moment, two teenage boys rushed in from outside.
One of the boys excitedly threw himself into the young man's arms, and said in a slightly childish tone: "Dad, look, Ogawa has made progress again, and has just broken through to the third-level demon realm!"
When the young man heard this, he picked up the boy with a smile on his face, spun him around in the air, and said excitedly: "My Xiaochuan is different! Daddy is very happy. In two days, Daddy will teach you the summoning technique himself!"
"By the way, Xiaojun, you have to work hard. When you reach the third-level demon realm, I will personally teach you the summoning technique!" The young man turned to look at the boy who came with Xiaochuan, and said with a loving face.
After hearing what the young man said, Zhijun couldn't help feeling excited on his face, but he suppressed his happiness and said politely: "Thank you, Uncle Liu, I will work hard!"
Liu Yuan nodded and said to the older man next to him: "Uncle Zhuang, go prepare the dragon heart marrow that the two children need to practice the summoning technique. It seems that the child Xiaojun is about to break through!"
Uncle Zhuang nodded and glanced at Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun, as if he wanted to say something, but he still held back.
Eight days later, Yang Zhijun finally broke through to the level three demon realm.
In the secret room on the third floor of the "Chengxin Palace", Liu Yuan, Liu Xingchuan, and Yang Zhijun were sitting on the floor. The two children had not had a good rest for several nights since they learned that they could learn the summoning technique. They had been waiting for this day.
"Xiaochuan, before you learn the summoning technique, tell me everything you know about the division of cultivation realms!" Liu Yuan looked at his son kindly and said.
Liu Xingchuan shook his head, clasped his fingers and said: "The realms I know include a total of nine realms from first-level demon to ninth-level demon. I also know that Grandpa Zhuang is in the ninth-level demon realm!"
Liu Yuan nodded after hearing this and said with a smile: "You are right, but there are several realms above the ninth-level demon, namely martial artist, martial spirit, martial emperor, martial emperor, martial immortal, martial god, and martial saint.
, the realm of Wuwu! You must keep these realms in mind!"
After a pause, Liu Yuan continued: "Our family's summoning technique must be learned between the third-level demon realm and the fifth-level demon realm. The learning time is limited to three years, and the dragon heart marrow is required as an aid during the learning process.
The most important thing is that when learning, you must be guided by a senior who has successfully practiced the summoning technique, otherwise it will be impossible to succeed!"
After listening to Liu Yuan's words, Liu Xingchuan was a little frightened. As expected, there are still many conditions for the cultivation of top-level summoning. Generally, it only takes three years to go from the third-level demon to the fifth-level demon realm, which is exactly the time limit for practicing summoning.
It's also three years, so it's not that difficult to successfully practice the summoning technique within the two time limits.
"It seems that practicing the top summoning technique is not only related to talent, but more importantly, luck!" Liu Xingchuan thought to himself for a while and said.
After listening to Liu Xingchuan's words, Liu Yuan nodded happily. After a moment, he suppressed his smile and said seriously to Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun: "Now we will officially start learning the summoning technique. During this period, you must be serious. I just want to
Teach this time!”
Time flew by, and half a month later, the three of them finally walked out of the secret room of "Chengxin Palace".
"Father, really, he asked us to retreat just after learning the summoning technique, read the classics in the secret room, and have to memorize them all in two years. This is too difficult! Hey, I still want to find my own book earlier.
Where's the summoned beast?" Liu Xingchuan had just walked out of the third-level secret room and was about to go to the fourth-level secret room, which made him helpless.
Yang Zhijun smiled and said happily: "I don't like reading classics and I didn't say anything. Why are you complaining? Let's go quickly!"
After saying that, the two of them didn't talk anymore, but walked straight to the secret room on the fourth floor.
Retreat can make time pass. It took Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun a year to carefully read all the information that could be collected in Jingling City. In another year, they tried their best to memorize everything related to summoning techniques and summoned beasts.
introduction.
Through this, Liu Xingchuan finally understood that the so-called summoning technique is to increase the energy in one's body to a certain height, and at the right time, stimulate the dragon heart marrow absorbed in the body to summon the ghost world creatures that have made a contract with you before. Each person has a maximum of
You can only summon one ghost world creature at the same time, but you can sign a contract with three ghost world creatures.
The creatures in the ghost world are all the creatures in heaven and earth that have certain abilities after training, and of course include all material bodies that have appeared in heaven and earth.
In two years, Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun have matured a lot. Now they are both over 1.8 meters tall. Although their tone of voice is still a little immature, their faces have gradually become handsome after the baptism of time.
"Both of you have turned sixteen this year, and you have two years to learn the summoning technique. You should know that time is tight, right?" Liu Yuan sat in the inner courtyard and said to Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun, who had just left seclusion.
Liu Xingchuan nodded and said that he was called by his father just after leaving the quarantine. He didn't give him a chance to breathe. It was really helpless.
"Under normal circumstances, the realm of a sixteen-year-old cultivator is generally above the fourth-level demon. Our realm is still slightly lower. In addition, the time limit for learning summoning is three years, and now two years have passed!" Liu Xingchuan thought
Said after a while.
Liu Yuan smiled, his eyes flickered for a while and then he said: "Your Grandpa Zhuang will go out tomorrow, and I will ask him to take you!"
Liu Xingchuan nodded after hearing this, and when he was about to go back to the room to rest, he was stopped by Liu Yuan again: "Xiaochuan, wait a minute, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you."
After a pause, Liu Yuan said thoughtfully: "Xiaochuan, Zhijun, you must remember what I say next, and never mention it in front of others, can you do it?"
Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun looked at Liu Yuan's face and knew that what they were about to say was definitely not simple. They had never seen Liu Yuan with such a bad face.
After sorting out his thoughts, Liu Yuan continued: "There are two things I want to say. The first is that Xiaochuan must break through from the third-level devil realm to the fourth-level devil realm within five years, and from the fourth-level devil realm to
A fifth-level demon cannot exceed seven years, and by analogy, this time limit must not be exceeded!"
After saying this, Liu Yuan's face showed melancholy and worry. It seemed that he had a secret in his heart that he didn't want to mention about Liu Xingchuan.
Looking at his father's expression and thinking about what he said, Liu Xingchuan felt very strange. He had never heard of such a rule, but judging from his father's expression, it was not a joke.
"Why do you ask like this?" Liu Xingchuan thought for a while, hesitated for a moment and finally asked.
"Because you have no choice, I can't explain this to you now, but you will understand one day, of course, provided you live long enough!" Liu Yuan glanced at Liu Xingchuan and said seriously.
No choice? Only if you live long enough can you understand? What does it mean? Why do you feel that what your father said today is so baffling? Liu Xingchuan looked at his father, wondering in his heart.
"Uncle Liu, what about me? Do I need to abide by this rule?" The words of the two people frightened Yang Zhijun on the side. After enduring for a moment, Yang Zhijun finally asked.
Hearing Yang Zhijun's question, Liu Yuan seemed to feel relieved. He smiled slightly and said: "This is the second thing I want to say. You don't have to abide by the rules I just said, but the burden on you
What's more, if anything happens to Xiaochuan in the future, the burden of carrying the banner of Jingling City will fall on you!"
The smart Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun had some bad premonitions after hearing Liu Yuan's words.
When Liu Xingchuan was about to ask, Liu Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You are still young and not strong enough. The more you know, the greater the danger. You must keep this in mind! Okay.
, don’t ask anything, just go out and exercise with Grandpa Zhuang with peace of mind! With my martial arts strength, even if something happens, I will help you resist it!"
After listening to Liu Yuan's words, Liu Xingchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, the strength of Wu Xian can already be regarded as arrogant in the world. As long as there is a powerful Wu Xian present, no matter how difficult the problem is, it will always be solved!
Thinking of this, Liu Xingchuan showed a smile on his face, and while discussing something with Yang Zhijun, he walked towards his room.
At night, the entire Jingling City suddenly became quiet, as if something was quietly approaching this huge city step by step.
Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun were talking to each other in the room at this time. They had always had different views on practicing summoning. At the beginning, they just had a little different understanding. Now two years have passed, and the two of them have practiced summoning.
The differences were getting bigger and bigger. They had asked Liu Yuan for advice before, but even Liu Yuan couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.
However, Liu Yuan's words at that time were still fresh in their minds: Summoning is a very mysterious cultivation method, and its development is not uniform. In the eyes of a thousand people, there are bound to be two thousand Summoning Techniques.
"I'm a little tired! Let's not discuss it anymore. Let's go to bed early. We have something to do tomorrow!" After talking for a long time, neither of them came to an accurate conclusion, which made Yang Zhijun a little discouraged.
Liu Xingchuan nodded. The two of them had just left the quarantine and were about to go out for exercise. Time was indeed in a hurry. In order to have the energy to cope with the various training conditions, adequate rest was necessary.
Just when the two of them were lying down, the door of the room was pushed open with a "squeak", and then a young and beautiful woman walked in. The woman's appearance was somewhat similar to Liu Xingchuan, but she was prettier than Liu Xingchuan.
There was an indescribable tenderness, but her eyes still exuded an unyielding arrogance that Liu Xingchuan had never seen before.
