Volume 17, Chapter 13 [I am a mortal]
Sima Yi also left the sacred tree space. He seemed to be full of new vitality at this moment. After a hundred years of longevity, perhaps the plans and plans that had to be given up before could be implemented. As long as he can take a further step in his cultivation, longevity will be achieved.
It's no longer a luxury.
At this time, Wang Rui could finally try to absorb the power of the star spirits here, but he was also a little worried about the sacred tree. If he absorbed the power of the star spirits, it would trigger its resentment and anger, which made him a little worried.
By traveling from Nanyue Continent to the current Xiwu Continent, Wang Rui discovered that the star spirit clan is actually scattered, and like Nanyue Continent or Xiwu Continent, there may not be a star spirit clan formed, but pure star spirit power.
In contrast, the star spirit clan in Dongxuan Continent is proof that the power of the star spirits has reached its peak.
Wang Rui is already very familiar with the power of the Star Spirits. He was originally struggling to replenish it, but now he encounters this treasure place, how can he let it go.
Absorbing the power of the star spirits does not require any special skills, it is similar to breathing. However, ordinary monks who want to absorb the power of the star spirits are easily poisoned or suffer backlash, causing discomfort or even life-threatening. Wang Rui is because
It has been blessed by the Celestial Spirit Clan, so it can be absorbed without any obstacles.
As the first ray of star spirit power was extracted from the sacred tree space, and then slowly penetrated into his nostrils, a unique sense of familiarity suddenly hit him. The star spirit power did not enter like spiritual power.
His soul is located in a strange space that even he himself cannot know.
While Wang Rui carefully absorbed the power of the star spirit, he also sensed the surroundings very carefully. He was particularly concerned about the reaction of the sacred tree.
"It seems...it's okay..." Wang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to absorb. As more and more star power was lost, a pressure finally enveloped him.
Wang Rui's expression suddenly changed, and he habitually created an earth spirit barrier to protect himself. The technique had been converted to the Nine-turn Dragon Kung Fu.
"Young boy from the human race...have you ever seen the Star Spirit Clan?" Shenmu's voice sounded. At this time, its voice was not the obscure ancient language, but the universal language of this world.
Wang Rui said calmly: "Yes, senior, I did meet the Star Spirit clan, but it was in Dongxuan Continent, and I was blessed by the masters of two generations of Star Spirits, so I was able to swallow and refine the power of Star Spirits."
For the sacred tree, Wang Rui felt a sense of intimacy similar to that of the Star Spirit clan, and always felt that there was some kind of connection between them.
Shenmu's voice sounded like she was crying, and she said in a choked voice: "Then... have you... ever... met the Realm Lord?"
Wang Rui fell silent. Regarding the fact that he had met the Realm Master, this was the secret second only to his time traveling.
"Yes, yes, you shouldn't say it, and I shouldn't ask it either." Shenmu's voice seemed full of vicissitudes of life. Could it be that it has something to do with the Realm Master?
Wang Rui didn't dare to make a conclusion, so he remained silent.
Later, Shenmu recovered from another emotion and continued: "Boy, you have the aura of the Dragon Clan, but I don't think you are a descendant of the Dragon Clan. Have you practiced the Dragon Clan's skills?"
Wang Rui lowered his head in surprise, was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "Yes, I practice the "Nine Transformations of the Dragon Skill". I wonder if seniors have heard of it?"
"It turns out to be him, no wonder he is full of domineering energy." Shenmu seemed to know the creator of the technique, which made Wang Rui even more curious.
The sacred tree seemed to be able to sense Wang Rui's curiosity and confusion, so it projected a figure, turning into an old man with white beard and long hair. The clothes on his body were all made of bark, but they were not shabby. On the contrary, he looked quite ancient.
.
"I am transformed by the essence of the sacred tree. I fall into a deep sleep once every ten thousand years, lasting for a hundred years, and then resurrected, over and over again. I am now a million years old. I have witnessed a lot and I have forgotten a lot. But there is one thing I will not forget, that
That is, our Shenmu Clan, the Star Spirit Clan, and the Dragon Clan serve the Realm Lord together. However, the World Lord no longer responds to our Shenmu Clan. The Star Spirit Clan that originally stayed in Xiwu Continent has died in large numbers. As for the Dragon Clan,
It has been extinct for a long time. At present, in Xiwu Continent, only our Shenmu clan is still supporting us and maintaining the continuation of this continent." What the old man said made Wang Rui once again learn more about the truth about this world.
Wang Rui couldn't help but ask: "Is this world heading towards destruction?"
The old man Shenmu was startled, then stared at Wang Rui for a while, and said: "Yes, I don't know how you learned the truth, but the Realm Lord's inability to respond to us means that something must have happened to him. He is this
The guardian of the world, without him, would naturally be invaded by another force. That force has appeared in this world several times. Each time, the world lord led our three clans to resist, and the dragon clan paid for it.
At the cost of annihilation, the Xingling Clan was severely damaged and split into four. Because our Shenmu Clan has the closest relationship with the Dragon Clan, we have been staying in the Dragon Tomb, waiting for the Dragon Clan's descendants, but no suitable person has ever appeared.
That gave me the idea to leave the Dragon Tomb and go outside to look for the successor of the Dragon Clan."
Wang Rui was having difficulty breathing. It was obvious that the old man from the sacred tree regarded himself as the successor of the Dragon Clan, but he was not sure whether he should accept it.
"Since you can encounter and successfully practice this technique, it means you are destined to the Dragon Clan. I want you to go to the Dragon Tomb and obtain the inheritance left there. You have obtained the inheritance of the Star Spirit Clan, and then the inheritance of the Dragon Clan and my sacred tree.
If you inherit a clan, you will be eligible to receive the final realm master inheritance and become the new realm master. At that time, the Shenmu Clan and the Star Spirit Clan will be at your disposal, how about it?" After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Wang Rui expectantly.
He was still hesitating. After all, with great power came great responsibilities. He was already feeling a mountain of pressure and really didn't want to put more pressure on himself.
"Sorry, senior, I am not a savior, just a mortal." Wang Rui clasped his fists and rejected the old man's proposal, which made him very disappointed.
However, he seemed to understand Wang Rui and said: "Since you don't want to, we won't force you. Maybe when the time is right, you will understand that fate is sometimes unavoidable. I believe you will eventually understand.
, I specially collected the power of the Star Spirits here. After all, the Star Spirit clan in Seibu Continent is on the verge of extinction."
Wang Rui felt sorry, but this decision was in line with his heart. He was not a hero and wanted to escape instinctively.
The old Shenmu disappeared, and Wang Rui continued to stay, absorbing the remaining power of the stars. This process lasted for nearly a year.
One day, Wang Rui absorbed the last trace of star power in the sacred tree space and opened his eyes.
"Are you leaving?" Shenmu's voice sounded again.
Wang Rui nodded and replied: "Yes, senior, I am very grateful that you allowed me to stay here. I did not agree to your request, but you still tolerated me. I am very grateful."
After bowing and thanking him, Wang Rui slowly left here. After staying in the valley for the past few years, his cultivation has improved again. For him, he can cross the realm of transformation at any time. Next, Wang Rui is ready to try to condense the clone.
.
At this time, a green light fell from high in the sky, then came to Wang Rui and turned into a drop of pure liquid, showing infinite vitality and vitality.
"This is the heart of the sacred tree. After refining and taking it, your physique will be greatly improved. At the same time, it will be invulnerable to all poisons. It can also help you recover from any injuries as quickly as possible. As a parting gift, take it. It will be beneficial to you in the future.
It will be beneficial. If one day you figure it out, change your mind, and come here to find me again, I will send you to the Dragon Tomb." The voice of the old Shenmu sounded a little lonely, which made Wang Rui feel guilty.
However, he would not choose to refuse at this time. This is the wish of the old man Shenmu, and he cannot live up to it.
After sucking the heart of the sacred tree into his mouth and temporarily storing it, Wang Rui clasped his fists and said goodbye.
After walking out of the sacred tree space, Wang Rui found that Sima Yi and He Na were already waiting outside.
After not seeing him for a year, Sima Yu's demeanor is better than before. There is no longer that sense of desolation between his eyebrows, but he looks high-spirited. It seems that his practice has made great progress.
After asking, it turned out that Sima Yi had been in the state of distraction for a long time, but since he got two top-quality life-extending pills and took them, his state of mind seemed to have become clearer, which made him better in practice.
breakthrough.
"Congratulations to Brother Sima, the union state is just around the corner." Wang Rui cupped his fists and congratulated.
Sima Zhu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, brother Wang. I need to thank you even more. Judging from your aura, I'm afraid you are about to enter the state of distraction. I really admire my brother."
Wang Rui knew that his cultivation was indeed fast enough, but compared with those talented people in this world or those who inherited noble blood, he was actually not worth mentioning.
Then, he looked at He Na and found that she had also undergone gratifying changes. Not only was her cultivation almost at the middle stage of pill formation, her personal temperament was much calmer, and she already had a faint temperament of a high-level monk, which was extremely important.
"Brother, congratulations on your release." He Na was now nearly one foot tall. Wang Rui and Sima Zhu looked much smaller in front of her. The height advantage of the barbarians was fully exposed.
However, He Na is different from most barbarians. Her appearance and temperament are closer to the human race. If He Na were to change her height, she would be almost the same as a human monk.
"Nana, congratulations to you too. Your efforts this year have paid off." Wang Rui's mood always gets better when he sees her. He feels more and more like he is with Chen Qi. This kind of
The feeling made Wang Rui very addicted, but he knew that he was actually transferring his excessive longing to He Na, making him unable to speak out.
The three of them took this opportunity to get together, had a grand dinner, and ended up getting very drunk.
After drinking, Sima Yi said that today was the happiest day of drinking for him in the past thousand years. He hoped that they would meet again someday. After all, Wang Rui was going to take He Na to the city of the super-large teleportation array. This farewell might be forever. Therefore, the three of them...
