Time passed little by little, Zheng Nan had been closing his eyes to rest, and the God of the Earth was in a deep sleep. They were only waiting for three days and three nights later, when the God of the Earth woke up again,
Break through the last restriction in one fell swoop!
But what they don't know is that during this time, there has been a pair of sinister eyes staring at Zheng Nan in the dark!
This gloomy eye is hidden in the deepest part of the cave, hiding in the rock. His eyes are everywhere, and it seems that he can poke his head out from any position on the rock, in any hidden and impossible to find place.
He is like a ghost, coming and going without a trace. He can even enter and leave the hard stone walls at will. It is really weird!
"Quack, quack, this kid has been sitting here for so long. It seems he is planning to break through from the peak of the human realm to the earth realm! But... even if he reaches the earth realm, he is still not strong enough..." The ghost in the dark said to himself
, he has been observing Zheng Nan all day long. In this place where the sun never shines all year round, he has not encountered a living person for a long time.
He looked at Zheng Nan secretly with great interest, making strange laughs that only he could hear from time to time, and at the same time trying to figure out Zheng Nan's origins and so on.
"This kid is very strange. Although he is only in the human realm, he has a lot of soul power, even on par with me! And he has several special treasures on him, one or two of which I have never seen before.
level, hey, wait a minute, they will all be mine... And this kid’s aura is even slightly similar to the aura on my body, it’s really weird and special!”
The ghost in the dark changes its angle from time to time to detect Zheng Nan. The more he looks at it, the weirder he feels, and the more surprised he becomes. He vaguely feels that Zheng Nan has an aura similar to his own, and this aura is what he is doing.
It took hundreds of years to get this deep underground.
Regarding the identity of this ghost, perhaps only he himself knows in this world.
He is a member of the Tian family, but he was already a figure more than a hundred years ago! At that time, he was not considered a talent in the Tian family at all, not even an ordinary family elite. But once he worked for the family
At that time, he accidentally dug this hole and went down here. From then on, he felt that there was a very special atmosphere here, which made him feel fascinated. So, he returned to Tian's house to do all the work
Prepared, and then came here to live in seclusion for a long time!
At the beginning, his strength was low, and his close relatives, friends, and others were still alive. He would occasionally return to the ground to communicate with people or replenish items, but he would just declare to people that he had gone to an unknown place, so that they would not
Worried. But later, his relatives and friends died of old age, and he no longer had any worries above, so he simply moved underground and never went up there again!
Here, he gained a very strange ability: that is, he has a special induction to rocks, soil, ceramics and other objects, and this induction allows him to communicate with these things and then control them.
!
Further, he slowly became close to these things, and even slowly assimilated them, until one day, when he accidentally hit a rock, he was pleasantly surprised to find: not only did he not hit his head and bleed, but instead
He fell straight into the rock!
He actually merged with the rock!
After that, he gradually discovered that he became more and more familiar with rocks, clods and other things. Among these things, he could move as freely as ordinary people in the air, and he could move freely from these substances.
Get the energy your body needs!
His ability is even more terrifying than that of earthworms. He can directly integrate his entire body into rocks or soil without distinguishing them!
He didn't understand the reason for all this, but he understood that it must be related to some special things here. It wasn't until more than ten years ago, when his strength finally reached the seventh level of the heavenly realm, that his soul power greatly increased.
It was enhanced. Only then did he vaguely feel something: inside this thick rock, there was a very obscure energy source. It was this energy source that changed the nearby environment, and it was this energy source that
Help him gain these strange abilities!
Of course, this energy source is the earth spirit source, but the old monster from the Tian family doesn't know it.
At the same time, the old monster of the Tian family also discovered the restriction - the restriction between the outside world and the energy source. This restriction cannot be resolved even by him who has reached the eighth level of the Heaven Realm, so he has never been able to pass through it.
With one restriction, you can touch the true form of the energy source.
"I really don't know where this kid is coming from. The reason why he is sitting here quietly in search of a breakthrough is probably because he knows how to open the restriction! He has already broken my cover before, and after reaching the ground level, he can break it
The restrictions here are not necessarily... Humph, when the time comes, I will bring an oriole behind me and kill him here with one blow, then the treasures on his body, as well as the unknown magical energy source, will all be mine...
…”
Zheng Nan, who had been sitting quietly, had no idea that someone was secretly watching and plotting against him! He was focused on transforming his energy. From the human realm to the earthly realm, he was a cultivator.
This is the first big hurdle to go through. This step must be taken seriously, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life.
At this time, Zheng Nan's energy level had actually reached the standard for advancement to the Earth Realm, but his level was still a little behind, and the transformation of energy had not yet been completed. After a day and night of meditation, he could already feel the energy in his body.
There are faint signs of energy transformation, but the speed of this transformation cannot be discovered through daily observation. Instead, strict monitoring and recording are required, so that subtle changes in energy can be detected! After this day and night of hard work
, although the energy in Zheng Nan's body is still in a gaseous state, it has solidified a lot, so it can be said that it is ineffective.
And the God of the Earth said he would sleep for three days, so there was absolutely no possibility of waking up in advance. He said it would be three days and three nights, so it would definitely be the case. Because he had already spent time to save Zheng Nan before, this time
It is no longer possible to forcibly increase the strength to do things. For now, the only way is to wait for the God of Earth to wake up.
…
"Brother Dali, why are you still sleeping? I've woken up twice..." Three days and three nights have passed, and it's daytime on the fourth day. But the God of the Earth doesn't seem to have woken up yet.
This made Zheng Nan anxious. Did something go wrong with the God of the Earth and he couldn't wake up for a while?
All Zheng Nan can do is wait. After three days and three nights of rest, the energy in his body has condensed a lot. Some of the energy has shown signs of liquefaction, and a lot of liquid has been produced.
Awesome. It can be said that Zheng Nan has now stepped into the realm of the earth with one foot, and can be regarded as "half of the realm".
But Zheng Nan is willing to wait for the God of Earth, but the guy in the dark can't wait any longer!
"Hmph, I thought that this kid would find some way to break the restriction after he had been resting for so long, but I didn't expect that after waiting for three days and three nights, there was still no progress. Looking at him now, it seems that he has no means at all!"
"Forget it, even if you can't use this kid to break the restriction, it's worth it if you can get a few treasures from him!"
Thinking like this, the old monster from the Tian family made up his mind to take action against Zheng Nan!
Zheng Nan sat cross-legged on the ground, completely unprepared. In this deep underground, he really couldn't think of anyone who would do something to him. At this moment, under Zheng Nan, on the solid ground,
Suddenly, a stone cage protruded from all sides!
The cage was all square and made of hard stone. It happened to seal Zheng Nan tightly inside, leaving Zheng Nan unable to escape. When the cold stone touched his body, Zheng Nan suddenly realized that he was trapped.
!
"who?!"
Zheng Nan screamed and looked at the stone prisons around him, filled with astonishment - this turned out to be the power of earth!
The man in the dark did not answer. The old monster from the Tian family did not show up easily, but was still hiding in the rocks. Zheng Nan could not drive him at all. Zheng Nan also quickly used his own power, which was also the power of earth.
Control the cage around you to break.
"The power of the earth, break it for me!"
As Zheng Nan exerted his strength, the cage around him suddenly became distorted. On the one hand, the power of the Tian family old monster, and on the other hand, the power of Zheng Nan. The two were in opposite directions, and they began to exert control over the cage.
Fight for.
The only thing Zheng Nan can compete with the old monster of the Tian family at this moment is actually his soul power. His soul power is much stronger than that of warriors at the same level. Even compared with the old monster of the Tian family who is at the eighth level of the heaven realm, he is not far behind. And
The old monster from the Tian family has lived underground for so long. In fact, the ability he relies on most is the power of the earth element, so he did not show up for a while, but used the power of the earth element to entangle Zheng Nan.
But when it comes to controlling the earth element by relying on soul power, the two are really evenly matched! The only difference is that the old monster from the Tian family has mastered this ability for decades or hundreds of years, while Zheng Nan has learned it not long ago. In terms of proficiency,
It's really a world of difference.
As the old monster from the Tian family exerted various strange controls on the stone prison, although Zheng Nan could resist it in embarrassment, he lost the battle in the end. Not only was he tightly fixed by the stone prison, but he was also stabbed by two sharp stone thorns.
His shoulder blade was broken, and the pain was excruciating, and his arms lost strength.
At this time, Zheng Nan only heard a strange and eerie cry, "Quack, quack, quack..."
Immediately, an old man with a face as white as a servant came out of the rock wall strangely and came to Zheng Nan!
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Zheng Nan looked at this old guy and couldn't help but feel frightened.
"Quack, boy, of course I am a human being! It's just that I have been here underground for too long. If you don't remind me, I will forget whether I am still alive..." The old monster said coldly.
, and at the same time, the entire body emerged from the rock.
"Who are you? Why did you master the power of earth? Why did you attack me?" Zheng Nan tried hard to break free from the stone prison, but it was to no avail. In order to delay the time for the God of Earth to wake up, he had to talk as much as possible.
to delay.
"Boy, it's not your turn to ask me questions now! Let me ask you, why do you come here, why do you have the power of earth in you, and are you from the Tian family?"
