40,000 Years of Cultivation

Wee hours.

The night space of the desert is clear, and the huge stars are like countless strings of shining diamonds, hanging from the dark to blue sky, as if they can be picked up on their toes.

Li Yao and Ding Lingdang walked towards the depths of the desert arm in arm.

The palms of the two of them were a little wet, and they were inexplicably nervous.

They are going to meet one of the strongest in the Tianyuan cultivation world, the strong Yuan Ying, the "Iron God" Yanba!

In the morning, after successfully qualifying from the battle, they underwent a very thorough examination and treatment, which further consolidated the practice results of one month of retreat.

Since then, they have recharged in the deep sleep cabin and supplemented with a large amount of high-energy nutrients.

Until the evening, it is to choose the greatest benefit that can be obtained from this trip to the farthest star in the legend-the soul seed of the old primordial soul!

Faced with the threat of the blood demon world, the Tianyuan cultivation world has united unprecedentedly. Almost all the Nascent Soul powerhouses have condensed a spirit seed. Among them, the combat-type Nascent Soul boss has also condensed more than one, and would rather fight for the vitality injury. They must promote these foundation-building cultivators to their strongest state!

Each spiritual seed condensed by a strong soul seed has different magical powers and explosive seed conditions, not only depends on the user's cultivation level and realm, but also depends on whether the "Dao Xin" of the user and the strong soul match. , At least the understanding of the road to cultivation can't go in the opposite direction.

Otherwise, the probability of successfully exploding seeds is greatly reduced, and the probability of getting confused is greatly increased.

Therefore, choosing which spirit seed to use as your life-saving means is a matter of life and death, and you must think twice.

The selection of spirit seeds will be determined according to the number of kills in the battle during the day. Li Yao and Ding Lingdang are both ranked in the top ten, and the range of options is still very large. The two studied for a long time. , But was notified by the staff of a message:

The former king of warriors, "Iron God" Yan Ba ​​wants to see them!

The Yuan Ying old monster summoned, the two of course did not dare to neglect, and under the guidance of the miniature crystal brain, they returned to the ground and came to the desert outside the valley.

On the sand dune in front, sat a lonely figure, bright stars shining around him, making him seem to be shining.

The "Iron God" Yan Ba ​​did not reveal a little bit of aura, but merged with the stars above his head and the gravel under his feet, as if he was a part of nature.

Li Yao and Ding Lingdang looked at each other, straightened their chests, and strode forward.

"In order to travel to the farthest star, I spent most of my true energy in half a year and condensed a total of two spirit seeds."

"Iron God" Yan Ba ​​didn't play the mystery. Hearing the sound of the two people's breathing, he turned around and looked at them with a smile, like an amiable old man next door, "Li Yao, Ding Lingdang, are you two interested? , Take my spirit seed?"

Even though he knew that Yan Ba ​​came to him, it was most likely to talk about the spirit seed, but listening to him personally say this, Li Yao was still a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and hesitated:

"Senior Yan, Ding Lingdang is a body refiner. It's okay to bear your spirit seed, but I am a tool refiner and I am best at using magic weapons. As a former warrior, why did you come to me?"

Although Li Yao had taken the spirit seed of "Iron God" Yan Ba ​​into consideration early on, he still couldn't figure out why Yan Ba ​​would take the initiative to find himself.

"Iron God" Yan Ba ​​smiled lonely:

"The profession of the original martial artist, in the realm of cultivation, is like a living fossil, not to mention the purest original martial artist, even if the number of body refiners is getting less and less, now only the martial arts department of the Great Desolate War Academy is still in large numbers. Cultivation is very rare elsewhere."

"Among the 30 Starwatchers selected this time, there are only two body refiners, and no magic weapon is used, and there is not one pure martial artist."

"Although you two are not from the Demon Fist Sect, you are both from the Great Desolate Battlefield, and they are inextricably related to the Demon Fist Sect. You belong to the same line of the Great Desolate. If I have to choose, of course, I hope you are. The spirit seed can be passed on to the monk of the Great Wilderness."

"Needless to say, Ding Lingdang is the strongest body refiner among the 30 Starwatchers. As for you, Vulture Li Yao, although he was a craftsman, his physical fitness and fighting ability are equally outstanding, even better than average. The body refiner of the elders is even stronger. I really don’t know how you cultivated!"

"The spirit seed that inspires me is extremely painful and extremely dangerous. Only a powerful refiner like Ding Lingdang and a tyrannical body like Li Yao can withstand it!"

Li Yao was stunned. He didn't expect that Yan Ba's reason for choosing himself was that he had relatively strong fighting ability, and his expression became a little weird for a while.

After thinking about it, I honestly said:

"Senior Yan, I also thought about accepting your spiritual seed, but I have always been a craftsman. On my path to cultivation, the magic weapon is the first!"

"Although I have absorbed several memories of your battles and practice, and have a taste of the power of the predecessors, I still can't agree with the idea that'bare hands will be more powerful than using tools'. This may be a great battle. ."

"I don't know, everyone has different ideas, whether I can still accept your spiritual seed."

"Ding Lingdang is the same. Although she is a body refiner, she does not reject the use of magic weapons. When she can use crystal armor, she will never fight with her bare hands."

"Senior Yan, please be aware of this."

"Yes."

Ding Lingdang also said solemnly, "Senior Yan, as the king of the original warriors, you have been the idol I admired the most since I was a child, but when I chose a spirit seed, I hesitated for a long time because I was afraid that I could not Accept the idea of ​​absolutely not using magic weapons, so I don’t know if I am qualified to accept your spiritual seed."

"Iron God" Yan Ba ​​smiled slightly and said:

"So, you guys think that using magic weapons is more powerful than using bare hands... it's just nonsense!"

"what?"

Li Yao and Ding Lingdang were dumbfounded.

"Iron God" Yan Ba ​​looked at them two with a look of idiots, and continued:

"Using magic weapons is more powerful than bare hands. This is something that a three-year-old child knows! The reason why our human ancestors changed from apes to humans was not because we learned to use tools? There is no reason to evolve tools from bones to sticks for thousands of years. It has become the most sophisticated magic weapon, instead of discarding it, but relying on two fists to fight the world!"

"but--"

Li Yao and Ding Lingdang were completely confused about the situation.

Yan Ba's remarks are quite right, the problem is that his identity is wrong!

He is an ascetic among the body refiners. He absolutely rejects the use of any magic weapons and weapons. In the face of the overwhelming beast tide, he insists on fighting with his bare hands!

"Iron God" Yan Ba ​​carried his hands on his back, looked up at the starry sky, and said lightly:

"Are you surprised, as a former warrior, why would I say such a thing? If I really think that using magic weapons is more powerful, why not use magic weapons for the rest of my life?"

"Tell you, the Dao Xin of the original martial artist is not understood like you do."

"The original martial artist is the oldest profession in the modern cultivation world, there is no one!"

"Since the Great Dark Era 40,000 years ago, the monster race ruled the sea of ​​stars and established a huge and strict monster empire. It repeatedly killed cultivators and brutally suppressed ordinary humans, and cut off the possibility of humans using all magic weapons. !"

"During the 30,000 years of darkness, we did not have jade slips to pass on the techniques, no flying swords to fight with the oppressors, and no treasures to temper the body. As long as anyone is found to have hidden a magic treasure, his Blood, relatives, and friends will all be slaughtered inhumanely by the monster race!"

"Even in such a high-pressure environment, we did not give up the hope of cultivation. Without jade slips, flying swords, and heavenly materials, the only thing we can rely on is this."

"Iron God" Yan Ba ​​raised his thumb, pointed to his slightly shriveled chest, and said calmly, "The only thing humans can rely on is their own flesh and blood, blood vessels, meridians, muscles, heart, cells, and storage. In the deepest part of the cell, the ancestors of our ancestors, as well as the earlier ancestors, are the strength that has been passed down difficultly after the catastrophe again and again!

"These powers are all sealed in the deepest part of our cells, tearing the seal, releasing this power, we have the first capital to fight against the monster race."

"From this, the original martial artist was born, the original profession in the modern comprehension world."

"Therefore, it is not that we, the original martial artist, did not recognize the power of magic weapons and weapons, but at the beginning of our profession, we, all human beings, could not obtain even a powerful magic weapon!"

"But even if there is no magic weapon, even if you use your fists, nails, and teeth, you have to fight the monster race to the end!"

Li Yao and Ding Lingdang were moved.

Li Yao couldn't help saying: "But this is already 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. In today's sea of ​​stars, humans dominate, and all kinds of magic weapons are so popular, why..."

Yan Ba ​​smiled:

"That's right, the current human civilization in the worlds, although they are falling apart, still dominates. It is very convenient to get a magic weapon."

"But, what if the demon race makes a comeback someday, or it is a demonic cultivator, or even a starry alien race that is more powerful than a demon, or an unprecedented super catastrophe comes?"

"In case of these threats, human civilization once again loses the power to refine and use magic weapons, so that we have to fight with our bare hands again, then the existence of the original warrior can at least tell the rebels who have not cooled their blood and rely on only hands. How should we fight with our feet and teeth!"

"Yes, everyone knows that the probability of this kind of thing happening is extremely small, but the stars and the sea are endless, who knows what kind of dangers are hidden?"

"So, the existence of the original warrior still has a little meaning, like a thin safety rope."

"If one day human civilization really falls back into darkness and loses all its magic weapons, at least our original warriors will act as the last line of defense for civilization."

"This is the reason why I chose to become a former warrior."

"My Spirit Seed, burst out, maybe not as powerful as other Nascent Soul powerhouses, but no one can tell what exactly will happen on the farthest planet, in case you fall into the magic weapon and all damage it, and there is no The weapon state, my spirit seed, maybe you can save your life, and you can also... bring new hope to the Federation and the Heavenly Origin Realm!"
