Chapter 676 Heart Light Body·Guiding Star (6900)

The Holy Mountain is towering, like beams supporting the sky, and the many torches and eyes under the mountain are like the flickering stars of the past.

Ian stared at these stars, and he understood somewhat in his heart why Qiang Ganglong regarded his people as his greatest treasure.

He is not Solstner, and he does not have hundreds of years of feelings for the mountain people... Qiang Ganglong's life is such a long time, even if he keeps a pet, he has to develop his heart, not to mention that he has never Since he has never treated a person as a pet, he naturally has a level of care that he himself may not even be aware of.

Ian doesn't have that kind of love.

However, these people hope that Ian can fulfill their wishes... and Ian also hopes that they can fulfill his dream.

This relationship of mutual need... is like the light connecting the stars.

The blue star dances in Ian's heart. It is burning, jumping with joy, and wants to fly out of the heart and soul and manifest into reality.

So, Ian made it come true.

A low and melodious chirping sounded, and cyan sparks appeared in the void, burning in the darkness.

Afterwards, it condensed and turned into a shining cross star.

A crystal clear aqua star hung in front of the young man's forehead.

But this was not the end - cyan star sparks lit up one after another, circling around Ian's head, forming a structure like a halo crown.

However, among the green stars that emerged later, only two shone with gentle light, while the others were dim.

And the first green star shines brightly and is the most dazzling gem at the top of the crown.

This is the mind-light body.

【Guiding Star】

Guide others to complete their dreams, and others will complete their dreams for themselves... Let everything in the past be turned into material and become the power to go to the future.

A kind of power is emerging slightly.

But now is not the time to delve into it in detail.

"Ian!"

At this moment, Elder Manya also climbed to the top of the holy mountain.

He did not actually come to the altar, but stood on the edge of the sacrificial fire, looking up at Ian from below, and asked loudly: "To you, what are we mountain people?!"

This is the only question he wants to know now - without knowing the answer to this question, the old man will never be able to get rid of his inner demons and will never be able to advance to the third level.

Even if the answer disappointed him, Elder Manya was eager to know.

The white-haired boy lowered his head and looked into the old man's eyes, which were staring at him persistently.

He laughed.

Ian leaned down and stretched out his hand. The old man was stunned for a moment. After hesitantly extending his hand, Ian held it tightly and then pulled him to his side.

"It's us mountain people. They were the first step to my dream."

Ian looked at the cheerful mountain people, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart: "The Empire and the mountain people are the same to me... It's just that compared to the Imperial people who are still alive and nourishing, today's The mountain people need me more.”

"So I need them more, too."

"Elder." At this moment, Ian raised his voice slightly: "Get ready - go to the third level."

"If I can represent the future of the mountain people, then you are the present of the mountain people. Our camp needs a third energy level, and I also need you to block the pressure from the empire and the Flying Flame Land for me."

"Believe me, as the heir to the Dragon God, go and become the third level - this is the best time."

Ian said.

It is both an arrogant command and a gentle guidance.

The prophet's crown shimmered on the boy's head.

Elder Manya looked at Ian deeply.

He could naturally detect that what was on the young man's forehead was like a materialized psychic creation, which was some kind of mind-light body... at least the prototype of the mind-light body.

It's a little weird - generally speaking, isn't the heart-light body a complete form of the bloodline's true form? The opponent is obviously of goblin blood, so his mind-light body should also be a goblin... Is it because he is a psyker?

It doesn't matter, goblins are all kinds of weird, and there must be goblins like stars.

However, Ian has actually come this far... The second energy level has the prototype of the Heart Light Body...

Very good……

The old man had already prepared the potion and made all preparations - before Ian arrived, Elder Manya even planned to risk death to break through the third energy level.

But now, with the right ritual, his knot was untied.

The holy fire burned brightly before his eyes, and another person who could lead the mountain people to glory... was also radiating light.

"fair enough."

Muttering to himself, Elder Manya smiled.

He turned around and walked towards the sacrificial fire, his voice calm and calm: "Then, Ian - I will become your barrier and strength."

"My body is old, but it can still block some rumors and wind and frost."

"Thanks."

Ian watched the old man step into the sacrificial fire and take the potion.

He thanked you softly: "Thank you for your hard work, elder."

The vortex rotates, stirring the wind and cloud waves between heaven and earth.

In the year 773 of Terra, on December 7, the rebel mountain people Jiamu tribe chief, Kede Jiamu broke the 200-year history of no third-level mountain people and became the first third-level mountain people.

In the year 773 of Terra, on December 11, Manya Avud, a mountain man from the Avod tribe, followed closely behind and advanced to the third level when lighting the sacred mountain sacrificial fire.

At the same time, the Avod tribe officially sent an express message to all the mountain tribes, informing them that the dragon god’s sacrifice fire had been rekindled, and also announced that the ‘dragon god’s messenger’ had also appeared.

The already chaotic situation in Nanling has become more complicated.

"Dragon God's envoy? The sacrificial fire has been rekindled? Two third-level people have emerged from the mountain people?"

In the imperial capital, Marquis Barton, who was preparing to return to Nanling, looked surprised: "The cliff was successfully conquered? It's incredible. The mountain people have been torturing their sacred mountain for three to four hundred years, and now they finally have some results."

Even as thoughtful as he was, he never imagined that things would develop so quickly - before this year was over, Feiyandi sent five armored units to support the mountain people.

Before Nauman City had time to do anything, all three armors were defeated by Ian... That was all. Soon, another third-level person appeared among the rebel mountain people!

This is big news, and it is a major event that Marquis Barton plans to go back to deal with in person.

As a result, Manya also reached the third level.

"It's incredible, the world is changing so fast." He shook his head and sighed: "And, Ian is also there? He said he is the messenger of the Dragon God?"

[Yes, General]

Colonel Mayowa's voice came from behind the communicator: [Ian was at the scene at that time. At that time, Manya wanted to take the risk of becoming the third level and try to awaken the Dragon God to sacrifice the fire, but because the risk was too great, in order to avoid himself After his death, the Avod tribe completely collapsed, and the Nanling Dragon Worship Sect also lost its leader, so Ian was entrusted to be the 'messenger'. If he died, he would help take care of the tribe and the Dragon Worship Sect]

This is information reported by Ian himself. How can it be false? Neither Colonel Mayowa nor Marquis Barton would doubt the authenticity of this information. After all, they all knew that Ian was a holder of dragon blood, and it was more than enough to pretend to be a messenger of the Dragon God.

As for Ian being the true messenger of the Dragon God, the one who rekindled the Holy Fire...

impossible. Absolutely impossible!

"This is a good thing." Regarding this information, Marquis Barton nodded slightly: "The result is the same as what we wanted. The only difference is that Manya succeeded."

[Yes] Colonel Mayowa's tone was also full of emotion: [This is really incredible. Considering Elder Manya's situation, the probability of him successfully advancing to the third level is less than one thousandth]

"It's 100% now." Marquis Barton thought for a while, and then laughed: "No matter what, Manya is our ally... There is a friendly third-level person who will completely integrate the mountain people into the empire in the future. Planning will go more smoothly.”

"Manya is really dead, and there is nothing we can do if the people below hate us. But Manya is alive, and Ian is the lord of Xiahui Territory and the messenger of the Dragon God. There are many articles in it, which can be slowly transformed."

"How is the war going now?" he asked.

[A large number of neutral mountain tribes are now approaching the Frodo Autonomous Region. It should be due to the advancement of the Manya Elders and the call of the Dragon God to sacrifice the fire] Colonel Mayowa said: [Yijiamu, Rong Gang, Ling Actinium The rebel mountain people led by the three groups also faced each other tit for tat, and the Steel Winged Dragon group was also approaching south]

"Where is the King of the Mountain?" He frowned slightly. Marquis Barton only paid attention to the fourth-level true dragon: "Where is he? Our contract should guarantee that the Steel Winged Dragon group cannot cross the Mars Mountains - how can he Gone?"

[The King of the Mountain said that he had something important to do] Colonel Mayowa said: [But he left us a message before disappearing]

[He said that when He solves this matter, the Steel Winged Dragon King will not be his opponent]

"...Long really does whatever he wants."

After communicating about the current situation of Nanling for a while, Marquis Barton hung up the communication. He closed his eyes, thought for a while, and dialed the second prince's communication.

The third-level Manya, the Dragon God Messenger and the Dragon Worship Cult... Ian is really going to surprise people.

Your Highness will want to know this news.

As for what the King of the Mountain has to do...

Nanling, Avod tribe.

At this time, the mountain tribes were celebrating.

Since the food disaster occurred and the rebellion began, many mountain people's traditional festivals have been skipped, and those days of celebration have been lost, making life quite boring.

But because yesterday, the Dragon God envoy and the third-level Elder Manya restarted the sacred mountain fire sacrifice. In order to celebrate this most important happy event, the tribe relaxed food control and even took out the fruit wine that had been stored for a long time to make people happy. Drink freely.

As for the fact that the Dragon God messenger looks like a white citizen...

No matter what, it’s not like there are no white mountain people, and the other party is so good-looking, and Elder Manya guarantees that he can’t be wrong!

The mountain people drank freely, but Ian and Elder Manya did not have this time to celebrate.

They still have many important things to do.

"The King of the Mountain will arrive in the afternoon - he needs to bring Xio from the lair first."

Elder Manya walked out of his tent, looking much younger in the midday sun.

A wisp of light blue-like breeze lingered around him, and his eyes that were originally slightly dim due to old age became deep and crystal clear, giving people a sense of confidence that he was in control.

This breeze is the manifestation of Elder Manya's 'life energy' after he advanced to the third energy level. In ancient terms, it is the so-called 'vision', which is the human spirit, soul and body that transcend the ordinary world. limitations and truly become a manifestation of a higher level of life.

It seems thin and fragile, but even a direct hit from an alchemical cannon cannot penetrate it, because in essence, it is the spiritual energy field in the body of a third-level sublimator, which is formed by resonating with the spiritual energy field in the external world. A layer of 'fusion zone' that can provide all-round protection equivalent to a portion of its strength.

The 'nightmare breeder' that Ian once killed had no body or even a soul. It was just a shadow with no power, so it could not be defeated by him without this layer of life spiritual defense.

Otherwise, it would not be that simple for Ian to break through its defense.

Realizing that Ian had been staring closely at the long wind shield on his body, Elder Manya couldn't help laughing: "Don't you also have a mind-light body? It's a miracle. You can have a mind-light body without the third energy level. , isn’t this much more powerful than an ordinary third-level person like me?”

"Where does the third level come from being ordinary? Everyone is a hero, and I'm not curious or envious."

Ian shook his head slightly. He withdrew the silver-blue light in his eyes and ended the modeling: "I am observing the essence of the vision."

In Ian's mind, he was replaying the field model he had just observed through the precognition horizon and the silver chip. He thought thoughtfully: "So it's almost like the mutual repulsion of magnetic fields, but it also merges slightly. This subtle chimera The interlaced structure will cause a considerable part of all external forces to be transferred into natural psychic energy, and only a small part will be fed back to the third energy level."

"As for the powerful life essence of the third energy level, the remaining strength is almost the same as a massage."

"Only extremely pure source matter and spiritual energy can break through this damage reduction shield and achieve true damage."

Elder Manya couldn't help but restrain his smile after hearing Ian's detailed analysis.

He nodded solemnly: "That's it. The reason why the bloodline's true form is called 'high level' starting from the heroic level (the third energy level) is because of this essential transformation."

"My experience can give you some insights, which is the best thing."

"It is indeed a great harvest. When I advance to the third level, I am confident that I can gather better ones."

Ian nodded slightly. He now fully understood why the third level was called a hero.

Just like many mythological stories in ancient Terran mythology.

Only a 'hero' can defeat a 'hero'.

To be more specific, on the continent of Terra, if a full-scale war breaks out, ordinary people without energy levels will be the most basic soldiers and logistics, responsible for regional occupation and handling various miscellaneous items, while the first energy level will be the special elites. force.

During the war, various countries will temporarily use strategic reserves to catalyze a group of professional first-level bloodline true form sublimators. They are responsible for driving armors, giant combat machinery and aerial fortresses, and controlling some special weapons that require the ability to control the source of matter. , status is similar to that of a fully armored force, with extremely high mobility and lethality, and is the main consumption force in war.

The second level will serve as the commander of these troops, or independently set up a special strike team, like the Feiyandi Special Operations Brigade in Nanling, to carry out special missions and be an important tactical force in various war zones. .

But the third level is no longer the tactical level. They are the main part of a country's basic strategic power.

Each third energy level is equivalent to a high-fire suspended warship that can soar through the air at supersonic speeds. It is an existence that can directly change the strength balance of a battlefield or even a war zone, and reverse the outcome of a key battle.

If one party invests in the third energy level, if the other party does not add more, it will definitely lose.

——Only a ‘hero’ can defeat a ‘hero’.

This is why after the chief of the Jiamu tribe advanced, Elder Manya still had to risk a breakthrough even though he knew that his success rate of advancement was slim.

As for the fourth energy level... it is a super strategic weapon that can burn mountains and boil seas, destroy heaven and earth, and make mountains tremble and collapse.

Their mere existence can ensure the survival of a country. This is also the highest level of combat power that can be deployed between major powers.

The fifth energy level?

The fifth level is either the emperor or the pope, the guardian of a country, the commander of the alliance, or even the gods walking on earth - do you want these people to go to the battlefield in person? If it really comes to that point, there will be no need for war.

Many conflicts and interest disputes in the world are equivalent to non-existence and meaningless to them. If they want to fight... it is not a matter on the continent of Terra.

Elder Manya has now reached the third level. Even if he has just broken through, he will still have a name in the empire.

Ian estimated that just because of this, Nauman City would send someone to contact them, conduct further cooperation, and propose a brand new contract that is more beneficial to the mountain people.

"The Mountain King and Xiou will arrive in the afternoon... That's just in time. Elder Manya, can you let me see your Heart Light Body?"

Ian was not surprised that the Mountain King was so quick and could even drop his defenses and come directly to him - after all, in addition to the secret method of resurrection of the Qiang Steel Dragon, he had also restarted the purification of the Shimmering Cradle. Detoxification system.

A two-pronged approach cannot cure Xio's void toxin, so Terra probably has no other solution.

Before helping the King of the Mountain and Xio solve the problem, Ian had nothing to do. Naturally, he could only hold onto Elder Manya, the third level closest to him, and ask him about his various experiences and observe his various transformations. features.

"I'm a little unskilled, but I'll try my best."

Elder Manya held his breath and concentrated. The old man closed his eyes, and then the green breeze surrounding him suddenly rose.

Immediately afterwards, with a slight dragon roar, a pterosaur with a long and slender body, wings like knives, and its entire body covered with a fine and smooth carapace jumped out of the long blue wind.

Compared with the normal Weiweilong, Elder Manya's mind-light body appears to be more agile, and his body shape has also changed slightly - the normal Taiweilong is thinner and has a shorter tail, unlike the heart-light body. That's the wind whip formed by the condensed blue wind pillars.

Obviously, it was Elder Manya's inner light body that was more perfect and powerful.

"It's so beautiful..."

Ian stared at the five to six meter long Heart Light Body suspended behind Elder Manya. He couldn't help but sigh: "The perfect combination of source matter and spiritual energy, with the source matter structure in the true form of the bloodline as the skeleton, and then with The original ether is flesh and blood, and finally the obsession in the soul is the core...it turns out that this is the heart-light body!"

The moment he saw the Heart Light Body, Ian understood that everything the sublimators of the first and second energy levels practiced was for this moment.

The first energy level sharpens the limits of the physical body and learns to control the essence; the second energy level condenses the soul and belief and uses the essence to influence the natural spiritual energy... All the exercises and practices done at these times are to perfect the mind, light and body. And condense it correctly.

This is an essential transformation.

Ian approached Elder Manya's heart-light body 'Dragon of Sheltering Wind' - the image of the heart-light body differs according to bloodline and true form. The bloodline one is naturally the image of the original monster, and the true form is the first generation of true form practice. The person confirms the full-strength fighting image when confirming the true form potion.

Psykers are quite special. Psykers who have psychic powers before the third energy level, most of their mental bodies are related to the obsession when awakening their psychic powers, and most of their images are strange and have everything.

Based on this image foundation, everyone will continue to transform their mental body into an image that is more suitable for themselves through practice.

Moreover, every heart-light body, or in other words, a third-level sublimated person, has a special ability because of the spiritual energy of life.

Elder Manya and his astral body also have it. It is a kind of wind of protection that can be blessed on himself or a designated target, allowing it to completely deflect and dodge almost all long-range attacks in a short period of time, and close close range attacks. Enemies will also be disturbed by the high-speed movement of the wind element, and they will be unable to accurately hit the target while slowing down, and may even be temporarily blinded.

At the same time, if used to attack, the frantic wind will create a vacuum, pulling all matter in all directions, pulling all people or objects within a large range into the vacuum, and temporarily restraining them in place.

This ability comes from the power of the wind control of Shao Weilong, and also comes from Elder Manya's obsession to 'protect' and 'unify' the mountain people. This aspect is the same as spiritual power.

Elder Manya continued to display his abilities, and his mind light body flew over the tribe and mountains. Ian observed it for nearly half an hour, and he couldn't help but feel a little tired - he had just entered the third energy level, so naturally it was impossible to maintain his mind light body for a long time. Hours are enough for an all-out battle.

"Thank you, elder."

Of course, Ian would not let the old man hold on. He thanked him softly and expressed gratitude from the bottom of his heart. This made the elder smile: "As long as you gain something."

Ian certainly gained something.

After all, he now also has a mind-light body.

It's just that his mind-light body is a bit strange, so Ian wants to verify himself by observing Elder Manya's mind-light body.

As an awakened psyker, Ian's precognitive vision already represents his obsession to "know everything". Although his mind-light body is only formed through pure soul condensation according to the method of "the road to sublimation of civilization in the previous era" It appears, but in theory it is also a manifestation of obsession.

But... his inner light body, the 'Guiding Star', is a little strange.

Originally, Ian felt that his mind-light body should be some kind of precognitive mind-light body based on precognitive vision, such as a 'prophecy book', which allowed him to predict various information in more specific details and guide others. People move towards a better future.

It is consistent with Ian’s obsession with seeking knowledge and the nature of a prophet to guide others to a better path.

Ian even plans to use this excuse to directly confirm his identity as a prophet after he reaches the third level, in conjunction with the rumors of the 'Thunder-dropping Prophet' that are now widely spread.

But the result... was slightly different.

Ian's light body is not a book, but a star.

Needless to say, the star is the foundation of all Ian's wishes, and it is more reasonable than the book.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no starry sky in this world, he would not be in a hurry to go to the sky and become a lord. Instead, he would happily form an adventure team to travel the entire world of Terra and explore the entirety of this novel world.

Starry sky? It’s not too late for me to travel all over Terra first!

The shape of the Cross Star Crown is a manifestation of Ian's arrogance - he believes that he comes from a world with a more advanced social structure, so he has the ability to guide everyone on Terra to the sky.

Ian acknowledges this arrogance, is not proud of it, and does not view it as mean.

This is a fact.

But every time Ian tried to activate the Guiding Star, it would respond with a strange 'unfulfilled' feeling.

This is strange - the heart light body is a condensed thing from the heart and soul. Once it is born, its holder can understand its name and how to use it.

Although the ability itself needs to be explored, how could it not be used?

After observing Elder Manya's mind light body, Ian found the answer.

"So my heart light body is the type that needs extra energy to fill it?"

"No, it should be that my mental body is too strong, but my physical body has not reached the third energy level, so if I want to use it now, I can only pay extra energy to avoid forcing it and hurting myself."

Talking to himself, Ian has not reached the third energy level yet, but he has the core of the ancient dragon, the ether crystal and the silver chip. He can also condense some 'primordial ether'.

Closing his eyes, Ian mobilized the Source Seed to transport the original ether in his body to his Heart Light Body.

The water-colored cross star appeared on the young man's forehead, and then derived from ten other stars. They lit up one by one to form the ring of the crown.

The 'Guiding Star' is still the same as when it first appeared. Its body, the largest and most dazzling cross-shaped star, shines on Ian's forehead. Two brighter, warm-colored cross stars are guarding on both sides, while the other The dim cross star forms the circle.

However, unlike in the past, when Ian tried to push but couldn't succeed.

With the support of the primordial ether, the entire guiding star shines brightly.

More than that……

At this moment, the phantoms of the insect swarm and the spiritual disaster disappeared in the twinkling stars... in a flash.

I feel like I haven’t written a lot less... but writing chapter by chapter has allowed me to regain the rhythm I used to have, and writing is quite smooth!
