My breathing can improve my power

"I've met the Heavenly Sect's envoy."

All the elders of the Baji Branch also saluted Zhou Shan.

"No need to be polite."

Zhou Shan waved his hand and said.

His current identity is different from the past.

When the true disciples of the Baji Tianzong reach the intermediate dynasties and low-level dynasties below, they are the ‘Senior Envoys of the Tianzong’, and their status is far above the masters of the low-level dynasties.

The sect leaders of intermediate dynasties who are also in the Earth Yuan realm must be treated with respect. Even the court officials of low-level dynasties and intermediate dynasties must call them 'shangshi'.

In terms of strength, each of the six heavenly sects of the Dali Dynasty is slightly weaker than the Dali Dynasty, but not much different. Therefore, the entire Dali Dynasty belongs to the situation where the sect and the court jointly rule the world. Datianzong and the imperial court were on equal footing.

In some important cities within the sphere of influence of the six Tianzongs, warriors from the Tianzong serve as city lords, but in name they still have to accept canonization from the imperial court.

"I don't know how to call the Heavenly Sect's envoy."

Lu Zuo didn't dare to be careless and asked cautiously.

"Zhou Shan!"

"Your Majesty, I will ask someone to prepare a banquet immediately. Please tell me about it."

Lu Zuodao.

"There is no need for these false gifts. It is better to deal with the demon warrior as soon as possible. Every extra second of delay may cause someone to die. Where is the demon warrior now?"

Zhou Shan said in a deep voice.

"Envoy Zhou Shang is really considerate of the people and has great mercy. This is the blessing of the people of the Liang Dynasty." Lu Zuo immediately sent a flattery, and then said: "According to the latest news, this demon warrior has now appeared in Ping'an County. , after massacring Ping An County, he did not leave, but instinctively swallowed the blood and condensed the Xuanming Blood Evil Qi."

"Condensing the energy of Xuanming Blood Evil, what this demon warrior is refining is Xuanming Blood Evil?"

Zhou Shan asked.

"Yes, even though the warriors from the branch sect did not get too close, they recognized that what this demon warrior mastered was the Xuanming Blood Evil, a middle-grade earth evil spirit."

Lu Zuo nodded.

"Okay, without further ado, let's head to Ping'an County."

Zhou Shan asked Lu Zuo, the leader of the branch sect, to follow him to Ping'an County.

He was not familiar with the Liang Dynasty and needed someone to guide him.

"Yes, envoy!"

Naturally, Lu Zuo had no reason to refuse Zhou Shan's order.

Immediately, the two stood on the back of Ziyunying and flew towards Ping'an County.

Less than half an hour.

Ziyunying came to the sky above Ping'an County.

At this time, the entire city became a dead city, there was no sound at all, and all the people in the city were massacred by the demon warriors.

The Purple Cloud Eagle slowly descended and stopped on the city wall.

Zhou Shan looked ahead and could see corpses on the streets in the city, and these corpses seemed to have been drained of blood and turned into mummies.

In the center of the city, Zhou Shan saw a tall figure.

This is a huge black bear, more than ten meters tall. It exudes a terrible blood-red evil spirit and is devouring blood.

As the blood-red evil spirit spread, the blood in the corpses on the ground was guided out, and then blended into the blood-red evil spirit.

"This is the demon warrior!"

Seeing this huge black bear, Zhou Shan narrowed his eyes slightly.

From the appearance point of view, this demon warrior has no human appearance at all. He is completely a black bear, and his own consciousness has also been corroded by evil spirits.

If it is a normal demon warrior, he will definitely not stay for a long time after massacring a city, because the demon warrior knows very well that the Daliang Dynasty does not have strong men who have reached the Earth Yuan realm, but the major forces and the court of the Daliang Dynasty will definitely show their support to the Daliang Dynasty. The Six Heavenly Sects and the Dali Dynasty asked for help. When the time comes, strong men will come to kill him.

But this demon warrior failed to break through, or he was half successful. Although he successfully broke through to the Earth Element Realm and cultivated his magic power, his mental consciousness was also affected by the Earthly Evil Qi and became chaotic and violent. Only knows killing.

After massacring a city, the demon warrior instinctively swallowed the blood and used it to condense the Xuan Ming Blood Evil refined by ascension.

The Xuanming Blood Evil is a very destructive and domineering earth evil spirit. As a Yin attribute evil spirit, not only is it extremely cold, but the Blood Evil can also contaminate people's Qi and blood, dissolve flesh and blood, and refine the Xuanming Blood Evil. The true meaning mastered by the Earth Yuan realm venerable is the true meaning of blood. With one palm, everything freezes and flesh and blood melt.

Cultivation in the Earth Yuan realm, in addition to improving mana, is also about improving the power of true meaning. Improving mana is very simple, it is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

But if you want to improve your true meaning, you have to refine the corresponding earth evil energy. Most of the earth evil energy is in the hands of the six heavenly sects and the Dali dynasty, so most of the earth yuan realm sages who are casual cultivators spend all their magic power. He has reached the perfect state of cultivation, but when it comes to the cultivation of the power of true meaning, he is still at the entry level.

But Zhou Shan is different. With the talent of Nine Breath Conquering Qi, he can not only swallow higher spiritual energy from the depths of the void, but also absorb the black evil energy of Xuan Ming.

Therefore, Zhou Shan's mana and dark true meaning both improved at the same time.

Name: Zhou Shan

Talent: Nine Breaths of Convince

Mana: 38 (years)

Kung Fu: Black True Sutra [Characteristics: Introduction to the True Meaning of Darkness (38%)]

Vajra Indestructibility [Characteristics: Invulnerable to all poisons, six levels of shock resistance, both hard and soft, exhaling like an arrow, perfect body, body transformed into Vajra, giant spirit, strengthened rage, thunder flames, Vajra artistic conception, flame artistic conception, thunder artistic conception】

slightly……

Zhou Shan opened the panel and took a look. His accumulation of mana had reached thirty-eight years, and the progress in practicing the true meaning of darkness had reached 38% of entry level.

This kind of strength is not like just breaking through to the Earth Yuan Realm, and can be compared with some sages who have broken through to the Earth Yuan Realm for more than ten years.

"wait for me here!"

Zhou Shan gave an order, asking Lu Zuo to wait where he was, and then immediately rushed towards the demon warriors in the city who had been completely demonized.

In the past, although Zhou Shan had heard about the dangers of demon warriors and how they harmed living beings, that was only a literal understanding.

But now, after seeing with his own eyes that the demon warriors were eroded by evil spirits and completely demonized and turned into killing machines, massacring hundreds of thousands of creatures in a city, he knew why the Dali Dynasty and the Six Heavenly Sects wanted to destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

The danger of the demon warrior is indeed too great and should be killed.

If left alone, this demonized demon warrior might be able to destroy the Liang Dynasty, and who knows how many people would die.

Whoosh!

Zhou Shan's figure flashed and rushed towards the black bear demon warrior who was completely demonized.

After a while, Zhou Shan was less than a hundred meters away from the black bear demon warrior.

At this time, the blood-devouring black bear demon warrior also sensed it. He turned around and saw Zhou Shan rushing towards him quickly.

"Roar!"

The black bear demon warrior roared at Zhou Shan.

The Xuanming Blood Evil Qi in the sky was like a tide, forming a river of blood and immediately rushing towards Zhoushan, accompanied by terrifying sound waves.

The moment the black bear demon warrior roared out, Zhou Shan immediately sealed his ears with his true energy, and at the same time, a river of blood rushed towards him on the spiritual level.

After reaching the Earth Element Realm, one has already integrated spiritual power and true energy. Each move has not only a realistic attack, but also a spiritual attack.

If he had not reached the Earth Element Realm, his mental consciousness would have been so shocked that he would have been unable to move in the face of such an attack.

But Zhou Shan was still able to stay awake despite the impact.

In other words, these attacks had no impact on him.

This is true whether it is on a spiritual level or a practical level.

The true magic power in Zhou Shan's body immediately started to work, and a layer of black body-protecting Qi was instantly formed all over his body, blocking the incoming Xuanming Blood Evil from outside.

Xuanyin Black Evil is a high-grade evil spirit, and the mana it possesses after being refined is purer than the middle-grade Xuanming Blood Evil.

Therefore, no matter how Xuan Ming Blood Demon attacks, Zhou Shan's body-protecting aura cannot be broken. Unless the black bear demon warrior has stronger magic power and slowly wears away Zhou's body-protecting aura over time, it is possible to break through it. .

But this black bear demon warrior had just broken through to the Earth Element Realm. Even if he devoured the blood of hundreds of thousands of people in a city, he would only have accumulated a few years of mana at most and could not compete with Zhou Shan.

"The Great Sun Burning Sky Sword!"

At this time, the black nightmare knife in Zhou Shan's hand was unsheathed.

Following the direction of the blade, a black sun rose and then hit the black bear demon warrior.

After breaking through to the Earth Element Realm, the power of artistic conception mastered by Zhou Shan was integrated with the true energy and Xuan Ming Heisha, and condensed into the true essence mana.

Zhou Shan can use his true energy to activate his previous martial arts, but these martial arts have changed, with the dark true meaning being the main focus.

The Great Sun Burning Sky Sword incorporates the true meaning of darkness, and the true meaning of darkness is the main one. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the Dark Sky Sword.

Zhou Shan has refined the Xuanyin Black Evil. As long as he uses his true energy to attack, even ordinary swords and moves will contain the true meaning of darkness.

In the void, a black sun appeared, emitting endless black light.

As the black light spreads, the blood river condensed by the Xuan Ming Blood Demon in the void quickly melts, retreating steadily.

Within a few breaths, the blood river in the void had been completely suppressed by the black sun.

The black sun appeared above the head of the black bear demon warrior and moved towards the black bear demon warrior. The black bear demon warrior's eyes suddenly went dark and he lost his sense of Zhou Shan.

"die!"

Zhou Shan's body flashed, and he instantly caught the black bear demon warrior. Then he raised the long knife in his hand and sent out a sword energy to chop towards the head of the black bear demon warrior.

puff--

Accompanied by a clear sound of flesh and blood being torn apart, the head of the black bear demon warrior was cut off with a single slash. It was immediately removed from his neck and fell heavily to the ground.

The demon warriors who have broken through to the Earth Element Realm have demon power to protect their bodies. Their physical bodies are harder than those of mid-level treasure weapons, but in front of Zhou Shan's sword, they are as brittle as paper.

The black nightmare knife in Zhou Shan's hand is an earth-level treasure.

Before breaking through to the Earth Element Realm, Zhou Shan needed to drain all the energy from his body to activate the Black Nightmare Sword, and he was unable to exert its full power.

However, if you break through to the Earth Element Realm and use the true magic power to activate it, you can easily activate the Black Nightmare Sword, and you can maximize the power of the Black Nightmare Sword.

That's why Zhou Shan was able to kill the black bear demon warrior so easily.

Keng!

The head of the black bear demon warrior fell to the ground, and Zhou Shan sheathed his sword.

thump.

At this time, the huge body of the black bear demon warrior also fell heavily to the ground.

Zhou Shan went forward and groped for a while, and soon found a mustard seed bag from the black bear demon warrior. He opened the mustard seed bag and looked at it. It contained hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones, some demon martial arts secrets, and a demon crystal that exuded mana fluctuations.

"This is a demon crystal that has reached the Earth Element Realm."

Zhou Shan's eyes showed joy.

Human warriors must reach the Dan Yuan realm before they can condense Yuan Dan in their bodies, but for monsters, they can condense the essence of power into their bodies after reaching the Xiantian realm.

That is the demon crystal.

Demon crystals have many uses, such as being used to refine elixirs, treasure weapons, and arrange formations. Even demon warriors who practice demon martial arts can directly absorb the power of demon crystals. This black bear demon warrior broke through When you reach the Earth Yuan Realm, you should directly absorb the power of the Earth Yuan Realm demon crystals.

Because Zhou Shan felt the evil spirit of Xuan Ming from this demon crystal.

Ordinary blood exchange level demon crystals are worth only a few dozen spirit stones to over a thousand spirit stones, but earth level demon crystals that have reached the earth element level are not as valuable as an earth level treasure weapon, but they are still around 100,000 spirit stones. .

Therefore, if Zhou Shan hands over this earth-level demon crystal, he will get 100,000 contribution points.

In the mission, the only requirement is to hand over the body of the demon warrior, so that you can get 10,000 contribution points. The rest are all battle items belonging to Zhou Shan.

In the mustard bag, Zhou Shan found another diary.

This was left by the Black Bear Demon Warrior, who recorded all his experiences. When he was young, he was not valued by his family. He fell off a cliff while going out to collect medicine. Fortunately, he did not die, and then accidentally entered a cave.

A seriously injured warrior was found in the cave.

This warrior is the demon warrior.

Since then, he has also embarked on the path of a demon warrior.

After practicing the secrets of demon martial arts, he also rose step by step, defeating the geniuses who looked down on him step by step in the family, and then broke through to the Xiantian realm and the blood exchange realm, growing all the way, and almost standing on the top of the Liang Dynasty.

At this point, this person is almost the protagonist.

But when he broke through to the Earth Element Realm, he failed.

The spiritual consciousness cannot bear the Earth Crystal Demon Crystal, and the consciousness is occupied by chaotic killing, reducing it to a machine that only knows how to kill, leaving only instinct.

Except for an earth-level demon crystal and hundreds of spirit stones, there was nothing else in the mustard bag. Even if there were other treasures, they were probably used by the black bear demon warriors.

Zhou Shan put the body of the black bear demon warrior into a mustard bag, then took out the beast control seal and injected it with mana. The collar around the Purple Cloud Eagle's neck glowed.

Immediately, the Purple Cloud Eagle flew from the city wall to Zhou Shan.

Zhou Shan took the Purple Cloud Eagle and sent Lu Zuo back to the Baji branch, and then said: "Sect Master Lu, the demon warriors have been dealt with. I will leave the follow-up matters in Ping'an County to you. I will return to Tianzong first. "

"Congratulations to the envoy Zhou."

Lu Zuo respectfully watched Zhou Shan leave and disappear into the horizon.

Three days later.

Zhou Shan returned to Baji Tianzong and immediately went to the mission hall to submit the mission.

He handed the body of the black bear demon warrior to the elders of the mission hall.

"Yes, the mission was completed in six days. It seems that you did not delay on the road, but went to perform the mission wholeheartedly. Give me the identity token."

The elder of the mission hall looked at the body of the black bear demon warrior and nodded.

Zhou Shan handed the identity token to the elder of the mission hall.

"The mission is completed and you receive 10,000 contribution points."

The elder of the mission hall settled the mission.

Zhou Shan received 10,000 contribution points.

After settling the mission, Zhou Shan did not take on a new mission. Instead, he left the mission hall and came to the contribution hall and took out the earth-level demon crystal.

In the Contribution Hall, spiritual stones can be exchanged for contribution points.

Of course, in addition to spiritual stones, other treasures such as demon crystals, earth-level treasures, etc. can also be exchanged for contribution points.

"This is an Earth-level demon crystal. If you exchange it for contribution points, it will cost you one hundred thousand." The elder of the Contribution Hall said, "Are you sure you want to exchange it for contribution points?"

"Yes."

Zhou Shan nodded.

"good!"

The elder of the Contribution Hall nodded.

Leaving the Contribution Hall, Zhou Shan's contribution points reached 110,000.

Rested for three days.

Zhou Shan came to the mission hall again and started to receive missions.

"Kill the ancient dragon ape and obtain the dragon ape's essence and blood in its body. If the ancient dragon ape's essence and blood reaches the earth level, one drop will cost 10,000 contribution points."

Zhou Shan took on another task.

This ancient dragon ape is a monster beast with ancient bloodline.

Their bodies have extremely thin dragon blood, which makes them relatively powerful beings in the world of monsters and beasts.

After the ancient dragon ape reaches adulthood, it basically has the strength to exchange blood for more than seven times.

Among them, the leader of the ancient dragon ape has the strength of the Earth Yuan realm.

However, once the ancient dragon ape gives birth to a leader comparable to the Earth Yuan Realm, it will be hunted by human warriors, and the essence and blood of the dragon ape in the body will be extracted to refine elixirs that enhance cultivation.

Zhou Shan accepted this task, then went to the Beast Control Peak to receive the flying mount Ziyun Eagle, and left the Baji Tianzong on the Ziyun Eagle.

One day later, Zhou Shan arrived at Dragon Ape Ridge where the ancient Dragon Ape was.

Half an hour later.

After a great battle, Zhou Shan killed the leader of the ancient dragon ape.

The strength of this ancient dragon ape leader was much stronger than that of the out-of-control black bear demon warrior, and Zhou Shan could only rely on time to slowly wear him to death.

"If my magic power breaks through a hundred years and my dark artistic conception reaches the realm of Xiaocheng, then it will be easier to kill this ancient dragon ape."

Zhou Shan secretly thought in his heart.

The higher the mana cultivation level, the stronger the mana is, and the stronger the true meaning of heaven and earth is, the quality is represented.

His current dark true meaning is still at the entry level.

If the true meaning of darkness breaks through from the entry level to Xiaocheng, it will be able to crush the Earth Yuan Realm venerable who only has the entry level in the realm of heaven and earth.

This is the same as the fusion of two artistic conceptions that can crush the blood-changing grand master who only masters the power of one artistic conception.

It would be easier if the true meaning of darkness reached its peak.

Zhou Shan put the body of the ancient dragon ape into a mustard bag, returned to the Baji Tianzong, and then handed over the body of the leader of the ancient dragon ape to the elder of the mission hall.

The elder of the mission hall extracted nine drops of ancient dragon ape essence and blood.

One drop of ancient dragon ape essence and blood is 10,000 contribution points, and nine drops is 90,000 contribution points.

After the mission was completed this time, Zhou Shan was not in a hurry to accept the mission. He decided to wait until the mana had been accumulated to perfection and the true meaning of darkness reached perfection before accepting the mission.

Once the true meaning of darkness reaches the perfect state, ordinary level five tasks will be nothing to Zhou Shan.

Most of the Earth Yuan Realm sages, even if they have accumulated their magic power to perfection, most of them only stay at the entry level when it comes to the cultivation of true meaning.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than eight months have passed.

Name: Zhou Shan

Talent: Nine Breaths of Convince

Mana: 300 (year)

Kung Fu: Black True Sutra [Characteristic: Perfection of Dark True Meaning]

Vajra Indestructibility [Characteristics: Invulnerable to all poisons, six levels of shock resistance, both hard and soft, exhaling like an arrow, perfect body, body transformed into Vajra, giant spirit, strengthened rage, thunder flames, Vajra artistic conception, flame artistic conception, thunder artistic conception】

slightly……

"The cultivation of Earth Yuan Realm has reached the state of perfection."

Zhou Shan opened the panel and took a look at the data, then ended his practice. At the same time, the Nine Breath Convince Talent also temporarily stopped running.

At this time, the mana in his body was full and had reached a limit. Even if he continued to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the black evil energy of Xuanyin, his mana would be difficult to continue to increase.

"The true meaning of darkness is complete. With my strength, even if I face an ordinary Tianyuan Realm venerable, I still have the power to fight!"

Zhou Shan secretly thought in his heart.

As long as a venerable person in the Earth Yuan Realm cultivates his magic power to perfection, he can cultivate the yang attribute of Earth Evil Qi to break through to the Tian Yuan Realm.

As for the power of true meaning, that is something that needs to be considered only when the Tianyuan realm has been cultivated to perfection and it is about to hit the Danyuan realm.

If you want to break through to the Alchemy Realm and make the Yin-attributed Earthly Evil Qi and the Yang-attributed Earthly Evil Qi harmonious, the prerequisite is to cultivate both true powers to perfection.

Only when both true meanings reach perfection can the essence be condensed into elixir.

However, because of the scarcity and preciousness of the earthly evil veins, even if most of the earthly realm sages have cultivated their magic power to perfection, most of them are only at the entry level or the small level of cultivation for the power of true meaning, and very few have reached the great level. Don’t say it’s complete.

Most casual cultivators, even if they break through to the Tianyuan realm, may not cultivate a true meaning to perfection. Instead, they first cultivate their magic power to perfection, and then slowly cultivate the power of true meaning.

Zhou Shan's current cultivation has reached the perfection of the Earth Yuan Realm, with three hundred years of mana, and the true meaning of darkness has also reached the perfection state. He is invincible in the Earth Yuan Realm. Even against some Tianyuan Realm casual cultivators, he can still fight.

Even if you can't beat him, there is no problem in protecting yourself.

"Start taking the mission."

Zhou Shan ended his retreat and headed to the mission hall.

The place to go to the Tianyang Fierce Earth Veins to practice requires 500,000 contribution points, and he has completed two tasks before, killing the demon warrior to get 10,000 contribution points, and turning in an earth-level demon crystal to exchange for 100,000 contribution points. This is 110,000 contribution points.

Then, he completed a task of collecting the essence and blood of ancient dragon apes and obtained 90,000 contribution points, so he now has a total of 200,000 contribution points, which is still 300,000 short of 500,000 contribution points.
