The Path of Evolution

Wantong Holiday Hotel, not far from the seaside, is a famous five-star hotel in Zhonghai.

Zhao Hao saw Xiaodao in the hotel and was very moved. This guy was too upright. In order to answer his questions, he made a special trip to Zhonghai. At the same time, Zhao Hao was also a little nervous. He even opened a room with a knife. Those who didn't know the truth would definitely think that these two men had opened a room to cause trouble, and the atmosphere suddenly became corrupt.

When they met, Zhao Hao asked: "Why did you stay in this hotel?"

Although Xiao Dao has lost all his skills, his body is still strong and strong. He said with a smile: "This is my second senior brother's property. I am here to live and eat for free."

After a pause, he added: "The Moon Doctor has also come to Zhonghai. The main reason I came here this time is to ask her for help and see if I can restore my skills."

Zhao Hao realized that he was being sentimental and that this person did not come to see him at all, so he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Can the Moon God Doctor cure you?"

"I don't know either. I heard that Moon God Doctor cured a man with paralysis of his lower limbs some time ago. Let me try my luck." Xiaodao replied, with some expectation in his eyes.

Zhao Hao suddenly realized that he had tried it. The Ganlin Curse could only treat internal and external injuries, but could not cure diseases. It could not even cure colds and fevers. Xiaodao's condition can be considered a chronic disease, and there is nothing Zhao Hao can do about it.

"It's not convenient to say what you asked me about last time on WeChat. In fact, I don't know much." Xiaodao added: "When my second senior brother comes, you can just ask him. The senior brother's name is Wan Shitong, and his nickname is Wan Shitong. , knows everything about the martial arts world, and he also knows something about the situation abroad."

Not long after, a middle-aged man who looked like a wealthy businessman appeared.

This person is very eloquent at first glance. It is difficult to imagine that he is a disciple of the Eight Great Sects.

Zhao Hao opened his eyes. He had heard from Xuewei that disciples of the eight major sects were spread all over the country, and some were hiding in the city. It was indeed the case. If he guessed correctly, Wanshitong operates this five-star hotel with more or less support from the sect.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries, and Wan Shitong was extremely enthusiastic. Over-enthusiasm would appear to be polite.

Xiaodao saw that Zhao Hao was a little worried and said, "Senior brother, Zhao Hao is my good friend who lives and dies in the evolutionary world. He is not an outsider, so you don't have to be polite."

Wan Shitong immediately changed his demeanor: "Okay, Xiao Zhao, if you have any trouble, just ask. On the border of China and the sea, black and white friends will give Wan a certain amount of face."

Zhao Hao smiled and said: "I'm not in any trouble, I just have some questions that I want to ask Brother Wan for advice."

Wan Shitong was very happy when he heard this: "Haha, if you want to say something else, I really may not be able to solve it. If you ask me for gossip, then you are really looking for the right person. Brother, I don't have any other skills, but I am relatively well-informed. "

Zhao Hao did not get straight to the point this time and asked tentatively: "Brother Wan, how many second-order evolvers are there in the country now?"

Wanshitong said without thinking: "It's hard to say the exact number. I estimate that it is no less than a thousand people."

Zhao Hao felt clear in his heart. The old man said casually that the number was similar to what Duan Simin said. Sure enough, he had two brushes. He remained calm and asked a second question: "How did these thousands of people get to the second-order evolutionary world?"

"Most of them are mutated and ascended. There are a lot of talents in the country, and there are not a few who have full mutant genes. I heard that many people who mutated and ascended regretted it. They knew nothing about the ancient city at the beginning, and thought that ascending meant being teleported back to their country, and they were in a hurry. "I ascended, but I didn't do well in the second-order evolutionary world." Wanshitong still had reservations and did not elaborate on the situation in the second-order evolutionary world.

"Most?" Zhao Hao grasped a key word: "Then how did the other part of people ascend?"

"The other group of people are not ascended." Wan Shitong is worthy of being a gossip expert and knows all the gossip: "Those people are directly transported to the second-level evolutionary world as soon as they walk into the seven-color light pillar."

Finally getting to the point, Zhao Hao was a little excited and asked a question that had been in his heart for a long time: "Those people have been in the country before, so they probably don't have full genes. How can they directly enter the second-level evolutionary world?"

"Haha, Xiao Zhao, you have entered a misunderstanding in your thinking. In these days of universal evolution, the first thing everyone thinks of is various genes, and the idea was wrong from the beginning." Know-it-all smiled and said: "Those people have entered the second-level evolutionary world. , has nothing to do with genes.”

"What does that have to do with?" Zhao Hao asked eagerly.

Wan Shitong slowly spit out two words: "Spiritual power."

Zhao Hao was surprised: "Isn't spiritual power a power only available to second-level evolvers?"

"No, spiritual power is not just something that exists in the evolutionary world. As early as thousands of years ago, there was such a thing as spiritual power in China. It was cultivated by ancient Qi practitioners and mysterious ascetics. It's spiritual power." Wanshitong broke the news: "Before the colorful light pillar came, China was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there were many experts who had developed spiritual power."

Zhao Hao drew inferences from one example: "In other words, as long as spiritual power is developed in the body, it will be directly transferred to the second-level evolutionary world. Is this what you mean?"

"That's right!" Wanshitong bought one and got one free, and came with a message: "There is a power that is deeper than spiritual power, called magic power. Hundreds of years ago, the founder of Wudang, Zhang Sanfeng, was a legend with great magic power. He is also a real person in history recognized by the martial arts community. During the late Qing Dynasty, there were several real people with magic power in China. During the war, they had a fight with Western superpowers. As for whether there are any real people alive now, then It’s hard to say.”

Zhao Hao's mind was buzzing. Are those legendary real people third-level evolvers who are more powerful than second-level evolvers?

He calmed down his messy mind and asked, "Are there any qigong practitioners and ascetics left now?"

"Qi Refiners have been extinct for hundreds of years, but now there are people who are in the same line as Qi Refiners, such as wizards in Miao and Tibetan lamas. Their methods are similar to Qi Refiners." Wan Shitong said: "As for the It is difficult to define a Taoist. Strictly speaking, my junior brother and I are also considered Taoists. The ultimate goal pursued by warriors in the world is nothing more than eight words - entering the Tao through martial arts and breaking the void!"

Zhao Hao looked at the other party in shock: "Is there an expert in your sect who can break the void?"

"Haha, Brother Zhao is joking. Entering the Tao with martial arts and breaking the void are two realms. First, you have to break through the limits of martial arts and transform from a warrior to a cultivator. This is called entering the Dao with martial arts. When you reach the realm of a cultivator, you have to After practicing for many years, when the right time, place and people are in place, it is possible to break the void." When Wan Shitong said this, he sighed: "The so-called broken void is just a legend. Our Kongtong sect has not seen such a strange person for two hundred years. .”

Zhao Hao's heart moved. Hearing this old man's subtext, the Hollow Sect did not have people who could break the void, but there were experts who had entered the Tao through martial arts.

When it comes to the secrets of other sects, Zhao Hao doesn't want to pry around, so he makes a roundabout way: "Brother Wan, I would like to ask, are there many experts in the eight major sects who have entered the Tao through martial arts?"

"There aren't many to say. Among the eight sects, only Shaolin, Wudang, and us, Kongtong, pursue Taoism through martial arts, and only a handful of them have reached this level." Wanshitong answered all questions: "Other sects follow different routes. , the Kunlun sect is the most mysterious, rarely setting foot in the world of mortals, and their practice method can be called an inexplicable mystery. Emei entered Taoism with a sword, and it is said that there was a swordsman in the past. Maoshan and Longhushan have the same purpose. These two sects search for innate spirits all over the world. The descendant of Fei, his disciples have developed spiritual power early on."

Zhao Hao was shocked: "Maoshan and Longhushan are all second-order evolvers?"

"Xiao Zhao, I just said, don't use the thinking of the evolutionary world to judge the figures in the martial arts world." Wan Shitong smiled and said: "Although the disciples of these two sects have developed spiritual power, they usually do some business of catching monsters and ghosts. , the combat effectiveness may not be very strong. I use the game terminology that you young people are accustomed to to explain. Generally, warriors are equivalent to warriors, and disciples of those two sects are equivalent to mages. Once a warrior gets close, the mages' lives are not guaranteed. Maoshan and Longhu Mountain, the one who can hold up the scene is their heavenly master."

Zhao Hao suddenly realized: "Isn't it dangerous for the disciples of these two sects to go to the second-order evolutionary world?"

Wanshitong nodded and said: "That's right. There are quite a few disciples from both factions who have been transported to the second-order evolutionary world. Their overall combat effectiveness may not be as good as the mutated and ascended evolvers, and their lives are not good."

Zhao Hao raised another question: "Brother Wan, what is the innate spiritual fetus you just mentioned?"

"It is rare for a person to be born with the ability to sense spiritual power. It is rare to find one among millions of people. Such people practice Taoism and get twice the result with half the effort. They can develop spiritual power in a few years with high talent." Wanshitong continued: "Innate There are also three, six or nine levels of spiritual fetuses, among which the most powerful ones are born with the ability to awaken supernatural powers, which is the kind of superpowers the foreign devils talk about."

Is there such an operation?

Zhao Hao was shocked and his eyes were opened again.

At this moment, he truly entered another circle from an ordinary person.

"In Maoshan and Longhu Mountain, disciples who awaken their powers before the age of eighteen are often the heirs of the Heavenly Master." Wan Shitong continued: "I don't know why, but there are more supernatural beings born in Western countries, and there are also some Although there is only one ancient city built by European and American countries, in the second-level evolutionary world, those foreigners are thriving, and their blond and blue-eyed appearance is more in line with the appetite of monsters. "

Speaking of this, Wanshitong gave a piece of advice: "Brother Zhao, I advise you not to rush to ascend. Accumulation is the right way. The environment in the second-level evolutionary world is very chaotic recently. The head-turning masters of Thailand, the ninjas and onmyojis of Japan, There are also some weird characters in India who have joined forces to cause trouble, mainly targeting us Chinese evolvers."

"There are really professions like ninja and onmyoji?" Zhao Hao was stunned. What he had seen in anime before actually appeared in real life, which he couldn't accept for a while.

"There are all kinds of wonders in the world." Wanshitong sighed: "Fortunately, we Chinese second-level evolvers can still compete with those demons and monsters. In addition to the apparent organization of the Evolution Bureau, there is also an organization that has been established for decades. The mysterious organization is called [Dragon Soul]. It is said that the people in it have special powers. If you encounter a little witch named [Zi Yan] in the future, be careful."
