What method did Zhou Ming think of to speed up the search?

Global search.

Take advantage of the system's global search capabilities.

This kind of search can exceed the speed of light, and can roughly scan the entire Lingyuan Continent in a relatively short period of time.

However, to conduct a global search, the system must exit the "dual-line mode" to free up part of the computing power.

This requires releasing Ye Kong's injection binding and ending the mission of "Grandpa".

"Ye Kong has been busy fighting for power these years, and his cultivation has long since stagnated. There is no hope of breaking through to the trance stage. There is no need to devote more attention to him."

Zhou Ming asked the system to directly exit the injection binding on Ye Kong (Ye Kong's cultivation level is not high, and exiting directly will not attract the attention of the guardian).

After the system frees up the computing load.

Zhou Ming's soul returned to his body in the real world.

Then enter the copy and enter the global search state.

In this state, Zhou Ming's soul quickly scanned near the middle of the continent at the speed of light.

The soul has no mass. If you find any strange phenomenon, you can slow down immediately and conduct detailed investigation.

This search lasted three months.

Sure enough, a major discovery was made!

Found the Holy Spirit!

Near the center of the continent, about 500 billion kilometers away from Cheng Yuan Continent, he found a super giant Yuan Continent with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.

In the center of Yuanzhou, there is a huge Spiritual Saint Dojo.

In this dojo, there are powerful spiritual saints!

Not only that, this spiritual saint also recruited a large number of disciples, and sent these disciples to control Yuanzhou with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.

In other words, that super giant Yuanzhou was a sect founded by the Spirit Saint.

The name of this sect is "Chao Sheng Sect".

The discovery of this sect made Zhou Ming extremely excited.

"As long as you go to the Chao Sheng Sect where spiritual saints exist, learn some advanced knowledge of cultivation, and become a spiritual saint, it is not impossible!"

In addition, using the system's "dual-line mode", even if Zhou Ming cannot join the 'Chao Sheng Sect', he can still unearth a lot of useful content by directly injecting and binding a disciple of the sect, which gives Zhou Ming great flexibility in action. .

The soul circulated around the 'Chao Shengzong' for several days. Zhou Ming was very lucky to be injected into the body of an inner disciple... He went crazy while practicing and almost died from an explosion.

This young man has good qualifications and talents, and is also the son of a high-level elder. He is highly regarded. After injecting and binding him, Zhou Ming learned a lot of information about the 'Chao Sheng Sect'.

Then I became less optimistic.

One, Chao Shengzong rarely recruits disciples from other continents. Even if they do, their status is not very high and they cannot learn superior techniques.

Second, Lingsheng often retreats, and each retreat is conducted in units of one hundred years. He spends little time in retreat, and does not teach his disciples much about spiritual practice. There are no books that have been circulated.

Moreover, Lingsheng recruited very few direct disciples, only eight in total. They are now the eight elders of the ‘Chao Sheng Sect’, and their cultivation levels are all at the peak of the late trance period.

And these eight elders have followed the Holy Spirit for more than 3,000 years.

If these eight elders fail to make a breakthrough, it is estimated that they will all die due to aging in a few decades.

Will that spiritual saint help his eight direct disciples?

Zhou Ming shook his head and said secretly: "This Holy Spirit is a master who loves to hide things."

Is it necessary to go to Chao Shengzong?

Zhou Ming has already set off.

Controlling the Speed ​​of Light to rise to an altitude of 50 million feet, flying at 0.1 times the speed of light in a vacuum with tiny gravity, it would take more than 200 days to reach Chao Shengzong.

Before departure, Elder Fukong expressed that he also wanted to join the team and set off with Zhou Ming to try his luck in other continents. However, there were not enough seats on the Lightspeed, so Zhou Ming had to say that after he became a spiritual saint, he would return to Yuanzhou to visit Just ask him to wait patiently.

"Then I don't know how many years and months it will take..."

Elder Fukong sighed. He was not going to die soon. He didn't know if it would be possible to enter the realm of spiritual saints in his lifetime.

In the end, he watched the "Deep Space Lightspeed" leave the Yuansheng Sect with envy on his face, wishing those few friends that some of them could step into the realm of the Holy Spirit.

…

220 days later.

The Speed ​​of Light arrived at Chao Shengzong.

Zhou Ming came to try his luck.

He stayed in this super giant continent for a full twenty years.

He tried his best to reach the top of the sect with his talent that amazes the world, and became a senior elder of an important department.

He has established a very close personal relationship with those eight elders.

Moreover, I saw the Holy Spirit with my own eyes, and my eyes met.

The light emanating from that spiritual saint's eyes was something Zhou Ming could never forget.

What kind of vision is that?

Ants.

Look like an ant.

There is no emotion, no disdain and ridicule, just a kind of indifference.

Indifference to everything.

Even in front of this spiritual saint, the eight elders listed many things that Zhou Ming had done. For example, he improved the process of refining magic weapons, increased the sect's tax revenue by three times, improved the sect's management system, and expanded the sect's business. The influence of the door, etc. After hearing this, the Holy Spirit just nodded slightly without any other emotion.

I don't even bother to say "well done".

A few days later, the Holy Spirit went back to retreat.

Zhou Ming and the eight elders looked at each other, extremely disappointed and frustrated.

I thought that if I kept the sect in order, I would get some "rewards" from the Holy Spirit, but in the end, there was nothing...

Spirit Saint continued to keep his own door shut, as if the sect's operation was good or bad, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Even if the eight elders reach the end of their lifespan soon, it has nothing to do with him.

"Kill him!"

On a piece of paper, Zhou Ming wrote these three words.

The eight elders were shocked and looked at him in disbelief. This...

"If you don't kill him, you won't have the slightest chance of a breakthrough. You will all die of old age within a few years, and he won't even shed a single tear!"

"You have followed him for more than three thousand years, and you have worked hard without any merit, but he has not given you the slightest hope of becoming a spiritual saint!"

"He himself has infinite life span and regards all living beings as ants. You ants can only turn into a piece of loess in front of him!"

"But even an ant must struggle hard before dying!"

"Kill him and refine his soul! There will definitely be a chance of survival!"

Zhou Ming came up with an extremely vicious idea and released the demons in the hearts of the eight elders.

"Master, you forced us to do this!"

The eight elders became furious, agreed to Zhou Ming's plan, and decided to kill the saint!

Three months later.

"Boom~"

After a loud noise.

A "Super Lingyuan Cannon" with a length of more than 500 meters and a front port diameter that could accommodate two strong men aimed at the secret room where the Spirit Saint meditated and practiced, and blasted it.

"Boom~"

The barrel of the super spiritual cannon was blown to pieces, and the spiritual crystal shells that came out of the barrel also exploded the secret room into powder.

A huge crater appeared on the ground.

The Holy Spirit is missing.

Did he die in one shot?

The eight elders were overjoyed and went to investigate near the big pit. They used the "soul search" technique to search for traces of the soul of the Holy Spirit.

But found nothing.

"This is impossible!"

An elder looked at the sky and suddenly shouted.

"Teacher...Master."

Another elder also stammered.

The Holy Spirit was not dead, but was suspended in the sky above their heads intact.

"Ah, kill!"

Out of fear, an elder struck the master with a palm.

"Hmph! You're just an ant, but you dare to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors? Die!"

The Holy Spirit took a photo, and eight flattened meat patties appeared in the big pit on the ground.

Instant kill!

Eight elders were instantly killed by Spirit Saint with one move.

So...where is Zhou Ming?

He ran away early.

The eight elders don’t quite understand the true strength of the Spirit Saint-level powerhouse. Doesn’t Zhou Ming still know?

He asked the system to perform calculations and found that no matter what conspiracy or trick was used to attack the Holy Spirit, the probability of success was no more than 10%.

The confinement area of ​​the Spiritual Saint is approximately between 100,000 and 500,000 miles. Every move within this range cannot escape the surveillance of the Spiritual Saint. It is simply a fantasy to kill the Spiritual Saint.

Therefore, after the eight elders took action, he had already controlled the Speed ​​of Light, ascended to an altitude of 500,000 miles, and observed with a telescope.

Seeing the failure of the eight elders, he immediately started the escape mode, accelerated with all his strength, and stayed away from this place of right and wrong.

The Holy Spirit seemed to have something, and came straight towards the Speed ​​of Light at an extremely astonishing speed!

Within two minutes, the distance between the two shrank to less than ten thousand miles.

Zhou Ming was shocked, accelerated like crazy, and ran away like crazy.

The Holy Spirit continued to chase after him, and the distance between them narrowed to less than a hundred miles.

Fortunately, the Speed ​​of Light has entered the vacuum, and its speed is close to 0.1 times the speed of light. The Holy Spirit has no accelerating medium to rely on, and the speed has slowed down. If it continues to pursue, it may not even be able to return to the ground.

When the closest distance was only a dozen miles away, the Holy Spirit stopped chasing and turned back to the ground.

"Huhu~"

"It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous~"

Zhou Ming gasped for air, feeling that he was almost one step away from gameover.

"Husband, don't do such dangerous things again."

Mu Feiyan, who was covered in sweat and had too much soul power, complained, "Slaying the Saint, it's so easy, but Ling Sheng slaughtered them with just one palm."

"Bai Feiyang, you really played too much this time and almost got yourself involved."

Gao Xiuzhen also said that the four of them had stayed in the Chao Sheng Sect for twenty years and tried their best to get close to the Holy Spirit, hoping to get a chance to break through. However, despite all their efforts, all they got was in vain.

"Since this spiritual saint is unwilling to preach, the next step is to find another spiritual saint. Twenty years is too long for us to spend there."

Jiang Ruonan also felt that the gain was not worth the loss.

"I'm just a little reluctant. I don't know how that guy became a spiritual saint? He attained the Tao but didn't share some opportunities with his disciples. It's too selfish and narrow-minded... I didn't expect that a spiritual saint would have such virtues. .”

Zhou Ming smiled bitterly and said that he felt that selfish and narrow-minded people should learn a lesson, no matter how powerful they are.

This time it was a mess. Eight elders and a large number of Chao Sheng Sect disciples became cannon fodder in his conspiracy. They did not gain much, except that they gained a deeper understanding of Ling Sheng's character.

During the journey of spiritual practice, few people who stand at the top will be selfless and dedicated people.

There are many ruthless spiritual saints who regard all living beings as ants.

Therefore, when dealing with this group of people, trying your best to please and show off your talents may not be effective.

The most important thing is to be able to come up with something that these spiritual saints are willing to exchange for opportunities.

The question is: Can Zhou Ming come up with something that is attractive to even spiritual saints?
