Chapter 288: Chapter 288, the unconfident first spear in the world [ Third Watch, ask for a monthly pa.s.s ]
There were a total of nine drops of Dao Tears, four of which were taken by du Longyang and the other four at the infant transformation realm.
Tang Xiansheng from the South Prefecture took two drops of Dao Tears.
Overlord and Tantai Xuan also took one drop each.
The last drop was taken by one of the big families in the South Prefecture.
This family was very low-key.
They all understood the principle of not revealing one’s wealth.
Compared to people like the Xiliang King and the Beixuan King, who were not to be trifled with, this family was the weakest.
Because they were weak, it was easy for them to be targeted.
This family was very clear about their current situation. He arranged for a carriage to go against the other families and secretly left North Luo City.
After slapping a dao tear, he might very well become the target of plunder by other factions that didn’t manage to get a Dao tear.
This possibility wasn’t without reason.
Although the other factions were also aristocratic families and had their own reputations, in the face of huge benefits, he wasn’t sure if these influential people would choose to go against the grain.
As expected.
When the head of the aristocratic family rode the carriage and headed towards South County, the worst situation in his heart still happened.
He originally thought that if he and his group left North Luo City and did not head towards Wolong Ridge, they would not be targeted.
However..
They were still targeted.
Moreover, if they were targeted at this moment, the other party’s aim was definitely for the ‘Dao Lei’in his hands.
The sound of horse hooves exploded, raising the dust on the ground.
Black figures riding horses rushed over from the official road in the distance.
The head of the aristocratic family lifted the curtain of the horse carriage, and the expression on his face began to change.
This aristocratic family was not a weak aristocratic family. In the South Prefecture, there were many powerful aristocratic families, although many of them could not compare to Tang Xiansheng, and their wealth could rival a country.
However, they also had a lot of resources.
This aristocratic family had nurtured many cultivators. They had even hired many martial arts experts from the pugilistic world.
“Protect the family head!”
The commander of the guards roared.
This commander of the guards was not weak. He was a ninth stage qi Dan and was the most powerful fighting force in this aristocratic family.
However, at this moment, this commander’s expression was extremely grave.
This was because he could already feel the power of this group of people.
The black-robed group riding on horses continuously circled around the aristocratic family’s carriage.
The battle soon erupted.
The defending army of this aristocratic family was not weak, and their numbers were not small either. When they fought, they were on par with the enemy.
This also caused the head of the aristocratic family in the carriage to heave a sigh of relief.
Looks like there was still hope.
The ones who came to s.n.a.t.c.h the Dao Tear in his hand should not be those powerful factions.
There was still hope for him to fight his way out of the encirclement.
If he could preserve the DAO tears, the family would definitely be able to use this dao tear to nurture cultivators who were in the body hiding realm or the heaven locking realm to rise.
However, very quickly, the hope of this aristocratic family head was extinguished.
Because, on the official road in the distance.
Four figures slowly walked out.
The leader was a graceful young master wearing a black brocade robe.
Behind this person, there were three people wearing bamboo hats whose faces could not be seen clearly.
“It’s You!”
When this aristocratic family head saw Liu Yuanhao, his pupils immediately shrank.
“You dare to plunder like this, aren’t you afraid that White Jade Capital will find trouble with you? !”
This aristocratic family head roared angrily.
“TSK TSK TSK…”
“Don’t shout, do you think White Jade Capital is your family’s Guard?”
“If you have the guts to bid, then you must have the ability to bring it back alive. When you bid for this item, you should have prepared yourself for the worst.”
“Do you think that with so many aristocratic families, why can’t they compete with you? Are they really unable to compete with you? It’s not that… they’re only afraid of obtaining this dao tear, and they’re unable to return alive.”
Liu Yuan Hao said with a light smile.
“Let me introduce myself. I’m Liu Yuan Hao from the Black Dragon Sect.”
Liu Yuan Hao smiled warmly.
However, after the patriarch of the aristocratic family heard Liu Yuan Hao’s a.n.a.lysis, he became even more anxious.
“The Black Dragon sect is merely the lowest level sect in the martial world… Even the gangsters on the streets of the imperial capital dare to call themselves a sect.”
The patriarch of the aristocratic family said coldly.
“As expected of one of the three great aristocratic families of South County, which is on par with the Tang family…”
“You really have guts.”
Liu Yuanhao’s expression remained the same after being ridiculed. There was not much change in his expression.
However, there was a cold and indifferent expression in the depths of his eyes.
“Three uncles, make your move…”
“Remember, don’t kill anyone. Capture all of them alive.”
“After all, it’s still too bold to kill people and steal goods under the White Jade Capital.”
As he finished speaking.
The three people behind Liu Yuanhao quickly rushed out.
“Family head, leave quickly!”
The commander of the aristocratic family’s team roared angrily.
Spiritual energy burst out from his entire body as he collided with the Black Dragon Guard that rushed over. The bones on his body almost exploded as he spat out blood and flew backwards.
The Black Dragon Guard was also stopped by the huge force as the bamboo hat on his head exploded.
The black dragon scale embedded between his brows was revealed.
“Dragon Scale? ! Great Zhou’s Black Dragon Guard? !”
The head of this aristocratic family was shocked.
The Black Dragon Guard’s fame was once extremely famous. Many experts trembled when they heard of the Black Dragon Guard.
They didn’t expect that the black dragon cult actually had black dragon guards.
The Black Dragon Guard was at the peak of the Qi dan stage, and with the help of the Black Dragon Scale, this guard wasn’t a match.
Soon.
All the guards were heavily injured and were captured alive by the black dragon cult’s subordinates.
The family head was also captured.
Liu Yuanhao took the ‘Dao tear’that the Black Dragon Guard found. Looking at the colorful dao tear reflected in the sunlight, the corners of Liu Yuanhao’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up.
This Dao Tear… was the opportunity for him to rise up.
..
Although his actions of prostrating himself on the ground were very embarra.s.sing, he was at least certain of one thing.
Their spirit stones had not been wasted.
If this dao tablet did not have the Dao tear, they might not be able to approach it at all.
Young Master Tianxu was pressed to the ground, and his expression changed greatly. He could feel the increasingly powerful pressure in the air. If this pressure continued, it was very likely that his body would explode from the pressure.
This was because Young Master Tianxu was afraid.
He took out a tear and crushed it.
Kacha..
It was as if there was the sound of something shattering in the world.
Young Master Tianxu only felt the pressure on his body suddenly disappear.
He prostrated himself on the ground and climbed up. He let out a breath in fear.
After losing the pressure, he once again recovered his elegance and calmness.
He glanced at the distant dao tablet.
Heavenly Oasis Young Master slowly headed in that direction. He found a futon woven from weeds and sat down cross-legged.
Sitting upright on the futon, Heavenly Oasis Young Master’s impetuous heart immediately calmed down.
He raised his head and looked at the stone tablet. This stone tablet was pitch black and empty, as if it was formed naturally.
However, heavenly oasis young master only felt a sense of strangeness.
He sat cross-legged, and his gaze started to become empty. It was as if his entire mind was being guided into the stone tablet.
In the distance.
Du Longyang and the others saw heavenly oasis young master’s rare serious state. They looked at each other, and their eyes revealed some shock and solemnity.
It seemed that… there was indeed something about this stone tablet.
There was no hesitation.
Du Longyang, Ye Shoudao, and the Empress took out Dao tears and crushed them.
An invisible force pulled them in the direction of the Dao tablet.
Along the way, the pressure of the Dao tablet disappeared without a trace.
As they walked over, there was no pressure at all.
The Empress and Ye Shoudao sat on two futons beside Tian Xu.
Du Longyang sat on one of the six futons in the back row.
Although du Longyang felt regretful, there was nothing he could do. It was his fault for not being decisive enough to Pat down the ‘Dao Tears’?
At this moment, du Longyang gathered his thoughts.
“Young master Lu said that the key to breaking through to the infant transformation realm lies in… comprehending the dao intent of the sequence.”
“Mastering the Dao intent of the sequence is the key to being comparable to the living beings in the high martial world…”
Du Longyang’s expression was solemn as he began to think.
“Then… What is sequence dao intent?”
“And what Sequence Dao intent can I comprehend?”
Du Longyang raised his head and his gaze landed on the Dao tablet. Suddenly, a strange fluctuation surged out from the Dao tablet, absorbing his entire mind into it.
..
Ice-cold snow fluttered down from the sky.
Upon landing on du Longyang’s face, du Longyang was startled and opened his eyes.
An illusion?
Having cultivated to the infant transformation stage, ordinary illusions could not control him at all.
He could see through it with just a glance.
However, this time, du Longyang did not see through it.
He realized that his body had shrunk by a circle. His burly body had disappeared and was replaced by a thin and weak body.
Surrounded by the martial emperor city, the Snowy Martial Emperor City had a quiet and beautiful feeling.
Suddenly, someone ran over from afar.
“Little Du, quickly go to the training ground. Today is the day of the a.s.sessment!”
The person grabbed du Longyang’s hand and dragged him to the training ground.
Du Longyang was a little dazed. The training ground?
a.s.sessment?
When he looked closely, he realized that the scene before him was vaguely familiar.
Many familiar and tender scenes made his heart tremble.
Many familiar faces had withered away when he was growing up, and now, these faces had once again popped out from his memories.
The a.s.sessment began.
The familiar a.s.sessment items were a tradition in martial supreme city.
It was du Longyang’s turn. This time, du Longyang realized that he had actually failed the a.s.sessment. He had fought with a disciple, and the spear in his hand had been flicked away and smashed into the distance.
Du Longyang was a little dispirited.
That was because he remembered that this was the first time that he had wavered from practicing the spear.
The scene that followed continued to flow.
Du Longyang felt as if he had been reborn. Although he had been reborn, he was like a puppet. He could not change a single thing in his life.
After failing the a.s.sessment, du Longyang became an outer court disciple of Martial Emperor City. He held his spear and began to roam the world.
He had experienced a lot. Although the spear in his hand had fought side by side with him for a long time… du Longyang had never been confident that his spear would be very strong.
He had used the spear in his hand to kill demons in the demon region.
He had also returned to Martial Emperor City and used the spear in his hand to defeat his former opponent and become a purple-robed disciple of Martial Emperor City.
However, du Longyang still did not have confidence in his spear.
He kept on training and practicing his spear techniques. He wanted to make his spear techniques the strongest so that he would not lose confidence.
Finally, he became the number one spear king in the world.
His spear made his enemies tremble in fear.
However, du Longyang found that his spear techniques could not improve any further.
Under the Dao tablet, du Longyang was reborn and experienced the growth of his spear techniques once again.
His sense of the spear became more acute.
But..
Du Longyang also discovered his flaw, which was his lack of confidence.
This lack of confidence caused du Longyang to have no achievements in the spear path.
Even though he was known as the world’s first spear technique, he was still not confident.
Perhaps..
He had to fundamentally solve this problem.
Du Longyang closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, it was still that snowy grotto-heaven.
The familiar scene flashed once again.
In the Winter Martial Emperor City.
Someone held his hand and ran back to the training ground. Today was the day of the a.s.sessment.
Du Longyang’s expression was solemn.
He did not resist all of this.
However, this time, he chose to overcome the resistance in his heart.
It was snowing in the sky.
In this test, du Longyang used the spear in his hand as though he had broken his preordained fate and pierced his opponent with it.
For some reason, a ball of fire burned in du Longyang’s heart.
..
In the outside world.
As time pa.s.sed.
More and more people had arrived outside of Wolong Ridge.
The Overlord arrived alone. He looked at the new Wolong Ridge and took a deep breath. The nine gates of h.e.l.l caused the Overlord’s heart to tremble.
However, his gaze was quickly attracted by the Dao tablet.
He saw du Longyang and the other two sitting cross-legged under the Dao tablet.
The Xiang family Army rushed over to report. After the overlord listened carefully, he ordered the Xiang family army to guard this place.
Meanwhile, the Overlord was a little excited.
He had been stuck at the peak of body const.i.tution for a long time. In fact, the Overlord felt something. Under normal circ.u.mstances, he should have broken through long ago and broken through to the sky lock just like Nie Changqing.
He should have become a top-tier cultivator in the world.
But for some reason, Overlord realized that he hadn’t made any progress during this period of time.
It was as if the flowing water had been blocked.
He was so eager to be strong that he was depressed for a long time.
He took a step forward and stepped into the range of the first prison.
Although Overlord hadn’t broken through to body const.i.tution, his strength was actually not weak.
The pressure from the first prison gate was not that difficult for him.
As he continued to walk, when he reached the pressure area of the fifth prison gate.
The enormous pressure made it difficult for the overlord to even straighten his back.
Outside, many people could not help but click their tongues when they saw how difficult it was for the overlord to move forward.
The Overlord felt somewhat defeated. He did not expect that he could even pa.s.s through the pressure area of the fifth prison gate with such difficulty.
Not to mention getting close to the dao monument.
When the Overlord felt that he was about to be sent flying by the pressure.
He crushed a stream of tears.
In an instant, the pressure all over his body was stripped away.
The Overlord sat on the ground. His sweat soaked through his clothes as he panted heavily.
The Overlord stood up shakily.
He walked to du Longyang’s side and found a seat to sit cross-legged.
Outside Wolong Ridge.
Tang Xiansheng looked at Tang Yimo and patted his shoulder. “Go. This spot is for you.”
“If you’re strong, then south county will be strong.”
Tang Xiansheng said.
Tang Yimo’s eyes flickered. Then, he nodded slightly.
He strode towards the Dao Monument.
The eight meridians demonic technique circulated.
He had barely managed to hold on to the fifth gate, but he could not hold on any longer and broke into tears.
More and more people sat cross-legged on the futons in front of the Dao Monument.
..
On the lake of origin, on the island at the center of the lake.
The leisurely wind blew quietly. Lu fan leaned against the railing and sipped on the fine wine.
One figure after another flew over at high speed.
Nie changqing, Jing Yue, Ni Yu, Ning Zhao, and so on..
“Young master…”
Nie changqing and the others bowed to Lu fan.
Lu fan nodded slightly. He seemed to have guessed the reason why nie changqing and the others came to look for him.
“Are you all very curious as to why I didn’t give you the qualifications to comprehend the Dao Tablet?”
Lu fan asked.
Everyone, including Ni Yu, was extremely curious.
“The qualifications to comprehend the Dao tablet is to let the world understand the importance of spirit stones… of course, it’s not like there’s no other way to obtain the qualifications to comprehend the DAO Tablet.”
Lu fan took a sip of wine and said.
“The mystic realm that appeared in the Wolong Ridge this time is called the Nine h.e.l.ls Mystic Realm. The dao tablet is the key, but the nine h.e.l.ls Gate isn’t simple either.”
“You can obtain the qualification to comprehend the DAO tablet by breaking through the h.e.l.ls Gate.”
“If you can break through the ninth h.e.l.ls Gate, you’ll definitely obtain the qualification to comprehend the DAO tablet. Of course, with your current strength, it’s too difficult.”
“When you break through the other prison gates, if you’re lucky, you’ll have a high chance of triggering the opportunity to comprehend the Dao Tablet…”
“Although it’s slightly more difficult compared to directly auctioning off the opportunity to comprehend the Dao tablet, at least there’s still hope.”
Lu fan said slowly, “So, if you want to comprehend the Dao tablet, then go break through the ninth prison.”
The eyes of Nie Chang Qing and the others couldn’t help but light up slightly.
They could finally understand that this mystical realm ought to be a place of trial like the trial tower.
After Lu fan finished speaking, he didn’t explain anything.
He leaned on the thousand blade chair.
Suddenly.
His mind moved, and he couldn’t help but raise his head to look in the direction of the Crouching Dragon Ridge.
Just now.
The dao tablet at the center of his vortex soul flashed with a faint brilliance.
A strange feeling bloomed in Lu Fan’s mind like a lotus flower.
This made Lu fan stunned.
He couldn’t help but reveal a hint of interest.
“Who is it? He managed to comprehend the sequence dao intent so quickly?”
