Chapter 216 The First Martial God in Human History! (Two in One)
The entire Blue Star is a slaughterhouse where monsters are kept in captivity.
For Lin Chen, this is undoubtedly a huge subversion of his worldview.
The worldview that he had built up over the past decades seemed to collapse and subvert in an instant.
It was as if the whole world was trapped in an illusion...
Lin Chen glanced at Wang Lishan, and Wang Lishan also smiled bitterly and said:
"It's hard to believe, but I just found out about this..."
Old Lu glanced at him and said:
"In fact, Xiao Wang was not qualified to know about this. Only the strong above the Martial King, who entered the third martial realm, are qualified to know..."
"But..."
Old Lu glanced at Lin Chen and said nothing.
Obviously, the influence of cultivation on Daxia and even the entire human race is getting bigger and bigger.
So much so that Wang Lishan's status in the power circle of Daxia is getting higher and higher, and he is able to know such important matters.
Lin Chen thought about it and finally asked:
"So, if you want to break the barrier outside the blue planet... you can only drive away or kill the monsters?"
Before Lu Lao answered, Max said:
"If you don't kill the monsters... the barrier will not dissipate, there is no doubt about it!"
"Unless, a strong man who surpasses the God of War is really born among the human race!"
Lin Chen looked at Lu Lao, who sighed and said:
"Three hundred years ago, the ten strongest men of the human race united to break through the shackles of the first martial realm and touched the invisible barrier outside the blue planet."
"However, no news came back..."
"Those ten strongest men seemed to have completely evaporated. Even one of them was the strongest warrior in human history..."
"...A God of War!"
Hearing this, Lin Chen was shocked.
God of War!
The human race actually gave birth to a God of War!
A Martial Emperor like Lu Lao is already comparable to the peak of the God of Transformation.
It was an existence that Lin Chen could not figure out at all...
How strong would the God of War be?
And even such a powerful God of War... couldn't break through that barrier, and even no news was sent back?
Elder Lu looked at Lin Chen and sighed:
"I saw the shadow of that person in you."
"No, you are more amazing than he was back then, and even have stronger potential!"
"Perhaps, you can really lead the human race to break that barrier..."
"Then perhaps, you need to surpass the strength of the God of War."
After hearing this, Lin Chen remained silent.
He was still far away from the realm of the God of War.
Lin Chen, who had just entered the King of Martial Arts, did not have too many ideas.
He just wanted to survive well in the world of immortal cultivation and become stronger.
As for how strong he should become...
At this moment, Lin Chen seemed to have the answer in his heart.
...
Qingzhou, Didao City.
Lin Chen walked out of the small courtyard where he was staying temporarily and came to the market.
At this moment, the sky was just getting light, and there were few monks on the road.
Many monks walked out of the romantic place in groups of three or five, and returned to their residences drunkenly.
Occasionally, diligent monks got up early and set up stalls on the roadside.
"Daoyou, would you like two freshly baked lotus leaf cakes?"
At this time, a vendor pushed a cart and passed by Lin Chen.
Qi-refining monks are not yet qualified to practice fasting, so there are also many monks and vendors in the city who sell spiritual food for cultivation.
Lin Chen was about to refuse, but saw that the vendor directly wrapped two cakes and handed them to him.
While he was still stunned, the vendor pushed the cart away again.
He shouted all the way: "Freshly baked lotus leaf cakes, nourishing and delicious."
"Huh? I don't think I have paid yet!"
Lin Chen blinked and was about to catch up, but suddenly felt a hard object wrapped in the lotus leaf cake in his arms.
He took a quick glance and it was a jade slip.
Lin Chen's face changed slightly, and he returned to the small courtyard where he was staying temporarily.
After closing the door, Lin Chen took out the jade slip and observed it carefully.
There were some mysterious patterns engraved on the jade slip, which seemed familiar.
"Hmm... is it the message from Junior Sister Jiang?"
Lin Chen suddenly thought of something and took out the mother-and-child sound transmission jade.
The pattern on the sound transmission jade was similar to that on the sound recording jade slip.
Many cultivators used sound transmission jade slips, and engraved special patterns on the jade slips to facilitate identification.
"So, what message did Junior Sister Jiang leave behind?"
Lin Chen's heart moved, and his consciousness probed into the jade slip.
The next moment, Jiang Liqian's voice came.
"Brother Lin, it's been several years since we last met. How have you been?"
"I heard that you have left Changchun Gate and want to travel to Wendao City. You have escaped from the vortex of the devil, so I congratulate you again."
"I am currently staying in Tiandao City and want to go to Wendao City. If you come to Tiandao City this year, you can meet me and go to Wendao City together..."
"I am currently living in..."
Lin Chen listened to the contents of the voice-recorded jade slip.
After confirming that there was no secret code left in the jade slip, but just a simple greeting, Lin Chen held his forehead and thought.
"It has been several years since I last met Sister Jiang..."
"After leaving Changchun Gate, I think she was also traveling in Qingzhou... But this time she contacted me, maybe it was not just a simple greeting after not seeing each other for a long time."
"Otherwise, she would not have specially asked the cultivator to conceal the message..."
Lin Chen thought silently.
In the past twenty years of practice, Lin Chen owed Jiang Liqian a few big favors.
I have never had the opportunity to repay them...
Maybe this is the time to repay the favor.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen smiled bitterly.
"If you come out to fool around, you will have to pay back sooner or later!"
"If possible, of course I hope to practice till the end of time...but this is obviously not realistic."
Lin Chen shook his head.
Fortunately, after being promoted to Martial King in the martial arts realm, Lin Chen had a little more ability to protect himself.
Apart from anything else, at least in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, Lin Chen had few opponents.
"According to what the master said, we should be heading to Tiandao City within a month."
"When the time comes, I will be able to go with Junior Sister Jiang."
Lin Chen raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was already dawn and the sky was bright.
Lin Chen then returned to the room to practice Changchun Jue.
After entering the Nascent Soul stage, the growth rate of mana has slowed down a lot.
Even if Lin Chen had the spirit-swallowing root, if he wanted to reach the second level of Nascent Soul, he would still need to practice for two or three years.
…
One month later, he temporarily lived in a small courtyard.
It was just getting dark.
"Chen'er, are you awake? We are leaving the tunnel city today!"
Outside the house, Han Jihai's shout came.
Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes. He had just returned from the world of high martial arts.
"Coming!"
He responded, opened the door and saw Han Jihai and three others in the small courtyard.
Looking around, Lin Chen felt a little emotional.
Within just a few months after arriving in the tunnel city, Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan had gained a lot of weight.
Especially Zhou Tieshan's face looked increasingly rounded.
For the two people who had not left the vicinity of Yan Lai for more than ten years or even decades, they had seen the world in this tunnel city.
Over the past few months, Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan have become good friends.
I ate and drank every day and tasted all the delicacies in the city.
I guess there is a lot of prostitution and gambling...
"Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Zhou... I heard Miss Chun'er from Fengya Building say that you haven't been home for a week?" Lin Chen asked aloud.
After hearing this, Li Zhenqian looked disapproving and said:
"Senior Brother Lin, if you practice hard every day and don't leave this small courtyard... I'm afraid it will be bad for your mental state!"
"We should go to more elegant places to cultivate our sentiments... Only in this way can our cultivation be stable!"
After hearing this, Lin Chen looked at him lightly and said:
"Oh, I'm not far from the late stage of Jindan... I should be able to break through within half a year."
Li Zhenqian's eyes widened when he heard this, he was shocked and lost his mind...
"Damn it, I can't be so depraved after I go to Tiandao City! The gap between me and him is getting bigger and bigger..." Li Zhenqian's eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
Lin Chen felt a little proud when he saw this. It seemed that Li Zhenqian was going to work hard for a while.
Looking up at Zhou Tieshan again, he avoided looking directly at Lin Chen.
"Senior Brother Lin..."
In Zhou Tieshan's heart, Lin Chen was a person more worthy of admiration than his master Han Jihai.
Seeing Zhou Tieshan's anxious and worried expression, Lin Chen sighed helplessly.
"Hey, it won't be good for you to hang out with Li Zhenqian."
"I understand, senior brother!" Zhou Tieshan nodded repeatedly, feeling a little relieved.
Zhou Tieshan came to Changchun Gate at an early age and never left for more than ten years.
I am used to living a boring life, and this is my first time in this prosperous fairy city.
In addition, Zhou Tieshan had obtained a large sum of spiritual stones before, so it would be impossible not to be mesmerized by the prosperity of this fairy city.
Lin Chen understood this, but it was better to avoid such things.
"Ahem."
At this time, Han Jihai cleared his throat, acted like an elder, and coughed:
"Chen'er! Both of your junior brothers know that they are wrong. They will definitely supervise you more in the future."
After hearing this, Lin Chen looked at Han Jihai with a somewhat resentful look.
"Master, you still have the nerve to say..."
Before, Lin Chen asked his master to find his two junior brothers.
Fortunately, Han Jihai was not found.
Instead, he got close to the proprietress of Fengya Building...
The proprietress of Fengya Building is a perfect monk.
Although he is over fifty years old, the monks age slowly, take good care of themselves, and practice charming skills.
That was enough to make Han Jihai fascinated.
As a result, the incident happened.
The boss of Fengya Building was a fake alchemy monk. After learning that he had been tricked, he came over angrily.
If Han Jihai hadn't been intimidated by his golden elixir cultivation, he would probably have had to fight to the death.
"Ahem, it's getting late, let's set off quickly!"
Han Jihai saw something in Lin Chen's eyes, his old face turned red and he said quickly.
"well……"
Lin Chen sighed and shook his head without worrying too much.
After all, he is his master and must give him face no matter what.
So, the group of people left the underground city early and rushed towards the Tiandao City.
As we get closer to the hinterland of Qingzhou, the public security is getting better and better.
During the 30,000-mile journey from the Underground City to the Tiandao City, the four of them did not encounter even a group of robbery cultivators.
The journey was smooth and smooth, which was in sharp contrast to when we first left Changchun Gate.
…
Seven days later, Tiandao City.
The four of them successfully entered the city and applied for temporary residence permits.
First they found an inn to stay, and the next day a few people rented a small courtyard.
According to Lin Chen's plan, he would stay in Tiandao City for at least half a year.
Renting a small courtyard to stay temporarily is cheaper, and of course more importantly, it is much more convenient.
After everything was settled, Lin Chen came to the disciple mentioned in the jade slip.
This is a large second-entry house.
The location is a bit remote, but the best thing is that few people come to disturb it.
Lin Chen knocked on the door of the mansion and walked in when he saw that the door was unlocked.
Upon entering the mansion, there is a large courtyard.
There are several old osmanthus trees planted in the courtyard, and a few spirit fish are raised in a small pond.
Under the osmanthus tree, a beautiful figure is sitting on a stone bench, playing Go.
It is Jiang Liqian!
Jiang Liqian is wearing a blue and white dress, and her black hair falls naturally.
Sometimes she frowns in thought, and sometimes she relaxes.
"Junior Sister Jiang."
Lin Chen feels strange and calls out.
Jiang Liqian looks up and notices Lin Chen, and says in surprise:
"Senior Brother Lin, you are here?"
Lin Chen walks a few steps to the osmanthus tree, and suddenly notices the figure of an old man under the tree.
The old man is dressed simply, with wrinkles all over his face, and he wears a hood that covers half of his face in the shadow.
The aura around him is not obvious, as if he has merged with the air.
Lin Chen did not notice it when he first saw him.
"Senior Brother, this is Old Yang, my protector."
Jiang Liqian's eyes flickered and explained.
"Mr. Yang, Senior Brother Lin and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Can we be alone for a while?" Jiang Liqian asked politely in a low voice.
"Yes." Mr. Yang nodded, paused and left the courtyard.
Lin Chen blinked and smiled:
"Junior Sister Jiang is indeed very well-known... Mr. Yang's cultivation is really unfathomable..."
Jiang Liqian did not answer directly after hearing this, but took a golden cake from the stone table and handed it to Lin Chen.
"Brother, please try it first. This osmanthus cake is made by Junior Sister herself. It should taste pretty good..."
Lin Chen took the osmanthus cake, tasted it lightly, and praised:
"Junior Sister is really skillful. This osmanthus cake is sweet and delicious."
"If you like it, you can take two more boxes back. The osmanthus cakes made last year have not been eaten up. This year's osmanthus will bloom again in a few months..." Jiang Liqian said with a sweet smile.
Lin Chen looked up at the osmanthus tree after hearing this. In a few months, it would indeed be the season when osmanthus flowers would bloom.
At this time, Jiang Liqian put away the chess pieces on the stone table one by one and asked:
"Brother, do you know how to play chess?"
Lin Chen looked at the black and white chess pieces in front of him and thought of the game he played with the weird old man in the city of Taoism a few years ago.
He nodded slightly and said:
"Well, I know a little bit."
Jiang Liqian's eyes lit up after hearing this and praised:
"Very good, then would you like to play chess with me?"
Lin Chen thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Go games require three calculations in one step, which is an elegant thing that many cultivators love.
There are even records of people who entered the Tao through chess in the immortal cultivation stories, which adds a bit of mystery to Go.
Especially since cultivators have a long life span, each game of Go is very different, which is very suitable for activities between cultivators.
Lin Chen is not a Go genius, but he played Go with the weird old man for several years before.
She is also proficient in chess.
Therefore, when playing chess with Jiang Liqian, Lin Chen did not use the artificial intelligence algorithm.
About an hour later, Jiang Liqian frowned slightly as she looked at the white pieces that were already in a deadlock.
"Brother, can you let me go first?"
Lin Chen nodded, and then waved his hand to restore the chessboard.
Then he handed the black pieces to Jiang Liqian.
The game started again.
They played for several hours in a row until it got dark.
Jiang Liqian looked at Lin Chen, with a little more resentment in her eyes.
"Brother, you are obviously very good at hand talk, and this is at least the level of a hand talk master... Why did you deceive me?"
In the afternoon, they played five or six games.
Jiang Liqian did not win a single game.
There is a big gap between their Go skills.
Lin Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this. He really didn't know that his Go skills were quite good.
After all, before this, he had only played with that weird old man.
However, Jiang Liqian's chess skills made Lin Chen feel like a beginner.
Not to mention that she was better than that weird old man, she was not even one-tenth of Lin Chen's.
Lin Chen thought for a while and said:
"Actually, I'm not very good at playing chess, and I don't know any layout... I just play a lot, and I can calculate a few more steps."
Jiang Liqian's eyes became more resentful when he heard this.
After a while, Jiang Liqian took out a box of osmanthus cakes.
"Brother, it's getting late... I'll visit you again tomorrow."
"If you have time later, can you come and play chess with me?"
Lin Chen nodded and asked:
"When do you plan to leave Tiandao City?"
Jiang Liqian thought for a while and said:
"Wait until the osmanthus flowers fall and make some new osmanthus cakes before leaving."
Lin Chen nodded and said:
"Okay, we probably leave at that time. Let's go together then?"
Jiang Liqian smiled and agreed.
...
After Lin Chen left for a long time, Jiang Liqian was still looking at the chess game in a daze.
At this time, Elder Yang appeared behind Jiang Liqian.
"Young Master, that Lin Chen...hid his cultivation."
Jiang Liqian nodded after hearing this, not surprised by this.
"Elder Yang, what do you think Senior Brother Lin's real cultivation is now?"
Elder Yang thought about it and said:
"I can't see through his specific cultivation..."
"But I think it's at least the eighth or even ninth turn of the golden elixir...and his spiritual awareness is very strong, otherwise he wouldn't be able to find me."
Jiang Liqian smiled after hearing this and said:
"Oh? Then what do you think... Senior Brother Lin is like?"
Elder Yang fell into deep thought after hearing this.
He has always been with Jiang Liqian, and he noticed Lin Chen when Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian first met 20 years ago.
But they only met briefly a few times, and he didn't investigate Lin Chen in detail.
At that time, Lin Chen was just a small Qi Refining cultivator.
His cultivation speed has not been amazing.
But it is very smooth and stable...
Until the last few years, even Elder Yang could not see through Lin Chen.
After a long silence, Elder Yang whispered:
"If this boy does not die, he will have a place in Qingzhou in the future..."
Jiang Liqian smiled and said:
"It's not that simple... In my opinion, Senior Brother Lin is like a hidden dragon in the abyss. As long as he gets lucky one day, he will definitely rise to the sky."
"Perhaps, Senior Brother Lin will be the one who decides the fate of Qingzhou in the future."
After hearing this, Elder Yang was a little surprised. He was optimistic about Lin Chen.
But he didn't expect Jiang Liqian's evaluation of Lin Chen to be so high.
Deciding the fate of Qingzhou... This is something that even the True Lord of Transformation can't do!
"Haha, the young master really thinks highly of Lin Chen." Elder Yang reserved his opinion on this.
Jiang Liqian looked at the trend of the chess on the stone table and was determined in her heart.
She knew Lin Chen's spiritual root qualifications very well.
Soul Devouring Spiritual Root!
But even the third stage of Soul Devouring Spiritual Root may not be able to create Lin Chen's current cultivation.
Therefore, in Jiang Liqian's opinion, Lin Chen must be hiding a bigger secret.
"Perhaps, it is a reincarnation of a True Lord?"
Jiang Liqian thought silently in his heart.
"Mr. Yang, I plan to take Lin Chen to that place..."
