Chapter 198 Where is my fucking authority? !
what happened?
Chen Sheng frowned.
Looking at the panel in front of him, he felt something was getting more and more wrong.
In the past, upgrading skills only took a few seconds at most.
But now, he has been waiting for two minutes.
The upgrade has yet to come.
Look at the words flashing on the continuous panel.
Chen Sheng suddenly remembered that he was recognized as Xuanwu by the sheep-faced man in the sealed land.
At that time, he once asked the other party why he was so sure that he was not a fake.
And the other party's answer was.
The breathing method of mythical beasts can give people power.
It seems that the same kind of authority can only be controlled by one person.
Chen Sheng was not sure whether what the other party said was true.
After all, even the sheep-faced man himself said that his understanding of the Four Saints came from some old people in the Holy Religion and was not accurate.
therefore,
Chen Sheng didn't take it seriously either.
But now the strange appearance on the panel immediately made him a little uncertain.
Is what the sheep-faced man said true?
The thought of this.
His brows suddenly frowned deeply.
That's what it says.
The Holy Sect's Xuanwu had probably broken through to the fifth level of Xuanming Zhenwu ahead of him and gained authority.
If he wanted to gain authority, wouldn't he have to kill Xuanwu of the Holy Cult first?
But I don’t even know where the other person is.
While Chen Sheng was thinking.
Sudden.
He noticed that the flashing of words on the panel had stopped.
[Xuanming Zhenwu lvMax]
[Skill points: 11]
Um?
Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows.
Is this upgrade completed?
Before he could react.
boom! !
Chen Sheng felt as if something was exploding in his brain.
The next second.
His consciousness fell completely into darkness.
Plop.
Loss of strength.
His body suddenly fell to the river bank.
——
China.
An underground cave somewhere.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
The sound of water droplets hitting the ground continued to sound.
Xuanwu, wearing a large black robe, sat quietly on the ground.
in front of him.
One body after another lies on the ground, lifeless.
His body surface is engraved with azure textures that are constantly flowing like liquid.
The texture emits a deep blue light.
Along with Xuanwu's breathing rhythm, the light is sometimes dazzling and sometimes weak.
"Ah."
"You really made it happen."
Not far from Xuanwu.
A figure also wearing a black robe stood.
Under the hood,
A pair of orange vertical pupils fell on Xuanwu.
The owner of the vertical pupil was astonished.
The Xuanming Zhenwu practiced by Xuanwu is the breathing method of divine beasts.
This kind of divine beast breathing method is in addition to the usual need to use breathing methods to polish the body and improve the realm.
It also takes a lot of time to cultivate the power of authority.
The power of authority is the power of the rules of heaven and earth.
The shares that can be artificially held are limited, with a maximum of 50%.
That is half of the world and half of the people.
And at the same time, there can only be one person holding authority.
Even if this person holds only one percent authority.
In this world, he can only be the master of this power of heaven and earth.
No matter how hard the rest of them practice, they can only reach the peak of affinity.
For these people, the water spirit is only a good friend.
Once it meets the owner of the power of authority, the water spirit will completely abandon the other person and turn to the embrace of the owner of authority.
but.
For top-notch divine beast breathing techniques such as Xuanming Zhenwu, the process of obtaining the power of water is not an overnight process.
Controlling the authority of water requires cultivators to gradually increase their affinity with the water spirit during the long process of practice in the first four levels.
This process is called gestation.
The practitioner's body will gradually change in a direction suitable for possessing the power of authority.
The water spirit will continue to enter the body of the practitioner, turning into power and hiding in his body, waiting for the day when authority is born.
Then at the fifth level of Xuanming Zhenwu, the key was conceived and used to open the door to the power of heaven and earth.
And how much authority can you get when you open the door for the first time.
It depends on how many rudiments of authority the cultivator has in his body when he breaks through the fifth level, and how close he is to the water spirit.
This process is difficult to speed up.
Some people practice quickly, but their affinity with the water spirit is low.
Some people practice slowly, but their talents in this area are extremely high.
Such as the other three saints of the Holy Religion.
They are all unique geniuses, people who can practice even when the high tide has not yet arrived.
They have a lot of time to cultivate their affinity with Qi, and after completing the breathing method of the divine beast, they slowly increase the power of authority to the limit that they can control.
Among the Four Saints, the one with the largest share of power now is Qinglong.
Suzaku and White Tiger are the next best.
As for Xuanwu.
It was not until two years before the high tide that he joined the Holy Cult and was given the Xuan Ming True Martial Arts.
Even though he was extremely talented, one year after joining the Holy Cult, he had already cultivated Xuanming Zhenwu to the fourth level.
But the increase in the share of power of authority cannot be obtained through practice.
Ever since.
Xuanwu then found another way.
He deliberately delayed the practice of Xuanming Zhenwu, spread this breathing method, and gave it to some talents with excellent martial arts talents through various channels.
Stay until today.
Most of these people have developed considerable affinity with water spirits.
Xuanwu has to do.
Just before breaking through the fifth level.
Seize the power of authority that is still gestating in their bodies and has not yet been born, and make another breakthrough.
to be honest.
Baihu came today to see Xuanwu's jokes.
The other party advanced to Xuanming Zhenwu and gained power.
Regarding this so-called "crooked way"
Even the people in the Holy Religion are not good people.
The other three saints are unwilling to try and don't want to try.
but now.
Bai Hu looked at Xuanwu not far away.
The other party was filled with strong power of authority.
At least more than 25 percent.
Although it's a little worse than him.
However, Baihu has spent nearly ten years since he started practicing, which is several times as much as Xuanwu.
If the other party is not strong enough, it would be better to kill him with a piece of tofu.
only
Deep in Bai Hu's eyes, a hint of undetectable jealousy flashed.
It took years of hard work to finally possess such a powerful force.
Xuanwu relied on crooked ways to achieve this in such a short period of time.
"Is this the power of authority?"
At this moment, Xuanwu, who finally achieved a breakthrough, opened his eyes.
His eyes were azure.
It was as if there was an ocean surging inside my body.
Crash.
Even in a cave nearly hundreds of meters deep underground, the sound of seawater tides still echoed in Xuanwu's ears.
He knew that this was not an illusion.
After mastering the power of authority, he seemed to be able to sense the distant sea calling to him even though he was thousands of miles away.
Xuanwu frowned slightly.
The dry environment in the underground cave made him feel a little uncomfortable.
I saw his eyes move.
The water that rushed everywhere in the air began to gather towards the cave where Xuanwu was.
Humidity levels are rising.
Xuanwu took a deep breath and felt a lot more relaxed.
He slowly turned his head to look at the white tiger not far away.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
In the past, when he saw the other party, he always felt a little frightened.
It is a spontaneous performance when facing a strong person when the strength is insufficient.
But now the surging power of authority in his body made him feel as if he was in control of everything in the world.
Even included.
All the water in the white tiger's body.
It seems that with just a thought, he can pull it out instantly and turn it into a mummy.
"I advise you to be careful."
Maybe he saw Xuanwu's thoughts.
Bai Hu's cold voice came next.
There is a faint murderous intent in it.
"Sometimes, some messy thoughts can kill people."
In a dark cave.
White Tiger's vertical pupils bloomed with sharp light.
Uh-huh!
His eyes stung, causing Xuanwu to close his eyes subconsciously.
The White Tiger breathing method practiced by Bai Hu can master the breathing of gold.
Gold symbolizes metal.
It also symbolizes sharpness.
Its attacks are even more powerful.
Just a look.
Xuanwu felt as if his eyeballs were being stabbed with countless fine needles.
For a while.
The arrogance that originally filled Xuanwu's heart was instantly dispersed.
He knew that even though his strength was greatly increased now.
But facing a strong veteran like Bai Hu.
There is still some distance to go.
"Feel sorry."
Put away the complacency in your heart.
Xuanwu bowed his head slightly to Baihu to express his apology.
White Tiger was noncommittal about this.
"If you make a breakthrough, go and meet the leader. He has a task to assign to you."
Bai Hu's face was dull, with no expression visible.
It seemed that he didn't take Xuanwu's offense to heart.
After just saying a few words, he turned around and walked out of the cave.
Xuanwu then remembered that the leader had asked him to break through as soon as possible, as if he had something to do.
If facing the other three saints, Xuanwu still has a hint of competition.
Then facing the leader of the Holy Religion, his only thought is to surrender and exert his power as much as possible.
Let the other person pay attention to you.
Ever since.
Xuanwu ignored the corpses piled up in a circle around him, got up and walked out of the cave.
These former sect geniuses have now become the stepping stones for his great success.
It has no use anymore, just clean it up as garbage.
However.
tread.
Xuanwu just took a step.
His eyes suddenly widened.
The burly body also froze.
"Bai-ho ho ho!"
He opened his mouth as if he was planning to call out to the white tiger who was about to come out of the cave.
But as soon as the words came out.
All that was left was the sound of wind leaking from his throat.
Plop.
Not knowing what happened, Xuanwu suddenly fell to the ground, his body twitching continuously.
The azure blue light engraved on the surface of his skin, flowing like water, was getting weaker and weaker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the azure blue in Qi's eyes faded.
"No, it's impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Xuanwu shook his head repeatedly, with a look of horror on his face and an exclamation in his mouth.
It seemed that he had seen something extremely terrifying.
Um?
Such movement naturally attracted Bai Hu's attention.
He stopped, turned around, and looked at Xuanwu with a frown, thinking that the other party was up to something.
But at this glance, Bai Hu immediately realized something was wrong.
The power of authority in Xuanwu was actually losing.
"My power! My power!"
"Someone is taking my power!!"
Roars full of anger, unwillingness and horror echoed back and forth in the cave.
——
Wow——
Wow——
"Ouch, holy shit."
In the boundless darkness, Chen Sheng's consciousness gradually recovered.
A wave of severe pain swept through his mind.
My brain felt even heavier, as if what was connected to my neck was not my head, but a huge stone as heavy as a ton of stone.
My ears were filled with the sound of crashing waves.
Where are you?
A trace of doubt arose in Chen Sheng's heart.
But soon as his consciousness gradually awakened, he already had the answer in his heart before he opened his eyes.
Haven't been here for a while though.
But this novel experience is hard to forget.
snort!
While Chen Sheng was thinking this, he heard a cry from above his head.
Immediately afterwards,
A strong wind pressure instantly hit from above.
The sound of the waves around me became more and more impatient.
Chen Sheng supported his body with his arms.
He slowly opened his eyes.
What caught his eye was Xuanwu's eyes with an impatient expression.
He seemed to be asking why Chen Sheng took so long to wake up.
Since breaking through the second level of Xuanming Zhenwu, Chen Sheng has not been here for a long time.
now.
When Xuanming Zhenwu reached perfection, he finally arrived again.
"So, what are you going to do this time?"
Chen Sheng shook his head, his consciousness gradually clearing up, and the memories of the previous two times also emerged from his mind.
At that time, he always felt that this illusion was caused by Xuanwu's idleness.
otherwise,
Why do you drag yourself in when you break through, and then swallow yourself whole?
Hear the words.
Xuanwu was just like last time.
There was extremely obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Ignorant child."
"No sense of awe."
This time.
The old voice sounded directly in Chen Sheng's ears.
This is
Chen Sheng suddenly looked up with surprise on his face.
Xuanwu's voice?
"Can you talk?"
Faced with Chen Sheng's question, Xuanwu obviously had no intention of answering.
He looked up to the sky.
A trace of nostalgia flashed in those blue pupils.
Chen Sheng followed Xuanwu's gaze.
"Wow."
"It's so fucking blue."
Chen Sheng couldn't see anything.
But if you want to control the power of water, you may need to get the other party's approval.
It's always right to flatter someone.
Unfortunately,
Xuanwu seemed too lazy to talk.
"Is the heavenly being going to wake up again?"
The old voice murmured.
Chen Sheng suddenly remembered the mural he saw when he obtained Xuanming Zhenwu.
In the mural.
Xuanwu and humans in ancient times fought against the heavenly beings in the sky and successfully sealed them.
The other party should know the gods very well.
All the time.
Although Chen Sheng often hears the word heaven and being.
But so far.
His understanding of heavenly beings was limited to the murals he had seen in the Sealed Land.
And what Shen Ziming once said about the characteristics of heaven and man.
Gods will never die.
And has great malice towards mankind.
"Xuanwu, what exactly is a heavenly being?"
The other party didn't speak for a long time.
Chen Sheng felt that it would be better for him to take the initiative.
"God."
The moment I heard these two words.
Xuanwu's eyes changed.
Rumble——
Perhaps he felt the change in Xuanwu's state of mind.
The surrounding light was quickly swallowed up by darkness.
Chen Sheng looked up.
The originally blue sky was quickly covered by dark clouds, and thick thunder dragons flew up and down.
The seawater roared and rolled up huge waves that seemed to swallow up the entire world.
"The gods are just a bunch of thieves."
Xuanwu muttered.
Although there was no ups and downs in the tone.
But Chen Sheng could clearly feel the anger mixed in his words.
thief?
Why do you say that?
What did the gods steal?
"The heavenly being is——"
"okay."
Chen Sheng wanted to continue asking.
But was directly interrupted by Xuanwu.
"Knowing too much about them will only get you noticed sooner."
"Just because they are sealed doesn't mean they have no consciousness."
Saying,
Rumble——
The huge head lowered again.
Two huge pupils fell on Chen Sheng.
The solemn look in his eyes couldn't help but make Chen Sheng's heart tremble.
"You don't have much time left."
"Hurry up."
"As for now."
"are you ready?"
Prepare?
Chen Sheng was stunned.
Before he could figure out what preparation Xuanwu was talking about.
call out! !
A sharp sound broke through the air, coming from above.
Chen Sheng suddenly raised his head.
I saw meteorites suddenly breaking through the dark clouds and falling towards the sea.
comes with it.
There was also an unknown roar from someone.
"who is it?!!"
"Who stole my power!!"
"I will definitely find you!"
"Kill you!!!!!"
The next second.
Wow——
Xuanwu in front of him opened his turtle head for the first time.
The dark mouth completely blocked Chen Sheng's sight.
The next second.
The mouth suddenly closed.
Chen Sheng's figure, together with the surrounding sea water, was swallowed by Xuanwu.
——
black.
Endless darkness.
After being bitten by Xuanwu, the imagined pain and sobriety did not come.
Chen Sheng could no longer remember how long he had been floating in this boundless darkness.
The eyes cannot see and the ears cannot hear.
In this dark space, Chen Sheng's powerful sensory abilities were completely useless.
He could only vaguely feel that his body seemed to be rising.
Until a light spot appeared at the end of the line of sight and continued to expand.
A circle of light appeared in front of Chen Sheng's eyes.
Behind the aperture, there is also darkness.
But he could vaguely notice that the aperture seemed to lead to this other world.
where is that?
Drowsily, a trace of doubt arose in Chen Sheng's mind.
The next second.
His body was completely submerged into the circle of light.
Crash--
My eyes suddenly opened up.
After staying in the darkness for too long, his vision was suddenly occupied by light, making Chen Sheng subconsciously want to raise his arms to block it.
However.
When the black and stubby feet appeared in front of me.
Chen Sheng was stunned.
Is this your own foot?
He tried to control it.
as expected.
The soles of his feet immediately acted accordingly.
Chen Sheng stretched out his head and looked around.
now.
He stood on the sea.
only,
He is no longer human.
Instead, enter Xuanwu's body.
The bastard is actually me?
"If you dare to call me bastard again, get out."
At this time.
Xuanwu's voice sounded again in Chen Sheng's heart.
"Feel good."
"This is the power of authority."
As Xuanwu's words fell.
Chen Sheng suddenly felt a strange force emerging from his limbs.
This power seemed familiar, yet a little strange.
It is similar to the authority he gained when he broke through the Breath of Thunder, but it is significantly more powerful and has a different nature.
When this power filled Chen Sheng's body.
He looked at the sea surface of Zhou Dynasty and suddenly had a different experience.
Before he practiced Xuanming Zhenwu.
The sea is just the sea.
Endless as far as the eye can see, bottomless.
It's Chen Sheng, a force of nature that I would feel terrified of.
After he practiced Xuanming Zhenwu.
The sea has a touch of intimacy.
The sea water that is enough to submerge the land seems to have become his friend and a harbor enough for him to live in.
Until now.
Facing this endless sea again.
The feeling that emerged in Chen Sheng's heart was obviously different.
The sea water seemed to have become a part of his body.
He seems to have become the king of the ocean.
As long as he has a thought.
As long as he gives the order.
That’s it.
Think of this.
Chen Sheng's eyes moved.
Rumble.
It's like mountains and rivers rolling back.
The ocean on all sides suddenly picked up huge waves hundreds of meters high. Roaring continued around Chen Sheng's body.
Dark clouds continued to gather in the sky.
Crash--
The sky and the earth change color.
In just the blink of an eye, there was a downpour, turning into a rain curtain and covering the entire world.
This,
It was just the result of Chen Sheng's thought.
He had never experienced such a novel power.
All of a sudden.
Chen Sheng took great pleasure in using the power of water to continuously test various abilities.
I don’t know how much time passed.
"Time is up."
It wasn't until Xuanwu's voice sounded again that Chen Sheng was brought back from his excitement.
"I've seen the world today."
"There seems to be no place for strange beasts in this world."
"Facing heavenly beings, the only one you can rely on is yourself."
"I hope that one day in the future, I will be able to see a new human world."
The words just fell.
Chen Sheng felt that he had lost control of Xuanwu's body.
"Goodbye, hope to see you again."
When the final voice came.
Chen Sheng's vision became blurry again and eventually fell into darkness.
——
river bank.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Chen Sheng lay quietly on the ground.
The white tiger circled around him, moving its head against Chen Sheng's body, and whimpered from time to time in its mouth that was still biting the stone.
He was wet and looked very weak.
Even the sound became weaker as time went by.
Not far away from one person and one tiger.
The water in that river, which stretched for several kilometers, has long since disappeared.
Instead, it turned into a water curtain, with Chen Sheng as the center, covering all the ground within a few hundred meters, as if to protect Chen Sheng.
The white tiger had to waste all his strength before he swam through the bitingly cold current with extremely high resistance and came to Chen Sheng's side.
He doesn't understand what breakthrough is.
I thought Chen Sheng was in danger, so I could only keep circling around him anxiously.
But the surrounding water flow has already cut off the outside air.
White tigers have strong bodies, but they also need oxygen.
The long period of hypoxic environment has made his consciousness increasingly blurred.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
With its strength gradually exhausted, it could only lie down next to Chen Sheng, licking his clothes again and again.
until
"call--"
Accompanied by the sound of exhalation.
Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes.
