Cataclysm King

Chapter 225 Legendary Demigod
"The secret method of "Gluttony" is the exclusive secret method of the [Ace of Clubs-Fighter] sequence.To truly master the secret method of gluttony, you must first understand what 'qi' is and how to control it."

"Please advise seniors."

"You've gone astray. Forget about those fancy skills first, and concentrate on understanding the mysteries of Qigong. In front of a real master, no matter how many skills you have, it's meaningless. Just like building a tall building, you must first cultivate Qi, then you will have A good foundation. Rather than just having some fancy-looking ground-level building that collapses at first touch.”

"Yes, senior."

"The best thing about magic and mystery is that you can understand it yourself, that is the most suitable. It is a pity that the original copper plate of "Gluttony" has been lost.What I can convey is only the part I understand.”

"."

In the dark mine, two figures sat on the ground.

While other people in Shangbang Prison were still nibbling hard bread, Ji Xun and the skinny old man were already able to eat all kinds of delicacies.

Ji Xun originally thought that the follow-up to the "Gluttony" breathing method was just some formulas, but after listening to it, he realized that he was wrong.

52 The practice of magic and mystery is not that simple.

The further you get to the back, the more mysterious it becomes, and the more profound it needs to be understood.

The previous formulas are just an introduction.

Ji Xun was also glad that he found this senior in person.

Otherwise, even if those formulas are placed in front of him, it will be extremely difficult for him to practice them, and he may even take detours in practice.
After all, the power of the devil is involved in all magical mysteries.

Without an understanding of this sequence of demons, it would be difficult to truly understand the mysteries of those formulas.

After Ji Xun got the approval of this mysterious senior, he didn't feel so angry anymore.

Not only can we drink together, but we can also eat hot pot and chat.

The old man doesn't have the airs of a peerless master. When he's not showing off his extraordinary abilities, Chun Chun is just an ordinary old man.

Just waking up from deep meditation, like a bear waking up after hibernation, the old man also needs to replenish energy.

The two of them were eating hot food and talking at the same time.

“Let’s start with the basics.”

The old man put a mouthful of well-stewed rhinoceros meat into his mouth and took another sip of wine. "Now that you are getting started with [Youshenzhang], you should know the concept of 'qi control'. You must first master the skills of controlling qi, and then Learn other things. Don’t try to figure out those fancy martial arts moves on the rock wall. If you haven’t reached the realm yet, you can’t even understand it. Even if you understand it a little, you will 100% practice it like those deformed lunatics.”

"Ok!"

Ji Xun listened very carefully and nodded frequently.

If he hadn't met this person, his original plan would have been to take away those slates and then study them bit by bit on his own.

Now that I hear it, I understand that I almost went the wrong way.

He had actually noticed that he was in a very strange state during the battle.

It seems that no matter how many martial arts you learn, you can't get much improvement in combat power.

Just like when he knew the secret skill [Two Extremes Collapse], he could kill enemies of the same level with one punch. Later, after he learned other secret martial arts skills such as [Tiger Cannon Fist], he could only do this. degree;
So much so that he felt that even if he learned a hundred more secrets, he still wouldn't be able to break through this predicament.

With only two fists, he could only throw out one or two punches at the same time. No matter how many mystical martial arts skills he had, they would really look flashy.

There is quantity, but no qualitative improvement.

But I don’t know how to break the situation.

You can only explore blindly on your own.

And now, I met this person.

This is the advantage of having a real expert to guide him, which allows him to avoid too many detours and mistakes.

The advantage of having someone to teach you is that it is not only “teaching through words” but also “teaching by example”.

After the old man pointed, he put down the wine bottle with his left hand, then stretched out a finger and demonstrated: "It's like this. You learn to change the 'Qi' into a shape. Spiral Qi is the most difficult, you first You can try 'column' or 'blade', step by step."

As he spoke, a magical scene took place.

A cyclone condensed visibly on the old man's fingers, and then spun like a miniature tornado.

Not only does it not fall apart, it can also change the size and shape of the tornado at will.

"what"

Ji Xun's eyes lit up.

This was also the first time he had seen such a sophisticated method of controlling energy.

Being so close, I could even clearly feel the wind blowing on my face.

This small tornado doesn't look very powerful, but only high-level qigong masters can understand how difficult this little show off technique is!
So strong.
While marveling, Ji Xun watched with concentration, already immersed in that state of enlightenment.

His understanding is very high now, and he has a certain understanding of "qi".

When I saw this cyclone and tornado, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind, as if something was faintly touching it.

That's what epiphany is.

Like a sky filled with thunderclouds, a thunder suddenly flashed across.

But it disappeared in an instant.

He remained in that state for a long time.

The old man demonstrated, and looked at Ji Xun's immersed state with admiration. He also warned: "This is a skill that takes a lot of time to ponder. But it is worth it. As long as the foundation is solid, the follow-up will be successful." You will get twice the result with half the effort when you learn any spell and martial arts. It took me all my time to master the secret technique of 'qi control' when I was young."

It took "nearly a year" to finish that sentence.

Ji Xun didn't care about anything else at all, fearing that the vague realization in his heart that he was about to grasp would slip away, he quickly asked: "Senior, can you please demonstrate it again?"

"Oh?"

The old man smiled. Since he was teaching with peace of mind, he would naturally demonstrate it again.

When he stretched out his fingers, it was more difficult this time. Five small tornadoes appeared on the five fingers.

Since you want to see it, then look carefully!
Using Qi to transform into whirlpools, this is the top qigong technique available to you at this level.

How many card masters have never been able to reach the threshold of high-level mysteries in their entire lives.

Gong Wu also understood Ji Xun's current state, just like when he saw his teacher demonstrate this move for the first time.Seeing the ultimate control of that kind of qigong master, I was shocked for a long time.

This scene will be remembered for a lifetime.

But he actually wanted to say that this is a long-term process of enlightenment, so there is no need to rush.

However, before he could say anything, he heard Ji Xun say with excitement: "Senior, I feel like I understand a little bit!"

As soon as these words came out, Gong Wu, an old man who had lived for more than 100 years, stiffened his expression and thought in his mind: Got it?

Before he could recall what "understood" meant.

Looking at Ji Xun's slightly frowning expression, he seemed to feel that it was not even fun.

Then, with a surge of spell power, a demonic figure with a strange smile appeared on his back.

An indescribable demonic aura swept through the mine.

Gong Wu looked at his old face and twitched inexplicably, feeling that something was wrong: "."

He was not surprised that Ji Xun was able to solve the problem, after all, he had seen many geniuses in his life.

What he is curious about is, what series is this clown demon from?

Not only have I seen it, but I have never even heard of it.

But this thought flashed past, and what was even more shocking was yet to come.

After the magic was solved, the mark's [Trickster] entry comprehension changed from +10 to +20, as well as the +5 that comes with the clown mask.

Ji Xun instantly entered a state of super enlightenment.

The realization that I felt was about to slip away just now was caught in my hands in an instant.

Not just a feeling, but a real touch!
Ji Xun was focused on nothing but one thought.

At this moment, his eyes only reflected the cyclone on Gong Wu's fingers, and the thoughts in his heart seemed to break down the process of condensing the cyclone.

Then came the decomposition process. He clearly felt a layer of wind lingering on his palms.
It was like learning to ride a self-study bike. At a certain moment, he suddenly felt the feeling of breaking the wind, and he mastered this skill without knowing it.

for a moment,

He caught the wind!
"I really caught it!"

Ji Xun felt very realistically that he could catch the "wind" in his hand just by grabbing it.

And it no longer slipped away without a trace between the fingers like it usually did.

The epiphanies continue, and my thoughts continue to race.

He tried to control the wisp of wind like a "soft silk scarf" with his own breath, slowly gathering at his fingertips.

then
Twisted in a spiral shape.

At this moment, Ji Xun was completely immersed in this state of learning, completely unaware that the old man opposite was stunned when he saw this scene.

Gong Wu marveled in his heart: "This kid actually has such an exaggerated understanding ability?"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a new qigong master could master the key to spiral qi control after just one look?
Although the fine sweat on his forehead showed that it was very difficult for Ji Xun to touch a little bit of fur.

But this is enough to shock Gong Wu, a great qigong master!

The raised arc on the demon phantom's face seemed to be mocking what he just said.

Fortunately, I spoke slowly just now.

Otherwise, you would have known that it took me nearly a year to master the Qi control technique.
That's it.

After a moment of surprise, Gong Wu guessed some reasons, and then smiled with relief: "He has some skills in this career sequence."

While smiling bitterly, he was even more relieved.

At this moment, Gong Wu knew that the young man in front of him could not be treated with common sense.

To others, he really felt that even if he was willing to teach his skills, others might not be able to learn them.

This one is different.

While he was thinking about it, Ji Xunzhong's Qi disappeared within two seconds. He also said to himself at the same time: "Ah, it's a pity that it collapsed."

Gong Wu's expression was slightly weird, but in the end he just said lightly: "Yeah. It's already pretty good."

Ji Xun thought about the process of his failure and reflected on himself: "Ah, it's really difficult. If you want to keep the cyclone from collapsing, you need to practice for at least several days."

Gong Wu's white eyebrows jumped slightly: "."

The wine I was drinking suddenly didn't smell so good.

Ji Xun exhaled slightly and did not try to practice Condensed Cyclone any more.

He could not stay on the seventh floor of the mine for long, so he cherished the time taught by this senior even more.

Now that you have mastered the method, you can just practice it in private.

I want to learn more and other better ones.

Ji Xun asked directly: "Senior, I should be able to master this technique of condensing cyclones between my fingers in a few days. How about you teach me something else? I will also practice it in private, and you can join me when I come tomorrow. Guidance.”

He was indeed immersed in a state of enlightenment just now, but now that he has come back to his senses, he realizes that his previous performance may have been a bit shocking.

But I didn’t feel anything bad.

The last thing you need in front of such seniors is pretentious humility.

It's about showing your learning ability so that your seniors can see it early and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

Since you can learn by yourself and your seniors are willing to teach, then learn more.

What's more, this is the Shangbang Prison under the jurisdiction of the Oran survivors. Ji Xun always felt that it would be safer to learn as much skills as possible.

He also never forgot the epic entry of [The Bad Luck Gambler] hanging on his panel.

"."

When Gong Wu heard this, he was speechless for a moment.

According to normal thinking, it would take at least a long time for Ji Xun to master the skill of "qi control".

During this period, I will gradually teach some other things.

This is the normal rhythm.

But he didn't expect that as soon as the clown demon appeared, this guy would directly get the hang of it?

The old man felt like he was a tiger cub waiting for food before him. He was always hungry and needed more food.

But if it was as Ji Xun guessed, Gong Wu didn't think it was bad, but was even more relieved and looking forward to it.

After all, he himself was once hailed as "the best martial arts genius in the world" by others.

Geniuses should never be viewed through the eyes of ordinary people.

If you can reach the peak of martial arts just by practicing hard, then anyone can do it.

But the fact is that climbing to the peak requires opportunity.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the phantom of the demon behind Ji Xun. Gong Wu knew that this was Ji Xun's big opportunity.

But accidents are accidents.

Teachers will never make students feel that learning is easy in the first class.

Gong Wu listened to Ji Xun's desire to learn more and thought: "Oh? I want to learn something else."

I have a desire to test myself, and I also want to test where Ji Xun's limits are.

As he said that, the old man took another sip of wine, then spread his palms, "Okay, you can try this."

Ji Xun stared intently, and in a blink of an eye he saw the energy in the old man's palm condensed into a bird?
"Turn birds into gas?"

He looked at it to make sure he saw it correctly.

If you think you can turn into a tornado or a bird, it shouldn't be difficult.

As soon as this thought came to Ji Xun's mind, he realized in a blink of an eye that he was a frog in a well: Is this bird alive?
The old man looked at his expression and was very satisfied.

With a slight shake of his hand, a magical scene immediately took place.The bird actually fluttered its wings and flew!

"This"

Ji Xun was stunned.

He watched helplessly as this senior condensed a bird with his energy.

But I can't understand it at all. Such a bird is exactly like a living creature, able to flap its wings and fly?
It feels like a teacher teaching you to draw, and then draws a bird, and the bird flies out of the painting.

How to learn this?
He asked with an incredible expression: "Senior, do I want to condense this 'air bird'?"

If we say cyclone is only technically difficult.

Then this "bird" is completely incomprehensible.

Ji Xun vaguely felt that this was a cursed spirit that only fourth-level card masters could come into contact with?

Do not!
Probably higher.

The cursed spirit that Ji Xun had seen.

But none are quite as vivid as this bird.

The old man glanced at it and said disgustedly: "No, it's still early for you. What you have to do now is to catch it."

Ji Xun was relieved when he heard this.

It turns out it’s not that I can’t understand it.

But it should not be understood in the first place.

But since he was catching a bird, he didn't hesitate. He jumped up and caught the bird fluttering in mid-air.

I originally thought it would be a test like grabbing the belt before, but it turned out not to be?
"what?"

Just when Ji Xun was still wondering why it was so easy to catch the bird, he immediately noticed something as soon as he got the bird.

It's like pinching a balloon and popping it with a "pop".

Ji Xun landed, looked at his empty palms, frowned, and instantly realized what the old man wanted him to grab.

Very difficult.

It breaks when touched. You need to use your own Qi to control the "Qi" and prevent it from deforming.

Just thinking about the difficulty made Ji Xun frown.

No clue at all.

The old man looked at Ji Xun's sad face, and the wine in his hand was fragrant again. He said faintly: "It's normal if you can't catch it. Once you are fully proficient in using Qi to transform whirlpools, you should be able to get started. Practice hard. "

Ji Xun nodded, "Yes, senior"

Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?
Although they didn't get along for long, he also discovered that this old man's expert demeanor was often invisible, and it was true that he was a bit sinister.

But it's really easy to get along with.

The old man knew that the question he had asked was a bit difficult, so he encouraged him again: "It's not bad. Among all the people I've seen in my life, your talent is the second person who amazes me."

"???"

It was impossible for Ji Xun to be frustrated by such difficulties.

Now that you know the direction, if you practice more, you will definitely get the hang of it.

This confidence is still there.

Instead, he was more curious about the "second one".

It's not that Ji Xun is arrogant and complacent, but he knows very well that now that he has the blessing of JOKER, is there anyone with this talent that is stronger than him?

He asked directly: "What is the first one?"

At this question, the old man's eyes suddenly widened, as if he thought of something.

Ji Xun thought it was touching on some bad past events, so he wasn't prepared to ask any more questions.

Unexpectedly, after pondering for a moment, the old man spoke slowly: "When I was young, I had some success in martial arts due to my talent. I was complacent and made trouble everywhere. But that time, I encountered A guy of similar age, but he was completely defeated. That guy is a genius that I have seen back then that can be called a 'monster'."

The old man said, pointing to the scar on his right eye: "This scar was left by that guy."

As he said that, a trace of recollection flashed across his deep eyes that had accumulated over the years, and he sighed: "This also spurred me on for the rest of my life. It always reminds me not to be proud and complacent. In the journey of martial arts, there is heaven, and there are people outside the world."

"."

Ji Xun listened and thought so.

This scar indeed has a special meaning.

The old man continued: "But unfortunately, after that time, I never saw him again. I can't even remember what that guy looked like. I still often wonder if I have ever really encountered such a monster. But this scar keeps reminding me that that guy really existed and he really forgot too many things when he got old."

"."

Although Ji Xun is curious about who the "monster" is, it can make such a great master feel knotted for a lifetime.

But hearing that this kind of forgetfulness probably happened hundreds of years ago, he didn't take it to heart.

I just know that the old man is also telling him this.

Since the old man was willing to teach the secret technique, Ji Xun's time has become more abundant.

Not only the secret method of "Gluttony", but also everything in martial arts practice.

As long as Ji Xun asks, the other party will answer patiently.

Coupled with the super understanding brought by JOKER's magic solution, Ji Xun is like a sponge absorbing water, crazily absorbing all kinds of extraordinary knowledge.

But Ji Xun couldn't stay on the seventh floor of the mine for too long.

So every day I could only drink some wine and eat something with Gong Wu, and then return to the fourth floor to practice.

Focus on practicing various "qi control" secret techniques, reading various classics, feeling the repulsive force on [Angel Feathers], practicing "Inducing the Gods to Fall", and practicing the newly mastered "Gluttony" secret technique while meditating. There are also " Kongyue Shenxiang."

Ji Xun always feels that he doesn't have enough time.

But it has to be said that the extremely high spiritual pollution environment in this mine is really a perfect place for him to practice.

Those negative mental powers became a great help for his cultivation, and his speed of enlightenment was countless times that of the outside world.

This allows Ji Xun to often fall into a state of enlightenment and learn and master skills with extremely high efficiency.

Even a legendary grandmaster like Gong Wu was amazed when he saw his changes day by day.

It often takes others months to learn skills that he can master in a few days;
Often some super-level knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people to understand is easier for him to understand.

This also made Gong Wu more comfortable in teaching.

After all, in the high-level realm of martial arts, many things require extremely high levels of understanding.

Unless he is willing to teach, others will definitely be able to learn it.

The Ji Xun he met was an exception.

As long as he is willing to teach and is still at Ji Xun's level, this guy can learn it.

Sooner or later.

This made Gong Wu very happy.

After observing for a few days, he also guessed that the clown demon was special.

Although at first when Gong Wu discovered that Ji Xun possessed several "52 Demon God's Forbidden Techniques", he felt that he was on the wrong track and should just concentrate on one.

After all, human energy is limited.

If it is complex, it will definitely not be refined.

What's more, in the eyes of a top powerhouse like him, every demonic forbidden technique is worthy of a lifetime of study by the card master.

To practice to the extreme, you don’t need so many fancy secret techniques.

But later I discovered that this guy was learning several secret arts at the same time, and he was able to do them all at the same time, and his insights and practice were all pretty good!

Gong Wu realized that Ji Xun's career sequence was different from the ordinary "52 Demon God Sequence".

His vision had seen something further away, and he no longer wanted to persuade.

Nearly two months passed by like this.

Ji Xun's strength was completely different from before he came in.

The seventh floor of the mine.

There was a bird standing in Ji Xun's palm.

This is still the air bird transformed by the curse spirit.

Although Ji Xun can now hold it perfectly in his hand, there is a new test now.

The old man said that when he stopped the bird from flying out of his hand, he understood the true secret of "strength and energy".

Theoretically speaking, when a bird flies, its claws will kick on the ground, and the airflow will change. As long as the moment of force is captured.

Remove this force and the bird will not be able to fly.

Just like in a battle, the enemy's fist and blade touch the body, and when the force is felt, it can be removed perfectly.

This is one of the top techniques in Qigong fighting - Ting Jin'er.

And this is also the stepping stone to higher martial arts.

Once you have truly reached the top, you will be able to take over all existences that can be called "qi and power" with your bare hands, even laws.

But after trying many times, Ji Xun moved his palm slightly, and the bird flapped its wings and flew away.

After countless failed attempts, he couldn't help complaining to the drunken old man not far away: "Senior, how could the bird not fly in my hand? You are not deliberately making things difficult for me, are you?"

Gong Wu responded lazily: "I didn't master the trick, who's to blame?"

The two of them have become very familiar with each other in the past two months.

The two also often joke and complain about each other.

Although the old man has a strange temper, he doesn't have the airs of a master.

Ji Xun never pretends to be pretentious.

In essence, the relationship is about teaching and teaching, and the two of them are more like close friends.

Complaints are complaints, the old man really teaches things, and said: "If you really can't understand it, just find a copper bell and ring it to feel the vibration. The same is true for your [Two-pole Collapse]. You must at least create the four-gravity path. , you have mastered the strength. When you meet a truly top master, once you take action, the strength of your hand will penetrate wherever it touches. All the bells and whistles will only make you die faster. The foundation of martial arts is nothing more than strength. The word "Qi". When your realm reaches a high level, you will slowly come into contact with "Yi". That is something that requires opportunity to comprehend, so don't rush it."

"Oh."

This is real information. Although Ji Xun's expression still looked unconvinced, he listened very seriously in his heart.

But when he heard the mention of "meaning", his thoughts started to change again.

He comes to the seventh floor of the mine every day, and every time he sees the aberrant miners on the fifth and sixth floors who have mastered martial arts like crazy.

Although I have seen them before, they are very powerful.

But after studying for more than a month in the past month and opening his eyes from real top qigong masters, he discovered that those "crazy people" are really powerful.

And I can’t understand it more and more.

The more you know, the more you are in awe.

Although those miners are not of high rank, their understanding of "meaning" is very evil.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun was curious after all, and asked: "Senior, what exactly is 'intention'? Also, what kind of fist intention do you understand?"

I had asked several times before, but Gong Wu ignored him.

There are some things that are beyond the realm of attainment, and it is not good to be exposed to them too early.

But this time when he heard Ji Xun ask him about his fist intention, the old man seemed to be interested and glanced at him: "Me? Haha. Do you really want to see it?"

Ji Xun thought that vision was not very good, but he was indeed too curious.

Those lunatics have realized such a powerful "fighting spirit".

This senior has been practicing hard on the seventh floor of the most polluted mine for so long. What has he learned?
Ji Xun had an intuition, which was definitely an extraordinary "boxing intention".

Hearing that the old man seemed to really want to say something this time, he nodded and asked expectantly: "Can I watch?"

When the old man heard this, his eyes were like mist, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He said deeply: "Well, let me show you the scenery at the top of the martial arts mountain in this world."

is coming?
After getting familiar with him, I also know that this old man can hide his strength, but if he really wants to show it, his character will not be modest.

When Ji Xun heard this, he felt a sense of awe in his heart.

Before he could recall where that sense of awe came from.

Suddenly, like a demon coming, an indescribable aura swept over him like a mountain.

The skinny old man was still sitting there, but his aura was completely different now, and he was getting taller and taller.

Without being angry, he felt an indescribable aura of high status that made Ji Xun's soul tremble.

At that moment, as if seeing a god, a sense of humility deep in the blood of the soul surged into the heart, making people immediately feel a sense of surrender as they fell down and knelt down in worship.

In a dazed moment, Ji Xun suddenly realized.

This is the old man's "boxing intention".

"Dragon power? Divine power?"

Ji Xun was no stranger to the pressure of such high-ranking creatures, and immediately thought of the power of dragons and the pressure of the Weeping Angel.

While feeling great terror, he immediately corrected himself: "No! This is the high-level artistic conception that Master Merlin mentioned!"

At this moment, Ji Xun finally realized how terrifying this old man had realized.

Can human beings have such coercion?
he.
He may be the realm where humans can possess the power of gods, which has only been recorded in myths and legends - the legendary demigod!
This is what Master Merlin said, it may be a realm above the sixth level!

Does this realm really exist?
