I have a city in another world

Chapter 6953 You're Not Worthy of Being Arrogant in Front of Me
When a sick dragon crosses shallow waters, or a hero falls into misfortune, he has no choice but to bow his head and accept his fate.

This demigod cultivator was fully aware of his situation and understood that his life and death were entirely in Tang Zhen's hands.

Unfortunately, his arrival was too short, and he had not yet acquired effective means of self-protection; otherwise, he would not have been in such a sorry state.

The demigod cultivator was unwilling to accept this and attempted to negotiate with Tang Zhen.

As a demigod cultivator, he always held himself in high regard and felt that he had great value.

A person's mindset is their bargaining power; even in adversity, it can help them turn the tide.

The demigod cultivator remained completely unfazed, and even let out a loud laugh to show his stance.

Perhaps he was lamenting his fate, or perhaps he was boosting his confidence; in any case, he acted as if no one else was around.

After laughing wildly, the demigod cultivator looked at Tang Zhen.

"I've hidden myself well enough to be easily discovered. How did you find this place?"

Unable to figure out the reason for the exposure, he felt as if a thorn was stuck in his heart, so he immediately questioned Tang Zhen.

Seeing the other party's anxious look, Tang Zhen had an idea and told them the specific process of discovering this place.

Upon hearing this, the demigod cultivator's face turned ashen.

"I see."

A cold smile appeared on his lips, his voice filled with deep disdain.

"Those bastards really will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

It was quite obvious that the demigod cultivator had been betrayed by his accomplices, who had deliberately left clues to lure Tang Zhen to their hiding place.

This is a case of using someone else to do one's dirty work, eliminating a competitor.

Tang Zhen didn't care about being used; as long as he could eliminate the descending demigod cultivators, he didn't mind if this happened a few more times.

"They are heartless, so don't blame me for being ruthless. At worst, we'll betray each other, and no one will be able to keep all the benefits for themselves!"

Judging from the demigod cultivator's appearance, he seemed to have given up all hope, thinking that if he was going to be in trouble, no one else would be any better off.

Tang Zhen remained expressionless, quietly observing the other party without making any statement.

He only cares about the outcome, not the reasons behind it. Whether it's a dog-eat-dog revenge scheme or a ruthless pursuit of profit, those are the other party's business.

During this time, the demigod cultivator secretly observed Tang Zhen, wanting to see how he would react.

According to the information gathered, Tang Zhen is a seventh-level cultivator, and compared to a demigod cultivator, he is definitely lacking in strength and experience.

He would seek what he lacked, and he happened to possess it.

Making good use of opportunities can not only turn the tide of a crisis, but also bring additional benefits.

Putting everything else aside, at the very least, one should ensure their own safety, rather than losing their life in a place like this.

If that's really the case, I would rather die than accept it.

"I can tell you anything you want to know."

Seeing that Tang Zhen didn't ask, the demigod cultivator had no choice but to speak up and demonstrate his own value.

If something has no value, it is equivalent to garbage and can be ruthlessly discarded at any time.

"What do you know?"

Tang Zhen countered with a question, as if he could see through the other person's thoughts, his words carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"I know a lot of things, such as how to break through to the eighth or ninth rank, how to comprehend the rules after becoming a demigod, and the method of condensing a divine spark. These are invaluable knowledge that money can't buy."

As the demigod cultivator spoke, a hint of pride appeared on his face, a source of his arrogance that he could shamelessly flaunt.

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen's mocking smile deepened, causing the demigod cultivator opposite him to frown.

Why are you so disdainful?

The demigod cultivator was deeply dissatisfied with the questioning of his pride and immediately questioned Tang Zhen.

The arrogance of a demigod cultivator runs deep in his bones. Even in his perilous situation, he remains defiant and unruly. Even though Tang Zhen could decide his life or death at this moment, he might not be able to make him submit or show weakness.

"The experience gained from advancing to the eighth and ninth ranks is indeed quite important for ordinary seventh-rank cultivators."

However, as long as one has the ability and background, one can acquire it through different channels; it is not a monopolistic or exclusive inheritance.

What you are proud of may not necessarily be the best, and may even have drawbacks that can have a serious impact when forming a divine essence.

It will require considerable effort to remedy the existing deficiencies, and at a great cost.

The aloof demigod cultivator's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and his gaze towards Tang Zhen became more serious.

The problem was exactly what Tang Zhen was facing, and he only realized its drawbacks after becoming a demigod cultivator.

Tang Zhen was not a demigod cultivator, yet he knew the secret behind it, which clearly came from other channels.

Knowing this knowledge in advance can help avoid many detours and prevent you from being overwhelmed after becoming a demigod cultivator.

Based on this knowledge alone, Tang Zhen was qualified to communicate with him on an equal footing.

Tang Zhen remained expressionless and spoke in a flat tone, as if he hadn't noticed the change in the demigod cultivator's eyes at all.

To destroy the confidence of an arrogant person, you must defeat them in their proudest moment, leaving them with no ability to resist.

Demigod-level cultivators do indeed possess rich experience and knowledge, enough to crush the vast majority of cultivators.

But at this moment, the young man standing in front of him had an extraordinary background.

During his youth, Tang Zhen spent his days and nights reading through the books and records in the Foundation Platform, learning about many top-secret information from all the heavens and myriad worlds.

The skills passed down, which were considered priceless treasures by countless cultivators, were nothing more than Tang Zhen's pastime reading.

The knowledge I learned included not only the landscapes and natural features of the myriad worlds, but also solutions to many difficult problems related to cultivation.

Tang Zhen found it quite interesting that all sorts of difficult problems had different solutions.

Tang Zhen had also read many books related to gods, and his knowledge was far beyond that of ordinary demigod cultivators.

It is no exaggeration to say that ordinary demigod cultivators are not even worthy of carrying Tang Zhen's shoes.

"The ability of demigod cultivators to perceive rules is not due to their own cultivation, but rather because their bodies gradually transform into energy after reaching a certain level of cultivation."

The rules of heaven and earth are the default instructions for controlling various energies. When a cultivator's body is energized, it also becomes part of the rules' control.

It is precisely because of the influence of the rules that one can feel their power and glimpse the correct path to becoming a god.

To become a god, one must convert all of one's energy; however, this is only one step in the process.

Condensing a divine essence is crucial. Its function is equivalent to a coordinate, ensuring that after it is energized, it will not be assimilated by the energy and rules of heaven and earth, but will instead merge into one with them.

The ultimate fate of a demigod cultivator who fails to advance to godhood is to merge with heaven and earth. If they are lucky, they can be reincarnated and start cultivating again; if they are unlucky, their consciousness is annihilated, and they become a complete part of heaven and earth.

The key to condensing a divine essence is actually…

Tang Zhen stopped talking abruptly at this point.

The demigod cultivator stared in disbelief as Tang Zhen recounted the story, and some of his doubts were resolved.

The thick fog that had been blocking his view seemed to dissipate, allowing him to vaguely see the road ahead.

Upon hearing the crucial moment, which was also the content he cared about most, Tang Zhen immediately fell silent.

The demigod cultivator stared wide-eyed at Tang Zhen, as if he were a big fish that had swallowed a hook.

He knew perfectly well that Tang Zhen was whetting his appetite, yet he was willingly taking the bait.

What Tang Zhen recounted must have been the top-secret inheritance of a powerful sect, the insights and experiences left by the gods for future generations.

It is priceless, worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.

The demigod's confidence and pride had vanished, leaving only a deep longing.

If he knew the complete inheritance, even without the fragments of the divine spark, he would have a higher chance of condensing a divine spark.

This is the true opportunity, the righteous path of cultivation that every cultivator dreams of, and it is worth fighting for with all one's might.
