Chapter 159 Lao Zhou is relieved and Chen Pingping breaks through! (Please subscribe)
In fact, Chen Pingping actually put a lot of thought into how to persuade Lao Zhou to adopt this desperate method.

Lao Zhou was the breadwinner of the family, so he couldn't take risks.

Although after Chen Pingping's narration, he also understood the seriousness of the hidden danger of clowns in Jiangnan Base City, but when Chen Pingping began to persuade him to control the Warrior Association in Jiangnan Base City and obstruct all investigations, he still encountered great obstacles.

As Chen Pingping said frankly, if you don’t obstruct the investigation, it may take one or two days, maybe one or two months. No one knows when the truth will be found out. But if you obstruct the investigation, it will definitely not be exposed in the next week, but it is estimated that it will not be exposed in the next week. In just a week or so, it will be completely exposed!

So, this is a multiple choice question.

In fact, no matter which one you choose, the final result will be exposure, but the time you can buy is different.

Lao Zhou really regretted this. He regretted getting involved with Chen Pingping, not because of himself, but because of his family...

He really didn't expect that things would develop to this point...

Chen Pingping harmed almost everyone...

For this reason, he did say a few harsh words, saying that if he knew this result at the beginning and asked him to choose again, he would really not help Chen Pingping, even if he was cast aside and demolished bridges, even if he was pointed at his nose and scolded by Chen Pingping, he would not help Chen Pingping. It’s better than harming a whole family...

In this regard, Chen Pingping expressed his understanding. From Lao Zhou's perspective, he had indeed harmed him and his entire family. It is conceivable that once exposed, Lao Zhou's entire family would not be able to do anything good. The end...

Of course, he also said that the reason why I asked you to trust me, Lao Zhou, was because I was convinced that I could guarantee your safety. And the reason why you obstructed the investigation this time was indeed because I was only a day or two away. Got it!
Yes, I am only one or two days away from being promoted to the ninth realm. As long as you dare to obstruct the investigation, I dare to make a comeback in two days!

Just tell me whether you believe me or not!

Of course, there is no basis for what you say and there is no real material. Just relying on one word, Lao Zhou has believed it from the beginning to now. If he doesn't express his words, Lao Zhou is not a stick!
Therefore, since everyone is in Jiangnan Base City at this moment, Chen Pingping took Lao Zhou directly outside the city, showing the strength of the peak of the Nine Realms, and easily crushed him...

Lao Zhou was dumbfounded!
Only then did he fully understand where Chen Pingping's inexplicable confidence came from... He also understood why both Lei Ming and Chen Pingping cared about the stone monument like crazy... He also understood more clearly that whether it was Lei Ming or Chen Pingping, Chen Pingping, why do you want to kill the other party no matter what the cost?
Really, the effect of this strange thing on the stele is simply against the sky!

"I understand... Now I completely understand..." Lao Zhou murmured to himself, with a look of ecstasy gradually appearing on his face.

Although he was crushed by Chen Pingping, he was extremely happy. After realizing that the clown in Jiangnan Base City might be exposed, he was already desperate, but he unexpectedly survived!

This kid Chen Pingping is really awesome!

"This will make you completely at ease. Will you help me thwart the investigation?" Chen Pingping smiled, "Two days, I only need to ensure your safety for two days!"

"I know my progress clearly. It really takes two days at most to advance to the ninth realm. By then, thunder will be nothing!"

"Haha, if you had told me sooner, why have I been so frightened these days!" Old Zhou laughed, "If I had known your strength earlier, what would I have said to you? If you say obstruct the investigation, you must obstruct it immediately!" investigation!"

It can be seen that Lao Zhou is really relaxed, his eyes are about to stop laughing, and he chattered endlessly like venting: "You boy, really, you boy are so uninteresting, you actually managed to wait until now to tell me, you know that I have recently Are you worried about how many gray hairs you have? Do you know how many nights I haven’t slept?"

I told you a long time ago, but you just don't believe it... Chen Pingping curled his lips, thought for a moment, and said frankly: "To be honest, I'm actually afraid too. Who knows if you, an old boy, can Steal my things? This thing is really outrageous. Let alone you, I don’t even dare to tell my parents..."

"Fart, I will steal your things?! Who do you think I am!" Lao Zhou suddenly blew his beard and glared, paused, and then said a little bit, "It seems, it's really not necessarily... this thing is really scary. Of course, don’t worry, what I said is not necessarily true. If your kid’s life is not in danger, if I really take this stone tablet from you, I will have to take your kid’s life. Uncle Zhou and I still can’t do this. of!"

"Come on you!" Chen Pingping rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Actually, if this monument is not acquired by Lei Ming, but by you, it is not that we cannot coexist peacefully... No one has stipulated that these monuments must be fused together. Let's get up... If we separate, although the speed of strength improvement has been discounted, but with our relationship, it is more likely that you are good to me, and everyone is good together..."

"In fact, this stone tablet is only very effective when we are still weak. In the future, at least in terms of auxiliary training, it will actually be nothing at all..."

"How do you know it won't matter in the future?" Lao Zhou was confused.

"Do you still remember the ruins of the Scorching Wasteland? I broke through it." Chen Pingping chuckled.

"...I knew it was you!" Lao Zhou suddenly realized, "There is actually something in the ruins?"

"There's nothing valuable, except for this and this long sword." Chen Pingping nodded and took out the soul crystal.

It's almost time to let Lao Zhou know something.

Lao Zhou had no doubt that he was there. After receiving the soul crystal, his body immediately stiffened and he fell into a state of passively accepting knowledge.

In response, Chen Pingping's expression changed.

This soul crystal cannot resist when the spiritual power is not unlocked. Once it comes into contact, it will fall into a state of passively accepting knowledge... This state is obviously defenseless... Can it be used on Lei Ming at a critical moment?
After thinking about it, he abandoned the idea.

It sounds like that, but in fact it's useless. If you hit it, Lei Ming won't pick it up. You can [-]% dodge it or chop it off with a sword.

Taking the initiative to get close to him, taking the initiative to let the soul crystal touch him, is even more unnecessary... When you can get close, why touch him with the soul crystal, and directly pierce his heart with a long sword, isn't it simpler and more crude...

Thinking too much...

"It turns out that this universe is actually like this... plane clusters, it turns out that the earth has such a big origin..."

After a while, Lao Zhou finished accepting the knowledge in the soul crystal, broke away from the unconscious state, but entered the absent-minded state again.This sudden truth made him unable to accept it for a while, and it took time to digest it.

Chen Pingping didn't bother him, and kept playing with the soul crystal. After a while, after Lao Zhou came back to his senses, he solemnly said: "It is worth explaining that this soul crystal can store the true spirit of living beings. If it wasn't for the stone tablet to protect the body before , I was almost killed by that alien creature..."

"Resolving Lei Ming is the most important thing now, but this 'seize the house', to be honest, we have to guard against... So many alien creatures were old... ahem, sent to the subsidiary plane by those giants... I’m not sure if this is the only soul crystal… and I’m not sure if someone’s body has been snatched away… This matter needs attention!”

"Is there really such a thing as 'seizing one's body'?" Lao Zhou asked in surprise.

Because of our ancestors, many mythological terms of human beings may actually exist... Unfortunately, I can't tell you this yet. I'll tell you after I advance to the Burning Fire Realm... Chen Pingping smiled and said: "I have even speculated that maybe Lei Ming has been taken away by someone a long time ago. Of course, it is unlikely... If he is really taken away, his strength will not improve so slowly, and he will not be helpless against the ruins before. ."

"That's right. The scene of countless tyrannical creatures floating in the air is simply terrifying. Their strength must be far beyond the ninth level or even above the ninth level. If Lei Ming is taken away, it is impossible for them to be so weak." Lao Zhou nodded. , to agree.

Then, he looked at Chen Pingping with a sullen look on his face, "Good boy, I really underestimated you, you hid it so deeply! You actually knew such a secret so early, and you didn't reveal it at all!"

In this regard, Chen Pingping could only sneer, "Aren't there too many things happening recently... Besides, haven't I told you now? You know, you are the first person in the world to know about this besides me. , I didn’t even tell our old Chen and his wife.”

Lao Zhou snorted: "You brat! I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Let's go and go back to stop the investigation. Otherwise, if you are really unlucky and your identity is found out before you are promoted to the ninth realm, you will be in trouble!" "

"I didn't think so at first, but now that I know the truth about the stele, I really feel that Lei Ming can really do something like bomb the base city in the south of the Yangtze River with nuclear bombs in order to get rid of you!"

"Well, okay, I'll go back and prepare for a breakthrough quickly. Relax, it will be fine. Just wait for me for a day or two!" Chen Pingping said with a smile.

"Hurry up!" Old Zhou warned, without staying any longer, and quickly returned to Jiangnan Base City.

Knowing Chen Pingping's true strength, the big stone in his heart has been let go. Now, whether it is for Chen Pingping or himself, he will go all out to ensure that the rumors of clowns in Jiangnan Base City will never leak the slightest word!

……

The weather in January is already very cold.

I don't know if it is because of some changes in the Blood Sea that the average temperature of the earth has been decreasing year by year. In the Jiangnan Base City, which was originally located in the warm south, after nightfall, the temperature outside was actually close to minus [-] degrees.

However, this is not the point. The point is that in such a cold temperature, Chen Pingping feels that his whole body is extremely hot, even comparable to being exposed to the scorching sun at noon in summer.

Consistent with the heat in his body, his mood was also extremely hot at this moment.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that his estimate had been off.

He didn't expect that the Burning Fire Realm, which was expected to be promoted tomorrow, would suddenly arrive that night!

The unprecedented qi and blood riot that suddenly appeared in his body completely eliminated all his worries in the past few days!

It’s time to advance to the Burning Fire Realm!
Sensing the changes in his body, Chen Pingping's face showed a look of ecstasy. He took a few deep breaths and waited for a breakthrough.

In fact, promotion to the Burning Fire Realm does not require him to actively practice or control. This is a natural process of the body changing from quantitative to qualitative changes.

Originally, the cultivation of the Fire Realm was a process of operating genetic cultivation methods, absorbing a large amount of energy particles between heaven and earth, and integrating them into the skin, blood, muscles, bones, and even every cell, to comprehensively strengthen the physical body.

Improvements in strength, speed, nerve response, five senses, etc. are all additional effects brought about by strengthening the physical body. The same is true for internal strength, which is also derived from the continuous strengthening of the physical body.

This is actually the same now, except that after the physical body reaches the peak of the Nine Realms, with the operation of the genetic cultivation method and the continuous infusion of energy from the boundary monument, a large amount of heaven and earth energy enters the body, finally triggering the so-called quantitative change causing qualitative change!

At this moment, after the strength of his physical body reached a certain critical point, the endless cells suddenly squirmed, the blood began to riot, and the muscles twisted crazily as if they were rearranging tissues, and an astonishing change suddenly occurred!
Chen Pingping didn't know how to describe this change, but he was certain that the gap between his physical body at this moment and that of the Ninth Realm was far greater than water turning into ice or iron turning into steel!
It seems that it takes a little long to describe the qualitative change of the physical body in words, but in fact, the qualitative change of the physical body is completed in only an instant.

After the qualitative change, sudden changes occurred.

The physical body suddenly became indistinguishable from enemy and friend. Not only did it absorb the energy of heaven and earth, but the countless internal forces in the original nine realms in the body also became the absorption target of the physical body, which was quickly absorbed!
In this regard, Chen Pingping did not panic. He had already experienced this situation once in his previous life, so he naturally knew it well.

This is a normal reaction. At this moment, every cell in the body is equivalent to an energy storage unit, and any energy will be absorbed. Therefore, it will not only absorb the energy of heaven and earth, but also absorb internal energy.

In fact, as a reborn person, he naturally knows that the essence of internal energy is actually a trace amount of gaseous energy.

Originally, the physical body was not strong enough, the cells could not store energy, and the physical body could not use 100% of all the heaven and earth energy entering the body for strengthening. It is inevitable that some leaked fish would seep out of the body. These leaked fish are trace amounts of gaseous energy ——Inner energy.

Now that the physical body is strong enough, cells, as energy storage units, once activated, will naturally not tolerate these gaseous energies hanging around them!

Well, to put it simply, cells do not have thoughts, so they naturally absorb whatever they can. Whether it is the energy of heaven and earth that enters the body, or the previous internal energy, they will not distinguish, as long as it is energy, they will absorb it.

After feeling that the cells had turned into energy storage units and began to absorb a large amount of energy, Chen Pingping looked happy.

He knows that the first step of this breakthrough has been completed, and the next step is the second step: igniting the genetic fire and unlocking spiritual power!
In fact, the second step is the key. Only by unlocking the spiritual power can a special fire-burning mode be activated, and then one can become an official fire-burning realm practitioner!
