Chapter 522: Rapid Advancement

There was still more than half an hour left in the map, so walking slowly was definitely not an option. However, the principle of "infection" by chaotic creatures was still unclear, and no one dared to approach Ling Jian easily.

After discussion, it was decided that Luo Jun and Yuan Lao, who were the fastest, would go out with the map to explore the way, while the others would wait at a fixed place, and the two sides would keep in touch at any time through talisman paper.

As for Ling Jian, Mao Xintong took out a barrier grenade. After activating this thing and throwing it out, it can generate a hemispherical energy barrier with a radius of five meters. The barrier is two-way. Before the energy is exhausted, no one can get in from the outside and no one can get out from the inside. It can be used as a shield or a cage.

Put Ling Jian inside the grenade barrier. This way, even if he loses control after waking up, he will be trapped, and the others will have time to react and respond.

After everything was ready, the master and disciple said goodbye to the others, opened the map, and walked into the depths of the maze.

"I can't see it from here..." After turning a corner, Yuan Lao looked behind him and turned to Luo Jun and said, "How about it, let the master see how fast you can go at full speed?"

Luo Jun laughed and said, "I'm afraid you can't keep up, Master..."

"You brat, you're so arrogant!" Old Yuan scolded with a smile, "Do you really think your master is old? I want to see how fast you can go."

"If this were a large plain, I might not be able to get rid of you." Luo Jun stretched his legs and feet, preparing himself: "If you only rely on your two legs and the friction between the soles of your feet and the ground to run, no matter how strong your physical fitness is, there is a limit to your speed."

"But this is a maze, I may have to use some extraordinary means!"

As he spoke, Luo Jun, who had finished warming up, leaned forward slightly and said, "Are you ready, Master?"

Yuan Lao smiled and said, "Come on, kid."

"it is good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jun rushed out. As he started, a gust of air rose up beside him, making Yuan Lao's sleeves rustle.

"Good boy, you are really awesome!" Old Yuan exclaimed in praise, and started right after him. The master and disciple ran along the straight maze passage like two bullets sprinting forward!
The hundreds-meter-long passage came to an end in an instant, and there was a T-junction in front. Luo Jun took a look at the map. There was a dead end on the right, and a larger space could be extended on the left!

"Turn left!" After being informed, Luo Jun suddenly jumped up in front of the intersection, turned in the air, and stepped on the corner of the wall on the right with both feet!
It didn't matter that he kicked. The force from Luo Jun's feet caused the solid wall of the maze to shatter and dent instantly, and fine spider web patterns covered the wall for several meters nearby!
The reaction force brought about by such a terrifying force was also astonishing. Luo Jun instantly flew to the left, and his speed was countless times faster than running. Even at the moment of starting, a white mist circle rose around him, and a deafening explosion was heard!
"Is there such a thing?" This scene shocked Yuan Lao. As the inventor of Condensed Origin Qi, his strength was stronger than the peak of the martial arts school, so he naturally thought of this kind of operation.

But the problem is, because of the characteristics of this maze, when your feet step on the wall, the energy will be eliminated. Without the protection of the energy, if you step on it at such a high speed, not to mention how fast you can fly, your legs may not be able to withstand the powerful force!

At least with Master Yuan's seventh level of body-building skills, he thought he wouldn't be able to withstand it!
How did this guy do it? How strong is his root bone?
No... No matter how strong his bones are, the power in the state of Qi should be much stronger than his pure body. Suddenly, from having Qi to not having Qi, his inertial body can't bear it! Who is he...

Seeing that his disciple had already rushed out, Master Yuan no longer had time to guess. He knew that he could not use such a violent method, so he could only settle for the next best thing. The Bagua Finger Knuckles on his fists flashed, and a strong wind element wrapped around his body. His feet also left the ground. Although he still maintained a running posture, he had actually entered a sliding mode, and his movement speed increased greatly!

Unexpectedly, the acceleration method that Luo Jun had made up before was put into practice by Mr. Yuan using the Bagua Brass Finger Technique!
But even so, Yuan Lao's speed still could not catch up with Luo Jun, who was bouncing back and forth in the maze like a bouncy ball. In order to further increase his speed, he created two wind eyes behind him, which suddenly sprayed out a large amount of airflow. At the same time, he used the combination of fire and wind elements to trigger a powerful explosion, relying on the reaction force to propel himself forward faster!
From gliding to rocketing, Mr. Yuan relied on his extraordinary reaction to pass three intersections and finally saw Luo Jun in front of him!
As for how he determined Luo Jun's route? Just by looking at the damage to the wall at the intersection, he could infer where Luo Jun turned.

"Wow, Master has really caught up with me!" Luo Jun noticed that Master Yuan was approaching like a rocket behind him, and smiled secretly with relief. When he rushed to the next intersection, he pushed hard and accelerated again!
"Can this kid be even faster?" Old Yuan's eyes widened: "It seems he was waiting for me before!"

Thinking of this, the flame jet behind Yuan Lao increased its power and accelerated again!
In this way, the master and the disciple moved forward rapidly in the maze with sparks and lightning at an unimaginable speed, like two particles in an accelerator!
During the continuous progress, Old Yuan finally noticed that Luo Jun had hardly activated his internal energy during this journey, and he was relying on physical strength to advance the entire time!
Is this the effect of the divine technique? The Nine-layer Body Forging Technique? With the innate physique, his physical strength is thousands of times stronger than that of an ordinary person. His physical body alone is far stronger than that of an ordinary martial artist!
To be honest, Mr. Yuan’s estimation of his apprentice was still conservative.

Luo Jun's current strength attribute is over 400, more than 80 times that of an ordinary person. At the ninth level of the Solid Foundation Realm, his acquired root bone strength has increased by more than 500 times, which is 40,000 to 50,000 times the strength of an ordinary person. A kick with his legs can generate tens of thousands of tons of force. Even without using his vitality, it is enough to create a dent in the extremely solid maze wall!

At such a high speed, the efficiency of exploration was more than ten times faster than before, but at the same time, the map in Luo Jun's hand also flew backwards rapidly, like the trees beside the highway. Looking through the car window, he felt dazzled.

While sprinting, Luo Jun stared at the map intently, afraid of missing any details.

Finally, after more than 20 minutes, a black dot suddenly appeared.

"It appears!" Luo Jun shouted and immediately began to slow down. By the time the master and apprentice stopped, the black spot had been thrown out of the map...

"I just saw a store!" Luo Jun immediately started walking back. Soon the black dot appeared on the map again. The master and disciple looked at each other and immediately followed the map to rush there.

"By the way, kid." On the way, Yuan Lao suddenly asked, "Looking at the way you were bouncing between the walls just now... did you try to break the wall?"

Luo Jun nodded: "This wall is more than one meter thick, and its strength is far beyond that of ordinary materials. I can indeed create dents and cracks with my physical strength alone, but it will take a lot of effort to dig through it completely... Besides, the wall can repair itself..."

"But if you use your inner energy, you can really penetrate it with all your strength."

"Gang Qi?" Elder Yuan asked in surprise, "Isn't this wall used to shield the vital energy?"

Luo Jun smiled and said, "In front of a strong enough electric current, there is no absolute insulator. Similarly, as long as the Qi is strong enough, there is no absolute Qi shielding."

As he spoke, Luo Jun stretched out his palm, and a stream of energy condensed at his fingertips, which was continuously compressed and condensed, eventually forming an extremely sharp blade.

Luo Jun waved his hand and the blade swept across the wall next to him. Although most of the blade dissipated the moment it touched the wall, the remaining sharp edge still left a clear cut mark on the wall!

This scene made Yuan Lao's eyes widen. He had also tried to destroy the wall, but at least with the strength of his Qi, it would completely disintegrate after touching the wall, leaving nothing behind.

He originally thought that the maze generated by this chaos mission had absolute resistance to vital energy, but now it seems that the strength of his own vital energy is simply not enough.

Is this the difference between the skills of gods and mortals? Is this the difference between the ninth level and the seventh level?

Old Yuan looked at the disciple in front of him. He could hardly imagine how powerful the boy in front of him was.

When he was at his peak, he had fought against someone in the Yuhua realm. Although he was defeated in the end, thanks to the energy and strength of his qi brought by the Body Tempering Technique, the increase in the Condensed Mind Realm, and the blessing of the treasure, his defeat was not that ugly. It even became a capital for him to brag about in the future.

In Yuan Lao's opinion, although Luo Jun has not yet awakened the state of mind concentration, his strength in the two realms of consolidating the foundation and nourishing the essence is enough to match or even surpass his peak in the past!

If this kid were to challenge Yuhua now... for example, Ling Ao, who is the youngest and has the lowest level of cultivation, would he have a chance of winning?
The power of the Immortal Realm is separated from the mortals by a huge gap, and everyone regards the Immortal Realm as the ultimate goal of cultivation. However, Elder Yuan has some different views.

As one of the first people to come into contact with Yuan Qi, although his realm was not the highest, his research on Yuan Qi was the most thorough. And through studying many ancient books and exercises from other worlds, his understanding of Yuan Qi was somewhat different from that of the general public.

This difference not only made him invent the Body Tempering Technique, but also made him doubt the ultimate goal of Qi cultivation.

The three realms of strengthening the foundation, nourishing the essence, and concentrating the mind complement each other and eventually reach the peak. On the basis of the peak, the understanding of the vital energy is further improved, and the great way is realized, which can lead to the immortality and transcend the secular conventions.

Indeed, all signs indicate that there is a higher realm above the metamorphosis, which can be called the divine realm. In the more than 100 years since the main world was opened, more than ten metamorphosis have been born, and each of them is trying to explore the opportunity to go further. But over the years, no metamorphosis has found even the slightest direction.

As the first person to achieve enlightenment and a world-renowned expert on Qi theory, Old Yuan often discussed the realm of Qi cultivation with these immortals. After summarizing the experiences of many people and adding the numerous literature materials he had collected and sorted out before, a vague idea emerged in Old Yuan's mind.

The current direction of cultivation may be wrong...

It’s not a method of cultivation, but a direction!

Strengthen the foundation, nourish the essence, concentrate the mind, reach the peak, and then ascend to the immortal realm. Everyone is practicing according to this process. But in fact, the more he understands about the vital energy, the more he feels that the immortal realm may not be the right direction for practice. It is more like an imitation of the spirit realm, a compromise when one cannot ascend to the god realm...

Of course, most of the time, Yuan Lao himself was reluctant to believe this idea. Because the state of Yuhua was not invented by the main world itself, and there were many Yuhua states in the major alien worlds. If the human cultivation history of a hundred years is too short to find the right path, then could it be that the alien worlds that have cultivated Yuan Qi for thousands of years have also taken the wrong path?
Therefore, Mr. Yuan kept this vague guess in his heart and never told anyone about it. Even after so many years, he had somewhat forgotten and ignored it.

until today!

He saw a power that was almost at the threshold of metamorphosis in a young man who had not yet reached the state of Condensation!

By chance, Luo Jun cultivated the authentic divine skills. Could it be that the path this kid is taking now is the truly correct path?

It is very likely, otherwise there is no way to explain how he could possess such powerful strength!
Should I tell him...

Mr. Yuan struggled internally for a while, but ultimately did not say anything.

"Luo Jun..." Old Yuan looked at his beloved disciple and called softly.

"What's wrong, Master?" Luo Jun felt a little scared for some reason. His master always liked to call him kid or brat. Calling him by his full name made him feel as if he had made some mistake.

"Nothing, I'm just happy for you." Yuan Lao shook his head: "Obviously, your current ability has surpassed that of your teacher."

"Eh?" Luo Jun didn't expect that Master Yuan would say this. He just said modestly, "No, my skills were all taught by my master, and my master has much more experience than me. I..."

“No need to be so polite to your master.” Elder Yuan shook his head. “I have also been following the news about you recently. Your record is brilliant, and your strength is also better than mine… Honestly speaking, looking at the world now, whether it is the main world or the other world, I don’t think anyone can be your opponent after the transformation…”

At this point, Elder Yuan hesitated for a moment: "Except for the kid from the Ling family, I haven't seen him for a few years, but he is gifted and has made rapid progress. I wonder what level he is at now..."

Luo Jun frowned slightly: "Master, what do you mean?"

"Master just wants to ask you." Elder Yuan looked into Luo Jun's eyes and said, "If there is an opportunity to challenge Yuhua now, would you like to take it?"

"Challenge the metamorphosis?!"

Luo Jun was shocked by what Yuan Lao said: "Master, are you kidding me..."

"Master is serious!" Yuan Lao said solemnly: "I hope to hear your true thoughts. If there is a Yuhua standing in front of you now, do you want to challenge him?"

Hearing his master's tone, Luo Jun also became serious. After thinking for a few seconds, he finally nodded.

"I think!"
