Cosmic Demon

Chapter 152: Breakthrough in Void Meditation, New Angel Investor

Qin Shi closed his eyes, resonating mentally, and sensing scenes from the past that had been buried in the dust of history.

The mind vibrated like ripples, capturing the sound of the conversation between He Lanchan and his teacher.

"I'm just teaching you something, kid, don't try to climb the ladder."

The man in black walking in front was of medium height and spoke in a lazy voice, as if he didn't care much about anything.

He Lanchan, who was recognized as a talented person and ranked among the top ten in Dongxia, was completely ignored.

"My mother said that a teacher should impart knowledge and solve problems. Uncle, you solve my problems and teach me the way to progress. That's my teacher."

The white-haired boy was very stubborn and followed the man in black closely.

"Don't give me that crap. Can any Tom, Dick or Harry be my student? Take a piss and look at yourself. What's so special about you? Except for this eye-catching white hair."

The man in black said disdainfully.

"I'm pretty cute, teacher. When I used to collect trash, the scrapyard owner was always willing to give me more and even let me stay for dinner."

The white-haired boy chuckled, a little shy.

"Get lost! I hate this little cute brat the most!"

The man in black kept moving forward, and the white-haired boy followed closely.

They have been to many places, including the vast Gobi Desert with yellow sand, active volcanoes erupting magma, and the endless water world that seemed to be filled with the ocean.

"Teacher, I can't just call you teacher all the time. You have to tell me what your name is."

One day, the white-haired boy, who had grown up a lot, said.

"I never agreed to be your teacher, you little brat. You're the one who's been pestering me. You're more troublesome than any woman I've slept with."

The man in black still spoke directly. He was silent for a long time, and finally said:
"My surname is Qin."

He Lanchan’s teacher’s surname is Qin?
Which Qin?
Doubts arose in Qin Shi’s mind.

The surname Qin in Dongxia is like the countless grains of sand in the vast sea of ​​stars.

The most prosperous and well-known among them is naturally Qin Shuai's Qin.

As for the so-called Qin family of Yancheng, they are the pioneers of the central city.

Compared to Qin Shuai, who has supported the Dongxia Republic for thousands of years and illuminated thirty-four administrative districts, he is completely insignificant, like the difference between a bright moon and a firefly, or a real dragon or a bird.

The feeling of spiritual resonance gradually faded, became intermittent, and the picture disappeared.

The last time they met, He Lanchan was already a young man. Judging from his age, it should be before he won the Star Cup.

He knelt at the door, looking firmly at the man in black who seemed to never age.

"Teacher, I just want justice for you."

"Please give me a shit! From the oldest empire to the new era established by the nine commanders, there has never been such a thing!"

The man in black cursed as if he was disappointed with his friend:
"You are no longer the white-haired ghost who picked up garbage. Go make a name for yourself, find a wife, and have some big fat babies. There is no need to worry about a lonely ghost like me."

He Lanchan straightened his back and placed his hands on his knees:

"They say you are a traitor and a traitor who wants to tear the galaxy apart..."

The man in black revealed his true face for the first time, allowing Qin Shi to see it clearly.

It was a very ordinary face, with only thick eyebrows and a dull look in the eyes.

He raised a strange smile and said to He Lanchan:
"What if it's true? As everyone knows, my brother is the Marshal of Dongxia, who is a great figure in the galaxy. He has a far-sighted vision throughout his life, and he is so right. If he believes that his brother is the sinner of Dongxia, then where can you find the justice you seek?"

He Lanchan remained silent.

The man in black continued:
“The Dongxia Republic has gone through nine thousand years. Even if one is as strong as a martial god, he still needs to go through a long sleep to maintain the last bit of vitality and ensure that this country shines under their glory. But I have been walking among the stars for seven thousand years!”

He Lanchan raised his head abruptly, his tone still as firm as before, and he said with full confidence:

"The teacher is definitely not that kind of person!"

The man in black sighed:
"Why say such foolish things? I have traveled to every corner of the galaxy, and I understand one truth more and more. Be it heroes, heroes, or even those high-ranking gods and pillars, they cannot do whatever they want. Why do gods need spokespersons? Do they need the faith of tiny individuals? When you occupy a certain path in the universe and reach the top, the influence you have will only grow.

All your actions are no longer based on your preferences or pursuits, but only depend on the position you are in. Even my great brother is no exception."

The man in black's tone turned tired, and he continued:

"It's actually very boring. There are too many stories in the starry sea. No matter how magnificent and dramatic they are, if you look at them on a scale of 10,000 years, they are not new after all. So, kid, walk that ancient heavenly road well, then become a martial god and live a good life comfortably for a thousand years.

Your personality is actually not to my liking, including your opponent, Qi Wuxiang. You always want to live your life as some kind of legend, but I naturally hate all words related to "greatness", "glory" and "justice".

Therefore, I don’t need anyone to vindicate me, let alone overturn my case. It’s not that bad to be an ambitious person in history books or a long-lasting villain in film and television dramas.”

He Lanchan, who was kneeling at the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked a sharp and merciless question:
"Can the Fourth Regiment be as indifferent as you, Teacher? They once forged the red sword flag with blood and fire. Those who followed you in the past suffered injustice until their death. None of their names will appear on the 3.9 billion tombstones on the Cemetery Planet, because they are not heroes, not martyrs, but rebels."

The man in black fell into a long silence.

"I left the item at the end of the ancient Heavenly Road. If you want it, take it yourself. But I have to remind you that it is indeed a dangerous item that can tear Dongxia apart, and even the Milky Way. The marshals who hope to become great or gods will not allow you to exist."

This is the end of the conversation between the teacher and the student.

Qin Shi was confused after hearing this. He looked at Super Xiao He who was sitting cross-legged calmly under the tree.

The latter had a blank expression on his face, as if he had absolutely no idea.

"He Lanchan's teacher turned out to be the deputy commander who left a reputation as the number one traitor in history books."

Qin Shi wondered how he had managed to survive such a long period of nearly ten thousand years.

Even the God of War cannot withstand the onslaught of time!
He thought silently for a while, and finally felt that as the son of a worker in Hengzhou Jiuchang Street, there was really no need for him to worry about things that were too far away.

"He Lanchan's "Void Meditation Method" is actually so useful. It is a perfect match with the legendary talent "Steel of Heart." Qin Shi comprehended the dragon and snake characters that glowed with golden light. His mental strength continued to condense, as if it shrank into a core, vaguely interweaving into an ancient altar. The upper-level dependent snake mother who was originally forcibly detained suddenly showed fear.

Qin Shi immediately sensed the strong emotions. He showed a look of surprise and tried to move the altar condensed by the "Void Meditation Method" towards the Snake Mother.

The latter screamed, and then his body began to collapse, and wisps of his spirit turned into drifting green smoke and poured into the altar.

"what's going on?"

Qin Shi looked at Super Xiao He again.

"The fundamental idea of ​​the Void Meditation Method is to regard one's own mind as the 'root' of the vast universe. After breaking through to the first level, one can condense the Void Altar and refine all things that are 'not me'."

Super Xiao He explained.

Qin Shi was somewhat shocked:

"So domineering! Everything that's not me is firewood?!"

Super Xiao He nodded:
"So the risk factor of cultivation is also very high. If your mind is not 'self-centered' enough, it will backfire and the consequences will be extremely serious.

Fortunately, this snake mother poses no threat, and the creatures in the netherworld are often "selfless" and are naturally restrained. "

Qin Shi felt the empty altar, which was like a black hole, madly drawing out his mental power, turning it into wisps of flames that burned the snake mother.

One golden word after another spun rapidly, as if the wind was fanning the fire and helping with the refining process.

Not long after, the Snake Mother completely disintegrated, leaving only a ball of pure light floating on the altar.

"You have two choices. You can absorb it, but your current state of mind is just meditation, which is far from being strong enough. Not only will it take a long time and energy, but it will also affect you."

Super Xiao He suggested:

“It is best to use it as nourishment for your inner world, to expand your thinking space.”

Qin Shi thought about it carefully for a moment and felt that it made sense. He had already gained a lot from the Snake Mother through the [Steel of Heart], and his mental strength continued to increase.

That ball of pure light that looks like a tonic is more suitable for nourishing the inner scene. Only when the thinking space is more solid, will the spiritual resonance be smoother in the future.

The void altar was put away, and the pure light merged into the inner scene. The space that was originally several feet square expanded outward, and it was nearly seventy or eighty square meters in size.

As the snake mother was refined, wisps of mist-like spiritual power turned golden and floated in the mind.

The power of the mind is enhanced again, and the strength of penetrating objects and interfering with reality has reached a new level.

"The sign of a spiritual state of great accomplishment is 'control of things'."

Qin Shi opened his eyes, a brilliant golden light flashed in his eyes, and his mental power was like a silk thread, quickly locking onto the water cup on the low table, as if extending his limbs, grasping it and picking it up.

It was a little shaky at first, but after repeated practice, it gradually became stable.

Even more sophisticated operations can be performed, such as using mental power to wrap a ball of liquid to prevent it from scattering.

"Once I use my mental power as a kind of 'wave', I can form 'thoughts', and then condense the mental vision and break through to the Saint Embryo stage."

Qin Shi took a deep breath. He had obtained the "Void Meditation Method" for a while. This inheritance was the most difficult method of practice he had ever encountered. Like the Nanhuang Taoist Temple's Self-cultivation Furnace and Hong Sheng's Hundred Phases Refining Technique, he quickly got started and broke through to the next level.

Only the Void Meditation Method progressed slowly, and it was only today that it reached the first level and condensed the Void Altar.

"According to Super Xiao He, the Void Meditation Method is divided into seven levels. The first level is the Void Altar, which refines things that are not mine. The second level is the Void Ancient Mirror, which imprints the scenery outside the body. The third level becomes the Void Furnace, which forges the image of the original mind... until the seventh level, the Void Divine Ring blesses, and the mind covers the planet's magnetic field, leveraging infinite dimensions."

Qin Shi sighed, he had just taken the first step, and was estimated to be 180,000 light years away from He Lanchan's complete form.

"He Lanchan said he wanted to overturn his teacher's verdict, but from the records of later generations, Dongxia did not rehabilitate the deputy commander, and the Fourth Regiment...did not seem to get justice either. What kind of secret could prevent one of the leaders of the first generation of the Ten Greatest Warriors from touching it?"

As he recalled what he had seen and heard during the spiritual resonance, a ripple of curiosity arose in his heart, but it was fleeting and did not last long.

Gently loosening his hand, the priceless Mingshen Jade dimmed a little, apparently losing some of its effectiveness.

"One hundred and fifty million is gone just like that. Cultivation resources are really expensive. No wonder the geniuses of the new generation will sign contracts with big companies, or even giant companies in the star sea. Without the supply of superpowers, the road to the final destination of the path is indeed too difficult to walk."

Qin Shi thought, at present, Nanhuang Taoist Hall represents Hengzhou Martial Arts Association, Lao Chen represents Tai'an Inspection Department, and Lin Yunqing is a private investor.

He already has three angel investors who provide help in terms of inheritance, resources, and other channels.

……

……

"How have you considered it? This is an unprecedented large project. Dongxia's financial sector launches countless products every year, but this is the only chance to bet on the future God of War!"

On the first floor of the villa, Lin Yunqing was lying on the sofa, revealing her two plump long legs, and said in an excited voice:
"Assistant Instructor Xiao Qin, after being certified by Uncle Chen, the Nanhuang Dojo, the number one old martial arts school in Hengzhou, and my Dharma Eye, he is definitely a martial god!

I tell you, if it weren't for the deep sisterly love, I wouldn't waste so much time talking to you!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of a mature and charming woman, who said with a smile:

"I've read the reports you sent me before and after. You are indeed a potential seed that will stand out in the Star Cup. But we have just signed contracts with several talented teenagers who have already broken through the professional level. They are all A-level. It is difficult to give them an A-level contract with full resources in a short period of time. Can you accept a B-level contract?"

Lin Yunqing's expression was stiff, and then he said unhappily:
"The difference between B-level and A-level is too big. Assistant Instructor Xiao Qin is taking the old martial arts limit-breaking route. The duration of cosmic skylight exposure and the professional-level diet, these benefits of the A-level contract must be guaranteed."

The mature female voice on the other end of the phone shook her head and said:

“The selection for the junior group of the Star Cup has already begun, but the little guy you have chosen has not yet entered the process and there is no such person.

Any Star Ocean giant enterprise that chooses to invest needs a standard. If it does not meet the standard, it is difficult for me to decide to provide an A-level contract. Even for big forces like United Pharmaceuticals, Ziwei Giant Enterprises, and Tomorrow Group, the A-level contracts they can offer will not exceed ten per year. "

Lin Yunqing snorted:

"So these big forces always miss out on the chance to challenge the God of War. Just wait, it won't be long before Assistant Qin will appear in the first rank of Dongxia!"

She hung up the phone with a frown on her face. After spending the 150 million yuan in sponsorship, she would need to find a new angel investor.
