Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 440 Intercommunication

Among the many trials, two were particularly suitable for Zhou Leng.

One type is the "Demon Spirit Resistance Trial".

This trial is primarily used to train demon warriors.

The entire body is constantly subjected to dense but slight attacks of magical magic, while the martial artist's body possesses great plasticity.

As the body continuously withstands attacks and repairs itself, it gains greater resistance to all types of magical power.

This is similar to the resistance training and desensitization training commonly found in martial arts.

The other is the trial of the "Lake of the Spirit".

The entire lake contains immense power that can continuously repair one's mental strength or martial will.

At the same time, the lakebed is littered with the remains of demigods, which will unleash continuous mental attacks.

Through constant attacks and repairs, the martial will becomes purer and increases rapidly.

Both of these are unique trial grounds in the world of demons, so Zhou Leng simply lived in the Great Demon Tower for a long time, constantly honing himself.

While cultivating his martial arts will, Zhou Leng also made sure to take Bone Forging Pills every day.

White cinnabar damages bones, while red cinnabar repairs them.

The strange thing is that while others can damage their bones by eating just one pill, Zhou Leng has to eat a full ten pills before his bones show normal damage.

Then, there's no need to take the red pills that repair bones later; the bones heal themselves.

I tried taking red lead, but it didn't work because my bones were completely intact.

Before long, all four hundred white pills were consumed.

Zhou Leng compared his progress with others and found that it was roughly equivalent to a normal Bone Forging stage cultivator consuming forty pills.

All that remained were red pills scattered all over the ground.

Zhou Leng felt a deep sense of absurdity.

It's like having two feet, one is the left foot, and the other is also the left foot.

Every time I buy shoes, I have to buy two pairs, wear two, and throw the other two away.

Fortunately, red lead can be sold as a medicine for treating bones.

But how do I buy Bone Forging Pills next?

Do I have to pay double the price to buy it?

Forget it, I'll go back and find Wang Boxiong and see if he can make a special exception for some Bai Dan.

As for the quantity of white pills...

I endured it; what can I do when my bones are too strong?

Unsurprisingly, Shanheyuan was also a sucker, spending billions just on the Bone Forging Pills.

"Perhaps Zhang Xinglie is the same; his early cultivation speed of the Mountain-Slaying Battle Body is faster than that of the Undying Star Body."

Zhou Leng felt psychologically at peace.

After entering the Lake of Spirit once again and cultivating for a full day and night, Zhou Leng stepped out of the lake and headed towards the exit.

After walking a few steps, several human martial artists came towards them.

The two sides met face to face and were both taken aback.

"Zhou Leng?"

“Young Master Zhao,” Zhou Leng said.

The guards around Zhao He looked at Zhou Leng in surprise.

They had seen Zhou Leng in the Treeman World before. He was a martial artist from a remote city. It was already rare for him to be able to cultivate under the Tree of Life. How could he also enter the Spirit Lake of the Demon Spirit World?

The Lake of Spirits is a high-level training ground in the world of demons.

With so many forces on Earth, there are at most only one hundred slots available each year, and each person can only cultivate for three days a year.

It is often contested by grandmasters, and it is almost impossible for innate masters to enter here.

"You cultivate in the Lake of Spirit?" Zhao He asked.

"Ah."

"How did you obtain the qualification to cultivate in the Lake of Spirit? I..." Zhao He asked with great curiosity, "I paid a huge price and relied on my grandfather's connections to get this qualification. I didn't even manage to snag one of the hundred spots available on Blue Star this year."

Zhou Leng said, "I served as a demon spirit assistant and participated in a demon spirit trial. I was lucky enough to qualify."

"How many days can you cultivate?"

Zhou Leng thought to himself, "This trial has restrictions? I haven't heard of that."

He mumbled, "I'm not too sure either, but I estimate it won't take more than a few days."

Zhao He said, "You even qualified for the Lake of Spirit. In the future, when you have such top-level resources, you must share them with others. By the way, you haven't been to Xiongjing for long since you advanced to the Innate Realm, right? Don't forget to visit the Relics Museum. It's no worse than the Innate Mountain."

"When I get back to China, I'll go to the National Museum of Archaeology and Relics."

"If you want to stay a few more days, just contact me. Everything is negotiable except for the VIP exhibition hall qualification. Okay, I'm going in now. We'll talk later."

"We'll talk later."

Both sides separate.

Walking a distance away, Zhao He whispered, "Check his whereabouts in the Demon Spirit World."

"Yes."

After cultivating for 12 hours, Zhao He stepped out of the Lake of Spirit. His attendant approached and reported in a low voice.

"Current indications suggest that Zhou Leng has entered the Ancient Spirit Path, which is translated as 'Zhou Tian Ji Han'."

“Strangely, he came in first on the Ancient Spirit Road. There are many different opinions. Some say he cheated, some say it was a coincidence, and others say he cooperated with Azure Flame and took advantage of a loophole to win.”

"As for the specifics, we can't find out; the Great Court is blocking the news."

"Based on our assessment, Zhou Leng likely received some benefits, but not much. For example, everyone in the top ten of the Ancient Spirit Path received a new demonic spirit, except for him. I suspect it was all bark and no bite. This Spirit Lake is likely compensation from the demonic spirit world." "By the way, he joined the Ice and Snow Cult."

"However, Lou Feiqiong is right. This person is likely to be particularly adept at scheming and taking shortcuts. It's hard to imagine how one person could have so many connections among the tree people, dwarves, giants, and even demon spirits. It's hard to explain without resorting to opportunism; no one can be that lucky."

Zhao He thought for a moment and said, "Without sufficient evidence, we cannot make a judgment about his character."

Lou Feiqiong rarely speaks ill of others. He also said that Zhou Leng is good in some aspects, but not necessarily in others. After all, he comes from an ordinary family and will do anything to improve himself.

Zhao He snorted and said, "If he's ruthless, how many people are truly heinous criminals? How many of the so-called high-ranking families are cleaner than ordinary people? This person must be hiding his strength; he's definitely not someone to be underestimated. It's a pity I didn't have any help in the Tree People World, so I missed the opportunity to befriend him. Next time I have the chance, I'll try to help him."

"Why not just invite him directly? Wouldn't he give you face?"

"These experts are resolute and will not bow down for a pittance. My so-called face-saving or bribery will not sway them at all. We must show them great kindness and treat them with sincerity at the right time and when they need it."

"Your foresight is truly remarkable; I am far inferior to you."

Zhao He said, "It's a pity he's not in Xiongjing, so it's difficult to have any interaction with him. If we try too hard, it won't be good. You two should travel around the Demon Spirit World these few days and see if you can get closer to him there."

"Yes."

Several days passed, and Zhou Leng rarely went out, either cultivating in the Lake of Spirit or returning to his guest room to cultivate.

After Zhao He finished cultivating in the Lake of Spirit, he still couldn't find an opportunity and had to leave.

Stepping out of the Lake of Spirit again, Zhou Leng felt refreshed.

The tower spirit that had previously become the Divine Tower separated one-tenth of its martial will and created a "spiritual clone" within the Divine Tower.

After many days of practice, he finally recovered completely.

After leaving the spiritual lake training ground and returning to his detached villa guest room, Zhou Leng closed his eyes tightly.

It's not about meditating and practicing martial arts, but about connecting one's consciousness with the tower spirit.

The instant he connected with the tower spirit, Zhou Leng's "consciousness" appeared in a separate metal room.

The main door at the front of the room leads to various parts of the tower.

Zhou Leng in the Divine Tower, like the little elf teacher, is only the size of a thumb, with a semi-transparent body, resembling a spirit rather than a physical entity.

A clear divine voice rang out.

"Welcome to the Supreme Tower Sub-Tower."

The demigods and demon mages had heard this sound for half their lives, but they only thought it was beautiful music.

They still cannot understand the pronunciation of the divine script.

At first, Zhou Leng couldn't understand or recognize the 131-stroke divine script that represented the "Supreme Tower".

But as I kept hearing this voice and kept reading information about the Divine Tower, I gradually came to understand.

The Divine Tower is merely a subsidiary tower of the Supreme Tower.

As for what the Supreme Tower is, it is unknown, but based on various divine inscriptions, it is likely a powerful cosmic artifact or an extremely powerful organization.

Based on Cangfeizhiyan's description, I thought the tower spirit attached its martial will to the divine tower.

The demigods had a similar understanding, believing that the Tower Spirit was a power born from the Tower of Gods.

But a few days ago, Zhou Leng explored the entire interior of the Divine Tower, collecting all the divine inscriptions and diagrams inside, and came to a conclusion.

The proper name for a tower spirit should be "spirit clone".

Although I don't understand its specific function, it seems to be used to support the body.

In the written description of the Supreme Tower, the universe is vast.

This immense spatial scale makes the transfer of matter and life extremely inconvenient; only the most powerful individuals can freely travel throughout the vast universe.

But the beings that give birth to the universe need to communicate, so they created spiritual incarnations.

In the description of the Divine Tower, the Divine Tower is mainly a place for cultivating spiritual avatars. Through these spiritual avatars, the gods can do many things.

As for how it is used or what the underlying principles are, the Divine Tower makes no record of it.

However, it seems that one can use a spirit avatar at the lowest level, such as Grandmaster.

Other spirit masters treat the tower spirit as an auxiliary force to their own bodies, squeezing the tower spirit's power to enhance their own bodies.

Zhou Leng, on the other hand, used the method recorded by the Divine Tower to prevent his main body from absorbing the power of his spiritual clone, and continued to strengthen his spiritual clone in preparation for the future.

Strengthening one's spiritual clones will naturally strengthen one's main body, though it will be slower in the short term but faster in the long term.

Within the Divine Tower, there are many cultivation grounds for enhancing spiritual bodies. Zhou Leng instructed his spiritual clones to cultivate step by step.

As for the activities of the demon spirit masters in the Divine Tower, Zhou Leng basically doesn't participate, as it's too much of a waste of time.

During his time in the world of demons, Zhou Leng gradually figured out many of the rules.

The most important rule is the acquisition of magical resources.

Deciphering divine script in the world of demons will earn you "demonic points," which can be used to exchange for cultivation resources.

So Zhou Leng tried to translate four simple passages from the divine script spellbook, and translated them into four lower-level magic spells.

Then, it was anonymously posted in the Hall of Demons through the Tower Book.

The Demon Spirit Hall is equivalent to a martial arts city in humans. It is itself a semi-divine artifact. Demon Spirit Masters at the innate level can purchase artifact copies and the Book of the Hall to discuss and learn in the Demon Spirit Hall.

The Demon Spirit Hall was originally very old and rigid, and extremely difficult to use.

Later, the martial arts city, modeled after Earth, became very popular.

At the beginning, Zhou Leng only obtained 400 basic magic points.

As the masters paid more and more attention, the number of magic points continued to increase.

After that, more and more magic users learned these four magic spells.

After a month of training, I gained more than 2000 magic points.

As these four magical spells are passed down, you will continuously receive rewards of magical points.
