In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 129, The changing winds within the city, breakthroughs in succession.

While turmoil was brewing within the Eight Directions City, the nameless building remained calm and serene.

The flying sword returned with a message and handed the storage ring to Lin Ran.

It circled the two people who were embracing a few times, and finally landed on Lin Ran's lap, its sharp aura subdued.

Lin Ran touched the flying sword, and the sword spirit showed no resistance, even being quite affectionate, which made him feel very strange.

He probed the storage ring with his mental energy, inside which was the sword Linglong that had slaughtered the elves, as well as the resources he had obtained by selling the corpses to Zhao Qingqing.

Lin Ran put the ring on Jian Linglong's finger. This was a resource she had earned herself and did not belong to the team's shared resources.

In addition to the message, Zhao Qingqing also gave him a superb technology terminal used within the Eight Directions City.

Humans are the most numerous among the creatures that have entered the secret realm, and they have brought a lot of technology with them. A regional network has been established in the Eight Directions City, which can also communicate with the army outside the city, but a special terminal is required.

Lin Ran opened the terminal, verified her identity, and obtained high-level privileges.

Then he received a special message from the military outside the city.

Lin Ran activated the Truth Eye Technique, following the spiritual energy structure inside the extraordinary technology terminal, his gaze entered the regional network, searching for communications extending out of the city, taking several minutes to reach the source.

At that moment, he sensed a suspicious gaze coming from within the army.

Lin Ran took the initiative to contact the other party and establish contact.

The other person's face was projected in front of me.

Wow, it's someone I know!

Liu Jun.

Initially, in Lincheng, the cat people and the human people established diplomatic relations. He was the one who led the army as a precaution. He had a brief encounter with the evil god because of the incident, and then his secretary made contact with him.

Lin Ran was surprised, not expecting to see an acquaintance in such a place.

He took the initiative to greet him:

"General Liu, it's been a long time."

"You are... Lin Ran?!"

Liu Jun was shocked. How long had it been? That ordinary student had transformed into a Divine Fire Realm expert!

"It's me, General Liu. Does the army have something important to discuss with me?"

Lin Ran said that he was not familiar with Liu Jun, and that his current status was actually higher than Liu Jun's.

But he was the kind of person who didn't care about status; after the initial surprise, he was just another stranger he'd run into.

Liu Jun came to his senses, his expression somewhat complicated. The news that Lin had taken on a disciple had already spread among the extraordinary individuals, but he hadn't expected it to be the person in front of him.

"Yes, that's right. It's an instruction from a member of parliament."

"We demand the capture of Bafang City, the core inheritance, and the elimination of all alien races."

"The councilor intends to merge this realm into the human race's mother realm, so that the mother realm can become powerful again."

"Is that so... I've been thinking about this too, General Liu, are there any specific arrangements?"

Lin Ran thought for a moment and then asked.

Afterwards, he exchanged views with Liu Jun about the arrangements after the core inheritance competition began, and then lost contact with him.

Liu Jun couldn't help but sigh, realizing that it had taken him decades to reach the Divine Fire Realm.

The difference between people can sometimes be greater than the difference between a person and a dog!

……

Time passed slowly.

The city of Bafang has changed from its previous mild state to become very lively, except for a few areas.

Humans, Cat People, Elves, Werewolves, Fire Spirits, Ice Spirits, Crystals, Winged People, Soul People

And recently, a new type of mechanical life has emerged, calling itself the Machine Race.

There were ten races in total, and they were fighting fiercely in the city!

If you look down on Bafang City from the air, you can see a few buildings besides the core heritage area.

The remaining area was covered by chaotic spiritual energy, all caused by the chaotic fluctuations of the battle.

Every moment, living beings die, and at the same time, living beings from the outside world join in.

After making an agreement with Lin Ran, Liu Jun reported the news. After some "theory" by the extraordinary individuals from various races, the random teleportation in the secret realm was changed to fixed-point teleportation, with the location being Bafang City.

As a result, the chaos intensified, and even a few buildings were inevitably drawn into the melee.

The only exception was a building that looked quite ordinary.

It only activated a third-tier energy shield, and a flying sword with a born sword spirit lay lazily on the shield, which deterred countless alien races from approaching, making the vicinity a temporary resting place for humans.

Many people attempted to visit during this period, but were all turned away.

Anyone who shows the slightest dissatisfaction will be driven away by the flying sword, and if they offend again, they will be shown no mercy.

Therefore, although there are humans living here, their numbers are not large.

And not everyone needs help from others.

Currently, this secret realm is the most popular spot in the Human Alliance, with both ordinary cultivators and elite program members appearing in large numbers in the city.

If it weren't for the forced alliance of the alien races, they would probably have been devoured by the human race by now.

The fifth day after the chaos began.

Lin Ran awoke from her cultivation and sensed that a cultivation room was emanating the aura of the Divine Fire Realm.

He waved his hand, setting up a spiritual shield to block the fluctuating aura and prevent it from affecting others.

The one who broke through was Yan Lingfei, probably with the help of the Yan Emperor's Death Arena.

For an Awakened One to break through to the Divine Fire Realm, two things are necessary: ​​first, to improve the quality of spiritual energy; and second, to establish a spiritual energy model.

Yan Lingfei naturally possessed one advantage, so it's not surprising that she was the first to break through.

【Soul Nourishing Technique - Fourth Level LV1→LV2: 96/1000】

【Four Pillars of Destiny Method - Fourth Level LV1→LV2: 96/1000】

Soon, Yan Lingfei's breathing stabilized, and Lin Ran removed the spiritual shield.

About two hours later, an aura reappeared in the cultivation room, and at the same time, the same aura appeared in another cultivation room.

One is blazing hot, the other is dark and gloomy.

The scorching heat is like the bamboo in the clouds, and the gloom is like the rain in the dream.

Lin Ran raised her hand and set up two layers of spiritual shields.

One day later, Ling Qiqi broke through.

Two days later, Zhou Yu, Nangong Yu, and Xing Luo all broke through to the next level.

When Jian Linglong condensed her sword spirit, she was already equivalent to a cultivator in the Divine Fire Realm. The sword path realm is divided in a special way, which is different from the normal spiritual energy path.

Finally, there was the Spirit Master, whose breakthrough was barely noticeable.

Lin Ran took the initiative to investigate and discovered that she had quietly broken through to the fourth level.

At this point, everyone in the team had reached the Divine Fire Realm/Tier 4!

Lin Ran, in the cultivation room, looked towards the center of the Eight Directions City. Using spiritual energy as a medium, her gaze passed through the swirling space and she saw the scene.

With the two peripheral inheritances, the number of trial participants queuing up has decreased by eight or nine tenths, with only a small number of beings still in line.

They seem to have reached some kind of agreement, with each race forming a team, and they are very close to each other, with almost no communication.

Each race had one participant in the trial, but none of them had yet received the inheritance.

The core heritage remains covered by a spiritual energy shield, with no other movement observed.

On the circular plaza, with the tacit approval of the human race's high command and the transmission of secret instructions, the alien race successfully established the formation and reached about 70-80% completion.

It is estimated that the finishing touches and corrections will be completed in about half a month. Some alien races have even been secretly belittling the human race and mocking them for not understanding the formation.

After observing for a while, someone approached from outside the door.

Lin Ran withdrew her gaze.

"Captain, may I go in?"

"Come in."
