The next morning, Ji Zhao changed into a flashy green gradient robe and came to the statue of Wu'an Gong to wait for Liu Hanying... The latter did not let him wait long, and after about half an incense stick of time, he came over with the luggage.

"You got up very early, Minghui." Liu Hanying said, her eyes swept over Ji Zhao, her tone a little subtle, "By the way, your clothes... are quite unique."

Ji Zhao, who was he? He said calmly, "I traveled with Master Qiu this time and crossed half of Shenzhou. I saw the customs and habits of many places and became interested in some clothes. So I asked someone to make two sets. What do you think, Pavilion Master?"

"Hmm... a little too conspicuous." Liu Hanying smiled softly, "But it's pleasing to the eye, Minghui, just choose what you like."

He said, and added: "You have brought everything, do you want to confirm it again?"

"No need." Ji Zhao shook his head. "I don't have much luggage, it won't be wrong."

"Then, let's set off."

Liu Hanying didn't say anything more and went down the mountain with Ji Zhao.

The two's destination this time was Kaihe Prefecture in Lizhou, which was some distance away from Luohe Pavilion. It would take about half a month to get there by horse or boat.

On the way, Liu Hanying introduced Ji Zhao to Mr. Wang. His surname was Wang. He was born in a poor family. His father died early and his mother raised him alone. His given name was Li, which means to stand tall and upright. He studied hard for ten years and finally became a famous scholar in Lizhou. He shined after taking the imperial examination, but because of his anti-Ning political stance, he was never valued. After his mother passed away, Wang Li had nothing to worry about, so he gave up his official position and writing to join the army.

The amazing thing is that he had some talent in martial arts, and eventually he became a warrior with excellent martial arts skills.

Later, in the eighth year of Xuande, he and seven like-minded friends sneaked into Ningguo and tried to assassinate Ningguo’s great ruler Feng Ji?... This idea was excellent, but, Feng Ji? Who was she?

The best master in the world!

Volume 4: The 56th Chapter: The Fourth Peak

The warriors in the biographies of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Books are divided into seven lower levels, seven middle levels, seven upper levels, and three ultimate levels.

This is actually not difficult to understand. As we all know, cricket fighting is a major hobby of human beings. No matter whether it is fighting electronic crickets or fighting crickets against historical figures, the meaning is that after people are full, they always have to do something to consume their energy and satisfy their spiritual needs at the same time.

Moreover, among the warriors listed in the Twenty-Four Heavenly Books, there are indeed many who are not on the same level... For example, Duke Wu'an Wei Huo, known as the best warrior throughout the ages. Can any other warrior in the Twenty-Four Heavenly Books be able to compete with him?

Obviously not.

Even if teamwork is important and the difference in individual strength is not that obvious, teammates who worked together to win the championship will be divided into the top champion to the fifth champion by some people. What's more, it would be strange if there were no classification when there is a clear gap in individual strength.

So, there was such a classification...seven lower positions, seven middle positions, seven upper positions, and three top positions.

When Feng Ji was born, the list of warriors in the twenty-four heavenly books was already full, leaving no space for him. But even so, he was still called this...

'The fourth peak'.

Why are Ning people so good at fighting?

What Han Yi said to Han Jie that day actually explained the matter from many aspects, but there was still one point he did not make clear, that is, "an extremely powerful and charismatic real and spiritual leader."

Feng Ji?, when he was born, Ningguo was just a savage tribe, struggling to survive between Fengguo and Guren. The Yan Kingdom in the south was a mysterious ancient country that the Ning people dared not even think about. The greatest wish of every Ning person was not to have enough food, but to not starve to death. Now he was sixty-five years old. The territory of Ningguo was 4.3 million square kilometers. It was the world's number one military power. If we did not consider issues such as transportation and logistics, and only considered combat power, even if all the soldiers in the world except Yan Kingdom were tied together and put on the plains, they would still be treated as wild monsters by Ningguo.

The person who created all this was Feng Ji?, the most dominant warrior in the world. Many people had heard of Wei Huo's name, but had never witnessed the strength of this Duke of Wu'an. However, Feng Ji? was different. His ghostly demeanor was still deeply imprinted in the minds of countless people.

Wang Li and his seven like-minded friends certainly have some strength, but they want to assassinate Feng Ji?... The difficulty is like asking a newbie in fighting to defeat Ji Zhao in a life-and-death situation. It is not a question of whether it is difficult or not, it is simply a dream.

As expected, Wang Li failed, and five of the seven friends who went with him died. Only Wang Li and the other two escaped back to Yan State in a panic... This assassination almost exhausted all of Wang Li's energy. After returning to Yan State, he fell seriously ill, his hair turned white overnight, and he was almost useless. It was not until Qi Su ascended the throne that he was injected with new vitality. He began to try to maintain peace in the Central Plains martial arts world as much as possible, just like Luohe Pavilion, so that the official in the north could concentrate on the Northern Expedition.

However, the Luohe Pavilion can act as the police of the martial arts world because Wu'an Gong Wei Huo and the leaders of almost all the martial arts sects at that time swore an oath to Luohe. In other words, the "law enforcement power" of Luohe Pavilion is tacitly recognized by the entire martial arts world. Anyone who disagrees would be making things difficult for the ancestors of his own sect, but as for Wang Li...to put it bluntly, who is he?

You are neither good at literature nor martial arts, and you still want to meddle in our affairs?

This was a thankless task, but Wang Li was a stubborn person who never gave up and was unwilling to make adjustments. As a result, his relationships with many martial artists were strained. When he was alive, those people were afraid of his powerful force that could break out of the Ningguo Palace, so they didn't dare to do anything. But with his death...

It can only be said that Wang Li's character had some problems to a certain extent. He did not know how to save face for others, and his way of handling things was too rough and arrogant, so that after his death, he left a lot of troubles for his family.

However, a flawed warrior is still a warrior after all, and a perfect fly is still just a fly after all. If you can't even figure this out, it would be a laughing stock.

"So..." After listening to Liu Hanying's words, Ji Zhao seemed to be thinking, "Is the Pavilion Master going to stand up for the old scholar Wang to scare away those villains?"

"Good." Liu Hanying nodded slightly, "That's exactly what I meant... In this matter, except for me, the others who go there are not strong enough and may not be able to suppress that group of people."

————In fact, if Xiaoyao Feng went there, he would definitely be able to suppress him, but if this person went there, it would not be as simple as 'suppressing' or 'scare off' him.

However, Ji Zhao felt a little strange. The reason why Liu Hanying raised this flag... Although he knew that Liu Hanying was the world-famous leader of Luohe Pavilion, and there were only a few people in the world who could rival him, and among them, there should not be many who would be so mean and bored as to disrupt other people's funerals, but... who can say for sure.

"Oh right..." Liu Hanying didn't know what he was thinking of. "During this trip, we will pass by Dengshen Mountain. I have made some breakthroughs recently and would like to go there to hone my skills. Minghui, are you interested?"

Climb up the Divine Mountain, where the Twelve Heavenly Gates of Eternity are located. The wonderful game setting that has been 'realized' by the mirror allows warriors to travel through time and fight with warriors who left their inner breath here in the past... It is also the best place for mid- to high-level warriors to hone their fighting physique.

After all, if you lose a fight in reality, you will lose your life. Even if it is a competition between peers, if you accidentally fail to control the strength well, you will have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month. It is not like a heavenly barrier. Even if you lose, it’s no big deal. You can also hone your fighting physique. It is simply a perfect place to level up.

Unfortunately, not everyone can challenge the Tianguan. In the "game", it is set that players must have an item called "Tianguan Rumeng Ling" to challenge the Tianguan, and this item is consumable. As for the principle behind it, the game does not explain it in detail, it is just a convention anyway.

After being made real by the mirror, the 'setting' becomes that a warrior needs to complete resonance with the inner breath of the Tianguan Stone in order to challenge the Tianguan. However, the difficulty of completing the resonance is like asking an ordinary person to press a timer that is accurate to ten decimal places and then stops at an integer... Therefore, almost no warrior can complete the resonance on his own and can only rely on the Tianguan Ru Meng Ling to challenge the Tianguan.

"Heavenly Gate..." Ji Zhao was indeed interested in this thing. "There shouldn't be a warrior in the world who is not interested in three days. I also want to go and see it."

Volume 4: The 57th Chapter: The Twelve Heavenly Gates of Eternity

Climb the sacred mountain.

Just by hearing the name, one would probably think that this is a majestic and famous mountain, but in fact it is not the case. Dengshen Mountain is very ordinary. If it were not for the Tianguan Stone located here, it would not even have a mountain name, let alone such a domineering name as "Dengshen".

Ascending to the gods refers to the twelve eternal gates of heaven. If a person can fight to the end and break through the gates, he is ascending to the gods. The key point lies in the word "god".

Secondly, it refers to honing one's physique for fighting and strengthening oneself. The key point is the word "登", which can be understood as improvement.

Ji Zhao followed Liu Hanying to climb Dengshen Mountain. On the top of the mountain was a huge stone. It was pitch black and square. Its material looked like copper but not copper, and like iron but not iron. No one could tell what it was.

Throughout the ages, many warriors have tried to study the Tianguan Stone, but no one has ever succeeded. So far, no one has even been able to damage the Tianguan Stone in the slightest.

Ji Zhao saw it.

【Tianguan Stone】

[You can open the special challenge copy of the Eternal Twelve Heavens. If you have special props, you can also simulate other special plot battles.]

[Requirements for the Eternal Twelve Heavenly Gates Challenge (one of them will suffice): Heavenly Gate Dream Order/possessing lv9 Comprehension/possessing the unique characteristic 'Extreme Precision'/possessing the unique characteristic 'Resonance of All Laws']

(Witness the might of the ancient heroes...)

Ji Zhao was not surprised by what he saw, the Twelve Eternal Gates were clearly special settings in the game, and there must be corresponding data.

[“However, it’s quite strange to see the settings in the game become real…”]

Ji Zhao thought.

Many settings are normal in games and everyone is familiar with them, but if they are applied to reality, they are nonsense no matter how you look at it.

For example, many games have the setting of using props to restore health, and it is normal to eat a beggar's chicken in a battle, but in reality, it is like taking out a beggar's chicken that has been stored for several days, months or years from a package, and then eating it in the middle of a fierce battle... The picture is more than abstract. I don't know how much effort it will take for Jing to restore this setting.

Furthermore, there are endless stories about running from Mobei to the East China Sea in one day, carrying backpacks weighing dozens or even hundreds of tons, etc.

"Minghui, do you want to try it?" Liu Hanying took out a small medicine bottle from her arms. She thought it contained the Heavenly Gate Rumeng Order. "Experiencing the Heavenly Gate will be beneficial to your future practice."

Ji Zhao was also really interested in the Twelve Gates of Eternal Heaven, and immediately agreed: "Thank you, Pavilion Master. I won't be polite then."

Liu Hanying opened the medicine bottle and poured a pill for Ji Zhao.

【Tianguan Rumeng Ling】: A special item used to challenge Tianguan.

(Like a dream or an illusion...)

"After taking the Ru Meng Ling, place your hand against the Tianguan Stone and carefully feel the fluctuations of the internal energy." Liu Hanying gave a few instructions, "The Ru Meng Ling will help you find that feeling. Just calm your mind."

Ji Zhao responded, took the Tianguan Rumeng Order, then closed his eyes and began to carefully feel the internal fluctuations of the Tianguan Stone.

......

......

An extremely empty feeling enveloped Ji Zhao, as if he was floating in the sea at night. It was pitch black all around and he could only go with the flow.

I don’t know how long it took, but a little light appeared in the distance, and soon illuminated the whole world like the rising morning light... A pure white world, so clean that it made people feel that the production team had no money to make anything.

Clang...!

Suddenly, there was a fierce sound of metal clashing, and a man with naked upper body and a hideous scar on his face appeared in front of Ji Zhao... Ji Zhao took a look and was a little surprised. He had seen the portrait of this man before. He was a wanted criminal in Qingzhou named Xu Feng. It was said that he had a conflict with Liu Wei in the mountain stronghold in his early years. Although he failed, he did not lose his life. Unexpectedly, this man also left an image in Tianguan.

At this moment, Ji Zhao saw this person's panel.

【Comprehensive assessment: Extremely C (C)】

The panels of these warriors who came from the casual cultivation background have one thing in common, that is, the level of their 'innateness' is very low. Be it Liu Wei or Xu Feng, their innate levels are ridiculously low. With their strength, it would not be surprising if their innateness is only lv3 or lv4. It can only be said that they are somewhat lacking in theoretical knowledge.

This is also the disadvantage of not having a master, you have to figure everything out on your own.

[“What does the “Bing” after “Bingji” mean? Could it be…”]

Ji Zhao recalled a rumor... Although the Tianguan Stone recorded the images of the warriors and reproduced their battle scenes through its miraculous abilities, fundamentally, it was not the warriors themselves, but just a cold shadow. It was impossible to expect them to exert their original strength. Whether it was the control of internal energy or their performance in combat, they would inevitably be far inferior to the real ones.

"That is to say, the evaluation in the brackets refers to their performance in the Heavenly Gate Illusion, and the one in front refers to their true strength."

While Ji Zhao was lost in thought, Xu Feng had already pounced on him, but there was always a hint of stiffness in his movements.

Although Ji Zhao's internal strength is still shallow, his physical fitness has been greatly improved after triggering the duel and martial arts. In addition, this is the Tianguan Illusion, where warriors don't have to worry about the state of their meridians and injuries, so they can fight wildly and without restraint. For Ji Zhao, who is good at risking his life and close combat, these two are great news. He immediately rushed forward with two spears in his backhand.

Swish!

But there was a crisp collision sound. As the two sides collided, the two spears in Ji Zhao's right hand were knocked away. In contrast, the short spear in his left hand had already pierced into Xu Feng's throat... killing him in one move.

In fact, the power gap between the two sides was not so big that Ji Zhao could kill the opponent with one blow. In fact, if Gu Qu was used to control Ji Zhao, she might be defeated by Xu Feng within three moves. The reason why this result was achieved now was the result of multiple reasons. After all, at the level of Class C, her internal energy had not yet reached the point where it could be penetrated as desired. In terms of defense, without armor, it was not much higher than that of ordinary warriors. If she was caught in a flaw, it was common to be killed instantly. However, usually, this kind of instant kill occurred when the superior was against the inferior. It was rare for someone like Ji Zhao to kill the superior instantly by committing the crime of committing the crime of committing the crime of committing the crime of committing the crime of committing the crime of committing the crime of committing the crime of committing the crime of committing the crime of committing the crime of

Volume 4: The 58th Chapter: The First Battle at the Heavenly Gate

The first level did not cause much trouble to Ji Zhao, because of Tianguan's terrible performance, he killed him instantly with one encounter.

After a few breaths, Xu Feng's figure turned into millions of light spots... However, these light spots did not dissipate, but began to condense again. In just a few breaths, they condensed into another human shape.

Ji Zhao quickly stepped forward to pick up the two spears, then immediately distanced himself and got ready. In fact, if he wanted to win, he should get close to the opponent at this moment. However, this kind of battle would be meaningless for honing his fighting physique even if he won it by sneak attack. It would be better to observe the mystery behind it.

Not long after, the second figure condensed. It was a woman Ji Zhao did not recognize. There was a series of question marks behind the character column. Her original strength was below B, but when it came to Tianguan, she was only C. And considering Tianguan's operation, her actual combat strength was probably even lower.

If they met in reality, Ji Zhao would not be her opponent. However, with the Scarlet God Robe that enhanced his agility, he could escape without any problem as long as the terrain was not an endless plain without any shelter. But since they were in the Heavenly Gate Illusionary Realm, the opponent was still being beaten by this sluggish AI...

Ji Zhao clenched his two spears and rushed forward. With the experience from the previous time, he was now more familiar with the operation of Tianguan and was able to fight with ease. In just three or four moves, he found the opponent's weakness and pierced through the opponent's body, thus deciding the winner.

The woman's figure quickly turned into a point of light and disappeared.

Not long after, the figure of the next warrior was condensed, and his original strength was actually improved to a higher level, reaching Level B. This is already a very standard first-class master. Looking at the whole state, he is more or less a figure. Ji Zhao estimated that the younger masters such as Mo Yu and Han Gongqiu are at this level.

This was a level that Ji Zhao was completely unable to contend with in reality, but in the Tianguan illusion, the situation was completely different. Ji Zhao fought with this man for a while, and all of Hongyue's internal energy exploded. Finally, he found the right opportunity and relied on his understanding of Tianguan's AI to deliberately reveal a non-fatal flaw to lure him to attack.

If this hook appeared in reality, no warrior would be stupid enough to catch it because it was too straight. However, Tianguan's AI obviously did not have that level of intelligence, and the final result was not difficult to predict. Ji Zhao pierced the warrior's head and ended the battle.

"call......"

Ji Zhao's current body was obviously unable to withstand such high-intensity close combat. He felt soreness all over his body, and he knew that this was probably the end of it.

[“I thought there would be a setting similar to post-war recovery in this Heavenly Gate Illusion…”]

Ji Zhao thought that because this Tianguan illusion was set up for several consecutive battles, if it were a game, it would be one battle after another, and there would be no time for players to open their backpacks to use medicines to recover, or the medicines outside could not be used here at all. So, according to common sense, a post-battle recovery setting should be added to allow players to better challenge Tianguan... Unfortunately, the game author's design concept did not match Ji Zhao's.

[“There is no game at all in the place where the game should be played…”]

Just as Ji Zhao was thinking this, the enemy at the fourth level of Tianguan appeared...it turned out to be Ji Zhao's acquaintance, Yunxiao, the boxing master of Luohe Pavilion!

Afterwards, perhaps because they were in the Tianguan illusion, the enemy had no ability to hide their breath, but before Ji Zhao could concentrate on observing, Yunxiao's panel appeared in Ji Zhao's eyes, just like the previous few warriors.

Ji Zhao had never seen Yunxiao's panel. After all, the other party was as miserable as he was. Not long after he joined the sect, he encountered the warriors of the Xingdou Sect and was beaten up. It should be noted that the Xingdou Sect's martial arts was best at sneak attacks, followed by beatings. Yunxiao was seriously injured as a result and never fought again.

"I didn't expect Master Yun to have such strength..."

Ji Zhao got into a stance and tried to fight with Yunxiao, but how could he be Yunxiao's opponent when his internal energy and physical strength were exhausted? After the two sides exchanged for more than ten moves, Ji Zhao ran out of strength and revealed a flaw, and Yunxiao seized the opportunity and killed him instantly!
