Night.
The starry sky is bright, with countless stars shining, emitting eternal light. No matter how the Shenwu Continent changes, they are still as brilliant as ever.
In the vast blue land, there is darkness and everything is quiet and lonely. More than two or three months have passed since the natural disaster, and the earth has returned to calm, but the wounds left on the ground have not healed for a long time.
The mammoth Big Gray is still taking a leisurely walk under the starry night, enjoying the starlight and moonlight. The long hair on Big Gray's back is like a thick, comfortable and soft cushion, keeping him warm even if the wind is biting.
"How can the heart of martial arts be awakened?"
After nightfall, Ye Fan turned off the gravity pendant and ice stone pendant, and put away the thunder star meteorite. Lying on Dahui's long and generous back, looking at the deep sky under the starry night, I was full of thoughts.
In the past few months, after he reached the ninth level of Ice Martial Soul, his strength at the Wuhou realm had stagnated and he could no longer make any progress.
Putting down the rebellion in the Canglan Palace, winning the first prize in the Jinluan Palace, and serving as an important minister in the Canglan Court... these have established a huge reputation in the Canglan Kingdom, and he is even regarded by many as the most powerful official in Canglan, only among King Wu. Down.
But these had no effect on his breakthrough in cultivation, and they were not what he wanted in his heart.
He wanted to help Ling Jiaojiao, so he participated in the palace's suppression of the rebellion. He wanted to avenge the Luyang Mansion being attacked by the Green Wolf Beast Rider, so he won the first prize in the Jinluan Palace and became an important minister of the Canglan Court.
This battle with the Green Wolf Tribe in the Lieyang Mountains only happened in two or three years.
After this battle, he had no regrets in Canglan Country.
But after that, Ye Fan was confused. Could it be that the second half of his life was to marry a wife and have children, become the most respected Wuhou in the Canglan Kingdom, and establish a huge Ye family in the Canglan Kingdom?
of course not!
What Ye Fan desires most in his heart is to awaken his martial arts heart and break through to the realm of King Wu.
But the heart of martial arts is like an invisible huge door, blocking him from the world of King Wu and the door of Shenwu Avenue.
Warrior, Martial Lord, and Martial Lord realms cultivate the body of flesh and blood, the river of blood, and the martial soul respectively. They can cultivate the physical body, blood, and martial soul to the ultimate state. When Wuhun reached its peak, Wuhou accumulated a large amount of vitality in his body and possessed unimaginable power.
But the heart of martial arts is mysterious and unpredictable. I don't know where to look for it, let alone how to practice it.
Shang said to Ye Fan: "The heart of martial arts is to explore the original mysteries of the world of Shenwu and understand the true meanings of various mysteries. The awakening of the heart of martial arts is the awakening to the understanding of the original mysteries. There are so many original mysteries of the world of Shenwu that they are countless. So Every Martial King has his own martial arts aspirations, and they are not all the same."
"Original secrets? Aren't the eight vital energies of nature themselves secrets? Mastering the vitality means mastering the true meaning of the secrets?"
Ye Fan was a little confused.
He raised his hand and silently exercised his martial spirit in his heart. Phew, a ball of rich ice energy appeared in his palm, turning into a sharp ice cone a hundred feet long, and then turned into a hard ice shield.
Under his control, the ice energy is very comfortable and smooth, and can be transformed into the form he needs.
Shang shook his head slightly and said: "This is just your skill in using vitality, not your understanding of the profound meaning of vitality. Just as the biggest difference between King Wu and Marquis Wu is that Marquis Wu can only use his own stored vitality, while King Wu has understood the true meaning. , you can use the power of mystery to mobilize the greater power of heaven and earth.
"Is this just an application?"
Ye Fan fell into deep thought, but still couldn't figure it out. The heart of martial arts and the power of mysteries cannot be understood just by talking about it.
He kept using ice combat skills over and over again, thinking about the original meaning that Shang said.
What is the origin of ice power?
Ice vitality should be a kind of water vitality condensed into ice vitality. Cold is extremely low temperature, the high temperature of water energy drops to low temperature, changes from heat to cold, and changes from hot air to cold and hard.
Ye Fan thought.
However, even if he knew this, he still could not use this secret of ice.
What are the origins of thunder power and the origins of wind power?
Wind Yuan Qi is a more unstable force formed by the violent rise of Fire Yuan Qi.
Thunder Yuan Qi is a kind of terrifying lightning high voltage, destructive and violent force that is born from the collision of water Yuan Qi and fire Yuan Qi.
Among the eight natural energies of the Five Elements and Three Wonders, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five basic energies, while ice, wind, and thunder are more unstable energies derived from the two kinds of energy.
The sun and the moon are fleeting, and the stars are passing by.
Nearly a year passed in a flash.
In this year, Ye Fan also cultivated Lei Wuhun to the peak of the late Wuhou period, and could no longer continue to improve the power of Lei Wuhun. Even Feng Wuhun has been greatly improved.
Ye Fan became the Ice and Thunder Peak Wuhou, but this did not surprise Ye Fan much. It was only a matter of time before he reached the peak of Wuhou realm. What is more important is to understand the secret of the heart of martial arts.
Ye Fan was immersed in the understanding of the secret day after day, almost completely forgetting himself.
For him, there is no distinction between darkness and dawn, no distinction between regions. When I wake up, I am comprehending the profound truth, and when I sleep, I am still thinking about the profound truth.
The mammoth Big Hui carried Ye Fan on his back and walked aimlessly on the blue land, practicing while walking without caring where he was.
Morning sun!
The sky is just bright.
The ground was covered with frost and snow, and the falling snow covered the mountains and fields. It was already the depth of winter.
Ye Fan suddenly woke up on Da Hui's back, stretched out his fingers, and caught a small piece of snowflakes and ice crystals falling from the air.
The snowflake melted into water under the warmth of his fingertips.
This piece of ice and snow gained the body temperature of his fingers, absorbed the heat, and melted into warm water! This is ice water!
If this process were reversed...!
"ice!"
Ye Fan suddenly spit out a word like a ghost.
Suddenly, a drop of water on the tip of his finger condensed and turned into a snowflake. It was blown by the wind and made a small vortex, and then disappeared into the flying snow in the sky.
Ye Fan looked at the snowflakes floating away and was completely stunned.
How is this going?
He didn't use any of his vitality, he just moved his mind and recited the word "ice", and the drop of water on his fingertips re-condensed into ice.
He tried it again and chanted the word "Bing" lightly.
As a result, the scene just now did not appear again.
"Was it just a hallucination?"
Ye Fan was a little disappointed, maybe it was just a fantasy.
Shang was shocked and said in surprise: "You can mobilize the power of ice energy without using any power in your body. Just now was a sign that the secret of ice may be awakened... How did you do it?"
"I don't know either, I just suddenly felt something in my heart! But I still don't understand what the secret of ice is."
Ye Fan said confused.
Shang was speechless, maybe Ye Fan just accidentally touched the secret of ice unconsciously. "It seems that the heart of Ice Martial Arts has not yet awakened. Let's continue practicing!"
…
Compared with Ye Fan's confusion and distress, selflessly immersed in cultivation in order to seek the awakening of the heart of ice martial arts and the breakthrough of the martial king realm, Mammoth Dahui's cultivation method is undoubtedly relaxed.
For the orcs, it is more of a growth of life than cultivation.
When it eats and drinks, it is practicing. When it plays under the stars and moonlight and absorbs the moonlight, it is practicing. Even when it sleeps, it is practicing.
As for fighting, of course it is also an excellent practice.
When it grows to a certain level, it breaks through a big realm with a "boom" and enters the next big realm. In this way, he continued to transform from a ferocious beast, to a beast lord, to a beast lord, then to a beast king, and even to the beast king...
Of course, this wonderful growth breakthrough is only for a very small number of high-level orcs.
The vast majority of low-level beasts cannot enjoy such continuous breakthroughs to one great realm after another. They remain stuck in the stages of ordinary beasts, ferocious beasts, and beast masters throughout their lives. Unless they have special encounters and paths, it is difficult to break through. A higher realm.
The powerful and mysterious innate power contained in the bloodline inheritance of high-level orcs makes their lives continue to achieve breakthroughs as they grow.
Dahui carried Ye Fan on his back and wandered around the Canglan Kingdom for a full year, living in pursuit of water and grass, and occasionally hunting other fish and beasts for food.
In addition, Ye Fan's three kinds of meteorites are activated almost every day to strengthen his cultivation, which is of great benefit to Da Hui's growth.
In the blink of an eye, Da Hui has been at the peak of the Beast Lord realm for nearly half a year.
I don't know when it started, Da Hui suddenly poked Ye Fan with his long nose, and became a little impatient. From time to time, he raised his head and looked around, as if he was looking for somewhere, and started to run wildly.
Ye Fan also vaguely felt that Big Hui was on the verge of breaking through the Beast King, but it had no intention of breaking through immediately. He couldn't help but asked Shang in surprise: "What is it looking for? Shang, do you have any records of mammoths breaking through the King of Martial Arts?! "
"It's probably that it needs to find a specific place before it can break through. I'll look for it!"
Shang didn't quite understand, so he quickly looked through the vast sea of books, and after a long time he said: "Mammoth may need to break through King Wu on the iceberg."
"Why do you have such a special preference?"
Ye Fan was stunned.
Shang said: "Perhaps it is the memory left by the mammoth family in ancient times. They found that they are safest on icebergs, but it is easy to have trouble in the plains and glaciers. For example, when they are about to break through, they are besieged by natural enemies. Icebergs will besiege them even more when they break through. For advantage."
Ye Fan had no choice but to look around.
It would take a long time to reach the nearest iceberg. Fortunately, it is the deep winter season, icebergs are easier to find, and the mountains are covered with snow.
"Go, that way!"
Under Ye Fan's command, the mammoth Big Gray ran wildly. After several hours, it finally came to a giant peak over a thousand feet tall.
It roared excitedly and rushed towards the giant peak.
At the height of the snow peak, it calmed down and began to face the upcoming greater realm breakthrough.
Ye Fan stepped aside and stood guard not far away, quietly watching Da Hui break through to the realm of the Beast King.
