Cataclysm King

Chapter 498: Level [Law Master]

There are at least tens of thousands of Holy Dragon Knights and mercenaries of the Holy See in the Dead Zone.
Ji Xun and his companions did not intend to be too eye-catching.

They are not the protagonists of this incident, so avoid it if possible.

It was because of the collision that we almost got wiped out.

Now that we have finally escaped, of course we have to be more careful.

Fortunately, this endless pit is big enough.

The terraces on each level also have lush vegetation and are easily hidden.

This is the shallow area of ​​the dead zone. The monsters there are not too strong and have been almost cleared out.

The few of them walked down the rock wall for a few more hours and found a hidden cave covered with waterfalls and vines.

This is a great temporary base.

After a fierce battle, the Great Sword Group also needs to rest.

No one dared to make a fire in the enemy's territory. After setting up the tents, they gathered together to get some simple marching rations as food.

The dim magic lamp illuminated the cave, revealing a number of slightly tired faces.

Not long after.

Ji Xun was surrounded by piles of empty cans.

A little girl next to him was eating and drinking.

Ivan had absorbed too much energy in that mirror space before and now needed to replenish it.

Everyone in the Great Sword Group has long been accustomed to this scene.

From time to time, they helped her get the food at hand with a doting look on their faces.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

"The Holy Church's ambush plan has failed. The people from the Holy Church of Light and the Bloody Sect have escaped. I'm afraid the Dead Zone will be busy in the coming period."

"Yes. Now it seems that the Dragon God Marodis was exiled to the underworld hundreds of thousands of years ago. Those people in the Church of Light should want to bring this Dragon God back."

"Hey, I haven't seen a real pure-blooded dragon, let alone a dragon god. Judging from the situation, once the golden dragon god comes back, the dragons in the southern continent will be in chaos. Maybe the Arel Empire will collapse, hahahaha."

"It would be better if it collapsed. This way, the pressure on the East Desert would be much less."

".."

Everyone ate and talked about future plans.

When talking about several foreign god sects, their tone was more of gloating.

Everyone had the same idea: the main force here was the three foreign god sects, and they were just here to join in the fun.

The situation is unclear now, so just stay hidden and wait for an opportunity.

Their biggest purpose in coming to the Southern Continent is to get magical beasts of mythical bloodline, the more the better.

Now that we have come to this dead zone, among other things, there are quite a few high-level monsters.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Even when everyone was chatting, there were sounds of fighting and roars of monsters coming from the tiankeng outside.

As it had nothing to do with them, the people in the cave didn't feel any danger at all.

As they chatted, they talked about the bottomless pit where gravity was hanging upside down.

The ultimate secret that even Emperor Lanlingster wants to explore is ultimately very attractive.

"We are now on the third level of the Dead Zone. The Holy See's vanguard has explored at least the thirteenth and fourteenth levels below ten thousand meters, where eighth- and ninth-level monsters have appeared. But I estimate that the place where Emperor Lanlingster went was even deeper, and adventurers today cannot go there. Forget about exploring it."

"Yes. But what on earth are those people from the Holy See trying to find?"

"It could be something related to the mythical Titan, such as the fragments of the divine nature, or something left over from the battle. After all, in the ambush that killed Emperor Lanlingster, the dragon clan lost many pure-blooded dragons, and some of them might have died."

"So, it is possible that there are still the remains of a pure-blooded dragon in this pit?"

"It has been hundreds of thousands of years. It may not be preserved. Who knows?"

"."

The Dead Zone is full of secrets, and even the information Ji Xun knows is very limited.

Most of what everyone talked about was speculation.

As they were chatting, they suddenly mentioned the underworld that the tree roots lead to.

Luo Sen suddenly asked, "Hey, Brother Ji Xun, what do you think the underworld is like? Isn't it said to be the final resting place of the dead? How can one come back?"

Everyone was also very curious.

All eyes turned to the polymath.

Ji Xun shrugged, "I don't know either. It should be a plane similar to our cave world, but it's more special. And as far as I know, it is indeed possible to come back. I guess that Emperor Lanlingster was besieged and seriously injured and couldn't kill the dragon god Malodius, so he had to choose exile."

This is not a blind guess on his part.

He knew that the lineage of High Priest Taren had always had a special coordinate point in the underworld.

A certain girl with a bun hairstyle often said that if you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, you should exile the enemy to the underworld.

So when he heard Old Man Xu say that there was a golden dragon that was exiled to the underworld, this scene was the first thing that came to his mind.

As he spoke, Ji Xun glanced at Old Man Xu not far away.

The old man was full and tired, just like any other old man. He rolled up in his sleeping bag and fell asleep.

Even though this old man had little presence from beginning to end, he was crucial in Ji Xun's logical reasoning.

Without him, it is unknown whether they can leave the Mirror Secret Realm alive.

And because this person slept soundly here, Ji Xun felt that this cave was safe enough.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun's dark eyes were covered with a layer of remoteness, and he fell into deep thought unconsciously.

We talked about many topics before, but the only one we didn’t talk about was this old senior.

He was also wondering what role Old Man Xu played in the war that year.

Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard a reminder beside my ear: "Ji Xun, are you okay?"

When he turned his head, he saw Bonnie looking at him strangely.

Ji Xun then realized that his fingers had naturally made the flower-picking gesture while holding the can in his hand.

That kind of "charming" feeling made not only Bonnie, but everyone feel creepy.

It's like being possessed by some dirty thing.

This makes a guy who is obviously as masculine as possible become feminine.

Reminded by this, Ji Xun quietly retracted his fingers and explained calmly: "Ah, my mind is distorted. It's nothing serious."

I used [Dark Magic] frequently in battles before, so it's normal that the side effects are a bit severe.

Bonnie didn't know the hidden dangers of the witch's deformation, and asked in surprise: "Ah, it's deformed, is this a big deal? Do you want me to help you take a look?"

Distortion is something that all card masters are terrified of.

Moreover, mental distortion is particularly dangerous and one can turn into a "madman" if one is not careful.

For the first time, they saw someone who could so calmly say that his deformity was a minor problem.

Seeing everyone's concerned eyes, Ji Xun smiled and waved his hand, saying: "No need. This kind of deformation is not fatal, but it can't be solved. I have some tricks of my own."

He really didn't take it seriously.

First, he felt that this was worth it compared to the gains from the battle;

Also, this distortion at the soul level will make his consciousness accept this change.

I don’t know when it started, but I no longer feel anything is wrong.

"But."

Bonnie was still worried when she heard this.

He glanced at Qin Rushi again.

Seeing that her leader didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say.

Qin Rushi certainly knew what was going on.

But she drank the broth and said nothing.

After the meal, everyone returned to their tents as usual.

Today's battle is a rare experience for everyone, and they all need time to digest those insights.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi usually practice the [Imperial Art] and have always lived in the same tent.

The two of them returned to the tent naturally.

There was nothing to be shy about, so Qin Rushi took off her breastplate. Her voluptuous upper body was very sexy and pleasing to the eye. The first thing she asked was, "Are you okay?"

Ji Xun knew that she was asking about the distortion, and knew that he couldn't hide it, so he told the truth: "I hadn't fought in Giant Spirit City for a few months before, and I had been suppressing myself well. The previous battle was a bit more exciting, and I got a little out of control."

The situation was more serious than what he had told Bonnie and the others.

This irreversible distortion is, in a way, really bad.

When Qin Rushi heard this, she frowned slightly as if to say "nonsense".

Ji Xun shrugged and laughed at himself.

When their eyes met, they both knew what the other was going to say.

Qin Rushi didn't say more on this topic. He looked at Ji Xun who was sitting cross-legged and preparing to meditate, and asked, "Are you planning to advance to the seventh level now? Is there anything else you need to prepare?"

"Ah."

Ji Xun nodded and said, "We started preparing a long time ago, and there is nothing missing. Today's combat field has been greatly improved, and the divine power has completely reached the expected level. It is enough to successfully advance."

For most card masters, advancing to level seven is a risky and unknown process.

But Ji Xun had experienced Qin Rushi's advancement process in her consciousness world before. Although he was not 100% sure, he was 99% sure.

Qin Rushi listened and said nothing more, "Well. Then you can advance with peace of mind, and I will help you protect you."

Ji Xun grinned and said, "Okay!"

With Qin Ru by his side and Old Man Xu as an anchor, he can advance with peace of mind.

After sitting cross-legged and regulating his breathing for half an hour, Ji Xun took out a dark gold card that was shining with spiritual light. This was the original template [Law Master] that he had exchanged for his military merits in the other-dimensional space of "Thousands of Troops Besieging the City".

This was also the career path that Ji Xun had planned for himself a long time ago.

Wisdom sequence, affinity with all elements, extremely high degree of fit.

And the materials are also carefully selected.

The main material "Consciousness" is the epic material [Golden Omen Brain-Eating Worm Queen] found in the fake imperial tomb of Augustus before.

This bug has the ability to perform terrifying group mind control, which is very consistent with Ji Xun's current multitasking.

The auxiliary material "Mystery" is the [Rusty Scissors of Resentment] obtained on the Neon Train before.

Darkness, resentment, these terms can satisfy the mystical perception, enhance the spirit, and are highly compatible with the attributes of the main material.

After the extraordinary characteristics are integrated, the effect will be 1+1>2.

The two materials, “Flesh and Blood” and “Elements”, are the legendary materials [White Dragon’s Giant Magic Muscle] and [Freya’s Rainbow Muscle] that were obtained by all means in the black market of Giant City.

This is pretty much the best relevant material on the market.

Fortunately, we came to Juling City, otherwise we would have missed this specialty of the southern continent.

Ji Xun has systematically studied card-making at the Royal Academy, and now has considerable attainments in the field.

These materials are the best options he can find for himself.

Although it is not as 100% compatible as the professional cards made by Master Merlin, it is also very ideal.

He used the original template to create a legendary card.

【Law Master】

Quality: Legend

Detailed explanation: Wisdom Path 'Plum Blossom 5-Polynomist' 390th-level career card; fused with the original template of the Golden Bad Omen Brain-Eating Worm Mother of the Epic Wonder Worm; the fusion of this career card requires a mental power of no less than 150; the affinity of the four main elements of earth, wind, water, and fire is no less than 33, and the affinity rating of all elements is A+; the mental distortion tolerance rating is A+; after fusion, it will gain high wisdom growth, huge growth in all element laws, growth in mystical perception, and growth in dragon ability. High-level law suppression resistance +115%, divine power +%, and all-series spell element penetration is improved. Obtain exclusive career entries 'General Knowledge of All Laws' and 'Heart of Bad Omen Worm (Legendary)', and gain super cognitive ability of spells;
The professional card's affinity for all elements and the main material's group mental separation of the ominous insects are both highly compatible abilities.

Ji Xun looked at the career card in his hand with increasing satisfaction.

After his thoughts calmed down, he looked at Qin Ru beside him again, then closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Infused with magical power, the hexagram formation behind the occupation card slowly lit up.

The entire card gradually turned into strands of colorful elemental threads, penetrating into Ji Xun's limbs and bones.

He sat cross-legged, immersed in meditation, and clearly felt an extraordinary power slowly seeping into his body.

At that moment, all kinds of high-level elements that were beyond his understanding turned into absorbable extraordinary power and poured into his body and soul.

Ji Xun seemed to feel that his body had turned into a colorful world.

Fire, frost, storm, dark, light, forest, rock.
The elements materialized in the form of "phases" in his consciousness space and were then violently stuffed in.

It felt like a balloon that had been inflated to its maximum.

But at this moment, a terrifying external force surged in, trying to burst the original form and reshape it.

Ji Xun has advanced six times.

He knew very well that the stronger the extraordinary characteristics of the professional card, the more painful the advancement process would be.

I had already prepared myself mentally.

But this time was completely different from the previous six.

And because it was a full element advancement, the sensory experience he was about to experience was more complex than what Qin Rushi had experienced.

When those extraordinary characteristics surged into his body with an unprecedented intensity, Ji Xun finally understood why he needed "divine power".

The materials of occupation cards are extraordinary characteristics obtained from creatures that are beyond their own rank.

If you try to forcibly integrate those extraordinary qualities into yourself, they will resist, assimilate, and become distorted.

The process is painful and wonderful.

Ji Xun always felt like he was turning into the material.

Ominous bugs, white dragons, rainbow mushrooms.
Or it can become a mountain, a deep forest, a lake or white clouds.
More and more like a monster.

The only thing is that it is difficult to maintain human form.

This is also the reason why countless predecessors in the three thousand years before the Eastern Wilderness advanced without any guidance and were forced to advance, resulting in 100% distortion.

Human genes are too fragile to withstand the erosion of such foreign extraordinary characteristics that are more powerful than themselves.

Genes are like the foundation of a high-rise building. Without a strong enough foundation, it is difficult to support a strong and magnificent ground building.

Either you have strong enough genetic modification, such as the blood of ancient mythical beasts.
Use the stable structure of the bloodline of divine beasts, which has been tested for billions of years, as the foundation to build a tall building steadily.

Or maybe the "drawings" were prescient enough.

And "Shenwei" is the blueprint.

Anchoring the card master is a person.

Allow Ji Xun to have enough willpower to anchor his human form in that pain.

Moreover, his own comprehension is also his own understanding of the laws. At this moment, the field of "True Explanation of All Things" is like a mold, integrating those violent elements into the body according to specific rules.

Ji Xun felt like a sudden flash flood in the river.

Although turbulent, they are still in the expected river channel.

The solid field also becomes the most stable river channel, allowing the torrent of extraordinary characteristics to pass steadily.

I don’t know how long this process lasted.

In Ji Xun's conscious world, it seemed like a very long time had passed.

Although the process of advancement is painful, it is also a great opportunity.

The special nature of the Card Master system makes the Card Master's advancement process like a window temporarily opened by the origin of the universe, allowing people to glimpse extraordinary cognition beyond their own level during the advancement process.

This is the cognitive improvement brought about by the improvement of rank.

The stronger your strength, the more you can see.

Ji Xun relied on the extraordinary characteristics of his professional card to forcibly elevate his cognition, trying hard to glimpse more extraordinary mysteries.

He absorbed those insights like a voracious whale.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

The body is like a broken water tank that is then reshaped.

Quietly becoming bigger and stronger.

This day.

Ji Xun suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with brilliance.

At the same time, Qin Rushi in the tent also opened his eyes.

She sensed the changes that had taken place in him, and her beautiful eyes were filled with amazement. She asked, "Did it work?"

Although the successful advancement was expected, Qin Rushi also felt inexplicably excited at this moment.

The gleam in Ji Xun's eyes slowly faded, and he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air: "Yeah."

The feeling that the seventh level gave him was really great!
At this moment, he realized that the world in the eyes of a top-level card master was truly wonderful.

The previous comprehension of the high-level laws that was vague and hazy was like seeing flowers in the fog, please show it clearly in your eyes at this moment;
The martial arts techniques and spell secrets that I couldn't understand before are now clear to me.
The improvement in rank brought about an improvement in cognition, making Ji Xun feel that the whole world became clear again.

The domain and divine power also increased significantly at the same time.

Moreover, on the attribute panel, various attributes have also skyrocketed.

Strength, physique, agility, toughness, skills, and mental strength have all skyrocketed.

This time the advancement is along the polymath route. The improvement in physical strength is not too exaggerated, but the three basic physical attributes of strength, physique, and agility have also exceeded the 1000 mark!

To others, this physical value is simply outrageous.

Ji Xun had seen the physical attribute description of the card master at the Royal Academy before.

For a general seventh-level human melee card master, if one of the three major items can reach 800, he is already an elite.

Even for a dragonborn, if his strength score can exceed a thousand, he is considered first-rate.

But it is almost impossible for all three items to exceed a thousand.

Not only compared with humans, these data are not inferior to those of Warcraft.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ji Xun is now a humanoid monster!
And the mental support is even more exaggerated.

It has skyrocketed from less than 400 to over 500.

Moreover, the growth and upper limit of mental power have both increased significantly.

As his mental strength increased dramatically, his mystical perception ability, spell control, spell release, the upper limit of the spell controllable level, and the efficiency of the linkage between the mind and the body all increased significantly.

This will increase combat power exponentially.

This kind of improvement gives people a lot of confidence.

He was extremely confident that if he met the Holy Son of Tianlong again, he would definitely be able to fight him just based on his strength!

“This is the seventh level.”

Ji Xun's face was filled with an expression that was difficult to conceal.

Although successful advancement was expected, he felt an indescribable excitement when he truly experienced the improvement brought about by advancement.

Qin Rushi, who was standing by, looked at his expression and a hint of relief appeared on her face, as she was also happy for him.

Originally, she wanted to ask a few more questions about the situation, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound like a battle coming from outside.

Ji Xun suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at Qin Rushi, and asked, "What's going on outside?"

In fact, he also sensed some abnormal situations during his advancement in the past few days.

But because Qin Ru was there to protect him, he didn't care at all.

Qin Rushi sensed the movement outside the tent, as if he was used to it, and said calmly: "It has been like this for the past few days. Uncle Dong went to check, and the people from the Holy See and the other two foreign sects seem to have discovered an ancient relic on the sixteenth floor of the cave. The two sides are fighting fiercely. From time to time, there are sounds of fierce fighting."

"Oh."

Ji Xun suddenly understood and muttered to himself, "Sixteenth floor? Have those guys explored that deep?"

He vaguely felt that the location should be somewhat close to the truth of the fall of Emperor Lanlingster.
