I am cultivating an immortal in the game arena

Chapter 266 Swallowing all the orbs, the golden post of the inner god

The first five orbs correspond to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Zhang Jun didn't know what the next three orbs corresponded to, but he could feel the extraordinaryness of these three orbs.

He took a deep breath and looked at the sixth orb.

This orb is dark black, with cold silver light flashing irregularly on its surface, like fearful eyes staring at itself.

Zhang Jun put his hand on the orb, and instantly a strong breath of death hit his face. He could even see the hair on his arms standing up on their own.

This is not like a pearl, but more like poison that seals the throat upon seeing blood.

Even Xue Begonia can feel the strong death intention above.

"Be careful, this orb is very dangerous, it contains an aura of decay."

She warned Zhang Jun in a disguised way, just stop if it doesn't work. Although she couldn't get the highest reward, it was good to get the five elements magical power.

But Zhang Jun thought for a moment and picked off the orb.

"How can you hide behind when you encounter danger? It was a little bit close this time, and it will be a little bit worse next time. If we accumulate bit by bit, the gap will only get bigger and bigger."

Zhang Jun's eyes were clear and he knew what he was doing.

It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, but if you do not have the mentality to face difficulties and just stay in your comfort zone, you will be eliminated by the general trend sooner or later.

After experiencing the Mi Shen crisis, Zhang Jun had a profound understanding of himself. This is what he understood after experiencing life and death.

"For you to have such an idea, you are already better than many people."

Seeing that Zhang Jun was determined, Xue Haitang no longer tried to persuade him, but sat down cross-legged, with blood surging around his body, fully prepared.

If things go wrong, she will try her best to pull Zhang Jun out of the illusion.

After getting ready, Zhang Jun swallowed the orb.

Soon a huge amount of spiritual energy poured into his body. This spiritual energy was mixed with an aura of death. As Zhang Jun used the Evergreen Technique to refine it, this aura of death quickly poured into his soul.

In an instant, the entire Jianyi Mountain was surrounded by a layer of dim black mist.

Wherever the black mist passed, the plants, grass, and rivers on Jianyi Mountain were all cast in shadow.

The vitality of all things is rapidly withering away, and this aura of death even makes the entire Jianyi Mountain appear to be in danger of collapse.

Jianyi Mountain not only suppresses luck, but is also the cornerstone of Zhang Jun's soul. Its importance to Zhang Jun is self-evident.

But whether it was Zhang Jun or Xue Haitang, both of them were terrifyingly calm.

Wisps of death energy were sucked into the soul, and an illusion appeared in front of Zhang Jun again.

The first thing he saw was a lush forest, with layers of trees covering the sky and the sun.

However, over time, the forest gradually lost its vitality and became withered and desolate.He saw leaves falling from the branches, saw the cracks in the trunks getting deeper and deeper, until finally, the forest disappeared completely, leaving only a barren land.

Then he saw a huge city with tall buildings and flashing neon lights.However, the city gradually became dilapidated, with garbage piled on the streets and cracks on the buildings.

People looked pale and lifeless, as if they had lost hope in life.He saw traffic jams in the city, people walking by with expressionless faces, until finally, the city completely collapsed and turned into ruins.

Before his eyes, life seemed to be coming to an end in an instant.He saw the carcasses of animals, he saw the remains of humans, he saw the fragility and brevity of life.

Zhang Jun was in it and did not resist. Instead, he stood like a rock in it, witnessing the end of all things and the withering of life.

When night falls, the world in front of you is a despairing silence, and negative emotions such as loneliness, despair, numbness, etc. are like an invisible tide rushing towards your face.

This emotion became stronger and stronger. Zhang Jun tried to resist by reciting Professor Di Le's scriptures, but the effect was not good.

Seeing this, he simply opened his mind to accept and tolerate these desperate and complicated emotions. Gradually, he felt as if his spirit was split.

On the one hand, there is absolute reason, ruthlessness and love, watching with cold eyes, while on the other hand, countless negative emotions are struggling and roaring in the heart.

The two seemed to be fighting each other, between good and evil. Absolute rationality and absolute sensibility. Under the collision of these two extremes, Zhang Jun gained a new understanding.

It absorbs part of the rationality and part of the sensibility.

Eventually his consciousness began to become complete.

He saw how countless creatures went from birth to death.

When life is born, there will be joy in his heart, and when life comes to an end, he will also have sadness and pain in his heart.

During this process, Zhang Jun deeply experienced the complexity and impermanence of life.

He saw how life, after experiencing the baptism of death, re-showed new vitality in a completely new form.

He understands that life is not static but is constantly changing and developing.

He understood that the meaning of life lies not only in survival and reproduction, but also in how to maintain love and respect for life after experiencing everything.

Once you realize the truth and see your true self, all the shackles of the past will disappear.

Zhang Jun opened his eyes again, and with a thought, the entire Jianyi Mountain was trembling, and a large amount of death aura was gathered into Jianyi Mountain.

Suddenly, everything on the entire Jianyi Mountain withered, and there was absolute silence.

But in just a snap of his fingers, following Zhang Jun's thought, there was a thunderous roar.

The next moment, endless thunder and lightning quickly flooded Jianyi Mountain like a heavy rain.

"Boom rumble..."

The lightning spread down from the top of the mountain and penetrated the mountain in an instant.

The mountain shook violently and many side peaks collapsed.

But when the thunder light was extinguished, the entire Jianyi Mountain immediately became filled with vigorous vitality.

Wisps of green grass emerge from the decay.

Trees are rising from the ground.

As far as the eye can see, there is only the deep and shallow green, shining like emerald, and the cascading mountains, like a dragon between heaven and earth, winding and majestic.

Every leaf sparkles with vitality in the sunlight, as if whispering the secrets of nature.

This time, Jianyi Mountain is even more ethereal than the Immortal Cave.

Every plant and tree is also transformed by the sword intention, but it is no longer as domineering and sharp as before. After the great annihilation just now, the swordsmanship of Jianyi Mountain has gained a deeper level of attainment.

If we say that the Taiping Sword Intent in the past relied on tyranny and force to conquer, suppress, kill villains, and kill all bandits.

Then the current Taiping Sword Intention is completely at another level.

Educate all living beings, moisten the rain silently, make the people of the world rich, let the country enjoy peace, stop the war thousands of miles away, and kill the enemy in just a few words.

Although the sword has never been unsheathed, it has already affected millions of living beings.

"Congratulations!"

Xue Haitang noticed the changes in Jianyi Mountain immediately. She looked at Zhang Jun and congratulated him.

She is not good at swordsmanship, but she can also feel the changes in Zhang Jun's sword intention, which has reached a higher level.

Even though Jianyi Mountain looks a little shorter and a few side peaks have collapsed, these have no impact at all.

With a smile on Zhang Jun's face, he looked up at the thunderclouds above his head. The thunderclouds were getting bigger and bigger, indicating that he was getting closer to the peak of concentration.

The sixth gem has no magical power, no, it should be said that the magical power has been integrated into the Taiping Sword Intent by himself.

The Evergreen Technique is to transform all things into vitality for one's own use, and this magical power is to make the power of life flow continuously.

Because of the conflict with the Evergreen Gong, Zhang Jun integrated it into the Taiping Sword Intent, causing such wonderful changes in the Sword Intent Mountain.

After eating the remaining two pills, I will reach the peak of concentration.

This time Xue Haitang did not dissuade him. Just by looking at the changes in Jianyi Mountain, she knew that this little man of hers was no longer the little chick he was before.

He only said to be careful in everything, and continued to protect Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun looked at the last two orbs.

The seventh orb, which is characterized by space,
It's like a mini universe, colorful and shining with strange light.The deep blue gem seems to contain countless stars and the mysteries of the universe.

When Zhang Jun looked at the orb, a faint golden light emitted from it. Although the golden light was small, it seemed to be able to travel through space, giving people a feeling of being able to tear the space apart and making people feel the infinity and depth of the space.

Zhang Jun swallowed the fruit, and the power of this orb became more powerful. While Zhang Jun was refining this orb, he looked at the eighth orb.

This orb is characterized by time.

This orb exudes a charming light, like flowing golden sand, full of the rhythm of time.

The seventh orb is space, and the eighth orb is time.

At this time, Zhang Jun's mind moved, and by some strange coincidence, he reached out his hand and actually picked off the eighth orb and swallowed it together.

This move made Xue Haitang frown, but she soon felt relieved.

Judging from various previous performances, Zhang Jun's problem of refining two pills at once is not a big one. The power of time and space should be one, and swallowing two pills at once will increase the difficulty, but it is not necessarily a bad thing.

Swallowing two orbs at one time, but the order has not changed, so it does not violate the rules of [Eight Treasure Beads Grass].

It's just that the power of the two orbs is too huge, and the two powers are even more entangled together, forming a force of time and space that quickly flows into Zhang Jun Yuanshen.

In an instant, Zhang Jun seemed to be in a strange time and space.

Looking at it, the folding of space and time is like folding a piece of paper in half, and then folding it in half again, infinite times.

Every fold will cause another layer of space to collapse and deform.

The interlacing of light and shadow makes the space more mysterious. The refraction and reflection of light form colorful apertures in the space, while the shadows are like elongated weird shapes, shaking and distorting in the space.Everything seemed so unreal, as if I was in a dream.

Soon, a golden halo appeared around Zhang Jun's body, as if it was a trace of time.

His thinking became extremely clear, as if he could see through everything.

In this chaotic and weird space, he actually saw the future through these weird and twisted spaces.

In a diamond-shaped space, Zhang Jun saw his own growth in reality, and saw the decline of the Zhang family. Mr. Zhang died of illness, and his second uncle and third uncle were imprisoned one after another.

Then he saw his parents giving birth to a younger brother, and also saw what he would look like in the future.

Although these are just illusions and not real, when Zhang Jun stared at the future, he also felt that his future self was condensing himself.The space is constantly splitting, and the pictures appearing in each space are completely different.

In another time and space, he saw his father kill his mother with a knife.

In another time and space, it was his mother who sent his father to prison and ordered him to leave the house.

What's even more outrageous is that after killing his parents, he threw his young brother into a crusher.

These outrageous images of time and space made Zhang Jun feel dizzy.

But soon he calmed down.

He looked at the images that were constantly emerging in front of him.

In one place in time and space, we saw Taoist Miao Zhen having his heart ripped out by a strange black shadow.

Then he saw his own head placed in front of the Sanqing statue.

Zhang Jun looked at the various pictures that appeared in front of him, frowned and asked: "If these are the future, then let me see what my next competitive world will be like?"

As Zhang Jun shouted these words, the space in front of him continued to tear apart, and the scene of the arena emerged.

It’s just that there are more and more cracks in the space, and various different scenes emerge in the torn pictures.

There are those who win and those who fail.

He actually saw Mi Shen in a crack. This guy fell from the sky and fell to the earth like a meteor, smashing a huge pit into the ground.

The dim yellow strange energy spread out from the deep pit in an instant, turning the surrounding land and city into strange things.

Then Zhang Jun saw in another crack that he was sitting cross-legged, but the top of his head was torn apart, and a lotus flower emerged from under his heavenly spirit cover.

Blood flowed down his cheeks, and he was actually laughing. His limbs were twitching violently, and white roots came out from between his nails and took root on the ground.

Then more and more lotuses came out of his eyes, mouth, and even his navel.

Within a moment, his body turned into a flower pot-like container.

Such a strange scene made Zhang Jun frown.

But it seems that each ending is different. It is more like opening multiple life simulators instantly, simulating countless outcomes.

Just when Zhang Jun was confused, at the same time in Jianyi Mountain, Xue Haitang noticed that Zhang Jun's Yuan Shen was actually showing signs of collapse.

She looked at Zhang Jun's figure, shrouded in golden light. The faint golden light seemed to dissipate at any time, but it seemed to extend into endless space and time.

Seeing this, Xue Haitang understood what was going on.

He clasped his hands together and casually opened a wound in his palm with his sharp nails. Suddenly, little bits of blood flew out and merged into Zhang Junyuan's spirit.

With the blessing of this bloody light, the soul that was already showing signs of collapse immediately became solid again.

At the same time, he and Xue Haitang seemed to have a new bond with each other.

"Space is infinitely large, but it can also be infinitesimally small, but its essence remains unchanged. The emptiness is real, and the real is imaginary. Just like the Tao of Yin and Yang, it is just a blinding method of Taoism.

As for the future, it is even more illusory. The past cannot be changed and the future cannot be trusted. What I say now is the past, but how can you know what I will say next? "

The voice of Xue Haitang reached Zhang Jun's ears, like a yellow bell, and Zhang Jun's originally groggy head was suddenly awakened.

He closed his eyes and carefully understood what Xue Haitang said.

The essence of space is equivalent to a piece of paper. The so-called power of space is just folding the upper left corner of the paper to the lower left corner.

It's just borrowing more space without changing the essence.

This is more like Einstein's theory of spatial relativity in reality. It is just something that science has not yet realized, but metaphysics has already taken a step forward.

As for the scene in space and time in front of me.

Zhang Jun Just as Xue Haitang said, the past cannot be changed, but the future is changing.

The only thing I can do is seize the moment.

Only by firmly grasping every step of the present can you seize your future as much as possible.

Zhang Jun figured out the key to this, stabilized his mentality again, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, no longer disturbed by these time and space.

His spirit gradually began to become pure, as a thought flashed through him.

The chaotic spatial cracks in front of him gradually calmed down.

Instead there was only a crack in space.

This crack was torn open, and inside there was only Xue Haitang standing on Jianyi Mountain, waiting for him. There was neither past nor future, only the present.

As the crack gradually expanded, Zhang Jun's figure suddenly disappeared into the crack. When he opened his eyes again, his soul had returned to his place.

[Task: Eight Treasures Show Completed, Reward: Inner God Gold Post, Five Wishing Stars. 】

Zhang Jun was in a good mood when he received the reminder of the mission.

Sure enough, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

Devouring the two treasure fruits of time and space in one breath, he also gained two magical powers, namely [Qu Kongshou] and [Three Divinations]

The former has the ability to distort space, while the latter can divine fragments of the future, but only three times a day.

As for whether it is accurate or not, you need to judge it yourself.

Zhang Jun calmed down, the thunder clouds above his head had accumulated to an incredible level, and lightning kept falling on the golden palace behind him.

"It seems I can break through!"

At this moment, he felt that his soul was full as never before, and it seemed that he could break through to the peak of concentration at any time if he wanted to.

Xue Haitang stood up, looked at his energetic appearance, and had to pour cold water on him: "Don't worry, it's not the time for you to break through yet."

The peak of concentration is the constellation period.

At that time, the soul will resonate with the stars in the sky, and you can use the power of the stars to bless your body.

The stronger the resonance of the stars, the more powerful the blessings received.

Therefore, even if they are in the same constellation period, their strength is often very different. Some people are lucky and can attract the blessings of some powerful stars, while some people are unlucky and can only attract the blessings of weak stars.

It is for this reason that when many people are about to take this step, it is best to prepare in advance and mobilize their greatest strength to attract the attention of certain constellations when they are on duty.

For more complicated ones, you will also build an altar, place enough sacrifices, and perform rituals to summon a certain constellation and break through to the constellation stage.

This is why Xue Haitang advised Zhang Jun to wait.

Zhang Jun nodded to express his understanding, his consciousness withdrew from the sea of ​​consciousness, and looked at the [Eight Treasure Pearl Grass]

At this moment, a new orb slowly grew out of the flower bud.

This is the real reward of [Eight Treasure Pearl Grass].

After taking the eight orbs quickly, you can get the ninth orb, which contains a great magical power.

As for what kind of magical power it is, it depends on your luck.

The branches and leaves on the eight-jeweled grass began to wither, and instead, the ninth orb gradually took shape.

This orb is like a small universe, its surface is inlaid with countless twinkling stars, and each star seems to be alive.

The strange aura even made the tigers and dogs in the den look sideways, curiously observing the orb.

As soon as the orb took shape, a unique fragrance filled the entire cave.

Zhang Jun reached out and pinched the orb in his hand.

Although the orb did not have a question mark and could not perceive the information in it, Zhang Jun felt through the aura on the orb that it seemed to have the power of stars.

However, he did not swallow the orb immediately, but carefully put it into the storage bag.

After eating eight orbs in one breath, his spiritual power has expanded to the extreme. If he eats these orbs again, he will directly break through.

Xue Haitang in the Consciousness Sea also suggested that he wait. If this orb contains the power of stars, then he should wait until he breaks through before taking it.

When the time comes when he breaks through the stars, if he can be blessed by the power of the stars, he will be able to attract even more powerful stars.

what is this?
Zhang Jun stretched out his hand and took out something, which was the reward for completing the Eight Treasures Bead Grass mission.

A small purple notebook.

However, this small book cannot be opened, and it feels more like some kind of metal-like texture in your hand.

He looked at the question mark above.

[Inner God Gold Poster] (Rare Treasure)

Using this object can bless the soul and obtain some of the special abilities of a certain god.

However, if you want to use this thing, you need to get the national movement of the current dynasty to activate it.

(Note: The stronger the national destiny that destroys this object, the more divine power it can obtain.)
Looking at the information above, Zhang Jun couldn't help but his eyes lit up, but he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

Being able to obtain the power of a certain god is naturally beneficial to oneself.

But this thing needs to be destroyed by the national movement. What is the national movement?

If it had appeared before the last competitive world, I could have asked King Rui to activate it for me.

But there are not many such opportunities.

Oh, what a missed opportunity.

Zhang Jun sighed and temporarily put the object in his storage bag. After thinking about it for a while, he walked out of the beast's den and went straight to the Wushengmen Scripture Collection Pavilion.

Next it’s Feiyun Gourd’s turn and other tasks.

He has the thunder method himself, and with the [Soul Spirit Forging Technique], it is not difficult to burn the thunder magic circle for Feiyun Gourd. In addition, now that he has the assistance of [Qu Kongshou], it is even more convenient.

It's just that I don't understand the formation. I hope I can find a suitable formation in the Sutra Pavilion to help. Otherwise, I will have to go out and try my luck in the stolen goods alley.
