Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"Idealistic prayers cannot make the living's career smoother. I thought you had abandoned this."

"It doesn't cost money anyway, so just have some faith~" Shen Muke joked: "But since you also said that spiritualism doesn't work, how about we do something materialistic. How about you go in with me?"

"You want me to go to Foehn Hot Land with you?" Kelsey raised her eyebrows.

"It's just an invitation. It's up to you whether you go or not."

Kelsey pondered for a while, then turned to old Ising aside.

Old Isin touched the crystal ball in his hand with fear, and whispered: "Destiny, Ms. Kelsey, everything is arranged by fate. No matter how we choose, everything about us is in the long river of fate. We Our destiny will not be derailed, nor will it go against the current."

Listening to Old Ising's riddle-like reply, Kelsey was silent for a long time. Finally, she nodded.

"I can enter with you and assume the responsibility of a tour guide. However, I still want to remind you that the things inside are not worthy of your in-depth study... They are just some old objects."

"It doesn't matter, I'm just curious." Shen Muke replied with a smile: "Now I will no longer be moved by the complexity and abnormality of the answer."

Chapter 26 God’s Kung Fu

Sargon, southwest border.

The yellow sand in the sky beats the travelers who come here, telling them that this is not a good place. If they don't want to sink into the sand, then the best thing is to retreat quickly.

However, this kind of terror cannot scare away everyone. At least, Shen Muke will not be scared away.

However, old Ising had begun to back down.

"Hey, kind-hearted Ms. Kelsey, beautiful Ms. Kelsey, I'm just a fortune teller. I don't know much about the Foehn Land, and I'm not good at fighting. I can't help you with anything... I won't bother you. I’m leaving…”

Behind Kelsey, M3 stretched out two sharp claws, holding old Ising's robe in its mouth, and lifted him up.

Originally, Kelsey didn't want to do this to him, but this old boy actually wanted to teleport himself away through Origin Stone skills after bringing her and Shen Muke here!

How could Kelsey let him slip away?So m3 hung him up.

"You can only deceive Agaritu." Kelsi gave Shen Muke a cue, and then said: "Who said you can't help us? Your teleportation skills may be the only one who can The ability to travel in the foehn wind and hot earth."

"Ahem, cough, cough." Shen Muke interrupted Kelsey: "Ms. Kelsey, although you seemed to have made a sarcasm just now...but please explain what it means: [The only one who can travel in the Foehn Hot Land." Ability】?"

"About this... you can ask him." Kelsey turned to Old Ising. Old Ising reluctantly held up his hood. He was being carried by M3 and was inevitably a little panicked.

"That's right, Mr. Agaritu... Ms. Kelsey is right. There are indeed some restrictions in the Foehn Hot Land. As far as I know, the Foehn Hot Land has the ability to shield the empire of consciousness and divinity... Although I don’t know the specific principles and circumstances, this limitation does exist.”

"Will the Foehn and Hot Earth restrict the empire of consciousness and divinity?"

Shen Muke was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately thought: "Isn't that God's forbidden area?"

That’s right, God’s forbidden area.

The giant beasts and beast masters of Terra, as well as the awakened immortals, all derive their power from divinity.

The final product of divinity, the divine domain and authority, all need to rely on the empire of consciousness to function.

The divine domain needs to be intercepted and divided from the empire of consciousness, and authority... Without the empire of consciousness, where does the authority come from?

In other words, if what Old Isin said is true, then the Foehn Hot Land will undoubtedly be a forbidden area of ​​​​God, because there, no one can use all the abilities brought by the Empire of Consciousness.

Of course, these abilities include long-distance teleportation, long-distance consciousness contact, and spatial storage.

"This..." Shen Muke felt a little pained. Half of the reason why he had never come to Foehn Hot Land was because he was not strong enough.

He didn't want to take risks until he had mastered absolutely super-normal power.

But now, Old Isin gave him a bolt from the blue. It turned out that in the land of Foehn, he couldn't even use his divinity?

So all his previous accumulation is useless?

Shen Muke thought about what he had, and finally he found that only the magic given to him by Ramo and the occult knowledge of Forfa and Agares could be used to arm himself, as well as the gems and herbs of Fulas. The knowledge can also be used, but don't think about immortal blessing and invisibility.As for Hampa, his skills are of little use in the Foehn Hot Land.

No wonder Kelsi has been holding on to Old Ising. The teleportation skills of the fortune teller Old Ising are derived from his Origin Stone skills. This ability is innate and not a product of the Consciousness Empire, so it can exploit the loopholes of the Foehn Wind and Hot Land.

Kelsey looked at the confused Shen Muke in front of her and said, "So now, do you understand? I won't let you go for this reason... Now, do you want to continue moving forward?"

Shen Muke nodded his chin and asked tentatively: "Ms. Kelsi, since I can't use my divinity and can't contact the empire of consciousness, then I definitely can't continue with my current power... But, no Ms. Kelsey, who knows everything, is there any substitute that can quickly become stronger without relying on divinity?"

"Yes." Kelsey nodded briefly.

I knew it!I knew it!

Shen Muke rolled his eyes subtly. He knew this was the case. This old woman knew everything and was prepared for everything, but she would just stand there and pretend to be dead. Her purpose was obvious. She didn't just want him to know the difficulty. And retreat, give up entering the hot land of Foehn Wind?

Kelxi didn't know that she was being complained about, so she took out a simple bamboo slip and handed it to Shen Muke.

Shen Muke took it and saw it written in cursive:

"Listening to the Waves in the Rain at Night"

"What is this? What kind of poetry collection is it?" Shen Muke looked at Kelxi blankly.

Kelsi shook her head and said, "I wonder if you have heard of Dayan's martial arts?"

Dayan martial arts?

"That's right, Dayan martial arts combines physical strength and mental strength.

The unique skills unique to Great Yan, which are produced by will, ancient mysticism, and some Origin Stone skills, are more complex and varied, and more comprehensive and profound than ordinary Origin Stone skills. "

Shen Muke nodded, he still had some understanding of Dayan's martial arts.

Not only did he understand, but a few years ago, he also fought against Taihe who came to Xierag for the next year. At that time, Taihe was just a novice. Even so, Dayan Martial Arts also opened Shen Muke's eyes.

"So, this isn't some martial arts secret that has been passed down for many years, right?"

"If you use Great Yan's terminology, it is like this." Kelsi nodded: "Don't underestimate it. About 600 years ago, this was the fastest martial art recognized by the Great Yan court and the Jiuzhou Jianghu. , but the cultivation requirements are a bit high... so it has not been handed down. This copy of mine was given to me by an old friend, and I am afraid it is the last original version of "The Night Rain Listens to the Waves" in the world that has not been modified or deleted."

Should I go, or will this be my only copy?

Or is it the only copy from 600 years ago?

Realizing that he was holding an antique, Shen Muke used his trembling hands to untie the ropes that were already somewhat patinated on the heavy bamboo slip. Looking at the mottled bamboo slips, Shen Muke felt distressed.

600 years old, an only copy, a complete bamboo slip with inscriptions!

If this were placed in my own world, this would be the treasure of a local museum!It’s still the kind of national treasure that doesn’t lend out, doesn’t copy the content, and doesn’t spread to other people!

However, in Kelsey's case, this is just a set of ordinary books. If it weren't for the fact that it was given by an old friend, Kelsey might not have kept it. Simple antiques have no meaning to her, because she herself is a "antique".

Shen Muke gently opened the bamboo slip and glanced at the catalog roughly.

This martial arts secret book with a very poetic name also contains a chapter on foundation building of internal strength, a chapter on boxing and palm techniques, a chapter on swordsmanship and spear skills, a chapter on light kung fu and body techniques, and finally the "Silent Rain" chapter of unknown meaning.

Objectively speaking, this set of bamboo slips contains everything a warrior needs to practice. This one book alone, if the practice is completed, is enough for a warrior to last a lifetime.

"You just said that the requirements for practicing this technique are very high. How high are they?"

"First of all, it must be a man. Secondly, it must not be over 40 years old."

Shen Muke nodded. It is normal to have age and gender requirements. As the old saying goes, you should practice martial arts as early as possible... As for gender, the meridians and body structures of men and women are different. It is normal to distinguish them specially. Isn't it also necessary to ward off evil spirits? Are there any weird martial arts like swordsmanship and sunflower manual?

Shen Muke motioned for Kelxi to continue.

"Secondly, because the technique is special, the practitioner's body cannot have hidden wounds left in the past."

This is understandable, after all, if the body has hidden injuries, even strenuous exercise will be a problem, let alone practicing martial arts.

"Hmm, is there any more?"

"Also, after cultivators practice this, they can no longer practice other techniques."

This is a bit harsh, because most warriors will learn many kinds of exercises, and they can be perfected by using multiple methods together. It is really hard to accept that they can only learn one kind.

"anything else?"

"There is also the most important thing." Kelsi said this with some helplessness: "This technique has the strangest and most difficult requirements. This requirement and characteristics directly made it the most difficult one in Great Yan back then. One of the martial arts learned.”

"What is it?"

"During the cultivation process, the cultivator cannot sleep or rest. He must complete it in one go and maintain a state of complete concentration. By the time the cultivator reaches No. 40 for nine days, the cultivator will have completely mastered all the skills. Strength. If the practitioner has limited talent and fails to learn it successfully, or falls asleep during the process and wastes time...then he needs to do another round and persist for another 49 days."

Shen Muke looked at Kelsey in front of him in surprise. He knew that Kelsey didn't lie, which meant...

"Is this a technique specially prepared for gods?"

Chapter 27 Intermission: Arctos and Ratatos

Ursus, Chernobog.

A group army command room somewhere.

Aktos and Ratatos stood at the door of an office, their faces tense and serious. Today, they were going to meet a "big shot".

Bang bang bang!

After gently opening the door three times and hearing words coming from inside, the two walked into the office. The first thing they saw was the luxurious and complicated facilities and layout in the office.

Champagne-colored curtains cover the windows, giving everything in the office a luxurious background. Even though it is daytime, the gorgeous crystal chandeliers are already turned on. Through the light, you can still see the flowing glass inside and the surrounding areas. Inlaid gems.

Two Ursus-style leather sofas are placed in the corner of the office. Although these two sofas may not be sat on for a month, their smooth appearance still shows the style of the office owner...or, in other words, the diligence of the cleaning staff. ?

Lowering his head, the thick red desk lay in the middle of the office like a giant beast, occupying a large area, but there was only one person behind the desk.

This man was wearing an exquisite hand-tailored dress and playing with a golden quill in his hand. He looked very young, but Actos and Ratatos knew that he was already 40 years old.

"Good day, Lord Count Dunker." Aktos and Ratatos saluted him.

If Shen Muke were here

, he would remember that the person in front of him was in the original plot, and he and Grand Duke Baikal led the army to station outside Qicheng City, allowing the integration movement to enter Qicheng City and escalate the situation, in an attempt to provoke the main battle of the war between Wu and Yan. One of the nobles.

Although he was still very proud at this time, his ending was not very good. In the original plot, he committed suicide with Grand Duke Baikal after the conspiracy was exposed.

But now, because of Shen Muke's outstanding performance in the Battle of Blood Peak, Grand Duke Baikal is gone! !

╮(￣▽￣)╭

The established plot has undergone many changes because of the lack of a duke, and for the current Earl of Dunkel, this change is positive.

Although Grand Duke Baikal died in the Battle of Blood Peak, as a noble, his heirs can still inherit the title and family business.

Although Ursus was beaten to pieces in the Battle of Blood Peak, the Third Army was still there.

Therefore, with the death of the older generation of Baikal Grand Dukes, Viscount Dunker ushered in his golden period.

On the one hand, because the new Grand Duke of Baikal is only in his early twenties, he is really young. Therefore, most of the affairs of the entire Third Army are now managed by himself, which expands his power a lot.

On the other hand, perhaps the new emperor was out of appeasement to the established nobles, or perhaps he considered the inadequacy of letting one viscount manage the entire army... In short, Dunker was upgraded from the original viscount to a count, which made Dunker He was completely freed from the shadow of Grand Duke Baikal, and he could build his own team in the Third Army. At this time, he was eager for talents.

And Aktos and Ratatos came here just for this.

"Good day, two young men, you have had a hard time on the road..." Earl Dunkel nodded and took out two pieces of information.

Count Dunkel stood up. He walked around the wide desk and walked up to Aktos and Ratatos. He looked at them and looked at the information in his hands.

It is hard to believe that Earl Dunker and Marquis Boris have a good personal relationship, because one of them is a war-minded noble and the other is a new noble, and they have different positions.

However, for the two of them, this seemingly strange relationship is exactly a kind of security.

Through Count Dunkel, Boris was able to obtain a lot of information about the main war faction, which allowed him to quickly gain the trust of the new emperor Fyodor, and also allowed his career to gradually develop in Qicheng.

Through Boris, Count Dunker could quickly obtain a large amount of resources from the new nobles, which also allowed him to quickly take shape in the layout of the Third Army.

The arrival of Aktos and Ratatos today was due to the introduction of Marquis Boris.

Aktos and Ratatos never forgot Shen Muke's plan. They always worked hard to collect intelligence on Ursus, and tried hard to enter the military or political circles of Ursus. Finally, through Mr. Astrov, They were recommended by Marquis Boris.

Earl Dunkel looked around the two of them and already made a decision in his mind.

Judging from their appearance and information, these two people are both talented people. One is a shrewd young lady from a business family, and the other is a brave military man from a military family. These are exactly the talents he needs!

Earl Dunkel nodded, having made up his mind, and said: "Because you were introduced by Marquis Boris, I should keep you two by my side...but you also know that the Third Army After all, it is not my responsibility to appoint some people to important positions at will. It is inevitable that others will gossip, especially those in the Fourth Army... In this way, you two start from the grassroots level and lead the team. Aktos Pei Erroche will be the captain, and Ratatos Brontau will be the staff officer. I will transfer a small team to your command. After a period of time, I will arrange new positions for you."

Aktos and Ratatos looked at each other, nodded tacitly, and said to Earl Dunkel: "Thank you for your care, Lord Earl Dunkel, we accept your arrangement, and we all obey your arrangements. "

The corners of Earl Dunkel's lips curled up, and he was even more surprised by the two people's reactions.

In fact, when Earl Dunkel made the arrangement, he was worried that the two of them would be ignorant of current affairs and forcefully ask for a position from him. After all, children from big families are somewhat arrogant and defective.

Now when I look at it, I can see that these two people not only look extraordinary, but they also have such good intentions. Marquis Boris really gives face to him, and he really gives away talents when he says he will give them away. Look at the quality, it is better than the so-called outstanding talents he found before. I don’t know how many!

Count Dunkel would not know that the character of Aktos and Ratatos was completely nurtured by Shen Muke.

During the time when Shen Muke returned to Xierag, in order to let his students appreciate the hard work of workers, and in order to let these future seeds fully understand his red theory, Shen Muke often asked Ah Kotos and the others went into the factory to tighten screws and went to the fields to plant crops.

Although these students may not achieve any results from doing these jobs, this kind of labor can indeed exercise people.

Through this kind of training, Aktos became more calm, while Ratatos erased the temperament of a young lady from her body.

Now they have surpassed too many people.
