Chapter 13 Preparations
According to Hiro, Huo Tianzun broke through the realm and went away shortly after opening Wanbaotian and obtaining the innate Dao weapon. The Ten Thousand Treasures Heaven and the Heavenly Fire Arena were left to his four disciples.
These four disciples were all accepted by him in the Blood River Realm, and they stayed here and were in charge of the affairs here. In order to avoid disputes, the Four Heavenly Kings unanimously decided after consultation to determine the owner of the Heavenly Fire Tower through the competition of the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavens.
Whoever can obtain the most treasures and the highest value in the Heavenly Fire Tower will become the tower master for the next twenty years.
According to the agreement, the number of people sent into the tower by the Quartet at a time is twenty people, the realm cultivation is not limited, and the way to get the treasure is not limited, anyway, as long as you can take the treasure alive, the treasure you get is divided in half, but in fact, the one who can come back alive is usually not even half.
With the opening and entering again and again, coupled with the intentional connivance of the Four Heavenly Kings, the secret of Wanbao Heaven gradually ceased to be a secret, and many people knew that there was a world full of treasures under the Heavenly Fire Arena. Since Huo Tianzun was still alive, and there were no more Dao soldiers to take away in Wanbao Heaven, it did not attract any powerful coveting, but it attracted countless young people who yearned for treasures. They fought and fought in the arena, hoping to attract the attention of the Four Heavenly Kings and become explorers who were qualified to enter the treasure land.
Bonuses, resources, treasures, and even inter-ethnic hatred have led countless cultivators to come here one after another, filling the endless sea of blood under the arena with their own lives or those of their enemies......
"So now I'm one of the twenty people chosen by the Western Heavenly King? Isn't that twenty people? Why are there only five of us?"
At this moment, Tang Zheng looked at Nashan and said.
Tang Zheng only thought about this matter and agreed.
There was no reason for him to disagree, it was a crisis, it was a trap, but at the same time it was an opportunity.
After Tang Zheng agreed, Hiro laughed and left, leaving the five of them in the hall.
Nashan replied, "Are you so well chosen to be a human being?" In order to obtain enough excellent talents, the four heavenly kings are also constantly investigating and selecting suitable talents. It is said that there are 20 candidates, but in fact, it has to be selected from hundreds of candidates. β
Black-eyed said: "Of course, it is not easy to choose from so many people. But then again, if it's a really good character, it's natural to be able to choose it very lightly. β
Qinglian interface: "So the sooner he is selected, the more it means that he is excellent, and a few of us just don't need to be screened in the sea of people, and we are directly favored by the Western Heavenly King, and we are called into the team in advance and trained." β
It turns out that this is the case, Tang Zheng understood.
The water demon has smiled and said: "Here it is again, take the opportunity to boast about yourself at every opportunity." Brother Tang, don't brag about the two of them. It's hard to say who is superior and who is inferior. The criteria for the selection of the four heavenly kings are actually different. In his early years, the King of the West Heaven experienced danger in Wanbaotian and died nine times, so he preferred the one with a low realm, because the danger faced by this kind of person was less. But if the realm is low, the strength will inevitably be slightly lower. The five of us, except for Nashan, which is the heart demon period, the others are all in the spirit ring period. This kind of strength is relatively safe in Wanbao Heaven, but if it is against people sent by other Heavenly Kings, it is difficult to say. It is said that the favorite of the Northern Heavenly King is the strongest in battle. He doesn't care if he is in danger or not, and if he has a soul, he will resolutely not use his heart demons. β
Tang Zai's brows furrowed when he heard this.
Although with his current strength, it is not difficult to challenge the level, but since the people who entered this time are all good players found by the Four Heavenly Kings from the arena, and basically all of them have the strength to challenge the level, it is not easy to face such an elite to leapfrog. What's more, there may also be a soul transformation period in it, and the more elite the two levels, the less you can expect to be able to simply win.
"Anyway, it's always good to be selected early. Nashan said: "From now on, Tang Ran's expenses in the Heavenly Fire Tower will be all taken care of by the Western Heavenly King." β
Tang Zai's eyes lit up: "You mean that I can use the qiΔ in the Heavenly Fire Tower at will?"
The black eyes have already said: "As long as it is the resources, exercises, and treasures under the name of the Western Heavenly King, you can choose." As for consumable resources such as materials and magic weapons, as long as they are not too excessive, you can use them. As long as he can improve his strength, the West Heavenly King will not be stingy with this investment. β
This is the biggest advantage of being selected in advance, and you can use the resources in the tower to improve yourself. Because of the huge cost, the Four Heavenly Kings will only choose people with potential to invest. This is also the reason why after learning that Tang Zheng can read through the original scriptures, Hiro will attach so much importance to it. Reading through the original text does not mean that you are strong, but it certainly means that you have great potential.
According to Nashan, there are still one hundred and fifty days left before the official opening of Wanbaotian. During this time, what everyone has to do is to improve themselves as much as possible and enhance their strength. If you have any needs, you can tell Tari, as long as Tari can do it, he will try his best to meet it.
With this promise, Tang Zheng was no longer polite, and directly listed all the materials he needed, and let the Heavenly Fire Tower find them for himself, even the materials needed to repair the teleportation array were also included in it.
Of course, even if the teleportation array was repaired, Tang Tribulation would not be able to summon the main body in Wanbaotian.
The reason is simple, Marblotten itself is a small world of its own. From Wanbao Heaven to the Blood River Realm, and then from the Blood River Realm to the Nine Peerless Immortal Array, there are multiple boundary walls in between, and the teleportation array cannot break through so many boundary walls. Unless it is an immortal-level large array, it is difficult to have a teleportation array that can continuously break through the boundary wall. The reason why Tang Zheng was able to connect to the secret realm of the soldier master was because it was located between the boundary gaps, which made it an excellent transit station. Through the GuΓ² Soldier Master Secret Realm, the thickness of the barrier between the two realms was equivalent to being weakened by half.
Don't underestimate this half, sometimes, a trace is a trench. For the teleportation array, doubling the thickness of the barrier may increase the difficulty of teleportation by ten times. Only with the monstrous power of the Lord of the Blood River can it be possible to forcibly break the boundary.
But if the main body enters the Blood River Realm beforehand, then summoning the main body is not a problem.
βββββββββββββ
The fifth floor of the Heavenly Fire Tower.
Pushing open the heavy door, Tang Zheng stepped in, and in front of him was a grand and spectacular strange scene.
An ice cliff stretched in front of him, like a glacier through the ages, exuding a compelling cold. On the other side of the ice cliff is the scene of a lava volcano, the volcano shuttles with raging flames, colliding with a scene of snow waves dancing at the junction of the two places, and the ice wind and heat waves hit his face at the same time, making Tang Zheng fall into the strange feeling of ice and fire.
This is the famous cultivation treasure land in the Tianhuo Tower, the Ice and Fire Cliff, which is the best treasure land for cultivating the two qi of yin and yang, and it is the semi-natural and semi-artificial cultivation treasure land formed by Huo Tianzun who used his supreme divine power to move a piece of eternal frozen glacier, and then moved a dark volcano, and then connected it with the two circles of yin and yang, and then used the eternal divine stone to form a semi-natural and semi-artificial cultivation treasure land.
Practicing yin and yang qi exercises in this place can withstand the outside for more than ten days a day.
If Tang Zheng wants to improve himself, the first thing he has to do is to improve the Wuji Heavenly Skill. His current Infinite Armillary Skill has only been cultivated to the first layer, and his improvement in strength is still relatively limited, if it is promoted above the third layer, his power will be doubled.
With Tang Zheng's understanding of the way of yin and yang, coupled with the effect of this Ice and Fire Cliff, I believe that it will not take too long to cultivate to the third layer.
At this moment, when I came to the middle of the glacier and the volcano, between the extreme cold and the extreme heat, even with the body of Tang Zheng, I couldn't help but shiver.
Cold snaps and heat waves hit his body at the same time, the ice almost clotting his blood, and the flames almost melting his body. Tang Zheng knew that without further ado, he had already carried out the exercises of Wuji Hun Tian Gong. Under the operation of the exercises, a large amount of ice and fire breath was absorbed and transformed, forming a trace of yin and yang qi into Tang Zheng's body.
This Yin and Yang Qi gathered so quickly that Tang Zheng could almost clearly feel the improvement of his strength, and it felt as if he had cultivated in the Water Moon Cave Heaven at the beginning, and he couldn't help but marvel at the extraordinariness of this place in his heart.
However, because of the magic of the Ice and Fire Cliff, even Tang Zheng could not dominate alone, and he could only cultivate here for three hours a day, which was already the limit he could apply for. Even so, the cultivation of three hours in the Ice and Fire Cliff was worth the work of the past few days.
Three hours later, Tang Zheng left the Ice and Fire Cliff.
There were waiters waiting outside the door.
"Are you ready for everything I want?" asked Tang Zai.
The waiter had already picked up a pile of books and replied respectfully, "All of them have been prepared for real people." β
These classics are all selected by the waiters from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in accordance with the instructions of the Tang Dynasty, there are sword techniques, sword books, as well as whips, forks, axes, hooks, axes, guns, halberds and other classics, it can be said that there are all kinds of cheats.
Tang Zheng was not polite, took them all, and then left.
The waiter saw that he took away these many classics in one go, and pursed his lips and said to himself: "If you want to finish learning so much, most of them are still playing tricks." β
He didn't know that Tang Zheng wanted so many classics, and he really had to learn them all.
Only by mastering the use of various weapons can Tang Zheng truly bring out the power of the Emperor Blade.
Of course, all learning is all learning, and there are still emphasis.
Tang Zheng still attaches the most importance to knife skills, after all, what he is good at is using knives. The knife spectrum chosen by Tang Zheng is the Black Prison Killing Knife, and this set of knife techniques is the Demon Knife Method, which is extremely killing. Tang Zheng chose it mainly because it could cooperate with the way of killing that he had comprehended. The demons love to kill, so the exercises of the demons are often in line with the two ways of killing and destroying. In addition to the Black Prison Killing Knife, Tang Zheng also chose a knife scripture, the Shadowless Soul Chasing Knife. This knife is mainly characterized by the shadowless and formless sword of the shot, if the Black Prison Killing Knife is mainly fierce killing, then the Shadowless Soul Chaser is mainly imperceptible.
As for the swordsmanship, Tang Zheng directly chose the Immortal Sword. The Immortal Sword was originally able to be cherished and placed in the attic, and its value was naturally extraordinary. In addition, Tang Zheng chose two sets of swordsmanship, but they were used to confuse people.
As for the other weapons, they are mainly mastered by the general mastery, and he does not seek to be proficient, as long as he can properly exert its power when the emperor blade is transformed into other weapons.
Even so, it was not easy to master multiple sword techniques and sword techniques in such a short period of time, so in the following time, Tang Zheng devoted himself to cultivation.
In addition to cultivating by himself, Tang Zheng also had to train with Nashan and them.
As the five most valued by Hiro, in addition to the ability to fight alone, it is also extremely important to fight and cooperate together. And in order to improve the strength of the five people, Hiro even came up with a special set of joint battle methods: the small five elements battle array.
This set of small five-element battle arrays was obtained by Huo Tianzun when he traveled to the Ten Thousand Realms, and was later passed on to Hiro. This set of battle formations can only be performed by five people jointly, and its small range is its disadvantage, but the power of the combined forces is far greater than that of ordinary battle formations of the same scale.
In addition to cultivating, Tang Zheng would still fight in the arena. The resources that Hiro can give are not unlimited, but improving his strength is a bottomless pit that can never be filled. Because of this, the funding from Hiro not only did not make Tang Zheng stop making money, but made him fight more fiercely, and the money he earned was spent like water.
Time passed in a hurry, and forty days passed in a blink of an eye.
Today, Tang Zheng was still cultivating in the secret room, and a voice suddenly came from outside: "Tang Zhenren, the materials you want have been sent." β
Tang Zai's spirit was shocked: "Is it finally here? Send it in!"
The door opened, and a group of Heavenly Fire Tower warriors had entered with several large boxes.
Tang Zheng opened the box and saw that the box was full of materials he needed.
These materials are needed to repair the teleportation array, but more are other materials. And it was these large boxes of materials that used up almost all of his resource quota. Cultivators like them, who were selected in advance, each had a large amount of resource quotas, including pills for cultivation and all kinds of magic weapons, but Tang Zheng didn't choose any of them, he didn't ask for any pills and magic weapons, but exchanged all the quotas for materials.
Not only that, but he also took out all the income he had earned in the arena these days, and even mortgaged the income from the arena for the next hundred days to obtain this resource.
He asked for so many materials that it took him forty days to get them together with the means of the Heavenly Fire Tower.
At this moment, looking at the materials sent, Tang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I don't want this matter to be known by anyone, do you understand?"
The samurai at the head arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured!"
After those warriors retreated, Tang Zheng took out a formation map and began to put the materials in the box into the formation map one by one, and at the same time kept drawing on the formation map with an array pen, drawing one formation pattern after another.
It didn't take long for the formation map to be drawn.
With a wave of Tang Zai's hand, thirteen swords had appeared at the same time, and they disappeared into the formation diagram.
As a result, the shadows of thirteen swords appeared in the array.
At the top of them are three divine swords, and in the center are ten extremely magic weapons.
There is still a large blank space below, which is a treasure waiting to be filled, but for the time being, there is no treasure in Tang Zheng's hand to enter.
Zhou Tian Xingchen Ten Thousand Treasures Great Array.
This is a treasure control formation that can contain treasures in the array and release them when necessary. All the magic weapons, the divine treasures, are used through the guΓ² formation, so that the cultivator saves the aura and energy needed to use the magic weapon, and only the spirit stones are consumed.
Zhou Tian Xingchen Ten Thousand Treasures Great Array, as the name suggests, can contain up to 10,000 treasures inside. Now Tang Zheng only has thirteen treasures in the array, but he is not in a hurry, after all, there are magic weapons in the Ten Thousand Treasures. Once enough magic weapons are collected in the formation and released together, their power can be imagined, even if it is Zifu Sendai, it may not be impossible to fight.
Of course, to control so many magic weapons, the amount of spirit stones consumed is also extremely amazing. Fortunately, Tang Zheng didn't plan to really collect all the treasures, as far as he was concerned, it would be good to be able to collect all the treasures, considering the role of the three divine treasures, it would not be a problem to deal with the opponents of the soul transformation stage.
However, this was only part of the preparations for the Tang Tribulation.
A large amount of materials is not only to meet the needs of the teleportation array and the Zhou Tian Xingchen Wanbao Great Array, there are also more formations, more formation diagrams waiting for Tang Zheng to make/make and use.
In this trip to Wanbaotian, the reliance on Tang Zai's hands to become big is destined not to be the emperor blade, not the sword intent, not the flesh and blood grinding plate, but his array level.
One by one, the array diagrams were rolled out, and the materials were put in.
In addition to the collection of the Heavenly Fire Tower, including the large amount of materials left before the Tang Tribulation, the endless resources were turned into formations and put into it.
If Hiro is allowed to see it, he will definitely be shocked by this scene. Because the value of the materials consumed by the Tang Tribulation alone is greater than the value that a cultivator can bring out from Wanbaotian under normal circumstancesβassuming that the value of the magic weapon that each person brings out from Wanbaotian is one hundred, then the materials consumed by Tang Tribulation alone are worth two hundred.
After using up more than eighty percent of the materials, Tang Zheng finally stopped, and at this time there were seventeen more formation maps in his hand.
After completing this, Tang Zai said to himself: "This side is done, just look at that side." β
ββββββββββββ
Qixia realm, royal court underground palace.
A boundary-breaking teleportation array is being developed/worked.
Tang Zheng arranged the materials one by one, and explained from time to time while making/making: "This is the energy supply array, if there is damage here, it will lead to a shortage of energy supply, and in some cases, it will not be able to start, and in a bad case, it may be a scene where it will be ejected halfway through." At that point, you'll find that you can be catapulted into the endless void, or you can be exposed to the golden flames and burned to ashes in a breath without even passing through the boundary wall. Therefore, the perimeter of the circle must be set up to protect it, and no one or any monster is allowed to approach. Before each activation, it is necessary to carefully check the magic circle, and do not make mistakes. β
Xu Miaoran listened very carefully.
Since it was a fixed teleportation array, the cost of setting up the array this time was much lower than the last time, but despite this, it also required millions of spirit money. Fortunately, Tang Zheng has nothing else now, just a lot of money. Tearing down a dungeon would give you enough wealth to set up ten of these teleportation arrays. After dismantling all the jade pedestals that could not be turned into gold sand into materials and selling them, Tang Zheng finally completed this teleportation array.
So far, from the Qixia Realm to the Blood River Realm, Tang Zheng has successfully realized the teleportation of the two realms.
At this moment, while Tang Zheng was making/making, he explained to her the method of using the teleportation array. When the last bit of material was placed on it, the teleportation array glowed with a blink of light.
It represents the official completion of the connection to the Soldier's Secret Realm.
Retracting his hand, Tang Zhengchang took a breath, and then smiled at Xu Miaoran: "Are you interested in taking a look at the legendary Soldier Master Secret Realm and the Blood River Realm?"
"It's been a long time coming. Xu Miaoran's eyes flashed with excitement.
