As the sun sets, on a desolate spot in western Ruzhou, a man and a brown bear walk briskly.

The man was a stout man, dressed in an unknown animal skin, with disheveled hair that obscured half of his face, and two axes pinned to his waist, one of which consisted of a dark black blade and a brown wooden handle, with a dark yellow rattan entwined in between.

The other is all-silver, only the size of a palm, and seems to have been forged from some kind of unique metal.

The brown bear beside him, five feet tall at the shoulders and one foot long, with four bear paws with black claws, stepped on the ground alternately, and he tilted his head to look at the man from time to time, slowing down intermittently and walking with the man.

"Ahem......"

The stout man suddenly stopped, covered his mouth and coughed, the brown bear immediately turned his head, and in his small dark eyes, there was an anthropomorphic look of worry, and it arched the man's shoulder, and a whimper came out of his mouth.

"Don't worry, it's been a bit frequent lately, and it's still up to it, let's speed up......"

The man waved his hand and quickened his pace, his left palm open, revealing a thick, dark red clot of blood.

"Woo ......"

A helpless smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth: "You don't have to carry me, your physical condition is similar to mine, and it is best to save physical strength, as long as you get to the Martial Saint Holy City, the Martial Saint seniors there will definitely have a way to help us." ”

The brown bear nodded lightly on the bear's head, leaned closer to the stout man, and his steps increased a little.

......

The man in the animal skin, called Xiong Shan, took his own name, he had no memory of who his parents were, and he had been begging outside for as a child.

It wasn't until he was fifteen years old that a martial artist discovered Xiongshan's martial arts training qualifications and brought him into the well-known sect of the Jin Kingdom, the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa.

In addition to him, there were hundreds of children of the same age, all orphans found from all over the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa.

Originally, Xiong Shan was supposed to go to practice basic skills, but after being checked by an old woman, he lived in a luxury manor.

In the manor, there are people who take care of Xiongshan's diet, and there is also a one-on-one teacher, and the only thing this old lady wants him to do is to practice a practice.

You can have food by practicing the exercises, and for Xiong Shan at that time, it was simply a fairy day, and he promised to come down.

It took him two years to cultivate this technique to the third level, but what greeted him next was hellish torture.

Xiong Shan later learned that the old woman was over ninety years old, the great-grandmother of the owner, and an immortal cultivator, who practiced the art of immortality.

The old woman was unable to break through the realm and increase her longevity due to her lack of qualifications, so she put her hope on a crippled secret technique.

Immortal cultivators have the method of seizing and giving up, and they can't increase their longevity, and they can't give up demon beasts.

This secret technique is whimsical, transforming the bodies of humans and demon beasts into each other, so that the two physical bodies are connected, so as to exchange souls, borrow the body of demon beasts to continue their lives, and even take the initiative to cultivate demon spiritual power after that.

The rest of the old woman's time was spent on the perfection of secret arts, and the Ten Thousand Beast Villa was used by her as a cover, but unfortunately the experiment between ordinary people and beasts did not inspire her much.

Fortunately, she had a good chance, not only caught a first-level upper-level demon bear, but also brought a litter of bears by the way.

So the old woman looked for a child with a spiritual root and let him cultivate to the third level, so that she could conduct experiments.

Those who have spiritual roots, there is no one in ten thousand, plus Xiong Mountain, and three of them will be found, the first two have been played to death, and Xiong Mountain is her last hope.

In the next few years, in the underground stone chamber full of blood, the flesh of Xiong Shan and a bear cub was dissected by the old woman day by day, and the bones of one person and one demon were exchanged with each other.

With the help of the immortal cultivator's recovery spell, as well as some strange elixirs, the replaced bones gradually fused with their respective bodies.

Xiong Shan is bound by a strong prohibition, and he can't commit suicide if he wants to, and the feeling of pulling out the marrow and changing the bones is simply worse than death.

He spent three years in such agony that if it weren't for the company of a bear cub, he would have gone mad.

Three years later, under the influence of the old woman's secret technique, the xenomorph bones in Xiong Shan's body became the size of a human race, and his meridian dantian was not affected, and the basic exercises entered the fourth layer in a daze.

He even had a sense of heart-to-heart connection with the brown bear.

Despite this, Xiong Shan's body became weaker and weaker, his internal organs gradually failed, and his complexion deteriorated day by day, and the cub was slightly better and did not show any special symptoms.

After the old woman observed, she was extremely excited, this secret technique seemed to have succeeded, as for Xiong Shan's physical condition, she didn't care about it, as long as the demon beast's body was normal.

When she was ready, she couldn't wait to go into the secret room and bring the cub inside.

After that, I don't know what happened, there were terrible roars from the secret room, and a terrifying power erupted, and even the walls of the secret room were blown open.

Xiongshan was stunned by the air wave, and when he woke up, he found that the old woman was gone, and the body of a huge brown bear was lying on the ground, and the young bear was whimpering beside him.

In the end, he learned all this through the relics of the old lady, and Xiong Shan, who had regained his freedom, was angry in his heart, and the equally sad and angry little brown bear slaughtered the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa.

......

Xiong Shan thought back to everything more than ten years ago, and couldn't help but touch his waist, where a storage bag was hanging, feeling the twenty tokens inside, he showed a happy look.

"If it weren't for the Holy Martial Order, I'm afraid I'd have died a long time ago. ”

......

After killing the owner of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Villa, he accidentally discovered the Holy Martial Order.

This seems to be an immortal cultivator's magic weapon, but the strange thing is that it can be opened with blood without spells or divine sense.

After the fusion of blood and holy martial order, a strange prohibition also appeared, acting on the divine soul, and it seemed that it was impossible to reveal the contents to others.

Inside is a technique called "Canglan Du".

This exercise specializes in refining the physical body, and there are only five layers, corresponding to the first to fifth level martial artists, and the fourth level martial artists described in it are equivalent to super-first-class masters, and the complete exercises seem to have the sixth and seventh layers.

The seventh layer of Dacheng entered the realm of the Martial Saint, and the martial artists of this realm were even able to kill the immortal cultivators who flew away from the sky.

Xiong Shan was taken aback, he destroyed the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, knowing how huge the gap between immortal cultivators and martial artists was, even if he only had four layers of qi refining period, he could destroy a sect with the help of talismans, and the martial saint could actually kill immortal cultivators.

With a large collapse of his physical body, he had no way to continue cultivating immortals, and almost without hesitation, he began to cultivate the vicissitudes of life, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that the symptoms of physical collapse were actually reduced.

Later, Xiong Mountain spent ten years cultivating to the fifth level of Great Perfection, but unfortunately the vicissitudes could only slow down, and after another ten years, the physical body would still collapse.

The disheartened Bear Mountain took the brown bear to travel around, and the name of the beast king Bear Mountain gradually spread in the martial arts.

Until one day, the Holy Martial Order suddenly sent a message to his divine soul.

It is necessary to rush to the Hengduan Mountains west of Ruzhou within a year and enter the Holy City of Warriors, otherwise the spirit will be destroyed.

The Holy Martial Order can sense other tokens within a hundred miles, and if the holder can capture twenty, he can worship the Martial Artist Holy City, and even have the opportunity to cultivate the method of immortality with the body of a mortal.

After Xiong Shan got this information, he immediately ignited hope in his heart and regarded it as the last straw.

As far as he knew, without a spiritual root, he couldn't cultivate immortals at all, and if this martial arts holy city could actually do this, then the problem of his physical collapse would definitely be easily solved.

So he set out for Ruzhou, and when he met the owner of the Holy Martial Order on the way, he did not hesitate to destroy it.

......

One person and one bear walked for another half an hour, and a cloud of mist gradually appeared in front of him, and the Holy Martial Order in Xiong Shan's hand became hot.

Xiong Shan patted the brown bear beside him, coughed and said, "It's the magic circle of immortal cultivators, old man, we're almost there." ”

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a man and a bear leaned on each other and walked into the vast mist.
