I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 672 Ding Yan's Choice, Two Years Later
That's right, the person who was showing off on the official website just now was Bai Zhengyu.

Some of what he said was indeed confidential.

For example, the development progress and detailed introduction of the Qi and Blood Treasure, as well as the news of Nangong Hong's customized Flame Gun.

These are things that even many grandmasters don't know.

Of course, Nangong Hong was not the only one who obtained the Qi and Blood Treasure.

Several people, including Ji Xuan, Yuan Liren, Sikong Yang, Qingyue, and Mills, also possess third-tier magical artifacts.

This is because they made great contributions to the construction of the Wuxiang Sky Road, so each of them was awarded a precious artifact.

These treasures are worth between 40,000 and 50,000 contribution points, making them the most top-tier extraordinary weapon configurations to date!

Forging a magical artifact capable of carrying source energy is now far more difficult than creating one that merely carries blood and qi.

Therefore, although all Tier 3 weapons are called treasures, they are actually divided into two types: source energy treasures and blood energy treasures.

The difference between the two lies in whether they can carry the source energy.

However, since they are both Tier 3 weapons, this does not mean that source energy treasures are better than blood and qi treasures.

For Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters below the Unity Realm, the effects of Qi and Blood Treasures are significantly greater.

After all, Qi and Blood Treasures can enhance Qi and Blood.

However, there was no source energy treasure.

Therefore, it is better to use Qi and Blood Treasures when you are in the Unity Realm.

As for those above the Unity Realm, they can only choose Source Energy Treasures.

Even if the source energy artifact cannot provide an amplification effect, its ability to bear and conduct source energy is already of epoch-making significance!

Having such a weapon would definitely be more effective than fighting bare-handed during training.

Not to mention it can greatly enhance combat effectiveness.

Of course, they are both third-tier treasures.

The materials used in energy weapons are much better than those used in health and vitality artifacts.

There's no way around it; the requirements for materials to carry energy are extremely demanding!
It requires extraordinary materials that can perfectly resonate with the source energy; their rarity and forging difficulty far surpass those of materials used to forge Qi and Blood Treasures.

This results in the fact that, even though they are both third-tier treasures, source energy treasures are much more expensive.

It is said that even the cheapest energy artifact will not be less than 30,000 contribution points.

The price of Qi and Blood Treasures is usually between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan.

Those powerful artifacts that can boost health and mana by 100% might reach 30,000.

However, there is only one Qi and Blood Treasure with a 100% amplification effect so far, and most Qi and Blood Treasures have an amplification effect of around 70%.

Of course, that's one thing.

Currently, neither energy-generating artifacts nor qi-blood artifacts are yet in mass production.

The most difficult part of creating a Tier 3 artifact is to perfectly inscribe the matrix inside the extraordinary material, making it an integral part of the material itself, rather than simply attaching it to the surface.

This requires not only extremely high forging skills, but also a profound understanding of artistic conception and the circulation of qi and blood, in order to guide the matrix to resonate with the materials.

In other words, one needs to have a very high level of understanding of the laws and martial arts.

Modern technology can only produce ordinary ironware.

However, when it comes to refined artifacts and treasures, one needs to incorporate one's own understanding of martial arts and laws, and the two are simply incomparable.

This is precisely why refined artifacts and third-tier magical artifacts cannot be widely adopted.

After all, there are very few extraordinary individuals who can create refined artifacts and magical treasures these days.

Refining equipment is relatively easy; all that's needed is the ability to draw array patterns.

With the increasing number of extraordinary individuals in this field, it won't be long before it becomes widespread.

To create a treasure, one must not only understand the energy matrix, but also the principles of forging, and possess great strength.

Those below the Grandmaster level should basically forget about forging Qi and Blood Treasures, and only Jiang Zhe and Xiao Wen are capable of forging Source Energy Treasures.

The matrix that carries the source energy is something that ordinary people simply don't have the qualifications to inscribe.

Therefore, the Source Energy Treasure is currently only customized for Nangong Hong and his group of six!

Even if other people have the money, they can't buy it.

This is also why Bai Zhengyu looked so jealous.

The result was that we had just said it on the official website, and then someone came looking for us.

Nangong Hong naturally did not inspect it himself.

It could only be Nangong Hong who saw it and reported it to those lackeys of the Control Yuan.

Within the Control Yuan, Nangong Hong's prestige is exceptionally high.

"Damn it!"

Bai Zhengyu looked at the 5000 contribution points that had been deducted from his personal account, his lips twitching with heartache, and he couldn't help but curse.

These people from the Control Yuan really have nothing better to do!

You have to notify that show-off about such a trivial matter.

But does he really think Bai Zhengyu is easily intimidated?

Back when he and Nangong Hong were evenly matched, none of these people were even born yet.

"Hmph, I have now broken through to the Unity Realm and opened up five acupoints."

Even if I can't beat that show-off, I shouldn't be that much worse off!

"You want to hang me at the academy gate? Do you even have the ability?"

Bai Zhengyu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"But let's not stoop to his level for now. We'll deal with it after we come out of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road."

"By then, it's hard to say who will be hung at the academy gate by whom."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

She seemed to have already imagined the scene of herself showing off in front of Nangong Hong!
……

Earth Star, Panlong Town.

"The Sky Road of All Things!"

Upon seeing the news just published on the official website, a glint of desire flashed in Zheng Hao's eyes.

If one can cultivate in this Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road for thirty years, even if one cannot reach the Unity Realm, becoming a Grandmaster will definitely not be a problem at all.

"Unfortunately, the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Path is bound to be very dangerous!"

"I'm afraid that one wrong move could put my life in danger."

With his cultivation at the second level of the Transcendent Realm.

It's possible that some top geniuses at the first level of the Transcendent Realm could even kill him despite being at a higher level.

Unfortunately, his martial arts level was only at the entry level of internal strength, and he had not yet mastered the essence of martial arts.

With this level of strength, entering the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road would basically place them at the bottom.

He constantly faces dangers from all directions.

Although the rules state that it is strictly forbidden to kill an opponent after they have clearly given up or lost the ability to resist, sometimes you are not given any time to react at all.

Moreover, the rule does not say that sneak attacks are prohibited.

If you are ambushed by someone of the same or higher level, you may not even have a chance to admit defeat before you perish.

Zheng Hao took a deep breath to suppress the pounding in his heart.

He already has plenty of resources, so there's no need for him to take this risk.

With these resources, he should be able to break through to the early stage of Dark Force in martial arts, and his cultivation level should also reach the third stage of Transcendent Realm.

By then, the turmoil caused by defying fate will have completely passed!

He can choose to join a supernatural force or go back to his old profession.

Forty years from now, he can also seek to open the Heavenly Path of All Things a second time.

Of course, that being said, if Zheng Hao could get in this time, he would definitely go in without hesitation.

The main problem is that, given his abilities, it's simply impossible for him to pass the assessment.

On the other hand, he was worried that his identity would be exposed, so he gave up the idea of ​​entering the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road.

"Zheng Hao, dinner's ready!"

Just then, an old voice came from the kitchen.

A flicker of disgust flashed instinctively in his eyes.

But he quickly suppressed this disgust, replacing it with a gentle smile.

"You're here, Yuqing!"

He got up and went to the kitchen. Sitting at the dining table was an elderly woman with gray hair, but still quite spry; it was Liu Yuqing.

A simple five-dish meal with soup was laid out on the table, steaming hot.

"Eat up!"

Liu Yuqing pushed the bowl of rice she had prepared in front of Zheng Hao, her eyes filled with concern, but also with a hint of complex emotions that were hard to detect.

Zheng Hao has returned, and although he does seem to love himself very much.

But looking at her own face, which is now full of wrinkles, Liu Yuqing always feels a sense of indescribable distance and bitterness.

Moreover, due to their different social statuses, the two of them don't actually have much in common.

It was usually Zheng Hao who was talking, and she was listening.

She couldn't understand most of what he said about qi and blood, or martial arts; she could only judge whether it was good or bad from Zheng Hao's expression.

This invisible sense of distance made her feel more powerless than the wrinkles etched on her face by time.

Zheng Hao took the bowl, ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, but couldn't taste it.

He keenly sensed Liu Yuqing's cautious distance, and the feeling of unease in his heart rose again.

He hated this atmosphere, hated the warmth he had to deliberately maintain, and hated even more this old woman who was completely out of place with him.

But he had to be patient.

"What are you thinking about? Let's eat together!"

"After we finish eating, let's go for a stroll in town."

"okay!"

Liu Yuqing nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Since returning, Zheng Hao has mostly been cultivating and has rarely offered to go shopping with her.

Seeing the gleam in Liu Yuqing's eyes that appeared because of his casual remark, Zheng Hao's inward sneer deepened, but he maintained a gentle demeanor on the surface:

"I've noticed you've been staying home a lot lately, and I'm getting a bit bored with my cultivation too, so it'll be good for you to go out for a walk."

This was certainly not what he truly believed.

He suggested going shopping mainly to integrate into local life more naturally.

"Alright, let's eat!"

at the same time.

Tanglin Village, five kilometers away.

Xia Yuan and Uncle Ding's family were also having their meal in the courtyard.

The Spring Festival had just passed, and the outside temperature was around zero degrees Celsius.

At the advanced age of 103, Uncle Ding should have found this level of extreme cold unbearable.

However, at this moment, he was only wearing a thin gray cloth shirt.

The reason for this is that Xia Yuan changed the surrounding temperature, making it similar to the temperature in spring.

Uncle Ding was already used to this.

He sipped his tea with a ruddy complexion, enjoying the happy time spent with his children and grandchildren.

Ding Yan's mother bustled about, a satisfied smile on her face, occasionally serving food to Xia Yuan and Uncle Ding.

"Xiao Yan, why do you look so absent-minded?"

At the dinner table, Ding's mother couldn't help but look at her son with concern.

Ding Yan shook his head and replied with a smile:

"Mom, I'm fine. I was just thinking about some issues related to cultivation."

"You child, just eat your meal properly. Think about cultivation after you finish eating."

"Well, I see!"

Seeing his mother's nagging, Ding Yan felt a hint of helplessness, but he still nodded obediently.

After meal.

Hua Changfeng smiled and moved closer to Ding Yan.

"Xiao Yan, did you also see the announcement about Wanxiang Tianlu?"

"Ok!"

Ding Yan nodded.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road was published on the official website of the Extraordinary Ones, and any Extraordinary One can view it, so he naturally saw it.

"Judging from your appearance just now, could it be that you intend to venture into the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Path?"

Hua Changfeng had guessed what Ding Yan was thinking just by looking at his expression.

With the opening of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Path, this kid must have some ideas.

There's no way around it; the environment and resources of Vientiane Skyway are truly very attractive.

Anyone who wants to go further would absolutely not want to give up this opportunity.

Of course, cultivating alongside the Origin Ancestor is not much different.

But young people always yearn for a wider world, eager to compete with their peers and experience their own legend.

Hua Changfeng had seen many people like this when he was at the Origin Academy.

Or rather, most of the students at Origin Academy have this kind of personality.

Few people want to be constantly bound, especially top geniuses.

Although Ding Yan cannot compare to the top geniuses of Origin Academy, he is still quite good!

Such a young man is naturally ambitious and unwilling to be content with a small corner of the world.

But to everyone's surprise, Ding Yan shook his head.

"At first, I did want to explore the Vientiane Sky Road."

"But now, I'm not going!"

As he spoke, Ding Yan's gaze involuntarily drifted to his father, whose ruddy face still bore the marks of time, and to his mother's slightly hunched back as she busied herself in the kitchen.

My mother is now seventy years old, and my father is seventy-three.

If he stays in the Vientiane Skyway for thirty years, he may never see his parents again!

Thirty years may not seem like much to him, who is currently in the golden age of cultivation.

But for aging parents, this is almost all they have left.

Moreover, Grandpa and Grandma don't have much time left either.

He couldn't imagine the scene where, if he spent thirty years in arduous cultivation on the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road, he would return with no relatives left.

"You little rascal, you've got a good heart!"

Hua Changfeng looked at the expression on Ding Yan's face and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

Only now did he finally understand why the Origin Ancestor liked this kid.

far away.

Xia Yuan, who was playing chess with Uncle Ding, smiled slightly.

To be able to give up a trip to Vientiane Sky Road for the sake of loved ones—this pure heart is truly rare.

Not everyone can make choices in this kind of situation.

Like Zhang Yao, although she was very good to Zhang Changsheng, she was unwilling to give up her position as a tutor at Lingxiao Academy and return to live in this small town.

Even though she knew that she might receive guidance from Xia Yuan after returning.

But she still refused.

Zhang Yao chose a broader stage and a brighter future.

This is understandable; everyone has their own aspirations.

Moreover, Zhang Changsheng also hoped that Zhang Yao could have a higher status outside.

Shaking his head, Xia Yuan placed the piece down.

The crisp sound of the chess pieces colliding with the chessboard seemed to open the door to time.

The courtyard, with its year-round spring-like atmosphere, rippled outwards like waves on water.

Light and shadow shift, sun and moon alternate.

The tea on the table went from warm to cold, and then it was replaced.

Two years later.
