The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 263 A Civilization That Born Demigods and the Cultivation Tower It Built
"Can this stone sculpture help one achieve the level of Blood Clotting?"

Lin Qi stared at the golden stone sculpture, his heart filled with astonishment and surprise.

The Blood Coagulation Realm is a realm that is difficult to reach even in major cities. In fact, in many cities, apart from the city lord, other forces probably don't even have a fragment of the cultivation method for the Blood Coagulation Realm.

He was also troubled about how to solve the problem of cultivation afterward. The only possibility was to obtain a little bit of inheritance from the ruins controlled by the City of Light. Maybe it would allow players to figure out how to enter the Blood Condensation Realm, just like the city lord. After all, there was no detailed information about the Blood Condensation Realm, only a general introduction.

It's hard to imagine that a golden stone sculpture could help someone achieve the level of blood clotting.

At this moment, not only was Lin Qi surprised, but even Ino and Wu Zhuoqun from the City of Light's garrison looked at the golden stone sculpture that City Lord Di Luoya had taken out in disbelief, their eyes filled with doubt and disbelief. This was the first time in their lives they had ever heard of such a thing.

For martial artists in the city who are at the Bone Forging Realm, the Blood Condensation Realm is already a heaven-like existence. If they can step into the Blood Condensation Realm in this lifetime, they can probably laugh in their dreams.

As for those beings above the Blood Condensation Realm, although they knew a little about them, they were beings that were unattainable and were legendary realms that only geniuses who entered the Domain City could possibly reach.

It's hard to imagine that such a level could be achieved with just a golden stone sculpture.

It should be understood that even if many geniuses are given training methods for the Blood Condensation Realm, very few of them will actually be able to advance to the Blood Condensation Realm. Not to mention the Golden Stone Sculpture, which is not even a training method, but can allow people to achieve something beyond the Blood Condensation Realm.

However, Vansen was no ordinary person; he was a super genius from the Domain City, whose strength rivaled that of a Blood Condensation Realm expert. Such a great figure had no reason to lie.

After all, for such a genius, the future goal is certainly not to stop at the Blood Condensation Realm.

“Brother Vansen is right,” City Lord Diroya said with a smile. “This golden stone sculpture is no ordinary golden stone sculpture. It is something unique to the Mist Mountain region and can only be used in our Mist Mountain region. It is also the greatest treasure of our entire Mist Mountain region.”

"Master Lin, you've only been the deputy city lord for a short time, so it's normal that you don't know either," Fan Sen said with a smile, looking at the bewildered Lin Qi. "Do you know why this area is called the Fog Mountain Area?"

"I'm not sure about that," Lin Qi shook his head.

After he came to this world, although he investigated a lot of information, all he knew was that after the great catastrophe, the entire planet underwent earth-shattering changes and was no longer a planet like before.

As for why they were divided into different regions, his research explained that the main reason was that each region had an area where monsters were unusually active. These active areas were used to divide the region into different areas so that people in the region could live relatively peacefully.

He wasn't quite sure why the Wushan area was called the Wushan area.

Vansen didn't keep anyone in suspense and explained directly: "After this region was formed, it actually had many names. It wasn't until a mountain range completely shrouded in mist was discovered that the outside world started calling it the Mist Mountain Region, and over time, we just started calling it that too."

"That misty mountain is also the greatest treasure of our misty mountain region, because within that misty mountain lies the prison of a civilization. That civilization is exceptionally powerful, even billions of times more powerful than all our races combined. According to our investigation, this civilization once gave birth to demigods, beings that transcend the laws of the world. In the hands of such beings, even stars are merely glass beads, which they can crush with a single hand."

"And the prisons they left in the Misty Mountains are unimaginable to us. Any prisoner they randomly imprisoned there is a Blood Condensation Realm or above."

"These prisoners have all died because of the passage of time, but the prison itself is still functioning. As long as you have the key, you can enter and explore, and find many good things from the prisoners. This golden stone sculpture is that key."

"So, this golden stone sculpture is indeed priceless." Lin Qi nodded, then asked curiously, "But how could Star Tower City be so willing to part with such a priceless golden stone sculpture?"

According to Vansen, the golden stone sculpture is the key, and the prisoners in the Blood Coagulation Realm and above in the prison are unimaginable treasures, perhaps even containing complete training methods for the Blood Coagulation Realm and above.

Not to mention that the prison itself was built by the civilization that gave birth to demigods, and it may contain things of even greater value than these prisoners.

It's hard to imagine that Star Tower City would be willing to hand over such a treasure. If they had kept it, how could they not have developed in the future?

"In terms of value, it is indeed very high." Di Luoya smiled, his expression very calm. "However, there is more than one of these golden stone sculptures in the Mist Mountain region. Almost every major city has one or two, and many others have several. Even many forces have them. Star Tower City alone has three. Every year when that prison is open for visits, major cities and many forces, and even forces from outside the region, will send people in to explore."

"Although this golden stone sculpture is the key, what you can get each time you visit the prison depends on your ability. After all, there are too many forces that want to get in, and the competition is extremely fierce. Countless people die tragically inside every year. Fortunately, martial artists above the Blood Condensation level cannot enter, which makes the competition less intense. Even cities like ours can send people to participate."

"This time, Master Lin, you guys beat Star Tower City so badly that if Star Tower City gives up one, it will only make that old guy Hu Lei feel a little heartache."

"I see." Lin Qi understood after hearing this.

While the golden stone sculpture could certainly enter the prison built by that civilization, there were too many forces that could enter the prison. The people sent by a single city were simply not enough. Even if there were any gains, they would be very limited. The truly valuable items were probably controlled by those powerful forces.

Since we couldn't get anything good by going in, we didn't feel too bad about giving one away.

"My first purpose in coming here is to get to know Master Lin, and my second purpose is to cooperate with Master Lin." Fan Sen looked at the enlightened Lin Qi and took the initiative to speak. "Now that Master Lin also has the key to the prison, I would like to join hands with Master Lin to explore the prison during the next visit. I believe we can gain more from the prison."

"Brother Fansen, as a super genius of Domain City, is there anyone who dares to compete with Domain City for him?" Lin Qi asked in surprise.

He was not so ignorant of Vansen.

After all, there have always been rumors in the City of Light that the city lord, Diroya, invited a super genius from the domain city. Although this super genius is only at the Bone Forging Realm, he is indeed comparable to a master at the Blood Condensation Realm.

The Mist Mountain Prison in the Mist Mountain region is undoubtedly the backyard of the Domain City. As a resident of the Domain City, Vansen should be able to enter the prison as if it were his own garden. With his strength comparable to the Blood Condensation Realm, he should be able to run rampant in the prison. It is hard to imagine that he would need to join forces with others.

“Master Lin may have some misunderstandings about that prison,” Vansen said with a wry smile. “Although the prison is indeed nominally controlled by the Domain City, more than one Domain City enters the prison each time, not to mention the major forces from the four Domains. Although I am personally powerful, I am not invincible. The two times I entered before, I could only wander around the upper and middle levels of the prison, and I couldn’t enter the lower level at all.”

"So this time I want to cooperate with Master Lin to explore together. With our combined strength, it's not impossible to enter the lower area of ​​the prison. And the lower area is a place that few forces can explore. In recent years, the upper and middle areas of the prison have been explored to a great extent. If we really want to gain anything, the only place is the lower area where the serious criminals are located."

The reason why Star Tower City brought out the golden stone sculpture this time can be said to be 80% because of him. Otherwise, City Lord Diroya would have asked Hulei for more remains of the Cataclysmic Monster.

The reason he recommended demanding the golden stone sculpture was because he valued the Obsidian Martial Arts School's disciples' ability to defeat Star Tower City and the Holy Blood Mercenary Group, proving that the Obsidian Martial Arts School was indeed quite capable in the Bone Forging Realm.

With such strength, although far inferior to those truly powerful forces, they are already worth cooperating with. "Brother Fansen, I wonder how many people this key can bring in? And when is the next prison visit?" After pondering for a moment, Lin Qi did not rush to answer, but asked instead.

He now fully understood why he was able to obtain the golden stone sculpture.

He had been wondering why the city lord, Diroya, was being so kind. Even if he really wanted to win him over, there was no need to offer something as valuable as a golden stone sculpture.

Now it seems that Diroya was trying to kill two birds with one stone.

One reason is to do him a favor, and the other is to do Vansen a favor.

Of course, it's probably mainly for Vansen's sake, otherwise he would never have had the opportunity to obtain the golden stone sculpture.

However, collaborating with Vansen is also a major problem.

As Vansen said, although the Fog Mountain Prison contains unimaginable opportunities, it was built by a civilization that gave birth to demigods. The power of those demigods was unimaginable; they could even play with stars like glass beads. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them gods.

However, there are too many forces entering the Fog Mountain Prison. It's not difficult for him and the players to get in and retrieve the treasures, but getting out will be a big problem.

Inside the prison, a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator cannot fight back, but once outside, Blood Condensation Realm experts from powerful forces can do whatever they want with him. If he has no power to resist, he is simply courting death.

"This key can bring in a maximum of one hundred people at a time. As for the next prison visitation time, it will be in a week," Vansen explained without giving it much thought.

"A week?" Lin Qi frowned slightly.

A week is neither a long nor a short time. Currently, the top experts of several major teams are all trying to break through to the Bone Forging Realm. It is indeed possible to succeed in a week, but the chances are not high. After all, the Bone Forging Realm is a big threshold. Many martial artists in the Organ Refining Realm are blocked outside. Even the genius martial artists who can break through have spent a lot of time.

Once a player reaches the Bone Forging Realm, their strength will undergo a qualitative change, and they will be confident in their ability to fight back even if a Blood Condensation Realm expert attacks.

However, if players cannot reach the Bone Forging Realm, exploring the Fog Mountain Prison will be a huge problem.

"Is there a problem with this timing?" Vansen looked at Lin Qi, who was frowning slightly, with great curiosity.

Anyone who gets the chance to explore the Fog Mountain Prison for the first time would want to do it as soon as possible, but judging from Lin Qi's expression, it seems like this is happening a little too quickly.

"No problem." Lin Qi gritted his teeth and agreed. "Then shall we meet in the City of Light?"

As Vansen said, the opportunity in Fog Mountain Prison is rare, only once a year. If you give up this time, you will have to wait another year, and who knows how far Obsidian Martial Arts School will develop after that.

With players already striving to reach the Bone Forging Realm, the key is to quickly acquire training methods to reach the Blood Coagulation Realm, or even higher.

As for the various forces and the possibility of retaliation afterward, he could simply hide in a branch in the Mountain of the Dead and develop slowly. When he had mastered his divine skills, he could deal with them one by one.

“Yes, I will go directly to the Obsidian Martial Arts School then.” Vansen nodded.

Afterwards, Vansen and City Lord Diroya chatted with Lin Qi for a while before happily leaving the temporary residence of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. This broadened the horizons of Yinuo and Wu Zhuoqun, who had been following them, and gave them a completely new understanding and appreciation of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

Back then, even though Lin Qi became the deputy city lord, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy was only somewhat famous within the City of Light. It couldn't compare to the city's top ten powerful clans at all; at best, it was just a nouveau riche.

But now, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has not only severely damaged Star Tower City and the Holy Blood Mercenary Group, but has also become the target of recruitment by the super geniuses of the Domain City, making the top ten powerful clans look up to it, which is simply unbelievable.

"Or should I follow Wu Zhuoqun's example, quit the garrison, and join the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?" Ino, following behind the city lord, pondered this question.

She had been a garrison commander in the City of Light for many years, but had never heard of the Fog Mountain Prison. She never imagined that such a miracle existed in the Fog Mountain region.

That's right! A true miracle!

As a prison built by a civilization that once gave birth to demigods, it is no exaggeration to call it a relic of the gods.

The reason she knew this astonishing information was entirely because the city lord believed that she had some connection with Lin Qi.

Among the disciples who have joined the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, there are no outstanding experts. If she joins now, she will definitely be highly valued by the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. She might even be able to go inside and take a look at that divine relic, as a half-step top-level Bone Forging Realm cultivator.

Meanwhile, Wu Zhuoqun had other ideas.

"If Junior Sister can't enter the Domain City this time, it would be a great way out to let her join the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. With her talent, she should be qualified to enter that prison in the future, and it wouldn't be impossible for her to reach the Blood Condensation Realm." After learning about the Fog Mountain Prison, Wu Zhuoqun thought of his junior sister Xiong Yuedie almost immediately.

The Fog Mountain Prison has existed for so many years, and according to the city lord, he has held the key for many years as well, but he has never allowed any members of the city's garrison to go there. Clearly, the city lord would not allow anyone other than his trusted confidants to go there for such a miracle, otherwise it would be impossible for no one in the city to know about it for so many years.

Such a miracle is so rare that, aside from entering the Domain City, the only other way to have a chance is to join the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy and become a core member of its upper echelons.

Currently, the human race's resources are significantly inferior to those of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. If Xiong Yuedie cannot enter the Domain City, then joining the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy would undoubtedly be the best choice.

Less than a day after City Lord Diroya and Vansen left, the city war ended with both sides announcing a complete ceasefire, and all the people of Maple Forest Town gradually returned.

As Lin Qi returned aboard the giant skyship, a system notification suddenly sounded in his ear.

System: Congratulations, host, the renovation of the Cultivation Tower is complete.
