Infinite Terror: All members of the Zhongzhou team are wheelchair-level enhanced

Chapter 169 Chu Xuan Discovers the Conspiracy and Secrets of the Orthodox Cultivator Fuxi

Mount Fuji was bathed in various dazzling lights, a scene of battle between several early-stage fourth-tier powerhouses.

The aftershocks of the battle caused the mountain to shake violently, and Zheng Zha cleaved a thousand-meter-long crack in the mountain with a single axe stroke.

Magma inside the mountain seeped out from the cracks and flowed slowly in all directions, beginning to spread an aura of destruction.

Some of their fighting force will be transferred into the mountain, causing pressure to accumulate inside the mountain.

Inside, fiery red magma was bubbling, far more active than ever before.

When the pressure inside a mountain reaches a certain peak, it will suddenly erupt, creating a scene of a massive volcanic eruption.

For the entire island nation, that would be a catastrophic disaster.

……

Su Bai and Izanagi flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters to engage in battle.

The dark realm enveloped Su Bai, and from Su Bai's perspective, he could not see his own hand in front of his face.

Izanagi, who had multiplied into three, used his fearless strength and speed to try to get close to Su Bai.

However, each time it was about to get close, it was killed by Su Bai's flying sword that appeared in a flash.

The dark realm may obscure sight and hearing, but it cannot obscure Su Bai's telekinetic perception.

Su Bai spread his telekinetic power around him, so that Izanagi would be aware of his approach.

Izanagi is immortal and resurrected after dying multiple times, seemingly without paying any price, making him an unkillable and troublesome life form.

Below, the muscular man with the golden mask was defeated, and Zheng Zha won, which was learned by King Izanagi and Su Bai.

"Useless trash," Izanagi couldn't help but curse.

Su Bai is infusing his soul power into the flying sword, merging with it, and is making rapid progress.

From the moment he could perceive the existence of the soul, the power of the soul was no longer mysterious, and it was not much different from other types of power; they were all just a kind of power.

However, compared to other powers, its perception and use are more complex.

Looking at Izanagi's unpleasant expression, Su Bai's lips curled up slightly.

"What are you laughing at? You've only lost one side; in the end, you'll be the ones who get suppressed." Izanagi felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Do you think that just because I lost one side, you can free up one man and win like a snowball? You're being too naive."

"This is my home turf."

As Izanagi finished speaking, the army of 100,000 dark creatures who were squatting on the ground with their hands on the ground on the mountainside of Mount Fuji below stood up one by one from bottom to top.

Previously, they crouched down and placed their hands on the ground to activate the solar disk, injecting energy into it.

Even now that they are all standing up, the solar disk continues to absorb energy from the sun and beyond.

They are no longer needed to sustain it; the solar disk already contains enough energy to sustain itself.

These 100,000 dark creature soldiers were freed and were all able to participate in the battle.

"With 100,000 soldiers surrounding you, how many of your Central Continent Team members can survive?" Izanagi asked arrogantly.

Su Bai, however, remained calm.

At the summit of Mount Fuji, Chu Xuan reached out towards the golden disc suspended in mid-air. Blue-white energy emanated from his fingertips, within which were countless tiny hands.

The blue-white energy touched the golden disc and enveloped it.

Not long after, the golden beam of light that had shot from the sky onto the golden disc suddenly disappeared.

Chu Xuan turned off the operating solar disk.

The golden pillar of light on the Dragon Emperor, who was originally suppressed by energy and located below the sun disk, also disappeared.

Without the pressure, the Dragon Emperor was freed.

"Where is my army? Come quickly and kill all life on this island!" The Dragon Emperor shouted immediately after escaping, filled with rage.

The next moment, an army of 50,000 terracotta warriors swooped down from the sky on clouds.

This is the Dragon Emperor's weapon, loyal to the Dragon Emperor.

Fifty thousand terracotta warriors landed halfway up Mount Fuji and fought against an army of one hundred thousand dark creatures.

In an instant, shouts of battle filled the air.

"I have come swiftly to punish the traitors! Those who have betrayed me will have their entire family executed!" the Dragon Emperor roared, his voice echoing throughout the entire island nation.

Ten thousand meters in the air, Su Bai looked at the three Izanagi with a smile.

The meaning is self-evident.

Izanagi's face stung. "Don't be so arrogant. The outcome is still uncertain until the very end!"

Controlling its three perfectly coordinated bodies, it charged toward Su Bai once more.

Su Bai never stopped infusing his soul power into the sword.

This soul power, stripped of its protective layer, merges into the Demon Sword's essence, causing the person struck by the Demon Sword's essence to suffer extremely bad luck.

Outwardly, the person being attacked may not have been seriously injured, but due to being rejected by the world and having exceptionally bad luck, a chain reaction can trigger serious consequences, turning the injury into a severe one.

For example, cutting a small gash in the leg might not seem like a big deal, but if it happens to sever a major artery, it can be fatal.

Of course, for life forms at their level, major arteries are no longer considered vital.

You can replace the major artery with another vital organ; the effect will be the same.

Su Bai felt that this could be called a 'critical strike', and it was his own 'critical strike sword intent'.

He is completing this process, and Izanagi is his whetstone.

When he succeeds, it will be the time of Izanagi's death.

……

At the summit of Mount Fuji, Chu Xuan stood calmly, meeting the gaze of the Dragon Emperor.

This man had an ordinary appearance, a neat buzz cut, and an expression that was always calm and expressionless.

Only his eyes, clear and bright, shone with the light of wisdom.

Beside her, Ziyuan, who was lying on the ground, stopped wailing. She crawled toward Chu Xuan, took out a dagger from her waist, and handed it to him. "This is the Dragon Slayer Dagger. Only it can kill the Dragon Emperor."

Chu Xuan took the dagger, and just as he held it in his hand, the cold and solemn voice of the Supreme God rang out.

[Obtain the story item - Dragon Slayer Dagger. The dagger's power depends on the amount of energy the user infuses. The user must possess internal energy, vampire energy, magic power, telekinesis, cultivation power, immortal spiritual power, etc., to use it.]

The Dragon Emperor's pupils contracted as he looked at Zi Yuan, his eyes containing extreme complexity and coldness.

This is the woman he loves, but she has never seemed to be on his side.

After handing over the dagger, Ziyuan quickly crawled to the side and lay down on the ground as if she had completed her mission, leaving the rest to Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan put the dagger into the spatial pouch in front of his stomach, seemingly having no intention of using it, and looked at the Dragon Emperor again.

The Dragon Emperor's body was filled with power that did not belong to him, just like a person who always carried a mountain on his back, which greatly limited his strength.

But he is still a strong man.

"Although you released me, I know you have ill intentions."

"You are a traitor, and you shall suffer my utmost punishment!"

The Dragon Emperor, dressed in a black dragon robe, rapidly formed hand seals, releasing his inner energy.

The true energy transformed into the visible power of the five elements, dazzling and colorful, and then quickly returned to his body.

This power of the five elements supported his body, transforming him into a two-meter-tall giant ape in the blink of an eye.

Roar!
With a roar, the Dragon Emperor used all four of its limbs to pounce on Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan raised his hand and patted his chest. Black nano liquid, centered on his chest, wriggled and crawled all over Chu Xuan's body, including his head, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped Chu Xuan completely, transforming him into a suit of steel armor.

It was the Black God Armor.

Four openings appeared on the back of the armor, from which four propellers, resembling electric fans, extended, their high-speed rotation propelling Chu Xuan into the air.

Just as he took flight, the giant ape that the Dragon Emperor had transformed into pounced on Chu Xuan's previous position, narrowly avoiding the attack.

When its first attack failed, the giant ape raised its head and bared its teeth. It bent its legs and leaped up, hundreds of meters high, trying to grab Chu Xuan who was flying.

The artificial intelligence inside the Black God Armor analyzed the best dodging maneuvers, which Chu Xuan followed, narrowly avoiding the giant ape and ascending to a height of a thousand meters.

As the giant ape fell, it once again formed hand seals, emanating the power of the five elements from its body. It then withdrew the energy, transforming in the blink of an eye into a three-headed western black dragon.

With flapping its wings, the Dragon Emperor pursued Chu Xuan.

During this time, Chu Xuan's eyes shone with wisdom as he gazed at the Dragon Emperor.

“Runes…” Chu Xuan murmured softly.

In Chu Xuan's view, the process of the Dragon Emperor releasing magic through hand seals would produce a three-dimensional image composed of runes, images, and text.

It is not a simple combination of lines, but a complex three-dimensional spatial structure.

He could observe the entire process of the Dragon Emperor casting his spells.

However, since it wasn't him who performed the act, analyzing the process was somewhat difficult.

"I should start the Foundation Establishment process, the Foundation Establishment of a true cultivator," Chu Xuan thought.

He was considering his core runes.

The foundation building process for orthodox cultivators mainly involves opening the sea of ​​consciousness in their minds and generating core runes within it.

Chu Xuan exchanged many cultivation common sense knowledge from orthodox cultivators in the Main God Space, as well as his ability to analyze runes as an arcanist.

In addition, he spent more than a month in contact with the Dragon Emperor, watching the Dragon Emperor and Zi Yuan perform magic, and also had many opportunities to study the 'Unorthodox Cultivation Iron Scroll'.

He discovered a fact.

"Orthodox cultivators may look different, but in reality, they are all the same, using the same set of core runes."

"The orthodox cultivators are a huge pitfall and a conspiracy."

Chu Xuan confirmed the existence of the 'Eight Trigrams Rune' calculation method.

Whether it's the Dragon Emperor or Ziyuan, their outward appearances may differ, but they are essentially cultivating based on the Bagua runes.

The core of a true cultivator lies in their own core runes.

There are mantras that clearly explain the essence of orthodox cultivators.

[Authentic cultivation of immortality, analyzing all things, understanding their true nature.]

[Condensing runes, manifesting the origin, cultivating the truth.]

Generally speaking, orthodox cultivators have four development paths.

The first type is the Rune Scholar: After reaching the Foundation stage, they analyze the eight core runes and possess a certain number of derivative runes and tier 3 runes.

These runes, when combined and coordinated with massive computing power, can be analyzed in advance to allow for targeted spellcasting.

These orthodox cultivators become stronger and more well-rounded as they progress.

Of course, the analytical, computational, and logical abilities required are also extremely demanding. Later on, when facing opponents of higher or even stronger fourth tiers, it is necessary to analyze, reconstruct, and build spell models to cope with the ever-changing battle situation.

The entire process would take at least several times the speed of light.

The most famous representative and the starting point of orthodox cultivators, the "Human Emperor Fuxi", created the "Four Symbols, Five Elements, and Eight Trigrams Formation", which is said to be able to analyze everything and is the strongest of the ten great formations.

The second type is the core rune usage type: they do not use derived runes or secondary runes because they can observe the origin of the universe. They directly use core runes to simulate the origin of the universe.

These people are either born with extraordinary talent, able to see the origin of the universe with their naked eyes, or born with innate spiritual treasures, such as the 'Three Pure Ones', or they are saints who have turned to orthodox cultivation and borrow the power of saints.

The third type is the creation specialist: using rune technology to create complex rune technology creations. Many powerful acquired spiritual treasures, magical artifacts, and magic weapons are made by them.

The fourth type is the formation type: They are the most talented, specializing in the eight core runes and researching the ten major formations, and want to create their own eleventh or twelfth formations that are comparable to the ten major formations.

Their strength is absolutely formidable.

The path Chu Xuan took was either the first or the fourth.

"Regardless of which type, their core is the Bagua runes."

"All achievements are made on the basis of the Bagua runes."

"The eight trigrams are Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen, and Dui."

"They describe all the information about time, space, matter, energy, and everything else in the universe."

"Orthodox cultivators do not need to study the origin of the universe, nor can they observe the universe."

"They only need to study the Bagua symbols that have already been developed to analyze the universe."

“Non-orthodox cultivators are even worse. The paths they take are routes planned by orthodox cultivators, and they are worthless in front of orthodox cultivators.”

Chu Xuan understood the essence: the Eight Trigrams runes are a set of eight core runes that describe all information in the multiverse.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to observe the origin of the universe. Because it is impossible, there is no need to talk about analysis or reconstruction.

The Bagua symbols simplify this, making everything simple.

People don't need to study the origin of the universe; they only need to study the Bagua symbols and understand the universe based on them.

The difficulty has decreased by more than a billion times.

This is the essence of a true cultivator.

The Bagua runes are like software that simplifies all information in the multiverse.

Orthodox cultivators use this software to develop their own unique creations.

This raises a problem.

The fact that the developers control the most basic Bagua runes means that the lifeline of all orthodox cultivators is in their hands.

Once the functions and rules of the Bagua runes are shut down, all research findings of orthodox cultivators will be erroneous.

Furthermore, all the creations and developments of orthodox cultivators can ultimately be integrated with the Bagua runes.

In other words, all orthodox cultivators are not only subject to the developers, but all their achievements and research results will also benefit the developers.

This is a conspiracy and a huge pitfall within the orthodox cultivation world.

"The Bagua runes simplified the analysis of the universe, which is a major reason why orthodox cultivators developed them."

"Right now, if I use the Bagua runes, I can easily succeed in establishing my foundation."

“But I don’t want to be controlled by others,” Chu Xuan murmured.

Regardless of whether the developers of the orthodox cultivation path have good intentions or ill intentions, the orthodox cultivation path will ultimately benefit the developers, becoming a path of dependence on others and being at their mercy.

Chu Xuan didn't want it to be like this.

Chu Xuan discovered the 'Eight Trigrams Calculation Method' on his own. He deduced that if he were born before 'Fuxi,' the developer of orthodox cultivation methods...

Then he would be the orthodox cultivator who created the Bagua calculation method.

The only difference between him and Fuxi is the time of his birth.

He is no weaker than Fuxi.

"I cannot use the Bagua runes; I need to use my own runes that can describe the universe."

"I possess the rune analysis method, and my intelligence and calculation ability are sufficient. I can create a calculation method on the same level as the Bagua calculation method."

"That is..."

Chu Xuan now knew exactly which core rune to use for foundation building.

That is the 'Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Calculation Method' that he developed by studying a vast amount of runes, referencing the knowledge of many orthodox cultivators, and planning and reasoning based on the principles of Bagua runes.

To put it simply, the Bagua runes are a set of eight runes that describe everything in the multiverse.

The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches symbols can also describe everything in the multiverse!
Compared to the Bagua runes, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches runes are a rune system created by Chu Xuan himself, and currently only he uses them.

In terms of comprehensiveness, it is not as comprehensive as the Bagua runes, after all, countless orthodox cultivators have contributed to the Bagua runes.

However, given time, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches symbols may not be able to surpass the Eight Trigrams symbols.

"The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Rune Calculation Method: There are ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches, totaling twenty-two core runes."

"Twenty-two runes seem like more than eight runes, but they are described in more detail, making it easier for later researchers to build upon them."

"However, I developed the 'Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Rune Calculation Method' not simply to follow the orthodox path of cultivators, but to take a new route of combining with the gods."

"I will ignite the divine fire and become a god."

"This is a new route that combines the advantages of the 'path to godhood' and the 'orthodox cultivator' route."

"I believe that this cultivation path will eventually surpass the path to godhood and the orthodox cultivation path, and it is easier to grow and level up, far exceeding other systems."

"In the future, the path I walk will be one of the preferred paths of spiritual practice for those who follow."

Chu Xuan has begun his foundation building process.

For him, foundation building was too simple; the only difference was when to build the foundation and which runes to use.

Whenever he wanted, he could summon the arcane energy within his body to surge into his sea of ​​consciousness and generate core runes within it.

Now, he started the process and succeeded easily.

Twenty-two core runes were generated in Chu Xuan's brain; this was his own rune calculation method.

For others to use his rune calculation method, at the current stage, Chu Xuan needs to build a 'rune tower' containing his Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches runes. Only when others are under the protection of the rune tower can they use the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches runes.

This process is equivalent to connecting to the internet.

Only by connecting to Chu Xuan's local area network can one use Chu Xuan's rune calculation method.

However, if anyone in the multiverse wants to use it without restraint, reaching the current level and height of 'Bagua runes', then...

This would require Chu Xuan to inscribe his rune calculation method on the Great Dao of the multiverse, just like Fuxi did.

This is equivalent to opening up a multiverse network.

The entire multiverse is Fuxi's local area network, which is why everyone can use the Bagua runes.

If Chu Xuan can achieve this, then the entire multiverse will be able to freely use his rune calculation method in the future.

……

"Hiding and dodging, do you think you can be my opponent with your steel creations alone?" A thousand meters in the sky, the three-headed black dragon looked at Chu Xuan and spoke.

"Die under my blazing fire!"

The three-headed black dragon suddenly transformed back into human form, but still retained two dragon wings on its back, allowing it to hover in mid-air.

He made a hand seal with both hands while chanting a mantra.

"The east wind blows, and smoke rises from the trees; the south wind turns, and flames reach the sky."

"Qian and Dui transform into metal, melting all things; Kan water hangs in the north, protecting the true essence."

"The mountain of Gen is the cauldron and the earth is the pot; thunder roars and fire breaks through the clouds."

"The True Lord appears before the Imperial Edict, and all the fiery spirits of ten thousand miles heed my decree."

"Fire... Appears!"

Suddenly, a vast red flame appeared before the Dragon Emperor, but it went out the next moment.

In Chu Xuan's eyes, the Dragon Emperor's casting of the 'spell' was too slow, and Chu Xuan had already released the arcane energy within him, enveloping his surroundings.

This formed an incomplete 'domain' centered on him.

For the Dragon Emperor to build spell models and combine runes in his domain was tantamount to showing off his limited skills before an expert.

Chu Xuan altered the rune structure, causing the spell model built by the Dragon Emperor to malfunction, preventing the Dragon Emperor from casting spells at all, which was equivalent to banning magic.

Against orthodox cultivators, a non-orthodox cultivator like the Dragon Emperor, who relies on magic, is no match at all.

"How could this be? Where is my Fire?" The Dragon Emperor was shocked. He made a new hand seal and silently recited the incantation, trying to ignite the fire, but he could only release sparks and could not create a flame.

He also sensed that his dragon wings were being invaded, as if they would disappear at any moment.

"How could this be!" The Dragon Emperor was shocked.

Chu Xuan modified the Dragon Emperor's spell model, causing it to malfunction. This was equivalent to breaking the Dragon Emperor's computer. The Dragon Emperor, who had no understanding of the internal structure of a computer, could only keep trying to turn it on.

But this doesn't solve the problem at all.

Before long, Chu Xuan's 'domain' invaded the Dragon Emperor's body and modified his Five Elements Transformation spell model.

This caused the dragon wings on the Dragon Emperor's back to appear and disappear, and he quickly descended towards the top of Mount Fuji, crashing to the ground in a very disheveled state.

Because the spell failed, he broke his leg. He sat up in a cold sweat, pressing his leg.

Chu Xuan followed closely behind and landed in front of the Dragon Emperor.

"You...you." The Dragon Emperor stared at Chu Xuan, whose face remained calm, as if he were looking at a terrifying demon. He revealed a look of unwillingness and dejection and said, "I...have lost."

Chu Xuan's arcane energy was only at the D-level, which couldn't be sustained for very long.

Without his 'domain' suppression, the Dragon Emperor will regain his magic, and Chu Xuan needs to eliminate the Dragon Emperor before that happens.

He reached into his stomach, into what looked like Doraemon's pocket, and pulled out a white Gauss pistol.

Chu Xuan raised his gun and pointed it at the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor saw Ziyuan lying on the side watching the show and tried to use the 'Substitute Death Technique', but failed again.

Unorthodox cultivators who rely on magic are like lambs in front of orthodox cultivators, let alone when that orthodox cultivator is Chu Xuan.

The Dragon Emperor offered no further resistance, revealing a bitter smile as he accepted his fate.

Chu Xuan remained calm as he pulled the trigger.

boom.

After a gunshot, the Dragon Emperor's head, which had no magical enhancements, was destroyed, and his body fell backward, dead.

[Kill the Dragon Emperor to obtain one B-rank side quest and 6000 reward points.]
