I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 137 Imprisonment, Depression, and a Balance Between Work and Rest! [Major Revision!]

Kuangshan was originally steep and had many dangerous terrains such as scree slopes and karst caves. After the changes, uplift, and expansion, it has become more complex and dangerous.

Various kinds of grass and trees grow in abundance.

The ancient trees reaching for the sky are endless.

The primeval forest has a coverage rate of almost 100%, with a chaotic internal magnetic field and dense fog that perpetually blankets the area. The tall trees and dense canopies also block out the sunlight, making visibility extremely low, sometimes so low that you can't see your hand in front of your face, and it's very easy to get lost.

Furthermore, miasma abounds, and snakes and insects are everywhere, often leading to perilous situations.

The reason why the assassins can explore at ease is that the 'mental matrix' is centrally unifying them, making hundreds of people as one and thousands as one.

A person is easily lost or in danger in the mountains.

However, with a hundred or a thousand people looking out for each other, and helping each other broaden their horizons and find their place, the danger of Kuangshan Mountain is undoubtedly greatly reduced.

No one else will do.

Whether they were martial artists unwilling to cooperate with the underground society or those who had rashly descended from the upper realms and were scattered in various places, they all became lost within a day and had no idea which way was which.

Because I am in the middle of this mountain, I cannot see where the clouds are so deep!
Once they figure things out and establish themselves, it will take at least several months, and at most—

lifetime!
……

"With love in my life, what fear is there of wind and sand? Sadness turns white hair, unable to hold onto youth. I'd forsake a beautiful world for her smiling face! It's worth a lifetime of empty longing."

Time flows slowly like a stream.

Regardless of the changes in the world, Zuo Jing remained steadfast in Laoshan, explored Kuangshan, and took root in Guibei Peak, while never forgetting to focus on cultivation.

"Cultivation should always be the top priority!"

"Those below the twelfth level can strengthen their bodies and improve their health."

"Starting from the thirteenth level, one can prolong life."

"High martial arts skills—"

"It really can grant immortality!"

Zuo Jing learned many secrets about the upper realm from the prisoner Yao Xi, and knew that Yao Xi, Pang Sheng and others all came from the Vermilion Bird Continent, where martial arts flourished.

There is a sacred site.

There is an ancient kingdom.

There was an imperial dynasty.

There are prominent families.

A hundred boats race against each other.

The region is divided into nine provinces. Pang Sheng's origins are unknown, while Yao Xi comes from Fushan City in Tanzhou, one of the nine provinces. The city has celestial beings, war gods, Vajra, martial saints, and supreme beings, all of whom are at least thirteenth-level experts.

The city has city guards, silver dragons, black dragons, and golden scale guards, all of whom are elite and command the entire Fushan region. Although they cannot compare with those holy lands and ancient kingdoms, they are still considered local overlords.

According to Yao Xi, any city guard unit in Fushan City is composed entirely of sixth-rank soldiers, making them virtually invincible in the lower realms.

tyrannical!

powerful!

A single city guard could sweep through the Great Yan.

The city of Fushan alone is enough to dominate the present world.

I can't even imagine how powerful the Vermilion Bird Continent must be.

Zuo Jing felt a sense of crisis. He knew that Yao Xi and the others were just appetizers for the arrival of powerful beings from the upper realm. The more powerful beings arrived later, the more likely the immortal mountains would be occupied by those holy lands and ancient kingdoms.

All he could do—

"The only way is through cultivation!"

Zuo Jing randomly selected three assassins from among the 89 level 10 assassins. They didn't need to do anything; they just needed to focus on digging and eating when they had nothing to do. Once Zuo Jing finished his own training, he would possess the bodies of these three level 10 assassins to cultivate.

Martial arts training can be broadly divided into two parts—

First, there are techniques, including moves and techniques, as well as the more obscure application of force.

Secondly, physical strength is essential. It involves circulating qi and blood, mobilizing energy, and consuming precious meat to continuously nourish, stimulate, and replenish the body, thus gradually enhancing its strength.

These two complement each other and are indispensable.

Zuo Jing had already achieved the fourth-level strength enhancement in early August, which not only allowed him to integrate the strength of his entire body, but also enabled the integrated strength to remain in his body for a long time.

However, if he were to possess a high-ranking assassin, even one with superior physical abilities, Zuo Jing would still have to start from the very beginning because he had never practiced martial arts.

First-level strength training.

Second-order force.

Third-stage integrated strength.

Fourth-order strength enhancement.

From level one to level four, you still need to practice step by step. From becoming familiar with your body to mastering it.

From integrating strength to ensuring its enduring existence.

Sakyo has no shortage of 'skills'.

However, the assassin he possessed did not develop 'muscle memory', which required him to train hard. If his physical fitness was insufficient, there would be even more limitations, and he would need to improve his physical fitness to the corresponding level.

otherwise--

The physical strength of a low-level assassin is less than twice that of a normal assassin. If Zuo Jing were to forcefully use the second-level 'Power Connection' technique and throw a punch, channeling all his energy, his physical strength would not be sufficient to support such a connection. It would be too much of a strain, and thus injuries would be inevitable.

This is still relatively light.

If someone possesses a low-level assassin and forcibly uses the third-tier 'whole force' technique, the force will be overwhelming, and the damage to the body will be irreversible.

On the contrary, if the damage is caused by forcibly 'exerting force' and is relatively minor, timely rest and recuperation can actually accelerate the process of physical strengthening.

"Possessing a low-level assassin—"

"Training your strength is normal."

"With great effort, barely."

"The whole force is very forced, causes great damage, and is extremely slow to generate; it takes a long time to generate a whole force."

Yes.

Zuo Jing has long selected three level-ten assassins as his "avatars" for studying and practicing martial arts, so that they can progress in sync with him. In this way, he can take care of both "skills" and "physical condition" and avoid the situation where he possesses a low-level assassin and thus becomes too skilled but physically inadequate.

"Another advantage is that I can essentially train one main character and three secondary characters at the same time. When I reach the sixth, eighth, tenth or even higher level, these three assassins can also reach the sixth, eighth or tenth level simultaneously."

"Moreover, if you need to use them in critical moments, don't worry about it. Just use them and fight with confidence. Even if you die and are resurrected, everything will be reset, but you can just create a few new accounts."

Anyway, Zuo Jing's training techniques are there for all to see. Even if he trains to a lower level, as long as he has enough precious flesh to supplement his training, he can easily achieve a balance between 'body' and 'technique'.

Also.

The skills Zuo Jing practiced using his own body were different from those he trained using the bodies of assassins—

"I still practice the Five-Stage Fist myself."

"The assassins practice the 'Evening Drum Elixir Technique' from Fushan City."

This skill is quite advanced; it would be a shame not to practice it.

However, one must be wary of others and guard against Yao Xi's tricks within the manual. One should not rashly cultivate it, but using the body of a death warrior can perfectly avoid any traps.

"You can't fool me!"

……

Suicide squads are needed for training.

The exploration required the use of suicide squads.

Even a casualty can be used to relax.

Zuo Jing was imprisoned in Laoshan while simultaneously exploring Kuangshan.

Kuangshan, though called a sacred mountain, is actually extremely oppressive.

Zuo Jing II knew the importance of balancing work and rest. Although he was hardworking and serious, he did not constantly keep his nerves on edge.

He often possessed assassins, allowing him to appreciate the magnificent landscapes of the Great Yan Dynasty without leaving home or facing any risks. He even ventured beyond the Great Yan, flying like a pair of swallows across the land, traveling everywhere with great joy and endless happiness.

Sometimes, when the mood strikes, I climb to a high place and look out into the distance. Standing on the edge of a cliff, the view is vast and boundless, and I feel an urge to jump off the cliff.

We were just seriously hiking and enjoying the scenery, of course we wouldn't dare to actually jump.

But it's okay if you possess a dead body—

Jump if you want.

Jump down.

This is what it feels like to fly.

Sometimes, when possessing a dead soldier, if the soldier gets tired from climbing a mountain, he would have the soldier dig in the ground to rest. After the soldier rested, he would climb again. When the soldier was about to reach the summit, Zuo Jing would possess him again to enjoy the sense of accomplishment and joy of reaching the top.

Enjoying the fruits of others' labor brings boundless happiness.

Travel across the beautiful landscape and relax your tense mind.

at the same time.

According to Yao Xi, "Mount Lu is just the beginning. In the future, there may be more immortal mountains and immortal lands that will appear in the world, most of which will also come from these famous mountains and rivers in the world."

"My current visit is a way of getting familiar with the area beforehand."
