My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 540 Success in Silent Meditation

Ape Wu World, Wukong Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the Dinosaur Emperor was trying to sit cross-legged; he had already begun practicing Qigong!

Lu Mingxin, Zhang Zhi, Fei Ying, the two-headed demon lizard player, and Pig Xiaoshuai all have their own training grounds in Wukong Mountain. They are all training diligently, and even Pig Xiaoshuai is now meticulous.

When Zhou Nan arrived at Wukong Mountain, he walked on his sword. Although he was not equipped with a combat power detector, he could still roughly sense the qi cultivation levels of everyone.

In his perception, among his fellow disciples, the two-headed demon lizard player [Demon] had the strongest "qi," followed by Zhang Zhi, and then Lu Mingxin.

Zhang Daqian, the Dinosaur Emperor, who had only practiced Qigong for a maximum of twenty days, actually had a Qi level that was not much worse than Lu Mingxin's, ranking him fourth, even stronger than Fei Ying and Pig Xiaoshuai.

"Zhang Daqian, the Dinosaur Emperor, truly possesses extraordinary talent and is destined for greatness!"

Zhou Nan smiled and, without disturbing the others, went straight to the mountaintop.

To Zhou Nan's surprise, Wu Tian was sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop. His severed arm had been restored, and he looked much younger. However, his "qi" had become more restrained, and Zhou Nan could only sense it when he got closer.

"It seems that Master Wu Tian also had some good fortune. It must have been the time traveler from the Dragon Slaying Empire who helped him. I wonder how his Qi cultivation is now, and whether he has made up for the three thousand years of lost power..."

Zhou Nan had a guess in mind. He approached Wu Tian and bowed.

Wu Tian kept his eyes closed, not opening them, but simply nodded slightly and said, "Lan Caihe, Lan Yuping, and the Holy Child are in the back mountain. Go ahead!"

Zhou Nan bowed again before heading to the back mountain.

Wu Tian suddenly added, "Your path is different from mine; no one can guide you. Persevere and do not slacken. I believe you can open up a whole new world for yourself!"

Zhou Nan's heart stirred upon hearing this.

Has Master Roshi changed?

Didn't he say he abandoned all other methods and only revered Qigong? Why doesn't he persuade himself to only practice Qigong?

Was it the powerful card I gave him that changed his mind?

A smile appeared on Zhou Nan's face. He casually bowed to Wu Tian again and then headed towards the back mountain.

On the back mountain, Lan Yuping and Lan Caidie sat facing each other, seemingly practicing qigong, though their qi was still very weak.

Among them, the Holy Child, the reincarnation of the Holy Ancestor, was playing in the mud. If an uninformed person saw him, they would probably think he was just an ordinary child.

But in Zhou Nan's eyes, the little guy was practically glowing, so bright it hurt his eyes.

It is a special kind of nuclear radiation, which martial artists who cultivate the Light Radiation Technique can clearly sense.

"Unfathomable, the future is promising..."

Zhou Nan sighed silently, then stepped forward and bowed to Lan Caihe and Lan Cuihua.

Lan Caihe didn't react at all, but Lan Yuping inexplicably laughed, leaving Zhou Nan completely baffled.

Zhou Nan came here just to say hello to acquaintances, and then he picked up the child and played with him for a while.

The child seemed to have forgotten Zhou Nan, but instinctively felt close to him and liked being held by him.

A moment later, Zhou Nan left Wukong Mountain to collect the Yuan Qi Pearls.

Not long after Zhou Nan left, Lan Caihe, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly opened her eyes. She looked in the direction where Zhou Nan had disappeared and said, "His data is a bit strange..."

"Strange?" Lan Yuping asked. "What's strange about it?"

"The amount of computation used on him is more than ten times more than before, and it seems to be increasing."

"What about the growth potential evaluation score?"

"Nothing has changed, it's still the same as before."

"That doesn't matter. He probably prefers daydreaming... How's the Holy Sword mission going?"

"The simulation calculations are still underway, and only a preliminary setup has been formed. The Holy Sword quest will likely be released to players ranked 30th in terms of growth potential in about three years... We don't know who will ultimately wield the Holy Sword, so we'll leave it to fate!"

"Only issuing it to the top 30 players? That's too narrow a selection range. Players like the Human Black Card Emperor won't even have a chance to receive the quest?"

"How can someone with such low potential be worthy of possessing the Holy Sword?" Lan Caihe said. "If it weren't for the Great Emperor of the Universe, I wouldn't have risked handing over the Holy Sword, since it concerns the entire Fantasy World."

Lan Yuping also sighed and said, "Let's hope nothing unexpected happens..."

After she finished speaking, she pulled out a booklet from her bosom. It was the second volume of "The Great Emperor of the Universe," written by Lan Cuihua.

"Don't let it turn out like Cuihua's random scribbles..."

Lan Yuping casually flipped through the booklet.

In the second chapter of Unicron, the Holy Sword is also mentioned, and its ownership is revealed. According to the plot of the comic book, the Holy Sword will eventually fall into the hands of a human player named "Sun God".

The "Sun God" is a newly introduced protagonist, portrayed as a mysterious human with an enigmatic background, and is very likely to become the main protagonist.

It's clear that Blue Jade Flower still favors humans.

In addition, there is a comedic character in this comic named "Black Emperor," who is drawn in a very interesting way.

The second episode of "Unicron" mainly tells the story of Saint Azu's resurrection and Black Emperor raising a child. Saint Azu's prototype is of course the Holy Child who was reincarnated from Saint Ancestor, while Black Emperor's prototype is obviously the human Black Card Emperor.

It was because of this character that Lan Yuping wanted to laugh whenever she saw Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan had no idea that the character based on him was shining brightly in Lan Cuihua's comics. He focused on jungling and reaped quite a good harvest.

A day later, Zhou Nan returned to the parliament airship training room.

"Once I've trained another Overlord True Monarch who specializes in farming in the Light Radiance World, I won't need to waste time like this."

Zhou Nan placed 73 Yuan Qi beads in front of him.

These 73 Yuan Qi Beads are what Zhou Nan will need for his seclusion over the next twelve years. It's not a large number, but Zhou Nan has plans for the next twelve years and won't spend too much time cultivating the Hao Yang Gong.

Soon, Zhou Nan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged again, beginning his secluded cultivation.

Time passed, day after day, year after year...

Twelve years is a long time, and sometimes it made Zhou Nan feel like he was going crazy, but once he got through it, Zhou Lai felt that twelve years was just a blink of an eye.

His seclusion has ended.

He lived a very fulfilling twelve years!

I have mastered the art of silent meditation after twenty-three years!

The "True Scripture of Kings and Hegemons" did not lie; Zhou Nan's aura of kingship and hegemony has increased.

Just as he had predicted, once the Zen method was mastered, it was like a spiritual transformation. Now, Zhou Nan's domineering aura has reached a maximum of one handful, and his daily recovery amount has also increased to one handful.

Therefore, from then on, he was able to refine his spirit with a handful of domineering energy every day, and one day was equivalent to the thirty days before he mastered the silent meditation.

While such domineering aura isn't enough to form a superpower to intimidate others, Zhou Nan is still far beyond ordinary people. If he were to face ordinary humans, it would be quite easy for him to exert some mental pressure.

As a result, Zhou Nanwu's barrier to the Emperor's Skill was loosened, and he attempted to break through. He succeeded on his first attempt and is now a Light Radiance Warrior in the early stage of the True Qi Realm.

As one's cultivation level increases, their combat power also increases dramatically.

When Zhou Nan was in the True Qi Realm, he cultivated nuclear energy true qi, which could be released from his body. When he entered the True Qi Realm, he was able to cultivate nuclear energy true qi.

Nuclear energy true qi is more condensed and pure than nuclear energy true qi; it can not only be projected out of the body but also be shaped.

Zhou Nan's nuclear energy manifested as a reddish-gold color. He could now transform his nuclear energy into various shapes and manifest them outside his body, such as birds and beasts, swords and spears, and so on, giving him a sense of complete freedom.

The twelve years of seclusion also gave Zhou Nan a mental image of the Kingly Tyrant True Lord, forged from 4500 spoonfuls of Kingly Tyrant Qi.

"Thirty spoonfuls of Kingly Aura make one 'pong' (濤), and let's say 150 spoonfuls of Kingly Aura make one 'dou' (斗). So, if I were to visualize this Kingly True Lord in my mind as a card, its name would be [Kingly True Lord - Zhou Yidou]!"

Zhou Nan spoke up!

This was the first sentence he had spoken in twenty-three years.

Of course, these twenty-three years are his own experience. In reality, only half a year has passed since he last left Wukong Mountain outside the cultivation room.

Zhou Nan wasn't in a hurry to leave the cultivation room. With a thought, he created [True Monarch Wang Ba - Zhou Yidou].

Zhou Nan released Zhou Dou, whose foundation was much deeper than that of Zhou Ba Zhenjun Si Baishao and Mao Ku Jianshen Zhou Bai. Zhou Dou was extremely intelligent and could speak, making him comparable to a real person.

"Excellent, excellent! I will entrust you with an important task!"

After Zhou Nan finished speaking, he used the method of creating cards from imagination to create the following techniques in sequence: [Technique - Shockwave], [Technique - Somersault Cloud], [Technique - Instant Teleport], [Palm Technique - Subduing Heaven and Earth], [Palm Technique - Nine Scales Creation], and [Palm Technique - Annihilation Divine Halberd]!

After twelve years of seclusion, Zhou Nan had already mastered the first three forms of the [Nine Subduing Dragon Palms]. These three palm techniques all rely on brute force to overcome skill. Among them, [Subduing Heaven and Yellow] is a method of suppression, where a large handprint descends from the sky. [Nine Scales Creation] is more flexible and versatile, with nine golden dragon scales dancing in the air, which can be used for both offense and defense. [Destroying Divine Halberd] is the most powerful and has the longest attack range, where a golden halberd directly pierces through the opponent.

"With the foundation of True Monarch Zhou Yidou, he could have mastered all these techniques, but unfortunately..."

Zhou Nan shook his head. He had made the cultivation technique cards, but he couldn't use them to synthesize [True Monarch Wang Ba - Zhou Yidou] because he only had seven Divine Demon Coins, which wasn't enough!

After putting away the material cards in front of him, Zhou Nan walked out of the cultivation room. Looking at the scenery outside, he felt that the sky was high and the sea was wide, and he felt exceptionally comfortable.

"Six months have passed outside. I wonder if Wu Baishao has collected all the star beads yet. Let's go find him!"

With this in mind, Zhou Nan quickly left the council airship. In the chaotic void, he pressed his right index and middle fingers to his brow, a method of sensing "qi" in qigong.

After twelve years of seclusion, Zhou Nan's Qigong cultivation has not improved much. His current Qigong combat power is only around 30,000. His teleportation ability is not much stronger than before, and his ability to sense "Qi" has also improved only slightly.

Therefore, after sensing for a while, Zhou Nan did not sense the aura of Wang Ba Zhenjun Wu Baishao, but he vaguely felt that Wang Ba Zhenjun Wu Baishao was in Kangtian City.

It's an intuition, a special kind of telepathy that can't be explained.

Zhou Nan rode the Divine Sword Jiangya Die Lang and arrived at Kangtian City in less than a minute.

As expected, the Five Hundred Spoons of True Lord Wang Ba were right here. He had been sailing the Blazing Pirate Ship for six months, and it was still intact. When Zhou Nan boarded the ship to check, he discovered that there were no fewer than twenty Starry Sky Beasts imprisoned in the ship's cabins and cells!

"Wow, that's impressive! They caught so many cosmic beasts!" Zhou Nan exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Ba Zhenjun stammered, "Many of them were captured in Chaos City. Chaos City has suffered multiple invasions by celestial beasts, all of which were repelled by the Twelve Zodiac Guardian Gods..."

Actually, even without Wang Ba Zhenjun Wu Baishao's introduction, the moment Zhou Nan saw him, he had many premonitions in his mind, and he basically knew about Wang Ba Zhenjun Wu Baishao's experiences over the past six months.

Wang Ba Zhenjun did not fail in his mission, having collected all seven star beads a month ago.

In addition, he has accumulated 56 experience scrolls, 56 exclusive city-building tokens, and 56 void crystals.

"That's really good..."

Zhou Nan exclaimed in amazement as he used up all 56 experience scrolls and just broke through to level 65!

"With all seven star beads collected, I can unlock the exclusive dungeon. As Lan Caihe said, I can obtain a large amount of Divine Demon Coins through this exclusive dungeon..."

Zhou Nan thought about it and decided he wasn't in a hurry to farm the exclusive dungeon.

He felt it had been a long time since he had returned to the family camp, and planned to go back first to see familiar faces and old friends.

Soon, Zhou Nan returned to the family camp.

Looking around, he noticed that the changes were quite significant. The camp square had increased by more than a third. Over by the Card Goddess statue, there was now a small area of ​​statues. In addition to the Deep Sea Demon God statue, Demon Lizard Princess statue, and Desolate Lord statue that Zhou Nan had previously built, there were four more statues: the statue of Emperor Pig, the statue of the Heavenly Dog Demon God, the statue of the Silly Crocodile God, and the statue of the Gray Fly Emperor.

It is obvious that the four extra statues were built by Red Boy.

Zhou Nan was no longer able to access the True Black Clan's information panel. He strolled forward, exploring at will, and was soon followed by the True Black Kun, which had grown to level 12.

Before long, Zhou Nan saw the level 15 Zhen Heiba, as well as resource cow Jasmine, forest ranger Haodewan, the white angel he forcibly captured to be a mascot, and so on.

Upon arriving at the Black Card Palace, Zhou Nan glanced at the imperial edict and discovered that the Blue Mage Xiu En had become a fifth-rank official, with his health and mana points increased to 600 million and his daily salary increased to 16 gold coins.

In addition, Zhou Nan also discovered four money trees in front of the palace.

The Money Tree is a summoning item from the Black Card, which was obviously created by Red Boy.

The four trees in front of the palace are not as good as the [Money Tree - Everlasting Pine] that Zhou Nan synthesized before, but they can obviously still provide a decent income of bound gold coins.

"Red Boy's Black Card Emperor skill seems to be working pretty well..."

As Zhou Nan was pondering this, he turned his head and saw the imperial guards and Red Boy coming to greet him.
