Chapter 549 The True Greatsword God General

Since the establishment of the Ka Temple, Zhou Nan has been guarding it, checking his Book of Life and Death from time to time.

At first I was worried, but later I just focused on academic research.

He didn't understand why burning incense and paper money could increase one's lifespan in the afterlife, but he had a very good grasp of the method.

Time flies, and a month has passed.

Zhou Nan was also cultivating in the Card Temple. In the past month, he had acquired a new skill: using the method of creating cards from imagination to generate paper money cards, incense and candle cards, gold ingot cards, and so on.

Therefore, nowadays, there is no need for Li Dapu to specially purchase incense and paper money from the trading house in the temple. Stacks of paper money cards, incense and candle cards are neatly arranged on the offering table. Players who come to offer incense and worship can just pick one out and use it, and they will have incense and paper money. It is very convenient.

During this month, Zhou Nan's lifespan in the underworld increased by five and a half years.

"It's a pity there's only one Book of Life and Death, and only one useful memorial tablet. If there were no limit, I could build a card temple in every major city, and I could easily get the 'Long Live the Emperor' title!"

Zhou Nan muttered to himself. He didn't understand what level "Great Ghost" was, but he could foresee that if his lifespan continued to increase, his earth soul would eventually become a Great Ghost.

"Now that my lifespan has exceeded sixty years, I can finally relax and begin cultivating the 'Withered Heart Zen' technique. But before that, I need to think about how to use this treasure..."

According to the Dragon Horn Venerable of Illusion God Island, this greatsword is a divine weapon, containing the martial spirit imprint of a Great Completion Martial King.

Zhou Nan didn't understand what a Great Martial King was, nor did he know what a Martial Soul Imprint was, but he knew that this sword was extraordinary. If he could see even a little bit of its secrets, he could probably gain a great deal.

He held the large knife and studied it for two whole days, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, the cultivation systems are different, making it difficult to fathom its mysteries. As for this divine weapon... I'll just use my own method, utilizing the core computing power to analyze it and use it to enhance my cards!"

Once Zhou Nan made his decision, he no longer hesitated. He first consumed a King Overlord True Monarch with the foundation of one battle to create a card, then used his palm technique to infinitely synthesize it with the card, and finally used the Crimson Flame Gilded Greatsword to strengthen it.

During this process, Zhou Nan felt that the Crimson Flame Gilded Greatsword was very similar to the Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger Greatsword, so he sculpted the appearance of the King Overlord True Lord to be exactly the same as the Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger Greatsword. The final card was a black nine-star card, named: [True Greatsword God General - Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger].

Explanation 1: Use the card to unleash the True Greatsword God General - Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger to fight for you.

Its class is set as a Sealer.

The reason Zhou Nan named the card "True Greatsword God General" was because his obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in, and he wanted to compare it to "Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal".

"I have two Heavenly Kings Covering the Earth Tigers now..."

Zhou Nan's heart stirred, and he used both the [True Greatsword God General - Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger] and the [Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger - Thunder Star in the Clouds]. Both Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tigers could stand in the air, looked exactly the same, and wore the same armor. The only difference was their greatswords. The Greatsword God General's greatsword was a Crimson Flame Gold Greatsword, which was more crimson in color and more gorgeous.

"If these two were to fight, who would be stronger?"

With this question in mind, Zhou Nan made a special trip to the card training ground.

He pitted the two Heavenly Kings against the Earthly Tiger.

Actually, the two Heavenly Kings Covering the Earth Tigers have the same health points, but the True Great Sword God General has a higher attack power of 90, while the Cloud Thunder God only has an attack power of 45.

When the two clashed, it was as if twins were fighting. Yun Zhong Lei Chenzi possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, excelling in both offense and defense. He immediately unleashed his Tiger's Gall at the start, brandishing his broadsword with imposing grandeur.

The True Greatsword God General was no less formidable. Although he lacked the Tiger's Gall skill, he possessed the [Martial Soul Mark]. He also opened with a tiger's roar, and a golden phantom appeared behind him, making him even more dominant in his battle against Yun Zhong Lei Chenzi.

Compared to real cards, the attack and defense stats of regular cards seem meaningless, and some unfounded blocking, dodging, and recovery skills are completely ineffective.

In the end, the True Greatsword God won with half health remaining, while Cloud Thunder Chenzi even used his resurrection ability but still lost.

"If only the Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger and Thunder in the Clouds could also become real cards, the Heavenly Realm Resurrection skill is too overpowered, it's unlikely to appear in custom card creations..."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Nan used the Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal to duel with the True Greatsword God General.

By observing the battle, Zhou Nan concluded that in terms of direct combat power, the Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal was weaker than the True Greatsword God General. Although both possessed extremely high spirituality, comparable to a real person, perhaps due to the martial soul imprint, the True Greatsword God General's combat skills were clearly superior to those of the Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal.

However, the nuclear-powered sword immortal possesses the [self-destruct] skill, making him evenly matched with anyone, with the worst outcome being mutual destruction.

Of course, Zhou Nan wouldn't dare let the Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal use its self-destruct skill. It was a real card created by Zhou Nan himself, and it might still disappear and not be restored even if it self-destructed in the card training field.

After leaving the card training ground, Zhou Nan went to Bailu Mountain and Wukong Mountain. Half a day later, he returned to the Great Snow Mountain Card Temple and spent three more days making incense and candle cards, paper money cards, etc. Afterwards, he went to the training room of the God and Demon Council.

"With Red Boy and the others looking after me at the Kara Temple, nothing will go wrong. My lifespan in the underworld has exceeded sixty years; it's time for me to begin practicing the Dry Mind Meditation..."

Zhou Nan silently calculated the time. The Dry Heart Zen, a cycle of sixty years, he cultivated in the cultivation room. These 60 years passed, but only two and a half years passed in the outside world!

Based on this calculation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, when I emerge from seclusion, the Great Emperor of the Universe will likely be another five years away from descending.

By then, my strength will surely increase significantly. If I work harder, when the Cosmic Emperor descends, even if I don't have the strength to fight him head-on, I should still have a chance to be resurrected.

However, Zhou Nan was still somewhat worried about the Dry Mind Zen. This Zen method was different from the closed-eye Zen and closed-mouth Zen. During the Zen practice, one had to be like a living dead person, shutting off the five senses and six consciousnesses, allowing the core energy in the body to undergo fission and fusion transformation, and finally transforming to cultivate the supreme bone, with the hope of reaching the highest realm of the Great Sun Heavenly Dao.

Zhou Nan's previous practice of closed-mouth meditation and closed-eye meditation did not affect his cultivation of Qigong and Dragon Subduing Palm, and he could also refine the Kingly Qi at any time. However, this was not the case when he practiced Dry Heart Meditation.

Of the sixty years that have passed, what Zhou Nan regrets most is probably his inability to refine the aura of a king.

His domineering aura has an upper limit. Once the limit is reached, it will not increase even without refining. Based on his current daily recovery of 30 handfuls of domineering aura, he will lose approximately 657000 handfuls of domineering true aura over a full sixty years, which is 4380 dou!
