Chapter 569 Combat Power of Ten Million

Amidst the floating clouds and azure sky, the two-headed demon lizard player soared through the air.

Behind him followed the Deep Sea Demon God Tu Sanjia and the White-Browed Monk Yuanzheng.

These three are on their way to Chiyang Mountain.

The two-headed demon lizard player ultimately failed to catch up with the previous Flowing Light, but he discovered the Deep Sea Demon God Tu Sanjia and the White-browed Old Monk Yuanzheng.

As fellow players, the three had some things to talk about. After a brief exchange, the two-headed demon lizard player learned that a mysterious sword immortal had appeared out of nowhere, slaying the Cosmic Emperor BOSS and saving Tu Sanjia and Yuanzheng.

He deduced that the streak of light that flew out from Chiyang Mountain earlier might have been that mysterious sword immortal. Recalling his experience in Chiyang Mountain, he felt even more strongly that this was the case.

"It seems my senior brother has become a disciple of another master, which is why he's willing to be the mountain guardian for him. That explains his formidable combat strength. Just who is this mysterious sword immortal? Is he a powerful figure from the Dragon Slaying Empire...?"

The two-headed demon lizard player talked to Tu Sanjia as he traveled.

The two people following behind him also had their own thoughts.

Tu Sanjia was slightly surprised to learn that Zhou Nan was the guardian of Chiyang Mountain. He said, "Speaking of that Black Card Emperor, he and I are sworn brothers. We became sworn brothers in the Chaos Void back then. Wu Tian was the eldest brother, I was the third, and the Black Card Emperor was the youngest. If we follow this hierarchy, Little Demon Lizard, since you are Wu Tian's disciple, you should call me Third Uncle!"

"How did you rank the generations? The Black Card Emperor is also a disciple of our teacher, not a sworn brother!"

Players of the Two-Headed Demon Lizard would never acknowledge any Third Martial Uncle.

Tu Sanjia continued, "My main mech was destroyed, and I have nowhere to go for the time being. I'll go with you to Chiyang Mountain to find a place to stay. It's good that the Black Card Emperor is there; I haven't seen him in a long time..."

The old monk Yuanzheng was listening to Tu Sanjia's conversation with the two-headed demon lizard player and felt somewhat bewildered.

What Black Card Emperor, what Crimson Sun Immortal, what Mountain Guardian...

He couldn't understand a word they were talking about and had no idea who they were talking about.

However, he still wanted to go to Chiyang Mountain, since he had heard from the two-headed demon lizard player that the powerful and mysterious sword immortal was very likely to be there.

He felt it was necessary to befriend this powerful figure.

This guy also has excellent mental fortitude. Even though the two-headed demon lizard player and Tu Sanjia ignored him, he remained calm and composed, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, and just kept flying along.

The three traveled at a leisurely pace, taking about half a day to return to Chiyang Mountain.

When the old monk Yuanzheng arrived, he immediately wanted to go up the mountain. He saw the mountain guardian sitting cross-legged in the air, put his hands together, and went straight up to him, saying, "I am Yuanzheng, may I ask if you are the mountain guardian? I wish to go up the mountain to pay my respects to the esteemed master. May I pass?"

He was also somewhat curious about the mountain guardian.

He didn't recognize this person, but they weren't the human player who had activated the Holy Sword quest either.

The mountain guardian glanced at the old monk Yuanzheng and said, "I am here to guard this mountain because I don't want anyone to climb it. You can go back now."

"Amitabha, why bother, benefactor? I am not a bad person. Why don't you go up the mountain and spread the word that I am an emissary of the Goddess of Cards? Perhaps the master will be willing to meet me."

The mountain guard, however, was not one to mince words and simply said, "Get lost!"

"Amitabha, please do not be angry, benefactor. This old monk sincerely seeks an audience with a venerable master."

"Roar!"

With a wave of his hand, the mountain guardian unleashed a massive handprint that crashed down from the sky, striking the old monk Yuanzheng in front of him.

With a loud boom, the ground sank into a deep crater. The round-faced old monk was startled and exclaimed, "This... what kind of palm technique is this? Could it be the Tathagata Palm? Benefactor, could you teach this old monk this palm technique? This old monk truly wishes to learn it!"

The mountain guardian raised an eyebrow and raised his hand again, this time launching a direct attack. The giant handprint formed by [Futian Xuanhuang] descended from the sky, directly slamming the old monk Yuanzheng into the ground.

The next moment, the mountain guardian frowned. He realized that the old monk had not been killed by his palm strike.

A kasaya appeared on his body, shimmering with light, and actually blocked the Futian Great Handprint, preventing the old monk Yuanzheng from being killed on the spot.

"A real item?"

The mountain guardian immediately realized that the cassock was no ordinary item; it must be a genuine artifact, perhaps a treasure left behind by a time traveler from the Dragon-Slaying Empire.

However, as Zhou Nan's god of imagination, he was not envious and understood that his master's cultivation now mainly relied on his own accumulation and he was becoming less and less dependent on external things.

The mountain guardian then flicked his wrist and unleashed another [Destruction Divine Halberd], this time instantly killing the righteous old monk.

The two-headed demon lizard player and Tu Sanjia, who were watching the show from behind, shook their heads simultaneously. Tu Sanjia said, "Why is Baldy making things difficult for Baldy?"

He also sensed that his sworn brother's temperament was completely different from before, so he didn't dare to make a fool of himself. He waved his tentacles at him from a distance and then thought about finding a nearby mountain to make a few more mecha cards.

Meanwhile, the venerable monk Yuanzheng was instantly transported to the Investiture of the Gods platform.

"Amitabha Buddha, I underestimated the strength of that mountain guardian. I never thought that even wearing my own cassock, I couldn't withstand a casual blow from him... What a pity, all my Godhood Points have been reset to zero."

The old monk couldn't help but shake his head.

The robe he wore was no ordinary robe; it was a treasure he had spent several years finding in the world of the Sky Moth under the guidance of the Goddess of Cards. The person who left behind this robe claimed to be Venerable Zida, from the Great Thunder Temple of some Dragon-Slaying Empire.

This kasaya also has a second form, which is to transform into a self-contained mecha, but Yuanzheng does not yet know how to activate this second form.

"Huh, White-browed Monk, you were killed too?"

A voice came from behind. Yuan Zheng turned around and saw that it was Wang Qiang, the zombie king, speaking.

"you……"

Yuan Zheng glanced around and immediately understood that this was the Conferred God Platform. He had died and ended up here. The Living Zombie King Qiang was also here, which meant that he had also been killed and was now waiting to be resurrected.

"Was the master killed in the Lich War?"

King Qiang, the zombie king, was a regular at this Conferred God Platform. He had lost count of how many times he had been killed. It wasn't because he was unlucky or weak, but because he was stubborn and had clashed with a man named Cihang Daoren. He couldn't beat him, but he still insisted on fighting, and that's why he was killed.

However, this is also a form of cultivation for him. Even though he hasn't accumulated any God Conferment Points and frequently camps out at the God Conferment Platform, his strength has increased dramatically.

Because he is not only a living zombie, but also possesses the treasures left behind by two time travelers from the Dragon Slayer Empire. He has a wisp of mortal immortal energy within him and is a proper cultivator who can use the Thunder Control Technique!

The True Technique of Thunder Control allows one to control five types of thunder: Earth-Shaking Silver Thunder, Heavenly Blade Crimson Serpent, Sumeru Purple Lightning, Flashing Azure Light, and Soaring Serpent Gray Radiance. Upon mastering the True Technique, one can unleash the ultimate move of Five Thunderbolts Strike the Head.

Wang Qiang's cultivation level is still low, and he can only use the [Earth-Shaking Silver Thunder] and [Heavenly Blade Crimson Serpent]. He can't use the other three thunder techniques. He feels that the more he fights with experts, the faster his cultivation level improves. However, Cihang Daoist's combat power is a bit too high, and his attacks are ruthless. If he were a little weaker, it would be better.

Yuan Zheng was surprised to run into an acquaintance here. He said, "This old monk did not participate in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King. This old monk was just careless and was ambushed by the guardian of Chiyang Mountain."

"Oh, actually I just got here too. I was just ambushed by a Cihang Daoist. Speaking of which, there are quite a few powerful natives in this Investiture of the Gods world."

"Yes, but the guardian of Chiyang Mountain isn't a native. He's most likely a powerful player who knows the Tathagata Palm technique!"

"The Buddha's Palm?"

"Yes, I saw him flip his hand, and a huge handprint fell from the sky. The handprint seemed to be made of pure gold and could split the earth with a single palm."

"According to what the master said, that's not the Tathagata Palm, but the Subduing Heaven and Black Yellow Palm."

"The Dark Yellow of the Subdued Heaven?"

"Yes, Cihang Daoren only knows this move. I've heard him mention it. This palm technique is called Futian Xuanhuang."

"The Heavenly Xuanhuang is absolutely not my Tathagata Palm, and has no power whatsoever."

"Master, you haven't met Cihang Daoren and don't know how powerful he is. Your Tathagata Palm is definitely not as powerful as Futian Xuanhuang."

"You zombie, come find me after you're resurrected, and I'll show you what the Tathagata Palm is all about."

"Sure, you've been solo for so long, it'd be good to team up..."

Yuan Zheng and the zombie king Qiang were both chatty people, and the two of them talked back and forth on the Conferred God Platform, so they were not lonely.

When resurrected at the Conferred God Platform, you can choose the resurrection location, but the resurrection location can only be provided by the system, and there are only five choices.

The two agreed on a plan, chose a nearby respawn point, and quickly reunited after respawning.

The zombie king Qiang stopped provoking Cihang Daoren. He wanted to fight a weaker boss to improve his gaming experience. He was also interested in the mountain guardian who knew the Tathagata Palm mentioned by the old monk Yuanzheng, so he went with him to Chiyang Mountain.

Ten days later, the two arrived at Chiyang Mountain, where they happened to witness a two-headed demon lizard player challenging the mountain guardian. After watching the battle, their sense of superiority vanished.

The two-headed demon lizard player was defeated again and was in a bad mood. Seeing the two brothers standing there like idiots made him even more annoyed, so he took them to his mountain and used the Heavenly Demon Fist to vent his frustration.

From then on, the white-browed monk Yuanzheng and the zombie king Qiang became sparring partners for the two-headed demon lizard players. Even together, they were no match for the two-headed demon lizard players and were beaten so badly that they had no chance to fight back.

A month later, the zombie king Qiang actually grew to like this life. Every time he saw the two-headed demon lizard player finish practicing, he would rush up and attack him. Although he was always beaten up, his strength improved very quickly.

He admired the two-headed demon lizard player, and his admiration grew even more when he learned that the player had created the Cloud Step and the Heavenly Demon Fist.

The old monk Yuanzheng could not bear this kind of life. Although he had his own robe, he cultivated mental power, which he obtained from the world of moths. Being beaten every day meant little to him.

Knowing that there were mountain guardians at the foot of Chiyang Mountain and that he couldn't see the mysterious swordsman, this guy thought of making a run for it to avoid getting beaten up, but he was captured by Tu Sanjia, who was piloting a mecha.

"Bald monk, I've had my eye on you for a long time. Come and be my target, and I'll show you the power of mechs."

Inspired by the two-headed demon lizard player, Tu Sanjia also wanted to find a sparring partner, so he set his sights on the Yuanzheng Old Monk and chased after him to fight.

A day later, Tu Sanjia discovered that the cassock on Yuan Zheng's body was very unusual. He forcibly studied it and found that it was actually a mechanical creation. Using the technological civilization of the deep-sea race, he slightly deciphered it and turned it into a mecha.

When Yuanzheng discovered that the Zida kasaya he was wearing had transformed into a steel mecha and enveloped him, he was stunned.

This is the second form of the Jida mecha.

After studying it for so long without finding the key, the Deep Sea Demon unlocked it in no time.

He immediately looked at the Deep Sea Demon with new respect.

When Zida's robe transforms into Zida's mecha, Yuanzheng becomes truly formidable.

Because the Zida mech is a real mech with real destructive power and super strong defense, it is not real and almost nothing can break through its defense. Even the Heavenly Demon Fist of the Two-Headed Demon Lizard player could not leave a mark on the Zida mech.

Yuan Zheng also discovered that his telekinesis was very helpful in controlling the mecha. His confidence swelled, and he immediately changed his job to become a mecha warrior, even wanting to challenge the mountain guardian.

However, the mountain guardian was no two-headed demon lizard players. His palm techniques were enough to threaten the mecha. Yuan Zheng took two hits of the Heaven-Piercing Handprint, noticed the mecha's shell was deformed, said "Amitabha," and immediately ran away.

From then on, the old monk Yuanzheng became fascinated with mechs and mech piloting, and he began to earnestly consult and learn from the mech master Tu Sanjia, the Deep Sea Demon God.

Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The guardian of Mount Chiyang, Lord Wangba, remains at the foot of the mountain. With him in charge, no one has been able to disturb Zhou Nan's cultivation for the past eight years.

On this day, two streaks of light flew out from the top of Chiyang Mountain.

The two streaks of light represent two cards, one of which is the Nuclear Power Sword Immortal card, and the second is the Yang Jian card.

The nuclear-powered sword immortal was created for the Great Emperor of the Universe.

Zhou Nan sensed that another Cosmic Emperor had appeared three thousand miles away, so he used the Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal card to kill him.

As for the Yang Jian card, it contains the god of fantasy, Yang Jian, who is naturally a god of fantasy with profound knowledge.

Zhou Nan released it in order to complete his own battle to become a god.

"I wonder what the other gods of imagination are doing now."

At the summit of Chiyang Mountain, Zhou Nan gazed into the void and murmured to himself.

Today, his Qigong combat power finally broke through the ten million mark, blasting his only combat power detector.

This ten million is a hurdle, and it is not easy to break through. Once Zhou Nan reaches this level of cultivation, he will officially enter the second level of Qigong cultivation, which is the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness.

The spirit that has been refined to return to emptiness is the primordial spirit, also known as the heavenly soul. Now, Zhou Nan feels the existence of the heavenly soul even more deeply.

The Heavenly Soul cannot reside in the body, and ordinary people cannot control it at all. But Zhou Nan can now do so. He can recall the Heavenly Soul at any time, and he can also let the Heavenly Soul enter the void and wander outside the physical world, which is to say, he can use the technique of astral projection.

Once the celestial soul enters the void, it is no longer bound by real space, and it becomes even more powerful in this imaginary world.

"I sensed Master Roshi's aura, I sensed the aura of the Star Wheel. With a single thought, I can find more of the core creations of the Imaginary Universe Emperor..."

Zhou Nan felt refreshed and invigorated. Instead of waiting for the nuclear-powered sword immortal to return on the mountaintop, he sent his primordial spirit out of his body and instantly traveled countless miles to a small mountain.

On this small hill sat a robust figure, none other than the Monkey Ancestor, Wu Tian!

Wu Tianxin sensed something, opened his eyes, looked at the void where Zhou Nantian's soul was located, and frowned, asking, "Who is spying on me here?"

The next moment, a figure emerged from the void.

The newcomer was Zhou Nan, who used his Heavenly Soul to locate him and teleported there instantly.
