While the Heavenly Realm was sweeping through the Human Realm, there was still a short period of time for the players to rest. Thus, the players began to seize the time to improve their strength.
The human race never lacked geniuses.
This saying was widely spread in the Three Realms, but both the Heaven Realm gods and the Underworld gods only had a vague idea of how great the human race's potential was. They never had a deep understanding of it.
But now, they were completely shocked when they witnessed the human race members who didn't even understand the basics of cultivation grasping profound power in a short period of time.
They didn't even dare to think about this kind of potential.
Although the Underworld also had many talented super geniuses, the gap between them and the human race's top geniuses was instantly obvious.
At this moment, even these knowledgeable ancient gods couldn't help but exclaim about how terrifying the human race was.
Some of the ancient gods couldn't help but sigh. If the Heaven Realm didn't have the help of the Holy Spirit during the War of the Three Realms, or if the two Human Emperors didn't leave, how could the Heaven Realm fight the Human Realm?
At this moment, they were glad that they formed an alliance with the human race to fight against the Heaven Realm.
They also knew why the Great Emperor of the East Mountain arranged for them to guide the human race members.
The reason was very simple. There was absolutely no hope of winning this battle by relying on the power of the Underworld alone. The only hope was still these human warriors.
Although they were weak now, as long as they were given enough time and many experts were born, the advantage would gradually tilt in their favor.
Actually, before they came, the ancient gods had raised their doubts to the Great Emperor of the East Mountain.
Even if the human race has unlimited potential, cultivation also requires time, and we don't have time anymore!
The Great Emperor of the East Mountain didn't give any reply.
But now, the ancient gods understood that their worries were unnecessary.
This was because these players had a special cultivation resource on them, which was the purest form of soul amplification, Soul Power.
This was a special cultivation resource that could continuously enhance the player's soul while improving their strength, allowing them to withstand the negative side effects of rapidly increasing their strength.
Witnessing with their own eyes a member of the Human Clan, with the help of his friends, advance from a mortal with almost no cultivation foundation to the Ghost Supreme Commander Realm, the ancient gods suffered a blow to their hearts.
In their eyes, this kind of cultivation speed was too f * cking ridiculous!
They had experienced a long period of cultivation and weren't born as ancient gods, so this kind of growth made them jealous.
They could only use one word to describe it: "cheating".
They had learned this word from the Players, and it was an apt description of the Players' growth potential.
However, some of the Ancient Gods felt as if they had seen or heard of this kind of growth rate before.
After going through the memories that had settled down for a long time, they thought of someone.
Renhuang had been slaughtered!
Ordinary human beings couldn't lead their clansmen to grow up so fast and make their subordinates immortal.
However, according to the legends, Butcher's subordinates were all like this. Not only could they kill their enemies to grow, but they could also become immortal.
And now, the Players were behaving exactly like the Sky Demon Army described in history, even their growth was identical.
At this moment, the Ancient Gods couldn't help but start guessing who the person behind these players was.
Annihilation? It didn't look like it!
In the eyes of these Ancient Gods, if the person behind the scenes had really been slaughtered, then the Heaven Realm forces would have already disappeared. How could there still be a calamity in the human world?
In this regard, they could only consider other aspects.
In the end, the most appropriate guess was that this member of the Human Race behind the scenes was a descendant of the Human Race who had inherited the mantle of the Human Emperor. The new Human Emperor wasn't slaughtered.
After understanding each other, the Ancient Gods slowly put away their arrogance and began to seriously nurture the members of the Human Race, instead of being perfunctory.
At first, they were perfunctory because they thought that the remaining time wasn't enough for the members of the Human Race to grow. Even if they could teach, how much could the Human Race grow?
However, now that they understood that the growth of these members of the Human Race was similar to that of the Sky Demon, they knew that these members of the Human Race had the ability to do so.
Therefore, their mentality changed imperceptibly.
There were even a few Ancient Gods who had conflicts and almost fought over the outstanding members of the Human Race as disciples.
The reason was simple. These Ancient Gods thought of the future.
In the future, among the most outstanding members of the Human Race, there was a high chance that there would be a leader of the Human Race.
Not to mention the level of the Human Emperor, even the Human Ancestor would be an incredible existence. Back then, ten members of the Human Race joined hands to fight against Tai Shang and beat him to the brink of death. If it wasn't for the arrival of Tai Chu, the outcome would have been unpredictable.
If one of the disciples that they nurtured was promoted to the level of the Human Emperor, it would be even more terrifying. They felt that they were really going to reach the peak of the ghost life.
By then, if the old man (the Great Emperor of Dong Yue) bullied them, they would ask the disciple who was already the Human Emperor to beat him up and knock out a few of his teeth.
Many of the Ancient Gods couldn't help but let their imagination run wild …
…
The growth potential of the players was thus recognized by the Ancient Gods.
In the subsequent teachings, these Ancient Gods were exceptionally serious. It could be said that they taught everything they knew without reservation.
This scene also made Lu Wu, who was behind the scenes, very pleased. Under their nurturing, the strength of the players grew rapidly.
In just three days, one of them had already begun to step into the beginner stage of the Law Mastery.
This person was Liu Chai.
Under the guidance of the Tree Master, Liu Chai, who had already begun to come into contact with the power of the law, comprehended the law of fist intent. However, unlike the Tree Master, the attribute of his fist intent was not 'life' but 'invincible'.
The Law was equivalent to the source of power, but the creatures who understood the Law could be given different attributes.
For example, Ao Jian.
Back then, the Underworld Sword Lord had mastered the Sea God's Sword Will. However, Ao Jian, who had received his inheritance, did not have this attribute of the Sword Will. Instead, he had created his own new Sword Will.
Therefore, even if one grasped the same power of laws, they would obtain completely different abilities in the hands of different people.
It was the same for the rest of the players. Under the guidance of the Ancient Gods, what they wanted to understand was the purest Power of Law, not the Power of Law that had already taken shape with additional attributes.
During this period, the player who performed the best was still the player named Wu Qing.
His talent shocked many of the Ancient Gods. In just four days, he, who originally did not even have the combat power of the Ghost Commander Level, had already mastered the Power of Law, just like Liu Chai.
Moreover, it was the extremely overbearing Overlord Sword Rule Sword Will.
Although he did not directly master the complete Ancient God Level Rule Sword Will like Ao Jian, his growth potential really surprised the Underworld Ancient Gods.
In other words, at this time, Wu Qing already had the ability to fight above his level.
Although his level was still 0, with the blessing of the Rule Sword Will, he was fully capable of defeating enemies in the Early Stage of the Ghost Emperor Realm.
Although his physical strength was still very weak, with the Rule Sword Will protecting his body, no one without the strength of a Late Stage Ghost Emperor could break through his defense.
The only thing he needed now was to cultivate, which was to increase his level so that his physical strength could keep up.
It was not that he did not have a shortcut for this.
At this stage, Lu Wu had already opened the soul coin cultivation system. Leveling up was no longer limited to killing monsters. He could use soul coins together with cultivation methods to increase his level.
After all, when players killed monsters to level up, they essentially converted part of the soul power they obtained into physical enhancement. Soul coins could be completely converted into experience for use.
However, the only shortcoming of this player, Wu Qing, was one word — poverty!
He was so poor that even Lu Wu could not stand it.
It had been four days since the start of the Battle Expedition. Many new players had more or less improved their strength by relying on the soul coins provided by their family and friends.
However, it was different for Wu Qing. His soul coin balance was still 0.
An orphan player who had no family and no friends …
Although Lu Wu could see that he was desperate for soul coins, he had no way to earn soul coins since he had just entered the Battle Expedition.
The five soul coins to enter Heaven Reverse City was because he had been standing at the teleportation point for a long time. A sympathetic player gave him five soul coins before he was teleported in.
Lu Wu had originally planned to secretly sponsor him with a sum of soul coins. After all, he was a wall-level player with great potential.
As the Emperor, Lu Wu had already begun to consider the development of the entire human race.
After all, the stronger the human race, the stronger he would be.
Naturally, he did not want to see a member of the human race with great potential like Wu Qing be buried.
Moreover, Lu Wu was not the only one who valued this player recently. These ancient gods who were entrusted by the Great Emperor of Dong Yue also regarded him as a treasure.
Even in private discussions among the ancient gods, they had already thought that this person had the potential to advance to the level of the Human Ancestor.
Therefore, they were extremely enthusiastic about Wu Qing.
They even wanted to pass on the other powers of the rules that they had comprehended to Wu Qing.
However, Wu Qing rejected all of them.
The reason for his rejection was also very straightforward.
I only use the sword!
Therefore, for talents with great potential like Wu Qing, Lu Wu was still willing to give them some Big Growth Gift Packs.
Moreover, the investment in the early stage would definitely pay off in the future.
This point could be taken as a reference for Ao Jian. When Ao Jian killed the five leaders of the Western Underworld, Lu Wu earned a lot of soul coins and recovered all the initial investment.
However, just as Lu Wu wanted to secretly sponsor Wu Qing, something happened that made him give up on this idea.
Because someone had already taken a step ahead of him.
…
At this moment, in the southern corner of Heaven Reverse City, Wu Qing was walking slowly on the street.
One could tell from his tightly furrowed brows that he was troubled at this moment.
The reason for Wu Qing's annoyance was also very simple. It could be summed up in two words: lack of money.
In fact, it was not that Wu Qing did not think of earning soul coins.
For this reason, he had read many posts on the forum on how to earn money, such as fishing, sea hunting, and so on …
However, at this moment, he was in Heaven Reverse City. There was no sea nearby, and there were no monsters that he could hunt. It was completely a barren land, and the way to earn soul coins was zero.
If he wanted to return to the main city of the Mansion of the Dead in Beiqi, he would have to spend a teleportation fee of five soul coins.
He was so poor that it was difficult for him to go home. This was his current situation.
As he was wandering, a figure in the distance attracted his attention.
This person was carrying nine Spiritual Swords suspended in the air, and his body was filled with a strong sword will. This sword will even made the Sword Will of the Overlord Sword that he had comprehended feel a strong sense of oppression.
At this moment, the person in the distance seemed to have noticed him. He turned around and looked at him.
Their eyes met, and both of them recognized each other.
"Ao Jian!"
"Wu Qing!"
"Long time no see. You've become stronger!"
Hearing this, Ao Jian was silent for a moment before he continued to speak.
"No wonder you're called the Sword Saint. It's only been a few days, and you've already grown to such a level. Sure enough, my talent is far inferior to yours!"
"You don't hate me anymore?" hearing this, Wu Qing could not help but ask.
"Didn't I already tell you? I don't hate you!" a hint of indifference appeared on Ao Jian's face.
When he abandoned the mother and son, there was only cultivation and revenge in his heart.
The sword in his hand was the only help he could achieve these goals. It could be said that he was completely obsessed with the sword at that time. But now, he had long looked down on the past grievances. His biggest hope was to be forgiven by Mo Lanlan and Mo Xiaoxin.
Family was more important than anything else in his heart. He had already vowed in his heart that all his efforts in the future would be to protect the mother and son.
(PS: Wu Qing and Ao Jian appeared at the same time in this book. For details, you can check out the battle on the mountain where Ao Jian first appeared. Wu Qing also appeared later in chapter 173. At that time, Ao Jian had already obtained extraordinary power. At that time, he fought with Wu Qing again and chose to forgive Wu Qing. The specific reason for the hatred was that Ao Jian had killed his father. However, Wu Qing did it unintentionally and did not really want to kill him. Therefore, Wu Qing chose to spare Ao Jian's life several times after fighting with him. He even tried to persuade Ao Jian, who had become obsessed with the sword, to abandon it!)
Wu Qing's expression was complicated when he heard this.
He had always felt guilty towards Ao Jian because he had accidentally killed Ao Jian's father in a sword duel with him. Therefore, he understood Ao Jian's mentality of becoming obsessed with the sword because of his strong desire to defeat him. He felt even more guilty about this.
It could be said that two generations of Ao Jian had almost died in his hands.
He had thought of making up for it, but Ao Jian did not listen to any words at that time. His heart only wanted to avenge his father. He wanted to cultivate the strongest sword technique and then defeat and kill himself.
Although Ao Jian defeated him and chose to let him go during their last meeting, Wu Qing still realized that Ao Jian had taken the wrong path.
He felt that if Ao Jian continued to cultivate like this, sooner or later, he would completely lose his feelings and become a person driven by the sword instead of the person controlling the sword.
However, at this moment, when he saw Ao Jian again, he realized that his worries were unnecessary because Ao Jian had already embarked on a brand new path of swordsmanship.
Moreover, he realized that Ao Jian was already very far away from him. The sword essence on Ao Jian's body was far from his own. They were not on the same level at all.
"Why are you still at Level 0?" At this time, Ao Jian suddenly asked.
Hearing this, an awkward expression appeared on Wu Qing's face.
Seeming to understand Wu Qing's situation, a smile appeared on Ao Jian's face. He then clicked on the trading panel, entered ten thousand soul coins and clicked on the trade.
"Here are ten thousand soul coins, take it!"
"What do you mean?!" Wu Qing frowned and asked.
"Nothing, I just hope that you can become stronger as soon as possible. Let's fight again. This challenge has nothing to do with our past grievances. I just want to see if the man who was once called the Sword Saint is already past his prime and can no longer hold a sword!"
When Wu Qing heard this, a trace of shock appeared on his face.
However, gradually, his eyes lit up with the desire to fight. He had not had an opponent in the cultivation world for many years.
However, at this moment, when he saw Ao Jian, the fighting spirit of his youth was once again ignited.
When it came to swordsmanship, I am the king!
At this moment, the Overlord Sword sword essence in Wu Qing's body made a sword cry, as if responding to Ao Jian's challenge.
