Xuantian Dragon Zun

Jinshan World, the Meng family's mansion in the Lord's Holy City!

After successfully breaking through and reaching the eight-star realm, Du Long chose to leave the inheritance space of the Jinshan Secret Realm and return directly to the Meng Family Mansion.

Originally, I just thought that it was time to come back and show my face after not showing up for a long time, but I never thought that I would be stopped by the people sent by the great elder to look for me just after I returned home.

"Meng Tao! Where have you been all these years?! Seeing that the ranking competition is about to start, I almost sent people to turn over the entire main holy city!" The great elder who just saw him immediately complained. The ground babbled.

"Hehe!" Facing the dissatisfied Great Elder, Du Long could only scratch his head and laugh dryly: "The Great Elder is worried, I didn't leave the main holy city, I just stayed at a friend's house to practice in seclusion."

"Cultivation in seclusion at the head of my friend's house?!" The elder was a little surprised and said: "Don't there be any secret training rooms in the Meng Mansion?! Why would you go to someone else's house to practice in seclusion?!"

"Well..." Du Long could only find an excuse for himself again: "I had an idea when I was visiting a friend, and I immediately practiced in seclusion at his home for a period of time!"

"I feel something?!" The eldest elder of the Meng family took a serious look at the fake 'Meng Tao' in front of him, and then his expression changed wildly: "You... have you broken through and reached the eighth level?!"

"Yes!" Du Long continued to scratch his head and replied with a dry smile: "This makes me realize something...I accidentally made a breakthrough while practicing in seclusion!"

"..."

The eldest elder of the Meng family was speechless. After a long time, this kid unexpectedly broke through to the eighth level without saying a word. How could he represent the family in the seventh level ranking competition? !

"Great Elder, there is no need to think too much!" Du Long felt a little guilty when facing the disappointed Great Elder, and could only comfort him: "Although I can't participate in the seventh-level ranking competition, the Meng family also has one more person. Are you a strong man in the eighth level?!"

"Alas!" Until this time, the eldest elder of the Meng family, Fang Chang, shook his head and sighed: "That's true. At least the Meng family has an eighth-level strongman. If you gain something, you will inevitably lose something!"

"That's right!" Seeing that he had figured it out, Du Long changed the subject and said: "I wonder how the schedule of the ranking competition is arranged?! If I have time, I also want to go to the ranking competition!"

"In five years' time, the seventh-level ranking competition will begin!" The elder of the Meng family immediately explained: "After the seventh-level ranking competition is over, we will take a 100,000-year break before holding the eighth-level ranking competition, and then rest again. A ninth-level ranking competition will be held one hundred thousand years from now!"

"Each level has to wait for a hundred thousand years?! What's wrong with this?!" Du Long asked with confusion on his face.

"The timing of the ranking competition has always been this way!" Great Elder Fu Xu replied: "As for the reason behind it...according to rumors...it should be to allow seventh-level players to break through and continue to participate in the eighth-level competition. A chance, right?!”

"Oh?!" Du Long nodded without knowing why: "There is still a hundred thousand years between us, maybe by then... maybe I can still participate in the eighth-level ranking competition?!"

"Participate in the eighth-level competition?!" The great elder's originally slightly disappointed expression suddenly changed, and his eyes immediately burst into life as he said, "That's right! There are not many members of the family who are in the eighth-level realm. You must sign up when the time comes. Participate!”

Du Long rolled his eyes speechlessly. He originally just wanted to say something casually, but never thought that the great elder in front of him would actually take it seriously? !

Thinking that he still had 100,000 years of preparation time, he was too lazy to continue to struggle with this issue. He exchanged a few polite words with the great elder and returned to the small courtyard where he lived.

His return did not attract special attention from the head of the family, Meng Long. Meng Long just nodded and said nothing more after hearing that he had returned home.

But not long after, when he was summoned by the family elder, he realized that 'Meng Tao' had broken through to the eighth level.

The great elder made this matter public because he wanted the Meng family's senior management to select a seventh-level clansman to participate in the competition.

"What the hell is that kid doing?! Why did he break through to the eighth level when he knew the family wanted him to participate in the seventh level ranking competition?!" the family leader Meng Long roared in public.

All the high-ranking family members at the scene knew very well that he was just using the topic to show Meng Tao's displeasure, so naturally no one was willing to take up the topic.

After all, who stipulates that a certain tribe must deliberately suppress and not break through to the eighth level in order to participate in the competition? !

When one's cultivation reaches level seven or above, every major level breakthrough is as difficult as reaching the sky. Who can guarantee that if you don't break through this time, you will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the moon next time to find that rare opportunity for breakthrough? !

All in all, Patriarch Meng Long’s request is a bit ridiculous!

"Okay!" The eldest boss of the Meng family shouted in a low voice: "How can you blame Meng Tao for this?! It is a great good thing that the family can have an eighth-level strongman!"

"The purpose of calling everyone here today is to discuss who should be sent to participate in the seventh-level ranking competition next. It is not to discuss Meng Tao's breakthrough to the eighth-level realm!"

In this way, under the correction of the eldest elder of the Meng family, the high-level meeting of the Meng family returned to its proper track and began to discuss which seventh-level clan member should participate in the competition.

Du Long naturally knew nothing about this. His return to the Meng Mansion was just to show his face. As for the bullshit fighting for the family, it had nothing to do with him!

With the mentality that this matter had nothing to do with it, he only stayed in the Meng Mansion for one night and then went out to visit many 'friends'.

After visiting continuously for a period of time, one day I happened to have some insights and stayed with a good friend's family leader for retreat.

For his character of not treating himself as an outsider, his "friends" have gradually become accustomed to it, and they often will not refuse the request of such a generous friend to borrow the secret cultivation room.

But Du Long's real body changed his appearance and aura again, left the main holy city of Jinshan and went to another intermediate dangerous situation, and began to reselect the target to be captured alive.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Du Long does not intend to continue to use the identities of the previous group of people. He wants to capture a group of people again alive and then use their identities to act.

The reason for going to so much trouble is naturally because he doesn't want to use someone's identity to enter the Jinshan Secret Realm, but the other person will appear in front of the public before he comes out.

After all, the previous turmoil of purchasing Jinshan tokens in large quantities has not completely passed, and there are still many forces paying attention to all the monks entering and leaving the Jinshan secret realm.

Once the secret of borrowing other people's identities to enter and exit the Jinshan Secret Realm is leaked, then the secret of purchasing a large amount of Jinshan Tokens will definitely be leaked, and then there will be a high probability of being completely exposed to the eyes of major forces.

All in all, as an outsider, Du Long must not reveal his true identity easily. Once the Tarot family discovers him, he will be in trouble.

In that intermediate dangerous environment, Du Long took several shots in succession, and with the secret help of Bodhi Buddha, he successfully captured several groups of people alive.

Then he returned to the main holy city of Jinshan again, and borrowed a new identity to enter the Jinshan secret realm to practice in seclusion again.

Having just broken through and reached the eight-star realm, he can continue to comprehend and practice without any bottlenecks, constantly improving from the early eight-star realm to the middle and late eight-star realms and even the peak realm in the later stages.

It took thousands of Jinshan Tokens to break through and reach the Seven-Star Peak before, and it also took about hundreds of thousands of years of current time!

This time starting from the early stage of Eight-Star cultivation, Du Long's difficulty in discovering the secrets of eight-dimensional time and space has doubled exponentially.

After doing some calculations based on his training progress, he immediately discovered that it would take at least twice as long to reach the peak of eight stars.

In other words, if you want to break through and reach the eight-star peak, you must spend at least two thousand Jinshan tokens. According to each token, you can only practice for a hundred years in real time. That is, it takes two hundred thousand years in real time to break through and reach the eight-star peak. peak.

‘Does it take that long to break through and reach the peak of eight stars? ! ’ With hundreds of millions of distractions, Du Long could easily find a small part of his mind to think wildly: ‘It seems like this. . . I am afraid that there is a high probability that I will live up to the expectations of the Meng family elder again? ! ’

One mind is thinking wildly, while the other tens of trillions of minds are all immersed in practice.

In addition to comprehending the rules of multi-dimensional time and space that are abundant in the world of cultivation, he is also upgrading all the small immortal worlds in his body into an eight-dimensional world, and then continues to increase the number of cell origin clones.

Since breaking through and reaching the invincible realm of the sixth level of Dzogchen, Du Long has found that the original limits of his body and soul have been sublimated and transformed, and he will no longer reach the limit bottleneck in some aspects as before.

In this way, as a monk who creates the world within his body, he can save a lot of time and energy that should be used to polish the origin of his body and soul!

Time continues to pass year after year, and Du Long's understanding of the rules of the eight-dimensional space-time avenue is constantly deepening!

As time goes by, the number of Jinshan Tokens in his hand is also decreasing. Every time the number decreases by a certain amount, he has to go out, and then secretly change his identity and come in to continue his hard work.

Every moment, monks from different forces and identities will enter the Jinshan Secret Realm. The Jinshan Secret Realm in the God Realm is open to all people with reasonable identities, as long as you have the Jinshan Token in your hand.

In this regard, the God Realm must be more tolerant and open than the Lower Realm, which also gives Du Long more room for maneuver.

It is precisely because of this that Du Long's entry and exit into the secret realm of Jinshan to accept the multi-dimensional creation inheritance has not attracted the attention of all parties.

Most of the forces that pay attention to this place will pay attention to those monks who have stayed in the secret territory of Jinshan for a long time. No one really doubts his goal of constantly changing identities.

It’s no wonder that all the forces ignored him. It was really because the method he used was too cautious, at least it had never happened before in the entire history of Jinshan World.

In short, he took advantage of such a loophole and secretly changed his identity again and again to enter the Jinshan secret realm, without arousing the suspicion of all outside forces.

While Du Long was desperately going in and out of the Jinshan Secret Realm and working hard to improve his cultivation, there were two events that were closely related to him happening in the outside world.

One is naturally the Tarot family's pursuit of 'Hongwu', because 'Hongwu' has been completely missing for a long time. This also made the senior Tarot family responsible for this information finally unable to withstand the pressure and took the initiative to apologize to the family leader Dennis. .

After learning about this, Denis, the patriarch of the Tarot family, was furious and convicted the intelligence executive, and sent another intelligence executive to follow up on intelligence matters related to 'Hongwu'.

Secondly, because Du Long captured several adventuring teams alive twice in succession, the families of those missing persons began to search for them.

At first, those families discovered that their missing relatives had appeared at the entrance and exit of Jinshan Secret Realm, and then they disappeared soon after. Even relatives and friends could not contact them through messages.

There are not many family members of these missing persons searching for their relatives. Many people also believe that the missing relatives have entered a dangerous situation again, or have entered the secret realm of Jinshan again, so they cannot communicate through messages.

In short, the missing persons incident did not make a big fuss, and not many people paid attention to it.

After all, the entire Jinshan world is vast and boundless, and there are endless creatures living inside.

People continue to disappear or die in various places every day. Those who were captured alive by Du Long have at least the soul jade talismans left in their families that have not been broken into pieces, which also means that they are all still alive.

Compared to those whose soul jade talismans were shattered after disappearing, the prisoners captured alive by Du Long were much luckier.

Du Longcai didn't have time to pay attention to these things in the outside world. He had devoted all his attention to seclusion and ascetic cultivation. One hundred thousand years of real time was about to run out in an instant.

On this day, when Du Long left the Jinshan Secret Realm and prepared to change his identity again, a message from the elder of the Meng family appeared directly in his hand.

"You brat! One hundred thousand years are about to pass. What have you been busy with for so long?! The eighth-level ranking competition is about to begin if it doesn't happen!"

The slightly angry voice of the eldest elder of the Meng family resounded through the communication formation stone, and you could feel the old man's glaring look in his words.

"Hey! Don't be angry, Great Elder. Didn't I seize the time to end my retreat?! Next, I will stay in the Meng Mansion and fully prepare to participate in the eighth-level ranking competition!" Facing the Great Elder of the Meng family, Reprimanded, Du Long could only find an excuse and reply.

"That's pretty much it!" Elder Meng's tone softened a little and he said, "You little brat still has some conscience, so I didn't waste my two Jinshan Tokens in vain!"

Du Long rolled his eyes and almost shouted that your two Jinshan Tokens were not enough for him to stuff between his teeth. Of course, he had to admit this favor.
