Naruto Puppet Master

"It will be difficult for you to break through in a blind bloody battle. You should first practice the internal energy of Zhenqi and make up for your previously over-exploited potential. Only then will you have more hope of breaking through the Gangqi." Dong Zhuo shook his head and said.

Then he turned to ask the two about their current cultivation situation.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked about your cultivation for a long time. Today I will ask you how your cultivation in the Gang Qi realm is going." Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice.

Although the warriors in the realm of Gang Qi ghosts and gods are already sure of the success of condensing the flesh and blood relics, the first breakthrough in condensing the relics is related to the strength and potential of the warriors in the future. Therefore, Dong Zhuo originally hoped that Hua Xiong and Lu Bu could condense the flesh and blood relics in the Gang Qi. Accumulate and settle in the environment.

Lu Bu and Lu Bu also understood this, so although they received the method of condensing flesh and blood relics taught by Dong Zhuo, they had always just speculated on it and did not practice it.

"I am ashamed, I have only just mastered the true use of Gang Qi. There is no breakthrough to speak of." Hua Xiong said in a deep voice.

Dong Zhuo was not surprised by Hua Xiong's answer. Hua Xiong was not a genius in cultivation. It could even be said that his own talent was actually not as good as those top genius warriors in the coalition forces!

It's just that although Hua Xiong is not very good at orthodox cultivation, Hua Xiong can still quickly improve his own cultivation and strength by relying on real bloody battles, although the price is the constant consumption of the body's potential and even blood essence.

But at least it's a breakthrough, right?

?When Dong Zhuo pushed Hua Xiong from behind to help him break through the Gang Qi realm, he knew that given Hua Xiong's situation, without opponents of the same realm and similar strength to train him, his progress in cultivation would inevitably be very slow.

Therefore, I wasn't surprised when I heard Hua Xiong say that there was no real progress in his cultivation and he was just trying to improve his own strength.

Dong Zhuo nodded and turned to look at Lu Bu.

Unlike Hua Xiong, although Lu Bu was also a pure military general who became stronger through years of bloody battles, his own cultivation talent was able to stay several blocks away from Hua Xiong.

This is an absolute genius who can reach the peak of innate perfection and touch the level of Gang Qi even if he undergoes hard training.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo's expectations for meeting Lu Bu were also greater.

"The child has broken through to the realm of the late Gang Qi. Only his head is still unable to completely penetrate and fuse with the Gang Qi." Seeing Dong Zhuo look over, Lu Bu said immediately.

In essence, the martial arts realm of Gangqi Ghosts and Gods is to use one's own powerful martial arts will to transform the true energy into reality on the basis of the innate warrior, and be able to combine it with the body, completely achieving the integration of body, skill, and spirit. of one body.

And being able to achieve that level of deep integration is the direction of cultivation for Gang Qi warriors.

"It's just that the child feels that although his strength has increased a lot at this time, it doesn't seem to have any special help in condensing the martial arts flesh and blood relics except accumulating more Gang Qi Yuan Qi?" Lu Bu asked doubtfully.

Although increasing strength is a good thing, since obtaining the method of condensing the flesh and blood relics, the road to immortality is right in front of us, within reach. If they hadn't recognized Dong Zhuo's principle of accumulating basic strength, Lu Bu would He Hua Xiong could not wait to start practicing.

Lu Bu, who was making faster progress now, noticed some questions and naturally asked them directly.

"That's because you haven't reached the pinnacle of Gang Qi cultivation yet. When you practice until your whole body is completely integrated with your own Gang Qi, and your physical body, Gang Qi, and martial arts spirit and will are all integrated, you will understand that only then can you go Casting the relic is truly a matter of course."

"Otherwise, a slight decrease in the success rate caused by a forced breakthrough is a small matter. The real big deal is that the future potential is limited."

"The first step from a mortal to an extraordinary life is the most important step. If you take the wrong step, you will almost never have the chance to start over."

"Please give me some advice from my adoptive father." Lu Bu said sincerely.

Hua Xiong on the side also looked at Dong Zhuo helplessly and said nothing.

"This is natural." Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "Based on my own successful experience, there are several points that need to be paid attention to when condensing relics."

"The Gang Qi vitality in the first body must be sufficient, and the more the better, because when I condensed the relics, you also saw that I was going to survive the heavenly tribulation."

"Although it is only the lightest three-day tribulation, the intensity and power of the tribulation are much stronger than our own cultivation. Therefore, enough Gangqi Yuanqi can give us enough strength when we are struck by lightning. He Yuanqi can persevere.”

"The second thing is to choose the object of your own visualization. You must be extremely cautious. Otherwise, if you choose the wrong one, you will definitely regret it in the future."

"At this point, warriors who have cultivated to the peak of Gang Qi can almost feel the manifestation of their own nature and destiny. If there is no other good choice, then the thing that best suits the manifestation of their own nature, will and destiny is the most suitable visualization Target."

"Therefore, there is no need to doubt, just keep practicing. Even if you cannot reach the peak of Gang Qi in the end, as your cultivation level improves, the accumulation of deeper and deeper Gang Qi will help you overcome the tribulation." Look. Dong Zhuo said as Hua Xiong looked slightly depressed in his eyes.

"Thank you Xiangguo (adopted father) for your advice." Hua Xiong and Lu Bu said in unison.

"Also, after I broke through the Gang Qi realm and condensed the physical relics, I looked back at my previous training and realized the importance of the essence and blood in our warriors' bodies."

"If you can't break through in terms of Gang Qi cultivation for the time being, and you two don't accumulate the essence and blood in your body to prevent disasters and work hard, it will definitely not be as simple as an explosion of strength or a life-saving thing."

"Yes."

.................. ..

Another peaceful month has passed.

Although the days seemed a bit boring, Dong Zhuo didn't care. Anyway, everything was within his chance. He still needed to wait a little longer and just make adjustments before the big event.

On this day, when Dong Zhuo was adjusting his breathing as usual and silently refining the Holy Fetus that was not completely stable in his body, a large box came from Luoyang, completely breaking the stability that Dong Zhuo might have continued in the future.

"The wait is finally here." Dong Zhuo opened the big wooden box sent from Luoyang and looked at the letter on the top. He picked it up gently, but did not look through it immediately. Instead, he carefully looked at Dong Zhuo's own letter inside the big box, which had shrunk countless times. Dead wood statue.

Feeling the faint connection between himself and it and the strong scent of incense on it, Dong Zhuo knew that his arrangement was finally completed.

Most of it is done.

Time goes back to three months ago, just after Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang army to enter Hulao Pass, when the entire Dongsheng Continent and all the people with some reputation and ability in the territory of the Han Dynasty also set their sights on Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo and the coalition forces.

I don’t know since when, in the vast land of Heluo and the land of Sanfu in Chang’an, the belief and temple of a god named Chenghuang God has sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, spreading out in large numbers overnight. .

At the same time, after the City God's Hall was erected, a large number of believers everywhere began to believe in the City God who was said to be able to protect their families and the people.

Its good momentum and intensive worship activities made this city god, who had just appeared, become as powerful and famous as a great god in the world in just half a month.

This situation lasted until three months later, when Dong Zhuo received the wood carvings. Except for the city of Luoyang, which had not yet been clearly established, the temples and beliefs of the City God had been completely established within the sphere of influence that Dong Zhuo actually controlled.

I dare not say that all the people believe in him, but at least [-]% of the people believe that there is such a god named "City God", who guards human towns, protects the peace of the area, and controls the welfare of mortals in the town. The good God of judgment who brings harm to everyone.

That is to say, at this time in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, everyone's attention was attracted to Dong Zhuo. In addition, the places under Dong Zhuo's direct and actual control, such as Heluo Land and Chang'an Sanfu Land, were all cleaned up by Dong Zhuo, which caused Dong Zhuo to cross the border. After the tribulation, few cultivators with higher status would enter these places.

That's why no one has ever discovered this.

Otherwise, the achievements that ordinary gods may take millions of years to accumulate silently are completely overturned here, and I am afraid it will attract a lot of eyes and peeps.

After all, immortality is hard to find, but the god of incense is indeed much simpler. Even if you are an immortal, who can guarantee that you will not have any relatives or friends who need it.

"Wen You has finished it. I have to work harder. The sooner we start this, the better. We can't delay it." Feeling the connection between the statue in front of him and himself, Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice.

After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo looked through the previous letter and checked it.

The period was indeed as expected by Dong Zhuo. There were a lot of garbled codes in the period. According to the interpretation of the riddles agreed upon with Li Ru, Dong Zhuo got the exact time of the agreed plan from Li Ru.

Three days later, in Hulao Pass, a stone altar with a radius of nine feet and a height of nine stories was built by the Xiliang army generals working overnight.

Dong Zhuo, who had spent two nights in seclusion, refining the incense statue sent yesterday overnight, and successfully condensed the prototype of the incense golden body, was standing in front of the altar that was about to be completed.

Standing behind him were Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Li Ji and others who had been injured or were doing hard training.

And in the void further away, there are many immortal eyes who are also using magic tricks to watch the strange actions of Dong Zhuo and others in Hulao Pass.

They were casual cultivators who were sent by the coalition forces from the beginning to monitor the actions of Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong in Hulao Pass.

Three days ago, when Dong Zhuo and others did not hide anything, they naturally discovered the unusual behavior of the Xiliang Army from the beginning.

And then, even Dong Zhuo showed up today, and the following from Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and others made them understand that something big was going to happen.

"Something big is going to happen!" Among the coalition forces, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who had just received news that Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Hua Xiong were waiting for the altar to be established, looked at each other and saw this meaning in each other's eyes.

After three months of silence, even people who didn't know Dong Zhuo should feel that something was wrong with this war, let alone Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who had close contact with Dong Zhuo.

Anyone who knows Dong Zhuo knows that Dong Zhuo, who was born in the military, is a resolute person. As long as something is confirmed, he will release it as quickly as possible. He himself is not a person who likes to procrastinate.

Therefore, the Dong Group headed by Dong Zhuo has always been very efficient.

If the war went unfavorably, or Dong Zhuo was at a disadvantage, then everyone might not think anything of it.

But it's a pity that Hua Xiong provoked him for two consecutive months and taught him like a disciple. Then he finally broke out once, but was taught by Lu Bu to be a good person. For a month after that, he didn't even dare to go out through the door. Far.

This kind of fighting made them even wonder if they were kidding. No matter how arrogant they were, they would not think about whether Dong Zhuo was scrupulous about showing weakness or something in this situation.

"What is Dong Zhuo preparing for! What does he want to do?" This is a question that many people have already guessed, but now among the coalition forces, whether they are real heroes, fake heroes, or just those who are just paddling, they all know that this is the time. It’s time to not allow them to retreat.

Because he couldn't do it on the frontal battlefield for the time being, he could only wait for Dong Zhuo to attack.

But the only thing that is certain is that although Dong Zhuo must be hiding something, he is definitely not targeting coalition forces like them, or the main direction of attack should not be them.

"After all, if you really want to attack us, you could have done it three months ago. I have absolutely no ability to resist." Many people thought in their hearts, with flashes of thought in their eyes.

"It's a pity, if we delay it for a month and a half, we can deal with Hua Xiong and Lu Bu." Some princes, such as Sun Jian, who were more determined to attack Dong, thought with regret.

It turns out that since a month ago, Yuan Shao had sent out a distress signal to the people behind him because all his trusted generals were taught by Lu Bu.

And I don’t know whether the Immortal people are more efficient in doing things or they have been prepared in advance. Anyway, not long after receiving Yuan Shao’s request for help, the people behind the coalition forces sent more than a dozen treasures, all of which were specially refined and processed in various ways. Plant the seeds of acquired evil spirits.

It is said that as long as this kind of evil spirit seeds are refined, the power of evil spirit can be used to help warriors break through to a realm similar to Gang Qi.

Moreover, although this kind of practice of breaking through external evil spirits by refining them is not the orthodox martial arts method of breaking through the Gangqi ghosts and gods, it is a method created by immortals for their descendants to practice. As long as the quality of the evil spirits chosen to be refined is not too bad, it is not They will be inferior to ordinary warriors who have cultivated Gang Qi, ghosts and gods.

Even if there is a chance to obtain strong and sufficient evil energy to be refined, after success, its combat power will be more powerful than ordinary warriors of evil spirits and ghosts.

"It's a pity that the time is still too short. Even with the help of external forces, no one has directly made a breakthrough in this short period of time. They are all still practicing hard!" Thinking of Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others who are still practicing hard in seclusion, Yuan Shao thought faintly in his heart.
