There were 14 Paragon masters in China. This should be top secret.
Most rank-9 powerhouses might not even know about it.
Fang ping thought for a while and asked,"is your Star Town the only place in Sino nation that has a peak?"
"I think so?"
Su Zisu shook her head."I've never heard of it in other places, and no one from other places has ever come into contact with us. I mean, there's no place like Star Town in China, but there are some overseas."
"Many?"
"Not many. I only know one or two places ... I'm not too familiar with them. They don't seem to be as good as our place."
"Then, logically speaking, the foreign countries can't suppress the catacombs ..."
"They're restraining each other. " Su Zisu explained,"anyway, the fights between paragons are usually avoided. You scare me, I scare you ... But sometimes, the balance can be broken."
"Just like the fall of old ancestor yang, the balance was broken," Jiang Chao added. "At this time, the other patriarchs did not dare to leave the area they are guarding without permission. That's why Tiannan's catacombs has been breached.
"There are no paragons from the catacombs who are making a move either. However, they have more rank-9s than us, so we can't hold on."
Fang ping raised his eyebrows."You guys said that the paragons are being held back. But I heard that there were records of commander li and department head Zhang fighting before, including the capital city catacombs battle not long ago."
Jiang Chao ate the dog meat and said,""These few years ... How should I put it? it's just a probing attack. And ... Forget it, I won't say it. "
Qin Fengqing directly took the dog meat in front of him, gritted his teeth and said,""Fatty, you're keeping us in suspense?"
F * ck, if you dare to stop halfway, I'll chop you up!
Jiang Chao rolled his eyes. You think I'll be scared if you don't give me dog meat?
Alright, I'll give you face and eat a few more pieces.
Jiang Chao snatched a few more pieces and said in a low voice,""This is really top secret. You can't tell anyone. Even I heard it by accident. My pervert was talking to my old man, so I left a tape recorder with them. I only found out later. "
"Jiang Chao!"
Su Zisu's voice was much shrill.""You eavesdropped on the conversation between brother Jiang and uncle Jiang?"
"It's none of your business!" Jiang Chao said nonchalantly."I'm happy to do so!"
Su Zisu's expression suddenly turned serious."You're eavesdropping ... You're not allowed to say anything!"
Jiang Chao smiled and said,"I have to say it. And I just want to say it. I can't not say it." Your brother Jiang is unhappy, so he wants to make others unhappy too. "
"The humans are almost finished!" Jiang Chao said and sighed.
The few of them looked at him, but no one said a word.
"It's really, really over. "In the past, our Grandmaster was able to hold on because the restricted area of the catacombs was divided into two factions. One faction was monster life, and the other was monster plant.
These two sects were actually at odds with each other. Many years ago, the two sides had even fought for a long time, until they were badly battered.
The one who wants to invade earth is actually the monster plant's faction. The monster plant's faction calls us the land of rebirth and seems to be looking for some seed of rebirth. I don't know much about this.
"We humans and the powerhouses from the monster plant faction are probably evenly matched, so everyone is afraid to shoot at the rat for fear of breaking the vases.
Of course, this was what the old man said. In fact, humans were weaker than the monster plant faction. They did not dare to fight with us because they were afraid that the monster life faction would take advantage of them.
No one would do something like letting someone else take advantage of a fight between two tigers.
But now ... I heard that a peak demonic beast has appeared in the capital city ... It's not a human. Actually, it was a peak demonic beast who wanted to cross the border last time!"
Jiang Chao lowered his voice and said,"the peak of the monstrous beasts usually belong to the monstrous life faction. Of course, it's not absolute. Some monstrous beasts are very overbearing and start a war with the catacombs humans.
But this one ... Looked like a domestic one. Although he wasn't familiar with it, there was a high probability that it was a strong demonic beast from the demonic life sect.
What did this mean?
It meant that monster life clan was about to attack!
If the two sects of the catacombs joined forces, humanity would really be finished.
Department head Zhang's last attack was to repel this demon beast that had crossed the boundary. Another patriarch was currently confronting the monster plant clan's powerhouses.
The monster plant clan's expert said that this fellow was a wild monster beast and had nothing to do with them. The pervert said that he might be fooling us.
In any case, I also feel that they're just fooling us. If the two sects really join forces, we're finished. "
Jiang Chao sighed."So now, we should eat and drink. If we work together, we'll be completely finished. The patriarch will die even if he doesn't run." However, the fact that the two sides didn't fight meant that even if monster life faction wanted to make a move, it probably wouldn't be all of them.
It was very complicated!
"All in all, I don't think there's any hope for humanity. After so many years, the test is a sign.
Don't you feel despair?"
Jiang Chao sighed."I'm so desperate that I don't even want to cultivate anymore. In the past, I couldn't talk to those fools, but I'm telling you so that you can also feel despair. Otherwise, you'll think that I'm really useless and only willing to eat and wait for death."
Fang ping said indifferently,"what's there to be desperate about? waiting for death is true despair. It's better to rely on yourself than on others! "When you've reached Paragon rank-9, even if you really can't win, you can at least run."
"That makes sense ..." Jiang Chao nodded, then suddenly cursed,""Don't try to trick me! And rank-9 Paragon! It's said to be a rank-9, but it's F * cking different!"
Jiang Chao was resigned to his fate,"rank-9 and rank-9 Paragon are really not the same thing!" "These years, I'm saying that in the past 100 years, there are 33 rank-9s who are still alive in Sino nation on the ranking list. In fact, there are still five or six rank-9s in Star Town City who are not on the list. A few of them from the central government are probably in hiding too.
There were probably less than 50 people in total. Among these people, about 30 of them had broken through in the past 100 years, not even counting those who had died in battle.
This meant that on average, there would be one rank-9 every three years.
However, do you know how many paragons have appeared in the past hundred years?"
"Two." Fang ping rolled his eyes at him. 'Didn't you just say it?
"Yeah, you also know two!"
Jiang Chao said helplessly,"commander li is the best of the best. Rank-6 at 20 years old, rank-7 at 25 years old, rank-8 at 35 years old, rank-9 at 50 years old, and peak rank-9 at 70 years old. It's been a few years since he broke through.
Department head Zhang ... He's also a monster. He's 85 years old this year, right?
He had entered the catacombs when he was rank-4, and a pie had fallen from the sky. A rank-9 monster plant had died just like that, right under his nose!
"Old Zhang drank the life essence directly until peak rank-5, and then forged his Golden Bones and golden body from the inside to the outside ... He's about the same as you are now.
"This one also dug out the heart and brain cores of rank-9 monster plants. In just a few years, he advanced to rank-7 and forged a rank-9 divine weapon. With the rank-9 divine weapon and its power, he did a few great things ...
"Anyway, he's the very awesome kind, working his way up to rank-9 Paragon.
"These two are the Children of Fate. Just like that, they're only Paragon rank-9 when they're close to a hundred years old. How can I compete with them?
So, what you're saying is all nonsense. If there's even a little hope, would I give up?
Do you really think I'm that cowardly?"
He had just finished speaking when Qin Fengqing sneered."If you don 't, who will? "I'm not afraid. I'm a rank-5 this year. Next year ... No, in the second half of the year, I'll be a rank-6. Next year, I'll be a Grandmaster. I'll reach the peak at 30 years old!"
Fang ping darted him a look and said lightly,"Then you can't just rely on picking up rank-9 corpses, you have to pick up peak rank-9 corpses. One isn't enough, you have to pick up a few more."
Fang ping could not help but curse,"Picking up a rank-9 monster plant's corpse, and the kind with life essence at that. Department head Zhang, are you sure it's not the child of fate?"
Don't tease me!
A rank-4 had picked up a rank-9 monster plant's corpse, and it was the complete kind.
What did that mean?
What was the probability?
A fart from someone else could blow him up into dust, yet old Zhang had picked it up. Just this alone made Fang ping feel that old Zhang would not die even if everyone else died.
Jiang Chao shrugged his shoulders. You have no choice but to admit defeat.
Rank-9 monster plants were difficult to kill even for paragons.
It wasn't that they couldn't kill him, but that they couldn't kill him so easily when they were at the ninth stage. It could easily cause a big battle.
Even if he killed them, he would definitely take everything with him. If he couldn't take it away, he would destroy it and leave nothing behind.
In the end, Zhang Tao just had to pick up a complete rank-9 monster plant's corpse. You have to admit defeat.
At this moment, Fang ping no longer paid any attention to Jiang Chao.
He finally understood some of the things that he didn't understand.
Monster plant and monster life clan were indeed opposing forces.
The reason why the catacombs did not launch an all-out attack was that the ultimate existences were restraining each other.
In the past few years, the situation had worsened, which was related to the death of the Yang family ancestor and the loss of an absolute beginning realm expert. It was also related to the negotiations between the two bloodlines in the Forbidden Zone.
The battle of the capital city had originated from the crossing of demonic beasts.
From the inside of the restricted zone, he wanted to cross to the capital city catacombs. This was what triggered department head Zhang to make a move.
The reason why humans did not dare to gather all their forces to annihilate a cave was also because of the restraints of these powerhouses.
However, judging from the situation where the humans were being suppressed, those Supreme great ancestors were probably at a disadvantage all the time. They could only fight for limited rights and living space for the humans.
The innermost restricted area was divided into two factions.
Around the Forbidden Zone, the defensive Sea Mountain was the peak of the human race.
Further on the periphery were the East, South, West, and North domains and the 108 small domains.
The forbidden Sea was just outside.
At this moment, Fang ping finally had a clearer understanding of the catacombs.
Moreover, between the 108 small domains, there were boundary regions and barrier regions, which were also filled with danger.
……
After clarifying all this, Fang ping ate a piece of dog meat.
The taste was not bad, and the energy was rich. It was good stuff, but it would be a waste to give it to pudgy Jiang.
Fang ping also ate a few more pieces. Qin Fengqing had already started eating.
After eating for a while, Fang ping asked again,"does the sect have anything to do with you?"
"No, I didn 't,"
Jiang Chao was also eating, and his mouth was full of oil. He said vaguely,""The martial arts world has actually been destroyed, destroyed a long time ago! It could even be traced back to the Song Dynasty. At that time, the experts of the martial arts world had either disappeared or died.
In any case, the martial arts world had been like a puny cat from then on, and even third-rank martial artists were respected.
"Our star suppression city isn't from the world of sects. Of course, it's somewhat related ... Because some of the sects that have just been established were established by Warriors who came from star suppression city.
I'm not too sure about the origins of the patriarchs, nor do I know how long they've been alive. In any case, from the moment I found out about them, they've been at the peak of the mountain, and they've been suppressing the passageway to the mountain of the defensive sea this entire time. "
Fang ping could not help but say,"after so many years, you're still a rank-9 Paragon?" Is it already the limit of martial Dao?"
"Probably."
"I'm not a rank-9 Paragon, how would I know?"Jiang Chao said irresponsibly.
"How's the strength of Saturn city?"Fang ping asked.
"Why are you asking this?" Jiang Chao asked, puzzled.
"I'll ask and see how strong the humans are. "
Jiang Chao glanced at him and said casually,""It's not really a big secret. You don't know because you're too weak.
"Other than these Paragon patriarchs, there are also some rank-9s who aren't young. There are about 10 of them ..."
"Didn't you say five or six?"
Jiang Chao said unhappily,"I'm talking about the five or six people who aren't on the list. Do you really think that we're isolated from the world?!" The rest of them are on the list, working in various departments. "
Fang ping resisted the urge to smack him to death and continued,"What about rank-7 and 8?"
"Not much, 13 of them added together, it's about 50 or 60."
"Just this little?"
Fang ping was shocked. There were only four or five of them in one family?
He was really surprised!
In his opinion, since the establishment of Star Town City many years ago, it was very rich in resources. It was normal for a family to have dozens of grandmasters, right?
Su Zisu couldn't hold it in anymore and said gloomily,""Very few? It was very difficult to break through to rank-7. "Many people can't achieve mentality-vitality fusion in their entire lives. Even if they do, it's very difficult to materialize mentality ..."
Fang ping mumbled,"that's not right. Mentality-vitality fusion. Shouldn't mentality be materialized after a while?"
Su Zisu was even more shocked than him. She shook her head."No. Mentality-vitality fusion is mentality-vitality fusion. The materialization of mentality is also a huge hurdle. There are often people who are stuck at the mentality-vitality fusion realm."
"It can't be?"
Qin Fengqing touched his big bald head and explained,"Lion Tang has only achieved mentality-vitality fusion for a few days, and he's about to conjure his mentality now. Instructor Lu, you're the same. Why is it difficult?"
The four of them looked at each other. After a while, Fang ping looked at su Zisu and said,"Is it really that difficult to achieve mentality-vitality fusion and achieve mentality manifestation?"
Su Zisu was on the verge of breaking down. She said with a bitter face,""It's really difficult. It took my uncle 12 years to achieve mentality-vitality fusion and achieve mentality manifestation."
Fang ping looked at Qin Fengqing, and Qin Fengqing looked back at him. After a long while, he said awkwardly, "Don't look at me. The guys in Star Town City probably took too many pills. Our teacher used his real strength to grind his level. His spiritual power has reached the mentality-vitality fusion realm, so there's no difficulty.
"If that's the case ... Fang ping, you might find it difficult to materialize, and be stuck for more than ten years."
Fang ping ignored him and said to himself,"so, the strength of Saturn city is not as strong as I thought?" "There's only four to five grandmasters in each house. I thought rank-7s and 8s were all over the place ..."
Jiang Chao was powerless to retort. If that was the case, they would be able to crush those city powerhouses with numbers. How was that possible?
From rank-6 to rank-7, there was a huge hurdle, alright?
Besides ... I said we have 50 to 60 grandmasters and nearly 10 martial grandmasters in our city. Why does this B * stard think we are weak?
Jiang Chao was very puzzled!
He's so strong, so strong that you should be trembling in fear.
You actually think we're weak, what are you thinking?
Fang ping was not the only one who felt weak. Qin Fengqing also mumbled,"I also thought that you guys were very impressive. Each of you is a rank-6, and there are plenty of rank-7 and 8. After all this, there's only so little.
"Your family only has four to five grandmasters. Not counting your ancestors, you can't even beat mcmau. How are you doing?
"If mcmau had a Paragon, we would probably have a few hundred grandmasters by now ..."
"Get lost!"
"Minister Zhang is the best. Martial arts universities and the Education Ministry are considered one ..." Jiang Chao said angrily.
Qin Fengqing pursed his lips."That's right. That's why mcmau has nurtured more than a dozen grandmasters over the years. All the martial arts universities are combined. More than half of Sino nation's grandmasters come from martial arts universities. There are a few hundred of them. Is there a problem?"
Jiang Chao shook his head. Was that how it was counted?
There seemed to be a problem somewhere!
However, where did the problem lie?
"There are very few people in our city," su Zisu whispered,"we only have about 3000 people in total ..."
Jiang Chao suddenly came to a realization and cursed,""We have fewer people, but how many people do you have?"
"We don't have many resources,"
"There are still many people!"
“……”
The two of them were quarreling, and Fang ping felt a headache coming on. He interrupted, "Let's talk about the world youth martial arts competition. "
"This has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Chao explained,"it really doesn't matter. We're just fighting for the restricted zone's spots. Over here in the restricted zone, every three years, 30 of us can enter to compete with the catacombs 'genius martial artists."
"I don't know what to fight for. We just have to fight. Of course, there are good things. Many people broke through to Grandmaster in the Forbidden Zone.
"My pervert is one of them. He was a peak rank-6 when he went there, but he's already a Grandmaster when he came out."
Seeing Fang ping and Qin Fengqing staring at him, Jiang Chao explained again,""You guys can't go. There are too few spots. Only 30 people in three years, and the whole world is fighting for it. China probably only has about 10 people going.
Since our ancestor is guarding the front, shouldn't star Town City get a share?
The central government would also get a share.
Even the military has to get a little ... In the end, each family only has two or three people. Do you think there's still a share for you?
Moreover, not all of them would benefit from going. Every time they went, someone would die.
"Martial arts university students ... Previously, the strongest were only rank-4 or 5. Going there would be suicide. It's meaningless.
"Don't talk about why we didn't train you in advance. If you're really capable, you can join the government or the military after graduation. The powerful ones will also go.
"That's why most of you don't know about this. The central government and the military department know that some of the grandmasters nowadays actually came out from the restricted area. "
Fang ping touched his chin."The past is the past. According to what you said, it still depends on strength. With my strength, I'm not qualified to go?"
Jiang Chao shrugged and said,"I don't know about that. In any case, the matter hasn't been settled yet. If you have the ability, you can fight for it yourself. But ... To put it bluntly, you probably won't be able to go.
At the very least, you're not necessarily reliable. "
"What do you mean by that?" Fang Ping's gaze was dangerous.
Jiang Chao explained,"when I said that it's reliable, I meant that it's legitimate. The central government, the military department, and star suppression city are all absolutely reliable."
"Your ... Your martial arts university is considered unorthodox. I wonder if there will be any accidents.
Do you understand what I mean?
"If you've been working in the military since you were young, or if your entire family has been in the military for several generations, or if you're an orphan in the military, then you're a True Blue ..."
After Jiang Chao finished speaking, he added,"you few mutated beasts. You guys don't have a good foundation anyway. It's only right that I don't let you guys go."
"Your Foundation isn't white enough?"
Fang ping furrowed his brows. As expected, there were still some side effects.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Do you think we care?" Fang ping snorted. 'I don't care!
At most ... I'll go by myself next time!
He did not care, but Qin Fengqing touched his chin and muttered,""I'm not a mutant. Is my Foundation fair?"
Jiang Chao glanced at him and mumbled after a while,""You didn't mutate, you're weak!"
You can't even beat me, you're just a weakling, are you going to die?
I don't even dare to go, yet you still want to go. It's a waste of a spot.
These words ... Made Qin Fengqing's face turn red!
I'm weak?
"Alright, I'm a little weak. I'm only an early-stage rank-5. I'm a little sad.
Fang ping continued,"what about the inside of the restricted area ..."
"I'm not too sure about that. I know a little about the outer circle, but I don't know much about the inner circle. I only know that there are two factions."
Jiang Chao shrugged and said,"I'm just a good-for-nothing who just sits around and waits for death. I know a little about the public, but I can only eavesdrop on some top-secret information. I can't do it often either. How much do you think I know?"
Beside him, su Zisu noticed Fang Ping's gaze and quickly said,"I know even less than Jiang Chao. I wouldn't dare eavesdrop on my family."
"That's all you know?"
"Yes."
Fang ping frowned and glanced at Qin Fengqing. Qin Fengqing understood and put away the dog meat.
That's all you two know. Just have some dog meat. Don't waste it.
This wasn't real dog meat. This was rank-7 beast meat. If it was given to others to eat, it could increase their energy.
Jiang Chao almost died from anger. To burn the bridge after crossing it to this extent, the two of you are too realistic!
Qin Fengqing said helplessly,"I'll give some to my juniors. It's not like your cultivation will increase after eating it. It's too extravagant. I'll treat you to a barbeque later. I'll treat you to a few thousand skewers. Is that enough?"
Jiang Chao was speechless. He cursed,"I knew you guys weren't good people. You've been plotting against us from the beginning ... But forget it. I'm a magnanimous man. I can't be bothered to argue with you."
"If you guys are really stronger and get rid of the catacombs, we can still enjoy more. If you can't kill them ... Then you'll die on your own. It has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Chao's words made Fang ping look at him in a new light. He could not help but say,"Great wisdom may appear to be stupidity. You're still the one who can see things clearly. It's good for a spoiled second generation to enjoy life in peace. Don't cultivate next time and give me all the resources. When I reach the peak, I'll take you and run away!"
Jiang Chao glanced at him with a disdainful look. I'll never believe you!
Qin Fengqing saw that Fang ping had said everything he wanted to say, so he added helplessly,"You can give me little SU's money. Invest in me. When I reach the top, it won't be a problem for me to marry you ..."
Su Zisu's face turned red in anger!
Do you think I'm stupid?
Fang ping did some mental calculations, but he still did not know much about the restricted zone.
However ... He had a rough idea of some things.
In short, this meal was not in vain.
The information from the upper echelons of the human race had also begun to reveal itself to him.
