  Chapter 673 Make the Mountain People Great Again! (6600)

   Whether Ian has the blood of the mountain people is another matter, but he really has the inheritance of the mountain people, which is beyond doubt.

  After driving away Gian Ren, Elder Man Ya took Ian and Qing Chao back to the core of the Avod Department, which is above the sacrificial room where Ian "rehabilitated his wounds", and in the sacrificial platform on the mountainside.

  Here, Ian once again called out the holy seal of sacrifice, causing a silver-gray dragon shadow to appear in the altar as well, spinning and ascending in the altar like a living creature.

  —It’s not a forgery, Ian has indeed received the inheritance of the Dragon God Priest of Xiahui Lake!

  After confirming this point, Elder Manya was not only shocked, but also ecstatic.

   After hundreds of years, the real priest of the Dragon God was born, and the inheritance has returned again... Could it be that my wish that has been almost impossible to realize for many years has finally come true? !

  However, after calming down, the old man knew that things would not be so simple.

Ian can obviously sit back and watch his breakthrough fail and become the real core executive of the Nanling Dragon Worship Cult—Anfa is a Canaanite Moor, the King of the Mountain and Xiou are real dragons, and they are not of the same lineage as humans, and Pansha has no second ability. Level—he can obviously wait, use the most comfortable method to obtain power, and then use the sacrificial seal to gather the mountain people in the department.

   But he didn't do it.

  This only represents one possibility... that is what Ian is looking for, which is far greater than the power of the mere Dragon Worship and Avod.

   "Ian, what do you want to do?"

   Taking a deep breath, Elder Manya said in a deep voice: "As long as I can meet the conditions, I can agree. But there are some things that even I can't do, you can understand."

"It won't be that troublesome. I'm going to Qigang Mountain." Ian said calmly, and he didn't hide his purpose: "It's not those ordinary peaks soaked in the power of the Dragon God, but the real ones that are covered by our mountains. A holy mountain revered by the people as a holy place."

   "Holy Mountain...can be can."

  The elder frowned: "What are you going there for? It has been silent for a long time, and the dragon **** sacrificial fire that was lit in the past has been extinguished for two hundred years..."

   "Yes, it needs to be silent for a long time, and it needs to be extinguished."

  Ian showed a faint smile: "And I will go and light it again."

   Saying so, the water-colored halo flickered in the young man's eyes, Zhuo showed his firm will: "Elder Man Ya, I want to become the Dragon God's envoy in the true sense."

   "Then, put down the turmoil among the mountain people, so that the mountain people—or in other words, let all the humans living on this land usher in prosperity again."

   "This is what I'm here for."

   "You want to quell this rebellion... use the holy mountain to prove your identity as a messenger..."

  Elder Manya was silent for a while, raised his hand, and rubbed the space between his brows.

  He wanted to say it was impossible—but facing Ian, who had given him surprises several times, the old man was a little uncertain.

   "Okay." Finally, he made up his mind: "Then I will take you there."

   "But before that." Elder Manya took a deep look at Ian: "You have to explain the ins and outs of all this for me... Whether it is the book of Yinyao or your inheritance, I want to know."

   "It should be so." The white-haired boy agreed with a smile.

  The blood of Elder Manya is the wind-attributed dragon beast '飖卫龙' distributed around the Baisen Mountains.

  A kind of sub-dragon that can blow up strong winds, move clouds, and dance in storms.

  In the past, there were several Qiwei dragon groups serving the Baisen Dragon God, and their inheritance was also left among the mountain people, but with the departure of the Dragon God, the dragon groups also retreated to the depths of the mountains.

  Combined with the fact that the book of Yinyao was left outside, except for a few lucky ones, such as Elder Manya who had a little blood because of returning to his ancestors, this Dragon Guard inheritance was basically completely lost.

   But now, it has returned.

  Under the guidance of the ‘Dragon God Messenger’.

  Ian, Qingchao and Elder Manya walked towards Qiangang Mountain.

   After getting the assurance of Ian's "can be trusted", Qing Chao also followed.

  The swordsman himself was a little hesitant, wondering whether he was worthy of participating in such an important event.

   But Ian didn't take it seriously: "There will be a lot of big scenes in the future, you'd better get used to it now."

   "And, I also need you to be a witness."

   "How much scene can there be?" The swordsman muttered to himself: "My hometown doesn't have this kind of scenery... God, it's so beautiful."

   He looked at the scenery in front of him and couldn't help admiring.

  The long mountain road is under the moonlight at night, reflecting the moon-white brilliance. It winds forward, going deep into the mountains, and at the end is a peak, a blue-black metal mountain.

   That is Qigang Mountain.

Afud has guarded the holy land for generations, and the name of Elder Manya is taken from a poem "Wandering on the Long Cliff" by the mountain people. Now everyone is walking on the long cliff, which is a mountain with two raised peaks. , a cliff bridge formed by staggering.

  From here, you can overlook most of the Qigangshan mountain range. At the bottom of the cliff is a dense red and yellow forest. There are streams flowing in the forest, reflecting the moonlight in the sky.

  And on the side of the mountain forest is the gathering place of the Avod tribe, dots of golden lights are intertwined into one piece, like a chessboard woven by light.

Elder Manya, who is named after this, believes that it is his vocation to protect the tribe and the mountain people, and the dragon blood in his body makes him believe this even more. He is the chosen one born to pull the mountain people out of the abyss .

   But now, he was a little skeptical.

   Not because of other mountain people, but because of a... Bai Zhimin who claimed to have the blood of mountain people.

   On the way, Ian revised some details of his experience in Avakland and informed Elder Manya.

  In his mouth, when he was in the imperial capital, he had already read the entire content of the transcript of the Book of Silver Glory through the channel of Earl Phoenix, and felt the unique atmosphere of the Book of Silver Glory.

  In the Azure City laboratory, he sensed the breath of the Book of Silver Glory again, and faintly resonated with the spiritual energy in the book in the labyrinth of the subspace, and obtained some inheritance.

  As if it was destined by heaven, after Ian returned to Lai'an, because of these inheritances, he successfully obtained a more complete sacrificial inheritance from Xiahui Lake.

  The sacrificial seal is proof.

   It sounds ridiculous, and it was actually all made up by Ian, but it is not impossible.

   Magic books and holy books, as psychic creations with psychic souls, will naturally find inheritors on their own.

  If Ian is really, as he said, the chosen son of the Dragon God and the true messenger of the Dragon God, then it is not difficult to get the approval of the Book of Silver Glory.

  This is something that cannot be faked.

  Multiple lies, ending with one truth, Elder Manya couldn't find any flaws.

  Even if you find out... so what?

  Ian did give him the complete potion formula of the third level of Qi Weilong, as well as related advanced rituals.

  —Entering the cloud layer in a stormy day, the psychic energy field condensed by itself stirs the cloud layer, forming a vortex of a specific shape, and taking a potion when a large amount of wind-attributed natural source matter gathers, you can advance.

  Although it has not been verified yet, Elder Manya's years of experience in researching his own bloodlines have convinced him that the formula and rituals given by Ian are correct.

   This also convinced Elder Manya that Ian is indeed not on the same side as the empire.

   "You said you wanted to go to Qigang Mountain, and it was the Dragon God who guided you. To be honest, Ian, the Dragon God will not guide anyone, whether it is the mountain people or the white people."

   "Even if he didn't die, he won't return now, I'm sure of that."

Walking on the long cliff, Elder Manya said slowly: "But I don't care about your lies. The Holy Land has been sealed off for many years, and both Feiyan Land and the Empire are spying on its secrets. Entering, you can get the sacrificial seal, which can be said to be closer to the identity of the dragon god's people than us mountain people."

   "If you can really get something from the Qiangang Mountain...then, the Avod Department will fully recognize your identity as the envoy of the Dragon God."

Before, Elder Manya acknowledged Ian's identity as the envoy of the Dragon God. In essence, he only admitted that Ian possessed the dragon blood. He just endorsed this for Ian. The rest were blown out by the young man himself by hiring bards in Nanling. .

   But this time, what the old man promised was "the full support of the Avod tribe"—whether Ian wants to conquer other mountain tribes or become the leader of the mountain people, Elder Manya will support him.

   "I will use practical actions to prove that I am indeed blessed by the Dragon God, and I have the blood of the mountain people."

  Ian no matter what Elder Manya said, he just insisted on his own rhetoric: "As long as I can go to Qiangang Mountain, I can definitely convince you of this."

  Elder Manya was silent. He felt that the reason why he had not made much progress in unifying the mountain people for so many years was because he lacked a face like Ian.

  —If you want to call yourself a mountain man, you must at least have a tanned skin!

After crossing the long cliff, you can face the mountain of Qigang Mountain. The surface of the dark metal mountain is surrounded by clouds. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it is still as smooth as new. The sloping mountain wall is like a mirror reflecting the deep The sky gives people a sense of desolation and loneliness.

  The birds hovered under the clouds and sang.

  Only in terms of appearance, Qigang Mountain is indeed a miraculous place beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is worthy of the name of the Holy Land of Mountain People.

   "The top of the mountain is the former Dragon's Nest Altar. The Dragon God once slept here for ten years. His power turned the entire mountain into iron and steel, making the originally fragile rock mountain indestructible."

  At this time, there was no road under his feet. Elder Manya looked up at the top of Qiangang Mountain. Behind the clouds, there was an ancient and dusty black rock sacrifice site.

The old man stared at the holy mountain, and he introduced to Ian in a tone mixed with nostalgia and pride: "This is the epitome of our mountain people's past glory. Leaders will gather here to decide the future of the ministries.”

   "At that time, the top of the pitch-black holy mountain will be lit with a silver-white light, and the torch of the dragon god's sacrificial fire will shine on the heavens, earth and mountains like a second sun."

"Ian, our ancestors once overlooked the mountains from this mountaintop, and the people of the Dragon God walked and grew up in these mountains - the mountain people call themselves mountain people, not the wild mountain savages in your empire's population, Our mountains are the plants and trees in this mountain range, the bright moonlight in the silent sky, the rivers and streams flowing in the mouth of the gorge, and the calm and peaceful deep lakes... In this mountain, under the ancient altar, a In the smoke of this tribe is our hometown."

  “The mountain is our hometown and a symbol that unites us.”

   "And now, everything is in the past. The people of the mountain **** are falling apart, and I can only watch it happen, and I can't even stop it."

  Ian listened to Elder Manya's words, and he could hear the anguish in it, which was obviously a heart problem of the other party.

  The reason why the elder has not advanced to the third energy level may be precisely because he has not changed the trend of the mountain people's division and chaos. He has not fulfilled his wish and cannot believe in his beliefs and dreams.

  Therefore, the soul and the body cannot resonate, complete the final 'unity', and give birth to the mind light body.

  Based on Ian's analysis, the real difficulty of the third energy level is actually the resonance synchronization between the two thinking organs, the 'brain' representing the body's thinking center, and the 'soul' representing the essence of psionic energy.

When the second energy level conceives the soul, it begins to carry a lot of brain work, whether it is memory, calculation, or the skill of manipulating the source, the soul is gradually absorbing nutrients, condensing its own structure, and becoming more and more agile Quick, and when the soul can completely serve as the "second brain" and become the second thinking center of the sublimated person, the sublimated person generally reaches the peak of the second energy level.

  However, the way of thinking and even the logic of these two thinking centers may be different.

Just as the left and right brains have different functions and are independent of each other, so is the soul. When the brain and soul think about a problem at the same time, they may come up with different answers. Under normal circumstances, the sublimated person has auditory hallucinations.

  Some people with severe symptoms may even have hallucinations, unable to correctly perceive everything around them, and completely change a person like a demon possessed.

   In this regard, the sublimators of Terra have a very simple way to deal with it.

   That is 'desire'.

  Ambition, dream, wish, or desire—any word is fine. In a word, the sublimator must correctly recognize the desire in his heart, practice it, and sublimate it into the ultimate "belief".

  An unwavering, sublime mind and soul share the same 'consensus' belief.

   Taking this as an opportunity, the heart and soul can be merged into one, the soul and the body are thoroughly blended, and then the "mind light body" is condensed.

Elder Manya's soul has naturally been condensed long ago, and his body has been polished to perfection. In the vision of foreseeing, Ian saw that Elder Manya was dark purple, with a trace of blue light inside, which is exactly the peak of the second energy level. sign.

  Theoretically speaking, at this point, even Longhua, Elder Manya has a very high success rate, so it is not necessary to risk his life.

  However, his dreams and beliefs are flawed.

   It's a bit embarrassing to say, the old man may not believe that he can unify the mountain people and let the people of the Baisen Mountains belong to the same banner.

   So, he's stuck here.

The third energy level is such a troublesome thing, it has nothing to do with talent, it is just a kind of firm belief in one's own ideas... That's why Mikael said that as long as he becomes the third energy level, he will no longer deceive himself, there is Absolutely rational and objective self-knowledge will never make any mistakes in subjective bias.

  The sublimation of this thinking mode is also the most important characteristic of a sublimator besides strength.

  Ian is actually stuck here too.

In the Avak laboratory, under the catalysis of the power of the dead king, he already has a mind body. Ian's belief is to "go to the sky", whether it is his brain or soul, he firmly believes that this is his wish .

  However, under the guidance of Gan Song's tutor, Ian understood a little bit.

  Going to the high sky is indeed his belief...but this belief is not big enough, not powerful enough, not vast enough.

  It can represent Ian's own dream, but it can't fully represent the dreams of those who believe in Ian, follow Ian, and look at Ian with expectation.

  Hilliard, Elder Purdue, Master Gosser, Isengard, Qingchao, Scott, and Yardbert... These people, more or less, entrusted their dreams to Ian.

  Even... Even Inaiga II, who had never masked his face, took out the silver chip and handed it over to Hilliard, hoping that a latecomer could complete his uncompetitive career.

   There should never be only one star.

   "Ian... If you are really the messenger of the Dragon God, then you must understand."

  At this moment, Elder Manya said softly: "The holy mountain has been silent for hundreds of years, and countless people want to wake it up and find out its mysteries—all of them failed without exception."

   "But if you can make the Holy Mountain shine again—for you."

   "Then, the mountain people may be able to unite under your command."

  The old man turned his head and stared at the boy's side face: "Are you confident?"

   "Can you make it?"

   "I will succeed."

  The boy's side face was extremely calm, and his tone was not one of confidence, but a kind of indifferent announcement, declaring the facts of the future.

  For a moment, the old man was in a daze, as if the young man in front of him was simply a prophet who had foreseen the future.

  He didn't believe in it, but 'naturally' towards a successful ending.

   While Elder Manya was in a trance, Ian had already stepped forward.

  He stepped on the solid bluestone mountain, climbing towards the top of the mountain step by step.

  In the vision of foresight, the entire Qigang Mountain is a 'sublimation material' glowing with blue mist... And under such a huge and pure mist, there is a mist mixed with gold and silver shining.

  It was a cylindrical thing, buried in the very center of the mountain.

Just as Ian guessed, the Qiangang Mountain guarded by Avod's department does have an important legacy left by the Dragon God of Baisen in the past-but whether it is the fragments of the spaceship that fell from the sky or something else, Ian now Not sure.

  The fragments of spaceships falling from the sky should not be so common, but the secrets inside Qigang Mountain must have a lot to do with the real dragon.

  The majestic and steep black mountain is like a sharp sword, straight into the depths of the sky, the clouds linger beside its peak, and the strong wind is agitating on its peak.

Ian walked among the rocks, crossed the clouds and the strong wind alone, he could sense that the silver chip in his body was vibrating and responding, and the imprinted spiritual energy left by the Book of Silver Glory was also vibrating, an invisible Information is flowing between the two.

   "Mountain people...you want to unify, but I need a tribe—the Xiahui leader is still too small to achieve my wish."

   Talking softly to himself, Ian's tone was not firm, not firm, but calm without any emphasis: "So, I will do it."

   "I will lead you to the future I want to build."

  This is the true meaning of the blue star that guides the way forward...

   Herald, forerunner.

   Those who guide the way forward.

  【Permission confirmation...】

   Vaguely, I can feel a slight flow of information flowing in my heart.

   Then, under Ian's feet, silver-gray lines lit up one after another.

  Complicated and sacred inscriptions emerged as he climbed, every time his footprints fell, lighting up an extremely bright and glorious road on the Qiangang Mountain in the middle of the night.

  A silver-white light path leading directly to the top of the mountain is unfolding under Ian's feet, making the entire dark holy mountain reflect this bright brilliance.

   "My God?!" "How is that possible?!"

Watching this scene, both Qingchao and Elder Manya exclaimed. The former simply sensed the huge source quality reaction, while the latter opened his eyes wide because of the vision that appeared on Ian and the holy mountain. , Even the most prosperous era of mountain people has never appeared!

At this moment, Elder Manya had 100% believed in the identity of the messenger of Ian Dragon God—no matter what white people and mountain people, in the final analysis, the people of Dragon God are a group of human beings protected by the real dragon. If he is recognized by the real dragon, then he is a more purebred mountain dweller than everyone else!

   "But...why not me?" A flash of unwillingness flashed in his heart, but soon, the old man no longer had the energy to care about these small things.

  Because of the entire Sacred Steel Mountain, there was a slight hum.

   It's vibrating.

At this moment, whether it is the elder Manya or Qing Chao who is present, or the many mountain people in the Afud tribe not far away, dozens of different mountain tribes in the distance—it can even be said that the entire worship All the mountain dwellers in the Mori Mountains subconsciously raised their heads at this moment, looking in the direction of Qiangang Mountain.

  Their blood vessels are vibrating, and there is an invisible force that makes it difficult for them to calm down.

  South Ridge, Midra Autonomous Region, Jiamu Department.

Chief Kede Jiamu stood on the meditation tower built on the rocky mountain among the tribes. This middle-aged man with a much younger complexion stroked his beard, overlooking the thriving tribe in front of him, and the alchemy workshop that was gradually being built , and the element crystallization production line not far away.

  He couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

During the recent period, it can be said that Chief Jiamu was the happiest time - with the help of Fei Yandi and his own planning for many years, he finally advanced to the third level and became the true leader of the Independent Mountain People's Alliance. The leader, even the person in charge of Flameland, no longer speaks to him as arrogantly as in the past, but negotiates and communicates with him.

   Indeed, the independent mountain people failed to attack the Xiahui Territory, and lost a lot of manpower and equipment...but that is not his tribe!

The decline of Snake Rock, Zhenzhou and Tiechen Department just gave him the opportunity to annex and absorb, and following his momentum to become the third energy level, Chief Jiamu successfully placed both element crystallization production chains in his own in the tribe.

   In this way, he, Jiamubu, will become the absolute core of the independent mountain people!

   "The next thing to do is to cooperate with the dragons to take down the Frodo Autonomous Region. At that time, with the access to the sea, Flameland will be able to send more supply resources!"

  Thinking of this, Chief Jiamu's heart couldn't help trembling slightly. He felt that the independence he had just talked about was no longer a dream, but a future that could be realized!

  And he will also become the holder of the supreme power of the Mountain Alliance in the future... the first leader who will truly unify the mountain people again!

  However, just as Chief Jiamu clenched his fists and imagined the future.

  He suddenly looked stunned, and stopped all movements.

   Turning his head slowly, Chief Jiamu looked in the direction of Qiangang Mountain with an expression of disbelief.

There, in the sky where there were only a few faint clouds, a silvery white light suddenly lit up—that light, which all the living mountain people have never really seen, but from the mouths of their ancestors, Heard it from legends left by grandparents.

  That is the torch of the holy mountain, the flame of the dragon god... The holy mountain of steel is revived again, which heralds the prosperity of the mountain people again!

"how can that be?!"

  He was dumbfounded, Chief Jiamu leaned forward, and almost fell off the meditation tower.

  But the man had no time to react to this embarrassing gaffe, he looked at the sky in disbelief: "The sacrificial fire of the dragon god—is it lit again?!"

  A rumor suddenly appeared in the chief's mind. He shook his head and said to himself in disbelief: "Could it be that the messenger of the dragon **** that has been circulating recently..."

"it is true?!"
