Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 191 - The 72nd Level of Qi Cultivation

Chapter 191: The 72nd Level of Qi Cultivation

When they heard that an Epic-ranked human had appeared in the city, the morale of the city-guarding soldiers and mutants soared. The commander of the city guard came to welcome him personally because he knew very well that an Epic-ranked creature could turn the situation around.
Although he had heard that Wei Huo wanted to leave the city to face the enemy, the commander kept trying to persuade him. He believed that Epic-ranked creatures could not be mobilized easily. Fighting now would be just a waste of stamina. He could only achieve the greatest effect at the most critical moment.
However, Wei Huo did not agree. He said, “Dealing with death is my cultivation.”
To him, murder and destruction were a form of cultivation and part of his path.
Life and death were very common in the world. A long time ago, people had thought that wolves were too cruel to sheep because they ate them. In the end, they had hunted wolves wantonly and destroyed the ecosystem’s balance. After eating the evil fruit, people had realized that sheep ate grass and wolves ate sheep. There was new life and destruction all the time. Only this way could the natural world achieve balance.
People feared death, but if they did not die, the world would be destroyed.
The Eldest Senior Brother and Junior Brother followed Wei Huo closely. Upon hearing that, the Eldest Senior Brother seemed to understand something and mumbled to himself, “Cultivation… What is cultivation?”
The commander did not understand Wei Huo’s words. He did not think that Wei Huo was acting cool. Instead, he felt that there was a deeper meaning in Wei Huo’s words. It might be the concept that was necessary to enter the Epic stage. Although he had not seen the Epic stage with his own eyes, he had heard of the strength of the Epic stage. That was why he did not stop him.
Wei Huo walked out of the city gate. Many people stood on their tiptoes to see if the Epic-ranked creature had three heads and six arms.
Someone asked in confusion, “Aren’t Epic-ranked creatures as tall as Godzilla? Why are Epic-ranked humans similar to ordinary people?”
Someone else replied, “That’s because he hasn’t transformed yet. He will naturally turn into a giant when he encounters a strong enemy.”
A player said, “I witnessed the entire process of the Epic-ranked battle. I also heard the Epic-ranked mutant say that humans are born with Dao Bodies. Do you think we should cultivate if we want to enter the Epic stage?”
A human came to a realization. “After this calamity is over, I must worship this Epic-ranked creature as my master. I can’t miss this great opportunity!”
Players and humans communicated with each other, so it was almost impossible to tell the difference between them and the Gods of the Divine Realm. They were all humans, but why were the humans on Earth so much better than the Gods of the Divine Realm?
Wei Huo thought about it. This was probably because the Gods of the Divine Realm did not have a brain.
If souls were data and software, the brain should be the hardware. Without this hardware, humans would be a little dumb. For example, some people thought that ghosts and vengeful spirits were terrifying at first, but after careful thought, they thought that these spirits were sometimes dumb.
They were obviously powerful, but they only knew how to scare people. They would not come up with intelligent schemes.
In comparison, demons were much smarter and knew how to play tricks. This was probably the difference between having a brain and not having one.
At that moment, Wei Huo appeared outside the city. The black aura of nirvanic extermination spread out and drilled the ground. People suddenly felt an aura of death coming from Wei Huo’s body. It seemed as if he had dreamed of falling into an abyss in his sleep or he had walked into an abandoned ancient building.
People could not help but smell the rotten scent of wood. However, this was not what they were really smelling. This was the subconscious interpretation of the brain regarding this scent. The subconscious was warning them to leave this place as soon as possible.
Just like before the calamity, some people felt uneasy. A super earthquake had taken place in a city on the Mongolian Plateau. Many people had felt uneasy and yearned to go out for a walk because their houses had been too stuffy. However, a huge earthquake had occurred and countless houses had collapsed. They had escaped the calamity.
Wei Huo’s aura gradually spread out. A Legendary-level creature like him could indeed be called a human-shaped calamity, but he did not fully display his Legendary-level strength. He only displayed the strength of an Epic-ranked imposing aura. His goal was to lure the Legendary-ranked Ant out.
Wei Huo took a huge step forward and reached the battlefield. Wherever he went, ants died.
The people on the armored city wall were amazed.
Someone sighed. “He’s too strong. He makes killing ants seem simpler than killing dogs.”
Someone said, “I saw him hang an Epic-ranked mutant ant and beat it up. His strength has probably reached the late stage or peak of the Epic stage, right?”
The Eldest Senior Brother and Junior Brother were not a burden. They stood under the city gate. A few of the soldiers respected them very much. In the Soaring Cloud City, the strong were respected.
The Eldest Senior Brother watched as Wei Huo continued killing. As Wei Huo walked over, he saw the surrounding Ant Soldiers die one after another.
The Eldest Senior Brother sighed. “He’s too terrifying. He’s at least at the 36th Level of the Foundation Establishment realm.”
The Junior Brother sighed as well. “He’s too terrifying. I’ve only reached the 56th Level of Qi Cultivation after cultivating for 12 years.”
Everyone was confused. Why were there so many levels?
The Eldest Senior Brother glanced at the Junior Brother. “You’ve only cultivated for an hour after completing your homework every day for 12 years. Master must have fed you countless spirit pills for you to reach this realm.”
The Junior Brother was a little embarrassed. “Can you not talk about the past? Academics are equally important. If you don’t go to school, you won’t get an education. If you don’t have an education, you can’t earn money. How can you cultivate if you don’t have money?”
Someone asked the two brothers, “Why do you have so many cultivation techniques?”
There were over 50 levels of Qi Cultivation.
The Eldest Senior Brother knew that this was his chance. His face was red, and his eyes were shining like an old wolf’s. “We cultivate the Mount Damao cultivation technique. There is a total of 81 levels in the Qi Cultivation stage. There are 49 levels in the Foundation Establishment stage. I have already reached the 72nd level of Qi Cultivation.”
As the Eldest Senior Brother was bragging, a huge change occurred on the battlefield. Three Epic-ranked Ants appeared.
Out of the three Epic-ranked Ants, one was an Ant Dragon, one was a Cannon Ant, and the last one was a Plasma Ant. The three Epic-ranked Ants led three different types of Ant Armies and charged toward the Soaring Cloud City. Countless Plasma Ants spewed plasma bombs and bombarded the armored city wall.
The wall was electrocuted. Numerous artillery shells were destroyed by the plasma. The Cannon Ant inserted its six limbs into the ground and stabilized its bodies. Then, they opened their mouths and aimed at the city wall. A moment later, countless green stone bombs were shot out of the mouths of countless Cannon Ants.
The stone bombs were covered in acidic liquid. This liquid, which was corrosive, exploded against the city wall. The terrifying acidic liquid immediately corroded the surface of the armored wall.
The commander was shocked. He had not expected the Ants to know this.
By then, Wei Huo had already killed his way into the enemy’s artillery formation. Wherever he went, Ants died mysteriously without exception.
No Ants chose to attack because they could not do so. As long as Wei Huo approached them, they would die in a bizarre manner.
The people on the city wall were shocked when they saw this scene. The battlefield was like a drawing board, and Wei Huo was like an eraser. As long as he walked into an area, all life in that area would be wiped out.
The three Epic-ranked Ants were terrified, but they did not sense a power that surpassed the Epic stage. Wei Huo was undoubtedly displaying the power of the Epic stage. However, they could not feel the aura of nirvanic extermination hidden underground.
The three Epic-ranked Ants could not hold it in anymore. “The three of us will attack together. I don’t believe he can fight against three enemies alone!”
