Chapter 132: The progress bar is the greatest invention of gaming!

Chapter 132 – Progress Bar is the game’s greatest invention!
Zhou Xuan didn’t know about the conversation in Tai Hua Heaven, if he did, he would have smiled calmly.

According to this argument, not counting the Heavenly Thunder he had mastered, the Life and Death Rotating Pupil and the Yuan Qi peaks amongst the Life Springs, the Dao Seed Stage alone would be able to save his life under the Divine Body.

If this was all added up, it would be good to count him as a tie in the battle.

Good, now everyone is on the same level.

Then, when I enter the Dao Fruit stage, what should happen to these special physiques?
The Divine Body was very strong, Zhou Xuan naturally knew that, otherwise the production team wouldn’t have gotten so much content to allow players to frantically raise their battle power in the early stages.

Wasn’t it just to fuck up the Divine Body during the Martial Election?

When Zhou Xuan entered the Dao Seed stage, he once again climbed upwards and looked upwards.

Looking up from here, the top of the tree could already be clearly seen.

In other words, he should be able to enter the top of the Enlightenment Tree as soon as he devoured another Dao Fruit, becoming the true first in the literature instead of just the first in the literature of the Enlightenment Ranking right now.

Both were number one, but their meanings were completely different.

And at this moment, all eyes were on Zhou Xuan.

They carried expectations in their hearts, having already reached the Dao Seed stage, perhaps this was not Zhou Xuan’s limit.

In past history, there hadn’t been a demon with such an unbelievable level of enlightenment, and they didn’t want to miss a single second.

Even if Zhou Xuan had been stuck at the Dao Seed stage, who knew if the other party would suddenly break through at some subsequent moment?
This kind of moment to witness history, no one wanted to miss it.

When Zhou Xuan arrived in front of the second Dao Fruit, this Dao Fruit was plain and ordinary, with only the word “thunder” tattooed on its body.

After sizing it up for a moment, Zhou Xuan did not hesitate and directly entered the world of the second Dao Fruit. He had thought that it was still the person who had mastered the Dao of Thunder in Tai Hua Heaven who would oversee this Dao Fruit World.

As a result, when he entered, there were no living creatures.

However, the scene before him occupied Zhou Xuan’s vision.

What met his eyes was a long flight of steps, and at each step, electric arcs flickered.

Even if one was far away, one could feel that if one were to get close to this, even if one was only caught in the aftermath, one would be turned into a charred corpse in an instant.

Slightly scanning, Zhou Xuan did not need to count, his heart realized that this ladder in front of him had a total of 3,000 levels, and as long as he could walk through these 3,000 levels, it would mean that he had entered the Dao Fruit stage.

Upon reaching the Dao Fruit stage, he would be able to directly enter the top of the tree and become the first in the literary selection.

So what are we waiting for?
Zhou Xuan had no second thoughts and came to the front of the steps.

Before he could even put a foot on it, he heard crackling sounds coming from all around him, and there were countless arcs of electricity around him, emanating a static sound under a sudden touch.

Zhou Xuan felt something wrong in his heart.

And when he stepped onto the first step without hesitation, he finally realized what was wrong.

His body was covered in arcs of electricity, his entire body was wrapped in lightning, and that tingling sensation with pain caused him to grimace.

Fuck!
Previously, no matter if it was a Dharma Fruit or an Intent Fruit, even if he was fighting with a giant beast, that death was an instantaneous matter, as if it was a nightmare, being killed by a giant beast would only be a shock to his body, and then he woke up.

Even if it was just at the Dao Seed stage, it was still being cleaved to ashes by the Nine Tribulation Thunder, and after waking up, there was no feeling whatsoever.

But at this moment, this Dao Fruit World, did not have the ability to instantly kill a cultivator, but that timeless thunder and lightning, tormenting the body, that kind of pain of lightning all over the body, was so real and not false.

“It seems like the production group doesn’t want players to enter the Dao Fruit stage at all.”

According to his speculation, if one could enter the Dao Fruit Stage from the Dao Seed Stage, even if they weren’t of a special physique, they would basically be able to kill indiscriminately in the Martial Election, right?

And that was the malice from the production group.

As a player in modern life, how could one endure pain after being comfortable for too long?

Thinking about this, Zhou Xuan grinned, “It’s a good thing that I’ve played so many games that I’ve long gotten used to the pain, or else I wouldn’t have let you guys have your way.”

He had endured it when he first crossed the Heavenly Heavens, and he was still afraid of you for this.

However, Zhou Xuan also knows that the pain of the heavenly tribulation, that is to come for a while to rest for a while, but in front of the “ladder to heaven”, obviously is continuous, betting on the player can not hold out, and then give up.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan also knows that even if an ordinary cultivator has a high level of enlightenment, it is impossible for him to enter the Dao Fruit stage at the Foundation Establishment realm.

Because one had to resist this constant feeling of pain, and also quieten their mind to comprehend the Dao Intent, was this something that one could withstand?
But Zhou Xuan did not panic, the Dao Intent did not need him to comprehend it, leaving it to the Foundation of the Great Dao would be the end of the matter.

And his task was simple, he just had to be able to withstand this continuous feeling of pain and wait for the Foundation of the Great Dao to feed him rice in his mouth.

It was simple to say, but it did hurt a bit.

And Zhou Xuan’s face that couldn’t stop twitching in pain was exposed to everyone’s eyes.

“Hiss, so that’s how it is… This final stage of Dao Fruit, one has to endure the unbearable pain first, and only after adapting to it, can one comprehend it meditatively…”

“This comprehending the Dao Fruit is also too difficult!”

“I knew that this final Dao Fruit stage must be as difficult as climbing up to heaven.”

“It seems like Zhou Xuan should have stopped at the Dao Seed stage.”

When Zhou Xuan stepped onto the first step, countless people took a look and realized the difficulty of this Heaven Ascending Staircase.

They did not ridicule Zhou Xuan, it was just that most of them thought in their hearts that Zhou Xuan should be stopping here.

This was because this Dao Fruit stage was clearly not of the same difficulty as the other stages.

No one could meditate and comprehend under the constant pain, plus Zhou Xuan was still a teenager, how could he endure?
“The Dao Seed stage is actually enough.” The Violet Sun Holy Lord exhaled, he also felt that Zhou Xuan should not be able to break through, but even so, Zhou Xuan had gained his approval.

After all, reaching the Dao Seed stage was already unprecedented, and no one would be harsh on Zhou Xuan anymore.

Instead, it was many cultivators of the Questioning Realm who looked at Zhou Xuan with envious faces.

The Dao Enlightenment Realm was indeed a great opportunity, and every time they cultivated as Questioning Realm, they wanted to grab that ethereal Dao Intent, but every time, they came up short by so much, as if they had a flash of aura and reached out to grab an empty hand.

That’s why they were envious of these Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who entered the Realm of Enlightenment and were able to comprehend the Dao Intent with the help of the Tree of Enlightenment.

Zhou Xuan, in particular, had reached the Dao Seed stage, and had stepped into the Dao Fruit world of the “Stairway to Heaven”, and as long as he ascended to the end of the Long Stairs, he could enter the Dao Fruit stage, which was a very clear path.

This was a very clear path. It was much clearer than their boring meditation and cultivation.

Some of the Questioning Realms harbored ill will, not wishing Zhou Xuan to succeed.

There were also those who saw that Zhou Xuan had come this far, and they were indeed eager to see if Zhou Xuan could write a colorful entry in history.

Not being able to become history, but being in the same era as the writers of history, they were naturally honored.

Regardless of what the people outside thought, Zhou Xuan stopped at the first step and did not move a muscle.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Xuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath, and the crackling sound of intertwining thunder and lightning rang out.

The next moment, in everyone’s eyes, Zhou Xuan lifted his knees with great difficulty.

Snap!
After this teenager’s foot heavily stepped on top of the second step with a crisp sound, for some reason, countless people subconsciously cheered.

The Violet Sun Holy Land in particular was plunged into a sea of cheers.

“Senior Brother Zhou! Charge!”

“Senior Brother Zhou hasn’t given up yet.” “Senior Brother Zhou, very human!”

“Unbelievable, in such a situation, to still be able to comprehend the Dao Intent… Previously, I only thought that Senior Brother Zhou’s enlightenment was astounding, but I didn’t realize that his perseverance was equally amazing.”

They didn’t know how painful it was for that lightning to jump over their bodies, but they could imagine that it wouldn’t be easy.

And as Zhou Xuan stepped onto the second rung of the ladder, thunder and lightning exploded in his ears.

It was as if his body was paralyzed, and he actually fell straight back.

Shit.

Zhou Xuan climbed up from the ground, as the pain was gone, he was relaxed, but the tingling sensation on his body, as if it was still there, made his entire body a little bit sheepish.

He rubbed his chin, “It seems like there is still a need to adapt a bit more on top of the first level.”

Without a second thought, Zhou Xuan directly stepped onto the first step again.

“Oh?” Seeing this, the Emperor could not help but nod his head, “This son’s heart is indeed tough.”

“Indeed, the average person would become fearful after feeling that pain, both mentally and physically, after it subsides, this Zhou Xuan unexpectedly continues without hesitation, indeed perseverance is resilient.”

Right now, the crowd of Tai Hua Heaven were also paying attention to Zhou Xuan, after all, since the Tong Tian Grand Election had been held, Zhou Xuan was the first Foundation Establishment Cultivator to enter the Dao Seed stage, unprecedented.

With this situation, they naturally looked sideways.

It was like a horse race, with a quality stallion running first, people would normally focus on the first place.

Especially if this steed was the one that had almost thrown the other horses out of sight, looking at the other steeds would naturally be tasteless.

And as time passed, they then saw this Zhou Xuan, after stepping back onto the steps, standing on the first step with his eyes closed, not moving a muscle.

This stand was a day’s worth of time.

Zhou Xuan had a set of methods to alleviate the problem of pain.

As for what method, it was naturally a distraction.

This method was something he discovered when he was in middle school, when he was punished by his teacher for running ten laps of the playground, how could he run four thousand meters at that time?
At the halfway point of running, he was exhausted.

His mind then started to think of random thoughts, what kind of food to eat at night, what kind of game to play at home, thinking about it, and as a result, the four thousand meters were finished, which made him a little confused.

Later, he learned that this method of attention diversion generally helps individuals, to free themselves from negative or uncomfortable emotional states and divert them to more positive aspects.

It turned out to be used by him to divert physical fatigue.

Standing on the first step at this point, he realized that the experiment came down to no effect at all, leaving him speechless.

The main thing was that this pain was present all the time, and it really couldn’t be diverted.

Just as well, isn’t it just endurance? Although he was no match for Turtle Man, his endurance was not to be underestimated.

Anyway, he didn’t need to comprehend the Taoist Intentions, just leave it all to the Foundation of the Great Dao, he just needed to adapt to the pain.

On the second day, Zhou Xuan directly stepped onto the second step, and this time it was as if his body had adapted without that stiffness.

After staying in place for a while, Zhou Xuan once again moved up a step.

Ka-ching…

Thunder and lightning roared around him, and the enormous arcs of electricity, like countless electric snakes, coursed through his entire body.

After enduring it, Zhou Xuan took a deep breath, and his entire body would still twitch from time to time.

Just this?

It was not enough!

Zhou Xuan knew that the Dao Fruit World was mainly about comprehending the Dao Intent, and this so-called pain test was actually a link used to disturb the mind.

But it was fine, because there was no need for him to comprehend the Dao Intent, the Foundation of the Great Dao of the Life Spring Seed was helping him to comprehend it all the time.

Of course, the most important thing was that this Dao Fruit World’s Ascension Ladder didn’t have the pain increase by one level with each step, which made him relieved.

Dao Seed Stage: 1%
Should I rush a wave?
Zhou Xuan knew that the higher the steps he went up, the faster the Dao Intent that the Dao Foundation comprehended.

The current him could actually tolerate the feeling of pain.

Thinking about this, Zhou Xuan clenched his teeth, and this time, he lifted his leg, then in front of everyone’s dumbfounded gazes, he directly made a dash upwards.

Along the way, Zhou Xuan should have been grimacing and grimacing, but he knew that there must be countless gazes watching him.

He had to maintain the demeanor of an expert and not lose his decorum, how was this not a kind of manifestation of sainthood in front of people?
When he ran to the hundredth step, he stiffened, his entire body unable to move.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan, his entire person seemed to be a being born out of lightning, his entire body was covered in lightning, and that nuisance and crackling sound was unbroken.

Hiss.

I day you mom!

Zhou Xuan cursed silently in pain, what maintaining an expert demeanor did not exist at this moment, even though he was at the Dao Seed Stage, this lightning still caused him to twitch in pain.

Dao Seed Stage: 5%
Eh?
Just as Zhou Xuan was about to hold back his fall, he glanced at the progress bar and couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised.

5% so soon?
At this moment, Zhou Xuan, who was about to hold on for dear life, felt that he could do it again.

So, the progress bar was the greatest invention in the gaming world ah!

Thinking about this, Zhou Xuan felt as if he was in control of his body again as he took another step upwards.

Snap!
This heavy step seemed to step on the hearts of countless cultivators.

At this moment, everyone did not speak as they gazed at Zhou Xuan, wanting to see if the other party could keep moving upwards.

Words of praise and awe had long been insufficient to speak of the admiration in their hearts.

“Is this the intention to rush to the top in one breath, then forcefully endure before beginning to comprehend the Dao Intent?” The Emperor instantly saw through the thoughts in Zhou Xuan’s mind and couldn’t help but nod his head, “This is indeed a method.”

“Generally speaking, going up one level at a time is the best method. One can comprehend the Dao Intent while doing so, and when the Dao Intent is comprehended deeply, the pain can be reduced, and the two go hand in hand.”

“This method of Zhou Xuan’s is too extreme.”

However, this person did not know why Zhou Xuan was fighting so hard.

It wasn’t to get to the Dao Fruit Stage earlier and then see if he could go to the Intentional Fruit Stage and harass the progress of those Sacred Bodies and Divine Bodies.

If he really could, then with this and that, the Martial Selection Stage would be at his mercy.

Even, Zhou Xuan pondered if he could continue to comprehend other Dao Intentions after the Thunder One Dao was perfected.
For the sake of damaging others and becoming stronger, to Zhou Xuan, the pain in the area was nothing.

The thought of his Thunder One Dao entering the Dao Fruit stage, even if he could not continue to comprehend other Dao Intentions, but at least he could go and wreak havoc, Zhou Xuan was all excited.

“Adapt a bit more, and continue charging later!”
