Although Jian Chen had noticed the old man's strength, he did not reveal any expression on his face. He nodded his head silently and gave a soft 'en' before walking past the old man and walking down the corridor to the left.
When he reached the end of the corridor, Jian Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. He had already arrived in an extremely spacious room. The light here was extremely bright, no different from the daytime outside. In this room, there were many bookshelves neatly arranged with a large number of books. If the entire room was added up, there would be at least a thousand books.
Jian Chen raised his head to look at the ceiling. He knew that the reason why the light here was so bright was because of the ceiling. He didn't know what the ceiling was made of, but it actually emitted a gentle light. Although the light was strong, it wasn't blinding.
Although Jian Chen was extremely curious about the ceiling, he didn't waste any time on it. He walked to a bookshelf and carefully picked out a book that he needed the most.
The book contained a very clear description of the entire continent. It was not very thick, so Jian Chen used six hours to finish reading it. At the same time, he finally had a rough understanding of this foreign world.
This continent was called the continent of the Tian Yuan Continent. It was extremely vast and had countless countries of various sizes. Within the territories of these countries, there were all sorts of cities of different sizes. The largest of these cities were called capital cities, and each capital city was extremely large. The supreme ruler of these cities was the city lord, and they had millions or even tens of millions of city guards.
However, the Tian Yuan Continent only had a total of seven capital cities. They were occupied by the three most powerful empires. The Karl Empire and the Felicity Empire each controlled two capital cities, while the Holy Empire controlled three capital cities.
Below the Super Main Cities were the Royal Cities. However, the Royal Cities were much smaller than the Super Main Cities, and there were many more of them. Almost every Kingdom had at least one Royal City with a city guard of over a million. Below the Royal Cities were the Level 1 Cities with 800,000 city guards, the Level 2 Cities with 400,000 city guards, the Level 3 Cities with 200,000 city guards, and the Level 3 Cities with 100,000 city guards. Below the town were villages of different sizes. The guards were all formed by the village name, but the total number did not exceed 50,000. The strength and equipment they possessed were also much weaker.
Everyone on the Tian Yuan Continent cultivated a type of energy called Saint Force. When their Saint Force reached the 10th rank, it would condense into a Saint Weapon according to their master's thoughts. The Saint Weapon would take on all sorts of shapes, and the specific shape would be formed according to the master's thoughts.
Because Saint Weapons were formed from the Saint Force within a person's body, once a Saint Weapon was formed, it would be mentally connected to its master. For those with outstanding talent, the moment their Saint Weapons were formed, they would be infused with some elements. These elements were earth, wind, water, fire, light, and darkness. Light and darkness were extremely rare and powerful.
The light element possessed extremely powerful healing abilities. Those who possessed a light elemental Saint Weapon were known as the Unkillable on the Tian Yuan Continent. This was because once they were injured in battle, they would use their healing abilities to quickly recover. In a battle of the same level, it would be very difficult to kill them unless they were killed in one strike.
As for the dark element, it was extremely corrosive. Not only was it very troublesome to deal with, but it was also the most difficult type of person to deal with. Especially in the dark, they came and went without a trace. There was a title for the king of the night on the continent. The night was their world.
The other four attributes also had their own corresponding abilities. The strength of the abilities depended on one's own strength. Of course, on the Tian Yuan Continent, only one out of ten people had an attributed Saint Weapon, and most people did not have any attributes. In a battle of the same level, people with attributes were often much stronger than people without attributes.
Saint Weapons were everyone's most powerful weapons. In battle, they could summon the Saint Weapon from their bodies to assist their master in battle, allowing their master to display their strength. At the same time, Saint Weapons were also linked to their master's life. If the Saint Weapon suffered any major damage, it would cause some damage to the master. If the Saint Weapon broke, the master would also suffer a fatal blow. In serious cases, the master might even die.
However, Saint Weapons were extremely tough. Unless one's strength was several times stronger than the owner of the Saint Weapon, they would not be able to cause any damage to the Saint Weapon at all.
After the Saint Weapon was formed, the cultivation method in the future would also be to absorb the spiritual energy of the world to make the Saint Weapon stronger, thereby increasing one's own strength.
After forming a Saint Weapon, one would become a 'Saint'. On the Tian Yuan Continent, the strength of Saints was divided into nine levels. Saint, Great Saint, Saint Master, Great Saint Master, Earth Saint Master, Heaven Saint Master, Saint Ruler, Saint King, Saint Emperor. Each level was divided into three small levels, namely early stage, middle stage, and late stage.
On the Tian Yuan Continent, there was a huge mountain range that stretched across almost the entire continent. This mountain range was called the Magical Beast Mountain Range. There were countless magical beasts within, and the deeper one went, the stronger the magical beasts became.
Magical beasts were divided into nine classes. Class 1 Magical Beasts were equivalent to human Saints, while Class 2 Magical Beasts were equivalent to human Great Saints. Thus, Class 8 Magical Beasts were equivalent to human Saint Kings, while Class 9 Magical Beasts were equivalent to human Saint Emperors.
At the same time, there was another very popular occupation on the Tian Yuan Continent, which was mercenaries. According to the books, there were many mercenaries on the Tian Yuan Continent, almost all over the continent. These mercenaries usually relied on completing various missions to earn money, but most of them entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range to hunt magical beasts and obtain monster cores to earn money.
Although the risk was great, the profit was also great. Monster cores were extremely expensive on the Tian Yuan Continent, and the higher the grade of the monster core, the more expensive it was. Some of the higher grade monster cores were not even worth money.
Monster cores were something that almost everyone on the Tian Yuan Continent needed. Monster cores contained extremely pure and powerful energy, which could be absorbed directly to rapidly increase one's strength. It was several times faster than absorbing World Qi, but using monster cores to cultivate was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Other than this, Jian Chen had also learned from the books that this world was extremely cruel. There were fights everywhere, and it was even more dangerous than the world he had been in in his previous life. If one did not have great strength, it would be very difficult to survive in the outside world. Moreover, everyone cultivated on this continent, but there were many people with mediocre talent who could not reach the 10th layer of Saint Force in their entire lives to condense a Saint Weapon. If such people did not have any backing, they would usually live at the lowest level of society on the Tian Yuan Continent. They were like farmers in a poor village.
After reading through the information, Jian Chen finally had some understanding of this foreign world. Saint Weapons, elemental energy, magical beasts, monster cores, mercenaries, all of these were new to Jian Chen. At the same time, Jian Chen's heart began to surge with excitement. It was a yearning for the outside world. He wanted nothing more than to leave the Changyang clan immediately and wander outside to experience the outside world.
However, Jian Chen knew that it would be impossible for him to fulfill this wish in the next few years. Not to mention that his parents wouldn't allow a child who wasn't even three years old to go out adventuring, even if he really did go out, he wouldn't have the ability to protect himself.
P.S. Actually, sacred weapons are very similar to the natal dharma treasures of cultivators. You can understand it this way.
In the following period of time, Jian Chen worked even harder in his cultivation. Other than eating and doing some daily activities, he spent the rest of his time in his room cultivating. Right now, he had not completed the most basic part of the first stage of the Azulet Sword Law, so the World Qi that he had absorbed into his body had fused into every cell, organ, and limb of his body, strengthening every part of his body.
When his body reached the point where the World Qi could no longer strengthen him, Jian Chen would begin the second step, which was to officially cultivate his Qi. As a result, other than having a body that was far stronger than ordinary people, Jian Chen's dantian was empty, with not a single bit of Qi.
In his previous life, Jian Chen had only needed a year to complete the Azulet Sword Law. In this world, the World Qi was many times stronger than in his previous life, so although he had not completed it in two years, his body was definitely much stronger than in his previous life.
Jian Chen's parents didn't seem to find it strange that Jian Chen had been hiding in his room all day. This was because every child who had just turned two years old would be taught a basic breathing technique by their parents. Then, they would cultivate for a year, and when they turned three years old, they would take a Saint Energy test to assess their potential and talent. Similarly, when Jian Chen was two years old, his mother Bi Yuntian had also taught him the most basic breathing method. However, Jian Chen had thrown it to the back of his mind after thinking about it for a moment, because to him, Wu Ning was just a toy for an adult to play with.
As a result, Jian Chen had locked himself in his room all day. Others would think that Jian Chen was cultivating the breathing technique and would not suspect anything.
The next morning, Jian Chen finished his night of cultivation. Today was a special day for him because it was his third birthday. At the same time, he would be going through the Saint Energy test that every three year old child on the Tian Yuan Continent had to take.
After eating breakfast with his mother, Jian Chen followed his mother to the main hall of the Changyang clan.
The Changyang clan was extremely large. Even though Jian Chen lived in the area, it was only a small courtyard in the Changyang clan. As he walked, Jian Chen constantly looked at the Changyang clan. In the past three years, Jian Chen had spent most of his time cultivating in his room and rarely visited the Changyang clan.
Within the Changyang clan, groups of armored guards patrolled the various areas. Their bright eyes constantly scanned the hidden areas. Even though it was daytime, they did not relax at all.
When Jian Chen passed by a spacious training ground, he was attracted by the sounds of young people shouting. He saw dozens of children under the age of ten practicing martial arts under the guidance of a middle aged man.
Jian Chen knew that these children were all direct descendants of the Changyang clan. There were a total of a thousand people in the Changyang clan, and other than half of them being guards and servants, the other half were all direct descendants of the Changyang clan.
After passing through the training grounds, Jian Chen was led by his mother Bi Yuntian to the meeting hall in the center of the Changyang clan.
