Chapter 277 The gap between Dou Sheng and Dou Zun
Guan Lei, the ancestor of the Guan family, is an existence whose strength has reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zun.

His strength is considered top-notch among all the Dou Zun in Zhongzhou.

However, Guan Lei, the ancestor of the Guan family, did not continue to practice after reaching the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zun.

The Nine Transformations of Dou Zun is not something he can achieve.

It is not true that a Dou Zun must go through nine transformations to break through to Dou Sheng.

It’s just that after the ninth transformation, the Dou Zun will be stronger after breaking through to the Dou Sheng.

But this does not mean that it is impossible to break through to the Dou Zun level without the Nine Transformations.

As long as there is enough energy, even a nine-star Dou Zun can actually break through to the Dou Sheng level.

It’s just that generally speaking, a Dou Zun who has gone through the Nine Transformations will have a smooth breakthrough to Dou Sheng, while those who break through directly will be stuck in the awkward position of Half Saint.

However, even if he is only a half-saint, his strength will be much stronger than that of a Dou Zun.

Therefore, apart from the eight ancient tribes, few people would take the path of the Nine Transformations.

They could not afford the huge support required for the Ninth Turn.

Guan Lei is one of the people who choose to take shortcuts.

Ever since he broke through the peak of Nine-Star Dou Zun, he has been preparing for the breakthrough to Semi-Saint.

Breaking through to the semi-saint level requires a lot of high-level resources, and so far he has basically gathered all of them.

All you need is a ninth-grade elixir as a trigger.

But the ninth-grade elixir is something that even the powerful Dou Shengs are eager to obtain.

He is just a peak Dou Zun, how can he get his hands on ninth-grade elixirs?

The strongest alchemist he could come into contact with was only of the eighth rank.

Even so, any eighth-grade alchemist was too arrogant to take him seriously.

Not to mention the more noble ninth-grade alchemist.

I'm afraid we won't even have the chance to meet.

So in order to obtain a ninth-grade elixir, Guan Lei established the Guan family in Zhichi City and opened a market in Zhichi City with the help of a space wormhole.

Almost all the treasures of the border states were collected.

Although the border states are extremely poor, they are sparsely populated, so even if you have treasures, no one will know about them.

By picking up bargains, the Kuchazi of the Guan family immediately swelled up.

And inside it, Guan Lei found a treasure that he thought was the most precious.

The remaining picture of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint was an existence that was infinitely close to the Dou Emperor tens of thousands of years ago. Legend has it that the Pure Lotus Demon Saint relied on the Pure Lotus Demon Fire to defeat all opponents on the continent.

It’s a pity that he was too invincible and couldn’t find an opponent, which caused some problems in his state of mind and he died on his own.

But it left behind a place where the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire was hidden.

Originally, when he obtained this incomplete map, he had thought about finding the Pure Lotus Demon Fire himself to use it to escape from the Douluo.

It’s a pity that there is no record of when this incomplete map was collected, and I don’t know which continent it was collected from.

As a result, the incomplete picture has always been incomplete.

According to the development of the original novel, Guan Lei should have taken the remaining map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire to the space trade fair to auction it because he had no other choice, and successfully exchanged it for a ninth-grade elixir.

However, due to Zhu Zhuqing's reasons, the situation on the mainland will change suddenly in the near future, so the space transaction will not be able to start at all.

So if she really went to the Space Trade Fair to wait, she would have lost her "fate" with this incomplete picture.

And it was precisely because of the attempt to forcibly connect this broken fate that Zhu Zhuqing's power of destiny was almost exhausted.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing originally didn't know the origin of this incomplete map, and the future situation of the mainland was no longer something Zhu Zhuqing understood.

Moreover, this incomplete map is also related to a peak Dou Sheng and a six-star Dou Sheng's strange fire. Therefore, the consumption of the continuation of fate will be greater.

Although Guan Lei didn't care much about the Guan family, in fact, the most basic reason for the Guan family's appearance was to find rare treasures for him.

But at least he is a son and a grandson.

The moment Guan Yu died, he received a telepathic connection.

Almost instantly he spread out his mental power. It would not matter if you didn't look at it, but once you looked at it you would instantly understand what was going on.

"Please spare my life, Saint!"

A flash of blood-red lightning appeared in the sky, and a middle-aged man with white hair and a red suit knelt directly in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

He had only heard of the power to change the rules of heaven and earth with a wave of his hand in legends.

Moreover, the Dou Zun ring behind him is no longer there. Isn't this a manifestation of taking all the power into himself?
Apart from the Fighting Saint, he couldn't think of anyone else who had such great power to change the established trajectory.

Fighting Saint, what a beautiful word! The realm he has been pursuing all his life actually appeared before him today.

Not to mention that he is just a son or grandson, even if he were asked to be a grandson, he would not be able to do it.

He didn't want to experience the terror of the Fighting Saint himself.

"Isn't that the Guan family's ancestor? Why is he kneeling? Brother, why are you kneeling too?"

“Nonsense, the Guan family’s ancestor is at the pinnacle of Dou Zun, and you didn’t hear him call himself a Dou Zun Saint. You can tell from that that he is a Dou Sheng!
If you don't kneel, do you want to stand?"

"What, Fighting Saint!?"

In the eyes of these ordinary people, Dou Huang is already a strong man, Dou Zong is even rarer, and Dou Zun is even rarer.

The Fighting Saint is someone that has only been heard of in legends.

But now they are fortunate enough to meet a fighting saint.

And he also has the protection of a fighting saint?

This can be said to be the greatest honor for ordinary people like them. Maybe they can even start a new page in their family tree when they go back.

Guan Lei knelt so thoroughly that Xiao Yixiang and Cai Lin were shocked.

According to the content of the vernacular novel, shouldn't this person be extremely furious and rush up to fight with the young master (Sister Zhuqing) for three days and three nights before being beaten to death?
How can you kneel so smoothly?

"The gap between Dou Zun and Dou Sheng is like a natural chasm, an insurmountable gap. If a Dou Sheng wants to kill a Dou Zun, he can do it with a slap, and the gap becomes wider in the later stages.

Even though he has reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zun, he can’t even take a finger from his sister, who has reached the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level.”

Gu Xun'er has been reading ancient books of the ancient clan for many years and has a clear understanding of the power gap in the later period.

In the early stages of practicing Dou Qi, you can fight against opponents of higher or higher levels, but in the later stages, forget about fighting against opponents of higher or higher levels.

Even if you fight in the early to mid-stage, you may not be able to win.

After hearing what Gu Xun'er said, Guan Lei became more convinced of Zhu Zhuqing's identity as a Dou Sheng, and he buried his head a little lower.

Looking at the trembling Guan Lei, Zhu Zhuqing had no interest in killing him.

He... is quite sensible.

And he had no intention of avenging his son and grandson.

Guan Lei just felt a chill all over his body, as if he couldn't see through anything inside or out, which made him even more frightened.

"Hand over the remaining map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, and I will spare your life!"

Zhu Zhuqing spoke slowly.

Guan Lei's pupils shrank suddenly, but without any hesitation, he took out a box with both hands and handed it up without even raising his head.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Guan Lei only felt his hands lighten, and then the world became quiet in an instant.
