Chapter 580 Phaseless Qi Machine
Hua Era, one hundred years.
Thirty-five years have passed since the first spaceship sailed on a long voyage, twenty-two years have passed since the first artificial spiritual root appeared, and three years have passed since all human beings have reached the level of cultivation in the true sense.
This year, the first year of the Hua Era, the number of monks has reached five billion. Although the number of humans has decreased by nearly half in the past hundred years, this is an inevitable decline brought about by social development.
In this era, a person, a powerful person whose strength is still unknown in the spiritual world has been worshiped by countless people.
He changed the social structure of society and got rid of the almost closed-minded trend of thought that was caused by the spiritual prosperity of the world. Everyone believes that there is no need for interstellar navigation, even if the law of space gives them the ability to travel freely back and forth within thousands of light years.
Even the powerful individual brought about by spiritual practice is enough for the human body to stand in the universe.
Even if interstellar colonization does not only exist on paper, but also has an actual technical foundation.
Even if the unified government approves the project, a long-lasting interstellar fleet can be completed within five years.
But in the past 100 years, the so-called interstellar voyage has almost disappeared from mainstream discourse, and all literary works have lost their imagination of the universe.
Rather, with a higher attitude than the universe, human beings do not think that the universe needs to be explored.
This is understandable, desires often come from material things. When the material available in the universe is sufficient, then there will naturally be no outward desire.
This is a kind of inertia.
As living beings exist, so do heaven and earth.
But spiritual resources are scarce, and spiritual stones, spiritual pills, elixirs, medicines, techniques, and everything else are difficult for ordinary people to obtain.
In order to break the isolation of the country, Emperor Mian separated part of himself and turned it into a tentacle of heaven and earth, covering this vast world.
Those without form are all heaven and earth.
The struggle that is carried out is also for heaven and earth.
Di Mian was basking in the sun tiredly, and there were a few strands of silver light in his hair.
A reporter sat in front of him with respect, using the most advanced holographic video recorder to record the conversation.
"Mr. Emperor, what kind of mentality do you have in donating room temperature superconducting technology and artificial spiritual root technology for free? These two technologies have brought unprecedented changes to mankind and have truly enabled everyone to practice. Your achievements are enough Canonized, comparable to the legendary immortals.”
"I'm just borrowing flowers from the Buddha." Di Mian shook his head and said, "The Changchun Gong is more wonderful than you think."
The reporter thought it was modesty and said: "You are too modest. There is only one ten thousandth of the Changchun function. But your artificial spiritual root allows everyone to practice. In the past, practicing Qi before the age of ten was a genius. Now, They have all been implanted with artificial spiritual roots."
Di Mian just smiled and shook his head when he heard this. He didn't bother to explain too much. This conversation was just a boring and interesting thing.
If it is just for showing off, it would be a bit of a loss of status.
Besides, what he said is true.
Artificial spiritual roots are based on the method of Changchun Gong, which cuts off the original endless upper limit in exchange for a low lower limit.
Those who begin to implant artificial spiritual roots at a young age, and those who do not want to succeed through their own efforts, will eventually become nothing.
You will never be able to break through the golden elixir throughout your life.
If you practice the Changchun Gong conscientiously, you will definitely be able to break through in the end. The golden elixir is just around the corner, and the Nascent Soul is not impossible.
It is possible all the way up to the Holy King.
They are just fuel, the fuel that drives society forward and the fuel that naturally causes the struggle of all living beings.
Di Mian didn't bother to trick them, so he informed everyone at first.
The upper limit of artificial spiritual roots being weakened.
Di Mian asked: "Do you think I am comparable to an immortal?"
The reporter praised without concealment: "I think you have surpassed the immortals. Even if you stand on the shoulders of giants, you are already better than the blue."
"hehe…"
Di Mian chuckled a few times, seemingly happy, but more like mockery.
He remembered the era when he had just come back, when everyone's worship of immortals was endless. This is also the result of the joint construction of the three forces of the Unified Government, Immortal Palace, and Tao Realm, and it is absolutely correct.
Because the spiritual veins are in their hands.
Is there anything wrong with such an extreme personality cult?
From the perspective of the development of human society, it is in line with human nature, but not in line with rationality. But the immortal basically doesn't show up, so there won't be any harm.
Overall, the worship of immortals has no harm at all.
The worship of his character can suppress personal authoritarianism.
Asgard has a plan.
Every practicing genius will receive the imprint of a certain kind of thought overtly or covertly, and the education prepared by the government from birth will tell the moral character of the immortal. After entering the practice, the Taoist realm starting with Shangqing Palace and Beidou Immortal Palace will tell you the nobility of immortals.
The Immortal Boat Fleet is even more extreme, similar to a death warrior.
It's all the kindness of immortals, just like the patriotic education in the old era, but it's biased toward individuals.
This kind of behavior can easily lead to rebellion, and many teenagers will slander the immortals and show off their independence in this way. But without exception, after entering society, they will feel ashamed of their past words and deeds.
Because the kindness is real, not through false, didactic, and unreasonable oppression inherent in feudal ethics.
The Tao and Dharma they practice all come from one person.
And he never took a cent from the world.
Di Mian knew that the human race in the previous life had conquered the sky, so he wanted to break this kindness.
This will be an interesting process.
Di Mian sensed that several monks from the Urban Management Department were approaching, but they did not enter his villa. Obviously, the target was not him.
Li Changsheng and his juniors are not stupid enough to make themselves targets.
It should be this reporter and the cosmology movement he promotes.
“It’s time to end the interview.”
“Is this the end?” The reporter felt a little regretful, but did not dwell on it and quickly packed up his things.
Before leaving, he asked: “Can I ask you one last question?”
"ask."
"Today's society is divided on whether to carry out large-scale interstellar colonization. After all, although there are spiritual veins in the outside world, there are still many dangers. Moreover, our home planet is in motion all the time. Once it is separated, I am afraid it will Can't come back either.
Every person who leaves their home planet will be a spark of civilization. Will he become a villain who returns with a knife in the future? "
The reporter asked the most pointed question now.
Will those humans who are separated from their mothers come back as robbers in the future?
Blue Star is the center of heaven and earth, with endless spiritual veins. No matter how great the external opportunities are, they cannot compare to Blue Star.
Will these people come back and invade Blue Star after thousands of years?
Di Mian smiled and replied: "Struggle is natural, and only through struggle can we make progress. If the children who go out to seek growth end up defeating us, then we should give up our position."
“Besides, it will be a long, long time later. At least at this stage, we cannot imprison other people’s ideals. The so-called innocence is beyond doubt.”
"I see."
The reporter smiled happily and said goodbye. As soon as he left the villa, he was taken away by several monks for investigation.
————————
boom!
The person in charge of the interrogation slammed the table and stared at the reporter in front of him. The formations all over the room were spying on the other person's soul, almost eliminating the possibility of lying.
But because of the Personal Privacy Act.
For non-criminal crimes, only lie detection can be used, but it cannot directly analyze the other party's thoughts.
“Tell me, for what purpose did you write these things? Who instructed you?”
The reporter said with a solemn face: "No one can stop me. I am doing it for justice. Everyone has the right to pursue the extraordinary."
“What nonsense is this fair? The artificial spiritual root on your body, the spiritual stone in your pocket, and the amulet around your neck, none of them belong to the Immortal Palace? They do not belong to the government.”
The interrogator retorted.
The reporter asked: "Sir, if I want a foundation-building pill, what is needed to break through the foundation-building pill?"
“Three hundred thousand.”
When the reporter just shook his head and didn't say anything, the interrogator turned around and said, "Are you trying to say that you can't afford it? Or that normal people can't afford it with their wages? Based on the current salary level in big cities, the minimum salary per month is 13,000. The cost of living is five thousand, and a foundation-building pill takes thirty years."
“But this is the minimum wage. The society provides other high-paying remuneration. Generally speaking, it only takes a few years to suffice.”
The reporter said: "But most high-paying jobs require a certain level of cultivation. What about us ordinary people? Without artificial spiritual roots, we would not even be able to reach the threshold of these high-paying jobs. Many times, perhaps in the past few years, let A practitioner with a commoner background has missed the best time."
The interrogator said: "The government has loans, and the interest is a bit high, but everything has a price."
“In that case, why would someone get resources for free? Because of their talent, because of their background.”
The reporter is like an angry young man venting his anger on the Internet. His words are radical and illogical, but for some reason his eyes are as sharp as a falcon.
Waiting for the opponent to reveal a flaw before posting it on the Internet.
The interrogator said of course: "There are differences in the world, and there is never absolute fairness. People are always different because of various opportunities. Today's society is already very fair. At least if you have talent, it will not be buried."
“How are you?”
“Yes, we cannot smooth out the differences in the world, but why are we not allowed to go to the universe to pursue opportunities? Why do the government and the Immortal Palace try their best to stop it?”
"What are you afraid of?" The interrogator pursed his lips. He was also confused, but did not answer the question directly, saying: "Is it possible? Not everyone wants to be otherworldly. Many people prefer to take a break. Life from ten to four in the morning?”
“Please don’t let the insularity and complacency corrupt us.”
The interrogation was spent with words from both sides holding guns and sticks. Due to legal reasons, the reporter was released after being detained for twelve hours.
Today’s interview was subsequently posted online.
He is an important propagandist for the Universe Faction.
The reporter looked at the screen with joy, expecting an overwhelming amount of support. Every time he made a different voice, he always received countless support on the Internet.
This time, half an hour passed without any reply.
“How is it possible? This is impossible.”
The reporter published another article and changed the platform four or five times in a row, but still couldn't make any waves.
He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to others, but received no reply.
It feels like I am being excluded from the Internet.
There is a madman on the street.
In the first hundred years, the cosmic faction was only a small minority, and there were factions that liked to cause trouble.
They are like the first people to jump out and proclaim themselves emperors when dynasties change in ancient times. They are stupid and ignorant, and they will inevitably face the full force of the old order. But what they faced was not the end of the dynasty, but a giant behemoth at its peak.
A giant with sound limbs, clear mind, distant vision, and in the prime of life.
Xiao Yuntian looked at the list on the table, tapping his fingertips lightly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
He wanted to kill them all, but this was going too far and there was no need to do so.
“Blue Star will be a gentle place for everyone, but please remember, don’t leave.”
Hua Era, one hundred and fifty-three years ago, in order to capture the phaseless air machine far behind the starry sky, a spaceport for the Xianzhou Fleet began to be established in low-Earth orbit.
In the Chinese era, two hundred years later, the space port was built.
In the 330th year of the Hua Era, the Buddha Immortal Boat sailed on a long voyage. It was expected to move long distances through space methods and reach a galaxy a thousand light years away.
The entire voyage is expected to take one hundred and twenty years.
In the 420th year of the Hua Dynasty, the pagoda fairy boat sent back a message.
【Here is the Futu Immortal Boat Fleet, which successfully captured the phaseless air machine. It is so beautiful, just like a star. 】
【It’s incredible, this is a treasure beyond common sense! We are just in contact, and the cultivation level of the fleet has risen to a great level. 】
【And our realm continues to grow】
The news came back, and the entire Blue Star was shaken.
In the 450th year of the Chinese Era, the Buddha Immortal Boat returned successfully.
That day, cheers resounded throughout the sky.
The Immortal Palace then invited all monks above Nascent Soul to comprehend together, in order to put an end to everyone's desire to move.
Hua Era, 560 years, the second expedition began.
This time the scale is bigger and there are more people.
Because the first batch of local practitioners have basically become gods, and the next step is to attain the Tao, that is, to become the Holy King.
The Immortal Palace is aware of this huge group of new gods, and their belief in the immortals is not as firm as the heavenly beings.
It is better to block than to open up.
The Immortal will definitely not allow them to engage in massacre.
————————
Shenzhou, Yucheng.
Five hundred years have passed. Human beings have already built cities in low-Earth orbit, and the scenes in science fiction works of the past have been realized, but the cities have not changed much.
It just changed from economical type to comfortable type.
Many people are living in what people called single-family villas hundreds of years ago, and there are many spaceships in the sky.
Because people have not changed much, and their material needs have not changed either.
Today is the funeral of Zhao Si’s wife. He personally buried his wife next to his daughter’s cemetery. If you continue to look to the right, you can see the graves of his parents.
He is the only one left in his family.
But Zhao Si did not feel too sad because he had already prepared.
Covering the last layer of soil, he looked at Lu Haochu and asked, "Is there any smoke?"
He hasn’t smoked for many years.
Lu Haochu, who has transformed into a god, took out an electronic cigarette and said: "Smoking is harmful to health, and tobacco was eliminated a hundred years ago. This one can secrete dopamine through biological electric shock, and perfectly realize the taste of tobacco."
Zhao Si complained: "Damn it, everything needs to be made technological, right? And I'm a gold elixir cultivator, so this thing can be used as a hammer."
Although he cursed a lot, he still took a few strong puffs and squatted in front of the grave to puff away the smoke.
At this time, an ordinary man walked away holding a bamboo umbrella and a basket of fruits in his hand. He came and lit some incense.
He asked: "Xiaosi, how are you feeling? Well... your condition should be fine."
“Brother Yi, this kind of suffering should only happen once, right?” Zhao Si raised his head and asked.
He looked at the young man's unchanged face and the understatement in his brows, as if nothing could move the young man.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "And my parents."
Zhao Si fell silent immediately. These two were the only elders left after their parents died.
“Uncle Li and Auntie have Brother Yi and you should live longer than me.”
"They are not suitable for cultivation, and they will probably end up as Yuanying in the end. I will not force it. Just like back then, I did not agree to extend the life of Kongkong. I will let them live longer than the Transformation God, but that's all. Xiaosi, you If you survive this calamity, you should live longer than them."
Li Yi said, the expression on Zhao Si's face became even more bitter.
He said as if complaining, but also as if he was remorseful: "Brother Yi, if only you had been tougher at that time. My fault, I forced myself to leave something blank for my own selfish desires."
Zhao Kongkong, his daughter.
She is not suitable for cultivation, only for being a mortal. After living for five hundred years and having friends, marriages, and children, he finally committed suicide because he couldn't bear the pain of eternal life.
To be precise, he was stopped by Li Yi and euthanized after obtaining his consent.
Li Yiru said five hundred years ago that he will be a qualified big brother, but not everything will be what Zhao Si wants.
The meaning of life does not lie in its length. Everyone has an end point, and forcing someone to stay will only hurt their loved ones.
So this time Zhao Si simply let his wife die.
"It's human nature." Lu Haochu consoled him, "It takes more courage to let go. My old man also scolded me before he died."
Zhao Si nodded, and the bitterness on his face quickly disappeared. This was not a sign of forbearance, but a sign of transparency after great enlightenment.
Lu Haochu looked at Li Yi and hesitated to speak. Before he could say anything, the other party seemed to know what he was going to say.
“The Wuxiang Qi Machine can indeed allow you to achieve enlightenment, but it will also cut off the path to enlightenment. Everything has two sides, and taking shortcuts must come at a cost. If you think it doesn’t matter and don’t seek enlightenment, you can give it a try.”
Lu Haochu bowed his hands and said: "But private exploration is not allowed in the Immortal Palace. Immortal boats and magic weapons that can operate the magic of space are strictly controlled."
Monks can use the Space Law to adjust the distance at will, but the Space Law is not available to everyone.
He is now an incarnate god, but on the scale of the universe, it may take thousands of years to travel.
Li Yi replied: "The road travels alone, or wait a hundred years, and then Yinghuo will be squeezed into a cave. Xiaoqi and the others are actually okay, and they have not done too much, but after all, they cannot stop the enterprising spirit of all living beings. .”
“Soon, people will no longer be satisfied with relying on the qi brought back by the immortal boat. They are still too young to fight against Wu.”
As long as the matter does not exceed the limit, Li Yi does not want to care about it. He is already used to it.
As for the imperial crown.
For him, it should be the simplest formlessness, and the other party is very self-aware and does not intend to fight him head-on.
Hundred years later…
Lu Haochu wrote down this message.
A few years later, he found someone.
Black Jade True Monarch, a great power who was promoted to Holy King after reincarnation, is also a rare space power in the world.
The little black man weighed the other party's reward in his hand and nodded readily in agreement.
“Okay, you can use the money to do things, but I think you should stay and listen to the sermons of the immortals. Maybe it will be faster than finding the phaseless qi machine.”
Lu Haochu smiled bitterly: "This is already my limit."
The Immortal is never stingy, but rarely shows favoritism, and prefers to let nature take its course.
Lu Haochu has been exposed to too much light, which is why he has achieved today's cultivation level. Now that he wants to go further, he can only rely on himself.
