Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 602 Changed the human world (Part )

The "Hunyuan Box" is a treasure that was kept in the inner treasury of the Daqi royal family in the past.

It is made of hibiscus wood and contains the Hunyuan Qi from the edge of the world. It has the magical function of helping people travel through time and space.

Previously, Su Xiao's desire to win the first place in the "Luoshui Conference" was because he hoped to obtain the "Hunyuan Box" and use it to go back to the past and explore the truth behind his father's death.

After a while, Han Shunxi held the "Hunyuan Box" and handed it to Gu Xu respectfully.

The wooden box is about the size of a palm, with a smooth and warm texture. Its surface is carved with chaotic lines, which combine to form complex and mysterious patterns, as if it contains endless mysteries.

For ordinary monks, Hunyuan Qi is extremely dangerous.

If they are a little careless, a trace of Hunyuan Qi may cut their bodies into countless pieces and scatter them in different worlds - some may even stay in the present, and some may be thrown into the past or future.

But after Gu Xu was promoted to a strong saint, several of his powers were significantly improved, which allowed him to use these Hunyuan Qi with ease.

Under everyone's gaze, Gu Xu slowly opened the hibiscus wooden box.

The cells in her body instantly became excited, sucking in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the light ball.

But unexpectedly, when her fingers touched the surface of the light ball, she did not feel any obstruction - it was as if she passed through the air and easily penetrated into the inside of the light ball.

He knew the experiment had been a success.

After a moment, a palm-sized milky white ball of light slowly rose from the formation. It was like a translucent bubble, floating lightly into the air, and then suspended there quietly, motionless.

But Gu Xu waved his hand gently.

"I have already been to the 'Guixu' of the East China Sea once before, so you don't need to worry too much," he said, "What's more, bringing back a large amount of Hunyuan Qi from the East China Sea requires extremely high control over the laws of space. .

"——You don't need to persuade me anymore," he said with a calm smile, "To be honest, I am more afraid of death than you think. I used to get up early and practice hard every day, just to avoid being killed by the Lord of Hell before I am thirty years old. take away.

Her expression was slightly nervous, whether because she was worried about being injured by the fog or because she was afraid of popping the dreamlike bubble that reflected the sun's rays.

Gu Xu returned to the study room of Jiangyun Palace.

The currently constructed "spiritual energy barrier" cannot accommodate even one cultivator, let alone extend it to the entire wilderness to help all cultivators practice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Gu Xu glanced at everyone calmly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face:

"In a few days, I will go to the East China Sea myself!"

Under the constraints of the authority of "Qiankun", the gray-white mist did not spread everywhere, but lingered obediently in Gu Xu's hand, like a docile pet.

"But -" Xiao Wanjun wanted to say more, but was interrupted softly by Gu Xu.

Wang Jian also said quickly: "Your Majesty, this must not be done. Luo Jing still needs you to sit in charge and take charge of the overall situation of the world. Such dangerous matters should be handled by us ministers, and you do not need to be personally involved in the danger."

They all know that Hunyuan Qi only exists at the edge of the world, where dangers are everywhere, and even a strong saint may die.

"Since the monks in the wilderness need me, it is my duty to shoulder this important responsibility."

Hearing Gu Xu's words, several people around looked at each other and chose silence.

Chen Suhui took two steps forward, carefully stretched out a pale and slender finger, ready to touch the ball of light.

Hearing his words, everyone around him couldn't help but look shocked.

But just after taking a few steps, he turned back and said in a gentle tone: "It's been really hard on you these days. Everyone, please go back and have a good rest. Han Shunxi, don't forget the rewards for you."

It is even more difficult and dangerous to bring back a large amount of Hunyuan Qi from there.

The eunuch Han Shunxi immediately bowed to dissuade him and said: "Your Majesty, you are rich in gold, how can you be easily involved in danger? If your Majesty makes a mistake, what will the people of the world do?"

“Now, this formation that can transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the only hope of life in the wilderness.

…………

Wang Jian stood there, staring blankly at the young king's leaving figure, with a particularly complicated mood.

Seeing the change of expression on Chen Suhui's face, a satisfied smile appeared on Gu Xu's face.

However, not long after, his brows couldn't help but frown again.

“However, the situation is now grim. Taishang Haotian from the upper realm is eyeing the wilderness and may build a new space channel at any time to launch a new round of invasion into the wilderness.

“Looking at the entire wilderness, when it comes to the way of space, I am afraid that no one can compare with me.

"Su Hui, go and try it!" Gu Xu ordered calmly.

Xiao Wanjun hesitated for a moment and wanted to dissuade him.

When Gu Xu gently flipped his palm, the mist seemed to be given life, turning into jumping fish, jumping happily into the formation on the ground, quickly integrating with the flashing light.

His fingers gently penetrated the wooden box and pulled out strands of gray-white mist.

The longer he followed Gu Xu, the more he felt as if he had been kicked in the head by a donkey when he had served Emperor Tianxing loyally in the past.

"We still need more Hunyuan Qi." He sighed softly and said seriously.

There is really too little Hunyuan Qi in his hands.

"Since I am the only one capable of going to the East China Sea to retrieve the Hunyuan Qi. Then for the peace of the wilderness and my own safety, I must do this."

It's like picking up a piece of pure white silk, soft and ethereal.

"If we cannot gather enough strength before he arrives, then we will all die and no one will be spared.

With the establishment of the new cabinet, his work pressure has been reduced a lot.

Except for some particularly important matters that require personal control of the direction, the rest of the matters only require the cabinet to complete the "voting" and then he will complete the approval in the memorial.

But today, after he sat down at the desk, he did not immediately read the memorial.

Instead, he took out the booklet he often used to take notes.

Now, the content recorded in this booklet is no longer the past practice methods or ideas for improving talismans and seals, but has become an analysis of the general trend of the world.

He inherited the memories of Emperor Ziwei during his lifetime, and his understanding of the upper world - or "Lingxiao Realm" far surpassed everyone in the wilderness except Luo Chuan. He knew very well how terrible the overall strength gap between the two worlds was.

It is no less difficult for Dahuang to defeat the "Lingxiao Realm" than for a group of weak colonial residents to try to subvert a group of well-equipped powers with strong ships and guns.

In order to close the gap as soon as possible, Gu Xu has recently been combining the memories of his past and present lives, thinking hard day and night.

On the one hand, he himself needs to cultivate to the ninth realm as soon as possible, and he must not lose to Taishang Haotian in terms of the strongest combat power;

On the other hand, he also has to find ways to improve the strength of other practitioners - if Taishang Haotian has also reached the ninth level, and there is a stalemate between him and Taishang Haotian, then the key to determining the balance of victory and defeat will be It lies in other monks.

In addition, Gu Xu recently discovered that the power of incense that practitioners can provide to him is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Moreover, the higher the cultivation level of the practitioner, the more powerful the incense provided.

This made Gu Xu, in the booklet, "benchmark the Lingxiao world, comprehensively build a new ecology of the Great Wilderness Cultivation World, implement a spiritual energy transformation formation, open up the information barrier, run fast in small steps, iterate quickly, and use all his strength to create a set of combination punches" "To support and empower ordinary practitioners and win the must-win battle in the future" is positioned as one of Dahuang's current primary goals.

In Daxia’s first five-year plan, Gu Xu set these goals:

First, strive to break through to the eighth level in your own cultivation;

Second, cultivate at least one more saint-level expert;

Third, ensure that the country's top talents can fully utilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation.

……

When Gu Xu lowered his head and meditated, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in front of him, and then quickly spread around, turning into a clear light curtain.

Shen Qiu's figure suddenly appeared on the light screen.

Wearing a big red robe and a black gauze hat, he was seen standing in a local government office. He bowed his hands towards Gu Xu and said in salute: "Shen Qiu, a humble minister, pays homage to your majesty!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, Gu Xu couldn't help but secretly lamented that compared to the ancient times in his previous life, in this spiritual world full of extraordinary power, it was much easier to govern the country.

For example, this formation with remote communication capabilities greatly enhanced his ability to control all parts of the country. Through it, he is able to communicate with officials across the country, make decisions quickly, and effectively respond to various emergencies.

"How are you handling the matter in Jinling?" Gu Xu asked.

Shen Qiu reported truthfully.

He knew that the majesty in front of him possessed a magic weapon that could see into all things in the wilderness, and he was disgusted with the behavior of his ministers talking nonsense in front of him and wasting his time.

Therefore, Shen Qiu only gave a brief summary of the general process of the matter, and focused the narrative on the small details that were easily overlooked.

"...Your Majesty, during a recent review of Jinling Shen's property, Wei Chen discovered that they have five cold crystal ore mines under their name. However, due to previous over-exploitation, the resources of four mines are now close to depletion. The cold crystal ore itself is It is very precious. In recent years, with the increase in demand, the price has also soared..."

Gu Xu listened carefully to Shen Qiu's report and couldn't help but frown slightly.

He knew that this cold crystal ore was one of the main materials for refining the "Dingling Pill".

The "Dingling Pill" is a necessary item for fourth realm monks to break through to the fifth realm.

Although after the formation method of transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became popular, monks no longer need pills for daily practice or realm breakthroughs.

But that day is still far away.

The current cost of creating a "spiritual energy barrier" is too high, and the difficulty of obtaining "Hunyuan Qi" is too great. Even if Gu Xu goes to the end of the East China Sea every day, he still cannot meet the cultivation needs of all the monks in the wilderness. .

Allowing a small group of geniuses to practice in a spiritual environment is already the limit of what can be achieved currently.

Therefore, the production of elixirs is still necessary.

The shortage of cold crystal ore is destined to affect the improvement of the realm of intermediate practitioners in the future.

"What should we do?" Gu Xu thought hard.

Unknowingly, Emperor Ziwei's past memories reappeared in his mind.

He remembered that one of the important reasons why Emperor Ziwei and Taishang Haotian chose to cross the world barrier and explore the endless void after taking control of the upper realm was because the number of practitioners in the upper realm continued to increase. are increasing and various resources are becoming increasingly scarce.

To practice in the upper realm, although you don’t need to use elixirs to prevent yourself from going crazy, you still need a lot of herbs to temper your blood, minerals to refine magic weapons, spiritual springs to increase the probability of enlightenment, etc. Many monks will even pursue some. Such as "Drunken Dream Stone", "Albizia Julibrissin" and other rare things that are purely for enjoyment.

Taishang Haotian and Emperor Ziwei want to open up a different world, so as to use the resources of the new world to feed back the "Lingxiao World".

The Great Wilderness was the first new world the two of them arrived at.

When the two-realm passage in Kunlun Mountain still existed, Taishang Haotian often sent envoys to the wilderness to collect large amounts of resources.

"Thousands of years have passed since the breakup between Taishang Haotian and Emperor Ziwei," Gu Xu thought silently in his heart, "With the development speed of the Lingxiao world, maybe Taishang Haotian will discover something in the endless void again. several new worlds.

"Now, they are probably moving resources from those new worlds back to their home base.

"Perhaps, after we have more powerful True Lords in the wilderness world, we can also follow their example and try to explore new worlds. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to catch up with their pace..."

…………

at the same time.

After being driven out of the Zichen Palace, the former queen Chen Anzhi did not live a happy life.

She originally wanted to join the family and hug together with the survivors of the Chen family in Xiangyang.

However, the Chen family, who had respected her extremely in the past, now regarded her as a hot potato. They did not want to have anything to do with the widow of Emperor Tianxing, and rejected Chen Anzhi's request with various excuses.

Chen Anzhi felt extremely resentful about this.

After she married into the royal family, she worked hard for the interests of the family day and night, but in the end she was ruthlessly abandoned by these white-eyed wolf tribe members.

In desperation, she could only bring a few belongings from the palace, and with the help of her personal maid Yuanyang, she rented half a small courtyard in the suburbs of Luojing City.

Before and after the Battle of Luojing, a large number of refugees poured into Luojing City.

Now with the establishment of the new dynasty, the situation has gradually stabilized. Most people have returned to their hometowns, while the remaining few people still stay in Luojing, looking for opportunities to make a living.

At present, there is such a family living in the same yard with Chen Anzhi.

Chen Anzhi has lived a pampered and respectable life since he was a child.

After entering the palace, there were servants to serve him in everything.

For example, when she was washing, she didn't need to bend down or raise her hands. The palace maids and eunuchs would take good care of her.

During this process, the maids and eunuchs were not allowed to look directly at the queen, otherwise they would be punished.

Chen Anzhi's palace life refers to the experience of serving the queen Wanrong in the memoirs of the last eunuch Sun Yaoting.
