I said I'd go back in time

Chapter 576 Searching for Lin Xing and War Paradise

The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult, Jing Shiyu, was a well-known figure that Qiao Zixuan had heard of since childhood.

Some say that she is the behind-the-scenes controller of the world, some say that she is the strongest in both worlds today, and some believe that she is the one with the greatest potential to ascend.

But looking through the networks of both worlds, no one could find any image data belonging to Jing Shiyu.

It seems that the information about her has always been hidden by some mysterious force.

Thinking that even such a mysterious and powerful being was paying attention to his actions, Qiao Zixuan felt flattered.

Half an hour later, he followed Yun Yao back to the present world and met this legendary figure in an ordinary restaurant.

The restaurants and shopping malls that were once bustling in the past are now empty. There are no customers, no staff, and even most of the electrical appliances and lights are turned off, which makes this place a meeting place with good confidentiality.

Seeing Jing Shiyu's true appearance at such a close distance, Qiao Zixuan was slightly dazed, and then became even more uneasy.

He had not expected that this legendary figure would have such stunning beauty.

Jing Shiyu looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze and said slowly: "Tell me about your experience."

Qiao Zixuan was somewhat afraid to look directly into the other person's eyes. He lowered his head and slowly talked about his experience of studying martial arts with Wang Le, as well as the upload of his skills this time, and how he was killed instantly by Wang Le in the end...

After hearing this, Jing Shiyu nodded and said, "I already know what happened. You should rewrite the first four methods of the Eight Methods of the Candle God."

"As for the Immortal, if he contacts you again, just tell him that you haven't found the last four methods yet. If he doesn't ask, then don't bring it up..."

Listening to the implicit meaning of Jing Shiyu's words, it seemed that she was going to give up on exchanging the "Eight Methods of the Candle God" for immortal energy with Qianhuan Tianxian. Qiao Zixuan asked the reason in confusion.

Jing Shiyu didn't mean to answer, but instead talked about another topic: "Do you know what this "Eight Methods of Candle God" is?"

Without expecting a response, she continued, "This is known as the ancient method in the upper realm."

"And the skills and traditions we practice are called the Old Law in the upper world."

"In addition to this, there is also the most popular new method in the upper world..."

Through Jing Shiyu's introduction, Qiao Zixuan finally understood the connection between ancient methods, old methods and new methods.

All the basic knowledge about the way of immortals was obtained through the transactions between the secular government and the Thousand Illusions Celestial Immortal, and then a part of the immortal energy was used to purchase things in the Dharma Realm.

After listening to Jing Shiyu's introduction, Qiao Zixuan was shocked, and a flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes: "So what that person taught us is the ancient method?"

"Then he is probably not creating his own skills, but studying ancient methods that he got from who knows where?"

Then he had another question in his mind: "But if what you said is true, shouldn't the ancient method be inferior to the old method? Then why can Wang Le defeat us so easily?"

Jing Shiyu said calmly: "Perhaps the ancient method he practices is only related to spirit and mind, and he can make rapid progress even if he reincarnates every day."

"On the contrary, in comparison, the time you have spent cultivating in the Mirror World is less than one-tenth of his, so naturally you are lagging behind him."

Qiao Zixuan lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "Is it because of the difference in training time?"

Jing Shiyu concluded: "In short, don't worry about the ancient law for now. The government has other arrangements in this regard and will communicate with the immortals in the upper realm."

There was no emotion in her eyes as she spoke, which made Qiao Zixuan unable to guess what Jing Shiyu's attitude towards this matter was.

Looking at the other party who was about to leave, Qiao Zixuan thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts: "I want to find Wang Le and that person."

"I have some questions for them!"

Jing Shiyu turned around and glanced at him, then smiled and said, "It's not impossible. You wait here first, someone will come to arrange for you."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. In a flash, she appeared on the street thousands of meters away with Yun Yao.

"Next, I will start searching for ancient methods all over the world, especially in the Mirror World. I will collect all the secret manuals that no one has learned or passed on..."

"Also, arrange for someone to find the person Qiao Zixuan mentioned..."

"If you have collected any ancient techniques, please send them to me first so that I can review them. Don't rush to send them to the Dharma Realm..."

Listening to Jing Shiyu's instructions, Yun Yao couldn't help but have a thought in her mind: "Is the leader too cautious about contact with the Immortal Court?"

Ever since the emergence of the Dharma Realm, news about the beauty and power of the upper realm has spread, and leaders from all parties have been trying to speed up the connection with the upper realm.

But a small group of people led by Jing Shiyu always opposed this and that, and constantly controlled the progress of contact with the upper realm.

"The leader is still too cautious... She always seems to be worried that... the higher world will covet something from us."

But Yun Yao thought this was just unnecessary worry.

"Whether it's the ancient method or the world acceleration, no matter how precious the resources of the lower world are, how can they be compared with those of the upper world?"

"Besides, even if we really want to resist, what can we use to resist the upper world? As long as the upper world is willing, they can destroy us by sending some evil energy down."

Looking at Jing Shiyu's back, Yun Yao thought to herself, "The leader's judgment may have been wrong."

"Now that the Dharma Realm is spreading to all the heavens and myriad worlds, in order to stand out from so many lower worlds, the most important thing to do is to speed up the connection with the upper world, close the distance with the upper world as soon as possible, and become a part of the Immortal Court. As for other details... it's not the time to be particular about them."

...White Eagle Country.

Western continent.

In the deserted Gobi Desert, Bai Yiyi was following Wang Le and Lin Xing, looking around.

In front of them was a checkpoint with a long queue, and above the checkpoint was a sign that read "War Paradise".

Listening to the continuous explosions in the distance, Bai Yiyi asked casually: "Where is this place?"

Wang Le explained: "This is considered the public combat zone of the White Eagle Nation."

While the two were talking, their group of three had quickly passed the checkpoint.

Wherever the three of them passed, it was as if there was no one around. It seemed that the passers-by, checkpoint staff, drones, and surveillance cameras around them were all unaware of their presence.

Once you enter this so-called public combat zone, the sounds of explosions and gunfire are endless, even causing the earth to tremble.

Wang Le continued, "Since the beginning of the reincarnation, the White Eagle Nation has been in a civil war. Later, as the influence of the evil spirit weakened, the original intention of the civil war gradually faded, but many people have become accustomed to it, and even regard this kind of war as freedom and entertainment."

"In order to maintain basic social order, the White Eagle Nation eventually set up some public combat zones, with war themes, murder themes, battle royale themes, ancient war themes, and so on."

"In these areas, as long as you abide by the park rules, you can fight and destroy as much as you want, and all kinds of weapons will not be prohibited..."

As they were talking, the place where tourists pick up their equipment appeared in front of the three of them.

A sturdy robot was clumsily holding a mini pistol and introducing it to the children in front of it: "Hello, everyone. This is our special infant protection area, which is more suitable for tourists under the age of seven..."

Another little boy couldn't wait to walk to the adult area: "Fuck, I killed niggers here 20 years ago, fuck your babies!"

The robot's face flashed with an AI voice: "Sir, please abide by the park's rules. It is forbidden to use discriminatory words when killing people..."

The little boy picked up the weapon from the adult equipment area, shot and blew up the following robot, and then rushed to the combat area impatiently.

On the other side, Lin Xing and the other two had already passed through the equipment area and arrived deep into the war paradise.

What appeared before them was like a huge flesh and blood grinding wheel.

The battle was divided into two sides, red and blue. As the two sides fought fiercely, all kinds of swords, guns, and even drones, tanks, and fighter jets were used indiscriminately, madly killing everything on the battlefield.

From time to time, someone would charge forward with a roar, and then be torn to pieces under the heavy firepower.

An old man whose leg was blown off fell not far in front of Lin Xing and the other two, and pointed the gun at himself with a helpless look on his face: "Damn it, if I had known it would be so easy to die, I should have bought an annual pass."

Looking at the head-exploded corpse, Wang Le said with emotion: "After coming to White Eagle Country, I felt that the public security here is good. Now it seems that this battle zone should have played a significant role, effectively releasing the energy of the White Eagle people who usually have nowhere to vent."

“What do you call good public security?”

Bai Yiyi, who was standing by, looked at the body fragments that were blown in front of her. She was about to deny Wang Le's words, but when she recalled the last time she came to the White Eagle Country and was invaded by the evil spirit, she sighed helplessly, "Alas, I guess so."

At the same time, a drone with red and blue warning lights flashing in the sky suddenly flew over the heads of the three people.

A male voice dubbed by AI kept coming from the drone's loudspeaker: "Tourist A392, please stop insulting other tourists and shoot them immediately, otherwise your actions will be considered hate crimes against minorities..."

Bai Yiyi couldn't help but say after hearing the broadcast: "Is swearing worse than killing someone?"

Wang Le, who was standing by, said as a matter of course: "Swearing is of course more serious than killing. After all, the dead can be resurrected, but the psychological trauma left by being insulted and discriminated against cannot be healed even after resurrection."

Bai Yiyi shook her head helplessly, feeling that after she and Lin Xing had been secluded in that small courtyard for decades, the world before their eyes was becoming more and more crazy.

As the two were talking, the fierce battle in the park was still going on, and an old lady a hundred meters ahead of them was about to shoot, but found that no bullets could be fired from the barrel.

At the same time, an AI voice came from the gun: "Dear tourist, it has been detected that you have killed five female targets in succession."

"The system suspects that you have misogynistic tendencies. You will be prohibited from killing other female targets until you kill the same number of men..."

The old lady was about to start cursing, but the next moment she was shot and fell to the ground.

Wang Le nodded secretly while watching this scene, and exclaimed: "Look, Grandpa and Teacher, this war-themed park is really well built."

"Not only are there drones to stop radical speech at any time, but all the guns are also connected to the Internet, so that we can intervene in advance if there is a possibility of hateful or discriminatory behavior."

"This is to strictly prevent tourists from suffering mental damage during their tour."

Bai Yiyi, who was standing by, watched people being blown away one after another. She frowned and said to Lin Xing, "You are paying more and more attention to your mental state, and you are paying less and less attention to physical damage... But isn't this too extreme? Isn't this a bit off track?"

Lin Xing smiled and said, "Master Bai, don't be anxious. Most humans grow very slowly. We should give them more time to adapt and learn."

“Time is the best nutrient, and what our world lacks the least is time.”

After saying that, Lin Xing squatted in front of a girl who was injured and fell to the ground: "Besides, such an amusement park...is not useless."

Then Lin Xing pointed his finger at the girl's brow, and the next moment countless words and images were injected directly into her soul according to Lin Xing's thoughts.
