Start with the jailer

While Ji Wuchang and Ju Mingnv were looking at the empty scenery like curious babies, Ji Yanwei suddenly turned her head to look at the golden-red figure beside her that she could not see clearly.

At this moment, she felt a sudden inexplicable sense of trance emerging in her mind.

Almost instinctively, a thoughtful look appeared in Ji Yanwei's eyes, and at the same time, she began to look for the source of the trance that suddenly appeared in her mind.

And almost instantly, she felt in her heart that she was about to find the source.

A feeling of being only separated from the truth by a veil.

But Li Qingfeng did not give Ji Yanwei too much opportunity to think deeply and dig out the truth.

Ji Yanwei, Ji Wuchang and Jing Mingnu felt that only a breath of time had passed... and then they saw a golden-red figure lightly pointing his finger forward.

Then, the void shattered, the space was exposed, and the space split open...

The huge square of Fengge City and the beautiful scenery of rivers and mountains surrounding Fengge City for hundreds of miles were all in sight of everyone.

Is this it?

A dripping water...from Jin'an City to Fengge City?
Or even... maybe there was not even a breath of time, but because of the existence of the turbulence in the void, the dimension of time was stretched, causing their perception to mistakenly believe that a breath of time had passed?

This is indeed the case. The entire process of crossing the void actually took less than a tick of an hour, or barely 0.7 ticks of an hour.

After all, with Li Qingfeng's current level of strength, even without the help of void crossing, he can cross a distance of at least 200,000 miles in space in a single drop of water.

Crossing the void will only be faster!
Walking out of the void, golden-red light filled the sky.

In Fengge City, people from the Demon Suppression Department, the Defense Department, and the less than ten thousand civilians who had just migrated here all bowed with their empty hands toward the golden-red figure with surprise and reverence on their faces.

Then, everyone in Fengge City saw that the blurry golden-red figure actually bowed to all of them with empty hands.

In an instant,

"Your Majesty is Immortal!"

"Your Majesty is holy and wise!"

Shouts of "wait" arose like a tsunami from the crowd of less than 20,000 people.

Li Qingfeng remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand and threw out a jade slip.

The jade slip flew hundreds of feet into the air before shattering with a loud bang.

The words written on it, which are filled with divine and sword-like spirits, condense out like fleeting glimpses of light.

The content was clearly the decree issued personally by the current emperor, but... now it was no longer called a decree, but rather the [Emperor's Order].

Corresponding to the Later Emperor's orders are the Human Race's Ancestral Hall Order, the Criminal Tower Order, the Immortal Mountain Order, the Common People's Academy Order, the Heavenly Supervision Academy Order, and the Heavenly Research Academy Order.

After seeing the contents of the Emperor's order, the less than 20,000 people in Fengge City did not even wait for the restraint and guidance of the local officials, but retreated in an orderly manner towards the northwest of Fengge City.

Ji Yan was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty, do you need the Emperor's order to travel?"

In Ji Yanwei's opinion, and even in the opinion of all living beings in this world, the strength of the leader of the Immortal Organization is truly invincible.

Although the Later Emperor Li Qingfeng is the soul of Datong, the leader of the Immortal Organization, Your Excellency, is the true soul of the human race!
If the leader of the immortal organization is willing, he can depose and enthrone the later emperor at will. He can possess supreme power far beyond the later emperor and all power in the world!

In order to ask the soldiers and civilians of Fengge City to make room for the arrangement of the [Turning Heaven and Earth Sumeru Formation], Ji Yanwei and others believed that this did not require the order of the emperor at all, but only required an order from the leader of the immortal organization.

Li Qingfeng just smiled lightly: "Without rules, there will be no order... If I can have such privileges... then everyone in the world will want the same privileges as me. As long as everyone in the world reaches my level, what they want is no longer the great harmony, but the privileges that I have at this moment, or even... more privileges!"

At this moment, hearing the words of the leader of the immortal organization, the feeling of trance in Ji Yanwei's mind became stronger.

She only felt that the Lord in front of her seemed to overlap with the figure of a person she was very familiar with in all her senses.

But she was a little stunned for a moment, and even wondered if she was affected by the power of the predecessors who practiced the way of star cultivation.

Li Qingfeng remained silent.

He naturally noticed the extremely subtle changes in Ji Yanwei's expression. He had experienced Yu Xuanwei recognizing him at a glance, Zhang Ting recognizing Yin Sha as him, and he had also experienced the fear in front of Ming Yayin and Xiao Jiandun...

Li Qingfeng was very clear that Ji Yanwei's behavior at this moment was an indication of linking the leader of the Immortal Organization with him, Li Qingfeng.

After linking these two identities together, given his intelligence... it would probably take less than a quarter of an hour for him to determine the fact that the two identities have the same essence.

"It seems... from now on I should try to avoid spending too much time or too close to people I know in other identities..."

Not to mention that their bodies were different, Yu Xuanwei could recognize that Li Qingfeng was Yin Sha. At this moment, they were in the same body, only slightly blocked by the light of the immortal energy.

But when they were walking together, the distance between him and Ji Yanwei always remained within ten feet...

As he thought this in his mind, Li Qingfeng's mind moved, and the golden-red immortal energy roared in all directions, causing the wind and thunder to tremble.

"Let's start setting up the formation!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

Ji Yanwei, Ji Wuchang and Jingmingnu immediately began to try to set up the formation according to the true explanation of the [Turning Heaven and Earth Sumeru Formation] given by Mu Huaishuang.

But even though the three of them had been infused with the star power of the sages in the zodiac star map, and were now considered to be true thirty-six-grade, five-star supreme formation masters and prohibition masters, when they actually began to set up the [Turning Heaven and Earth Sumeru Formation], they still seemed unable to continue.

After all, this is the only true genius in the Star Cultivation Dao for tens of thousands of years like Mu Huaishuang. He also needs the full cooperation of four strong men above 100,000 steps of Wuduan Cliff, and even got the help of the thirty-second Dao Dan Danxiang amplification... This is the formation that he barely arranged. Of course, Mu Huaishuang arranged not only the [Turning Heaven and Earth Xumi Formation], but also the [Zhenyu Wind and Thunder Formation].

But even so, the difficulty of setting up the [Turning Heaven and Earth Sumeru Array] is still beyond imagination, and it is still not something that Ji Yanwei, Ji Wuchang and Jin Mingnu can easily master after they reach the realm of a thirty-sixth-grade five-star array master by taking advantage of the situation.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng no longer waited, but with a thought, extremely rich star power roared out from the star core of the star cave above.

At the same time, the invisible Chen force also spread out from the Chen core condensed in the Zigong acupoint.

Like a raging flood!
In an instant, the entire Fengge City was completely covered by the power of the stars.

The bright and soft starlight, and the power of the star that could not be seen at all, and whose vague existence could only be barely felt by Ji Yanwei.

When the stars meet.

The array points of the [Turning Heaven and Earth Sumeru Array] were quickly condensed and set up.

Thousands of stars twinkle continuously, forming a three-dimensional and extremely brain-burning three-dimensional coordinate system pattern of the stars in the sky.

The core array point foundation of the entire array... is enough to make 99% of the creatures in the world feel like their brains are about to explode after just one look at it.

Even based on Li Qingfeng's experience, the most complicated mathematics in his previous life, no matter it was a matrix or some coefficient... were suddenly weakened to the simple level of one plus one equals two in front of the strange three-dimensional coordinate system pattern formed by the array points of the [Turning Heaven and Earth Sumeru Array].

Or in other words... if Li Qingfeng wanted to learn mathematics in his previous life by climbing the mathematical system alone and deducing through cutting-edge mathematical reasoning such as matrices... it might take at least 100,000 years to derive formulas and theorems that are slightly related to this [Turning Heaven and Earth Sumeru Array].

"It is undeniable... the heterodox path is also a path, but the heterodox path wipes out the greatest development potential of the human race's genius..."

For example, the countless brilliant mathematicians and scientists in Li Qingfeng's previous life were restricted by the limitation that the outsiders could not increase their lifespan... No matter how brilliant they were, they could not truly reach the Tao in just a hundred years, and could only pile up this process generation after generation...

Unfortunately, humans do not have the means to directly obtain the memory inheritance of their ancestors, and need to learn from scratch... plus the life span is limited...

The consequence of taking the unorthodox path is that even if the human race has geniuses and evildoers from generation to generation, these geniuses and evildoers will need to spend half of their lives learning the knowledge left by their predecessors, and can only use the remaining half of their lives to push the Tao forward a little bit.

As the study of the Tao becomes more in-depth, future geniuses will even need to spend more time to learn the truth and knowledge discovered by their predecessors... until one day, no matter how talented a person is, he will not be able to learn the knowledge discovered by his predecessors in just a hundred years...

The progress of the heretics ends at this moment!

Even as geniuses have not appeared for a long time... the human race will complete the devastating achievement of [civilization gap] within a few generations. People several generations later, looking at the truth and knowledge discovered and enlightened by their predecessors several generations ago, will have no way to learn from them, and will completely define it as metaphysics... Even millions of years later, after the human race has opened up another track of [heterodox], they will even regard the knowledge of their ancestors that had previously reached a certain peak as feudal superstition!
Especially... Traditional Chinese Medicine!
In Li Qingfeng's opinion, this is roughly how Chinese medicine was inherited in previous lives.

At the beginning, Bian Que, Zhang Zhongjing and others continued the tradition and were able to learn the knowledge accumulated by their predecessors, and then pushed Chinese medicine a little bit further in the direction of Taoism.

But after Sun Simiao, geniuses like Ye Tianshi, Fu Qingzhu, Huang Yuanyu, etc.… spent their entire lives learning all the knowledge left by their predecessors, so Chinese medicine stopped developing after the Tang and Song dynasties…

Therefore, after Fu Qingzhu, Ye Tianshi, Huang Yuanyu and others, no genius appeared for hundreds of years. Not to mention advancing Chinese medicine in the direction of [Taoism], it was impossible to even learn all the knowledge left by the ancestors.

The inheritance of this system has completely collapsed, and it is difficult to have a systematic learning system again.

So as the heterodox sects opened up a new path... Traditional Chinese Medicine, which had a history of at least five thousand years and at most tens of thousands of years, suddenly became... feudal superstition or cultural dregs under the backdrop of the new heterodox sects' theories that could be studied systematically.

But...if millions of years later, when technology has reached a point where a genius cannot learn all the knowledge of their predecessors even if he spends his entire life on it, and there has not been a genius who can systematically learn all the knowledge of his predecessors for several generations...then thousands of years later, when a heretic arises again, will [technology] also become the [metaphysics] of the new era?
His thoughts drifted far away, Li Qingfeng even began to think about how to leave a possibility for the human race in the future!
That is to say, after the human race in this world finally steps into the trap of heterodoxy, how can we leave a possibility for the human race to break through their own life level and prolong their lifespan?

The path of martial arts can collapse, and the path of immortality... I'm afraid it can also collapse.

Then there is actually no point in leaving behind a way of cultivation.

Perhaps... what should be left behind is what our predecessors have already left behind - resistance and perseverance, and... that extremely strong sense of rebellion!
At this moment, the woman who was in charge of exorcising destiny cried out in surprise. Three of the formation points she was responsible for suddenly became unstable and were about to collapse at any time.

Li Qingfeng retracted his scattered thoughts, and as soon as he thought about it, starlight and Chen power arrived in an instant.

Those three points are completely stable!
At the same time, the entire [Turning Heaven and Earth Sumeru Array] was completely constructed and arranged!
But at this time, the woman who was praying for good fortune was already pale, Ji Wuchang was also gasping for breath, and fine beads of sweat were oozing out of Ji Yanwei's forehead.

Obviously, just setting up this [Turning Heaven and Earth Sumeru Formation] and allowing them to share less than two-fifths of Li Qingfeng's losses was already approaching its limit.

Li Qingfeng then said softly, "Three of you... this is the Soul-Restoring Pill. Next, just concentrate all your energy into this tiny bit of light in front of me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three soul-restoring pills flew out and landed in front of the three people.

The three of them swallowed the Rejuvenating Pill quickly without any hesitation.

He felt a chill in his soul, and his exhausted strength slowly recovered. His lost true energy was restored by 30% in an instant, and then continued to recover slowly.

Li Qingfeng slowly raised his hand and lightly pointed his index finger in front of him.

In the Dantian, the medical elixir began to tremble slightly.

A tiny ray of light emerged.

This is the method of condensing the [Golden Needle].

This golden needle is not the gold of gold, but the gold of the golden body, or the gold of the golden elixir or the golden immortal!
It refers to the immortal and indestructible gold!
Only by condensing the immortal needle can one use the formation to perform acupuncture and use the golden needle to activate the formation, thus avoiding greater losses for Li Qingfeng.

Let Li Qingfeng enter the bardo realm, and even after entering the land of nothingness from the bardo realm, still maintain his peak state as much as possible.

At the same time, Ji Yanwei, Ji Wuchang and Jinmingnu immediately put all their efforts into it, their true energy roared out, and they poured it into the flashing light in front of Li Qingfeng as if they were risking their lives.

In an instant, three golden needles condensed and emerged.

In another instant, three more golden needles appeared!
Ten breaths later, three hundred golden needles emerged one by one from the tip of the blade.

Realizing that Ji Yanwei and the other two had reached their limit and that taking the Soul-Restoring Pill would be useless, Li Qingfeng moved his mind and the three of them were transferred to the air northwest of Fengge City, completely leaving the formation.

At this time, Li Qingfeng was practicing the Starry Heart Method, using the power of the stars to combine with the immortal energy and the medical elixir to condense another 65 golden needles. (End of this chapter)
