The Fourth Financial Crisis

For thousands of years, the lost ancient inheritance of the Kyushu cultivation world has begun to gradually affect the operation of the entire civilization. This should be a common problem of the type of civilization where "technological progress relies on archeology".

When it comes to the protection of ancient inheritance, we have to talk about Ye Lun, the greatest female cultivator in modern times.

As the first cultivation economist recognized by the Kyushu cultivation world, Ye Lun, who was the head of the Shenxiao Sect at the time, created Kyushu's first global monetary system [the three-standard currency system], which stabilized the extremely chaotic monetary environment at the time and allowed cultivation Large-scale trade across the world became possible, and it was not completely disintegrated until the Bo Nanke era four thousand years later.

In addition, Ye Lun is also known as the "Originator of Immortal Formation Logic". This title does not refer to her high attainments in formations, but praises her contribution to the inheritance of Immortal Formation Logic.

It was under the auspices of Ye Lun that the Kyushu cultivation world compiled the first edition of "Fundamentals of Immortal Formation Logic".

This epoch-making book on the logic of the Immortal Formation summarizes most of the known logic units of the Immortal Formation in the world of Kyushu cultivation into one volume, completely breaking the sectarian tradition of each formation master preserving his own inheritance.

Before the birth of this book, the accidental loss of any unit of Immortal Formation Logic would permanently miss a piece of the Jiuzhou cultivators’ understanding of the Tao. With this book, "Fundamentals of Immortal Formation Logic", the cultivators in the world of cultivating The array knowledge is distributed and stored in the hands of all array masters like a blockchain.

As long as the formation masters in Kyushu are not dead, there is no risk of the basic knowledge of the formation being lost.

Therefore, this job can be regarded as a contribution to the current generation and a benefit to the future.

Despite this, when Ye Lun first compiled "Fundamentals of Immortal Formation Logic", he still encountered open opposition from many formation masters.

These formation masters who opposed Ye Lun claimed that their inherited knowledge of formations was a treasure left by their ancestors, and there was absolutely no reason to contribute it to open source for free. Although Ye Lungui was the leader of the seven major sects, he used all kinds of coercion and inducement methods to collect most of the array logic units.

The subsequent development of the matter was just as the head of Ye Lun had predicted: those formation masters who chose to cherish their broomsticks, their formation inheritance was gradually lost in the long river of history.

It is precisely because of the "Fundamentals of Immortal Formation Logic" compiled by Ye Lun that the tradition of "open source" of the formation knowledge of the Kyushu Cultivation World has been established. To this day, formation masters from all over the world have discovered the Kyushu Cultivation World from ancient formations. After discovering new formation logic units that have not been recorded before, they will actively report this knowledge to the [Shenxiao Sect Formation Research Institute], and then add it to the latest version of "Fundamentals of Immortal Formation Logic", the Shenxiao Sect Formation Research Institute Huge cash rewards will also be given to the discoverers.

This open source feature has also made Formation Dao the most active academic field in the Jiuzhou cultivation world. Not only are various innovative formations constantly being invented, but even the supreme formation-breaking secret technique of the Wuliang Sword Sect [ Dawu Xianhui] were all thought of by the Shenxiao Sect and saved Haiya City from Lin Jianxing.

Not only that, the technical concepts of the formation path have also been introduced into other fields of cultivation by the formation masters. The Monte Carlo Flying Sword of the Lin Musen brothers is a typical case of the cross-border invasion of the formation path into the field of weapon refining.

However, not all cultivation knowledge is as open source as formation knowledge and cultivation economics knowledge.

The sect-suppressing techniques of each sect, as well as the unique refining techniques of the refining masters of each major sect, as well as the various ancestral secret recipes mastered by the alchemists, are still secretly preserved by various cultivation sects and cultivation families. Therefore, in a certain way, It still happens that elixirs (magic weapons/practices) are permanently lost.

Not only that, in the field of weapon refining, which has the most conservative academic atmosphere, not only do the ancient weapon refiners have no spirit of sharing, but they will even kill those new weapon refiners who try to reform the weapon refining technology for their own benefit. Their way of thinking is extremely rigid. Brothers Lin Musen and Lin Muhu are victims of this traditional sectarianism.

Comparing the two, we can also see the mind and structure of Ye Lun, the master of Shenxiao Sect's formation.

Therefore, compared with the earth science civilization with a solid foundation, the cultivation civilization has a large number of underlying technological black boxes, making this civilization very fragile in the face of crises and completely unable to experience a world war-level disaster. It’s okay to say that the knowledge about the formations that has been open sourced is okay, but if a world war of cultivation spreads to Kyushu, a large number of elixirs, magic weapons, and exercises will inevitably be lost. In this way, the entire cultivation civilization of Kyushu will face a huge setback. risk.

It is precisely because of this realization that the cultivation economists and leaders of various sects in the past seven thousand years will save the Lingshi financial crisis at all costs and avoid the outbreak of large-scale armed conflicts as much as possible.

However, financial crises and economic crises are only superficial phenomena. What really causes crises to come back again and again is actually the unavoidable distribution crisis. The first generation of the Cultivation Monetary System lasted for more than four thousand years, and the second generation of the Cultivation Monetary System lasted for more than two thousand years. , and the third generation monetary system persisted for almost five hundred years before problems arose.

In the final analysis, the distribution problem behind the financial problem has never been well resolved.

After saving the third Lingshi financial crisis, President Lu also knew that the financial system he created would also end one day, but by then he might have already ascended to the fairy world.

In order to prevent the Jiuzhou cultivation world from being completely destroyed by the possible fourth spiritual stone finance, President Lu left this ultimate magic weapon that can modify the rules of heaven to future generations as a last resort.

As for why there is no historical record of such an awesome magic weapon, President Lu also explained it to Li Qingyang.

He said that this ancient magic weapon was not actually kept in the world of Kyushu cultivation, but was kept on the top floor of the Tongtian Pagoda on the extraterritorial battlefield. This pagoda was once a famous building on the extraterritorial battlefield. All those who participated in the extraterritorial battlefield trials As long as the practitioner can reach the Tongtian Pagoda alive, he will get a special trial opportunity.

This trial opportunity is very similar to Earth's prize quiz.

As long as the cultivator can correctly answer the questions answered by the tower spirit, the cultivator will gain the right to climb to the next level. There are various prizes placed in each floor of the Tongtian Pagoda. The higher the value of the prizes, the higher the value, but the questions are also It gets harder and harder. Before President Lu Yang was born, no one had ever been able to climb above the 50th floor of the Tongtian Pagoda.

However, Governor Lu and Xiao Huang were not ordinary people. They were two ascended immortals who were still in the Qi refining stage at the time. They passed all the levels and reached the top. Then they took away the highest reward at the top, which was made by the designer of the ancient Mighty Paradise. The Tiandao modifier is one of the ultimate rewards for clearing the Tongtian Pagoda.

The meaning of the existence of Tongtian Pagoda seems to be to preserve this Heavenly Dao modifier.

Therefore, when President Lu took away this object, the Tongtian Pagoda collapsed. Even the rules of the game on the foreign battlefield changed with the destruction of the Tongtian Pagoda. This also resulted in Yang Lu not having the opportunity to witness the legendary Tongtian Pagoda with his own eyes. In terms of style, I only saw large tracts of ruins of astonishing scale.
