Chapter 11: The Choices of All Beings (5000)
"These people from the Nine Xuan Realm, it's not appropriate!"
With a low shout, at this moment, Li Zhentang's spiritual power was full of energy, and his momentum was even higher, and the invisible aura condensed into a gang qi attached to his body and turned into armor, making this white-haired scholar change from a seemingly powerless literati professor to a god who ruled the natural world in an instant!
"It's too quiet, and it runs naturally!"
The Three-Eyed Nine Xuanren didn't understand what was going on for a while, but after all, his strength was not weak, and when he saw Li Zhentang step out and hit the huge palm that was the size of a house that pressed down on him, he knew that this palm was unavoidable in a hurry, so he immediately shouted angrily, and raised his four arms, with a faint sound of wind and thunder.
It's a pity that I can't stand it.
Li Zhentang's cultivation is the 'Taishang Tao Te Sutra', one of the three great Dao Zuns in the past, and it is the real Great Heavenly Venerable-level cultivation, whether it is on the earth or in the Nine Xuan Realm, it is one of the top cultivation methods, and what he uses is the fundamental supernatural power 'Taishang Miluo Supreme Pure Meditation and Righteous Dharma'.
This supernatural power, if you want to talk about power, there is nothing earth-shattering, at the same level, the destructive power is not even as good as the instinctive supernatural power of ordinary divine beasts.
But while it's not very destructive, it can make others weaker!
As long as the pure and righteous Dharma is transported out, the other supernatural powers between heaven and earth, whether they are based on supernatural powers, blood qi, or other talisman arrays, will all be reduced by more than ninety percent, the Dharma body will be broken, and the true body will be defeated.
On the other hand, the Three-Eyed Nine Xuanren, although the 'Wind and Thunder Annihilation True Body' that he cultivated was also quite a strong celestial cultivator, but obviously, he was inferior to Li Zhentang in terms of realm and strength, so the attack and killing method that was supposed to cause the thunder of heaven and earth and hit it with one punch was enough to open the mountain and tear the earth, but it became just an ordinary upper punch with a little pitiful arc wrapped around his hand.
Almost immediately, without any accidents, the three-eyed Nine Xuanren was directly slapped into the soil by Li Zhentang, leaving only one head exposed.
And this one, which should have been a huge move, was silent because of the Tranquility and Rectification, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy.
"You, you're going to regret it...... When His Majesty Emperor Xuan restarts the Tianzun Palace, he will open the Heavenly Road ......"
At this moment, the Three-Eyed Nine Xuanren, who had not completely lost consciousness, had already understood Li Zhentang's choice, and he roared in a low voice: "Wait for us to rediscover the trajectory of the departure of the Heavenly Venerables in the past, and rediscover the ...... of the ancestors."
“…… The Celestials won't come back, Gao Kai. ”
Li Zhentang, who had already taken out a sealing magic weapon like a kettle—the original refining material of this magic weapon was supposed to be a gourd—shook his head slightly when he heard the low roar of the three-eyed Nine Xuanren named Gao Kai.
Although he had already made up his mind to make a clear cut with the Nine Xuan Realm, he had no intention of killing the other party.
Sealing the magic weapon to Gao Kai, the young professor whispered: "Originally, I also thought that as the descendants of Tianzun, if the Jiuxuan people found the beacon and the trajectory, whether it was following the trajectory to catch up with the departing Divine Court fleet in the past, or sending a message to let the Tianzun return, the future would be extremely promising. ”
"However, the more I practice, the more I perceive, and the more I understand the immortal gods of the past, the more I understand that whether it is Tianzun or the immortal gods, they will not come back, they can be caught up, but they will never look back."
"Moreover, the civilization of the earth does not have to beg the immortals to return."
"We have our own path, and we can walk out of a road that is different from the Divine Court - this is something that you who are chasing the glory of the past, I'm afraid it can't be understood."
At this point, there is no need to say more, aiming the sealing magic weapon at Gao Kai, Li Zhentang chanted a spell in his mouth, and in a flash of spiritual light, he included the opponent who had no power to resist.
Then he remained silent, lost in thought.
And in the spiritual realm.
Li Yeyu stared at the quick and brief hand-to-hand exchange and conversation with a shocked face.
"Whoa, what just happened?!"
When Li Zhentang chose to do it, not only Gao Kai, but even she was surprised - the person who originally thought she was a spy suddenly turned back, which was really incomprehensible to a girl who didn't hear the cause and effect.
But if you think about it carefully, Li Zhentang's choice is not surprising.
"After all, at this time when Professor Su advanced to the Heavenly Immortal, even if he was in the Nine Xuan Realm, he also learned about it through the secret method."
Nodding slightly in the spirit realm, Li Yeyu actually understood why the three-eyed and nine-mysterious man refused to believe this—who would believe it?
If it weren't for the fact that the people of the earth have been shocked and shocked for four or five years, hearing this news, eight billion people on the earth would not believe it.
It seems that Professor Li chose to be a good person...... But are the intelligent beings of the Nine Realms actually peeking into our earth......"
Now, the girl finally understood what happened, and Li Yeyu couldn't help but be a little speechless: "...... Where did the guts come from? ”
"Although I don't know what the situation of the Nine Xuan Realm is now, even if we don't talk about Professor Su, our earth can be regarded as a first-grade psionic civilization in the entire galaxy!"
Since the in-depth exchange of various technologies with the Tallinns, Crow and Senostians, although the earth is still weak in space engineering, because the foundation is very good, it is now also an interstellar civilization with a space fleet, a moon base, and a large space city being built...... The Nine Xuanren may not be able to succeed in single-handedly challenging the country, not to mention that there are many forces on the earth.
Although Professor Li's choice is very touching...... But this kind of thing still doesn't work. ”
Thinking of this, Li Yeyu quietly turned into a shadow and left through the spirit world.
As for Li Zhentang, he was in deep chagrin at the moment.
"Alas, I knew that this side of the earth would be open to all people to practice, and the immortal inheritance could be exchanged at will, how could I be tempted...... Well, you can't say that. ”
Fifteen years ago, when the revival of Spiritual Qi was beginning to unfold, a young man who was underage encountered the temptation to practice with a Heavenly Venerable-level cultivation method, which was basically impossible to resist.
So far, Li Zhentang also thinks that the choice at that time has brought him great benefits and opportunities, and his current achievements are absolutely inseparable from the cultivation of the Nine Xuan Realm, which is also the point why he thinks that the Nine Xuan Realm is indeed kind to him.
It was precisely because of his grace that he desperately used his authority to transmit the true information of the earth back, trying to change the decision-making of the Nine Xuan Realm, so that the two worlds would not have conflicts and wars.
Sandwiched in the middle, it is difficult for him to do it, even if he says that he has a clear conscience and is not a Jiuxuan person...... But how is it possible to just pretend that nothing happened?
"Ugh."
With a long sigh, Li Zhentang clenched his fists, and the young white-haired professor muttered to himself: "After returning to Earth, report my identity and hand over Gao Kai to the official...... Even if they are punished, they cannot sit idly by and watch the war happen. ”
"And."
Lowering his head with some apprehension, Li Zhentang stared at the ground under his feet, and his tone was worried: "I still know what kind of person the king is, even if he doesn't believe in Minister Su's advanced heavenly immortals, but he should be able to know that Minister Su's strength is at least the peak of the earth immortals - with such a human immortal god in charge, and he insists on starting a war, this is not like the king's style." ”
"If there are no accidents, war should not be the king's desire...... It's the wish of the entire Nine Xuan Realm. ”
So thought of it.
Li Zhentang originally planned to turn back, leave this secret realm in the forest, and return to his group, pretending that nothing had happened.
As the professor who led the team, he naturally had the authority to act alone, not to mention that he had already prepared a few days ago, and he had a reason to explain the reason and harvest of going out alone this time.
However, as soon as he took a step, Li Zhentang stopped.
"Wait, this feels ......"
He swallowed, then turned his head and looked behind him.
Then, he saw Li Yeyu and the other eight colleagues of the exploration team, with strange faces emerging from the spirit realm, looking at him silently.
- Li Zhentang, stopped thinking.
And just when Li Zhentang gave up resistance and confessed to leniency.
Nine Mysterious Realms, underground.
Nine Xuan thirty-three collars, Jun Tian collar.
Located between the mantle and crust of the Nine Xuan Realm, the underground fortress cities fixed with the help of the power of the formation are all called leaders, among them, the twenty-four leaders are ruled by the twenty-four feudal kings, and the central seven leaders are led by Emperor Xuan himself.
And the core of the Seven Realms of Emperor Xuan, the deepest part of the palace of Jun Tianling, which is the center of the entire Nine Xuan Realm, a figure covered in light and unable to see clearly his form and face at all, is sitting silently on his throne, listening to the information coming from afar.
“…… Yes, Gao Kai's negotiation failed, and Li Zhentang also gave up. ”
His voice was like an old man and a child, a woman and a man. I can't hear his identity, and I can't tell his age, except for the dazzling aura, which proves that his strength is indeed extremely strong, and he has stepped into the realm of the 'immortal god', and there is no way to see any information from him.
No, or rather, it's because there's so much information that you can't tell.
The true and only ruler of the Nine Xuan Realm, the Nine Xuan Emperor, was whispering to himself in an indifferent tone at the moment: "It seems that no matter how incredible the information is, but the result is already like this, I can only believe that on the side of Xiantian, there is really a natural Heavenly Emperor seed, and it only took five years to advance to Tianxian." ”
At this point, He was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Plans can't keep up with change...... But I never thought it would change so much. ”
"But defeat may not necessarily be a bad thing."
He said softly if he let the other Nine Xuan people hear it, I am afraid that he would feel unbelievable, but Emperor Xuan's tone did not mean any joke.
The Nine Xuan people are a race that was almost extinct due to the ecological changes caused by the severance of aura.
As the descendants of the former Heavenly Venerables, the Nine Xuan People were a group of people who were proud and full of pride in the era of the Central Divine Court, their desire to seek the Tao was blazing, and the people who achieved the Immortal God were more than the mortals in other realms, not because of the support of the Heavenly Venerable, but because of their own efforts.
In the distant past, the Nine Xuan Realm was even regarded as another Immortal Heaven, and there were many Heavenly Venerables of the Central Divine Court who wanted to discuss confidential matters, most of the time they would not be in the Immortal Heaven Realm with other earth god systems, but would come to the Nine Xuan Realm to discuss.
As a Jiuxuan person at that time, he was indeed full of pride in his place of origin.
But when the aura was cut off, the Nine Xuan Realm, whose entire ecological environment was completely supported by the aura, almost fell into hell.
The stars and moon dimmed, the sun went out, the palace of the Heavenly Venerables stopped moving, and the extremely cold winter killed many creatures, even if the transformed spirit plants with extremely strong vitality could survive, but the food did not have that kind of surplus.
Without aura, they naturally cannot cultivate, and the proud talent and Dao-seeking spirit of the Jiuxuan people are useless, and they struggle to survive in this eternal winter night, but the population is still declining.
Until the first being, who was called Emperor Xuan by later generations, appeared, leading all beings to the warm underground, with the help of the magic circle of the Heavenly Venerables who used to base the bloodline of the earth, so that the civilization of the Nine Xuan people had a chance to breathe.
Now...... The civilization of the Jiuxuan people has regained its prosperity.
With the abundant energy underground, the Jiuxuan civilization that has opened up many underground fortress cities has once again picked up the glory of the past, and after the revival of the aura, a large number of cultivators have emerged, and all kinds of spiritual weapons and spiritual weapons are constantly being manufactured in the underground forging pool, arming almost all the Jiuxuan people.
At this moment, the Jiuxuan people are in the heyest era in thousands of years.
But is this true?
Not.
As the ruler of the Nine Xuan Realm, Emperor Xuan, this generation of Emperor Xuan, can see the truth that covers his civilization and people at this moment.
- A civilization that is on the verge of destruction and pins all its hopes on plundering other civilizations.
The food source of the Jiuxuan Thirty-Three Collar is a kind of heat-loving bryophytes, which can survive in high temperatures and grow quickly, which can barely meet the needs of the Jiuxuan people, and can also save some food to deal with disasters.
Moss food is obviously not a nutritious thing, in the Nine Xuan Realm, where the ecology is almost destroyed, there is no spirit animal that can be herded, and naturally there is no high-nutrient spiritual food, if it is an ordinary person, there may be no problem, and the transformed moss food can still meet a person's healthy life.
However, for practitioners, it is far from enough.
The revival of spiritual energy, for the Nine Xuan Realm, which was originally standing on the edge of the cliff, was not a bell of the gospel, but a clarion call for destruction.
Emperor Xuan closed his eyes, and in his mind, a lot of data from the thirty-three realms of the Nine Xuan Civilization in recent years appeared.
Because of thousands of years of survival of the fittest, most of the Jiuxuan people who survived had excellent physical fitness and cultivation talents.
Within five years, because their talents were too good, all kinds of cultivators who continued to emerge had already accounted for more than seventy-four percent of the total production of the entire civilization's resources.
Who wouldn't want to become a cultivator, and who wouldn't want to become an immortal? Even the old peasants in the mountains will fantasize, not to mention the nine Xuanren who were originally descendants of Tianzun and direct descendants of the immortals? No one will give up and give up their resources to someone else.
Cultivators can occupy more resources, resulting in ordinary people getting fewer resources, and ordinary people getting fewer resources, making more ordinary people desperately want to become cultivators.
The workers who were supposed to be engaged in infrastructure construction and resource production have now begun to shake on a large scale, and the people's hearts are fluctuating, and everyone wants to regain the glory of their ancestors and become monks who have fled to the sky in this era of spiritual energy recovery that has been absent for thousands of years...... By now, this situation has begun to snowball effect, and the more cultivators there are, the less people will be able to produce resources.
In order to support the appearance of the entire civilization, the Nine Xuan Royal Court levied countless taxes and embezzled all kinds of funds used to repair the magic circle, develop the city, and carry out infrastructure construction.
But even so, if nothing else has changed, the entire Nine Xuan Civilization will completely collapse in a few years.
The shattered social order, the incomparably fierce contradictions between cultivators and ordinary mortals, the impending food crisis, the truth that there is a serious shortage of resources, the Nine Xuan Realms are almost completely destroyed, and there is no surface ecology that is almost impossible to restore in a few decades......
Emperor Xuan could see that under his rule, cultivators could enjoy a full stomach, practice steadily every day, improve their strength, and then go to get more resources.
Ordinary people, on the other hand, can only work hard and have no time to cultivate, so they will always be weak and exploited by others.
Because being strong is all there is to be, no one wants to be weak.
As a result, the Nine Xuan Realm, which was originally just a hard support, has now become a hell for the weak.
All of them longed to get out of this hellish world and go to the space-time realm called 'Immortal Heaven', the core of the former Central Divine Court—or somewhere else, in short, not to stay where they were.
The strong want to find opportunities and resources to make themselves stronger, while the weak want to find respite.
The final collapse of civilization is coming, and it is only the last glimmer of hope that will sustain all the red-eyed madmen from losing their last sanity.
And in order to delay the arrival of the collapse as much as possible, so that the entire Nine Xuan Realm can survive, even Emperor Xuan can only guide everyone's thoughts and transfer the contradictions to the outside world.
Yes, on the bright side, everyone felt that this was just to find the ancestors, to find the actions of the Immortal God Tianzun, a glorious battle, but only Emperor Xuan knew that this war could be replaced by countless names, but what remained unchanged was the fact that the war had to begin.
Internal consumption will only cause the self-destruction of the Nine Xuan Civilization, and only by opening up outward can we obtain sufficient resources.
There is no war, a victory, or a complete defeat.
The current Nine Xuan Realm is impossible to stop.
Even him, Emperor Xuan, is impossible.
