In Lin Xi's eyes, there are still many secrets in this world.

It is not difficult to understand that the human heart has launched miraculous skills and created some seemingly transcendent existences.

As a Heavenly Demon, Lin Xi knows the magic of the soul best.

For ordinary people, this kind of invisible and intangible thing really affects and interferes with all existing substances, even conceptual existence.

However, what Lin Xi was surprised by was the hazy transcendent power and uncertainty that existed in this world.

You know, if not an absolutely demonless world.

But where there is an extraordinary shadow, even if it is the end of the law, the power of the human heart can be concentrated to create a legend.

"I need to meet the Steam Ancestor first. Lin Xi set the next step of his specific actions.

Although the national policy was set by the previous Xia emperor, this generation of Xia emperors promoted it.

But when it comes to implementation, someone needs to actually discover and invent the relevant tools and foundations.

The ancestor of the steam of the Xia Kingdom was named Cai Yuan, who was originally a craftsman in the Ministry of Industry, and when the emperor reformed the Ministry of Industry and improved the treatment and salary of craftsmen, there was a period of time when the skills of craftsmen exploded.

Many new tools and products have been discovered, as well as some old, lost technology has been recovered.

And Cai Yuan... He answered the call and then, by a very coincidental coincidence, invented the steam engine.

With the wide application of steam engines, Cai Yuan's reputation is also getting higher and higher.

Ten years ago, Cai Yuan was even almost awarded the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, but at that time, overnight... Cai Yuan's son, daughter, granddaughter, and his wife, who had been with him for many years, all died tragically at the hands of thieves.

After Cai Yuan became discouraged, he withdrew from the court and settled in Xiaochuan Mountain outside Kyoto, living a secluded life.

"According to some of my assumptions about this world, Cai Yuan may not be able to attain true transcendent powers, but if he wants to, he can set off a steam frenzy and even envelop the whole of Kyoto. ”

"There are thieves who commit crimes in Kyoto and kill him all over the house, such a thing... In the end, it ended up with no beginning and no end, no matter how you think about it, it is strange. Why didn't he do it? Did he not want to? Or couldn't?"

Lin Xi left the courtyard and asked the servants to drive to Xiaochuan Mountain.

Since his whereabouts could not be concealed, Lin Xi simply did everything above board.

Xiaochuan Mountain is not as desolate as imagined.

The front mountain is lively.

There is the huge steam museum with the first machines of various steam engine applications.

There is also the first steam forging furnace made by Cai Yuan.

In Great Xia, the first application of the steam engine was to forge steel.

And the back mountain is the forbidden land of the Xia Kingdom.

There are a large number of sergeant handles, and ordinary people cannot enter.

Obviously, it is to keep a clean place for Cai Yuan.

As for whether there is a meaning of house arrest and guards, it is unknown.

With Lin Xi's ability, he easily avoided those patrolling sergeants alone and went deep into Xiaochuan Mountain.

The depths of Xiaochuan Mountain are drier and more lonely than Lin Xi imagined.

A large number of trees have died, and they have become charcoal-like.

The air was filled with a dry smell, as if the water in the air had been drained by some force.

On the dry sandy wasteland, there stood a simple stone house.

At the door of the house, an old man in shabby clothes was lying on a large cold rock panting.

Half of his body had turned the color of charcoal.

The body is constantly steaming with water vapor.

The little water that was left around him was wantonly volatilized around him.

The moment he saw this old man, Lin Xi understood.

"It turned out that Cai Yuan had half a body and stepped into the real transcendent... The power of steam wants to merge into his body and become one with him. ”

"It's just that, after all, this world does not allow the appearance of the truly transcendent, so his fusion has reached a stalemate. Perhaps... It was he who caused his extinction in the first place. Lin Xi was a little reluctant to think about the gloom that had flashed before.

Then Lin Xi strode towards Cai Yuan, and then peeked at his fate.

Even Cai Yuan, the ancestor of steam, is still an ordinary person.

He himself was not really included in the ranks of the transcendental, so Lin Xi's miraculous skills, on his body, were also unimpeded.

"Old age and death, this is the fate of Cai Yuan?" Lin Xi had no more surprises.

What's so surprising about this?

In those demonless worlds, there may even be some people who deserve to be holy, and finally scribbled for decades and turned into a cup of loess.

Some people like to magnify the importance of the will and the heart infinitely.

Lin Xi thought so before.

However, if there are no basic rules as a fulcrum, then even the most powerful mind will become fragile due to the decay of the body.

Gone with the wind.

"So how did the true saint solve this problem?"

"If you don't solve this problem, won't you be banned from the land without demons, and you will... ”

"No, no, the saint incarnates infinitely, and will not be confined to a fixed, unique area and space... Even time. But... What about assumptions?"

"Assuming that such a possibility exists, then how will the saint deal with it?" Lin Xi felt that he seemed to have vaguely touched a certain key at this time.

However, it is the key to this point, and it has never been penetrated.

At this time, Cai Yuan seemed to be really just an ordinary old man who was dying and decrepit.

It wasn't until Lin Xi walked to his side that he discovered Lin Xi.

In the cloudy eyes, what is hidden is the loneliness of half a life.

He glanced at Lin Xi indifferently, and then ignored it.

He wasn't curious about how Lin Xi had gotten through the obstacles to get here.

He didn't care if Lin Xi came here to be against him.

He was already in great pain to live.

Maybe death is a very good choice.

"Did you see that?"

"The door that is blocked in your body. Lin Xi asked Cai Yuan.

Cai Yuan didn't answer Lin Xi, and even seemed to not understand at all.

Lin Xi continued to take care of himself: "You see... So you want to open it, but you are too reckless, you underestimate the thickness of that door and also overestimate your own accumulation, so you make irreparable mistakes and then self-exile. ”

Cai Yuan finally looked at Lin Xi, his half-scorched, half-decayed face showing an obvious sarcastic expression.

"Who are you?"

"A self-righteous megalomaniacal?"

"Over the years, there are not a few people who think they can get something from the old man... You're not the first, but none of them ended well. You might be able to try to find the answer in me. Cai Yuan obviously wanted to provoke Lin Xi, or rather, to stimulate him and do something.

Lin Xi shook his head.

"You didn't step over, but you merged with it, and now you can be it. Or you're old and will die of old age sooner or later, but now... Anyone who touches you will be retaliated by a burst of steam. It's not an instinct you can control. Lin Xi said.
