Chapter 580 Phaseless Qi Machine

Chinese era, one hundred years.

Thirty-five years have passed since the first spaceship sailed, twenty-two years have passed since the first artificial spiritual root appeared, and three years have passed since all human beings have reached the level of cultivation in the true sense.

This year, the first year of the Hua Era, the number of monks has reached five billion. Although the number of humans has decreased by nearly half in the past hundred years, this is an inevitable decline brought about by social development.

In this era, a person, a powerful person whose strength is still unknown in the spiritual world, has been worshiped by countless people.

He changed the social structure and got rid of the almost secluded trend of thought that was caused by the spiritual prosperity. Everyone believes that there is no need for interstellar navigation, even if the law of space gives them the ability to travel freely back and forth within thousands of light years.

Even the powerful individuals brought about by cultivation are enough for the human body to stand in the universe.

Even if interstellar colonization does not only exist on paper, but has an actual technical foundation.

Even if the unified government approves the project, a long-lasting interstellar fleet can be completed within five years.

But in the past hundred years, there has been almost no so-called interstellar navigation in mainstream discourse, and all literary works have lost their imagination of the universe.

Rather, in an attitude that is higher than the universe, humans do not think that the universe needs to be explored.

There is nothing wrong with this. Desires often come from material things. When the material available in the universe is sufficient, then there will naturally be no outward desire.

This is inertia.

Living things exist, and so does heaven and earth.

However, spiritual resources are scarce, and spiritual stones, spiritual pills, elixirs, medicines, techniques, and everything else are difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

In order to break the isolation of the country, Emperor Mian separated part of himself and turned it into a tentacle of heaven and earth, covering this vast world.

Those without form are all heaven and earth.

The struggle that is carried out is also for heaven and earth.

Di Mian was basking in the sun tiredly, with a few rays of silver in his hair.

A reporter sat in front of him with respect, using the most advanced holographic video recorder to record the conversation.

"Mr. Emperor, what kind of mentality do you have in donating room temperature superconducting technology and artificial spiritual root technology for free? These two technologies have brought unprecedented changes to mankind and have truly enabled everyone to practice. Your achievements are enough Canonized, comparable to the legendary immortals.”

"I'm just borrowing flowers from the Buddha." Di Mian shook his head and said, "The Changchun Kung Fu is more magical than you think."

The reporter thought it was modesty and said: "You are too modest. There is only one ten thousandth of the Changchun function. But your artificial spiritual root allows everyone to practice. In the past, practicing Qi before the age of ten was a genius. Now, They have all been implanted with artificial spiritual roots."

When Di Mian heard this, he just smiled and shook his head. He didn't bother to explain too much. This conversation was just a boring and interesting thing.

If it becomes a show off for oneself, it would be a bit of a loss of status.

Besides, what he said is true.

Artificial spiritual roots are based on the method of Changchun Gong, which cuts off the original endless upper limit in exchange for a low lower limit.

And those who begin to implant artificial spiritual roots at a young age, and those who do not want to succeed through their own efforts, will eventually be reduced to nothing.

He will never be able to break through the golden elixir throughout his life.

If you practice Changchun Kung honestly, you will definitely be able to break through in the end. The golden elixir is just around the corner, and the Nascent Soul is not impossible.

It's possible all the way up to the Holy King.

They are just the fuel that drives society forward, the fuel that naturally causes one of the struggles of all beings.

Emperor Mian didn't bother to trick them, so he informed everyone at first.

The upper limit of artificial spiritual roots has been weakened.

Di Mian asked: "Do you think I am comparable to an immortal?"

The reporter praised unabashedly: "I think you have surpassed the immortals. Even if you stand on the shoulders of giants, you are already better than others."

"hehe……"

Di Mian chuckled a few times, seemingly happy, but more like mockery.

He remembered the era when he had just come back, when everyone's worship of immortals was endless. This is also the result of the joint construction of the three forces of the Unified Government, Immortal Palace, and Tao Realm, and it is absolutely correct.

Because the spiritual veins are in their hands.

Is there anything wrong with such an extreme personality cult?

From the perspective of the development of human society, it is in line with human nature, but not in line with rationality. But the immortal basically doesn't show up, so there won't be any harm.

Generally speaking, the worship of immortals has no harm at all.

The worship of his character can suppress personal authoritarianism.

Asgard has a plan.

Every practicing genius will receive the imprint of a certain kind of thought overtly or covertly, and the education prepared by the government from birth will tell the moral character of the immortal. After entering the practice, the Taoist realm starting with Shangqing Palace and Beidou Immortal Palace will tell you the nobility of immortals.

The Immortal Boat Fleet is even more extreme, similar to a death warrior.

It's all the kindness of immortals, just like the patriotic education of the old era, but it's biased toward individuals.

This kind of behavior can easily lead to rebellion, and many teenagers will slander the immortals and flaunt their uniqueness in this way. But without exception, after entering society, they will feel ashamed of their past words and deeds.

Because the kindness is real, not through false, didactic, and unreasonable oppression inherent in feudal ethics.

The Tao and Dharma they practice all come from one person.

And he never took anything from the world.

Emperor Mian knew that the human race in the previous life had conquered the sky, so he wanted to break this kindness.

This will be an interesting process.

Di Mian sensed that several monks from the Urban Management Department were approaching, but they did not enter his villa. Obviously, the target was not him.

Li Changsheng's juniors are not stupid enough to make themselves targets.

It should be this reporter and the cosmic faction he promotes.

"It's time for the interview to end."

"Is this over?" The reporter felt a little regretful, but did not bother and quickly packed up his things.

Before leaving, he asked: "Can I ask you one last question?"

"ask."

"Today's society is divided on whether to carry out large-scale interstellar colonization. After all, although there are spiritual veins in the outside world, there are still many dangers. Moreover, our home planet is in motion all the time. Once it is separated, I am afraid it will Can't come back either.

Everyone who leaves their home planet will be a spark of civilization. Will he become a villain who returns with a knife in the future? "

The reporter asked the most pointed question now.

Will those humans who have separated from their mothers come back as bandits in the future?

Blue Star is the center of heaven and earth, with endless spiritual veins. No matter how great the external opportunities are, they cannot compare to Blue Star.

Will these people come back to invade Blue Star after thousands of years?

Di Mian smiled and replied: "Struggle is natural, and only through struggle can progress be achieved. If the children who go out to seek growth will eventually defeat us, then we should give up our position."

"Besides, that will happen a long, long time later. At least at this stage, we cannot imprison other people's ideals. The so-called innocence is beyond doubt."

"I see."

The reporter smiled happily and said goodbye. As soon as he left the villa, he was taken away by several monks for investigation.

——————————————

boom!

The person in charge of the interrogation suddenly slapped the table and stared at the reporter in front of him. The formations all over the room were spying on the other person's soul, almost eliminating the possibility of lying.

But again because of the Personal Privacy Act.

For non-criminal crimes, you can only use lie detection, but you cannot directly analyze the other party's thoughts.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in writing these things? Who instigated you?"

The reporter said with a solemn expression: "No one can stop me. I am all for justice. Everyone has the right to pursue the extraordinary."

"What bullshit is fair? The artificial spiritual roots on your body, the spiritual stones in your pocket, and the amulets around your neck, none of them belong to the Immortal Palace? They don't belong to the government."

the interrogator retorted.

The reporter then asked: "Sir, if I want a foundation-building pill, what do I need to break through the foundation-building pill?"

"Three hundred thousand."

When the reporter just shook his head and didn't say anything, the interrogator turned around and said, "Are you trying to say that you can't afford it? Or that normal people can't afford it with their wages? Based on the current salary level in big cities, the minimum salary per month is 13,000. The cost of living is five thousand, and a foundation-building pill takes thirty years."

"But this is the minimum wage, and society provides other high-paying compensation. Generally speaking, it only takes a few years to suffice."

The reporter said: "But most high-paying jobs require a certain level of cultivation. What about us ordinary people? Without artificial spiritual roots, we would not even be able to reach the threshold of these high-paying jobs. Many times, perhaps in the past few years, let A practitioner with a commoner background has missed the best time."

The interrogator said: "The government has loans, and the interest is a bit high, but everything has a price."

"If that's the case, why would someone get resources for free? Because of their talent, because of their background."

The reporter is like an angry young man venting his anger on the Internet. His words are radical and illogical, but for some reason his eyes are as sharp as a falcon.

Wait for your opponent to reveal a flaw before posting it online.

The interrogator said matter-of-factly: "There are differences in the world, and there is never absolute fairness. People are always different because of various opportunities. Today's society is very fair. At least if you have talent, it will not be buried."

The reporter laughed, applauded and said:

"How are you?"

"Yes, we cannot erase the differences in the world, but why are we not allowed to go to the universe to pursue opportunities? Why do the government and the Immortal Palace try their best to stop it?"

"What are you afraid of?"

The interrogator pursed his lips. He was also confused, but he did not answer the question directly. He said: "Is it possible that not everyone wants to be otherworldly? Many people prefer to live a life of one day off, ten in the morning and four in the evening? "

"Please don't corrupt us by seclusion and complacency."

The interrogation was spent with both sides talking with guns and sticks. Due to legal reasons, the reporter was released after being detained for twelve hours.

Today's interview was later posted online.

He is an important propagandist for the Cosmic Faction.

The reporter looked at the screen with joy, looking forward to the overwhelming support. Every time he made a different voice, he always received countless support on the Internet.

But this time, half an hour passed without any reply.

"How is it possible? This is impossible."

The reporter published another article and changed the platform four or five times in a row, but still couldn't make any waves.

He took out his cell phone and sent messages to others, but got no reply.

It’s as if I’ve been ostracized from the Internet.

Later, there was a madman on the street.

In the first hundred years, the cosmic faction was just a niche, and there were factions that liked to cause trouble.

They are like the first people to jump out and proclaim themselves emperors when dynasties change in ancient times. They are stupid and ignorant, and they will inevitably face the full force of the old order. But what they faced was not the end of the dynasty, but a giant behemoth at its peak.

A giant with sound limbs, clear mind, and distant vision, who is in the prime of life.

Xiao Yuntian looked at the list on the table, tapping his fingertips lightly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He wanted to kill them all, but that was going too far, and there was no need to do so.

"Blue Star will be a gentle place for everyone, but please remember, don't leave."

In the 153rd year of the Chinese Era, in order to capture the phaseless air machine far behind the starry sky, a spaceport for the Immortal Boat Fleet began to be established in low-Earth orbit.

In the Chinese era, two hundred years later, the space port was built.

In the 330th year of the Chinese Era, the Buddha Immortal Boat sailed on a long journey. It was expected to move long distances through space methods and reach a galaxy a thousand light years away.

The entire voyage is expected to take one hundred and twenty years.

In the 420th year of the Chinese Era, the Buddha Immortal Boat sent back a message.

[This is the pagoda fairy boat fleet, which successfully captured the phaseless air machine. It is so beautiful, like a star. 】

[It’s incredible, this is a treasure beyond common sense! We are just in contact, and the cultivation level of the fleet has risen to a great level. 】

[And our realm continues to grow]

When the news came back, the entire Blue Star was shocked.

In the 450th year of the Chinese Era, the Buddha Immortal Boat returned successfully.

That day, cheers resounded throughout the sky.

Immortal Palace then invited all monks above Nascent Soul to comprehend together, in order to put an end to everyone's desire to move.

In the 560th year of the Chinese Era, the second expedition began.

This time it was bigger and there were more people.

Because the first batch of cultivators in the local area have basically become gods, and the next step is to achieve Taoism, that is, to become a holy king.

The Immortal Palace realizes that among these large numbers of new gods, their belief in immortals is not as firm as that of heavenly beings.

It is better to block than to open up.

Immortals will definitely not allow them to engage in massacres.

——————————————

Shenzhou, Jade City.

Five hundred years have passed. Human beings have already built cities in low-Earth orbit, and the scenes in science fiction works of the past have been realized, but the cities have not changed much.

It just changed from economical to comfortable.

Many people live in what people called single-family villas hundreds of years ago, and there are many more spaceships in the sky.

Because people have not changed much, and material needs have not changed either.

Today is the funeral of Zhao Si's wife. He personally buried her next to his daughter's cemetery. If you continue to look to the right, you can see the graves of his parents.

In his family, he is the only one left.

But Zhao Si didn't feel too sad because he was already prepared.

After covering the last layer of soil, he looked at Lu Haochu and asked, "Is there any smoke?"

He hasn't smoked in years.

Lu Haochu, who has transformed into a god, took out an electronic cigarette and said: "Smoking is harmful to health, and tobacco was eliminated a hundred years ago. This one can secrete dopamine through biological electric shock, and perfectly realize the taste of tobacco."

Zhao Si complained: "Damn it, everything needs to be technological, right? And I'm a golden elixir cultivator, so this thing can be used as a hammer."

Although he cursed a lot, he still took a few strong puffs, squatted in front of the grave and puffed out smoke.

At this time, an ordinary man walked away holding a bamboo umbrella and a basket of fruits in his hand. He came and lit some incense.

He asked: "Xiaosi, how are you feeling? Well... your condition should be fine."

"Brother Yi, this kind of suffering should only happen once, right?" Zhao Si raised his head and asked.

He looked at the young man's unchanged face and the understatement between his brows, as if nothing could move the young man.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "And my parents."

Zhao Si fell silent immediately. These two were the only elders left after his parents died.

"Uncle Li and Auntie have Brother Yi and you should live longer than me."

"They are not suitable for cultivation, and they will probably end up as Yuanying in the end. I will not force it. Just like back then, I did not agree to extend the life of Kongkong. I will let them live longer than the gods, but that's it. Xiaosi, you If you survive this calamity, you should live longer than them."

Li Yi said, and the look on Zhao Si's face became even more bitter.

He seemed to be complaining, but also seemed to be blaming himself when he said: "Brother Yi, if only you had been tougher at that time. My fault, I forced myself to leave something blank for my own selfish desires."

Zhao Kongkong, his daughter.

She is not suitable for spiritual practice, only suitable for being a mortal. After living for five hundred years and having friends, marriages, and children, he finally committed suicide because he couldn't bear the pain of eternal life.

To be precise, he was stopped by Li Yi and euthanized after obtaining his consent.

Li Yiru said five hundred years ago that he would be a qualified big brother, but not everything would be what Zhao Si wanted.

The meaning of life does not lie in its length. Everyone has an end point. Forcing someone to stay will only hurt their loved ones.

So this time Zhao Si simply let his wife die.

"It's human nature." Lu Haochu consoled him, "It takes more courage to let go. My old man was scolding me before he died."

Zhao Si nodded, and the bitterness on his face quickly disappeared. This was not a sign of forbearance, but a transparency after a great enlightenment.

Lu Haochu looked at Li Yi and hesitated to speak. Before he could say anything, the other party seemed to know what he was going to say.

"The phaseless qi machine can indeed help you achieve enlightenment, but it will also cut off the path to enlightenment. Everything has two sides, and taking shortcuts must come at a cost. If you feel it doesn't matter and don't want enlightenment, you can give it a try."

Lu Haochu bowed his hands and said: "But private exploration is not allowed in the Immortal Palace. Immortal boats and magic weapons that can operate the Taoism of space are strictly controlled."

The monks can use the Space Law to adjust the distance at will, but the Space Law is not available to everyone.

He is now a god, but on the scale of the universe, it may take thousands of years to travel.

Li Yi replied: "The road travels alone, or wait a hundred years, and then Yinghuo will be squeezed into a cave. Xiaoqi and the others are actually okay, and they have not done too much, but after all, they cannot stop the enterprising spirit of all living beings. .”

"Soon, people will no longer be satisfied with relying on the qi brought back by the immortal boat. They are still too young to fight against nothing."

As long as things didn't go beyond the limit, Li Yi didn't want to worry about it. He was already used to it.

As for the imperial crown.

For him, it should be the simplest formlessness, and the other party is very self-aware and has no intention of fighting him head-on.

A hundred years later...

Lu Haochu wrote down this message.

A few years later, he found someone.

Black Jade True Monarch, a great power who was promoted to Holy King after reincarnation, is also a rare space power in the world.

The little black man weighed the other party's reward in his hand and nodded happily.

"Okay, you can use the money to do things, but I think you should stay and listen to the sermons of the immortals. Maybe it will be faster than going to find the phaseless qi machine."

Lu Haochu smiled bitterly: "This is already my limit."

Immortals are never stingy, but rarely show favoritism, and prefer to let nature take its course.

Lu Haochu has been exposed to too much light, which is why he has achieved today's cultivation level. Now that he wants to go further, he can only rely on himself.
