Chapter 602 Changed the Human World (Part 2)
The "Hunyuan Box" is a treasure that was kept in the inner treasury by the Daqi royal family in the past.
It is made of hibiscus wood. It contains the Hunyuan Qi from the edge of the world and has the magical function of helping people travel through time and space.
Previously, the reason why Su Xiao was eager to win the first place in the "Luoshui Conference" was because he hoped to obtain the "Hunyuan Box" and use it to go back to the past and explore the truth about his father's death.
After a while, Han Shunxi held the "Hunyuan Box" and handed it to Gu Xu respectfully.
The wooden box is about the size of a palm, with a smooth and warm texture. Its surface is carved with chaotic lines, which combine to form complex and mysterious patterns, as if it contains endless mysteries.
For ordinary monks, Hunyuan Qi is extremely dangerous.
If you are not careful, a trace of Hunyuan Qi may cut their bodies into countless pieces and scatter them in different worlds - some may even stay in the present and some may be thrown away to the past or future.
But after Gu Xu was promoted to a strong saint, several of his powers were significantly improved, which allowed him to use these Hunyuan Qi with ease.
Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Xu slowly opened the hibiscus wooden box.
His fingers gently penetrated the wooden box and pulled out strands of gray-white mist.
It’s like picking up a piece of white silk, soft and ethereal.
Under the constraints of the authority of "Qiankun", the gray mist did not spread everywhere, but lingered obediently in Gu Xu's hand, like a docile pet.
When Gu Xu gently flipped his palm, the mist seemed to be given life, turning into jumping fish, jumping happily into the formation on the ground, quickly integrating with the flashing light.
After a moment, a palm-sized milky white ball of light slowly rose from the formation. It was like a translucent bubble, floating lightly into the air, and then quietly suspended there. at every turn.
"Su Hui, go and try it!" Gu Xu ordered calmly.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Chen Suhui took two steps forward, carefully stretched out a pale and slender finger, ready to touch the ball of light.
Her expression was slightly nervous, whether she was worried about being injured by the fog or afraid of popping the dreamlike bubble that reflected the sun's rays.
But unexpectedly, when her fingers touched the surface of the light ball, she did not feel any obstruction - it was as if she passed through the air and easily penetrated into the light ball. internal.
The cells in her body instantly became excited, sucking in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the light ball.
Seeing the change of expression on Chen Suhui's face, a satisfied smile appeared on Gu Xu's face.
He knew the experiment had been a success.
However, not long after, his brows could not help but frown again.
The Hunyuan Qi in his hands is too little.
The currently constructed "spiritual energy barrier" cannot accommodate even one cultivator, let alone extend it to the entire wilderness to help all cultivators practice.
"We still need more Hunyuan Qi." He sighed softly and said seriously.
Hearing Gu Xu's words, several people around looked at each other and chose to remain silent.
They all know that Hunyuan Qi only exists at the edge of the world, where dangers abound, and even a strong saint may die.
It is even more difficult and dangerous to bring back a large amount of Hunyuan Qi from there.
Gu Xu glanced at everyone calmly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"In a few days, I will go to the East China Sea myself!"
Hearing his words, everyone around him They couldn't help but look surprised.
The eunuch Han Shunxi immediately bowed to dissuade him and said: "Your Majesty, you are rich in gold, how can you be easily involved in danger? If your Majesty makes a mistake, what will the people of the world do?"
King Jian Ye quickly said: "Your Majesty, this must not be done. Luo Jing still needs you to sit in charge and take charge of the overall situation of the world. Such dangerous matters should be done by us ministers, and you do not need to personally take risks."
Xiao Wanjun hesitated for a moment and wanted to dissuade him.
But Gu Xu waved his hand gently.
"I have already been to the 'Guixu' of the East China Sea once before, so you don't need to worry too much," he said, "What's more, to bring back a large amount of Hunyuan Qi from the East China Sea, we need to understand the laws of space. He has extremely high control power.
“Looking at the entire wilderness, when it comes to the way of space, I am afraid that no one can compare with me.
“Since the monks in the wilderness need me, it is my duty to shoulder this important task.”
"But -" Xiao Wanjun wanted to say more, but was interrupted softly by Gu Xu.
“——You don’t need to persuade me any more,” he said with a calm smile, “To be honest, I am more afraid of death than you think. I used to get up early and practice hard every day, just to be at the age of thirty. Before, he would not be taken away by the Lord of Hell.
"However, the situation is now serious. The Supreme Haotian in the upper world is eyeing the wilderness and may build a new space channel at any time and launch a new round of invasion into the wilderness.
“If we cannot gather enough strength before he arrives, then we will all die and no one will be spared.
“Now, this formation can transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. , is the only hope of life in the wilderness.
"Since I am the only one who is qualified to go to the East China Sea to retrieve the Hunyuan Qi. Then for the peace of the wilderness and my own safety, I must do this."
The words fell. After that, he turned and left.
But after taking a few steps, he turned back and said in a gentle tone: "I have worked really hard on you these days. Everyone, please go back and have a good rest. Han Shunxi, don't forget the rewards for you."< br>
Wang Jian stood there, staring blankly at the young king's leaving figure, with a particularly complicated mood.
The longer he followed Gu Xu, the more he felt that he who had served Emperor Tianxing loyally in the past felt as if his head had been kicked by a donkey.
…………
Gu Xu returned to the study room of Jiangyun Palace.
With the establishment of the new cabinet, his work pressure has been reduced a lot.
Except for some particularly important matters that require personal control of the direction, for the rest of the matters, he only needs to complete the "vote draft" after the cabinet completes the "voting" and then completes the approval in the memorial.
But today, after he sat down behind the desk, he did not immediately read the memorial.
Instead, he took out the booklet he often used to take notes.
Now, the content recorded in this booklet is no longer the past practice methods or ideas for improving talismans and seals, but has become an analysis of the general trend of the world.
He inherited the memories of Emperor Ziwei during his lifetime, and his understanding of the Upper Realm - or the "Lingxiao Realm" far exceeds that of everyone in the wilderness except Luochuan. He knew very well how terrible the overall strength gap between the two worlds was.
The difficulty for Dahuang to defeat the "Lingxiao Realm" is no less than that of a group of weak colonial residents trying to subvert a group of well-equipped powers with powerful ships and guns.
In order to close the gap as soon as possible, Gu Xu has recently been combining the memories of his past and present lives, thinking hard day and night.
On the one hand, he needs to cultivate to the ninth level as soon as possible, and he must not lose to Taishang Haotian in terms of the strongest combat power;
On the other hand, he also has to find a way Improve the strength of other cultivators - If Taishang Haotian has also reached the ninth level, and there is a stalemate between him and Taishang Haotian, then the key to determining the balance of victory and defeat lies in the other cultivators.
In addition, Gu Xu recently discovered that the power of incense that practitioners can provide to him is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Moreover, the higher the cultivation level of the practitioner, the more powerful the incense provided.
This makes Gu Xu, in the booklet, "benchmark the Lingxiao world, comprehensively build a new ecology of the Great Wilderness Cultivation World, implement the spiritual energy transformation formation, open up the information barrier, run quickly in small steps, iterate quickly, and develop "Strengthening a set of combo punches, giving back to empower ordinary practitioners, and winning the must-win battle in the future" is positioned as one of Dahuang's current primary goals.
In Daxia's first five-year plan, Gu Xu set these goals:
First, strive to break through to the eighth realm;
Second, cultivate at least one more A strong man at the level of a saint;
Thirdly, it ensures that the top geniuses in the country can make full use of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice.
……
When Gu Xu lowered his head and meditated, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in front of him, and then quickly spread around, turning into a clear light curtain.
Shen Qiu's figure suddenly appeared on the light screen.
Wearing a big red robe and a black gauze hat, he was seen standing in a local government office, bowing his hands towards Gu Xu and saluting: "Shen Qiu, a humble minister, pays homage to your majesty!"
Witnessed Seeing this scene in front of him, Gu Xu couldn't help but secretly sigh. Compared with the ancient times in his previous life, in this spiritual world full of extraordinary power, it was much easier to govern the country.
For example, this formation with remote communication capabilities has greatly enhanced his ability to control all parts of the country. Through it, he is able to communicate with officials across the country, make decisions quickly, and effectively respond to various emergencies.
"How are you handling the matter in Jinling?" Gu Xu asked.
Shen Qiu reported truthfully.
He knew that the majesty in front of him possessed a magic weapon that could see into all things in the wilderness, and he was disgusted with the behavior of his ministers talking nonsense in front of him and wasting his time.
Therefore, Shen Qiu only made a brief summary of the general process of the matter, and focused the narrative on the small details that were easily overlooked.
“…Your Majesty, Wei Chen recently reviewed Jinling Shen’s industry and found that they have five cold crystal ore mines under their name. However, due to previous over-exploitation, there are now four mines with resources close to Depleted. Cold crystal ore is already very precious, and in recent years, with the increase in demand, the price has been soaring..."
Gu Xu listened carefully to Shen Qiu's report and couldn't help but frown slightly.
He knew that this cold crystal ore was one of the main materials for refining the "Dingling Pill".
The "Dingling Pill" is a necessary item for fourth realm monks to break through to the fifth realm.
Although after the formation method of transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became popular, monks no longer need pills whether for daily practice or realm breakthrough.
But that day is still far away.
The current cost of creating a "spiritual barrier" is too high, and the difficulty of obtaining "Hunyuan Qi" is too great. Even if Gu Xu goes to the end of the East China Sea every day, he still cannot meet the cultivation needs of all the monks in the wilderness. .
Allowing a small group of geniuses to practice in a spiritual environment is already the limit of what can be achieved currently.
Therefore, the production of elixirs is still necessary.
The shortage of cold crystal ore is destined to affect the improvement of the realm of intermediate practitioners in the future.
"What should we do?" Gu Xu thought carefully.
Unknowingly, Emperor Ziwei's past memories reappeared in his mind.
He remembered that one of the important reasons why Emperor Ziwei and Taishang Haotian chose to cross the world barrier and explore the endless void after taking control of the upper realm was that they followed the upper realm. As the number of cultivators in the world continues to increase, various resources become increasingly scarce.
Practice in the upper realm, although you don’t need to use pills to prevent yourself from going crazy, but you still need a lot of herbs to temper your blood, minerals to refine magic weapons, spiritual springs to increase the probability of enlightenment, etc., and even some There are many monks who pursue rare things such as "Drunken Dream Stone" and "Albizia Julibrissin" that are purely for enjoyment.
Tai Shang Haotian and Emperor Zi Wei want to open up a different world, so as to use the resources of the new world to feed back the "Lingxiao World".
The Great Wilderness was the first new world the two of them arrived at.
When the two-realm passage in Kunlun Mountain still existed, Taishang Haotian often sent envoys to the wilderness to collect large amounts of resources.
"Thousands of years have passed since the breakup between Taishang Haotian and Emperor Ziwei," Gu Xu thought silently in his heart, "With the development speed of Lingxiao Realm, maybe Taishang Haotian Several new worlds have been discovered in the endless void.
“And now, they are probably moving resources from those new worlds back to their home base.
“Perhaps, after we have more powerful True Lords in the wilderness world, we can also follow their example and try to explore new worlds, otherwise it will be difficult for us to catch up with their pace...”< br>
…………
at the same time.
After being kicked out of Zichen Palace, the life of the former queen Chen Anzhi was not pleasant.
She originally wanted to join her family and stay warm with the survivors of the Chen family in Xiangyang.
However, the Chen family, who had respected her so much in the past, now regarded her as a hot potato. They did not want to have anything to do with the widow of Emperor Tianxing, and refused with various excuses. Chen Anzhi's request.
Chen Anzhi felt extremely resentful about this.
After she married into the royal family, she worked hard for the interests of the family day and night, but in the end she was ruthlessly abandoned by these white-eyed wolf tribe members.
With no choice but to bring a few belongings from the palace, and with the help of her personal maid Yuanyang, she rented half a small courtyard in the suburbs of Luojing City.
Before and after the Battle of Luojing, a large number of refugees poured into Luojing City.
Now with the establishment of the new dynasty, the situation has gradually stabilized. Most people have returned to their hometowns, while the remaining few people still stay in Luojing, looking for opportunities to make a living.
Currently, one such family lives in the same courtyard as Chen Anzhi.
Chen Anzhi has lived a pampered and respectable life since he was a child.
After entering the palace, there are servants to serve you in everything.
For example, when she is washing, she does not need to bend down or raise her hands, and the maids and eunuchs will take good care of her.
During this process, the maids and eunuchs were not allowed to raise their heads and look directly at the queen, otherwise they would be punished.
Chen Anzhi's palace life refers to the experience of serving the queen Wanrong in the memoirs of the last eunuch Sun Yaoting.
