metaverse evolution.

[Thanks to "Book Friend 20220905091511567" for reminding me that I have been writing a little too much recently. The Starry Secret Realm is just an embellishment, temporarily just to let Chu Fei know and contact the high-dimensional world. Now there are too many plots. I reorganized the outline yesterday. ]

At 20:56, Chu Fei and his four companions arrived at the bottom of the Starry Secret Realm and found the Adventure Hall’s headquarters.

At this time, there were dazzling lights on the ground, which illuminated the sky, but they could not illuminate the "dark clouds" rolling in the sky.

At this time, the dark clouds had faint tentacle-like mist dancing in them, which made people feel numb.

Unlike observing from a distance, when looking up close, you can even see the turbulent void around the "dark clouds", like waves on the water.

Countless people are discussing that the state of the Starry Secret Realm this year has some special features.

Yin Shihao received Chu Fei. After receiving 2.4 liters of % quality primary immortality potion, he could not help but exclaim, "I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I know that high-level potions can be calculated by liters.

The master's ability to refine medicine puts many 13.0 alchemists to shame."

Chu Fei shrugged: "I just happen to have some talent in potions, and these potions have been studied by our predecessors for a long time, and the technology is very mature. By the way, are you sure this Starry Secret Realm is normal now?"

Yin Shihao handed the medicine to his men and asked them to package it. Facing Chu Fei's question, his face became serious, "The situation is still under discussion, but it does feel abnormal now.

Now we believe that there is a high probability that the Starry Secret Realm brought back some passengers from a higher-dimensional world or dimension.

But don't worry, similar situations have occurred in previous years, and we have countermeasures. If you want to invade our world, be prepared to be killed."

Chu Fei: "I see. Then I feel relieved. I will take my leave now."

Yin Shihao smiled and said, "Aren't you going to visit the Starry Secret Realm?"

Chu Fei: "I wanted to go, but looking at the current situation, I'd better not go and cause trouble."

It is important for people to know themselves. Chu Fei had originally planned to go to the outer circle of the Star Secret Realm to take a look, but given the current situation, it is better not to go any further.

You can't get involved in what's happening in the Starry Secret Realm.

So, Chu Fei, who arrived at the scene, ran back with the three guardians.

The three guardians all breathed a sigh of relief. In the current situation, the Starry Secret Realm should indeed be kept at a distance.

After returning to the Potion Hall, Chu Fei was ready to continue his retreat and practice. However, at this moment, the image of a kind old man suddenly appeared in Chu Fei's mind.

Chu Fei was suddenly shocked. How could someone invade my consciousness?
If this person were to kill me, it would be as easy as crushing an ant!
A faint "voice" echoed in Chu Fei's consciousness: "Don't worry, my friend, come to the underground black market Cross Star at the auction house tomorrow morning to find me."

Chu Fei took a deep breath, kept himself calm, and used his consciousness to transmit his voice: "I wonder what your name is, senior? What's the matter?"

"Old Master Lin Baiyu."

After saying this, the old man disappeared.

Lin Baiyu!!! Chu Fei almost jumped up.

However, after concentrating his consciousness for a long time, there was no response.

When I opened my eyes, I suddenly found myself in a cold sweat. This situation had never happened since I reached level 10.0.

What kind of ability is it to be able to project consciousness into other people's consciousness space?
Chu Fei thought about it for a while, but found no answer. This was an area of ​​knowledge that Chu Fei had never been exposed to before.

The name "Lin Baiyu" had been heard once by Wu Yong; according to Wu Yong's previous statement, he was a fortune teller who instructed Wu Yong to go east to the edge of civilization.

Thinking of this, Chu Fei finally remembered that his cheap master Wu Yong lived next door, so he immediately visited Wu Yong.

Wu Yong was still meditating, and although his body was severely deformed, he was not in a hurry.

Chu Fei knew that this was a secret, so he did not speak, but wrote on a piece of white paper: "Master, an old man appeared in my consciousness space just now. He called himself Lin Baiyu and asked me to go find him tomorrow morning."

There was also a simple sketch on the paper. Although it was a bit abstract, it still gave a rough idea of ​​Lin Baiyu's image.

Looking at the words and pictures on the white paper, Wu Yong fell into thought. He was silent for about five or six seconds, then he took out a pen and paper and started writing. "I almost gave up when I was escaping. It was Senior Lin Baiyu who guided me and made me head east. That's how Shuguang College came into being.

My feeling at the time about Lin Baiyu was that he didn't seem like a bad person, but he must have something to ask for, and he had a big secret and a big cause and effect.

Now it seems that the cause and effect has fallen on you."

Chu Fei sighed and asked, "Master, we should be inland now, right? How do we obtain the follow-up of the Dawn Technique? Can you tell me?"

Wu Yong was silent for a while, and continued writing: "Since Lin Baiyu came to me, I will tell you about my situation. With your current influence and ability, you should be able to give it a try."

Then Wu Yong said: "This matter involves the three major factions. I thought it was too simple before. It was not until Lin Baiyu showed up that I dared to say it, or it was not until now that you had the opportunity to obtain the Dawn Technique.

In the inland, after the collapse of the Yanhuang Federation thousands of years ago, there was actually a backup plan. This backup plan was the four major cultivation academies plus a space city to ensure the development of subsequent civilization and leave behind seeds of hope.

The four major colleges are:

Qingyun College, Changhong College, Qixing College, and Yunlong College.

The educational backgrounds of these four colleges are aristocracy, chaebol, academic institutions, and public colleges.

Yunlong College is a public college and the most powerful. Moreover, the secret realm of Yunlong College is the most special. It is a place similar to the secret realm of stars, traveling between the inner world and the surface world. Through the transit base in the inner world, it can achieve rapid contact with other planets, and it can travel back and forth once a month.

The city in space is Lingyun City."

Having written this, Wu Yong turned the page.

Chu Fei's mind was already exploding, exploding with countless thoughts. The doubts in the past were solved, but there were also more shocks and more questions.

Then Qingyun College, Changhong College, and Qixing College, aren't these the three major colleges? How did they evolve from colleges to what they are now?
Lingyun City is a space city, right? How did it become a sky city?
This also explains a problem - Wu Yong knows too much. Often, just a few words can explain Chu Fei's doubts. Wu Yong is probably from Yunlong College, is he the last "dean" of Yunlong College?
And as expected, Wu Yong's Dawn Technique was extremely difficult to obtain. Thanks to his early encounter with Shangguan Qinghong, he gained relevant knowledge about the gravitational core, and now his cultivation foundation has also changed.

Also, according to what Wu Yong said, he decided to tell these things after Lin Baiyu showed up. Who is Lin Baiyu? Obviously, he is not just a simple fortune teller. Wu Yong did not tell the truth before!

While Chu Fei was thinking, Wu Yong continued writing:

"Just like the law of increasing entropy, everything will always develop in a worse direction. Without the management and control of the Federation, as the first group of people left, things quickly slid into the abyss.

Although Qingyun, Changhong and Qixing academies were jointly established by aristocrats, chaebols and academics, they were initially subject to federal supervision and even sent instructors.

After the end of the world, the four major academies and the space city faced the crisis together. Everyone contributed a lot and should have had no selfish motives at the time.

But as time went by, changes gradually appeared.

First of all, there is the Space City. Because the end of the world caused a large amount of space equipment to be damaged, forming unimaginable space debris, the Space City had to lower its altitude, forming the current Lingyun Empty City.

Then, as the initial members of the three major colleges of Qingyun, Changhong, and Qixing died one after another, either in battle or from old age, the new generation gradually began to develop ambitions. There has never been a shortage of ambitious people in this world.

In fact, Yunlong College is similar, but a little better.

What followed was an academic competition that lasted for hundreds of years. The final winner took over the three major academies of Qingyun, Changhong and Qixing, and then developed bit by bit over hundreds of years, eventually forming the current academic clique.

Because Yunlong College is a public college and has always enrolled a large number of students from ordinary families, it has maintained stability in the chaos and seems to be even stronger.

But this stability is actually just a balance in various aspects, and this balance is not solid.

It looks strong, but what is strong is not its inner strength, but the number of people. And because the students have mixed backgrounds, Yunlong Academy is full of internal conflicts.

The apocalyptic environment, coupled with the internal strife among the various factions, has laid the seeds for the demise of Yunlong Academy.

Later, under the erosion of the other three major factions, the internal conflicts of Yunlong College completely turned into infighting, which was completely irreconcilable and even led to the situation of hiring killers.

Under these circumstances, Yunlong College gradually declined, and gradually, the school even had to run various miscellaneous businesses to barely make ends meet.

Students and teachers began to do mercenary missions, adventurer missions, and even joined other business groups. Such a college was doomed to fail in the long run.

More than 14.0 years ago, the last master in the academy died, and the remaining three major factions finally showed their fangs.

After persisting for a few years, Yunlong Academy completely disappeared.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and under the joint blockade of the three major factions, the name of Yunlong College no longer exists. The former No. 1 College has become history.

The ruins of Yunlong Academy, together with the secret realm, now have a new name: Tianmo Ruins.

Hehe, the academy that once carried the hope of the end of the world has become the ruins of the devil!!!"

The tip of the pen scratched the paper, and one could feel Wu Yong's inner unrest.

After a while, Wu Yong continued writing: "Strictly speaking, the three academies of Qingyun, Changhong, and Qixing have long since become history. What remains is just an empty shell, and there is no trace of what was once there."

Chu Fei looked at the full page of content, feeling indescribably melancholy. It was obvious that the Yanhuang Federation had made arrangements to deal with the end of the world, but no matter how ingenious the arrangements were, they could not withstand the long years.

Thinking of this, Chu Fei also wrote a response: "I feel that the Yanhuang Federation might not have thought that the end of the world would last for a thousand years."

Wu Yong: "Yes, it is said that it will take 200 years to restore the city. Now it seems that 2,000 years is not enough. Let me finish my explanation before you ask any more questions."

Chu Fei nodded.

Wu Yong continued writing: "The four major academies all have their own fundamental skills and corresponding magical weapons.

Qingyun Academy, it is the "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique" and the Divine Sword: Thunder;
Changhong Academy, is the "Moon in the Clouds" and the magic sword: Moonlight;
The Seven Stars Academy is the "Northern Dipper Technique" and the Divine Sword: Purple Star;
Yunlong Academy, it's the "Dawn Skills", and the Divine Sword: Dusk.

Each of these four exercises is perfect and can be practiced to a level of 16.0, and will leave a perfect foundation.

But the higher the level of the technique, the more difficult and demanding it is to practice. In the process of internal strife and power transfer in the first three colleges, the high-level techniques were lost.

Today, the Dawn Technique is probably the only advanced technique on this planet. It was one of the top techniques jointly completed by the educational institutions, scientific research institutions, and cultivation institutions of the Yanhuang civilization.

The reason why advanced skills are lost is that there are strict restrictions on the inheritance of skills.

You have come into contact with many half-finished skills before. The skills that everyone gets from the secret realm can only be practiced to 10.0. In fact, it is the same in the four major academies.

Only if you practice to a level of 20 before the age of 9.0, preferably 10.0, and then pass the exam, will you be qualified for the trial. Only if you pass the trial will you obtain subsequent skills.

The subsequent inheritance of the exercises involves the use of high-dimensional encryption techniques, which inject the content directly into the space of consciousness, which can only be understood but not expressed in words.

In fact, it is just like your personal feeling of the temperature of water, but it is difficult for you to accurately describe your feelings through words, data, etc. The temperature of water felt by others is not exactly the same as yours. This is even more true in spiritual practice.

The skills injected into the consciousness space can be told to others, but it is basically impossible to replicate them 100%.

There are many copies of this kind of technique that have been reproduced through oral transmission circulating in the market, but a slight mistake can lead to a huge error. You can look for it on the black market; it should be easy to find.

Because of this reason, the three major academies of Qingyun, Changhong and Qixing lost their top-level skills.

A large part of the reason why the three major colleges were able to become the three major factions today is due to the research on martial arts.

But in the end times, knowledge inheritance has already been a problem, and it is not easy to study top-level skills on this basis. It can even be said that there is basically no hope.

So, only Yunlong Academy is left.

Yunlong Academy has a dimensional space that can travel back and forth to the other worlds and can connect to other planets. It has complete skills and a magic sword, but it has declined. The result is doomed. "

After the page was filled, Wu Yong turned the page again and continued writing:

“I don’t know the process of how the top-level skills of the three major colleges were lost, and this kind of thing is generally not publicized.

In Yunlong Academy, the inheritance of martial arts after 10.0 requires entering the dimensional space to undergo trials.

The secret realm of Yunlong Academy is called the "Secret Realm of the Heart Demon", or the "Secret Realm of the Heavenly Demon" or the "Secret Realm of the Heavenly Demon's Heart Refining". This is a dimensional space with heavenly demons. The heavenly demons are somewhat similar to ghosts, but not as dangerous.

However, the devil goes straight into the heart. Even a 16.0 expert cannot break into the secret realm of the inner devil if his state of mind is not up to standard.

Only after passing the Heavenly Demon Heart Refining could one obtain the qualification for inheritance. Otherwise, even if the inheritance base was destroyed, it would not work.

The first inheritance only extends to before 14.0, and you have to pass a trial to open the second inheritance, which is only for 14.0 and later. The second inheritance is more difficult than the first one.

Now Yunlong College has been controlled by the three major factions. If you want to enter it, you can only borrow Lin Baiyu's power. Therefore, I will not tell you this until Lin Baiyu appears, otherwise it will only cause trouble."

Chu Fei suddenly realized and immediately wrote, "Then how did Master escape in the first place?"

“At that time, the three great factions surrounded Yunlong College, and I had to enter the first level trial area. In the end, I failed the trial and left through the emergency passage.

But because I failed the trial, I was invaded by the demon and became what I am now.

There is a spare advanced healing device in the trial area, but you need to clear the level before you can activate the device. "

Chu Fei nodded and wrote quickly: "I see. But I have a question, aren't the three great families afraid of the supervisors?"

Wu Yong: "You have met Shangguan Qinghong. Have you ever wondered why Shangguan Qinghong did not come to our world, but returned with Longmen Secret Realm?"

Chu Fei seemed to be thinking about something.

Wu Yong: "The impact of the high-dimensional world on us has far exceeded the Yanhuang Federation's estimates back then, and many things have collapsed.

At that time, Yunlong Academy's Heart Demon Secret Realm could travel back and forth between the inner world and the outer world once a month. Experts could use this channel to travel back and forth between the inner world and the outer world.

But later, for unknown reasons, no more masters appeared. Some people suspected that the battle line in the other world had retreated, or some other problem had occurred.

But when I leave, I can reach the transit base through the Heart Demon Secret Realm, and then go to other planets through similar secret realms."

Chu Fei: "But I heard that anyone who reaches a cultivation level of 16.0 will be taken away and enter the inner world. How were these people taken away?"

"He was forced to leave, not taken away. In Lingyun Empty City, there is a one-way 'dimensional passage'.

In fact, when the cultivation reaches 14.0, one should leave. But no one is willing to give up the comfortable life at present. The realm of 14.0 is the emperor here, but in the other world it is just a pawn crossing the river.

But the supervisors have a way. For those who do not leave after 16.0, their fate will be changed. Both personal and family fate will be changed and strengthened step by step.

If you insist on not leaving, sooner or later your luck will run out and you will die.

If you leave, the overseers will reward you with luck and a large number of descendants."

It turned out that he was forced to leave. Chu Fei understood, and many things could be explained clearly. It was the end of the world, and he had finally cultivated to 14.0 or even 16.0. Who would want to have someone watching over him?

However, when heading inland, Chu Fei thought that Wu Yong's so-called Dawn Skill after 10.0 would not be so easy to obtain. Now it seems that he thought too simply.

While thinking, Chu Fei asked again: "The Yunlong Academy's technique is called the Dawn Technique, so why is the magic sword called "Dusk"? "

Wu Yong wrote slowly: "My dawn is your dusk."

Chu Fei:......

I always feel like there's something else behind what you said.

Chu Fei asked again: "Who is Lin Baiyu?"

Wu Yong: "It's hard to explain it in a few words. Just go and ask him. Don't worry, it's not dangerous. I still need you to help me treat the deformity."

Chu Fei: "To inherit the skills, you must reach level 20 before the age of 9.0. This should be easy. But I remember that it seems to say that you can't drink potions or something."

Wu Yong: "There are mainly two considerations. One is the problem of distortion, and the other is character. For people who grow up taking potions, it is difficult for their character to pass the test of the inner demon."

Chu Fei: "The Heart Demon Secret Realm should be the Heaven Demon, right? Why is the official name the Heart Demon Secret Realm, not the Heaven Demon Secret Realm?"

"If the mind is perfect, the demons cannot invade. They are called demons, but they are also demons in the heart. Using the name "Demons in the Heart" is also a warning to future generations. If you want to defeat the demons in the sky, you must first overcome the demons in the heart."

Simple words, but Chu Fei benefited a lot. Then Chu Fei asked: "Master, what is your real name?"

Wu Yong: "It's just a name. Just a name is enough. Right now the outside world doesn't know that I'm alive."

Chu Fei said "oh", asked some small questions, and then said goodbye to Wu Yong. He felt... indifferent.

As for the Shuguang technique, it would be nice to have it, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t have it. I don’t need it that much right now. (End of this chapter)
