Chapter 937 The road to the sky (8200, ask for a monthly ticket~)

Ian is also very curious about what the opponent's path is, but for now, let's look at the development conference first.

None of the people who could come to search for the steeple were screened out. After all, Kerizien did not intend to embarrass others, but to ensure that no fish in troubled waters came in.

Even the second energy level without psionic energy like Isengard, after practicing meditation, has enough spiritual power, and can directly enter the subspace with his own power.

In the subspace, there is a huge lecture hall, even larger than the entire floating island, enough to accommodate more than a million people. The hall presents a conch-like structure. The speaker is at the bottom, but the words can be layered on top of each other. No attenuation up to the topmost layer.

It is difficult to appear in a real architectural structure, but in the subspace, the junction of the material world and the virtual world, it can be shaped with spiritual matter and imagination.

The envoys and researchers from various countries chose an area to sit down. After all, the hall is really very big. Even if there is a follow-up stage of Terra's unique researcher's full martial arts, it can ensure that when the two sides fight, others will have time to set up a defense line.

In fact, the teams of the three old powers, the Empire, the Royal Court of Heaven, and Yanjiang, have already begun to set up defense lines, raising walls and sandbags to guard against possible attacks from all directions.

"Shouldn't they really fight?"

Ian and Isengard sat in a relatively rear area, away from those big forces, to avoid blood splashing on their bodies, but Ian was still a little hard to understand: "Is this a group paper conference? Are you going to fight?"

"It's normal."

On the contrary, Isengard is not surprised: "When you publish your research results, some people will find faults, doubts, and misinterpretations - although I don't think this kind of situation should happen in the capital of learning, after all, there is the road builder, the first person. The fifth energy level is watching, but... it really appears, are you planning to reason, or are you planning to let the other party understand the truth?"

This is the truth.Ian thought about it, and felt it was true: "You should stand closer, when the time comes to really fight, I will directly support the crystal shield with the strength of the steel dragon."

Facts have proved that Ian's worry was a little too much, or that the psyker's self-control is stronger than the average Terran. After the official lecture, everyone sat quietly in their seats and listened.

The first person to preach was Yanjiang's psionic master, Song Sangpo.He looks like a young man with black hair and purple eyes. In fact, he is over 70 years old, but he is very strong and handsome, just like a young fitness model on the earth-this is very suitable for his subject, because Yanjiang The subject is 'methods and misunderstandings of improving spiritual energy through physical practice'.

Master Sangbo’s subject is very simple. He and his research team determined through long-term comparisons that people with sound or even strong bodies will also increase their mental strength. If it is a perfect body obtained through continuous exercise, In addition to giving birth to strong confidence in one's own body, people can also effectively increase the growth speed of the soul.

He uploaded a video comparison: three groups of people, initially all skinny and poor, with evasive eyes.One group provided a healthy and nutritious diet and exercised scientifically;

Five years later, all the people in the first group have become muscular men with strong bodies, at least well-proportioned, energetic, healthy people, and very confident.Although the second group of people are average in physique, they are not bad in spirit.As for the third group of people, they were still the same as before, but their expressions were a little calmer.

"Those who have been fully exercised and sharpened their spirit, even if they have not become a sublimator, there is still a trace of the soul in the body. I named it 'spiritual seed'. , the 'seed of soul' bred by reading books!"

Sangbo said loudly: "Facts have proved that there are many heritages in our bodies. The transformation of the bodies of all people by the pre-epoch civilization is very effective. They are only the last step away from the 'extraordinary ascension' where the souls of the people are spontaneously conceived. We only need to pick up With this step, we can recast the glory!"

"Based on this, more than [-]% of the members of the first group with the 'spiritual seeds' have awakened their spiritual powers after undergoing arduous training—I believe this is the method with the highest awakening rate of spiritual powers in all of Terra !"

After Master Sangbo finished, the audience was silent, and Ian was the first to applaud—the sound of a real dragon applauding was deafening, followed by applause one after another.

Ian applauded from the bottom of his heart, because Master Sangbo's subject was more perfect than he imagined.

Without man-made souls, according to perfect training and spiritual cultivation, people can spontaneously conceive the seeds of souls... In this way, even if you don't practice in the future, you only need to take potions, and the souls will be conceived and born in advance.

As for the subsequent arduous training to produce spiritual power, Ian was noncommittal.The hardships in Yanjiang are really tough. It is continuous exercise that lasts for 20 days at every turn, waterfall washing beyond the physical limit, and magma walking on foot. The so-called [-]% success rate must also have moisture. It is definitely in Yanjiang. Bian selected some 'spiritual energy seeds' to cultivate in advance, so there is such a high awakening rate.

But even so, it was remarkable.

Ian was very satisfied, but others obviously had doubts, and as expected, a researcher from the Seven Cities Alliance questioned: "Leaving aside other things, the conditions of the first group are too good - the top resource allocation, the country Research and development of scientific exercises for real-time follow-up, as well as special cultural classes and reading time... ordinary noble families can't maintain such conditions!"

This is an objective fact: even aristocratic families seldom have a perfect nutritional ration, and it is even more impossible for someone to track and optimize the results of exercise all the time. As for cultural classes and reading time... I can only say that even if reading is the only promotion There are also people who are unwilling to study, not to mention that it seems that reading is not the only way for Terra today?

In addition, there are still many doubts. For example, the food control in the second group is not very sufficient, because you can’t eat so much nutrition without exercising, so you should design more control groups; The spirit seed itself represents outstanding talent and so on...

Master Sangbo patiently answered one by one at the beginning, but was soon stimulated by these nitpicking questions and sneered again and again: "At least the compatriots created by my method will be inclined to us, not to you. The experimental products created by this group of people are equally opposite!"

Even so, there was no fight, and Master Sangbo exited the stage quite gracefully.

He didn't explain the technical details, but just announced his ideas to everyone - using the transformed body of the Terrans, adequate nutrition, and studying all day, so that both the body and the spirit can be perfected, even if they don't become sublimators, It is also possible to conceive a soul, and then try to awaken psionic energy.

As for how to cultivate, it is a confidential detail.

In the final analysis, the development conference is just a way to share ideas, to avoid duplication of research by countries and waste of resources.

After Yanjiang, there is Feiyan Land—their topic is simpler and more direct, which is soul compensation.

Without hesitation and concealment, they produced a large amount of bloody research materials and maps, proving that soul compensation does exist.

As long as it is the holder of an artificial soul, even if it is an old man, as long as he has an acquired disability and maintains it through a specific diet and alchemy potion, his wounded soul will not wither, but will grow stronger. By absorbing vitality, it will form a general effect similar to "life spirit energy".

Psychic power, soul limbs, possession, ghost hands, ghost touch, spiritual eyes... Most of the awakened psychic powers fall into this category.

Although the ability is fixed, the probability of awakening psionic energy... exceeds 80.00%!

"...This is already a threat."

At this moment, Isengard frowned. Although he was bullied by the imperial delegation, it didn't mean he didn't love the empire. He listened and said solemnly: "Now Terra's spiritual equipment technology is not low. Look over there The Spiritual Tool Order, they obviously cooperate with Flameland on this technology."

Ian had also discovered it a long time ago. In fact, wasn't it the Spiritual Weapons Cult who explored the South China Sea Great Labyrinth with Feiyandi?Moreover, the Spiritual Tool Order does advocate short flesh and blood, and mechanical ascension, and the "soul compensation" theory of Flame Land can allow them to peel off the fragile flesh and blood step by step, and contain a powerful soul, and even finally produce a person with powerful psychic power. , the existence of a mechanical body!
This is their purpose, the ultimate 'spiritual weapon ascension'!
"It is indeed a way." He whispered: "Although it is very superficial, the Spiritual Weapon Order has indeed formed the embryonic form of its own way... No wonder the Dragon King is so optimistic about them."

He began to feel that it was very worthwhile to participate in this Psychic Development Conference—perhaps because of the World War, all parties have come up with quite valuable research.

But why?
That's why Ian was puzzled.

Obviously these countries are hostile, why do they really take out the things and ideas in the bottom box?
Even if there is no core technology, the idea is very important. In many cases, other countries do not have the background and resources, but just do not have the idea-sweat and inspiration, in fact, inspiration is more important.

"My compatriots."

And at this time, the speaker of the third topic came on stage. This is an old man who looks like a shaman, from the Nine Cold Federation. Her topics are "Psychic Ability Upgrade" and "Shaping Psychic Ability". It is to transform the spiritual energy structure inside one's soul through various methods, and to sublimate the spiritual energy. It is an evolution based on the potion technology, and extends the true bloodline enhancement brought by the potion to the spiritual energy.

Very classical research directions are not uncommon. It can even be said that all countries have similar research projects.

However, the phrase 'compatriots' woke Ian up.

Before, Master Sangbo also said this sentence when communicating with other doubters.

And the meaning of this sentence...

Ian raised his head and looked around at everyone present.

And everyone has spiritual powers.

"Psyker..."

Ian muttered to himself: "This is an internal meeting of psykers... This is not purely academic research, it is a development and research conference of 'psykers' scattered among the countries!"

"Only psykers are compatriots?"

【indeed so】

At this moment, Kerizin's voice rang in Ian's ear: [Not only psykers, but 50.00% of those invited here are 'chosen ones']

[Sounds incredible?But the Chosen Ones are indeed blessed. As long as they develop steadily, they can definitely become strong and advanced scholars, just like these technicians in front of you, they are the hope for Terra to enter a new era in the future]

[The Chosen Ones and Psykers can be called New Humans.In order for everyone to become psykers and become our compatriots, we will naturally work together and cooperate with all our strength, regardless of nationality, organization and even conflicts of belief]

【Because, these things are all shaped by the day after tomorrow... and our spiritual talents are endowed by the truth before all things】

"What is your purpose?"

Frowning, Ian quickly saw Kerizin's figure in the front row, and he just turned his head at this moment, and looked at Ian, his sapphire-like eyes were full of pure curiosity and enthusiasm. joy.

He did not answer Ian's question, but continued to listen carefully to the speech on the stage.

But Ian fell into great doubts.

Obviously, similar psyker development conferences have lasted for more than one round, or even more than a few decades-it has become a routine.

Didn't the countries of Terra respond?Psykers from all over the world have almost independently become another organization. Don't they respond?

But Ian suddenly thought of another fact.

There are several kinds of spiritual energy, one of which is 'life spiritual energy'.

In other words... the ascensionists beyond the third energy level are all psykers.

Compared with the "True Form of Bloodline" that requires a lot of resources to train and supplement with potions, it is also a choice to choose spiritual energy that seeks from the heart. It is no wonder that Yanjiang's plan is questioned, because a lot of resources are consumed in order to awaken the spiritual energy It's meaningless, wouldn't it be the same to buy a potion with the money?

But even so, Ian believes that even the "supernatural ascension" where all the people become psykers is definitely not the real goal of Kruizen.

Moreover, definitely not everyone agrees with his plan.

As for now, he listens first.

At the same time, the capital of learning.

Seek the Spire, the Material World, and Kritzen's study.

The two sides faced each other, and in the infinitely looping corridor of mirrors, two other thin figures of scholars with blue eyes emerged.

[What do you think of those young people] Kerizin on the left said: [Their research has indeed made a great breakthrough]

[Their research is going deep into the essence of psionic power] Kryzen on the right nodded with a smile: [But we already knew the answer]

[This is not a bad thing] Kerizin on the left chuckled and said: [The deeper their research, the deeper and stronger our foundation will be]

[They are already the most elite group of psionic scholars in the world who are inclined to us] The right side sighed: [Of course, there are still a group of more talented people who have not come... For example, Ian Yinfeng. 】

Although the two Kerizen were also road builders, they didn't know that Kerizen had discovered that Ian was Mahdi—they did not share information, so they could communicate 'with themselves'.

[This is necessary] Said on the left: [We must leave a group of seeds that can understand our way, otherwise, they will have to rebuild the way again, which is a waste of time and wisdom]

【yes】

At this moment, the two directors, Kerizin, turned their heads and looked out of the study.

[That's why we have to leave the gate of the silver sky, so that someone can walk on the road we forged]

The capital of learning, the central pedestal.

The innermost part of the large library.

[Krizien has crossed the line, he is paving his own path with the background and fame of the capital of knowledge]

The silver figure is located in a wide hall, which is completely composed of silver fine solution, but if you look carefully, you can find that these 'solutions' are not water or other liquids, but are constantly moving, smooth and fine like water. metal polymer.

A silver-white human figure stood in the center of countless silver solutions, and stated to the silver hall: [He ignored the ultimatum we left behind, chose to go his own way, and activated the gate of the silver sky-according to the agreement, we must take action 】

【...What is his purpose...】

Responding to the voice of the silver figure, the entire hall shook, and countless silver metal dust began to condense, condensing one face after another, and each face was very familiar to the residents of the City of Knowledge, because they were all in the City of Knowledge in the past dynasties The chief bachelor of the university, as well as outstanding scholars who have received awards.

All the faces are gathered together, like pixels, vaguely constructing a huge and hazy human face that cannot be seen clearly.

'Great Library' said: [Pioneering needs to take risks, this is not crossing the line]

【His purpose is to present the most elite psykers in all of Terra. No matter what his purpose is, these psykers will never return——I have foreseen that kind of future, the steeple is desolate, the hall is silent, and the search The road is empty]

The silver figure "Guardian of the Great Library" said: [He will make the capital of knowledge a target of public criticism, and everyone will see the road that should not exist. During this war, the capital of knowledge should not be the focus of the world 】

[This threatens the preservation and inheritance of knowledge. I propose to deprive Kerizien Quusuo of his status as the chief scholar]

【So……】

The huge silver face used some means to confirm the authenticity of the guardian's vague accusation, and he said slowly: [judged based on deduction]

【'Big Library' supports your proposal】

buzz-

At this moment, the entire capital of knowledge was shaking.

In the outermost tower area, amidst the exclamation and screams of everyone, the white 'flowing clouds' lifting the entire sky in the cloudscape area are rolling and floating, forming around the island Pieces of thick cloud walls, they are like the strongest walls, isolating all floating islands from other islands, and a red warning light is also lit on the inside.

[Crisis Situation - Terra Federal Civilization Great Library enters emergency defense mode]

That is the real name of the Great Library of the pre-epoch civilization, and also the origin of the Capital of Knowledge.

And in the cloud wall, a large amount of silver-white mist swept out. These fine metal dust rolled in mid-air, combined, and quickly condensed into a humanoid mechanical armor that was over 20 meters high, but extremely refined and strong.

The moment this human form appeared, an invisible ether wave was born, and because of the sudden super-giant ether wave, the surrounding source matter field changed drastically, and the entire capital of knowledge was attacked by a super-giant storm, which spread in all directions at supersonic speed As a result, the 'heavenly capital' made up of hundreds of floating islands shook slightly because of this, and the entire structure was pushed apart evenly.

And just after the structure of the entire sky was slightly pushed away, an 'eye' vaguely opened in the center of the countless floating clouds supporting the floating city.

It is something that can only be described by the eyes. It is extremely deep, like a cosmic starry sky, containing countless silver stars, and these stars are spinning rapidly like a whirlpool, making the whole 'eye' look extremely dreamy and blurred.

And just as the countless staggered silver stars rotated alternately, a pure black area appeared in the very center of it.

It looks like a door leading to endless distance...

door.

The door in the pupil, the door in the pupil.

'Gate of Silver Heaven' opens.

boom!
At this moment, those floating islands protected by the cloud wall also produced a violent earthquake almost like an earthquake. It is hard to imagine what kind of impact these floating islands would encounter without the cloud wall.

And as if in response, the Quest Spire located in the center of the Knowledge City was also shaking, but a shadow spread from the spiers, covering the entire floating island where the Quest Spire was located—the subspace rift temporarily covered the entire floating island. It is isolated from the material world, but surrounded by powerful spiritual energy, making it impossible for the reorganized humanoid mechanical armor to enter.

【You can't let the capital of knowledge fall into crisis for your own desires】

The silver battle armor confronted the high tower shrouded in subspace, and his tone was calm: [Knowledge needs to be passed on, not because of the momentary passion. The 'taboo' that the ancient god Yintian warned us back then]

[The echo of the master craftsman... the guardian.I have never given up on inheritance]

And a smiling voice came from the tower: [It’s just that for me, this world is the same as the capital of knowledge in other worlds. Knowledge is not the only thing, but the soul is]

[Only the soul that memorizes knowledge is worth protecting, just books and data, meaningless at all]

[I will prove to you that in this cage of despair, existence and continuation are meaningless, only endless search and road building can move forward! 】

at the same time.

Beyond Terra, in near-stellar orbit.

The dragon of the abyss who was meditating here suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the demon's lair.

There, the chaotic demon lair suddenly lit up with brilliant golden light, and because of the huge energy changes, the sunspots began to flicker.

He looked dignified, directly consuming power, and communicated through time and space through the dragon soul: [Warning, the demon group has extreme reactions! 】

Even if he really said these words, the dragon of the abyss still couldn't believe it. He stared blankly at the demon's lair in the direction of the sun, then turned his head to look at the demon's lair on other planets of Terra: [ warn!Not only the stars, Mercury, Aphrodite, Vesta, and Deus all have changes! 】

【They... are coming out in full force? ! 】

[Is it the Demon King? 】

The Zhenxing Dragon King on duty immediately took over the communication, but the Dragon of the Abyss said in a deep voice: [No, it’s not the king of demons. I know demons better than anyone else. Discovered the 'new world' response! 】

[New world? 】

[The devil is a raging fire fueled by plunder and killing, and the new world is the best and driest fuel! 】The voice of the dragon of the abyss also carried great doubts: 【But where did the new world come from? 】

[Be careful, the destination of these demons is the capital of learning! 】

The other side of the continent.

The Void, 'The Orthodox Garden'.

Six hazy light groups are communicating here.

[Apocalypse-level natural disaster response in the capital of knowledge, the guardian of the great library is awakened, the gate of the silver sky is activated, and the demon swarm is moving towards Terra]

【What are they going to do?Is there a civil war in the capital of learning? 】

[Korizin is triggering a 'natural disaster'...but it's all expected.The virtual machine god has been guided, the devil is nothing to worry about, and the situation in the capital of knowledge needs to be contained]

[Ian Yinfeng is there.The Dragon King is also watching, things have not lost control]

[But they will not act until the most critical moment, and the crisis they suppress is the real 'final' crisis]

【Um.It is not yet the time to 'prophesy']

After a brief exchange, the light groups dispersed.

They are always much busier than ordinary people imagine. This world is like a candy ball stuck together by glue, which needs to be repaired from time to time, otherwise the ending will be broken.

The eyes of the world are focused on the capital of knowledge. Those who have expected it for a long time are silently waiting for the results and changes, while those who know nothing about it are extremely shocked, but they also suppress their curiosity.

They will not act immediately, never will, because no one knows whether the change is a crisis or an opportunity, especially when it involves such a powerful force as the capital of knowledge, no one wants to become a spy for others to find the way.

"as I expected."

In the subspace hall, another preacher stepped down, the blue-eyed scholar slightly closed his eyes, and smiled: "In the first half hour, no one will make a move, and the guardians can't break through my Taixu shield immediately. .”

Kerizien knew, or even said, had foreseen all the endings a long time ago, so he dared to hold the Psychic Development Conference now...and ensured that all the people in the conference hall were ignorant of the turmoil in the outside world. Present your own research.

Except for that...

He turned his head slightly and looked behind him. The dark golden dragon was crawling on one side, and its six eyes were looking at him.

--Did you discover it?

——So what if you find out?
Hum, a few seconds later, the dragon transformed into a human, and the black-haired knight was ready to go on stage.

"Ian, there seems to be something going on outside."

At this moment, Isengard seemed to have noticed something. He didn't know why he felt a little flustered, or his heart was vibrating violently, as if he was expecting something, and he seemed to be fearing something.

The blond young man whispered: "The situation in the capital of learning has been very wrong from the very beginning. The conference was held too quickly. I suspect that there may be..."

"There was a conspiracy. I knew it all along."

And Ian walked forward slowly: "I foresaw everyone on the first day I came to the capital of knowledge. This land is peaceful and peaceful. Even Yisen has no red light on you. I don't know anything. Why is this, but either a prophet interfered with my prediction, or all of this was just a false alarm."

"In other words, this matter itself is watched by 'people beyond time and space', so it is impossible to predict."

Smiling and walking forward, 'Mahdi' didn't care about the changes in the outside world at all: "But these are not important, all I know is that the whole world is probably watching the capital of knowledge."

"This is the scene I want."

At this moment, before Ian, the last speaker stepped down.

What I just preached was a scholar from Whale Song Cliff. His subject was the connection between 'food and spiritual energy', and the result was unexpectedly valuable.

The special delicacies beyond the sensory experience of ordinary people, the "spiritual food" made of monsters and sublimation materials can greatly stimulate the perception of the human brain, through chewing, swallowing, digesting, absorbing these extraordinary materials and enjoying them. Stimulation, people can have a certain 'phase perception ability' before becoming a psyker.

This can even be said to be a weak psychic power, but in fact, it is "spiritual vision" that has been activated. People who have activated spiritual vision can see many things that they could not see before. The probability has also increased to [-]% to [-]%!

Ian was the first to give the applause, then stood up amidst the applause, and walked towards the podium.

Da da da.

The sound of clear footsteps echoed in the hall.

——The envoy of Dragon Island?
——The second generation of Fudo Fortified City?

——What is he going to do?That arcane path is his subject?

Under the hostile, suspicious, or curious eyes of everyone, the black-haired knight stood on the podium.

"I am Mahdi Glen, the emissary of Dragon Island."

He made a brief introduction, and then cut to the chase: "Your research is very good, but, as the strongest group of researchers in Terra in terms of psychic power, haven't you discovered that your research is essentially just A single 'technique'?"

"Create psionic energy by exerting influence on the body, create psionic energy through the influence of emotions, and create psionic energy through pure nerve and physical feedback brought about by the stimulation of potions... All your techniques are aimed at creating psionic energy Why? Because psychic energy does not require resources, it only needs to be awakened, and ordinary people can leap forward and become psychic users on an equal footing with sublimated ones."

"And after becoming a psyker, going back to taking potions is as easy as an adult playing with a child's toy."

"These are all detours, because you can't become a sublimator, you can't walk on the road of a sublimator, so you have chosen a more direct, but also less clear, spiritual path like a blind box. The practice civilization of the ascendant, the two should complement each other and should not be isolated from each other."

"Get out!" "What do you know, you're not even a psyker!" "Why can this guy apply for a lecture project? Who put him up?"

At this moment, there were voices of questioning and questioning in the hall. Obviously, Ian's criticism was a humiliation to all the psykers present.

But he didn't care at all, but said in a smooth tone, unaffected at all: "So today, I will show you the road I have forged."

"It can perfectly integrate all your technologies, making pure 'art' become a 'method', and finally become a 'tao'."

"It's called the Arcane Path, and it allows even the poorest and most untalented people to practice, so that they can go straight to the heavenly path!"
