I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 183 Coming in droves

No matter how thrilling last night was, the sun still rose the next day.

Today, Jiangling City is busier than any other time of the year.

Both dignitaries and common people came out of their homes one after another to find a secret place or gather in a restaurant to talk about what happened last night.

In a high-rise mansion, more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly men in luxurious clothes and extraordinary bearing gathered together in a pavilion.

Each one of them is Jiangling, and even the most prominent local family in the state where Jiangling is located. Relying on Jiangling's convenient transportation, they do business all over the country, bribe the court, and communicate with the common people, almost occupying the entire Great Qian Dynasty's wealth exceeds about 50%.

Just such a thought was enough to shock the world, and even the family heads who could forcibly influence the temple's decision-making fell into silence at this moment.

"Tell me, what do you think about what happened last night?"

After a long silence, the head of the family, who was obviously the leader, spoke.

There was another long silence.

After a while, a voice came from the crowd: "Perhaps the vision last night was just a trick of the Taoist priests?"

"Those tricks that can only fool the untouchables, if they can cover a thousand miles, let alone the untouchables, I will regard them as immortals!" Someone retorted with a sneer.

"Since it's not just a pretense, doesn't it mean..." One of them paused and swallowed subconsciously, "In this world, are there really... immortals?"

Everyone fell silent again, looking at each other, with indescribable excitement and... fear in their eyes.

Naturally, they are excited because if there are immortals, then immortality is not impossible. In this way, wouldn't they be able to enjoy the glory and wealth forever?

As for fear, that's pretty simple too. With their current power, even the emperor, who is above the temple, cannot threaten their lives. At most, he can only force them to flee.

But if there really is an immortal, he is free and at ease in the world, and his power is his own. With just a few gestures, he can affect changes thousands of miles away, and even cause stars to appear in the world.

Such beings cannot even be restrained by heaven and earth, let alone mere mortals like them.

In other words, can the immortals take away their lives at any time as long as they are willing?

As senior leaders, what they fear most are variables that can threaten their lives but are beyond their control!

"At least judging from last night's vision, the Immortal has Ascension. Presumably, the other party will not care about earthly things. We don't have to worry." The leader of the family took a breath, closed his eyes, and then spoke said in a deep voice.

"And the key point of our gathering today is not to discuss whether there are other immortals in the world, but how to enter the Ascension land of immortals to obtain benefits!"

When talking about the benefits, the atmosphere in the entire venue began to slowly recover.

They can't control the affairs of immortals, so the most important thing now is to get news about immortals and then find ways to become immortals!

"That's right! What we should be thinking about now is not the existence of immortals, but how to enter the Ascension land of immortals!"

"And we must also control the entry of those untouchables to prevent them from threatening our rule!"

"Jiangling Ze is ours, Yunmeng Ze is ours, and the land of Immortal Ascension should also be ours!"

When it comes to interests, even the family heads who usually have great conflicts immediately united together.

For them, no matter how big the conflict is, it all belongs to their family, but no matter what, they cannot let those untouchables or the imperial court obtain the Immortal Law artifacts, otherwise it will threaten their rule!

"The river has been blocked by us. Those fishermen who can penetrate deep into Yunmeng Ze will either be captured or killed!"

"But the news cannot be blocked. There were too many people who saw it last night. Whether it was a thousand-mile horse delivering a message back to the court, or a goshawk flying a message to the northern barbarians, I am afraid that many people in the world already know about it!"

"We can't stop them, but there's no need for us to stop them. There are many dangers in the depths of Yunmengze, let alone the Immortal Ascension. I don't know what kind of changes have happened, and they need to go explore the way!"

"And if they gain something from it, and we control them and extract the immortality, then we will be the ones who benefit!"

"Not only that, we can also use tax cuts and inducements as benefits to recruit those untouchables to explore. If there is a harvest, it will be great. If there is no harvest, we will seize their fields and property and confiscate them!"

"No matter how we burn, kill, loot, or seize by force, no matter what, we cannot let anyone threaten our position!"

Countless conspiracies and schemes came out of their mouths. With the mobilization of manpower and material resources, a vicious web began to be woven continuously.

When encountering great changes, these aristocratic families never think about keeping up with the new changes, but how to absorb profits and maintain their own status. To do this, even if they delay the development of the entire era!

On the other side, among the major restaurants in Jiangling City.

"There is an Ascension in Yunmeng Ze!"

"According to reliable information, the land of Immortal Ascension is suspected to contain Immortal magic!"

"Those wealthy families sent officers and soldiers overnight to blockade the Yunmengze River. We couldn't get through at all. But according to the fishermen who were driven away, they said that countless precious lights appeared in the depths of Yunmengze."

In a restaurant, people gathered together and were talking about it. What happened last night was even more popular.

After all, almost everyone in Jiangling City witnessed the vision hanging in the sky last night, and there was no possibility of information blockade.

In addition, Jiangling is a place with convenient transportation. Most traveling merchants stop here from all over the world. Once something happens here, it can spread throughout Kyushu overnight.

So the news is spreading at an unprecedented speed.

And the news that spread naturally attracted countless people.

After all, this is immortality, immortality, strength, and power. How many people can resist the temptation contained in it?

Not to mention, there is no shortage of desperadoes in this world.

At this moment, the black-faced man vowed: "Ascension, there is a vision of spiritual rain falling from the sky, attracting countless strange beasts to gather in the depths of Yunmeng Ze. Obviously, there is a lot of immortality in it!"

The old man smoking a dry cigarette knocked on the copper pot and scolded rudely: "Nonsense, it's clear that deep in Yunmengze, there are poisonous insects, beasts, snakes, pythons and giant crocodiles, which frequently appear. That family is lying to us Martials again." Artist is on his way!"

"Master Chu, are you going?" someone asked in a flattering manner.

"Go...this body can't hold it any longer anyway! It's not unfair to die in there with this old bone!"

The old man squatted on the ground, smoked a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring and said: "When I was young, I fought with others and suffered hidden injuries. My vitality and blood declined. If I want to survive, I have to take risks!"

"The more dangerous the place, the more good things there are." Martial Artist in Yishan said excitedly: "Martial Dao, it's a struggle. If you don't fight for the opportunity, how can you achieve Innate? I don't want to live a mediocre life!"

Someone turned around and asked the black-faced man: "This place of Immortal Ascension is the only one in ancient and modern times. No one knows what is inside, so let us secular Martial Artists explore the way first. Guo Heizi, do you want to go?"

The black-faced man chuckled and said: "It's a cheap life, why don't you go? If you can really get something, it will skyrocket!"

"If you lose, then you have to die!" He said calmly: "And life is not just a gamble!"

…

The bottom floor, the Martial Artist, the aristocratic family...the whole Jiangling City seems to be in peace on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging behind the scenes.

As the news of Ascension spread more and more, the entire world began to change.

The capital of Daqian, the city of Yunjing.

After receiving the letter from Jiangling via Chollima, the old emperor abandoned the early court and soon led 3,000 elite troops from the Beijing camp to go down to Jiangling by water.

Beyond the Great Wall, in Mobei, lies the Yinshan grassland.

After six goshawks were killed, the news reached the hands of the Great Khan of the Northern Barbarians.

Soon, his most valued third prince among the barbarians, and the barbarian Innate, took a group of elites, rode on a thousand-mile horse, bribed them with money, and traveled deep into the Great Qianbei Land overnight.

Zhongxuan Mountain, the ancestral court of Taoism.

The great elder who stayed behind in the mountain looked solemn when he saw the letter, and then went deep into the mountain alone, and actually walked into a cave in the mountain.

In the cave, there are hundreds of naked Taoist soldiers who are practicing with secret herbs. This is the capital that the Taoist sect uses to resist the imperial court!

Soon, all the Tao soldiers disappeared, and the heavy armored bows and crossbows that had been hoarded for many years at countless costs also disappeared.

In the rivers and lakes, there are also Martial Artists, thieves, killers, Gu Masters... All sects and major forces, more or less, all came after hearing the news.

The morning sun rose again. Standing on the tallest restaurant in Jiangling City, looking down at the strange people, wealthy families, Taoist priests, Martial Artists, and even ordinary scholars who came from all over the world, Lin Chen couldn't help but He stroked his hands and smiled.

"All the outstanding people in the world have joined my game."
