I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 216 The Emperor’s Star Shakes and Huo Gao (Updated)

"Report! The thieves have already appeared in the capital. The Wuyan Dao, Tianyin Sect, and Miaojiang Gu Clan are kidnapping people to form a wave of corpses, and are pressing towards the palace!"

"Report! The Black Tortoise gate was attacked by the northern barbarians, Wuzong, and Beggar Gang using giant eagles in the air, and the entire army has been destroyed!"

"Report! The Black Tortoise gate has been broken down, and the zombie wave has entered the palace city!"

One after another, spies came to report and elaborated on the situation outside the Forbidden City.

Above the Chengtian Gate, a dense crowd of officers, soldiers and generals stood together, and at the core was an old eunuch with a proper expression.

"I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

The old eunuch looked ahead expressionlessly. It was obviously a midsummer night, but inexplicably, he felt a hint of coldness.

Around him are the elites he selected from thousands of people, each of whom has reached the Innate Qi realm and has also practiced the inner alchemy method passed down from the old emperor.

Although he is not as good as those who opened the way, his combat power is already comparable to that of ordinary people.

And not far away, there are also several practitioners who have traveled far in the inner alchemy method to guard here.

Under the Chengtian Gate, there was a 10,000-strong Beijing army, wearing armor and equipped with sharp weapons, including catapults, eight-bow crossbows and other weapons with terrifying lethality.

As for why there are no strong men who can only open one line, if it is the prime of the dynasty, it is still possible, but in the last years of the dynasty, when the hearts of the people in the world are almost lost, how many people will be sacrificed by the court.

Not to mention, those who pioneered the way are great men of all ages. Money, power, and status are easily available to them. What can a down-and-out court do to attract their loyalty?

Therefore, in the imperial court, the only person who could truly create his own path, apart from Yu Fu, who used the human elixir method, was the eunuch who was originally a strong man in the Innate Qi realm and had been guarding the old emperor.

At this moment, the old eunuch stood on the city gate and looked down, only to see tens of thousands of troops arrayed in formation.

The soldiers are all in the acquired state, the generals are in the Innate state, and the core characters are those who have practiced the inner alchemy method given by the old emperor.

In the past, this would have been enough to pacify the entire world and wipe out a million soldiers in one battle. But in the face of all the powerful forces in the world joining forces, can they hold on?

"The Tianyin Sect, the Wuyan Dao, the Wuzong, the Beggar Clan, the Miao Gu Clan, and even the Northern Barbarians... Your Majesty, these forces have joined forces. Can we really withstand it?" the old eunuch murmured.

"Of course I can't stand it. You are just abandoned children."

"who?!"

In the night, there seemed to be a chuckle. The old eunuch was startled and asked subconsciously.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong?" asked the general standing by.

"Did you hear anything just now?" The old eunuch looked around for a week and found nothing unusual, so he asked quickly.

"Voice?" The general looked at his subordinates, who all shook their heads, "No."

"Is it an illusion?" The old eunuch frowned and wanted to say something, but the next moment, a military report came quickly.

"Report! The tide of corpses has arrived in front of our army and is about to meet!"

"Pass His Majesty's will and prepare to fight!" The old eunuch said with a gloomy face.

However, what he didn't notice or subconsciously ignored was that right next to him, a figure was striding away.

He was dressed in black, and under the bright moonlight, he cast a shadow on the ground, passing by the officers and soldiers, and walked leisurely towards the center of the imperial city.

But the strange thing is that everyone present seemed to ignore or ignore him, allowing him to pass through the heavy defenses and break into the palace as if he was in no one's land.

When he entered the palace, he did not go straight to one place. Instead, he wandered around the palace as if aimlessly.

Logically speaking, in the palace, the lanterns should be like fire trees, with hundreds of branches shining brightly, making everything shine like day.

But the strange thing is that at this moment, everything is dark. Occasionally, a few lanterns light up in the courtyard palace.

The light of the lit lantern shrouded the space, projecting figures hanging one after another.

The figure dressed in black stepped into it, and saw maids, slaves, and even concubines, but they were wearing white silk ribbons around their necks, hanging in the air, and some fell to the ground, with blood flowing from their mouths, and their faces turned purple. Apparently he was poisoned!

And in the center, there is an old woman who is still graceful and noble even though she has silver hair. She is the queen of the dynasty, but at this moment, she is also lying on the phoenix chair, lifeless.

The figure in black, that is, Lin Chen, couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw this scene.

"Since I passed down the inner alchemy method, some people are extremely talented and have created a path of their own, vowing to have great power attributed to themselves, and become transcendent; some people are immersed in illusions, deceiving others and themselves, trying to find a way out of the ethereal world. The path to immortality; some people are willing to lose themselves and their lives for the sake of the common people in the world, just in exchange for eternal peace..."

As he said that, Lin Chen looked at Fang Fang: "And some people, for the sake of longevity and strength, kill everyone who opposes them, even the people next to them and the blood of their closest relatives."

As he spoke, Lin Chen raised his legs and walked straight to one side.

Passing through the numerous Zhuhu chair doors, passing through the splendid hall, and finally came to a main hall.

In the main hall, there were many people sitting or standing, and in the center, in front of the figure wearing a yellow robe, was a row of burning pill furnaces.

"Many times, the reason why a person is a human is not because he has wisdom, but because after he is born, he is educated by civilization and has knowledge, morality, etiquette, conscience... and then he slowly changes from his animal nature. Human nature was born." Looking at the scene inside, Lin Chen said softly.

In the main hall, the old emperor stood in front of the alchemy furnace. Yu Fu held a pill and presented it to him.

"Jie Jie Jie, good!" The old emperor's face was distorted with excitement, his old and thin body couldn't stop shaking, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Your Majesty is really good, you have given me such a life extension. Spirit Pill!”

Then, he directly grabbed the elixir and drank it.

The next moment, the old emperor's body was filled with vitality. His dry and curved body slowly became rosy and straight. His gray hair faded away, revealing a dark and shiny luster. The wrinkles on his face were rapidly reduced and became He looks middle-aged.

After a while, he changed from an old man to a strong middle-aged man!

Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, but the old emperor actually eats his seeds to extend his life!

Lin Chen looked at this scene without any expression on his face and said lightly:

"Human nature is the most precious thing for a person, and it is also the most precious wealth of a civilization. It is precisely because of his existence that human beings are able to suppress the animalistic desires in their bones, accomplish various extraordinary undertakings, and create A brilliant civilization..."

A faint voice sounded in the hall, but neither the old emperor nor Yu Fu, nor anyone else, seemed to have heard it.

"Hahahahaha!" On the contrary, looking at his appearance in the prime of life in the bronze mirror, the old emperor laughed loudly, almost going crazy with excitement.

For this step, he paid an unknown price, killed countless opponents, and even sent his own prince into the alchemy furnace, and finally got to where he is today.

Now it seems that everything is worth it!

"As long as I keep eating, I will have sons, grandsons, great-grandsons... descendants, endless descendants, and I will have immortality!!!" The old emperor's pupils were covered with blood, and there was madness in his eyes. Almost irrepressible.

"The next thing is strength." The old emperor murmured, and then looked at the princes and grandsons lying on the ground.

"I have supported you for so long, is it time for you to repay me?"

"Father, please spare my life!"

"My son only wants to serve my father, I have nothing else!"

"Grandpa, grandson, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"Don't worry." A kind smile appeared on the old emperor's face, "You will not die, you will just be with me forever."

Then, he waved his sleeves fiercely and sneered: "Alchemy!"

The next moment, Yu Fu took out pills one by one from different pill furnaces.

This is the human elixir that was previously refined by members of the imperial family to hunt down those who had practiced the inner elixir method and opened up a powerful force in the world.

If you obey, you can forcibly rob others of their cultivation and abilities, but you will also pay a huge price.

At this moment, the princes and grandsons who took the elixir turned pale, vomited blood and lost energy, and even worse, were shocked by the remaining spirit inside and turned into lunatics.

But at the same time, the power in these elixirs was further purified and integrated into the human elixirs cultivated by the princes and grandsons, forming a nearly pure power.

Obviously, the old emperor used these princes and grandsons as filters to help him avoid the cost of taking this pill.

"You are an independent husband and a foolish king, aren't you afraid that the world will cast aside you? Your conscience and morality have been eaten by dogs!" A prince completely tore his face apart and cursed crazily.

"Conscience, morality? These are just things used to restrain people. It is really ridiculous to use these things to restrain yourself."

At this moment, whether it was the old emperor in the palace or Lin Chen, who was walking from outside the palace, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a strange smile.

Audible sounds and inaudible sounds overlapped and echoed in the hall at the same time.

"And when I get rid of morality, conscience, etiquette...these things that people in the world have bound me to, and abandon those so-called human nature..."

"And when a person loses his morality, conscience, and etiquette... when he indulges his inner desires and madness, and abandons the so-called human nature..."

At this time, Lin Chen came behind the old emperor. Under the blazing fire of the alchemy furnace, shadows were projected on the ground. The two figures seemed to overlap at this moment.

The next moment, the two of them raised their heads together and looked at the blazing flames in front of them. The lights intertwined, as if the two Daoist shadows were intertwined into one!

At this moment, they said in unison:

"I am God!"

"He is the devil!"

When Yu Fu and the eunuchs guarding the side saw the scene in front of them, their expressions changed drastically.

Because in their eyes, under the firelight, the old emperor who had swallowed a large amount of human elixir was surrounded by strange phenomena, as if a god had come to the world.

But the shadow cast by the firelight on the ground was distorted at this moment. Black shadows stretched out all over the body, as if hair was hanging down. The head suddenly became flat and long, and there seemed to be a long stick sticking out of the body. The...tail? !

"This..." Yu Fu and the eunuch guarding on the side stared blankly in front of them, frozen on the spot.

If the old emperor on the ground is like a god in the sky, then the shadow cast down from the ground is like a strange and ferocious...

Demonic ape!
