I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking
Chapter 704 Overseas Spiritual Luxury The Power of Sinking
The East Sea Holy Land gathers cultivators, and the sun and moon are long on Penglai Island.
Penglai Island is the core of the entire East Sea Immortal Alliance, the most critical node of the Wolong Spiritual Vein, and the foundation and destiny of the overseas human race.
Lin Chen heard Xu Yuanyang introduce that all the overseas Wanling Islands and various sea countries have branches or sects here.
The form of the entire Penglai Island Immortal City is not a market as Lin Chen imagined at the beginning, or an ancient and quaint immortal city like mortals, but more like layers of... high-rise buildings.
Under the shadow of the flying boat fleet covering the sky, in the distance, the winding and undulating, endless, and towering "mountains", at this moment, dots of fluorescence, lit up in every corner of the mountain, so conspicuous in the darkness, like a bright pearl in the endless deep sea, and like a cosmic star sea in the chaotic void, one place after another, clustered into a piece, forming a flowing Milky Way in the darkness.
There were two figures who landed directly in the light spot at the top of a "mountain". Once they entered, it was as if they had changed to a new world.
A huge spiritual light formation covering thousands of miles flashed automatically at the moment the two arrived, opening a passage to enter.
As soon as they stepped into it, the familiar sunlight fell on them. Looking carefully at the light source, they found a little light blooming from the sky, emitting brilliant light, illuminating the ground below them.
In this light, there was a crystal stone emitting golden flames. It was the Great Sun Fire Crystal. Only in the Nine Heavens could it be collected with a slight possibility. It was one of the best golden elixir spiritual objects for fire spirit root cultivators to break through the realm, but here, it was just a light source for lighting.
And the land below them was a first-class fairy mountain with beautiful scenery and natural creation.
On the mountain, there are longevity deer and fairy foxes walking, spiritual birds and black cranes spreading their wings, rare flowers and rare flowers never wither, and green pines and cypresses are evergreen.
There are also rivers and waterfalls, sprinkling water vapor like clouds and mist. Under the sunlight, rainbow bridges and cloud steps rise, which are like fairyland.
There is a city in the mountain, which is like green jade. There are pavilions and towers on the four corners, all of which are dozens of feet high and decorated with gold and jade, which is extremely rich. The city is surrounded by high palaces, decorated with patterns of fairy birds and spiritual beasts. The gates in the palaces are open. There is a faint spiritual light of forbidden magic on the city wall, and from time to time, you can see the escape light flying by and appearing and disappearing.
Before the two people fell from the clouds, someone came out from the high palace to greet them.
The Jindan cultivator was wearing a blue Taoist robe with dark patterns and a bright aura, and looked like he had some status. Behind him were a group of foundation-building cultivators. When they saw the two of them, they all bowed to him:
"Welcome back, young master!"
"No need to be polite." At this moment, Xu Yuanyang beside Lin Chen changed his previous humble and friendly style, his expression remained unchanged, and his demeanor was naturally generated. "Here, there is no need for so many rules and regulations. Just do what you should do."
"Yes."
The people below hurriedly bowed in fear and pretended to be busy with their own work, but secretly notified their relatives as soon as possible to avoid making mistakes and making the grandson of the Taoist master in front of them unhappy.
"I didn't expect that the Taoist friend's status is so noble. It's not what we are waiting for to condescend to associate with a casual cultivator like me." Lin Chen saw this scene and couldn't help but smile.
Although there are only a few Jindan and a bunch of foundation-building cultivators below, they are the true disciples of the Shenxiao Gang Fa Dao and even the inner disciples. In the outside world, they are also the existence of the powerful and nobles of the cultivation. But here they are used like slaves. How can we not see the noble status of the people around them?
"Status, servants, identity, etc. are all just external things. Only one's own strength is the foundation." Xu Yuanyang shook his head, "Don't look at them as if they are respectful to me, but it's just because my Xu family ancestor is the current Taoist master. If there is a change, these people will also disperse and rely on new immortals."
"The prosperity of external things may only be a generation or several generations apart, so everything depends on oneself, not on external things. This is an unbreakable truth since ancient times..."
As they spoke, the two landed in the city, stepped on the tiles made of green jade, and walked inward little by little.
The cultivators who came and went were either disciples of the nine major immortal sects or servants of Xu Yuanyang. Each of them was at least at the foundation-building stage, and some even had the aura of several Nascent Soul cultivators.
All the transactions they made here would be taxed, and the taxes would be paid as tributes, eventually becoming Xu Yuanyang's own wealth.
In other words, this vast sacred mountain and prosperous immortal city in front of them were actually only Xu Yuanyang's wealth, and this place was not even his real industry!
The two walked to the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the city, which was a magnificent palace with rainbow bridges and cloud steps hanging off the ground, and the most dazzling immortal way.
Entering it, along the way, they saw many mermaid women with fish tails, holding lanterns and pearls everywhere, illuminating the dark places.
There were also demon women with fox tails; footless women who could transform into birds; and even winged feathered people standing as maids in various places in the pavilion.
There were even some monsters like the tree spirit Shenwa.
In the house, a beautiful woman walked down from the painting and played various musical instruments. The sound of pipa, zither, and string instruments was deafening. The Chaofeng and Tongque on the eaves looked around, alert to the candles and outsiders...
They crossed a jade bridge. The water under the bridge was a deep rainbow in color. It was actually the best elixir. Every drop could be used to build the foundation. It came out from a small river under the bridge and gathered into a lake not far away.
Behind the lake appeared a building carved from white jade. The roof was covered with sky-blue glazed tiles. Hundreds of golden bells were hung under the eaves. They were all engraved with the Hundred Blessings and Evil-Repelling Scrolls. When the wind blew, a series of bells rang to purify the heart and soul. Some of the women around them held jade bottles with cloud fungus inserted in them, letting the clear and spiritual air rising from the cloud fungus soak their hearts and spleens. Some held tea cups, and the water vapor curled like white birds.
There were also countless rooms, each of which was made of top-grade spiritual jade and inlaid with dazzling pearls. Even if there was no one, the spiritual incense that could refresh and nourish the spirit was burning.
In addition, there were all kinds of rare treasures and exotic scenes, evolving into a myriad of things, which was beyond the imagination of mortals.
As for the resources used, spiritual objects of foundation building and golden elixir level are everywhere, all turned into decorations, and there are even a very small amount of fourth-level spiritual objects, Tianyi True Water, which turned into a faint spiritual mist, imperceptibly floating in this palace, improving the qualifications of everyone who enters...
There are so many resources piled up, such a rich and prosperous scene, but for people like Xu Yuanyang, who are high-level members of the Immortal Alliance, this place... is just a place for visitors to live, and it is not a real industry.
And if Lin Chen's information is correct, there are at least tens of millions of cultivators gathered on Penglai Island, and there are also old monsters of transformation, Yuanying Zhenjun, and countless golden elixirs. If they are consumed freely, even the Wolong Spirit Vein cannot bear it, so they have to use the end of the law formation and the island restrictions to restrict the use of every ray of spiritual energy, and use it with caution, which is the so-called increase income and reduce expenditure.
Looking at the current scene, there is still a little bit of frugality, which completely reflects luxury and waste to the extreme.
On Penglai Island, the spiritual energy output of high-level spiritual veins is limited, not to mention the promotion of cultivators, the defense of Wolong Customs, the conquest of foreign lands, the rest of the flying boat fleet... Which one does not require resources?
But the spiritual energy here is wasted to such an extent. If there is more spiritual energy here, there must be less spiritual energy in another place. And where is this other place? Need I say?
"Take it all, use it like mud and sand..."
At this moment, the only thing Lin Chen thought of was this sentence.
He finally knew why Yue Lingnu Fairy was persuaded by the devil, why the Immortal Alliance has been like this for millions of years, why so much knowledge and technology such as the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, unorthodox ways, and the inheritance of skills, most of which were passed down from ancient times, why he did nothing and showed extraordinary knowledge, but was hostile to many people in the Immortal Alliance...
Looking at this scene, you can understand it all.
For cultivators without background from the outside world, even if they risk their lives, they may not be able to obtain a drop of water from the pool in this palace. So many resources are wasted on this useless aspect, and disappear in constant internal consumption and waste.
But those immortal families are still eager to squeeze out the wealth of every mortal cultivator to enjoy their prosperity, while suppressing all variables, preventing the lower-level people from coming up, and climbing up at all costs...
With all these things, how much progress can the entire Immortal Alliance, the entire cultivation world, and even the spiritual civilization of this world expect?
I'm afraid it won't wait until the number of cultivators grows to a day that the world can no longer bear, causing another catastrophe?
Besides, the difference between immortals and mortals, the gap between upper and lower cultivators, the spiritual objects that one has worked hard for, even risking one's life to obtain, are harvested by some sects and aristocratic families, wasted and abandoned at will, which leads to hopelessness of the path of Taoism for life, and even hopelessness of immortality for generations, and being slaves for generations, and being killed at will like animals... How can such an experience be described with just one word of hatred?
In his previous life, the mortal world, hundreds of years of harvesting and oppression, could set off the fire of revolution, break all order, and change the dynasty.
In this life, although the great power belongs to oneself, it does not mean that the resentment and anger at the bottom are useless.
The demonic pollution that Lin Chen encountered before can be roughly divided into two types.
One is similar to radiation, which can distort the underlying logic of spiritual energy. This is the power of the microscopic world.
The other is the pollution of this world, which is a power that makes the world decay.
The latter is reasonable. Birth, aging, illness and death are the norm of life, and the world is no exception. However, even if this world has experienced two catastrophes, it is still in its prime and should not have such power.
But if the extreme resentment, unwilling obsession and curse of the living beings are integrated into the dead air, yin and evil spirits of heaven and earth, such power will be born, which will cause the end of the world and the earth to be turbid and sink everything.
The fusion with the spiritual energy and pure air of heaven and earth is the orthodox Yuanshen, but the entanglement with the dead air and turbid air of heaven and earth is the power that can make the world sink completely.
And now, the high-level officials of the entire East Sea Immortal Alliance use the blood of the human race and the lives of scattered cultivators to offer themselves. Those mortal cultivators who are oppressed, harvested and killed, do they really have no resentment at all and are willing?
If there is resentment, it will form a fierce ghost, give birth to a curse, pollute the veins of one side, and even appear in broad daylight, devouring all living people.
Of course, a monk might be able to kill it, but the resentment and curse are more than just that.
Even if one point is not enough, what about ten points, a hundred points, a thousand points... You know, the East China Sea has billions of human beings and millions of years. The deep darkness accumulated by the heavy resentment and curse is simply unimaginable!
In this extraordinary world, these can be transformed into real power. Once it breaks out, Lin Chen can't say for sure whether it will turn the East China Sea into a nine-deep and desolate area!
'But no matter what, it will break out sooner or later. Whether I am here or not, it will happen, but it was caused by me...'
Lin Chen also gradually understood at this moment.
If his previous civilization wanted to transcend, it was to get rid of the internal consumption and waste of civilization before the usable materials on its own planet were exhausted, and to use all its strength to develop new technologies, and then sail to the sea of stars.
Then the cultivation world in this world wants to transcend, it is to find a way to eliminate the end of the evil spirit born from the fusion of these curses, resentment, unwillingness and turbid air, and then explore the mysteries of the microscopic spiritual energy, so as to complete the overall ascension.
If this step cannot be achieved, the bloody battles among all races, the ancient demon disasters, and the subsequent doomsday catastrophe will sooner or later destroy this world...
Just as Lin Chen was able to see the general situation of the world through a glimpse, Xu Yuanyang, who was standing by, did not have to be secretly shocked:
‘The layout of the island was done by the Taoist master of formations. It is a feng shui situation of wealth and prosperity for hundreds of generations, and it is quite consistent with the prohibitions and formations. Through various external appearances, luxury, combined with visualization and illusions, it can sharpen people's will and character! ’
‘But since it is sharpening, there must be a response strategy. Otherwise, under these impacts, even if it is the true teaching of the overseas immortals, if they visit rashly, they will probably sink into it, their hearts will be covered with dust, and they will no longer have the heart to practice, let alone the casual cultivators! ’
‘Nine out of ten people who come in are wrong, and they are dazzled! But this person is unmoved, which shows how extraordinary he is! Only those who have truly cultivated their Qi and have seen the world can remain calm. And now, I have a sense of that from him! ’
‘How could a casual cultivator have such insight? Could it be that, as my grandfather guessed, he is a certain old monster who had returned from the catastrophe tens of thousands of years ago? ’
‘But no matter which one it is, the next meeting of the Golden Elixirs of Penglai Ten Thousand Islands and the battle of the Ten Paths of Hell will begin... All of this is enough to give us a glimpse of its color! ’
