Chapter 322: Setting foot on Mars
Chapter 322: Setting foot on Mars
In the picture of mountains and rivers, the old phoenix tree is growing taller and taller.
Now the space of the inner world has expanded a lot compared to before, and as for the boundaries of the upper and lower four directions, they are nothingness. Xu Qing tried to get close to the boundaries, and soon he felt that the body of the demon was disintegrated and the consciousness of the demon became blurred.
These voids are called "virtual world" in Lu Zu's inherited memory.
In Lu Zu's view, the world is composed of reality and illusion.
By escaping into the virtual world and having an anchor point marked by the real world itself, one can directly reach any anchor point from the virtual world.
However, one must at least reach the realm of a creator to be able to use such means.
For example, when the Black Mountain Demon brought Xuan Hu to Mars, he used a similar method.
Of course, Xu Qing had doubts about any anchor point. If that was the case, then Lu Zu and the others should be able to return at any time.
There is no place like home. You can’t leave and not be willing to come back to take a look.
Thanks to the continuous growth of the Taichu magic weapon and Xu Qing's use of the Wutong leaves, the Taishi magic energy was constantly impacted and was tempered in the process.
Xu Qing's current Heavenly Demon Power has naturally reached a bottleneck stage.
If he passes this level, his Heavenly Demonic Skills might be able to reach the level of a true "Creator".
Of course, Xu Qing was not very enthusiastic about this.
Whether he breaks through or not, he is still the best master in the world.
When it comes to ranking, Xu Qing also subconsciously ignored Lord Fang.
Lao Fang is becoming less and less willing to move. He stays in the small yard every day and rarely even walks the cat.
It's the ultimate homebody.
And getting older.
It always gives people the feeling that he will ascend to heaven at any time.
However, even if Old Fang only had one breath left, Xu Qing doubted that the old man could last for another ten or eight years.
I really can't figure him out!
On the other hand, since the Map of Mountains and Rivers is Xu Qing's natal magic weapon, as the Heavenly Demon Art grows, the value of the Map of Mountains and Rivers also rises.
Implicitly, this magic weapon gained the ability to cross the starry sky.
Xu Qing just had a feeling that he needed to give it a try.
Before trying, Xu Qing arranged the things at hand. With the presence of the demon in his dream, Xu Qing could sense and make a decision even if there was an emergency.
Fortunately, the Tianqi Dynasty has now entered a prosperous period, with booming development in all aspects, and famous generals like Yu Zhen and Meng Yuxuan are expanding the territory.
The country's situation is visibly improving.
The actual controlled territory of the Dayu Dynasty has already ranked among the top in history.
On the other hand, Xu Qing did not kill all the Golden Horde on the Prairie, but consciously forced the generals of the border towns to drive out the Golden Horde on the Prairie and drive it to the far west.
In order to preserve the strength of the Golden Horde on the grassland, Xu Qing did not kill Grand Tutor Murong.
In this way, the grassland people can relieve the scourge of the Far West and also ease the pressure on Southeast Asia.
The implementation of these things depends entirely on Xu Qing's absolute strength.
Moreover, the continuous expansion of territory also effectively eased the internal conflicts of the Tianqi Dynasty.
In Xu Qing's opinion, it will only take 30 years for the Tianqi Dynasty to undergo earth-shaking changes.
Because he was clear about the general direction of the development of mechanical technology, and combined with the five-year plan set by the central government, under the Qin system of concentrating resources to accomplish major tasks, technological breakthroughs in many major directions would become very easy.
What's more, there are many cultivators in Tiangong Academy, and it is easier for them to do these things than for ordinary people.
Before trying to use the map of mountains and rivers to cross the starry sky, Xu Qing had one more thing to do.
...
...
"Wei Bo, this is the latest law of the Immortal Dynasty. From now on, you don't have to be responsible for anything else. Just focus on this law. Remember, no matter who it is, those who violate the law will be killed!"
"Practitioners are not allowed to harm mortals." Wei Bo was quite surprised when he saw this immortal law.
"You may not understand, but it doesn't matter, just execute it."
"Yes." Wei Bo did not ask further questions. He knew very well that the more he obeyed Xu Qing's orders, the more chances he would have to enter the core decision-making level of the Immortal Dynasty.
Not to mention asking him to be responsible for enforcing this law of the Immortal Dynasty, even if he was asked to kill his own father, he would do it without hesitation.
This must be his father's problem.
Of course, Wei Bo still had many questions about political matters, so he went back and asked his father using a sound transmission note.
After Duke Wei learned about this, he paced back and forth in his study for a long time, pondering the truth until he finally understood the secret.
He then explained Xu Qing's real intention to his son.
Mortals are the foundation of practitioners. If practitioners wantonly suppress and harm mortals, it will not only intensify the confrontation between the two sides, but also reduce the birth of practitioners.
If the base number of mortals is large enough, there will be a huge number of cultivators. Among these people, it will be much easier to give birth to beings at the Golden Core, Purple Mansion or even Primordial Spirit levels.
In the words of Xu Liushou, quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
On the other hand, it only says that cultivators cannot harm mortals, but cultivators themselves have a very high status. If a mortal really offends them, there is no need for them to do it themselves.
Xu Qing's intention was to prevent practitioners from killing innocent people.
Or some people practice magic techniques and regard mortals as consumables, which is also not conducive to the sustainable development of the Immortal Dynasty.
In the eyes of these old-school aristocrats, the core of governing the world lies in "pastoral governance".
Since we are raising cattle and horses, the more the better. We cannot kill the chicken to get the eggs.
Moreover, since practitioners can no longer abuse their martial power, they have to rely more on secular nobles, so as to demonstrate their superior status and realize various privileges.
To put it bluntly, Xu Qing wants to formulate and improve rules to constrain practitioners.
The premise for this rule to be valid is Xu Qing.
If it weren't for Xu Qing, it would be difficult for practitioners all over the world to abide by these harsh immortal laws.
But big families like Duke Wei certainly want a stable order. The immortal laws formulated by Xu Qing are both restrictions and guarantees for the power of the big families.
The foundation of order lies in Xu Qing.
Therefore, it is even more unrealistic to ask them to turn against Xu Qing.
This is a deeper level of binding.
Duke Wei had to admit that Xu Gongming was still the same Xu Gongming.
These people continued to gain benefits on the path designed by Xu Gongming, and their dependence on Xu Gongming also deepened. Once Xu Qing got into trouble, everyone would be in trouble.
But they have no way to do anything about it.
After all, other families are following Xu Qing and becoming stronger and stronger. If you don’t follow him, your family will only end up declining.
But Xu Qing is not without hidden dangers. If a genius more talented than him appears in the future, he will definitely challenge Xu Qing's position. How should Xu Qing face it then?
Such things have happened in history.
For example, Shun replaced Yao, and Yu replaced Shun.
...
...
During these five years, Xu Qing and Feng Wu had a second son, Tianqi. With Tianqi's company, Feng Wu's mood became much better, but she was still worried about Xuanhu.
It seems that all the children born to Xu Qing and Feng Wu will be gifted.
Like Xu Xuanhu, Xu Tianqi is an unparalleled genius, and Tianqi's talent is more reflected in the research of mechanical arts.
Last year, Master Tianling accepted Tianqi as his successor. In addition to political considerations, he loved Tianqi from the bottom of his heart.
In the opinion of Master Tianling, Xu Tianqi was destined to become a great master of weapon refining, and would even have high attainments in the art of formations.
Moreover, weapon refining and formation formation complement each other.
Xu Qing planned to use the map of mountains and rivers to cross the void, but he also considered what to do if he encountered an accident.
Not only did he leave behind the demon king guardian through the Master Tianling to protect Feng Wu and his mother, he also let Feng Wu live in Chaotian Temple recently.
The temple master was in charge. In addition, Yan Kong was also invited to guard in secret.
If you encounter a major incident, go directly out to sea from Jinyang Prefecture and head to Dongdao Island.
King Lin is there.
These powers are enough to protect Feng Wu and her son for the rest of their lives.
"I will try to cross the starry sky to reach Mars this time. Since this is my first attempt, I don't know what risks there will be, so you won't go with me for now. Don't worry, if I get any clues about Xuan Hu's whereabouts, I will definitely take you with me."
Feng Wu nodded: "You have to be careful too. If I will drag you down, I won't go with you."
Although she was concerned about her eldest son, she was not as worried as she was at the beginning, so she was calmer. She couldn't lose her mind because of her concern for her eldest son.
Xu Qing: "Well, I will pay attention."
Feng Wu knew that Xu Qing always acted in a measured way, so he didn't give him too many instructions.
After Xu Qing arranged these things, he began to try to use the Mountain and River Map to break through the Tiangang atmosphere.
He didn't intend to cross the starry sky and reach Mars in one go.
Instead, he made many attempts, constantly breaking through the Tiangang atmosphere and returning to the ground. It must be said that the void outside the Tiangang atmosphere is very dangerous. In the mountain and river map, there are all kinds of inexplicable star power and Yuanqi from the void infiltrating. Without the protection of the Tiangang atmosphere, these strange forces are extremely destructive.
Fortunately, Xu Qing was a demon, and the old Wutong tree could absorb these strange powers, so Xu Qing was not affected too much.
“No wonder to cross the starry sky, one must be at least at the creator level, or even a celestial being to be safe.” Xu Qing thought to himself.
This also gave him a new understanding of the old sycamore tree.
It can actually directly absorb various strange powers in the void universe.
What kind of alien spiritual root is this old Wutong tree?
The map of mountains and rivers turned into a beam of light and flew in the starry sky.
The closest star to the Great Yu Dynasty is the Mars, except for the Moon. Even so, it would take Xu Qing at least a year to fly to the Mars.
In the vast universe, the distance to other stars is so far away that if there is no way to cross the space, even if one has high cultivation level, he or she may not be able to leave the star field where he or she is.
Moreover, Xu Qing also knew that at the border of this star field, there was a barrier that even powerful immortals would find difficult to cross.
If you want to go to a wider world, it is necessary to find the ancient road on Mars that leads to the outside world.
Xu Qing also made preparations for a rainy day.
Because the resources in the Dayu Dynasty are limited.
If you want to grow and develop, you will have to set foot in other worlds sooner or later.
Xu Qing also knew that since there were other worlds out there, if the Immortal Dynasty was not strong enough, it might face invasions from other worlds in the future.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten.
He couldn't just sit there and wait for this to happen.
If another powerful world were to become interested in him, the Demon Lord, Xu Qing would find it even harder to imagine what would become of him.
Add to that the "Jia Zi Disaster" that the bronze mirror reminds us of.
After thinking about it, Xu Qing felt that it must be related to the alien world.
Because in the world where the Dayu Immortal Dynasty is located, there will never be any hostile forces that can threaten the Immortal Dynasty.
...
...
The atmosphere of Mars is extremely thin.
When Xu Qing descended driving the map of mountains and rivers, what he saw was endless desolation.
It is even more desolate than the desert on the border of the Dayu Dynasty and full of deathly silence.
His spiritual consciousness was expanding rapidly, and he soon determined the location of the Great Leiyin Temple.
After turning the map of mountains and rivers into a Taoist robe, Xu Qing flew away from Mars and disappeared.
His escape light was incredibly fast, and at the same time, the primordial demonic energy was also being consumed rapidly.
"I didn't expect that there were so many powerful monsters hidden in Mars." Xu Qing couldn't help but tremble with fear.
His demonic consciousness was extremely powerful, and he could see many powerful demons sleeping.
The reason why these demons fell into a deep sleep is entirely because of the existence of the Great Leiyin Temple.
This ancient temple left by Sakyamuni actually suppressed all the demons on the planet Mars.
Xu Qing couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the power of Sakyamuni.
Even with his current knowledge, it was difficult for him to explain how terrifying Sakyamuni's power was.
It's really too high.
Even as the descendant of Sakyamuni who has been separated by countless generations, the gap between Master Xiong Chan and Sakyamuni may be even greater than that between a firefly and the bright moon.
Xu Qing landed on a hilltop, with the Leiyin Temple in front of him.
Fortunately, the map of mountains and rivers blocked the ancient temple's surging Buddhist power, otherwise Xu Qing would definitely have been hit by the ancient temple's powerful Buddhist power.
Even so, Xu Qing did not dare to enter the ancient temple rashly.
The devil and Buddhism are mutually exclusive.
Xu Qing waved his hand!
A tall alien fire cloud horse appeared.
It was the Fire Cloud Horse from that year.
Now, under Xu Qing's training, it has transformed into an extremely powerful monster.
The horse head has fully evolved into a dragon head.
"Go in and take a look!"
The Fire Cloud Horse let out a low dragon roar, then stamped its hooves to create a cloud of fire and entered the ancient temple.
As soon as they entered the ancient temple, the magical powers of the Fire Cloud Horse were greatly reduced.
Because it has dragon blood, the Great Leiyin Temple does not seem to reject it, and there are also many carvings of celestial dragons in the temple.
Xu Qing's demonic thoughts reside deep in the Fire Cloud Horse's consciousness.
It seemed that the Great Leiyin Temple didn't care about this little evil thought at all, or didn't even notice it.
Xu Qing was able to observe the internal structure of the Great Leiyin Temple through the Fire Cloud Horse.
Finally, Huoyun Horse arrived at the main hall of the Great Leiyin Temple. The lotus platform in the center seemed to be constantly interpreting the profound meaning of Buddhism. Huoyun Horse seemed to be converted and fell to the ground involuntarily.
boom!
The Fire Cloud Horse's blood suddenly surged and a phantom of a fire dragon emerged from its body.
Many scarlet scales grew on its body for no reason.
"Dragon scales?" Xu Qing was secretly surprised.
He clearly felt that there was a force in the Great Leiyin Temple that was tempering the Fire Cloud Horse.
This horse was really lucky, as it actually underwent a blood transformation inside.
Xu Qing observed secretly without interfering.
After an unknown amount of time, the phantom of the fire dragon returned to the body of the Fire Cloud Horse.
Xu Qing clearly felt that the Fire Cloud Horse's power had become even stronger, and dragon scales had grown all over its body, making its defense much stronger than before.
At the same time, a powerful Buddhist force rushed out of the temple.
The target was obviously Xu Qing.
Xu Qing seemed to be prepared. Suddenly, a drum sounded and a bell rang.
The surging Buddha's power was injected into the morning bells and evening drums.
Xu Qing felt relaxed.
As expected, the evening drum and morning bell can counter the forbidden spells of the Great Leiyin Temple.
He thought for a moment, and under the protection of the evening drum and morning bell, he stepped into the Great Leiyin Temple.
