Chapter 1125 Vast Knowledge
"We've been staying in the Vast Continent longer than expected, a month already. During this time, we've been staying in the villa at the Wushuang Sect headquarters, occasionally going out for fun, and have gained quite a bit of experience."
Liu Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, his spiritual consciousness having already injected massive amounts of information into the intelligent optical brain in his hand.
"The Haomiao Continent and the Xuantian Continent are now one entity, separated by the Haotian Sea and connected only at the southern end. The eastern Xuantian Continent is completely ruled by the Xuantian Palace and the Xuantian Empire. The Myriad Beast Empire in the north, the Zhongtian Empire in the center, and the Tiangong Empire in the west and southwest are also superpowers, thanks to the control of the three sacred sites of Snow God Mountain, Haomiao Palace, and the Wushuang Sect. Furthermore, the Haomiao Alliance also has many countries, large and small, scattered across the continent.
"The people of the Vast Continent have formed many races due to their different bloodlines. For example, the humans of the Myriad Beasts Empire, most of whom have animal bloodlines, are also known as orcs and half-orcs, such as werewolves, tigers, and lions. The royal family of the Xuantian Empire calls themselves the Demon Dragon Clan. Within the Sky Bow Empire, there are the tall and strong Berserkers and Black Gold Clan, as well as the elves who worship nature and life. However, there are no dwarves, as is common in fantasy worlds. Only the Zhongtian Empire has a relatively pure human bloodline. However, in my opinion, although there are many branches, they should all be considered offshoots of humanity, and calling them pan-primates is a more appropriate term.
"The history of the Vast Continent stretches back at least tens of thousands of years. However, the ancient rulers were dragons and elves. If we count from the rise of human civilization, it's only about 20,000 years old. In these 20,000 years of Vast Continent history, there are three eras that can be called turning points or leaps: the Form Condensation Era 13,000 years ago, the Glorious Age 10,000 years ago, and the Alliance Age 6,000 years ago. The Form Condensation Era marked the beginning and peak of Form Condensation Masters, and also the most prosperous era for Dzi Masters. The Glorious Age saw humanity triumph over the Netherworld and surpass the Celestial Gods, while the Alliance Age saw the rise of Heavenly Dao technology and the formation of alliances among nations.
"I've been traveling a lot these days, and from what I've sensed, this planet seems to be in the process of evolution. And it hasn't been just a year or two, it's probably been going on for tens of thousands of years. Judging by the time, perhaps it's related to the purification of the Netherworld, or perhaps the evolution of the elves' ancient life trees. In short, dimensional evolution is good for this world. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is becoming richer, there are more natural treasures, and the number of Dzi Bead Masters will also increase.
"The high-level combat power of Haomiao Star is still slightly inferior to that of Douluo Star. The Wushuang Sect has a total of more than a dozen powerful celestial gods, and the other three holy places and the elves each have several. Some of the lower-level sects also have one or two celestial gods, but this does not include the high-level celestial beasts. Not all powerful celestial beasts can transform into human celestial bead masters. For example, the dragon clan has several celestial gods. Many celestial beasts of the celestial god level have survived from ancient times, and there should be more than a dozen of them. The celestial god-level beasts on the sea are even more numerous.
"Vast Star hasn't had a legion for many years. Even the vast Ten Thousand Beast Empire, with its largest territory, only has two divisions. This has a lot to do with the peace treaty. Of course, the fact that the Four Sacred Grounds share a common ancestor is probably a factor, fostering unity and cooperation across the entire plane. The Four Sacred Grounds have also reached a consensus and have been engaged in overseas development for thousands of years. Although there are many powerful celestial beasts in the sea, even many god-level celestial beasts, they have been unable to stir up unrest in the face of the combined pressure of the Four Sacred Grounds. Now, the entire plane has turned its attention to space, and it is only a matter of time before they ascend to the Sea of Stars.
"The people of the Vast Continent have been given secret medicines distributed by various nations since childhood to aid their cultivation, allowing them to achieve awakening at a young age. The vast majority of them are physical bead masters, a small number are mind bead masters, and heaven bead masters are quite rare, a talent valued by all nations. Each nation has a comprehensive training system, including cultivation methods, form formation, and rubbing.
"Many techniques are publicly taught in various nations, and each academy also offers corresponding instruction. Only the advanced aspects of certain techniques are reserved for various sacred sites, requiring membership in such sites to learn. Many nations have signed contracts with nearby celestial beast habitats, exchanging resources for regular groups of people to create rubbings. Regarding form consolidation, each nation has dedicated form consolidation academies, training a large number of form consolidators. With the development of productivity, the price of form consolidation fluid and form consolidation paper has fallen, allowing most body bead masters to use advanced form consolidation equipment from the outset. Nine-bead body bead masters often possess several pieces of Grandmaster-level form consolidation equipment, while sky bead masters almost always have a form consolidation set available. This is all thanks to the collaboration and subsidies provided by the vast nations. Of course, the most important thing the vast nations have done is to break the secrets they cherish, encouraging form consolidators to share the various design drawings and form consolidation fluid formulas they have accumulated over the years."
"The people of the Vast Continent invited me to conduct a research project, and now, this project has finally been completed. Transforming ordinary bead masters into bead masters who possess both body and mind beads and possess higher attribute bonuses can actually be stimulated through drugs. However, the cost of this drug is still very high, but this is normal. After all, it has just been developed. After all, I will leave the rest to the people of the Vast Continent. I believe they have sufficient experience in reducing drug costs. As for me, I plan to study the connection between the condensed form imprint and the spirit ring and spirit bone. If the connection between the various systems can be opened up, human civilization will surely develop to a higher level.
"I met a little fellow in the Vast Mist Palace. He seems to be a descendant of Zhou Weiqing. To be more precise, the direct bloodlines of the Four Sacred Grounds should all be descendants of Zhou Weiqing. Anyway, that little fellow possesses the four attributes of wind, earth, water, and fire, and can transform into a stone cat's eye mind bead. This attribute is very common in the Vast Mist Palace. It's not as good as the former Six Absolute Divine Lord, but having all four attributes perfected is already a good attribute. I gave him some guidance, and he actually wanted to become my disciple. However, he's not qualified yet, so I only made him a nominal disciple. This is definitely not because the number of direct disciples has been too large recently and I'm too tired to add more.
"What I passed on to him wasn't anything complicated. It was just a modified Six Absolute Heavenly Dao Formation. There are similar records in the Vast Palace. However, this reminds me of something. The Five Elements Continent has the five elements. Could we find a way to create a cat's eye stone bead with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and then set up a five-element five-square formation? The five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and the connection between them is much stronger than that of four or six elements. However, this idea is not so easy to implement. It will require a considerable amount of experimentation. Let's use the Blazing Academy on the Five Elements Continent as a pilot.
"There are countless spiritual materials on Tianzhu Island in the Haomiao Palace, and there are many good things. He Qiang couldn't walk when he saw it. It's clearly five thousand meters high, but it's not cold at all. Of course, I know the reason. It's related to the ancient magic circle. Long before the Haomiao Palace, the dragon clan had already settled on Tianzhu Island. Xiaopang stayed there to study the celestial beasts. Many of the celestial beasts on Tianzhu Island are exotic species that do not exist in the outside world. He seemed to have a sudden inspiration. The heaven and earth spiritual fire of Huoling Mountain in the Myriad Beast Empire is very good. Although it has not reached the level of divine fire, with a little research, it can still help my Chaos Divine Fire. There are also many good things on the Xuantian Continent, but the Xuantian Continent mainly relies on the maritime economy. They are also the most enthusiastic about overseas colonization. Eighty percent of the islands on the Haomiao Star belong to them."
Liu Xiaoxiao wrote something like an essay or a diary, and input it all into the intelligent optical brain. He had no intention of spreading it to others, but they would have to leave this world for thousands of years in the future, and he was afraid that his daughters would think of him and feel lonely again, so he wrote something casually and leave it to them after he left.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Long before the other party knocked on the door, Liu Xiaoxiao had already sensed the other party's arrival. Out of courtesy, after the other party knocked on the door, he responded, "Come in."
The person who opened the door was an old man who looked to be over a hundred years old, but his actual age was probably over three hundred years old. He was a king of the Wushuang Sect.
"Your Majesty, a letter has come from the Haomiao Palace, inviting you and other great gods to attend a dinner at the Zhongtian City Royal Hotel. They have already prepared the aircraft." The king handed over the letter respectfully.
Liu Xiaoxiao took the letter. The envelope was quite formal and luxurious. He casually opened it, glanced at it, and nodded: "I understand. I will participate."
After saying this, Liu Xiaoxiao had an idea and contacted other people.
Not long after, a group of more than a dozen people attending the dinner boarded the aircraft.
This aircraft is not like an airplane, but more like a flying saucer. It does not use streamlined shapes to resist wind resistance. Its internal magic array is inlaid with many high-level sky cores. Once activated by heavenly power, it will naturally manipulate the wind element, so that there is no wind resistance in front, and the speed will naturally increase accordingly.
Liu Xiaoxiao had also heard that celestial beasts were not as slow-growing and scarce as soul beasts. There were still many celestial beasts that did evil, and both human sects and Snow God Mountain would directly punish them. Despite this, hunting celestial beasts was risky after all. Over the past thousands of years, various countries had developed methods to use precious minerals to make celestial cores, but the cost was still not low, and what could be produced was limited to sect-level celestial cores. As for the celestial king level or even higher, they could no longer be produced.
This aircraft naturally uses a king-level wind-attribute sky core, but the sky core is not a disposable thing. Today's technology is enough to allow elements to be converted into the sky core through magic arrays to replenish its energy, so that it can be recycled continuously.
During their communication with the waiters or flight attendants inside the aircraft, they learned that this aircraft was called Tianyang Disk, named after Shangguan Tianyang, the former Palace Master of Haomiao Palace. It was said that Shangguan Tianyang had participated in the design of this aircraft and was still alive and well.
Liu Xiaoxiao naturally knew that after He Qiang and his men created a pseudo-god world on Douluo Star, Zhou Weiqing followed their example and asked his children to build one on Haomiao Continent. The only difference was in scale, but it was not difficult to allow some people to obtain eternal life.
The speed of this Tianyang disk is truly astonishing. Tiangong City and Zhongtian City are thousands of kilometers apart. They set off in the morning and arrived in the afternoon, even taking into account the time difference caused by crossing the longitude.
Zhongtian City soon appeared in front of them. The huge mountain belly was developed into a metropolis of more than 5,000 square kilometers. It was surrounded by thick pillars of heaven that reached into the clouds. Above the clouds, at an altitude of 5,000 meters, was an island located in the sea of clouds. It seemed to be floating in the sea of clouds. It was Tianzhu Island.
They did not land directly in Zhongtian City, but walked out from the helipad of Tianzhu Island and then came to one of the Sixteen Pillars of Heaven. Liu Xiaoxiao and the others could see that there were stairs extending downwards. They led directly to under the clouds and were bottomless. If someone with acrophobia saw it, they would probably faint.
However, they naturally did not go down from here. They soon came to an elevator and sank downwards.
They then understood that a 5,000-meter elevator had been carved out of these 16 pillars. Moreover, these pillars were not straight, but slightly tilted toward the center. To be able to build an elevator under such circumstances was truly remarkable engineering technology.
Following the elevator down, they arrived at Zhongtian City a few minutes later.
Zhongtian City is extremely bustling. Liu Xiaoxiao's quick scan with his spiritual sense confirmed that there are at least tens of millions of people here. However, if it is only 5,000 square kilometers, it is a bit small.
But Liu Xiaoxiao soon understood. As his spiritual consciousness extended, he discovered that there was actually an underground city in Zhongtian City, and there was more than one floor.
Liu Xiaoxiao had been to Tianzhu Island before, but he had never come down to Zhongtian City to see it. This sight made him feel very surprised.
Led by their guide, they soon arrived at a hotel that looked very high-end.
They had heard of this hotel before. It was said that this hotel received almost all the powerful people at the king level or the master-level shape-condensing masters, or the kings of a country or the descendants of the holy land. It was also the most upscale hotel on Haomiao Star. The only hotel that could be more upscale than it was probably the private banquets of the god-level powerful people.
A group of people filed in and were led to the venue by the waiter. There were many people from the Haomiao Palace present, and the lowest level of cultivation among them was also at the Heavenly Emperor level. In addition, there were also big figures from other holy places, and even the contemporary Dragon Emperor and Elf Queen came. Of course, Zhou Longhu and others were also present.
It looked like the banquet was not specifically for them, but for guests from all over the world. However, it made no difference to them.
For a tour group, being able to eat delicious food is the most important part. At least in Liu Xiaoxiao's opinion, seeing the scenery and understanding local customs are secondary.
Banquets of this level are often buffet-style, with rows of tables filled with different foods for guests to help themselves. This is because guests need to greet others and walk and stand frequently, and it is impossible for them to sit all the time. The larger round dining tables do affect their movements.
For most people, such banquets are more about socializing than eating and drinking.
Liu Xiaoxiao leisurely walked around with the plate, occasionally picking up some food that he liked, without using tongs, but directly letting them fall into the plate with the technique of controlling a crane and catching a dragon, and then into his mouth, without even using a knife and fork.
From time to time, someone would come forward to say hello. For these big shots, as long as Liu Xiaoxiao did not deliberately restrain himself, they could feel his power even if it was just a clone of his divine power.
Just as Liu Xiaoxiao swallowed another piece of cake, a guest who looked like a middle-aged man in a red suit walked towards him.
Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said, "I didn't expect that the chief god of the dragon clan would come to visit. You are not a local, right?"
What he meant was that the other party was an alien from another divine realm.
"To be precise, I'm also from this planet, but it's a long time ago." The red-haired middle-aged man introduced himself. "I left this planet 5.5 billion years ago. At that time, there were no humans on this planet, and there was no Dzi Bead Law."
"Are you from the Dragon Realm period?" Liu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.
"No, I'm from an earlier era. Back then, there were no so-called Dragon Gods." The middle-aged man shook his head. "I left this planet with an alien visitor and traveled through various star regions in the universe several times before finally settling in the most prosperous Wanling Star Region. Now, I'm a dragon of the Wan Yao Empire."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao's pupils trembled.
