Compared with the last time he read "Book of the Earth", Chu Qiguang's strength has obviously improved a lot.
Now he has not only entered the realm of sage, but has also achieved some magical powers. Both the knowledge he possesses and the power he possesses have made a qualitative leap.
And behind him are countless manpower and material resources throughout the Central Plains as a backing, and countless knowledge from the past and present as a basis.
‘Now that I have gathered the strength of the whole country, I can be called the crystallization of human civilization...’
As he read the "Star Sutra", Chu Qiguang could see an unprecedented dharma taking shape in front of him, constantly absorbing the nutrients he provided, and moving towards perfection step by step.
…
Yongan 24 years, January.
More than six months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day in the Central Plains, countless people looked up at the sky and discovered that the Gangqi layer changed drastically, causing some kind of weird solar eclipse phenomenon.
The land of the Central Plains experienced darkness for several minutes, as if it had turned from day to night. No one knew what these minutes of darkness symbolized, but a bad premonition arose in the hearts of many strong men.
In addition to this sudden and unknown solar eclipse, a series of obscure, strange and terrifying events also occurred across the Central Plains.
Among them, birds committing suicide, clear sky and blood rain, and an ancient underground city that suddenly appeared after an earthquake in the west are the most well-known because of their large impact.
But no matter the cat factory, the dog factory or the magic-suppressing company, they all kept silent about those things because they were worried about some unnecessary panic, waiting for time to dispel their impact.
However, they still tried to record the investigation results of some incidents rationally and in writing, and stored them in large libraries in various places.
And in Chu Qiguang's retreat, he didn't expect that this time the exercise deduction would take him so long, and even trigger some mysterious omens.
However, during this period of time, in addition to cooperating with the "Star Scripture" to deduce the techniques, he was also using monster clones to continuously learn new knowledge. At the same time, he used Jin Nu and Jiao Jiao to manage the outside world and continue to promote reforms.
Both Chu Qiguang himself and the entire human world have been making great strides in the past six months without wasting any time.
At this moment, looking at the exercise naming box in front of him, Chu Qiguang said casually: "Aren't you going to speculate on housing?"
“Buying a house for retirement?”
“Selling houses and trading stocks?”
"The Star Sutra" naturally rejects these names and once again reminds the importance of the names of the exercises.
"The name of the dharma does not match the direction of distortion in the Tao area."
"Reminder: All names in the universe are very important, and the name of Zhengfa is related to the connection between Taoism in the past and future, and is the link between time and space cause and effect. It will also affect its power in different regions. Please choose carefully."
Chu Qiguang sighed again: "The name itself has mysterious power."
After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said naturally: "Then it's called... the Great Xiaoyao Cave Divine Canon."
As soon as Chu Qiguang's words came out, the twenty-sixth dharma was truly completed.
For a time, the whole world seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. All the masters in the realm of manifesting the gods had various mysterious sensations, but most of the beings in this realm did not know what this meant.
At the same time, an invisible wave surged out from Chu Qiguang's "Tian Xia Tong Xing" scattered around the world, spreading to the earth like money, and radiating a large area of land in the blink of an eye.
In the City of Night where Chu Qiguang was, he could feel a subtle change coming from the earth, and the information of this transformation also came from the seeker's eyes.
"The Paradise of Cave."
"The irradiation of light can change the environment for cultivation."
"And form a blessed place."
"As the blessed land advances, the cultivation effects there will continue to increase."
"It is said that the environment has a significant impact on the practice of martial arts."
"Maybe money is the key to changing the environment, do you think so?"
A flash of enlightenment flashed through Chu Qiguang's heart, knowing that this transformation would allow Tian Xia Tong Xing to consume energy and blood within the irradiation range and create a blessed land in the cave.
The more Qi and blood is consumed, the higher the level of the blessed land is, and the higher the bonus to Qi and blood cultivation will be.
The closer the blessed land is to Tianxiatong, the faster the blessed land will be upgraded.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Qiguang felt a trace of energy and blood power begin to spread within the area covered by Tianxia Tongxing.
And all living things within this range are wrapped up by it.
Another piece of information about transformation appeared in front of Chu Qiguang.
"Be carefree and forget yourself."
"With the state of selflessness, you can achieve freedom and ease."
"After reaching the agreement, you can control the nameless furnace."
"If you can help others reach a state of selflessness."
"I can also help others find true freedom."
With just a thought, Chu Qiguang felt that he could connect to the physical bodies of these creatures in the blessed land and use them as cultivation tools or furnaces.
In this way, you can increase the upper limit of your qi and blood that can be used. Having more cauldrons for training will greatly increase the efficiency of qi and blood training.
Of course, the prerequisite for connecting the other party is the consent of the other party.
Chu Qiguang sighed: "What a kind-hearted skill, but it actually requires the other party's consent to treat the other party as a tool."
At the same time, countless strange mantras are generated in the world, and it seems that they can come to every user's body with the flow of Qi and blood.
The words flashed in Chu Qiguang's eyes, ushering in the third manifestation of divine transformation.
"The nameless contract."
"The power of the contract contained in the blood."
"Be able to make contracts with people to complete the distribution of blessed land."
"It is said that the earliest contract appeared in the bloodline."
"Since then, contracts set in blood have become commonplace."
This is another very special divine transformation. Chu Qiguang feels the power of this transformation, allowing him to make unique contracts with users all over the world, and thus grant the Cave Heaven Blessed Land to others according to various conditions.
And get the feedback of Qi and blood.
Chu Qiguang closed his eyes, constantly savoring the charm of the "Da Xiaoyao Cave Divine Canon" and feeling the power of the three manifestations of divine transformation.
'It's really good dharma.'
'I am looking forward to the follow-up of Tongsheng Realm more and more.'
…
Not long after Chu Qiguang's "Great Xiaoyao Cave Divine Code" was completed, the residents of Night City first felt the impact of this righteous method.
They found that the efficiency of their Qi and blood circulation was much higher than before.
And this improvement in efficiency becomes more obvious the closer we are to Tianxia Tongxing.
Soon, as the announcement from Night City came, everyone and the demons understood what was going on.
The world is open, the cave is blessed, the land contract...
Some people knew nothing about it, some saw the opportunity, and some were excited...
Qiao Zhi hurried to the office of Posuo Palace and immediately found Wang Cailiang.
He quickly stretched out his cat's paw and pulled the other party aside: "Xiao Wang, I heard that Night City has a new plan?"
Wang Cailiang shook his head quickly: "What new plan? Why didn't I know about it?"
Qiao Zhi quickly straightened his face and said, "Don't lie to me. Do you dare to say that you don't know the planning of Night City's new district?"
Wang Cailiang said helplessly: "Master Qiao, please don't embarrass me. The new district is a circle drawn by the boss on the map. The plan is planned. You cannot leak the information casually."
Qiao Zhi said with a smile: "Just give me an approximate location."
Wang Cailiang sighed and said: "It's useless. The boss has set a purchase limit. Even if Master Qiao knew it in advance, you wouldn't be able to buy too much land."
…
A few days later, the location of Tianxia Pass moved eastward.
The originally desolate east location of the city will be planned as the future Qi and Blood Center, Martial Arts Center, and Financial Center of the country, and will become the existence of a blessed land.
The new area is named Wanfo East District, and in order to absorb resources for construction, Night City will gradually begin to publicly lease and sell land.
People with a little foresight have foreseen the potential of the new area and are eagerly waiting for the day when the land will be auctioned.
…
Yongan 24 years, March.
Jin Nu stood in front of Chu Qiguang and said: "The fourth phase of Night City's expansion plan has been officially launched, and the bidding work of the engineering team has also been completed..."
"The first batch of disarmament of the East China Sea Dragon Clan has been completed. Li Yaofeng is checking their formations and Taoist preparations in the Dragon Palace. He is also planning to arrange our blood pool there, as well as the eliminated armaments, but the ones sold to them
The price has not been negotiated with Dragon Palace yet..."
"Half of the classics from the Shenjing Royal Library have been shipped over, and Miss Xiao Linlan is checking them..."
"There is also news from Shenjing City that the emperor's condition has worsened again. Fu Nanzi said that he may not survive next year..."
"Jiang Longyu has been appointed as the Southeast Region Manager. Some of the employees below reported him for taking kickbacks..."
"The promotion of the new qi and blood unit went very smoothly. According to the limit of qi and blood possessed by a fifth-level warrior, it is 1,000 qi. Most of the common users in the world have accepted it..."
Chu Qiguang was listening to Jin Nu's report when he suddenly glanced at him and said calmly: "Why are you secretly looking at me? Why don't you come in?"
Qiao Zhi walked in timidly and whispered: "I was wrong."
Chu Qiguang sighed: "Where did you go wrong?"
Qiao Zhi said: "I shouldn't use my status to raise funds to buy land in a new district, and then become a second-tier dealer to raise land prices..."
Chu Qiguang said: "The existence of Dongtian Blessed Land is to benefit the people and increase the income of the whole people."
"By selling the Cave Heaven Paradise to them, their cultivation efficiency will be improved."
"And the income from selling the blessed land can once again enhance the effect of the Dongtian blessed land through the circulation of the world."
"The improved effect of Cave Heaven Paradise will raise the price of Paradise and attract more people to invest."
Chu Qiguang looked at Qiao Zhi and said solemnly: "But I also said that Tianxiatong will illuminate the whole world in the future."
"And Cave Heaven Paradise will be an urgent need for every warrior in the future. You are not allowed to raise housing prices. As the leader of the cat factory, you actually took the lead in real estate speculation..."
"Now the news is spreading throughout the city that you have built 300 houses. How do you want me to explain it to the people?"
Qiao Zhi fell to the ground with a thud, shedding hair and shivering, "I...I...I'm afraid of poverty."
"In my last life, I didn't even buy a single room in Beijing. When I saw this opportunity in this life, I just... I just..."
He slapped his palms and wailed, "I can't help but want to buy more."
Chu Qiguang sighed: "Let's all retreat. Look for the eight generals of Xinghan and the other two great kings to prevent any more mistakes."
With the construction of the Cave Heaven Paradise in Night City, the new district and even the land around the new district have become popular.
However, except for the head office of the branch bank, the headquarters of Tianxiatongxing, and the land for public facilities such as the Qixue Financial Center and the Insurance Blood Pool Center, most of the houses in the blessed land are evenly distributed to different warriors according to purchase restrictions, lottery, etc.
.
However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. With the vigorous construction of the blessed land, there are still many people who hope to sit on the blessed land and collect their energy and blood for rent, and regard it as a tool for speculation.
…
Yongan 24 years, October.
Night City, East District of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Yisiman was walking on the streets of the new district, looking at the buildings rising from the ground around him, as well as the blood pools and blood vessels everywhere, and said: "I have only been away for more than half a year, and the changes here are really big.
ah."
A wolf demon on the side said with a hint of pride on his face: "The high-rise buildings and Qi and blood machines in Wanfo New District are all built with the latest martial arts and Taoism, which are much more advanced than other places in Night City.
.”
"The effect of blessed land here is increasing every day, and the housing prices are getting higher day by day. If you want to buy it, you have to hurry up."
"Well, that's the core area. It's the house closest to Tianxia Tongxing. The effect of practicing there for one day is worth ten days outside. And Tianxia Tongxing spends energy and blood every day to transform the blessed land there. In the future, the price will only increase.
It’s getting better and better.”
Yisiman asked: "What's the price there?"
The wolf demon said: "It's about 100 qi per level there. The blessings in the blessed land have a fixed value. The more people who practice in a house, the worse the effect of blessing for each person."
"Generally, you have to buy at least 150 square meters for the best effect. If it exceeds this amount, not only will the energy and blood tax be doubled, but most people will not be able to control the extra blessings."
Yi Siman was surprised and said: "It's so expensive? Doesn't that house cost tens of thousands of qi? It's equivalent to the qi and blood of a dozen fifth-level warriors?"
Wolf Demon said: "It's so expensive, but it's definitely a bargain. Think about it. After you buy the house there and practice, as long as you are willing to work hard and practice hard every day, you can get your money back in nine or ten years at most."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have enough Qi and blood. Our Chamber of Commerce has a contract with Tianxia Tongxing and we can lend you Qi and blood. The down payment is only 10%. You buy the house first and then pay off the mortgage while practicing. That's better than if you were in Blessed Land
Cultivation is much faster outside..."
"If it really doesn't work, you can also ask your parents, your friends and relatives. They have cultivated their energy and blood all their lives, right? If you don't get on the bus now, the housing prices here will continue to rise in the future, and you won't have a chance.
"
There was disbelief in Yisiman's eyes: "Can it still rise? There are only so many fifth-level warriors in the entire Central Plains. How could so many people come here to buy houses in the blessed land?"
"Stop talking, is there anything cheaper?"
The wolf demon then introduced: "In addition to the higher the blessed land that is closer to the world, the housing price will be higher if it is close to the blood pool node. After all, the blood pool node is more convenient for borrowing and depositing energy and blood, and the efficiency can also be improved.
a lot of……"
But after a while, Yisiman still felt that the house price was too high: "With so much energy and blood, it is better for me to put it in Tianxiatongxing and earn interest than to work hard in this house every day, right?"
He said firmly: "Stop talking, I won't buy it, just rent it. You said before that you can rent a house here, right?"
The wolf demon took Yisiman to see the big houses and small houses in the core area, and then from the core area to the edge area. In the end, Yisiman thought it was too expensive.
The wolf demon had no choice but to lead him to a high-rise building, and saw that after the door was opened, rows of coffin-like beds were stacked together.
Yisiman asked curiously: "What is this?"
The wolf demon said: "This is a coffin room. As long as you sign a contract and hand over your body to be used as a furnace every day, you don't need to charge rent."
Yi Siman asked doubtfully: "A furnace cauldron?"
The wolf demon introduced: "The higher ups will use your body to circulate Qi and blood. You don't have to do anything, just lie here every day. Food and drink are all included."
Yisiman frowned and said, "You just keep falling asleep like this?"
The wolf demon said: "That is not an ordinary sleep. You can see that they look like they are sleeping, but in fact, their bodies are hung with furnaces, and their spirits have fallen asleep and are working in the dreamland."
"Most of the people here are helpers from Tianxiatongxing and Zixin Bank."
"The physical body hangs around to earn rent, and the soul enters the dream to earn a second dose of Qi and blood. One person can work two jobs. Are you interested?"
At this moment, a big man came over, glanced at them coldly and said: "Only humans are welcome here, monsters are not welcome, you can leave."
The wolf demon said angrily: "Who stipulates that monsters are not allowed here! Mr. Chu has said it himself, everyone in the Night City treats monsters equally. If you dare to drive us away, be careful that I will report you!"
Yi Siman sighed, since the end of the war between humans and demons in the Central Plains, the conflict between humans and demons has become more and more intense.
Including local monsters all over the Central Plains, they have been discriminated against and hated by some human races.
Just as they were leaving the building, Yisiman saw an acquaintance: "Lei Yushu?"
The girl who looked more and more beautiful now glanced at the other party: "Yisiman? Are you... looking for a house? Don't you know that we are all assigned houses?"
After a while, Yi Siman followed Lei Yushu and walked towards the core area.
On the way, Yi Siman complained to the other party about the experience of viewing the house: "...the house prices are getting more and more outrageous, right? Aren't the Chamber of Commerce going to put some pressure on it?"
Lei Yushu said calmly: "Although our Qi regulating products are powerful, most of the time they only absorb about 50% of the users' Qi and blood."
"But now the house in the blessed land allows a warrior to spend decades of hard work and energy in one go, and even absorb the energy and blood of his parents, brothers, and sisters at home."
"If you include the housing loan, then the energy and blood of the next twenty or thirty years will be handed over to us in advance."
"But they also shared the benefits and obtained more cultivation resources."
Yisiman felt a chill in his body and mind after hearing this.
Lei Yushu on the side said enthusiastically: "Master said that only by concentrating your strength can you accomplish great things."
"The world of Emperor Tian may come at any time, and the Gang Qi layer will eventually break through."
"It's still far from peace."
"If the human and demon tribes want to truly live a good life, they must squeeze out every ounce of their potential and use all their strength to become stronger."
"The purpose of the blessed land is to improve the efficiency of everyone's cultivation, and then bring together the power of everyone and demons to build the blessed land, or invest it in geniuses who need more energy and blood to continue to improve the efficiency of the whole society."
"In the future, every warrior will have an apartment in a blessed land, and even every commoner will have a house to live in. May all living beings in the world be free and happy."
"What our credit department wants to do is such a big thing."
"do you understand?"
After finishing speaking, Lei Yushu stopped, looked at the huge building in front of him and said: "Here we are, this is the center of Wanfo New District, the center of Qi and blood circulation in the country, and the highest Jiazi blessed land."
"This is also where you will work in the future, Yisiman."
"You remember, here, regardless of human race or monster race, as long as you complete the monthly assessment, you don't even have to come to work every day..."
…
Inside the whirling palace.
Row after row of monster clones were reading books sent from all over the Central Plains, just like a knowledge factory, constantly collecting massive amounts of knowledge into Chu Qiguang's mind.
In the quiet room on the other side, Chu Qiguang once again completed the reconstruction of the various aspects of the Vajra, and this time achieved another core transformation.
"Phases of the future."
"Be able to see the transformation of various future possibilities."
"It is said that there is never more than one future."
"Let's see if that's the case."
The transformation of the Buddha's realm suddenly spreads and disappears.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Qiguang felt that his body began to exude an ethereal aura as the new transformation of the Holy Spirit appeared.
He felt as if he had spread to every corner of the room, as if he might appear anywhere in it at the next moment.
"It's really not easy to achieve this transformation."
Chu Qiguang looked at the 19th halo behind him that transcended all colors, and could feel that his combat power had improved to another level.
"In this way, I now have the Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaosong, the Pure Buddha Kingdom, Sumeru in the palm of my hand, and the future appearances, a total of four core transformations..."
I saw him clasping his hands together, and then the handprints changed, and shadows appeared one after another behind him.
At the same time, the transformation of the four great saints was blurred for a while, and then temporarily transformed into one transformation.
"The immeasurable heart seal of the future."
"The future is infinite, and all sentient beings are limitless."
"One of the supernatural powers passed down in the name of the future Buddha."
"Be able to penetrate the barrier between past and future."
"Future Buddha is a demon Buddha from the future."
"It is said that he was so terrible that he once destroyed the entire world."
"But for some reason, it was stopped in the end."
Looking at his newly acquired power and the changes in the information in the seeker's eyes, Chu Qiguang sighed: "In the future, the immeasurable heart seal will also be truly perfected. Only the last step of the transformation to become a saint is needed to reach the perfection of this magical power.
realm."
"But if you want to create your own magical powers, there may still be a long way to go."
"According to Huang Daoxu, Qiao Zhi, and the Immortal Buddha, the magical powers and secrets of the Tongsheng realm are extremely important. In the future, Shenyou and even the Tianyuan realm will develop based on this magical power."
"What your magical power is like is related to the direction and potential of your future realm."
"I should create one that is more suitable for me and can better coordinate with my own method of rectification."
Chu Qiguang thought of this and looked at Jin Nu beside him: "Is there any new news?"
Jin Nu said: "The new city in the grassland is about to be built. The new city is close to Jiubian and the land is fertile. It is very suitable to become a trade center in the north in the future. The old demon of Blood River invites you to attend the banquet..."
"The troops for the Western Expedition have been trained, and the Ministry of War plans to go out in a month..."
"Bo Nan seems to be wavering recently. Do you need to see him?"
Chu Qiguang said casually: "Ask him why Dazhu sent people to Qingyang County in the first place. If he doesn't answer, just continue to draw his blood."
Jinnu continued: "The tax reform in Lingzhou has been completed. The cabinet asked you whether to promote it in Yongzhou or Donghaizhou next..."
"An extreme resistance organization that calls itself the Ancient Dragon Soul has emerged among the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea. The main location of its activities is the Dragon Palace, and the Dragon Palace is located 10,000 meters under the sea, which is very difficult for our management.
Recently, someone hijacked a caravan at sea and scuttled a ship patrolling the coastline of the Zhenmo Division. Ancient Dragon Soul admitted that it was their attack..."
Chu Qiguang raised his eyebrows: "Dragon Palace, it seems I'd better go there myself."
…
The bottom of the East China Sea.
There is a huge underwater city full of jewels and splendor.
As the only city of the Dragon Clan, countless sea monsters gather here, and the wealth of the Dragon Clan has been accumulated from generation to generation.
But with the defeat of the Dragon Clan and the arrival of the Human Clan, the atmosphere in the entire underwater Dragon Palace became weird.
After the power of the Taiyuan Dragon Emperor was eliminated and he became a symbolic existence, and the Dragon Clan began to reorganize the cabinet under the intervention of the Han Dynasty, some radical Dragon Clan began to resolve to resist.
After all, the dragon clan and the Han people have a deep hatred, and many dragons look down on humans from the bottom of their hearts due to historical and cultural reasons.
This resulted in the Han Dynasty's reform of the East China Sea Dragon Clan being extremely slow and met with a lot of resistance.
Shenlong Bank, Donghai Workshop, and Dragon Blood Chamber of Commerce, which the Chamber of Commerce invested in Dragon Palace, have all been unable to implement good work.
But on this day, a figure appeared above the Dragon Palace.
King Kong's light enveloped him, instantly alarming all the dragons and sea monsters in the Dragon Palace.
I saw Chu Qiguang forming seals with his hands, which were transformed from the immutable root seal to the Vajra Wheel Seal, and finally the Wisdom Achievement Seal.
Along with the changes in the handprints, the future immeasurable heart seal will show his miracles in this world for the first time.
In an instant, shadows similar to Chu Qiguang appeared behind him.
The power of the future was directly injected into Chu Qiguang's body at this moment, and his momentum increased at an incredible speed.
Then Chu Qiguang reached out and grabbed it.
A loud rumble came, and the entire Dragon Palace shook violently.
Immediately afterwards, in a series of loud noises that made the scalps of countless giant dragons numb, the entire Dragon Palace suddenly rose towards the sea with Chu Qiguang's grasp.
