Chapter 4 Two Hundred Years Later

Time flies, and two hundred years fly by.

In the past two hundred years, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ has been developing at a rapid pace.

And as the population grows from generation to generation, the speed of this development is getting faster and faster.

This is due to the development of the ‘Tai Chi Circle’ island chain from scratch.

In order to better improve the living environment and strengthen themselves, both ordinary people and sect disciples have put a lot of effort into it.

While solving various difficulties, it also gave rise to countless inventions and creations.

The overhead bridge that spans between the islands in the 'Tai Chi Circle' island chain is one of them.

The "Tai Chi Circle" island chain has nearly two thousand islands, which are either far or close to each other.

With the rapid development of Yiqi Nanzong in the 'Tai Chi Circle' island chain, countless practice items related to daily life have been perfected through experiments one after another.

This has attracted the attention of some sharp-minded people, and a large number of businessmen gather here almost every day.

Among them are not only large merchants in the secular world, but also city managers from various sects and families.

The purpose of their coming here is very simple, just to trade with Yiqi Nanzong.

All kinds of practice items that are integrated into daily life are included in the transaction sequence.

Because of the distance between the island chains, the mountain boats are unable to enter them due to their large size.

Therefore, round-trip transportation can only be carried out by medium-sized sea ships, and thousands of ships can be seen traveling between many islands every day.

However, too many ships shuttle between the islands of the island chain, often congesting together, and even affecting the daily life of Yiqi Nanzong.

For this purpose, Zhang Ke set up a special department, the ‘Transshipment Department’, which specialized in the trading of all commodities within the territory of Yiqi Nanzong.

And a large island near the sea that can accommodate ten mountain boats at the same time was selected in the island chain specifically to receive traders from all over the world.

At the same time, in order to alleviate the congestion in the sea area, under the leadership of Xu Qingzhi, it took nearly a hundred years to build a set of flying bridges covering the entire island chain.

There are 3,600 bridges in total, divided into three levels according to the different heights of each island. Each level has 24 nodes that closely connect the islands like a spider web.

Some sect disciples have tested that from any island to any other island, you only need to change up to three bridges to reach it.

The use of magic in it amazes all knowledgeable people.

The Jiakong Bridge was completed under the auspices of Lord Fenghua, and his disciples completed the design and construction of the bridge.

Nine disciples have achieved Yuanshen, and hundreds more have achieved breakthroughs.

This unreasonable advancement even alarmed Zhang Ke, who was working with many masters to develop a new practice system.

After some understanding, I found that this 'carpenter's door' promotion method is not suitable for other practitioners.

‘Jiang Sect’ is inherited from ‘Lu Ban Shu’ and is a sect that emphasizes the application of knowledge and the unity of knowledge and action.

Whether it is design or construction, as long as you can gain insights from it, you can quickly increase your cultivation level.

It seems to be very suitable for practice, but in fact it is not easy.

Ordinary architecture and creation are difficult to inspire and inspire.

Otherwise, the ‘Tiangsmen’ would already be the largest sect in the world.

But now there is an opportunity. The 'Tai Chi Circle' is full of waste and is waiting to be renovated. According to Xu Qingzhi's previous strategy, almost every island has a unique design concept.

Coupled with the unparalleled design of the overhead bridge.

All of this exhausted the efforts of everyone in the sect, and at the same time gave the disciples of the ‘Craftsman Sect’ the best performance.

After much promotion, huge benefits were finally achieved when the bridge was completed.

In one fell swoop, nine disciples were promoted to the level of Yuanshen, and Zhenjun Fenghua took this opportunity to advance to the 'Dongtian Realm'.

He became the fourth True Lord of Yuanshen to advance to the 'Dongtian Realm' in the sect's two hundred years.

This incident had a great impact within the sect, and for a long time thereafter, new disciples of the sect focused their attention on the inheritance system of the 'Craftsman Sect'.

For this reason, Xu Qingzhi even explicitly asked Zhang Ke for instructions, believing that this would increase the proportion of the 'craftsman sect' system in the sect's inheritance and needed to be curbed.

But Zhang Ke thinks this is a good thing.

Because the inheritance of ‘Takumi Sect’ has a great characteristic, that is, it is closely related to the lives of ordinary people.

The more practitioners of the ‘Carpenter Sect’ inheritance, the faster the sect will develop.

Regarding this point, Xu Qingzhi felt a little confused. She was worried that if the 'Takumi Sect' system was too powerful, it would overshadow the others.

With the support of the nine true Lords of the Soul, the 'Tiangsmen' system has now become the most powerful system in the sect, second only to the Penglai system.

Moreover, it is obvious that this faction will spread at a faster rate.

Zhang Ke didn't pay attention to Xu Qingzhi's concerns. His layout was no longer within the sect's own inheritance. What he was looking at was the overall layout of the sect in the future.

Aerial bridges crisscross the sky. Due to the length and height of the bridges, they are inaccessible to ordinary people.

Even before the bridge was built, the sect issued a mission on how to allow ordinary people to pass between the islands.

Ding Yuansheng, a Jindan disciple from the Jiqiao Sect, finally designed a means of passage.

The transportation tool he designed is called a "pulley", and its style is similar to the train in Zhang Ke's dream.

It is also composed of carriages with wheels underneath, and magnetic traction yin and yang arrays are arranged at both ends of the 'pulley'.

It slides and travels through the power of traction and repulsion, so it is called a 'slide'.

A 'sliding trolley' can drive up to sixty carriages, and its transport capacity is equivalent to three times that of a medium-sized ship.

On a bridge, six 'pulleys' were traveling side by side at the same time.

Rails are also laid on the bridge deck, and their width matches the wheels of the "pulley" to ensure that the "pulley" will not fall off the track.

And every certain road section, there are magnetic array nodes to guide and push the 'pulley' to travel, and its maximum speed can reach thousands of miles a day.

In order to make the "pulley" operate reasonably, Yiqi Nanzong established a separate department to handle daily operations.

You must know that the sect has refined tens of thousands of 'pulleys', which absolutely requires reasonable overall management.

When Zhang Ke saw this design, he couldn't help but sigh.

There are three thousand avenues, different paths leading to the same destination. When things reach critical points, their changes are always surprisingly similar.

The emergence of overhead bridges and "pulleys" directly increased the development speed of the "Tai Chi Circle" several times.

Taking the past as an example, from the southernmost point of the Tai Chi Circle to the northernmost point, no matter how many times it was necessary to change ships.

Even if a medium-sized ship sails at the fastest speed without sleep, it will take nearly three days to reach the north end from the south.

But now that there is an overhead bridge, it can be reached in one day at most.

This not only shortens the time by two days, but also enhances work efficiency.

The emergence of the overhead bridge and the "pulley" are only relatively important things in the two hundred years of Yiqi Nanzong.

There are as many other inventions and creations as stars. From this, we can see how rapidly the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ has developed in the past two hundred years.

...

This morning.

The top floor of the Star Building.

Xu Qingzhi is discussing several matters with more than 600 Yuanshen True Monarchs from various sects.

Most of the more than 600 Yuanshen True Lords came from the Eastern Region, and a small number came from other regions.

This discussion was initiated by Xu Qingzhi, and there were three main contents.

One is the large-scale transaction of [Kong Xingzhou].

[Airborne Boat] is also a major invention of Yiqi Nanzong in the past two hundred years.

This is a kind of ship that can fly rapidly in the air. It is nine feet long and its appearance is no different from a sailboat in the water.

It operates in a floating, magnetic traction and other magic circles, with a maximum speed of up to a hundred miles per hour.

Different from the single-person flight of the "One-Child Pan", the "Air Boat" is a flying magic weapon that can carry multiple people.

‘Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong’ has released three models of [King Xingzhou] that can accommodate ten people, fifty people, and two hundred people.

When this magical instrument first appeared sixty years ago, it caused a sensation in the entire spiritual practice world.

There is no practitioner who does not understand what walking in the sky means.

In fact, after the method of refining the 'One-Chi Pan' was spread to the world, all sects were secretly developing flying magic weapons.

Some sects have also achieved their own achievements, and all kinds of strange flying magic weapons have also appeared in the practice world.

However, all these flying instruments developed have two problems that cannot be solved.

The first is the cost issue. Refining a flying magic weapon requires a lot of resources and cannot be popularized at all.

In this case, it can only be used as a transportation tool for some wealthy practitioners and cannot play a greater role.

The second is the problem of mass production. Only the best weapon refiners can refine flying magic weapons, and it takes at least two years to refine a flying magic weapon.

This problem completely limits all sects that try to popularize flying magic weapons on a large scale.

But the [King Xingzhou] developed by the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong’.

Carrying the minimum number of ten people, the [King Xing Zhou] only costs 500 gold talismans, and the annual production of three thousand [King Xing Zhou] makes all sects sigh.

From this shocking data alone, we can see that the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ has obviously solved both of these problems.

From this day on, all the sects' mountain-protecting formations in the world focused on adding formations to protect the air.

The prices of array spiritual materials such as 'Forbidden Sky', 'Exploration', and 'Appearance' have skyrocketed.

In the past few decades, countless sects have come to Yiqi Nanzong for transactions, and the accumulated orders have even been queued for decades to come.

Therefore, after learning that Xu Qingzhi's discussion included the transaction of "Sky Boat", many sects rushed to it as quickly as possible.

Secondly, regarding the release of special ‘Shunfeng Er’ and the deployment of base stations.

‘Shunfeng Er’ was deduced and developed sixteen years ago by Lu Yuhuan, a disciple of Yiqi Nanzong.

Lu Yuhuan is a female cultivator with the Taoist name "Jinghuan" and also comes from the "Ji Qiao Sect".

Her qualifications are not too outstanding. Although she has already achieved Jindan Zhenren, she has been stuck in the Dragon and Tiger Realm for hundreds of years.

In his life, he likes to delve into inventions most. When he was in the "Ji Qiao Sect", he wanted to solve the mystery of the "clock".

She spent thirty years studying every component and operating principle of the [Clock], and she compiled thousands of pages of rune paper alone.

You can see what a paranoid person this is.

After joining the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', she became interested in a task initiated by the sect.

Sect level task: Research a magical weapon that can communicate with each other.

Rewards: A piece of acquired spiritual treasure, one hundred thousand gold talismans, some cherished resources, and one self-imposed request.

So they spent nearly two hundred years observing and researching the ninth-grade innate spiritual treasure [Sound Transmitting Bell].

Finally, he cracked the principle of this spiritual treasure and refined a special magical weapon named [Shunfeng Ear].

When he finished refining this magic weapon, he almost ran out of oil and reached the end of his lifespan.

After two hundred years of whole-hearted devotion, even Zhang Ke had such a perseverance and perseverance.

Therefore, after Xu Qingzhi reported the matter to him, Zhang Ke immediately sent Lu Yuhuan to inquire.

After asking about the situation, Zhang Ke greatly admired Lu Yuhuan's temperament and took out a newly ripe 'flat peach' and asked him to take it.

Then he took another piece of 'Zhilanxing' to help him break through the realm of Yuanshen.

As for the many other rewards, there are still many.

The news that Lu Yuhuan broke through to the realm of Yuanshen before the end of his lifespan brought a great shock to all the disciples of the sect.

In the world of spiritual practice, if one cannot break through to the realm of Yuanshen before the age of 600, there is basically no hope.

But Lu Yuhuan broke this shackles, and countless people in the sect speculated that their leader might have mastered a method that could definitely break through the realm of the soul.

In the following years, many Jindan disciples who were approaching the end of their lifespan asked for help from Zhang Ke to find ways to break the mirror.

But everyone who spoke was severely reprimanded by Zhang Ke.

Among them is Zhenjun Jiuren, the oldest member of the sect.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After this incident, many disciples learned a little bit about Lu Yuhuan's behavior.

Perhaps only by making great achievements that can be recognized by the sect can you achieve what you want.

Because of the impact of this incident, the mission issued by the sect immediately attracted the attention of all disciples.

The 'Shunfeng Er' magical weapon developed by Lu Yuhuan is also a bell.

Through the formation of the magic weapon, you can talk to people hundreds of miles away who also have the "Shunfeng Ear" magic weapon.

However, this magic weapon also has several limitations. First, it can only communicate with a maximum of nine people.

Secondly, this magic weapon has a shortcoming, that is, it can only make calls within three hundred miles. If the distance is further away, it will not be able to receive.

If these two problems are not solved, although this magical instrument has great effects, it also has limitations.

However, Zhang Ke, who had experienced the dream, easily suggested a solution.

More than two hundred years ago, when Zhang Ke used "infrasound waves" to kill the Zerg on a large scale in the void outside the territory, he constructed a magical weapon that could transmit sound waves through vibration.

[Sonic vibration threaded column]

He told Lu Yuhuan the principle of this magical weapon, and after ten years of deduction, Lu Yuhuan finally designed a formation that could spread and extend the communication distance of the "Shunfeng Er" magical weapon.

【Sound Wave Diffusion Base Station】

As long as this array is constructed in different areas, the communication distance of the 'Shunfeng Ear' instrument can be extended through the base station.

As for the disadvantage of being able to talk to only nine people, it cannot be solved for the time being. This requires more people to join in for research and development.

Xu Qingzhi this time wanted to reach a consensus with other sects on the establishment of the 'Shunfeng Er' magical weapon and base station.

There is no way, if you want this magic weapon to play its greatest role, all the sects in the world must participate.

Otherwise, the [Sound Wave Diffusion Base Station] array alone will not be able to spread, let alone anything else.

As for the third item discussed by Xu Qingzhi, it is an idea.

Bank!

Zhang Ke told Xu Qingzhi about the idea of ​​"Qianzhuang" more than a hundred years ago, and after that, she had this idea in her mind.

Don’t look at the rapid development of ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’, with huge amounts of income coming in every day.

But rapid development also means the investment of countless resources, and many projects are large investments that cannot see returns for the time being.

For example, take the area of ​​‘compulsory education’.

After another two hundred years of development, the population of ordinary people in the 'Tai Chi Circle' island chain has surged to 900 million.

And the largest proportion of them are young people under the age of 20.

You can imagine the terrible pressure on resources that nine years of 'compulsory education' will bring.

Twenty years ago, after deliberation, the two laws on 'compulsory education' and 'encouraging childbirth' promulgated by Zhang Ke when he established the sect were abolished.

‘Compulsory education’ is changed to six years. If you want to continue studying, you need to spend your own money.

‘Encourage childbearing’ has been completely abolished, and there are no longer various rewards. From now on, whether to have children or not will be entirely voluntary, and the sect will not be involved.

The abolition of these two laws caused quite a stir within the Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect.

Accustomed to the benefits of not having to pay, everyone takes these two laws for granted.

The repeal of the two laws made everyone in the secular world feel a loss, and a wave of demonstrations even broke out.

This is the disadvantage of universal education. The imprisoned thoughts are liberated. After their own interests are harmed, they will spontaneously defend themselves.

But after all, this is a world where Taoism manifests itself.

The ‘Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong’ did not compromise this time as ordinary people in the secular world thought.

Instead, all organizers who intend to cause trouble and incite others to cause chaos will be arrested.

All leaders who caused death or injury to others were publicly beheaded. In seven days, 700 people's heads fell to the ground.

Such a cruel scene immediately made the people of the 'Tai Chi Circle' island chain instantly understand who was the master of this area.

Of course, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong' did not blindly suppress it with force.

Immediately afterwards, countless disciples were sent to go deep into each island to make public the huge pressure to maintain these two laws and the reasons why these two laws were lifted.

The greatest advantage of opening people's wisdom is that they can distinguish right from wrong and true from false.

Through calculations, many ordinary people suddenly understood that over the past hundreds of years, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect’ had actually paid so much for the secular world.

And the disadvantages of having more children and raising more are gradually becoming clear.

The lifespan of practitioners is very long, and there are records of 'shadow beads', so the images of those who migrated here from Penglai Sea are still preserved.

When countless ordinary people saw the dense sea of ​​​​people on Penglai Island from the "Shadow Pearl".

I finally realized that if fertility is encouraged without restriction, my offspring may no longer have a foothold in the future.

In addition to these, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' has also launched countless projects in the past two hundred years.

Therefore, even though huge amounts of income flowed into the sect's treasury every day, Xu Qingzhi still felt that he was stretched to make ends meet when operating these resources.

Therefore, she plans to work with the sects all over the world to establish two major chain banks.

One is in the secular world, and the other is in the spiritual world.

It’s just that the size of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ is not enough to complete this task.

Therefore, she is prepared to lobby all the top sects in the world to jointly promote this plan, and she is even prepared to give up some other profits for this purpose.

At this time, a large number of sect representatives have arrived on the top floor of the Star-Zhaing Building. What she has to do now is to wait for representatives of other high-grade sects to enter.
