The Blue Star Group discussed it for more than a day, and then Zhang Hao flew back to Scarlet Pearl without stopping to report the situation to his new master, Anti-Lei Xingfeng.
“There are basically two things that can be determined now.
First, the Longyuan Empire is preparing to explore the path of the Demon Saint, and it should already have some clues. At the end of the day, there are even people in the Longyuan Empire who have half-footed their way into the Demon Saint's territory.
Second, the Longyuan Empire is recruiting more practitioners who are at the peak of Daluo Jinxian, and may be preparing to train more Demon Saints.
Master, we have learned before. In the past, the peak Daluo Jinxian could be directly promoted to a quasi-sage. But the Longyuan Empire seems to be preparing to do this and create a demon saint.
Although the current Zhoutian Formation can allow more people to enter the Great Perfection of the Great Luo Jinxian, the Great Perfection is not a quasi-sage after all. Over the years, it is unknown how many Great Perfections of the Great Luo Jinxian the Zhoutian world has accumulated. Previously, my senior brother said one or two thousand.
After discussion and analysis, we believe that if the Demon Saint’s method really succeeds, the entire Zhoutian world will be shaken. The consequences are unpredictable.”
"We still don't know what kind of combat power the Demon Saint has. But if there are hundreds of Daluo Jinxian who are causing trouble in Dzogchen, and more Daluo Jinxian are at the peak, I'm afraid things will get out of hand.
Especially the Demon Saint Virus that cooperates with the other party. Although we are currently researching a vaccine, judging from the current situation, even if a vaccine is really developed, it will not be popularized in a short time."
Lei Xingfeng just nodded lightly and drank tea quietly without speaking.
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, seeing that Lei Xingfeng didn't respond, he took the teapot and started to get busy.
After a while, after Lei Xingfeng drank almost two pots of tea, Lei Xingfeng finally sighed: "Actually, the quasi-sages have known about the problem of the Demon Saint for a long time. But everyone's opinions are not unanimous.
Some people think it should be stopped in advance.
But more people think it's okay to indulge a little bit.
Over the years, it has become more and more difficult for Quasi-Saints to break through, so everyone wants to see if there are other methods, and they have been looking for them. If the Demon Saint's method is feasible, maybe it can be used as a reference. And if there are only one or two Demon Saints, there is no need to worry about the opponent making trouble.
Something happened.
After all, the entire Zhoutian Formation is under the control of Quasi-Sage.
When necessary, we can completely mobilize the formation to execute the ‘God’s Punishment’!”
Mobilize the entire Zhoutian formation to execute the divine punishment? Although it was just a simple sentence, Zhang Hao felt an indescribable domineering and grandeur from it.
Mobilizing the energy of the entire Zhoutian world, it seems that many quasi-sages need to work together to implement the divine punishment. What kind of power will it have?
Is it the power of a saint?
Zhang Hao didn't speak, still thinking about the word 'God's punishment'.
Lei Xingfeng paused for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he asked Zhang Hao again: "How long is it estimated that the Blue Star Group's vaccine will take?"
Zhang Hao suddenly scratched his head: "This...Master, I really can't determine the time."
"Huh? Blue Star Group's statement to the outside world is that it won't take long. It also said that preliminary results have been achieved and there will be good news within a year at most."
Zhang Hao is gritting his teeth now: "Master, of course the words you say to the outside world should be nicer, at least it can comfort people. But the reality is that good news does not mean success.
Vaccine research, like almost all scientific research, may sometimes have an idea and results will be available in a few days. But most of them are accumulated little by little and make breakthroughs little by little.
Sometimes a technology looks simple in retrospect, but may take years or decades to research. It is quite like an epiphany in practice.
Therefore, I really cannot give a timetable for when the vaccine will be developed. Especially now that this virus is related to the genes of quasi-sages; and the virus vaccine cannot destroy the genes of the practitioners themselves."
"Hey... no wonder Zhou Xueyao suggested sealing Guan Shanyu. I finally understand."
What could Zhang Hao say, he could only giggle.
Lei Xingfeng lay down in the chair and watched the TV series being played on the big screen in front of him. He didn't know what he was thinking for a while.
Zhang Hao washed and poured the tea quickly.
Unconsciously, after drinking another pot of tea, Lei Xingfeng finally responded: "As for the plague, there are currently no elixirs, cultivation methods, etc. that can treat it?"
"No! Generally, normal illness occurs because the human body is resisting external invasion. Because external invasion is harmful.
But this time the virus actually comes from the genes of the quasi-sage. The human body even instinctively thinks that these viruses are beneficial and will actively cooperate with the viruses to reproduce.
To put it simply, the human body cannot recognize the virus and cannot produce an immune response.
There are even some extreme cases, because the basic cells of the human body will instinctively think that the Demon Saint Virus is beneficial and will protect the Demon Saint Virus. This kind of situation is rarely found at present, but it is not impossible.
At present, we believe that only the body genes of Daluo Jinxian and Dzogchen do not need quasi-holy genes. In other words, Daluo Jinxian and Dzogchen can avoid infection."
Lei Xingfeng felt that he had learned something again, and nodded slowly: "In other words, the infected person's body is actually killing itself? Does the human body have its own consciousness?"
"It can be said that although we are conscious, the human body's instincts still exist. The human body instincts of practitioners are even stronger.
But instinct is not consciousness. It is an unconscious reaction unique to life. If it must be said, maybe it can be called "subconscious".
The most dangerous thing about the Demonic Saint Virus this time is that it deceives the human body’s instinctive response, making things even more difficult, and even vaccine research has been repeatedly hindered.”
"Is there nothing we can do for the time being?"
"The only way at present is to lower the cultivation level proposed by Miao Xiaoyu.
At present, it seems that the human body will not show symptoms until the virus multiplies until it breaks the balance of the body, but by this time it is too late. The only way at this time is to lower the level of cultivation and rely on the strong physical foundation of the practitioner to rebuild vitality
.
But this is only temporary. Once the cultivation level increases again, the symptoms will continue and worsen rapidly.
However, in case of emergency, we can use this method to deal with emergencies.
And the current vaccine research is actually pretty good overall.”
"Oh...how is this good?"
"In fact, the research laboratory now has several vaccines, but while these vaccines cut off the Demon Saint virus, they will also cut off the patient's own genes.
Especially once the vaccine takes effect, it will always remain in the body. If the practitioner wants to break through the Golden Immortal or Daluo Golden Immortal in the future, and the genes need to be changed, these vaccines will come out to cause chaos and cut off the genetic chain. The consequences will be unimaginable.
Currently, the research team is checking the genome of the Demon Holy Virus bit by bit, hoping to find some unique mutations and carry out targeted attacks.
However, there are 3 billion genomes. According to the current sequencing speed, it will take at least five years to complete the test. Then, targeted vaccines, shearing enzymes, etc. must be equipped. Therefore, the theoretical time for successful vaccine research is ten years.
However, if there are any major discoveries during the research process, or there are any special advances in technology, the time may be greatly shortened.
Overall, vaccine research is very optimistic.
It may be difficult to develop a real vaccine within one year, but the possibility is not impossible; but within five years, the vaccine will definitely be successfully developed."
Lei Xingfeng was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Anyway, as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about the situation in the Longyuan Empire. Just take care of the vaccine.
You don’t have to worry too much about the demon saints and the saints from the heavenly demon world.
In addition, you should also prepare here. Glacier Tianjun is also leaving. It is estimated that he will arrive in the next two days. Then Blue Star Group will come out to receive him.
But be careful...well, forget it, it's nothing, just go ahead."
Zhang Hao:......
Oh shit, you veteran have made it clear. Is it because Binghe Tianjun has a bad temper? Or is it that Binghe Tianjun has a small belly?
Counting on his fingers, what Blue Star Group has done recently has almost made Binghe Tianjun angry over and over again.
From the initial murder of Prince Gong, to the defeat of Mo Qiuyu, and now to the apprenticeship of Lei Xingfeng.
By the way, why did Zhang Hao become a disciple of Lei Xingfeng? Because he defeated Binghe Tianjun!
Thinking about these causes and effects, Zhang Hao felt that his legs were a little weak.
However, seeing that Lei Xingfeng had no desire to explain, Zhang Hao could only carefully leave the room and close the door; while Lei Xingfeng continued to watch the drama.
