40,000 Years of Cultivation

Bai Xinghe tore open the metal film on the seal of a bottle of high-energy nutrient, drank it "gumbling", licked the corner of his mouth, burped very comfortably, and asked, "What about you, what is your purpose? ?"

"The refining style of your crystal armor is completely different from that of several high-end crystal armor refining centers in the cultivation world. The materials used are even more precious. Just now, I threw three punches with all my strength, but I didn't even use this crystal armor. His breastplate is cracked!"

"It's unfathomable to be able to refine such a set of crystal armor, to be able to cultivate a master like you, and the power hidden behind you!"

"As a representative of such a mysterious force, Li Yao, what are you doing to the Spider's Nest in this troubled autumn? Wouldn't it be that you wanted to persuade me to abandon the shadows, cooperate with the cultivation world, and fight the immortal cultivators together? Haha, hahahaha! "

Li Yao was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I am not."

"Boss Bai, in the star thief circle, you are fairly disciplined. In the decades since you became the king of star thief, you have rarely gone out to looting yourself, as long as you **** blood from other star thief groups."

"Compared with a mad dog like Feng Yuzhong, you seem to have no evil."

"However, a few decades ago, when you made your fortune, you were still burning, killing, looting, doing nothing, and you didn't know how many innocent people's blood was stained on your hands!"

"That's right, as long as others don't resist, you won't kill people, but the goods that others bought in exchange for real money may still be robbed of you in vain. Why don't they resist?"

"Boss Bai, I admire your strategy and courage, so I call you "Boss Bai", but in the final analysis, you are no different from wind and rain, you are all scumbags."

"If a scum like you can wash white, can cast aside the dark, can lay down the butcher knife, and become a Buddha, wouldn't it be unfair to those innocent people who died tragically under your butcher knife?"

"I don't want to lie to you, nor can I lie to you."

"The enemy's enemy is not necessarily a friend. Although the immortal cultivator is the greatest threat right now, as long as the time is right, I will still find ways to kill you and be fair to the innocent people who died under your butcher knife!"

"well said!"

Bai Xinghe laughed, "I started to like you from the bottom of my heart, Li Yao!"

"Do you think you are noble and just?"

Li Yao stood upright and said coldly: "Compared with a star thief like you, I am indeed noble and righteous. More importantly, I am willing to pay the price for the justice I insist on at any time!"

"well."

Bai Xinghe gave a high-five, "In this world, many self-proclaimed mature people don’t believe in justice and think that justice is just a joke for children to play. In fact, they are not unbelief, but fear, they are weak and afraid from the bottom of their hearts Pay the price for the practice of justice."

"Although what you insist is just an ignorant justice, this persistence still touches me."

"Compared with you, a noble, just, and persistent cultivator, we are selfish, self-interested, looting, all-powerful star thief, and those cultivators who are greedy for life, fear of death, and dehumanize. Real scum!"

"but--"

Bai Xinghe's expression suddenly became extremely weird. He blinked and said mysteriously, "Do you want to know how the star thief came from? How did the cultivator come from?"

"Why, should originally defend human civilization, protect ordinary people, come forward at a critical moment, and cultivators who have forgotten their lives will degenerate step by step and become star thief or even immortal cultivator in the dark sea of ​​stars?"

"Tell you, it's very simple, really simple."

"In just one second, with a single finger move, a cultivator will transform into an immortal cultivator. Once it has changed, it will never change again, and it will never change again, haha, hahahaha!"

Li Yao moved in his heart and said eagerly, "Do you know the truth about the cultivator?"

Bai Xinghe smiled rather than smile, and pointed to his feet: "Yes, the truth is here."

Li Yao Daqi: "Thorn Star Pavilion? You just said that this is an observatory."

Bai Xinghe said: "Yes, this is an observatory, to be precise, it is an observatory that specializes in the study of'celestial calamity'."

Li Yao didn't understand, what is the relationship between the observatory that studies the celestial calamity and the appearance of the cultivator?

Bai Xinghe smiled and continued: "Have you ever heard of a theory called'Dark Forest'?"

Li Yao blinked his eyes and said the words "Dark Forest". He once heard Huangfu Xiaoya, the heir of a thousand-year-old sword-making family, on the transport ship of the Palace of Longevity.

At that time Huangfu Xiaoya said, if the universe is a dark forest...

Later, on Tieyuan, he also heard Xiong Wuji say that if the universe is really a dark forest with nowhere to go, he will also open a way and set fire!

At that time, Li Yao didn't think much, he thought it was a coincidence, and the two made the same analogy.

It turned out not to be a coincidence. Is "dark forest" a proper term?

Bai Xinghe said: "The Tribulation of Heaven has always been the biggest unsolvable mystery in the realm of cultivation. From the ancient repair era 40,000 years ago to today, there have been countless monks tirelessly exploring the mystery of the Tribulation, and countless species have also been produced. Theory to explain the catastrophe, the'Dark Forest Theory' is the most perfect and self-justified one."

"The dark forest theory was researched by the celestial catastrophe scientist Liu Cixing in this'thorn star pavilion' ten thousand years ago."

Heavenly Tribulation is the greatest mystery in the realm of cultivation, and it is also the most difficult mystery field in modern cultivation theories.

Some people even say that if you have an insight into the tribulation, you have an insight into the entire universe!

Li Yao couldn't help being deeply attracted by Bai Xinghe's words.

Sitting cross-legged, Bai Xinghe said while healing his injuries, "Ten thousand years ago, when the Spider's Nest was first discovered, countless cultivators who were proficient in geological prospecting came here to explore underground veins."

"According to the laws of the empire at that time, whenever a new mineral vein was explored, a part of the mining rights would be rewarded and belong to the discoverer. The more deeply buried, the more difficult it is to explore the mineral veins, the greater the proportion of mining rights he would get. high."

"At that time, there was a monk surnamed Liu who was talented and had a strong affinity for the earth system psychic powers. He was proficient in the art of earth escape. He galloped in the depths of the spider's nest star. Almost half of the spiritual veins and mineral deposits were covered. He unearthed it."

"Therefore, when large-scale development began, he was also abruptly rich, becoming a well-known mining tycoon in the entire empire, controlling the largest mining group on the Spider's Nest star, and naturally accumulating a lot of wealth, reaching the level of a wealthy country."

"The nest capital above our head is the headquarters of the Brother Liu Mining Group, half of which was built by him."

"The monk surnamed Liu has an only child, but it is the opposite of him. He doesn't like to go deep underground, but likes to explore the starry sky. After studying in the empire's most famous universities, he became a catastrophe expert."

"At that time, the study of Heavenly Tribulation was a prominent study."

"That was the time when human civilization was at its peak. The Xinghai Empire spanned thousands of worlds. In the process of expansion, in addition to the old opponent Monster Race, it also conquered countless alien races in the Starry Sky."

"That was the most magnificent era. All human beings are ambitious and eager to march into a deeper starry sky!"

"In the process of marching into the universe, of course you will encounter all kinds of alien races in the starry sky. Therefore, the study of all civilizations in the entire universe has become a very fashionable science."

"How many civilizations are hidden in the vast universe? Compared with our human civilization, are they strong or weak? Does each civilization know each other's existence? If you know, what is your attitude toward other civilizations? "

"These questions are all human beings at the time and need to be clarified urgently."

"Many scholars believe that the catastrophe is related to civilizations other than human beings. As long as the mystery of the catastrophe is solved, the truth of the universe will be understood."

"On the other hand, regardless of the ancient repair era or the Xinghai Empire era, human civilization has suffered many tribulations, and has a very deep understanding of the power of tribulations."

"Therefore, some people thought, since the power of the tribulation is so great, can we use the tribulation as a weapon?"

"Study the tribulation, intercept the tribulation, capture the tribulation, crack the tribulation, and finally, achieve the "weaponization" and "mass production" of the tribulation, so that the tribulation will be used by our human civilization and become invincible and invincible. The ultimate weapon!"

Li Yao was dumbfounded.

He was deeply shocked by the mankind of the Xinghai Empire era, that kind of lofty sentiment and ambition to conquer everything!

I actually want to use the robbery as a weapon. This is the real "world's strongest fighting race", the style it should have!

"Driven by these two starting points, the brightest minds in the Xinghai Empire era have all devoted themselves to the study of the catastrophe."

"However, the illusory, mysterious and unpredictable catastrophe is extremely difficult to observe, let alone research and capture. This is a very expensive project. Most of the catastrophe experts only Only by attaching to the empire, under the leadership of the Twenty Yuanshi sects and the military, can the research be carried out."

"The only son of Liu, a mining tycoon, is different."

"His father is rich in the enemy's country, and the science of the heavenly catastrophe is also a prominent school in the world. Since the only child has the talent in this area, of course he strongly supports it. !"

"Therefore, the father and son Liu used their wealth to collect the most precious treasures of heaven, material and earth in the flying star realm, and the super crystal brain with the most powerful computing power. They also rely on rich experience in mining veins in the spider's nest. Under the stars, a huge observatory, or the'Heaven Tribulation Research Center' has been built!"

"Relying on the strength of one family and one name, it is certainly not an easy task to build such a deeply buried star palace. The construction cycle lasts for several decades. During this period, many changes have taken place. Even the mining tycoons are old and weak, and have passed away. ."

"His son, however, did not waver. After inheriting the entire mining group, he gave up all his fortune, like a devil, and finally built this ‘Assassin’!"

"The word "Thorn Star" is the ambition of the monk surnamed Liu, so people from later generations will call him'Liu Thorn Star' by the name of the house, precisely because he wants to-pierce the secrets of the stars!"
