Ruins of the past

The Supreme Leader looked at Chu Qiguang in front of him, and the relevant information about the person in front of him also reflected in his mind.

'A strange man with mysterious origins, but trusted by Taixu Taoist Ancestor, and presiding over the Nine Blessings Plan of Heaven and Man...'

‘Through his observations over the past six months...he has been trying to think of ways to gather the resources of the entire universe. ’

'But what is the purpose? ’

'After one year, if he fails to achieve the nine blessings of heaven and man, the Taoist ancestors will not let him go, and the master will only abandon him. ’

‘Chu Qiguang, what is his purpose? ’

'Anyway, let's use him to promote my progress for the time being...'

On the other side, Chu Qiguang thought to himself: 'Does the Tianyan beast... have anything to do with the Tianyan theory in the Han world? ’

‘Speaking of which, I didn’t find any record of Ji Wufan compiling “Secrets of the Purple Mansion” in Xu Dao Palace. ’

'So that means "Secrets of the Purple Mansion" was written after Ji Wufan left Xu Dao Palace, right? ’

‘Is there any connection between this and the Tianyan Beast that he paid attention to in the Xu Dao Palace last time? ’

'There is also the name Huangji Tianjun...'

Chu Qiguang always had a feeling in his heart, that is, the Tianyan Beast experiment that Ji Wufan was paying attention to before leaving Xu Dao Palace might be hiding some important secret.

I heard Chu Qiguang say again: "Xiao Tai, please take me to find Emperor Huangji. The project of the Heavenly Performing Beast may also be helpful to the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man."

Although Taishang Taoist Master didn't know why the other party was interested in a project that had been abandoned by the upper echelons of Xu Dao Palace, he felt a slight movement in his heart:

‘Huangji Tianjun is now outside the abyss, and he is very far away, right? ’

'If Chu Qiguang really stays with Huangji Tianjun...then it will be more free and convenient for me to do some things in the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man. ’

The Supreme Taoist Master smiled slightly and said politely: "I still want to check the specific location of Huangji Tianjun. I will take you there tomorrow."

…

The next day, Chu Qiguang and Taishang Dao Zun came to a world of birds singing, flowers fragrant, green mountains and green waters.

What Chu Qiguang saw was that there were cities all over the land, and there were floating fairy mountains in the sky, among which magic weapons and monks were constantly flashing and flying back and forth.

Seeing this scene, Chu Qiguang sighed and said, "Is this the world you created?"

Within the Taoist system of Xu Dao Palace, every being who has reached the realm of immortals and gods can master the Taoist techniques of opening up space through practice, and slowly develop a tiny alien space into a small world.

There is another name for this small world. It is called Luo Tianjie by the gods and gods.

Taishang Dao Zun nodded and said: "This world is called Supreme Heaven, and I have been running it for many years. Let's drive this world and rush to Huangji Tianjun."

At this moment, this different space called Supreme Heaven is quickly leaving the abyss under the control of Taishang Taoist Master.

Just like a bubble sliding at high speed on the foam, it is constantly changing its spatial position in the material world, getting closer and closer to Huangji Tianjun.

But Chu Qiguang and Taishang Dao Zun were walking in the world of the Supreme Heaven without being affected by the cosmic environment at all.

The two of them came to a river bank full of tourists one after another. Looking at the waves in the distance, Chu Qiguang asked casually: "There are many mortals in this world."

Taishang Daozun said: "All immortals and gods are born from mortals."

"It's like this wave right in front of me."

"I believe that the more and better mortals there are, the more and better immortal gods will be born to promote the progress of the entire universe."

As he spoke, along with the changes in Taishang Taoist's thoughts, the wave in front of him expanded and rose crazily, coming towards his face like a tsunami.

But the next moment, amid the exclamations of tourists around, several monks rose into the sky, each using Taoist magic to resist the incoming tsunami.

Chu Qiguang, who was watching this scene, said: "The monks in your world are not weak."

The Supreme Taoist Master smiled slightly: "All mortals in the Supreme Heaven must learn Taoism from the age of three. Those with high talents can join the Taoist Academy for further study. During this period, I will provide all the necessary Taoist qualifications."

Chu Qiguang sighed: "As far as I know, other Taoist ancestors' worlds don't pay so much attention to the cultivation of mortals, right?"

"After a hundred or a thousand years, you may have the largest number of immortals and gods under your sect, and the largest number of people holding important positions in heaven."

The Supreme Taoist Master said humbly: "How can I compare with the Taoist ancestors with my humble Taoist practice?"

Chu Qiguang glanced at him and thought to himself: 'I originally thought this guy was very ambitious and would try his best to exploit mortals. I didn't expect the situation here to be better than other worlds. ’

‘Or is his ambition greater than I expected? ’

Chu Qiguang has been to many different Luotian Realms these days. It can be said that in most Luotian Realms, the cultivation qualifications for mortals are getting increasingly scarce.

In some worlds, mortals have no experience in practicing Taoism in recent decades, and Taoism is even mastered by only a few rulers...

In some worlds, the formations, rituals, and magic weapons that were originally created with great efforts are gradually being abandoned...

In some worlds, mortals with Taoist skills have even lost their job opportunities...

A large number of worlds began to experience industrial decline and waves of immigration.

The worlds that were originally civilized by manufacturing magic weapons, refining elixirs, and developing Taoist arts began to become dilapidated and depressed.

All this is because most of the resources of the Xu Dao Palace have been invested in the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man, causing the Taoist industry chain that originally consumed a lot of resources to be abandoned in large tracts.

And Chu Qiguang can also understand the reason.

‘The efficiency of expanding assets through time and space leverage is too high. Under the insistence of Taixu Daozu, a large amount of resources flowed into the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man. ’

The highest pursuit of the Taoist ancestors after they rule the universe is to use the resources of the entire universe to assist in Taoism, allowing them to further control the way of heaven and continuously analyze more mysteries of the way of heaven.

When it comes to the accumulation of monastic resources, the original industrial chain composed of civilizations and worlds seems to be inferior to the expansion brought about by the lever of time and space.

‘As the plan of the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man continues to progress and resources are highly concentrated, the monastic industry begins to shrink. The middle and lower classes will receive less and less resources, and mortals will bear the brunt. ’

‘Can this phenomenon...can be called the hollowing out of the monastic industry? ’

Chu Qiguang turned around, left the embankment in front of him, and asked casually: "By the way, why do we have to drive away from Luo Tianjie? Can't we meet directly with Taoist Emperor Huangji through the void?"

Taishang Dao Zun glanced at him unexpectedly and explained: "Any time and space interference through the void is a taboo, and the same is true for communication through the void."

"These are the rules set by the seventy-two Dao Ancestors working together to operate the Dao of Heaven. Even the Dao Ancestors themselves cannot cross the void at will and interfere with time and space."

"This is engraved into the laws of heaven's operation, and I can't resist it."

"If it must be carried out, it needs to be approved by the higher authorities to obtain temporary permission... That kind of thing is too troublesome, so I thought I would just go directly to the place of Emperor Huangji."

Chu Qiguang nodded slightly and thought to himself: 'Although I already knew this taboo when I was in Xu Dao Palace, I didn't expect... that it can't even transmit information in pure space? ’

'But if this is a law carved into the law of heaven, why can I? Even... the masters of Shenyou in the Han world can do this? ’

‘Is there some kind of change in the future? ’

Chu Qiguang still had a lot of questions about space-time interference, but unfortunately the Supreme Taoist in front of him could not answer his questions.

After the two of them wandered in the Supreme Heaven for a while, the Supreme Taoist Master said, "We're here."

With a flash of light and shadow, Chu Qiguang felt that the body was being pulled and squeezed by a force, and in the blink of an eye he came into the vacuum of the universe.

What appeared in front of him was a star system that was getting closer and closer.

This is a star system with a star at the center and eight planets surrounding it, constantly spiraling forward.

Regardless of Chu Qiguang's physical body created by Dao Ancestor, or Taishang Dao Zun, the vacuum of the universe cannot harm them.

The next moment, as the Supreme Taoist thought moved, the space around the two people was continuously pulled.

Using the pull of space to move, the two continued to move forward at a high speed.

As they accelerate, the third planet in the star system is constantly getting closer to them.

It was a planet with more than 70% of its surface covered by water and full of green.

This planet also has a single satellite. There is no sea water on the surface of the satellite, and there is no atmosphere. Only dense impact craters can be seen.

Chu Qiguang was slightly startled as he saw the planets that continued to magnify in his eyes, gradually revealing the appearance of continents.

The appearance of the continents made him feel a little familiar.

‘Why does it feel similar to the continental plates of the earth? ’

'No...this seems to be really...'

Chu Qiguang's eyes kept scanning the appearance of the planet under his feet, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt.

Although the shape and position of the continental plates were different from the earth Chu Qiguang knew, he could still see the faint similarities.

‘Continental drift? ’

According to what Chu Qiguang learned while on Earth, the Earth's continental plates are moving a few centimeters every year.

If time spans tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, the position of the earth's plates will look very different.

Chu Qiguang looked at the continent in front of him and felt as if he was seeing the earth in different time periods.

"Xiao Tai..." Chu Qiguang said calmly: "Go and have a look at the nearby planet."

Moon, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn...

Under the leadership of Supreme Taoist Master, familiar and unfamiliar planets kept appearing in front of Chu Qiguang, and he became more and more certain in his heart.

'It's the solar system... it's the earth...'

‘Were Emperor Huangji’s Tianyan Beast experiments conducted on Earth? ’

‘Why Earth? How could it be the earth? ’

Returning to the sky above the earth again, Chu Qiguang's head became a little confused when he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar planet beneath his feet.

Taishang Taoist Master was observing Chu Qiguang's appearance from the side, and wondered in his heart: 'What is he observing? ’

‘Is there anything weird about this planet? ’

Next the two came to the moon.

They saw a crater, and as the earth shook, a passage leading to the interior of the moon appeared in front of them.

Chu Qiguang and Taishang Taoist Master walked along the passage, and soon a piece of antique pavilions appeared in front of them.

Several men and women wearing long robes with excited expressions on their faces were waiting for them.

One of the women, with beautiful appearance and elegant temperament, stood in front of the crowd wearing a colorful feather coat.

After seeing the Supreme Taoist Master, she was the first to come up to him and asked, "Sir, the Taoist Masters have seen our report and plan to increase their investment here?"

'How can it be? The Tianyan beast is worthless in the eyes of the Tao ancestors. What's more, most of the resources are currently invested in the plan of the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man, how can they be invested in you...'

The negative thought just flashed through Taishang Dao Zun's mind, and the next moment he smiled and said: "Well... there is a possibility."

The lie came out of Taishang Daozun's mouth: "But how it goes depends on the results of our inspection this time."

He introduced Chu Qiguang to the other party: "This is Chu Qiguang, currently the general person in charge of the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Earth. This time he comes to your place with me for inspection."

At the same time, Taishang Dao Zun also introduced the woman in front of Chu Qiguang: "This is Huangji Tianjun, who has been conducting experiments on the Tianyan Beast in Qing Jiazi Star for these years."

Qing-jiazi star is the number of Xu Dao palace to the earth.

Chu Qiguang looked at Huangji Tianjun in front of him. At this moment, he had regained his composure and temporarily buried his questions about the earth in his heart.

He said: "Hello, I'm here to find out about the situation of Tianyan Beast."

Huangji Tianjun looked at Chu Qiguang with eyes full of hostility.

She spent a lot of effort on the experiment of Tianyan Beast, and she even always hoped that Xu Dao Palace could plan Tianyan Beast as a big plan for the next thousand years.

In the heart of Emperor Huangji, the importance of the Heavenly Beast is far higher than the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man, and it is a research direction that the entire Xu Dao Palace should pay attention to.

Over the years, she has persisted in research and reported her findings and results to the Xu Dao Palace again and again, but she has never been taken seriously, and the resentment in her heart is also growing.

In the eyes of Huangji Tianjun, Tianren Jiufu is a money-scamming project.

In the eyes of Huangji Tianjun, Chu Qiguang, the person in charge of the project, was a shameless competitor who was good at bragging and deceived the leader by flattering him.

She didn't understand why the wise Taoist ancestors believed in the so-called nine blessings of heaven and man, but this did not affect her hostility towards Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang's lie also came out of his mouth: "I have discussed it with Taixu Daozu, and I am very satisfied with your recent results."

"With my insistence, Taixu Daozu agreed to include the Tianyan Beast project into the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man. Then you will be the deputy director, and you can invest in the Tianyan Beast project in any amount."

"But the specific results still depend on how complete it is here."

Huangji Tianjun said enthusiastically: "I have already heard Mr. Chu's name like thunder."

"The Tianyan beast's experiment was very successful."

"The latest generation of Tianyan beasts already have void resistance. You two come with me to take a look."

Alas, it’s still Kavin
