Just as nuclear weapons are only a byproduct of scientific exploration, immortality is merely a small gift along the path of seeking the Dao. The New Dao Master, Grand Wise Teacher, and the stronge...
Chapter 541 Electricity Revolution, Base Slaps Face
Zheng Fa brought a group of senior leaders of Jiushan Sect to the mortal world of Jiushan Realm, stood on the clouds, and looked at the continuous mountains below their feet.
This place is called Qianhua Mountain, the largest mountain range in the Nine Mountains Realm. Birds can hardly cross it, and thousands of wild animals hide there.
Zheng Fa had previously said that he wanted to combine the Lingshan method and the magical power of the world in his sleeves to transform the earth's veins.
This matter is complicated to explain, so he might as well demonstrate it here.
"According to the 'Spiritual Vein Theory' written by Master, those nine mountains are a spiritual vein called the Nine Dragon Vein."
Zheng Fa pointed to a few hills on the lower left and said.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger. There were nine mountain peaks over there, like nine dragon heads clustered together. The most special thing was that there was a waterfall cascading down from each mountain peak.
The nine waterfalls are like nine jade belts, hitting the huge rocks at the foot of the mountain, and the rumbling sound of water brings a cool breeze to your face.
"Spiritual vein?" The Nine Mountain Patriarch frowned, "But there isn't much spiritual energy here, right?"
"Because this spiritual vein is incomplete." Zheng Fa pointed to the foot of the mountain and explained, "To form a spiritual vein, it requires the magical power of heaven and earth. If a river or a mountain is not in the right position, it will be difficult to generate spiritual energy."
The old man nodded slightly, as if in agreement.
The Nine Mountains Patriarch looked carefully and found that, sure enough, there was a crack at the foot of the mountain. The crack was several feet wide and seven or eight miles long. It was dark and bottomless inside, as if it led directly to the underworld.
They could see clearly without Zheng Fa's explanation that the crack had cut off the flow of the earth veins and hindered the generation of spiritual energy.
When everyone looked at the crack again, they felt it was both a pity and an eyesore.
Zheng Fa smiled gently, stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers, and pressed down.
His sleeves moved without wind, covering the sky and the sun, like a huge tent, enveloping the peaks.
Buzz...buzz...
A dull roar came from the foot of the mountain. Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from. The two sides of the crack were like two big magnets, attracting each other, slowly approaching, and finally sticking tightly together until there was no gap left.
The grass and trees in the mountains fell, and the birds and animals scattered, as if they were terrified by this earth-shaking change.
As the cracks closed, the spiritual energy here underwent some visible changes -
Mist rises among the mountains and forests, colorful clouds hang high above the peaks, birds sing, and animals sleep peacefully.
"Spiritual energy!" Uncle Pang exclaimed softly.
Even though he had already reached the level of a god, facing such an earth-shattering method, a trace of awe emerged on his face. Everyone looked at Zheng Fa with astonishment.
Even though the Nine Mountains Realm is not short of spiritual energy now, this is because the Nine Mountains Sect occupies a monopoly of a cave world.
Moreover, the Nine Mountains Realm has the Emperor of Heaven to guide the starlight, and the Pure Bamboo can produce spiritual energy, so the family fortune is really too rich.
In the outside world, a spiritual vein with abundant spiritual energy can be said to be the lifeblood of a sect.
What's more, in the context of declining spiritual energy, the value of this method of creating spiritual veins can be imagined.
Uncle Pang said excitedly, "If that's the case, then we can create endless spiritual veins simply by changing the direction of the earth veins?"
These words made everyone look expectant. There were spiritual veins everywhere. Such a rich battle was something that not only the cultivators from Jiushan Sect but even cultivators like Xie Qingxue who were from Tianhe Sect had never fought before!
Zheng Fa was also shocked. He had never had such a dream before.
"Uncle Master, you think too highly of me."
“…Isn’t it possible?”
Uncle Pang's tone was full of disappointment.
"Uncle Master, the shape of the mountains and rivers is only the surface of the spiritual veins. The most important thing is actually the direction of the underground magnetic field." Zheng Fa explained in detail, "Just now, I used the method of Qiankun in my sleeves to adjust the underground magnetic field."
The elder suddenly frowned: "This statement seems a bit like... human nerves?"
Everyone was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.
Nowadays, everyone is familiar with human nerves, and even attaches great importance to them - on the one hand, this is the foundation of Yangshen Method, and on the other hand, Gu Chang’s previous research on spiritual roots also focused on human nerves.
To put it simply, human nerves are the regular movement of electrons in the human body.
Xiao Yuying said in surprise, "So, the formation of spiritual veins is actually due to the flow of underground magnetic field?"
"At least the force of magnetism plays an important role."
Everyone turned their eyes to the ground below, and within a few words, the spiritual energy in the mountain became more and more dense, even comparable to the spiritual veins of the Nine Mountains Sect in the past.
This scene made Zheng Fa's explanation more convincing.
"In other words, this method cannot create spiritual veins, but can only repair or improve some incomplete spiritual veins?"
"After all, human power is limited." Zheng Fa said, and swept his palm from left to right in front of him. The map of the Hundred Immortals Alliance appeared again. He pointed at the map and said, "According to Uncle Pang's research, there are about 19 places in the former site of the Hundred Immortals Alliance that can be adjusted to become spiritual veins."
"Nineteen spiritual veins... this is not bad!"
Uncle Pang's tone was full of joy.
"Isn't it more than that?" Senior Sister Zhang's expression suddenly looked a little strange.
"What?"
"Haori Mountain."
"Haori Mountain?"
"The spiritual vein that was destroyed."
Everyone blinked their eyes, and suddenly realized what was going on. Uncle Pang clapped his hands and said, "That's right! That place is the spiritual vein!"
Before refining the Xianjian Sword, Hao Rishan wanted to blow up the spiritual vein of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, but the Nine Mountain Patriarch took advantage of the situation and blew himself up instead.
Today, the land bordering Haori Mountain and Baixian League has become barren of spiritual energy, with even fewer cultivators. It can even be said that it has been abandoned by Haori Mountain.
For Hao Rishan, that place has been abandoned, and holding it in his hands may still be a burden.
But with the magical power of Qiankun in their sleeves, Jiushan Sect was able to reconnect the spiritual veins and turn waste into treasure.
What's more, that area is extremely large, twice as large as the current Hundred Immortals Alliance.
"But how do we take control of that place?" the old man asked. "Even if we take it, what if Haori Mountain refuses to accept our restoration of the spiritual vein?"
The smile on Uncle Pang’s face froze.
This is indeed a big problem.
No one present would overestimate Hao Rishan's integrity.
For a moment, everyone looked a little sad.
"This is the second purpose of combing the earth veins."
But Zheng Fa started laughing.
"Do you have a solution?"
“I can only say that I have an idea.”
Zheng Fa waved his hand, and his sleeves covered another mountaintop. After two incense sticks, he put away his magical powers.
However, the rocks on the top of the mountain have a faint blue-black color.
"Such a strong magnetic force!"
Xiao Yuying was a meta-magnetic body and was extremely sensitive to it. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this moment.
In fact, without her saying this, everyone could feel that this hill, which was just ordinary, has now turned into a huge magnet, emitting tremendous magnetic force.
"You want to..."
Uncle Pang was a little confused, and the others didn't understand what Zheng Fa wanted to do.
"I want to adjust the underground magnetic field of the Hundred Immortals Alliance and build a magnetic field network."
Zheng Fa's eyes lit up, and he was even happier when he said this than when he had advanced in cultivation - in his opinion, he had finally found a way to revolutionize electricity with Jiushan's characteristics, no, Xuanwei's characteristics.
Although an industrial system has been established in the Nine Mountains Realm using external elixirs, to be honest, the cost of external elixirs is not particularly low, and it is a bit of a waste to promote them in the mortal world.
But borrowing the underground magnetism is different:
According to his research, the underground magnetic field may be many times stronger than that of modern planets due to spiritual energy.
It's only because the primordial magnetic field is chaotic and cancels each other out that its power is not revealed.
If it can be utilized, Jiushan Sect will truly start an electricity revolution and achieve a leap forward!
"The power hidden underground is far more than 10,000, no, 100 million external pills."
After hearing what Zheng Fa said, everyone looked at each other, seemingly unconvinced, or perhaps not fully understanding what he was going to do.
"You mean... to use the power of the Yuan magnetic field to help the Shenxiao Flying Boat operate?"
Xiao Yuying was silent for a moment, as if she had finally caught up with Zheng Fa's rhythm.
After all, she has done a lot of research on magnetism, and she probably had similar ideas a long time ago.
"This is one of them!" Zheng Fa said with a smile, "The strength of the underground magnetic force is extremely strong. It can be used to drive the Shenxiao Flying Boat. The speed may be faster than before!"
Simply put, by transforming the underground magnetic field, he can build a magnetic levitation track - further reducing the operating cost of the Shenxiao flying boat, increasing the speed of the flying boat, and establishing the most suitable public transportation for the Baixian League in the mortal world.
Uncle Pang's eyes lit up: "Can this be used in the sea area?"
Zheng Fa nodded slightly, and everyone was excited.
Everyone understands that this means the speed of maritime trade routes has increased again.
Everyone knows the value of the sea trade route to the Jiushan Sect. One more trip a month can bring in a lot of extra wealth.
"But it's far more than that." Zheng Fa seemed to think it was not enough and continued.
"That's not all?"
"The power of the primordial magnetism can drive the Shenxiao Flying Boat, and naturally it can also be used to operate the factory."
The so-called electricity revolution is naturally a huge change in all walks of life and the entire system.
Although transforming transportation is important, in Zheng Fa's mind, it is just the beginning.
In his mind, this metamagnetic network can be said to be the most important industrial infrastructure.
“Can it be so subtle?”
“Of course it won’t happen overnight, but it’s very feasible.”
"You mean, we will move some factories to the Baixian League in the future?"
Senior Sister Zhang saw Zheng Fa's hidden intention and asked.
"Yes, especially some factories that don't need cultivators." Zheng Fa nodded gently, "The Nine Mountains Realm will be more pure and used to cultivate talents, study Taoism, and establish major industries."
Senior Sister Zhang and the others had a look of realization on their faces.
They probably understood Zheng Fa's idea. This was a kind of industrial transfer and also a strategic change for Jiushan Sect.
Simply put, Jiushanjie will not seek to control all industries, but will focus on key areas and industrial upgrades.
The Baixian League will take over some basic industries.
"This will reduce the production pressure within the Nine Mountains Realm. On the other hand, it will also make the Nine Mountains Realm and the Hundred Immortals League more prosperous."
Uncle Pang opened his mouth and said, "...I don't know why you care about them so much."
Zheng Fa smiled lightly and didn't explain.
To put it bluntly, if the changes are limited to the Jiushan Sect, then what is the difference between his Jiushan Sect and other sects in Xuanwei?
"But in this case, how can we ensure the safety of the Hundred Immortals Alliance?" Xie Qingxue was not convinced. Instead, she said with a look of disapproval, "With such a huge investment, if we are attacked, how can we defend ourselves?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted and looked at each other.
Such a mysterious situation is not peaceful, and is becoming increasingly unstable.
The better the Hundred Immortals Alliance is built, the more places the Nine Mountains Sect will have to defend. In other words, the more weak points it will have.
The reason why the major immortal sects don’t care about the mundane world is probably because of this—they just can’t take care of it.
“This is my third idea for the metamagnetic network, for military use.”
"military?"
Zheng Fa stretched out his palm and gently stroked the map in front of him. On the mountains, rivers and streams of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, not only did spider-web-like curves appear, but also some densely packed light spots.
"This is……"
"I plan to build a number of magnetic nodes for the Nine Mountains disciples to strengthen their thunder magic."
"Strengthen the thunder method?"
Xie Qingxue murmured, staring at those nodes.
"Yes, use the power of the primordial magnetic field to operate various thunder techniques." Zheng Fa lightly tapped one of the light spots, and the light spot enlarged, revealing a dazzling array of symbols.
"Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Talisman, Twenty-Four Solar Terms Thunder Talisman..." Xiao Yuying was sharp-eyed and recognized some of the talismans at once. She seemed to have some understanding, "Do you want the Nine Mountains disciples to use the underground magnetism to perform thunder magic?"
"That's it, and much more."
Zheng Fa looked at the symbol on the map with some excitement in his eyes: "This is the inspiration I found from the Sea-Suppressing Seal."
Xiao Yuying was puzzled again: "Zhenhai Seal?"
"I think that in the future, our disciples sent to the Hundred Immortals Alliance will be granted magic weapons to control these nodes. They will be used to govern the Hundred Immortals Alliance."
"It does look like a mortal seal."
"Using these magic weapons, the disciples of Jiushan Sect will be able to mobilize the surrounding magnetic force."
Zheng Fa nodded slightly and said what he had in mind:
"He can use the twenty-four solar terms of thunder to help with farming."
"It can also use the power of Yuan magnetic field to protect the people."
"More importantly, these nodes can also be regarded as aura detectors with a very wide range."
Xiao Yuying understood: "To detect external enemies?"
"Exactly."
To put it bluntly, radar.
After Zheng Fa finished speaking, everyone fell silent, as if they were digesting these wild ideas.
Zheng Fa’s idea is very clear - with the help of the Yuanci network, the ability of the dispatched Nine Mountains disciples to govern the land under their jurisdiction will have an unprecedented leap.
After a long while, Uncle Pang finally spoke up: "You...are you using this vast land as a magic weapon?"
"That's true."
"No, this is more like a large formation. Transportation, production, governance, defense, this formation has too many uses." The old man sighed, "This is not much worse than the Zhuxian Sword Formation. If this idea can really be realized, what will my Jiushan Sect look like..."
He hadn't finished speaking, but Uncle Pang and the others had expressions of reverie on their faces.
Xie Qingxue shook her head: "What does it look like? I'm afraid it's a sacred place that has never appeared in Xuanwei before, and it's as solid as a rock..."
The old man said with confidence: "In this way, as long as we occupy the territory of Haori Mountain, we can control it firmly in our hands by transforming the ground veins. It will be difficult for Haori Mountain to take it back."
"Take it back? Even if he doesn't come, I will go too."
"Where are you going?"
"I want to build this formation to the gate of Haori Mountain."
After hearing this, the old man slowly opened his mouth and looked at Zheng Fa: "Repair...repair to the gate of Haori Mountain?"
"hold head high."
Everyone was speechless, and just silently felt sorry for Hao Rishan.
This move is also recorded in the Thirty-Six Stratagems, and is called - Big Base Calling Face.
