Chapter 219 Retreat

Chapter 219: Retreat In

just half a year, Qianyuan has developed rapidly. Huangzhou, Qianzhou, and Yanzhou have supported each other in resources and economy, and discovered the characteristics of each state, which has led to a rapid economic growth in the three states.

Moreover, the research department has produced its first achievement, a psychic car powered by true qi. Although it is just an ordinary magic weapon, any warrior above the sixth level of acquired martial arts can use his internal strength to drive the psychic car, with a maximum speed of up to 160 kilometers per hour.

However, the energy intensity of internal force is not very strong. When driving a four-seater psychic vehicle, a martial artist of the sixth level of acquired realm can only drive continuously for about an hour at a time, and then 80% of the internal force will be consumed.

To drive that kind of bus, one needs a martial artist of the eighth level or above to have enough internal strength.

This led to the emergence of a new type of professional driver in the Qianyuan Empire, and the original horse-drawn carriages were gradually replaced.

At the same time, the Queen issued a policy to establish national schools, which was implemented by the Minister of Rites Cai Xianfa.

In addition to teaching cultural knowledge, national schools also teach cultivation techniques, and they are all Tianji techniques, so that everyone in the country can hope to become a congenital cultivator.

However, most people have average talents, and the Tianji technique only allows them to reach the tenth level of the acquired realm in their lifetime, which is already good enough. This way, they can adapt to some new professions in the future, such as driver.

The psychic vehicle is a civilian equipment, and the research department has also developed a military psychic spaceship for use as a long-distance transportation tool. However, this requires a congenital cultivator to control it, as internal strength is not enough to support the energy of the psychic spaceship.

Moreover, large psychic spacecraft require the cooperation of multiple innate monks, which is actually very environmentally friendly and avoids the destructive path of collecting energy.

Back then, the Protoss had to run out of energy, which led to an energy war, which eventually caused the planet to collapse and they were forced to leave.

Now, warriors and monks can be used as energy, which can be recycled infinitely and allow them to learn the subtle control of strength.

The idea of ​​bringing cultivation into daily life was proposed by Zhou An, and was agreed upon by the entire scientific research department.

There is also a military weapon, the psychic gun, which looks like a spear and can be used as a close combat weapon. After being injected with internal force, it can fire psychic light bullets, which have strong destructive power and a range of 3,000 meters, similar to the power of a rocket launcher on Earth.

The emergence of this weapon greatly improved the strength of Qianyuan’s army. In addition, with the emergence of new alloys, weapons mass-produced by machines were much stronger than before, which improved Qianyuan’s metal smelting technology by five thousand years.

These technologies all come from the gods. Due to time and equipment limitations, they are not enough to build an armored research and development factory. However, as long as all the infrastructure is produced in another three to five years, Qianyuan can truly enter a new era.

Moreover, Curtis is working with Xiuxin Pavilion, combining the methods of refining equipment and formations, and is also developing armor suitable for this world, an armor that uses monks as energy.

Taking into account that the true Qi of the monks is limited, a war will last a long time. It is impossible to fight for a long time relying solely on the true Qi of the monks, so a rechargeable energy system is being designed.

Depending on the source of the monk's power, there will be different levels of armor. For example, internal force is the lowest level of energy with limited power and can only be used as a power source for armor.

Such armor does not need to be designed with powerful weapons and functions. It is mainly for defense, and at most has a communication energy infrastructure.

When the Qi energy reaches a higher level, the armor will naturally become more powerful. It is appropriate to equip it with some weapon systems, but the strength will not be too high.

After that is the true essence, and the immortal essence of the immortals. These energy levels are even stronger. It can even be said that the energy of the immortal essence is no worse than the super-nuclear energy.

However, these are still in theory. Curtis and his fellow tribesmen are working hard on research and development, and several formation masters from Xiuxin Pavilion are also fully cooperating.

Qianyuan's technology and economy improved rapidly, and the strength of the empress and concubines in the palace also improved by leaps and bounds. Hua Wu Yue had thousands of years of practice in her previous life, and her improvement was the fastest. According to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman's talisman, she condensed the golden elixir and the primordial spirit golden elixir and stepped into the earthly fairyland.

Shangguan Rong and Sanzi Niangniang overcame six levels of heavenly tribulation and reached the seventh level of innateness.

Sai Naimu and You Yunzhi reached the fifth level of the innate realm. Zhou Lingsha's cultivation speed slowed down, and because she had no method of dual cultivation, she was overtaken by Sai Naimu and You Yunzhi.

The method of dual cultivation is his trump card. If it was Zhou Lingsha, he would naturally teach her. However, Zhou Lingsha’s lover is an outsider to him. Unless he truly gains Zhou An’s trust, he will not teach them the skills.

After Zhou Ling awakened the memory of the Kongling Fairy, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. In half a year, with the help of the elixirs from the Baihua Palace, he recovered to the ninth level of the innate realm.

Mi Luo, Bai Lao, Yun Yu, Jiu Xuan and Long Xuan also condensed their golden elixirs one after another and reached the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

The true essence of the five of them had already reached its limit, and the only thing missing was their soul. With the help of the mysterious light of merit, achieving the Earthly Immortal Realm was just a matter of course.

The concubines' strengths have all improved, and Zhou An practices with them, gaining even more nourishment from their vital yin.

He had not left the palace for more than a year. Seeing that everyone had reached the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm one after another, he was somewhat looking forward to reaching the Earthly Immortal Realm himself.

After practicing dual cultivation with the eight tribes that day, he finally felt that his physical body and soul had reached their limits, and his true essence cultivation reached a terrifying 15,000 years.

Generally speaking, for a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of innateness, the true essence lasts between one thousand and five thousand years at most, which depends on the innate bloodline and physical strength.

It is no wonder that Zhou An’s improvement is slower than others. It is because his body is too strong that it can accommodate such a huge amount of true essence and soul.

He was full of anticipation and couldn't wait to go to Qianyang Palace, so he went to Mingyu Palace to condense the golden elixir using the techniques in the Sutra of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.

The eight tribes were all curious about what kind of power Zhou An had when he reached the Earthly Immortal Realm, so they all stood by to protect him and activated the protective formation of the dual cultivation secret room.

With such a huge level of cultivation, the time required to condense the golden elixir is much longer than that of others.

When the fifteen thousand years of true energy cultivation was condensed into a purple-gold inner elixir, the purple-gold immortal energy burst out, and the energy became more refined, flowing through the meridians of the whole body, and finally returned to the golden elixir.

Once the golden elixir is completed, he has now entered the semi-immortal realm. The cultivation of immortal energy has become three thousand years, which is directly compressed five times. However, the power of immortal energy is one level stronger than true energy. That is a qualitative difference.

When the immortal energy is revealed, it will bring a sense of pressure from an immortal. The greater the immortal energy, the stronger the pressure.

This pressure made the eight tribes secretly frightened. They had all cultivated their bodies under Bai Yijun's guidance. In addition, their half-human bloodlines were superior, and the content of their true essence was several times higher than that of most cultivators.

However, after condensing the golden elixir, the pressure released was far less powerful than Zhou An's, which made the eight people who reached the Earthly Immortal Realm feel uneasy.

This made the eight of them curious and admiring, and they were all more or less happy. Now that they were Zhou An's concubines, and their men were powerful, they were naturally happy.

The eight women have high standards, and their men must be stronger than themselves.

The next step was to condense the golden elixir of the primordial spirit, and practice the method of concentrating the mind as written on the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's Talisman. The ancient soul-gathering bead, the most precious treasure of the underworld, which had never moved before, unexpectedly began to change at this time.

The ancient soul-gathering bead suddenly merged with his primordial spirit, and his consciousness was forcibly brought into the ancient soul-gathering bead. He saw the scene of the evolution of heaven and earth, which made him intoxicated. He forgot about time and forgot to condense the elixir of his primordial spirit.

This is not the evolution of the great way of heaven and earth, but the evolution of the soul from nothing to something. During the chaotic period of heaven and earth, there were not many living beings in the world.

After the creation of the world, all living things evolved from nothing to something in the mother's womb.

Those who are qualified to reincarnate are all innate cultivators, but innate cultivators are a very small minority in the world after all, so when mortals are born, their souls change from nothing to something.

This is very similar to the growth of the elves, but the form of existence is different. Instead, the soul is a small ball of mist, like a miniature nebula.

The evolution of the elves takes longer, requiring thousands or even tens of thousands of years, before they finally condense into a human form and are considered to be born as a human.

After the evolving images in front of him ended, Zhou An closed his eyes and recalled the scene he had just seen in his mind. Unconsciously, his soul also condensed.
