Chapter 170 Life Levels
After arranging the affairs of the royal city, Zhang Yang left.
He first circled his nest several times with diameters of 300 miles, 500 miles, and 800 miles, before he was completely relieved.
This area is full of mountains, cliffs, and dense jungles. It is really quiet and remote. You won't encounter the gathering place of Mirage Clan Demons until you have a diameter of 800 miles. And most of them are the kind of scattered, uncontrolled low-level Mirage Clan Demons.
After all, they have extremely strong reproductive capacity, and the demons that control them do not have the ability to excel in everything, so as to incorporate these low-level demons into the war system.
At this point, Zhang Yang found another mountain forest, about a thousand miles away from his old nest, and began a ten-month life of silence and meditation.
The so-called pure cultivation is, of course, spiritual practice.
Now he has started the forced job transfer task, which is as important as dominating the world. If he cannot complete the job transfer, he will still die.
——
The morning breeze is blowing gently, the mist is floating, and the morning sun is shining.
The whole world woke up at this moment.
On top of a cliff, Zhang Yang sat cross-legged, facing the red sun in the east, with clouds rising below him. His mind was focused, and spiritual energy flowed back and forth throughout his body, endlessly.
This was exactly the scene when he was practicing the mysterious art of stealing the energy from the sky.
After a long time, when the sun was at its highest point in the sky, Zhang Yang slowly withdrew his spiritual energy. The white spiritual energy around him was swallowed up by him like a little snake.
This breath of spiritual energy was the result of his cultivation day and night over the past month, taking ten first-grade foundation-building pills every day.
It is precisely because of this spiritual energy that he can control freely that Zhang Yang is qualified to call himself an immortal cultivator.
Well, a cultivator in the Qi training stage.
It's quite strange to say that he, a transcendent with A+ in all four attributes, is only in the Qi training stage. Anyway, it was difficult for Zhang Yang, who was used to reading novels, to accept it at first.
Fortunately, he quickly came to terms with it, because it was just a name. So far, no one had ever seen a cultivator in the Qi training stage. Zhang Yang had only seen cultivators in the foundation building stage and the golden elixir stage. Perhaps, this was almost the truth.
After a month, Zhang Yang had made some progress in his practice and had a more vivid and specific understanding of this so-called Qi training period.
Practicing Qi and building the foundation, these are just the realm of cultivation, not the realm of combat.
If he used this spiritual energy that he had cultivated for a month to attack, the effect would probably not be even one-tenth of Zhang Yang's soul force field.
However, this spiritual energy can continuously nourish his limbs, meridians, blood, essence, internal organs, and even his soul, which can prolong his life.
This is a combat skill that cannot be achieved by combat strength alone.
So from this point of view, Zhang Yang believes that his past cognition has been poisoned by those novels.
How can a person in the Qi training stage kill a person in the foundation building stage, and a person in the foundation building stage can kill a person in the Golden Core stage.
Because it's not the same thing at all.
He didn't know about the higher realms, but he was sure now that practicing Qi and building the foundation focused on the evolution and purification of the essence of a person's life, a breakthrough in the level of life, rather than referring to the individual's combat effectiveness.
Immortal cultivators cultivate immortality. If it is for combat effectiveness, why not call them warrior cultivators? Wouldn't the God of War Shura be more appropriate? "Perhaps this is more in line with the nature of civilization hegemony. Civilization hegemony is not only about survival ability, combat ability, and fighting ability, but also about the competitiveness of civilization, the competitiveness of technology, and the competition of life level! So what if you Zerg are overwhelming? As long as my life level is high enough, you are just a speck of dust in my eyes."
Zhang Yang pondered it carefully and felt that his horizons had been broadened.
The governments of various countries on Earth are desperately trying to obtain the order to build a fairy village, probably because of this consideration.
However, it is not easy to improve the level of life.
"So this is why the foundation-building mission requires 10,000 first-grade foundation-building pills, because the spiritual energy of this world is actually very thin. Without this aid, it would take me about a year to cultivate such a pure life spiritual energy, and this has little to do with the practice method."
"When I was in Zhao Xianyu's world, even without the Heaven Stealing Qi Creation Mysterious Art, I could still obtain mana 'dry food' through the nurturing of the soul force field, because the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in that world was so abundant that it drove people crazy. But when I returned to the village, it was suddenly different. Not to mention storing 'dry food', I couldn't even store 'garbage'. Apart from being able to purify it from the essence and blood of the monsters, the source of mana was almost zero."
"Now, the world has not changed, only time has passed for more than 2,200 years, but I was able to absorb a ray of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. I don't know what happened. Is this considered a revival of spiritual energy?"
Zhang Yang pondered, and the image of the sneaking Jindan-stage demon cultivator emerged in his mind. Could the golden lightning and green wind that appeared when it sneaked across the river be related to the revival of spiritual energy? If this hypothesis is true, then the truth can almost be obtained.
That is - the revival of spiritual energy is equivalent to alien invasion.
"Ten first-grade foundation-building pills a day, three hundred a month, to get a mouthful of life-defining spiritual energy. I currently have 8701 pills left. Well, it's barely enough for two years and five months to get 30 mouthfuls of life-defining spiritual energy. But according to the minimum requirement for foundation-building, which is also my own feeling, I will never succeed in building a foundation without ninety-nine mouthfuls of life-defining spiritual energy."
"And this is the most difficult part of this mandatory job transfer mission. In order to gather enough life force spiritual energy, I need a lot of resources, or even invade other worlds. Fortunately, I have two ways out. One is Zhao Xianyu, and the other is the blood and bones of the Jindan-stage demon cultivator I killed."
"However, if the timeline of Zhao Xianyu's world is linked to this world, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back if I go there again. Zhao Xianyu might kill me for meat, or he might have been killed by other invaders. So I'm not sure, so I'd better not consider this retreat for the time being."
"As for the blood, essence, and bones of the Jindan-stage demon cultivator, I will leave them for me to replenish after I finish eating the foundation-building pill."
——
Autumn goes and winter comes, and then spring returns to the earth and all things revive.
After ten full months, Zhang Yang finally ended his silent meditation and prepared to return to his old nest.
In these ten months, he only cultivated ten breaths of his own spiritual energy. It was not that he did not want to work hard, but that the path of cultivation was too difficult. He spent 20 hours sitting in meditation and practicing the mysterious art of creation to polish the spiritual energy and make it perfectly integrated with himself. The rest of the time was for rest and eating. He was really oblivious to the world and himself, and his heart was pure and desireless. Not to mention how hard it was, he almost forgot about the battle for hegemony! In fact, deep in his heart, he had a thought, what was the point of fighting for hegemony? How could it compare to this kind of longevity?
"Ahem, I'm a little bit possessed. Come, let's do some soul vibration!"
"Bang!"
So Zhang Yang, who was an immortal in the last moment, turned into a country man in the next second. He had not cared about his appearance for ten whole months. His hair was as messy as a bird's nest and his face was covered with dirt. After all, he didn't even have time to take a shower.
And it would be such a luxury to use the innate spiritual energy that one has cultivated with great effort to ward off dust and cleanse things.
After recognizing the direction, Zhang Yang strode forward and headed straight for the old nest. However, after walking more than 300 miles for half a day, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he was being spied on. At the same time, a ray of blood flashed in the village construction order, and the level 1 war medal buzzed as a warning.
"Warning, an enemy troop that has activated a war state has been detected. The enemy's target has been roughly locked, with an error of within fifty kilometers."
On the big map, about three thousand miles away, a striking red dot is shocking.
Zhang Yang was taken aback. He did not expect to encounter an enemy who had activated a state of war at this time, because this meant that the enemy was most likely above the extraordinary level. Of course, it was also possible that the enemy was just like him and had just activated the forced job transfer task.
After a few seconds, the red dot on the map disappears. It is not difficult to do this. You just need to get away from the straight-line distance of three thousand miles.
Zhang Yang stood still, thinking about countermeasures.
This matter is very tricky. Even if he escapes immediately, the enemy is very likely to explore the surrounding areas through the marked points. After exploring in circles, they will always find the royal city he built seven hundred miles away, which may bring unpredictable consequences.
For the next half hour, Zhang Yang stood there motionless. He had a hunch that since the other party was able to jump out of the detection circle in the first time, there would definitely be follow-up actions.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the sudden feeling of being spied on came again. A red dot appeared on the big map, and it was actually shifted to the north by almost 500 miles from its original position.
If you connect this point with the original point with an arc, you will find that the other party is running circles, subtle and skillful running circles. If Zhang Yang had also been moving quickly in the past hour, there would be a high probability that he would be caught by the other party again.
But why was the other side so sure that I would retreat to the north, rather than to the west, south, or east?
Zhang Yang looked at the map again. To the south was the gathering place of the Mirage Clan demons. To the east, across the mountains, there was still a gathering place for demons. Only to the north were there endless mountains.
As for heading west, the other party came from the west, so they were sure that I would retreat to the north. What does this mean? "First of all, the other party should have ruled out that I was a demon at the first time, which means that the other party knows the demons very well, or it is a member of the demons."
"Secondly, the opponent is very confident and has a lot of experience in fighting alone. He likes to charge in alone. Of course, it may also be because he doesn't have a legion around him. Otherwise, since he knows that I am not a demon, he can just send a large army to attack me. As long as he bites me, he won't worry about me escaping."
"Third, I suspect it's not a demon! But that red-skinned monster, because the demons are now densely arranged from south to north. Maybe an ordinary latent dragon can sneak in, but any non-demon latent dragon above the extraordinary and in a state of war will never be able to sneak in."
"Fourthly, the demons are currently fighting on the front lines, and there shouldn't be any demon dragons above the extraordinary level who would have nothing better to do than wander around in the rear areas. So I think it must be the red-skinned monster."
"So, I'll stay here. I bet it wants to stir up trouble, too, instead of engaging in a life-and-death fight with a competitor who might also be above the extraordinary as soon as they meet, which would end up benefiting the demons who are still kept in the dark. At least in today's world where the demons are in an advantageous position, it and I should be able to reach a tacit understanding that transcends time and space."
In just a dozen seconds, Zhang Yang had sorted out his thoughts and stood there quietly. Then the red dot on the big map stopped moving.
The two sides confronted each other for a full ten minutes, and then the red dot disappeared again.
Zhang Yang waited there until dawn the next day, but the other party never showed up again.
What a tacit understanding!
