Chapter 281 Microscopic World, Nine Mountains Paradise

"I can't tell what this means."

Looking at the black thunder stone under the microscopic magic circle, Uncle Pang frowned.

This is not surprising.

The microscopic magic array was not more sophisticated than the "Dongxu Spiritual Eye", so the three of them were unable to discover anything new just by relying on the microscopic magic array.

Zheng Fa didn't say anything, but his eyes flashed with silver light - he already knew the limitations of the microscopic magic array, and this attempt was just to see if the microscopic magic array could be used in conjunction with the "Dongxu Spiritual Eye".

The previous black thunder stone changed again, showing another scene.

He seemed to see a small universe, dotted with stars and purple and chaotic clouds.

it works!

Zheng Fa was delighted, knowing that the "Dongxu Spiritual Eye" and the microscopic magic array did complement each other.

In fact, he was not sure before, because the limit of optical microscope does not come from matter, but from the characteristics of light - to put it simply, when light encounters extremely small matter, diffraction will occur.

In other words, if the principle of the Dongxu Spirit Eye is the same as that of an optical microscope, it cannot break through this limitation.

Now it seems that "Dongxu Lingyan" is not the case.

Looking at the nebulae in the "void", Zheng Fa couldn't help but smile.

"Um?"

Seeing him like this, Senior Sister Zhang and Uncle Pang looked at each other, and also used their Dongxu Spirit Eyes to look at the Xuan Lei Stone in front of them.

"this……"

Uncle Pang's face looked a little dull.

"Master, have you never seen such a scene?"

Zheng Fa asked curiously.

There are countless powerful people in the Xuanwei Realm, and Zheng Fa highly doubts that this microscopic world is no secret to them.

Uncle Pang shook his head and sighed, "My cultivation is limited, and I have never seen this before... What on earth is this?"

Zheng Fa also shook his head.

If it were in modern times, he might have guessed it was molecules or something, but it was different in the Xuan Lei Stone - the foggy area in the cloud was actually filled with rich spiritual energy!

Zheng Fa's heart moved and he waved to the outside.

There was a pile of stones outside the house, which were used by the disciples to repair the house during this period.

A piece of white stone flew into Zheng Fa's hand. He placed it under the microscopic magic array and compared it with the microscopic scene in the black thunder stone. The conclusion was very clear -

"The difference between spiritual materials and non-spiritual materials is whether this 'cloud' carries spiritual energy? And is this spiritual energy fixed?"

Uncle Pang frowned.

Zheng Fa nodded, his face showing both realization and confusion.

It was normal for spiritual materials to contain spiritual energy, but this observation made Zheng Fa understand one thing - there seemed to be a so-called spiritual energy molecule? Or spiritual energy atom?

Uncle Pang used a word very well - fixed.

The reason why aura is called qi is that it is changeable.

However, the spiritual energy in this cloud was very stable and did not show any sign of flowing. What made Zheng Fa curious was what made the spiritual energy gather in this cloud and no longer escape.

It’s just that the effects of the microscopic magic array and the “Dongxu Spirit Eye” cannot be superimposed 100%.

He wanted to see the details of the "cloud" clearly, but he was unable to do so.

Zheng Fa tried to study the previously captured bronze coffin and the Blood River Ancestor's natal flying sword - both of them also had similar spiritual cloud structures.

It's just that the arrangement is more regular and denser.

"The sizes of these three types of clouds and the amount of spiritual energy they contain are also very different." Zheng Fa concluded, "But I see that there are some similarities between the bronze coffin and the flying sword."

Uncle Pang and the other man both nodded.

"The cloud in the bronze coffin has less spiritual energy, while the flying sword has a little more." Senior Sister Zhang said, "But they both seem to come from the same source."

"Both of them are from the Great Freedom Demon Sect, so it's not surprising that they are similar..." Uncle Pang frowned and said, "It's a pity that we can't see the details."

"Now there is a problem..."

Zheng Fa thought for a while and suddenly said.

Uncle Pang twitched his lips, but then pricked up his ears and listened.

"Are the types of these spiritual clouds endless..."

“What difference does it make?”

Uncle Pang was a little puzzled.

Zheng Fa shook his head.

Of course, Uncle Pang and the others could not understand this difference, but Zheng Fa had an idea that he was not sure about -

If the types of this kind of cloud are limited, then he thinks this thing is more inclined to the atomic level, because the atoms in the material world are limited.

If it is infinite... then it will naturally tend towards molecules.

"That's easy." Senior Sister Zhang said, "There are a lot of spiritual materials in the Nine Mountains Realm. If we study them more, we will know whether they are infinite."

Zheng Fa nodded.

Uncle Pang laughed at this time and said excitedly: "Leave it to me!"

"Um?"

Uncle Pang looked at the microscopic magic array in front of him, and his tone was quite cheerful: "This microscopic magic array can also be regarded as a secret method of my "Dongxu Spirit Eye"..."

“And it’s so simple.”

"Once I have thoroughly studied it, my 'Dongxu Spirit Eye' may be able to reach a higher level."

"Then I'll leave this matter to my uncle."

Zheng Fa was also somewhat happy in his heart, as Uncle Pang was the microscope in his mind, and it would be even better if he could evolve on his own.

Uncle Pang was still muttering excitedly: "I want to see not only the spiritual materials, but also the magic weapons..."

"I want to see the spiritual plants in the medicine garden too!"

"Just keep busy with your own business. Your master is urging you to hold the sect leader ceremony every day... and you keep putting it off."

"I'm just waiting for Yan Wushuang and the others. They'll be here soon."

The master has wanted to pass on the throne to him for some time, but the ceremony of becoming the head of the sect is not so simple.

Although the Jiushan Sect is now in a remote area, this matter still needs to invite some outsiders to observe the ceremony - mainly to inform outsiders, and also to let everyone notarize, and tell everyone that the leader of the Jiushan Sect will be named Zheng.

Don't pick the wrong person.

There is no need to worry about Zheng Fa, the guest invited by the master.

But Zheng Fa also invited a few people himself, just a few people.

One is Yan Wushuang, and he wants to do some business with the other party in the future.

One is Xiao Yuying. She is willing to lend a helping hand to Jiushan Sect, so it is appropriate to invite her.

As for the rest, Zheng Fa did send another letter to the Seventh Young Master, but the Seventh Young Master had not replied before, so he didn't know whether he could receive it this time.

Apart from these three, there were no others.

It's not that Zheng Fa was aloof. Firstly, he was not good at dealing with people. Secondly, the leader's ceremony was held in the Nine Mountains Realm after all. For outsiders who entered the Nine Mountains Realm, their life and death could be decided by Zheng Fa's decision. Apart from these few people, Zheng Fa felt that others were unwilling to take the risk and come.

…

When Yan Wushuang received the letter, the Canyang Sword Immortal Han Lao was standing beside him, but the two true disciples of Haori Mountain and Taishang Dao were nowhere to be seen.

"What? Did your father send you a message again?"

"No, it was sent by Brother Zheng." Yan Wushuang received the communication talisman and looked at it. He couldn't hide his surprise and shouted, "Brother Zheng is going to be the head of the sect?"

"Um?"

Mr. Han was also stunned.

He thought for a moment and said, "Could it be possible that Zheng Fa has achieved the Golden Elixir?"

As soon as he said this, he remembered the aura on the communication talisman just now, and shook his head to deny it: "No, although this soul is extremely powerful and not inferior to the golden elixir, it is no different from the previous one."

Yan Wushuang nodded when he heard this, and the two looked at each other, both finding it a little unbelievable.

"The headmaster Yuan of Jiushan Sect is quite free and easy... Zheng Fa is only at the foundation building stage, yet they dare to let him be the headmaster."

"This is understandable. After all, the Nine Mountains Realm is now ruled by Zheng Fa... It's just that it's indeed a little too fast." Old Han nodded and said, "Did he send a message to ask you to attend the headmaster ceremony?"

Yan Wushuang nodded.

Old Han was not surprised, but just talked about another thing: "What do you think about your father asking you to go back?"

Yan Wushuang looked a little confused.

"He said that this place is dangerous now, and my two companions have been called back."

The two hid outside a small mortal town.

There used to be a small market under the city wall, but no one came here to shop now.

Looking out from the market, there are barren farmlands. It should have been harvest season, but there are neither farmers nor crops in the fields.

Only clumps of weeds were left swaying in the wind.

"The Great Freedom Demon Sect..." Old Han said in a low voice, "It's really hard to be in the secret realm."

Yan Wushuang looked back and saw one or two disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect leaning against the city gate and chatting and laughing, with smugness written all over their faces.

Then look towards the city.

The shops on the street were all open, but there were no customers. Only people wearing the costumes of the Great Freedom Demon Cult were wandering around casually, seemingly shopping - but judging by the faces of the shop owners, they didn't dare to ask for money.

It is even hard to say whether they opened the store voluntarily.

"Why is this Great Freedom Demon Cult... so?"

Seeing this bleak scene and remembering the various tragic things he had heard along the way, Yan Wushuang couldn't help but ask.

Logically speaking, the immortal sects are not very nice to ordinary people, but they don’t take everything from them either - to put it simply, they have a condescending and indifferent attitude.

"There are too many people." Old Han gave an answer that he did not expect.

"A lot of people?"

"The attitudes of immortal sects and demon sects towards mortals are essentially the same..." Han Lao's words made Yan Wushuang a little stunned, and then he heard Han Lao continue, "But the scale is too different."

"We carefully select disciples from our sect, and most of them have good aptitude. Mundane things are actually not very useful for cultivating immortals, so naturally we don't pay much attention to them."

"But the magic sect's method... uses blood as a bond. The more people are born, the higher the chance of a genius appearing."

Yan Wushuang suddenly realized, “But there are still so many resources for cultivating immortals, so most of the people in the Demon Sect don’t actually have the opportunity to cultivate—the problem is that they are naturally superior to others.”

"That's right." Old Han said with a smile, "If you say that the demon sects are all born evil, I don't think that's necessarily the case. Are all the immortal sects good people?"

Yan Wushuang nodded, knowing that Old Han had always had a prejudice against the Immortal Sect - but on the other hand, he was right.

"But the Demon Sect is indeed more ruthless than the Immortal Sect in terms of extortion, and is also more ruthless towards the mortals. In addition to the fact that some of their techniques require mass killing, in my opinion, this natural size gap is the reason."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Look at the Great Freedom Demon Sect. There are hundreds of millions of people in the secret realm. After they come out, everyone is a superior person. How can they support them if they don't scrape the land three feet high?"

Yan Wushuang fell into deep thought, and when he looked at the scenery in front of him, he suddenly had some insights.

"So you have to understand that the Demon Sect is naturally despised by people, but it is not that easy to become the leader of a force. Good and evil are not enough to describe a force."

"I still say the same thing, there is not much difference between the immortal sect and the demon sect."

Yan Wushuang knew that he was deliberately reminding him, and nodded and said, "Disciple understands."

As the two talked, they hurried towards the Nine Mountains Realm.

Old Han seemed to have some ideas, and he kept teaching Yan Wushuang based on what he saw and heard on the road.

I saw the refugees with pale faces.

I saw people trading their dignity for food.

Some people exchange their bodies for food.

Some people…exchanged their wives and children for food.

He even saw some things that made Yan Wushuang finally unable to resist and take action - this led to him being hunted down by the Great Freedom Demon Sect.

With Old Han by his side, he was naturally fine, but there was inexplicable sadness in his eyes and some hostility on his face.

"Do you know why your father asked you to go back?"

Seeing him like this, Old Han chuckled softly.

Yan Wushuang nodded.

“Is this just the beginning?”

Mr. Han agreed:

"Of course, the Hundred Immortals Alliance retreated quickly, and the Great Freedom Demon Sect didn't have to do anything. In fact, their methods are still relatively peaceful now."

"But it's impossible for the Immortal Sect and the Demon Sect to stay out of trouble forever."

"Once the fight breaks out, these people will probably be in a worse situation than they are now."

"The Demon Sect is trying to extort them, so the Immortal Sect won't be helpless if they get anxious."

Yan Wushuang didn't say anything, but just worked harder along the way.

With Mr. Han's protection, he was fine, but he encountered many troubles along the way.

It was not until they were close to the Nine Mountains Realm that they stopped showing off in order not to cause trouble for Zheng Fa.

When they reached a mountain range, Yan Wushuang released a talisman that looked like a kite, and an arch appeared in front of them.

Uncle Pang came out and said apologetically, "Junior Brother Zheng is entertaining Master Tongming, so I can only come here to entertain you two. Please come in!"

Yan Wushuang and the other person nodded. Master Tongming had already reached the state of spiritual enlightenment, so he was naturally more noble.

The two followed Uncle Pang and walked into the Heavenly Palace.

As soon as Yan Wushuang came in, he looked around with great interest.

The Nine Islands of Tiangong look like a courtyard with three entrances.

The outermost one is centered on Tiangong Island, connected to the medicine garden by a rainbow bridge, and there is also an island that will be used as a market town in the future.

These were called the Outer Three Islands by the disciples.

There are also three islands in the middle, with Paradise Island being the largest and most central.

It connects Qiuxian Island and Wanxian Island, which are the residential areas for disciples and Nascent Soul respectively.

This is the Central Three Islands.

Of the three innermost islands, two are the ones that Zheng Fa attaches the most importance to.

Jingkai Island will be the industrial production zone in the future.

University Island, where classrooms and laboratories are located.

There is also an island that Zheng Fa has not yet planned.

This is the Inner Three Islands.

The main line in the middle is from Tiangong Island through Paradise Island to University Island.

This is the path that Uncle Pang and his two companions took.

Yan Wushuang looked around curiously. He had been to the Heavenly Palace before, but had never seen these islands, so they were naturally new to him.

Uncle Pang introduced everyone along the way.

"The General Affairs Office was basically in charge of Tiangong Island just now."

"We have arrived at Paradise Island." Uncle Pang said, "The island is mostly populated by mortals who followed us into the Nine Mountains Realm."

Yan Wushuang and Old Han turned to look.

Today's Paradise Island has been initially developed.

Three hundred thousand people formed four to five hundred villages, distributed on and off the island.

The houses in the village are all newly built. For the sake of convenience, the appearance of everyone's houses is not much different. They are all small courtyards with white walls and green tiles, neatly arranged in rows.

The sound of reading could be heard faintly from the village.

"This is……"

"Junior Brother Zheng's idea is to promote compulsory education... He said that all children of school age must go to school. Those mortals who can follow us are knowledgeable, and naturally we are more than happy to have them."

Old Han nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.

Yan Wushuang didn't think about anything, but the hostility on his face seemed to dissipate a lot invisibly.

Walking out of the village, there were many farmers with their wives walking towards the fields with hoes on their shoulders.

The new varieties of rice seedlings planted in the fields have already shown some green color.

After walking for a while, they passed a village. The children seemed to have finished school. Some of them were sensible and ran to bring food to their parents. There were many more laughters in the fields.

Yan Wushuang and Old Han couldn't help but slow down their pace a bit.

What surprised them even more was that there were some monks walking through the fields, surrounded by farmers who seemed to be asking questions and were not afraid at all.

The monk didn't look very kind, but he answered every question. Upon closer listening, it turned out that he was instructing the farmers on how to farm.

If a farmer has a problem and asks him to come and give guidance, he will think for a while and say he will have time in a few days.

"this……"

This scene stunned Mr. Han.

"This is also what Junior Brother Zheng thought. What is the Agricultural Guidance Institute? Everyone is quite willing to work there if they can make some contributions."

Seeing that they were still puzzled, Uncle Pang smiled and said, "We don't understand why, either - Brother Zheng always likes to say things like how cultivating immortals is not such a superficial thing..."

Mr. Han and the other man were still confused.

"Junior Brother Zheng also said that the foundation of immortals like me is mortals. Mortals worship immortals, so immortals have the obligation to help mortals."

"Anyway, these are all unheard-of fallacies...we can't refute them."

Uncle Pang muttered to himself.

Yan Wushuang glanced at Old Han, then looked at the cultivator in the distance who was surrounded by the crowd, not used to it, but working hard. He thought of all the scenes he had seen in the outside world.

He was silent for a long time.

Until you reach University Island.

On the University Island, Zheng Fa was surrounded by the headmaster, Senior Sister Zhang and others, who were receiving Master Tongming.

Master Tongming brought quite a few people with him.

Most of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, but the behavior of one of them was extremely strange. He was not very old, and his cultivation was not high either. He was just practicing Qi, but he stood very close to the front.

This person lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to raise his head in front of so many powerful people.

But he seemed unable to help himself and kept secretly glancing at Zheng Fa.

"I heard that this disciple of Qingmu Sect has a deep connection with you..."

Master Tongming seemed to suddenly remember something and pointed at the man.

Zheng Fa looked at the Seventh Young Master who was cowering in front of him, and he was surprised and happy at the same time - he had been sending letters to the Seventh Young Master, but he didn't expect that this man would be brought here by Master Tongming.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is my old friend. I was worried about him a while ago."

"Master Zheng, don't worry. The Qingmu Sect was migrating a few days ago, so it's normal that the communication is not smooth."

When the Seventh Young Master heard the three words "Master Zheng", he blinked and looked at Zheng Fa's expression, which became confused again.

Like a dream.
