Xia State, outside the Xia Capital
"In the first month of the hundredth year of the Xia calendar, Emperor Lin Jiang of Xia abdicated to Yao outside the Xia Capital. - "Book of Xia""
As the historian of the Xia State wrote the last stroke in the history book, the final abdication ceremony ended. This year, the ceremony of the king of the Xia State offering sacrifices to the heaven and earth and ancestors was presided over by Yao.
A month later, Yao led Prime Minister Zhang Ran and other ministers to bid farewell to Lin Jiang outside the Xia Capital. Lin Jiang waved to everyone and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

"My mission in the Xia State has been completed. Should I go to sleep?"
On the official road of the Xia State, Lin Jiang changed his gorgeous clothes, wore ordinary cloth clothes, rode an old horse, like an ordinary small vendor, and Lin Jiang was planning his future.
His mission in the Xia State has been completed. After Lin Jiang's hundred years of struggle, the Xia State has become a country with a territory of tens of thousands of miles, nearly five million people, and hundreds of thousands of warriors. In today's world, its strength is second to none.
Whether it is population size, productivity, production tools or national system, they are far superior to other forces.
Lin Jiang is very proud of being able to do this in a hundred years. After all, he really started from scratch, and it was all created by him and his people.
"You can sleep anytime, so let's go somewhere else."
Lin Jiang then thought carefully and decided to walk around. After all, this kind of primitive scenery may not be seen in the future. After
years of surveying and comparison, Lin Jiang has determined that the location of Xiadu should be not far from the former Yunzhong City, and the territory of Xia State actually occupies only a small area of Yunzhou, and the development direction is biased to the north. The Anhua City and the Five Elements Sect of the past have not been involved.
So Lin Jiang's first stop is to go west, wanting to see the former Anhua City and the Five Elements Sect. After walking for several months, he still saw the primitive scenery and primitive tribes, and could not find any traces of the past. Finally, Lin Jiang gave up and turned all the way to the north.
After a few months, Lin Jiang came to Qingzhou again. There were already one or two hundred awakened immortal cultivators in Qingzhou. Lin Jiang did not bring all of them back that year.
However, Lin Jiang's appearance still shocked them greatly. In the past few years, they have sent people to Xiaguo to investigate the national conditions of Xiaguo, learn the system of Xiaguo, and advanced agricultural technology. In a few years, these tribes have gradually established countries one by one. Qingzhou has become a place full of great powers.
Seeing that they are also on the right track, Lin Jiang did not disturb them. He looked around quietly and then turned to the northwest of Qingzhou.
The tribe that Lin Guoning and his people had established is still there. Lin Hongjin and a few people are sitting here. They are still adhering to Lin Jiang's orders and guarding here. I don't know if there are any new immortal cultivators awakening in these years, but they dare not easily enter the space debris and disturb those sleeping immortal cultivators.
Lin Jiang did not disturb Lin Hongjin, and quietly slipped into the space debris and looked at those sleeping immortal cultivators. Many of these people are acquaintances of Lin Jiang.
They include the descendants of Zhang Wanjing of the Five Elements Sect, as well as members of the Lin family, who are also the descendants of Lin Jiang, and the disciples that Lin Jiang recruited in Bingzhou. Only the disciples of the Zhongxing Sect are not so familiar to Lin Jiang.
"Sleep, you are lucky, you have escaped the world-destroying natural disaster and the dark world now."
Lin Jiang sighed. They are really lucky. They survived the world-destroying natural disaster. Now the heaven is asleep and the spiritual energy disappears. For the immortal cultivators, it is dark, but they still have a life span and can continue to sleep.
·······
After coming out of the space fragment, Lin Jiang continued to go north and walked for several months. He was accompanied by snakes, insects, tigers and leopards, and the blue sky and white clouds were his friends. He saw many strange things and left many traces. For example, some boulders and cliffs were left with Lin Jiang's writings. Perhaps many years later, they will either become an unsolved mystery or a scenic spot.
"This is the Zhongzhou of the past. There are no bustling cities anymore, only towering trees."
Lin Jiang looked at the unchanged ancient scenery in front of him, feeling deeply moved. Zhongzhou used to be so prosperous, a holy land for immortal cultivators in the minds of immortal cultivators. There were more than ten large cities with a population of over one million, which was the elite place for immortal cultivators of the human race.
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wash away heroes, success and failure are in vain, the green mountains are still there, the sunset is
red and white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are on the river bank, accustomed to the autumn and spring breezes, a pot of muddy wine is happy to meet, so many things in ancient and modern times, all in jokes"
Lin Jiang stood by a big river and sang this Linjiangxian loudly
. The first time Lin Jiang heard this poem was when he was reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, Lin Jiang only felt that his whole soul was shocked and he felt the heavy sense of history .
But Lin Jiang didn't have a deeper feeling.
But now it's different. Standing on the former Zhongzhou territory, this kind of desolate, generous and tragic mood hits you. This feeling cannot be felt without being there in person, but those who have experienced it may only leave a sigh.
Due to fate, Lin Jiang obtained a life span that ordinary people can hardly imagine. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is immortal, but even so, Lin Jiang can't catch the time and can't make up for the regrets in his life.
Lin Jiang did not cross the river, nor did he go to the northern part of Zhongzhou, because Lin Jiang knew that nothing had changed. If it were not for his appearance and the early layout of so many immortal cultivators, this world would follow his own rules, and it should be a world of primitive people now.
They would go through a long primitive society, step by step towards civilization and light. The road was very difficult, and perhaps a natural disaster would make them extinct again.
But after all, Lin Jiang and his people appeared. Their appearance was a variable for the world, making the direction of the whole world become strange.
Turning to the east, Lin Jiang spent several months and came to the former Bingzhou territory. Today's Bingzhou seems to have become Hezhou. Along the way, Lin Jiang saw several large rivers and many lakes, which were completely different from the scenes of Qingzhou and Yunzhou.
This place seemed to have become a swamp world, which reminded Lin Jiang of a place name he had heard of but never seen, Yunmengze.
Swamps are very dangerous, because you don't know what will appear under your feet, whether it is poisonous insects or beasts, or miasma. Of course, it may be a simple swamp, but it can swallow people.
Lin Jiang was confident of his martial arts skills, so he didn't dare to run in easily, and went around from the side.
He walked eastward for an unknown distance, and felt that he had reached the former wild land. Unfortunately, Lin Jiang didn't know where the little sand sculpture was sleeping, otherwise he really wanted to go and see the little sand sculpture. There
were no monsters in the monster land, but Lin Jiang saw many powerful beasts, some beasts that he couldn't name, even tigers and leopards, which were more powerful than those in Yunzhou. He didn't know if it was because of the monster bloodline.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas is really not made up."
Lin Jiang sighed again. Here, he felt a little bit like he was in the prehistoric world, which was completely different from the primitive society of Yunzhou.
"I don't know when the human race will be able to expand here."
Lin Jiang shook his head. After coming to the wild land, he didn't see primitive people, not even a tribe. Now it is definitely a forbidden area for human race.
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost two years since Lin Jiang came out. He has become a primitive man again, and his clothes are tattered. Lin Jiang decided to return.
Turning southwest, he walked all the way. After more than a year, he finally arrived at Yunzhou. The Yunzhong Mountains were still so majestic and easy to identify.
After browsing the Yunzhong Mountains, Lin Jiang did not disturb the people of Xia State. He quietly looked at Cao Ying, Lin Ying and the big sand sculpture, and then walked back to his sleeping place.
"I hope that the next time I wake up, the Heavenly Dao has awakened and the spiritual energy has revived."
Lin Jiang once again lay in the sarcophagus and used the pure internal energy to activate the previous formation. This time, Lin Jiang set his sleeping time to one thousand years. One thousand years should be enough. The Heavenly Dao can't sleep late, right?
