In the 6132nd year of the Xia calendar

, Lin Jiang brought Xiao Sha Diao to Beixian Kingdom. Beixian Kingdom was located in the former Youzhou area. Its territory covered part of Beizhou area. It had a very large territory, but not a large population, because most of Beixian Kingdom was too cold and unsuitable for mortals to survive.

However, it was a blessing in disguise. The number of monsters in Beixian Kingdom was several times less than that in other areas, so the pressure to deal with monsters was very light.

"This is the former Tianxuan Sect's territory, right?"

Xiao Sha Diao was also revisiting the old place, and he sighed in his heart. They had been here for many years.

"Yes, further north is the former Xiaotian City, but there is no one there anymore. Mortals can't stand the cold."

"Brother, why did you bring me here?"

"Nothing, I've been in China for a long time, so I came out to relax and come to Beizhou to find some resources to play with."

Lin Jiang said. For tens of thousands of years, he hadn't set foot here again. He just came to see the scenery of the North Country and the scene of thousands of miles of ice.

The two kept going north and soon came to a place with ice and snow all year round. There were very few monsters here. When they saw the two, they fled in panic.

The fate of the monsters was too tragic. They were just commodities in the era of cultivating immortals. They finally dominated the world for thousands of years in the end of the law era, but the technology tree selected by Lin Jiang ended the fate of their race.

The two did not go to look for monsters, but they looked for the caves below where they had lived. Unfortunately, they did not find them. Tens of thousands of years had passed, and things had long since changed.

However, there were many resources for cultivating immortals. Lin Jiang found a lot of black ice and extremely cold blue flames. These were very precious treasures. There were not many immortal cultivators now, and their activities were not here. The two could ask for them as much as they wanted.

"Hehe, brother, these things can buy a few bionic robots, right?"

The little sand sculpture's eyes lit up, knowing that these resources for cultivating immortals were good things and could be sold for a lot of money.

Lin Jiang ignored him directly and wandered around alone. After all, it was different from the past. Lin Jiang sighed and finally returned depressed.

Arriving at the former Liangzhou area, Lin Jiang saw the stone monsters. The stone monsters were no different from before, except that there were fewer of them. The stone monsters were not very aggressive. After all, they did not need to devour flesh and blood to increase their strength. They grew by refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.

But obviously, the human race here did not think so. They had always wanted to wipe out the stone monsters, but unfortunately they had little effect. The stone monsters had too strong defenses. They could not be broken by firepower, and were not invaded by water and fire. There was no way to deal with them.

Lin Jiang and the little sand sculpture stole two stone monsters that had not yet transformed, that is, big stones. They were chased by one of the stone monsters for a long distance, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of them.

There is a plateau area to the west. Further west is the west of Shenzhou. There are also more than a dozen countries there. They were once colonies and vassal states of the three allied countries, and now they are also suffering from the destruction of monsters.

Lin Jiang has seen too many human tragedies and has no interest in seeing them again, so he did not see them. Instead, he went all the way south and returned to China. Lin Jiang also took the little sand sculpture to see the sleeping big sand sculpture.

"Ah, my sister is not dead either."

Little Sha Diao didn't know whether he was happy or worried. He didn't have many people to fear now. His wife, his wife was not afraid, his daughter, his daughter was not afraid, but the one he was afraid of was definitely Big Sha Diao.

"When Big Sha Diao wakes up, I will help her break through the fifth and sixth levels. You can do whatever you want then."

Little Sha Diao suddenly became sad. He felt that he had to run away in the future. After all, being a spy didn't necessarily mean being in China. He might as well go to other countries.

Lin Jiang threw the untransformed stone monster to the research institute and returned to Harbour City. He met Cao Ying who was back for vacation. Now that there were more awakened immortal cultivators, Cao Ying didn't have to be so busy.

"I heard that you took Little Sha Diao home?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Is it reliable? Is it a spy from the demon clan?"

"Yes, it's a spy, but I think he's reliable."

Lin Jiang nodded. He and Little Sha Diao had a friendship of life and death, and had been together for thousands of years.

"We still have to be careful. The demons are growing very fast and are very smart. On the battlefield, they often come up with new tactics and have begun to use human technological weapons."

"Technological weapons?"

"Yes, guns and cannons. These things have a great impact on low-level cultivators, and casualties have increased a lot."

"If they really develop technology, then we won't be afraid."

Lin Jiang shook his head. If it comes to technology, the demons don't have a chance of winning. Technology is very complicated. It requires resources and talents. The demons will fight with their heads.

"The demons will definitely not win if it's just a technology battle. What we're afraid of is that the demons will also develop nuclear weapons. The technology of nuclear weapons is not very complicated. What is needed is resources. According to our investigation, the human race in the southern part of Penglai Island was not all killed. At least tens of millions of them were preserved."

"Xiaoying, it's not that simple. The key to making nuclear weapons lies in resources, such as electricity. These are the key points. They can't make them. Moreover, the spiritual energy is about to fully recover. When the queen's cultivation level is upgraded to the seventh level, the effect of nuclear weapons will be very weak. They will give up on their own initiative."

Lin Jiang shook his head, thinking that Cao Ying was overthinking. Although nuclear weapons were made in China two hundred years ago, it is still a question whether other regions can make them. Even if they are made, it is still a problem that they cannot be deployed. Lin Jiang is not worried about this.

This period is actually a transitional period for the recovery of spiritual energy. The demon clan will think about these things because their cultivation level is not enough. When the cultivation level is completely restored, they will not think so. At that time, they will still rely on individual strength.

Yingzhou, Anlan Mountains

Li Qing is being besieged by three demon kings. The three demon kings are all bloodlines of divine beasts, which makes Li Qing's situation very dangerous, and the other elders of Wangxian Sect are also entangled by demon kings.

"Open fire"

Seeing this, Zheng Yi, who was in command at the rear, immediately ordered to open fire. At one command, dozens of positions behind the defense line opened fire at the same time.

Most of them were conventional chemical gunpowder weapons, but a small number were psychic weapons. These weapons were very precious because they could not produce them themselves. Most of them were imported from China. If one was broken, one would be less.

These fired firepowers were all regulated by artificial intelligence, and almost all of them were aimed at the demon clan, which made the demon king also feel pain. Li Qing took the opportunity to get rid of the entanglement and escaped back to the defense line. Without

the restraint of his own people, Zheng Yi ordered continuous firing. Some demon kings were beaten to pieces and ran away screaming. The offensive of the demon clan was curbed.

"Master, are you okay?"

Zheng Yi hurried to see Li Qing's situation. Li Qing was the first to be ambushed by the demon clan.

"I'm fine, Elder Wu, how about you?"

"We're fine too, these beasts have learned to be smart."

"They're obviously from Penglai Island, I know a few of the demon kings."

"The demon kings of Yingzhou don't break through the fifth level so quickly. Those who can do this must be from Penglai Island. How many demon kings are sleeping in the demon clan?"

Several elders spoke. In the past few years, after they came to Yingzhou, the strength of Yingzhou expanded rapidly. They even went deep into the north of Yingzhou to hunt the fourth-level demon kings, but this time they were ambushed and almost overturned, which made them hate it.

"The demon clan has begun to unite, and the world is going to change drastically again. If the spiritual energy is completely revived, we can't stop it with the dozen demon kings in Penglai Island now."

Li Qing said. She is the only one in Penglai Island with the highest cultivation level, the Return to Void Stage, which is equivalent to the sixth level of the demon clan, but there are many sixth-level demons in the demon clan, and there are many seventh-level ones alive, at least three or four.

"Master, what should we do? I've read the news released by China. In three to five years at most, the spiritual energy can be restored to the sixth level, and within thirty years, it will definitely be restored to the seventh level. By then, we may have to face the Demon King of the Hedao level."

"Zheng Yi, how is the training of disciples going?"

"The highest cultivation level is already in the late Jindan period, but within thirty years, the highest will be in the Yuanying period. It can't be higher, no matter how many spiritual medicines are used."

"Then we still have to focus on technology. Are you sure?"

"No, it's easy to train ordinary scientific and technological personnel, but that kind of top scientist requires a strong foundation and luck, which is even harder than producing a genius in cultivating immortals. In addition, as for the development of basic technology, we are not very good and have been blocked too much by China."

"How could this be?"

"The mortal world is like this. Take a psychic cannon as an example. A finished psychic cannon looks simple, but it involves dozens of industries. As long as one industry is restricted, it cannot develop,"

said Zheng Yi. He is responsible for managing the mortals in Yingzhou. The more he understands, the more difficult it feels. There are only four words "complete industry", but behind them are countless blood and tears.

"Then cooperate with Huaxia"

"Master, we have been seeking cooperation with Huaxia. They are willing to give technology to light industry, but the core technology is hidden tightly. Not to mention us, even Qingyun and Zhou Liao, who have been friends for thousands of years, are unwilling to give it to them."

Zheng Yi said. Those high-tech are the country's heavy weapons. How can they be easily given to them.

"What else can we exchange?"

"Except for some resources, everything else is gone."

"What can resources be exchanged for?"

"That is not certain, but we have nothing to sell."

Zheng Yi once again said a fact that was difficult for Li Qing to accept, that is, Yingzhou's overall strength was too weak, there was no bright spot in technology, it was weak overall, and secondly, there were not many resources to sell.
