In the 6265th year of the lunar calendar,

Lin Jiang of Harbor City used various excuses to block inquiries and dissatisfaction from the outside world, forcibly suppressed the intention of all parties to counterattack the demon clan, and arranged personnel from all parties to deal with the post-war situation.

When the matter came to an end, Lin Jiang walked into the quiet room where Cao Ying was in seclusion. During this period, Cao Ying had been claiming to be in seclusion.

"Are the things outside dealt with?" "

Almost."

"The reaction is huge, right?"

"As expected, but it has been suppressed for now."

Lin Jiang nodded. The reactions from all parties were still huge. The demon clan attacked suddenly, and many people died. It was wrong to not pursue the victory with such a huge advantage.

"That's good."

"Now let's sort out Fengjiu's words."

"Okay."

"Fengjiu said that he is not the Heavenly Dao, but a remnant soul, the obsession of the soul. He also said that becoming an immortal is a scam since ancient times. This explains a lot of situations. For example, can we guess that Fengjiu was being monitored by something when he was chatting? He didn't dare to tell the truth, but wanted to tell us something, so he kept hinting at it."

"I have also had this guess, and if this inference is true, then our current conversation is actually being monitored."

"If this is the case, then the one who can do this is a real immortal, or the Heavenly Dao,"

said Lin Jiang. He can conclude that even those in the Tribulation Crossing or Mahayana period cannot do this.

"The Way of Heaven has been around since ancient times, and all explanations of the Way of Heaven attribute it to an illusory thing like luck. No one has ever proved the existence of the Way of Heaven.

Immortals have also been around since ancient times. They practice Qi to build a foundation, then attain the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul, then transform the spirit into the void, then merge with the Dao to overcome calamities, and then achieve the Mahayana and ascend to heaven. After ascending to heaven, they become immortals."

"The Way of Heaven is not an illusory thing like luck. The appearance of Xia Qingshan has proved it, as has the remnant soul of Feng Jiu, and I have personally witnessed his merging with the Dao, so I can confirm this.

Secondly, as for immortals, and even the system of cultivating immortals, I want to ask, why is it that one practices Qi to build a foundation, and finally achieves the Mahayana and ascends to heaven? No one in this world has ever ascended, so why are you so sure about it?"

"I can't answer your question, uncle. If you want to ask that, then you are questioning the foundation of the entire system of cultivating immortals. But this is not wrong. Cultivating immortals is real, and we can really gain powerful strength through cultivating immortals, and there is no doubt about that."

"Yes, in fact, what we are talking about now involves the philosophy of cultivating immortals. Perhaps only by finding the most fundamental meaning and existence of cultivating immortals can we answer this question."

"The solution is for me to break through the Tribulation Period. Fengjiu said that I will have a true answer after breaking through the Tribulation Period."

"Knowing that there are still things in this world that are not understood, asking you to break through is to let you take risks. This is not okay."

"Someone has to try."

"That's not you. You can wait for me or others. Now there are many people in our human race who have returned to the Void."

Lin Jiang said in a deep voice. He would not take Cao Ying to take risks. There are many candidates who can take risks, and she doesn't need to do so.

"I know that I won't break through casually. Besides, my realm seems to be only one step away from the Tribulation Period, but I may not be able to break through in my lifetime."

"Today's discussion of the Tao ends here. I will make good preparations. Don't underestimate the power of mortals."

Lin Jiang said. He plans to find scientists to study it, such as finding the existence of the Way of Heaven. Is the Way of Heaven an illusory thing like luck, or a kind of life?

········

Cao Ying still advertised that she was in seclusion. Recently, she should not show up, because if she did, she would not be able to make Lin Jiang's logic come true, and the people below would definitely ask for a fight again.

Lin Jiang pushed the Tianya Mountain base forward by thousands of kilometers, encroaching on the monster tribe's territory, building a large number of fortress bases, and at the same time clearing the monster tribe in the Endless Sea.

The core of the whole strategy is to compress the living environment of the demon tribe and weaken its power. Not destroying the demon tribe now does not mean that they will let the demon tribe recover its strength. Lin Jiang must be able to destroy the demon tribe at any time.

At the same time, it is to do a good job in domestic affairs and continue to cultivate talents. No matter what the scam Feng Jiu said, the more masters the better.

In the third month after the war, Lin Jiang received the specific data of the war damage. Seven large cities in China suffered a devastating blow. Zhou Liao was more unlucky, with 16 cities. Qingyun had slightly fewer, with three large cities. As for small and medium-sized cities, China and Zhou Liao had hundreds of them. The death toll of the three allies was close to 100 million, much more than the previous preliminary statistics, and the number of missing people reached millions.

The immortal cultivators also suffered heavy losses. Even the awakened immortal cultivators died in the battle of 13, and several were seriously injured, the kind of injuries that were enough to affect their path.

This tragic loss made China a little bit overwhelmed. Public opinion exploded directly. I don't know how many people were strongly asking for a fight. There were millions of requests for fighting at the Tianya Mountain Base, asking to go to the battlefield.

Lin Jiang took another look at the results of the battle, which were also very fruitful. This battle killed the Peng Bird Demon King Lin Wanli, severely injured the Demon Queen Lin Fanghua, and the Fire Scale Demon King and the Divine Martial Demon King were also seriously injured. Eleven sixth-level demons were killed, thirty-six fifth-level demons were killed, and there were hundreds of fourth-level demons. It was impossible to count those below the fourth level. Anyway, the endless sea was full of demon corpses. Some brave cultivators went out to sea to salvage the corpses and made a lot of money.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield also changed. The demons entered a state of full defense. On the Fangzhang Continent, the human race expanded thousands of miles, and the activity area of ​​some scattered cultivators also increased again. The real living environment of the demons shrank by almost one third.

Outside Fangzhangzhou, China began to unite with other countries to divide and encircle the demons in the Endless Sea. The navy, which had been basically eliminated, was brought up again, requiring the construction of new naval ships to expedition to the Endless Sea and keep the sea routes in various regions unblocked.

In the past hundred years, the demons occupied almost all the oceans, which cut off the ocean trade of the human race. They relied on aircraft and teleportation arrays for trade transmission, and the transmission cost increased several times. If the ocean trade can be reopened, then the cost must be reduced.

"Develop Penglaizhou"

Lin Jiang, under the advice of the think tank, quickly launched a plan to develop Penglaizhou within China.

The moss that Zhou Liao discovered can eliminate nuclear radiation has been in China for many years, and has been cultivated on a large scale, and even new varieties have been developed. It is not a big problem to develop Penglaizhou now.

This plan can also bring them a lot of benefits, and the land of Penglaizhou has more rainfall than China, and various resources are still there. Once successfully developed, there can be countless benefits.

Lin Jiang can also use this incident to divert the attention of public opinion. Now the public opinion for war is too big, and Lin Jiang must reduce this heat, so a Penglaizhou development plan that can bring benefits to China as a whole is very appropriate.

In fact, it is also very useful. Once this plan was announced, it immediately caused heated discussions. The middle and upper class people hope to gain benefits from the development. With so many territories, it would be a huge benefit if they could grab a little bit there. The lower class people hope to get some benefits such as jobs, and not to roll up in China.

Even other countries have come to inquire about the news and want to get a share of the pie. After all, Penglaizhou is too big. They think that China can't eat it all, but they can still get some.

Seeing that the attention was successfully diverted, Lin Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought about it. Maybe he should meet the demon queen Lin Fanghua once to see if he can get some information from Lin Fanghua. Lin Fanghua must have been rescued by Fengjiu at the beginning, and maybe Fengjiu said something to Lin Fanghua.
