In the 6500th year of the Xia calendar

, the whole world ushered in a scene of prosperity. In China, after Zhou Yuan and Lin Hongcong broke through the Hedao, Lin Ying followed closely, and then the other peak return to the void also went into seclusion without the help of spiritual medicine.

And one after another, some people succeeded. So far, there are ten Hedao in China, and the probability of successful breakthrough accounts for about half of the number of people in seclusion. This probability is already terrifying.

China has added many Hedao, but it is not publicized, but Yingzhou has made a big fuss because the two return to the void elders in Yingzhou also broke through at the same time.

Although Qingyun, Zhou Liao and the five allied countries have not produced Hedao, their new generation of immortal cultivators have also caught up with China's footsteps. Some of them have advanced to the stage of transformation. Even those small countries in the west of Shenzhou have also had people break through the Nascent Soul. The prosperous atmosphere can be seen.

As for the demon race, its strength is also increasing rapidly. The Fire Scale Demon King and the Divine Martial Demon King have not yet broken through the eighth level, but the seventh level demon kings have added a few more, reaching ten.

"In this prosperous era, Xiaoying, what does that person want to do?"

Lin Jiang said to Cao Ying. After combining all the information, Lin Jiang found that the current world is about to catch up with the peak of the cultivation world.

That is, before the war between the two races in the cultivation era, but at that time, they were blessed by Xia Qingshan. Now, the new generation of cultivators has not yet exerted their strength. In another one or two hundred years, when the new generation has completely caught up, the Hedao will be filled with baskets.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Don't play dead, it's the one we guessed."

"I don't know, uncle, maybe we guessed wrong?"

"Impossible, I am more and more convinced that my guess is right."

"In that case, then I will retreat and break through. I am just one step away."

"No, I won't allow it."

"Then I can't answer it,"

Cao Ying shook her head and said, she couldn't answer these questions now.

"Wait until I catch up with your cultivation level,"

Lin Jiang said. Over the past few decades, he has not been idle and has been practicing. The speed of his cultivation level improvement is not bad.

"It will take at least several hundred years, it's very difficult to wait. Some of our awakened cultivators have passed away,"

Cao Ying said. More than a hundred people have awakened, most of them have been able to advance, but a few have not. Perhaps they have insufficient life span, their blood and qi are declining, and the elixir is no longer effective for them. Some have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation. Now three people have passed away, and there are still some who have little life span and are waiting to pass away.

"It's not easy to wait, but we have to wait. Now we have to remain unchanged in the face of changes."

Lin Jiang shook his head. Now Lin Jiang really has no plans for the future, because he has no idea who the enemy is and what kind of existence he is. Lin Jiang can only bet on space technology. Maybe one day, he can move to other planets and find a real way to live forever.

········

Cao Ying returned to her room. She turned off all modern items, computers, networks, watches, bionic robots, walked into a small quiet room, took out a cushion, and sat down cross-legged.

The quiet room was very clean. In addition to the futon, there was an incense burner and photos on the wall. The incense burner was used to light calming incense, which was helpful for spiritual practice. As for the photos, they were all photos of her and Lin Jiang.

Some of the photos were very old and yellowed. They were taken not long after she woke up. At that time, she had just learned about the existence of cameras.

She felt that it was much better than the immortal cultivators' photo-taking talismans, so she learned it for a few days, then took the camera and took a lot of photos. She also took Lin Jiang and took many photos together. They were very intimate, like an ordinary couple.

"Uncle, I know what you are worried about. For you, I am willing to take risks."

Cao Ying sighed in her heart. She reviewed her life over the past few hundred years and felt that it was very beautiful.

Although she and Lin Jiang did not have an official public status, she did not care. She did not need that kind of status. She just needed to be able to accompany Lin Jiang and never be separated like before.

Guarding each other by each other's side, this was enough.

So Cao Ying has now made up her mind that she wants to break through and advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Even though she knows that this is a very risky thing to do, she still wants to do it.

Waiting for hundreds of years was very tormenting. She couldn't bear to let Lin Jiang suffer like this, so she couldn't wait to design a breakthrough for Li Qing, nor wait for other Hedao to break through. She wanted to do it herself.

After making up her mind, Cao Ying released a substitute. They had refined several substitutes that were so real that they were indistinguishable from the real thing. They were originally kept to conceal the truth, but one was broken by the Queen of Demons, so the effect was lost.

The substitute was activated, and Cao Ying disappeared in the quiet room. She was going to find a place for retreat and couldn't be discovered, otherwise Lin Jiang would definitely not allow her to do so.

········· Chen Jinfa from

Penglaizhou

appeared from the headquarters of the Eight Desolations Group. As soon as he walked out of the teleportation array, some high-level people from the Eight Desolations Group came up to greet him. They reported their identities to each other. After confirming that they were correct, Chen Jinfa was warmly welcomed.

Coming to the restaurant that had been prepared long ago, Chen Jinfa enjoyed top-notch delicacies. The delicacies on the table were not cheap in China. Some of them were high-end luxury goods.

Chen Jinfa rarely talked about work at the dinner table. After the meal, Chen Jinfa suggested taking a walk. A senior executive of the Eight Desolations Group accompanied Chen Jinfa for a walk.

The town was beautifully built and full of style. It looked like a high-end wealthy area in China. But outside the town, it was a mess. Chen Jinfa only observed it briefly and then withdrew his consciousness.

Chen Jinfa knew what was going on. Penglaizhou now had no country in the open, only the bases of major companies. Their own bases were naturally well built, and other places were random. Without a strong official overall planning, it would be strange if the infrastructure was good.

The executives of the Eight Desolations Group were explaining the situation to Chen Jinfa. Chen Jinfa was not here for vacation, he was here to investigate a case.

Since Chen Jinfa was recruited, he has always been Qiu Weidao's right-hand man and has won Qiu Weidao's trust. His own abilities have also been effectively developed. Over the years, he has been investigating and handling cases related to evil ways in China. He has solved countless cases. The evil ways in China have a feeling of stopping children from crying when they hear Chen Jinfa's name.

"Within one year, six Yuanying stage and thirteen Jindan stage disappeared. You reported it too slowly."

Chen Jinfa was a little dissatisfied with him after listening to the man's story. Why did they report it after so many people disappeared?

"Master Chen, please bear with me. The situation here in Penglai Island is a bit complicated..."

The senior executive hurriedly explained that they really didn't know that the murderer was so cruel and difficult to deal with, so they reported it so late.

They also have internal indicators. They can't ask their superiors for instructions every time there is a problem, otherwise what are they supposed to do? At first, when one or two people disappeared, they thought about solving it internally. It was not until the people who went to investigate disappeared that they became anxious and could not hide it anymore, so they reported it to their superiors.

"How many of these nineteen people are still alive?"

"Seventeen are confirmed dead, and their soul lamps are all extinguished. We searched according to the breath they left behind, but there was no result..."

"But the report said that only ten people died and nine were missing.

" "This..."

"If you want to solve the case, I should know all the clues."

Chen Jinfa was even more angry when he heard this. These people were simply seeing ghosts. He came here in person, but they still hid it.

"Yes, yes..."

Seeing that there was no one around, the executive could only tell the truth. They concealed a lot of things because there were many private matters. The Eight Desolations Group had many industries in Penglaizhou, involving the private property of many big shots. Among the missing and dead people, some were specializing in handling private property for big shots.

Chen Jinfa felt even more headache when he heard him tell the truth. He was most afraid of this kind of case. It was not a simple homicide or evil case, but also involved the secrets of many big shots. If he was not careful, even he would be implicated.

However, Chen Jinfa has also confirmed that there is indeed a very powerful evil sect on Penglai Island, whose cultivation is estimated to be no lower than the late Nascent Soul stage. He is also in the late Nascent Soul stage. He doesn't know whether he can deal with it. He may need to ask a master to come and take charge.
