Chapter 433: Symbolic Revelation, Man-Made Heaven
The friend request has been approved and you are now the other party's friend.
Xia Lin: Brother, what’s your name?
Mr. Zhang from AAA Tobacco and Liquor Wholesale: Just call me Lao Zhang.
Xia Lin: Brother Zhang, I was introduced by Mr. Wang.
Mr. Zhang: Yeah, I know. Just get straight to the point.
Xia Lin: I have a batch of goods I want to sell...
Mr. Zhang: Xiao Wang has told you all the rules, right?
Xia Lin: I probably know.
Mr. Zhang: I'll leave the items in room 301 at the Dongxiang Hotel. Don't worry about them after you put them down. Just wait for my news. Give me your bank card number in advance, and I'll handle the necessary paperwork. Don't worry about the risk of having a large amount of money of unknown origin.
There's something of a decisive and vigorous style to Zhang Zong's work.
He doesn't talk much and won't chat with you about other things. Just wait for the money to be paid after the things are delivered.
Of course, the handling fees are also high.
Xia Lin didn't care about the handling fee.
Because whether from the perspective of factual logic or from the perspective of symbolic meaning, the 50 kilograms of gold in Xia Lin's hands cannot be converted into equivalent cash 100%.
If you really want to gain something, you still have to see how Xia Lin operates in reality.
——To put it bluntly, Mr. Zhang’s channel is also a symbol.
It is a symbol that Xia Lin can benefit from Yang Zhe's death!
The more benefits Xia Lin gets in real life, the more windfall he makes in secret. If Xia Lin does nothing in real life, this batch of gold will naturally be useless.
In the dark, Xia Lin immediately went out with his suitcase and headed to the designated location.
In reality, Xia Lin also walked slowly towards the super-time and space transmission channel.
Outside the star, with Yang Zhe's death and the appearance of the Demon Emperor, the battle between immortals and demons broke out again.
But he didn't know that on the planet under his feet, there was an Old Six who was waiting to take advantage of the opportunity.
In the dark, Xia Lin arrived at Box 301 of Dongxiang Hotel, put his suitcase in the corner of the box, and turned away.
In reality, Xia Lin came close to the super-time and space transmission channel.
He looked up at the battle between immortals and demons, and after confirming that there was no external interference, this was still a bladder game, so he stopped paying attention to it.
The light of time and space slowly bloomed in his hands, and Xia Lin activated the essence of super time and space!
The essence of super time and space is the skill-based presentation of the super time and space transmission channel. The principles of the two come from the same source.
At this moment, as Xia Lin activated his skills, he immediately established a connection with the super-time and space transmission channel.
An inconspicuous independent space door quickly appeared in front of Xia Lin. As Xia Lin stepped into it, he felt dizzy and overwhelmed.
The next second, Xia Lin opened his eyes and found himself in a magnificent city.
…
Across the super-time and space transmission channel is Yang Zhe’s home court.
Military leaders all have their home grounds, which are their territory and own land.
In the past, Shenglin used the Shenglin Ashes District as its home ground.
As a twelfth-level military leader, Yang Zhe's home ground is even more vast and boundless, it is an entire hidden giant plane!
Of course, there is no need to consider how big this giant plane is or how many planets with life there are.
Because the military lord's core forces, essence treasures and the like must be gathered together.
Many of the military lord's skills have the concept of influence range. The influence ranges of different treasures and skills overlap and interact with each other to achieve the effect of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.
And the "essence" of Yang Zhe is in this ancient city called Lanyang.
Lanyang City is also the capital of the Yangzhe Empire.
But Lanyang City, which should have been prosperous, was now in chaos.
Because the backbone is dead.
The military leader is the core of the military leader's power.
With the death of the military leader, the blessing to the forces under his command will disappear instantly.
Therefore, as early as the second Yang Zhe took his last breath, the forces affiliated with Yang Zhe had already received the news of his death.
So the gathered forces instantly turned into a group of loose sand.
There are no level 12 strong men among Yang Zhe's subordinates, but his level 11 subordinates are quite serious.
Among them are some level 11 Lords of Hosts...
Now that the boss who was oppressing them was gone, who wouldn't want to inherit Yang Zhe's family business and become the king?
In addition, Yang Zhe had thirty-nine sons and sixty-two daughters in his lifetime.
Now that the emperor is dead, it is not surprising that the brothers are fighting for the throne.
Moreover, before that, Xia Lin also burned down Yang Zhe's office and bedroom in the dark.
Some of the things here symbolize the people of this plane and certain celestial props.
—Fire fell from the sky, and the enemy army entered the city. The strong men fought each other, burning, killing, and looting.
This is what is happening in Lanyang City right now.
Xia Lin didn't care about the sorrows of these troubled times, but was still thinking about this question.
——What can he get from Yang Zhe’s body?
…
Gold symbolizes Yang Zhe's strength.
But strength is just a general term, which includes both one's own strength: that is, skill attributes, etc., and external strength: props and subordinates, etc.
And now, since he is in the dark, Xia Lin has already obtained Yang Zhe's reserve gold, and the quantity is quite large.
This may mean that Xia Lin in reality can benefit from Yang Zhe's body.
But to be fair, Xia Lin had been thinking about it all the time but still couldn't figure out what he could get out of Yang Zhe...
There was definitely something to be gained—Yang Zhe must have a few six-pillar items, right? Now that the Heavenly Dao Equation had returned, Xia Lin could use it to refine the power of the six pillars.
So what else?
It seems to be gone...
Xia Lin didn't care about skills - Yang Zhe's body was in the hands of the Immortal Emperor, which Xia Lin couldn't get, and Yang Zhe's subordinates were just a bunch of level eleven, and it was difficult for them to possess the super skills that Xia Lin wanted.
The rest were nothing more than some reserve items, reserve fairy jade, heavenly source essence and the like, but Xia Lin estimated that the bulk of these were probably in Yang Zhe's own personal space, and he was destined not to be able to get them.
"So no matter how you calculate it, this benefit isn't that great. At least it can't compare to the 35 million gold in the dark world."
3500w gold is also a huge fortune in the hands of the dark boss Yang Zhe!
Since Xia Lin was able to get it, it may prove that if he goes through it in reality, Xia Lin can also gain huge benefits.
This reappearance of the phenomenon that did not correspond to the dark side of reality made Xia Lin think a lot.
Out of faith in the Old Ones' ability to descend, Xia Lin wanted to find the problem in his own thinking logic, but he still couldn't find it...
He didn't feel like he was neglecting anything.
"Forget it... Since you think there's something wrong here, why not just pack up the entire plane and take it away?"
Muttering this, Xia Lin gave up thinking and decided to use his super strength.
He stood up, opened his arms and made a gesture to embrace the world.
The next second, the core of the unity realm emerged from Xia Lin's body and stuck to Xia Lin's forehead again!
Skill, material mimicry, activated!
Long before this, Xia Lin had already completed the integration of the county magistrate through material mimicry.
The Black Source Martial God form that had not been seen for a long time was activated again.
Then, the light of the Heavenly Dao Equation skill flashed.
The black energy field, with Xia Lin as its center, spread outward crazily, swallowing up everything!
…
The unified core itself is the core center of the world outside the world.
As Xia Lin activated the material mimicry and merged it into the unified core, it was naturally equivalent to incorporating the entire outside world into his body.
The world is me, and I am the world!
This is similar to a warrior's inner world system - opening up acupoints in one's body and cultivating the inner world to unleash powerful strength.
Of course, Xia Lin's set is much simpler and weaker than the Super Star Martial Arts.
But in the current situation, none of this matters.
Without Yang Zhe, this plane is like a piece of cake without an owner, and Xia Lin can do whatever he wants with it - no one would think that a group of level elevens without their masters can cause any trouble to Xia Lin, right?
And when the universal auxiliary skill: Heaven's Equation shines.
The ending of this plane is actually doomed.
——Xia Lin activated the Heavenly Dao Equation, piecing together skills with skill atoms, strengthening the outer realm that merged with himself, and endowing it with the ability to devour!
What he is doing now is to use this plane as nourishment to strengthen his own world outside the realm!
—Don't you think there's a secret to be uncovered here, but you're clueless? Well, why don't I just move this place out altogether and be done with it?
No matter what it is, it’s all mine.
Under the attention of everyone in Lanyang City, a black sun suddenly rose from the sky above Lanyang City.
The black sun radiated with icy power, and the black radiation instantly dissipated, instantly covering the entire Lan Yang City and spreading rapidly into the distance!
And when the black light covered it, the entire Lanyang City had essentially been incorporated into the world outside the boundary by Xia Lin - including its population, natural resources, and all the treasures and secrets in the city.
Of course, most people find it difficult to understand their current situation.
They only knew that Yang Zhe was dead, but they didn't know what the black sun was, let alone what the radiation spread by the black sun meant to them.
But this does not include Yang Zhe’s eldest son, Yang Changyu.
As an eleventh-level military leader and the son that Yang Zhe values most, Yang Changyu himself has considerable strength, but his greatest advantage over his brothers lies in the relationship between Yang Changyu and the national teacher.
He is the nephew of the imperial teacher and his only direct disciple.
When Xia Lin took action, Yang Changyu had just met with the National Master and was about to ascend the throne temporarily, but was suddenly swept by the light from the world outside the boundary.
This scene caused Yang Changyu and the Imperial Master to pause their conversation, and they both turned their heads to look out the window.
After a long time, the two looked at each other.
Yang Changyu smiled bitterly and took the initiative to speak.
"It seems that I will never be able to become the emperor in this lifetime..."
He said this and turned around and bowed.
"But in order to preserve the bloodline of my Yang family, I would like to ask my uncle to lend me a helping hand one last time!"
Yang Zhe's national teacher is also an eleventh-level strongman with considerable strength.
At this moment, he also sensed the strength displayed by Xia Lin, which was far stronger than his own.
Hearing Yang Changyu's words, the Imperial Master frowned and counted with his fingers.
After a moment, the Imperial Master's brows relaxed.
"The way out has been revealed. This person has a connection to the great secret. By offering that item, the bloodline of the Yang family can be kept safe."
Without saying a word, Yang Changyu turned into a dragon and rushed towards Xia Lin.
…
Xia Lin, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly frowned.
Because of the matter of swallowing the plane, things were not going smoothly.
The entire plane is dominated by Yang Zhe. Now that Yang Zhe is dead, theoretically Xia Lin will not encounter any resistance when swallowing this plane.
But from the perspective of actual efficiency, this plane seems to have some special rules.
It is this special rule that reduces Xia Lin's swallowing efficiency by more than half.
Of course, this is not a big problem.
Even if it is reduced by half, it is still unstoppable.
The spreading black light is swallowing up everything, and any small obstruction is destined to have no impact on the final outcome.
However, the secret contained in it aroused Xia Lin's interest.
He was extremely sensitive to the harvest, and with the dark symbols as a reference, all the abnormalities happening here were worthy of Xia Lin's in-depth investigation.
However, there was no need for Xia Lin to take any action, as someone took the initiative to present this secret to Xia Lin.
There was a dragon roar in Lan Yang City. Xia Lin looked sideways and saw a golden dragon flying in the sky. It slowly slowed down until it approached his alert range. Finally, it flashed with golden light and turned into a handsome man in brocade robe, standing not far from him.
"Greetings, sir."
Yang Changyu saluted solemnly and did not dare to be negligent.
Xia Lin raised his eyebrows: "Who are you?"
"I am Yang Changyu, son of Yang Zhe. I think you are..."
Yang Changyu didn't say anything further, but just sighed softly, secretly blaming himself for his careless words.
Xia Lin heard what Yang Changyu had not yet said.
"Your father didn't die at my hands, but I did have an indirect connection with his death. So, are you coming to see me to avenge Yang Zhe?"
Kill my father and here comes my son.
So, the idea of eradicating the problem at its roots does have a factual basis.
But Xia Lin was not in a hurry to take action.
At present, the entire Lanyang City, and even the entire planet, has been included in the world outside the boundary.
Xia Lin scanned the entire planet and confirmed that there was no combat power that could threaten him.
It can also be clearly seen that Yang Changyu did not have much murderous intention towards him, so when he spoke, he was mostly joking.
As expected, Yang Changyu just smiled bitterly and got straight to the point.
"I am willing to offer you a precious treasure in exchange for the continuation of my Yang family's bloodline."
These words made Xia Lin feel itchy.
He licked the corner of his mouth lightly and said with a smile.
"That depends on what you come up with..."
There is no need to completely eradicate the problem.
I've taken away your skills, destroyed your attributes and racial values, so what's the harm in just sparing your Yang family members' lives?
Even if I, Xia Lin, guarantee that you will be rich for life, this is nothing...
The prerequisite is that they can really come up with something that will make Xia Lin excited.
"Please follow me, sir."
Xia Lin stood up and followed Yang Changyu, who had transformed into a golden dragon again, to the imperial palace located in the core of Lanyang City.
…
Yang Zhe's palace is majestic and luxurious, with S-level to deep-level architectural/decorative props scattered throughout.
This one adds a few points to the command value, and that one adds a few points to the attributes of the troops under your command.
The chaotic superposition of all these things creates the military lord's style and strength.
It’s a pity that these are of no use to Xia Lin, and due to Xia Lin’s operations in the dark, most of these things are also damaged.
Walking all the way to the depths of the palace, Xia Lin saw a dry well.
When Xia Lin first saw this thing, he was stunned.
Because he actually smelled a strong breath of immortal power from the dry well.
"It seems that you, sir, also have some knowledge of the immortal way."
The one who spoke was the imperial teacher who had arrived earlier and was standing by the dry well.
The Imperial Master bowed to Xia Lin and said softly, "I am Meng Hao, your humble servant, honored to meet you, sir."
Xia Lin nodded and said nothing else, just staring at the dry well with a gloomy look.
It wasn't until he saw the dry well that Xia Lin realized what the resistance he had just encountered was...
"Heaven's Way."
Xia Lin said so.
Yes, what slowed down Xia Lin's swallowing speed was a force similar to the way of heaven!
Of course, the name "Tian Dao" is a name used exclusively by the immortal side.
This power can also be called the world will, the cosmic will...
In short, it’s just a different name, and it probably refers to the same kind of thing.
At this moment, Xia Lin suddenly missed Scarlett a little.
If Scarlett, the celestial being, were here, she would probably be able to speak up in advance and clear up Xia Lin's confusion.
As his thoughts were flowing, Meng Hao suddenly interrupted.
“It’s man-made heaven.”
Xia Lin raised his eyebrows and looked Meng Hao up and down.
Meng Hao, level 11, a professional on the immortal side, in the celestial immortal realm.
Her strength level is probably similar to Scarlett's.
This level of skill doesn't have the ability to create the way of heaven.
The profession of the Lord of Hosts is more in line with the way of God. There are very few Lords of Hosts who also cultivate the way of Immortality...
At this point, Xia Lin suddenly realized something.
He took a few steps forward and approached the dry well, and Meng Hao's voice rang in his ears.
"This isn't the work of a villain or the late emperor. It's a test sample left here by the Seventh Prince."
In fact, Xia Lin had already recovered.
If you say that there is no Lord of Hosts who also practices the way of immortality... that is not absolute.
Because there is precedent for this.
——The profession created by the God of Heaven, the Creator of Heaven, is a precedent.
From the intelligence channels of the Sanxiang Gang, Xia Lin also knew that Wang Laoqi Wang Yanqing seemed to have embarked on the path of integrating the immortal path with the military leader.
Considering that Yang Zhe is Wang Yanqing's man.
Therefore, it makes sense that this thing appeared here.
Before Xia Lin could ask again, Yang Changyu and Meng Hao had already walked into the dry well.
The voice rang faintly in Xia Lin's ears.
"Please follow me deeper."
Xia Lin didn't hesitate much, took another step and followed closely.
…
The dry well is deep and leads directly to the core of the earth.
And it is obvious that space technology with the same origin as the essence of super time and space has been applied in it, creating it into a dimensional space attached to this planet.
In the deep downward passage, Xia Lin quickly caught up with Yang Changyu and Meng Hao, and was not afraid of the two setting traps.
As he walked, Xia Lin listened to Meng Hao speak slowly.
"Several years ago, the Seventh Prince personally built this place, and I am the executor of this plan and the maintainer of this place."
Because of the different speeds of time flow, Xia Lin didn't compare the years Meng Hao mentioned to see how long it was for him. It was meaningless.
Meng Hao continued, "It is precisely because of this that I feel the secrets of this place may be useful to you, my Lord... At least you may be able to find the Seventh Prince's weakness in this plan."
He seemed to see the hostility between Xia Lin and Wang Laoqi - of course, this was not difficult to guess.
After all, Yang Zhe is Wang Laoqi's dog, so when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner, right?
Xia Lin nodded in agreement.
The so-called man-made heavenly way really seemed to have no meaning to Xia Lin.
The reason why I was curious about this was mostly due to the inspiration I got from the dark side symbols. A small part of me felt that there might be Wang Laoqi's secret in it, just as Meng Hao said.
Wang Laoqi is pure and innocent, showing little hostility towards Xia Lin. He can also explain Yang Zhe's pursuit as a personal vendetta. However, Wang Laoqi is probably also unaware of the effect of the advent of the Old Ones, unaware that Xia Lin has already seen through everything through clues in the dark and regards him as a thorn in his side.
Considering that they will become hostile sooner or later, it would be beneficial for Xia Lin to know the secret of Wang Laoqi in advance.
Meng Hao saw Xia Lin's expression, exchanged glances with Yang Changyu, and felt relieved.
They definitely made the right bet...
The secrets here are enough for Xia Lin to spare their lives - after all, their lives are not really expensive.
Meng Hao, knowing that his way out was revealed, became more talkative and willingly revealed more information.
"As a subordinate of the late emperor... no, Yang Zhe, I have a certain understanding of the ways of the military leader. And because I am a cultivator myself, I also have a certain understanding of the Way of Heaven."
"More than a decade ago, the Seventh Prince had already transitioned to become the Heavenly Soldier Divine Lord. The Heavenly Soldier Divine Lord is a fusion of the Immortal Cultivator and the Lord of All Armies. Having undergone transformations by two Six Pillars, he can, in theory, be considered a superior replacement for both the Immortal Cultivator and the Lord of All Armies."
The two six pillars refer to the Creator of Heaven and the King of Kings.
The profession of Heavenly Soldiers and Gods was created by the Creator of Heaven.
Later, this profession fell into the hands of the King of Kings, and was integrated with Lao Wang's understanding of the military leader, becoming even stronger.
Xia Lin remained silent, listening as Meng Hao continued, "The way of a military leader is to be kingly and domineering. But in essence, it's all about control."
All under heaven belongs to the king, and all within the four seas are the king's subjects.
Controlling everything is the purpose and essence of the military leader's profession!
Just as Meng Hao finished saying this, the three of them had already stood on the ground, and what appeared before Xia Lin was a giant gas dragon curled up into a ball!
This is what Meng Hao called the man-made way of heaven!
Xia Lin could only roughly sense that this thing was a mixture of dragon energy and immortal power, but he could not see more.
His understanding of immortal power and dragon energy is really quite superficial.
Meng Hao continued, "The essence of the immortal way is to comprehend the way of heaven, become the way of heaven, and ultimately transcend the way of heaven."
The immortal cultivator ascends to heaven.
Transcendence seems to be what they pursue.
"But, what exactly does it mean to be detached? And how detached can you be?"
Meng Hao gave a bitter laugh and uttered some disobedient words, but Xia Lin nodded in agreement: "Even the Creator of Heaven cannot transcend it. The very purpose of the profession of Immortal Cultivator has nothing to do with transcendence."
Meng Hao: "So, the purpose of the profession of immortal cultivator is not to be detached, but to be omniscient and almighty."
Xia Lin nodded: "This is more in line with reality."
The Way of Heaven has been synonymous with fate, destiny, and omniscience and omnipotence throughout the ages.
Although the Way of Heaven cannot be put on the table in the worldview of the known universe, cultivators still take it as their goal. This is because even if the Way of Heaven cannot be put on the table, the omniscience and omnipotence it represents can be put on the table.
Of course, because the six pillars are in balance with each other, even the Creator of Heaven cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, but there is no problem in taking this as a goal and a career intention.
Who doesn’t have a wish?
There was no need for Meng Hao to say anything else, Xia Lin had already spoken thoughtfully.
"So, in essence, the Lord of All Armies and the Immortal Cultivators have commonalities and complementarities."
The military leader wants to control, and the cultivator wants to be omniscient and omnipotent.
The more you can control, the closer you are to omniscience and omnipotence. Once you are truly omniscient and omnipotent, you will naturally control everything.
And this is actually the intention of the Lord of Heavenly Soldiers.
Seeing that Xia Lin easily understood the logic, Meng Hao nodded and stretched out his hand, pointing to the man-made sky in front.
"The Seventh Prince is a top-level military leader at level twelve, and he has a deep understanding of the ways of military leaders."
This is inevitable.
"But after changing his profession, the Seventh Prince discovered that if he wanted to improve on his Heavenly Soldiers Divine Lord profession, he would need to work on his omniscience and omnipotence, which was his weak point."
He was originally a military leader, but he wanted to become an immortal later in life, so he must put in more effort.
"So, the Seventh Prince has created artificial Heavenly Daos in the main worlds of many of his subordinate military lords. This can be considered a regional experiment."
In an environment without interference from the Six Pillars, the Way of Heaven can actually achieve partial omniscience and omnipotence.
The main world of the military lord can, to a certain extent, meet the prerequisite of "no interference from the six pillars".
Having said this, Meng Hao sighed slightly.
"Actually, there's no other way..."
"The Seventh Prince said during the banquet that this plan to create the Heavenly Dao will most likely fail."
"This method can only be used in a limited area. If it is placed in the main universe and compared with the Heavenly Dao Equation of the Heavenly Dao Creator, it is a pure joke."
Xia Lin raised his brows at the familiar term: "Heaven's Equation?"
Meng Hao nodded and said, "Yes, the core skill of the Heavenly Dao Creator, the Heavenly Dao Equation."
He didn't know that Xia Lin also had the Heavenly Dao Equation, and just said it with emotion.
"No matter what, the Creator of Heaven is the ancestor of us cultivators."
"And the Heavenly Dao Equation of the Heavenly Dao Creator is the source of this profession. It can be said to be the foundation of the immortal way and the mother of the heavenly way."
"In fact, in my opinion, this skill is the most representative of omniscience and omnipotence in the known universe... Analyzing all things, transforming one method into all methods."
"This so-called artificial Heavenly Dao project is essentially just a poor imitation of the Heavenly Dao equation..."
As soon as he uttered this, Meng Hao's face twitched and he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Is it okay to belittle your own lifeline?
He turned his head to look at Xia Lin, only to find that Xia Lin was frowning and fell into silence.
No, not silence.
But think...
After a long time, Xia Lin suddenly looked up, but instead of looking at the man-made Heavenly Dao, he looked at Meng Hao.
"Do you have a deep understanding of the Heavenly Dao Equation?"
Meng Hao didn't know why Xia Lin said that.
He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not like I understand at all... All I know is some common sense and speculation within our circle."
Although Meng Hao and Scarlett are both celestial beings, Scarlett is a latecomer and her cultivation is gained by possessing other people's bodies. She has no master and no circle, and is very isolated from the news.
On the contrary, Meng Hao not only has the inheritance of the master, but also has the boss Yang Zhe and the boss's boss Wang Laoqi. He undoubtedly knows more than Scarlett.
Xia Lin sat down on the ground, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Meng Hao with burning eyes.
"If you know what I mean, tell me more... Let's talk about equations today!"
Somehow, Xia Lin realized this.
What the dark symbol reveals is probably not this man-made heaven, or anything in Yang Zhezhu's world.
The dark revelation was probably pointing to the Heavenly Dao Equation, a core skill of the Six Pillars that Xia Lin already possessed but could only use superficially!
