Chapter 376 Things Have Changed
"Ten, sixteen?"
Liang Shixian was stunned when he heard this.
He traveled through time twenty years ago, but Liang Shijing was only sixteen years old. Moreover, according to Liang Yong, Liang Shijing's birth was partly because of their attempt to find Liang Shixian.
In other words, even if Liang Shixian went back to the past, he would not necessarily have a sister like Liang Shijing.
Because when they came, Ji Ruo had told him that when they were done, they would go back to a "nearby" time point. Ji Ruo was not sure about the exact time, but the error would definitely not exceed one month.
Liang Shixian opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
If he went back 20 years, he might have lost his sister Liang Shijing. Although his relationship with his sister is not very good now, Liang Shixian is still very happy to have a sister.
If we go back to sixteen years ago...his parents had already been frantically searching for him for four years.
Both sides were in debt. Liang Shixian didn't understand time travel and was at a loss for a moment.
"Let's find Ji Ruo first, and then we'll talk about it after we find him... He should be able to find a way... Xiao Jing, is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy it for you..."
Liang Shijing looked at Liang Shixian who was at a loss. Although he didn't know why Liang Shixian suddenly became like this, his heart inexplicably softened.
But she didn't want to eat anything, after all, she had just eaten.
"You don't need to worry about it. You should think about how to find someone first. Didn't you say you came here for a mission?"
Liang Shixian smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy. Before at our house, Ji Ruo must have been angry. Now I have no idea where to find him..."
"What about that child? Any clues?"
"Well... if Ji Ruo hadn't thrown the shoe, I wouldn't know where to find it..."
"Throw, shoes?" Liang Shijing tilted his head in confusion.
“I want to eat!”
At this moment, a slightly childish voice coming from the front attracted the attention of the brother and sister.
The brother and sister looked up subconsciously.
I saw a sunny and handsome boy walking towards me with a little boy who looked only five or six years old.
Liang Shixian inexplicably felt that the little boy looked familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen him.
Come to think of it, it might be that he was the child who looked similar to him that he had seen inside the body of the Giant of Light when the 300 million people merged together.
As for that sunny boy... well, although he is sunny and handsome, he doesn't seem to have any special features.
If I have to say something, it's that he dresses neatly and has an inexplicable sense of approachability.
Other than that, there are no other features.
These two items don’t seem to be any special features.
"Come on, where can you buy it now?" The older boy smiled helplessly: "Why don't you eat something else?"
"No, I want to eat it!" The little boy started to complain: "Didn't you say you were so great? How come you can't even make one!"
"Well... well, there's really nothing I can do about you. Wait, I'll make a phone call."
When passing by the brother and sister, the older boy smiled gently at them with an apologetic look on his face.
Then he walked into a telephone booth behind the two of them.
"Hello? If..."
Liang Shixian only heard a few words, then turned around and continued walking forward with his sister.
"Where should I go to find Ji Ruo?"
Liang Shixian muttered softly.
Hearing this, the little boy looked up at Liang Shixian in surprise, but he didn't say anything.
The two teams passed each other.
…………
Unlike the God Worshipping Religion, the Hehuan Religion has quite rich daily activities, and according to Ji Xiaoxiao's description, the funds within the Hehuan Religion are also much more abundant than those of the God Worshipping Religion.
Because not only do they ask for too much, but they also charge, claiming to pay hundreds of dollars for love.
The resources for practice are all obtained through foraging, and the fees collected are used to improve their lives.
The martial arts they practiced was a sinister martial art called "Yin Yang Harmony Ceremony".
It is said that the founder of the sect gained this insight from an ancient book unearthed from some ruins in his early years.
The main function of this exercise is to replenish the body, and it can be used with either raw or cold food.
Those who receive the supplements will suffer both loss of essence and blood, and will easily become dependent on the supplementers. Many families have been broken up because of this sect.
And because of the special "dependency", those who are supplemented will be very pathological to help the Hehuan Cult to hide their whereabouts, so the difficulty of punishing this sect is no less than that of the God Worship Cult.
Ji Xiaoxiao's various descriptions gave Ji Ruo a general understanding of the Hehuan Sect.
Ji Ruo didn't really want to see how the members of the Hehuan Sect "practiced", this was only secondary.
The most important thing is to fight crime, ahem…
However, they ultimately failed to find anyone from the Hehuan Sect.
Ji Xiaoxiao and Ji Ruo, dressed in mechas, squatted on the side of the road. Ji Xiaoxiao scratched his hair in distress: "What's going on? I've been watching them for a long time, how come they suddenly disappeared!"
"Eh? News push? The Worshipping Cult has been arrested and paraded through the streets by the law enforcement officers... Shit! We've made a big fuss, and those guys have escaped early!"
Ji said with a little regret.
Ji Ruo suddenly thought, "How about throwing away your shoes?"
"No, you don't know how capable the people in this sect are. They have already made a lot of tricks to break the whole into parts. In this case, they may even temporarily withdraw from the Hehuan Sect. Asking for directions is useless!"
"So flexible?" Ji Ruo was surprised: "What about searching directly by name?"
"Name?" Ji Xiaoxiao looked strange.
"You've been following them for so long, you don't know their names, do you?"
"I know, but... Ah Hong, Ah Fen, Ah Zhen, these are the only ones I know. Just throw your shoes."
Ji Xiaoxiao said unhappily: "Who would give their real name when doing something like this?"
“…It seems so.”
Ji Ruo felt a little regretful.
Unfortunately, missed it.
But it wasn't like he had nothing to gain.
At the very least, because of Ji Xiaoxiao's reminder, he had a clearer understanding of his current strength.
If nothing unexpected happens, his martial arts training has gone astray...
Ahem, of course, this is only relative to normal circumstances.
With the inherent talent of "more is better, bigger is stronger", Ji Ruo's talent for cultivation has been maxed out.
There are almost no bottlenecks in his martial arts practice. No matter what realm he is in, he can directly practice to the theoretical limit.
The Xingxuan in his body has reached the theoretical limit of this realm because of the last battle on Mother Earth Continent and the large supply of magic cores provided by the 'Killing Domain'.
There are a total of thirty-six star wheels. Except for three special star wheels, the remaining thirty-three are all solid star wheels with a diameter of 365 meters, and their true essence storage capacity is as vast as the sea of smoke.
Not only that, the thirty-three star spirals also each generated a layer of star spiral light film - at least from the visual effect, it is a light film.
However, judging from its nature, it would be more appropriate to call it a barrier or fortress.
Because its protective ability is ridiculously strong.
The walls were stacked one on top of the other, and each layer was dotted with endless stars, like a brilliant nebula.
And those starlights are all ultra-small star spirals.
All the acupoints in Ji Ruo's body were opened up and turned into star acupoints!
The thirty-three layers of nebula walls allowed Ji Ruo's body to overlap layer by layer, forming a complete and huge star map. It was a vast star map that exceeded the Daxia people's fantasy of martial arts.
Ji Ruo's qualities in all aspects have also been improved to an extremely outrageous level.
First of all, defense... His Vajra Indestructible Divine Art is still at the first level of Vajra Qi training, but now, the defense added by the thirty-three layers of Nebula Wall has exceeded the upper limit of Vajra Qi training.
Even the second level of diamond body training would not necessarily be stronger than Ji Ruo's current pure physical defense.
Of course, this was mainly because Ji Ruo had not yet reached the second level.
He is not like Liang Shixian, who has a special way of practicing the Vajra Indestructible Power.
But it is quite troublesome to paint the whole body with gold paint.
So Ji Ruo didn't take it very seriously.
As for strength, needless to say, even Ji Ruo didn't know how strong he was now.
This is also one of the reasons why we were able to rely on the shadow clone to clear the field in one move.
Although Ji Ruo is still in the Xingxuan realm, he can no longer be judged by common sense.
He raised his hand and gently squeezed his arm, as if he was deep in thought.
"I feel like it's not appropriate to continue calling her Xing Xuan."
"What are you going to call it?"
Ji Ruo thought about it.
Thirty-three layers of nebula walls are stacked one on top of another. Three special star circles are aloof from the world. Each of them performs its own function and automatically operates under the guidance of the star circle Tai Chi. From a macroscopic perspective, you may not be able to see anything, but from a microscopic perspective, those layers of nebula walls are like a complete universe of stars, so...
"Wait until I change the style."
As Ji Ruo spoke, he began to adjust the position of Xing Xuan in his body.
A moment later——
All the stars are constantly releasing "starlight", tempering and nourishing Ji Ruo's body.
Meridians, blood, bones, and dirty things...
From a microscopic perspective, it looks like a vast blood-red mountain and river, enveloped by thirty-three layers of nebula walls.
Thirty-three main stars are placed in various places.
Xingxuan Tai Chi seemed to have become a background board, encompassing everything and controlling the overall situation.
Xingxuan Cave Heaven is located at the highest point, and the statue of the God of the Stove sits high on the "clouds", overlooking "all living beings".
Ji Ruo wiped the sweat from his forehead due to pain and let out a long sigh.
"As expected, after adjusting the 'position', the strength has increased a lot... As for the name, let's call it the Star Realm."
There are 'Thirty-three Heavens' in the starry sky.
Beneath the heavens lies the mortal world of flesh and blood.
Above the heavens, the throne of God hangs high in the sky.
It's like a complete little world.
It is still the kind in myths and legends. Judging from its current strength, it is evident.
Ji Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said nothing.
Ji Ruo glanced at Ji Xiaoxiao.
He already knew why Ji Xiaoxiao was so weak.
The theoretical limit state of Xingxuan Realm makes Ji feel as if the inside and outside are one, perfect and complete, without any omissions.
As for Ji Xiaoxiao, theoretically, she is a part of Ji Ruo's power. If her birth had not been related to 'Fantasy Creation·Death Care', she would have been recycled and refined by Ji Ruo's 'Thirty-three Heavens' long ago.
But even so, Ji Xiaoxiao could no longer reach the same realm as Ji Ruo. He could no longer continue to gain strength from Ji Ruo. Even if Ji Ruo generated new obsessions, they would be refined by Xingxuan Tai Chi and Xingxuan Dongtian into Ji Ruo's own strength.
There is no feedback at all to Ji Xiaoxiao.
It was already very difficult for Ji Xiaoxiao to still maintain the strength she had when she first entered the Xingxuan Realm.
Ji Ruo coughed and said, "Well, what..."
"What?" Ji Xiaoxiao glared and said, "I'm warning you, if you dare to laugh at me, I will fight you!"
"Why should I laugh at you? It's hard for you that you haven't made any progress in twenty years." As Ji Ruo spoke, the star realm in his body started to operate and his true energy began to flow back.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked up in surprise.
His power was rising crazily. Popping sounds kept coming out from the cockpit on the chest of his mecha, and star clusters were being opened up quickly.
Although it is not a physical Star Swirl, and although it is still insignificant compared to Ji Ruo, it has already surpassed the general Star Swirl realm.
"My old man, you..."
"What do you mean by old guy?" Ji Ruo said unhappily, "You are older than me now. I am not even 20 years old. You are the old guy."
“…”
Ji Xiaoxiao was silent for a while.
After a moment, he volunteered to talk about some of the things that happened in this future:
"In fact, I still have some strength left in the early years. With the help of the system teacher, elders and friends, the incense god, the god of faith, the fantasy creature, the immortal zombies, the ghosts with unlimited energy... the Daxia of today is no longer the Daxia of the past.
I copied some powerful items from my memory through the title of [Great Inventor], helped Shangxuanyuan improve its cultivation system, and implemented a spirit-making permit system to help Daxia realize true soaring. I pulled the demons and monsters together to fight against them. Those who remained neutral were driven back to the secret realm. Those who could not unite were destroyed by Brother Xingjie in coordination with hot weapons...
Daxia established friendly diplomatic relations with various secret realms and started trade.
I thought this was a good thing, but the result was that without the pressure of foreign enemies, various sects began to appear in Daxia, and they did a lot of bad things...
I felt like I was doing something wrong, but I didn’t know what was right, so I quit, and then my strength faded, and I started to retire…”
Ji Ruo listened quietly.
"Also, something happened at Uncle Gu's house..."
Ji Ruo looked strange: "She gave birth too?"
"No, he's married."
As soon as Ji Ruo’s face turned dark, I knew it.
"Who else got married?"
"Xu Dong and the others...many people in the Spicy Spicy Group have started families, and those who haven't started families have found someone they like. Well, only you and the squad leader are left, after all, you two are not here."
"Gu Shaoxuan has been wandering around various construction sites over the years. He is the most exemplary ghost. He also split his soul into a body and refined his own body into a headless drought demon. He leads a large number of zombies and takes the lead in exploring secret realms for Daxia..."
"Uncle Chen Mo often comes to me to complain, but I envy him..."
"Dabao and Erbao have also come to Daxia. They are the Wind God Falcons, and possess the speed of heaven and earth. Now they have partnered with the monsters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and opened a logistics company in Daxia..."
"Master Tongtian Jianmu..."
Ji Xiaoxiao talked on and on.
They actually have more efficient means of communication. After all, they are theoretically the same person and can just think about what they want to say in their minds.
But the two of them had a tacit understanding and neither of them chose that method, but instead used this inefficient way to communicate.
"Daxia has changed so much." Ji Xiaoxiao showed a bewildered look in her eyes: "The lights of thousands of houses are bright and dazzling, swords are flying and cars are running continuously, everyone has adapted to the current life, but I can't find a cart to sell... Maybe this is a good thing, it means that everyone's living standards have improved...
I just don’t know why, but it seems that everyone is still not very happy, everyone is in a hurry, and few people care about the scenery along the way..."
Ji Ruo thought for a moment, then suddenly pointed to a cart across the street that looked like it was selling popcorn, and said, "Wait a minute, isn't that a cart?"
"...Can you wait until I finish expressing my feelings before you interrupt me?"
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
Ji Xiaoxiao said unhappily, "Go on!"
After a pause, Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Would you like some popcorn? I'll treat you."
