Chapter 858 Xuan Huang Dharma Image
"He is indeed alive..."
When Li Hao drove the Xuanjizi to this far western land, he saw the huge statue on Tianxuan Island at a glance.
The entire city is built around that statue, and the order of the island is also supported by that statue.
It is under the protection of that huge statue that Tianxuan Island is able to maintain normal order in this abnormal world.
"That is... His Majesty the Emperor?"
The head that had transformed into the rudder had its eyes wide open.
For the first time, shock was revealed in Xuanjizi's voice.
He is thousands of feet tall, his body is dark yellow, his hair is burning like flames, and he is holding a long sword.
This is clearly the image of the Emperor who founded the Qin Empire in the Xuanjizi database.
However, according to the records in the database, His Majesty the Emperor had been seriously ill ten thousand years ago and had not appeared in public since.
When the catastrophe struck and the empire fell apart, His Majesty the Emperor still did not show up.
Many people firmly believe that His Majesty the Emperor has actually died long ago.
However, in order to maintain the stability of the empire, the top leaders of the empire at that time chose to keep the news secret, which indirectly led to a series of disasters afterwards.
“That is the Dharma image, but it is not the pure Dharma image.”
A ray of dark yellow color flashed in his pupils, and Li Hao once again used the divine power of the [Xuanhuang Immortal True Body].
Then, Li Hao discovered an incredible truth.
That huge statue is not a pure Dharma body.
Its interior is actually filled with various mechanical structures.
It is those mechanical structures that support the statue and prevent it from disappearing after the death of the original body.
"The civilization of this world... actually transformed the Dharmakaya into a mecha?"
Although this statement sounds incredible, it can perfectly explain what Li Hao is observing now.
The body of this mechanical Dharmadhatu is made of the Xuanhuang Qi and possesses the attribute of immortality.
Not only that, in order to retain the power of the Dharmakāya to the maximum extent.
The original reformer even imitated the structure of the human body and constructed a complete system of meridians, acupoints and qi channels inside the Dharma image.
Although the meridians and acupoints inside the Dharma image are all mechanical structures.
But the materials they use are undoubtedly the world's top synthetic Qi-refining materials, which can perfectly simulate the effects of normal meridian acupoints.
From this point of view alone, the transformation of this mechanical statue absolutely requires the cooperation of the original owner.
After all, only by maintaining the state of the Dharmakaya for a long time can engineers build a complete Yuanqi cycle inside the Dharmakaya.
"Even if you die, you still want to leave a trump card for the empire?"
In a trance, Li Hao seemed to see a seriously injured and dying old man.
At the last moment of his life, the old man forced himself to manifest his Dharma body and allowed a group of engineers to transform it.
Considering the power of Xuanhuang Dharmakā, it was not difficult for Li Hao to imagine the pain that the old man was enduring at that time.
"Cut into pieces" and "lingchi" are no longer enough to describe the pain the old man endured.
With his seriously ill body and inhuman transformation, Li Hao simply couldn't imagine what kind of perseverance the other party had to persevere to the end.

Tianxuan Island, near the Emperor Statue.
Huge energy pipes are connected to the statue of the emperor to supply the normal operation of the entire city.
It is precisely because of these energy networks that spread across the entire island that disasters and changes in the outside world cannot affect here, barely preserving the last spark of civilization of the empire.
"How's the situation here?"
When Qin II came near the statue.
The engineers who are stationed here all year round are busy repairing various pipelines and lines.
"The situation is not good. We can no longer increase the extraction of 'Xuan Huang Qi'."
An engineer with gray hair and an old face quickly came in front of Qin II and sighed.
"If we continue to forcibly extract the 'Xuanhuang Qi' from the Dharmakāya's body, the normal ecology of the entire island will collapse."
This old engineer was once a scientist who had achieved the highest achievements in the empire, but because of his eccentric personality he was exiled to the edge of the empire.
After the catastrophe, it was under the guidance of this engineer that Qin II found the statue built by the emperor himself and established the current utopia.
However, no matter how mysterious the Xuanhuang Dharma is, and no matter how endless the Xuanhuang Qi is, it has its limits.
It is necessary to maintain the ecology of the entire Tianxuan Island and ensure the normal operation of the entire city, which obviously has exceeded the limits of this Dharma image.
Because this statue was not created to maintain the ecology from the beginning.
This is a battle statue, a powerful weapon created by His Majesty the Emperor to fight against those foreign visitors.
It’s a pity that His Majesty the Emperor underestimated the people’s hearts after all.
His foresight not only failed to prevent those foreign visitors from destroying the world, but instead accelerated the destruction of the empire.
"How is the research progress of new energy sources?"
Still keeping calm, Qin II continued to ask.
If we can research a new source of energy and no longer have to draw the mysterious and yellow energy from the Dharmakaya, the ecology of the entire island will naturally stop deteriorating.
However, the difficulty of researching new energy in a dilapidated world is much higher than he imagined.
"No, we have tried solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, hydropower, Yuanqi, etc. We have tried almost every energy system we can think of, but none of them work."
Shaking his head slightly, the engineer seemed a little discouraged.
"The only thing that is feasible now, besides this almost perpetually moving 'Xuanhuang Qi', is the matter of this world itself."
"If we can find the equation to convert matter into energy, there may be a glimmer of hope."
After a slight pause, the engineer continued his suggestion.
"The Empire once studied this energy system during its heyday and has achieved corresponding results."
"But His Majesty the Emperor believes that this energy system that destroys the world is too dangerous, so he did not promote this new energy on a large scale."
"I know there is a military base near the Mountains of Madness that used this energy after the Cataclysm."
"Unfortunately, they did not survive in the end. They were infected by the evil earth and the God of Harvest, and completely lost contact with them."
Hearing this, Qin II couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then spoke in an unquestionable voice.
"I will order the selection of the youngest and most elite men in the city to undergo the 'Xuan Huang Trial', and then have them form the Survey Corps and go to the Mountains of Madness."
