Chapter 900 Familiar Planet(1/2)
The Supreme Leader looked at Chu Qiguang in front of him, and the relevant information about the person in front of him also reflected in his mind.
'A strange man with mysterious origins, but trusted by Taixu Taoist Ancestor, and presiding over the Nine Blessings Plan of Heaven and Man...'
'Through his observations over the past six months...he has been thinking of ways to gather the resources of the entire universe.'
'But to what end?'
'After one year, if he fails to achieve the nine blessings of heaven and man, the Taoist ancestors will not let him go, and the master will only abandon him.'
'Chu Qiguang, what is his purpose?'
'Anyway, let's use him to promote my progress for the time being...'
On the other side, Chu Qiguang thought to himself: 'Does the Tianyan beast... have anything to do with the Tianyan theory in the Han world?'
'Speaking of which, I didn't find any record of Ji Wufan compiling "Secrets of the Purple Mansion" in Xu Dao Palace.'
'So that means "Secrets of the Purple Mansion" was written by Ji Wufan after he left Xu Dao Palace?'
‘Is there any connection between this and the Tianyan Beast that he paid attention to in the Xu Dao Palace last time?’
'There is also the name Huangji Tianjun...'
Chu Qiguang always had a feeling in his heart, that is, the Tianyan Beast experiment that Ji Wufan was paying attention to before leaving Xu Dao Palace might be hiding some important secret.
I heard Chu Qiguang say again: "Xiao Tai, please take me to find Emperor Huangji. The project of the Heavenly Evolving Beast may also be helpful to the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man."
Although Taishang Taoist Master didn't know why the other party was interested in a project that had been abandoned by the upper echelons of Xu Dao Palace, he felt a slight movement in his heart:
'Huangji Tianjun is now outside the abyss, and it is very far away, right?'
'If Chu Qiguang really stays with Emperor Huangji...then it will be more free and convenient for me to do some things in the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man.'
The Supreme Taoist Master smiled slightly and said politely: "I still want to check the specific location of Huangji Tianjun. I will take you there tomorrow..."
…
The next day, Chu Qiguang and Taishang Dao Zun came to a world of birds singing, flowers fragrant, green mountains and green waters.
What Chu Qiguang saw was that there were cities all over the land, and there were floating fairy mountains in the sky, among which magic weapons and monks were constantly flickering back and forth.
Seeing this scene, Chu Qiguang sighed and said, "Is this the world you created?"
Within the Taoist system of Xu Dao Palace, every being who has reached the realm of immortals and gods can master the Taoist techniques of opening up space through practice, and slowly develop a tiny alien space into a small world.
There is another name for such a small world, it is called Luo Tianjie by the immortals and gods.
Taishang Dao Zun nodded and said: "This world is called Supreme Heaven, and I have been running it for many years. Let's drive this world and rush to Huangji Tianjun."
At this moment, this different space called Supreme Heaven is quickly leaving the abyss under the control of Taishang Taoist Master.
Just like a bubble sliding at high speed on the foam, it is constantly changing its spatial position in the material world, getting closer and closer to Huangji Tianjun.
But Chu Qiguang and Taishang Dao Zun were walking in the world of the Supreme Heaven without being affected by the cosmic environment at all.
The two of them came to a river embankment crowded with tourists one after another. Looking at the waves in the distance, Chu Qiguang asked casually: "There are many mortals in this world."
Taishang Daozun said: "All immortals and gods are born from mortals."
"It's like this wave in front of me."
"I believe that the more and better mortals there are, the more and better immortals and gods will be born to promote the progress of the entire universe."
As he spoke, along with the changes in Taishang Dao Zun's thoughts, the wave in front of him expanded wildly and rose, coming towards his face like a tsunami.
But the next moment, amid the exclamations of tourists around, several monks rose into the sky, each using Taoist magic to resist the incoming tsunami.
Watching this scene, Chu Qiguang said: "The monks in your world are not weak."
The Supreme Taoist Master smiled slightly: "All mortals in the Supreme Heaven must learn Taoism from the age of three. Those with high talents can join the Taoist Academy for further study. During this period, I will provide all the necessary Taoist qualifications."
Chu Qiguang sighed: "As far as I know, other Taoist ancestors' worlds don't pay so much attention to the cultivation of mortals, right?"
"After a hundred years or a thousand years, you may have the largest number of immortals and gods under your sect, and the largest number of people holding important positions in heaven."
The Supreme Taoist Master said humbly: "How can I compare with the Taoist ancestors with my humble Taoist practice?"
Chu Qiguang glanced at him and thought to himself: 'I originally thought that this guy was very ambitious and would try his best to exploit mortals. But I didn't expect that the situation here is better than other worlds.'
'Or is his ambition greater than I expected?'
Chu Qiguang has been to many different Luotian Realms these days. It can be said that in most Luotian Realms, the cultivation qualifications for mortals are getting increasingly scarce.
In some worlds, mortals have no experience in practicing Taoism in recent decades, and Taoism is even mastered by only a few rulers...
In some worlds, the formations, rituals, and magic weapons that were originally created with great efforts are gradually being abandoned...
In some worlds, mortals with Taoist skills have even lost their job opportunities...
A large number of worlds began to see industrial decline and waves of immigration.
The worlds that were originally civilized by manufacturing magic weapons, refining elixirs, and developing Taoist arts began to become dilapidated and depressed.
All this is because most of the resources of the Xu Dao Palace have been invested in the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Humanity, causing the Taoism industry chain that originally consumed a lot of resources to be abandoned in large areas.
And Chu Qiguang can also understand the reason.
'The efficiency of expanding assets through time and space leverage is too high. Under the insistence of Taixu Daozu, a large amount of resources flowed into the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man.'
The highest pursuit of the Taoist ancestors after they rule the universe is to use the resources of the entire universe to assist in Taoism, allowing them to further control the way of heaven and continuously analyze more mysteries of the way of heaven.
When it comes to the accumulation of monastic resources, the original industrial chain composed of civilizations and worlds seems to be inferior to the expansion brought about by the lever of time and space.
'As the plan of the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man continues to progress and resources are highly concentrated, the monastic industry begins to shrink. The middle and lower classes will receive less and less resources, and mortals will bear the brunt.'
'Can this phenomenon...can be called the hollowing out of the monastic industry?'
Chu Qiguang turned around, left the embankment in front of him, and asked casually: "By the way, why do we have to drive away from Luo Tianjie? Can't we meet directly with Daoist Huangji through the void?"
Taishang Dao Zun glanced at him unexpectedly and explained: "Any time and space interference through the void is a taboo, and the same is true for communication through the void."
"These are the rules set by the seventy-two Dao Ancestors working together to operate the Dao of Heaven. Even the Dao Ancestors themselves cannot cross the void at will and interfere with time and space."
"This is engraved into the laws of heaven's operation, and I can't resist it."
"If it must be carried out, it needs to be approved by the higher authorities and obtain temporary permission... That kind of thing is too troublesome, so I thought I would just go directly to the place of Emperor Huangji."
Chu Qiguang nodded slightly and thought to himself: 'Although I already knew this taboo when I was in Xu Dao Palace, I didn't expect... that it can't even transmit information in pure space?'
'But if this is the law that is carved into the law of heaven, why can I do it? Even... the masters of Shenyou in the Han world can do this?'
'Is there some kind of change in the future?'
Chu Qiguang still had a lot of questions about space-time interference, but unfortunately the Supreme Taoist in front of him could not answer his questions.
After the two of them wandered in the Supreme Heaven for a while, the Supreme Taoist Master said, "We're here."
With a flash of light and shadow, Chu Qiguang felt that the physical body was pulled and squeezed by a force, and in the blink of an eye he came into the vacuum of the universe.
What appeared in front of him was a star system that was getting closer and closer.
This is a star system with a star at the center and eight planets surrounding it, constantly spiraling forward.
Regardless of Chu Qiguang's physical body created by Taoist ancestors, or Taishang Taoist Master, the vacuum of the universe cannot harm them.
The next moment, as the Supreme Taoist thought moved, the space around the two people was continuously pulled.
Using the pull of space to move, the two continued to move forward at a high speed.
And as they accelerate, the third planet in the star system is constantly getting closer to them.
It was a planet with more than 70% of its surface covered by water and full of green.
This planet also has a single satellite. There is no sea water on the surface of the satellite, and there is no atmosphere. Only dense impact craters can be seen.
Chu Qiguang was slightly startled as he watched the planets that continued to magnify in his eyes, gradually revealing the appearance of continents.
The appearance of the continents made him feel a little familiar.
'Why does it feel similar to the continental plates of the earth?'
'No...this seems to be really...'
Chu Qiguang's eyes kept scanning the appearance of the planet under his feet, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt.
Although the shape and position of the continental plates were different from the earth Chu Qiguang knew, he could still see the faint similarities.
'Continental drift?'
According to the knowledge Chu Qiguang learned when he was on Earth, the Earth's continental plates are moving a few centimeters every year.
If time spans tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, the positions of the Earth's plates will look very different.
Chu Qiguang looked at the continent in front of him and felt as if he was seeing the earth in different time periods.
"Xiao Tai..." Chu Qiguang said calmly: "Go and have a look at the nearby planet."
Moon, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn...
Under the leadership of Supreme Taoist Master, familiar and unfamiliar planets kept appearing in front of Chu Qiguang, and he became more and more certain in his heart.
'It's the solar system... it's the earth...'
‘Were Emperor Huangji’s Tianyan beast experiments conducted on Earth?’
To be continued...
