Chapter 247 The Secret of the Golden Knife Sect
Because advanced civilizations find it fun, they have to control another alien civilization to have fun?
Li Qingyang's explanation sounded outrageous, but Yang Lu thought about it carefully and found that this was not completely unreasonable.
Many people used water to flood wild ant nests when they were young, or trapped wild ants crawling out of the ant nests, and enjoyed it. But in addition to these relatively low-level gameplay, there are also some more advanced gameplays, the most typical one is the so-called ant workshop.
This kind of ant workshop is sold in many pet stores.
For example, the Ant Workshop where Yang Lu played when he was a child was a huge glass bottle. The transparent soil inside was infused with seaweed powder and a nutrient gel made of very little plant pigment. As long as the ants were put in and the lid was covered to prevent the ants from crawling out, humans could clearly see the lives of these ants. If you use a magnifying glass, you can also see more details of the ants, and you can even clearly observe the entire process of ants digging nests and tunnels, as well as how ants communicate and cooperate with each other.
For humans, making ant workshop is a very interesting behavior. Even many primary school natural classes in first-tier cities will ask children to make ant workshops by themselves to cultivate their hands-on ability and interest in biology.
However, for ant civilization, this kind of ant workshop is not a good thing, but a civilization-level world-destruction disaster. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "Xth Crisis of Heaven" of Ant civilization.
Because ants do not dig holes normally in the ant workshop, they will only look for exits frantically. The tunnels they dug are not the ant nests dug by nature, but the tunnels they want to escape and dig; and ants are darker, and in order to facilitate human observation, the gel inside the ant workshop is a light-transmitting material, and ants will die due to strong light. In addition, after ants enter the artificial environment from the natural environment, there will be a long adaptation period and a weak eradication period, which will cause a large number of individuals to die if they are not adapted to the soil and soil. Moreover, the gel materials in the workshop will seep out water after being left for a long time, causing the teen eggs of the ant to be drowned directly. This is also an important reason for the limited shelf life of the ant workshop.
In a sense, Ant Workshop is an ant civilization that has been strongly intervened by humans.
Do humans need to care about the ideas of ants when intervening in ant civilization?
Not needed!
Is there any special meaning of human intervention in ant civilization?
Actually, there isn't!
Ant civilization is very weak compared to human civilization, and the Jiuzhou civilization is undoubtedly extremely weak compared to the cosmic high-level civilization that can conduct interstellar travel. Even the earth civilization that is not much smarter than the Jiuzhou world, time travelers can make all kinds of wind and rain after coming. If a higher-level civilization visits the cultivation world and transforms it into a cosmic ant workshop, isn’t it possible?
The various contradictions between the historical records of the Jiuzhou Cultivation World and the social form are due to the side effects of some advanced civilizations' dimensionality reduction attacks on lower civilizations...
I have to say that Li Qingyang did give a terrifying inference!
When Li Qingyang saw that Yang Lu was already shocked by his inference, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that my theory is indeed a bit out of the ordinary, and it can actually surprise the legendary demons outside the sky. But no matter what, I have no chance to continue to study this secret, and I can only hand it over to you later generations. But I have no regrets. After all, what I have seen and heard in this life is far beyond the level of an ordinary cultivator!"
Yang Lu also promised solemnly: "Don't worry, President Li, even for myself, I will definitely find out the secrets of the Jiuzhou Cultivation World!"
Li Qingyang waved his hand slowly, saying that he no longer cared about the truth of the matter, and then changed the subject: "I don't have much time anymore, and it's meaningless to discuss these metaphysical things now. There are more imminent things to do. If there is no other thing, you can leave on your own. I, an old man, must rest more to survive for a while and buy more time for that girl Qingning. As long as I still have a breath, many of your things will be convenient for you to do..."
Hearing Li Qingyang's voice became low again, Yang Lu couldn't help but sigh:
My eldest daughter has a good grandfather!
In order to buy more time for his great-granddaughter, Li Qingyang would rather sit in Baiyu Pavilion and meditate and rest like he was in jail, just to gain enough time for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.
Yang Lu clearly remembered that when Li Qingning visited Li Qingyang for the first time, the old man was still very willing to chat with her, but now he realized that he might not be able to hold on to the battlefield outside the territory, he was even reluctant to meet Li Qingning.
If Li Qingyang hadn't realized that he might be a demon from the earth, he wouldn't have called him to see him.
Although the old president did not say it clearly, Yang Lu knew that the other party obviously planned to entrust Li Qingning to him!
But even so, he was very proud of Yang Lu's words.
If Yang Lu did not ask the secret of the Ascension in Bai Ri, but instead left voluntarily after seeing Li Qingyang closing his eyes and not answering, he might never know the important information Li Qingyang had just revealed.
Although he knew that he should not continue to disturb Li Qingyang's rest, Yang Lu couldn't help asking: "If I didn't show up, how did you plan to arrange Miss Qingning?"
Li Qingyang slowly spoke, "There is no good idea. I don't even know whether she can survive the trials of the extraterritorial battlefield. During the third spiritual stone financial crisis, countless cultivators' families were destroyed, and our Li family had no idea how many blood feuds have formed. If she could survive the extraterritorial battlefield, I was going to entrust her to Tian Daxiao. For the sake of President Lu, Tian Daxiao would treat her well. This was also the conditions I negotiated with Tian Daxiao in Huoyunzhou five years ago."
Five years ago...
Before Yang Lu set out to the offshore island, Li Qingning told him that she had met Tian Beixi in Huoyunzhou with Li Qingyang five years ago. It turned out that Li Qingyang took her to Huoyunzhou that time, specifically to ask Tian Daxiao to entrust her to the other side!
Tian Daxiao has just turned 600 this year, but has already reached the level of the Nascent Soul, and has at least seven or eight hundred years of life. Li Qingyang entrusts his helpless great-granddaughter to the other party for care, which is a very reasonable choice.
Li Qingyang took the initiative to mention this matter at this time, and also implied that if he had no way out, he could consider going to Huoyunzhou to join Tian Daxiao.
But the problem is that before I met Tian Daxiao, I humiliated his favorite disciple Tian Beixi. After the marriage was formed, things would be difficult to deal with...
No matter how powerful Li Qingyang's intelligence network is, it will definitely not cover the off-island. He may not know the messy things he did on the off-island now!
Forcibly concealing the embarrassment, Yang Lu bowed his hands solemnly: "President Li, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the eldest lady and try not to let her go to Huoyunzhou to live under someone else's roof."
Li Qingyang just nodded slightly and did not answer.
Yang Lu couldn't bear to continue disturbing the other party. After bowing to Li Qingyang, he was about to get up and leave Baiyu Pavilion. However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, Li Qingyang called him again: "By the way, I have a very important secret here. I thought about it and thought it would be better to tell you now..."
Hearing Li Qingyang suddenly spoke and tried to keep him, Yang Lu quickly stopped the trail: "You said it's okay!"
Li Qingyang nodded, then slowly spoke: "This matter is the secret of our Jindao Sect's leaders for all generations. Even Zeng Zhiquan, the chairman of the Wuliang Sword Sect Stock Exchange, who is about to take over me as the next head of the Jindao Sect, doesn't know..."
Yang Lu clearly remembers that before Li Qingyang took over the Jindao Sect, his sect had been single-handed for nine generations in a row. Li Qingyang, who wandered around in his youth, could be called a person and a sect.
Yang Lu often hears others' comments that the Golden Knife Sect has no historical heritage at all. He did not expect that his own sect would have such a secret that was passed down from mouth to mouth by the heads of all generations!
Seeing Yang Lu showing an interesting expression, Li Qingyang continued to say: "This secret was first discovered by the eighth generation of our Jindao Sect. After verification by the ancestors of the Jindao Sect, it was not until my master's generation that he was finally confirmed and achieved practical research results..."
The master Li Qingyang mentioned at this time definitely did not refer to President Lu Yang. President Lu was just Li Qingyang's registered master and did not pass on the sect-controlling technique of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Even the book "The Wuliang Heart Sutra - From Beginning to Mastery" was given to the entire Golden Sword Sect by President Lu before he ascended. At that time, Li Qingyang was about to advance to the Golden Pill Stage, and it was impossible for him to re-practice the heaven-level martial arts of the Wuliang Sword Sect.
As the only remaining disciple of the Golden Knife Sect, Li Qingyang must have had a master who taught him his deeds in his early years. However, because President Lu's light was too dazzling, many people inadvertently ignored the fact that Li Qingyang had a master who was personally sent to him, and only remembered that he had a registered master who ascended in the daytime.
However, now it seems that Li Qingyang's personal master may not be simple. After all, it is a secret that makes Li Qingyang's tone so serious. Yang Lu even thought about it with his toes and knew that it must be unusual.
Li Qingyang did not care about Yang Lu's thoughts, but said to himself: "I have only told President Lu in this life. But now that President Lu has ascended to heaven, my life span is about to be exhausted, and I don't want the most important research results of the ancestors of the Golden Knife Sect to be lost!"
Although Yang Lu was curious about what this secret was, he still asked patiently: "Since this secret is of great importance, why don't you tell Miss Qingning, Xu Yannan, or Wang Ziwei and others about it? They are all disciples of the Golden Knife Sect!"
Li Qingyang said in a deep voice: "Because this secret is too important, it may even completely destroy the entire Jiuzhou cultivation world. If it weren't for our Golden Knife Sect's end of the journey back then, the ancestor of the Golden Knife Sect who discovered this secret would not have passed this secret to my generation. I originally thought that since the Golden Knife Sect had risen again in my hands, I would have fulfilled the wishes of the ancestors of all generations. Therefore, I should not continue to pass on this secret, but your arrival made me temporarily change my mind!"
Yang Lu pointed at himself and said in surprise: "Is this because of my arrival?"
Li Qingyang slowly spoke: "You are the legendary demon from the sky. If you let it go, you can even threaten the safety of the entire Jiuzhou cultivation world, just like when President Lu used the financial stability of Jiuzhou as a bet to make a big bet. Therefore, after you discovered that after you arrived, I actually had only two choices. The first choice is to kill you on the spot!"
Yang Lu immediately fought a cold war and said carefully: "You shouldn't make things difficult for me as a junior!"
"Don't you really think that I've never considered the possibility of shooting you on the spot?" Li Qingyang showed a creepy expression with a smile, which made Yang Lu subconsciously take a step back. Before Yang Lu could defend himself, Li Qingyang continued to add, "Of course, although it's more safe to shoot you on the spot, I still don't plan to do this, so I only have the last choice, which is to help you."
Yang Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you choose to let me go?"
Li Qingyang replied casually: "It's still the same reason, it's not a bad person, you and I are the same type of people."
Yang Lu has never been sent a good person card in his life.
Suddenly hearing Li Qingyang evaluate him as "not a bad person", he almost couldn't hold back his laughter on the spot.
Yang Luke never thought he was a good person!
However, before he had time to speak, Li Qingyang continued to explain: "To be precise, you and I are the kind of people who will always make the most beneficial choices for themselves and always do things according to their own preferences, which is the so-called refined egoists. This word was actually what President Lu taught me back then, although I vaguely feel that this is not a good word..."
Maybe it was because Li Qingyang was the first native of Jiuzhou to see through his identity as a time traveler, or maybe it was because Li Qingyang was thinking similar to his own way of thinking. Yang Lu felt very relaxed when chatting with Li Qingyang. After hearing the other party’s evaluation of him, Yang Lu couldn’t help but joke: “Because of this, aren’t you worried about the safety of Jiuzhou?”
Li Qingyang smiled with a little disdain: "What does Jiuzhou have to do with me, Li Qingyang?"
The president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank actually said that he didn't care about the survival of Jiuzhou at all?
Such a rebellious speech made Yang Lu subconsciously look around. After all, if what Li Qingyang had just said was spread to the outside world, the entire Jiuzhou cultivation world would be in a turmoil.
Li Qingyang saw Yang Lu's surprised expression and couldn't help laughing: "I was an ordinary person. Being the president of the Spirit Stone Reserve Bank does not mean that I immediately became a moral saint. Many of my halos actually come from the power in my hands, not character. Apart from the matter of Qingning girl, I don't want to care about other things in the Jiuzhou cultivation world, and I don't have the ability to continue to care about them. Whether you want to or not, your position has been bound to my troops. I will tell you this secret. Since I am making a good relationship with you in advance and selling you a huge favor, I can also be regarded as a junior who supports you..."
"President Li, you respect me so much!"
Li Qingyang did not care about Yang Lu's politeness, and his expression became serious again, slowly revealing the biggest secret in himself: "Many years ago, our Jindao Sect ancestor had discovered that the way of Jiuzhou can actually be deceived by cultivators!"
