Fulu Rubik's Cube

Chapter 1098 Zhang Ke's Pattern

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

One after another, suspended mountains rise slowly from the five major regions.

The spiritual power between heaven and earth was turbulent, and vital energy was boiling. Clouds of vital energy continued to condense in the skies above all parts of the Azure Realm, and the rain of vital energy was spreading all over the world.

Along with countless hanging mountains, there are also numerous peaks, spiritual springs and various buildings rising into the air.

Through the "Heavenly Decree", everyone knows that Zhang Ke is now readjusting the density of spiritual energy and vitality in the realm.

From now on, 70% of the vital energy between heaven and earth will be transported to the thirty-sixth heaven, and only 30% of the vital energy between heaven and earth will remain within the realm.

Moreover, these 30% of vital energy are mainly concentrated in the spiritual veins condensed by various sects in the world, and the vital energy scattered in other regions will be even less.

Obviously, in the future, the cultivation speed of ordinary practitioners in the Blue Realm will become difficult due to the lack of vitality.

However, practitioners in the thirty-six heavens will become more suitable for practice because a large amount of vital energy is gathered.

Therefore, when Zhang Ke began to adjust the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the sects that had the conditions and ability were also trying to move the mountain gate.

As the Hanging Mountain rose, one blessed land after another was cut off from the earth's spiritual veins by the guidance of countless formations, and rose up with endless light.

Countless low-level practitioners from the sects watched as the peaks of the sects, which were emitting spiritual light, rose from the ground with rumbling sounds.

Seeing their fellow disciples standing upright on the mountain peaks and gradually rising into the air, many disciples couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

This is what cultivation is!

Only at this moment did they truly realize the huge gap between different levels in the world of cultivation.

It was at this moment that countless low-level practitioners determined to practice cultivation.

The same situation occurred in countless sects in the five major regions of the Blue Realm, and the psychological impact it brought to ordinary practitioners was profound and shocking.

In fact, there are different opinions within the "Nanzong of Xiantian Yiqi" about Zhang Ke's move to readjust the spiritual power of heaven and earth and the density of vital energy.

Everyone has a selfish heart. Not everyone is able to practice cultivation, and not everyone is willing to leave their family, relatives and friends, and leave the colorful world of the Azure Realm to go to the Thirty-Six Heavens to practice cultivation.

However, Zhang Ke's attitude towards this point was extremely tough, and no one had a choice, including the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong'.

High-level practitioners have caused too much harm to ordinary secular beings.

In the early years, the "Nine Nether Sky Ghost" Tushan in Bali, Yutian County, Tieshan City, just blew a breath and caused the death of nearly four thousand ordinary people. Many of Zhang Ke's fellow disciples also died in this incident.

That incident had a profound impact on Zhang Ke's heart.

The lifespan of a cultivator below the Jindan realm will not exceed two hundred years. Even if they have some magical powers, they will not cause too much damage to the secular world.

But it is different for practitioners above the Jindan realm. Every move they make can cause huge harm to ordinary creatures.

Especially for practitioners above this level, because their lifespan has greatly increased, when they realize that further practice is hopeless, their ambition will change from practicing wholeheartedly to enjoying the prosperity of the world or contributing to the family.

The lifespan of a golden elixir is 800 years. A cultivator with a lifespan of 800 years brings too much pressure to ordinary people.

In Zhang Ke's opinion, it is a waste of resources to simply keep a cultivator of this level of cultivation, and he may also bring great disaster to the secular world at any time. That is why he set the minimum standard for entering the Thirty-Sixth Heaven to the Golden Core Realm.

In this way, the number of practitioners in the secular world will still be as vast as the sea of ​​stars.

But nowadays, the system of 'guardian gods' has basically covered both the Yin and Yang worlds of the Azure Realm. With the assistance of the local Shinto systems of mountain gods, land gods, river gods, and the 'Wheel-Turning Church', the 'Heaven' can effectively manage the practitioners within the realm.

As for the practitioners above the thirty-sixth heaven, Zhang Ke planned to use the "Heavenly Decree" and the method of issuing tasks to induce them to serve the Heavenly Court and accelerate the development of the spiritual civilization of the Azure World.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to Zhang Ke's doing this.

In the view of some practitioners, since the thirty-six heavens have separated more than 70% of the vital energy of heaven and earth, the practice speed of ordinary practitioners in the realm will become slow in the future, and the difficulty of practice will also increase.

This will also lead to a significant reduction in the number of practitioners born in the future.

In the long run, it will do more harm than good!

But at the same time, as a large amount of vital energy is concentrated in the thirty-sixth heaven, the practice speed of high-level practitioners will change, and the strength of high-level practitioners in the Azure Realm will be significantly enhanced.

In this regard, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Zhang Ke has repeatedly deduced the pros and cons of this.

In his opinion, the vitality and resources between heaven and earth were actually originally occupied by a large number of high-level practitioners, and low-level practitioners did not take up too many resources.

Although an elephant and an ant are both individuals, the resources they draw from are vastly different.

Although only 30% of the vital energy remains within the realm, without high-level practitioners scrambling for resources, the cultivation of low-level practitioners may be affected, but not too greatly.

At the same time, raising the starting point of practice can also screen out some people who are not suitable for practice.

There should be a threshold for spiritual practice.

In the past, due to the many changes in the Blue Realm in the past few hundred years, the density of spiritual energy and vitality within the realm has greatly increased.

Some ordinary people who were originally not suitable for cultivation can also embark on the path of cultivation by consuming a large amount of resources.

However, doing so would cause an extremely huge loss of cultivation resources between heaven and earth.

After Zhang Ke mastered the laws of the realm, he found that although the realm was full of spiritual energy and vitality, the total amount of vitality deposited within the realm did not increase much.

The reason is that a large amount of resources between heaven and earth are wasted, resulting in no breakthrough growth in domain laws, spiritual inspiration, vitality, spiritual veins, etc.

This is the key to whether the realm can be promoted to the greater world in the future.

  Redundancy should be eliminated and serious illness should be cured!

Therefore, Zhang Ke decided to use this method to screen out those practitioners in the world who were not suitable for cultivation.

The turbulence of the vital energy between heaven and earth lasted for three months.

Since 70% of the vital energy between heaven and earth was guided to the thirty-sixth heaven by Zhang Ke, the operation of the four seasons within the realm inevitably changed.

Maybe it was a gentle drizzle one moment, and hail and snowflakes might fall the next.

At the same time, as the blessed places guarding the spiritual veins were pulled into the air, the crust of the realm was also undergoing drastic changes.

Mountains and peaks rise from the ground, rivers, lakes and seas surge out from the place where spiritual veins converge, and canyons and hills are born as the spiritual light of the earth veins circulates.

Areas may be green now, but they may turn into snow-capped mountains soon.

The vast ocean turns into mulberry fields.

The entire blue world is constantly changing with the changes caused by Zhang Ke leveraging the power of the laws of heaven.

During these three months, Zhang Ke demonstrated to all living beings within the realm what it means to be the master of a realm.

At the top of the Immortal Finger Peak, Xu Qingzhi stood on the sixty-sixth floor of the tower, looking out through the water wave-like barrier that kept disappearing golden runes.

In the vast field of vision, you can see hanging mountains rising into the sky.

At this time, the first of the thirty-six heavens, 'Taihuang Huangzengtian', had risen to a height of three thousand miles from the ground, or four hundred and fifty thousand feet.

Eight hundred miles above it is the second heaven, Taiming Yuwan Heaven, and so on until the thirty-sixth heaven.

These thirty-six heavens are not fixed above Laizhou, but are spread over the sky above the Wuda area in the Azure Realm according to the 'Great Zhoutian Star Ruyi Chakra Sequence Array' and operate according to the rules of the universe's tides.

In other words, these thirty-six heavens are like layers of meteorite belts suspended outside the outer shell of the star Blue World.

Outside of these thirty-six heavens, three thousand miles away, is the 'Hunyuan Heluo Array' which is based on three thousand stars and uses one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred large and small meteorites as nodes, wrapping around the azure world.

If you look at the Azure Realm in the void, the first of the thirty-six heavens, 'Taihuang Huangzengtian', is closest to the Azure Realm, and the thirty-sixth heaven, 'Daluotian', is the farthest from the realm.

But if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, 'Daluotian' will be the first line of defense to protect the Azure World.

What is heaven?

Control the four directions, protect internally and defend externally!

The atmosphere of the Azure Realm is about three thousand miles above the ground, which is why Zhang Ke built the Thirty-Six Heavens at such a height.

Even if an accident happens to the Thirty-Six Heavens, the Hanging Mountain will not fall from the sky due to gravity and cause a disaster to the Azure World.

Secondly, although the Thirty-Six Heavens have been established, the number of Hanging Mountains is still far from Zhang Ke’s expectations.

He planned to integrate the three thousand stars and the one-yuan meteorite belt in the 'Hunyuan Heluo Array' outside the thirty-six heavens into the thirty-six heavens.

However, the [Hunyuan Heluo Array] has been running on its own for countless years, and it is not easy to integrate it into the Thirty-Six Heavens intact.

It cannot be completed before the enemy of 'Haojing Shangyuan Spiritual Realm' invades, but if it can be integrated before the immortal cultivators invade, Zhang Ke will have some confidence in fighting against the immortal cultivators.

Xu Qingzhi stared blankly at the suspended mountains that were scattered and vaguely undulating in the rippling sea of ​​clouds around him, and couldn't help feeling a little lost.

Little Penglai Island is the core of the Heavenly Palace, located at the top of the thirty-six heavens, thirty thousand miles away from the ground.

In her sight, the Azure Realm was just a blue star, and only the approximate areas of the five major regions could be seen, with Laizhou and the Tai Chi Circle island chain having only vague outlines.

Suddenly, Xu Qingzhi felt that all his past experiences were like a dream.

Whether it was the fights between practitioners or the sect for which they had worked hard all their lives, everything became so distant and vague.

Zhang Ke stood quietly beside her. He could feel the fluctuations in Xu Qingzhi's heart.

When he first observed the blue world from a perspective outside the void, he also experienced similar psychological changes.

Although Xu Qingzhi has achieved the status of a Taoist master, she is one of the only two people in charge of the 'Nanzong of Xiantian Yiqi'.

For safety reasons, Xu Qingzhi seldom left Laizhou, let alone went near the void. Therefore, this kind of psychological changes that other practitioners could feel when they achieved their primordial spirits was only felt for the first time now.

  After a long while, Xu Qingzhi came back to his senses with a sigh, muttering to himself:

"Is the reason why we practice cultivation to become what we are now?"

  Zhang Ke opened his eyes filled with gray mist and chuckled:

"There are endless mysteries in the world and even in the universe. The birth of life, the growth of all things, the cycle of life and death, all of these are hidden in the fog.

Although we are fortunate to be human beings, we have condensed three souls, gathered seven spirits, and given birth to intelligent children, but to the outside world we are as ignorant as babies. What we seek through practice is the "Tao".

  But what is "Tao"?

That is the law by which all things in the universe operate.

  What does "ask" mean?

That is clearly understood.

We practice cultivation not to become what we are now, but to truly understand the laws governing the operation of all things in the universe and to clarify the truth.

As for our cultivation realm, magical powers, and spells, haha, these are just accessories to the pursuit of the truth."

Xu Qingzhi murmured:

“A thought brings flowers to life, something comes out of nothing.

Today I finally understand what is Dao Zun, what is Tian Zun, and what is the 'Great Way'. "

As these words were spoken, a bright diamond-like light burst out from between Xu Qingzhi's brows, and then a ripple of the great Dao visible to the naked eye shone through his body and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Zhang Ke bowed solemnly.

"I wish you to break through your mental barriers and realize your true self."

Xu Qingzhi smiled, and instantly the world became colorful and all things came alive.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist!" If a person wants to learn to walk, he must face difficulties independently.

Xu Qingzhi's practice in this life was relatively smooth. Although this was related to his extraordinary talent, it was also inseparable from Zhang Ke's constant help.

But every advantage has its disadvantages. Zhang Ke's help accelerated Xu Qingzhi's growth, but it also made her accustomed to dependence and lack of self-esteem.

Especially to achieve the status of Dao Lord, which is absolutely an insurmountable difficulty for any practitioner. With the help of Zhang Ke, Xu Qingzhi got through it in a daze.

Although Xu Qingzhi has achieved the status of a Taoist master, her state of mind and thinking are still at the level of the primordial spirit.

So when she faced the "wrath of heaven" that day, she was terrified and ready to kneel down to ask for forgiveness from heaven.

Zhang Ke discovered this after he woke up in Luojia Mountain. Today, he introduced it into the void to broaden his horizons and learn the Tao through words.

Xu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, calmed himself down, looked at the surrounding hanging mountains that were faintly glowing with rosy clouds, and asked curiously:

"Ke, now we are thousands of miles high in the sky, but I don't know how the people in the realm view us?"

There was no one around, so Xu Qingzhi naturally wouldn't call Zhang Ke the Emperor.

Zhang Ke laughed.

"It's just like when we saw the sky full of stars in the past."

  Xu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then said:

"It turns out that we are now one of the stars in the sky!"

At this moment, she had a new understanding of cultivation.

After quietly looking at the sea of ​​clouds all around for a long time, Xu Qingzhi said:

"Will we go back then?"

Zhang Ke could hear the reluctance in Xu Qingzhi's words, and he understood how Xu Qingzhi felt at the moment.

"Qingzhi, when children grow up, they will eventually leave home.

In the past, the realm protected and nourished us like a mother.

Now that we have grown up, staying at home would only become a burden and we would not be able to exercise and grow.

We must go out, learn, survive, and become stronger. We must protect this territory like a child protects its mother. "

  After a brief pause, he continued:

“No matter how Heaven develops in the future, the Azure Realm is our root, and we can certainly go back.

However, the Heavenly Court governs the three realms, controls the four directions, divides yin and yang, establishes the four seasons, balances the five elements, moves the military regulations, and sets all records.

Qingzhi, from now on, you will not be managing a sect, but a region, so you need to be more open-minded and pay attention, do you understand?"

Xu Qingzhi bowed solemnly.

"Wu Shuang understands!"

Xu Qingzhi clearly distinguished between official and private affairs, and at this moment she responded as the head of Gongcao Mansion.

Zhang Ke waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.

Xu Qingzhi pondered for a moment and asked:

"Emperor, now the Thirty-Six Heavens have been established, and the various departments of the Heavenly Court are also being constructed step by step. Almost all the sects in the world have moved to the Thirty-Six Heavens.

What is the next plan of Heaven? "

The 'Haojing Shangyuan Spiritual Realm' will arrive in three years at the shortest, and Xu Qingzhi can't help feeling a little worried.

Zhang Ke touched his chin and asked:

"Can you submit the geography, geomancy, resources, personnel, and characteristics of the techniques of various sects in the world?"

Xu Qingzhi took out a golden book from his sleeve.

"Including Buddhism, all 18,794 sects in this world have submitted their sect compilations. Tianyan Academy will compile them for your review."

Zhang Ke took the compiled golden book and looked through it carefully with his spiritual sense.

For the first time since the immortal cultivators left the realm nine thousand years ago, all the information of the sects in the world was collected.

This was unthinkable in the past. Of course, the sects in the world would hide something, but what Zhang Ke wanted was not the secrets of the sects, but the power and resources they controlled.

If he wants to fight against the 'Haojing Shangyuan Spiritual Realm' and even future immortal cultivators, he must integrate all his strength.

  After a long time, Zhang Ke put down the Golden Book of Compilation, thought for a moment and said:

"It is the same in ancient and modern times. If you want to fight against foreign enemies, you can't get away from the eight words 'develop internally and send troops externally'.

From now on, we will integrate the resources of all the sects in this world and vigorously develop the "Floating Flying Boat", "Giant God Soldier", "Ruyi Shuttle", "Creation and Origin Dew" and various defensive and offensive formations. "

Xu Qingzhi hesitated for a moment and asked:

“How do we do it specifically?”

Zhang Ke understood her concerns and said in a serious tone:

"According to the compiled golden book, the disciples of each sect who are proficient in refining equipment, refining pills, array formations, and talismans will be dispatched.

All the related skills and secret records of this sect will be released, and the Thirty-Six Departments will be in charge of the management and control. All resources will be integrated to develop it. Within three years, I want 80% of the resources of this world to be consumed in this."

Xu Qingzhi's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but say:

“Master, these related techniques and secret records were established with the efforts and hard work of countless disciples of our sect.

The Sect Master made it public so easily today, isn’t it too much?”

Xu Qingzhi didn't know what to say and felt extremely heartbroken.

Zhang Ke turned his misty eyes towards Xu Qingzhi.

“I have said before that the pattern needs to be enlarged.

When a person belongs to a family, his neighbors are outsiders.

When he walked out, he was a outsider outside his village or town. When he walked out further, he was a outsider outside the state.

In the past, in the Azure Realm, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong' was just one sect, so we had to put the interests of the sect first.

Now that the Heavenly Palace has been established, we must set our sights on the entire Azure Realm.

In the future, when the Heavenly Court covers this star field, those outside the star field will be our opponents.

The strength of the realm as a whole is the real strength. The rifts between the sects in the past are just like passing clouds, so let them go!"

Xu Qingzhi's heart was shaken when he heard this. Everyone thought that Zhang Ke was vindictive, but little did they know that he was the most broad-minded person in the world.

Obviously, Zhang Ke now regarded the entire Blue Realm as his own child, so he would not hesitate to contribute the sect's hard work.

"Wushuang knows he was wrong."

  Zhang Ke smiled and shook his head, then continued:

"Let's just do this internally. Although it may be a bit of a desperate measure, we have to prioritize things. Let's deal with this disaster first."

After a brief pause, he continued:

“In addition, the ‘Tower of Babel’ will be opened, and warriors from various sects will be dispatched to the ‘Eight Divisions’ to be trained in the tower.

Also, please note that in order to facilitate cooperation between the sects, the new practice system should be the core during the training."

Zhang Ke hesitated for a moment and said through gritted teeth:

"Publicize my self-created 'Three-Dimensional Mixed Primordial Chakra Method' to all sects in the world."

  Xu Qingzhi trembled all over and exclaimed:

"Absolutely not!"

The 'Three-Dimensional Hunyuan Chakra Method' was derived by Zhang Ke by combining his own 'Innate Hunyuan Yiqi Method' and 'Three-Dimensional Chakra Method', and it is also the core technique he is practicing at the moment.

Because Zhang Ke's rise was so dazzling, all the sects in the world had long been attracted by the skills he practiced. The "Daode Sect" once offered three innate spiritual treasures to obtain his skills but was unsuccessful.

Xu Qingzhi said a little anxiously:

"Master, I know that you want to make your skills public so that disciples from all the sects in the world can cooperate with each other.

I am not worried about other people learning this technique, but this technique is related to the secrets of your Taoism. Once it is known to outsiders, if they deduce the flaws in it, wouldn't it be self-defeating in the future? "

Zhang Ke had figured it out by now and shook his head with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. If there are people in the world who can help me find out the shortcomings and fill in the gaps, why not do it?"

  Seeing Xu Qingzhi still looking worried, Zhang Ke said seriously:

"Let me ask you, what is the Three Pure Ones' technique?"

Xu Qingzhi didn't have time to think about it and said:

"Nine rotations of Shangqing, warming and nourishing sitting cross-legged, Sanqing natural intention exercise, Sanqing elixir method, small and large circulation."

At this point, Xu Qingzhi suddenly had an idea and stopped talking.

  Zhang Ke said calmly:

"Since the Three Pure Ones can selflessly pass down the Taoist tradition, why can't I?"

Xu Qingzhi stared at Zhang Ke in a daze.

  The bigger your heart is, the bigger the stage is!

Zhang Ke once told her this. Although she didn't understand what a stage was, she understood the pattern displayed on it.

Since the man in front of me wants to be on par with the Heavenly Lord, I must help him with all my strength no matter what.

  After calming down, Xu Qingzhi pondered:

"Since the headmaster wants to pass on the 'Three-Dimensional Hunyuan Chakra Method', the core essence of the 'Twelve Yuanchen Visualization Method' should also be made public."

The 'Visualization Method of the Twelve Yuanchen' is based on Zhang Ke's 'Ruyi Talisman'. One visualizes one of the Twelve Yuanchen Dharma images in the mind, and then lights up the natal star to build the foundation.

Afterwards, in the ten small realms from the Innate Realm to the Yuanshen Realm, one can practice a technique in each small realm.

This practice system is divided into twelve major systems, and each system is divided into six major branches, basically covering the requirements of attack, defense, treatment, exploration, assistance, summoning, long-range, melee and other aspects.

Since the core of this method is the 'Ruyi Talisman', it has strong integration. Nowadays, more than 70% of practitioners in the world also practice the 'Twelve Yuanchen Visualization Method'.

However, the core of this method, 'Yuan Chen Visualization', was not passed on to outsiders in the past, so the practitioners' practice was not affected, but they were unable to awaken the supernatural powers corresponding to each major realm.

Xu Qingzhi fantasized about it for a while and felt very excited.

"The master's 'Three-Dimensional Mixed Primordial Chakra Method' cultivates both the body and the soul, and is the world's top-notch technique.

Coupled with the highly integrated 'Twelve Yuan Chen Visualization Method', by using the illusion of life and death in the 'Tower of Babel', after three years, a powerful army of practitioners who are good at fighting will surely emerge."

Speaking of this, Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but tremble all over, and every hair on his body stood up.

Zhang Ke smiled slyly and said a motto from his dream.

"All the heroes in the world are within my grasp!"
