A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

The ghostly figure finished laughing, and then asked the burly figure:
"So, Lord City Lord, how long will it take you to prepare?"

"Thirty years!"

The burly figure spoke with a deep and cold voice:

"I need at least thirty years to prepare to ensure everything goes well!"

"Thirty years? That's not a short time." The ghostly figure muttered, but didn't say anything else. He just said, "Then let's say thirty years."

As the words fell, the ghostly figure disappeared from the underground secret room.

The burly figure walked out slowly.

Yes, that's right.

He is the current Lord of Yunque City, Boyi.

His face was as rugged as his figure.

At this moment, a hint of coldness appeared on that rough face.

"Hmph, Gu Shenghua, if it weren't for... this city lord would never allow you to be so presumptuous!"

Bo Shi snorted in his heart.

The ghostly figure who was having a secret conversation with him was naturally the leader of the Bai Gu Sheng Hua, Gu Sheng Hua.

Although I have gained a lot of benefits from Bai Gu Sheng Hua over the years.

But Bo Shi had no good feelings towards Gu Sheng Hua.

After all, the more benefits you get, the bigger the leverage you naturally have.

Although Gu Shenghua called him "Lord City Lord" just now, the implicit threat in his tone still made Bo Shi very unhappy.

But soon, he suppressed this emotion and looked towards the high-end residential area, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes: "Lin Yang..."

……

Time flies, time flies.

Before I knew it, thirty years had passed.

On this day, Lin Yang temporarily stopped increasing his strength and opened his eyes.

"The absorption of the world has finally stopped."

"For the past thirty years, most of the resources and strength I have absorbed have been sucked away by the 'realm'..."

There was a hint of helplessness in Lin Yang's eyes.

According to the original plan, he should be able to successfully advance to the second level in thirty to forty years, and then use the remaining fifty to sixty years to advance from the second level to the third level.

But the current situation is that not long after he started his retreat, the power he absorbed and transformed was basically completely sucked away by the "realm".

And the absorption ratio is as high as 90%!

Yes.

Ninety percent!

He could only get 10% of the power absorbed from the resources, and the remaining 90% was sucked away by the "boundary".

This also means that he is still at the same level now.

This is a bit tricky.

Because nearly 80% of the resources have been used up in these 30 years!
Originally, these resources were enough for him to absorb for about a hundred years.

However, due to the inexplicable absorption of the "realm", the massive resources prepared previously were almost gone after only thirty years.

Even if the "realm" has stopped absorbing now, the remaining resources are not enough for him to reach the third level.

Not to mention the third level, even reaching the second level might be a bit difficult.

Without these resources, it means that he can only get about 2 billion Jingxu coins to buy it again.

Otherwise, you will have to rely on absorbing spiritual power to improve slowly.

But 2 billion Jingxu coins... are not that easy to get!
Don’t think that he had previously looted several teams of Bai Gu Sheng Hua and got nearly 10 billion.

But this won't happen again.

No matter whether it was Bai Gu Sheng Hua or other underground forces, from then on, after every robbery, they would transfer the wealth into the city as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is not so easy to quickly accumulate 2 billion wealth by plundering the underground forces outside the city.

"Jie, Jie, you have absorbed almost 4 billion of my resources. I hope you won't let me down..."

Lin Yang sighed, and then began to actively call upon the power of "realm" with some nervousness and anticipation.

He wanted to see if the "realm" would have any new abilities after absorbing so many resources!
hum.

next moment.

The power of the world permeates.

"Huh? There aren't any unique changes?"

Lin Yang frowned.

This is not because he has high expectations, nor is it because he is greedy and thinks that the "realm" will inevitably undergo new changes after absorbing a large amount of resources.

But this time, it was the "realm" that stopped absorbing on its own initiative.

That's why he felt that there might be some unique changes in the "realm".

As for the fact that there was no change now, although Lin Yang was a little disappointed, he quickly adjusted his mood.

The power of the world has helped him too many times, so it doesn’t matter even if there is no new change after absorbing so many resources this time.

Just consider it as a reward to the “world”.

But he was a little worried about how to quickly get another 2 billion Jingxu coins.

If you are not at the third level, your strength is still a little lacking.

The leader of the White Bones and Flowers has accumulated many years of understanding the power of Taoism and has reached the third level.

To kill the opponent, you must be sure enough.

Lin Yang pondered and began to take back the power of the "realm", intending to absorb the remaining 20% ​​of the resources and then come out.

but--

"Huh? No!"

"That is……"

suddenly.

The moment Lin Yang took back the power of "realm", the world in front of him suddenly became dark.

All the surrounding scenes disappeared in an instant.

There is only one flower.

One.

Blood red flowers.

It instantly enlarged before his eyes.

Blood-red buds bloom layer by layer.

In a flash, it bloomed completely.

A strange red light flashed on the seven blood-red petals.

Then, the petals fell off one by one, leaving a hint of red light in the endless darkness before completely withering and dissipating.

It was as if the blood-colored flower had never appeared.

call……

Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be a breeze blowing through the darkness.

then.

The scene where the bloody flower bud appeared just now began to happen again.

Buds appear, bloom, and petals fall off, wither, and dissipate.

The whole process only takes a few seconds.

But every time the petals fall off and disappear, the scene of the bud appearing again in less than a second.

Again and again.

It's like I'm stuck in some kind of cycle.

All that was left in Lin Yang's eyes was the blood-red flowers that kept appearing, withering and disappearing.

Unknowingly.

It has been cycled at least tens of thousands of times.

Lin Yang's eyes began to feel sore, and he even shed some tears uncontrollably.

His gaze seemed to be forced to focus on the cycle of the blood-colored flowers.

Under the stimulation of the strange red light, his eyes began to feel overwhelmed.

But the cycle of the blood-colored flowers shows no sign of stopping.

Finally, Lin Yang's eyes could no longer bear it, and the darkness in front of his eyes disappeared, leaving only nothingness.

Click.

A sound like glass breaking suddenly rang out.

The nothingness in my sight began to crumble bit by bit.

Swish!
next second.

A strong light caught my eyes.

The scene in front of him also changed back to the villa.

"Was that just... an illusion...?"

Lin Yang's head was buzzing, and he couldn't tell whether everything in front of him was real.

Although the scene was in a villa, the scenes of the blood-colored flowers appearing repeatedly still flashed before his eyes.

Just like when ordinary people suffer from floaters, some black spots and shadows will appear in front of their eyes.

The only difference was that what was floating before his eyes were blood-red flowers.

"hiss!"

"It hurts!"

But soon after, Lin Yang realized that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.

Because his eyes began to hurt severely.

This made him close his eyes subconsciously.

But after closing his eyes, the blood-red flowers not only did not disappear from his sight, but flashed more frequently in the darkness.

"What exactly is this?"

Lin Yang endured the severe pain and injected the power of life into his eyes in an attempt to relieve the pain.

I was extremely confused.

Why did I suddenly see this blood-red flower, and it kept repeating on a loop?

"It was caused by the 'realm'. What is the meaning of this blood-colored flower?"

While relieving his eye pain, Lin Yang also started thinking seriously.

Based on his understanding of the "realm", anything related to this thing is nothing ordinary.

This blood-colored flower appeared after he called upon the power of "realm".

Even if it just repeats over and over again for a few seconds, it must have some extraordinary meaning.

Lin Yang felt that if he could grasp the meaning of the cyclical appearance of the blood-colored flowers, he might gain some unexpected benefits.

But, I have no clue at the moment.

suddenly.

"Host, this system has detected that you have just entered a special spiritual flash state. This is your first time entering this state. Do you need more specific guidance?"

The system suddenly made a sound.

This made Lin Yang stunned for a moment.

Flash state?
Guidance?

"System, please explain clearly."

Lin Yang closed his eyes and vaguely understood something in his heart.

"Host, you can currently understand the spiritual flash state as a state of near enlightenment when facing a certain method of Tao."

"In this state, your understanding and perception of the means of Tao will be greatly enhanced."

The system explained it.

But these words caused a storm in Lin Yang's heart.

"System, what did you say?"

“Is this the state of comprehension of the means of Tao?!” “???”

Lin Yang was extremely shocked.

The means of Tao.

That is the Dao realm, at least one has to be in the Dao transformation realm to master it!

That is the means of Tao.

It’s not a Taoist method!

There is only one word difference between the means of Tao rhyme and the means of Tao.

But in fact, they are two completely different things.

The rhyme of Tao is the product extracted from the truly complete Tao.

There is only some rhythmic flavor of the complete Tao.

Although by comprehending the rhythm of Tao, one can feel the existence of "Tao" better and easier, and enhance the true perception of "Tao".

But the word "yun" explains that what is obtained by comprehending the rhyme of Tao is only a low-level product of "Tao".

It's like two similar things, one is a high-end version and the other is a regular version.

Even if the ordinary version is similar to the high-end version, it is only a resemblance in spirit, and it is not the true version of the high-end version!

The existence of Tao rhyme is just a shortcut to comprehend the complete Tao.

The means of Dao Yun are also means contained in the complete Dao.

But in terms of power, it is still a level lower than the real means of Tao.

And the true means of Tao.

That is something that can only be mastered after mastering the complete Tao.

Only when you reach the state of transformation, you can master the complete Tao!
But now...

What does the system say?

Is he facing the state of understanding of the means of Tao?
?

Are you sure this isn't a joke?

How could he possibly sense the existence of the Dao's means? !
In other words, he is not qualified enough to feel the power of the complete Tao now!
Lin Yang was confused.

But soon, he understood.

"Is it a world?"

"That blood-colored flower was created by the power of the "realm"!"

"Is there still the means of the Tao hidden in this world? Is there a power that can allow people to directly see the 'means of the Tao'?"

"That blood-colored flower, could it be the evolution of the Dao's means?"

Lin Yang was not only confused, but also trembling with fear!
This world, isn't it a bit too abnormal?
"Host, you may need more precise guidance now. This opportunity to comprehend the means of the Tao is rare. This system recommends that you unlock the Spirit Flash of All Worlds, enter the Land of Spirit Flash, and strengthen your understanding of the means of the Tao."

"If successful, the host will have a great chance of mastering a method of Tao in advance."

The system gives suggestions directly.

"The Flash of All Worlds?"

Hearing these four words, Lin Yang's eyes condensed and he said in shock:
“After unlocking the Myriad Worlds Spiritual Flash, could it be that the Spiritual Flash Land we went to is a place where we can feel the power of the Tao?”

He was shocked again.

The Myriad Worlds Spirit Flash I got before is actually so useful? !
"Host, you can understand this for now. Please make a decision quickly. This system has detected that your spiritual flash state is gradually disappearing!"

The system started to urge him on.

Obviously, being able to feel the means of Tao is indeed a very, very rare opportunity.

The system was a little anxious.

Of course, Lin Yang agreed to unlock it without hesitation!
joke!

This is an opportunity to comprehend the means of Tao!

Not to mention 50 billion, even if you bet your entire fortune on it it would be worth it!

When he first obtained the Spirit Flash of All Worlds and heard the conditions for unlocking it, he thought the price was a bit too expensive and outrageous.

But now, I know the value of the Land of Spiritual Flash.

Lin Yang felt that even adding another zero would not be too much!
Of course, then again, if he really added a zero, he couldn't afford it...

"Okay, host, the Myriad Worlds Spirit Flash has been unlocked. Please be careful. You can only stay in the Spirit Flash Land for no more than thirty seconds. After thirty seconds, you will be immediately transported out. Please cherish your time!"

As the system spoke, a force enveloped Lin Yang.

"You can only stay for thirty seconds?"

Lin Yang was stunned.

Although I know the value of the Spiritual Flash Land, but I can only stay here for 30 seconds...

“It’s a great place indeed!!”

Lin Yang expressed such emotion a second before being teleported.

He could only say that the Land of Spiritual Flash was indeed a good place. He spent billions of national treasures but could only stay there for thirty seconds each time!

Just from the comparison between price and length of stay, it can be seen that the Land of Spiritual Flash is indeed precious!

Swish.

As his eyes blurred, Lin Yang didn't even have time to see clearly what this spiritual place looked like.

The blood-red flowers that were constantly circulating before my eyes once again enlarged in the darkness...

In an instant, thousands of cycles passed.

Lin Yang's eyes also began to hurt, but this time he forced himself to hold it back, even using his fingers to prop up his eyelids, not daring to close his eyes.

There are only thirty seconds left, and he must seize every second!
blood.

It also flowed out of his eyes unconsciously.

But Lin Yang still didn't dare to close his eyes.

One second, five seconds...

ten seconds...

Twenty seconds...

Thirty seconds passes in a flash.

hum.

When the thirty seconds were up, Lin Yang's head buzzed again, the darkness in front of him disappeared and shattered, and he saw the light again.

He couldn't hold on any longer and closed his eyes instantly.

The stinging pain in my eyes spread throughout my body.

Even the power of life characteristics is difficult to alleviate.

But at this moment, Lin Yang's heart was excited!

Because, in the last few seconds, he felt the mysterious existence of the Tao!

laugh!
Lin Yang pointed his finger, and a transparent little flower bud condensed on his fingertip.

This transparent little flower looks very different from the blood-colored flower in terms of shape, momentum, and degree of mystery.

To describe it, the blood-red flower is like the noble king of flowers, while the transparent little flower is like an unknown wild flower on the roadside, exuding a "cheap" feeling.

But Lin Yang was excited.

Because, this is a flower of Tao!

Although it doesn't look very good now, it is a means that can grow as his strength increases and his understanding of the Tao deepens!

Now this transparent flower can be said to be a low-level form of the blood-colored flower. One day, this transparent flower will be able to reach that form, or even be stronger.

"go with!"

Then, Lin Yang pointed his finger, and the small transparent flower bloomed slightly and disappeared into the void of the courtyard.

buzzing.

In an instant, cracks appeared in space, and there were even signs of a large-scale collapse.

"What a powerful force!"

Lin Yang couldn't help but be shocked.

The space of Jingxu Realm is so stable.

Previously, even if he had integrated the power of "realm", it was difficult for him to cut a crack in space, let alone collapse space.

But now, this transparent little flower just released its power casually and caused this phenomenon.

It’s really a bit too strong!

Lin Yang even found it difficult to estimate what kind of damage this transparent little flower's attack could cause to a strong man in the Breaking Realm.

Anyway, it’s certain to be a flash sale.

"too strong!"

Lin Yang was very surprised.

A random attack from this transparent little flower was more powerful than his current full-strength attack.

“Even if I am not at the third level now, with the power of this method, I will definitely have no problem killing the leader of the Bones and Flowers!”

At this moment, Lin Yang also realized what it meant to see a ray of hope after a dark tunnel.

I was just worried that the "realm" had sucked away my resources and I couldn't do anything about the White Bones Flower.

But in the blink of an eye, he possessed a power even stronger than the third level he had reached.

How can anyone not be happy about this?

"but……"

"It's powerful, but it also consumes a lot of energy. One strike consumes about 80% to 90% of my energy reserves."

"You can only use it as a trump card. Either you kill the opponent with one strike, or you will be the one to die."

After being happy for a while, Lin Yang quickly suppressed his emotions.

The power of this transparent little flower is incredibly strong, but its consumption is also very high.

Any random attack would consume at least 80% to 90% of his strength.

That is to say, he can only launch one attack in his full strength now. If he cannot kill the enemy with one strike, he himself will be in danger.

"With such strong power, it's normal for the consumption to be a little high. Let's go back and find a way to more accurately control the power consumption of this little flower. Maybe we can reduce the consumption."

Lin Yang quickly calmed down. The power of the transparent flower was already so strong, so a higher cost of consumption was acceptable.

Then, he began to absorb the remaining resources to recover.

He planned to wait until he recovered to see what kind of power the little flower would have if he released 50% of his strength.

After all, he couldn't just let this thing drain away 90% of his strength every time he attacked. That would be too dangerous.

While absorbing resources to restore his condition, Lin Yang also thought about it and gave this method a name.

"The middle path of the world, the flower of the world."

"Let's call this flower 'Flower in the World'."

This is understood from the "realm".

Lin Yang thought it was reasonable to name it "Flower in the World".

Half a day later.

His condition has been restored.

Then, he prepared to gather the power of the flowers in the world again to test the power.

but--

boom!
Two black lights suddenly burst out from the courtyard and hit Lin Yang directly!
"Assassination attack?!"

Lin Yang's face darkened.

Someone actually wanted to assassinate him in the city?
"Lin Yang, die!"

next second.

Without giving Lin Yang much time to think, the violent force instantly filled the entire courtyard.

At the same time, a cold voice sounded.

buzzing.

The power of the magic circle also pressed into the courtyard, and combined with the violent force to suppress Lin Yang.

Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat: "The power of the magic circle?"

People from the City Lord's Mansion actually attacked him in the city? !
