Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 189 The Truth of the World

After the eunuchs opened the wooden boxes, Eunuch Wang asked Xie Shen, "Your Highness, are these materials enough?"

Xie Shen glanced at the three wooden boxes and said, "The earth, wood, gold and stone used for refining tools are indeed enough."

"But the medicinal materials used in alchemy are consumables. If we only have that one box, it will run out sooner or later."

“So we’ll have to add more later.”

Perhaps it was to shock everyone present.

Xie Shen was halfway through his words when he suddenly took out a jade slip from the storage bag on his waist like a magic trick in front of everyone present.

He placed the jade slip on his forehead and copied some knowledge about alchemy and herb cultivation into it.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Shen waved his hand.

As he moved, the jade slip in his hand floated in the air and slowly flew in front of the eunuch Wang.

This moment.

After seeing Xie Shen's magical power of 'controlling objects through the air', the more than 500 young men and women on the open ground all showed shocked expressions.

They either looked closely at the surroundings, trying to find flaws in Xie Shen's "magic tricks".

Or he would just stand there in a daze, trying hard to recall the movements that Xie Shen made when he displayed his magical powers just now.

of course.

Some people also whispered about it with their companions.

Various manifestations,
On the open ground.

After receiving Xie Shen's jade slip, Eunuch Wang was stunned and said, "Your Highness, what is this jade slip you gave me?"

"This is the recipe for the elixir." Xie Shen said calmly, "Just stick the jade slip on your forehead and you can read the contents."

"Go find a group of trustworthy people, and then follow the instructions on the jade slip to refine 50 to 60 furnaces of Qi Gathering Pills for me."

——Qi Gathering Pills are commonly used by monks in the Qi training stage. They can be used to restore spiritual energy.

Each furnace of this medicine can produce ten pills.

More than fifty furnaces together make just over five hundred pills in total.

If it were divided equally among the more than 500 prospective monks, there would be exactly one for each person.

Although the elixir is few,

But those more than 500 prospective cultivators are, after all, the best seeds of cultivation picked from hundreds.

Therefore, even if he only got one Qi Gathering Pill, it would be enough to help him cross the threshold of cultivation.

Under the gazes of countless people, Eunuch Wang, with a hint of curiosity, stuck the jade slip on his forehead according to the method described by Xie Shen.

next second.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

After a few seconds, he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, as if he had grasped all the contents of the jade slip.

"Your Highness."

Eunuch Wang asked Xie Shen for instructions, "I have written down all the contents of this jade slip."

"May I ask if this jade slip is OK?"

Xie knew what Eunuch Wang was thinking.

——Eunuch Wang most likely wanted to bring the jade slip back to the palace to show it to the emperor after witnessing its magic.

Slaves and servants often think of their masters first when they receive benefits.

This is normal.

Xie Shen didn't care about this.

He then waved his hand and said, "Take the jade slip with you if you want. Also, remember to leave a few of the Qi Gathering Pills I just asked you to refine for the Emperor."

"Of course." Eunuch Wang responded quickly.

"Oh, right."

I saw Eunuch Wang was about to leave.

Xie Shen hurriedly took out another blank jade slip and copied the "Honghuang Swallowing Heaven Art" technique into it.

He ordered: "This jade slip contains a cultivation method."

"You go and arrange for some personnel to copy more than 500 copies, and then distribute them to those who have joined the army to practice as soon as possible."

"Hey." Eunuch Wang responded again.

Seeing that Xie Shen stopped talking, he finally said, "If Your Highness has no other instructions, I will take my leave now."

Say it.

He left Shanhanju with a group of eunuchs.
...

At the same time.

In a dark secret room in the Beiliang capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The Imperial Master held a candle in his hand and carefully checked every corner of the secret room.

After making sure that there was no one around, he suddenly stretched out his hand, tapped several times in the air, and whispered the word "confirm".

next second.

As he moved, a 3D projection appeared out of thin air in front of the national teacher.

The image shows a man with a shaved head and wearing modern clothes.

With a hint of confusion in his tone, he asked the Imperial Master, "Why are you contacting me at this time? Is there something urgent going on?"

The Imperial Master said respectfully, "Your Excellency, it was the Great Zhou Kingdom's Great Prince Yan Biao. He has been a little bit abnormal recently."

"Speak." The bald man's response was concise and clear.

The Imperial Master explained, “Not long ago, when the eldest prince was receiving the coming-of-age ceremony in the court, he suddenly refused to offer sacrifices for no apparent reason.”

"Even when the emperor threatened to kill him, he never gave in."

"This is obviously not normal."

"Out of curiosity, I tried to use my identification skill on the First Prince."

"turn out"

Having said this, the Imperial Master suddenly paused.

The bald man became impatient.

He said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Why are you keeping me in suspense again? Your old habit has come back again, right? If you have something to say, just finish it!"

After hearing this, the Imperial Master said hurriedly, "After activating the appraisal skill, I found that the eldest prince's panel data, such as strength, speed, and physique, are all around 10 points. These are not much different from ordinary people around years old."

"But only spiritual power."

The Imperial Master slowed down his speech and emphasized, "The eldest prince's spiritual power value has reached a terrifying 2200 points."

“It’s more than 200 times that of an average person.”

"This is so abnormal."

The Imperial Master continued, “At first, I suspected that there was something wrong with the system I was bound to.”

"So I reloaded the system and found an excuse to meet with the Crown Prince again that night."

"But the result is"

"Even though I have refreshed the system and reactivated the identification skill on the eldest prince."

"But on the data panel of the eldest prince, the column of his mental strength still shows a value of 2200 points."

"He seemed"

"He really has such high mental power!"

"That's strange." The bald man was surprised when he heard this: "Although, people's mental strength will gradually become stronger as they grow older."

"But there is a limit to this enhancement."

"Generally speaking, the mental strength of a newborn baby should be around 1 point."

"For children aged 4-5, it is 3-4 points."

"When you are around 20 years old, it can increase to around 10 points."

"But after that, the growth of mental strength began to slow down."

The bald man continued, "Even for humans like us who have been bound to the system and whose life spans have been greatly extended."

"Its mental strength can only increase slightly when it breaks through the lifespan limit of 120 years."

“It eventually reached around 50.”

"This is the highest that humans can achieve."

"In the future, even if you can live to 200 or even 300 years old, your mental strength will not change much."

"Let alone 2200 points of mental strength, even 220 points is impossible to reach."

In the secret room.

After hearing this, the Imperial Master frowned and said, "Of course I understand this principle, but the eldest prince's spiritual power is really that high."

"I had suspected before that he might be someone from Heaven." "But after probing him with words, I found that he didn't seem to know anything about Heaven."

"He is really just a native of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

“So I thought”

The national teacher continued: "After all, it is still very rare to find someone like him whose spiritual power has reached 2200 points."

"Such a person will be able to maximize the capabilities of the system."

"Maybe it can be used by adults."

"That's why I came to ask for your advice, sir."

"You did a good job." The bald man first affirmed the national teacher's caution.

He praised: "Being able to report these situations to me at the first time is worthy of praise."

"Nothing"

The bald man continued his analysis.

"Although the eldest prince is gifted and his mental strength is far stronger than that of ordinary people."

"But he is just a native of the Great Zhou Kingdom, a consumable who doesn't even have a system."

"If you want to recruit him for your own use, you must first help him bind to the appropriate system."

“But the problem is.”

The bald man said helplessly: "The management of the Heavenly Court has become increasingly strict recently. It is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven to get the system."

"so."

"If I can really get the system again, then I will naturally recruit the eldest prince as my own."

"This is definitely the best."

"If we can't get it, then all plans will remain the same."

"Understand?"

When talking about this, a hint of fatigue could be clearly heard in the bald man's tone.

Finally, he said to the Imperial Master, "Alright, no more talking. I have a lot of things to do here, so I'll hang up first."

"Please do as you please, sir." The Imperial Master responded quickly.

As soon as he said this, the 3D projection of the bald man quickly disappeared in the secret room.
...

time flies.

Since Eunuch Wang selected more than 500 prospective practitioners and sent them to Shanhanju Prison, Xie Shen has been preaching and teaching in the prison every day.

In this way, nearly three months passed in the blink of an eye.

period.

With their extraordinary qualifications and talents, nearly 100 people have successively crossed the threshold of cultivation after swallowing the Qi Gathering Pill.

As for the others that failed to break through.
In order to prevent the news of their practice from leaking out, those people will be forced to stay in Shanhanju Prison until the practice team is formed.

In fact, normally speaking, Xie Shen didn't need to eliminate those 400 people.

After all, those people's qualifications and talents are indeed quite good.

But unfortunately, there is no supernatural power in this world.

If one wants to practice cultivation, one can only rely on elixirs to build up the spiritual power in the body, which leads to an extreme shortage of resources for cultivation.

According to Xie Shen's estimation.

Even if the whole country's strength is deployed and all costs are spared, in the end only about a hundred foundation-building cultivators can be trained.

If you are lucky, maybe one or two Jindan stage cultivators will appear.

This is already the operational limit.

...

In this way, after eliminating nearly 400 people, Xie Shen continued to preach and spread the Dharma.

March and March again.

Before I knew it, half a year had passed.

After more than half a year of hard training, Xie Shen's cultivation level was successfully improved from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.

As for the more than 100 disciples who followed him in practicing, they all broke through from the early stage of Qi training to the middle and even late stages of Qi training.

There are also more than 10 people who broke through to the foundation-building stage using only a small amount of resources without taking the foundation-building pill.

This cultivation speed is even comparable to Deng Bin's.

But this is normal.

After all, these people were selected by the Great Zhou court from thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

And finally, after a second round of screening, we have the current 100 or so people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are more than 100 people in the foundation-building stage among these 10 people.

During these people's cultivation.

In addition to the Great Zhou Dynasty court helping to refine elixirs and assisting practitioners in breaking through the realm.

Xie Shen also used the earth, wood, gold and stone collected from all over the Great Zhou Kingdom to refine more than ten flying swords, which he equipped to the disciples who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Now we are preparing our troops and horses.

It's time to fly up to the sky and take a look at the true appearance of heaven.

...

Shanhanju is in prison.

After half a year of hard training.

The emperor, who had already reached the initial stage of Qi training, was now looking excitedly at the cultivators including Xie Shen who had gathered in the open space.

He called out to his generals, "So, who among you is willing to be the vanguard and be the first to fly up to the sky to explore the truth of the heavenly palace?"

Because Xie Shen has given the order.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy and to avoid being noticed by the immortals in heaven, no one is allowed to fly in a flying vehicle without permission.

Anyone who disobeys the order shall have his entire cultivation abolished.

Therefore, among the disciples who practiced with Xie Shen, nearly ten of them have broken through to the foundation-building stage.

But from beginning to end, no one has ever really flown into the sky.

Now that they have the opportunity to fly up to the sky and take a look, even if there are dangers, these people are rushing to be the first and have expressed their willingness to be the vanguard.

The emperor was delighted to see everyone so enthusiastic.

He pointed to one of them and said, "Zheng Yong, this is you. Go to heaven and find out for us."

"I accept the decree!"

On the open ground.

Seeing the emperor calling on his generals, Zheng Yong responded and without hesitation summoned his flying sword and flew into the sky.

...

Time passed by minute by minute.

Xie Shen and others waited on the ground for several hours, but there was no sign of Zheng Yong.

In desperation.

The emperor had no choice but to dispatch another cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage to provide support.

After learning from Zheng Yong’s previous experience, the cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage did not dare to fly too high.

He flew in the air for only two circles before quickly landing on the ground and said he had not seen any trace of Zheng Yong.

Everyone is afraid of death.

Especially after seeing a companion get into trouble.

It is natural for the monk to be so cautious and not dare to fly too high.

The emperor had met Xie Shen, so it was difficult to force him.

In this way, everyone could only wait there from noon until dusk, before they saw Zheng Yong flying down from the air with his sword.

Seeing Zheng Yong return, the emperor hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it? What did you see in the sky?"

I don’t know what Zheng Yong encountered or saw in the sky.

After his trip to heaven, he felt as if his soul had been taken away.

His facial expression was dull, and he kept repeating one sentence: "I saw it."

"This world is completely fake. We don't even have bodies."

"You must not go out!"

As he spoke, a large pool of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth.

The whole person fell to the ground and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
