Chapter 195: A Century of Changes, the Age of Discovery
The place where corpses are guarded is the bright moon.

In the crater, Liang Yue paced back and forth, with Baiyun Emperor Xiang’s real cloud chariot beside him.

"Is it feasible to practice the Moon Form Refining?"

Liang Yue was a little hesitant.

Moon body refining is 100% safe, but there is a fatal problem, which is that it is difficult to resist the external environment, especially the harsh lunar environment.

The living conditions here are not good. Even Liang Yue's physical body would find it difficult to survive for a long time in this scene.

The most dangerous thing for Earth Form Refining is humans, while the most dangerous thing for Moon Form Refining is meteorites from outer space.

In comparison, the latter is undoubtedly the most dangerous.

After all, the moon has no atmosphere, and the power of falling meteorites is extremely strong. If they damage the cloud car itself and cause the small world to collapse, I will die silently and will never have a chance to turn over.

"The Earth, right? The development of the moon hasn't reached that stage yet."

The corpse-transmigrating immortal is good in everything and does not need to bother with cultivation. The most frightening thing is encountering unpredictable dangers while guarding the corpse and refining the body.

This is God's will, sometimes it is a man-made disaster.

Many corpse-reincarnation immortals failed due to insufficient preparation.

Thinking of this, Liang Yue turned his head to look at the Yaochi and the pyramid inside the crater.

"This thing stopped moving and continued to emit its essence into the human world."

In a period of one hundred and eighty years, at least four or five people were frozen. They are the cornerstone of the future human race.

Whoosh!
Liang Yue rode on the cloud and returned to Earth.

In the South China Sea, a cloud chariot descended from the sky.

boom!
It splashed up waves hundreds of feet high, and under its own pressure, it gradually sank into the depths of the sea and burrowed into the soil.

In the cave world, under the Bodhi tree.

Liang Yue did not rush to fall asleep, but took out his double pupils and used true fire to refine his blood.

The double pupils condensed into two drops of purple blood.

Whoosh!
Blood shot into Liang Yue's pupils.

"Ahhh!!"

Liang Yue snorted coldly, covered his eyes, tears and blood flowing out.

The scorching energy instantly blinded his eyes, and at the same time continued to absorb the Qi and blood in his body, causing a large amount of true Qi to be lost.

This is the consequence of absorbing powerful blood. Whether it is double pupils or the sun, moon, and heaven, they all have terrifying exclusivity, and the rarer the blood, the more so.

The double pupil's bloodline instantly devoured the three-eye bloodline, and from then on, the three-eye's ability to see through everything, farsightedness, and microscopic vision belonged to the double pupil.

Liang Yue did not fall asleep in a hurry, but took out the Qingluan inner elixir, held it in his arms, and dripped his essence and blood into it.

Wow! !

With his vitality devoured twice, Liang Yue instantly became skin and bones, gasping for breath, as if he would die at the next moment.

Whoosh!
The whole person entered the Heaven of Separation and Sorrow.

The dim Lihentian welcomed its master again.

During the retreat, Liang Yue specifically took the key to Lihentian, the Qin Wang Mirror.

This is done to prevent others from using the Qin Wang Mirror to enter Lihentian.

Some things must be adequately defended. There are evil spirits guarding outside, and you also have to think about what to do if the evil spirits gain intelligence and don't listen to you?

One hundred and eighty years, there are too many variables.

Whether they are enemies or our own people, it is not that we do not trust them, but we try to consider all factors completely and cannot completely trust people's hearts.

“Let’s go!!”

Liang Yue closed his eyes, rode a crane to the west, and the jade silkworm emitted a mysterious light that enveloped his body while his soul ascended into the dark void.

Refining the body for immortality, Taiyi guards the corpse.

In 1072 AD, Liang Yue Taiyi guarded the corpse and was reborn.

The fourth world ends.

People today are gradually passing away, and contemporary stories are eventually recorded in history books. No one cares about the joys and sorrows of the ancients, and the lives of famous people and talents are just recorded in a few lines of text.

No one can escape the law that death is like the extinguishing of a light.

The human-immortal era is still developing, and many brilliant ideas will always emerge.

With the communication between the East and the West, inner alchemy technology was also combined with local witchcraft and bloodline to form a new Taoist method.

Commercial exchanges strengthen communication between different places, enable people to understand overseas landscapes, and arouse curiosity about the unknown ocean.

Sixty years have passed since Liang Yue's death.

The Song Dynasty was in decline. The inequality between the rich and the poor and the distribution of land have always been the eternal problems of centralized dynasties.

The imperial court lost a certain amount of power, and private capital began to become active.

Ambitious Taoists began to step onto the political stage, and they began to explore the outside world in their desire for magical skills and ancient immortal relics.

"There are gods overseas, seek them from the ocean!!"

This generation of Shenxiao Leifu Grand Master Bai Yuchan announced to the world.

In an instant, the era of sailing to the sea in search of immortality began, and ship technology was greatly enhanced.

One hundred years after Liang Yue's death, the State of Song was established 243 years ago.

The gap between the rich and the poor widened further, refugees emerged everywhere, the princes in the northern desert were ready to break away from the central court, and the Western Regions were out of the court's control.

After years of sailing and trade, the immortals were not found, but a large number of people became rich, and Taoists became synonymous with wealthy men.

Huashan.

An old Taoist with white hair and a crane-like face climbed to the top of the mountain.

Beautiful mountains and rivers, abundant resources.

Observing the mountains and rivers with the art of qigong, one can only see the faint trace of blood and energy, which is a sign of war.

The old Taoist's name is Wang Chongyang. He is the contemporary successor of the Mayi School. Standing behind him is his young disciple Qiu Chuji.

"Master, is chaos in the world inevitable?" Qiu Chuji asked.

"It is inevitable. Dong Wanggong once said that the succession of dynasties is the right path. The royal family has enjoyed the country for two or three hundred years, and it is time to return it to the world."

Time is merciless. There is no eternal dynasty or eternal family in the world.

A powerful country like the Liang family of Penglai was inevitably doomed to a great loss of power, with government affairs rotated among different factions, and wars often broke out during the power transition.

A small country with few people can be dealt with in this way, but a big country cannot.

A three-hundred-year reshuffle is the fate of the Central Plains dynasties.

Clearing out the old blood and welcoming the new life is a normal change of dynasties.

"As long as barbarism does not replace civilization, what is the difference between the Emperor of the Zhao family and the Li family, the Yang family, and the Sima family? All we can do is to reduce the killing."

Wang Chongyang looked at the mountains, rivers and land.

In this vast land, not an inch belongs to the common people.

"The country should not be like this. Chuji... I, the master, plan to set up a new sect, a sect that "harmonizes the three religions, understands the mind and sees the nature, and is the only one that is true", where Taoists devote themselves to meditation and prohibit marriage."

In today's world where practicing Taoism is extravagant, Wang Chongyang intends to set things right.

"Master, what if they refuse?"

"kill!"

Wang Chongyang took out a handful of soybeans. The soybeans fell to the ground, smoke rose, and turned into a murderous and mighty army.

This year, Taoism launched a vigorous self-cleansing campaign, and the guardian soldiers of the Great Heavenly Master Wang Chongyang frightened everyone.

Soon, the Quanzhen Sect unified the north, and the Taoist atmosphere suddenly became clear and returned to its original state.

One hundred and twenty years after Liang Yue's death.

Liu Muzhen of the northern desert unified the desert and established the Yuan Dynasty.

Liu Muzhen won battle after battle, and the Song Dynasty was defeated step by step.

Eventually, a pattern of confrontation between the North and the South was formed.

The confrontation lasted about thirty years. The Yuan army was powerful, and the South used firearms and naval warfare, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Technology flowed out to Western countries, and Western maritime nations began to rise. Coupled with years of war, Han Chinese went to Southeast Asia and established countries overseas, or formed large island groups.

One hundred and sixty years after Liang Yue's death, due to the corruption and internal strife of the Southern Song regime, the regime shrank to the southeast, and the Chinese people were in danger.

In this year, the common people in Huaiyou revolted.

"Expel the barbarians and restore the Central Plains!!"

Zhu Chongyang, a Han Chinese Taoist priest, changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang, vowed to destroy the Yuan invasion, and led a major counterattack.

After six years of war, he unified the north from the south, attacked from both land and sea, captured the Yuan capital, completed the unification cause, and ended the confrontation between the north and the south that lasted for more than 40 years.

In 1238, the Ming Dynasty was established, with the reign title Hongwu.

The emperor, then 45 years old, established his capital in Jiankang.

"To stabilize the desert, make Dadu your capital; to conquer Southeast Asia, make Jiankang your capital."

This decision officially opened the Age of Discovery.
