I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 144 Coincidence or Brilliance?

Five days later, a young man wearing a short-sleeved shirt, shorts and sunglasses was taking a selfie with his mobile phone.

He smiled brightly, and behind him were lush forests and a magnificent Taoist temple.

The sun is particularly strong today, and the temperature outside has reached over 30 degrees, but it still can't stop people's enthusiasm.

Around him, people were constantly coming and going up and down the mountain.

"How about posting on WeChat Moments? It's been over a year since I last posted."

Since graduating from college, Xia Yuan has rarely posted on WeChat Moments.

He looked through the records and found only a few, less than ten in total in five years.

The most recent one was in January last year, so it has been a year and a half now.

Oh, that time I was lucky enough to win the first prize at the company’s annual meeting, a mobile phone worth more than 5,000 yuan.

That was also the most glorious moment in his life. He was so excited that he posted a message on WeChat Moments to celebrate.

However, that incident seemed to have used up all my luck. Within a few months, the company encountered many problems and I didn't get paid for several months in a row.

In the end, the company went bankrupt and I almost ended up in jail.

I don’t know if this counts as paying off a debt.

But the price was a bit too high. I only won a little over 5,000, and in the end I only got a little over 4,000 after selling it.

Not only did I lose my job, but I also lost several months' salary.

Therefore, unexpected wealth is not desirable. What you gain from one place will inevitably be taken away from you from another place, and it will be taken away even more.

[There is always a little bit of wind in the world, filling my hundreds and hundreds of dreams]

[Half a year after leaving my job, I took my remaining savings and went on a spontaneous trip]

[Anyone with a dream is great, my goal is the stars and the sea]

The copywriting is very showy.

Add the selfie just now and the IP address, and you have all the elements.

Get it!

There is always a group of people in the circle of friends who post these every day.

Xia Yuan used to feel speechless. What was there to post? And he posted it several times a day. It was purely for showing off.

Is this interesting?

These days, it seems like no one has ever gone out to have fun.

Well, now, he feels that posting on Moments doesn’t feel bad.

Despise him, understand him, envy him, and finally become him.

No one can escape the law of true fragrance.

To put it bluntly, when you are miserable, you definitely don’t want to share it with others.

Only when you have something worth showing off will you want to share it, and you can get the greatest satisfaction by making others envy you.

This is human nature.

But Xia Yuan is definitely not that superficial.

Well, he thinks so.

Although I went out to travel, didn’t I also say that I don’t have much savings?
This way you won't offend others.

Soon, several comments appeared below.

[Everyone is working quietly, but you're the only one traveling to stand out?]

[Do you think you're funny? Okay, I admit you did make me laugh. Thank you.]

Talking about dreams just because you're traveling? That's ridiculous!

[Don’t borrow from me when you run out of money. I’ve blocked you. Please don’t bother me.]

These comments were all posted by a few close friends in the group, and he simply chose to ignore them. These people never had anything good to say.

[I think you hired a professional team to photoshop this photo, hahaha]

The message below was sent by a female classmate from junior high school. Xia Yuan only knew her name and hadn't seen her for many years.

"..."

After reading it, Xia Yuan was very upset. Why did the style of his post on WeChat Moments look so wrong?

Others are full of praise, envy, and encouragement, but when it comes to me, it’s all negative comments.

There are actually people saying that the picture is photoshopped?

It's simply insulting.

"Oh, jealousy, envy."

Putting away his phone, Xia Yuan decided not to bother with these people.

Then he continued walking up the mountain with the crowd.

This place is Qingcheng Mountain, one of the ancestral mountains of Taoism.

In the few days since he came to Shuwang City, he had almost visited the entire city and of course eaten a lot of delicious food.

I have to say, the hotpot here does taste better than the one in Jiangcheng.

These days are probably the most relaxing time for him in the past year.

Apart from the necessary practice every day, the rest of the time is spent traveling and enjoying the scenery. It can be said that his life is very rich.

Qingcheng Mountain is also the last stop. After visiting here, he is ready to continue a new journey.

Xia Yuan didn't come here just for sightseeing, he also wanted to see if there was anything that interested him.

For example, some Taoist practice texts, or whether there are some extraordinary powers.

After all, since ancient times, the myths of Kyushu have inevitably been related to Taoism.

Many of these deeds have added a lot of mythological color to this.

As one of the ancestral mountains, Qingcheng Mountain has a history of thousands of years.

Well, now this place has become a tourist attraction, with countless people coming and going every day.

He had also investigated along the way, and without exception, they were all ordinary people, including the Taoist priests.

Xia Yuan was not too disappointed, as all this was actually within his expectations.

In a world where there is no source energy, it is almost impossible to find another extraordinary being unless there is a real immortal cultivator.

But in his eyes, even if there were immortal cultivators, the spells they cast certainly could not be created out of thin air; they must require energy to support them.

He had also read many ancient books some time ago, but no matter which one, they all recorded a substance called "Qi".

It explains in detail that "Qi" is a manifestation of energy, but it is different from the energy we usually talk about.

The energy represented by "Qi" runs through all life.

Just as it is recorded in it, Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to nine, and nine gives birth to all things. All the energy between heaven and earth comes together in one place, which is our most primitive and original cosmic energy - Qi!

The ancients also needed the help of this "Qi" if they wanted to practice cultivation.

In Xia Yuan's view, the "Qi" imagined by the ancients is essentially source energy.

Since there is no source energy, even if the so-called method of cultivating immortals can really make one become an immortal, it is completely meaningless.

Naturally, there can be no extraordinary people.

But this is exactly what surprised Xia Yuan.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if it’s really amazing.

The description of this "Qi" has a lot in common with the role of source energy in the panel.

The ancients more than two thousand years ago were able to infer the existence of similar source energy, and even deduced the method of cultivating immortals out of thin air.

This is not much inferior to the ancestor of the mythological era recorded in the panel.

Even more so.

All they lack is source energy.

A pity, sigh.

After all, there is no source energy on Earth.

At that time, humans could only imagine and had no idea of ​​the full picture of source energy.

The place where they live prevents them from embarking on a completely new path, which was destined from the beginning.

If source energy really existed at that time, the human race on Earth might have been able to use it to further improve their cultivation methods, thus ushering in another mythological era belonging to the human race.

This is why Xia Yuan is willing to believe in the wisdom of future generations.

Even if one day the panel really can't help him continue to improve, he won't worry too much.

As long as you provide the source crystal, there will definitely be others who can deduce the cultivation method.

Not only can they deduce subsequent cultivation methods, they can also deduce cultivation methods that are better than the awakening method. Didn't the human race in the later period of the mythological era also deduce better cultivation methods?

Xia Yuan always believed it.

Since the human race more than two thousand years ago was able to deduce the cultivation method without the existence of source energy.

It makes no sense that future generations, armed with the wisdom of their ancestors, would be unable to accomplish this feat.

But all of this must be based on source energy, and now he is the only one on the entire earth who can create a small amount of source energy.

To accomplish all this, we need his help.

Xia Yuan had no intention of leading the human race to transcendence. He did all this just to serve himself.

He admitted that he was not that great.

In the final analysis, it is the mentality of a petty citizen who will not do anything that is not beneficial to himself.

The same is true for deducing the exercises, in the end the only one who benefits is actually yourself.

After all, without source energy, it’s useless even if others deduce the skills.

Especially after reaching the second stage of Transmigration, once the source of energy is lost, the powerful body will become a burden.

It can be said that under the current circumstances, he is the only one among the human race who can grow stronger without hindrance.

After this period of time, he can be 100% sure that there is really no trace of source energy on Earth.

Even more than Earth.

Xia Yuan felt that even this universe was like this.

The Earth is located in this universe and is not separated from the universe. It doesn't make sense that it exists in the universe but not on the Earth.

It only means that this is the law of the universe, and it does not allow source energy to exist.

The mythological era recorded in the panel is either fictitious or there is another universe.

But since this universe does not allow source energy to exist, what about my own panel?

Can it override the laws of the universe?
"No, the panel is definitely not capable of this."

Xia Yuan quickly rejected this idea.

If the panel can do this, there is no need for it to appear on oneself, and it can actively modify the rules of the universe.

It’s messy, it’s too messy.

He just felt that his thoughts were completely confused.

Connecting the previous speculations together, I found that many ideas are contradictory.

Xia Yuan rubbed his head with a headache.

He didn't care much about the other issues, after all, they had little to do with him.

Except source energy.

Yes, he does have a panel to provide source crystals.

But it’s not a problem to rely on the source crystals condensed by the panel to recover!

Those are all white source points. Don’t you need to add some yourself?

"Could it be that there really is no source energy in our universe?"

Xia Yuan looked worried, but didn't dare to think too much.

I can only answer this question when I become stronger and go to the universe to check it out myself.

……

It was getting dark, and there was less than an hour left before the scenic spot closed.

Tourists coming and going also walked down the mountain one after another.

Xia Yuan had already separated from the main group and was walking alone on the quiet path. From time to time, he could see the cable car going down.

Xia Yuan didn't think it was bad, but he felt it was a bit out of place to appear in some ancient scenic spots.

But there is no way, this is also necessary.

Many people are exhausted just by climbing up the mountain and visiting some scenic spots, and have no extra energy to walk down the mountain.

He had taken a ride on it once and had a pretty good experience, as he could see many different views from up there.

"Strange, isn't the scenic area about to close? Why are there still people walking up the mountain?"

"Isn't it a staff member?"

"That doesn't look like it. Why would a staff member dress like that? Could they be lost?"

At this time, a couple who had just got on the cable car happened to see Xia Yuan on the trail.

"Then it seems he won't be able to get down the mountain in time. It's still very cold up there at night."

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us, mind your own business."

"All right!"

The woman hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

This situation is very common. Since you are not related to me, there is no need to meddle in other people's business because of something that seems to be true but is not, not to mention it is not a big deal.

After a tiring day of traveling, everyone wanted to go back and rest quickly.

Xia Yuan didn't hear this conversation. He didn't want to keep listening to what people around him were saying when he was traveling.

If I could hear so many people talking all the time, I would either be annoyed to death or laugh to death.

So I just treat myself as an ordinary person and don’t pay special attention to it.

Time passed quickly and there were fewer and fewer people on the mountain.

Xia Yuan had no intention of going down the mountain. One of the purposes of his trip was to see the treasured books in Qingcheng Mountain.

Although most books can be found on the Internet, there are always some that are not exposed to the outside world.

For example, some of the Heavenly Masters’ annotations and insights, as well as another part of the treasured ancient books, are not available to the outside world.

There is a high possibility that there are records of cultivation methods there, and perhaps some secrets can also be seen.

So you can only see it if you actually come to this kind of place.

Ordinary people certainly don’t have this opportunity to check, but this certainly can’t stop Xia Yuan.

The world is so big now that there is no place he cannot go.

Just because there were too many tourists during the day, he took the opportunity to visit all the Taoist temples on the mountains.

If you step better during the day, it will be much more convenient to move around at night.

As night fell, a figure quickly merged into the darkness.

Xia Yuan went directly to the palace with the largest collection of books that he had seen during the day.

At the same time, at the foot of the mountain.

The couple who had just landed were preparing to leave.

The girl suddenly called out to her boyfriend in front of her.

"Wait here, I'll be right back."

"Why are you going?"

After saying that, he ran straight to a staff member at the door.

Seeing this, the boyfriend naturally knew what his girlfriend wanted to do.

With a sigh, he could only follow helplessly.

"Hello, I just saw a tourist on the mountain who seemed to be lost."

"Lost? Where are you?"

After hearing this, the staff did not take it seriously.

It is true that people get lost here from time to time, but some people also stay overnight, so he has to confirm the location before making a judgment.

Then the girl described the approximate location to the staff in front of her.

"That place? It doesn't seem to be a lodging area. Most people probably wouldn't go there."

"Can you describe that person's appearance to me? I'll check the surveillance footage."

"We were too far away at the time. We could only see people but couldn't make out their faces!"

"Okay, I see. Thanks for the information."

After the girl left, the staff also took it seriously. It looked like they were lost in that place.

"Oh, how come another tourist is lost? I've emphasized this so many times."

But he just complained and then immediately notified others to check the situation.
