Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 204 Void, Starry Sky

Humans are creatures with a very strong learning ability.

They are also highly adaptable.

The complete analysis of the new world appeared online just one day after the reshaping of Earth.

Such as the past and present of Earth, the reasons and changes.

The difficulties and challenges faced by Chinese civilization, etc.

Not only the internet, but also television, radio, newspapers and many other media outlets are promoting this kind of information.

Whether they are college students or ordinary people, whether they are high-ranking officials or commoners.

They all, whether willingly or unwillingly, received a great deal of information about the new world.

Such a rapid response and detailed explanation clearly came from the imperial court.

Even so, the information disseminated only covered tens of thousands of square kilometers outside the Central Plains; most of the Blue Star region remained shrouded in mist.

According to official statements, the Central Plains region is considered to be in a relatively good location.

The south is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, inhabited by the Chinese people who migrated there during the Song Dynasty. Within its borders, sects and their members are the main inhabitants, along with the common people in their subordinate territories.

With most of the masters from various sects returning to the Central Plains, the Song Dynasty's strength has become extremely weak and is no longer a threat.

To their south lie small countries in the Southern Hemisphere, such as Southeast Asia, from the old Blue Star era.

To the west lies Central Asian territory still occupied by the Shang Dynasty's foreign tribes. They are, in a sense, Chinese people, but after thousands of years of reproduction and survival, little sense of identity remains.

Many of them identify themselves as people who have returned to the void.

The north is a desolate land, reportedly inhabited by certain ice field creatures. Its location borders Russian territory and poses no immediate threat to the Central Plains.

To the east lies the vast ocean, now even more expansive than before. The advantage is that the islands of eastern Japan are now thousands of kilometers away from the Central Plains, becoming truly distant neighbors.

Eastern Japan was completely isolated.

And these are just the tip of the iceberg of the new Blue Star continent.

The real continent is the Chaos Continent, located tens of thousands of kilometers south of the Song Dynasty.

This is also the main territory of Guixu.

It was inhabited by the Great Zhou Dynasty, the remnants of the Great Shang Dynasty, and the most unpredictable and mysterious Mangcang alien race.

The entire Chaos Continent was enormous, several times larger than all the landmasses of the former Blue Star combined.

Fortunately, when the two spaces merged into one, the primitive civilization and the modern civilization did not come into direct contact, thus avoiding war.

But this peace will not last long.

Once the Zhou dynasty has wiped out the remaining forces of the Shang dynasty, it will be time for them to prepare for war and "drink the Pacific Ocean".

In addition to these territorial changes, the existence of the Guixu creatures has also completely altered the ecological environment.

Large numbers of strange beasts began to migrate outwards from the overlapping Ruins of Return, forming their own territories.

Many neighboring former Blue Star nations were forced to embark on a massive military buildup, producing tanks, missiles, and various armed warships.

They flocked to the frontier to protect their homeland.

Although the merger only lasted a day, the sounds of gunfire from the war had already resounded across the land of the new Blue Star.

The Central Plains, a vast land with expansive seas, was already plagued by strange beasts, and with the merger of the Guixu Sea...

A large number of strange beasts appeared on the southeast coast.

The imperial court seemed to have foreseen this, and dispatched a large number of troops and warriors to the coast for defense in advance.

……

"These new weapons have already been deployed, and their capabilities are far superior to the old guns and cannons."

A week later, at a military camp along the East China Sea coast, a military captain whom Zhao Rui had met once before was enthusiastically introducing the newly equipped weapons to Zhao Rui and several other Dharma Aspect Realms.

"This is a plasma true essence cannon, capable of firing both plasma beams and true essence cannon ammunition, possessing extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities against the tough armor of alien beasts..."

"This is a laser sword. It utilizes plasma confinement technology and photon barrier repulsion effect, and can output a power of 4 watts... with a cutting temperature reaching 1 degrees Celsius..."

The captain spoke eloquently, his face beaming with joy.

The reason is that the army has been incompetent for too long, and conventional weapons are simply not very effective when facing alien beasts and high-level martial artists.

This meant that when facing the invasion of alien beasts and the Void, they could only rely on powerful weapons to sweep the area.

In individual combat, it is of negligible use.

Now that they have these advanced weapons that can penetrate armor, ordinary soldiers, as long as they are at or above the level of a seventh-level martial artist, can unleash the destructive power of a grandmaster or even higher.

This greatly compensates for the weakness of soldiers' low individual combat combat ability.

"Five thousand degrees?"

Zhao Rui recalled the protective shield that Academician Zhang had given him, which also seemed to be able to withstand burns of 5,000 degrees Celsius.

Wow, the updates are happening way too fast!

He hasn't even used it yet.

It'll just become scrap metal?

After introducing the army's equipment, the captain warmly invited everyone to a barbecue feast of exotic beasts.

These are small exotic beasts that soldiers hunted and killed during their patrol.

With the merging of the two realms, the variety of strange beasts in the sea has increased, unlike before when only powerful beasts could travel between the two realms.

The oceans are now facing an ecological crisis, and the fragile marine order of Earth is being disrupted by visitors from the Ruins.

Even the largest blue whale is nothing more than a slightly larger dish in front of other exotic beasts, let alone other marine creatures.

These are all inevitable consequences of integration.

If humans do not respond properly, they may soon find themselves, like these marine creatures, becoming prey for the mythical beasts of the Void.

The captain was a clever man; his invitation to Zhao Rui and the others to have barbecue at the military camp was also a way to build good relations.

The Ruins have been reached; strength reigns supreme.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to befriend several Dharma Masters would be of great benefit to him.

"This stuff has a delicate and smooth texture, and it's firmer than regular fish meat..."

As the captain introduced the meat, he enthusiastically sliced ​​it for the group and sprinkled it with seasonings.

Qingyang Zhenren and the others all came from Guixu, so they were naturally familiar with the meat of strange beasts and did not find it strange.

Zhao Rui had been to Guixu and eaten barbecued exotic beast meat, but he had never tasted these sea beasts.

They ate with relish, though.

"Now that the coastal defense mechanism is in place and satellite precision strikes have been implemented, you gentlemen no longer need to linger on the coast..."

The captain smiled and raised his glass.

"The defense of Dongqi is indeed something I'm grateful for, Commandant Jian, could trouble you with."

Master Qingyang laughed.

With the unveiling of the court's new equipment and the increasing strength of the army, Master Faxiang was finally able to temporarily return to his respective sect for some rest and recuperation.

"A soldier's duty is his, and he will not hesitate!"

Captain Jian said confidently, with a gun in his hand.

In the past week, he and his soldiers have indeed killed quite a few strange beasts.

Even the large, monstrous beasts that were previously difficult to contend with were killed with the help of the True Essence Cannon.

With such a record, Captain Jian was full of confidence.

"Is Master Zhao heading back to Qingcheng Mountain?"

During their conversation, Master Qingyang turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"Undecided at the moment."

Zhao Rui said casually.

"In that case, why don't you come and stay at my Mount Tai Sect for a couple of days? Our sect leader has long admired you, but has never had the chance to meet you."

"How could I trouble Master Qingxu with such concern? It was my rudeness. In that case, I will trouble you, fellow Daoist."

Zhao Rui didn't refuse. He hadn't seen Miao Miaomiao in a long time, so he decided to go up the mountain to see how her training was going.

The food in the military camp was relatively simple. After all, they were all True Immortals, and naturally they would not indulge in the lavish feasts of wine and meat like ordinary warriors.

After the meal, everyone left the military camp.

"Fellow Daoists, until we meet again!"

"Take care of yourself!"

The group had been together for some time, fighting side by side against the enemy, and had developed a bond of friendship.

"Brother Zhao, I'm heading back to Qingcheng Mountain now! If anything unusual happens, please let me know immediately." "Yes, thank you, fellow Daoist."

"We're all family, no need for formalities. Goodbye."

"Farewell!"

Cang Zhenzi gave Zhao Rui a few instructions, then strode off toward Sichuan Province.

The reason Qingcheng came to Dongqi to help was entirely because of Zhao Rui.

This can be seen as making up for the previous mistake of forcibly seizing Qingcheng Mountain and making a statement.

After all, when they came to fight the alien beasts, Zhao Rui was still in Guixu, his fate unknown.

Zhao Rui was naturally aware of this affection.

After seeing off the other True Immortals, True Immortal Qingyang smiled and said to Zhao Rui, "I have long heard of the Nine Heavens Gale Wind, which can cut through metal and stone with its power. Now that Blue Star has been unified, why don't we explore the heavens?"

"How dare you not?"

Zhao Rui laughed heartily.

The two immediately rose to their feet, displaying superb lightness skills, their bodies swirling with true energy, and flew towards the sky.

The direction was exactly where Mount Tai was, but the altitude we were climbing was clearly beyond what was typical for a normal journey.

Qingyang Zhenren manifested as the Taishan Stone Guardian, protecting him as he charged toward the sky.

The rapid impact formed a dazzling airflow barrier in front of him, scattering all the air in all directions.

The levitation technique of the Dharma Master is different from that of ordinary rockets; it does not require overcoming gravity.

Instead, he used a technique of lightness of body.

Covered in true energy, one feels as light as a feather, thus negating one's own gravity.

This is also why the Dharma-image Immortal can travel at extremely high speeds in a short period of time.

However, even if gravity is countered, increasing one's speed still requires a large amount of true energy.

Once the generation of true qi cannot offset the consumption of true qi, the Dharma Aspect True Person will be unable to continue to accelerate.

Ultimately, they could not roam freely in the world.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, how is this gale?"

Master Qingyang flew to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, feeling the solitude of the stillness of heaven and earth, and couldn't help but look down.

"The gale is indeed fierce, but why aren't you flying upwards, fellow Daoist?"

Zhao Rui paused slightly, then stood in mid-air, looking at Zhao Rui with curiosity.

"I lack the strength to continue."

Master Qingyang looked up and saw the brilliant starry sky and the sun and moon clearly visible.

Unfortunately, he couldn't break through the cosmos and disregard the laws of nature.

"Fellow Daoist, do you still have energy to spare?"

Master Qingyang asked with a curious smile.

"Not much more, maybe a few dozen meters more at most!"

Zhao Rui said with a smile, concealing his true strength.

With all his acupoints open, he could fly hundreds or thousands of miles higher without any problem.

However, that would be a slight to Master Qingyang.

No need.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, your talent is truly extraordinary, far surpassing that of this old Daoist."

"Not at all, it was just a temporary burst of energy. In a moment, I already feel that my true energy is somewhat insufficient."

Zhao Rui smiled.

"Fellow Taoist, you are humble."

Qingyangzi stroked his beard and gazed at the sky, then spoke in a clear voice, "In the past, in the Ruins of Return, the sun and moon were nowhere to be seen, and I thought that this was how heaven and earth were. Later, after studying the ancient books of our predecessors, I learned of our origins..."

"Now, seeing the sun, moon, and stars is like an ant seeing the vastness of the universe; only then do we realize how insignificant we are..."

"Fellow Daoist, the Great Dao is vast and boundless; we still have much to strive for!"

Zhao Rui listened to his sentiments and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

Looking around slightly, I saw that the blue star beneath my feet had become enormous, and I couldn't even see its circular arc at a glance.

It resembles a round sky and a square earth.

"Since true qi is not air, does it also exist in the universe?"

"If true qi is dark energy, and the world is so vast that dark energy is everywhere, could humans also use true qi to soar through space?"

Zhao Rui's heart trembled slightly.

Images of those extraordinary people he had seen in his previous life, traversing space and flying through the void with their physical bodies, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

"If we unleash the power of our domain, can we break through the limits?"

Zhao Rui was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"In the morning I travel to the North Sea, in the evening to Cangwu! ... The art of riding a celestial chariot is not about walking on foot, but about controlling the six qi with one's spirit!"

Master Qingyang rambled on, immersed in the vast starry sky and the power of heaven and earth.

Zhao Rui then pondered whether his idea of ​​soaring through the sky could be realized.

The two of them were simultaneously drawn into a strange, ethereal state.

This ethereal realm perfectly matches the ethereal atmosphere of the space at this moment, and also implicitly contains the Taoist concept of the unity of heaven and man.

How long this went on is unknown!

Zhao Rui then came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking around, he saw that Master Qingyang was still engrossed in his practice, so he secretly took precautions and protected him.

After a while, Master Qingyang actually began to practice martial arts.

His every move seemed to contain a profound mystery of heaven and earth, like the brilliance of the starry sky, or the ethereal quality of outer space.

"Starlight!"

With a low shout from Master Qingyang, his right hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, followed by a stream of true energy as thick as an arm, carrying an invisible star power, that suddenly rushed forward.

They flew for a long time until they were out of Zhao Rui's sight and disappeared into the distant horizon.

After unleashing this move, Master Qingyang sat cross-legged, his body surrounded by true energy, with faint starlight emanating from him.

He clearly had a sudden realization.

Zhao Rui couldn't help but smile wryly. These veterans who managed to fight their way out of Guixu were indeed all extraordinary; their talent was truly enviable.

Just then, a warning suddenly struck him, as if an invisible force was approaching.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his true energy swelled, and he instantly activated the Spring Breeze and Rain Domain.

Although there are no clouds or rain here, the power of this domain is not natural clouds or rain, but rather a force of clouds and rain derived from understanding the rules of heaven and earth.

Even in the vast emptiness of heaven and earth, clouds and rain can still be sent forth.

Once the "Spring Breeze and Rain" domain was unleashed, it engulfed both Master Qingyang and himself.

To be cautious, Zhao Rui also used the metal shield that Academician Zhang had given him.

Just as he was fully on guard, a strange phantom descended outside the domain.

Zhao Rui stared at the illusory figure and was instantly terrified.

It turned out to be the Heavenly Demon I had seen before.

Could the Heavenly Demon really be an extraterrestrial demon?
The phantom of the Heavenly Demon is different from the phantom of the Divine Void Realm. Although it is an illusory object, it gives people a feeling of being extremely solid.

It's as if their true nature is nothing but emptiness.

"Jie Jie!"

The Heavenly Demon attacked the domain several times, but when it could not break through the domain's defenses, it became increasingly agitated.

The entire illusory figure also became ferocious and terrifying, baring its fangs and claws.

On land, Zhao Rui had plenty of ways to defeat this demon, but now that he was in the void, he dared not act rashly.

Who knows where these demons came from? If there's one, could there be a second?

This standoff lasted for half a day.

Master Qingyang finally opened his eyes slowly.
