Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

All kinds of cultivation methods, supernatural powers, and spells in the chaotic universe were created by cultivators.

In the primordial world of the chaotic universe, many races were created by powerful beings. For example, the Demon Ancestor Rahu created the Demon Race, the Styx Ancestor created the Asura Race, and the Goddess Nuwa created the Human Race.

The human race in the primordial world was created by the goddess Nuwa based on the image of the god Pangu.

Pangu, the great god who split the chaos, obtained countless merits of the Great Dao. The human race's body is the same as Pangu's. When the innate human race was born, not only did they directly become immortals, but they also possessed innate Dao bodies, and their cultivation talent was comparable to that of innate gods and demons.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao suppressing the Human Dao and suppressing the Primordial Human Race, many of the Primordial Human Race in the prehistoric world would surely have become saints of humanity.

Humanity stands tall and upright, and while the Way of Humanity holds the same status as the Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth, humanity is the true protagonist of the chaotic universe.

The goddess Nuwa created humans from clay, and the clay she used was the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. Everything in the primordial world was evolved by the great god Pangu, including the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. No matter how you calculate it, the innate human race are all descendants of Pangu!

The Acquired Human Race is the descendant of the Innate Human Race, while the Unorthodox Human Race is the descendant of the Acquired Human Race.

The Human Race System divides the human race into four categories: Unranked Human Race, Acquired Human Race, Innate Human Race, and Chaotic Human Race.

The difference between different levels of humans lies in the intensity of their human bloodline.

"The powerful beings of the primordial world can create cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, and spells. Theoretically, I can too."

With their confidence soaring, Qi Bing reviewed various terms from his past life and began to ponder the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique).

Having mastered the essence of earth, he achieved earth escape without much effort or time.

Drawing upon his self-created Earth Release technique, Qi Bing easily mastered Wood Release, Metal Release, Fire Release, and Water Release.

"The concepts of artistic conception and laws are equivalent to principles, while various spells are merely methods of using the power of heaven and earth."

"Once you grasp the principles of the power of heaven and earth, figuring out how to use it is a piece of cake."

"My Five Elements Escape Technique can be used in the Four Courtyard World and the Xuanhuang World. Whether it can be used in other worlds is unknown."

The Xuanhuang Pearl is his magic weapon, and the Xuanhuang World is a world inside the Xuanhuang Pearl.

When Qi Bing was comprehending the three thousand realms of meaning, he was sometimes in the Xuanhuang World and sometimes in the Siheyuan World.

The three thousand realms of meaning he comprehended are roughly equivalent to the three thousand realms of meaning in the Xuanhuang World plus the three thousand realms of meaning in the Siheyuan World.

With a flick of his finger, a blade of wind flashed by, splitting a fly in two.

With a thought, a flame the size of a finger appeared and disappeared out of thin air, and a mosquito vanished without a trace.

With a thought, an invisible blade of space swept across, and a rat lost its head.

In less than a second, Qi Bing used three different types of the power of heaven and earth.

"To mobilize a single power of heaven and earth is instantaneous, with almost no delay."

"Wind blades, fireballs, and spatial blades can all be considered spells!"

Qi Bing took out a cigarette, lit it, and after puffing out smoke, began to condense the Samadhi True Fire.

There are roughly three ways to condense the Samadhi Fire.

The first type of Samadhi Fire is formed by the fusion of fire from stone, fire from wood, and fire from heaven; in essence, it is fire from heaven and earth.

The second type of Samadhi Fire is formed by the fusion of heart fire, liver fire, and stomach fire, and belongs to the fire of the human body.

The third type of Samadhi Fire is formed by the fusion of Heavenly Fire, Earthly Fire, and Human Fire.

In the primordial world, the Samadhi True Fire, formed by condensing the three fires of Heaven, Earth, and Man, is powerful but has drawbacks. After all, the Heavenly Dao of the primordial world is unparalleled, while the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao are too weak, resulting in one strong and two weak Samadhi True Fires.

In the Lesser Thousand World where the Siheyuan World is located, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man do not exist. The three flames of Heaven, Earth, and Man are balanced, and the Samadhi True Fire that is forged from them, although not as powerful as the version of Samadhi True Fire of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the Primordial World, has greater potential.

Qi Bing, with his divine sense projected outward, drew upon the three fires of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and in just over ten minutes, he successfully forged the Samadhi True Fire.

......

That morning, Qi Bing, who was wandering around outside, heard that many students admired Sun Wukong, and he couldn't help but frown.

In the original Journey to the West novel, Sun Wukong was depicted as having a blue face and fangs, and devouring countless people. In the TV series, however, Sun Wukong is portrayed as fearful of authority, associating with the wicked immortals, Buddhas, snakes, and rats who plague the people. He fails to kill any of the demons in the series who harm the people and have powerful backers.

Sun Wukong is a demon; does he care whether the people live or die?

Since Sun Wukong is a monster who doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people, what reason do students of the human race, or ordinary people of the human race, have to worship the monster Sun Wukong?

The Journey to the West in the courtyard world has not yet been adapted into a TV series, but there are already several versions of the Journey to the West comic book.

Existing comic books of Journey to the West all glorify Sun Wukong, which, in Qi Bing's personal opinion, is clearly a distortion of the truth.

In some ways, Sun Wukong in Journey to the West is similar to Hou Liangping in the novel.

When Hou Liangping, like Sun Wukong, becomes afraid of those in power, the consequences will be immeasurable.

"The heroes of Liangshan in the Water Margin are admired by countless people, but in reality, Liangshan was a den of iniquity. Some of the heroes of Liangshan were villains who indiscriminately killed innocent people, were arrogant and domineering, and committed murder and robbery."

"Through the promotion by certain people, some cruel, vicious, disloyal, and unjust characters in novels have been glorified."

"Many wise rulers who treated the people well in ancient times became tyrants, while some tyrants who slaughtered the people became wise rulers for all time."

The phrase "unable to distinguish right from wrong" came to Qi Bing's mind. With his relatively upright values, he felt a surge of anger.

The next morning, after his wife and children left home, Qi Bing rode his electric scooter to the main building.

After discussing Journey to the West with Elder Long for a while, Qi Bing rode his bicycle back to the villa.

Entering the Xuanhuang World, I spent more than two hours exchanging and learning a foreign language with Qin Jingru and You Fengxia.

A few days later, Chongqing began to destroy cultural and entertainment works that distorted the truth. People from the Comprehensive Management Bureau guided people from all over Chongqing to spontaneously form discussion groups to discuss right and wrong.

By compiling historical population data from various ancient records and analyzing it through discussions among the people, it is generally possible to determine whether a ruler was a tyrant or a wise ruler.

The golden age of the Tang Dynasty was a golden age for the Tang imperial family and foreign tribes, not for ordinary people.

During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, the total population was nearly 50 million, but by the early Tang Dynasty, it had dwindled to only about 20 million.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 200 million people, but by the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, only more than 70 million remained.

Natural disasters, plagues, wars?

In ancient times, with abundant land and a small population, even in the era of cold weapons, the number of people who died in wars, often exceeding one million, was still very small.

According to ancient records, Emperor Yang of Sui launched three campaigns against Goguryeo, and the total number of deaths in those battles amounted to several hundred thousand.

Plagues were almost incurable in ancient times, but very few ancient cities had a population of more than 300,000.

Qi Bing personally believes that in ancient times, when dynasties changed, the population decreased by tens of millions, mainly due to killing innocent people to claim credit and massacres. Attributing the population decline to natural disasters and plagues was mostly to cover up the crimes.

Traveling long distances requires a travel permit. The population of a single city is limited. What kind of plague or natural disaster could kill tens of millions of people?

Many of the actions of the Japanese devils in their past lives bear a striking resemblance to certain malicious accounts from ancient times.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, which has been passed down through the ages, resulted in the deaths of millions of people due to government sieges, Yellow Turban massacres, famine, and plague.

Reducing the number of people by tens of millions, or even more than 100 million, can only be achieved through killing innocent people to claim credit and massacres.

Was grain yield per acre low in ancient times? Ancient people had more land per capita, so the number of deaths from natural disasters and plagues would have been relatively lower.

Did landlords and powerful families own a lot of land? Many ordinary people didn't own land; land consolidation was rampant in ancient times. And landlords and powerful families didn't farm themselves, letting tenant farmers starve. Expecting landlords and powerful families to farm themselves? Clearly impossible!

......

Henry frowned: "Mr. Wang, we cannot agree to your request."

Wang Minghua pretended to be hesitant and said, "Mr. Henry, I know my request is a little excessive, but Zhang Kai is too strong. He has more troops and better equipment than me."

"Mr. Wang, we hope you can send troops to attack Zhang Kai."

"Mr. Henry, it's not that I don't want to send troops to fight Zhang Kai, it's just that my current strength is not enough to defeat Zhang Kai."

Wang Minghua acted as if he followed the lead of the United States, repeatedly demanding money and goods from the US.

At the same time, Zhang Kai, who had taken over the entire Claw Island, also repeatedly sought benefits from Chi Sha.

The three major powers in Southeast Huangzhou are: one is close to the United States, the second is close to the Red Sands, and the third does not align with any power.
