More than three hundred years later, Chang'an City in 1,200 AD.
"Is this the capital of New Tang Dynasty?"
Standing on this familiar yet unfamiliar land, the young man looked at the tall buildings nearby in a daze, his eyes full of confusion and astonishment.
Those high-rise buildings, which are often tens of meters high, simply refreshed the young man's outlook on life.
He couldn't even imagine how such a building was built?
No wood, no adobe…
These buildings seem to be integrated into one whole, revealing a sense of order and splendor from the inside out.
But when he saw the endless flow of cars on both sides of the street, the young man felt that those high-rise buildings were not that big of a deal anymore.
Are those man-made giants that are entirely made of steel and roar like wild beasts from time to time, the legendary "wooden cows and flowing horses"?
After all, excluding some mechanical structures that I can't understand at all, isn't it the "vital energy" that drives these creations to move?
Or to be more precise, it is a kind of vitality mixed with black grease that can burn for a long time.
Although I am not familiar with the type of vitality, I don't know why that vitality needs to be mixed with black grease and burned to drive these man-made giants.
However, it is also the boy's research direction to materialize the ethereal vitality and use it in daily life other than spiritual practice.
Moreover, the young man could see that burning was the characteristic of black grease, and the role of vitality in it was responsible for the steps of transformation and amplification.
Replacing those black grease with other things that can burn will not affect the power increase and drive of Yuanqi to these man-made giants.
[Did I really only sleep for eight hundred years? 】
With this thought in mind, the young man lowered his head and glanced at the land beneath his feet.
Because he could feel that the road surface under his feet was much more solid than he imagined.
Just like those high-rise buildings, these inconspicuous pavements are also made of some unknown material.
This material is neither gold nor earth, but it has amazing strength. Even if it can withstand the crushing of a hundred tons of giant objects, it will not be damaged at all.
The most important thing is that under these roads, there is a formation huge enough to cover the entire Chang'an City.
In addition to the most basic protection and monitoring functions, this formation seems to also play a certain connecting role.
[Is it round light technique? 】
Turning his head to look at the crowd that had gathered unknowingly nearby, the young man noticed that almost every one of them had a "small mirror" to communicate and contact the huge formation at his feet.
The boy is very familiar with the round light technique. He has often used this technique to spy on things thousands of miles away.
But the complexity of those "small mirrors" is obviously far beyond what is required by ordinary circular light techniques.
Obviously, in addition to the most basic round light technique, that "small mirror" also has many more complicated and dazzling functions.
The young man even noticed that someone used the "small mirror" to practice the art of entraining energy, and in a short period of time, he gathered an amount of energy that far exceeded his own qualifications.
In addition to the art of entraining qi to assist in practice, advanced spells such as water-avoiding arts, fire-avoiding arts, calling wind and rain, and traveling thousands of miles can occasionally be seen being used.
Of course, compared to the practical functions of assisting in cultivation and casting spells, the boy was more concerned about the virtual functions called "games".
That was obviously not the original intention of creating this kind of "small mirror", but it has gradually become the mainstream among people.
【Playing with things makes one lose one’s spirit! 】
This was the first thought that came to the boy's mind after he realized the importance of this "small mirror".
After all, in the era where the young man lived, if a practitioner wanted to cast a decent spell, he often needed to practice for many years.
But in today's era, when the method of cultivation has obviously been popularized, these "mortals" who can easily use magic have gradually forgotten the hardship of practicing magic, and even put most of their energy into some virtual things.
[Getting frustrated with toys? Is this how you view this era? 】
Along with a chuckle, a voice that seemed to come from somewhere reached the young man's ears.
The young man had never heard this voice before, but he seemed to see the Eternal Ming King entrenched in the Buddhist kingdom.
The King of Ming is holding flowers and smiling, and every move seems to reveal the truth of the world, giving people a feeling of "I am the Dao".
[Are you the strongest person of this era? 】
The appearance of King Chang Shiming did not shake his will. The young man looked up at the sky with a calm expression, and disappeared from the street in the next second.
[I want to see what the strongest man of this era is capable of! 】
Seeing this situation, the crowd that gradually gathered around them were stunned for a moment, and then they showed a look of surprise.
They originally saw the young man's attire that was incompatible with the times and mistakenly thought that the other party was playing a role-playing game.
As a result, judging from the current situation, this young man seems to be the kind of senior master who has reached the stage of permanent appearance.
Although such senior masters are not common in today's era, they are not uncommon either.
What the crowd is more curious about than this is that practitioners of this level generally have to go to Qintian Prison to register and are prohibited from using magic in the city?
Most of the guys who used magic unscrupulously like this before have been sent to Qintian Pavilion for "re-education through labor".
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Who is using magic here without authorization?"
"Don't you know that spells above level A are prohibited from being used in the city?"
Just as the crowd was talking about it, a stream of light flying with a sword suddenly flashed across the sky, and at the same time, the angry yelling and cursing of the person who met him was heard.
"Once it interferes with the operation of the city's magic circle, it will be us who have to write a report!"
Hearing this, the crowd below suddenly burst into laughter.
In today's era, the powers and responsibilities of the Qintian Prison have long been decentralized, and these "sword cultivators" who are responsible for maintaining the operation of the city's magic circle have naturally become the most miserable positions.
It can be as big as practitioners using force in the city, or as small as a primary school building a foundation collectively...
They are responsible for and supervise any actions that interfere with the movement of heaven and earth's vitality.
Therefore, in order to get to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible, almost everyone of these practitioners who were not originally sword cultivators was forced to practice a sword light escape technique.
Because compared to the Five Elements Escape Technique, which places more emphasis on talent, Sword Light Escape Technique is basically an entry-level spell that can be practiced as long as you have a sword.
Unfortunately, everything is lacking in this era, except for the "Excalibur" mass-produced on the assembly line.
Especially for those practitioners who joined the Talisman Way after graduating from college, running an assembly line for mass production of magic weapons one night is basically their daily routine.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"It seems that not all mortals have lost their minds playing with things."
A thousand miles had passed in the blink of an eye, but the young man still noticed what was happening behind him as if there were eyes in the back of his head.
Especially the cultivator who drove the sword light to pursue him, even in the age when he was active as a young man, he was a good seedling that various sects needed to carefully cultivate.
And there are no fewer than a thousand good seedlings like this in Chang'an, distributed according to jurisdiction.
"You are too harsh."
At some point, a young man with a handsome face appeared beside the boy out of thin air.
Even under the magical power of traveling thousands of miles in an instant, the young man still followed the young man closely, chatting and communicating with him with a contented look on his face.
"Ao Guang? I didn't expect you to come out too."
Recognizing the young man's true identity at a glance, the young man raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"You think I'm too harsh?"
"But the road to immortality is a climbing process. If you don't put in a lot of effort, how can you achieve any achievement?"
After hearing what the young man said, the young man, or rather Ao Guang, just smiled and shook his head.
"That's the past you're in."
"For people living in today's era, spiritual practice is just a daily routine, as common as eating and sleeping."
He frowned slightly. Although the young man could not accept Ao Guang's statement, he could understand the meaning of his words.
To put it simply, practitioners like Juvenile take spiritual practice as their goal and pursue the goal of constantly climbing upwards.
However, the mortals he had met before did not necessarily regard cultivation as their lifelong pursuit.
In their view, spiritual practice is just something that has been done naturally since birth, and it is no different from ordinary martial arts training.
These mortals would not regard the pursuit of magical powers as the purpose of their practice, nor would they regard immortality as the goal of their practice.
After all, the former can be achieved through the "round light mirror", while the latter also has a series of longevity elixirs continuously launched by the Danding Sect...
Therefore, instead of spending so much energy on spiritual practice, they are more willing to devote their energy to those things that interest them.
In fact, the fact that there are so many branches of spiritual practice in full bloom in this era is mostly due to the various attempts of these mortals who are looked down upon by teenagers.
"maybe!"
After a brief silence, the young man finally showed his unique side and chose to accept those ideas that seemed to him to be deviant.
"Welcome to this new era, Li Xuan."
A bright smile instantly bloomed on his face. Only then did Ao Guang take out a special round light mirror from his waist and said to the other end of the round light mirror.
"Tell that brat Lu Xiao to leave him alone this time. I have found the 'violator'."
"Just ask him to submit a report afterwards!"
After saying this, Ao Guang turned to look at Li Xuan who was full of curiosity, and then said to Yuan Guangjing.
"Also, ask that boy Lu Xiao to help me go to the 'Tianzhong Headquarters' to ask for leave."
"I want to greet my old friends today, so I won't be on duty."
