Liangcheng.
Zhou Yi stood on the clouds and looked down. The lights were as bright as day.
The entire city looks like a huge fortress, with walls made of concrete several feet thick. The layout of the houses and streets inside are completely designed for war, and all walls have shooting holes.
There were no ordinary pedestrians on the street, patrolling soldiers marched neatly, and tanks rumbled through.
There is no need to ask, just take a look and you can hear the solemn atmosphere that a storm is about to come.
"Taoist Priest, Liangcheng is the frontline in the eastern war zone and has resisted the beast tide for more than twenty years."
Shen Cheng sighed: "Now that most of the people in the city have evacuated, maybe in ten or eight years, the weapons of destruction buried underground will be detonated!"
Zhou Yi scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and found that there were thousands of launch silos ready for use at any time.
Once they are all detonated, thousands of miles around will be reduced to rubble.
"The power of the weapon of destruction is comparable to the bombardment of magic weapons, but it cannot harm the true king at all. The speed is too slow and the power is too scattered. What's more, ordinary technology cannot find traces of the golden elixir!"
When Zhou Yi was in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he secretly sneaked into a desert experimental base and personally experienced the most powerful weapon of destruction.
The crisis of the extinction of the human race is imminent, and the inheritance of the Immortal Dao has long been made public and anyone can check it. Shen Cheng naturally knew about the True Lord Jindan and said with expectation.
"If the human race has True Lord Jindan, maybe they can counterattack the demon race!"
"Disaster!"
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly. He was considered to be the top true king in terms of combat power. He could be said to be the best under the Nascent Soul. With many treasures, he could fight with the Nascent Soul for several rounds in the early stage.
However, in the rat demon's memory, he saw the endless ferocious beasts when the beast tide broke out, and he couldn't kill them all even after exhausting his mana.
The human race relied on heavy firepower, firearms, and the reckless use of destructive weapons to stop the tide of beasts time and time again.
Moreover, in the eyes of real monsters, ferocious beasts are just war consumables. Only by exterminating the hidden monsters can the evil beasts be eliminated.
"However, the golden elixir can guarantee the immortality of the human race. In the future, if the spiritual energy goes further, more true kings will surely appear!"
while speaking.
Zhou Yi followed Shen Cheng's instructions and landed in front of a low building in the west of the city.
As soon as he landed on the ground, he noticed invisible waves sweeping over him, which was similar to divine consciousness but without the breath of a living person.
"This is?"
There was a Taiqing magic talisman in Zhouyi that disappeared, and the fluctuations were not noticed by him. Instead, his spiritual consciousness searched for the traces and found the source. A radar-like machine was installed on the top of the building in the center of the city.
Waves are emitted in circles, and the atmosphere in the city can be monitored anytime and anywhere.
The entire Liang City was shrouded in Zhou Yi's spiritual consciousness, and he happened to see a dangerous situation in the east of the city, a group of rat-shaped ferocious beasts with sharp teeth and barbs on their backs.
He had just bitten through the concrete ground and emerged, and before he could wreak havoc everywhere, nearby soldiers and tanks had received the news and arrived.
The army formed an encirclement and blocked the beast on the street. A series of heavy machine guns and artillery roared, tearing the beast into pieces, and professional technicians collected the corpses.
The response was quick and methodical, obviously he had experienced too many sneak attacks by ferocious beasts!
"Vicious beasts are attacking human cities at any time, but they are not as terrifying as the beast tide. This is the case in Liang City, and it is the same in other cities."
Zhou Yi's spiritual consciousness penetrated the detector and found that there were many inscriptions on the weapon inside. The operation consumes electricity and spiritual energy. It is more like a combination of more than a dozen special magic weapons rather than a machine.
Five hundred years have passed, and under the pressure of the tide of ferocious beasts, technology and immortality have been integrated in all aspects.
Shen Cheng entered a series of passwords, and the iron door of the low building clicked open. What he saw were four truck-mounted heavy machine guns, which were loaded with bullets when the door opened.
"Uncle Qi, it's me."
Uncle Qi is an old man over fifty years old. He wears sunglasses, a black trench coat, and large leather pants. He is two feet tall and carries a rocket launcher on his shoulders. If you look carefully at the claw marks on his face, he is a murderous man who is prohibited from taking to the streets in peacetime.
"Xiao Shen, why haven't you seen anyone these days?"
Uncle Qi's expression softened slightly, but he did not put down the rocket launcher. After looking at Zhou Yi, he asked: "This Taoist priest is a bit unfamiliar. Isn't he from Liangcheng?"
Zhou Yi understood the caution of Uncle Qi and others, and said, "Tang Xuan, a poor Taoist, is a loose cultivator in the East China Sea."
"Uncle Qi, the Taoist Master is a good man. I will go to Yucheng to look for medicine in the past few days..."
Shen Cheng briefly talked about what happened. Generally speaking, he had ordinary qualifications and went to explore the ruins in order to become a warrior.
"It turns out to be an ancient monk!"
Uncle Qi had a strange look on his face, took out a black box from his pocket, and said, "Don't blame me, Taoist priest. Our wife and children are upstairs, so we have to be careful. Please enter your magic power to prove it."
Zhou Yi waved his hand and photographed the black box, inputting mana into it and shining with white light.
“Funny gadget!”
His spiritual consciousness scanned the structure of the black box, and he has learned its use. It is similar to the spiritual root detector in the world of immortality. It also adds inscriptions for identifying monsters, and uses black and white light to identify humans and monsters.
Zhou Yi's magic power was running, and two more formation patterns were added to the black box. One was to break the illusion, and the other was to self-destruct.
Breaking the illusion can prevent the monsters from using illusions and turning black into white. Self-destruction means that the monster energy has reached the foundation building stage and will explode directly and turn it into ashes.
When Uncle Qi saw Bai Guang, he became very enthusiastic.
Ancient cultivation is no longer popular in the human race, but his status is still noble. After all, he is a legendary immortal. The four arts of cultivating immortals and mysterious spells are not something that a warrior barbarian can learn.
The low building has a total of six floors, with the first and sixth floors responsible for guard duty and the people living in the middle.
Shen Cheng's home is on the third floor. There is no elevator and we have to walk.
Zhou Yi walked on the stairs and reached out to touch the marks on the wall. There were dense craters and claw marks. It was obvious that he had experienced a lot of battles.
When the residents on the third floor heard the footsteps, they woke up one after another to check through the peephole, and asked through the intercom. They watched closely as Zhou Yi and the two entered the house before feeling relieved.
Struggling at the end of the day, hearing too many tragic stories of ferocious beasts wiping out families, my nerves are always in a state of tension!
The house was laid out with two rooms and one living room, and it was as messy as a doghouse.
There were several large and small firearms on the table, hundreds of kilograms of rice and flour piled in the corner, various fitness equipment scattered on the floor, and drawings of human body meridians and acupuncture points and martial arts formulas posted on the wall.
Zhou Yi glanced over and pointed at the two craters on the wall: "What's going on?"
"Three years ago at night, I was practicing martial arts, and an insect monster got in somehow."
Shen Cheng picked up the shotgun on the table and loaded it: "Bang, bang, two shots, spraying the bug to death, and exchanged the corpse for a body strengthening potion."
Zhou Yi wondered: "Why didn't you bring weapons when you went to Yucheng?"
Shen Cheng shrugged and said, "I originally had a baggage, but before I reached the realm, I encountered a tyrannical beast and had to abandon the baggage and run away."
Zhou Yi touched his sleeves and took out a stack of talismans.
"The magical talisman drawn by Pindao can be activated with blood when encountering danger. It is very useful for escaping."
"The Taoist Master is leaving?"
Shen Cheng took the talisman, bowed and said, "I don't know where I will grow up. If I succeed in my practice in the future, I will definitely repay my life-saving grace!"
"Let's go to Senjing Martial Arts University for now. Maybe I can become a teacher and teach some students."
Zhou Yi glanced at the photo frame on the table. His parents, sister, and Shen Cheng were all smiling happily. Now he was alone, and he patted his shoulder and said.
"Live a good life and get admitted to a martial arts university!"
"Um."
Shen Cheng nodded heavily and said, "If you want to take a night's rest, Immortal, I will go to Uncle Qi's house to buy two bottles of wine. It is brewed using pure ancient methods. It tastes much better than the ones on the black market."
The ferocious beasts besieged the city, and in order to save food, the human race had long promulgated a ban on alcohol.
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, turned into a escaping light and disappeared, leaving only a faint lingering sound.
"Pindao is going to deal with a few little guys. He will be admitted to the martial arts university in the future. Please taste the thousand-year-old wine!"
…
Xianjing.
The core of the Human Alliance gathers the elites of Nine Continents.
Since the outbreak of the ferocious beasts, the imperial court has continued to increase its defense methods. Relying on the city walls that were refined thousands of years ago, various immortal ways and technological means have been accumulated.
At that time, the official website of Yiqi Sect's outer sect recorded the complete four arts of cultivating immortals, and the level was enough to be used by people with golden elixirs.
The city wall is heavily protected by formations and weapon refining, and is equipped with dense heavy weapons. It is claimed that it can resist the attack of True Lord Jindan!
"The Final Fortress, this nickname sounds a bit unlucky."
Zhou Yi activated the Taiqing magic talisman, and the light fell into the city. All the original ancient buildings had been demolished and replaced by fortresses suitable for street fighting.
In the current crisis of genocide, any cultural heritage must give way to war.
Only the imperial palace is left, which can be regarded as the last cultural thought of the human race.
Pedestrians on the street walked in a hurry, and most of them looked solemn.
Even though the war is still 4,000 miles away, there are small-scale ferocious beasts attacking Xianjing from time to time, and the alliance continues to retreat on the front line. It is difficult for the people not to worry about the future!
Zhou Yi walked on the street and found that almost all shops were state-owned and under military control and rationing.
Due to the formation protection in Xianjing City, there are very few ferocious beasts sneaking in to cause trouble. However, the fields outside are inevitably damaged and food is always in short supply.
The few privately-run shops sell all sorts of things, mostly whatever they get today.
Economic transactions shrank to the point of collapse, and the paper currency system could no longer be maintained. The alliance resumed gold and silver coin transactions, but most shops were bartering.
Zhou Yi walked on the street and felt that even the air was full of all kinds of negative emotions.
"Decadent, desolate, no hope..."
"Any path of spiritual practice, including taking medicine, requires an indomitable Taoist mind."
"We must first find a way to change this depressed and sad state. When the people see the hope of the continuation of the human race, they will inspire a thousand times more fighting spirit!"
All the way to the center of the capital.
The territory that was originally supposed to be Ren'anfang has now been changed to the Martial Arts University, with a radius of more than ten miles. In Xianjing, where every inch of land is precious, it is enough to show that the alliance attaches great importance to it.
The school gate.
Many people gathered and lined up, facing the black iron pillars, using their energy and blood to attack.
According to Shen Cheng, the martial arts university recruits students at any time. As long as they are martial arts geniuses, they are not restricted to the annual exams.
Zhou Yi stood aside and watched for a moment. Dozens of people tested, but none of them passed the test.
The iron pillar is a magic weapon used to test qi and blood. If you are under the age of 20 and your qi and blood meet the standards of a warrior, you can immediately enter the school without taking the test.
"Breaking the exam rules and setting much higher than normal admission requirements."
Zhou Yi's body swayed, and he escaped underground and appeared directly in the campus. The formation restriction claimed to resist the True Lord did not have any effect.
It can be said that all the Immortal Dao inheritance of the Human Alliance originated from the Book of Changes. How could there be any restrictions on him?
After a while.
Principal room.
Boom, boom, boom.
Zhou Yi knocked on the door gently, went in after getting permission, and met the founder of the Martial Arts University.
The most powerful person in the human race, Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong raised his head and saw the person coming. His mana aura had reached the peak of foundation building. This kind of person should be famous in the alliance, but he didn't have any impression, and he said doubtfully.
"Where did the Taoist priest come from?"
"Donghai Loose Cultivator, Tang Xuan."
Zhou Yi cupped his hands and said: "I first came to Jiuzhou and heard the name of the Martial Arts University, so I came here to visit."
When Xiao Hong heard about Zhou Yi's origins, his face suddenly beamed with joy: "Is there still a human race in the East China Sea?"
"There should be no more."
Zhou Yi returned from the East China Sea and passed several large islands along the way, but there was no trace of the human race.
At that time, they didn't know about the catastrophe caused by the ferocious beasts. They only thought that tsunamis and earthquakes would occur within a few hundred years, and that all human beings on the island would be wiped out. This was not a rare thing in the East China Sea.
"What a pity, what a pity."
Xiao Hong sighed repeatedly and changed his tone: "I wonder how you can enter the city?"
Zhou Yi casually found a reason: "The poor Taoist has practiced the escape method intensively. Although it is not able to escape from everything, there is currently no place in Jiuzhou that can stop it."
Xiao Hong's eyes flashed with golden light, confirming that Zhou Yi was from the human race, and said with a smile.
"Why did the Taoist priest come to school?"
"Teaching."
Zhou Yi is straightforward: "With the limitations of heaven and earth, Pindao is probably a hopeless golden elixir, so the inheritance will be cut off. I hope to find a few successors in the school."
"The shackles of heaven and earth?"
Xiao Hong was startled for a moment, and he had a vague understanding, and quickly asked: "I don't know what the shackles of heaven and earth are?"
"Extraordinary things in the world come from spiritual energy, whether it is the ancient methods of poor Taoists or the new methods of fellow Taoists. Today, the concentration of spiritual energy in the world can at most support the peak of foundation building, and it is absolutely impossible to trigger the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation."
Zhou Yi took out a book from his sleeve, which was left by the Pure Lord back then and reappeared in the world after two thousand years.
After experiencing the world of immortality and the end of Dharma, and entering a new era of spiritual energy recovery, Zhou Yi has long understood why strong people like to write books and write theories, probably because they understand that immortality is hard to find.
Under the erosion of time, Tianjun will all die, and only the books they wrote are passed down from generation to generation.
How is this not a kind of immortality?
Xiao Hong stood up, bowed to take the book, and quickly flipped through it to learn about the theory of ancestral veins.
"The ancestral vein, the source of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth...if it is destroyed, will all monsters and ferocious beasts degenerate into ordinary beasts?"
"Without the aura of heaven and earth, those ferocious beasts should collapse directly."
Zhou Yi caught a few ferocious beasts to investigate. They were completely the product of demonic skills, similar to evil methods such as exorcism and corpse refining, and at the same time incorporated the evolution of the blood of the demon clan.
When the spiritual energy is extinguished, the body of the ferocious beast will collapse directly without even a chance to degenerate.
"That……"
Xiao Hong said excitedly: "Taoist priest, do you know how to find ancestral veins?"
"have no idea."
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly. After the spiritual energy was revived, countless spiritual veins appeared in Jiuzhou. None of them were ancestral veins, or they might all be ancestral veins.
Xiao Hong sighed and said, "The Taoist master is very knowledgeable and can become a school teacher. I don't know which ancient method you want to teach?"
"It's the way to escape."
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "When you go out to hunt ferocious beasts, the escape method is most suitable for sneak attacks, and it is also suitable for saving lives. If one day Xianjing falls, only the escape method can leave blood for the human race!"
"Then it's hard work, Taoist priest."
Xiao Hong looked helpless. The overall atmosphere of the human race was now low, and most people thought like Zhou Yi.
If it weren't for the fact that the demon clan had difficulty in negotiating peace and the purpose was to exterminate the human race, there might have been many surrender factions!
