Chapter 279 Confirmed, the same universe! Qiankun Realm, the belated heavenly tribulation After about half a day. After digesting all the information about the mysterious "spiritual weapon", Jiajing's eyes finally opened slowly. However, at this moment, even Jiajing, who usually did not show his emotions, had a look of extreme shock in his eyes that lasted for a long time. Because what he got from this "spiritual weapon" was not just the information about the "spiritual weapon" itself. And the doubts that had been in his heart for a long time were also revealed. In fact, ever since he saw the mysterious mortal spine on the moon last time, Jiajing has suspected that there must be some connection between the universe where the immortal world is located and the universe where the Ming Dynasty is located. However, there is no conclusive evidence to show whether this connection means that the two are the same universe or two different universes. However, the information given by this "spiritual weapon" has clearly told him that it is the same universe. In the distant past, at an unknown time in the past, well, of course this time in the past refers to the present world of immortal cultivation, this "spiritual weapon" came from the Southern Dipper star field. Its owner, named "Master Qiankun", is an eight-tribulations wandering immortal from the Tianfu Star realm in the Southern Dipper star region.
Of course, it itself is not a "spiritual weapon", but a real immortal weapon! What is a fairy weapon? If we interpret it literally, it is a magic weapon used by fairies. It also means that magical instruments of this level have actually already surpassed the mundane level. Regarding immortal artifacts, there is actually not much introduction in the "General Notes on Cultivation", because every immortal artifact, as long as it can be passed down and has an owner, is itself a secret. Even though people in the world of immortal cultivation knew that the academy possessed immortal weapons, it still remained a mystery. Just because it's so mysterious! Some people say that immortal laws are contained within immortal weapons, while others say that the spirit of an immortal weapon itself has the cultivation level of an immortal, or at worst, a wandering immortal. Some people say that some immortal artifacts can evolve into a world, while others say that immortal artifacts are tools for communicating with the upper realm, that is, the immortal world. Possessing a magical weapon can even give you the ability to travel to the past, the future, etc., without being bound by the rules of heaven and earth. In short, the descriptions of immortal weapons recorded in the "General Notes on Cultivation" are different. But each introduction is very confident! However, this also confirms from the side that each immortal weapon has its own unique abilities. And the immortal weapon in front of me, well, the previous immortal weapon, its name is called "Qiankun Realm". The name is naturally taken from its owner, Qiankun Zhenren, the immortal whose cultivation has reached the eighth calamity realm. An Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal, this level of cultivation was beyond the imagination of Jiajing, because in the world of cultivating immortals, a lone immortal could be regarded as an immortal in itself! Because when a cultivator reaches the Mahayana stage, he has reached the end of his cultivation. And then, what the cultivators in the Great Accomplishment Stage need to do is to wait. Wait, wait, wait to overcome the tribulation and ascend! If one can survive the heavenly tribulation of the Mahayana period, the heaven will send down the light of guidance and one can ascend to the upper realm. If a cultivator in the Mahayana stage is unable to survive the heavenly tribulation, he will choose to dissolve into the world of war and become a wandering immortal. A wandering immortal goes through nine transformations, one after each tribulation. After nine transformations, one becomes a nine-tribulation wandering immortal. After passing the final tribulation of ascension, one can go straight into the upper realm, and his starting point will be higher than that of ordinary immortals! Of course, these are just fragmentary records summarized from the "General Records of Cultivation" based on some ancient secrets about immortals. No one knows what a real immortal looks like or what incredible powers he possesses. The master of this Qiankun Realm, Qiankun Zhenren, was actually an Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal. No one else had such a level of cultivation, but he was already able to walk sideways in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
Even those at the level of Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal would not easily become his enemy. As for the reason, it is not actually recorded in too much detail in the "General Notes on Cultivation", it is just some speculations based on the rumors about immortals. Rumor has it that if an immortal wants to take action in the world of immortal cultivation, there will be many restrictions. If he is not careful, he may cause a heavenly calamity to befall, and he will be killed. After all, the power level of a scattered immortal can already be regarded as that of an immortal. No matter what, the world of cultivating immortals still belongs to the human world. The way of heaven will naturally not allow such existence, but all living things under the way of heaven have a glimmer of hope. The scattered immortals are some of the living creatures that are still surviving under these vitality. At this time, if these immortals still do not know how to restrain themselves and continue to wreak immortal-level power on the human world, it would be equivalent to them automatically jumping out of that glimmer of hope, and what awaits them is destruction! This is also one of the reasons why the super sects in the world of immortal cultivation will not easily engage in life-and-death battles. It is because some super sects have immortals in charge, and their existence is to shock the entire world. In other words, once the immortal takes action, it will inevitably be a fight to the death, and the immortal will die as a result. The sect is equivalent to losing a powerful protection that can ignore the rules of the entire world of cultivation. The fate that awaits this super sect is that it will be constantly divided up by other forces of equal size. Eventually, the sect’s resources were exhausted, and after millions of years, it became lost in the crowd. Of course, these are all speculations and fragmentary records about immortals in the "General Notes on Cultivation". As for the true situation of Sanxian, whether this is true or not is unknown. But the most widely-held view is the most reliable and reasonable one. Putting away the information about the immortals in his mind, Jiajing was more concerned about the broken immortal weapon in front of him, which was now only at the level of a spiritual weapon. From the remaining information of this broken magic weapon, Jiajing learned that when Master Qiankun was going through the ninth heavenly tribulation, he used his natal magic weapon, Qiankun Realm, to resist. In the end, the ninth heavenly tribulation could not be survived, and the immortal weapon Qiankunjing was blasted into a spiritual weapon under the heavenly tribulation. True Man Qiankun died, and Qiankun Realm was blasted out of the Southern Dipper Star Region under the thunder tribulation, breaking through the endless fragments of space and even the constraints of time, wandering the universe. After that, it collided with a meteorite and stopped, and then merged with the meteorite. It is unknown how long it has been, as the dust in the universe continues to gather and collide. Then the meteorite attacked the ancient star of Mars, and it stayed here. Qiankun Realm, although the name is taken from the name of Qiankun Zhenren, it is well-deserved of the name. This is because this Qiankun Realm has an incredible ability, which is that it contains a trace of the laws of time and space. What is the law of time and space? Jiajing, who can now be called the Heavenly Dao of the Earth, knows the operation of the laws of heaven and earth, and naturally knows what the concept of time and space is. The world is able to be maintained because it has various laws in itself. It is because these laws come together and operate in an orderly manner that all living things, wind, frost, rain and dew are born. Among them, nature includes time and space. However, the law of time involves the entire universe. Even if Jiajing is the way of heaven on earth, if you want to reverse time and go back to the past, well, of course you can! That’s right, as the will of heaven on earth, if Jiajing wants to go back to the past, there will naturally be no problem. But there is another thing involved here, and that is the irreversibility of the world. To put it bluntly, even if he went back to the past, Jiajing would not be able to make changes to the past in order to affect the present and achieve his desired goal.
From now on, going back to the past and changing the past of the earth means synchronously changing the entire universe. It is like, although the Ming Dynasty had, in a sense, already separated from the earth, had been stripped away and was no longer a part of the earth. But if Jiajing wanted to change the natural climate of the Ming Dynasty, it would be equivalent to mobilizing the natural forces of the entire earth, which is often said as a single move affects the entire body. What Jiajing faced was a change in the entire natural force, and the Ming Dynasty could not avoid the final outcome. Jiajing had already tested this when he bound his destiny. As a result, the entire Ming Dynasty was counterattacked by the natural forces of the earth, and the southeastern coast was almost destroyed. (Note: See Chapter 241 for details.) So the same is true about time. That is to say, within the concept of time, the earth, including Jiajing himself, is within it. If you want to go back to the past and change the present, you can only jump out of the source of the time rules, which is this universe. Well, at that time, Jiajing could do whatever he wanted in the entire universe, and he was the real creator. But now, it’s not enough! Even in Jiajing's view, it would be impossible for him, let alone a real immortal. Therefore, even if Jiajing went back to the past, he could only watch everything happen and could not make any changes. However, the extraordinary nature of this immortal weapon, Qiankunjing, was revealed at this moment. That's right, because it has a law of time. In other words, within the realm of Qiankun, Jiajing can freely control time, past, present and future. In other words, the Qiankun Realm is an existence completely separated from this universe. As the master of the Qiankun Realm, Jiajing is an absolute god in this world. "Huh!" After exhaling heavily, Jiajing sighed, "No wonder this Qiankun Zhenren failed." "It's just because in this immortal weapon, he can independently adjust the flow of time. The speed of cultivation is simply incomparable to human power." "He can easily adjust the time in Qiankun to one minute in the outside world, but thousands or even tens of thousands of years in Qiankun." “But in this way, his cultivation is powerful, but it is limited to the Qiankun Realm, and what he comprehended is also the Dao in the Qiankun Realm. Although the Qiankun Realm is powerful, it is not a real world after all, and his final enlightenment is in this universe!” "This is like a person from another universe who wants to become an immortal in this universe, but carries with him an aura of rules that are not recognized by this universe..." "Well, you are such a blatant spy, are you trying to provoke me? In this way, when I arrange the heavenly tribulation for you, Heaven will definitely not leave you any chance of survival!" "There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from the heavens. If you escape one of them, this is the place where there is a glimmer of hope for survival. This is the gift of heaven!" "But this is a reward and opportunity for the creatures of this world and this universe. If it does not belong to this universe, then there is only one result: destruction!" "No," Jiajing suddenly thought of a suspicious point and said to himself, "This Qiankun Zhenren is an eight-tribulation immortal. In other words, he went through the previous eight heavenly tribulations by himself." "If this Qiankun Realm was his own, then he would definitely not be able to survive the previous eight heavenly tribulations." "For such opportunistic practices, and those that are not in accordance with the laws of this universe, the Heavenly Dao will never allow it. Did I misunderstand?" "Unless, this Qiankun Realm is not owned by Qiankun Zhenren, and he obtained it by chance." "The only information Qiankun Realm gave is that its owner is Qiankun Zhenren and some functions are introduced, but there is no information about its origin." "The reason for this is probably related to the realm being knocked down by the heavenly calamity."
Jiajing came to the conclusion that the first owner of this Qiankun Realm was definitely not Qiankun Zhenren. "However, these have nothing to do with me..." Jiajing's heart moved, and he spread out his palm. A palm-sized crystal stone appeared, flashing with white light. "Now, this thing belongs to me. I can freely control the flow of time..." There was a flickering light in Jiajing's deep eyes. That’s right, Jiajing also took a fancy to this ability to freely control the flow of time. The biggest gap between the Ming Dynasty and the world of immortal cultivation is not time or the small number of strong people, because these can be obtained through acquired efforts. The biggest gap between the Ming Dynasty and the world of immortal cultivation is time. Although Jiajing is now certain that the world of immortal cultivation and the Ming Dynasty are in the same universe. But the distance between them has probably already exceeded the cognition of a living being. After all, the information recorded from the Qiankun Mirror appearing in this universe was enough for Jiajing to see the almost endless time distance. The world of immortal cultivation was formed somewhere in this universe countless years ago. During this period, one era after another passed. I'm afraid even the academy cannot explain how profound the immortal foundation that has been accumulated there is. To be honest, Jiajing had never seen any hope of making up for this time gap. That's why he came up with the idea of combining immortality with technology to overtake the world of immortality. But even so, he still felt unsure. But now, the emergence of Qiankun Realm gave him hope. The Ming Dynasty can also use the freedom of time in the Qiankun Realm to realize a mythical vision of one hour "inside" and thousands of years "outside". "Wang Ziyi, who lived in the late Yuan Dynasty, once wrote in his book "Lost in Peach Blossom Spring" that 'seven days in the mountains is like a thousand years in the real world.' On the surface, this may be just a metaphor for the ever-changing world." "But, with the Qiankun Realm, this will become a reality!" Jiajing's heart couldn't help but "bang bang" beating, and he said: "And compared to Qiankun Zhenren, I have an advantage!" "In the hands of Qiankun Zhenren and others, Qiankun Realm is an alien product." "A smuggled item not recognized by this universe!" "But I am the Heavenly Dao of the Earth. Now it is my magic weapon. In other words, it has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, which is equivalent to it having an 'Earth household registration'." "In this way, cultivators who practice in the Qiankun Realm don't have to worry about being targeted by the Heavenly Dao!" Thinking of this, Jiajing took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the excitement in his heart. "However, the current Qiankun Realm is no longer the original immortal weapon, but a spiritual weapon." "The speed of time can only be adjusted to the state of 'days passing like years'. In other words, one year of cultivation in the realm is only one day in the outside world." "In addition, the spiritual veins in Qiankun Territory need to be re-laid, and they need to be continuously improved." "At least we have to make it look the same as the outside world. After all, since the Nascent Soul stage, my cultivation is not only about resources, but also about the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth."
"In the Qiankun realm, many laws do not exist. Those flowers, trees, mountains, rivers and land are all fake." "Only by fully absorbing different laws and various natural treasures can it be fully repaired." "The day when it is restored to its original state..." "However, it is enough for the current Ming Dynasty." "One hundred years of cultivation in Qiankun realm is only a hundred days in the outside world." "In a hundred years, if the supply of resources is sufficient, a large number of Jindan-stage cultivators will appear." "As for the comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth, cultivators at the Jindan stage and below don't need to worry. The Jindan stage doesn't need to be so anxious about the laws of heaven and earth." "At least, within a short period of time, the number of Jindan-stage cultivators in the Ming Dynasty can increase dramatically." "Moreover, I am now the Heavenly Dao of Earth. No matter how many Jindan-stage cultivators appear in the territory of Daming, they will not affect me." "At this moment, numbers have lost their meaning to me. Unless someone breaks through to the Spiritualization Stage immediately and possesses power that surpasses the Heavenly Dao..." Thinking of this, Jiajing shook his head again, "This is impossible!" "Under the law of heaven, nothing can escape the gaze of the gods. There will never be a scene like the one in the story books where the son of destiny goes against the will of heaven, because I am the destiny of heaven." At this moment, Jiajing felt a little safe. This extra sense of security allows him to let go and develop the Ming Dynasty. For example, the overall cultivation level of those millions of troops could be raised to the Foundation Establishment Stage, or even the Golden Core Stage. If the Ming Dynasty possessed an army of tens of millions of golden elixirs, then even in the entire world of immortal cultivation, it could be considered a colossal force, right? "Huh," Jiajing took a light breath and exhaled. He suppressed the madness in his heart and advised himself: "Don't get carried away. Stay calm." "The Ming Dynasty's power tower system needs to be maintained. I don't care, but if everyone is at the same level, the implementation of government orders and the allocation of resources..." "And so on. Many, many problems will arise. These are all problems for a country." "Therefore, the Tower of Power system can not only be broken, but must continue to be strictly enforced!" "In the Qiankun Realm, we can now improve the strength of the Imperial Household Department and the Cabinet, and then gradually develop the army." "And those who enter the Qiankun Realm are destined not to leave easily. We must also pay attention to the construction of this Qiankun Realm. Soldiers are also human beings and need a complete world..." Thinking of this, Jiajing calmed down all his emotions and put away the Qiankun Realm. After taking a final look at the ancient planet Mars, which was filled with red dust and mist, Jiajing continued to explore with his spiritual sense until he had thoroughly explored the entire Mars. This time, no objects related to the world of cultivation were found. However, just when Jiajing was preparing to set up the transfer array on the ancient star Mars, something strange happened! "Boom!" Suddenly, on the ancient star Mars, the extremely thin cloud atmosphere on the surface suddenly gathered together and formed a large and extremely gloomy black cloud. An extremely oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire ancient planet of Mars. At the same time, there was a force, as if there was some kind of will in the dark, that locked onto Jiajing.
"Is this, a thunder tribulation?" Feeling the restlessness of the Nascent Soul in his body and the Nascent Soul that had already revealed itself in his life and opened its eyes, Jiajing knew that this was his own thunder tribulation. After a Jindan-stage cultivator breaks through to the Yuanying stage, a thunder tribulation will descend from the sky. This is the first thunder tribulation on the cultivator's path of cultivation. When a Jindan-stage cultivator breaks through to the Yuanying stage, the total number of thunder tribulations is three. The types of thunder tribulations are generally determined by the properties that counteract the cultivator's spiritual energy, and the whole thing will be fine once you can get through it. For example, Jiajing’s spiritual attribute is fire. Generally speaking, the first triple thunder tribulation is most likely the Renshui tribulation. Well, as for the name of this thunder tribulation, it was given to it by our predecessors in ancient times. Ren is one of the ten heavenly stems, representing the attribute of water, and is Yang water. The ten heavenly stems include Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui, each of which represents different attributes of the five elements and yin and yang attributes. For example, Jia represents the wood element, which is Yang Wood, while Ren represents the water element, which is Yang Water. Therefore, Jiajing's first thunder tribulation was most likely the triple tribulation of Renshui, which was specifically designed to suppress his fire-attributed spiritual energy. "Boom!" Suddenly, a terrifying storm broke out on the ancient star Mars, and a huge storm tornado formed by red sand and dust rose into the sky. Above the sky, black clouds met the storm. A huge aqua-blue thunder penetrated through, and the red sandstorm tornado was wrapped and entangled by the aqua-blue thunder, appearing more mysterious and fantastic. "Buzz buzz buzz." The Qiankun Realm that recognized its master appeared automatically, as if to protect its master. At the same time, it also conveyed a message to Jiajing, that is, to enter the Qiankun Realm. Even though it has no spirit, the owner of the household has a high-level magic weapon and it has the instincts it possesses since it was refined. Seeing this, Jiajing shook his head slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at the thundering sandstorm that was getting closer and closer, and said: "This is my thunder tribulation, I will not hide from it!" "Besides, now that it's here, even if we take it this time, we'll have to try again next time." "Unless I stay in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise," Jiajing paused and continued: "Now we know that the Xiuxian world and the Ming Dynasty are in the same universe, so even if we hide in the Xiuxian world, we can't escape this thunder tribulation." As he thought about it, Jiajing's heart moved. He put away his Qiankun Realm, took a step forward, and took the initiative to go towards the thundering sandstorm. "As an immortal cultivator, I am only overcoming a tribulation. Naturally, I will not be timid! I am the Heavenly Dao of the Earth. Although I am on the ancient planet Mars, there is also a world behind me..." As he spoke, Jiajing looked straight ahead at the terrifying thunder that was coming towards him, and said, "Even if I stand still, can a mere triple disaster of Renshui still split the sky?" "..."
