Chapter 280 New goal: Urgently capture foreign technological civilization! "boom!" "Boom! Boom!" The aqua-blue thunder raged wildly, continuously hitting the golden transparent shield in front of Jiajing. Above Jiajing's head, the imperial seal was suspended, and a soft light golden light curtain fell down. Whenever a light golden light shield fell, ripples were created. Whenever thunder strikes the light shield, a heart-pounding roar is heard. There are only three triple disasters of Ren water in total. The first thunder tribulation lasts for one hour, the second for two hours, and the third for three hours. At this time, Jiajing was experiencing the third thunder tribulation. Because the atmosphere of the ancient planet Mars is too thin, thunderstorms can only form by relying on sandstorms.
As the Earth's Heavenly Dao, Jiajing could see through these basic ways of formation of wind, rain, thunder and lightning at a glance. Unlike on Earth, large-scale dust storms often occur on Mars, with wind speeds and scale far exceeding those on Earth. Dust particles in the dust storms become charged during the friction between them, resulting in discharge. Coupled with the fact that the natural calamity was caused by the element of "Tao", naturally, a large-scale thunderstorm occurred. "Bah!" The aqua-blue thunder tore through the dust storm tornado and poured down from the sky above Jiajing's head. The power of this thunder is also the strongest among the many thunders in the triple calamity of Renshui. "This is the last one." Jiajing stood with his hands behind his back and the imperial seal on his head. It was not as he had expected. Behind him was the power of a world. The small triple calamity of Renshui couldn't hurt him at all. "boom!" The water blue color was like a bolt of thunder as thick as a water tank, and a dazzling and heart-pounding light burst out between the light shield of the imperial seal protecting Jiajing. Afterwards, just as Jiajing had expected, the first thunder tribulation on the road of cultivation passed just like that. "Boom!" A sandstorm swept across the surface of the ancient planet Mars, but the power of thunder had already dissipated. At this time, the terrifying black vortex above the sky seemed to have finally released the sandstorm tornado. As the sandstorm tornado moved away, Jiajing's figure stood in the air. The dark vortex of clouds in the sky was still brewing, and the aqua-blue thunder continued to gather. "According to the 'General Notes on Cultivation', after each heavenly calamity, there will be rewards for the cultivators." Thinking of this, Jiajing had an idea and withdrew the imperial seal. Sure enough, the next moment, an orange-red bolt of lightning, like a flame, rushed towards Jiajing. Although the force was still as fierce, the feeling it gave to Jiajing was completely different from the previous thunder. Not only that, he could even feel, within this orange-red, flame-like lightning, an aura that was extremely compatible with his own spiritual energy.
At the same time, the spiritual energy of the whole body seemed to be pulled by something at this moment, and it was incomparably cheerful. The previous one was a water thunder tribulation, but this time the thunder was of fire attribute. This was one of the reasons why Jiajing concluded that the thunder tribulation this time was harmless to him. "boom!" Thunder blessed the Taoist, and Jiajing was directly wrapped in flames. At this moment, it seemed as if flames were growing out of the white Taoist robe. He was like a fire emperor, noble and graceful. But at this moment, Jiajing clearly saw a flame appear in Yuanying's hand. "This is... infant fire." Seeing this scene, Jiajing also had a flash of realization. According to the "General Notes on Cultivation", when a cultivator's cultivation breaks through to the Golden Core Stage, he will possess Dan Fire, and the properties of this Dan Fire are the same as those of spiritual energy. The quality of infant fire is naturally one level higher than that of elixir fire. This kind of flame is very helpful for refining one's own magical treasure. Of course, the refining that cultivators often talk about is not just using Dan fire or infant fire to refine certain objects, but also relying on pure cultivation to refine objects. Afterwards, as time passed, the flames gradually dissipated, and Jiajing's consciousness also left his Nascent Soul. At this time, the sky, which was originally gloomy, has completely returned to its clear state as the disaster clouds have darkened. "It's time to set up the teleportation array." Thinking of this, Jiajing began to set up the teleportation array on the ancient star Mars. Another half year has passed quickly. Jiajing built a total of six teleportation arrays on Mars. Next, Jiajing did not stop. After leaving the ancient planet Mars, he continued to move towards the planets in the solar system. After this departure, another twenty years passed in a flash. However, this time, apart from the discovery of some remains of technological civilization on Pluto, there were not many gains on other planets. However, during these twenty years, Jiajing encountered a lot of trouble, mostly due to the harsh environment of these planets. During this period, he also returned to the world of immortal cultivation several times. He purchased a lot of puppets from Tiangong Pavilion, which specialize in mining mineral resources on the planets in the solar system. Directly connect to the teleportation array and transport it back to Ming Dynasty. After all, except for the ancient star Mars, which allows cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training to move freely without being affected, the minimum survival standard for other stars is the Golden Core stage. Therefore, Jiajing had to do it himself. "It's time to go back." After taking a look at a valley on Pluto, where there were huge puppets with many tentacles constantly mining mineral veins, as well as a teleportation array that was running rumblingly, Jiajing had an idea and set up another large formation. Except for the Earth, all other planets in the solar system are attacked by meteorites from time to time. In order to prevent the teleportation array and puppets from being destroyed, Jiajing also purchased a number of extremely defensive protective magic arrays. Of course it’s more than that! During the past twenty years, while traveling around the planets, Jiajing also discovered many traces of other civilizations arriving on the planets in the solar system, such as what later generations called spaceships. In fact, spacecraft from extraterrestrial civilizations have also landed on the ancient planet Mars, and the special nature of the Qiankun Realm has also been discovered.
However, there is no record of other creatures entering Qiankun Realm. Jiajing could also figure out the reason for this. Even though he raised his hand and touched the rock wall, he easily entered the Qiankun Realm. But this does not mean that any living creature can easily enter the Qiankun realm. However, if you want to enter the Qiankun realm, there is a prerequisite, that is, you must have spiritual power! Otherwise, Qiankun Realm would not allow entry at all! However, to be on the safe side, Jiajing still left a lot of backup plans on the stars. In addition to the defensive array, there were also flying balls for attack and surveillance. In this huge universe, Jiajing did not believe that only the earth had people, and these extraterrestrial civilizations or races could rely on technology to come to the solar system from other galaxies. This is enough to show that these civilizations have their merits. However, although the technology of these extraterrestrial civilizations is powerful, Jiajing is not at all panicked. They will invade the earth. Firstly, when I was traveling among the stars, I found their traces, but they did not discover me. This shows that in front of the immortal civilization. In the end, although technological civilization has some advantages, they are also limited. Moreover, now the entire earth has become its own destiny. If these extraterrestrial civilizations dare to invade the earth, they will have only one end, and that is death! Or perhaps Jiajing was eager for them to come to Earth. In this way, we can contribute to the development of the combination of cultivation and scientific and technological civilization on Earth. Moreover, Jiajing had reason to believe that extraterrestrial civilizations might have noticed that the Earth’s development path was completely different from theirs, and the immortal civilization had also noticed it! If he still had some concerns and was wary of these extraterrestrial civilizations before he reached the Qiankun Realm, now he would rather regard the Earth as "bait." It lures extraterrestrial civilizations one after another to take the bait, and they come one after another, and then are captured by itself. After all, the next step for the Ming Dynasty is to launch the "Xianming Universe Plan", and it is inevitable that it will confront extraterrestrial civilizations! After suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Jiajing waved his hand, and the teleportation array and puppets he had set up disappeared after a ripple appeared in the void in front of him. It was as if nothing had ever happened. Of course, the same is true for teleportation arrays in other places on the planets in the solar system, which were blocked by his large formations. After doing all this, Jiajing used his magical power "Dayan Void Technique" to tear open the space and return to Earth. This time, it took Jiajing a full forty years from the time he left to the time he returned. Now it is the 140th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, and it is early March. In the past forty years, the Ming Dynasty did not seem to have made much progress, but the overseas countries developed very rapidly. For example, the spiritual network has been laid and has covered the entire world. Now the spiritual network can be called a global interconnection. Not only that, as the Ming Dynasty continued to purchase goods from the world of immortal cultivation, many spirit weapons were also introduced in large quantities. Although the current level of weapon refining in the Ming Dynasty is already capable of refining various magical instruments, Jindan-stage cultivators, such as Lu Fang, Yan Song and others, can already refine treasure weapons. However, in order to refine spiritual weapons, no one is qualified except Jiajing, a Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, this is not a problem for the Ming Dynasty today. After all, the families of the people in the cabinet have already begun to take root and develop in the world of immortal cultivation for several decades now. In many remote places of Lingxu Island, there are already some small local immortal cultivation families. The Ming Dynasty is now in need of spiritual tools for its development, or more precisely, tool spirits for refining spiritual tools. So the families in the cabinet began to purchase tool spirits in large quantities from the major cities for cultivating immortals. As for what the spirit tool is for? Of course, it is to better develop the spiritual energy industrial era. For example, as the Ming Dynasty seeks to develop a new path that combines science and technology with cultivation, the requirements for the products of the spiritual industry will naturally become higher, especially in the research and development of weapons. Some machine tools are now maintained by manual labor. If they have machine spirits, they can be fully automated and the speed will continue to increase. As for weapon spirits, according to the "General Notes on Cultivation·Weaponry Chapter", weapon spirits are basically the souls and primordial spirits of living beings, which are combined with treasures after death, either actively or passively, with the help of special magic arrays and refining secrets. If you want a spiritual weapon to have higher quality, that means the weapon spirit had a higher level of cultivation during its lifetime. For example, if a spiritual weapon has a spirit that was at the Jindan stage before its incarnation, then the quality of this spiritual weapon would generally be defined as a mid-grade spiritual weapon. The spirit's cultivation level before its incarnation is between Qi training and foundation building, which is lower grade; from Golden Elixir to Nascent Soul is middle grade; from Spirit Transformation to Refining Void is upper grade; and from Fusion to Mahayana is the ultimate grade. Of course, this is what we say, but it is all theoretical. The criteria for judging a true spiritual weapon must also be combined with the materials used, the refining techniques, and which famous artist created it. Some artifact spirits were in the foundation-building stage during their lifetime, and the spiritual artifacts they refined might be of medium or even high quality. Therefore, the so-called written standards can be taken for granted. The weapon spirits in the Jindan stage are still reliable, but those in the Yuanying stage are almost impossible to capture. After all, whether it is a human or an ancient beast, the Yuanying stage can take over another body and be reborn. It is impossible to be caught by others. Even if a cultivator or ancient beast that had reached this level of cultivation in their lifetime were captured by someone, even if they self-destructed and died together with others, they would not become a weapon spirit. As a result, the cultivation level of the weapon spirit during its lifetime is generally below the Jindan stage. This also leads to the fact that the price of a weapon spirit is very expensive. After all, any weapon spirit whose cultivation level was in the Qi Refining Stage during his lifetime can also refine a high-quality spiritual weapon. The spirit weapons at the foundation-building and golden elixir levels are even more expensive. However, for Daming, the purpose is not to refine spiritual weapons. It just needs the weapon spirit to help operate the factory machine tools and realize the automation of the spiritual factory. Therefore, the requirement for the spirit of the weapon does not require the expensive "living spirit", only the "dead spirit" is enough. After all, an artifact spirit requires the soul or spirit of a living being to be refined into it, so resistance is inevitable in the process, and only a few people will surrender. In this case, some special methods have to be used, such as erasing consciousness and cultivating it again. If you are not careful during the process, the weapon spirit will completely become an uncultivable weapon spirit and become a rigid "dead spirit". The price of these "dead spirits" is naturally much lower than that of "living spirits". For example, if a spirit weapon was at the first level of Qi training during its lifetime, the price of a "living spirit" is one thousand taels of spiritual energy, then the price of a "dead spirit" is five hundred taels. Then, whether it was the "Mingri Building" or the various families in the cabinet, they all began to secretly purchase large quantities of "Dead Souls" and transport them back to Ming Dynasty. Therefore, several decades later, the internal construction of the Ming Dynasty, such as the magic arrays in some major cities for cultivating immortals, has been managed by weapon spirits, as well as the traffic police in road management. In addition, there are also spirit weapons inside the "Network Monitoring Office" to assist the yamen runners in handling cases and monitoring the spiritual network.
In short, "Qi Ling" has been integrated into all aspects of the Ming Dynasty, constantly improving the development of the Ming Dynasty. Then there are the overseas spiritual tool factories. Through the spiritual network connection, one spiritual tool can control several machine tools. The natural result of this is that the speed of development of the spiritual weapon industry era will increase again. Previously, Xu Fan was asked to research various powerful weapons that combined technology and cultivation, and now he has reaped considerable rewards. Some warships modified according to the shuttle are equipped with many powerful spiritual cannons that use "burning stew stones" as energy. When enough energy is stored, the power is extremely great. In addition, there are many artillery shells, which, combined with weapon spirits and spiritual networks, can achieve tracking and timed explosions. Although the power of these weapons is constantly improving, the current Ming Dynasty has still not embarked on the road of scientific and technological civilization. Although these weapons are powerful, they are a combination of the immortal technology in "The Records of Immortal Craftsmanship" and things like "Burning Stone", "Spirit Net", and "Na Line". The foundation of true scientific and technological civilization is science! In today's Ming Dynasty, the understanding of these things only remains between "0" and "1". It was indeed powerful, but only Jiajing understood that it was just standing still on the basis of the immortal civilization, and the essence had not changed at all. "Fortunately, I have discovered many relics of scientific and technological civilization from the stars outside the domain this time." Thinking of this, after Jiajing finished watching the Ming Dynasty, he looked up at the sky and murmured: "But this is not enough. It seems that we need to find a way to capture foreign technological civilization to help Ming Dynasty." "..." (End of this chapter)
