Chapter 316 The secret of mortal bones, at the beginning of the world, Li Changqing’s huge ambition, Jiajing’s heart was moved! Looking at Li Changqing, who was no longer as arrogant as before in front of him, Jiajing did not have any special thoughts. Li Changqing is a man who knows the times, a smart man, and an ambitious man. Although he has not had much contact with him, he has already seen through him. Moreover, Jiajing knew very well why Li Changqing suddenly lowered his posture so much. The reason was not only because his cultivation had broken through to the Mahayana stage, but also because he mistakenly thought he was from the Ziwei Star Region, the Suzaku Ancient Dynasty, and the Ming Palace. Li Changqing was undoubtedly a very ambitious person. This person wanted to use the power of the ancient Suzaku Dynasty and the Ming Palace to seize power in the White Horse Academy. There is nothing wrong with this idea. Unfortunately, he misjudged himself. A thought flashed through his mind, and Jiajing nodded slightly. He motioned for Li Changqing to take a seat and poured him a cup of tea. "What's the matter with you, Mr. Li?" Jiajing asked knowing the answer. "With your wisdom, you must have guessed it," Li Changqing said with a slight pause, then smiled and said: "I'm still used to calling you sir."
Jiajing raised his hand comfortably, and the stone bench behind him turned into a stone chair. He then leaned back in the chair without saying anything. Seeing this, Li Changqing naturally knew that Jiajing allowed him to continue calling him "Sir". "The Central Plains clan has indeed been too presumptuous in recent years. I also want to teach them a lesson so that they can learn not to underestimate anyone and understand that there is always someone better than you." Li Changqing did not hide the fact that the three people, old, middle-aged and young, came to him for their own reasons, but he did not admit it openly. When dealing with smart people, sometimes as long as the intention is conveyed, that's enough. Isn't this a test for Jiajing? He explained the matter in a more obscure way. If Jiajing pursued the matter, he would not reveal the full truth and would have a way out. If Jiajing did not take this opportunity to pursue the matter, he would also have the opportunity to propose cooperation. Obviously, in his opinion, Jiajing's attitude meant that he would not pursue the matter, which made Li Changqing feel relieved. Well, it seems that Mr. Zhu Cong, the man I have taken a fancy to, is not the kind of person who would become arrogant after a sudden rise in status. Otherwise, even if the other party's cultivation has reached the Mahayana stage, in his eyes he is at most a high-end combat force, rather than a powerful leader with whom he can work and cooperate. In this vast world of cultivating immortals, the strong are indeed respected, and those with high levels of cultivation can sometimes represent everything. But what Li Changqing wants is power! How can one be in power? One needs people and power. And all those with high cultivation must obey him. This is called power! Just like the dynasties in Ziwei Star Region, laws control the world, and the emperor is above the laws. Once these words were spoken, all the people submitted. Otherwise, no matter how high your cultivation is, you are just a reckless man. He has experienced the beauty of power since he was a child. Just like his current cultivation level, it is only the late Golden Core stage, and is even far from the Nascent Soul stage. But because of his identity and the power behind him, even powerful monks who are several realms higher than him must treat him with courtesy. If he encounters some powerful monks who have families to support and are suffering from heavy burdens, he can even subdue them. But now Li Changqing feels that the power he has is not enough, far from enough. What Li Changqing pursues is absolute control over the academy. Even after taking control of the academy, they could develop it into their own private property, or even become a dynasty like Ziwei Star.
The power at the top, this is what he pursues. Li Changqing suppressed these thoughts in his mind, and showed a gentle smile on his face, and continued: "Sir, don't worry, I will warn the other three major sects later." After saying this, seeing that Jiajing showed no sign of being moved, Li Changqing continued, "In the future, this entire Sifang City will belong to the Ming Dynasty!" "Mr. Li." At this time, Jiajing suddenly spoke slowly, "The Ming Dynasty is independent." The Ming Dynasty is independent? Li Changqing was stunned at first, and then he suddenly realized and showed a confident smile on his face. "What you said is exactly what I wanted to say." "The Ming Dynasty has been independent since the beginning. It does not belong to anyone, nor is it a subordinate of any force." How could Li Changqing not understand that what Jiajing said was meant to officially cut ties with him? Although his previous relationship with the Ming Dynasty was cooperative on the surface, the real situation was the forces under his command. He naturally understood that Mr. Zhu Cong's words were meant to make it clear to him that if anything happened in the future, it would be a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. And Li Changqing could never again command the Ming Dynasty. Li Changqing had no idea about this. He looked down upon everyone in the Daming Immortal Sect except Zhu Cong in front of him. It doesn’t matter whether there is such a force working for him or not, as long as Zhu Cong can cooperate with him. "Mr. Li, just tell me what your purpose is in coming here." Li Changqing agreed readily, and Jiajing's face relaxed slightly. Li Changqing mistakenly thought that he was a member of the royal family of the ancient Suzaku Dynasty, and probably came here for this reason, but Jiajing did not intend to deny it. Don't take the initiative, don't refuse, and don't be responsible. If you, Li Changqing, like to misunderstand, then just misunderstand. I have never admitted that I am a descendant of the Ming King of the Ancient Suzaku Dynasty. As for whether Li Changqing would turn against me after knowing the truth, Jiajing didn't care at all. In the future, his Ming Dynasty will sooner or later come into conflict with the people in the academy. It can be said that they have always been in a hostile relationship. "Sir, have you ever heard of a legend?" Li Changqing suddenly said mysteriously. Legend? Jiajing did not rush to speak, but looked at Li Changqing, motioning him to continue. "Legend has it that the human world and the fairy world were the same world in the beginning." Li Changqing said, and waved his big hand lightly on the stone table, and then a sandbox world appeared on the stone table. Jiajing was not surprised by this scene. In fact, when one's cultivation reaches the Golden Core Stage, one can already practice supernatural powers. What Li Changqing displayed at this moment was just the most common magical power of "Thousands of Changes". A small magical power that is used to deceive the eyes. To be precise, this minor magical power is possessed by almost every Jindan stage cultivator. After all, many large sects and families will arrange for disciples to go to the mortal society for training when their cultivation reaches a certain level. It is easier for cultivators above the Jindan stage. They rarely need to go out into the secular world to gain experience and hone their character. They usually spend their time in the sect's secret realm of illusion.
For those who have reached a high level, they must experience the mundane world in the real world, and use these magical powers in the process. In order to avoid too much entanglement with mortal society, mastering the art of transformation can avoid a lot of trouble. "The human world and the fairy world are in the same world?" Upon hearing this, Jiajing couldn't help but become interested. Because in the Ming Dynasty, there were also many mythological stories that told about how humans and gods once lived in the same world. For example, there are records in ancient books such as "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Huainanzi" and "Chu Ci". Unexpectedly, there is such a record in the world of cultivating immortals. However, if this happened in the world of cultivating immortals, it would most likely be true, rather than a fictional legend. In addition, these words came from Li Changqing's mouth, which means that the person in front of him has some plans. As Li Changqing tells the story, a miniature universe, a world full of chaos and order, begins to take shape. Afterwards, the sky full of stars began to expand rapidly, and then quickly contracted, turning into a black dot in an instant. At this time, the sandbox universe is a transparent ball of light, and at the innermost part is a small black dot. "Please look, sir..." Li Changqing said with a slight smile. He put his thumb and index finger together, then opened them. Then the small black dot slowly enlarged, and then the black filled the entire ball of light. At the deepest part of the black light spot, it gradually became darker, and then turned grayish white in the center. "Boom, boom, boom, boom..." Suddenly, a faint heartbeat was heard. “This is the source of everything!” As Li Changqing spoke, he gently brushed his palm across the sandbox, and then he saw a baby lying in the center of the gray. Seeing this, Jiajing couldn't help but stare at it. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously glanced at Li Changqing. His intuition told him that Li Changqing was telling him about the origin of the entire universe. And what he wanted to say was that at the very beginning of the entire universe, a life was born, which was the baby in front of him. "Is this the story of Pangu creating the world?" Jiajing thought of an ancient mythological text he had read before. "The universe was in chaos like an egg, and Pangu was born in it. After 18,000 years, the universe was created, the yang was the sky, and the yin was the earth..." Thinking of this, Jiajing just wondered if Li Changqing was crazy. "Sir, please read it again." Seeing Jiajing's doubtful eyes, Li Changqing smiled faintly and said, "I know this looks incredible, but please be patient and read it." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the center of the black light ball seemed to be wiped off several layers. Originally, only the very center was gray, but now the entire light ball had turned gray. To be exact, it is chaos. However, at this moment, Jiajing's eyes were fixed on the center of the chaos. The original baby had now grown into a graceful young girl. "Hiss!" After seeing the appearance of this girl, Jiajing's heart couldn't help but jump violently, and he subconsciously took a breath. He had seen this girl before! When he was building a teleportation array for the Ming Dynasty on the moon, he had seen it under the mountain fault on the back of the moon! And he also got a third vertebra.
"Could this be the origin of the spine?!" Jiajing's heart was pounding. He didn't expect that the spine, which looked like that of a mortal, actually had such a great origin. Li Changqing just glanced at Jiajing's change of expression and didn't care anymore, thinking that he was just shocked by the scene. Well, just like when he first saw it, he couldn’t imagine that the whole world was born in this way. The girl is still sleeping at this moment. Long breathing and even heartbeat. With every breath, the entire chaos rolls, and with every heartbeat, a star is born. Then Li Changqing waved his hands several times, and the entire Shahe world evolved from the original chaos into one world. As for the girl, she had disappeared. "Hmm?" Jiajing looked at Li Changqing in confusion. To be honest, he didn't quite understand. "Don't worry, sir." Li Changqing shook his head slightly and continued waving his hand, and the sandbox world began to expand. "What we see before our eyes is what I said before, a world where the immortal world and the human world coexist." He The sandbox is still changing. In the beginning, the world was in chaos. Time and space do not exist here. Land can grow from the sky, and on the land there are birds, beasts, humans, and of course many other creatures. As time went by, order began to evolve, mountains and rivers gradually formed, stars, sun and moon appeared in the sky, vegetation began to grow on the earth, and animals began to appear. Unfortunately, the world still has no clear boundaries. There is land in the sky and there is sky above the land. The boundary between the sky and the earth is still blurred, but the connection between the two is becoming closer and closer. Li Changqing's hands kept waving. Then, gradually, the chaos began to become clear. A world appeared in the sky, and another world appeared on the earth, with a dome of sky in the middle. The people in heaven appeared first, and not only that, they were born with unique abilities. They will not experience birth, aging, sickness or death, nor will they be troubled by diseases. Not only that, they also possess all kinds of incredible powers. In the world above, humans are experiencing a reproduction process like wild beasts. When the world above has begun to use the power of rules to create everything, people on earth are still eating raw meat and drinking blood, and a small natural disaster could kill a large number of them. Seeing this, Jiajing also understood that the world in heaven should be the fairyland, and the world on earth is the human world. Afterwards, as people from the heavenly world came to the earthly world, interactions between the human world and the fairy world began to become frequent. Then, the two worlds began to exchange what they had. The immortals in the fairy world and the mortals in the human world can travel freely. Not only that, the immortals also passed down various methods of cultivation. These are the methods of cultivating immortals. Then more and more mortals, through cultivation, ascended to the heavenly world and became immortals.
But suddenly one day, as more and more people ascended to heaven effortlessly, the fairyland began to become less pure. The seven emotions and six desires began to appear, and then there was war. After that, one force after another appeared, killing and fighting. After an unknown amount of time, the path of immortal cultivation for mortals began to become difficult, and the heavens began to send down tests. More and more mortals began to perish, and cultivating immortality became increasingly difficult. At the same time, the boundary between the two worlds began to become clear. Those below kept sinking, and those above kept rising, and even the sky in the middle was torn into two. Finally, everything returned to normal, and the two worlds were no longer connected. Only those who had experienced the test would be guided by the light from the upper realm and pass through the ascension channel to enter the fairyland again. After watching the evolution process of the human world and the fairy world, Li Changqing suddenly waved his hand again, and the sandbox world continued to shrink. Then it returns to the chaos of the universe again. This time, Jiajing saw it clearly. He saw the girl's arms were in a hugging position, with a ball of light in each hand. These two balls of light are exactly the human world and the fairyland just now. This time, Jiajing finally understood that it was this girl who separated the two worlds. Her hands were slowly pulling the two worlds apart, pulling them further and further apart. The human world is in the left hand and the fairyland is in the right hand. What a shocking scene. This scene is different from the heroic scene in the myth where Pangu used a sharp axe to split the world into pieces! But this silent but real scene makes people's scalps tingle and goose bumps appear all over their bodies. However, what puzzled Jiajing was that the girl's body began to become transparent. Unknown energy continued to flow into the two worlds. Although he didn't know what this energy was, the three words "vitality" inexplicably appeared in Jiajing's mind. As the girl's vitality continued to flow in, the human world gradually became larger and more perfect. Of course, compared to the human world, the fairy world was even more exaggerated and terrifying. The girl's flesh began to disappear. You can clearly see the blood vessels, the flowing blood, and the delicate bones inside. But the sleeping girl didn't seem to intend to stop. There is still an endless supply of vitality flowing into the two worlds, and then the blood vessels disappeared, the blood dried up, and the bones began to become transparent and disappear. The two worlds, one on the left and one on the right, continued to devour both sides of her body. Finally, the vast fairyland began to slowly merge into the universe, and eventually disappeared completely, and its whereabouts were unknown. After the human world has absorbed enough life force, it turns into a sky full of stars, spreading throughout the universe. What remained in place was the girl's last remaining spine, which had not been completely consumed. "Buzz!" In the universe, two meteorites collided, and the stones that burst out flew at a high speed and hit the spine hard. The next moment, the spine shattered into pieces. The last bit of life force on it protected it from being shattered. It turned into thirty-four streams of light, escaped into the void, and disappeared completely. At this point, the evolution of the sandbox world ends. "Huh!" Li Changqing took a deep breath and exhaled, looking at Jiajing and smiling, "Sir, do you understand?" "So this is the reason why Li Changqing treasured that mysterious spine!" Thinking of the three vertebrae he had obtained, Jiajing suddenly realized that they were not the spines of ordinary people at all.
To be precise, it is not a human spine at all. The reason why it gives people the feeling of a mortal spine is entirely because the girl used herself to feed two worlds and the entire universe, and after exhausting her life force, she turned into mortal bones. "Reason tells me that this is just a legend," Jiajing suppressed the thought in his heart and looked at Li Changqing. After a slight pause, he said: "But from what I know about you, you wouldn't come all the way here just to tell me a story." "Evidence," Jiajing said, leaning forward slightly, staring at Li Changqing, and said, "And your purpose!" If Jiajing were to give an evaluation of Li Changqing, he would say that he was a complete ambitious person. This person is just like me, both are result-oriented and only think about benefits. Today, he suddenly told me the secret of the spine, which is actually a bargaining chip for him. One that can cooperate with himself, or to be more precise, the so-called "Ancient Suzaku Dynasty" Ming Palace behind him. In his opinion, he was just a child of the Li family, one of the three major branches of the Baima Academy, and was not qualified to cooperate with the Ming Palace. Therefore, he must come up with more and bigger chips to make the Ming Palace value his value! Of course, he has other secrets about this spine. After all, it's a collaboration, and if he reveals them all, he will be worthless. Moreover, with the power of the ancient Suzaku Dynasty, it is not impossible to find more vertebrae. "Here is the evidence!" Li Changqing knew that Mr. Zhu Cong in front of him was interested in him. With a confident smile on his face, he raised his hand and took out a spine. Then, without any further ado, he directly took out his chips. "Sir, when the last piece of the spine is found, the passage between the immortals and the mortals will be opened, and all the heavens and the myriad worlds will be connected. All creatures of all races will be able to freely enter the immortal world..." "What do you think will happen if we master the passage between immortals and mortals?" Although Li Changqing was smiling, Jiajing saw madness in his feminine and handsome face. Of course, Jiajing was also a very greedy man. The moment he heard about Li Changqing's huge ambition, he was also moved. There were too many things that could be done here. "It's not enough." As an emperor, Jiajing was best at not showing his emotions on his face. He must get more secrets about the mortal spine, because there are still many things that have not been explained clearly. For example, how to open the channel? For example, can you become an immortal by opening up a channel? According to Li Changqing's previous sandbox world, the liquefaction process of the fairyland and the human world, the rules of the two worlds have been perfected. It is no longer like the beginning that you can become a fairy after practicing and ascending to heaven. Since Li Changqing dares to use this thing as a bargaining chip for cooperation, he must be holding other secrets. "..." (End of this chapter)
