Chapter 1578 Secret

Jiang Shu finally woke up from the joy of practice, looking at the star map of the current war situation, his complexion turned dark.

Once, to be exact, thirty years ago, the Tianshui Empire and the Minghui Empire were evenly matched. Everyone competed for the tongue-rolling star official, and each side got half.

At this time, the territory of the Minghui Empire was 900 light-years, and the territory of the Tianshui Empire was more than 800 light-years. But because the territory of the Tianshui Empire is located in the Sanyuan area, there are more stars.

At that time, the imperial capital of the Tianshui Empire was 480 light years away from the front line.

Now, the Minghui Empire has already occupied all the tongue-twister star officials, and has even approached the skyship star officials. The space ship star official is less than 150 light-years away from the Daling star official where the Tianshui Empire is located!

what does that mean? It means that the south of Tianshui Empire has almost lost more than 300 light-years of territory, and the empire's territory has shrunk by at least 40%!

But the war has reached this level, it is no longer a matter of territory, but... the Tianshui Empire has already run out of ammunition and food.

As the war continued, the military personnel and warships of both sides were greatly consumed.

But gradually, the industrial capacity of the Minghui Empire exploded, and the situation began to change.

In the past, a warship required at least a thousand boatmen and more than a dozen elites to jointly control; but now the Blue Star Group's warships only need dozens of boatmen and more than a dozen elites. When necessary, three or five people are not out of the question. The advancement of intelligent technology has made everything possible.

In addition, the explosion of industrial production capacity made the Blue Star Group completely indifferent to the loss of warships. Often automated systems are used to control the charge of battleships, creating opportunities for rearward battles.

Especially recently, some 'skeleton' spaceships have appeared one after another. These spaceships have a simple control room and power systems such as nuclear islands, and then one or several rail guns. Three or five people can control such a battleship.

What's more, the Blue Star Group still has 'smart life' - it's no secret that the war has been fought until now. How powerful is intelligent life? If people can run away along the wireless network, just ask if you are afraid.

Even some intelligent beings feel that they can't come back, and they can back up in advance. Once the main body dies, the backup is automatically activated! Or it can be activated by other intelligent life, or artificially.

Backed by the Blue Star Group and its industrial production capacity, which has grown into a behemoth, the Minghui Empire is getting stronger and stronger; the battleship technology is constantly being updated. Various assistive technologies emerge in endlessly.

What Skynet reconnaissance technology, ultra-long-range astronomical observation technology, cold nuclear fusion, fortress-level rail gun, brand-new particle cannon, seventh-generation ultra-fast warp engine, mecha, ultra-fast communication, interstellar high-speed channel, etc., only Tianshui Empire There is nothing that the other side can't think of, and nothing the other party can't provide.

On the contrary, the warships of the Tianshui Empire have been accumulated little by little over the years. The war is getting worse and worse. The losses on the front line are too great, the supplies in the rear are already insufficient, the number of battleships is getting smaller and smaller, and the number of troops is also getting smaller and smaller. The soldiers are all timid to fight. Some even secretly surrendered,

War is a competition of comprehensive national strength. As for the industrialized Bluestar Group, its war potential has exploded. Not to mention that the Tianshui Empire Alliance has fallen apart, and the Blue Star Group is gathering greater war power.

What Jiang Shu sees now is such a star map and such a situation. Needless to say, Jiang Shu hesitated for a long time, but still found Mo Qiuyu.

Jiang Shu did not 'invite' Mo Qiuyu to directly participate in the war, but asked Mo Qiuyu to leave as soon as possible and go to the Minghui Empire to 'accuse'.

But Mo Qiuyu couldn't hide this little thought; she thought for a while and said: "Your aptitude is very good, and you have completely activated the blood of the saint in your body. It is said that you should have entered the peak of Daluo Golden Immortal after so many years, Maybe even Dzogchen."

Jiang Shu sighed slightly and didn't speak.

Mo Qiuyu shook his head slightly: "You are in the wrong direction. We are practitioners, not emperors. Would you rather be an immortal practitioner, or an emperor with a limited lifespan?"

Jiang Shu was surprised: "If you don't become a quasi-sage, who dares to say you won't die?"

Mo Qiuyu hesitated before saying: "There have always been legends in the world of practice that a quasi-sage can live for millions of years, but the reality is that a quasi-sage seems to be immortal. Don't you have any doubts?"

Lifespan is an eternal topic for practitioners; not only practitioners, but ordinary people are also concerned about it. Some people may not be afraid of death, but no one wants to die if they can live.

It is generally believed that the lifespan of ordinary people is only a few decades - people over seventy are a true portrayal of ordinary people.

In the world of practice, people who are at the third level and below the Qi refining stage are generally counted as ordinary people; in some places, the standard is even raised to the sixth or ninth level at the Qi refining stage. When counting the population, it is not even counted.

I also want to say here that in the traditional practice world, after all, only a few people can become practitioners. Dayang Group and Tianyuanxing Civilization are among the few that have popularized education. Most of them are "following the fate"-practice, what we are talking about is fate!

Moreover, in the traditional practice environment, because of problems such as skills and resources, there are only a few who can continue to break through. To support the practice of the whole people, resources beyond imagination are needed. In the natural state, the resources on a planet are not enough to support too many practitioners.

After Qi refining comes the foundation building period, which is the first step in practice.

The foundation building period can break the shackles of life for the first time. Basically, as long as you don't die during the foundation building period, there is no problem with a hundred-year lifespan. If you practice a little and pay attention to maintenance, there are many foundation-building periods around 160 years old, and it is not uncommon for them to be over 200 years old.

After that is the golden elixir period, which is generally considered to have a lifespan of at least 200 years. But after the golden core period, the calculation of lifespan is more complicated.

During the whole practice process, the lifespan limit is doubled. However, the life limit does not represent the actual life.

There is a saying that the "actual lifespan" is "ten times" the "residual lifespan of the previous layer"; but there is also a limit, the limit of the Jindan period is 500 years old. Because 500 years old is the standard of Yuanying realm.

Of course, practice is not a card data. There are also golden core stages who live to six hundred years old, but they are too few to be used as a reference.

It is generally believed that the life limit keeps doubling. Some special big realms, especially some realms of 'qualitative change', will be improved more.

10 times the remaining lifespan of the previous layer, and the limit of the theoretical lifespan of the current layer, the lifespan is calculated based on the first arrival.

Building foundation 100, Jindan 200, Yuanying 500, Huashen 1000, dharma appearance 2,000, cave emptiness 5,000, return to truth 10,000, pure yang 20,000, return to emptiness realm starts from 40,000 years, and each breakthrough level increases lifespan by about 5,000 .

The limit of the virtual realm, some say 90,000 and some say 100,000, but it's about the same. The life span of Jinxian is 200,000, and that of Daluo Jinxian is 500,000. To Zhunsheng, in principle, it is a million years.

Here's the theory.

But the actual situation is that before returning to the true state, the general life span exceeds the "theoretical value"; after returning to the true state, it is generally less than the theoretical value. Especially after the Golden Immortal, the lifespan often shrinks greatly.

Some people think that the higher you go, the more you touch the limit of the law of heaven and earth.

But in any case, everyone still agrees with this speculation about the million-year lifespan of the quasi-sage. But the actual situation is... the quasi-sage is almost immortal!

Thousands of years after the Holy Emperor, except for a few quasi-sages who died in battle, the rest were alive and kicking, and the longer they lived, the stronger they became. In the entire Zhoutian world, there is no such thing as quasi-sage aging, the five declines of heaven and man, etc.

It's not that everyone has doubts, but it's been a long time... that's it, everyone has turned a blind eye. Quasi-sage, don't think about it, go to sleep.

Although Jiang Shu is now in the late stage of Daluo Jinxian, he is also a member of all living beings. Therefore, he scoffed at the saying that the quasi-sage could live for a million years.

But now when Mo Qiuyu asked, he got stuck.

Mo Qiuyu waited for a while, and finally spoke softly: "Actually, the lifespan of a million years is about the Great Perfection of the Great Luo Jinxian."

"Ah..." Jiang Shu didn't react for a while, but he was surprised the next moment, "Dzogchen... quasi-sage... wait, can it be said that Da Luo Jinxian's Dzogchen is equivalent to a quasi-sage? But...but... "

"But the Great Luo Jinxian is not a quasi-sage after all, right?"

Jiang Shu nodded.

Mo Qiuyu sighed leisurely, "Actually, this involves some secrets. To explain it clearly, we have to start from the era of the Holy Emperor.

In the era of the Holy Emperor, there was no so-called Da Luo Jinxian Dzogchen. After the peak of Da Luo Jinxian, he is the quasi-sage. At that time, the quasi-sage had a lifespan of a million years.

But then the situation changed. The Holy Emperor arranged a large array of Zhoutian, transformed the entire starry sky, and let Zhunsheng supervise it.

The Zhoutian formation can be regarded as a manifestation of the ability of the saint, or it is a kind of ability of the saint, the authority to control the heaven and the earth.

Later, the holy emperor disappeared, and the quasi-sages gradually took charge of the formation. But in the same way, in this process, the quasi-sages gradually controlled the big formation, and then stole the authority of heaven and earth through the big formation, and obtained the abilities that some saints have.

This is what we call 'combination'.

The authority they received was mainly divided into two parts. Part of it is longevity, the same longevity as heaven and earth. Part of it is authority, representing the shepherds of heaven. "

"But everything has a price.

The quasi-sages have gained life span and rights, which will inevitably affect the practice status of the whole world. At present, it is still unclear what impact it has caused, and the quasi-sages are also silent.

But one thing is certain, that is, there is an additional realm of Daluo Jinxian Dzogchen at the level of practice.

In the past, after crossing the peak of the Daluo Jinxian, one could comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and break through the quasi-sage. Now, after Da Luo Jinxian peak... can't feel any chance. The only change, perhaps, is that the lifespan reaches the million-year level. "

Jiang Shu was dumbfounded. After a long while, he asked tremblingly, "Then how many Da Luo Jinxians are now Dzogchen?"

"A lot. Because of the relatively long lifespan, the accumulation of more, and the more perfect cultivation in these years, it is estimated that there are no less than a thousand people in the state of Dzogchen. It is said that there are also many people who have closed the death gate and sealed themselves."

Jiang Shu was silent for a while, then said leisurely: "Since this is the case, we should build and protect the country. Can we build the country into a small Zhoutian galaxy?

Can you stay, we can build a paradise together. "
