Chapter 693: Light and Sound Communication
After 129,000 years in the Eight Wastelands, Chen Jingzhai was still driving the Qingzhai Immortal Ship to travel. During this process, he began to refine his own holy weapon. The first holy weapon was the Devouring Gourd. He used his innate energy and many materials to let the Devouring Gourd devour, and finally succeeded in being promoted.
The second holy weapon was the Stele of Destruction, which was originally the prototype of a holy weapon. After ten thousand years of cultivation by Chen Jingzhai using the innate energy and the power of disasters and evil spirits in the Holy Land of Eight Desolations, it was successfully promoted. The original Chu Universe was only a Daluo-level universe, and once the Stele of Destruction was promoted, it was equivalent to breaking the shackles.
So in terms of power and attack force, the Destruction Stele is more powerful. However, the Devouring Gourd can devour everything. After being promoted to a holy weapon, it can also devour the universe. The space in the gourd itself is a holy universe, but there is nothing inside.
Chen Jingzhai plans to upgrade the Qingzhai Immortal Ship to a holy weapon, but the Qingzhai Immortal Ship has many parts, and it is very difficult to upgrade. Fortunately, the clone of the Qingzhai Fairy is a digital life, and the progress can be fully digitized. Moreover, the innate qi is omnipotent and can be accumulated.
Holy artifacts are excellent treasures for saints to protect their way and are necessities, but for the Lord of the Universe, the role of holy artifacts is not that great. After all, the mobilization of the power of the universe is more powerful than the full-strength burst of a saint. With the Eight Desolate Holy Land in hand, Chen Jingzhai can be invincible.
But the holy weapon refining team is also beneficial to him. In addition to sorting out his own understanding of the laws, he can also give it to the women to protect themselves. After all, the universe kingdom is said to be very dangerous and far from as peaceful as imagined. So in order to avoid problems, Chen Jingzhai continues to refine the holy weapon.
It is worth mentioning that in order to allow Emperor Xingxiu to sit firmly on the dragon throne, Chen Jingzhai also specially upgraded the Nine Dragon Fairy Bell, the Sky-viewing Mirror, the Jade Emperor Sword and other fairy treasures to the level of holy weapons. Unlike the Devouring Gourd and the Destruction Stele, these holy weapons are holy weapons in the Eight Desolate Holy Land, but they cannot be used outside the Eight Desolate Holy Land.
In other words, these immortal treasures such as the Nine Dragon Immortal Bell are not holy artifacts in the true sense, but this is enough for the Star Emperor. After all, he is invincible in the Eight Desolate Holy Land, which can already help the Star Emperor. As for outside the Eight Desolate Holy Land, doesn’t he have Chen Jingzhai?
Chen Jingzhai's life was peaceful and carefree, refining holy weapons, summarizing skills, organizing supernatural powers, and occasionally leaving various inheritances and even some seeds of civilization in the Holy Land of Bahuang with the women. The journey to the kingdom of the universe was so long that it was despairing.
The Eight Desolations calendar lasted for 150,000 years. This year was the 15th grand court meeting held by the Heavenly Court. Standing in the front of the Heavenly Court hall were all Daluo Immortals, each of them wearing immortal weapons and having a Taoist halo left. The Star Emperor sat on the dragon throne and pardoned and conferred titles on brand new Daluo-level envoys.
Currently, the number of star fields within the Eight Desolations Holy Land has reached four thousand eight hundred, which is already the limit, because there is no more universe to accommodate in the entire universe, and the derivation of the multiverse takes time. So far, there are only ten star fields formed by the evolution of the multiverse, and they are ruled by the first batch of multiverse Taiyi Golden Immortals such as Fairy Chaoyin.
At the fifteenth grand court assembly, the Heavenly Court appointed the 300th Daluo Jinxian-level envoy. New Daluo Jinxians appeared in many forces, including Luotian Immortal Sect, Luofu Sect, Lingyun Immortal Sect, academy, demon clan, Lieyang Immortal Sect, families, etc., and they were in charge of the star field.
In order to prevent these forces from developing and escaping from the control of Heaven, Emperor Xingxiu opened the Demon Battlefield and imposed various restrictions on Heaven's exchange list. Those who wanted to exchange for the goodies on it had to fight in the Demon Battlefield and gain merit before exchanging them.
The merit system is still retained, but merit and achievements are separated. Merits are gained by fighting on the battlefield of demons, and according to the will of heaven, merits will naturally be bestowed by educating immortals and lives, guiding mortal civilization, etc. These merits are no longer in vain, but can drive away the demons and survive the disaster.
It had only been a few tens of thousands of years since the immortals had experienced the killing calamity, and the fear of the calamity was deep in their bones. Knowing that the merits of the Heavenly Dao had such an effect, they all tried to make plans. They began to carefully analyze the requirements of Heaven and implement them personally. Some failed, and some succeeded.
Successful people have more understanding of the merits of the Heavenly Dao, while the failed immortals either blame others or continue to seek advice from other immortals. In this way, there is a group of virtuous immortals in the Eight Desolate Holy Land. Unfortunately, because the merits of the Heavenly Dao are too difficult, the number of these immortals is always limited.
Moreover, compared to the protection of the merits of Heaven, many immortals still pursue various resources to improve themselves. At least the immortal killing calamity is of no use to the Daluo Golden Immortal. This is why the number of Daluo Golden Immortals has increased so much in the past 50,000 to 60,000 years.
Of course, another reason is that Chen Jingzhai consciously took out more innate energy to make it easier for the multiverse to comprehend the laws, thereby causing the number of Daluo Jinxian to skyrocket. Otherwise, Chen Jingzhai would not have been able to refine a holy weapon for the Star Emperor. Without a holy weapon to protect himself, I am really afraid that the Star Emperor would not be able to defeat a group of Daluo Jinxian.
With the protection of the holy weapon, Emperor Xingxiu began to interfere in various star regions and constantly manage the immortal officials. Therefore, even if there were a large number of Daluo Jinxian-level envoys who were appointed, the Heavenly Court did not feel any pressure. The simplest example is the Hongluan Star Region, which was originally the territory of the Luotian Immortal Sect.
But by the time the fifteenth grand court assembly was held, the immortal officials of Heaven had already opened a gap here. At least some official personnel were immortal officials of Heaven, and many situations were also under the control of Heaven. This was true for the Hongluan Star Region, and naturally so for other star regions.
Therefore, at the fifteenth grand court assembly, many people were rewarded. Most of them were immortal officials, a small number were town envoys, and some were immortals who had gained merit. As for those immortals who fought on the battlefield of demons, since they had obtained substantial benefits, there was no need to say more.
As for those who would be punished, there were quite a few at this grand court meeting.
Mainly because of the killing of immortals in the past, some immortals could not get over it and thought it was a conspiracy of heaven, and some immortals wanted to take unconventional ways, either to gather luck or to kill people secretly to refine treasures. Of course, the immortals did not dare to kill. For the immortals with the Skynet in their hands, their death would be recorded.
They attacked mortals. In addition to a large number of immortal-level lives in the Eight Desolate Holy Land, there were also a large number of ordinary lives. These ordinary lives were even numerous, and there were many in each star field. These ordinary lives could not leave the planet in their entire lives, and this became the cultivation material for some immortals.
If it were during the time of the Emperor, no one would dare to do this, because even if the Emperor was in seclusion, the Emperor and Empress would be watching him. But it is different now. Firstly, the Heavenly Dao clone is in hiding, so at least outsiders don't know that he has reappeared. Secondly, the Star Emperor is only a Daluo Golden Immortal after all, so some immortals don't take him into consideration.
Finally, there are too many star fields in the Eight Desolate Holy Land, and the supervision is not in place. This is also the fault of the Daluo Jinxian and Taiyi Jinxian. Unlike the previous universe form, there is no separate Heavenly Dao Net in the star field form, and the influence of the Daluo Jinxian and Taiyi Jinxian-level envoys is very large.
If the immortals cover up for each other, it will take time for the Heavenly Court to investigate. Another reason is that the Star Emperor does not value the Heavenly Army of Justice and intentionally favors the Star God Sect. This directly leads to the fact that after Chu Wuxia, the Heavenly Army of Death led by Su Yurong lost its deterrent power over certain star regions.
All in all, many reasons led to these consequences.
The Star Emperor has gradually realized all of this, and starting from this year's grand court assembly, he has re-added the tasks of the Judicial Heavenly Army. This also gave the Heavenly Court an excuse to regulate the major galaxies and planets in the star field, and also allowed the Star Emperor to take advantage of this opportunity to launch trouble. After all, if too many mortals are killed, the spirit of sin will be born.
The entanglement of the aura of sin and the aura of disaster is the reason for the birth of the Immortal Killing Calamity. There is no need for the Star Emperor to explain too much. After the grand court meeting, all major forces began to investigate themselves, and every immortal who had killed too many people was sent directly to reincarnation. No one wanted to experience the Immortal Killing Calamity again because of this.
Apart from these things, everything else is trivial.
In fact, after all departments of the Heavenly Court are complete, there is no need for the Star Emperor to do anything. Everyone can manage the Heavenly Court by performing their duties. When someone pops up, just take a look at their quality first. If they are just a clown, kill them directly. If they have real skills, digest and absorb them well. There is no need for the Star Emperor to intervene too much.
It is worth mentioning that in the Star Age, although the Star God Sect was in its heyday, it had not actually fully entered the power center of the Heavenly Court. So far, it had only made achievements in the field of Star God and had its own star field, and nothing else.
Despite this, the Star God Sect has gone from being unknown to being able to compete with the Luotian Immortal Sect. It can be regarded as a sharp sword in the hands of the Star Emperor. If the Star God Sect was not useful, I am afraid that the Star Emperor would not be able to grasp the authority of the Heavenly Court in such a short period of time and be able to arrange these immortal officials freely.
In the 157,000th year of the Eight Desolate Calendar, the Qingzhai Immortal Ship is still on the way.
Chen Jingzhai would inject some innate energy into the Qingzhai Immortal Ship every once in a while to enhance its foundation and promote its advancement. During this process, he would also discuss Taoism with the women on weekends to enhance their respective perceptions and control of the laws.
The days passed uneventfully, and one day a huge cosmic demon that looked like a bull suddenly appeared in the universe. The reason why it was determined to be a cosmic demon was that it had clear intelligence and could even speak, but all of its power was a collection of negative forces, just like Ji E before he achieved Daluo.
Chen Jingzhai acted decisively and directly sacrificed the Devouring Gourd. However, he did not expect that this demon from outside the universe was also at the Saint level. At the moment when it was about to be swallowed by the gourd, it exerted its innate magic light and instantly broke free from the devouring power. Chen Jingzhai looked at it with interest and swung his hand to send out the Stele of Destruction.
After the Destruction Stele was promoted to a holy weapon, it was no longer in its chaotic and simple appearance, but looked like a piece of white jade. It left Chen Jingzhai's hand and turned into a giant mountain in the air, directly hitting the Universe Demon. Such a simple and direct attack directly broke the Universe Demon's defense.
The Devouring Gourd took this opportunity to swallow up the Universe Demon, making this Universe Demon that looked like a cow and was as big as a star become the nourishment of the Devouring Gourd. What surprised Chen Jingzhai even more was that the bull horns of this Universe Demon were actually excellent materials for holy weapons.
"This is the Mani Golden Horned Ox," the Daluotian Saint appeared beside Chen Jingzhai and said, "Most of the outer demons in the universe are born from some remnants of the universe after its destruction. Some are born by chance, and some are created by some saints. In the kingdom of the universe, there are saints who like to refine outer demons to protect the way."
"Why do you know so much about the universe?" Chen Jingzhai asked.
"We are not without any background. Several saints were born in the Universe Domain. They established their own cosmic kingdoms within the cosmic kingdoms." The Daluotian Saint obviously wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Chen Jingzhai. "It was said before that at least three saints together to form their own universes into a formation can be considered a cosmic kingdom. To be on the safe side, four saints' universes together are the most standard cosmic kingdom. The cosmic kingdom that originated from the Universe Domain and still exists is called Longxu."
The Longxu Universe Kingdom was founded by four saints from the Universe Domain. Four saint-level universes formed a formation, absorbing the chaotic energy and transforming it into various source energies that were scattered throughout the four universes. The saints were more like the guardians of the universe, completely different from Chen Jingzhai and the Eight Desolate Holy Domain.
"Are you still connected with the Longxu Universe Kingdom?" Chen Jingzhai immediately realized.
"Every once in a while, there is a call," the Daluotian Sage nodded, and then sighed, "The Cosmic Domain is too far away from the Cosmic Kingdom. We have been flying for tens of thousands of years and haven't even covered half the distance. If it were a Daluo Jinxian, it would probably take hundreds of millions of years."
With the blessing of Chen Jingzhai, the Qingzhai Immortal Ship runs at full speed and can even penetrate space for jump-like shuttles. Even so, it still takes more than 100,000 years to reach the kingdom of the universe. Even a Daluotian saint would feel despair at this distance. Even if one's lifespan is endless, no one can stand the loneliness of traveling back and forth.
"Then how do you send the message?" Chen Jingzhai asked curiously.
"A metal called light and sound," said the Daluotian Saint, "the sound of music can be used to refine a sound transmitter. As long as you leave your voice, you can set a target and activate the restrictions on it. It can actively find you. Its flying speed is very fast. Although it is not as fast as that of a saint, it is far faster than Daluo."
Every hundreds of thousands of years, the voice of the Dragon Beard Universe Kingdom would be transmitted through the light and sound communication. Sometimes it was to the Daluotian Saint, and sometimes it was to the Golden Inscription Holy Mother. The three saints could basically receive it every million years. Some common sense content naturally gave the Daluotian Saint an impression of the universe kingdom.
The optical sound transmitter is disposable, and it requires a special individual method to read it. Even if it is captured by other lives, it is impossible to obtain the content. The reason why the Dragon Beard Universe Kingdom visits it so frequently is that it wants the three saints to go there and join the Dragon Beard Universe Kingdom.
Some content about the outer demons in the universe also comes from the Longxu Universe Empire.
