Chapter 562 Rashomon
"Have you heard that someone in the inner world has finally awakened spiritually?"
"Well, who is such a genius?"
"How do I know this? None of the big forces have found it."
"Then you are spreading rumors and wasting my time to make a fortune!"
"Tch, just you, you still want to make a fortune in the Dark Isthmus? If you do, you will be caught in the laboratory!"
The emergence of naturally spiritually awakened people is, after all, a new thing.
Even though the outside world is very lively now, there is still a splash of water.
…
But it was only a little bit, and it soon calmed down.
After all, this kind of thing that cannot make you rich is still based on rumors without real evidence.
If everyone can say "Oh" when they find out, it will be a great honor.
The hottest thing in the world right now is going to the Dark Isthmus to pan for gold.
Oh, no, it’s to dig for spiritual stones.
…
Although there is also no picture and no truth, the whole world is now spreading rumors that the dark isthmus is full of spiritual stones.
As for the concentration of psychic energy, it is extremely high.
Just picking up some grass from there is enough for an ordinary extraordinary person to struggle for a lifetime.
…
If it were just like this, there wouldn't be many fools who could survive in this world, and everyone would just think that someone was trying to deceive cannon fodder.
But this time it was different. The major forces took the lead and rushed towards the dark isthmus with a head start.
It is absolutely impossible for those tigers and wolves who only eat meat to be so anxious. There is absolutely no way that the dark isthmus is full of dog poop.
Ordinary extraordinary beings will naturally rush in too!
…
In this way, countless extraordinary people rushed towards the dark isthmus with dreams of getting rich.
The most radical among them is undoubtedly the alliance of casual cultivators who are completely striving and risking all their wealth.
I don’t know what they were thinking, but they came out in full force and moved their families directly into the dark isthmus.
Without the "incomparable determination" of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, those hesitant and still wanting to negotiate in the Warren Kingdom would not be able to open the blocked door of the Dark Isthmus.
…
"The world is changing so fast!"
"It has only been three or four days, and the situation in the Dark Isthmus has changed drastically!"
"But I have to say that the current dark isthmus is indeed very suitable for the casual cultivator alliance."
"Those casual cultivators can't get tickets. If they can't break through the Weaver realm, they will have to suffer in the inner world for the rest of their lives, and they won't even be able to breathe a breath of fresh air in the outer world."
“It’s impossible if we don’t work hard!”
Chen Qi, who left Chouyun City, allowed the spacecraft to continue flying while taking a look at the big melon in the "Dark Isthmus".
good, very good.
Now everyone thinks that this incident was done by the disaster star. Everyone is busy making money, so no one is "meddlesome".
…
But what Chen Qi didn't expect was that he thought the blockade would be opened only after the Dark Isthmus aroused public outrage.
After all, the blockade of the Dark Isthmus was originally intended by internal forces to buy themselves more "search" time.
Of course they won't give up unless they have to.
…
This was indeed the case at the beginning. Even though the Warren Kingdom took the lead, Dark Isthmus still blocked it.
But just when the two sides were arguing with each other and confronting each other.
The alliance of casual cultivators, who were quite far away from the dark isthmus, swarmed forward and directly tore apart the blockade with violent means.
It was rumored that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance alone had hundreds of silver combatants in that battle.
You can imagine how caught off guard the Dark Isthmus was.
This is no longer about grabbing spiritual stones, it is definitely about grabbing territory.
…
"After these guys from the Loose Cultivator Alliance switched to practicing ancient methods, their spiritual roots continued to shrink."
"The top ten super spell academies have been relying on suppressing them to obtain training resources and suppress their training progress."
"This time the Dark Isthmus barrier is broken, it is definitely their last chance!"
"As expected, all the thunder in the inner world exploded."
Looking at the dark isthmus that had begun to crack the dog's brain, Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh that the "disaster star" really lived up to its reputation.
It’s true that any hidden danger can be ignited for you.
…
Regarding the battle situation in the dark isthmus, Chen Qi's evaluation was that they were evenly matched.
The local forces have home field advantage, but the casual cultivator alliance has more experts.
After all, the backer behind these guys is [Zeami] among the ten ancient people.
Thinking of that person, Chen Qi couldn't help but think of those clay dolls he threw into the sea.
He should have returned to the human world again!
…
The war between the Dark Isthmus and the Loose Cultivator Alliance should not last too long.
With the influx of other "Taobao" forces, both parties will surely cease their activities.
Otherwise, if both sides suffer losses, others will laugh them off.
…
"Perhaps I will have to join in the fun in this murky waters of the Dark Isthmus!"
"But certainly not now!"
After learning the "truth" from Gamil, Chen Qi fell into a dilemma again.
…
Special genes are tainted with the earth mother's curse.
If Chen Qi really found it and put it back on himself, he might not think that he died too slowly.
But if he gives up the "special gene", Chen Qi will have to find a way to solve the elemental decay of life on his own.
…
Chen Qi is not clueless now, but he still lacks a lot of things.
For example, more knowledge of life alchemy is an indispensable part.
As for how to find more knowledge of life alchemy, Chen Qi's previous hook was put to good use.
But this may not be enough. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Chen Qi set his sights on the Life School Laboratory in the Dark Isthmus.
…
The eight-star dragon ball that the Warren Kingdom took away at the beginning contained a human embryo.
This could not help but make Chen Qi have many associations.
Chen Qi's divine sense told him that the most important part of solving his own troubles was in that laboratory.
…
But the periphery of the Dark Isthmus is now in a mess, and the deep earth has completely turned into a life restricted area because of the explosion of the spiritual vein.
According to Chen Qi's calculations, it will take at least a year or two for the spiritual energy disorder to calm down a little.
Even he may not be able to go deep into the earth and find the ruins.
So even if Chen Qi is "urgent" now, he has to follow the plan step by step.
…
And what Chen Qi wants now is not just to stop the decay of the life elements in his body.
Chen Qi also wants to take this opportunity to complete his own life completion.
Even if I can't become a perfect life, I have to at least make up for the life elements I lost.
Otherwise, it would be in vain.
…
"We can't give up the special gene!"
"It involves many of my own secrets. If I can find a way to eliminate the hidden dangers, it's better to install it back."
"Even if I can't use it, I must find it and destroy it."
"Otherwise, it will sooner or later become my biggest flaw!"
Chen Qi casually gave an order to No. 1. He had already obtained the relevant information about the gene thief from Gamil.
…
As for why it is so troublesome, we use manual methods to investigate.
Of course, it is because this is the most efficient and safest.
After being "blackmailed" by the Heavenly Secret Spider Mother once, Chen Qi naturally did not dare to use the Heavenly Secret Divination again.
Especially when it involves his own secrets.
Otherwise, he would be troubled by the Heavenly Secret Spider Mother again.
…
"The Mother Spider of Heavenly Secrets cannot, or dare not, monitor me!"
"If it is so rampant, it would have died long ago!"
"But once I use Heavenly Secrets for divination, it can trip up my divination results!"
"Since the Mother Spider of Heavenly Secrets cannot monitor me, how can it play tricks when I am divination?"
"There is only one answer, that is, there is something fishy about the Heavenly Secrets fragment!"
In Chen Qi's mind, the light of wisdom bloomed.
All the fog was torn apart by him in an instant.
…
Chen Qi remembered very clearly that when he first saw the Heavenly Secrets fragment, its body was a bronze fragment, but it manifested the form of a giant human-faced spider.
Chen Qi was still puzzled at the time, but now he has completely figured it out.
…
Before [Heavenly Secrets] was broken, all Heavenly Secrets masters needed to please [Heavenly Secrets] in order to obtain more accurate divination results.
It can be said that Heavenly Secrets at that time was a giant monopoly enterprise.
It can exploit and play with users at will.
…
After the Heavenly Secret was shattered, seven mysterious creatures including the Heavenly Secret Spider Mother were born.
If they didn't want to restore the glory of their ancestors, and show off their power like [Heavenly Secret] and bully the Heavenly Secret Master, that would be absolutely impossible.
If they were so honest, three more people would not have been killed by the Sword of Judgment.
With the existence of the Sword of Judgment, it would definitely be impossible for the Heavenly Secret Spider Mothers to collect protection fees.
So they found another way and turned to collecting tolls.
…
These guys should have selected a batch of Heavenly Secret fragments and left their own marks.
After these Heavenly Secret fragments fell into the hands of the Heavenly Secret Master, once the Heavenly Secret Master performed divination, the Heavenly Secret Spider Mother would be alarmed.
Then they could intervene at the right time and extort.
…
In order to ensure that they were not tracked by the Sword of Judgment, the means they imposed on the Heavenly Secret fragments must be extremely simple.
For example, when the Heavenly Secret Master performed divination, the Heavenly Secret fragments would release a special wave, and this wave could only be captured by the Heavenly Secret Spider Mother.
After figuring this out, Chen Qi unceremoniously used his mind power to refine the fragments of the Heavenly Secret several times again.
The result was not ideal. The gap between his strength and that of the Heavenly Secret Spider Mother was too big, and he could not erase it at all.
This is a bit too much!
…
Sure enough, whether it is the inheritance of the Earth Master or the Heavenly Secret Master, there are reasons for the abolition.
It's just that the inheritance of the Heavenly Secret Master has completely fallen into the hands of humans, so it is allowed to circulate.
Chen Qi believes that the Sword of Judgment must know about the Heavenly Secret Spider Mother's methods.
But since there is no intervention, it is obviously playing the long game and waiting for the other party to reveal a flaw.
I really hope that the Heavenly Secret Spider Mother can be killed earlier.
…
But now, Chen Qi, who has offended the "Heavenly Secret Spider Mother", can only bear it temporarily.
Fortunately, this does not have much impact. The transaction of special genes is different from ordinary things.
This thing may be extremely secretive, but because of this, it can definitely be found out.
And the more the Heavenly Secret Technique is used, the more burden it will bear.
Chen Qi would not be so stupid as to rely on others for everything and end up with the same fate as Wang Jidao.
…
After arranging everything, Chen Qi headed towards a newly activated hidden chess piece.
Although the sensing range of the ancestor virus is now extremely wide, in order to receive clearer information, it still needs to be closer.
What's more, Chen Qi still has to close the net, and of course he has to be there in person.
…
Wanku City is an insignificant small city located in the Gobi Desert.
It seems to be only a dozen square kilometers and has a population of only tens of thousands.
If it weren't for the advanced technology of today's era, small towns like these would have been completely submerged in a sandstorm.
…
But the Wanku City on the ground is just a cover.
The underground city of Ten Thousand Caves is the source of the existence of life around it.
This is the old nest where the Life Alchemy School has been operating for thousands of years.
In the beginning, there was no grass growing for tens of thousands of miles around.
After entering the new era, in order to make it less eye-catching, there was a small town above.
…
"Tuoba Hong, hurry up, don't wait!"
"You must deal with these mummies that have just arrived tonight!"
"Otherwise, all your merit points this month will be deducted!"
"You know exactly what will happen to those who make no contribution to the organization!"
"I really thought I was still the special researcher I was before!"
"I stabbed you in such a big trap last time and didn't cut you into pieces. It was because your brain was useful."
Ten Thousand Cave City, in a certain underground cave.
A guy who looks like a villain, constantly showing off his little authority.
…
Although he is just a small delivery captain, his status is much higher than someone like Tuoba Hong who made mistakes.
They [Rashomon] value fairness and merit the most.
Tuoba Hong made a big mistake and directly wiped out his past achievements.
…
Rashomon Gate is said to be a trap for all living beings.
The original meaning is that the world's talents gather together and everyone steps into the wonderful door together.
Now, snare all kinds of life forms and use the lives of all living beings to build a wonderful door.
In the final analysis, the previous grand ideals failed and began to degenerate.
…
The desert where Rashomon is located is the famous Black Death Desert in the Inner Ring World.
Well, the name isn't too loud.
In the ancient Xiu era, this area had a more famous name, the Dark Forbidden Zone.
Long before the New Calendar Era, this place was shrouded in black fog all day long.
It was not until the establishment of the World Government that the light of justice shone here, completely dispelling the dark fog.
Then a black desert where everything was dead appeared in front of the world.
…
After the Black Death Desert emerged, a large number of life alchemists came to conduct research out of curiosity.
Over a long period of time, more and more life alchemists gathered here.
Everyone continued to communicate and discuss, and eventually formed small groups.
This is the origin of Rashomon.
…
Everything in the Black Death Desert is dead, and its biggest specialty is all kinds of mummies.
But it is not easy to "find" mummies from the Black Death Desert.
The desert contains terrifying psychic radiation, which not only ordinary people cannot handle, but ordinary extraordinary beings as well.
Therefore, if you want to enter the Black Death Desert, you must wear heavy protective equipment.
This greatly limits the range of movement of the extraordinary beings.
…
What's more, the desert is full of sand dunes. If you dig randomly, you may not be able to dig one out in 10,000 years.
It's really because the Black Death Desert is too huge.
Even though its area has shrunk somewhat in the past two thousand years, it still covers tens of millions of square kilometers.
…
If you want to find mummies in the vast desert, you must master the [Sky Star Kanyu Art].
Although it is incredible, according to the research of the life alchemists, the Black Death Desert should have been the territory of an extremely prosperous life race a long time ago.
But one day, a horrific natural disaster struck, and black fog completely enveloped the area, creating such a land where all life was extinct.
…
The extraordinary race that originally lived here had a very distinctive distribution of settlements.
They did not live along ancient rivers, but chose their settlements based on the position of the stars in the sky.
Even in this day and age, the stars are no longer real.
But even if a blind cat catches a mouse, the probability is much better than finding a needle in a haystack.
…
Anyway, Rashomon can always find some mummies by relying on the occasional accurate star divination.
Well, mainly because too many lives have died here.
It is estimated that when the natural disaster strikes, all the lives of the entire extraordinary race will die here.
This number is at least several billion. After determining the general location, it is normal to dig up some mummies.
What's more, the mummies of ordinary life are equally valuable, after all, they have suffered from at least 20,000 years of psychic radiation.
…
"Okay Captain, I will take care of the body!"
In the corpse cave, Tuoba Hong kept his head lowered.
He carefully opened the giant iron cabinet, endured the psychic radiation released by the mummies, and carefully helped them clean all kinds of impurities and attachments on their bodies.
These mummies will later be used in alchemical experiments, of course the cleaner the better.
…
"Hmph, do it well!"
Tuoba Hong's resignation made the team leader feel particularly unfulfilled.
As long as Tuoba Hong has a stronger bone, he can find an excuse to send him to "hunt for corpses".
The Black Death Desert, as a restricted area of life, has never been a good and safe place.
Although you have to endure radiation when cleaning up corpses, it is paradise compared to searching for corpses in the Black Death Desert.
…
Of course, the team leader's targeting of Tuoba Hong was not without reason.
Who made this guy offend someone!
In that research accident, Tuoba Hong could clearly bear all the responsibilities by himself.
But he insisted on dragging all his colleagues down.
…
Why, you are the only one who can tell the truth, and you are the only one who is honest and upright?
If you just take the blame, it will be the end of the world. You will have to make fools of yourself.
Okay now, you still have to bear the blame.
Originally, for the sake of the friendship between colleagues, everyone could share some merit points and give Tuoba Hong a job of sweeping the floor.
Now he was kicked out of the laboratory directly.
…
"Be patient, you must be patient!"
"Hurry, the big shot is coming soon!"
"With that big man's jealous behavior, this devil's cave will definitely be destroyed!"
"You will all be dead by then, except me. Let's see who can have the last laugh!"
Tuoba Hong, who lowered his head to clean up the corpse, kept cursing in his heart.
…
Only in this way can he survive in this dark environment.
Everyone only knew that he took the blame for the accident, but no one knew that it was precisely because of that accident that he was "a blessing in disguise" and got a great opportunity.
Originally, Tuobahong wanted to share his findings with his colleagues, but he directly experienced a wave of workplace bullying.
…
It was obviously an experimental plan designed together, but I was the one to operate it myself. Why should I bear all the responsibility for the failure?
Is it because I'm not bad enough?
Tuoba Hong is not convinced!
