When later generations of the Demon Realm mentioned the natural demon species in the Great Wilderness Period, they often lamented that the demon species had bad luck. When they encountered the world-destroying flood in the Undying Land, they also encountered a heavenly calamity, which led to their demise.
It was not until this moment that Zhu Changyang suddenly realized.
The demon species did not encounter the heavenly calamity that year. The black thunder that Jun Ju's sword blocked was originally meant to fall on Shuo Hui.
However, Shuo Hui ascended to heaven with the power of the people, which angered the Great Dao, and the power of the thunder tribulation increased several times than usual.
Seeing that Jun was on the verge of death, Shuo Hui chose to let him fall into a deep sleep and made a promise to him for ten thousand years.
Zhu Changyang stared at the person in front of him, his throat tightening involuntarily: "Is ten thousand years a long time?"
"No." Jun Shu shook his head. "Ten thousand years passed in a flash. I just took a nap."
Zhu Changyang couldn't help but laugh, but his eyes were hot. He hugged the person in front of him, patted his back, and said with emotion, "You can really sleep well."
"It's obviously you who set the time too long." Jun Shu retorted unconvinced, but still asked with concern, "Where have you been all these years?"
Zhu Changyang couldn't really explain this. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "I think it should be considered out of bounds."
Jun was startled: "Outside the boundary?"
Zhu Changyang: “Yeah.”
The topic outside the boundary is a secret. He looked around and hesitated, "We need to change places..."
There are some charlatans in Jingtian Palace, and Yiye Kingdom is all in Zhiqiuzi's legacy, so it is obviously not suitable to tell secrets.
“Follow me.” Jun Shu held his hand tightly, used the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch, and instantly appeared on the Mirror Lake in the center of heaven.
This is the entrance to heaven.
Jun suddenly concentrated his magic and the surface of the lake shattered like a mirror. The two of them fell into the lake together, and the surrounding scene became illusory.
When I looked again, they had left the Heavenly Kingdom and were standing under the ancient Bodhi tree.
Jun Shu then raised his hand forward, and the Water-Splitting Sword flew out and stabbed straight into another leaf.
Before Zhu Changyang could react, he was picked up again and flew up, following the sword light into the passage opened by the Bishui Sword.
The scene before their eyes turned green, and the two of them fell onto the soft ground together.
The land is vast and flat, with refreshing natural green everywhere you look, and veins like tree roots crisscrossing the ground.
Zhu Changyang: "What is this?"
"We are now in another Bodhi leaf." Jun Shu explained, "which is one of the ten million small worlds."
This Bodhi tree is an ancient sacred tree. Each leaf is rich in spiritual energy and forms a small world of its own.
However, the other leaves have not been refined by Zhi Qiuzi and still appear to be original leaves.
The green leaf flesh became the soft earth, and the winding leaf veins became the criss-crossing veins of the earth.
Zhu Changyang: I see, Thumbelina... Oh no, it’s the Thumbelina brothers and their big leaves.
The two of them sat down side by side on the soft leaves. Looking up, they could see the world outside the leaves, other Bodhi leaves covering their heads, and the blue sky light leaking through the gaps between the leaves.
For a moment it was difficult to tell whether the person had become smaller and entered the leaves, or the leaves had become larger and supported the person.
It's like a dream or an illusion, as if it were true.
Zhu Changyang couldn't help but poke the ground with his fingers, and he actually poked it in, bringing out some soft leaf flesh and green juice.
"Hey, chlorophyll!" Zhu Changyang raised his eyebrows and smeared it on Jun Shu's face.
"How dare you mess with me!" Jun Shu scolded, grabbed his fingers, put them in his mouth and licked them gently, then pulled him into his arms, lowered his head and kissed him, stroking him for a long time before letting him go, with a righteous look on his face, "This is what you deserve."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
Big brother is really good at creating opportunities for himself!
"You..." Zhu Changyang chuckled and shook his head, then he began to narrate his past experiences.
However, he still doesn't know the full truth about the flood.
Zhu Changyang, as a person who truly experienced the tribulation, lost all his cultivation and memories. Most of the illusions he just experienced in the heart mirror were actually constructed based on Jun Shu's memories.
Therefore, the illusion only lasted until Jun Shu fell asleep, and there was no way of knowing what happened after that.
Zhu Changyang didn't know how he went to the "outside world" nor how he came back, but he could describe to Jun Shu the world "outside the world" that he was familiar with and his life in modern times.
Since it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, he basically just said whatever came to his mind, without any brilliant rhetoric. But it was this dry description that captured Jun Shu's entire attention.
It was a world without spiritual power, without spiritual practice, and with an average life expectancy of only a few decades. However, the mortals there constantly discovered, mastered, and utilized the laws of things in their long lives, thus creating many miracles comparable to those of gods.
Skyscrapers, smooth roads to heaven, bright lights that shine throughout the day, machines that can split mountains and seas, and even landing on the moon and diving into the sea to explore the infinite universe.
Every single incident was filled with incredible things.
If Jun Shu had not seen with his own eyes the machines made by Zhu Changyang, he would not have believed that this was an achievement that could be achieved by mortal men.
It’s a pity that he has never been to that world, so it’s difficult for him to imagine what it looks like.
"It sounds like a great place." Jun Shu looked at Zhu Changyang with a little more tenderness in his eyes, "You must like it there very much."
Ten thousand years ago, Shuo Hui had been lingering in the mortal world for many years, indulging in all kinds of strange creations and being passionate about all things in the world.
It is somewhat comforting to know that this is the world he went to after the disaster.
"I like it very much." Zhu Changyang's eyes curved, "It's very interesting there..."
Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Ah," and clapped his hands, "By the way, do you want to take a look?"
Jun Shu was confused: "What are you looking at?"
Zhu Changyang smiled: "That world's idiot."
Jun Shu:
Zhu Changyang told him about the live broadcast system. Thanks to the fact that Jun Shu had seen a camera and a recorder, had a general understanding of the concept of "audio and video", and had used a jade tablet similar to a mobile phone, it was not too difficult to explain it to him.
However, describing it with words alone is still too abstract.
Jun Shu was very confused: "So the 'sand sculpture' you mentioned is actually someone from there?"
This is really hard to explain!
He simply took Jun Shu's hand, closed his eyes and concentrated his energy, and opened the workshop with his spiritual sense. This was the first time he brought someone in here, and he was not very skilled at it.
Fortunately, Jun Shu was extremely perceptive in martial arts and quickly noticed the fluctuations of the barrier. He immediately focused his attention and followed Zhu Changyang's breath. Immediately, an illusion appeared in front of his eyes and he entered a completely new space.
Zhu Changyang was relieved to see him enter smoothly, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Welcome to my workshop."
"Workshop?" Jun Shu seemed to have realized something, looked around, and finally confirmed it. He smiled and said, "Isn't this your world?"
Zhu Changyang: “Ah?”
There are many space spells in the world of cultivation, such as Sumeru mustard seed, Bodhi leaf and even the secret realm left behind by the death of a great man.
The "realm" is the top existence among them, and some can even be close to a "world".
But there are very few people who can possess "realm".
In the Piaomiao Continent, if one is not from a school that is good at spells such as space barriers, one may not be able to open his own "boundary" even if he has reached the Mahayana stage.
However, Shuo Hui, as a heavy hoarder who couldn't bear to throw away even a piece of wood, started studying various storage equipment very early. After returning to Yongze City to settle down, he successfully opened a small "world".
This workshop is what is left of Shuo Hui's "world".
“I thought…” Zhu Changyang suddenly understood. No wonder the workshop traveled with him through time. It turned out that this was the space of the cultivation world.
Unfortunately, after being ravaged by floods and thunder, most of this "world" has disappeared, leaving only the workshop and various data and equipment brought from modern society.
Zhu Changyang took Jun Shu around the workshop and introduced its functions to him one by one.
After more than two years of upgrading and development, the workshop now has basically all kinds of assembly lines, and the warehouse is full and orderly displayed.
This was the first time Jun Shu saw a truly modern factory building. He was dazzled for a moment. While he was happy for Zhu Changyang, he was also a little unhappy: "Why did that carbon head get here before me?"
Zhu Changyang: “…”
When Brother Jun starts to care about things, even his own daughter becomes “that piece of charcoal”.
"No, it usually stays in the mustard bag I bought." Zhu Changyang held his forehead and said, the workshop is such a special place, he has always kept it highly confidential. The developer and those commonly used utensils are placed in a mustard bag purchased separately.
"That's more like it." Jun Shu was a little satisfied, "Then I won't beat up the robot guy when I go back."
Zhu Changyang was puzzled: "What's the matter, Shutdown Man?"
Jun Shu sneered: "Doesn't Ji Lao say every day that Tan Tou's life is as important as his life? If that's the case, if I beat him up, it will be the same as beating Tan Tou up. It's the best of both worlds."
Zhu Changyang: “Cough cough cough!”
When the robot guy was flattering the senior sister, he certainly didn't expect that there would be such a consequence!
He wiped his face, silently took Jun Shu to the operating table, called up a panel and opened it, officially showing him the backstage of the live broadcast room.
Now you cannot watch the host’s screen in the background, you can only see the small split-frequency window and barrage, but it is enough.
Zhu Changyang turned on the live broadcast. Since they were in the workshop, the main channel was blocked and the camera automatically switched to the sub-channel belonging to [Xuan Wei].
The developer's real-time image appears on the screen.
Jun Shu: “Ah!”
Although I have heard the introduction of "live broadcast", it is still very rare to actually see the carbon-headed cat that I was just cursing appear in a small square.
In the camera, the black cat was scratching Zuo Zhe's head and punching him with its meowing fists: "Meow meow~"
Zuo Zhe scratched the cat while begging for mercy: "Aunt, please be gentle, I really don't know where your fathers have gone."
Zhu Changyang's mouth twitched a few times: "This charcoal head is bullying me again!"
"Don't say that about it." Jun Shu disagreed, "It didn't even hit hard."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
You are so kind at this time!
Just when he was about to correct the demon species' views on education, Jun Shu's attention was attracted by new things.
"What is this?" Jun Shu pointed at the lines of words that suddenly appeared on the screen. Those words looked strange and were somewhat similar to the words they used, but most of them were missing limbs.
"This is the barrage," Zhu Changyang explained, "It uses the simplified Chinese characters from that world."
At this time, the barrage was excited and crazy:
[Ahhh, it’s finally back on air!!]
[Zhu Changyang, you stopped broadcasting for a whole day and night! Not one hour, not two hours, but a full twenty-four hours. Do you know how I spent those twenty-four hours? ]
[Wait, everyone calm down, look carefully, this is the developer's channel! The surname Zhu still hasn't appeared! ]
[What the hell is he doing? Is he having sex with Jun Shu so much that he doesn’t know what the world is and even forgets the time!]
[Of course. Ever since he hooked up with Brother Mozhong, he's been doing this every now and then. I've become numb to it.]
[Haha, if you have the ability to practice dual cultivation, you should show it to everyone! ]
[If he really releases some dual cultivation scenes, I will accept being banned for ten days or half a month! ]
Zhu Changyang: “…”
These sand sculptures are indeed yellow.
Jun Shu pointed at a word in the barrage and asked, "What is this word?"
Zhu Changyang was speechless and didn't think much about it, so he responded casually: "The simplified Chinese character for 'shuang'."
"Sure enough." Jun Shu clapped his hands and looked over with bright eyes, "Are they asking us to practice dual cultivation?"
Zhu Changyang:
With so many simplified Chinese characters, can you accurately identify the word "double cultivation"? !
The author has something to say:
As we all know, sand sculptures are yellow.
Jun: True geniuses are good at grasping the key points!
