Chapter 478: The road to immortality is cut off (please subscribe)

Views:

At first, many people in the barbarian village were skeptical about what the little brat said.

Even the well-informed village chief, who had traveled extensively in his youth, had never seen the emblem of a golden double-headed eagle.

They even doubted whether such a person who appeared mysteriously and saved the little kid really existed.

Until one day, an envoy from the great human city of Pingyan City appeared with a golden double-headed eagle flag, and the mystery was finally solved.

From the envoy from Pingyan City, the people in the barbarian village learned that the mysterious man who saved the little kid was an envoy from the empire.

A captain of the Raven Guard Chapter, a military department of the Empire.

The other party's deeds were not just about saving the little kid, but also about turning the tide and saving the human race from danger.

When the guardian of Pingyan City, Grandma Yu, was ambushed and killed, and many powerful alien races wanted to enslave the human race, it was this mysterious man who took action and killed the Four Saints in an instant.

With just a wave of his hand, he destroyed the foreign coalition.

Save humanity from the crisis of slavery and extinction.

More importantly, he also used mysterious weapons to cause infighting among those powerful tribes, eliminated many alien tribes in one fell swoop, and established his position as the overlord of mankind.

"Why can the houses be built so high?" The village chief of Man Village, Man Yun, craned his neck and looked at the huge stone buildings towering into the sky, with only amazement and awe in his heart.

The power of that mysterious empire is truly breathtaking.

Such a magnificent building was completed in a short time.

Everyone in the barbarian village opened their eyes wide.

The speed is too fast.

You know, it takes them several months to polish the stones to build a small stone house.

It seemed even simpler for the Empire to build such a magnificent building than for them to build a small stone house.

Those weird looking guys with steel embedded in their bodies are really awesome.

Man Yun even doubted whether there was any problem in this world that could stump these guys.

They seem to possess a mysterious power that can turn decay into magic and create incredible miracles.

As everyone in the barbarian village was marveling at the sight of astonishment, a ray of light appeared in the sky and then quickly expanded.

The monks from Pingyan City appeared in front of them riding flying swords.

After lowering his altitude, he put away his flying sword and landed directly next to Man Yun.

He took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Man Yun.

The double-headed eagle emblem of the Holy Empire was printed above the document.

This emblem represents that this document was written by the imperial bureaucracy on behalf of the Holy Emperor.

Below the emblem are densely packed, fly-sized words.

"These are the house numbers assigned to everyone in your barbarian village. You have three days to get familiar with life here, and then you will serve the Holy Emperor." The monk said calmly.

There was a palm-sized double-headed eagle emblem tattooed on his Taoist robe.

Imperial personnel have already moved into Pingyan City, and most of the monks have been assigned to the imperial organization and are required to serve the Holy Emperor.

Anyway, as long as one is a human being, he or she must swear to serve the Holy Emperor.

Man Yun took the document and his eyes widened.

His eyes rolled around, staring at the words above.

His expression was as if he had encountered some terrifying beast.

After a moment, he finally managed to utter a word.

"We don't understand the characters, how can we read it?"

In this world, humans also have their own writing.

But the problem is that even in the world of cultivating immortals, there are only a few people who can read.

Mancun is just a remote village.

Naturally, no one could read.

I do know some runes, spells and the like.

Because these things are life-saving.

It concerns the life and death of a village.

But in the eyes of Mancun and others, recognizing words is useless.

To learn to read?

Pure waste of time.

It would be better for them to seize the time and exercise more. If they encounter any emergency, they will be able to escape in time and at least they will not be blocked by the enemy.

I am in a dilemma with no way to go up to heaven and no door to enter the earth.

Hearing Man Yun's words, the cultivator shook his head.

He just pointed with his finger, performing the legendary enlightenment, and passed the basic words and their meanings to Man Yun.

So that he can find the residential area of his village.

It can be seen that the monk is very familiar with doing this kind of thing and has obviously experienced many similar situations.

The work of literacy is a long and arduous task!

Now he only has the most basic literacy, which is still illiterate according to the standards of the empire.

Only when we have a certain basic understanding of the basic structure of the universe, the connection between the real universe and subspace, and advanced disciplines such as the theory of cosmic evolution, can we be considered to have truly entered a civilized society.

If we want to complete such literacy campaign, it may take at least two or three generations for the barbarian village to accomplish this.

The monks don't care about that.

After all, by the standards of the empire, he was considered illiterate.

If you don’t even know the basic structure of the universe, aren’t you just a member of a primitive tribe

After doing all this, the monk took off into the air, turned into a beam of light, and went to deliver documents to the next village.

The old village chief Man Yun watched the monk leave, then looked down at the document and could barely understand it.

At least I can recognize the districts and numbers.

After Man Yun took a look, he decided to take the people in his village to the residential area arranged for them by the empire.

... ... ... ..

The men in the barbarian village are all extremely strong and have muscular bodies.

His whole body was covered with bronze muscles, which looked like swimming snakes.

If you don't have some skills when hunting in the wilderness and dense forests, you would have become a meal for those wild beasts long ago.

The people of the barbarian village have lived there for many years and have long been accustomed to coexisting with danger.

But if you ask them whether they are willing to live in such a dangerous environment

Most people in the village would shake their heads.

Because it's too dangerous.

If anything goes wrong, they will be killed.

If food is not replenished, it is not uncommon for people to starve to death.

The vegetation around the barbarian village is very lush.

There are many fierce beasts.

Logically speaking, there should be no shortage of food.

But the life of the people in the barbarian village is very hard.

Most of the time it was just some wheat cakes, wild fruits, and a little meat.

The wild beasts in the mountains are extremely dangerous, and they are born with all kinds of fierce and powerful magic.

Every time someone goes into the mountains to hunt, someone may lose his life.

If given a choice, no one would choose to go into the mountains to hunt.

Because that would mean bloodshed and sacrifice.

Food is very precious to a primitive tribe and no waste is allowed.

The promises made by the empire can be said to be very tempting.

Sufficient food, a safe environment to grow up in, and the only thing required is the loyalty of the Holy Emperor.

In addition, the ruler of the huge human city of Pingyan City came forward to guarantee it.

All the tribes chose to trust this mysterious force that used the double-headed eagle as its emblem.

They set out from their original gathering places and migrated to designated cities, ready to serve the Holy Emperor.

Many villages and tribes do not know who the Holy Emperor is.

I don’t know where Terra is

I don't understand the relationship between the Terran Senate and the military expedition, and I don't understand the intricacies of the Imperial departments.

Their loyalty is not pure.

Just for a better living environment.

But it is illogical to demand too much from them in this regard.

No one would sacrifice their life for a ruler they have never seen before unless they are offered attractive benefits.

The empire must do well enough.

Only in this way can these primitive people feel a sense of belonging to it.

Only then will they understand that loyalty itself is the greatest reward.

Understand that your life is the currency that the Holy Emperor uses to exchange for the future of humanity.

By that time, they will be resigned to such a fate.

After checking the documents, they were able to enter the giant city under the watchful eyes of the Mechanical Priests and the Imperial Guards.

The huge city that was built was magnificent and vast, and different areas such as residential areas, factory areas, commercial areas, and trade areas were divided into different areas by wise men who were good at calculation.

It is definitely the most efficient distribution in theory.

Located in the middle is the space-time channel device that has just been built.

This device will open the channel between the two worlds and kick off the grand war between the Empire and the Immortal World.

The viaduct in the giant city is wider than the area of the barbarian village.

Standing on this side of the road, you can't even see the other side of the road.

Walking on such a road will make people doubt themselves.

I wondered if I had strayed into the land of giants.

"Are they going to build a road for the wild beasts? Such a big road?" Manhu exclaimed: "Oh my god, it's more than enough for hundreds of fire bulls to run side by side."

People from other barbarian villages were also amazed.

This huge city is so magnificent that they feel as small as ants when walking in it.

How many people will the empire accommodate here!

I heard that the people who live in this huge city are here to serve in the expedition.

After some trouble, Man Yun and his people found the residential area assigned to them.

All living rooms are built according to imperial colonial standards and are equipped with complete living facilities.

For Man Yun, Man Hu and others who have lived in primitive times for a long time, it was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and they found everything strange.

Man Yun assigned rooms to his clansmen according to the numbers on the documents.

The first one is the wild tiger.

The room was spacious. He had a wife and children, and was allocated a family residence which was just enough to meet the needs of him, his wife, and his children.

"This is so beautiful." Manhu touched the shiny marble wall, and stars were almost coming out of his eyes. The house he polished in Man Village was not as beautiful as this one.

All the doors were open.

They walked straight in.

As soon as I walked in, I heard a sound coming from the room.

The dancing light outlined the shape of an elf in the room.

Hello, I am your home manager. I will give you a simple introduction to science and teach you how to use these technological creations so that you can use them better.

"Chief, come quickly, there is a little man here, this guy can't be a ghost!

The tiger shouted loudly.

This forced Man Yun, who was distributing the tasks, to stop his work.

Many tribesmen also came over.

Looking at the people floating in the air, they all showed shocked expressions.

"Could this be the legendary spirit? This guy must have a very high level of cultivation, otherwise how could he appear without even a physical body?"

"It must be the power of the empire."

"Hurry and meet the Almighty."

"What the hell, this is a powerful person in the empire. He can even leave his body. He is at least half a step away from becoming an immortal." Man Yun's voice was trembling.

What does a half-step immortal mean to the barbarian village

A village that has one or two cave-dwelling realm practitioners who have mastered the art of magic will already be the most powerful village within a radius of dozens of miles.

A half-step immortal is an existence that one dares not even think about.

After hearing the words of the village chief, everyone knelt down, hoping that their disrespect had not provoked the powerful of the empire.

I am just a home assistance system, number 9527. My purpose is to help people in backward worlds better integrate into the empire. I am not a practitioner.

The system made a sound, trying to explain that it was not as powerful as the people in the barbarian village believed.

But who in Man Village has ever seen this scene

The shadow of a person was floating in the air. If he was not a ghost, then he was a powerful being who could leave his body.

"A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins." A mocking voice came from behind.

The villagers, who had just regarded the home system as powerful no matter how it explained, turned their heads with grim expressions when they heard the voice.

They discovered that the one who made the mockery was their old enemy, Ishimura.

Shi Village is a village near Man Village.

There is no blood feud between the two sides, but there are many conflicts.

Everyone dislikes each other.

Each village has its own hunting range.

The hunting ranges of the tribes of Man Village and Shi Village were divided very closely.

People from the two villages often quarreled and even fought over prey.

If Pingyan City had not established a rule that human villages were not allowed to fight to the death in secret, they would have become mortal enemies long ago.

Even though they have moved here now, the people of Shi Village still laugh at Man Village.

"What did you say?" Manhu was an impatient man and stood up and shouted angrily.

"You are ignorant." A strong man from Shi Village walked out of the crowd. He was very strong, with muscles all over his body. He naturally exuded an imposing aura when he stood there. When he spoke, his voice was very loud: "You are kneeling to a home system, thinking you are some great power. It's really ridiculous. In my opinion, you guys should just stay in the mountains. The Holy Emperor is too kind to let useless trash like you in here."

When the people in the barbarian village heard this, they almost exploded with anger.

If you had come from a better family in Shi Village, this matter would have just passed.

It’s obvious that we all came from the same shit hole!

You just came a few days early, and you’re showing off like that!

"Are you of much use?" Manhu said angrily, clenching his fists, as if he was ready to fight if there was any disagreement.

The man from Shi Village took out a document and placed it in front of Manhu.

"Do you know what this is, country bumpkin? This is a conscription order stamped by the Imperial Army. The conscription officer said that all the men in Shi Village are good, strong and powerful, and are the best soldiers. If there are more of them, they can all form an independent regiment and serve the Holy Emperor."

"You guys in Man Village are probably destined to be hard laborers. Are you as brave as us in Shi Village? Are you as fearless as us in Shi Village? When the time comes, all the men in Shi Village will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Everyone will know that the men in Shi Village are powerful and unstoppable."

"Bullshit." Manhu was furious and shouted loudly: "The people of Man Village are a hundred times braver than you in Shi Village, and they are more fearless than you. Just wait and see, the Empire will also recruit us. When the time comes, I will let you know how powerful Man Village is. People like you are not worthy to compete with us."

The people from Shi Village gave a sarcastic smile, put away the conscription document, and turned away.

Man Hu and others found it difficult to remain calm.

Being mocked and looked down upon by their long-time enemy made them feel very uncomfortable.

"We must also send our best people to join the army." Man Yun, the village chief, said, "This is for the honor of the village. We must not let those damn guys look down on us."

"I'll go." A childish voice sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was the little brat.

He raised his chubby little hands and spoke in a baby voice.

"You are still too young, don't make trouble." Man Yun asked a few women to take the kid away, and then discussed with Man Hu and others about who to send.

To survive in the wild world, every village is very tough and will not admit that they are weaker than others.

A village must be tough enough to let others know that you are not easy to mess with and will not come to steal your prey.

Survival in the wild world is very cruel.

Strength is everything.

If you are weaker than others, they can take away your food and women.

Even if the empire is not so barbaric, the people in the barbarian villages have been struggling in the wild world for a long time. They do not understand the profound knowledge, but they do understand the principles that are applicable everywhere.

You have the greatest value, so when things are distributed, you will be the first one to come.

How could the people of Man Village admit that they were worse than Shi Village

If the other side has ten people joining the army, the Barbarian Village will send fifteen to tell the Empire.

Their value is greater than that of other villages.

... ... ... .

... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

Daluo Immortal Palace.

Looking out from the main peak, there is an endless tide of green covering the entire sky and earth.

The disciples of Daluo Immortal Palace suffered heavy casualties, and the survivors retreated to the magic circle on the main peak.

Many disciples who failed to retreat in time were killed, and some even had their heads cut off and hung on flagpoles. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel.

Many disciples were extremely angry when they saw their former friends being humiliated in this way after their death.

But they couldn't do anything.

The green tide was too strong, and the strange protection made their many magic skills useless.

Coupled with the polluted spiritual energy, they were forced to engage in close combat.

As soon as the war started, Daluo Immortal Palace was at a disadvantage.

They were forced to use their own weaknesses to counter the enemy's strengths.

Seeing this desperate situation, several masters holding magical weapons knew that they had no way out this time.

They had spent too much energy in sending those geniuses away.

This is also the reason why they have not taken any action before.

Excessive use of magical weapons can easily drain them.

You must recover a certain amount of strength before you can use it again.

But the enemy obviously did not give them this opportunity.

The Daluo Immortal Palace was easily conquered by the enemy.

Even though all the trump cards guarding the sect were played, they were unable to stop the enemy for long.

Now is the most critical moment.

"At this point, there is no other way. Only by seeking help from the immortals can we resolve our crisis."

The headmaster of Daluo Immortal Palace felt sad when he saw his disciples suffering heavy casualties.

Who could have imagined that the Daluo Immortal Palace, which was prosperous not long ago, is now in ruins, with only one or two out of ten disciples left.

The leaders of other forces also sighed in their hearts, feeling a sense of grief over the death of a rabbit.

Now that the Daluo Immortal Palace has been destroyed, how could the forces they belong to stay out of it

I am afraid that it has fallen into danger now, and may be destroyed at any time in the wind and rain.

The suggestion of the headmaster of Daluo Immortal Palace was soon adopted by several other heads of sects.

They all held magical weapons in their hands.

The problem is that using immortal weapons is not an easy task.

The strength and spirit they had lost had not yet been recovered.

In addition, the spiritual energy was polluted, and the spiritual realm was somehow becoming increasingly difficult to communicate with, causing their recovery to be very slow.

Now, they can only seek help from the ancestors in the fairy world to see if they can interfere with the ancient world and create a glimmer of hope for them.

If several masters join forces, it is not difficult to communicate with the fairy world.

There is an altar in the main hall of Daluo Immortal Palace, which enables communication with the immortal world.

After injecting enough mana, the altar burst into light, forming countless divine chains of order that sank into the void.

I have just connected to the fairyland and haven't waited for the masters to ask for help.

They received bad news.

It can also be said to be the most terrible bad news in history.

"I was originally thinking of using my magical powers to contact you, but I didn't expect you to contact me on your own initiative. So let me make it short. Several places in the Immortal Realm have discovered traces of evil activities from outside the domain. The various Immortal Realms have reached a consensus and are ready to cut off ties with the lower world and sever the path to immortality. Only if you can survive this calamity will you reopen the path to immortality."

"Our area is quite remote, so there is a certain lag in news. Other places have already started to cut off the immortal road. I will teach you a method of self-sealing, which can seal yourself and live for a long time until the immortal road reopens. This is all I can do. The blessing or disaster depends on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a magic seal flew out from the void and crashed into the brain of the head of the Daluo Immortal Palace.

It is a method of cutting one's own roots and sealing oneself that can allow practitioners to live for a long time.

Just as several masters were about to speak, the chains on the altar broke and a glow appeared. They tried to re-establish the connection, but found that they could not form a divine chain of order connecting to the fairy world.

Presumably, the fairy world was swift and decisive, and before cutting off the way to immortality, they first cut off the connection between the fairy world and other worlds to avoid causing panic, forcing all those practitioners to find ways to escape to the fairy world before the way to immortality was cut off. This might also attract the attention of evil demons from outside the domain, speeding up their invasion of the fairy world.

No wonder the ancestor from the Daluo Immortal Palace was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to listen to them talking and hurriedly bestowed the method.

Several masters looked at each other in bewilderment as they looked at the altar that had completely lost contact with the fairy world.

It looks like the last glimmer of hope is gone.

“It looks like we have no choice but to fight to the death.” The headmaster of the Pure Yang Holy Land said bitterly, “But even if we hold immortal weapons, how long can we last against those monsters? As soon as our breath runs out, we’ll be defeated.”

"Instead of fighting like a trapped beast, it is better to fight to the death." A headmaster stretched out his hand, pointed upwards, and whispered: "Go straight to the opponent's world. We will burn our spirits and work together to launch the strongest attack. Perhaps we can tear that world apart and leave a glimmer of hope for the creatures in this world."
