417 You really want to unify the world
Lu Qing would have to spend some time studying these two systems.
Especially the [ time backup system ].
The most disgusting thing about this system was that at the top of the system interface, there was a 30-year countdown, which was decreasing by the second.
It was really uncomfortable to look at.
As for the function of using the time fragment to travel, Lu Qing clicked on it, and a new message popped up.
[ location is wrong. Please ensure that the target is in an area with a time fragment. ]
Could it be because I’m in the abyss?
Lu Qing scanned his surroundings. He could not even see a ghost or any signs of activity. Even so, the red and black oppressive environment still made people feel very uncomfortable.
There should not be anything else worth paying attention to here. Lu Qing did not stay any longer. He turned around and found the passageway to return through his divine sense. He passed through the passageway.
Lu Qing experienced the painful process again, but he managed to resist it.
When he was in the abyss, he also felt like he was being invaded by evil, and negative emotions kept surging up. However, the feeling in the abyss was not as strong as it was in the passage.
Lu Qing estimated that, because he was in the abyss, the average environment would not be that strong. However, the evil power that had accumulated in that passage had continuously eroded the world lock over the past ten thousand years. It had become more and more intense, which was why the evil erosion in the passage was even stronger than in the real abyss.
The first thing Lu Qing did after he left the abyssal passage was to activate the system’s ‘unlock the world’ authority.
In reality, before the system responded and gave him a new system and a new level of authority, Lu Qing had always been skeptical about the information that Lu Huan had said, which had almost overturned his world view.
However, after the new notification popped up in the system, Lu Qing’s suspicion disappeared completely.
If there were any illusionary or beguiling techniques that could even fabricate the system’s information when he could not detect them despite multiple inspections, Lu Qing would have no choice but to admit defeat.
If you’re so awesome, you can do whatever you want.
However, the probability of this happening was still very, very small.
As for unlocking the world lock …
There was no need to rush this.
Lu Qing tapped on the interface of the unlocked world. He wanted to see the system’s information and see what it would show.
[ detected the source of the world lock that can be unlocked. ]
[ the world lock is still 0.4% complete at the moment. It is expected that it will lose its effectiveness in 21 years. ]
……
Based on this information, what Lu Qing wanted to unlock was, in essence, the source of the lock and not the world lock. After all, even if the world lock only had 0.4% of its original power left, it was still better than nothing.
Of course, due to the fact that the world lock was already in tatters-in fact, the abyssal passage had already been leaking its power since a thousand years ago. However, all in all, it could still play a small role in cutting off the connection between the entire world and the abyss.
Lu Qing only wanted to get rid of the source of the lock.
Without the source of the lock, the world lock couldn’t last as long as it used to when it was first set up. However, it didn’t matter anymore. After all, the Kasaya had already been corroded to this state.
The energy storage provided by the source of the lock was more than enough for the world lock. Before this world lock lost its function due to energy exhaustion, it would have been completely corroded.
In other words, the origin of the lock No longer had any meaning to its existence. Instead, it was a huge shackle for the entire cultivation world. Removing it would only bring benefits and no harm.
Therefore, Lu Qing did not hesitate any longer. He immediately unlocked the lock.
Lu Qing immediately felt a sense of comfort when he unlocked the origin lock.
It was difficult to describe this feeling in detail. But it was as if a layer of binding on his body had been untied.
In the past, he did not feel like he was being restricted, but it was very likely that he had already gotten used to it. But now, once this restraint was removed, it would be very difficult to return to the past.
He was not the only one who had this feeling. Everyone in the world should have this feeling.
……
After unlocking the origin of the lock, Lu Qing tapped on another system function, which was the so-called ‘time backup system’. He once again chose himself as the target, and the system finally gave him some new information.
[ detected target’s location. There is a time backup. ]
[ nine-star time fragment: the final battle of the three Immortals ]
number of people allowed to enter: seven ”
Farewell!
When he saw the ‘nine-star’ status, Lu Qing immediately shut down the system.
Nine-star level? Wouldn’t that mean that only those at the true immortal level would be qualified to come into contact with it? If he went now, it would be for nothing. Moreover, such a time fragment could provide a large amount of progress and greatly delay the time of the gods and demons ‘invasion, so he couldn’t bear to give it away for free. After all, these fragments could only be entered once, so he couldn’t waste it.
However, he immediately thought of another point.
He opened the system map, and the result was:
“F * ck, there are so many orange points that it’s scary!”
On his map, there were many orange-red dots.
The red dots were the enemies within the territory. The orange dots were where the time fragments were distributed.
Thinking about it, there were more than 13400 of them, so they must be densely distributed everywhere. There were more than 1200 of them in the Yan Kingdom. Furthermore, there were many of them in the Lu clan’s old lair, which was in Pingyao County. There were even two of them on Yuyan mountain.
He randomly selected a family member on Yuyan mountain, and two options popped up.
[ five-star: tribulation of the Jade smoke ]
[ maximum number of people allowed to enter: 3 ]
three-star: escapees
[ maximum number of people allowed to enter: 10 ]
……
There were two time fragments in and around Yuyan mountain.
Why don’t you try one first?
However, there was no rush for this.
The incident in Eastern Sun City had to come to an end.
He now understood what had happened in Eastern Sun City this time.
Of course, the reason the Chui family was able to prosper so quickly in the past few hundred years was related to the abyssal passage.
Back then, the ancestor of the cui clan, cui Qian, had not obtained the complete primordial inheritance here, but she should have obtained a divine-grade cultivation method-even if it was only an incomplete one, it was already very powerful. At the same time, other than the cultivation method, there should be some other benefits that allowed the cui family to develop very quickly.
This kind of benefit should be related to the ruins itself. Otherwise, if it was something that could be taken away, there was no need for them to build their nest here. They could just take what they could.
But at the same time, they also discovered the danger of this place, so they built the Dongyang temple to suppress it.
When it came to cui zaiwen’s generation, due to the changes in the external situation, he could only take the risk to find a way to break through the Dharma stage. Hence, he used the forbidden power buried in Dongyang temple.
In the end, not only did he fail and become a walking corpse, but he also implicated the entire cui family and everyone in Dongyang City. They all became his burial objects.
If that was all, it would be a tragedy at most.
However, the most terrifying thing was that when he used the forbidden power to break through, he was captured by an evil thought. The forbidden power that was buried here was freed.
This power was the contaminated immortal and ghost thoughts.
The three immemorial Immortals-Thunder God, fierce wind immortal Sparrow, and immortal ghost-were definitely dead. However, only immortal ghosts, because of their unique nature, had a remnant soul left in the world.
Logically speaking, this remnant soul did not have any will of its own. As time passed, even if it was a remnant soul left behind by an immortal, it would eventually dissipate.
After all, a remnant soul contained a portion of its power. It couldn’t stay for too long and was exposed to the outside world. It was different from the sword immortal’s remnant will hidden in the Penglai immortal Palace’s reflection.
However, the remnant soul of the immortal ghost was left near the abyssal passage. In the beginning, even when the world lock was still in good condition, some abyssal aura would always seep out. Even if the aura was very weak, over the years, the corrosion had gradually caused the remnant soul to go crazy. At the same time, because it had the weak evil power as food, it could be preserved.
However, in the early years, the evil soul could only do a few things. After all, it was too weak. However, as the world lock decayed more and more, more and more evil power leaked out, and the evil souls became stronger and stronger.
In the end, when cui zaiwen entered the forbidden land, absorbed power, and was ready to break through, the evil soul seized the opportunity and escaped in one fell swoop. It became a transfer station for the evil power in the abyss to be sent out.
That was how the wicked zone that enveloped Dongyang City and was constantly expanding came about.
However, these stories were no longer important to Lu Qing.
Right now, he was thinking about how to take the Wei and Qi kingdoms into his hands.
At the very least, it had to be within the system’s overall planning.
The reason for this was simple. Over 10000 time fragments meant 30 years. It was definitely not something he could run through alone. If he were to do it himself, he would probably die of exhaustion before he could finish.
Moreover, Lu Qing still needed to cultivate. He still needed to quickly increase his cultivation level after the source of the lock was recovered and the upper limit of the world’s power was widened again so that he could deal with the more and more important high-level time fragments.
He definitely couldn’t handle those low-level ones by himself.
According to the information on the time backup system, he could choose any person in an area with a time backup as a target and send them into the time fragment. However, there was a prerequisite for this-the target had to be within his system’s authority.
At that moment, Lu Qing’s system authority, from inside to outside, was divided into the Lu clan, the Qingfeng sect, and the Yan Kingdom.
The former two were easy to understand, while the latter meant that the officials of the Yan Kingdom could also be targeted and sent into the time fragment.
But even so, Lu Qing still felt that it was not enough.
The more people who could be sent into the time fragment and lead the ending to a positive one, the better. Furthermore, since the time fragments were all one-time use items, the stronger the person who was sent in, the better.
This melon had to be kept ripe.
However, if all of them were experts, it would cause the handling of the high-level fragments to be delayed.
In short, the allocation of resources had to be reasonable.
Furthermore, there were only a little more than a thousand time backups in the country of Yan. There was still a big gap from the total number. A large number of fragments were scattered on the land of the other eight celestial kingdoms.
“Come to think of it, I still have to unify the world first?”
Lu Qing ridiculed in his heart.
However, this problem was no longer that difficult for him to solve.
Xia Cang could be considered one of the top experts in the current cultivation world. Lu Qing reckoned that he would be too arrogant to say that he could take on 10 people like Xia Cang. However, it should not be a problem for him to take on five or six people.
In this way, as long as he didn’t rush things and cause the entire world to unite against him, there seemed to be a good chance of unifying the world.
Moreover, the unification of the world could be done at the same time as the time fragment. He had to think of a way to deal with those within the country of Yan first. Furthermore, he had to think of a way to get Yunxiao sect, which was already a fat piece of meat in his mouth, into the system. Then, he would mobilize the power of the country to get rid of the time fragments in the Yan Kingdom as much as possible.
As for the other countries, his primary goal was to see if he could think of a way to take over the Wei and Qi States in the next few years.
“If that’s the case, there’s a lot to do in the next 30 years, Yingluo.”
With this thought in mind, he walked out of the Dongyang temple.
The outside world was still frozen. He could be considered to have used his full strength previously. The power of ice and snow that he had activated was not so easy to dissolve in a natural environment.
Naturally, the Dharma adept from the Wu country, the ‘Heavenly Fire deity’ LAN nuo Xing, was still frozen in the ice sea.
Xia Cang and Zheng Yu had the ability to save him. However, they were intimidated by Lu Qing’s warning that they were not allowed to enter the wicked territory. As such, they did not dare to enter.
The combat strength that Lu Qing had displayed when he defeated the three-headed evil spirit was too frightening. In their understanding, this was a power that completely surpassed this era.
Under such a threat, it was normal for them not to act rashly.
However, Raynor had actually not died yet.
The vitality of a Dharma adept was always stronger. Although it had been frozen for so long and was already very weak, if there was no external help to unseal it, it might just freeze to death inside.
But at least he wasn’t dead yet.
