Chapter 471
For Zhao Xing's second stage of treatment, the Transmission Building is a key place.
Bowei believes that the Desolate Domain Era does not have very good means to thoroughly clear the True Spirit Heavenly Poison.
But in history, there were indeed many means that could do it.
Especially some plants that have gone extinct in the Desolate Domain Era; now, the medicinal herbs in the ancient prescriptions simply cannot be found.
Similar examples include many natural treasure lands that have disappeared with the spread of the Desolate Domain.
The Star Moon Spring, which was once located in the Walan Desolate Domain, dried up in the 3rd epoch before the Desolate Domain; the spring water condensed within it was originally a holy medicine for healing.
The Medicine King Realm, which declined rapidly after the end of the Five Emperors era, once possessed brilliant medical means.
As well as divine objects that have lost their divinity in the present...
"The Desolate Domain Era does not have them,"
"However, there were many means to treat me in history before the Desolate Domain Era," Zhao Xing said, looking at the list.
"Lord Ji, in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, have you ever heard of the Transmission Building?"
Ji Si was pushing Zhao Xing's flower chair and nodded upon hearing the question:
"I have heard of it. The Transmission Building is a divine object of the history department, containing the two Great Daos of time and space and causality. By going to the historical period through the Transmission Building, one can even bring back treasures."
Zhao Xing asked curiously: "Does this not create a paradox? Suppose I took away a divine object from the 4th epoch before the Desolate Domain, for example, the Great Expansion Divine Weapon of the Chi Star Empire; wouldn't the Empire have no Great Expansion Divine Weapon from the 4th epoch before the Desolate Domain to the present?"
Ji Si smiled: "The Great Si Nong wants to ask if history will change because of this?"
Zhao Xing nodded: "Yes, you cultivate both the Fate Official and Shi Guan Great Daos; I want to ask how you view it."
Ji Si pondered: "I have read the classics of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Based on my understanding, the time-space travel of the Transmission Building needs to be discussed in many situations."
"One is real replacement; we can bring back treasures from history, which proves that we really arrived at the time and space in history through the Transmission Building."
"But it will not let us appear at certain key historical nodes, for example, going back to the past to kill the juvenile body of a certain God Realm expert... this is impossible."
"I just said that the Transmission Building is a divine object containing the two Great Daos of time and space and causality."
"Since it is a divine object, its power must have an upper limit; the Transmission Building cannot do things that exceed its own power."
"Furthermore, the 'bring back' function of the Transmission Building possesses the principle of equivalent exchange."
"That is, if I bring back a boundary star Dao weapon or a Reincarnation Dao weapon from history, I must prepare a Dao weapon of the same rank to perform the replacement."
"To keep the 【Critical Value】 between the present and the past unchanged."
Zhao Xing thought thoughtfully: "Critical value, is it similar to the spiritual energy value? Does the total amount of spiritual energy value between the past and the present remain unchanged?"
"There is no problem saying it that way," Ji Si nodded. "The critical value is the evaluation value of the Transmission Building itself, but it is not a simple spiritual energy replacement."
"I don't know the specifics very well either; the Heavenly Master's Mansion does not have detailed records."
Following the first situation, Zhao Xing asked his second doubt: "Even if spiritual energy and matter remain balanced, things like information are ethereal."
"We go back to the past through the Transmission Building, and we will also cause influence, right? For example, telling the human race the result of a certain battle, changing the past."
Ji Si replied: "This involves the second situation, the one-way Great Dao isolation of the Transmission Building."
"We can obtain information from the past, but our information cannot truly land on the historical time and space."
"For example, I went back to the past and wrote down a cultivation method for predecessors, but I cannot leave this cultivation method in the past."
"Because the cultivation method is the manifestation of the Dao, and my Dao must not exceed the time and space and causality Great Daos contained within the Transmission Building itself. So I cannot cross this barrier of the Dao."
"Conversely, I learned a lost cultivation method from the past. I can bring this cultivation method back."
"I obtained this cultivation method, and it will not cause any influence on the past."
Zhao Xing asked suspiciously: "Is the replacement of the Transmission Building so precise? Some of the ancient herbs I went to pick are extinct; is that also no problem?"
Ji Si pondered: "The causality and time and space Great Daos contained within the Transmission Building itself should bear the cost and smooth out the historical errors."
"Theoretically speaking, the treatment plan set by Bowei for the Great Si Nong is feasible."
Ji Si's answer was not very confident either; after all, he was not a god and had never controlled the Transmission Building.
Zhao Xing felt that the Transmission Building could not be so perfect; even if it were a powerful divine object, it was not too powerful or too perfect.
If it were really that easy to use, why didn't the ancestors of the City of Scholars pass it down, but instead hid it deep in the Eighth Dharma Realm?
However, asking Ji Si now would not yield an answer; perhaps Bowei could not answer it either.
The trip to the Transmission Building had been determined; no matter what, this place was the only way to recover, and besides, the treatment fee had already been paid.
Before setting off, there was a lot of preparatory work to do, which was to read history thoroughly.
Although Ji Si would accompany him on this trip, Zhao Xing's philosophy had always been that relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself.
He was also reading a large amount of historical data.
Ji Si, as a history official, mainly cultivated the professional spells 【Annals】, 【Ancient Races】, and 【Biographies】. These are all related to historical figures, mainly manifested in combat power.
As for the 【Ten Tables】, they record the major events of the Xuanling Star Sector, as well as the comprehension of the Great Dao of Time.
History officials who mainly cultivate the 【Eight Books】 have the lowest status because they don't have much combat power.
The Eight Books mainly record rites, music, musical temperament, star calendar, astronomy, and seals.
Zhao Xing mainly read books related to the 【Ten Tables】 and 【Eight Books】, memorizing the major changes in the time and space and geographical environment in history, as well as the changes in the territory of the Xuanling Star Sector, and then some miscellaneous talks.
"Clatter~" Zhao Xing picked up a book titled "Marquis Tian You Pinghuai Book".
The Pinghuai Book is one of the Eight Books; the Marquis Tian You Pinghuai Book means the records of the Marquis Tian You Ancient Country's resistance against the void river and the governance of disasters within its territory in history.
Zhao Xing had already read quite a few versions, but the preferences recorded in different places were different, and the level of detail was also different; this mainly depended on the style of the history official.
"The time period recorded in this book is from the 22nd epoch before the Desolate Domain to the 20th epoch before the Desolate Domain, lasting 2.4 million boundary star years."
"It is considered quite short in historical books," Zhao Xing became interested.
The history of the Xuanling Star Sector can be traced back to the Five Emperors era; the Five Emperors era ended, and then ancient countries appeared.
The oldest 【Ancient Country】 is about 400 epochs, connecting with the era of Emperor Li, the last generation of the Five Emperors era. Before that, it was the unified territory of the Five Emperors, and ancient countries had not yet appeared.
The era of Emperor Li is more than 400 million boundary star years away from today; the end of the Five Emperors era was the chaotic era of ancient countries.
The Pinghuai Book only records two epochs, which is considered a very short time. Since the time is short, it must be recorded in more detail.
"In the 1389th year of the Four Yang of the Marquis Tian You Calendar, the Li Star River underwent a great change, destroying a total of 340 million habitable boundary stars and star lands. The disaster of void turbulence affected 3,250 star sectors near the river in the Marquis Tian You Ancient Country."
"Hmm? The Li Star River change actually destroyed more than 3,000 star sectors; this disaster is big enough," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The river in the void layer is 'Qi' condensed into liquid. It could be spiritual energy, or it could be poisonous gas; it is a mixture.
If spiritual energy is the majority and the stability coefficient is high, it is called a void river.
If there is more harmful Qi and the chaos coefficient is high, it is called void turbulence.
Generally speaking, the rivers in the Xuanling Star Sector are stable, and such drastic changes have rarely happened.
The most recent large-scale void river change was the Moon Luo Mausoleum that Zhao Xing experienced in the 'Phantom God Star System', which was washed out by the void river.
It's just that in terms of intensity, the situation of the Moon Luo Mausoleum is far inferior to the Li Star River.
"In the 1390th year of the Four Yang of the Marquis Tian You Calendar, 46 river generals and Pinghuai envoys in the river area were executed..."
"In the 1423rd year of the Four Yang of the Marquis Tian You Calendar, after the governance of the Marquis Tian You Si Nong Supervision, the Li Water Star River change still could not be calmed, and the source of the change could not be found..."
The Pinghuai Book has a territory map for comparison. Zhao Xing looked at it and found that one-third of the southern part of the territory map representing the Marquis Tian You Ancient Country was empty, and the map was dark. This means that a large number of boundary stars and star lands disappeared, which is a vacuum zone.
Only eye-catching signs were marked on the edge of the disaster area; some represented violent void wind vortexes, and some were lightning signs, representing terrifying thunder zones.
The dim starlight is the territory where the disaster is relatively weak. This situation had not improved at all until the 1550th year of the Four Yang of the Marquis Tian You Calendar, and it had expanded further.
"I didn't expect that the Marquis Tian You Ancient Country had encountered such a big natural disaster in history," Zhao Xing looked at today's Marquis Tian You Ancient Country map and compared it, finding that it was about one-tenth smaller.
In the southern part of the Marquis Tian You Ancient Country, the missing area had become a Desolate Domain and was named Li Water Desolate Domain.
Obviously, that disaster was ultimately not saved or recovered.
This aroused Zhao Xing's great curiosity.
"The Marquis Tian You Ancient Country is one of the top ten existences in the Ancient Country Alliance, yet it was unable to solve the disaster of the Li Star River."
"What exactly is the reason?" Zhao Xing, as a Si Nong, was very curious about natural disasters.
Especially the name Marquis Tian You Ancient Country touched his nerves.
Because in the modified memory, the last Xuanling Dharma Assembly was hosted by the Marquis Tian You Ancient Country.
Du Yun also became a genius of the Marquis Tian You Ancient Country, including the roots of Old Qing before becoming a god—the Purple God Mansion also completed the migration together.
With questions, he continued to read, and Zhao Xing flipped through half of the "Pinghuai Book" before seeing the reason.
"The change of the Li Star River lasted for a whole epoch, and it was not until the end of the 22nd epoch before the Desolate Domain that the Si Nong of the Marquis Tian You Ancient Country found the cause of this disaster."
"The source of the Li Star River is in the 29th Ren of the Dao Manifestation Layer in the north of the Marquis Tian You Ancient Country. The Great Si Nong 'Wu Yue Hongdao' discovered that at the source of the Li Star River, there appeared a plant life remnant branch that had never been seen before..."
"It branches, spreads, the lower part lies on the Dao Ancient Layer, and the lowest section has adventitious roots. The leaves are opposite; the leaves are sessile or have very short petioles that clasp the stem."
"The leaf blade is oblong to oblong-elliptic, the tip is acute or"
"blunt, the edge has dense and awned serrations, the edge is slightly keratinized and slightly curved and thickened, and both sides are hairless. The raceme is terminal..."
"The flowers are opposite, with short stalks; the bracts are lanceolate, the flower stalks are striped, hairless; the calyx is deeply lobed, the lobes are lanceolate, with sharp thorns, the edges are membranous; the corolla is small, light purple or white..."
"After verification by the Primordial Realm, this unknown plant is the legendary 'Spirit-Devouring Grass', which can rival the semi-divine combat power of the human race after growing up!"
"It was it that constantly devoured the 'spiritual energy' of the deep void of the Li Star River, causing the entire section of the Li Star River to begin to develop into a chaotic river..."
"Hiss, such a terrifying natural disaster was actually caused by a legendary plant life?" Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked after reading it. "It can actually rival the semi-divine level of the human race."
Zhao Xing immediately checked the ancient books of the Primordial Realm through the star mirror. Regrettably, the Spirit-Devouring Grass had gone extinct in the long river of history.
The last one appeared in the 5th epoch before the Desolate Domain, and now the Primordial Realm only has its remnant limb specimen, not a living body.
"In the long river of history, I don't know how many powerful plants have been born; it's a pity that many have gone extinct," Zhao Xing sighed with regret.
The Si Nong of the Ben Wo Sect in ancient times might not have had as many unique skills as they do now, but most of their plant soldiers were very strong; the reason is that the difficulty of obtaining plant soldiers is different.
Like the highest quality one on Zhao Xing now, it is the Emperor-level Seven-Domain True Spirit Bamboo, which was a gift from the Five Poison Emperor, but it is only a seedling.
The Five Poison Emperor could not afford to give away an Emperor-level soldier in the growth stage; he
himself was lacking them!
As for legendary plants that can rival semi-divine experts, I am afraid that only Gu Luohe has them.
Divine plants like the Primordial Divine Tree are not anyone's soldiers; they are the foundation of the Primordial Realm.
"This time the Transmission Building is opened, I am afraid that many Si Nong from the Primordial Realm will go," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "According to the replacement rules of the Transmission Building, if you are lucky enough to encounter a legendary seed and seedling that has not yet grown up, perhaps you only need a lower-grade Reincarnation Dao Weapon, or even an Origin Divine Weapon, to bring it back."
"The further back in time, the higher the possibility of encountering powerful plant soldiers."
After all, according to the cosmology of the Ben Wo Sect, the native species in the Origin stage and Primordial stage must be stronger than those in the Wanxiang stage. The Wanxiang stage is more suitable for breeding derivative species.
……
The Transmission Building reappeared in the world, soon attracting great attention, even covering up the heat of the Desolate Domain development. A large number of powerhouses were discussing going to the City of Scholars.
Not only history scholars and Si Nong yearn for it, but other professions are the same, especially sewer professions, such as musicians and dancers. Who doesn't want to obtain those lost musical scores and dance music?
Even the Great Zhou sent people back to Jiachen Pass from the Wang Liang Star Sector.
When Zhao Xing was preparing to set off, he learned that Emperor Jing of the Martial Dynasty, Liu Liu Tianning, and Yun Tiandao were all going to the City of Scholars to enter the
Transmission Building.
"Fifth brother, are you going too?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Big brother, of course I'm going," Ji Che looked at Zhao Xing on the flower chair, his eyes a little distressed. "Ji Si said that in the Transmission Building, one can even reach the history of the Five Emperors era; of course I want to go and see how the five generations of luck dynasties in the Xuanling Star Sector operated."
"Brother Yun, you are a Si Nong of the Tian Shi Sect; what are you going for?" Zhao Xing looked at Yun Tiandao again.
"I mainly want to go and see the large-scale natural disasters in history," Yun Tiandao took out a book from his arms. "Many terrifying natural disasters are rarely seen in the star sector, and I don't know how many years they occur once, but in the transmission, they are very common."
He was actually also reading the "Pinghuai Book", and his thoughts coincided with Zhao Xing's.
As for Master Liu Liu Tianning, there is no need to ask; he is of the Ben Wo Sect, and I am afraid his thoughts are the same as most Ben Wo Sect Si Nong.
"Besides that, I also want to see what my hometown looked like in history," Yun Tiandao pointed to the map of the Xuanling Star Sector.
Everyone looked over and found that Yun Tiandao was pointing to the Chenluo Desolate Domain.
Zhao Xing's heart moved, and he also developed great curiosity.
The Chenluo Desolate Domain was not a Desolate Domain before; so what exactly was the Xuanhuang Realm like before?
