The Fourth Financial Crisis

Looking at this strange-looking mountain eagle sword, Yang Lu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

By comparing the terminology between the cultivation world and the earth, he is now relatively certain that the so-called Jiutian Gangfeng layer should refer to the ionized layer of this planet, and the world outside the Jiutiangang wind layer should refer to the world outside the ionosphere. The universe is a vacuum.

The reason why Yang Lu made this judgment is simple:

Jiuzhou cultivators have the magical power of body protection Gangqi, which can not only offset any form of external attack and reduce it to a level that is harmless to the human body, but can also not be afraid of cold and heat, and even automatically filter gas, as long as There is 0.01% oxygen content in the air. A cultivator who is strong enough can quickly filter the air through the body-protecting gas and breathe freely.

As long as the spiritual energy reserves in the body are sufficient, Yuanying stage monks will not feel any discomfort even if they fly in the stratosphere, which is dozens of kilometers above the ground and where oxygen is extremely thin.

After Yang Lu had just advanced to the early stage of Qi refining, with the help of Li Qingning, he tried the pleasure of traveling for nine days. He flew all the way to an altitude of about 20 kilometers, and even the sky changed from blue to blue-black. , then because the spiritual energy was consumed too much, he had to land back to the ground.

According to the classic records of the Jiuzhou cultivation world, countless cultivators once tried to advance to the higher universe. However, when they withstood the high temperature and cosmic rays of the stratosphere and reached a place hundreds of kilometers above the ground, they would come to the so-called Jiuzhou. Tiangang wind layer.

Even in the daytime when the sun is in the sky, the sky in the Jiutian Gangfeng layer is pitch black. Although there are still thin air and violent storms in this area, there is no breathable gas. Even the Nascent Soul Stage monks will He died of suffocation because he could not breathe, and the Nine Heavens Gang Wind raging in this area would cause a violent discharge after hitting the cultivator's body-protecting Gang Qi.

There are various indications that the so-called Jiutian Gang Wind Layer is the ionized layer at the outermost edge of the planet's atmosphere.

Not only that, the spiritual energy environment in the Jiuzhou world will become extremely thin in the Jiutian Gangfeng layer, and there is no spiritual energy outside the Jiutian Gangfeng layer.

Since almost all the oxygen in the Jiutian Gangfeng layer is ionized and the content is negligible, and the vacuum of the universe has neither spiritual energy nor oxygen, even if the Kyushu cultivators have a fighting power that is no less than that of a Super Saiyan, they still have no ability to carry out effective attacks. space exploration.

The only exception may be Ma Tianyi, the 24th generation leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect 500 years ago.

According to rumors from the Roadside Society, this brilliant and talented former leader of the Infinite Sword Sect somehow crossed the void of the universe and arrived at the satellite called the Ancient Heaven. He successfully attained the Great Path of Immortality and became a He is the first cultivator to successfully ascend during the day since the Second Crisis of Heavenly Dao.

But for some reason, the records of the Kyushu cultivation world are vague about this epic daytime ascension, as if someone wanted to deliberately hide this period of history. Even if Yang Lu consulted all the information he could find, he still didn't know what means the leader of Ma Tianyi used to complete the feat of landing on the moon in the Kyushu cultivation world where aerospace technology is almost zero.

It now seems that, except for the head of Ma Tianyi 500 years ago, Yuanying stage monks have almost never stopped exploring the universe. As early as 7,000 years ago, the Yuanying stage seniors of the Ye family had done similar things.

So what are the ancient ruins of heaven he discovered?

Judging from the blade of the Shanying Sword, this perfectly streamlined silver geometry is almost certainly not a natural creation. And this man-made object, full of technological and mathematical beauty, is completely incompatible with the artistic style of the Kyushu cultivation world. It's more like some kind of earthly postmodern minimalist art style.

Since there is no continuous supply of oxygen, this Yuan Ying stage senior of the Ye family will definitely not be able to stay outside the Jiutian Gangfeng layer for too long. Furthermore, considering that the blade of the Mountain Eagle Sword is just a part of a larger man-made object, and this large-scale The man-made objects are moving at high speed in the near-earth space of the Kyushu world at about the first cosmic speed, which makes Yang Lu couldn't help but have a bold idea:

Could it be that the so-called ancient ruins of heaven are artificial satellites?

There is a high-tech artificial satellite in the universe near the Jiuzhou Cultivation World. This speculation is a bit outrageous, and Yang Lu can't help but doubt his previous reasoning.

Just as Yang Lu was lost in thought, Chen Ming suddenly interrupted his wandering thoughts: "Consultant Yang, it seems you are a little confused about this Mountain Eagle Sword!"

Yang Lu quickly raised his hand and replied: "The origin of this mountain eagle sword is too legendary, and its material is extraordinary. I can't help but feel a little rude. Please forgive me, Master Chen!"

Chen Ming smiled and waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, there are very few fragments of the ancient heaven spread throughout the world of cultivation. Anyone who sees the appearance of the Mountain Eagle Sword will inevitably be surprised!"

Hearing Chen Ming's answer, Yang Lu couldn't help but be surprised: "There are other fragments of ancient heaven in Jiuzhou?"

Chen Ming nodded and said: "Although the fragments of the ancient heaven are rare, they are not unique. Several great monks in the Nascent Soul stage have witnessed traces of the ruins of the ancient heaven outside the Jiutian Gangfeng layer. This is the end of the war between the ancient immortals and demons. The ancient legends about the destruction of the ancient heaven and a large number of debris scattered in the void coincide with each other. But only the senior of the Ye family successfully captured a fragment of the ancient heaven, and the other Nascent Soul stage monks failed to capture similar existences. "

"Then where did the other fragments of the ancient heaven come from?"

"Other fragments of the ancient heaven were excavated from the wilderness area!" Chen Ming once again gave an unexpected answer, "Except for the fragment of the ancient heaven used to create the Mountain Eagle Sword, they have never been found in the entire Kyushu world. Any existence of similar style. However, 500 years ago, Ma Tianyi, the former leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, relied on the power of an immortal to locate an extraterritorial world called the Wild Desolate Territory from the void of the universe. It was from this extraterritorial world, The cultivators discovered more fragments of the ancient heaven.”

I have heard of Yang Lu, the great name of the Wilderness Territory.

Kyushu cultivators have long realized that the Kyushu world is not the only civilized world in the universe. Besides the Kyushu world, there are many outer worlds, and the wild wilderness is the third one discovered by the Kyushu cultivators after the demon world and the outer battlefield. In the extraterrestrial world, there is also a special race called the Spirit Race living in it.

However, as Ma Tianyi left the world of Kyushu, the two-dimensional passage connecting Jiuzhou and the Manghuang Realm was completely closed. Except for a small number of spiritual races left in the Jiuzhou World, the Manghuang Realm left almost no trace in the Kyushu World.

Seeing that Chen Ming was quite talkative, Yang Lu immediately asked: "Why are there fragments of the ancient heaven in the wilderness area?"

Chen Ming said with a solemn expression: "Although the two-realm passage between the Manghuang Realm and the Jiuzhou World has only been open for more than ten years, and only a few hundred Jindan and Nascent Soul Stage monks have successfully reached the Manghuang through the two-realm passage. Territory, but there are still countless legends left in the Wilderness Territory, the most important of which is the legend about Star Capital!"

Yang Lu had seen the name of Xingdu in some ancient books.

It is said that Xingdu is the name of a holy place in the Manghuang Region. However, because no cultivator below the Golden Core level has ever visited the Manghuang Region, there are not many records about the Manghuang Region and Xingdu. It is estimated that only Chen Ming is there. The boss of the local sect knows this information.
