Chapter 3985 The End of the Great Cultivation Era

Latest website: The place where the sundial is opened is located in the Qiao Plain in the hinterland of the Aoki Continent in the Sword World.

This is the place where the divine veins and holy veins of the Sword Realm converge most densely. There are three divine stone mines in the ground. The energy of heaven and earth is abundant, which can provide half of the divine energy for the operation of the sundial.

Entering the sea area where Guixu is located, overlooking the Sword Realm coastline shrouded in formations.

I saw that the time rules and time mark light spots between heaven and earth were continuously converging towards the sword world, wrapping the entire world.

In the surrounding space, time fluctuations are extremely active.

Fully turning on the sundial has a huge impact. With the Infinite Divine Sea as the center, subtle time disturbances can be sensed in the star field within hundreds of light years.

However, even at the end of the Middle Ages, the Holy Monk Xumi was in charge of more than 50% of the secrets of time. After fully turning on the sundial, the only place where "one day in the sky and one year on the earth" could be achieved was in the Central Region.

In other places in the Kunlun realm, such a high proportion of time is far from being achieved.

Zhang Ruochen's current cultivation and combat power are even better than those of the original Xumi Saint Monk, but the secret of time that maintains the sundial is only 50%. Moreover, the sundial was severely damaged.

Therefore, only in the hundreds of thousands of miles at the core of the Qiao Plain, the time ratio can reach a day-to-year ratio.

The further out you go, the proportion of time decreases.

A complete sundial, driven by 50% of the secret of time, can support the cultivation of powerful men like Wentian Jun and the Master of the God of Death Island.

But now, even if the cultivation level of Xiuchen Tianshen, the weapon spirit, has reached the level of immortality, it can only support the cultivation of a monk in the middle stage of immortality at best.

Moreover, if a monk in the middle stage of the Indestructible Infinity chooses to enter and practice, the core time field that "increases day by day" will rapidly shrink to a radius of hundreds of miles. The other monks, affected by the immortal aura, could only evacuate thousands of miles away.

Just like this, in the past 50,000 years, the only monk who has entered the Sundial cultivation in the middle stage of immortality is the Dragon Lord.

However, even if the sundial has shortcomings in various aspects, it is still a treasure comparable to the Jiuding. It is completely sufficient and has cultivated a steady stream of gods, great gods, god kings and gods for heaven, hell and the sword world.

The number of gods in the universe today has almost doubled compared to 50,000 years ago.

Of course, all walks of life and major forces have taken out all the accumulated resources of multiple Yuanhui to cultivate new gods. However, the sundial undoubtedly plays a decisive role.

This kind of explosive improvement is extremely rare in ancient history.

…

On the sea outside the sword world, various divine ships sailed neatly. There is a giant nine-sail ship of gloomy wood from the ghost tribe, shrouded in black clouds and filled with will-o'-the-wisps. There is also an ancient white jade ship from the Pangu world, and young boys and girls gather together, all of them are heroic...

Some ships were singing and dancing, and some were holding seminars on Taoism. Of course, there were inevitable scoldings and disputes between the monks in heaven and hell.

However, they all followed the sword world convention established by Zhang Ruochen, and no one dared to actually take action.

No matter how great the hatred is, once it enters the Wuding Divine Sea, it must be resolved according to the rules of the sword world.

Duels are allowed in the ring, but private fights and attacks are prohibited.

On these divine ships, there are not only young elites selected from all walks of life, as divine reserves, lining up to enter the sword world to practice. A large amount of cultivation resources were also transported, the most important of which was the divine stone.

On board a translucent divine ship that was more than a hundred meters long and looked like it was carved out of an iceberg, the air was freezing. However, the dozen or so Holy Realm monks sitting inside were all wearing blue silk singlets.

The divine ships are lining up to enter the sword world.

Among them, a young holy king was worried and said: "Brother, we have emptied the Zifu Realm's family this time. If we continue like this, where will the next generation go to collect the sacred stones?"

Another holy king said: "The amount of divine stones collected by the Sword Realm is too high. A big world like our Zifu Realm that cannot breed divine stones cannot afford it. In my opinion, we should unite the world leaders of each big world. Go talk to Di Chen and put pressure on him to lower the price. The sword world wants to pretend to be a good person, but also wants to earn the sacred stone while lying down. How can there be such a good thing? "

The senior brother of the Zifu Realm suddenly changed and shouted angrily: "How dare you mention Di Chen's name?"

…

In the conversation between the monks in the divine ship below, Zhang Ruochen didn't need to release his spiritual thoughts and mental power at all. When someone mentioned his name, he would automatically react.

Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh: "When the sundial is fully turned on, it consumes a mountain of sacred stones every day, which must be borne by all realms of the universe to maintain it. Moreover, half of the sacred energy is provided by the sword world and collected from all walks of life. They have all been consumed. But why do some people always feel that the sword world is searching for wealth?"

The Thousand Bones Empress said: "Do you feel chilled and feel that everything you have done is not understood?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly and said: "I had expected it! But, I still feel a little bad."

The Thousand Bones Empress said: "The strong will win or lose, while the weak seek fairness. The strong win or lose mostly by unscrupulous means. The weak's pursuit of fairness is often driven by desire and turns into constant demands and taking things for granted."

"Compared to those powerful realms, the Zifu realm has the least number of places. And even if it is just to maintain the practice of these monks, it has emptied the resources of the entire world. It is human nature for them to be unbalanced. They may even resent you. , it’s all as it should be.”

"Do you know how much a big world like Zifu Realm has paid to raise sacred stones? Almost all the precious resources in the world have been sold to the powerful world. Common people have to eat chaffy vegetables, and ordinary monks have to give up holy stones and spiritual crystals. , beautiful women and handsome beasts are also resources that can be sold and become the wives, concubines or mounts of powerful monks."

Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought and said, "So, behind the flowers, there is actually a mess?"

"Everything has pros and cons."

Thousand Bones Empress said: "Because the sundial is fully activated, the strength of all walks of life has skyrocketed, giving Heaven, Hell, and Sword Realm the confidence to resist the disaster of the ancestors. Isn't this enough? You want to achieve absolute fairness, It’s impossible to take everyone’s feelings into consideration.”

After a while, Zhang Ruochen suddenly said: "Has the sundial been turned on for too long?"

The Thousand Bones Empress showed a strange color.

Zhang Ruochen was very serious and said: "A long time ago, the Moon God told me that fully turning on the sundial is a radical thing. Radical things will definitely have various negative effects."

"By turning on the sundial, isn't it pushing all walks of life forward, forcing them to speed up? Force them to use more resources to compete?"

"Behind this competition, many people are living in pain."

"The Purple Mansion Realm has been depleted of resources, and other big worlds are probably not much better. Empress, I want to close the sundial and no longer fully open it."

The Empress of Thousand Bones knew that his mind had been severely affected, and said: "Don't be too disappointed! Facing the disaster of the ancestors, facing the shadow of death brought by the calamity to us, if we can't even bear this little pressure and pain, how can we do it?" Is there a tomorrow?"

"The sundial has indeed been turned on for too long. The energy of heaven and earth in the Sword World and Wuding Divine Sea has become a lot thinner. It is time to stop. However, many people regard the sundial as the norm. If you turn it off now, it will still cause trouble. Come and criticize me."

"If you want to do something, no matter whether you do it well or not, or whether it is right or wrong, you must be mentally prepared to not be recognized, to be reviled, ridiculed, and resented. Of course, I believe you are prepared!"

As soon as Zhang Ruochen and Qiangu Empress entered the formation light curtain of the Sword Realm, they felt a strong wave of divine power coming from the Qiao Plain.

The nine-color chaotic divine light turned into layers of waves and spread outward.

"Isn't it possible? Is she really going to condense the twenty-third heaven?"

Divine light flashes.

The man from the well appeared next to Zhang Ruochen and the Thousand Bones Empress. He stared straight at the towering world in the center of the chaotic divine light, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

This cultivation speed is too fast!

Over the years, Jingdao people have been sitting in the sword world on behalf of the heavenly universe and are responsible for solving various problems of the heavenly monks.

The Cangjin Continent where the Bronze Divine Tree took root in the Sword Realm has become the world spiritual root of the Sword Realm.

In the center of the chaotic divine light, above Chi Yao's head, various regular divine patterns gathered, passed through the twenty-second heaven, intertwined above, and condensed into the twenty-third heaven.

Her body seemed to be burning, her skin exuded a scorching light, her long hair was like divine rivers, and her aura was rising continuously.

With each breath, the energy of heaven and earth and the rules of heaven and earth turn into tides.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

Zhang Ruochen, Jingdao Ren, and Qiangu Empress appeared on the Queji Plain.

Immediately afterwards, more gods moved here.

"Congratulations to Queen Chi Yao for her breakthrough."

"Congratulations to Queen Chi Yao for entering the middle stage of immortality."

…

Gradually, the world of Tianyu, the divine patterns of rules, and the divine light of chaos flowed back into Chi Yao's body, and the aura on her body quickly became introverted.

Chi Yao walked out step by step, her long hair floating in the void, and each hair strand was covered with nine-color flames. She looked into Zhang Ruochen's eyes, with a splendid look, and said: "Brother Chen, I did it! I'm not too far away from you, right?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly, but before he could say anything, the Jingdao man first said: "Next, it's Pindao's turn to borrow the sundial, right? If Pindao doesn't break the rules, he will soon be surpassed by you juniors one by one!"

Zhang Ruochen said: "No, you are in the middle stage of Immortality and Infinity."

The man in the well said: "Didn't Ji Wang reach the middle stage of Immortality and Infinity back then?"

"The Dragon Lord is different. He is the veteran of the sword world." Zhang Ruochen said.

The Jingdao man gritted his molar teeth and said: "You just don't want the immortals of the heavenly universe to enter the sundial to practice, right? Pindao is now the spiritual root of the world in the sword world. Once he leaves..."

"If the Taoist Master leaves, I will change my spiritual roots. The Sotapanna Silver Tree and the Divine Refining Flower can be used as world spiritual roots."

Zhang Ruochen said again: "Actually, at Taoist Master's age, why do you need to use a sundial to consume your lifespan?"

"If you don't want to borrow, don't borrow. Pindao can rely on himself and break through quickly."

The well man cursed and walked away with his sleeves waving.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and smiled, then looked at the gods present and said: "Since everyone is here, I won't bother you to make a second trip. Today I officially announce the end of the great practice era of opening the sundial."

"boom!"

Instantly exploded.

No one expected that it would come so suddenly, without any warning.

A god from the Stone Clan respectfully saluted Zhang Ruochen and said, "Lord Dichen, this is too sudden. I just arrived in the Sword Realm today and am preparing to use the sundial to attack the realm of the Great God!"

Zhang Ruochen said: "You don't need to use the sundial to break through the Great God Realm. The sundial can't help anyone practice. It just creates another way and shortens the practice time. And all of this needs to be exchanged for longevity."

A female god in palace attire from the Yuan Realm said, "Dare I ask Di Chen why he suddenly turned off the sundial? Is it because of the divine warrior envoy?"

The Divine Martial Envoy's visit to the Sword World was too high-profile, causing the Wuding Divine Sea's defensive formation to tremble and making it impossible to cover up. Many gods already knew of his existence.

Zhang Ruochen said: "You don't need to ask more about the reason! It has been 50,000 years since the sundial was turned on, and the resources of all walks of life have been exhausted. Now that the strength has increased, the disaster of the ancestors is imminent. It is time for you to go back and protect your respective ancestral realms!"

Chi Yao thought thoughtfully and said: "Everyone can feel that the energy of heaven and earth in the sword world has become a lot thinner. It is time to rest for a while! Everyone must understand Di Chen's decision."

Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't worry, everyone, instead of closing the sundial immediately, we will give everyone a three-month buffer period. Three months later, the sundial will be officially closed."

The gods knew that they could not change Zhang Ruochen's will, so they left one after another.

God Xiu Chen walked out of the sundial. He was dressed in white with a slender waist and a belt, giving people a sense of elegance and nobility. He said: "It should be over long ago. After staying inside the sundial for fifty thousand years, it's time to go out." Get some air!"

The small space inside the sundial, which is similar to a primitive cave, has a different proportion of time than the time outside the sundial, and is controlled by the spirit of the device.

Zhang Ruochen said: "I just want to stop turning on the sundial. No, I won't turn on the sundial anymore. The empress will use the sundial to practice. For the next period of time, you and her."

God Xiu Chen had lost his temper a long time ago, so he naturally obeyed Zhang Ruochen's arrangements.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Yaoyao, do you need to consolidate under the sundial for a while?"

Chi Yao said: "Brother Chen has plans?"

Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "During the period when the Empress is in seclusion, how about you go and help control Thousand Bone Camp?"

"Of course it's no problem."

Chi Yao immediately asked: "What happened to the divine warrior envoy? Also, what happened to the imminent disaster of the ancestors that you just mentioned?"

Zhang Ruochen did not hide anything and told everything, including his upcoming trip to the Netherworld Dungeon.

After all, she will know when the time comes.

Chi Yao said: "I will go to the Netherworld Dungeon with you. Thousand Bone Camp can let the Golden Burial White Tiger take over."

Zhang Ruochen smiled: "You have just broken through the realm, so you should consolidate your cultivation. Besides, you have now condensed the 23rd level of heaven. Don't you want to go to Wangshan's ancestral land?"

Chi Yao's heart moved, and she thought of the time when she and Zhang Ruochen went to the Ancient Divine Nest to visit Ling Yanzi 50,000 years ago.

Ling Yanzi did mention that at the beginning.

Chi Yao was still worried and said, "Are you going to the Netherworld Dungeon alone?"

"Of course not, I hired two helpers. Don't worry, I now have a group of wives and concubines, and a house full of children and grandchildren. I won't risk my life easily." Zhang Ruochen deliberately smiled casually.

God Xiu Chen asked: "Dare I ask Di Chen, who is my concubine?"
