Infinite Fighting

Chapter 145 Impermanence Stack

The four extreme worlds are divided into levels.

This pile of buildings on the surface, located in the center, serves as a transfer station and is called the [Dust and Sky Hub].

From the surface all the way up to the ninth heaven, there are a total of thirty-three heavens, with the concentration of spiritual energy ranging from level four to level ten. In the topmost level [Taichu Heaven], even if you only stay there for half an hour, the retention money required is something that the lower-level people cannot earn in ten lifetimes.

And from the transfer station Dust Hub downwards, underground are the eighteen layers of the Abyss.

In the Wujian Abyss, the place with the highest concentration of spiritual energy is only level four, and that can only be found in the internal training rooms of forces with a certain amount of capital. The highest level in the outside world is level one or level two.

But more than 90% of the world's human beings are concentrated among them, and most of them have only reached the Qi training stage.

The biggest goal they have been working hard for all their lives may be to be able to break through to the foundation-building stage, and then have the opportunity to go to the thirty-third heaven to continue to be exploited.

This world is even more rigid than the most capitalist country class on the Origin Star where Zhang Ji is located.

The upper class has monopolized all resources, and society would have been lifeless long ago.

There is no chance of resistance.

The gap in strength and resources is too great. One person at the top is enough to suppress all those at the bottom.

Zhang Ji gathered his spirit and arrived at the Four Poles Realm.

To be precise, we have arrived at the [Dust Sky Hub] area on the surface of the earth.

Dust Sky Hub is a transit station city, leading to the thirty-three heavens of the Nine Skies, and also to the eighteen layers of the Abyss of the Nine Netherworlds.

Of course, it is difficult to get up there.

If you want to go to the Thirty-third Heaven, there are certain cultivation requirements, at least the Foundation Establishment level. And even if you are at the lowest level [Shao Lingtian], you have to pay one hundred third-level spirit coins to get one day of stay.

And want to go to the underground abyss?
Free, absolutely free!
That place is a complete slum and anyone can go there.

Zhang Ji flew and landed on the surface of Chen Xiaoshu. Looking up and around, he could see some cultivators flying around, most of whom were using psychic technology.

Those spiritual weapons all have a strong sense of technology, and are very different from the retro creations of the bitter brothers of the Flesh and Blood Assumption Society.

The huge transport fairy boat passed through the [Xuan Ji Wan Hua Formation] and entered the thirty-third heaven, sending in a large amount of mined spirit stones.

The amount of information here is really huge.

That immortal boat has spatial properties, and the space inside it is so huge that it can probably accommodate an entire city.

The world today has reached the end of resource depletion.

The spiritual veins are about to run out. In fifty years at most, there will be a long period of the Dharma Ending Age waiting for everyone.

This period of time is at least 100,000 years.

But the public may not be aware of this yet.

Because the upper level should now only mention increasing the mining depth and finding new spirit stone veins, which will be enough to last until the next spiritual energy tide arrives.

"It seems that the timeline is still very early. The Xuanji Wanhua Great Array is still there. The mud-like characters of the Flesh and Blood Cultivation Society have not officially shaken the foundation of the upper-level rule. In other words, the attack on the Nine Revolutions Quantum Furnace in Tianji City has not happened yet? I don't know whether the floating sinking plan has started. So, the Hedao Jade Book has not been used by "Taiyi-Zero", and Linghu Yao should not have risked swallowing the Yuanchu Sword Bone. In the Taixu Illusionary Realm, the Shennong Ding is not damaged. There is also the Bodhi Seed. Although it does not have the functionality of the World Tree Seedling to make the world grow, it can increase comprehension and the speed of gaining skill experience."

The more Zhang Ji thought about it, the more excited he became.

When I first played the game, those things were only quickly shown in the background story, and then they were either destroyed or used due to various plots.

The player can only be a witness at best.

No, the player did use the [Shennong Ding], but he only asked Nangong Zhiqing to help him refine a few pills. The handling fee was extremely expensive, and the [Shennong Ding] was a broken one at that time.

If I could snatch the intact [Shennong Ding] I could make some pills for myself.

Zhang Ji didn't dare to imagine how happy he could be.

That is (legend has it) a top-notch spiritual weapon, a masterpiece that took the ancestors hundreds of thousands of years to create.

Zhang Ji’s current bloodline blessing and various supplements have reached a small bottleneck, and the improvement is not as great as before.

If he could get that thing, he would be able to make another big improvement.

There is also [Yuanchu Sword Bone].

The attributes added by that thing are ridiculously high, and it is an alternative super spiritual root. Instead of giving it to that stupid woman who has ruined her brain by playing teacher-student romance, it is better to improve its attributes.

"Plan it carefully. The original plan remains unchanged. We should first master the local language, and then find a way to join a local organization. The Flesh and Blood Ascetic Society is a good choice. It has a low threshold, and it is also a resistance organization in the main storyline of the game. Through it, we can master the basic knowledge of the development of Tianyuan Realm technology and the route of cultivation. By the way, we can get a lot by following their plot line."

When arriving in a new world, obtaining information is always the first thing to do.

If it were an ordinary human society, Zhang Ji would choose to probe for spiritual particle scanning information and then collect it.

But it’s different here. Compared with the Origin Star, this place can be called an extraordinary society.

In the Thirty-Third Heaven, it is even illegal to release divine consciousness at will.

So he has to be careful.

Fortunately, he had some understanding of this world, so he made some plans before coming.

One of the suspended ladder platforms leading to the Wujian Abyss in Chenxiaoshu was already full of people, and Zhang Ji also walked in.

No one around said anything, but the look in their eyes when they looked at Zhang Ji was obviously a little strange.

Although they all look like humans, Zhang Ji is too simple.

The others had more or less traces of psychic technology transformation, or they had to install a communication device. Near their temples, they basically had a spiritual awareness amplification device of different models, just like a headset.

That is the tool they use to amplify their spiritual consciousness and connect to the spiritual network, also called a spiritual consciousness communicator.

Locals can even use it to log into the virtual world of "Taixu Fantasy Land" and enjoy the happiness of the "metaverse" there.

For ordinary people at the bottom of society, the illusory world of Taixu is their only interest and hobby.

After all, real entertainment is really expensive, while experiencing some virtual data information feedback in the illusory world is quite cheap and can be considered cheap entertainment.

This social situation is somewhat similar to those otakus in modern society on the Origin Planet, but it is more exaggerated here.

No one paid any attention to Zhang Ji. The suspension ladder was quickly activated, and spiritual energy light enveloped the entire ladder. After more than ten minutes, they arrived at the first level of the Infernal Abyss, the [Bone Erosion Abyss].

The main business here is psychic prosthetic transformation, and it is also a place where the flesh trade is carried out. The capital behind most of the related shops is the Hehuan Technology Group in the fifteenth heaven of the upper city [Miaoyutian].

Some people left through the ladder, but Zhang Ji was still among them.

After the suspension ladder started up again, more than ten minutes later, they arrived at the second level of the Wujian Abyss, the [Mishen Abyss].

Zhang Ji walked out of the suspended ladder. This was his destination.

In each huge building, countless glowing psychic data lines are hanging down, crisscrossing inside. This is caused by the incomplete initial planning of the buildings. At the same time, you can also see those billboards flashing brightly, with very artistic fonts and projection images on them, writing and depicting information about many related items.

Zhang Ji recognized one of them.

It was the logo of a chip software, a turtle lying on the water, floating downstream, and next to it was a rabbit that it had run its legs off to catch up with.

It should be called [Water Turtle].

This is a spiritual energy system that assists in cultivation. Just buy a jade chip and plug it into the external interface of the spiritual consciousness. Then it can load the corresponding practice data and help you run the practice around the clock, so you can stay one step ahead even when you fall asleep.

But this thing is not as good as imagined.

Without spiritual energy, it will be useless even if you master your skills.

The spiritual energy concentration outside the Wujian Abyss is so thin that it is only level one. The help of this thing for a few years is far less refreshing than breathing for half a day in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

This is the importance of resources.

Most of the time, hard work comes behind resources.

The main industry of Mishenyuan is various network services.

They sell information, exercises software, and addictive electronic devices.

Selling information and selling exercises software are easy to understand.

As for electronic addictive substances, they are actually Hehuan Technology’s virtual dual cultivation partners and things like customized dreams.

Whatever you cannot get in reality, you can get it here.

If you want to become a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage and destroy the heaven and earth, it is impossible in reality.

But it's easy to insert a chip and dream.

But after the dream, returning to reality, I still feel empty.

He will desire more dreams, more different dreams, to satisfy all kinds of desires!!

As Zhang Ji was walking on the road, he saw many people passing by him with silly smiles on their faces.

Those are basically "addicts", low-class people who are completely isolated from reality and only live in their dreams.

This kind of atmosphere made Zhang Ji feel like he was back in Shanli Island.

Ignoring the taxi driver driving the semi-suspended shuttle vehicle, Zhang Ji walked on the road, turned a corner, passed through an alley, and saw the familiar sign.

The dark red font written above the building and the desolate environment nearby indicated that this did not seem to be a good place.

【Impermanent stack】.

A pawn shop that also sells intelligence.

There are several investors behind it, the largest of which is Hehuan Technology, and the other is Jiuyou Deep Technology.

When they collect things, they never ask where they come from, and they basically take anything of value.

Zhang Ji stepped into it. The light inside seemed dim. He could see a few figures not far away, but he couldn't make out their faces clearly.

Once you enter here, the formation will automatically blur your appearance to help conceal the guest's information.

Zhang Ji went to the number-taking machine next to him, took a number, and then waited quietly.

After a while, a woman in a pink long dress with delicate features came out. With a very standard smile, she walked to Zhang Ji and stretched out her hand to invite him.

Zhang Ji stood up and followed the woman inside.

Zhang Ji has a very strong vision and can see the barely detectable traces of spiritual patterns on the woman's body.

This is not a real person, but just a puppet controlled by divine thoughts.

The woman took Zhang Ji to a secret room where an appraiser dressed in black and wearing a mask was waiting.

There was a transparent wall between the two people, and in the middle was a box for goods.

Zhang Ji took out a jade box and put it inside the box.

The appraiser opposite opened it and took a look. There were five red fruits placed inside.

He seemed to be shocked by Zhang Ji's generosity and was stunned for several seconds before taking out a series of tools for identification.

Then a number appeared on the trading screen on the table in front of Zhang Ji.

To be honest, Zhang Ji didn't quite understand it, because what was used was not the basic simplified numbers of spirit coins, but the uppercase letters used for transactions.

So he doesn't know whether the price is high or low.

But he fell silent, as if thinking.

The other party is also waiting.

Half a minute later, Zhang Ji shook his head.

The other party spoke, seemingly asking Zhang Ji to name a price.

Zhang Ji didn't understand and raised his hand slightly, signaling the other party to continue making an offer.

Then a new number appeared on the screen.

This time Zhang Ji hesitated for ten seconds and then confirmed the deal.

A jingling sound appeared in the trading box.

They were crystal coins that glowed with pure white light, each about three centimeters in diameter.

[Spirit Coin], a kind of coin containing spiritual energy.

Depending on the concentration of spiritual energy, the value of these spiritual coins varies.

Level one spirit coins are the lowest, level ten spirit coins are the highest. The higher the level of the spirit coins, the deeper the attached white light.

The exchange price is generally in decimal, but when high-level spirit coins are exchanged for low-level spirit coins, there is often a price overflow.

This is because the higher the level of the spirit coin, the purer and richer the spiritual energy, and it also has the advantage of being more portable.

In [Impermanence Stack], for the sake of security and traceability, all transactions are done in cash and no virtual currency is used.

Zhang Ji waved his hand, and the spiritual particles, carrying the spiritual coins inside, were all drawn into the [Ark of Hope].

At the same time, he also roughly looked at how many spirit coins he had obtained.

Level 5 spirit coins, thirty-five pieces.

In other words, on average, he sold one red fruit for seven level five spirit coins.

Based on his memories as a player, the prices were reasonable, even a little over the top.

Maybe it was because he saw that he had taken out a rare and valuable item in Wujianyuan, and thought that there was a powerful force behind him to support him, so he didn't dare to lower his price too much.

It is also possible that they may want to continue the cooperation later.

After getting the money, a door next to Zhang Ji opened. When he went out from here, he would directly appear at one of the dozens of random exits of the Impermanence Stacks in Mishenyuan. This is also one of their means to protect customers.
