A flood of memories rushed into Chu Danqing's mind, and he quickly learned about the situation in this trial world.

Ten years ago, the Chongde Dynasty had a vast territory and the imperial power completely controlled the local areas, so there were no internal troubles.

Then came the external threat: the great powers, with their ironclad warships, blasted open the gates of the Chongde Dynasty with their cannons.

Fortunately, during the Chongde reign, the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism spread widely, and many ambitious people followed one after another, ultimately repelling the foreign powers.

Then, naturally, came the signing of a humiliating treaty that ceded national sovereignty.

Because of this defeat, the Chongde Emperor immediately resolved to work hard to strengthen the dynasty.

A group of young people were selected to study abroad and learn from the advanced aspects of the great powers.

Domestically, the government recruited extraordinary individuals and hidden talents to serve in the court, aiming to strengthen the nation and improve people's livelihoods.

When they got here, things were still relatively normal; after all, being hurt really does motivate you to improve.

The abnormal one was a Taoist priest who offered the emperor a special power called Qi.

Qi has existed since ancient times, yet few people know about it.

Most of them are only found by those who seek immortality and enlightenment, and very few people actually cultivate them.

Even if one cultivates to this level, it will only strengthen the body and at most prolong life; it will not lead to immortality, nor will it allow one to wield much power.

Based on his memory, Chu Danqing estimated that he was at the reserve level.

The Taoist priest who offered the Qi was not a righteous person; he was on an evil path.

The Qi he offered was not something he had cultivated through arduous practice, but rather evil Qi refined at the cost of more than ten people.

Evil Qi is based on humans and possesses many incredible powers.

When Chongde obtained this evil energy, he was initially unwilling to use it, as it violated human ethics.

However, soon the foreign powers began dumping opium ointment during the Chongde reign.

This led to an outflow of financial resources, a weakened military, and widespread suffering.

If this continues, in three years at most, when the great powers attack again, we will have no power to resist.

Ultimately, evil energy took center stage and, with the strong support of the Chongde Dynasty, developed rapidly.

Having learned from this example, more and more evil Taoists joined the Chongde Dynasty, contributing their horrific and wicked methods of cultivation.

In less than three years, the Chongde Dynasty transformed into a powerful nation, sweeping away foreign powers in just three months and achieving unification.

At this point, normally it would be time to purge the evil forces and cleanse the evil energy.

However, the Chongde era was ultimately a feudal society where imperial power was supreme.

Evil energy not only grants immense power, but more importantly, it also offers a glimpse into the secrets of immortality.

Having tasted the benefits, Emperor Chongde was unwilling to give them up.

Then the Chongde reign ended up like this.

As for those righteous people, they initially resisted, but because their Qi could not provide them with much help, their voices were weak.

Even if you wanted to stop it, there was no way to.

Upon discovering the perverse actions of the Chongde reign, they resolutely launched an uprising.

Some capable people found another way, which was the creation of the great powers.

This includes items such as ironclad warships and muskets.

By controlling Qi, one can unleash tremendous power, hence the name "Heavenly Craftsman".

However, these ingenious creations ultimately belonged to the great powers. When the Chongde Dynasty swept across the great powers, it collected some of these ingenious techniques and destroyed others.

Although these sorcerers didn't have to start from scratch, they were still finding it very difficult to make progress.

Even now, the sorcerers are like rats in a gutter, afraid to show their faces, and are constantly being besieged and suppressed by the Chongde Dynasty.

However, no matter how hard the Chongde Dynasty tried to suppress it, it could not extinguish this spark.

Chu Danqing rubbed his temples: "The good news is that this time it's not too difficult, unlike the last rank promotion assessment where you had to find a fuse."

"The bad news is that this world is too crazy. The madness of the last war world may not even be comparable to this trial world."

The demonic calamity, Mountain Lord, whom he is about to kill, is a weapon of war created by the Chongde Dynasty using evil energy.

They were also one of the main forces in the campaign to eliminate the Celestial Craftsmen.

"Judging from the trend of the mission chain, the final link will probably be killing the emperor," Chu Danqing muttered, then observed his surroundings.

He is now in a dilapidated temple.

There is a headless statue, which should be the native god worshipped by the original inhabitants of this trial world.

Unfortunately, there are no gods in this trial world, otherwise they would have come to the rescue long ago.

This time, he was the only one around. The other apostles were placed in different locations because of their different identities.

Chu Danqing said he was a wandering sorcerer, but in this trial world he should belong to the category of celestial craftsmen.

I have many memories of the application of Qi in the creation of the universe.

If it were a heretical sect of the imperial court, then the knowledge related to Qi would be the extraction of evil Qi and the creation of demons.

"This knowledge seems to have come at a more opportune time." Chu Danqing stroked his chin, a number of ideas surfacing in his mind. The Staff of Seven-Colored Radiance is a weapon; it possesses offensive capabilities.

As a magic-based piece of equipment, it's definitely not meant to be picked up and used to smash people, even though it has extremely high durability due to being enhanced to +12.

Chu Danqing also had the original method of using it, which was to directly use magic power to form Five Elements Spirit Talismans and Five Elements Magic Orbs to smash people.

This way, you can enjoy the staff's attack power.

However, there is a problem: given Chu Danqing's situation, his attacks, if not weak and ineffective, are at the bottom among those of the same level.

Not to mention that spirit talismans and magic orbs are merely inferior versions of the five elements and are considered obsolete.

The attack power bonus of the Seven-Colored Radiance Staff isn't actually that high, considering it's a summoning staff. If it were a spellcasting staff, the damage would be even higher.

However, Chu Danqing quickly suppressed his chaotic thoughts, because the countdown for the protective layer had ended.

With the protective layer gone, Chu Danqing officially began her mission.

"Fortunately, my strength attribute has reached 30 points, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome." Chu Danqing was carrying the Moon Orchid Totem Pole on his back and holding the Seven-Colored Radiant Staff in his left hand.

As for his right hand, it was holding the big bone.

Big Bone can indeed fly on its own, but it flies slowly.

Therefore, we can only rely on Chu Danqing.

After all, apart from its offensive capabilities, it is a glass cannon with nothing else.

But wouldn't this be inconvenient for Chu Danqing? As long as he can withstand the beating and run away, that's fine.

What's inconvenient about it? If all else fails, he still has the Five Elements Spirits by his side. They are all capable of handling things, so he can let them do it.

"Same as always, let's search the spawn point first," Chu Danqing muttered, and then began to act.

I searched carefully, but found nothing.

The only slightly useful thing is that the head of this decapitated statue looks like it was bitten off by something.

Judging from the traces, it has been quite some time, at least a year or two.

So this time we gained nothing.

After Chu Danqing finished dealing with the situation, he could only take Da Bao and leave the dilapidated temple.

We can't stay here any longer.

As for where to find the demonic calamity, Mountain Lord, that's not difficult.

He doesn't plan to summon allies for the time being.

Guo Ming needs to cultivate; he wants to try to break through to the 4th rank as soon as possible. The prerequisite is that the trial world he is in can reach the 4th rank; otherwise, he can only rely on Chu Danqing for the rest of the time.

The main reason is that there is an extra Huangtian in the trial world he is in. Without Huangtian, the upper limit would most likely be the Lord of Taiping Dao.

That basically confirms it's Rank 3, but Huangtian added uncertainty to it.

Xiong Zhigang's trial world is still at war, and he uses this to expand his power in order to obtain more skill crystals for Chu Danqing.

Yang Qianyuan was also consolidating power, paving the way for his future ascension to the throne.

If Chu Danqing wants more talent growth crystals instead of only getting one per trial, then it would be best to let him focus on developing them.

Otherwise, it will cause trouble later.

Upon exiting the dilapidated temple, one is greeted by desolation and decay, accompanied by a feeling of intense heat.

“Xiao Chu, look at the head,” Da Bao said, pointing to the black dot.

Chu Danqing looked up and saw a black dot, but it was too far away for him to see what it was.

However, based on his judgment, it is most likely some kind of bird, and a large one at that.

“It’s a demon.” Although Chu Danqing couldn’t see clearly, his memories of his identity mentioned that during the Chongde Dynasty, the Eagle Taming Technique was combined with evil energy to create a demon for reconnaissance and surveillance.

This demon is known as the Thousand-Mile Eye.

If nothing unexpected happens, this living person carrying Da Bao will be detected by this demon with clairvoyance.

"Big Bone, kill it," Chu Danqing said softly.

Upon receiving the order, Da Gu immediately began chanting the mournful song of "The Wind Returns".

As the black dot swooped down, Chu Danqing gradually came to see its face clearly.

Its body was covered with iron feathers cast from steel, from which a thick tentacle grew, with a mutated eagle eye at the tip of the tentacle.

Where the head should have been, there was no head; instead, there was a cannon-like muzzle.

As the body continued to wriggle, a cannonball was ejected from the muzzle.

Seven years ago, the demons of the Chongde Dynasty were only human-centered; five years ago, they had incorporated animals and plants; and three years ago, they completely incorporated the craftsmanship of the great powers into their own domain.

The demon-making techniques of today can be described as a combination of the strengths of many schools.

In other words, it has become so abstract that it's unrecognizable.

After speaking, Chu Danqing raised the staff of seven-colored light in his hand, and his magical power began to gather.

The seven-colored spirit on his wrist spun rapidly, turning the magic power gathered in his staff into seven colors.

Immediately, with a thought, he began to guide the seven-colored magical power with the Five Elements Elemental Spirit.

A seven-colored ray of light was released by Chu Danqing, which hit the evil energy projectile spat out by the demon Thousand-Mile Eye on the spot.

Not only did it destroy it, it even charged straight at the Demon Thousand-Mile Eye.

The demon was instantly swallowed up.

"The damage is so high?" Chu Danqing was also somewhat surprised, but upon further reflection, he realized that this attack was not actually his true strength.

Instead, it is an attack formed by the Rainbow Spirit in combination with the Five Elements Spirit.

"However, in terms of attack power, it can be regarded as a normal attack, but the damage is far superior to the damage of the Five Elements Spirit's own talisman orbs."

"It just lacks the negative effects of the talisman orb."

"There's still room for improvement." Chu Danqing recorded the results of his application of Qi knowledge to magical power this time.

Da Bao, on the other hand, happily went to collect the treasure chest.
