Chapter 337 Survival of the Fittest

The 'Three Holy Swords Northern Sect' is one of the major sects that intersects with the human world in the underground realm.

Poyuan City is also the outermost major city of the 'Three Holy Swords Northern Sect' facing the human world.

Geographical relations.

In recent years, the Eastern Continent has been in turmoil, and quite a few fallen noble families have fled through this area.

Since they've already ended up wandering in a foreign land, how much better is it than leaving home and losing their families?

Even if they appear decent enough, it's mostly just a facade.

Therefore, there are quite a few people like Zhang Gui who, after forcing themselves to settle down, suddenly found their injuries worsening.

Old Xu is someone who travels around the market.

Although I haven't actually experienced anything like this, I've heard quite a few stories from people, both true and false, so I'm able to handle things relatively calmly despite the busyness.

Zhang Gui chuckled contentedly and thanked him:
"Old Xu, I appreciate your kind words, and I also thank you for taking care of me when my old injury flared up again."

However, my limbs are too weak right now to do anything strenuous, so I can only repay you tomorrow.

So, I'll stay at the estate tonight, and you can pick me up at 9:00 AM tomorrow.

Let's discuss this carefully and thoroughly.

"Ah, Zhuangzi is in such a state, how can you rest?" Old Xu was delighted upon hearing this, but at the same time, he blurted out in astonishment.

Seeing that Zhang Gui only smiled and remained silent, he immediately understood.

"That's right, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; they're someone with connections."

Since he was able to conjure up the strange artifact Ironsmith to build a house just now, he might be able to conjure up a large mansion with Ironsmith Doctor to recuperate in a little while.

"Why should someone as ignorant as me meddle in other people's business?"

Therefore, Old Xu opened his mouth without saying anything more, agreed to Zhang Gui's request, and then drove his flying boat away.

The farm fell silent, with only a light drizzle falling in layers.

Zhang Guiqiang endured the waves of excruciating headache, carefully clutching the Bodhi Spirit Fruit in his hand, and got up to strip off his clothes.

Staggering, I walked into the clear lake in the center of the farm.

Then he circulated the main divine energy within his body, 'The Azure Emperor arrives, and all herbs follow his will.'

The former generates millions of fine, long roots in the pores of the entire body.

It constantly grows, emerging from the water, and absorbing vast amounts of primordial energy essence that permeates the world.

The latter, on the other hand, uses the essence of primordial energy as nourishment to repair the wounds on his body, mind, and spirit.

Time flowed slowly by, and more than half an hour passed.

The roots that had been spreading across the lake suddenly vanished, and everything returned to normal.

Zhang Gui emerged from the water feeling refreshed.

Sensing the numerous, distorted divine clusters within his body, he silently thought to himself:
"With the Azure Emperor's assistance in coordinating the movement of the herbs, as long as I am not turned into mincemeat and my bones are scattered to the winds on the spot, I can recover on my own."

The problem is that the process of "breaking down" and then "building up" in the formation of "real seeds" is the most fundamental level of "evolution," not harm.

If I survive, I will have successfully evolved; it's a matter of survival of the fittest in the 'Way of Heaven,' and I have 'won.'

If you can't hold on, it means you've failed to evolve, and it's also the natural order of survival of the fittest.

Therefore, divine intervention is completely useless; only by 'using magic against magic, and using the rules of Heaven against the rules of Heaven' can effective intervention be achieved.

With this thought in mind, he subconsciously looked down at the Bodhi seed in his palm, gently stroking it.

"But facts speak louder than words."

The Bodhi Tree is now alive and well before me, as if it has been brought back to life through a process of natural selection.

Why can he do it, but I can't?!
Therefore, we must find a way to initiate the Bodhi tree 'Nirvana Ritual' as soon as possible to ensure safety.

However, finding the specific teachings of that so-called 'original monastic community' is extremely difficult.

Even if we wait ten or twenty years, we might not succeed. We still need to think about the problem from the perspective of a 'universal method'.

The Bodhi Seed, as a precious treasure capable of triggering the 'resurrection' effect, is essentially a natural magic weapon or a 'miracle object'.

Remember what Tao Yuanjun, who successfully ascended to heaven, said? One of the ways to cultivate immortality is to specialize in magical treasures, and finally achieve the unity of man and treasure.

She achieved "unity of self and object" by relying on the divine artifacts of the ancient "Dailuo Grand Sect" Eastern Ghost Emperor lineage, Taozhi Mountain, and Ghost Gate Pass.

He overtook on a bend and 'killed' Mr. Yin.

Yes, this is the road!

Since it is a major branch of the 'immortal path', its cultivation methods and techniques must not be extremely scarce.

As long as you're willing to pay the price, it shouldn't be too difficult to get your hands on it.

In the future, I also want to achieve oneness with the 'Bodhi Tree'.

Having thought about this, Zhang Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief and put his clothes back on.

For the first time, I stepped into the 'secret realm' that had been reset in the underground world.

The estate I bought at the Sansheng Sword Northern Sect's official brokerage firm in Poyuan City is indeed private property.

From the perspective of the mysterious realm, it is simply a 'means of production', without any judicial or administrative jurisdiction.

It was far inferior to the Shanhai County he had previously occupied in the northern border region of the Ming Dynasty.

At the very least, Shanhai County was a proper county magistrate, a 'Hundred-Li Marquis' of the Ming and Song dynasties, a seventh-rank official, appointed by the emperor himself, following the procedures outlined in the imperial edict promulgated by Zhao Zhusha, the founding emperor of the Ming and Song dynasties.

The act of bowing and kowtowing three times and offering the seal to General Ming Song Kaifa formally transferred the power of governance.

This allowed Zhang Gui to openly and legitimately gain control over a portion of the mysterious territory in Shanhai County.

even so.

The northern border of the Ming and Song dynasties had just been swallowed up by the Yuanshan Empire. After rebuilding the country and re-establishing government offices, it was only two or three days before he lost the right to have the "divine authority" to influence the Shanhai County.

"The land that is bought and sold is indeed useless. From the human world to the underground world, no matter how much you kill and then bring back to life, it can never be covered by divine authority."

I wonder what happens when a small sect opens up under a major sect and occupies a 'mountain gate'.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, even after moving to the Underworld, the Secret Realm will still be my earthly kingdom.

"Just bear with it."

The more than 30,000 mu of hidden paradise is perfectly circular.

The boundary was a black, smooth, and elastic barrier.

More than ten feet above is a ceiling with a similar tactile feel, but it is not pitch black in color.

Instead, it changes constantly with the celestial phenomena outside the secret realm.

For example, right now the sky is a grayish-black color with a hint of dim moonlight, and fine raindrops are constantly seeping out and dripping.

Zhang Gui walked around the secret realm.

It covers an area of ​​about twenty square kilometers, or twenty miles. If we add it together with farms of similar size outside, it could be completed in a few days at most if 'Tiangong Kaiwu' were to build it.

Then the 108 'Heavenly Craftsmen' can be transformed into the lowest-level metal alchemists to establish 'alchemy rooms' for refining food pills.

"However, when 'refining pills' in the secret realm, one must bring one's own charcoal."

The ingredients for the food balls also have to be bought fresh from the market in Po Yuan City, which isn't as cheap as on True Dragon Island.

As he strolled back to the entrance, a thought flashed through his mind.

Then, after a long absence, he unleashed the powerful divine authority that connected with the rules of the elements, instantly teleporting.

In less than a tenth of a breath, it traversed thousands of miles and appeared in the newly built Guiyang Palace of the True Dragon Kingdom.
