Chapter 936 A new era
The Secret Realm of the Ten Sages, main building conference room.
Liu Xiaoxiao, He Qiang, Chen Long, Yi Li, Lin Bo and others gathered here, waiting for Yi Li's magic mirror to answer questions.
During this period of time, Liu Xiaoxiao has been trying to use the Eye of Destiny and the Thread of Destiny to search for clues about the Eight-Armed Demon God, Hermes, and the Rakshasa God, but unfortunately he has not been successful.
He Qiang also used various artifacts to perform divination and deduction, while Lin Bo used the great prophecy technique derived from the bloodline of the God of Heavenly Punishment to make predictions, but they still did not get any clues. Even the Heavenly Dao Atlas was full of insignificant little things.
Not long after, a picture appeared on the magic mirror.
It was a world of darkness and fire. The earth was cracked, magma was rolling, the air was turbid, and no one knew where it was.
"It's still the same as the other methods. It works, but not much." He Qiang closed his eyes. "But it's better than the previous dark appearance. At least we can know that he is not in the forest or the ocean."
Not long after, the picture changed, and this time, Liu Xiaoxiao could be sure that the magic mirror showed the underworld.
However, the underworld has countless levels and many changes. It is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack for him to locate Hermes. Even if he really meets him, he will not be able to stop him.
The only thing that is certain is that Hermes is trying to seize control of the center of the underworld at a very fast speed, but he and Rakshasa are trying to stop each other, although they are still holding each other back.
"The Hermes God of Commerce Scepter should have some ability of hidden laws, otherwise it would be impossible for us to calculate his location no matter how hard we try." Lin Bo murmured.
"If you want to crack the secret law, you must use a higher level of authority, at least the law of the God King, or the law of creation." He Qiang closed his eyes and leaned back, "With the help of the law of time and space, or the law of destiny, there should be a way to lock him down."
"In other words, I have to wait until I pass the tribulation and become a god..." Liu Xiaoxiao also lay on his back on the sofa.
"Rakshasa's clone is more troublesome than Hermes. His status is higher, and it is very costly to spy on the secrets of heaven. Even prophecy has the risk of backlash." Chen Long frowned, "Given Rakshasa's current state, his clone should not be able to do anything. There is no need to make such a great sacrifice in exchange for information."
"In this case, the only one we can deal with is the Eight-Armed Demon God..." Liu Xiaoxiao pondered, "The problem is, we don't know where the Eight-Armed Demon God is hiding. They seem to have their own methods. Although they are slightly worse than the other two troublesome guys, they are not so easy to find and it will take some time."
"They don't have any super artifacts, nor are they God Kings. They are able to hide their tracks. Most likely they are in a semi-sleeping, hidden, low-activity state. They can't cause any harm, so there's no rush for the moment." He Qiang concluded, "We can just search slowly."
"Is the schedule for tomorrow out?" Chen Long asked.
"In the morning there will be an academic seminar, in the afternoon and evening there will be the Ten Sages Competition, and there will be some mid- and low-level auctions in between. In addition, the first round of the Cooking God Competition will be held tomorrow, there will also be a concert in Tianyin Valley, Rong Luoyun's concert, and the promotion of the Nine Heavenly Spirits Competition at the Spirit Pagoda has also begun. There are also some activities held by the people of Shrek City, such as the divination house at the Silver Rose."
While recalling the schedule, Liu Xiaoxiao answered, "Among the several matches tomorrow, the relatively exciting ones are Xie Xie vs. Soul Envoy Xu Shengqun, Cai Yue'er vs. Leng Yaozhu, Rong Yunping vs. Xu Sanshi, Ma Xiaotao vs. Ji Juechen, Rong Fengxia and Rong Fengdong vs. He Caitou and Xiao Xiao, Golden Dawn Team 3 vs. Silver Rose Team, Rainbow Dawn Team vs. Soul Envoy Team 2, Vast Sea Temple Team 6 vs. War Temple Team 1, Youth Group Shrek Team 1 vs. Sun and Moon Royal Team 2..."
"It seems that only the matches between Sanshi and Lao Ji are worth watching, and the match between Cai Yue'er and Leng Yaozhu is also worth watching." He Qiang yawned.
"You should meditate first, or just take a nap. You still have to give an academic report on stage tomorrow." Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at him.
He Qiang glanced at him and said nothing more. He moved away in an instant and disappeared without a trace.
The others didn't stay long and teleported back to their own residences.
The next morning, many people gathered in the Shrek Lecture Hall. Judging from their attire, they were all members of the upper class.
In fact, those who were invited here were all great scientists and soul guides who possessed professional titles above level five in the field of martial soul research or soul guide technology. Among them were many scholars above level ten from various major forces.
Here, Liu Xiaoxiao could even see the previous leader of the Body Sect, who was also a big shot in the world of martial soul theory and a tenth-level scholar. When it comes to the research on the body martial soul, there is probably no one better than him in modern times.
At the same time, she is also an Extreme Douluo, a powerful person who is expected to reach the god level in her lifetime.
In the front row, there were some arrogant old men, one of whom was wearing a prosthetic eye, with his legs crossed, looking as if he didn't care about anyone else.
Liu Xiaoxiao recognized him at a glance. He was the chief researcher of the Tiandou Royal Academy of Sciences. He had undergone various mechanical modifications on himself, transforming himself into an inhuman appearance. In recent years, he seemed to be keen on plant research. In this area, apart from Yi Tianzhi, perhaps only Tang Sect's Ling Zichen team could be compared.
What he was most proud of was the soul master badge he developed two hundred years ago, which greatly promoted the development of the soul master world in the Tiandou Empire.
Although the researchers from Tiandou and Xingluo countries do not have the twelfth-level professional assessment, it does not mean that their level is low. In fact, they have gone further in the fields in which the two countries excel.
Next to the old man was a thin old man wearing brightly colored clothes. He seemed to be at odds with the old man from the Tiandou Royal Academy of Sciences.
This person is the chief researcher of the Xingluo Empire Research Institute. He has always had a bad relationship with the one from the Tiandou Royal Academy of Sciences. They would quarrel for a long time at every international academic conference. At the martial soul classification meeting of the last Ten Sages Soul Master Forum, the Xingluo Empire Research Institute proposed to divide domain-type martial souls into a fourth type of martial souls on par with beast martial souls, weapon martial souls, and body martial souls. However, it was strongly opposed by the one from Tiandou and ultimately failed to pass. It was determined to be a secondary category to supplement the main category.
Xing Luo also proposed that shadow spirits can belong to all three categories of spirits at the same time, or they may not belong to any of these three categories, and that a separate category should be created. However, the academic circles in Douluo Continent and Tiandou Continent have always been strongly opposed to adding a basic classification for spirits. If the secondary awakening of the main body spirit was not extremely special and completely different from the beast spirit and weapon spirit, it would not be classified separately.
It seemed that he wanted to propose a conceptual martial spirit at the next meeting, but he could already clearly foresee Tiandou's opposition.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoxiao was already sitting in the void. He was not in the surface world, but what he saw and heard was no different from being in the surface world.
On the podium, He Qiang, already dressed in formal attire, began to speak using the soul-guided holographic projection and his own spiritual consciousness.
The content that the ten sages wanted to announce was very simple. One was the successful development of artificial soul bones made of Tianduan metal, and the other was the specific implementation of the National Soul Master Plan.
After He Qiang's speech, a researcher from the Soul Pagoda came on stage. On behalf of the Soul Pagoda, he formally proposed the success of artificial hundred-thousand-year souls and the price reduction of all lower-age souls, including artificial ten-thousand-year souls.
The next person to come on stage was Ling Zichen from the Tang Sect. She presented her research on the single source core. This thing can be used in many places. It can be used on mechas, to create high-lethality soul guides, and can also be used to power space battleships.
In addition to the single source core, there are also different development directions such as multi-body, group, array, etc., but they are still in the research stage.
The Douluo Federation Academy of Sciences has proposed artificial intelligence applications and space exploration technology. The former has been demonstrated to the public through the Star Wars Network, while the latter is one of the basic theories of interstellar exploration.
The Tiandou Royal Academy of Sciences disassembled the Black Spider and built an extra-large combat robot based on it, saying that this thing will be one of the development directions of extra-large mechas in the future.
The Xingluo Empire Research Institute actually developed a fighting soul guide, which is a path that is no less powerful than fighting armor. It binds the power of bloodline with the soul guide, thereby exerting a power far exceeding that of soul guides of the same level.
The Tiandou Empire has always been in the leading position in the research of metal processing and machinery manufacturing, while the Xingluo Empire excels in the combination of life and technology and is in the leading position in the fields of medicine, bloodline, etc.
Finally, it was about the research of Golden Dawn. Yi Tianzhi personally came on stage and brought the super soldier plan.
The so-called Super Soldier Plan is to mass-produce Titled Douluo. The method is very simple, and the Tang Sect also understands it. That is to use a large number of single positive circulation source cores to directly fill the soul power required for each level of upgrade until the body strength is not enough to continue to withstand a higher level of soul power.
Of course, as long as the cost of this thing cannot be reduced, it will be impossible to implement it, and it can only be considered an empty promise at best.
One force after another came on stage to present their own research. In a sense, this was also a kind of competition, and all parties were trying their best to demonstrate their soft power.
A morning passed quickly and Ling Lixuan walked out of the lecture hall. Although he had reached the god level, he still felt a little overwhelmed listening to those formal academic reports.
But he also knew that after reaching the god level, if he wanted to continue to advance, practice was important, but knowledge was more important.
Understanding the laws to advance his spiritual awareness, or learning from others' research, can allow him to go further on the path to godhood.
On his way back, he suddenly stopped and looked to the side.
It was a silver fortune-telling house, a subsidiary of the Silver Group.
He recalled a divination he had performed in Tiandou Continent and couldn't help but frown.
Compared to that time, he is much more mature now and has a new understanding of what happened back then.
It was such a coincidence that when he was looking for Xue Menghuai, there happened to be a fortune-telling shop.
What’s even more problematic is that the fortune-telling shop actually helped him find someone.
This is not a coincidence, but a necessity.
He smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Ling Lixuan walked into the divination house. This divination house was much bigger than the one he had seen before, and the decoration was much more luxurious. It was completely on a different level.
And sitting at the front desk was a person who was no stranger to him.
The leader of Silver Rose, Bai Ming.
"Welcome." Bai Ming chuckled. "I wonder what kind of divination you want? Magic mirror divination? Or tortoise shell divination? Well, they are all the same. Just look for the cracks."
"..." Ling Lixuan suppressed the urge to turn around and leave, staring at Bai Ming, "I want to do some crystal ball divination."
"Who do you want to predict?" Bai Ming looked at him.
Ling Lixuan neither admitted nor denied it.
Bai Ming didn't ask any more questions. He took out a crystal ball and guided Ling Lixuan to hold the crystal ball and performed a divination as Ling Lixuan had experienced before.
However, this time, he did not enter that strange state. All he could see on the crystal ball was a face whose features could not even be seen clearly.
"What does this mean?" Ling Lixuan looked at Bai Ming.
"Please interpret this yourself." Bai Ming spread his hands, "Ten thousand federal coins, thank you for your patronage."
"..." Ling Lixuan suppressed the urge to curse the shop and took out 10,000 federal coins.
If a fight really breaks out, he would most likely be no match for the person in front of him, so he could only endure it.
Not long after, Ling Lixuan walked out of the divination house and headed towards his residence.
Two invisible figures quietly appeared beside the street. They were Liu Xiaoxiao and He Qiang.
"I used my spiritual sense to guide and recreate the scene at that time, but I still couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, nor could I see clearly when the trick was done." Liu Xiaoxiao spread his hands, "It is likely that the other party used some means to directly delete the corresponding content in his memory, rather than blurring or hiding it, which made him unable to recall it."
"Deleting memories is much more difficult than sealing them." He Qiang frowned, "A powerful soul... Is the witch at that level?"
"I don't know about that, but it's better to overestimate your opponent than to underestimate him." Liu Xiaoxiao shrugged, "Let's go back."
As soon as the words fell, the two figures disappeared quietly.
