It’s early spring in the forty-first year of Yongnian.
Li Xun was wearing a thick camouflage uniform and walking in the deep forest. His movements seemed to blend into the forest without causing any disturbance.
Even if he passed by some birds and beasts, they would not be disturbed.
After walking like this for several hours, Li Xun finally stopped at a place with slightly sparse trees, drank some water, and planned to take a rest.
Through the gaps in the trees, the sky is still full of intertwined colors, like a gorgeous oil painting.
Li Xun knew that this kind of vision was said to have lasted for forty-one years.
From the first year of Yongnian, Emperor Taizu ascended to the sky with his sword, and Empress Taizong ascended the throne with Emperor Taizu's imperial edict. Over the years that followed, the sky was filled with all kinds of splendid lights.
Of course, that divine light is not static, but it changes extremely slowly. Even in the past year, its form has not changed much.
It is said that this divine light was the afterglow generated by Emperor Taizu's battle with the devil outside the sky.
Regarding this statement, in the empire, there is roughly a 50-50 split between believers and disbelievers.
Many people of the older generation firmly believe in this statement, especially the original batch of Ying Tian Army sergeants. Even though they are old now, they still believe in this statement the most.
Young people, on the other hand, don't quite believe this statement.
They studied mathematics, physics and chemistry since primary school, and believe that the visions in the sky are caused by the "revival of spiritual energy". The so-called spiritual energy is just a substance that is difficult to observe.
If such a vision could be achieved simply by relying on the aftermath of the battle, then how powerful must these life forms be?!
Given the conditions of the earth, not to mention the age before spiritual energy has yet to recover, even if the concentration of the unobservable special substance were increased ten thousand times, it would not be able to support the existence of such a powerful life form.
The more powerful a life form is, the more energy it will consume if it wants to maintain its existence. No one can break this law.
As for the Taoist methods that have been eliminated, according to scientific analysis, being able to practice tens of feet of Gangqi is already a limit.
This is determined by the energy source.
The destructive power of the sentient being's energy from Daofacai is much inferior to that of spiritual energy.
However, spiritual energy is poisonous, or there is "pollution". Using Taoism to collect spiritual energy is a dead end. This is the fundamental reason why Taoism has been eliminated.
Therefore, times are changing, and new Taoism based on career sequence has emerged.
Taoist disciples, Taoist priests, real people, heavenly masters...
The career sequence of Taoism uses some of the previous names, but the core is completely different. It is no longer about gathering Qi to condense the Taoist soul, but using human order to transform the ubiquitous power of chaos.
Power is chaotic, or disordered. If it is directly integrated into oneself, it will only make oneself distorted and crazy. Only by restraining the erosion with humane order can harmful things be turned into harmless ones.
All the practice of the new method revolves around this point.
Defuse pollution with humane order.
The Tao follows nature, the pure heart is sincere..., whatever state of mind is not important, what is important is order.
Order is something that is difficult to grasp. It is the pioneers who have studied the method of knowing and doing.
To build order through knowledge and action, that is, through specific actions.
Different professions have different ways of knowing and doing things.
Over the years, the career sequence has developed rapidly, and Taoism is just one of many professions. After all, in theory, as long as it contains enough elements of humanity, a career path can be developed.
As for the Taoist sequence among the many professional sequences, the most basic step of being a Taoist disciple has no variations, but in the step of changing to a Taoist priest, there are many routes to choose from. You can choose to be an orthodox Taoist priest, or you can
Variations of "Swordsman", "Sword Immortal", "Magician"...
If you are a swordsman, the core of your profession is to perform chivalry and justice, or even a great chivalrous person, to serve the country and the people. If you are a swordsman, it is to come with a sword and slay demons in the world...
When Li Xun was very young, he had a dream of being a swordsman, but unfortunately he himself did not have the talent in this area. He read a lot of Taoist scriptures and studied diligently, but he still could not enter the Taoism, let alone enter the Taoism.
Not even a trace of Taoism.
In the early days of the old Taoist path, if you wanted to practice Taoism, you had to first enter the Tao. Now with the new method, the standards have been lowered. It is not as difficult to enter the Tao. As long as you have a little feeling, you can enter the door of the profession.
But even this step still stumps countless young girls who have dreams of becoming a sword immortal...
Fortunately, there is not only one possibility in life. The path of Taoism is only one of many professions. It is just because this path has a deep foundation and previous accumulation, so it is relatively powerful.
Of course, the most important thing is that the swordsman is handsome enough.
So after changing his profession to Sword Immortal to no avail, Li Xun switched to a new profession, Demon Seeker.
This profession was specially developed by the empire to deal with the demons and ghosts of the new era.
A first-level demon hunter, a second-level demon hunter, a third-level demon-slaying general...
It can be seen that this is a profession specifically targeted at demons.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, the weird things in the world can be roughly divided into four categories: demons and ghosts. This division is naturally defined by humans, not what the demons and ghosts think they are.
But for professionals, their power is based on the order of humanity. As long as enough people think that a certain type of thing is a demon, the profession that is born as a result will have special attacks in related fields.
As for the Demon Seeker sequence, because it is a new profession, it has only been developed to the third level, but the third level is enough for the time being.
In the current empire, the pinnacle of professions is the fifth level, and each level has two levels. There are ten levels of the fifth level in total. Among them, there are only more than ten level four professionals, and as for the fifth level, there is only one.
The starting point of that fifth-level profession is the fifth-level profession, the emperor.
Li Xun looked at the sky, but he couldn't help but daydream about the power of the fifth-level profession.
He has never seen that kind of power with his own eyes because he was not born at the time. However, it has been exaggerated in some film and television works over the years. However, according to some old people who have seen the scene with their own eyes, those film and television works were all shot in the same way.
Too conservative...
About thirty years ago, at that time, all spirits evolved, and for some unknown reason, they all had great malice towards human beings. Therefore, the living space of human beings was gradually compressed. At the most difficult time, the twelve states of human beings, among which
All the land of Kyushu fell into the hands of aliens, and the remaining living people had no choice but to be forced to migrate and be trapped in the small land of three states.
But despite this, the alien spirits still did not stop expanding and killing them all. The strongest of all spirits, the King of All Spirits, personally took action at that time, wanting to destroy the city of gods and completely defeat mankind.
It was at that critical moment of life and death that the empress of the empire realized the power of the profession sequence and changed her profession to become the first professional and the most powerful professional, the Black Emperor!
