He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 492 Farewell
As his perception was released, Jiang Lin could feel more and more strange things on the severed finger.

"what?"

Jiang Lin's perception seemed to have discovered something, and he moved his gaze towards the ground.

The underground palace of the royal private treasury was arranged with a formation, which almost blocked the entry and exit of all auras, including the vital energy of heaven and earth.

Logically speaking, there is no vital energy of heaven and earth here, and even one's own strength will be restrained.

But under the severed finger, Jiang Lin sensed the existence of the vital energy of heaven and earth.

Very blurry, but very real.

But in Jiang Lin's perception, although these vital energies of heaven and earth seeped out from the ground, they did not dissipate into the air, but entered the severed finger and then disappeared.

After staring at the severed finger for a while, Jiang Lin slowly walked out of the door.

"Have you figured out anything?" asked Emperor Shun.

Jiang Lin stared at the severed finger in the doorway and asked, "Can the formation set up here really block all the air from entering or leaving?"

"Of course." Emperor Shun said, "This formation was also left by Daozu. It is said that it was specially used to store the bones of giants."

Jiang Lin was shocked when he heard this. The Taoist Ancestor was a figure who lived thousands of years ago.

If I remember correctly, this giant skeleton fell into the mortal world four hundred years ago, and the Taoist Ancestor should have been gone by then.

Why would a person who lived thousands of years ago leave behind a formation for storing the skeletons of giants hundreds of years later?

There is almost no need to think about it, the answer is already obvious.

Daozu, it is very likely that he has seen the skeleton of a giant!
And he thought this thing was dangerous, so he left the formation.

Considering that the Taoists once said that their mission was to suppress the giant's skeleton, they dismembered it.

There are more than twenty Taoist sects, and each one suppresses the rest.

This idea has also been proposed by powerful clans, who believe that if the giant's skeleton is put together, it will bring about a great disaster.

Before this, Jiang Lin always thought that it was because the giant skeleton was too powerful.

If it were really made into a weapon, it might accidentally cause huge losses to the people of Daqian.

But now think about it, is it really that simple?

Is it possible that the disaster brought by the giant skeleton is not aimed at ordinary people, but at the entire world?

The powerful clans never pay attention to ordinary people. In their eyes, they are just tools to keep the world running normally.

If it weren't for this purpose, they wouldn't even blink an eye even if all the people died.

In this case, why would the powerful clans care whether the giant skeletons cause casualties to civilians?
In addition, over countless years, the vitality between heaven and earth has been decreasing, and the only person who can be promoted to the Daowu realm is Jiang Lin.

What is the reason?

No one has ever said that.

But now, Jiang Lin thought of a possibility.

The vitality of heaven and earth was devoured by the giant skeleton, and this devouring was one-sided.

Therefore, the amount of heaven and earth's vital energy will become less and less!

What’s the use of the giant skeleton devouring the vitality of heaven and earth?
Jiang Lin thought of his Sky-Breaking Sword again. One of the characteristics of the Sky-Breaking Sword is that it can strengthen itself by devouring other things.

The Hengyu Furnace also has this characteristic, so does the Giant Skeleton have the same characteristics?
By absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth, the skeleton is constantly strengthened.

Or maybe... the absorption of the vital energy of heaven and earth allowed something to be born within the bones, such as a spiritual power similar to a magical weapon?
When this thought came to his mind, Jiang Lin felt horrified.

The spirituality of a magic weapon is not scary, but can enhance the ability of the weapon itself.

But everyone knows that the spirituality of magic weapons requires powerful cultivation to control.

If your cultivation is not enough and you cannot control it, you will be bitten back.

Just like the Giant Flow Arm Armor, when the spirit was first born, it was unruly and even wanted to devour its master, but was ruthlessly killed by Jiang Lin.

What about the giant skeleton?
Just a little bit of powder scraped off has the level of breaking through the boundary.

Jiang Lin has always suspected that it is the powder of the giant's bones that makes the Giant Flow Arm Armor so ferocious.

Having said that, if even the powder has such an effect, then if the entire skeleton becomes spiritual, who can control it?

The consequence of being unable to control it is the death of the builder, the giant skeleton losing control and becoming the most brutal monster in the world.

It can no longer be called a weapon.

As if he had noticed something from Jiang Lin's increasingly ugly expression, Emperor Shun asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Lin took a deep breath and said, "I wonder if it is because of the existence of these skeletons that the birth of Dao Wu Realm is becoming more and more difficult. And what if such powerful skeletons give birth to uncontrollable spirituality? "

Jiang Lin looked at Emperor Shun and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that if such a weapon gets out of control, no one will be able to control it. Not only Daqian, but the entire world may be destroyed."

Emperor Shun looked at him, but he was not as surprised as expected, his expression was as calm as usual.

"Since I want to do it, I naturally have a way to deal with it."

"What's the solution?" Jiang Lin pressed on.

Emperor Shun looked at him, and Jiang Lin looked back at him without any fear.

"If Your Majesty is unwilling to tell me, I am sorry that I can't do anything about this matter." Jiang Lin said.

Even if he wanted to protect Ma Ningyan's descendants, he would not put the entire world in extreme danger.

If the whole world was destroyed, what would happen to me?
Even if there are boxing skills in the world that can delay time, it is only a delay.

Jiang Lin didn't like the feeling of lingering on with a sword hanging over his head at all times.

So he must get an answer!
Emperor Shun saw determination in Jiang Lin's eyes.

Eunuch Tian stood aside, not daring to breathe.

Although he serves His Majesty the Emperor, Jiang Lin is also the only newly promoted Daowu realm in the Daqian court.

So what if my cultivation in the underground palace is restrained and suppressed? Will I never leave?

He wanted to remind Jiang Lin not to speak to the Emperor in that way, but he was afraid of disrupting the situation.

Fortunately, Emperor Shun was not too persistent. He said in a deep voice: "For hundreds of years, the battle formation has been constantly modified and evolved. In addition to improving combat power, there is another effect that has never been used."

"This effect is called Shocking the Gods. With the Shocking God formation of tens of millions of border troops, even if the giant skeleton has spiritual power, it is very likely to be destroyed."

Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard it. The Shocking Formation?
He didn't know this, but from what Emperor Shun said, he had obviously considered that the giant skeleton would give birth to spirituality and made preparations in advance.

If there really is such a special battle formation, it would be a good method.

But Jiang Lin still frowned and said, "Who can use such a huge weapon without spiritual power?"

Emperor Shun said: "The Shocking Spirit Formation not only exterminates spirituality, but also combines the consciousness of millions of people into one, replacing the spirituality of the giant skeleton."

Jiang Lin was even more astonished when he heard this. The consciousness of millions of people combined into one to replace the spirituality to drive the giant skeleton?
Although I don't know much about the Jingshen Formation, theoretically, it is feasible.

But if the consciousness of millions of people merge into one, are they alive or dead?
"If you don't die, you are alive." Emperor Shun said. Jiang Lin asked, "Has your majesty ever mentioned this matter to the border troops?"

"No." Emperor Shun shook his head and said, "But no matter when and where they are, they should dedicate themselves to Daqian. No need to say more."

"That……"

Emperor Shun interrupted Jiang Lin and said in a low voice: "Besides, I will be one of these millions of people. If they can't survive, I will die too."

Jiang Lin stopped talking immediately. Emperor Shun was about to risk his own life, so what else could he criticize?
Why didn't you tell the soldiers on the border about such a serious criticism of him?
The emperor is going to fight to the death. If the soldiers knew about this, they would probably fight even harder and would not have any objections at all.

Jiang Lin looked at the severed finger in the portal and said in a heavy voice, "Didn't you discover a long time ago that the vitality of heaven and earth was being devoured by these giant skeletons?"

Emperor Shun was silent for a few seconds, which was rare, and then he said, "It was indeed discovered a long time ago."

"But you didn't make it public, but deliberately concealed it. Because the fewer Dao Martial Realm people there are in the world, the fewer opponents the Giant Skeleton will have."

Emperor Shun shook his head and said, "This is just one of the reasons. It's also because my opponents have never been at the Daowu realm."

"Who is that?" Jiang Lin subconsciously looked upwards: "A being above the Nine Heavens?"

"That's it."

Although Emperor Shun did not explicitly deny it, Jiang Lin saw a hint of helplessness in his tone and expression.

Emperor Shun waved his hand, and the door behind him closed automatically, hiding the severed finger.

His eyes were still on Jiang Lin, and he said, "There is no rush for the border troops' weapons. If you have time, you can go to a very far place to take a look, and everything will become clear."

"Why don't you just tell me what's there?" Jiang Lin asked.

Emperor Shun said: "Because what the ears hear is often not as intuitive as what the eyes see."

"How far is the so-called faraway place?" Jiang Lin asked.

Emperor Shundi answered very straightforwardly this time: "When you see what you should see, you have arrived."

Jiang Lin did not ask any more questions. At this point, the answers to all the questions were almost certain.

Whether the answer is correct can only be verified by going to a very far place.

Jiang Lin took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I will leave in a few days. I hope that all my doubts will be answered when I come back."

"Maybe." Emperor Shun's tone was still ambiguous.

It seems that even if you go to a very far place and see the truth, you will not get the final answer.

This made Jiang Lin even more curious about it, and he wanted to go to a remote place to find out more urgently.

Afterwards, several people left the underground palace.

Jiang Lin walked out of the palace quickly. Eunuch Tian watched him leave and complained in a low voice: "This Lord Jiang is too rude to His Majesty."

"It's not surprising." Emperor Shun said calmly, "When he comes back, it won't be like this anymore."

Eunuch Tian hesitated, but couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, can the Ten Thousand Souls Formation really suppress the spirit of the giant skeleton? If there is a mistake, Your Majesty will..."

He didn't finish his words, but the concern in his words was clear.

Emperor Shun turned and walked towards the imperial study, his tone nonchalant.

"Millions of people have gone, so how can I not go? They say that the border troops are not afraid of death, am I afraid too?"

"For the sake of complete stability in the world, we must do it, whether it is possible or not!"

"Even if I fail, I will have no regrets!"

Eunuch Tian followed behind, and after a while, he said, "When the time comes, please bring me along, Your Majesty. I will be able to help you. At the very least, I will be able to accompany Your Majesty to the end."

This old eunuch, who had accompanied Emperor Shun for decades, had reached an age where he was no longer afraid of life or death.

His loyalty is evident from this.

Jiang Lin left the palace with his head down and remained silent all the way.

I was just thinking in my mind how feasible what Emperor Shun said was.

Strictly speaking, there is a probability of success.

It would be too shocking to tell others that they sacrificed tens of millions of people to create such an earth-shattering weapon.

Once the news got out, there was no telling how many families would be in turmoil.

What about those orphans and widows?
"We must go to this extremely remote place as soon as possible to see what is there. This is what makes the Daqian emperors, generation after generation, determined to do this!"

"Before we go over, we must first test the Great Snow Mountain and find a place to plant the ancient purple gold wood. We can't delay any longer."

The seedling of the ancient purple gold tree is now more than one foot tall and has grown six pairs of leaves.

The golden and purple luster is shining and looks quite extraordinary.

It grows very fast, and every time it grows a new pair of leaves, it absorbs more vital energy from heaven and earth.

At present, except for the Hengyu Furnace, ordinary soil can no longer be used to grow it, otherwise it will absorb all valuable things around it in a short time.

After all, the Blacksmith Camp is a place where many people come and go, and it would not be good to turn it into a desolate place.

When Jiang Lin returned to the blacksmith camp, Old Man Wei and the others had not returned yet. He guessed that they had finally brought the two children into the city and wanted to stroll around for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Lin took out the seedling of the ancient purple gold wood from the Hengyu furnace.

Looking at the foot-long seedling in front of him, Jiang Lin looked at Jiang Hengyu who floated out with it.

Jiang Hengyu knew what Jiang Lin was going to do, and said, "After the master plants it, will we have a chance to see each other again in the future?"

Although his expression and tone did not change much, asking this question showed his reluctance.

The young seedling of the ancient purple gold tree was also swaying in Jiang Lin's hand, and its branches were trying hard to reach towards Jiang Hengyu.

It already has a certain spirituality, but it is not clear enough and cannot be expressed in words.

You can only use actions to express your needs.

In the heart of this young seedling, Jiang Hengyu might be the brother it can rely on, and his importance may even exceed that of Jiang Lin.

After all, Jiang Lin only brought it here, and it was the Hengyu Furnace that incubated it and raised it until now.

Jiang Lin was not sure of the answer. After all, he had not heard of this ancient purple gold tree so far, and it was very likely that it was not in a place he was familiar with.

He looked at Jiang Hengyu and chose to tell the truth: "I don't know, but this time I will try my best to plant it where we can find it."

Jiang Hengyu said: "It doesn't matter if I can't find it. Once my exploration ability is fully charged, I will find it eventually."

He floated over and tapped the branch of the ancient purple gold tree lightly: "Grow up well, we will see each other again in the future."

The young seedlings of the ancient purple gold tree shook, and the branches and leaves rustled.

Other psychic divine bodies also floated out to say goodbye.
