Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

[Martial arts training is more difficult to increase lifespan than cultivating immortals. Although it can be increased, it will be much slower. Immortal cultivators increase lifespan during the foundation-building stage, but martial arts training only starts to extend lifespan after reaching the ninth stage. The previous stages are just about refining the physique and have no effect on lifespan. The only advantage is that the training speed is slightly faster than that of immortal cultivators, and the attack power in the early stages is also stronger than that of immortal cultivators. Because immortal cultivators may not be able to reach the foundation-building stage in five years, as long as martial arts training does not stop, there will be a little progress every moment. In five years, it is possible to reach the second or third stage, and the attack power will be as strong as that of immortal cultivators in the foundation-building stage (?????)?～]

Finally, there's magic. This path is more popular than the previous two because it doesn't require too many requirements or conditions. As long as one's physique can sense energy, one can learn it. It's much more popular by comparison, but its drawbacks are also obvious. It's even harder to increase lifespan through magic than through martial arts. Aside from those of an immortal race, other short-lived races only become stronger by practicing magic, not immortal. If one truly relies on magic to increase lifespan, one must at least reach the twelfth level and learn forbidden magic to extend their lifespan (??｀)?

[Well, let me also talk about the technological side. Like magic, technology is a path chosen by many creatures. Compared to the previous three paths, which all rely on individual cultivation, the technological side is different. It relies on the development of the entire race. It depends on the group. As technology develops and progresses, the group will also progress. As long as there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, and technology can continue to develop, then this race has a chance to achieve common immortality. Have you heard of mechanical ascension, sister? It's this kind of (?? ? ??)~]

However, by comparison, technology is the slowest, as its development requires an extremely long time to research and explore. A slight inattention could lead to a wrong path or even setbacks. There are very few worlds that can truly achieve mechanical ascension, and each one is at the top level. The years spent on this journey are so long, it's hard to say how many creatures can wait until this moment. ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

The first three paths all rely on one's own efforts, and sooner or later one will have the opportunity to become stronger and live longer. However, the path of science and technology relies on the group. If successful, everyone will make progress, and the progress can be maintained for a long time. As long as one succeeds, the entire race will be considered successful. There is no need to let everyone practice on their own. This is also one of the advantages of science and technology over the practice path, but it is really difficult to achieve (˙-˙)~]

Yunyun's words contained a lot of knowledge. Qiuyue tried very hard to digest it. When Yunyun finished speaking, she felt that her brain was a little overloaded.

I'm really sorry, she is indeed a little stupid and can't compare to the smart people at home.

"Oh, so each of the four options has its own advantages and disadvantages. It's just that those with spiritual roots are better off cultivating immortality so as not to waste their talents, right?"

After receiving all the information, Qiuyue came to the final conclusion. Yunyun immediately clapped her hands and set off a small firework in her mind.

"Yes, sister. Nowadays, everyone in the country is practicing. Those with spiritual roots cultivate immortality, while those without spiritual roots practice martial arts or learn magic. It's not like the remaining 99% are wasted. Moreover, the entire country is still developing in science and technology. They plan to catch everyone and not leave anyone behind (?＞?＜?)"

Qiuyue nodded suddenly, and it took a long time before she sighed in her heart.

She is worthy of being her motherland, she is still so wise and powerful.

[Wu! Sister, the ceremony is about to beginヽ(^0^)ノ～]

Just when Qiuyue was still sighing, Yunyun called her. Qiuyue immediately raised her head again and began to watch the new changes carefully.

The nine floating islands and the giant stone platform had arrived earlier, but the real ceremony had just begun. Qiuyue saw a huge light screen appear above the nine floating islands, and a whole circle of portals also appeared on the periphery. Out of them came cultivators on their respective aircraft. They all had instruments and equipment in their hands, busy preparing to start the live broadcast - this was broadcast to the whole country, just like the National Day and the Spring Festival. The opening day of the nine major sects had become one of the most important festivals in the country.

Since this ceremony is so grand, are there no spectators?

Of course not. After dozens of photographers came out, the large circle portal did not disappear. Instead, large groups of people came out of it. They were all sitting on high and low seats like those in a gymnasium. They came out of the portal in rows and formed several large circles surrounding the nine floating islands. Those with good eyesight could see directly, and those with poor eyesight could see the light screen, just like a concert.

The number of spectators was huge. After several rounds, Qiuyue estimated that there were more than 10 million people. This was no joke - the seats were in mid-air, there were no venue restrictions, no seat restrictions, and no space restrictions. Even if 100 million people were seated, it would be more than enough.

When the audience arrived, their cheers came with them. Qiuyue heard the cheers resounding through the sky, and she couldn't help but smile because of the excitement.

People are always infected by the hustle and bustle around them.

"Yue'er, how do you feel? Is it lively?"

Bai Ma, who had already cleared the dishes, asked with a smile. Qiu Yue came back to her senses and immediately nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yeah, it's really lively. It feels like it's almost Chinese New Year. There are so many people here."

"Hey, that's still a small number. When the festival first started, hundreds of millions of people showed up. Several mountains were plowed bare. If Yunyun hadn't come up with these suspended chairs to let them fly, there would have been a lot of stampedes."

Master Hong said this with great emotion. Qiuyue widened her eyes slightly and asked in surprise, "Ah? So many people?"

"Yes, because everyone was still new in the first year, Hai Qing and the others underestimated the desire of mortals to cultivate immortality and didn't let them test their spiritual roots in all places. So when the first ceremony was held, almost half of the country came, all wanting to see if they had spiritual roots and whether they could cultivate immortality. Everyone was really shocked at the time. Even the blind clan leader and other non-founding members came to help maintain order. Otherwise, there would have been a tragedy on the first day."

Zhang Haixing couldn't help but confide in him, Qiuyue immediately took a breath of cold air, and her scalp went numb with shock.

She couldn't even imagine how horrific the scene was.

"Yes, everyone learned their lesson later. Yunyun arranged for a batch of spirit stones to be tested, and the government staff were asked to go and test their own spirit roots. Only those who tested positive could come to attend the ceremony. As for the audience, some bought tickets online, and some were relatives of the children who came to attend the ceremony. All in all, there were millions or tens of millions of people. For the rest of the people who didn't come, the government sent photographers to live stream the event online, and everyone could watch it online or on TV. It was actually similar to the Spring Festival Gala."

Bai Ma pointed at the several circles of spectators and the photographers flying individually, and Qiuyue nodded in understanding, as if she had roughly understood it.

"Look, the spirit beasts are coming out first!"

Mr. Hong suddenly called out, and Qiuyue immediately opened her eyes wide and looked over. This sight made her mouth open wide and she almost dropped her jaw in shock.

On the main hall of the sect on the nine floating islands, huge and majestic spirit beasts appeared there at some point in time. They stepped lightly on the roof of the hall and roared to the sky. Their huge bodies seemed even bigger than the main hall. In other words, even if they appeared behind the main hall, their huge bodies could not cover it up at all.

These spiritual beasts, whether they were dragons or black phoenixes, all looked very majestic and powerful. The moment they appeared, even more enthusiastic cheers rang out from the surrounding audience seats. Even the children who were preparing to attend the ceremony on the huge stone platform could not help but exclaimed, looking up at the huge and handsome spiritual beasts with their eyes shining - these were the nine spiritual beasts that were known throughout the Internet and were tamed by various sects.

"This, this was caught in the restricted area?"

Qiuyue couldn't help but ask in shock, but Master Hong shook his head and said, "We really don't understand this. We have to ask my son to find out. They got it themselves."

"Ah, isn't Yunyun here? Ah Yue, just ask Yunyun and you'll know."

As soon as Zhang Haixiong finished speaking, Yunyun came out to explain spontaneously.

"Yes, sister, these are the spirit beasts they captured from the restricted area. They were the first group of spirit beasts to awaken after the spiritual energy revived. When they first entered the restricted area, I asked them to find these spirit beasts and recapture them while they were still recovering. Now, they have become the sect's guardian beasts.

After saying this, Yunyun paused and added another sentence.

[Among the revived creatures in the world today, there are already mythical beasts like the True Dragon and the Phoenix. However, those generally prefer freedom and wouldn't be willing to come and visit the sect, so I didn't ask them to continue looking for them. These spirit beasts that have visited the sect are enough for now (?▽｀)～]

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiuyue's eyes widened and she almost couldn't help but let out a cry.

A true dragon and phoenix? Real or fake? Did such mythical beasts exist in her world now?
