In ancient times, there was a poem: One day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world. Used to describe the huge gap between the passage of time between heaven and earth in myths and legends, the independent small world opened up by Xuanyuan Ming is not as terrifying as described in ancient poems, but it is also extremely mysterious.

For everyone on Nolei Star, Zhang Tianjiu just disappeared for more than a month as usual, and no one would have thought that he had actually been buried deep in the depths of the snow-capped mountains where the temperature exceeded absolute zero for a whole decade.

In the past ten years, almost all of his physical functions have stopped running, reducing the energy consumption in the body to a minimum, almost no different from the dead, the number of heartbeats of genetically modified warriors is originally much lower than that of ordinary people, about thirty times a minute, and individual strong people can even be reduced to less than twenty times per minute, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.

But Zhang Tianjiu's heart beat frequency at this moment is countless times lower than that of the most powerful genetic warrior, and it can no longer be calculated in minutes, but in days or even months.

In the beginning, in order to maintain the most basic life needs, Zhang Tianjiu's heart beat more than 100 times a day, but as time passed, his heartbeat slowly began to decrease, 90 times a day, 80 times a day, and 70 times a day...... Thirty times a day, twenty times a day......

In the end, it finally became once a day.

And that's just the first five years, and for the next five years, his heart rate continues to decrease until it reaches once a month.

Once a month, the heart beats once a month, and it can deliver all the energy needed by the human body, and the strength of this heart has long been completely beyond the limits of what can be imagined by scientific and technological civilization and human medicine.

On this day, on the top of the empty snow-capped mountain, a person finally appeared.

It was a barefoot, shirtless, burly old man.

The old man glanced at the place where Zhang Tianjiu was "buried", and his eyes seemed to be able to see directly the situation inside through the thousands of meters of ice.

Under Xuanyuan Ming's gaze, Zhang Tianjiu's physical state at the moment was at a glance, the old man nodded slightly, and snorted coldly: "Yes, it's not dead yet, so let's continue for the next ten years." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man's figure disappeared on the top of the snow-capped mountain, as for whether Zhang Tianjiu could hear his words, only God knows.

……

Time flies.

The small world of snowy mountains has quietly passed another decade.

Zhang Tianjiu has long been integrated with the surrounding environment, turned into a humanoid ice sculpture, for the passage of time in the outside world, completely lost the concept, if the first ten years, his mind in a chaos, and occasionally can give birth to a little distraction, then the second ten years have passed, his heart lake is also like this snow mountain, completely frozen, and there is no slightest wave.

His breathing and heartbeat are only done once a year, and if he is dug up now, no matter which country of scientific and technological civilization is put for testing, there will be only one conclusion, he is a complete dead man.

When the third decade came, on Nolei Star, Amy and the scientific research team led by her finally overcame a major difficulty in biological genetic modification technology, successfully cultivated a supernatural gene chain that can manipulate cosmic energy, and successfully completed the implantation in the body of the experimental subject Tsukasa Hu, making him the "first" gene warrior in the history of scientific and technological civilization who can control most of the cosmic energy, including the aura of heaven and earth, like a monk in the Xiuzhen world.

After the news was announced, the whole Weixi Empire was jubilant, although this gene chain can only have an effect on Tsukasa Tiger at present, but the corresponding genetic code cracking process has been mastered by Amy's team, and it is only a matter of time before the DNA of other warriors is extracted for one-on-one mass production and cultivation.

With this good news, Emperor Gregory V of Visy also successfully promoted Amy to the supreme leader of the Genetic Research and Development Department of the Empire, and granted the title of duke, making this little beauty in her early twenties the youngest female duke in the history of the empire.

The relationship between Amy and Zhang Tianjiu has long been known to everyone in the entire Weixi Empire, and Gregory V's reward, in addition to Amy's outstanding achievements, is naturally inseparable from the Ninth Master.

However, Zhang Tianjiu has not appeared in the Governor's Mansion for three whole months, and he has not even appeared at the celebration banquet held by Amy's team, which inevitably makes everyone feel a little strange, but fortunately, Prince Gregory immediately came out to clarify, saying that Zhang Tianjiu has secretly gone to the Andromeda Star Domain in order to fulfill the strategic alliance agreement signed with the Silver Radiance Republic and promote better cooperation between the two sides, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return to Noray Star in a short time.

Hearing this explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

The Silver Radiance Republic is the most powerful superpower in the entire galaxy, not even one of them, the Weixi Empire can be on such a thick thigh, of course, it is completely reasonable to seize the opportunity and send Zhang Tianjiu to work as soon as possible.

In fact, this is just a pretext that Zhang Tianjiu had discussed with Duke Gregory before following Xuanyuan Ming to the small world of the Snow Mountain and accepting the third stage of physical training, although he didn't know that he was going to be buried under the Snow Mountain for a full hundred years, but out of his understanding of Xuanyuan Ming, he still did his homework.

With the excuse of going to the Silver Radiance Republic, even if Zhang Tianjiu disappeared for two or three years, he would not cause turmoil in the Weixi Empire, allowing some Xiaoxiao hidden in the shadows to take advantage of it.

As for the construction of the Future Science and Technology City, when the construction team was teleported into the space of Zhang Tianjiu's Divine Kingdom last time, the materials and equipment carried by the construction team were enough to last for several years, with Xiao Taohong as the commander-in-chief, and there was no need to worry about affecting the progress of the project because of his retreat for the time being.

There is also a difference between the space of Zhang Tianjiu's Divine Kingdom and the normal flow rate of time in the outside world, and now more than three months have passed, which is equivalent to more than a year of construction work, and the approximate prototype of the city has begun to take shape.

Unconsciously, the small world of snowy mountains ushered in its fourth decade.

Everything is still undisturbed, the only difference is that Zhang Tianjiu's breathing and heart rate have decreased again, and his heart has only beaten a total of five times in a full ten years.

Fiftieth ......

Sixtieth ......

Seventieth ......

Every ten years, Xuanyuan Ming would open the small world and appear on the top of the snow-capped mountain once as he said, investigate Zhang Tianjiu's physical condition, and after making sure that he still had signs of life for the time being, he would turn around and leave without saying a word, until the next ten years came.

In fact, in Xuanyuan Ming's original plan, he did not really intend to suppress Zhang Tianjiu under the snow mountain for a hundred years, according to his estimate, this kid should be able to survive until the fifth decade at most, so as to end the third stage of physical tempering.

For an eight-story building body cultivator, being able to persist for thirty years is already qualified, and fifty years is quite good, probably Xuanyuan Ming didn't expect that Zhang Tianjiu would be buried for seventy years in one breath, and it didn't seem that he had reached the limit of his body.

"Good boy, the bones are so hard, if you have the ability, you will stay for the old man for a hundred years!"

When the eightieth year came, the old man stood on the top of the snowy mountain, and scolded with some annoyance, but his face showed obvious relief and joy.

"Hehe, according to the old man, a hundred years is not enough. ”

A gentle and mellow voice came from the wind and snow, and at some point on the top of the mountain, there was already a white-eyed monk wearing a gray robe and holding a bowl in his hand, which seemed to be extremely simple, but he, like Xuanyuan Ming, was also barefoot, and he didn't care about the terrifying cold of the small world of the snow-capped mountain at all.

The old man suddenly became angry, rolled up his sleeves and scolded: "Old bald donkey, this is the old man's private space, before you come in next time, can you report it first, believe it or not, Lao Tzu punched you to the bottom of the snowy mountain, and be the companion of that little bald head? ”

was scolded by splitting his head and covering his face, but the old monk was not angry at all, looked at Xuanyuan Ming and smiled: "Lao Qu has this ability, how dare he do it in front of Xuanyuan Shenjiang." ”

The old man waved his hand angrily, and snorted coldly: "What kind of bullshit general, it's all a matter of the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, you don't have to mention it again, old bald donkey, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people." ”

In the spiritual cultivation world, there are twelve powerful god kings under the throne of the god emperor, who are terrifying to all nations, and before the war of the ancient gods, the god emperor who is in the same vein of physical cultivation also has eight loyal supreme god generals, who are fighting against spiritual cultivation.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Xuanyuan Ming ranked first among the eight god generals, the strength of the strength of the world, fighting alone, none of the twelve god kings was his opponent, the ancient war, died under Xuanyuan Ming's hands of countless god-level spiritual cultivators, there were as many as four god kings, killing the entire god domain into a river of blood, and the spiritualists were terrified.

It's a pity that the general trend of the Heavenly Dao is the same, and the body cultivation still lost the war, and after the victory of the God Emperor, he opened up the Divine River and re-canonized the twelve god kings, and the spiritual cultivation has since embarked on a period of peak development.

The war ended, the god emperor disappeared and his life and death were unknown, some of the eight gods died in battle, and some chose to defect, and the body cultivation line has since fallen apart, and the glory no longer exists.

Just now when he heard the old monk bring up the past, Xuanyuan Ming was so angry that he almost raised his fist and made a big fight.

The gray-robed monk smiled faintly, pointed to the bottom of the ground and said, "With him, it may not be impossible to turn the tables." ”

Xuanyuan Ming's expression was complicated, and he sighed and said: "If time passes, the old man is indeed confident that he can take him to kill Kamigawa upside down, but I'm afraid that they may not give me this time, at present, those old guys have not made a move, but because of the situation under the dark lights, they haven't seen through his true identity for the time being, once he grows up, they may not be able to sit still, as long as they are not fools, it is impossible to sit still." ”

The old monk shook his head and smiled: "Why should Xuanyuan God be as pessimistic as before, you must know that on this chessboard, you are not the only one who is playing chess, and someone has been doing it for you to gain time, but you are in the light and they are in the dark, you just need to put all your mind on him, you must not be distracted by other things, and you must not lose confidence, you must know that after the end of the war, some people who chose to compromise actually have other difficulties." ”

Xuanyuan Ming's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean ......"

The loss of the battle of Dao Tong to spiritual cultivation was not enough to make the old man completely disheartened, and he had been exiled in the small world for tens of thousands of years, what really made him feel cold was that those old friends who originally fought side by side with him chose to take refuge in the God Emperor one by one, resulting in no successor in the body cultivation lineage and the loss of inheritance.

The old monk's face was full of incomprehensibility, and he smiled: "Don't say, don't say." ”

Xuanyuan Ming looked up at the sky, snorted coldly, and did not continue to ask.

As the saying goes, there are gods in the head three feet up.

For the Xiuzhen world, the big names in the divine river hanging above the Nine Heavens, in addition to playing the role of gods, are not a sharp sword above everyone's heads.

"Amitabha, everything has Lao Xuanyuan God ......"

The monk folded his hands and nodded to the old man, and his figure gradually faded.

After the gray-robed monk left, Xuanyuan Ming stared at the ground for a long time, his sharp eyes gradually began to brighten, and the words of the old bald donkey just now seemed to untie the knot in his heart.

The old man laughed loudly: "In this case, what if the old man takes this life and gives you a ride." ”
