Zhang Tianjiu stood on the top of the snowy mountain, and he couldn't feel the biting chill.

In his ears and heart, Xuanyuanming's words kept echoing, and the voice became louder and louder, until it overshadowed everything in the world.

In an instant, Zhang Tianjiu's entire mind and body seemed to be crushed by tens of thousands of thunderbolts, and it was as if there were thousands of waves crashing on the shore on the heart lake, his whole body was prostration, he was drenched in cold sweat, and he couldn't even breathe in a normal rhythm.

This is an instinctive reaction made by the body of the weak in the face of the overwhelming strong man's suppression, which is not controlled by any means, and cannot be controlled at all.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Tianjiu had also experienced the test of countless corpses and mountains of blood, and his mind was extremely firm, I am afraid that he would have knelt on the ground at this moment.

However, even if he still maintained a standing posture at this time, he looked a little shaky, every inch of skin in his body was painful like pins and needles, and every muscle was pressed by the force of ten thousand jun.

The old man was condescending, with his hands behind his back, looking at the struggling Zhang Tianjiu coldly, and sneering: "What, are you still afraid of hardship now?"

Zhang Tianjiu almost used all his strength before gritting his teeth and squeezing out four words.

"I'm afraid of a ......"

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground on his back, completely unconscious.

Xuanyuan Ming retracted his gaze, sighed lowly, and said: "Heaven has a great responsibility, this path is your own choice, I hope you can keep going......"

……

By the time Zhang Tianjiu came to his senses, it was already late at night.

When I opened my eyes, there was only an old man sitting cross-legged on the ice bed in addition to the wind and snow howling in the sky.

Even the Revenge Queen spaceship is nowhere to be found, and I don't know if it was directly dropped by Xuanyuan Ming on the snowy mountain.

The old man opened his eyes and said indifferently: "Even if you wake up in time, if you are in a coma for a few more hours, your body, which has been transformed by external forces, is estimated to be completely useless." ”

Zhang Tianjiu could only grin bitterly and was speechless.

His body has been double-strengthened by scientific and technological civilization biological gene technology, as well as cultivation methods, and in terms of physical strength alone, even god-level monks may not be comparable, but in the old man's mouth, he has become nondescript and degraded to worthless.

Sitting up strongly, Zhang Tianjiu looked at the old man and asked, "Senior Xuanyuan, before you accept me as a disciple, you should know that I am not from this world, right?"

Although he couldn't figure out what Xuanyuan Ming's intention was to forcibly accept the apprentices, he still had to make his words clear first.

The old man sneered: "What bullshit this world, in the eyes of the old man, there is no difference at all. ”

Zhang Tianjiu nodded silently.

Presumably, in the eyes of people like Xuanyuan Ming, the war between scientific and technological civilization and the Xiuzhen world over the years is probably similar to that of a child.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Tianjiu continued: "Senior, the meaning of what I said during the day was not that I was afraid of hardship, but that in the world I was in, there were still many things that had not been dealt with, if I stayed on the snowy mountain for twenty years, I am afraid that those friends and relatives around me would encounter accidents, so even if I cultivated to be invincible in the world, it would not mean anything to me." ”

Xuanyuan Ming can not take the war between the two worlds to heart, no matter whether the cultivation civilization or the technological civilization is destroyed, he may not even frown, but Zhang Tianjiu can't be as ruthless as him.

"Oh?"

The old man looked at him and smiled: "Why is this, do you know that the Great Dao is ruthless, but all those who have achieved high levels must give up, is it that in your heart, reaching the peak of the Great Dao is not as important as those mundane little things?"

Zhang Tianjiu did not shy away from the old man's fierce gaze, and said calmly: "In my heart, the pursuit of strength is not simply to stand at the peak, protecting the people around me is what my heart wants. ”

The old man frowned and said, "If you are so bent on going your own way, are you not afraid that after losing this opportunity, the old man will never help you again?"

Zhang Tianjiu's eyes were firm, and he said: "Then I can only be shallow in my fortune, and I am not qualified to get the teachings of my predecessors." ”

"Good...... Very good. ”

Xuanyuan Ming let out a long sigh, slowly stood up, his face was complicated, and he said after a long time: "I hope that in the future, you will not forget what you said today, and you have reached the peak to protect the common people, not your own selfishness." ”

Without waiting for Zhang Tianjiu to speak, the old man raised his hand and said, "The old man will help you temper your physique, and it's not that you can't do without this snowy mountain, let's say, where do you want to go?"

it!

Is this a change of mind?

Zhang Tianjiu didn't come back to his senses for a while, he was originally ready to be scolded by Xuanyuan Ming, and then drive down the snow mountain, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and in a few words, the old man actually agreed to leave the snow mountain.

It was happiness that came too suddenly.

When he was overjoyed, Zhang Tianjiu didn't notice the flash of relief in the depths of Xuanyuan Ming's eyes.

Zhang Tianjiu immediately clenched his fists and replied: "In the world where the juniors live, there is a planet called Nolei Star, where I am the foundation, if the seniors don't dislike it, they can go there with me to live temporarily." ”

The old man is also resolute, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, then without further ado, the old man will take you away." ”

Zhang Tianjiu obviously didn't expect Xuanyuan Ming to be more anxious than him, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not in a hurry, it's okay to set off tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?"

Xuanyuan Ming smiled a little meaningfully, and said: "Do you know that this snow-capped mountain was created by the old man with the power of the law of space, it belongs to a small world, the passage of time is different from the outside world, one day here is equal to one year in the outside world, are you sure you have to wait until tomorrow to set off?"

Fuck your uncle, why didn't you say it earlier!

Zhang Tianjiu's foul words came to his mouth, and he swallowed it back, he was afraid that he would be killed by the old guy's punch.

According to Xuanyuan Ming's words, he has been on this snow-capped mountain for more than twenty hours, and more than a year has passed outside, and Noray Star still doesn't know what will become.

Although there is the protection of the Liangyi Dust Array, the external enemy will definitely not be able to invade, but he has disappeared for so long inexplicably, it is difficult to guarantee that some people inside will use their crooked brains.

Fortunately, before he set out on the expedition, Sandrina and Sima Qinghou, Caroline and others were all stationed on Norley Star, and with these powerful genetic warriors in charge, there should not be too much chaos in a short period of time.

But Zhang Tianjiu still had to set off immediately, and an extra hour delay would mean that more than half a month would pass in vain.

……

It has been a year and three months since the famous war of annihilation in Orion.

Since then, the Xiuzhen world has not launched any large-scale invasion of technological civilization, but there are still those casual cultivators who come to try their luck, occasionally after a certain planet has wreaked havoc and looted, before the mecha troops rushed to suppress it.

On the whole, the galaxy scientific and technological civilization world still maintains a steady development, but it does not have the momentum of rapid progress in previous years.

Because of the mysterious starting point technology forum, it has been more than a year without revealing any future advanced technology.

Everyone felt sorry for it, but they also felt that it was reasonable.

Maybe those highly intelligent beings in the universe saw that the technological society had made great strides with their secret help, and they already had the strength to confront the cultivation world head-on, so they quietly retired.

In the battle of Orion's annihilation, which was destined to go down in history, the Athos Empire showed great military power, leading and annihilating 3,000 monks, and even a junior saint was defeated and fled.

Those classic battlefield videos have been widely disseminated throughout the galaxy.

One of the most famous passages is naturally the Athos Imperial War God Ling Tian, who relied on his own super strength in space to kill monks as easily as killing chickens and dogs, allowing people to see the power of genetic warriors for the first time.

In that battle, the Athos Empire established an unshakable position as the leader among the many empires in the galaxy, and no one dared to confront it in the entire Ayo Alliance.

And Ling Tian himself has also become the idol worship of all soldiers in scientific and technological civilization.

All of a sudden, those countries that were still secretive have publicly issued statements announcing the launch of the genetic warrior transformation project.

After more than a year of vigorous development, the total number of genetic warriors in various countries of scientific and technological civilization has exceeded 100,000, and there are more than 20,000 storm warriors in the second stage.

According to rumors, Ling Tian, the military god of the Athos Empire, seems to have crossed the threshold of the ninth order of the storm and become the first thunder warrior in the history of the galaxy.

In addition to the Athos Empire, several other empires that participated in the war last year also gained a lot, both in terms of national strength and status, and they faintly had a bit of a strong country.

There is one exception, and that is the Vesy Empire.

The Five Nations Alliance, the fleet sent by the Weixi Empire, is less than one-tenth of the number of other countries, and the model is old, if it is not really lucky, the monk army did not pass through the fifth space node, I am afraid that the two shabby fleets of the Weixi Empire will become the only one of the five empires to return with a heavy defeat.

But even if the Visy fleet survived, fate still played a small joke on them.

Zhang Tianjiu, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, the governor of Noray Star, and the rear admiral of the Weixi Empire, actually left the team without permission after the end of the war and did not follow him back, and has not been heard from since then, and disappeared mysteriously.

According to the speculation of the military of the Athos Empire, Zhang Tianjiu should have encountered the escaped saint monk on the way, and the result was naturally a shipwreck.

After the news broke, the Vesy Empire was in an uproar.

However, except for a very small number of regretful voices, more aristocratic high-level bigwigs are secretly clapping their hands.

Even Prince Gregory's plans to organize several large-scale space search missions were directly rejected by the parliament and the cabinet on the grounds that the financial resources were too high.

There is also continuous gossip that since Zhang Tianjiu's disappearance, the Gregory family has been declining, and even His Majesty the Emperor has been forced to abdicate early.
