The number of Yang City cultivators has increased again.

At night, when Lin Tuo confirmed this through the sand table, there was no fluctuation in his heart.

This is the way it should be.

As early as a few days ago, he had already guessed that as the number of breath cultivators continued to rise, and the attention involved in the events in the oasis and the Pacific Ocean faded, the value of the Qi Eating Method would definitely be valued.

The question is only how the upper echelons perceive it.

Now, the results are in.

The opening of the school curriculum is an unusually clear signal, according to experience, the pilot of this thing, once successful, will usher in a national rollout.

Of course, it will take a little time.

As for why the student group was selected as the pilot, according to Lin Tuo's conjecture, first, it is convenient for data collection and management, and second, the data he obtained from the sand table observation shows that the young student group has far more advantages in cultivation than the rest of the age groups.

"It's this slim gym...... Could it be that the state already knows that exercising the body can speed up the absorption of the ether? ”

Lin Tuo thought secretly and decided to observe for a while.

In addition, an interesting finding is that there is almost no movement on the Internet about the news about the Yangcheng pilot.

In addition to some local group chats in Yangcheng, there are discussions in the community.

The outside world, major social media, platforms, and collective silence are as if they are deliberately blocking news.

……

……

In the next few days, Lin Tuo's life was very regular, Huaxi was already familiar with boxing, and Lin Tuo began to teach her some skills step by step.

The study of the magic books progressed steadily, and through it, he gained a clearer understanding of how the power of the aether was used, as well as the underlying principles.

This unexpectedly made his control of the Warrior Fist much more refined.

On the Internet, there is still not much news about cultivation, but in Yangcheng, it has become a common practice, and occasionally when you go to the park, you can see many people meditating collectively.

The daily greeting has also evolved from "have you eaten" to "have you cultivated".

Compared with the "calm" of reality, in the sand table, it is changing with each passing day.

……

"The human race is expanding." Early in the morning, when Lin Tuo came to the sand table and leaned down, he saw that on the north and south continents, the sphere of influence of human beings was further expanded.

Originally, although the Delai Kingdom and the rest of the large and small countries had gained a firm foothold, there were still a large number of places on this continent that had not been explored.

Especially remote mountains, forests, river valleys...... If the plains belong to humans, then the vast forests are the paradise of "monsters".

As humans evolved, mutated beasts that had been transferred to the past were also multiplying.

"Whew." Gently blowing away the clouds floating above the sand table, Lin Tuo's gaze swept over the mountains and rivers, and visible to the naked eye, the area of several forests ruled by demonic beasts began to shrink.

The size of human cities is growing.

Of course, eternal wars are inevitable in the process.

When Lin Tuo observed for a short time, he saw the territory of the Delai Kingdom full of gunsmoke and war.

I opened the run log, flipped through it, and as expected:

【World Derivation Element...... In the same year, the headquarters of the church of the kingdom of Delai collapsed, and the religious power fell to the bottom, and the then king issued thirteen decrees in a month to rebuild the church and weaken the power of the church, and the countries of the northern continent followed one after another...... As a result, the clerical power was reduced to a vassal of the royal power in name only......]

[However, the rise and fall of the dynasty has its own certainty, and the return of the clergy has created the last glory of the Delai Kingdom, and since then, the old king has become increasingly dim, the court is chaotic, the local lords have risen, and the outside countries are around]

[After the reign of the contemporary king for 38 years, he suddenly suffered from illness and died overnight, the civil turmoil, the duke of the south became self-reliant and proclaimed himself a principality, and in the second year, the dukes of the east and north joined forces to rebel and attack the royal capital, and the civil war began, only in May, the royal family was buried in the sea of fire, and the kingdom of Delai disintegrated]

[But the war did not end there, the collapse of the old dynasty meant the birth of a new dynasty, and in the next eleven years, the northern continent was in turmoil, and the kingdoms and principalities of all sizes were annexed to each other]

[In the process, the power of the wizard gradually weakened, and the reduction of natural innate ability finally made this force completely withdraw from the stage of history, and was replaced by a transcendent force based on cultivation and the development of spells into branches and leaves]

[And at the same time as the human wizards dissipated, in the distant ocean, the group of sea tribes who had gained cultivation ability was expanding rapidly]

[At the same time, the original chaos, the lack of a unified regime, the southern continent with many families began a series of changes, the ancient floating apocalyptic descendants, inherited the "ancient surname" of the rise of the Dingnan Li family, the then head of the family called himself the king of Dingnan, eighteen years, swept the southern continent, established a unified regime, controlled the north-south trade, and opened the treaty port...... The population of the southern continent is expanding rapidly.

……

[At the time of the change of political power in the north and south continents, between the two continents, the Jiudalian Island region, where extraordinary strength is scarce, navigation and shipbuilding technology is developing rapidly, human interest in the sea is increasing day by day, and the group of adventurers is blowing out, and one after another exploration ships are going deep into the ocean with the support of local consortiums, expanding nautical charts, and looking for islands and products...... The Age of Discovery begins]

……

Away from the mountain, in the study.

In the early morning, the sun was just right, and Lin Tuo looked at the latest piece of information about the "Age of Discovery" at the end of the operation log, and was silent.

When he set his eyes on the nine islands, the "zoom" function was turned on, and the entire sand table continent quickly stretched out, with nine large islands as the skeleton, hundreds of small islands were scattered and scattered, and the area of the north-south axis suddenly became clear.

Lin Tuo looked at the large ports, under the effect of time acceleration, like a time-lapse photography, one cargo ship after another entered the port, and the dense dock workers worked day and night, like hard-working worker ants, and similarly, there were also large ships, fearless to the depths of the ocean.

Many of them deviated from course, encountered storms, reefs and sank.

Others turn back to land before they run out of supplies.

However, the overall trend is getting deeper and deeper, approaching the "boundary" of the sandbox.

"Sure enough...... When technology reaches this stage, it is inevitable to explore the world. Lin Tuo overlooked a ship that was the "fastest" and closest to the border.

With time accelerating, Lin Tuo wasn't sure how long it had been sailing, but it was already an extremely rare thing for him to be able to observe it on a macroscopic scale.

Without paying attention, he has already driven to the depths of the stormy sea, and is about to reach the end of the world.

"No, something has to be done...... At the very least, delay their discovery of the sandbox boundary. With the experience of the No. 1 sandbox, Lin Tuo did not dare to be careless about it.

After thinking about it, he slowly leaned over and blew hard towards the edge of the sandbox, the area of the isolation hood.

Because there is no shutdown time acceleration, this breath is inside the sand table, enough to set off a storm that lasts for years, decades.

……

……

Deep in the Pacific Ocean, huge black boxes are calmly embedded in the earth's surface, obscuring the sea and sealing off large areas under the ocean.

It was so quiet that it was as silent as the surrounding islands, which had existed for thousands, tens of thousands, or more.

However, just inside the location of the black box facing east.

On the boundless ocean, there is a storm-beaten ship, unswervingly moving towards the "border".

……

"Boom!"

The climate on the oceans is always strange and changeable, especially in the stormy sea.

One second it may be a clear sky, and the next second, it will be cloudy.

At this moment, the sky is full of dark clouds, on the sea, the wind is raging, the electric snake is flickering, the surging waves are rolling, and between the heaven and the earth, it is dark, as if even the sea water has become gray mud.

On the sea, a stormy ship is shaking violently with the waves.

Its masts had all been lowered to minimize the effects of the wind, and only the nautical lights fixed to the roof of the cabin released the last glimmer of light.

On the deck, the first mate secured himself with a rope, grabbed the handrail, and looked terrified:

"Captain! It looks like a hurricane belt ahead! ”

"No, the climate in this sea is too weird!"

"If you keep sailing, it's too dangerous!"

Those who can support this place are all experienced crews, and along the way, they have encountered dangerous scenes countless times, however, feeling the unusually violent storm in the sea ahead, Rao is them, and they are also afraid.

Return!

Must return!

Further on, their ship could well be torn to shreds by a hurricane!

However, the "captain" standing at the front only held the fence with one hand, his body fixed like a nail, and in his right hand, he pressed a monocular against the sunken eye socket.

Through the lens tube, he could clearly see the huge tornado that stretched across the entire sea between the gray sky and the earth in front of him.

They came from nowhere, like mountains that are difficult to climb, completely blocking the road ahead.

Even the mighty transcendents would not be able to move forward in such an environment.

Crucially, according to his observations, the storm belt does not seem to be accidental, but persistent, day and night, and covers a wide area.

There is no possibility of bypassing it at all.

"Just go back?" Standing in the wind and waves, the captain didn't seem to hear the roar of thunder, couldn't hear the shouts of his subordinates behind him, and only had this one thought in his heart.

As the most "crazy", bravest, and most experienced and adventurous navigator of Jiudalian, he has a paranoia that ordinary people cannot understand when it comes to exploring the world.

Over the decades, he has tried to go to sea a total of five times, the first four of which were accidents and forced to interrupt in the middle of the journey.

Now, he is over fifty years old, and even if he has been practicing since he was a child, his body is stronger than ordinary people, but the hidden diseases accumulated on his body are almost impossible to suppress.

It can be said that this was his last voyage.

Once you give up, there is no hope.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man silently put down the binoculars, and then said, "Go on!" ”

"What? Captain, you ......"

"I say, go on!"

In the silence, I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how many psychological struggles they had experienced, these henchmen were silent, with the determination to see death as home, silently adjusted the ship, and sailed straight ahead.

"Click!"

Just as the ship had barely advanced a few hundred meters, the old ship was finally overwhelmed, torn apart by the two waves, cracking, and breaking into countless planks.

The dozen or so people left on the boat also screamed in surprise and fell into the ocean.

"Are you going to die......"

The same thought arose in their hearts, and the next second, a long, gentle, like the song of the sea lapping on the beach, echoed in their ears.
