Strictly speaking, Tang Jinglin doesn't know what his current situation is, whether he is reborn or crossed.

Originally, he was an ordinary middle-aged three-man man in China on the earth, except for a magical sleepwalking. But now I suddenly went back from 2020 to 2005, and I came to 15 years ago when I was 15 years old.

Age and appearance are still their own, and the names of the earth and hometown are right. Even his parents are still the same parents, but Tang Jinglin, who has fused his memory, knows that the world is no longer that world.

Historically, the secular history before the Ming Dynasty is similar, starting from Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He of this world went to the Western Ocean nine times, not only the first recorded completion of the circumnavigation voyage, but also completely opened the era of navigation colonization.

Now the world is divided into two camps, East and West, China dominates the East, in addition to the vast East Asia itself, there are India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and North America four major overseas territories, other countries in Asia and South America are also China's little brother, even the military and diplomatic power is controlled by China.

The Western camp is controlled by the European Union, which is a federation of dozens of European countries, led by Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, which not only controls Europe, but also controls Africa and Australia, and confronts and cooperates with China.

The main reason is that the two camps have mastered the technology of growing mushrooms that have destroyed the world a thousand times, even if Huaguo is stronger, it cannot act rashly, at most engage in some local small frictions, and no one dares to provoke a war.

What further subverts Tang Jinglin's worldview is that in the Chinese country of this world, Confucianism has never dominated the world, and at most it has united with Legalism and controlled the secular power for a long time. That's because all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought have extraordinary power, and under the conditions of productivity in ancient times, Confucianism could not compete with the Hundred Schools Alliance in terms of hard power in the cultivation world, but was suppressed.

Generally speaking, the Hundred Schools of Thought divide their power into the Manifest and Hidden Forces, with the former being mainly secular forces and the latter representing the transcendent power in the cultivation world. The two are inside and outside each other, and behind the powerful power of the visible vein, there must be the extraordinary power of the hidden vein.

After thousands of years of evolution, the 100 schools of thought mainly have the 10 veins of Taoism, Wumen, Momen, Buddhism, Miscellaneous, Confucianism, Legalism, Soldiers, Doctors, and Farmers, which is also the ranking of the top 10 schools of Zhuzi in the hidden veins. After absorbing the forces of the Yin and Yang family and the Fangshi, the Daomen is the well-deserved first hidden vein, and the cultivation world is the leader, among which Buddhism is the localization and improvement of foreign sects.

Originally, there was also a Zongheng family, and the power was not weak, but unfortunately, with the unification of the world into two major alliances, life was getting more and more difficult. Now, in addition to the diplomatic front, it can only make speeches or help enterprises and other companies to conduct various negotiations, and it needs to rely on other forces to survive, and it has fallen out of the top ten power rankings.

In the ranking of the Xianmai, the order is the Great Science Sect (Momen), Confucianism, Miscellaneous Family, Legalism, Military Family, Medical Family, Peasant Family, Taoist Family, Buddhism Gate, and Wumen.

Therefore, on the whole, the combination of Great Science + Momen is a well-deserved number one force in China.

Tang Jinglin is now subordinate to the Miscellaneous Hidden Bloodline, and the representative forces of the Miscellaneous Hidden Pulse are mainly merchant forces, so the comprehensive ranking is about the fourth, which is quite good.

It is different from all kinds of novels, the more you go to modern society, the more the cultivation world and supernatural power decline, and you enter the world of the end of the law.

After the great prosperity of this world civilization, the cultivation world is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no bullshit at all. Even if there is, it is also for heterogeneous cultivators such as demons and spirits.

The three sources of external force required for cultivation are: the power of the leylines (from the planet itself), the power of sentient beings (from human beliefs), and the power of the stars (from the extraterritorial stars).

For thousands of years, the power of the leylines and the power of the celestial stars have been continuously developed, and the theory has not subsided at all, and the total amount of the power of the leylines and the power of the celestial stars controlled by cultivators has been growing explosively, and the utilization efficiency is also constantly improving.

As for the mental power of sentient beings, as the total population grows, it also increases, so that the number of cultivators also increases.

It's just that in recent years, the cultivation world has fallen into a period of resource bottleneck, and the land and island resources have been almost occupied and exploited, and now they are vigorously exploiting the marine resources that occupy two-thirds of the earth.

However, whether it is the secular or the cultivation world, the manifest and hidden veins of the hundred schools of thought have reached a consensus, and everyone's future is in the starry sky of the universe.

The reason why it is said that the future of the cultivation world is in the starry sky of the universe is because whether it is the power of the leylines of other planets, or the expansion of population, or the power of the broader celestial stars, it needs to be obtained by opening interstellar colonization.

As a result, the resources of the secular and spiritual circles are now inclined to aerospace and space technology, and the visible and hidden veins are working together to start a space race with the Western world.

At present, China has built a giant space station in outer space and launched 28 manned spacecraft to the moon, and has considered establishing a biological base on the moon and at the same time considering launching a manned spacecraft to Mars.

In the process of going into space, the cultivator is the vanguard of the battle on the front line. Whether it is an astronaut or the first immigrants to establish a lunar base, they will be cultivators. With their extraordinary powers, they are better able to do these jobs than ordinary people, and their ability to survive is also stronger.

In fact, it's a lot like the Age of Discovery. In fact, before the advent of the Age of Discovery in the secular world, cultivators had already begun to travel to other continents and islands to enclose land.

Of course, as a street-fighting cultivator who hadn't even reached the first-level Qi refining period, Tang Jinglin's identity as the 368th generation of the Miscellaneous Family's Hidden Vein Descendant was actually a bit unworthy of his name.

The inheritance of the cultivation system of the hundred schools of thought, no matter which one, originated from the ancient qi refining system that evolved from the Hetu Luo book.

And the origin of the name of the Qi Refiner is precisely the first realm that originates from the transcendent power, which is called the Qi Refining Period. In the cultivation system of most of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Qi refining period is the official first cultivation realm, and it is also known as a first-level cultivator.

Tang Jinglin's predecessor, who came into contact with cultivation at the age of nine, has been 15 years old now, and is still strengthening his spirit by visualizing a Qinglian diagram, practicing a set of Songhe Longevity Fist to exercise his body, and he can't even feel the sense of qi, let alone refining qi.

Fortunately, Tang Jinglin was born with strong mental power, never forget, and was a genius of identification, as a businessman specializing in the trading of cultivators, he was still relatively qualified, and he could take his time in cultivation, as long as he could enter the Qi refining period before the age of 24.

Although the worry-free grocery store is called a grocery store, it also provides accommodation services for fellow practitioners of the hundreds of schools. So Wang Chengdao asked Tang Jinglin to arrange two rooms, and he quickly responded and took the two of them to the back door of the grocery store, where there is a three-story attic for accommodation.

After arranging the grandparents and grandchildren, other guests arrived one after another, after all, today is the first day of opening after the death of Tang Jinglin's grandfather, and the customers have to see what kind of person the new owner of the worry-free grocery store is, and then decide whether to continue to cooperate.

To put it bluntly, it is to test Tang Jinglin's character and ability.
