Chapter 499 Spirit Money Hegemony, Crossing Five Tribulations in a Row
In the research records of that Qianxuan Sanxian, there was a clear record.
That is, countless billions of years ago, after the end of the war that affected many cultivation worlds and lasted for an unknown number of years.
It was only after completely defeating the other side of the strange realm group, and then completely annexing the other side's tens of millions of new worlds, that the magnificent scene of the 'billions of heavens' was truly laid.
And the core of the realm group that ended the war and achieved complete victory, the Gemiao World, also took a fancy to and chose the Heavenly Marrow after this, and became a substitute for Immortal Mo.
Subsequently, under the will of the Yuan Mo Venerable, the Ge Miao World used various domineering means to force all the cultivation worlds rich in Heavenly Marrow in the realm group to sign many treaties and agreements with them.
The content of the treaty is that the trade of the heavenly marrow between hundreds of millions of realms must be settled in spirit money.
In this way, the world of Ge Miao once again established the hegemony of the spirit banknote.
And this time, the hegemony established on the basis of the Heavenly Essence is far more stable and terrifying than the Immortal Ink hegemony.
Because any cultivation world, whether it has developed to the Void Age or not, whether there are a large number of Void Ancient Ships or not, will inevitably have a great demand for the Heavenly Marrow.
However, the Heavenly Marrow, a spiritual material, is not produced in all worlds, or the yield is uncertain.
For example, Qianxuan is a world with relatively small production of heavenly marrow.
Basically, more than half of its Heavenly Marrow needs to be imported from the Yunheng World at a high price in order to maintain the normal construction and operation of a large number of teleportation arrays and portals in many regions of the realm.
As for the five major factions that mastered the only import and export channel of Qianxuan, they also gained huge benefits from it.
This interest contains a large number of spiritual money, spiritual materials and spiritual plants and other physical objects, as well as the influence and control of many medium and large sects, organizations, and forces that rely on the Heavenly Marrow.
The reason why the five major factions were able to firmly occupy the ruling stratum of Qianxuan also had a certain degree of relationship with this.
In short, it is similar to the Qianxuan World, no matter which side of the Cultivation World, as long as it is not in the kind of barbaric stage that has not yet developed, it will inevitably be inseparable from the Heavenly Marrow.
As a result, the billions of worlds in the Hanyuan Realm Group could no longer get rid of the shackles of the interboundary currency of the spirit banknote.
Since then, the Pavilion World has begun to print a large number of spiritual banknotes to buy goods from other worlds.
In order to survive on its own, hundreds of millions of worlds can only continue to increase their foreign exchange reserves.
However, these also require the realms to exchange a large number of their own magic weapon arrays, spirit ore spirit plants, and even magic exercises and other practical resources to obtain them.
And this is also in the hands of the world of Ge Miao.
Because as long as there is a place where the spirit money is circulated and used, they have seigniorage revenue.
So what is seigniorage?
In simple terms, seigniorage is the difference between the face value of a banknote and the cost of producing it.
For example, the cost of a 10,000-dollar spiritual banknote is only one yuan.
The difference is 9,999 yuan, which is seigniorage.
This kind of is quite small.
Like some super-large denomination of spiritual bills, such as a trillion yuan.
The cost is still not more than a dollar, but the difference is ...... But it has reached nearly a trillion yuan.
This is also seigniorage.
It is a huge amount of income that is being obtained in the world all the time.
Correspondingly, the billions of cultivation worlds will also rely on various ways to obtain, or earn spirit money to buy the heavenly marrow.
But what about the excess?
If it is allowed to flow into the realm, it will cause inflation in the realm, which will then destabilize the entire economic system and even the ruling system.
Therefore, the worlds can only choose to buy all kinds of futures, options, and even bonds and other illusory financial products in the Emian World, so that the spiritual money will continue to flow back into the Emian World.
The Pavilion Miao World will use these spirit money to buy a large amount of resources from hundreds of millions of worlds.
There is no need to print too many banknotes, just use low-value paper to make them
With a steady stream of buying resources from other worlds, a stable reflux system will eventually be formed.
In other words, hundreds of millions of worlds were forced to be tied to the chariot of spirit money by the Pavilion Miao World or by the Yuan Mo Master.
When the money falls, the world falls.
The spirit money is stable, and the world is stable.
Interests are linked, and it is difficult to inseparate.
The Emiao World, which is not engaged in production, makes money empty-handed, and just through the hegemony of spiritual money, it can easily control the economic lifeline of hundreds of millions of immeasurable beings in the world.
As long as the trade circulation of all walks of life is inseparable from the spirit banknote, the world can control interest rate cuts and interest rate increases, and can harvest the wool of all walks of life at will, and harvest the flesh and blood of all walks of life at will.
To sum up, this series of means in the world is obviously more convenient and faster than direct robbery than direct plunder, and it is also more worry-free and effort-saving.
As long as the invincible Yuan Mo Master always existed, then he didn't have to do anything at all, and he didn't need to bother at all.
At every moment, there would naturally be a steady stream of countless resources from the hundreds of millions of cultivation worlds to the pavilion world, allowing him to enjoy and squander.
"It's really a hassle-free and effort-saving method of exploitation, but it's ......."
Chen Sanyu smiled lightly, "It's not for me."
Although the Ancient Cluster is biased towards idealism, it is not true pure idealism in the end.
Therefore, almost all the monks in this realm are still extremely dependent on all kinds of external resources in their cultivation paths and daily lives.
But Chen Sanyu is different.
His cultivation and progress did not require too many resources.
Even if he meditated or wandered around every day, without any interaction with the aura and resources of the outside world, Chen Sanyu's cultivation would skyrocket out of thin air.
The only thing he needs in the outside world now is the growth of the Dao brought about by the loan and cultivation of sentient beings, and the information of the rules that he can exchange from the Heavenly Dao with his merits.
And now the first demand, the growth of Taoism, is also nearing the end.
Yes, after nearly half an hour, Chen Sanyu is finally about to set foot at the peak of Hedao.
"One, two, three......"
He was silent in his heart for tens of seconds:
「…… Ten."
With the 'full support' of the immeasurable beings in the entire Qianxuan World, Chen Sanyu's realm suddenly reached the pinnacle of the Convergence Dao without a word.
Immediately after, all of his terrifying power of the quadrillion-fold peak level of the Merge Dao was unsealed.
Boom –
In an instant, all the phenomena, the universe, and the changes and flows of yin and yang within a radius of billions of miles were all included in Chen Sanyu's perception and control.
At this moment, as long as he thought about it, this entire vast Qianxuan world, which contained hundreds of millions of regions and infinite beings, would be reduced to nothing in an instant, or distorted beyond recognition.
At the same time, Chen Sanyu was also blessed with the realization of the ...... It only takes ten breaths for the catastrophe to come.
If you can't survive the catastrophe, everything will be over;
If you survive the tribulation, you will ascend to the upper realm.
"Are you so impatient...... Heavenly Dao."
He slowly looked up at the boundless sky and smiled playfully, "You want me to soar and then collect my debts?
Hehe, it's delusional, I just don't fly."
It stands to reason that after a monk reaches the pinnacle of the Path of Harmony, he will have to wait at least another thousand years or even longer before there will be a harbinger of a catastrophe.
But Chen Sanyu is good.
As soon as he stepped into the pinnacle of Hedao, Tiandao was impatient to descend the catastrophe and wanted to settle the large debt with him.
In this regard, Chen Sanyu was unwilling.
Because he himself didn't know how much wool he had picked up from the Heavenly Dao.
He just knew that this debt must be extremely huge, so huge that even if he squeezed all the immeasurable beings of the entire Qianxuan World into juice, he would be far from being able to repay it.
"Since you can't afford it now, let's talk about it later, and put it on hold."
Chen Sanyu's expression was relaxed, and he immediately began to cultivate Nasan
Immortals avoid robbery, and plan to specialize in the way of scattering immortals.
Set a small goal, cultivate to a hundred eons and then ascend.
Hundred Tribulations Scattered Immortals, how can you step on the top earth immortals as insects.
Thinking leisurely, Chen Sanyu used only one ten-thousandth of a breath time to comprehend the method of cultivating scattered immortals for thousands of years for those who were at the peak of the path, and understood it thoroughly.
After another breathing time, Chen Sanyu's body and spirit underwent various subtle changes.
He officially became a scattered immortal.
ClickClick!!
At the end of the gray and boundless sky, Huo Ran shook the sky with thunder bursts, as if there was an infinite earth-shaking thunder ready to start, about to split.
At the same time, there were hundreds of millions of roaring and tumbling strange black winds that were both majestic and thick and swaying like primeval snakes, as well as the gray turbid scorching tide that was like a demon whisker in the eclipse realm appeared out of thin air, blowing and scorching towards Chen Sanyu from all directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
This is the Heavenly Punishment of the Resident World.
According to normal speaking, under normal circumstances, after a peak saint turns to cultivate and scatter immortals, he must at least advance his own cultivation to a thousand times before he will usher in his first Heavenly Punishment in the world.
However, Chen Sanyu is not an ordinary situation.
His cultivation level has far surpassed the trillions of times of the Tribulation Scattered Immortals.
Therefore, as soon as Chen Sanyu turned into a scattered immortal, he ushered in his first heavenly punishment in the world.
According to the memories of the immortals of Qianxuan, the so-called Heavenly Punishment and Ascension Tribulation are actually the same in form and content.
All contain three disasters and three tribulations.
This first calamity, the thunder calamity, refers to the Ninety-Nine Universe Xuanlei.
This thunder comes from the unclear realm in the depths of time and space in this universe, and it is a partial manifestation of the path of creation.
Once a robber appears, this thunderbolt will cross the boundless distance between the sutras under the will of the Heavenly Dao, and appear somewhere above, in front, behind, below, and so on.
And after gathering into a violent thunder sea, it slashed at the robbers nine hundred and eighty-one in a row, each of which could evaporate hundreds of thousands of galaxies.
If you can withstand it, you can be regarded as having passed this test, and you can use it to strengthen your body and condense the true essence of mana.
If you can't stand it, then you will be cut off, and everything will be lost.
This second calamity, fire, refers to the Yin Fire of the Nine Shades of Yellow Springs.
This fire is not an extraordinary fire, but a Yellow Spring Yin Fire that comes from the dark side of the universe in this place, and is a partial manifestation of the Netherworld Dao.
It can ignore defenses and burn into the body, penetrate the limbs to refine the soul, and burn the internal organs.
Therefore, as long as the yin fire is burned, if the limbs and five organs of the robbed person are not deeply tempered, they will be burned into pieces of decay in an instant, and hundreds of millions of years of hard work will become illusory.
The third disaster, the wind disaster, refers to the wind of the dust industry.
The wind calamity is also an extraordinary wind, but a wind that blows from the depths of the hearts of immeasurable beings in the infinite universe of humane good and evil, and is a partial manifestation of the spiritual path.
Therefore, this wind can also ignore the various physical defenses of the robbers, penetrate the nine orifices through the dantian, blow away the three souls and scatter the seven spirits, make people's hearts fail and the body is exhausted, and finally the flesh and bones are thinned, and the original spirit disintegrates.
In addition to these three calamities, there are also trilemmas that do not appear in physical form.
The first difficulty is the separation of the qi method.
Under the influence of this invisible difficulty, if the true element mana of the robbed person is not condensed enough, it will be disordered and out of control to varying degrees when it is operating.
The second difficulty is false and evil thoughts.
Under the influence of this difficulty, when the victim of the robbery crosses the tribulation, all kinds of false and evil thoughts will appear in his mind, and his mental consciousness will be greatly disturbed.
The third difficulty is that the true self is untrue.
This difficulty is the most sinister and evil difficulty, and under its influence, the victim will experience the reincarnation of thousands of lives and thousands of lives in a single thought.
If their minds are mediocre and their minds are weak, they may become 'lost' in a trance.
As a result, the robbed person completely forgot everything in reality, and was killed by the thunder in ignorance
Burned to death by fire, blown to death by the wind.
However, this kind of calamity, which can only be matched by a thousand times the peak level of the Merge Dao in terms of strength, is meaningless to Chen Sanyu.
So in the face of the boundless thunder, yin fire, and wind that attacked from all directions, he just stood up leisurely and opened his mouth slowly.
Wow –
In an instant, a huge and boundless Heavenly Giant Mouth suddenly appeared between the heavens and the earth, and at the first moment it appeared, it engulfed the three calamities of heavenly punishment that swept through the boundless sky and the vast earth, and was terrifying enough to destroy thousands of domains.
After that, Chen Sanyu grunted and swallowed his stomach with a flat face.
As for the invisible trilemma that directly points to mana, mind, and will, for Chen Sanyu, who is essentially a projection of Mu Cang's divinity, it is as weak as nothing.
After the three calamities disappeared, they naturally disappeared at the same time.
And after surviving this catastrophe, his physical strength and mana condensation suddenly skyrocketed by as much as a thousand times.
But at the same time, Chen Sanyu's move seemed to anger the Heavenly Dao.
As soon as he swallowed the Heavenly Punishment, the boundless heavenly dome above the entire Qianxuan World suddenly shook violently.
Boom Boom Boom Boom –
Along with this tremendous movement that shocked and stunned the immeasurable beings of the hundreds of millions of regions, there was a terrifying thunder sea that exploded blue and purple one after another, and the overwhelming tide of yin fire one after another, and hundreds of millions of shares and billions of dragons as black as purgatory, appeared out of thin air in the boundless sky above all the domains inside and outside the Qianxuan world.
This is the second Resident Heavenly Punishment, the third Resident Heavenly Punishment, the fourth Resident Heavenly Punishment, and the fifth Resident Heavenly Punishment...... It's coming.
In an instant, the aura of destruction that was so vast and boundless that it was so thick that the heavens and the earth were suffocated covered all corners of the Qianxuan World and all the living beings in hundreds of millions of regions.
The immeasurable beings who have fallen into boundless despair are inexplicably aware that if these calamities befall Qianxuan, they will surely turn this realm into powder.
Just when countless trillions of sentient beings were in deep despair, Chen Sanyu struck again.
He hung in the vast sky, one hand behind his back, the other leisurely raised.
The two fingers in the food were pointed together as a sword, and he pointed at the endless rolling thunder and surging yin fire and roaring wind in the distant sky, and said coldly:
"Follow the Seven Swords of Heaven - Rotation of Life and Death."
Buzz –
In an instant, the vast Qianxuan World with a radius of billions of billions of miles, as well as the fourfold heavenly punishment that enveloped the entire Qianxuan Billions of Domains Heaven and Earth, were silent.
It's like time has stopped moving forward here.
After that, the infinite sea of thunder, the tide of fire, and the wind swarmed and collapsed and disappeared.
And Chen Sanyu also crossed several realms at the same moment, stopping at the level of the Five Tribulations Scattered Immortals.
