Chapter 20: The Metal Planet
Life is full of variables. Fate is something that people often talk about, but it is elusive.
But there are some people who can see through the fate of others and calculate the future. They grasp the truth and grasp the truth, which is unfathomable in the eyes of the world, like gods in the world.
In the past, He Yi knew Liu Shangxuan and Luomei Daochang, and they were the unfathomable existence in his heart. And now that I think about it, he seems to be playing the role of a living god when he was in the stars. However, what he did was not so perfect in the end, leaving an innocent girl with an incurable psychological wound.
Jiang Cen is dead, and it can no longer be recovered.
Although He Yi has regrets, he does not regret them. More than 60 years of sitting has made him understand many things. Fish and birds spend their entire lives repeating the same life, until death. And people are the same, although people are more intelligent than fish and birds, but after all, only a few people will look up at the sky and find another way of life in this world.
He saved Jiang Cen's life and gave her a chance to choose. And she finally gave up becoming a powerful immortal cultivator, the reason was that she didn't like the way he gave her, and what he gave her was not what she wanted the most.
She jumped out of ordinary life, but she did not step into the extraordinary world. Despite this, He Yi thinks that she is the freest person, at least, she has her own choices and sticks to it all her life.
It's a pity that this thing, except for saints, should have it. Although she passed away with regrets, she was only one of the many regrets in the world, and in this regard, she was not more pitiful than ordinary people.
Fate is difficult to grasp, he became a god, guiding Jiang Cen, Liu Qingshan, and Xu Lin, the three flying birds, out of their original orbits, but he couldn't see his fate and didn't know where his sky was.
Maybe time will give him the answer. Or perhaps, even if it is thousands of years, he is still him, and he can't see through it.
How many sentient beings in this world can really jump out of the trajectory of fate? Perhaps the so-called jumping out is precisely the original intention of fate.
There are so many strong people, but even if they are immortals, they are just stronger people. Like a pan of snow, like Chang Li, like the Five Thunder Venerables, and like a cloud. They live in this world, and they have many shackles, and they can't become saints after all. is Daozun Liu Shangxuan, who is also taking care of the spiritual void, and cannot be truly extraordinary.
Those who can see through life and destiny may have. But the only reason why wise men are wise is because they have lived long enough and seen enough. There are no three-year-old saints, and there are no fools in the immortals. Time, after all, is the most fundamental means of creation.
Walking alone in the starry sky of the universe, he walked more than 10,000 miles away every few steps. Although this is insignificant to the entire starry sky, it adds up to a lot, and the daily journey down is extremely long.
Compared to the beginning of his exile, his mind has changed greatly after more than 60 years of dry sitting. At this time, repeating the process of decades ago, although it was all the same boring, he began to get used to it, and even understood the laws of observing the movement of the stars while walking, and the magical force field that the stars attracted to each other.
Gravity is one of the most fundamental forces in the universe. The vast majority of living beings live in a gravitational world, and the star world itself is formed by the root of gravity. The power of the black hole he possesses is a gravitational enhancement mode, and once he cultivates to a high depth, he will have extremely terrifying magical powers.
Now that he has reached the realm of knowing the micro, his mental strength has been divided into tens of millions, and He Yi can already be multitasking. Since the beginning of another wandering, he has been using only half of his mental strength to perform the Seven-Step Immortal Ascending Technique, while the rest of his consciousness has sometimes visualized the black hole devouring the picture in the Heavenly Strategy, or looked at the starry sky around him to compare the changes in gravity.
In the past, he only knew how to use the power of the black hole, but those powers were all given to him by Tianyance, and he didn't have the slightest understanding at all. Now that the stars are wandering, I gradually see the trajectory of many stars, but I really come into contact with that mysterious power, and begin to understand the essence of those powers.
Some people say that any two objects in the world will have a force field for each other, either attracting each other or repelling each other. It's just that some objects are large, such as stars, while others are small, such as duckweed. Depending on the size, there is naturally a difference in the gravitational force emitted and the magnitude affected by the gravitational force.
The moon revolves around the earth, and the earth revolves around the sun, which is a strong field in the cosmic starry sky. From a microscopic point of view, there are countless molecular atoms in the body cells that cannot be seen by the naked eye. When He Yi was in middle school, he also saw a schematic diagram of the atomic structure, and the appearance of the orbit once made him feel quite similar to a galaxy. Looking at the starry sky now, although there is a big difference in general, there is one thing in common with the force fields that attract each other.
As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and the road he took in the starry sky was not just 10,000 miles. Over the years, he has visited hundreds of planets, and he has seen countless interesting substances.
After leaving a pile of materials in Cangmingxing, only three star sand and a small star crystal fragment were left in his Sumeru ring. These two things were the most precious things he got on the way, and their value was comparable to that of immortal treasures. It's not that he didn't see it, it's just that it's too dangerous, and he doesn't dare to take it.
During this journey, He Yi encountered some good things again, such as on a barren planet that emitted a thin blue gas all over his body, he collected a fist-sized dark blue colloidal object. He had never seen it, but the misty power it exuded made him drowsy, and it was not something ordinary, so that it could be included in his bag.
In addition to the materials, there is something interesting on his body, which is the product of the Star Refining Furnace.
In the battle in Taigu City that year, he used the Star Refining Furnace to absorb the qi waves and wind and fire power of Danjun and Chang Li, as well as the Dan Qi emitted by Qi Huangding later. Those forces were particularly powerful, and his cultivation was not high, and it took nearly ten years for the Star Refining Furnace to complete the alchemy. However, he was still traveling alone at that time, and later he went to Cangming Star, so he never used it, and until now he is still in the Dan bottle.
He didn't know exactly how strong the aftermath of the mana of the Yin Yang Realm and the Life and Death Realm immortals was, but the time spent refining the Star Furnace was enough to explain everything. These things, he himself will never dare to try them randomly, if the entrance turns into a double dragon of wind and fire, it will really be broken.
In his spare time when he was contemplating the power of the black hole, He Yi had also checked those pills with his heart, and faintly felt that there seemed to be a feeling similar to a jade rune, but it was only because it was too rare that he didn't dare to test it casually.
The universe is long, and another three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
With the speed at which he walked, he had crossed hundreds of billions of miles in three years, and if he measured it with a ruler, he would not be able to measure it in a lifetime.
On this day, he was on the outskirts of a star system. Although it was billions of miles away, the light of the star was still extremely bright, like a small light bulb in the deep starry sky, much more brilliant than the surrounding stars.
After more than three hundred steps towards the star, the first planet came into his field of vision.
It was a gray-black planet, not very large, about three or four thousand miles in diameter. There was nothing brilliant about this planet, and he lost the desire to go up and explore. After all, he had seen a hundred and eighty planets like this, to say the least.
It took him thousands of steps to find the second planet. This one, compared to the one that is much larger, has a diameter of less than 100,000 miles, and the whole body is pale yellow, looking at it from millions of miles, it looks like a round pill, and there are two circles of "Dan Qi" wrapped around it.
"Probably the surface is full of gas, so it's better not to go. Muttering to himself, He Yi shook his head and continued to explore the interior of the galaxy.
He had eaten the loss of the gas planet, and he was not interested in tasting it a second time at all.
"One thousand nine hundred and eighty-five, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-......" counted his steps, and he mentally calculated, trying to calculate the location of the next planet based on the little gravitational insight he had learned from the power of the black hole.
But unfortunately, the planet itself runs in circles, and it is difficult for him to bump into them all when he comes in from one direction. What's more, if the distance is so easy to calculate, there will not be so few scientists on the planet.
Mathematics and physics are not things that He Yi is good at, and Rao has a slight understanding of gravity, but it is still far behind.
"Eight thousand one hundred and five, eight thousand one hundred and ten. ”
Stopping, the third planet was already clearly visible to him. From a distance of 1.5 million miles, he could see a medium-sized planet with a metallic surface in front of him. The planet has no moons, is about 20,000 miles in diameter, and the side illuminated by the star is very dazzling, apparently due to the smooth surface.
"I should have missed a planet, and this could be the fourth in the count. But...... It's still more than a thousand steps off from my calculations......"
Quietly despised himself, He Yi moved his footsteps and continued to walk towards the metal planet. There might be some weird treasures on this metal planet, and it's not fun to wander around all day anyway, so it's better to dig something up, and maybe change something later. As a Zhiwei monk, he can't refine pills and refining weapons, and he doesn't know how many times poorer than ordinary immortals. If it weren't for the pill sent by Chang Le, it is estimated that he would not even be able to afford the pill!
And after three or two hundred years, those pills may begin to slowly reduce their effectiveness. After that, he had to support himself.
Hundreds of steps forward, he was already in the gravitational circle of the planet, and he needed to rely on his own strength to float. As he got closer, he suddenly had a vague sense of unease.
Zhiwei Monk's intuition is usually not groundless, He Yi frowned, flying close to the metal planet.
Two hundred miles away, the feeling of uneasiness is still there.
A hundred miles away, the mental strength finally touched the surface of the planet. He moved some distance closer, scanning the surface but finding nothing out of the ordinary.
Perceiving extreme vigilance, he landed for dozens of miles, floating less than 10,000 feet from the surface of the planet. The mind continued to scan, and even penetrated into the ground to check the situation. However, because of the obstruction of the metal surface, he could only barely penetrate four or five hundred feet.
Without noticing the abnormality, He Yi lowered his altitude again, penetrated his mental power to a depth of 1,200 zhang underground, and then began to fly slowly along the surface.
The feeling of uneasiness was still there, although not very strong, but it had made him feel somewhat bored. But after all, he was just uneasy, and there was no strong sense of crisis, and the guess shouldn't be too scary, so he wanted to find out what was going on!
The flight speed is naturally not very fast in the case of looking for anomalies. He flew along the undulating, but generally smooth, metal surface, and after about a quarter of an hour, he suddenly noticed something unusual!
As he expected, there was really nothing strange about the smooth surface, and what was wrong was underground!
Nine hundred feet below the surface of the planet, which was entirely metallic and copper-colored, he suddenly found a gap!
The space from 900 zhang to 1,200 zhang deep was completely empty! Everything else was intact, except for the vacancy, which was obviously something similar to a hole in the ground.
"It can't be an underground world, right?" He Yi secretly said strangely, lowered his height again, and stood directly out of thin air less than a thousand feet from the ground.
Shrouded in mental strength, this time it penetrated directly to a depth of 1,500 zhang underground. The underground scene he saw was empty and very strange! Even those gaps, where the mental strength weakened and decreased, allowed him to probe more than 2,000 zhang deep, and he was still in the hollow range, and he couldn't see anything.
At a depth of 1,500 zhang underground, the hollow place was no longer the little place he had found, and it was completely empty within a dozen miles of mental power!
"It can't really be the underworld, right?"
With a secret thought, he simply lowered the altitude to 100 zhang, and his mental strength penetrated to a depth of nearly 1,600 zhang, and began to fly close to the ground.
If it's really the Underworld, there must be an entrance!
This time, his exploration was a little slower. In the course of his exploration, he saw many hollows underground, but there were also many more places, all of which were thick metal worlds.
He Yi began to draw a pattern in his mind, and as the time of exploration increased, the pattern gradually became complete and clear.
"I see. He smiled, amused by his discovery.
The metal planet beneath his feet was a semi-hollow sphere! Its surface was metal, but part of it was empty! As for how deep the void was, it was not for him to explore.
He flew around the planet from east to west, but did not find an entrance to the underground. It can be guessed that there will probably be no life on this planet, because there is no sunlight underground, and it is difficult for ordinary creatures to survive. And if it is the temperature of the earth fire, it is too high, and the metal itself may melt away, not to mention life. And most importantly, he found no traces of water and soil. Unless you are born with a life above the golden pill stage, you will not be able to reproduce here at all.
"The shallowest part is also 500 zhang, and it is a bit difficult to open a hole. Forget it, let's look for it again. ”
He Yi whispered to himself and continued to fly along the metal surface. He was very curious about what it looked like under the hollow. And that feeling of uneasiness also made him want to find out the reason.
Having experienced a lonely journey through the universe, he has long been accustomed to the boring action of constantly moving, so although it is very boring to find an entrance, he can still persevere.
Searching for no direction, he flew around like a headless ant. It wasn't until the third day that a shallow gap appeared in his mental perception!
Dig down and see!
Hooking the corners of his mouth, he pulled out the wood knife on his back, and was about to swing the ground with his hand.
At this moment, the mental power that spread to a depth of 5,000 zhang through the hundred-zhang metal suddenly captured a living form!
[The gravitational range of a star system is usually more than 1 light year, but the novel has been slightly adjusted and narrowed down to about 10 billion miles, don't be surprised.] 】
