Chapter 680: Chapter 581: Ultra-modern Xianxia Style Qinglian World [Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Thus, for a good half of the day, the discussions in the Great Hall had not stopped.

The responsibilities of each representative master and saint master were roughly sorted out to Wang Zijia one by one.

Thanks to the meeting and the information provided by the statues’ artificial intelligence, Wang Zijia had a thorough understanding of the Qinglian Realm’s current state.

Honestly, he hadn’t expected that, in four hundred years, Qinglian Realm would transition from the era of the Immortal Sect Tribe through feudalism and democracy, to the era of artificial intelligence oversight.

Although no system is perfect and invariably has flaws.

But most of the people in the "management" layer have been turned into a service industry that is no different from selling milk tea.

Whether on the side of Xianxia or the Mortal World, the traditional concept of "officialdom" has been lost. This can indeed be said to be a super epoch-making change!

Of course, there was still a big difference from his Previous Life. The Qinglian World did not pursue absolute equality; monks and ordinary people had different but also related obligations.

"Alright, let’s end it here for today, go busy yourselves!" Wang Zijia said so.

"Comply with the Immortal Venerate’s Decree!"

"······"

Just as everyone was about to leave, Wang Zijia suddenly spoke up:

"Right, in no more than half a year, this world will be completely anchored with Shen Hong. When the spiritual energy from the Upper Realm pours in, the third wave of the rebirth of spiritual energy in the Qinglian Realm that has been suppressed should erupt simultaneously if there are no accidents."

"The Qinglian Realm will also be promoted from the small thousand world... and return to the middle thousand world. Because of various reasons, this opportunity should be considerable."

"Notify everyone in advance to prepare to welcome this feast, try to maximize the benefits."

"Especially since I noticed that thousands of perfected individuals are stuck at the pinnacle of perfected level. This is a great opportunity. Five thousand Talisman Jade Discs can be upgraded to the magic treasures grade with this opportunity, thereby prompting a breakthrough to the Pseudo Soul Stage."

"The imperial examinations in the recent five years, let’s pause it for one term!"

Everyone was startled at first, followed by a look of joy on their faces.

"Your disciples understand!"

Only a few moments later did Li Lexin, the first to recover, responded so.

"Alright, we’ll end here for today."

Everyone agreed and began to leave.

······

For a moment, the entire Great Hall was left with only the five great saint masters and a few academy deans led by Mo Yunzi.

The one who was now closest to the Infant God stage wasn’t one of the three great saint masters, or Mo Yunzi, the protagonist of the previous era in the Qinglian Realm, but Shang Rifeng, who seemed to be the protagonist of the new era in the Qinglian Realm.

The top-grade spiritual root holder that Wang Zijia had unexpectedly discovered.

He astonishingly relied on his methods to slightly surpass the limit of this world, reaching the Pseudo Soul Stage, taking half a step into being an Infant God.

It was just that his life trajectory was too peaceful, not at all like a protagonist of an era, and that he had grown up smoothly under the nurturing of the holy land.

Wang Zijia glanced at everyone; except for Jiang Siyi and Zong Bixue, they were all familiar faces.

As Wang Zijia stood up and walked out, Li Lexin and others immediately followed.

"Show me around Qinglian and see the results of your years of work," said Wang Zijia to Li Lexin beside him after leaving the Great Hall.

"Alright, master, where would you like to start?" Li Lexin asked with a smile.

"Let’s start with the Time Forbidden Zone!" As he spoke, Wang Zijia already began walking towards the Back Mountain of the Demon Suppression Peak, in the direction of the Time Forbidden Zone.

Ling Yanlan transformed into a palm-sized firebird, flying beside his shoulder, with the rest of them trailing half a step behind.

Wherever this team went, people would stop and bow respectfully.

This excited countless disciples!

No one paid attention to the disciples along the way and arrived at the canyon in the Back Mountain of the Demon Suppression Peak- the entrance to the Time Forbidden Zone came into view.

Wang Zijia first felt the space isolation here and just as he guessed, the space barrier had become stronger.

Luckily, the materials and refinement method used for the large ring-like door were both very special. It had almost merged with this space barrier, becoming stronger in tandem, thus it wasn’t wasted.

Even its mechanical intelligence became increasingly agile.

Wang Zijia had just arrived and hadn’t activated the door yet.

He saw a ring appear from nothingness on the space wall, forming a giant circular door that was two feet wide.

"Welcome back, Immortal Venerate!"

Accompanied by dots of music and a welcome, the golden ring on the door sounded.

Gold-coloured streaming lights flickered in Wang Zijia’s pupils for a moment. He looked at the door inset like a Vajra bracelet. This thing could barely be considered a magic treasure now.

With just one glance, Wang Zijia stepped in.

The moment he entered the Time Forbidden Zone, he felt a complete change.

Except for the entrance hall which had remained the same.

The remaining area of nearly a hundred miles had been covered by countless "communities". Over thirty thousand Perfected individuals and hundreds of thousands of genius disciple monks, along with their respective relatives and other people, lived here.

This made the entire Time Forbidden Zone appear somewhat lively and crowded.

The vast difference in timeline resulted in a certain disparity in style here.

In some areas, the ancient style from four hundred years ago was still preserved, while in others, a flash of various neon-like illusion formations were like virtual screens, and it seemed like stepping into a hyper-modern technological world.

The flight of various magical tools in the sky was also being outlined by rainbow-like illusion formations, creating well-ordered rainbow flight paths for them to fly through.

Between the wooden buildings and jade pavilions adorned with intricate carvings and paintings, there were individual virtual screens, blinking projection light screens. The fusion of classical and hyper-modern elements made for a somewhat weird scene.

But it wasn’t jarring, which Wang Zijia found incredibly outlandish yet completely fascinating.

If the Wanyu Sect exemplified the beginning of ancient-modern fusion, this place must have been its culmination!

He had been wandering around leisurely in a touristy manner without really paying attention to the enthusiasm of the crowds around him.

After spending quite some time, he had just toured around the secret realm’s inner city once and had arrived at the core area, in front of the dilapidated Door of the Two Realms.

The area for several miles around here had been allotted as the forbidden area and it was very much like a research base, with a huge factory constructed. The massive workshops enveloped the entire Door of the Two Realms.

Crowds of monks forming groups, whether they belonged to tool refinement, rune development, or array construction, were conducting various types of research on the gigantic door of the Two Realms, measuring several hundred meters.

It felt like a combination of spell and scientific thinking, in the form of a Xianxia version of a research laboratory.

"Greetings, Immortal Venerate!"

"Greetings, Immortal Venerate!"

"Greetings, Patriarch!"

"······"

The arrival of Wang Zijia brought everyone to a halt, all gathered together, looking at Wang Zijia with excitement.

Wang Zijia looked at the leader, who appeared to be someone he knew quite well, and he had quite a deep impression of him.

If he hadn’t remembered it wrong, his name was Yu Tianci, Li Lexin’s chief disciple, and a genuine money chaser!

His obsession with wealth was such that when they were exploring the "Spirit Stone" mine vein and discovered that it had already been turned into an altar by a ghost-like character who had absorbed everything, this guy’s first reaction was that the spirit stone had flown away!!!

"I remember you should have practiced Five Elements magic, right? How come you ended up in charge here?" Wang Zijia noticed that Yu Tianci, who was now at the peak of Perfected, seemed to be a bit out of his professional domain and felt like he had been banished, and asked with interest.

Yu Tianci hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Master said this place is too extravagant, so he asked me to keep an eye on it."

Wang Zijia:"······"

Sending a money chaser to manage a cutting-edge research laboratory?

Aren’t you afraid of starving the budget to death?

"Any results? Can this thing be repaired?" Wang Zijia paused for a moment, saw the grievance on the faces of the array and artifact repairers around him, and quickly shifted the topic.

"Patriarch, this is the Door of the Two Realms that is beyond the reach of even Earth Immortals. We are nowhere near that level of capability. Besides, it’s only been a little over four years, there hasn’t been much progress." Yu Tianci replied with a bitter smile.

"Not much progress? So, there is progress?" Wang Zijia wondered.

"Yes, after we figured out a few things, we went outside to conduct research and made some progress given the huge time differences." Yu Tianci said and handed something resembling a disposable talisman to Wang Zijia with an expression of offering a treasure.

Upon receiving and examining it, Wang Zijia could sense the space fluctuations in it and, after a closer inspection, he exclaimed, "A one-time teleportation talisman?"

"Yes, currently, it can only execute random teleports, but we are getting some progress with the targeted teleportation array panel. The ancient teleport temple should be able to be reproduced."

Yu Tianci spoke excitedly and proudly. Evidently, the teleportation arrangement had become a legend in the Qinglian Realm.

Indeed, it was an extremely exciting research result.

But Wang Zijia only slightly nodded, not too excited.

Wanyu also had low-level teleportation arrays, but nobody built them on a large scale.

Simply put, the cost-effectiveness was very low.

This broken array formation, whether in terms of construction or activation, required top-grade Void Stones, and the consumption was extremely exaggerated, almost equivalent to consuming a Spirit-level Space Ring after teleporting twice.

At such a price, even a God Monarch would feel the pinch.

Moreover, in this era, consumption at this level of resources, that’s truly unbearable!

Upon reaching the Pseudo Soul Stage, divine tour, anchor points, opening altars, summoning dummies, and many other methods could achieve similar teleportation effects, so teleportation and the like almost had no market in the entire Spirit Suppressing Realm.

Of course, no market doesn’t mean none, it hasn’t yet fallen to the point of being lost.

Some places still secretly constructed some, for example, the Dark Department had some, but Wang Zijia had not gone there.

Anyway, compared to teleportation arrays, there is more of a market for movement talismans.

Of course, if we continue in this way, we are not far from becoming extinct.

After all, in this era, without the bonus of population size, some things really gradually disappeared!

·······

Under the explanation and accompaniment of Yu Tianci and others, Wang Zijia toured around, and also strolled around the sect outside.

The entire Demon Suppression Sect’s Holy Land was also filled with ancient modern images. There were neon illusion formations and rainbow lights everywhere, various flying magical tools rising and falling. Amid carved railings and jade buildings, there was a sense of science fiction, yet the aura of immortality was entirely present.

Compared with the branches of the Wanyu Outer Sect, it lacked some traditions, but had much more of a hyper-modern atmosphere!

After getting a general understanding of the area, Wang Zijia finally activated the statues.
