Immortality, but people in primitive society

Chapter 424: Let the Divine Authority Rise to a Higher Position

Bai Tian thought the Tai Xi project was just a three-day fad, but this time, Tai Xi really got serious. For almost ten days, Tai Xi worked alongside Bai Tian every day, immersed in research at the Mechanical Engineering Institute.

In fact, Tai Xi is very talented in mechanical research. Perhaps it is because he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he already knows a lot of basic mechanical knowledge.

During the day he wanted to make an engine, and he even wanted to make a Lingshi motorcycle.

However, this thing is easier said than done. The millions of details are really enough to make your brain explode.

The design was fine, but the real difficulty lay in the steel. Although iron was already available in Jicheng, it was crude and produced in low quantities, making it impossible to withstand the explosive power of the spirit stones.

During the day, I thought that if I wanted to forge steel, it would be more efficient to refine it directly using the refining method.

That day, Bai Tian was discussing the concept of "stroke" with Tai Xi when Lao Tong called out from outside: "Haotian, the city lord is looking for you."

Bai Tian knew that Ji Jun and the others had arrived...

Sure enough, when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion during the day, Ji Jun was already waiting inside.

In addition to Ji Jun, Cang Shu also followed, as well as two women, one in her forties and the other in her twenties.

"Haotian lives forever!" Several people still knelt on one knee facing Bai Tian.

Bai Tian nodded calmly, then asked them to sit down and talk.

They first talked about Ji Qiong, and during the day he mentioned Minglan to Ji Jun and others, but he did not say that Minglan had an accomplice in the city.

As expected during the day, Zhuanxu and his men knew the great use of the spirit stones. However, they did not spread them out.

Their reasoning was that the number of spirit stones currently held within Kyushu was actually very small, far less than one percent of the population. Furthermore, research on spirit stones was lagging far behind.

In fact, Jiuzhou's research on spirit stones started very early, starting with the Lieshan tribe. At that time, the Lieshan tribe, under Bai Tian's guidance, studied elixirs and white minerals.

However, over the years, the power of the "Spirit Stone" has been changing, making it difficult for them to obtain real research results.

Because the power of the spirit stone changed, the difficulty of refining pills and weapons also kept changing. It was not until the end of the world that the power of the spirit stone gradually stabilized.

All of this was within Bai Tian's expectations. He only asked about the situation and did not make any demands.

After chatting for a while, Bai Tian hesitated and said softly, "Ji Jun, come with me for a walk in the city."

"I've been in Jicheng for a while, but I've never walked through the city. Jicheng is a pretty good city."

Ji Jun was stunned at first, but soon understood what was going on. He nodded and left the City Lord's Mansion with Bai Tian.

Not far from the City Lord's Mansion is a busy street with many shops selling all kinds of things.

By the time the Kyushu civilization had developed to this day, it already had a complete currency, copper coins.

As Bai Tian walked, he whispered, "Ji Jun, is Zhuanxu in good health?"

Ji Jun sighed and whispered, "It's not good. I'm afraid my uncle doesn't have much time left. We tried to use spirit stones to extend his life, but the effect was very mediocre."

Hesitantly, Ji Jun whispered again, "My uncle has been very afraid of death in recent years. I feel that he is a little...not normal. He is always worried about his own death and wants to live forever. He even wants to take pills all day long."

I sigh secretly during the day, there will always be people who end up in this state, it's inevitable.

"Zhuanxu's life was actually quite glorious," Bai Tian said softly. "He did nothing wrong. The longer he lives, the better it will be for you."

"We all know this," Ji Jun said with a wry smile. "After the Jedi Tiantong, the death of the old master Cangjie was enough to cause chaos in Jiuzhou. Uncle can't die, he needs to live longer. But I'm worried that he will be retaliated against."

"Then you need to grasp it." Bai Tian's expression remained calm. "I believe that the Taoist sect is not completely controlled by Zhuanxu, right?"

"This..." Ji Jun couldn't understand what was meant. His brows furrowed slightly. "Uncle shouldn't go to that point. Over the years, although uncle hasn't done some things well, the overall direction is fine."

Bai Tian nodded and changed the subject: "Ji Jun, tell me the truth, what does Zhuanxu think of me... no, I should say, what does he think of 'Haotian'?"

Ji Jun shuddered slightly, his expression becoming somewhat complicated. He hesitated for a long moment before mumbling, "My uncle has spoken to me about this. He hopes Haotian will obey his orders. When and where Haotian appears should be decided by the inner court."

Sure enough!

Ji Jun added: "But I don't quite agree with this approach."

"Why?" Bai Tian tilted his head slightly.

Ji Jun shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure. I just feel that Jiuzhou is now in an era of cultivation, and the path to immortality will soon be fully implemented. By then, people's hearts may become even more arrogant, and we'll need a sword hanging over our heads to constantly remind everyone."

"But……"

"But you are also worried that this sword will fall on your head, right?" Bai Tian smiled lightly.

Ji Jun didn't dare to respond, his face full of embarrassment.

Bai Tian's smile was very gentle: "Ji Jun, you don't need to be afraid of me. To be honest, you are the only person I can talk to now."

"From Fuxi, to Dijun, to Donghuang, and then to Cangjie, I got along well with them all. As for Zhuanxu, although I spent a long time with him, he gave me a different feeling."

"Actually, you're right. This sword is hanging high up. It's best if it really just hangs there and never falls down."

"I've been thinking about this recently. I call it the conflict between divine authority and royal authority. The two characters 'Haotian' seem to represent more and more things, and are becoming less and less suitable for their actual appearance."

Ever since the "Haotian believers" started causing trouble, I felt something was wrong during the day.

In a sense, the four words "Haotian Yongchuang" have become a burden for Zhuanxu and his men. Of course, whether this is good or bad for Jiuzhou is not clear to Bai Tian yet.

Ji Jun took a deep breath and whispered, "Haotian, actually, we wish you had let us know before you showed up. Or if you need anything, we can help you... After all, your strength is indeed too special."

Bai Tian nodded, looked up at the sky, and said softly, "Ji Jun, do you think it would be better if I never appeared in Jiuzhou again?"

Ji Jun's face changed drastically: "Haotian, no. This Jiuzhou doesn't have you..."

"With the development of Jiuzhou to this point, I've almost finished what I need to teach." Bai Tian interrupted him, "I think it's time to elevate theocracy to a higher position."

Ji Jun was stunned and didn't quite understand. What did it mean to rise to a higher position?

Bai Tian retracted his gaze and smiled at Ji Jun: "Ji Jun, have you ever thought about what is behind the path of immortality?"
