My construction materials are weird

"Just a simple look through it has yielded significant gains. If I were to study it carefully for a while, I'm confident I could create some suitable spells," one cultivator said.

"As you all know, I enjoy crafting spirit talismans, even though my skill is always criticized by you guys. However, after reading 'Cosmic Lifeforms,' I've gained new inspiration. The Xuan Masters always teach us to emulate the heavens and earth. These endless lifeforms of the universe are all crystallizations of the creation of heaven and earth, precious treasures of the Great Dao of creation. By comprehending the structure of these lifeforms, I feel I will make great progress in my spirit talisman skills," a cultivator said, focusing on the aspect of spirit talismans.

He's right. Every lifeform is a creation of heaven and earth, the most outstanding crystallization.

To describe it using reincarnation:

For example, the Great Universe has experienced more than one reincarnation. From its initial birth to its prosperity, then to its decline and final end, this could be considered one reincarnation era.

What if the Great Universe has already undergone countless such reincarnation eras?

Each reincarnation will have new lifeforms appear, and lifeforms that existed in countless previous eras might be reshaped in this reincarnation's Great Universe.

Extending this further, in the infinite cycles of the universe, humanity is also one of them.

We are constantly evolving, which is why we have our current form.

Every lifeform is the most perfect work of the Heavenly Dao and Great Dao. Studying them is equivalent to studying the perfect Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The patterns of spirit talismans imitate the rules of heaven and earth, and their power is supported by mana. Every lifeform is also a condensation of the rules of heaven and earth, which is why they are so perfect.

The 'Cosmic Lifeforms' spread by Xuanhuang doesn't simply introduce the types of these lifeforms; it traces back to find their most fundamental principles of existence, as well as their life structures and why they possess such special abilities.

The physical structure and inscriptions on the body of a space race must be the ultimate tribute to space, which is why they have spatial affinity and can naturally survive in space.

By analogy, time, the five elements, and so on are all the same.

Every special race, since they possess innate abilities, then that ability must be a tribute and imitation of this Dao.

Studying them is equivalent to studying the Dao.

"It's just a pity that there are only descriptions and no real objects. If there were real objects, that would be great. I could use the bodies of these cosmic lifeforms to forge powerful magical artifacts," a weapon refiner cultivator said with regret.

Some of the descriptions of the races in 'Cosmic Lifeforms,' how do they seem so awkward?

Of course, this awkwardness is a psychological factor. After all, like humans, they are all living beings. How can you think of refining them into weapons before you even see them? Too evil.

But… I can't help it!.

"Yes, if only I could have a complete cosmic lifeform to study."

"Can you guys hurry up? You're acting like ignorant bumpkins who've never seen anything before. Greed and ignorance are written all over your faces. What did the Xuan Master say? … First-order transcendents are just monkeys who've just walked out of their home planet; they don't even count as cannon fodder. To survive in the universe, you need to be at least second-order to be considered qualified cannon fodder. Only third-order Dongxuan, with their own domains, unaffected by the environment, can be considered true cosmic lifeforms in the strict sense. Of course, if you want to live well, you need to reach fourth-order, then those existences can be called kings in the universe…"

"We are human cultivators under the guidance of Xuan Masters, not barbarians from some remote region. Don't put on such an ignorant face, okay? The Xuan Master showed us 'Cosmic Lifeforms' to broaden our horizons, not to let you indulge in unrealistic fantasies. I'll just ask one question: with your mere first-order Xuanbian cultivation, if you really encountered these cosmic races, would you be studying them, or would they eat you?"

"You, you, you're talking about yourself… aren't you Xuanbian too?" His friend's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Of course I am. But I don't have a face like yours. I'm still thinking about communicating well with cosmic lifeforms. As everyone knows, I never hide my hobby, which is to have a group of cosmic lifeform armies with beautiful women from various races, so that the bloodline of my old Wang family can spread throughout the entire universe… Unlike you, who are like a savage, always thinking about refining people into weapons, vulgar, very vulgar."

"I'm… am I becoming a race discriminator?" His companion laughed angrily.

He added: "You have your own hobbies, why can't I have my own? I like blacksmithing, especially using good materials for blacksmithing. In your eyes, alien races are beauties, in my eyes, they are just good pieces of iron, what's wrong with that?"

"Tch, vulgar."

"I'll tch back at you, you, disgusting, you'd even go for insects, stones, air, why don't you just bang the heavens and the earth."

He added: "Who doesn't understand your little thoughts? I've said it before, luckily you're in Qingyun Mountain, closely watched by the adults of the Merit Hall. If you weren't so lucky to be in Qingyun Mountain, you'd be a lecherous demon, a scourge, anywhere else."

"How can a sparrow know the aspirations of a swan?" This companion + frenemy didn't want to delve deeper.

Someone had grabbed his sore spot.

The two were true friends, not enemies.

But neither of them could be considered good people in the strict sense. One liked to hammer people into iron for weapon refining, the other liked other people's female relatives.

The blacksmith was right. If they weren't in Qingyun Mountain, they would be a demon figure, both righteous and evil, anywhere else.

Definitely not good people.

Of course, neither of them said they were good people.

It's just that in Qingyun Mountain, no matter what thoughts you have, you have to lie low. If you're a dragon, coil up; if you're a tiger, lie down. You can only shout 'I love the world,' justice, and light.

Qingyun Mountain's version of political correctness, that's what it is.

They were a group of seven, known to the outside world as the Seven Freaks of the Back Mountain.

Because they lived in the back mountain of Qingyun Mountain's overall location, because of their maverick personalities and styles, and because of their like-minded friends, they were called the Seven Freaks of the Back Mountain.

These seven guys were not simple. One sentence could describe their abilities.

That is: they have never faced a crisis of elimination.

As you can imagine, in the fiercely competitive Qingyun Mountain, never having to worry about the crisis of elimination is a very strong ability.

Out of the entire Qingyun Mountain's 30,000 legends, at least 10,000 in the middle dared to say that.

Of course, on a larger scale, they were only ranked in the lower middle among the 30,000 people. It seemed very powerful, but there were still many people in Qingyun Mountain who didn't look at them squarely or even bullied them.

That's how Qingyun Mountain, a place full of monsters, was.

For example…

"What are you seven pieces of trash scheming again? Are you plotting some evil scheme to harm someone?"

Suddenly, a soft yet sharp voice rang out, scolding the seven of them loudly and with harsh words.

The seven felt utterly dejected, yes, only dejected, not daring to be angry.

"Haha, isn't this Grandma Zixuan? You've also seen the two classics newly released by Master Xuan."

The Lust Demon immediately changed his expression, adopting a flattering demeanor, looking like a small, weak animal.

That's right, this Miss Zixuan carries a remnant of names from that era: Zixuan, Zixuan, Zixuan, Zixuan, anyway, many were called this.

However, this Zixuan is different, a true expert, ranked within the top ten thousand of Qingyun Mountain's legends, even with the strength to contend for the top three thousand, and one of the masters of the superior cave dwellings among the three thousand cave dwellings.

They had a conflict. The Seven Freaks encountered Zixuan outside.

Within Qingyun Mountain, of course, everyone is good to each other, but outside Qingyun Mountain, that's not the case. Whoever is stronger is the boss, the grandma.

Zixuan had just gone through a fierce battle, single-handedly killing her way through a large army of fierce beasts, and was slightly injured.

The Seven Freaks happened to see this and thought it was an opportunity to kill Zixuan and take everything she had.

As a result, even the injured Zixuan still completely overwhelmed the seven of them. If it weren't for their bad reputation and the Seven Freaks' numerous life-saving methods, they wouldn't have been able to return to Qingyun Mountain.

They were subdued in one go. The Seven Freaks, as distraught as stray dogs, were chased by Zixuan all the way to the entrance of Qingyun Mountain. If it weren't for that, the seven of them would have had trouble staying alive.

From then on, they became enemies. The Seven Freaks knew they couldn't win, so they hid from Zixuan. It was lucky that they hadn't been caught in the past few years.

But like a sword hanging over their heads, it made them uncomfortable.

The seven of them had repeatedly tried to resolve the conflict, saying it was a misunderstanding, but Zixuan inquired about the Seven Freaks' behavior and vowed not to reconcile, unwilling to associate with trash.

Unexpectedly, they were encountered by Zixuan again.

"Hmph!" Zixuan looked at the seven of them with murderous intent, as if looking at dead people.

There is no mistake in one head, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one existence, one look!

There's no doubt that if they weren't in Qingyun Mountain, she would have attacked the seven of them.

However, the Lust Demon was right about one thing: Zixuan also had some insights after seeing "Cosmic Life", and used a precious opportunity to control the world in her cave dwelling, creating an extremely powerful spell.

She planned to go to the White Bone Pagoda to perfect it through the Lost Illusion.

She happened to see the Seven Freaks of the Back Mountain, so with the mindset of being idle is also idle, she intimidated the seven of them.

"Focus your minds on how to deal with cosmic beings and alien races, which is far better than using crooked ways on your own people… Although you seven are trash, trash is still valuable for dealing with trash."

After speaking, Zixuan left amidst the complex emotions of the seven, who were smiling and flattering on the surface but cursing in their hearts.

"Tch, stinky woman, I'll make you look good sooner or later, tch, educating me, who do you think you are?" The Lust Demon vented.

"That's right, sooner or later I'll refine her into a puppet and enslave her, hmph," the Blacksmith said.

The remaining five, including the Rune Refiner, also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really hard to say, why did they offend this woman that time? The reputation of the Seven Freaks of the Back Mountain was completely shattered by this woman.

The seven dispersed unhappily and left.

There were many such gatherings like them, or rather, the entire Qingyun Mountain was taking action, including the super forces and major forces.

They were all stirred up by the two books released by Xuan Huang, "Transcendent Technology" and "Cosmic Life".

For example, the Four Supers were considering the feasibility of Transcendent Technology.

For example, the Eight Greats were also considering this, but it would inevitably be costly, and if it failed, they would be burdened and affect the development of their own forces.

They were thinking about whether to wait and see the actions of the Four Supers or to bet on themselves.

There were advantages to observing the Four Supers, at least they would summarize a lot of experience and have experience to follow, which would greatly increase the success rate.

But the disadvantages were also obvious, which was that they would be one step behind the Four Supers.

If they didn't bet directly like this, they were afraid of failure.

So difficult.

The rogue cultivators didn't have so many concerns. Transcendent Technology, which required resources and environment, was not suitable for them. They didn't have the ability to promote the progress of the entire human civilization.

It was depressing to say, they always resented the domineering major forces, always felt that the major forces were tumors, occupying seventy to eighty percent of the resources and rights of the cultivation world.

But at this time, they would find that it was always the major forces that promoted human progress and the progress of cultivators.

These rogue cultivators, sometimes, were really like trash, unable to do anything well, but the first to complain.

It was quite embarrassing.

So let's skip it and not care about "Transcendent Technology" and go read "Cosmic Life", which would at least allow them to have real gains and progress.

There were also many who thought too much, such as Zixuan.

When she saw "Cosmic Life", because she was righteous and a gentleman, she thought of the current environment.

The current environment was without major waves, everything was continuing, whether it was exploration, Starfall, strangeness, or the development of the fierce beast small world.

The cultivators who had developed for ten years could already easily face these problems, no longer the problem of occupying the dominant direction.

Therefore, the most taboo direction was the internal infighting of their own people.

For example, the appearance of evil cultivators, for example, Minister Bi Xia's team's actions, for example, Alliance Leader Zhu Changxun's inspection, for example, Senior Ji Zhongfu's defense of the cultivators in the small world, and so on.

These were all internal disputes among cultivators.

Because she was righteous and a gentleman, she naturally thought that Master Xuan couldn't bear to see everyone killing each other, so he released Transcendent Technology and Cosmic Life.

This was to remind everyone not to rush into internal strife. You are still far behind. There is still such technological civilization, and there are countless races in the universe. What is your internal strife?

This was what Zixuan thought.

How to say, the kind Grandma Zixuan thought of Xuan Huang as she thought he was.

In fact, Xuan Huang didn't care at all, he didn't care about internal or external strife.

It was just that he happened to encounter mechanical civilization, and it happened that this breakthrough also replaced a place to absorb the power of heaven and earth, so new discoveries appeared.

That's all.

It's not enough to think of Xuan Huang so well.

"What does everyone think?"

In the Town Evil Department, Bi Xia, who was planning the opening, gathered everyone together.

"I think we can do it. We have giant cities, we have resources, and we have enough ability. What the Merit Hall can do, our Town Evil Department can also do. What the Merit Hall can't do, our Town Evil Department can also do."

Long Yue said very actively.

"Haha, I think so too. We'll do "Transcendent Technology" and give everyone a demonstration by the way, and at the same time announce the return of our Town Evil Department."

Bi Xia made a final decision.
