There was a "click" sound.

The bottleneck of cultivation has broken.

Almost all the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles was extracted by Zhou Ming.

Soul power increased by 70%.

The radius of the confinement area has doubled.

He can use the spiritual energy within a radius of twenty miles at will just like the spiritual energy in his own body.

After finding an open space, Zhou Ming used a "golden light sword cannon" on a hilltop ten miles away.

"Boom~"

After a loud noise.

On the top of the mountain, a large crater nearly a hundred meters in diameter was carved out.

"Is this the strength of the late stage of trance?"

Gao Xiuzhen looked at it for a long time and was in a daze. His heart was surging, and he thought he couldn't do this.

"Bai Feiyang's swordsmanship is something that only a few people in this world can match."

Jiang Ruonan secretly praised that her realm and cultivation were higher than Bai Feiyang's, but in terms of actual combat, she still had a lot to learn.

"My husband has made a breakthrough again. Among the four of us, I have the lowest cultivation level. No, I must increase the frequency of dual cultivation with my husband to catch up!"

Mu Feiyan felt a strong sense of urgency in her heart. She was still in the early stages of trance, and her strength had always been at the bottom. Now that her husband had made a breakthrough, she had to catch up as soon as possible!

Dual cultivation is a very good shortcut, with high complementary bonuses. At the highest level, it can even reach the realm of "unity of soul and body". This sounds extremely absurd, but Mu Feiyan is extremely looking forward to it, because by sharing her husband's "Comprehension", her cultivation speed over the years has been able to maintain an extremely fast level.

This time her husband broke through again, and Mu Feiyan believed that she would be able to break through soon.

In fact, regarding "dual cultivation", the system also found a "shortcut" for Zhou Ming to speed up the improvement of plane resolution, which is to enter the "spirit and body integration" cultivation mode with a powerful female monk. In this state, the souls of men and women will change. By integrating resonance, insights can be shared, and the system can turn on the "double analysis" mode, which can also improve the resolution from the immortal couple who practice together.

If Zhou Ming befriends a female spiritual saint and practices dual cultivation with her, the system can also raise the resolution to the "spiritual saint" level.

So from this point of view, the system recommends that Zhou Ming expand his harem and marry more powerful female monks.

Zhou Ming thought for a while and shook his head.

He said to the system: "System, stop coming up with these crooked ideas. It is much more difficult to deal with women than to kill a few strong men."

Opening up the harem to improve plane resolution... Zhou Ming rejected this idea.

In terms of relationships, no matter men or women, everyone is selfish. Everyone hopes that the other person loves them. Especially those outstanding women with independent personalities are even less likely to dwarf themselves and become a member of someone else's harem... No matter that How good men are.

Even if Zhou Ming has the ability to open a harem, maintaining the harmony of the harem will definitely consume a lot of his energy, resulting in more losses than gains.

For example, he spent a lot of energy trying to deal with his wife Mu Feiyan and Gao Xiuzhen.

Every time he discussed spiritual practice with Jiang Ruonan, Mu Feiyan, Gao Xiuzhen and the others would also listen in... I wonder if there was any other purpose besides just listening.

After staying in Moyuan Continent for a few more days, Zhou Ming's cultivation and realm were basically stable.

The Deep Space Lightspeed set off again, heading east at great speed.

Go to your next adventure location.

It took about a day to fly high in the sky.

A continent with a radius of seven million miles appeared in front of Zhou Ming and the others.

Zhou Ming controlled the Lightspeed and landed near the middle of the continent.

After landing, Zhou Ming and the others entered a city as outsiders and learned about the customs and customs of this continent.

Then he was surprised.

This continent is actually a complete and huge country.

Imperial country.

It has existed for tens of thousands of years and is still in a period of strong national power.

The name of the country is "Yinyan Dynasty" (Yinyan is a kind of flower, shaped like fireworks).

After further detailed investigation, Zhou Ming came to the conclusion: This dynasty was a ruling institution based on absolute violence.

The emperor is the immortal with the highest cultivation level.

The minister is the monk with the second highest level of cultivation.

Mortals can only be slaves driven at will.

Looking down from a high altitude, you can see that this country has built many water conservancy projects, many tall and magnificent buildings, many image projects, and even a "city on the top of a mountain" that stands thousands of feet high.

In the middle of the continent, you can see a square lake with an area of ​​nearly 10 million square kilometers - like a swimming pool.

On a beautiful mountain range, Zhou Ming and others saw millions of people carrying stones and wood to build a palace for the nobles to use for their vacation.

There are far more than one similar palace. There are hundreds of these palaces along a certain spiritual vein with rich spiritual energy.

Seeing these beautiful and magnificent palaces, Zhou Ming and the others also realized: In order to build these palaces on the precipitous peaks thousands of feet high, how many corpses of civilians were buried under the valley bottom?

Coupled with the tens of millions of other large-scale man-made projects, a question mark popped up in Zhou Ming's mind:

How many mortals will die to build these projects?

Or you can ask:

After so many large-scale projects are completed, is it enough for all the mortals living in this country to die?

Zhou Ming did the math in his mind and found that it was not enough, not enough at all, and he would have to die three or four times.

What's even more remarkable is that the ruling class of this country is quite smart and has figured out a way to rationally utilize the power of the people.

They divided the world into 120 states.

Among them, 20 Wangjizhous mainly pay various taxes, have a light burden, provide soldiers, and have a prosperous economy.

The other 100 herder prefectures mainly provide civilian husbands who perform various types of corvee labor.

The pastoral states cannot be said to be poor, and their burdens are not heavy at ordinary times. However, every 100 years, they will encounter an almost "extinctional" harvest.

In order to complete planned engineering projects, the upper ruling class would send millions of troops every year to "harvest" a herdsman state, obtaining hundreds of millions of laborers to invest in various engineering construction activities.

A hundred years later, when this harvested herdsman state regains its vitality and a large number of people populate the land, the next round of harvesting can begin again.

And so on.

As for the fate of those people who joined the labor force...why make any further guesses?

Zhou Ming couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder this dynasty can exist stably for thousands of years. They are following a sustainable development path."

Jiang Ruonan on the side was silent.

The various scenes that happened in this dynasty were so similar and similar to what she had done in Dongyuan?

As long as the top ruling class has a little bit of brains and controls their desires, they can really treat the ordinary people at the bottom with four words:

Do whatever you want.

rebel.

I'm afraid some people may ask, if the ruling class is so oppressive, why don't the people rebel?

But the question is: Is rebellion useful?

Facing an army of millions of monks and mortals with sluggish fighting ability, what's the use of rebellion?

If the combat effectiveness of both sides is at the same level, or if there are no monks in this world, I am afraid that the Yinyan Dynasty will not be able to maintain it for even twenty years.

"Those mortals are so pitiful!"

"Husband, let's save those mortals quickly, save them!"

Passing by a herdsman state, she happened to find a large number of legions arresting strong men from village to house. Mu Feiyan became anxious and took Zhou Ming's hand to go down and rescue people.

"Can't be saved."

Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "There are hundreds of millions of strong men that the army wants to capture. What's the point of saving tens of thousands of people? Most people still can't change their fate."

"But……"

Mu Feiyan's eyes were red, "Everyone I can save is one. Are we just going to watch those families and wives being separated and watch those tragedies happen?"

She shouted: "We can still help a small number of people!"

"Mu Feiyan, please stop making trouble!"

Gao Xiuzhen on the side said: "So what if you saved them? After you save them, there are tens of thousands of people, how do you resettle them? How do you put them out of misery forever?"

"As long as they cannot leave this country, no matter how many people you save, they or their descendants will still be taken away as strong men in the future."

"Your efforts to save them are all in vain!"

These words made Mu Feiyan calm down.

Yes, saving the mortals in front of you is a way to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause and just make yourself feel better.

She suddenly became very frustrated: "What should we do to save them?"

"Kill the emperor of this country and slaughter all the ministers of this country!"

At this time, Jiang Ruonan, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

Mu Feiyan's eyes lit up: "This method seems good."

Gao Xiuzhen also nodded and said: "Killing all the emperor and ministers of this country will indeed produce obvious results."

Zhou Ming glanced at Jiang Ruonan in surprise. He didn't expect that as a former "devil", she would pay such attention.

but……

Zhou Ming also shook his head and said: "Even if we kill the emperor and ministers, it is only a temporary solution. After we leave, no more than twenty years at most, the nobles who want to enjoy will still return to their old ways and act wantonly. The conscription of civilian husbands may even become more severe."

“This is still a temporary solution that only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It can only have a temporary effect.”

"After all, this dynasty has existed for thousands of years. To change the way they treat herders as livestock, it is necessary to uproot the ruling class. Just killing a few people at the top will not have long-term effects."

In addition, the highest ruling class of this dynasty must be protected by countless experts for their own safety, and they may not be so easy to kill.

After hearing his words, the three women fell into silence for a short time.

"But... now that we are here, we have to do something, right?" Mu Feiyan whispered.

Gao Xiuzhen also nodded. The people of this country are living in hell on earth, and they just pass by like this?

"Kill a few people and then leave." Jiang Ruonan said.

Zhou Ming suddenly smiled and said to several women:

"Actually, I have a relatively slow-effective method. It may take hundreds of years, but it can save the people of this country once and for all."

Mu Feiyan's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "Husband, what can I do?"
