Chapter 868: The interrogation
In the office.
Chen Yunxi began to report her findings.
"After annihilating the evil sect, we"ve obtained a total of about 1000 catties of energy stones. The value of various medicinal pills is about 10 billion. In addition, the world"s common currency, converted to RMB, is about 30 billion."
Fang ping calculated for a moment and smiled."The harvest is still alright. I didn"t expect the evil sect to have so many energy stones. It seems like the Grand Pope has invested quite a lot."
1000 catties of energy stones did not sound like a lot now.
Such a large evil sect only had this few energy stones. It was not even as many as the amount Fang ping could get from a casual trip to the catacombs.
However, the situation was different between the two. Energy stones were not as abundant in the past.
"Mysterious heaven, heavenly observer, Wuji heaven ... The four grandmasters have turned in a total of 2000 catties of energy stones and 1200 energy fruits of various types. However, they are all energy fruits for low-ranked martial artists, so their value is average ..."
Fang ping nodded again.
The four grandmasters were just there to express their thoughts. There was no point in counting on them to turn in any good stuff.
The 3000 catties of energy stones were his biggest harvest this time.
According to the price that Fang ping offered, it was actually just a rank-9"s basic annual salary.
"The Ministry will keep half of these things! The remaining half would be split according to their achievements! In addition, the battle merits will be recorded. When we have acc.u.mulated enough battle merits, we can also exchange for these things in the division. "
Fang ping did not expect to earn money from the Tian Department. How much could he earn?
Tian"s main purpose was not to make money.
Chen Yunxi jotted them down one by one, then asked,"What about the three ministries and four mansions ..."
"Don"t worry about it!"
Fang ping laughed and said,"right now, the heavenly division needs to concentrate their resources and cultivate a group of powerhouses!" "The three ministries and four prefectures are still mainly nurturing middle and low-ranked martial artists at the moment. They don"t need so many things."
In the past, there were not many high-ranked powerhouses.
The three ministries and four prefectures were all nurturing the power of the basic level. Only when the power of the basic level was sufficient would the strong be born from this Foundation.
"Right now, there are more than 4 million martial artists in Sino nation.
And now, he was pursuing quality.
The existence of Tian was actually to provide a platform for some ambitious powerhouses to give birth to some truly top-notch powerhouses.
"Alright," he said.
Chen Yunxi did not say much and continued to record.
After talking for a while, Fang ping stood up and said,"I"ll go interrogate that guy. You don"t have to be busy with all this. Just leave the basic work to the others. More than 200 rank-6 martial artists can do all these things."
"I know."
……
After he left the office, Fang ping took a look at his wealth.
[Wealth: 5.81 billion points]
[Vitality: 131000Cal (131800Cal)
[Mentality: 8225Hz (8399Hz)]
[Power of destruction: $64 ($64)]
[Storage s.p.a.ce: 10000 cubic meters (+)]
[Energy barrier: 1 point/minute (+)]
[Aura simulation: 10 points/minute (+)]
[Origin a.n.a.lysis: 10 million 100 million points/time]
His wealth points were higher than when he came out of seclusion, mainly from the essence armor and the mystic Light divine pill. These two things had increased his wealth by nearly 200 million points.
These days, Fang ping had also used up some of his energy. After a few battles, his vitality and mentality had both increased.
His vitality had already exceeded 130000 Cal, so he should be slightly higher than old man Li now.
Even some of the origin path martial artists in rank-nine might not have a base vitality as high as his.
"Xuanming divine pill ..."
As he walked out, Fang ping was thinking about the mystic Light divine pill.
His mental power and physical body were still in balance. In fact, the xuanming divine pill did not have much effect on him.
However, some people could still use this thing.
Li Hansong and old Yao could use it.
However, Fang ping was also considering whether he should let them use it to create a balance.
Sometimes, balance also represented mediocrity.
Old Yao"s mental power was strong, and Li Hansong"s physical body was strong. These were the foundations for them to be stronger than those of the same rank.
Once this was balanced, it might cause a decline in strength.
"Perhaps it"s more appropriate for me to use it!"
Fang ping thought of a problem. If he could obtain some treasures that could improve his mentality or physical body at Mount zigai this time and consume them, it might cause his strength to skyrocket on one hand and his strength to stagnate on the other.
On Mount zigai, the treasures that grew from the corpses had a higher chance of improving the physical body.
At that time ... Perhaps he could use the xuanming divine pill to balance it out and increase his mental power.
"I"ll keep it for now!"
As Fang ping thought about it, a large amount of wealth points appeared in his mind again. What the gray cat had said was that these imperishable substances were actually stolen ... They were not born from him!
"The imperishable substance ... Can be used in battle, can be used for recovery, and can also be used to fill material! "However, in the end, these external imperishable substances were not born from my own body!
"Maybe I should change. The imperishable substance I gave birth to is actually only that 64 yuan. In the future, the imperishable substance from the system should be mainly used as consumables and not as my own Foundation."
Fang ping had overlooked one thing all this while. He did not really care about the little bit of imperishable substance he had produced.
64 yuan!
If he used his wealth to exchange for it, 640000 wealth points would be enough. What was the use of this bit of imperishable substance?
In reality, he had never really used his own imperishable substance, nor had he specially cultivated it.
When it came to combat, they were all created by the system.
However, these were, after all, foreign objects.
"You have to pay attention to this! In addition, I"ve also found a new direction in my Dao of origin. "
These few days, Fang ping had not been idle. He was also thinking about the direction of his own path.
How could he build a broad and long-term origin Dao?
What preparations did he need to make to open up this path in the source s.p.a.ce?
"I"ve seen too little of the essence DAOs. I should read more! Since I still have a lot of wealth points, I should take a look at both the humans and the demons. "
Fang ping thought of the two rank-9 beasts in the sky. This was also an opportunity to take a look.
As for the people from the heavens beyond heaven, take a look at their origin Dao.
Even if he didn"t gain anything, knowing some of their weaknesses could prevent these people from turning against him in the future.
……
The prison of Tian.
This was something Fang ping and the others had built a few days ago, specifically to imprison powerhouses.
All around him were walls that were solidified by the spiritual power of the top powerhouses.
The wall was not made of alloy but some mountain rocks from the defensive Sea Mountain. These mountain rocks were much stronger than ordinary alloy.
The defensive Sea Mountain was built to defend against the forbidden Sea.
The prison of Tian was actually equivalent to a small sea-defending mountain.
The building of this prison was also for the convenience of imprisoning some important people in the future.
In the prison cell, Tian Mu, beigong Yan, and the others had already arrived.
As soon as Fang ping arrived, The Golden House appeared. It shrunk to the size of a normal house, and the Golden walls became transparent in the blink of an eye.
In the house, the evil sect"s middle-aged martial artist was still charging hysterically.
However, the power was much weaker than before.
In The Golden House, Fang ping could close off the energy channel. The other party could not recover. Their physical bodies were destroyed, and their mentality was constantly worn down.
At this moment, it was already extremely weak.
The moment The Golden House turned transparent, the other party also saw Fang ping and the others. His illusionary mentality condensed into a human form, and his mentality fluctuated violently.
"Fang ping! Let this Lord go!"
Fang ping found a chair and sat down, smiling."Do you really not know or are you just pretending? Do you think you still have a way out? Of course, I still haven"t killed you yet, so there"s still a chance of survival.
Think carefully about whether you want to take this chance or not!"
With that, Fang ping condensed a ma.s.s of imperishable substance in his hand and said with a smile,""Maybe if I"m in a good mood, I can help you recover your physical body! You have to know that in your current condition, even if you really go out, you will only be a spiritual body.
Do you think anyone would be willing to help you recover your physical body?
Can you do it yourself?
The G.o.d in your eyes, the Pope, will he waste a large amount of imperishable substance to help you recover your physical body?"
At rank-7, the body was destroyed, but the mentality was not destroyed, so one could not die.
However, that didn"t mean that he could recover his physical body at will!
Even if the other party was a rank-9 powerhouse, if his physical body could not recover quickly, his mentality would be slowly worn out and become a rootless source. Sooner or later, it would be completely obliterated.
The middle-aged man"s illusionary figure became even more illusionary. He said with resentment,""Even if I die now, I"ll be resurrected sooner or later!"
Fang ping sneered,"others believe it, but you do?" Will the Pope really resurrect you? Let"s not talk about whether he has the ability or not. Even if he does, how much do you think it will cost to resurrect a person?
You"re just a prisoner, and you"re still not willing to self-destruct even now. Why are you acting tough in front of me?
If you were like the others, you would have self-destructed a long time ago. I wouldn"t even have the chance to interrogate you!"
The middle-aged man remained silent.
Fang ping smiled lightly,"alright, let"s not talk about this anymore!" Pretending to be a tough guy also depended on who he was facing! "Do you think I, Fang ping, will care about this? Would he appreciate you because of this? Don"t joke around!"
Fang ping shook his head and went straight to the point."First, let"s ask the first question. How many humans have died by your hands over the years?!"
The middle-aged man"s spiritual form trembled slightly, and his spiritual power fluctuated.""I"ve never killed a human before! The divine sect"s martial artists had also been living in seclusion! The followers of G.o.d in society ... Were all followers of other sects!
Don"t confuse other religions with G.o.d"s religion!"
Fang ping sneered. Tian Mu sneered, "You"re talking like a White Lotus! "But you said that you rats don"t dare to come out. I still believe you a little, but I"m afraid there are many people commanding you in the dark.
Do you think we"ll believe you if you say that the disciples of those sects killed and set fires, and that they had nothing to do with you?
If you say you didn"t kill any humans, I"ll believe you to some extent, but if you say you didn"t command the cultists to create chaos, who would believe you?"
The middle-aged man fell silent again.
There were some things that were useless to deny.
But very quickly, the middle-aged martial artist"s psyche fluctuated again."The goal of the demonic sect isn"t those ordinary humans, nor are it those middle and low-ranked martial artists. Even if we have plans, it"s very rare to target these people!
That"s right, we did create some chaos, but all of you should know that the church didn"t gain any advantage over the years. Instead, they suffered heavy losses ..."
Fang ping interrupted him with a smile,"since you still want to defend yourself, then you"re asking to live, right?"
If he didn"t want to live, he didn"t need to explain.
The middle-aged martial artist was silent.
"Name."
Fang ping was also straightforward. He stopped asking about this and began to ask for information.
"Shen San!"
Fang Ping"s eyes were cold and sharp, and he shouted in a low voice,"real name!"
"Shen San. It"s only a code name, but it"s also his real name!"
Shen san"s mental power fluctuated deeply."A long, long time ago, Shen San was my name! We are the messengers of the G.o.ds, and we don"t need secular names!"
"Age!"
Shen San paused for a moment."Is it necessary to ask?" he asked.
"Just tell me!"
"Around 2500 years old."
Shen San couldn"t even explain himself, and he said in a low voice,""I"ve been alive since the end of the fiendG.o.d era. "
Fang ping smiled lightly,"I guessed it!" So, you"re a human from the spring and autumn Warring States period?"
"I guess so."
"Tell me, who is the Pope? when did you start following him? could it be that you followed him more than two thousand years ago?"
Shen San was silent for a moment, then said slowly,"Fang ping, at this point, if I want to live, there are some things that I can"t say. There are some things that I can"t say. Even if I say it, I can"t escape death! Moreover, there are many things that I"m not clear about!"
At this point, G.o.d three"s tone was low."I"m not too sure about the matter of the Pope! More than two thousand years ago, I was only a mortal martial artist. At that time, the Monarchs founded their sects and established their realms ...
At that time, I went to the land to join a sect.
Along the way, some experts appeared and recruited our group into a sect ..."
"What sect?"
Fang ping asked quickly.
Shen San pondered for a moment and said after a while,""To the outside world, it"s the tianshen sect! Back then, it was just a small sect. The realm ... Was actually a large sect back then. A sect with a great emperor in charge was the realm!
In the past, there were also a few scattered small sects. Some of them were founded by true G.o.ds, while others were at the origin realm.
"There are even some rank-8 golden bodies who have established sects.
"I was only rank-3 at that time ..."
Fang ping frowned slightly,"didn"t they say it"s difficult to travel between the two worlds?" "A rank-3 martial artist like you can actually go to the catacombs from earth?"
Shen San explained,"when the venerable sovereigns founded the sects, some people left some pa.s.sages in the outer gate of the human world for martial artists like us who want to go to the land. We only need to pay some fees."
Back then, I used this pa.s.sage to head to the land.
In reality, there were still some grandmasters that opened up to the public of their own accord, allowing martial artists from both worlds to pa.s.s through. However, the Grandmaster pa.s.sageway was a place only powerhouses could enter. Without being rank-seven, it was impossible to enter Grandmaster.
The tianshen sect was a sect founded by a rank-nine Origin realm martial artist. At that time, it was not considered powerful, but it was not the weakest either.
At that time, there were many sects in the land. The sects founded by rank-9 martial artists were like carps in a River, and they were not very famous.
We were brought to the Tian Shen sect. After that, it was a brutal elimination and selection ..."
Shen San was lost in his memories, and only spoke after a long time,""It"s not just us. A few other sects are the same! "We will enter some small worlds and fight in places similar to the heavens beyond heaven. We will seize treasures, compete, and cultivate ...
"Among that group of people, I"m considered to be one of the most talented ones. With this, after a few years, I"ve entered the high ranks ..."
At this point, Shen San said slowly,"at that time, the boundary had just been established not long ago, but chaos had already begun to appear! The land is extremely chaotic ..."
"You"ve never experienced the destruction of the earth sovereign divine dynasty?"Fang ping interrupted.
"No, I didn "t!"
Shen San denied."When I entered the land, it was almost the same as it is now. At that time, the earth Emperor divine dynasty had already been destroyed. The second king led the defeated troops and retreated to the current land."
At that time, everyone was recuperating. The two kings were Emperor-level experts and had many real G.o.ds under their command ...
In short, when the precinct was first established, both sides were at peace. "
"What about Mount calming sea? Was it established during that period?"
Speaking of this, Shen San knew about it and quickly said,""Not bad! At that time, the reason why the other factions did not continue to attack the two kings was actually related to this! At that time, the land was actually much larger than it was now. The outer region today ... Was not on the same scale as it was now!
Back then, the two kings led the remnants of their forces and retreated to the desolate area in the middle, while the outer area was the bustling area.
The establishment of the defensive Sea Mountain was equivalent to imprisoning the two kings within. Under such circ.u.mstances, the great emperor experts didn"t continue to force the issue.
The Emperor of the North Sea and the others had formed an alliance with a group of experts, including the survivors of the earth Emperor divine dynasty, to build the defensive Sea Mountain.
The boundary lands were built around the defensive Sea Mountain to guard these remnants, and also for another purpose ..."
"What"s the purpose?"
Fang ping asked. At this moment, he thought of what had happened back then. When he went to the king"s battlefield, he had thought that the restricted area ... Might be a cage!
And now, he actually had such intentions.
One had to admit that he was really smart!
Shen San thought for a while and said,"in fact, those great emperors don"t have good intentions either! They had built the sect around Mount Yuhai because it was connected to Mount Yuhai. Back then, a great emperor had said that he wanted to use the sky locking Dragon trapping array to surround the forbidden area.
"The boundary will draw the energy of the Forbidden Zone. I"m afraid you don"t know that the defensive Sea Mountain has the effect of isolating energy from the outside world.
And this function was actually to make the Forbidden Zone enter an era of no spiritual energy!
The boundary region from all directions began to extract the energy from the Forbidden Zone. After the energy entered the boundary region, it would not flow back.
If he really succeeded, then after a thousand years, the forbidden area would be completely turned into a wasteland!
The two kings had also known about this plan back then. However, they were unable to resist. There were too many Emperor-ranked powerhouses who had come to an agreement back then, so they could only pa.s.sively accept it.
Thus, the defensive Sea Mountain came into being, the realmverses came into being, and the current forbidden zone came into being. "
Fang ping furrowed his brows and said,"what a big move!" The Forbidden Zone"s area was probably six billion square kilometers. Such a large place was actually used as a cage back then? In other words, the outer regions are actually much larger than they are now?"
"Not bad!"
Shen San said with certainty,"it"s very big. It"s just that it"s currently being attacked by the forbidden Sea. As a result, the outer area is in ruins." When I entered the land, the outer area was too big. If I had to describe it, the Forbidden Zone in the current land is like the center of the inner ring of the city ...
But back then, the Forbidden Zone was only one of the larger towns.
At least 90% of the outer region had been eroded!
In the past, the boundary was where the great emperor lived. It was not directly next to the sea of sufferings, but at the core. Now, it is directly connected to the sea of sufferings. With this, you will know how much has been eroded!
The area where the heavenly G.o.d sect used to be has long since become the forbidden Sea. "
Fang ping nodded slightly and said,"continue!"
Shen San continued,"then let"s continue talking about the tianshen sect. When I became a high-ranked martial artist, the land was already in chaos!" At that time, the conflict between the North and the South was getting more and more intense. The disciples of various sects would often compare notes and compete, debating whether the physical body or the spiritual sense was stronger ...
Who was the Orthodox?
As a result, battles became a common occurrence. They would often erupt, and both sides would restrain themselves in the beginning ...
However, in the middle and late stages, there was no longer any restraint. Some small and medium-sized sects also took sides.
And it was at that time ... That I finally understood the use of sects like the tianshen sect ..."
Shen San said in a daze,"at that time, we were actually the beginning of the chaos! "We were ordered to kill martial artists from various sects. Some of us went to the southern sect, some went to the northern sect ...
That was when the ma.s.sacre began!
The middle-ranks were fighting, the high-ranks were fighting, the rank-7s were killed, the rank-8s were killed ...
More and more people began to kill and Rob under the banner of the war between the North and the South. It was at this time that the great chaos appeared. The heavenly G.o.d sect was not the creator of all the chaos ... On the contrary, the heavenly G.o.d sect was just an insignificant member!"
Shen San did not say all this to tell Fang ping and the others anything. He laughed and said,"Everyone, as this Lord speaks of this, you should all understand the power of the Pope!
That"s right, sects like the tianshen sect were actually supported by the Pope in the past!
The purpose is for the arrival of the chaotic world!"
Fang ping looked at him and said,"interesting!" So, the war between the North and the South was actually being directed by the Pope in secret? But I didn"t ask you about this, and you took the initiative to tell us. Are you trying to use this to intimidate us? You"re underestimating us!"
"It seems like you still don"t understand!"
Shen San said regretfully,"I"m telling you this because I want to tell you that there are some things that you can"t partic.i.p.ate in!" The war between the North and the South had most likely not been led by the Pope alone, but by the tacit understanding of many great emperors!
Including the current religion of G.o.d, it actually did not mean that there was only one Pope, but a group of people!
A group of experts who could stir up a war between the North and the South, a group of experts who were risking their lives for the emperor"s road.
"Fang ping, you want to find out who the Grand Pope is. Although I really want you dead, I still have to tell you. Even if you find out, what can you do?
The religion of G.o.d has no intention to be your enemy. The disciples who tried to kill you before were only some outer disciples, not true disciples of G.o.d.
Some things are deeper than you can imagine!
Some of the powerhouses that you think are impossible might have partic.i.p.ated in it, let alone others ..."
Shen San kept him in suspense and said in a mysterious tone,""Is no one partic.i.p.ating in today"s Summit of the six great sacred lands? "Fang ping, I"ve lived for so many years. I understand some principles better than you!
When it"s time to play dumb, you don"t have to get to the bottom of it!
Isn"t the current situation very good?
"The Pope has no intention of partic.i.p.ating in your war with the catacombs. Since that"s the case, why must you get to the bottom of it and force the Pope to fall out with you all in the end?"
"With the appearance of heaven"s beyond, there are still many powerhouses in the catacombs ... You"re already being attacked from both sides. At this time, the Pope no longer cares about the church"s Affairs. He"s just waiting for the heaven"s boundary wall to break ...
Is it really necessary for you to be enemies with the religion?"
Shen San was just trying to persuade him, and there was no need for that.
Fang ping gave him a deep look and said lightly,"I don"t need you to tell me this! The heavenly G.o.d sect, right? Tell me the names of the other sects that partic.i.p.ated in the past. Also, in these years, who have you been in contact with after your recovery?
Finally, tell me the names of all the Emperor-ranked martial artists you know back then. Distinguish them from those in the boundary region and those in the other regions!"
"It seems like you"re still not willing to give up," Shen San said in a deep voice.
"Who are you to teach me?"
Fang Ping"s eyes were cold as he said,"you"re just a prisoner!" "Do you really think that you can scare me off with this? Are you so scared that I won"t dare to kill you? So scared that I don"t dare to offend those people? What a joke!
If you can provide me with more information, I might let you live. You"re just dreaming if you think you can scare me!"
Shen san"s mind power sighed."Fine. Since you insist on this, I"ll tell you everything I know! You won"t get any benefits from killing me! "I"m actually tired after all these years. Fang ping, there"s no need to kill everyone. "
Fang ping sneered. Without saying anything else, he shook his hand and shook the other party"s mentality out of The Golden House.
"You can just stay here!"
After Fang ping said that, he looked at the others and said,"Ask about the situation again and give me a record of the inquiries later."
He felt that he might have found out something.
The Pope ... Might not be just one person!
Perhaps, they really were a group!
Or perhaps the Pope was simply a representative, and he represented a force!
"The Pope, the Heavenly King of suppression ..."
Fang ping mumbled. These two people seemed to represent one force, not an independent existence.
Some of the powerhouses today seemed to be ignorant of the situation.
"It"s getting more and more interesting!"
Fang ping suddenly laughed. "Whatever, I"ll enter the origin Dao as soon as possible."
The ninth refinement golden body would allow him to step into the origin path. He wondered if he would be qualified to partic.i.p.ate in it by then.
Now that old Zhang had already jumped out of the game, he couldn"t fall behind too much.
