Chapter 6979 Destined Future
From a certain perspective, this will be the ecological niche in the future, and the good thing about this ecological niche is that it will not be usurped by any child of an aristocratic family.
This broken road cannot be usurped by the noble families.
To put it bluntly, the possibility that the major families are eyeing the path of command is far greater than the possibility of eyeing the path of smelting. After all, this path is really painful and can lead to death.
It is really the case that no matter how talented you are, you have to go to the battlefield, experience the life-and-death struggle on the front line, stimulate your own talent to the limit, and then you can start smelting. This process is inevitable for anyone who wants to go the path of smelting.
At most, a talented guy can risk his life less often on the front line, so that he can fully understand his talent and then start the road of refining.
Just look at Wan Zhen and you will know. He is a god, right? The kind mentioned in history books, a god in the world of patchwork, with a spiritual talent that knows everything. He is one of the best in the world. But after all this time, he has only reached the fourth level of smelting, and he cheated to get to the top. Anyone who knows the situation can see that Wan Zhen, who has reached the fourth level of smelting, will be killed in a few hits if he encounters a serious attacker.
But even so, Wan Zhen's fourth-level smelting was something he mastered after following the Iron Cavalry Headquarters, experiencing all kinds of life-and-death battles, and surviving a near-death experience on the frontline battlefield. Without this experience, even if Wan Zhen was a god, he would not have been able to reach the fourth-level smelting.
And everyone knows what a battlefield is. It is a place where people will really die. You will not be able to live a few more days just because you are born into a noble family, nor will you die suddenly on the spot just because you are born into a humble family. This place emphasizes strength, and your life may be taken away by the enemy at any time.
Therefore, in Chen Xi's view, the path of smelting is a true road to heaven, just like compulsory education. As long as it exists, it is the right way to achieve class mobility.
What, you said that the aristocratic families suppress the smelting road, isn't that better? The army becomes weaker, and without smelting, the people can overturn the things that are pressing on their heads, isn't that easy?
What, you said that the aristocratic families sent non-family backbones to go on the road of smelting. Not to mention whether they can compete with the larger number of ordinary people, even if they really made it, hasn't history told us the result? Weak root and strong end, Tai'a is upside down, who is the aristocratic family?
What, you said that the aristocratic families sent their direct descendants to the road of smelting, the number is even smaller, and the probability of being able to compete with ordinary people is even lower. What, a superman among ten thousand, like Li Er, who is both civil and martial, and is simply a giant of the times? Then just say it, this is a direct son, an absolute direct son. Even if he is not a direct son, he is a manual direct son!
Since the legitimate son is so powerful and has truly fought his way out of thousands of troops, why would other people not accept it? I use my birth to suppress you, and you don't accept it. I use my backing to suppress you, and you don't accept it. But I have eliminated everything and use myself to suppress you, what else can you say!
People who are more talented and work harder than you are standing in front of you and sitting in a high position. Is there anything worth scolding? This is also a kind of fairness!
Therefore, the smelting road is very interesting in Chen Xi's opinion. It is a real upward channel left for the lower-class people, a path that most people who have jumped out of the lower class will not take, or to be more direct, even if they take it, it is difficult for them to walk out as human beings.
Just like Bashu, Bashu's son, and Bashu's grandson.
After all, humans suffer for a better future, not for continuous suffering. The path of smelting is essentially a more difficult path than the path of martial arts. Only this more difficult and harder path will not be snatched away by the descendants of those big men.
The descendants of great men, if given a choice, would choose to endure hardships simply because of a brighter future. However, most people, regardless of class, are actually mediocre and useless. Very few of them truly focus on their ideals and the future. Such people are elites no matter which class they are in. Even if they are of humble origins, all they lack after their persistent efforts is opportunities.
On the other hand, what most normal people in all classes actually do is just eat and wait for death. The only difference is that different classes have different ways of eating and waiting for death. Those in higher classes have created a style for eating and waiting for death, and with a layer of filter, it looks a bit interesting!
Therefore, there exists such a bitter and difficult upward route, which is truly reserved for ordinary people, because all those who have walked this road looking back will never walk it again if they have a choice.
As for those easy and enjoyable things that take shortcuts, they were never prepared for ordinary people. Chen Xi had thought about leaving some better upward channels or something, but later Chen Xi chose to continue with the previous ones, but just to make the operations as open and fair as possible. After all, reality has taught Chen Xi a lesson many times - ordinary people do not have an easy way to go.
However, Chen Xi still left behind some seemingly useless methods, such as asking Huangfu Song to make detailed structural changes to talent refining, and the conscription system that has been restarted for ten years.
The significance of the former is beyond doubt, and the significance of the latter has been described in detail in the late Western Han Dynasty. Do you understand how outrageous the peasant soldiers who can use classic infantry tactics, such as the Red Eyebrows, the Green Forest Army, and even the coordination between infantry and cavalry are?
There are no small fry, all of them are well-trained regular soldiers. Even a farmer is a regular soldier who has completed full military service!
From Chen Xi's point of view, human nature is a very important existence. It is the self's compassion for the outside world. But compared to human nature, animal nature is more important, because it represents the self's ability to resist everything in the outside world. Without the latter, everything is meaningless!
This is also the reason why Chen Xi thinks Kusroyi is worthy of being a hero - I am not sure what path you will take in the future, but this power can give you room for choice in the future. It is not the world that forces you, but you who choose the world!
Chen Xi's final treatment of ordinary people is actually no different from Kusroyi's treatment of Dalits in terms of core essence. Both of them give power. At most, Chen Xi has more knowledge, does a more complete job, and has better control, but it does not trigger deeper conflicts.
But, in essence, they are all the same, they all give us the power to choose our destiny. This power may not be too strong, but if we continue to move forward on this heavy and painful road, this power will naturally provide us with the opportunity to choose our destiny.
What's more, Chen Xi actually has a plan that has not yet been implemented, a plan that Chen Xi has observed for ten years and finally determined can be handed over to Zhuge Liang.
A plan that could expand that power even further.
This plan is called the command system extended from multiple smeltings.
This is an assignment, and it is the backup plan that Chen Xi must hand over to Zhuge Liang next. It is the backup plan necessary for Zhuge Liang to attain the Four Saints level and suppress other inevitable noises of the times. It is also the authority for Zhuge Liang to replace Chen Xi as Xinyue.
After completing this, as long as Chen Xi does not confront Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang will be the new saint. The scene in which Chen Xi overwhelmed all beings will reappear on Zhuge Liang. Moreover, unlike Chen Xi who relied on internal affairs to demonstrate his invincible military strength, Zhuge Liang will use the military power of the Four Saints to demonstrate his invincible internal affairs ability!
He could not carry on the legacy left by Chen Xi. Indeed, even a genius like Zhuge Liang would find it difficult to carry on the great cause left by Chen Xi when a group of people were secretly holding him back.
If no one dares to hold Zhuge Liang back, can Zhuge Liang complete the task left by Chen Xi? Of course he can!
So the test paper had the answer all along, but everyone thought there was no answer, so they were waiting for Chen Xi to step down from the altar, and then they attacked Chen Xi's successor and found out Chen Xi's mistakes, causing the plate that was originally possible to be caught to become completely uncatchable.
But what if Zhuge Liang was one of the Four Sages? What if Zhuge Liang could control the military power and develop a new system, possessing the ability to directly kill everyone? Or to be more direct, Zhuge Liang directly demonstrated the power to wash the world in blood after a military parade?
Just like Chen Xi back then, in this situation, Zhuge Liang whispered that he was willing to talk to everyone, and everyone obeyed his orders obediently. What would be the reaction of others?
Will choose to talk!
Because the previous lonely moon had already given them a beating, and this lonely moon had already cast its full shadow in the mirror, even if others had some ideas, they would think twice before taking action.
As long as he took that step back, Zhuge Liang would win. After he reached an agreement with Chen Xi in Yecheng and the aristocratic families of the world, he had actually already won. All he needed was time for the aristocratic families to stop making trouble and just watch from the sidelines to see how the other side performed. Then he would have no chance again.
However, after careful observation over the years, Chen Xi confirmed that Zhuge Liang was indeed that perfect man. Even though he was still young, he was still nearly perfect.
Ten years was enough time for Chen Xi to finalize everything. The next thing to do was to hand the plan over to Zhuge Liang, who would gradually improve it over the next ten years.
If it succeeds, Zhuge Liang will have a smooth future. If it fails, he will be in great trouble.
Looking at Qiu Linnian below who was beginning to break through his internal energy and leave his body, Chen Xi vaguely glanced at Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang seemed to have noticed something and nodded slightly.
Chen Xi smiled and nodded upon seeing this, then he couldn't help but look at Sima Yi and lamented in his heart. He had given Sima Yi many opportunities, and even wanted to give Sima Yi a decent arrangement because the Sima brothers had presented gifts at his wedding. Unfortunately, Sima Yi understood part of it but still refused. Now that things had come to this, he could only let Zhuge Liang continue as prime minister.
"Do you need me to take action?" Hua Xiong looked at Qiu Linnian, who had already begun to connect the inside and outside and was about to make a breakthrough, with great interest, and turned to Liu Bei and said.
"We haven't reached that stage yet, and there has always been talk about the issue of advanced smelting and breaking through the inner qi leaving the body. This time it's just for reference." Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Let's see if the combat effectiveness of the top six smelting breakthrough inner qi leaving the body decreases or increases."
"It seems that the Huns are not incapable of breaking through the internal energy leaving the body. It is indeed strange that none of this elite group of people can do so. What's more, it would be ok for the captain of a thousand cavalry to be at the sixth level of smelting, but it is very strange for the captain of ten thousand cavalry to be at the same level as well." Zhu Jun asked with a frown.
This is not a question of qualification or not, but a more realistic question. Unless this elite who has undergone sixfold smelting is more suitable for command than the one with the legion's talent of internal energy leaving the body, in any case, someone who has undergone sixfold smelting should not be the commander of ten thousand cavalry.
But if the elite who have undergone the sixth level of smelting are more suitable for commanders than those who have the talent of legionary internal energy, then they should not appear here. Such people are truly the treasures of the country, and even the Huns would not waste them in such a place.
After all, if the army is divided into levels, command is always the core of the highest level, followed by various elites with supermodel powers. The latter are just powerful pawns of the former. This is also the reason why most veterans with command capabilities soon no longer appear on the front line.
Regardless of which empire it is, guys who can command 1,800 men to fight for their lives on the battlefield are quite rare in terms of proportion. The limit of most people is to control five fronts, and then they lose sight of one while focusing on another. For those who can serve as commanders, this is a foundation that must be crossed.
Therefore, it seemed very strange to Zhu Jun that Qiu Linnian, an elite Hun soldier, could break through and leave his body with internal energy, and was also the leader of a thousand cavalrymen with certain command capabilities, but he did not choose to break through.
"Old General, we have been to the inner side of the world. Didn't you notice that there are certain problems with the essence of heaven and earth in the inner side of the world? It is very difficult to break through the internal energy and leave the body in a human manner there." Zhao Yun explained to Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun was confused when he heard this, and everyone else turned their heads to look at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was stunned and asked, "So you don't know?"
"Don't you know?" Zhao Yun asked as he looked at the group of people looking at him.
"Know what?" Chen Xi asked with a depressed look on his face. You didn't even tell us such important information. You really don't know the importance of the information.
"Isn't this something you can directly feel once you enter the inner side of a world?" Zhao Yun asked in confusion, "The heaven and earth essence there is poisonous, can't you feel it?"
A group of people all shook their heads, and another group said that they had never been there, so how could they know such things?
"It is precisely because there is some strange stuff in the essence of heaven and earth inside the world that many strange phenomena occur. For example, if you eat too many things inside the world, you will not be able to leave the world. For example, you will be affected if you live here for a long time. These are essentially caused by the essence of heaven and earth inside the world." Zhao Yun looked like he had seen a ghost. Isn't this really something that can be detected once you go in?
Not really. There are only a handful of people in this world who can notice this after entering the inner world. It is really impossible for others to notice it.
After more than 30 years of struggling inside the world, Tian and other Xiongnu backbones have vaguely determined that there is a problem with the essence of heaven and earth inside the world, which in turn causes problems with everything inside the world, but they are unable to solve this problem.
Zhao Yun only entered and exited the world once or twice before he realized this. To be honest, the one with the problem was Zhao Yun. Some things can be taken for granted as being well known. In fact, the problem should not be placed on those who don't know, but on those who know it instantly.
"No one has said anything about it, and I haven't found any relevant information when I looked up the data." Chen Xi looked around and saw everyone's expressions. Lu Bu who didn't care about anything, Guan Yu who was cold and arrogant, and Zhang Fei who was indifferent. It was obvious that no one knew about this thing.
"Well, I thought this kind of thing was well known." Zhao Yun laughed dryly, and then continued to explain, "So in this world, it is basically impossible to break through the internal qi leaving the body by refining qi into gang. Because the limit of human range is the peak of refining qi into gang, and internal qi leaving the body, breaking through the limit of human beings, is a matter of another field."
There is an essential difference between internal Qi leaving the body and refining Qi into Gang. This difference is not just a matter of combat power, but a deeper difference in the essence of life. When internal Qi leaves the body, it has a super strong adaptability to the external environment, has an amazing recovery ability, and has all kinds of resistance, which completely transcends human existence.
More importantly, the process of refining Qi into Gang and achieving internal Qi leaving the body is a very short period of time, and is completely different from breaking through the fifth level of smelting to the sixth level. The sublimation of the essence of life is a kind of rapid change. This is also the case when the essence of heaven and earth is insufficient in the early days. To advance to the stage of internal Qi leaving the body, one must have a belief to anchor oneself and ensure the stability of the mind and will after the promotion.
This is also why the early days of internal Qi leaving the body were extremely terrifying in actual combat, because their promotion was all through self-examination, and they were controlling the essence of life to sublimate in the direction they needed. In the later period, when the essence of heaven and earth came up, this link was basically gone, and the sublimation of the essence of life depended entirely on instinct.
On the contrary, the life essence improved from the fifth level to the sixth level, although far inferior to the process of refining Qi into Gang to internal Qi leaving the body, it is slow and steady, and during the period, one constantly adjusts oneself with one's own will. Finally, the life essence sublimated is closer to those early internal Qi leaving the body.
However, due to the small amount, it is not obvious in actual combat. But the fact that it can fight against conventional internal qi out-of-body techniques is actually enough to explain many problems. This is a difference in the essence of life. It can only be said that in terms of controllability, the sixth-level smelting is better than most of the internal qi out-of-body techniques that are promoted in the later stage.
As for the seven-fold smelting, in terms of the essence of life, there is basically not much difference compared to the internal energy leaving the body. However, the life essence of the seven-fold smelting is all guided by itself and sublimated in the direction it needs. In other words, their path is closer to the route of the group of tough guys at Hulao Pass.
This is also the key reason why most internal qi leaving the body cannot pass the seventh level, because in the later stages of internal qi leaving the body, they basically just follow the essence of heaven and earth to advance internal qi leaving the body, and in this process, they do not rely on their own transcendental beliefs and will to integrate their own life essence in the direction they need.
However, if we talk about the difference between the two, the people at Hulao Pass basically forced themselves to improve and complete this task in an instant, while the people at the seventh level of smelting had to spend almost twenty years or even more time to reach this level.
On the other hand, this group of people did not advance to the stage of internal energy leaving the body when their strength reached the limit in the later stage, which was also due to some subconscious constraints - their life essence has become more suitable for the current combat system after decades of improvement and optimization. If they choose to advance to the stage of internal energy leaving the body, their current optimized things may not be able to provide the same extreme combat power as before.
Even though they are both directed at improving combat effectiveness, there are still some differences inside. And if we talk about the limits, this difference can sometimes be quite fatal.
"I roughly understand what the situation is." Liu Bei nodded slightly. Although Zhao Yun did not give a direct answer, his explanation was quite thorough.
"If there is no problem with the essence of heaven and earth, it is dangerous to step from the scope of human limit to the scope of transcending humanity, but as long as you are prepared, it will be fine. However, if there is a problem with the essence of heaven and earth, taking this step will directly turn you from human to non-human." Lu Bu gave an explanation casually, "That is the so-called alienation, and you may even lose yourself."
"Yes, that's what I mean. So if the Huns have always been on the inside of this world, they should not be able to have internal energy leaving their bodies." Zhao Yun nodded, agreeing with Lu Bu's statement.
"Is this only possible after one has refined the Qi into a Gang and the internal Qi has left the body?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
"There is actually no very profound change in essence between internal energy leaving the body and breaking through the realm. The latter is more of a strengthening process for the former, a process of breaking perfection and then reshaping perfection, while the process of refining Qi into Gang to internal energy leaving the body is directly the process of a person sublimating into a superman." Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "The problem is that if you can't achieve internal energy leaving the body, you can't achieve breaking through the realm. The Xiongnu is stuck."
In fact, it was exactly the same as what Zhao Yun said. Among the group of Huns in the other side of the world, there were elite people who had tried to break through the internal Qi leaving the body in the past thirty years. After all, these people were basically the elites selected by Hu Yanchu, and they all had some talent.
Relying on the accumulation of time and the cruel environment inside the world, about twenty-five years ago, a group of elite Huns reached the peak of Qi Refining. At that time, Tian had not yet realized that the inside of the world was a cage of exile and that there was a force that would wear oneself down. He just felt that the living environment inside was really bad and it was so difficult to get food.
However, the Huns' tenacious survival ability allowed them to withstand such difficulties, especially the time difference and the existence of the Xia Dynasty relics. Tien even thought that the inside world was an opportunity given to the Huns by God. With this place, it wouldn't be long before the Huns could return to the surface with a large number of manpower.
That’s right, Tien really thought so at the time. After all, no matter how cruel the living environment is, it will not be worse than the endless pursuit by the Han Dynasty.
It's almost the 11th anniversary, what fun should we have?
