The number of Yangcheng practitioners increased again.

At night, when Lin Tuo confirmed this through the sand table, there was no fluctuation in his heart.

This is as it should be.

As early as a few days ago, he had already guessed that as the number of Breath Technique practitioners was steadily increasing, the attention involved in the Oasis and Pacific events faded, and the value of the Breath Technique would definitely be valued.

The only question is how the upper echelons view it.

Now, the result is out.

The opening of the school curriculum is a very clear signal. According to experience, the pilot project, once successful, will surely usher in a nationwide promotion.

Of course, it will take some time.

As for why the student group was selected as the pilot, according to Lin Tuo’s conjecture, one is to facilitate the collection and management of data, and the other is that the data he obtained from the sand table observation shows that the young student group is far more advantageous than other age groups in practice. .

"It's this self-cultivation hall...Could it be that the country already knows that physical exercise can speed up the absorption of ether?"

Lin Tuo thought secretly and decided to observe for a while.

In addition, an interesting finding is that there is almost no news on the Internet about the Yangcheng pilot project.

Except for some local group chats in Yangcheng, there are discussions in the community.

The outside world, major social media, platforms, and collective silence are as if they were deliberately blocking news.

...

...

In the next few days, Lin Tuo's life was very regular, Huaxi was already familiar with the boxing table, and Lin Tuo began to teach her some skills gradually.

The study of magic books progressed steadily, through which he had a clearer understanding of the use of the power of the ether and the deep principles.

This unexpectedly made his control of Huabingquan much more refined.

On the Internet, there are still not many news about cultivation, but in Yangcheng, it has become a common practice. Once in a park, you can see many people meditating together.

Daily greetings have also evolved from "did you eat?" to "did you practice?"

Compared to the "calm" of reality, the sand table is changing with each passing day.

...

"The human race is expanding." In the early morning, when Lin Tuo came to the sand table and leaned down, he saw that on the northern and southern continents, the sphere of human influence was further expanding.

Originally, although the Draé Kingdom and the rest of the nations, large and small, had a firm foothold, there were still a lot of places on this continent that had not been excavated.

Especially remote mountains, forests, river valleys... If the plains belong to humans, then the vast forests are the paradise of "Warcraft".

As humans evolve, the mutant beasts that were transferred to the past are also reproducing.

"Huh." Gently blowing away the floating clouds above the sand table, Lin Tuo's eyes swept across the mountains and the earth, visible to the naked eye, the area of ​​several forests ruled by monsters began to shrink.

The scale of human cities is expanding.

Of course, an eternal war is inevitable in the process.

When Lin Tuo observed for a short time, he saw smoke of gunpowder in the territory of the Kingdom of Drei, and wars filled.

Open the running log and flip forward, as expected:

[The first year of the world evolvement... In the first year of the evolution of the world, the church headquarters of the Kingdom of Delais was destroyed, and the religious power fell to the bottom. Within a month, the then king issued thirteen government orders to rebuild the church and weaken the religious power. The countries of the northern continent followed... …Following this, the teaching power has a name but no reality, and it becomes a vassal of the royal power...]

[However, the rise and fall of the dynasty has its own determinants, and the resumption of the religious power created the final glory of the Drei Kingdom. Since then, the old king has become increasingly faint, the court is in chaos, the power of local lords has risen, and the external nations are all around]

[After 38 years of the reign of the contemporary king, he suddenly encountered illness and died overnight. The domestic turmoil. The duke of the south became independent and proclaimed himself a duchy. In two years, the duke of the east and the north joined forces to rebel and attacked the royal capital. The civil war started, only five years later. In the month of the month, the royal family was buried in the sea of ​​fire, and the Kingdom of Dray disintegrated

[But the war did not end there. The disintegration of the old dynasty meant the birth of a new dynasty. In the following 11 years, the Northern Continent was in turmoil and various kingdoms and principalities annexed each other.]

[During the process, the power of the wizard gradually weakened, and the reduction of natural talents finally made this force completely withdraw from the stage of history. Instead, it was based on the cultivation method and the magic developed into the branch of the extraordinary power]

[At the same time as the human wizards dissipated, in the distant ocean, the sea tribe group that gained cultivation abilities was rapidly expanding]

[At the same time, the Southern Continent, which was originally chaotic and lacking a unified political power, has undergone a series of changes. The descendants of the apocalyptic wandering in ancient times, the rise of the Dingnan Li family, who inherited the "ancient surname", was named Dingnan. Wang, in eighteen years, swept the Southern Continent, established a unified regime, controlled North-South trade, and opened trade ports... The population of the Southern Continent expanded rapidly]

...

[At the time of political changes in the North and South continents, between the two continents, in the area of ​​Jiudalian Island where extraordinary power is scarce, navigation and shipbuilding technologies are developing rapidly. Human interest in the ocean is increasing day by day. The group of adventurers blows out. With the support, we will go deep into the ocean, expand the chart, find islands and products... the era of great navigation begins]

...

Lishan, in the study.

The sun was just right in the early morning, and Lin Tuo looked at the newest one at the end of the logbook, which had information about the "Great Navigation Era", and fell silent.

When he turned his gaze on Jiudalian Island, the "zoom" function was turned on, and the entire sand table continent quickly opened up. With nine large islands as the skeleton, hundreds of small islands are scattered, and the area of ​​the north-south axis suddenly becomes clear.

Lin Tuo looked at the large ports. Under the effect of time acceleration, like a time-lapse photography, the densely packed dock workers work day and night like time-lapse photography, just like hard-working workers. Large ships headed toward the depths of the ocean without fear of death.

Many of them deviated from the course and sank in storms and rocks.

Some also return to land before the supplies are exhausted.

But the overall trend is getting deeper and closer to the "boundary" of the sandbox.

"Sure enough... when technology develops to this stage, exploring the world is inevitable." Lin Tuo looked down at the "fastest" ship that was also the closest to the border.

With time accelerating, Lin Tuo is not sure how long it has been sailing, but it can be observed on a macro scale, which is already an extremely rare event.

Without paying attention, he has already traveled to the depths of the storm sea, and is about to reach the end of the world.

"No, you have to do something... at least, delay the time they find the boundary of the sandbox." With the experience of Sandbox No. 1, Lin Tuo didn't dare to care about it.

After thinking for a while, he slowly leaned over and breathed hard towards the edge of the sandbox, the isolation hood area.

Because there is no acceleration of the closing time, this tone is enough to set off a storm that lasts for several years and decades.

...

...

In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, a huge black box is quietly embedded on the earth's surface, covering the sea and sealing a large area under the ocean.

It is so quiet that it is as silent as the surrounding islands that have existed for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even longer.

However, the black box is facing east, inside.

On the boundless ocean, there is a weather-beaten ship, unswervingly driving towards the "border".

...

"Boom!"

The climate on the ocean is always weird and changeable, especially in the sea of ​​storms.

Perhaps the last second was still sunny, and the next second was clouded.

At this moment, the sky is full of dark clouds, the sea is raging gusts, electric snakes are shining, turbulent waves are rolling, and between the sky and the earth, there is a dark, as if even the sea water has become turbid mud.

On the sea, a weather-beaten vessel is shaking violently with the waves.

Its masts have all been lowered to minimize the impact of wind, and only the navigation lights fixed on the top of the cabin release the last glimmer of light.

On the deck, the chief officer fixed himself with a rope, holding on to the handrail, with a frightened expression:

"Captain! It looks like a hurricane belt ahead!"

"No, the climate in this sea area is too weird!"

"If you continue to sail, it is too dangerous!"

Those who can support this place are all experienced crew members. Along the way, we have encountered dangerous scenes many times. However, feeling the extremely fierce storm in the sea ahead, they also gave birth to fear. mood.

Return home!

Must return home!

Moving forward, their ship is likely to be torn to pieces by the hurricane!

However, the "Captain" standing at the forefront just clung to the fence with one hand, his body was fixed like a nail, and his right hand pressed a single telescope on the sunken eye socket.

Through the lens barrel, he could clearly see the huge tornado that stretched across the entire sea in the gray sky and earth ahead.

They don't know where they come from, like mountains that are difficult to climb, completely blocking the road ahead.

Even powerful transcendents cannot move forward in this environment.

The most important thing is that, according to his observations, this storm zone does not seem to be accidental, but a continuous existence, day and night, covering a very wide area.

There is no possibility of bypassing.

"Just return like this?" Standing in the wind and waves, the captain didn't seem to hear the thunder, or the shouts of the men behind him. There was only this thought in his mind.

As the most "crazy", bravest, and most experienced and adventurous navigator on Jiudalian Island, he has a paranoia that ordinary people can't understand.

In the past few decades, he has tried to go out to sea five times. The first four were all accidents halfway through and he was forced to stop.

Now, he is over fifty years old, even if he cultivates since childhood, his body is stronger than ordinary people, but the hidden diseases accumulated on his body are about to be overwhelmed.

It can be said that this is his last voyage.

Once you give up, there is no hope.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man silently put down the telescope, and said, "Go on!"

"What? Captain you..."

"I said, continue!"

In the silence, I don't know how long it has passed, and how many psychological struggles they have experienced. These confidant crew members said nothing, holding the determination to see death as home, silently adjusting the ship, and sailing straight ahead.

"Crack!"

Just after the ship reluctantly pushed forward several hundred meters, this old sea ship was finally overwhelmed, shattered, cracked, and broken into countless planks under the torn of two waves.

The only a dozen people left on the boat also exclaimed and fell into the ocean.

"Are you going to die..."

The same thought arose in their hearts, and the next second, a long and gentle sound echoed in their ears, as if the singing of sea water hitting the beach.
