Fu Xuan: "But this is the most difficult point."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Teacher, please come with me."

Xu Qing took Fu Xuan to a flat road in Jiangning Prefecture.

Even someone as knowledgeable as Fu Xuan, a Martial Saint, couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.

Because he saw something akin to the legendary Qin rails, and it was not a horse-drawn carriage running on the tracks, but a giant mechanized vehicle without any animals, moving along the rails, spewing massive flames and smoke, as if it came from the Demon Realm.

Fu Xuan's eyesight was exceptionally keen and naturally discerned that the motive power of this giant mechanized vehicle came from burning coal.

What a clever design.

It's like human cultivation, obtaining continuous power through eating and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

The key is that the human body is easily worn out, whereas a mechanized vehicle can be rebuilt at any time once it's worn out.

In essence, there is no difference between it and those farming tools or waterwheels.

The popularization of mechanisms is much easier than the popularization of cultivation.

The mechanized vehicle in front of us moves at a very slow speed, yet it's enormous, able to carry more goods than an ordinary carriage. Moreover, livestock have to worry about cold or hot weather, as well as various plagues, while mechanisms do not. Furthermore, this coal can also be used to warm the army.

Imagine, with coal and such giant mechanized vehicles, even if the grassland weather turns cold as autumn sets in, the Central Earth's army can still advance through wind and snow, with conditions much better than the grassland army. When a confrontation occurs, the morale of both sides would be worlds apart.

Xu Qing said, "These two things have just begun. To lay down tracks across the grasslands and manufacture these mechanized vehicles would require a long period, perhaps years or decades. But with the resources and manpower of the Central Plains, achieving this is only a matter of time."

Back then, the Qin State could build many tracks, let alone now.

Although there are many technical difficulties at present, as well as issues with steel production and component manufacturing, they can all be resolved through development.

Moreover, solving these problems also helps digest excess labor force.

With these things, many places that the Central Plains Dynasties couldn't expand into or exert control over can be further advanced.

Fu Xuan deeply understood that with these things, the Central Plains Dynasty seemed like a martial arts expert, having unblocked meridians, the Qi-Blood would flow more smoothly and constantly grow its own strength.

In the past, people said Central Earth was the Heavenly Dynasty.

This was somewhat the bragging of the Central Earth people.

But Fu Xuan, at this moment, believed that under Xu Qing's leadership, Central Earth would eventually become a paradise on earth.

The conquest of the grasslands was inevitable, but it might not be a bad thing.

Even if Fu Xuan regained the pinnacle of being a Martial Saint, facing such a general trend, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

Because he could stop destruction for a time, but he couldn't stop this torrent from crushing the grassland.

It's not as if Central Earth lacks top-level martial power.

Moreover, if Xu Qing truly relies on these things to improve the lives of the grassland people, stopping it would be equivalent to going against the right path.

Xu Qing gently said again, "Mr. Fu, if you assist me in conquering the grasslands, and in the future, they lead good lives, they will all be grateful to you. If you stop me, they will still be conquered by us in the future and then lead good lives; at that time, they won't regard you as a hero. Because I will write a book that will clearly explain the grievances of this historical period in plain language, thoroughly explaining who is right or wrong, and ordinary citizens will have it clear in their hearts."

This comment could be said to both kill and drive the heart.

Fu Xuan suddenly realized that even though he was a Martial Saint, it was almost impossible for him to prevent Xu Gongming from accomplishing anything.

This person was too terrifying.

His power of deterrence lay not only in his martial force but also in his profound insight into human nature, or more precisely, into human desires.

Buddhism speaks of grand ambitions, which are just pie-in-the-sky promises, yet if the threshold is low enough, they can still attract endless wealth and followers.

Xu Gongming not only paints a picture but also genuinely provides satisfaction.

One could say, in some aspects, Xu Gongming has surpassed the Buddha in his time.

Buddhism, lacking capabilities, thus speaks of the afterlife.

Xu Qing aims to fulfill people's material desires in the present world, which is evidently superior.

Fu Xuan: "Xu Gongming, I am willing to help you, hoping that fewer people will die in the future."

Since it can't be stopped, just join honestly.

He also hoped to do something meaningful with his remaining time.

After Fu Xuan finished speaking, he truly felt a sense of relief, as if the world suddenly became much broader.

He no longer held psychological resistance to serving Xu Gongming, even if it meant potentially harming the grasslands in the future. Nor did he have that feeling of complex ambivalence.

He was indirectly saving his homeland, saving those ordinary herders who respected him.

He no longer harbored illusions about the Great Khan and those grassland rulers because they were unworthy!

Xu Qing, hearing this, smiled: "Previously, when I belittled those insights of yours, it was indeed my fault, Mr. Fu. Now I sincerely ask you to teach me about these matters, and I hope you will guide me."

He wasn't speaking out of politeness.

Because the premise of the Heavenly Demon Technique using Tai Chu Demon Qi for the Heavenly Demon Transformation is that the deeper the understanding of the object of transformation, the better, and it also requires the person's aura, essence, and blood.

Only then can the Heavenly Demon Technique fully manifest the Heavenly Demon Transformation.

With Fu Xuan's help, Xu Qing can fully transform into a Martial Saint through the Heavenly Demon Transformation.

This is also a necessary attempt to perfect the Heavenly Demon Technique.

If Fu Xuan didn't cooperate, Xu Qing would have to seek the cooperation of Xiong Chan and the Great Yu's Twin Saints, which might not yield as good results since they definitely wouldn't willingly cooperate with Xu Qing.

It can be said that Fu Xuan's arrival, though not delivering charcoal in snowy weather, is much stronger than adding flowers to brocade.

This is because Fu Xuan was ostracized and extremely weakened, allowing Xu Qing to "convert" him.

No matter how strong a being is, when they are vulnerable, their mind becomes fragile, which provides an opportunity for Xu Qing's Heavenly Demon Skill.

This is also called concentrating superior forces to break through the opponent's weakest point.

With Fu Xuan's cooperation, Xu Qing's Heavenly Demon Technique improves by leaps and bounds.

It must be said that having a Martial Saint actively cooperating with Xu Qing's Heavenly Demon Transformation benefits Xu Qing immensely.

Because only after personally undergoing the Heavenly Demon Transformation of a Martial Saint can Xu Qing identify the shortcomings of the Heavenly Demon Technique he created. Moreover, in this process, he gained a deeper understanding of the nature of Tai Chu Demon Qi.

Tai Chu Demon Qi, like a clear mirror, reflects all forms of life into my own form.

This process is extremely complex and perilous, even with Fu Xuan's cooperation, Xu Qing almost lost himself several times, becoming enmeshed in Fu Xuan's memories and confusing them with his own.

This is the most dangerous aspect of the Heavenly Demon Technique's Heavenly Demon Transformation.

Without Tai Shi Demon Qi's focused self, merely indulging in Tai Chu Demon Qi cultivation, no matter how high Xu Qing's realm or strength becomes, he would ultimately just be one of the illusory heavenly demons, unable to become a true Demon Lord.

By using Tai Chu Demon Qi to command the Ten Thousand Forms and Tai Shi Demon Qi to maintain oneself, this is the true "Heavenly Demon Right Path."

On the other hand, the transformation of a Martial Saint through the Heavenly Demon Technique requires a large amount of Tai Chu Demon Qi, and the duration of maintenance is limited. Xu Qing needs to continuously accumulate Tai Chu Demon Qi to fully unleash the divine skills of the Heavenly Demon Transformation.

And the accumulation and growth of Tai Chu Demon Qi is by feeding on the mortal world and drinking human desires as wine.

Without the cultivation of the bustling mortal world, he would not be able to accumulate much Tai Chu Demon Qi.

The cultivation of Tai Shi Demon Qi, on the contrary, is more like the spiritual cultivation of Taoists and Buddhists and does not rely on the mortal world.

In conclusion, the cultivation of Tai Chu Demon Qi is tangible and visible, while Tai Shi Demon Qi is profound and mysterious.

Fu Xuan also benefited greatly from his interactions with Xu Qing.

Because he always felt that Xu Qing, in the process, seemed like another self. Sometimes, the words he spoke felt like a spring breeze, precisely scratching the itch in Fu Xuan's heart, making him unconsciously feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.

It's rare to meet a kindred spirit in life.

Fu Xuan only realized this until now.

His emotions were greatly soothed.

He even couldn't bear to leave Xu Qing.
