Demons are born from demons, humans are born from humans. But Meng Wanwan was born from her father.
On the path of cultivation, there are Body Refining, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishm...
This time, only the younger ones went out of the space. Meng Xiuyi was left inside to watch the books that Nian Nian took out when Meng Wanwan broke through to the Golden Core stage.
After all these years, the younger ones may have gotten older and no longer be recognized by others.
But Meng Xiuyi hasn't changed at all over the years.
Anyway, this space is something they carry with them. Apart from not being able to go out, what's the difference between them and their peers?
When Meng Wanwan stepped onto the land of the Nine Realms Continent again, she felt as if she had been transported to another world.
Although the space is filled with spiritual energy, comparable to a top-grade spiritual vein, and resources for food, drink, and cultivation are plentiful, the actual living environment is quite limited.
Naturally, it cannot compare to the vast world of the Nine Realms Continent.
To make things easier, the five people split into two groups.
Meng Wanwan and Yun Zhaochuyou formed a pair, becoming a senior-sister duo of spiritual cultivators.
Congying and Lanqiao then formed a master-disciple duo of malevolent cultivators.
Yun Zhao's hometown is in the north of the Nine Realms Continent, a place known as the Yuebei Land.
The northern lands are a place with only two seasons: summer and winter. Spiritual veins are extremely scarce there, with only one large one occupied by the Chongyang Palace. Centered on the Chongyang Palace, there are no other sects or aristocratic families within a radius of a thousand miles.
It's easy to imagine how desolate that place must have been.
Yun Zhao said, "It is said that this place has not always been so desolate."
Meng Wanwan chimed in: "Is it related to the war between gods and demons?"
Yun Zhao chuckled: "No, I just heard it's related to the Calamity Body."
Meng Wanwan...
Niannian jumped off Meng Wanwan's shoulder and spoke: "According to records of the Yuebei region, there were indeed several small spiritual veins in the past. Above these small spiritual veins were several small sects and aristocratic families, which were once affiliated with Chongyang Palace."
"Legend has it that the land of Yuebei is the closest place to miracles, and Chongyang Palace is the place watched by the gods. Therefore, Chongyang Palace has been given the name of 'Final Covenant'. This means that Chongyang Palace can convey the divine revelation of the gods in miracles. The so-called divine revelation cannot be disobeyed by the mortals. Those who disobey will break the covenant and will suffer annihilation. That is why it is called 'Final Covenant'."
After Nian Nian reached the Golden Core stage from Meng Wanwan, she was able to speak in front of people.
The Meng family was already used to Niannian's existence; it was no secret.
Therefore, Niannian can now speak freely in front of them without hesitation.
Now they have entered the forest in the northern region, and only when there is no one around did Nian Nian dare to run out.
Meng Wanwan asked, "Do you have any information about the reasons for the disappearance of those small spiritual veins?"
Niannian: "No."
Yun Zhao: "According to Wawa's previous guess, Nian Nian has no information about the period after the war between gods and demons. If that's the case, does that mean this place is so desolate because of the war between gods and demons?"
Meng Wanwan was eager to try: "If that's the case, that would be the best. The truth we want to uncover is probably related to that so-called war between gods and demons."
"Unfortunately, everyone knows that the demon in the war between gods and demons came from the Bai family, but no one knows who it really is."
She clenched her fists, determined to visit the Bai family if she had the chance.
The fact that the Bai family has Han family blood is indeed a clue.
It's impossible that Sister Ting married into the family, had children, and then became a demon, right?
Meng Wanwan quickly shook her head; this speculation was hard for her to accept.
Could someone as gentle as Zhu Ting become a demon?
The five people have been out of the space for five hours now.
This area may be described as desolate, but that only applies to its spiritual energy.
It has little to do with how lush the plants are.
It's late summer now, and the whole forest is lush and green, with some common animals hopping around. There are also common fruits, enough to fill one's stomach.
Yun Zhao found a relatively flat spot and said, "It's getting dark soon, let's rest here for the night."
Cong Ying hurriedly put the food she had gathered on the ground, complaining, "We're a sect now, we can't be so stingy. I had to carry all this food in my skirt, it was so tiring. When will you pull off a big heist and save up some resources to buy me a storage bag?"
The Meng family is good in every way, except they are too poor.
Meng Wanwan handed her storage bag to Congying: "Sister Congying, take it. I don't really need it anyway."
Her only two valuable possessions were on her person: her robes and her weapon.
Sigh, a poor father means a poor family.
Cong Ying added, "We agreed before to find some demonic beasts to bring back. Don't forget, our huge forest is still empty."
Chu You quickly agreed, "Okay, okay."
Cong Ying was satisfied this time; the head steward had finally put on a show of authority.
So, the things that needed to be done had to be done.
Life, barbecue.
Although it's just ordinary meat, it still tastes delicious.
Perhaps because they have lived in this world for so long, the Meng family members are very adapted to the life of ordinary people. They do not like fasting unless absolutely necessary.
They are happy even with ordinary food.
The diligent Cong Ying made roasted meat with ordinary rabbit meat and juiced wild fruits. She went back to her space, took out some of her usual tableware, and brought some food for Meng Xiuyi in the space.
The recipes Meng Wanwan gave us were truly amazing.
The aroma of roasted meat soon filled the surrounding area, spreading further with the wisps of smoke.
Cong Ying arranged the quilts for them, poured them juice, and the group clinked glasses.
Meng Wanwan exhaled a sour breath, feeling refreshed and in a good mood.
Look at life. Although the road ahead may be uncertain, the present moment is still wonderful, isn't it?
After eating and drinking their fill, the five men huddled around the fire and went to sleep.
They do not meditate in the wild. Being disturbed would not benefit their spiritual practice.
So the four of them surrounded Meng Wanwan and fell asleep together.
Inside the space, Meng Xiuyi was meditating.
The medium placed beside him sent another message.
"Baby, when are you going to talk to me? It's been five years, what have you been doing? I've received a new assignment, I have to go to northern Vietnam, I don't know if I'll be back before the Buddhist festival. Are you going to the Buddhist festival?"
Meng Xiuyi slowly opened her eyes.
The next morning, when Congying came in to bring him food, Meng Xiuyi told her the news and asked her to pass it on to Meng Wanwan.
Helian Xiao did not reveal the Helian family's attitude towards the Han family's creation of the Lianli Corpse through the medium, which is why he does not dare to fully trust Helian Xiao now.
Therefore, he will not reply to this message.
However, he will inform Meng Wanwan of this information.
Meng Xiuyi knew that Meng Wanwan would think things through carefully.
After hearing this news, Meng Wanwan indeed had an idea.
"Originally, I was planning to investigate the truth of the matter after this trip, but since I've already arrived."
She looked at the others and gave them a bright smile.
"Let's do it together then."
