Chapter 606 A Passerby in a Fictional Dynasty (14)

The grotto-heavens, driven by instinct, began to absorb the spiritual energy within. In addition, the sect members had been too hasty in hiding in the grotto-heavens and had prepared too few spirit stones. This led to the world within the grotto-heavens becoming the end of the Dharma era. In this way, thousands of years passed, and there were no more cultivators in the grotto-heavens.

Logically speaking, if you can't cultivate, you can't cultivate. Can't you just live a normal life as an ordinary person? But once some people have been high above others, how can they accept falling to the dust? Although they have lost their cultivation, they still have magical artifacts, which they can use to enslave those ordinary people who originally existed.

However, the grotto-heaven has never been replenished with spiritual energy, so it has been shrinking. While the area of ​​the grotto-heaven is shrinking, the total population of the world is increasing. Gradually, the resources produced by the grotto-heaven can no longer support so many people. They want to kill those original mortal slaves, but they are not stupid. Having been enslaved for so long, how could they not resist now that they have a chance?

Later, several major battles were launched. The first few times, the number of deaths was small and there was not much of a problem. However, the last time, too many people died. A great plague broke out in the cave world. In the past, people with cultivation were not afraid of the plague and could just take a pill. But now, where could they get pills? In addition, almost all the people in the cave world were infected, and there were not enough pills to go around.

Although the plague was terrible, it did not kill everyone. The most terrible consequence of this plague was the contamination of the land and water sources, which was the most deadly. After that, most people died of starvation and thirst.

After reviewing the records, Jiang Yue called Bai Ze and quickly asked him to check the air quality inside. She was worried that the plague might mutate into some kind of virus. She felt she had been a bit hasty in coming in and should have made sure it was safe before entering.

Fortunately, Bai Ze's monitoring revealed no pathogens. If she had been careless and died here, Jiang Yue would have been disgusted. She left Bai Ze to collect data and went to the area where the core of the cave was located. After refining the core, the cave would belong to Jiang Yue.

The first thing she did after taking control of the cave was to open a portal and send the remains inside out. Many of them were turned to ashes so that they could be laid to rest. After the cave was cleaned up, Bai Ze had already collected all the useful items, which was the biggest gain from the cave.

While Bai Ze was organizing the data, Jiang Yue was thinking about how to deal with this cave heaven. This cave heaven is almost dead now. Jiang Yue could either spend resources to revive it, but that would consume too many resources and there wouldn't be enough to restore it. In fact, there was only one possibility left, which was to directly turn it into a cave heaven seed.

Normally, after breaking through from the terrestrial immortal realm to the human immortal realm, one can choose to take the path of returning great power to oneself or creating a grotto-heaven. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but neither is superior to the other. Returning great power to oneself is relatively free, while creating a grotto-heaven is not something one can leave for a long time before advancing to the celestial immortal realm.

However, this is not without its advantages. If the cave heaven is upgraded to a small world later, the person who created the cave heaven will definitely comprehend various laws very quickly. There is also an extreme path, which is to choose to become the Heavenly Dao when advancing to the world, and become stronger as the small world becomes stronger. The world will not perish and I will not perish. Of course, if the world has problems, the person who created the world will not benefit.

Jiang Yue thought that now that she had a seed of a grotto-heaven, taking the path of opening up a grotto-heaven would save her a lot of trouble. She considered whether she could accept the drawbacks of this path, but in the end, she decided against it. The time required for a grotto-heaven to advance into a world was too long, and there were too many uncertainties along the way. It would be better to take the path of returning the power to oneself.

However, this seed of the cave is not useless. It can be taken back to the elders of the family. Some people with little life left will definitely like it. The main thing is that this thing cannot be taken away, otherwise Jiang Yue would not be willing to give it away.

After Bai Ze and the puppet left the world, Jiang Yue first set up an array to conceal the commotion, and then began to transform the cave seed. It took a month to complete the transformation. The transformation process was not smooth sailing, and Jiang Yue also invested a lot of energy before finally succeeding.

However, Jiang Yue did gain something else. She recorded the entire process of transforming the cave seed. If she had the resources to experiment a few times, she could probably artificially create the seed. But even if she created it, she wouldn't be able to afford to raise it. A family as large as the Jiang family could probably only barely support one cave.

This thing can't be put into the space and it's constantly emitting fluctuations. Jiang Yue sent a message to Xiao Cui and the others, and then went to the clan's territory alone. This thing is constantly getting weaker if you don't use it. It's just that Jiang's parents' cultivation level is not high enough, otherwise she would have given it to them. Not to mention anything else, the lifespan of a terrestrial immortal who has opened up a cave heaven is really long.

The speed of a fully-flying terrestrial immortal is very fast. Jiang Yue arrived at her destination in two or three hours. The clan's territory was located in a primeval mountain area with natural formations. After passing through the formations with her pass, Jiang Yue felt as if she had entered a paradise. What appeared before her was a small village.

The patriarch of the Jiang family usually went into seclusion. The activation of the formation awakened one of them, who was on duty this century. He rose directly from his seclusion into the sky, wondering if the family had encountered some major problem, since someone had suddenly come to the clan's territory.

Upon seeing Jiang Yue, everyone was stunned. Such vitality! So young! She's already a terrestrial immortal. What's going on? They sensed the spiritual energy nearby. It was fine, but still very thin. Could it be that she'd been in seclusion for too long and her brain had gone haywire?

"Junior Jiang Yue pays respects to the Ancestor."

"Ahem... Just call me Second Elder."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and handed Jiang Yue a stone bowl. Jiang Yue took it and dripped some blood onto it. The stone bowl then absorbed the blood and emitted a green light. Seeing this, the Second Elder breathed a sigh of relief. The bloodline was fine; they were all members of the Jiang family. After putting away the stone bowl, he asked Jiang Yue, "Has something happened to the family?"

"No, Second Elder, look."

Jiang Yue handed the Cave Heaven Seed to the Second Elder. The Second Elder frowned and looked at it, his expression slowly becoming serious. He could sense the vitality of this thing, but since he had never seen it before, he couldn't tell what it was for a moment. So he looked at Jiang Yue again.

"This is a seed for the world."

"What?! Are you sure this is the World Seed?"

"Yes, I personally transformed it."

After saying that, Jiang Yue told him the whole story. The Second Elder remained silent for a long time after listening, feeling that he had lived such a long life in vain. These things are now everywhere.

"Do you need the ancestor to protect you? No problem, I'll call over the other elders right now, and you can use the family's resources as you please."

"No, Ancestor, I don't want to go down this path. Please take a look at the elders in the clan and see who is suitable to take this position."
