Looking at Yuexi, who was still feeling ashamed and indignant, Ji Yun felt that he had been too dramatic.
He had spent so much time conquering her, and his progress was already at 30%, but when he came out, it was all negative. And this woman was constantly tormenting him, it was driving him crazy.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "Yuexi!"
Yuexi snorted: "What? Don't talk to me, you lecher."
Ji Yun almost repeated the sentence again, but quickly shut her mouth and asked cautiously, "Can you see if you can absorb spiritual energy?"
"Hmm?" Yuexi was a little confused. Why would she need to do that... She tried it, but she couldn't absorb any spiritual energy.
She hurriedly said, "No, this world cannot absorb spiritual energy. No, this world has no spiritual energy at all."
She closed her eyes and carefully sensed it, only to find that there was absolutely no spiritual energy.
Ji Yun understood and immediately said, "You shouldn't use your spiritual power now. Every bit you use is a bit less, and it can't be replenished."
Yuexi asked worriedly, "Why is this happening? What kind of world is this?"
Ji Yun couldn't answer this question either, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Maybe we are now in the Dharma-ending Age. The poems, songs, legends, and even myths of the ancients, as well as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, are full of divine spirit. Perhaps they had spiritual energy in that era, but it's gone now."
Yuexi became more and more confused as she listened. She had learned some of the myths from exploring her memories, but she still only had a vague understanding of their specifics and general outlines, or was like a child in a daze.
She asked, "So what did the myths say about it?"
Ji Yun took a sip of tea and said, "Legend has it that there used to be a passage connecting the human world and the heavenly realm. This passage was the Jianmu Tree, which allowed humans to reach the heavenly realm."
Legend has it that Fuxi and Nuwa were among the first gods to arrive in the human world through this passage. They lived alongside humans and reproduced, eventually leading to the interbreeding of gods and humans. Later, more and more gods came to the human world through this passage…
Yuexi suddenly asked, "This seems to be similar to the principle of our ascension. After we break through to the highest realm, we can go to the Heavenly Realm, and the passage you mentioned is quite similar."
Ji Yun agreed: "That's roughly the idea, but there are some differences. Legend has it that people from the Heavenly Realm can come down, but people from your place can't."
Yuexi twirled a strand of long hair around her little finger and said, "Continue."
Ji Yun paused for a moment, rummaging through fragments of memory in his mind, and then continued, "The Yellow Emperor was the last god to come to earth. However, not all those who came down from heaven were good people. For example, Chi You, the leader of the Jiuli tribe, was skilled in battle, bloodthirsty, and tyrannical. Whoever offered him a sacrifice, he would give them the power they wanted."
Because the water god Gonggong was very dissatisfied with him, he would deliberately cause trouble for Zhuanxu whenever he had nothing to do, and in the end Gonggong was defeated.
On his way back, feeling ashamed to face his people, he angrily rammed his head against Mount Buzhou. He summoned his grandsons Chong and Li, ordering them to destroy the Jianmu tree, the divine tree connecting heaven and earth, thus severing the passage between the human world and the divine realm…
Yuexi asked tentatively, "So in the end, the human world and the heavenly realm were separated, and ultimately there was no more spiritual energy?"
"After that, people could no longer enter the heavens, and the gods could no longer descend to the mortal realm."
Ji Yun paused for a moment, then continued, "As time goes by, the spiritual energy in the world gradually dissipates, eventually leading to the end of the Dharma era."
He said so much in one breath that he felt a little tired. He leaned back on the sofa, touched his hair, and said angrily, "How dare you perm my hair like this?"
Yuexi snorted: "Who told you to provoke me? Since that's what the myth says, what are we going to do now? Ugh, so annoying, it's all your fault."
Ji Yun said sullenly, "I don't know either. That's how the myth goes, but bringing you here was really unintentional. It was a complete accident. Otherwise, you wouldn't have found out, and I could have protected you from behind the scenes..."
He spoke softer and softer as he spoke, sounding somewhat lacking in confidence.
Yuexi felt a surge of emotion upon hearing this, but she quickly suppressed it and pretended not to care, saying, "You're trying to bully me behind my back, aren't you? Don't think I don't know, you scumbag."
Ji Yun's eyes widened as he pointed at her and said, "How could you think like that? I helped you improve your cultivation, told you stories, accompanied you through trials, helped you when Lin Shengwen bullied you, and even let you obtain the Calamity Sword. Touch your conscience, doesn't it hurt?"
During that time, Yuexi was afraid and worried. All sorts of anxieties weighed on her. She only slowly recovered after becoming her master. At first, she thought he was going to possess her body, and she was terrified.
Yuexi touched her chest and said coquettishly, "Hmph, my conscience doesn't hurt, but you're heartless."
Seeing Ji Yun's silent and dazed expression, she said, "I told you so, didn't I? You really are... Hmm? Where are you looking?"
Following Ji Yun's gaze, Yuexi looked down and her face immediately flushed red. She quickly lowered her hand and said angrily, "Where are you looking!"
Ji Yun snapped out of her daze, her eyes darting around. She swallowed hard and said, "I...I wasn't looking anywhere. I don't know what you're talking about. The weather's nice today. By the way, Yuexi, are you hungry?"
Yuexi was both embarrassed and annoyed. Her beautiful eyes shimmered as she glared at him and said, "Don't try to change the subject. Tell me, what were you looking at just now? Did you want to get electrocuted again?"
Ji Yun hurriedly said, "Don't do it, I was wrong. Please don't use your spiritual power anymore. Every bit you use now is a bit less, and we don't know when we'll be able to go back. Don't let anything unexpected happen."
Hearing Ji Yun's words, Yuexi's shyness lessened slightly. She sighed and said, "Alright, I'll let you off this time. But you mustn't do this again!"
Ji Yun quickly raised his hand: "I swear!"
Yuexi scoffed, "Ha, the oaths men make are so bold they could make pigs fly."
Ji Yun: "......"
What's wrong with this fairy? How does she even know things like that? How am I supposed to win her over? This is too hard, hellish difficulty! I really can't...
Ji Yun abandoned her suicidal idea, opened her phone, and asked, "What do you like to eat?"
"Either is fine!" Yuexi said calmly.
Ji Yun said she understood and ordered a KFC duck, a set meal for two, a couple's set meal.
"Are you ordering takeout?" Yuexi asked.
After paying, Ji Yun answered without looking up, "Yes."
"Not going out to eat?"
"I'll take you shopping tonight; there are still a lot of things I haven't sorted out."
Ji Yun put down her phone and began to think.
