Chang'e's words were undoubtedly like thunder from a bolt from the blue, leaving several people in a state of panic.
Li Changan's face was full of bitterness. He didn't expect that he would learn such a shocking secret just by asking Chang'e casually.
"Immortal Prison..." Li Changan chewed on these two words.
"Back then, the remnant soul of the Sword Tomb once said that the pseudo-immortals in the Immortal Realm relied on the merits of incense offerings for their cultivation. However, this method of cultivation, which goes against the great principles of heaven and earth, is ultimately a waste of resources. It's easy to imagine that after a hundred thousand years of development, the incense offerings of the people in the Immortal Realm will inevitably be exhausted."
"So, they targeted human practitioners."
"They seize the power of incense from ascended practitioners, or even directly extract this power from the cultivation world using some secret method."
Li Changan slowly sorted out his thoughts.
"It's understandable that to accomplish this, some kind of power would be needed. This is... the method used by Saint Yin to seal and strip away the Northern Continent... Of course, it could also be to avoid harming the Central Saint Continent."
"Now, with the disappearance of Yin Sheng, the power that sealed the Northern Continent is slowly dissipating, so the passage connecting to the Central Saint Continent is slowly opening."
"I'm afraid the polar abyss Xing Tian found and the void rift calculated by Jiang Xuanbu have only slowly appeared in recent years..."
Li Changan's face turned ferocious.
Is there really someone in this world who would give up an entire state for the sake of their own cultivation? Including hundreds of millions of ordinary people?
Yin Sheng... How did such a person become the great saint of the human race?
Chang'e's voice continued to come.
"Big Brother, although the power of the Yin Saint repels cultivators of advanced realms, with the emergence of the passage, the Central Saint Continent has begun to infiltrate the Northern Continent. After all, this ten thousand year seal has filled the Northern Continent with mystery. Whether for exploration or other purposes, a large number of cultivators will surely enter the Northern Continent, including the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld."
"As time goes by, once high-level saints are able to set foot in Northern Continent, the sects and forces in the Northern Continent's cultivation world will face two choices."
"Being swallowed up by some powerful force, or... being destroyed!"
Li Changan stood up and paced back and forth under the locust tree.
He suddenly realized something that he had previously overlooked.
For example...what exactly is the orthodox practice of the human race?
The cultivators in Beizhou aim to ascend to become immortals, but this is obviously because Saint Yin sealed Beizhou ten thousand years ago and deliberately influenced it with great means in order to provide someone in the immortal world with the resources needed for cultivation.
So, if the correct path for practitioners is not to ascend to become immortals, then is becoming a saint the correct path for human practitioners?
Did Li Jiuzhong prevent human cultivators from ascending to heaven in order to prevent the immortals from seizing some of Beizhou's power? And did his advocacy of human sainthood mean that he knew that the orthodox human practice was actually the path of sainthood?
"Sixth Brother, in the cultivation world of Zhongsheng Continent, is Ascension the mainstream? Or is it Sainthood?"
Chang'e was silent for a moment, "Ascension!"
Li Changan was stunned. What did this mean?
"The sects in Zhongshengzhou basically all focus on ascension, entering the spirit, returning to emptiness, merging with the Dao, and overcoming tribulations. As for the way of saints, except for some ancient sects, few people touch upon it. Unless one's ascension is not smooth, they will turn to practicing the way of saints." Chang'e said.
"So after learning about what happened in Beizhou, I also felt a little strange."
Li Changan frowned, feeling very strange.
If the facts are as I guessed, and the orthodox practice method of human practitioners is the way of saints, then why is the mainstream practice in the entire Central Saint Continent mainly based on the way of immortals?
In this way, wouldn't it be like the Immortal Realm, deviating from the original mainstream path...
Eh? Could that be the case?
There was a gleam in Li Changan's eyes.
The mainstream cultivation system of the immortal world was suppressed by side attacks, and pseudo-immortals took the lead, which led to the later pseudo-immortal way of seizing incense and merit. So, is the ascension of mankind today also due to the loss of the orthodox saintly way of mankind, and the change of the cultivation path of human practitioners by some people with ulterior motives?
If this is true, who is behind this conspiracy?
Li Changan raised his head and looked towards the high sky. Behind the white clouds was the deepest darkness.
"Immortal!"
If this is true, then it's terrible!
"Big Brother, the opening of the North Continent passage has a significant impact. Many Zhongsheng Continent disciples have already gone to North Continent. I'm on my way back and should be able to catch up with the Taixuan Chengjian Conference."
Chang'e said.
Li Changan hummed, "Be careful."
"good!"
The Linghai star map dimmed and Chang'e's voice disappeared.
Xing Tian was a bit bewildered, scratching his head in silence. Hou Yi and Jiang Xuan looked grave, while Sun Wukong had a cold expression. As for Nezha, he should be barbecuing in the back mountains at this time, while Kong Xuan was probably recovering from his injuries.
"If my guess is correct, the orthodox practice of human practitioners should be the sage way, but a certain ill-intentioned individual used drastic measures to force all human practitioners to switch to the immortal way."
"Moreover, it's the way of pseudo-immortality." Li Changan's voice was a little heavy.
"The purpose of doing this should be to provide sufficient incense and merit for the immortals in the immortal world to use for their cultivation."
Even the rebellious Sun Wukong, the aloof Jiang Xuan, and even the honest Xing Tian felt terrified.
What a terrifying method it would be to be able to forcibly change the entire human cultivation system?
"If that's the case, then we can't just sit there and do nothing," Houyi said. "Master must have known all this when he sent us the message. I think we should stand up and make this known to the world, uniting all practitioners to abandon the ways of false immortals and cultivate the ways of the saints."
Li Changan rolled his eyes and was speechless about this righteous junior brother.
"Li Jiuzhong must have discovered this truth back then, which is why he single-handedly launched the Holy War. But even he couldn't change the current situation. Do you think you can change the established beliefs of the entire cultivation world based on your own speculation and one-sided statements? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Hou Yi bit his lip, his eyes firm. "Even so, we cannot remain indifferent. The power of the cultivation world is the foundation of our human world. If we are slowly eroded by the immortal world, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"I know that." Li Changan waved his hand helplessly, "But we need to take it slow. There's no need to rush."
Jiang Xuan glared at Houyi fiercely, and Houyi decisively shut up.
"No matter what, we must first improve Jiufeng's own strength, so that we can have the capital to change this world. Now we have the divine cultivation method obtained from Zitong. Even if we don't enter the fairyland, it can't limit our cultivation."
"Moreover, the Sword Tomb's spirit should hold the cultivation method of a True Immortal. I think it is necessary to obtain it."
"Besides that, it's the authentic way of the saints..."
Li Changan stood up and looked around.
"From today on, I will go into seclusion."
"Don't disturb me until the Taixuan Monument appears."
"yes!"
