After leaving the theater, Du Ming and He Chong remained silent.
Lu Ban began to ponder the situation in this world.
According to the descendants of Jiuliu, the Jiuliu in the past were far inferior to those of today, and possessed more powerful supernatural powers. However, they were constantly weakened with the inheritance, and eventually became what they are now.
Lu Ban came from the future. The He Jiaoyang he saw could not even get full marks in Tai Chi in college, let alone boxing. His physical fitness was far inferior to that of his great-grandfather. The ability of his Yin-Yang eyes was only to see a little black fog, and his supernatural power level had regressed further.
Not to mention the other nine classes, there is not even a shadow of them. He Jiaoyang also said that after his grandfather's generation, talent has declined and there are no fellow disciples. It is estimated that there is no dispute over the position of Xuanjun in Jiangcheng Mountain in modern times.
Lu Ban felt that rather than saying that the spiritual energy was depleted, it would be more accurate to say that the pollution was diluted.
This is a very reasonable inference.
Because power equals pollution, a decrease in power means a decrease in pollution.
Although it may seem a bit unfair to the ninth-rate predecessors to say this, from Lu Ban's perspective, the so-called "superpowers" of these ninth-rate people are all pollution.
The pollution left traces on the ancestors of these people and was passed down along with blood or knowledge. With each inheritance, the pollution would weaken a layer, eventually leading to the depletion of power.
The best ending for the descendants of the Nine Traditions is probably that the pollution gradually fades and they eventually become mortals.
Pollution attracts each other. If pollution from foreign lands invades in the future, the first to suffer will definitely be these descendants of the Nine Traditions.
Just like He Jiaoyang, he has the ability to see ghosts and ghosts, so he will definitely be the first to see the strange things in the foreign lands and lose his mind.
In this world, ignorance is bliss.
Therefore, Dai Yuanyang's behavior is definitely harmful rather than beneficial to the nine classes and the world.
But Lu Ban was also clear about one thing, that is, he was now in the past and everything had been closed.
I guess this incident wouldn't have caused widespread impact even if I wasn't involved.
Dai Yuanyang and the foreigners behind him may disappear in the long river of history due to some accidents or unexpected events, and the people of the lowest class will gradually become mortals with a little power like He Jiaoyang, and eventually become like everyone else.
The Jiuliu group of people are destined to disappear in the face of the times.
Maybe Qi Ye really became an archaeologist in the end, and worked as a professor at a university to guide students in digging graves.
Du Ming became a singer and his family became a musical family. Many years later, Du Danping was born in the family.
As for He Chong, he went back to have a warm home with his wife and children, and I don’t know if he saw He Jiaoyang being born.
As for the others, they have more or less become ordinary people.
If Lu Ban became Xuan Jun, he would probably destroy or take away all things related to Xuan Jun, ending this tradition.
Du Ming sent He Chong and Lu Ban to a nearby hotel. After they checked in, they went to their respective rooms.
Tomorrow, several people will go to Jiangcheng Mountain, where there is a competition venue left by their ancestors.
…
In a building somewhere in Jiangcheng.
Dai Yuanyang walked into the house, where several blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners were sitting.
"It's a pity that they didn't accept my proposal."
Dai Yuanyang spoke in fluent foreign language.
His bloodline was originally thin and he was much weaker than his brother, and even his supernatural powers were very poor.
The Star-Picking lineage, when passed down to their generation, has only the ability to make others ignore them to a certain extent, making it easier to deceive others.
Dai Yuanyang's brother is the current head of this lineage, and Dai Yuanyang, who originally studied abroad, has no intention of getting involved in family affairs.
But a university professor came to him, followed by some researchers he was not familiar with. They gave Dai Yuanyang a lot of money, studied and successfully strengthened Dai Yuanyang's abilities. In addition, his brother died in the country, so Dai Yuanyang took advantage of the opportunity of the Xuanjun dispute and came back to win over more people.
But what I didn't expect was that those people didn't accept my opinions.
Dai Yuanyang felt that he had made it very clear that in this world, his choice was the right one.
When you can't protect yourself, tradition and the past are just burdens.
It is because he broke free from the shackles of the past that he has achieved what he has today.
"It's okay. We plan to explore Jiangcheng Mountain in the next few days to find Xuanjun's secret. Dai, if you need any help, you can tell us. The professor and I will definitely support you with all our strength."
Said the blond man sitting behind the desk.
"No need, I will use my strength to prove who is the real Xuanjun."
Dai Yuanyang said he didn't need help.
They talked for a few more sentences before Dai Yuanyang left.
After he left, the blond man looked at a document he had just received.
What was in the file was more than he expected, but that was a good thing.
“I really want to see what’s there.”
The man looked at the dazzling patterns on the photos in the document and sighed.
…
"This competition is divided into five items. The scores of each item are ranked according to the ranking. The one with the highest score wins."
On the way to Jiangcheng Mountain, He Chong patiently explained to Lu Ban.
Of course, he could completely ignore Lu Ban, after all, Lu Ban was also one of his competitors.
"With Dai Yuanyang here, I can't just stand by and watch. If I let that guy become Xuanjun, haha, our ancestors will lose face."
He Chong was full of confidence and vowed to have a big fight with Dai Yuanyang.
"So you still think you'll lose?"
Lu Ban asked.
"...If you can't speak, you can say less. No one will think you are dumb."
He Chong glanced at the young man beside him.
"Then how do these competitions determine the rankings? Aren't they just sparring?"
Lu Ban thought of the kind of martial arts competition where a boxing champion was waiting at the back, and then everyone fought their way up to the ring step by step. The thought of it made him very excited.
"Fighting is just one of the aspects. The real Xuanjun is not the one with the strongest combat ability, but the one with the strongest strength in all aspects."
He Chong scoffed at Lu Ban's delusion
"What is the first competition?"
Lu Ban didn't care about these things, he asked out of curiosity.
"The first item has already begun."
He Chong smiled and pointed out the window.
Lu Ban looked out the window.
He found that the surrounding scenery seemed to have not changed since a long time ago.
The unchanging grass and trees are like a green barrier, isolating the car from the surroundings.
The mountains are so deep and quiet that not even a bird can be heard.
Du Ming stopped the car.
The three got out of the car and saw a winding road leading up the mountain, which seemed to be the mountain climbing road.
"The first task is to enter Jiangcheng Mountain. There is a formation here. If you can't see through the formation and find the way, then you won't even be able to find the starting point. Whoever arrives first will determine the ranking."
Du Ming explained.
Lu Ban looked at the mountain path, which was winding and tortuous, leading to a secluded place.
