After reading the information collected by the Red Emperor, Gao Yan found it quite interesting.
Unexpectedly, another mysterious force has surfaced.
In fact, this force has many intricate connections with the Great Xia Dynasty.
Simply put, this force was created by a Qi cultivation sect that had been expelled.
This Qi cultivation sect is called the Holy Sect, but it is referred to as the Demonic Sect by righteous people.
The exact circumstances are too far in the past for the Red Emperor to investigate.
In short, the Demonic Sect was jointly suppressed by various righteous forces.
Forced into a corner, the leader of the Demonic Sect at the time had no choice but to lead his elites overseas.
Centuries later.
The Demonic Sect has also grown into a behemoth overseas.
However, Qi cultivation requires spiritual energy, and when one engages in combat, the true energy consumed within the body is replenished by spiritual energy.
Therefore, although the Demonic Sect has a large number of people and great power, the number of Qi cultivators has never been large.
However, what Gao Yan found strange was...
If the Great Xia Dynasty has so many blessed lands, why don't other countries have them too?
Thinking about this...
Gao Yan got up and went to Yao Guang's room, then raised his hand to knock on the door.
The door opened.
Yao Guang looked at Gao Yan: "Master Gao, is there something you need?"
"I do have some questions for you!"
"Please come in!"
Gao Yan sat down on the small sofa in the room and asked, "Yao Guang, are there any blessed lands abroad?"
No!
Yao Guang shook her head.
"Why?"
Gao Yan was puzzled. They were all on the same planet, so why was it only the Great Xia that gave birth to the blessed land? This didn't make sense!
Yao Guang said, "Because these blessed lands and grotto-heavens were created by our predecessors!"
"Created by our predecessors?"
Gao Yan was quite surprised. The area inside the blessed land was not small. Not to mention the Celestial Realm, even if he had reached the Divine Power Realm, he would be far from being able to create a small world.
Could it be that some ancient person also obtained the system and then created those blessed lands?
He felt that this was very likely!
Yao Guang continued, "Actually, I saw this in an ancient book from our Beidou Sect. It is said that in ancient times, a super strong person was born in the East. He foresaw that a great flood would occur in the world, so he created blessed lands and grotto-heavens for people to take refuge in!"
"If they created dozens of small worlds on their own, wouldn't their strength be ridiculously powerful?" Gao Yan murmured.
"Perhaps!" Yao Guang said calmly, "After all, so much time has passed, no one knows for sure what's true or false."
"And what about Qi cultivation? Why did Qi cultivation only originate in the East and not abroad?"
Gao Yan asked again.
Yao Guang said, "This ancient book also mentions that in ancient times, there were also cultivators similar to Qi cultivators overseas. Later, a great war broke out between the two sides, and the East won. Then, the Eastern cultivators killed the Western cultivators who controlled cultivation and destroyed their secret manuals. Various powerful figures joined forces to forcibly move the spiritual veins of the West to the East. Since then, it has been difficult for the West to produce cultivators."
"I see!" Gao Yan exclaimed in realization. "Then do you know why the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would be depleted?"
Yao Guang said, "According to that ancient book, the spiritual veins that are spread all over the world are actually a natural spirit-gathering array. In ancient times, the strong people of the East took away the spiritual veins of the West, which destroyed the spirit-gathering array of this planet, causing the spiritual energy that this planet absorbs from the universe to be transformed into less and less."
After Eastern cultivators defeated Western cultivators, cultivation flourished, leading to a surge in the number of cultivators. Cultivation requires spiritual energy and spirit stones, and a large number of spiritual veins were excavated and destroyed, ultimately causing the Spirit Gathering Array to collapse completely, making it impossible to draw energy from the universe and convert it into spiritual energy!
Then the spiritual energy in the world gradually diminishes until it disappears.
Centuries ago, the major cultivation sects discovered that the mortal world was no longer suitable for cultivation, so they joined forces to hollow out the remaining spiritual veins and relocate the cultivators to blessed lands.
"So that's how it is!"
Gao Yan has truly broadened his horizons.
"Do you know about the Demonic Sect?"
Gao Yan's heart stirred, and he continued to ask.
Yao Guang nodded: "Back then, the Demonic Sect was a powerful Qi cultivation sect. Before we Qi cultivators moved into the blessed land, we were collecting resources and spirit stones all over the world. Everyone wanted to collect more resources and spirit stones. Then the Demonic Sect secretly destroyed several sects and seized resources and spirit stones. After being warned by several top righteous sects, the Demonic Sect still did not take it seriously. So, several top sects joined forces to besiege the Demonic Sect."
Both sides suffered considerable losses in that battle. It is said that more than ten Celestial Realm experts died in the battle alone. Of course, the Demonic Sect suffered the greatest losses. In the end, the Demonic Sect leader led the remaining forces and fled overseas.
"Didn't the sects that were practicing Taoism at the time consider eliminating the threat completely?" Gao Yan asked with a smile.
"There's no need for that!"
Yao Guang shook her head: "Because most of the cultivation resources and spirit stones of the Demonic Sect have been intercepted, and there are neither blessed lands nor spiritual veins overseas, even if the Demonic Sect can find some small spirit stone mines, they will not be able to develop and grow stronger. It is better to let them fend for themselves!"
Gao Yan nodded.
That is indeed the case.
According to the Red Emperor's investigation, even after so many years of development, the Demonic Sect only has two or three hundred people who truly cultivate true qi, which is far inferior to the qi cultivators in the blessed lands!
Moreover, they have never dared to come out into the open all these years, probably because they are worried about being purged by the Qi Cultivation Sects within the Great Xia territory!
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Yao Guang. I won't disturb your cultivation any longer!"
After thanking Yao Guang, Gao Yan got up and walked towards the outside world.
You're welcome, Master!
