Chapter 534 The Mysterious Disappearance of the Cavernous Master
A thousand years.
Lu Sizhong and the other five have been investigating the truth behind the departure of those Dongxu predecessors.
Every once in a while, the five people would summarize what they had investigated.
Jiang Zuo's eyes flashed. Lu Sizhong did not say what he had investigated when the five of them got together several times before.
"Old Jiang, don't look at me like that. It's not that I'm hiding this from you on purpose, but I can't be sure whether it's true or not. As for telling you now, it's because of the strength that Chu Ning has shown. We can verify the authenticity."
Lu Sizhong explained to Jiang Zuo, and then said: "Since those predecessors left, I have read all the classics in my home, including some classics of the Danta Society, and finally came up with an amazing guess."
"In addition to the demonic reasons, there are probably two other reasons why these seniors disappeared. One is to give us the best development time for the monks in the northern border, and the other reason is that they all went to a certain place."
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Zuo frowned, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, and as for Feng Ange, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
"The first reason is easy to understand. Over the past thousand years, the time it takes for the younger generation in the North to achieve breakthroughs has been significantly shortened. In addition to the advent of the great age, another major reason is that there are fewer high-level cultivators, and luck has begun to fall on the younger generation of cultivators."
It was not difficult for Chu Ning and the other two to understand what Lu Sizhong said. In fact, the great era had already begun to arrive a long time ago, and Lu Dong and his group were the beneficiaries.
But even Lu Dong and his group could not make breakthroughs as fast as the current young generation of geniuses. A big part of the reason for this was because the Northern Territory was currently lacking high-level cultivators.
In addition to one's own talent, resources are also a major factor in the growth of high-level monks. Without resources, no matter how talented one is, he cannot make anything.
Resources require opportunities, and opportunities represent luck.
Most of the luck is in the hands of high-level cultivators. It is accumulated step by step after they start practicing. The remaining luck can favor each genius, but it is impossible to spread it to all cultivators.
But now with the departure of these high-level monks, this part of luck has returned to the Northern Territory, and is slowly acquired and accumulated by the younger generation of monks. This is the main reason for the rapid breakthrough of the younger generation in the Northern Territory.
A very simple example is like in the imperial court. There are only so many official positions. If those in office do not step down, there will be very few positions left for newcomers. They can only rise step by step. But if there are many vacancies in the above positions, newcomers will be promoted like a rocket.
Chu Ning and the other two could understand the first reason given by Lu Sizhong, especially Chu Ning, who had good fortune himself and understood good fortune better than the other three present.
Luck is illusory, but it also follows certain rules.
The luck of a realm is not static, but will increase with the growth of the overall strength of the cultivators in that realm. But at the same time, the more high-level cultivators there are in a realm, the less luck there will be, because it will be occupied by these high-level cultivators.
Luck will increase, but it will also naturally decrease. If the overall strength of the cultivators in a region declines, the luck will also decrease.
However, the reduction of luck is a process, and the duration of this process varies according to the size of the region.
For a large territory like the Northern Territory, this process would probably take about two thousand years.
During this time, the luck will not decrease too much, and because it has no owner, it will continue to be acquired by newcomers. If the cultivator's strength can be restored to its original state at this point in time, the luck will not decrease.
But if the strength fails to recover after more than two thousand years, the overall fortune of the North will decline.
A thousand years have passed since the end of the alien demon war, and the Forbidden Void Formation can prevent the outer realm return to the void and the cave void strong for five hundred years...
This time...
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. Was it a coincidence, or was it a deliberate design by the Saint Master predecessors?
If the Saint Masters return to the Northern Territory after the Forbidden Void Formation ends, the fortune of the Northern Territory will not decrease either.
"What I want to say is not the first point. This point can only be used as evidence. The Saint Masters may not have perished together with the alien demons. It also happens to support my second speculation."
Lu Sizhong waited for the others to think for a while before continuing, "After I looked through all the books of my Lu family, I found a piece of information. Before the Nine Realms were separated, the North Realm was the largest of the Nine Realms."
"This is not surprising. If there hadn't been the Demon Rebellion, the Northern Territory would have been more powerful. But don't forget that the number of powerful Dongxu masters who appeared in our Northern Territory this time far exceeds that of other realms." Feng Ange continued.
"It's really not surprising, but the strength of the Northern Territory declines every ten thousand years. I mean the number of Return to Void and Cave Void masters. It's just that the masters of Return to Void and Cave Void sometimes go into seclusion for thousands of years, so ordinary cultivators can't notice this and just think that these masters have reached the end of their lifespan and are old."
Lu Sizhong's words made Chu Ning and the other two look surprised.

Every ten thousand years, the number of top powerhouses decreases. This is so regular, so there must be a secret hidden.
"Take my Lu family for example. We also had a powerful Dongxu master 20,000 years ago. However, neither the family tree nor the clan books record when this Dongxu ancestor passed away. This is not normal."
"In addition, the records of the Danta Association also record the identities and origins of many powerful Dongxu masters in the North, but the strange thing is that there is no record of the time when these powerful Dongxu masters passed away."
"I counted carefully. There are a total of eleven Dongxu masters known to the world in the past twenty thousand years, and the identities of these Dongxu masters can be found in various domains. However, I traveled to various domains and checked the sects and families these Dongxu masters belonged to during their lifetime. Only three Dongxu masters had their death dates recorded, and the other eight did not."
"Even if these sects don't want the news of their ancestor's death to be exposed and cause other forces to target them, they should still record it internally."
Because he was one of the five giants of the Renaissance Alliance, when Lu Sizhong went to investigate this information, all the sects did not hide anything from him.
"This aroused my curiosity, and I continued to investigate along this line, and I found something interesting. The eight Dongxu seniors who had no records of their passing all disappeared at about the same time ten thousand years ago."
"Could it be that these powerful cave masters have discovered some opportunity?"
There was a gleam in Jiang Zuo's eyes. Many cultivators had thought about whether Dongxu was the end of cultivation. And there has always been a rumor in the cultivator world that there is a realm above Dongxu. Only by stepping into that realm can one be truly immortal.
