Chapter 122 The End of Heaven and Earth, Man-Made Spiritual Veins! (Please give me a monthly ticket, please subscribe!)
"Haha, why thank you! The Weng family sent an envoy to the Red Leaf Association with the goodwill of the Nine Islands Alliance. Now the Weng family ship has been attacked by the barbarians from the Zhengyang Sect and the Wanshan Alliance before it even passed the narrow gap. This is the negligence of our Red Leaf Association!"
Lu Feng laughed and did not take credit for it.
Yitiantian was originally a checkpoint controlled by the Nine Islands Alliance, where masters from the Xiao family were stationed, as well as nearly a thousand skilled players trained by the Nine Islands Alliance.
Take advantage of the dangerous terrain and hold your ground. One man can block the passage of ten thousand men.
But who could have thought that Zhengyangmen would be so shameless.
He directly ordered the elders of the sect to attack with the low-grade magic weapon "Fire Sun Burning Flame Flag" with three prohibitions, and also contacted the Snake Barbarian Tribe of Wanshan League.
The Snake Barbarian Tribe in the Wanshan League is a medium-sized tribe that can be ranked among the barbarians. Although there are no Taoist-level barbarians in the tribe, there are two or three barbarian wizards and warriors at the level of top-grade Taoist children.
Together with the elders of Zhengyang Gate, the strong ones had an absolute advantage among the enemies attacking the Yixiantian checkpoint.
When one's strength reaches a certain level, the difference in numbers and terrain will narrow dramatically.
Elder Dongyang and several Sheman besieged the Xiao family's top-grade Taoist boy. Although the Xiao family's strong men fought desperately, the gap in strength was too great, and they were beheaded after just a few rounds.
After death, he was eaten by snakes, which was extremely miserable.
The arrangement of Zhengyang Gate this time was to first seize the Yitiantian checkpoint and then intercept the Weng family treasure ship. If Lu Feng had not intervened, they would have certainly destroyed the treasure ship, killed the Weng family envoy, and destroyed the alliance between the two parties.
However, out of caution, Lu Feng sent General Shenwei to stay on the Weng family's treasure ship when the Weng family left Chuanhe City and escort the ship back to Qiandao Lake.
Therefore, when the Weng family ship encountered the enemy for the first time, Lu Feng had already received the news and rushed over quickly, which enabled him to come to the rescue later.
However, to Lu Feng's surprise, when he reached the narrow gap and released the Hundred Ghosts Formation, and when the Terrorclaw Demon Bear came to rescue the Weng family's ship, he unexpectedly sensed a powerful aura.
Goddess Jiuxiao is proficient in water magic. She hides in the autumn water and secretly observes the development of the battlefield.
The masters of Zhengyang Sect and Sheman did not find any trace of her, and had no idea that there was someone who could easily take their lives right in front of Voldemort.
It was only because of Lu Feng, a Taoist priest at the same level as him, that he caught the aura leaked when she attacked and found the hiding place of Goddess Jiuxiao.
That's why the two of them are sitting and talking to each other now.
"You can't say that. Fellow Daoist Luo saved the Weng family's envoy and avenged the Xiao family's garrison here for me. I owe you several favors!"
Queen Jiuxiao laughed sweetly.
Lu Feng took action to save the envoy of the Weng family from danger.
Killing the barbarians from Zhengyangmen and Wanshanmeng at the same time also made the relationship between the two families closer.
Naturally, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully after killing people from both families.
It's like a token of surrender when going up the mountain.
From then on, Lu Feng's Hongye Society and the Jiudao Alliance stood on the same front to fight against the enemies Zhengyangmen and Wanshan League.
Before meeting Lu Feng, Queen Jiuxiao thought that Lu Feng was just a young Taoist who had just achieved spiritual realm.
After all, judging from the information she had gathered, Lu Feng had only been in the spotlight for a short time.
When he first appeared, he had the cultivation of a top-grade Taoist boy, but soon he became an enemy of Mr. Qiu from Dongshi City.
Later, he was involved in the struggle for the Shinto spiritual realm between the two cities. He played both sides between Dongshi City and Chuanhe City, won over the independent cultivators of the two cities, and established the Red Leaf Society.
Afterwards, Lu Feng won the battle among the three families for the Shinto spiritual realm. It was unknown what kind of opportunity he had obtained, but not long after his seclusion, he publicly announced that he had built the spiritual realm and became a Taoist priest.
The whole process took less than two years.
Two years, such a short time is not enough for her to go into seclusion and do anything.
But when he saw him today, he found that Lu Feng was full of vitality and did not look like a Taoist who had just achieved spiritual realm.
Queen Jiuxiao vaguely felt that Lu Feng's cultivation was second only to her own.
You have to know that she is an old senior who has reached the spiritual realm decades earlier!
For a moment, she even suspected that Lu Feng was an old senior who had fled from other states to Liangzhou for refuge.
The newly established Red Leaf Society was just a cover-up deliberately created by the "old seniors" to hide their identities.
However, looking at Lu Feng's young body, which was no more than sixty years old, Empress Jiuxiao felt that she might have guessed wrong.
It’s not even sixty years old yet, so I can’t say I’m old!
How strange!
Although Queen Jiuxiao was surprised, she had no intention of exposing Lu Feng.
At least now, Lu Feng, the "old senior", has shown full sincerity.
It would be a perfect benefit for her if the two families formed an alliance to expand their power.
As a woman, she was forced by the Zhengyang Gate to live in Qiandao Lake for many years, and her life was really hard.
Now, the appearance of Lu Feng broke the deadlock and gave her forces the opportunity to move out of Qiandao Lake.
Queen Jiuxiao wished this would happen.
Even if the Red Leaf Society established by Lu Feng was just a casual force, it could help her share the attention of the Zhengyang Sect and attract hatred.
If the Nine Islands Alliance could clip the wings of the Zhengyang Sect and consume its strength during the friction and collision, it would be a gain anyway.
Even if one day, Lu Feng disappears quietly.
Her Nine Islands Alliance can also retract its tentacles, retreat to its base camp in Thousand Island Lake, and hold its ground.
At most, she would just return to the present day, and no matter how hard she tried to torture him, she would not lose anything.
Queen Jiuxiao raised her wine glass, clinked glasses with Lu Feng, and said:
"Fellow Daoist Luo trusts me and is willing to form an alliance with me. This is a blessing for me and the Nine Islands Alliance! If you need help from me in the future, please feel free to ask!"
Thinking of this, Queen Jiuxiao looked at Lu Feng with an increasingly kind gaze, and the smile on her face grew wider.
Lu Feng noticed that Queen Jiuxiao was mostly kind and approachable, but there was something ambiguous in her gaze, so he said nothing.
When Queen Jiuxiao was looking at Lu Feng, Lu Feng was also looking at Jiuxiao.
It is normal to observe your allies carefully when you first meet them.
Just like when a man and a woman go on a blind date, the first thing they look at is always the other person’s appearance and temperament.
Only when both parties are satisfied is there any need to continue the discussion.
If the first impression you get is that you are short, fat and ugly, then there will definitely be nothing to look forward to.
"Just speak?"
Lu Feng nodded, glanced at Empress Jiuxiao, and said:
"Although I am a little embarrassed, I really have something I want to trouble you with!"
The corners of Empress Jiuxiao's mouth curled up and she said with a smile:
"What's the matter, fellow Taoist, just tell me!"
She wanted to see what the "senior" Lu Feng wanted her help with.
Lu Feng put down his wine glass, groaned, and said:
"It's like this. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity in the Divine Realm and cultivated to the spiritual realm. However, my skills are incomplete and lack subsequent advanced skills. I am confused about the path after completing the spiritual realm. Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao, you are also a senior who has cultivated to the spiritual realm for many years. Can you give me some pointers?"
The inheritance in his hand, the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra Jade Slip, has reached this point in his cultivation and there is no way forward.
Lu Feng is now cultivating the Qingmu Spiritual Realm according to his own ideas and groping his way forward.
He studied some of the martial arts inherited from Young Master Qiu, the Sanhe Gang, and the Red Leaf Society, and found that these martial arts only contained the experience and steps to achieve spiritual realm at most.
However, there is no trace of how to cultivate the spiritual realm, how to improve the spiritual realm, and how to transform it into the inheritance of the blessed land.
It was as if a giant dark hand had deliberately done this to cut off the path to advancement after reaching the spiritual realm.
Could it be that in this immortal world, someone is deliberately raising poisonous insects and cultivating leeks?
Lu Feng had many doubts in his mind, but he couldn't find any old senior who had achieved the spiritual realm in the Red Leaf Society's sphere of influence, so he could only bury his doubts in his heart.
When the Nine Islands Alliance came to seek cooperation, Lu Feng began to explore.
After meeting Queen Jiuxiao, Lu Feng thought he could protect himself safely in front of her, so he decided to find out more about her.
This is related to his future development, so it is better to find out as soon as possible to avoid taking a detour and wasting time on the road to development in the spiritual realm.
When Empress Jiuxiao heard Lu Feng's question, her expression turned strange.
What does "senior" Lu Feng want to do?
Isn't this basic information that all Taoists who have achieved the spiritual realm know?
Seeing Lu Feng's serious look, Jiuxiao felt a little dazed, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
Is Lu Feng, the "old veteran", pretending to be a rookie, or is he really just a rookie?
If he was a real rookie, Jiuxiao sensed the aura on Lu Feng, but it didn't seem like that. How could a Taoist who had just reached the spiritual realm have such momentum?
Back then, when she had worked so hard to collect enough resources in Qiandao Lake and built her own spiritual realm and became a Taoist priest, she was so poor that she could barely afford to eat.
Once the spiritual realm is achieved, the daily maintenance alone would consume an astonishing amount of resources.
How could a Taoist who had just reached the spiritual realm have such a strong aura as Lu Feng?
It can also hold a large number of ghosts, spirits, and a powerful demon bear.
The newly built Red Leaf Society, even if it inherited the inheritance of two cities and took over a Shinto spiritual realm, could not afford Lu Feng's consumption.
Where do the resources come from?
It appeared out of thin air?
Even the immortals who built the cave heaven do not have the ability to create something out of nothing.
The resources consumed by Lu Feng were obviously the assets he had saved up from other places.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Feng's identity as an old senior who escaped to this place from other states can almost be confirmed in Jiuxiao.
Okay, since you want to hide your identity, I'll help you!
Anyway, we are allies in the same boat. Helping you get it now is helping me.
Jiuxiao's mind moved and he made a decision.
Lu Feng didn't know that while Niangniang Jiuxiao was thinking, she had already created a legal identity for him as an "outsider".
If he knew what she was thinking, Lu Feng would probably be so happy that he would thank Jiuxiao very much.
He was indeed an "outsider", but unfortunately he did not come to Liangzhou from other states of the Great Xuan Dynasty, but came to the world of earthly immortals from other worlds.
They are all outsiders, but there is a big difference between them.
He suddenly appeared here, with no previous life track. If someone were to investigate further, they would definitely find something unusual, but the "outsider" identity that Empress Jiuxiao had imagined for him could provide him with an extra layer of cover.
After understanding all this, Jiu Xiao no longer bothered about Lu Feng's identity. He treated him as a Taoist who had just reached the spiritual realm. With a smile on his face, he began to explain the wonders of the spiritual realm to him:
"Fellow Daoist Luo, you have just entered the Spirit Realm and you don't have any family elders. There are some unwritten rules in the Spirit Realm that no one has told you about, so naturally you don't know them."
"What rules?" Lu Feng asked curiously.
There is no description of subsequent realms in the technique. Is this really intentional?
He felt that the water in the world of earthly immortals was a little deep.
It seems that contacting Jiuxiao was the right move.
Seeing Lu Feng's serious look, Jiuxiao felt that Lu Feng was really good at pretending. He really deserved to be called an "old senior". His acting skills were superb. With so many years of life experience, she couldn't even find a single flaw.
Since the old senior insisted that she waste her saliva, Jiu Xiao did not hesitate:
"Fellow Daoist Luo, you should be able to feel that the world today is not as good as before. The concentration of spiritual energy in the world is decreasing every year. Although the change each year is barely noticeable, it is a very bad thing when accumulated. I have been in the spiritual realm for nearly a hundred years, and I can clearly feel the change in the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which is constantly decreasing."
"Some of the major sects in the Great Xuan Dynasty observed the heaven and earth and noticed this terrifying change in the heaven and earth. They called the heaven and earth we are in a bubble, and now there is a hole in this bubble, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is constantly leaking out from the hole."
"The world hasn't gotten smaller, but the spiritual energy in the bubbles is constantly leaking out, and the concentration of the spiritual energy is naturally decreasing. As the spiritual energy decreases, it becomes increasingly difficult for us earthly immortals to cultivate together. It's already difficult to cultivate into a top-grade Taoist child, not to mention raising a spiritual realm that's like a giant beast that devours gold."
"After some research, the major sects decided to call this phenomenon the 'End of Dharma' and our era the End of Dharma."
"The masters of the Earthly Immortals from the major sects and schools have gathered together to study, but have not found a solution to the end of the law. Since they cannot increase revenue, they have adopted measures to save money, which is the origin of the few rules I am going to talk about next."
"The end of the world, a problem that even earthly immortals who have cultivated to the cave heaven cannot solve, hiss!"
Jiuxiao’s words really shocked Lu Feng.
After the third level of wizarding world, there are fourth-level Morning Star Wizard, fifth-level Moonlight Wizard, and sixth-level Sunlight Wizard.
There are even stronger realms that Lu Feng has never heard of.
In the world of earthly immortals, achieving the spiritual realm is equivalent to becoming a first-level official wizard in the wizard world.
Later there are geomancers who have created a blessed land and earth immortals who have created a cave heaven.
Gradually opening up the power of a vast space, Lu Feng believed that the earth immortals who cultivated into a cave heaven could at least be on par with the Sun Wizard, or even stronger.
Even such a powerful person cannot solve the problem of the end of the law in this world. It seems that the situation is really serious.
"However, the problem of the Dharma Ending Age does not have a big impact on us for the time being. With the current environment, we do not have the ability to live until the complete Dharma Ending Age arrives. It is becoming increasingly difficult to advance on the path of earthly immortals. Who knows what the future will be like? Let's just muddle through!"
As if thinking of the difficulty of cultivation, Jiuxiao lamented somewhat dejectedly.
"Because there is no solution to the future of the 'End of Dharma', the major sects have set several rules to reduce the consumption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
"There are three rules: 1. Reduce the number of earthly immortals. Limit the inheritance of skills. The earthly immortal skills that are circulated outside can only be practiced to the spiritual realm.
2. Those above the realm of Taoist priests should avoid the world as much as possible, and large-scale battles that would destroy the world are not allowed to occur between heaven and earth. "
3. Reduce the use of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, prohibit the exploitation of spiritual veins from heaven and earth, and promote the incense and vow system. "
Listening to the three rules Jiuxiao said, Lu Feng had a blank expression on his face, but a huge wave of shock was rising in his heart.
No wonder he always felt that something was wrong with this world. It turned out that all the strong people here had gone into hiding.
There was another point that made Lu Feng very confused.
Why do the rules set by these big sects give people a feeling of being self-defeating and waiting to die?
You know, in the wizarding world where Lu Feng hangs out, the wizard profession can be extremely aggressive.
In the long development of the wizarding profession, there have been situations in the wizarding world where there are too many wizards, and the world is overwhelmed and resources are insufficient.
But the Wizards did not choose to lie down and give up.
Instead, he ruthlessly researched and developed a magical artifact called the Gate of Dimensions.
He started to walk out of the wizarding world directly, extending the wizard's tentacles to other worlds, grabbing resources and supporting himself.
Even though it has been developed to this day, the Plane Gate can still only be controlled and used by wizards above the fourth level.
But it also gave the wizarding world the motivation and ability to flourish.
The ghost tree fragments that Lu Feng had picked up on the secondary continent were the best example of wizards plundering other worlds.
It seems that the development of the earthly immortal world is still a little bit lacking.
If the immortals in the immortal world also started to go out of the world and plunder other worlds to support themselves.
Maybe there will be no future of the Dharma Ending Age here.
If we just try to cut costs, the plate is so small, there's nothing we can save.
After all, the right path is open source.
However, for Lu Feng, the fact that the Earthly Immortal World is now heading towards its end is actually a good thing.
At least the difficulty for him to acquire the skills was greatly reduced.
He has no shortage of resources, and with the skills he has he can become stronger.
Along the way, Lu Feng dared not forget the capital that enabled him to dominate the world of earthly immortals.
Information gap and resource gap are the root causes of traveling between the two worlds.
However, with these rules in place, how can he obtain the subsequent training and inheritance of the spiritual realm?
Lu Feng looked towards Jiu Xiao, waiting calmly for her next words.
Looking at Lu Feng who appeared calm, Jiuxiao's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, the old fox finally showed its tail.
When she first heard about the Dharma Ending Age and these three rules from her elders, she did not have this expression.
At that time, she was almost heartbroken and her worldview was reshaped. It took her many days to calm down.
This calm expression must be because he knew all this in advance, which is why he acted so nonchalant.
Lu Feng didn't know that his indifference actually made Jiuxiao imagine more.
After confirming what he was thinking, Jiu Xiao continued to explain to Lu Feng:
"Now that you have reached the spiritual realm and become a Taoist priest, first of all, according to this first rule, there is definitely no subsequent practice. However, you don't have to worry. The path after reaching the spiritual realm is complicated and simple. After listening to my explanation, you will definitely be enlightened."
"Yeah!" Lu Feng nodded, like a child who listened attentively in class.
Jiuxiao also found Lu Feng's "pretending" look interesting.
On ordinary days, she doesn't have a single fellow practitioner who has achieved the spiritual realm, and she doesn't even have the chance to communicate with others.
I met Lu Feng today, and I can finally satisfy my desire to be a master.
"For the Taoists of Earthly Immortals, the foundation of a Taoist is a man-made spiritual realm. If one wants to improve their cultivation in the future, everything depends on the spiritual realm. And the development of the spiritual realm depends on the spiritual veins."
"Spiritual realm, spiritual vein!" Lu Feng pondered Jiuxiao's words.
Among the three rules she just described, one of them restricted the exploitation of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth.
Could it be that the spiritual veins of heaven and earth are also related to the spiritual veins of the earthly immortal realm?
“As we all know, there are places between heaven and earth where spiritual energy gathers, connecting the four directions, linking heaven and earth, like the veins of heaven and earth. Because it has the effect of gathering spiritual energy, it is called a spiritual vein.
To cultivate the spiritual realm in the Taoist realm, one must cultivate spiritual veins in the spiritual realm space, connect the four spaces, and support the sky and the earth. The more spiritual veins there are in the spiritual realm space, and the higher the quality, the stronger the spiritual realm will be, and the more stable the space will be. After that, it will be easier to break through to the blessed land.
Before the rules were set, Taoists who had achieved the spiritual realm had to wander around, looking for the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, transplanting them into the spiritual realm, harming heaven and earth for their own benefit.
But since the third rule was established, we earthly immortals are no longer allowed to mine the spiritual veins of heaven and earth. We can only cultivate the spiritual veins of heaven and earth and strengthen the spiritual space. The difficulty has greatly increased, and many people have no hope of promotion in their lifetime. "
At the end of his speech, Jiuxiao's voice had a hint of loneliness.
Obviously, she was also restricted by this third rule and was trapped on the path of cultivating spiritual veins and developing spiritual space.
"Cultivate your own spiritual veins? How to cultivate it?" Lu Feng asked with an idea in his mind.
Looking at the unromantic Lu Feng, Jiu Xiao sighed and continued:
"It's not difficult to cultivate your own spiritual veins. Remember, when you cultivate to the spiritual realm, you need to sacrifice and refine a perfect spiritual realm restriction. This restriction is the foundation for us to cultivate the spiritual veins in the spiritual realm. As long as you follow the common method and continue to invest resources in the restriction, you can sacrifice and refine an artificial spiritual vein and strengthen the spiritual realm space.
The method is not difficult, and the spiritual realm restrictions are not difficult either. What is difficult is the resources invested.
The resources needed to cultivate a spiritual vein are enormous. I have established the Nine Islands Alliance for nearly a hundred years, and all the resources I have plundered have been invested in the spiritual realm, and I can only barely cultivate a lower-grade human-level water-based spiritual vein.
If a spiritual realm wants to be promoted to a blessed land and become a geomancer, it must at least gather all five elements of spiritual veins.
The five elements are mutually generated and restrained, and circulate and unite to support a stable blessed land space.
It is so difficult to find a low-grade human-level spiritual vein, and I need five spiritual veins. I am afraid I will never have the chance to reach the threshold of the blessed land in my lifetime!"
As he spoke, Jiuxiao became more and more excited.
The resentment that had been accumulated over the years due to the influence of the Dharma Ending Age suddenly erupted at this moment, and there was a tendency for his spiritual heart to be shaken and his mind to be unstable.
Realizing the change in his state of mind, Jiuxiao took a deep breath, stopped talking, threw a jade slip to Lu Feng, and his figure flashed, transforming into a white dragon and leaping into the autumn water.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, my Dao heart is not stable. I need to go back to retreat and consolidate it. I will go first. The method of offering sacrifices to the spirit veins is in the jade slip. You can check it yourself."
Looking at Jiuxiao's disappearing figure, Lu Feng also sighed.
This is how difficult it is to practice cultivation!
Back then, he was trapped in the third-class apprentice realm for decades, and at the last moment, he had this moment of defense breaking.
We are both people who have fallen into the world.
