But here's the problem.
Since that great war, the spiritual energy of this continent has gradually faded.
Although they could still cultivate, everyone's speed became abnormally slow.
When you first start cultivating, it's not too bad, but once you enter the Golden Core stage, the speed of cultivation will slow down.
There are very few cultivators on the entire continent with a cultivation speed like Yan Wu's.
Long Lin and Mo Lan from the Hanxu Sect can also be considered, but Long Lin is a half-demon, unlike ordinary people.
The last two are the two disciples with long beards.
Ning Hongze's cultivation speed is evident to all.
He didn't actually want Ning Hongze to go, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately kept the news of Changxu's demise from him.
Unexpectedly, Yan Wu, that idiot, secretly investigated this matter and even found out about Molian Mountain.
The spiritual energy on the mainland has gradually decreased, and in the past thousands of years, only one Nascent Soul cultivator has emerged from the Hanxu Sect.
There wasn't a single person from any of the other sects.
If this continues, the spiritual energy in the world will become increasingly scarce, and the path of cultivation will gradually decline. Perhaps one day, the spiritual energy in the world will completely disappear, and cultivators will also completely disappear from this world.
"Isn't this normal? Things should have a beginning and an end, and repeat themselves. Just like my brother once told me, 'What is united for a long time will be divided, and what is divided for a long time will be united.' It's a similar principle."
If cultivators are the only people left in this world, then one day, this world will disappear.
The cultivator's fertility is not strong.
Of course, since cultivators can extend their lifespan by continuing to cultivate, and if they attain immortality, their lifespan will be even longer, they become less and less concerned about having offspring.
In that case, the world would not be able to continue.
The sect leader frowned. After hearing what he said, he felt that it made a lot of sense.
No, that's not how it works.
The sect leader shook his thoughts, which had almost been swayed by Ning Xiaocao.
"The cultivation continent naturally cannot lack spiritual energy. The previous sect master of the Tianxia Sect found an ancient book in their library. The book recorded the Disc Array and stated that if the Disc Array were activated, it could stimulate the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to repair the spiritual energy of their continent."
Once the spiritual energy is abundant again, it will be a good thing for everyone in every sect.
Therefore, the sect leader of Tianxia Sect consulted with many people from other sects about this matter.
They decided to place this great formation at the foot of the cliff on Mount Molian.
However, to activate the disc array, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage or above must be offered as a sacrifice.
We need to gather 21 Nascent Soul cultivators (3 x 7).
And the blood of various high-level demonic beasts.
Upon hearing this, everyone from the sects hesitated.
With so many Nascent Soul cultivators needed, one sect is far from enough. Even a large sect like the Heavenly Gate doesn't have that many Nascent Soul or higher cultivators.
And it is released once every ten years.
As for the blood of demonic beasts, the more the better.
The first sacrifice was the sect leader of the Heavenly Gate.
After that, every ten years, they would take turns offering sacrifices.
Of course, if you can capture a rogue Nascent Soul cultivator, that also counts. After all, even in ten years, not every sect will necessarily have a disciple advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
"What about my master?"
“Your master is the twentieth one, and this year marks the tenth anniversary. Actually, it should be the turn of other sects, but your brother just had to break in.”
Ning Hong, in particular, successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, becoming the final sacrifice—
"This is evil magic; who uses cultivators as sacrifices?"
Ning Xiaocao almost screamed.
“Master, you often say that we disciples of the sect are different from the demons because the demons have no hearts, but we do. But how is your behavior any different from that of the demons?”
Yan Wu never expected that the so-called truth would be so despicable.
"However, if the disc array is successfully activated, it will benefit countless cultivators."
"No way! That's my brother. Why should I sacrifice my brother for someone who's not even a friend?"
These people make it sound nice that they're working for the benefit of cultivators on this continent, so why don't they step in?
So many sects, each with its own leader.
"You are far too selfish and narrow-minded. With a mindset like yours, you will not go far on the path to immortality."
"Then I'd rather not leave. As long as you return my brother to me, I'd rather never make any further progress in my cultivation."
What good is high cultivation level?
The mere thought that the spiritual energy she absorbed was tainted with her brother's blood made it impossible for her to cultivate any further.
Ning Xiaocao stomped her foot, trying her best to break free from the shackles within her body.
She is at the Golden Core stage.
Now all spiritual energy is bound.
She can't use a single bit of her strength; how is she supposed to save people?
Ning Hong's hands and feet were bound by those red lights.
He guided the flying sword from afar, plunging into the red star array and severing the red light binding his hands and feet.
However, it seems that the effect is not significant.
Ning Hong had no choice but to pour her spiritual energy into her hands and struggle to break the red light on her wrists.
But as soon as they broke free of their restraints, the red light wrapped around them again.
Ning Hong then took out a Thunderfire Talisman and used it to bombard the star array.
An ordinary lightning and fire talisman might not be able to damage this formation, but this talisman is mixed with the blood of a half-dragon cultivator who has left his body, so it is naturally different from an ordinary talisman.
Dragon blood, supremely yang, is specifically designed to subdue these evil spirits.
Do you really think my disc array is that simple?
Suddenly, an old voice rang out.
Ning Hong, carrying his sword, took several steps back, with the Illusionary Sound Butterfly still fluttering around him.
The emitted purple powder can temporarily trap people in a hallucination.
It's just unknown whether it will have any effect on this soul that doesn't even have a physical body.
The illusionary magic of the Illusionary Butterfly is indeed powerful; even a soul cannot withstand it.
Soon after, several painful moans could be heard.
The Illusionary Butterfly floated up and down for quite some time.
Purple powder kept floating outwards.
Perhaps it's because this person's soul and the circular array have become connected.
Just as he was suffering from the illusion, the red light of the disc array shone brightly once more, and this time the old man's life story appeared on the disc.
The previous sect leader of Tianxia Sect?
Why would a sect leader end up in such a miserable state?
The sect leader found the ancient book and, together with the major sects, set up a circular array.
He even went so far as to sacrifice himself, taking the lead in offering his body to the heavens.
However, what the crowd didn't know was that his first sacrifice to the heavens had already established contact with the circular array, so he not only wouldn't die, but he was also able to obtain enough spiritual energy to cultivate.
However, he had to ensure the remaining offerings arrived obediently, as well as the monster offerings—
