Zhou Yuanyuan remained silent. She knew that Cha Rui's words were simply a show-off. Even if Zhou Yuanyuan didn't ask, Cha Rui would have told her. After all, Zhou Yuanyuan's current status meant that she was Cha Rui's "prisoner," right?
Sure enough, without Zhou Yuanyuan asking, Cha Rui's voice rang out immediately. He came to say these words to Zhou Yuanyuan not to gain her approval, but because after all these years, he, Cha Rui, had finally accomplished what his clansmen had been unable to do—revenge on the monks.
"Let me tell you! This is the burial place of my Nawa people, and it is also the forbidden place for you monks. Tsk tsk tsk... Monk, do you feel it? This river is full of Yin and Ming energy, and these waters are Yin and Ming waters that are even colder than the Yin and Ming energy!" Cha Rui pointed at the dark river water and sighed with melancholy: "These river waters were the nightmares of my Nawa people in the beginning, but after so many years, they have become something that my Nawa people cannot separate from. There is no reincarnation for Nawa people after death, and their bodies and souls will be restored to these Yin and Ming waters, and all of this is thanks to you monks!" Cha Rui said gritting his teeth.
"Master, is this guy crazy? We didn't do anything to him, so why is he pouring all his hatred on you, Master?" Chaos Pearl was a little puzzled.
"Zhuzhu, be quiet and listen to what he has to say." Zhou Yuanyuan soothed Chaos Pearl. As the saying goes, when a person is proud, they tend to let things slip! Zhou Yuanyuan was waiting for Cha Rui to show off so she could find out what was going on.
"Tens of thousands of years! Not only did the members of my Nawa clan suffer from the pain of Yin energy entering their bodies during their lifetime, but they also had to turn into these Yin and Ming waters after death, all for the word "eternal life" that you monks pursue. Hahaha... How ridiculous, infuriating and pathetic!" Cha Rui became more and more sad and angry as he spoke, and finally he began to sob.
So, Cha Rui was angry with her simply because she was a "monk" who stood in opposition to the Nawa clan? Zhou Yuanyuan finally understood Cha Rui's intentions.
As Cha Rui continued to mutter to himself intermittently, Zhou Yuanyuan finally pieced together the "truth".
According to legend, there is a kind of Sansheng Flower in the underworld, which is the main material for monks to refine the "Immortality Pill".
As the name suggests, the "Shengxian Pill" is a pill that, when consumed, allows one to ascend to heaven and become an immortal. Zhou Yuanyuan had previously read in "Cultivation Miscellaneous Talks" that Houyi's wife, Chang'e, ascended to heaven after consuming the "Shengxian Pill" given by the Queen Mother.
However, this kind of elixir has never appeared in the world of cultivation. The cultivators believe that the "Immortality Pill" is only a legendary elixir and it is impossible to exist in real life.
Thirty thousand years ago, strange changes occurred in the world, and an ancient immortal's cave appeared in the world.
The monks gathered all the elites of their sects and spent a lot of effort to open the immortal cave. There were many treasures in the immortal cave, but the one that made the monks most crazy was a recipe for the "Immortality Pill".
Become an immortal! Which cultivator cultivates so hard, not aiming for the word "become an immortal"? With such an elixir, even mortals can become immortals, not to mention cultivators like them.
After their elation, the monks were stunned when they saw the herbs needed to refine the "Immortality Pill." Ten-thousand-year-old chalcedony, ten-thousand-year-old jade star grass, and ten-thousand-year-old dragon bones were fine, though rare, but at least there was a chance of encountering them. But the "Three Life Flowers" that grew in the underworld were beyond the reach of the monks.
Monks need spiritual energy to cultivate, but the underworld lacks spiritual energy. Its unique dark energy is the nemesis of all monks. Not only does this energy stagnate the spiritual energy within a monk's body, it also invades their sea of consciousness, driving them mad.
Legend has it that the "Three Life Flowers" are the most precious treasure of the underworld. Wherever they bloom, the dark energy is as dense as a substance. Even if monks risk their cultivation by entering the underworld, they are unable to pluck the flowers. The spiritual energy within the monks' bodies and the dark energy within the flowers repel each other. Even the slightest contact with spiritual energy will cause the flowers to completely wither. However, fresh "Three Life Flowers" are required for the refining of the "Immortality Pill."
No matter how difficult a task is, in the eyes of a cultivator, there is always a way to solve it. Otherwise, how could they claim to be "cultivating against the will of heaven"? If there are no conditions, create them.
It was unknown which sect's monks had found such a unique location as the Nawa tribe's residence, and they planned to train a group of people here to go to the underworld to pick the "Three Life Flowers". These flower pickers were the ancestors of the Nawa tribe.
The ancestors of the Nawa people were all descendants of monks. They were both male and female, their only commonality being a lack of spiritual roots. Because they were descendants of monks, although they could not cultivate, their physical strength was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
The monks set up a formation here, attracting the Yin Qi from the underworld and planting a trace of Yin Qi in the Nawa ancestors to train their resistance to Yin Qi. After a period of time, the monks made the Nawa ancestors enter the Yinming Water filled with Yin Qi, and endure the erosion of Yin Qi on their bodies.
To put it bluntly, the Nawa clan is the experimental subject of the monks. The monks want to create a group of "ordinary people" who have the ability to resist the Yin and Ming energy, so that they can wait until the season when the Sansheng flower blooms, let them sneak into the underworld, pick the "Sansheng flower" and bring it back for the monks to make elixirs.
Monks have long lifespans. During the experiment, some of the selected flower pickers died from the erosion of Yin Qi, while others not only survived but also successfully gave birth to the next generation. In this way, hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye, and the remaining members of the Nawa tribe had significantly improved their ability to resist Yin Qi.
The monks believed that the time was ripe and sent ten pairs of men and women into the underworld to pick the "Three Lives Flowers".
Somewhere along the line, something went awry. Shortly after the Nawa tribe sent their men into the underworld, a major disturbance erupted. The path leading to the underworld beneath the temple suddenly collapsed. The warriors who had gone to collect the "Three Life Flowers" never returned. Even the monks who controlled the Nawa people vanished from their base overnight.
For the next few decades, the Nawa people lived a life worse than death. Without the help of the monks, the Yin Qi in their bodies would often cause trouble. What made them even more frightened was that their offspring, even without the monks specifically planting Yin Qi in them, would be born with Yin Qi in their bodies.
Until one day, Kong Ming descended from the sky and allowed the Nawa people to survive. However, perhaps due to the Yin energy in their bodies, the Nawa people's reproductive ability declined with each generation. After Kong Ming disappeared, no more babies were born among the Nawa people, and this led to the extinction of the tribe.
