Chapter 100 The Culprit
Daotian Sect, Sky Island.
Jiang Ming and Xia Buxiu returned to Daotian Sect and went to Jiang Ming's hometown first.
Looking at the fruits and vegetables planted there, Xia Buxiu looked around with curiosity.
"You didn't grow these, did you?" Xia Buxiu looked at Jiang Ming.
"I guess so. I've been busy lately, so I asked the disciples in the sect to help look after it." Jiang Ming sat aside and said with a smile, "Not bad, right?"
Xia Buxiu nodded.
"Even I have never seen these fruits. As for these vegetables..." Xia Buxiu stroked his chin and thought.
To be honest, he couldn't answer it.
He has been practicing for more than 8,000 years. In order to pursue the highest level of cultivation, he has devoted his entire life to cultivation. Naturally, he has no research on planting.
What's more, after building his foundation, he seldom ate anything. When he wanted to eat, he would just take a pill at most.
He really hadn't seen these things for a long time.
"By the way, how long can you maintain this will?" Jiang Ming asked at this time.
"About half a month." Xia Buxiu, who was sitting aside, answered directly.
Hearing this, Jiang Ming said nothing.
More than half a month is just a blink of an eye for people of their strength.
Seeing Jiang Ming's expression, Xia Buxiu also laughed.
"This is already pretty good. If you hadn't taken action then, I would have disappeared for the past two days. Now I can still enjoy the scenery for more than half a month. Aren't you satisfied?" Xia Buxiu patted Jiang Ming's shoulder and said with a smile.
Jiang Ming also smiled.
Yes, when he was tired of the world, he only wanted to escape and never accompanied these senior brothers and sisters who were kind to him.
Now that he has more than ten days, he is content.
"By the way, where did you go five thousand years ago?" Xia Buxiu suddenly asked.
"I just found a place to commit suicide, but no matter how I tried, I found that no method worked!" Jiang Ming frowned.
Hearing this, Xia Buxiu's mouth twitched.
He thought Jiang Ming would commit suicide, but he didn't expect Jiang Ming to be so powerful that he couldn't even kill himself.
"What realm are you in now?" Xia Buxiu asked.
"The peak of the Emperor Immortal." Jiang Ming thought for a moment and added, "Two thousand seven hundred and forty-two levels."
"What is that?" Xia Buxiu looked surprised.
He only knew that after transcending the tribulation period, he would reach the level of a true immortal.
He had personally witnessed the ascension of his master and senior brother. The aura they exuded could no longer be described as that of a cultivator, but rather another, purer aura.
That is the True Immortal! And the peak of the Emperor Immortal mentioned by Jiang Ming, could it be a realm above the True Immortal? Thinking of this, Xia Buxiu said: "The Emperor Immortal... should also be a realm above the True Immortal, why do you still stay in Cangxuan Continent?"
Jiang Ming frowned and said, "I don't know either. After I got out, I wanted to ask someone about it, but now in Cangxuan Continent, let alone people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, there are not many people in the Mahayana Stage."
Xia Buxiu took a deep breath and said, "Are the current cultivators' levels so low?"
Jiang Ming explained: "The current Cang Xuan Continent is not the same as before. The concentration of spiritual energy in the world is not even one percent of what it was back then. After I came out of seclusion, I also heard about something called the Heavenly Dao Fragments, which may be related to the problem of spiritual energy depletion in the Cang Xuan Continent."
After that, Jiang Ming told Xia Buxiu about the remaining pages of the Heavenly Dao and the contents in them.
After listening to this, Xia Buxiu also frowned.
No wonder he felt that the spiritual energy around him became thinner along the way. At first, he thought it was because he had slept for too long and couldn't recover for a while.
But after pondering for a moment, Xia Buxiu looked at Jiang Ming with a strange expression again.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ming didn't quite understand Xia Buxiu's look.
"You said there might be a possibility... just a possibility." Xia Buxiu said.
"What?" Jiang Ming asked.
"The information contained in the Heavenly Dao Fragments should all come from the higher levels. How could they possibly predict the situation in the lower planes in advance?" Xia Buxiu said.
Jiang Ming pondered for a while.
Yes, most of the contents of the Heavenly Dao Fragments come from information from higher levels, so it is unlikely that any of them refers to matters in the lower planes.
In other words, the depletion of spiritual energy in the Cangxuan Continent has nothing to do with the remaining pages of the Heavenly Dao?
At this time, Xia Buxiu spoke again.
"So I suspect that the reason why the spiritual energy of Cangxuan Continent is depleted now has nothing to do with the superiors, but you." Xia Buxiu looked at Jiang Ming.
"Me?" Jiang Ming looked surprised.
"Do you think it is possible that you have sucked all the spiritual energy from the Cang Xuan Continent?" Xia Buxiu said seriously.
this……
Jiang Ming had never really thought about this.
But how could he suck the spiritual energy of the entire continent dry? And he didn't feel anything at all.
"In fact, I wanted to say this before. Ever since you started your retreat ten thousand years ago, I felt that the concentration of spiritual energy on the continent has been declining sharply. But for cultivators, as long as the concentration reaches the standard required by cultivators, it doesn't matter."
“However, when I reached the peak of the tribulation, I could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy was far less than that of our time.”
Xia Buxiu said.
In other words, it was not that the spiritual energy began to deplete more than three thousand years ago, but that the spiritual energy had already begun to dry up three thousand years ago!
The depletion of spiritual energy on the Cang Xuan Continent actually began a long time ago.
It was just that Xia Buxiu didn't suspect Jiang Ming at the beginning. Now when talking about this matter, he quickly felt that something was wrong.
"There is such a thing?" Jiang Ming had never expected it.
"Even if you were seeking death, was your strength still increasing?" Xia Buxiu asked.
"right……"
"Does it mean that you don't need to practice, and your cultivation level is still improving?"
“That’s right…”
Hearing this, Jiang Ming suddenly felt like a sinner.
It turns out that he was the culprit behind the depletion of spiritual energy in Cang Xuan Continent!
"Then wouldn't I be harming these younger generations?" Jiang Ming frowned.
"Not entirely." Xia Buxiu shook his head, then said, "You should still remember Lin Congyun."
Jiang Ming nodded.
He naturally remembered the first leader of Lingyun Sect, who was the most powerful cultivator at that time.
"Lin Congyun's cultivation reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage very early, but he was unable to ascend until his death. Do you think it was because he lacked talent?" Xia Buxiu asked.
Jiang Ming shook his head.
"Master also said when he ascended to heaven that when he reached the peak of the tribulation, he never felt anything calling him. But ever since he felt that his end was near, a voice has been calling him to a higher plane!"
"Therefore, he was able to ascend to heaven and become a true immortal."
"That is to say, Lin Congyun never heard that voice until his death. Starting from our master, everyone can begin to hear that voice."
Xia Buxiu said seriously.
Hearing this, a hint of envy appeared in Jiang Ming's eyes.
But why couldn't he hear that so-called voice? At this time, Xia Buxiu's eyes flashed with a gleam and he said, "I even suspect that the reason why we can ascend to heaven is also closely related to you!"
