On the interconnected ridges of the fields, wives and children brought food to their husbands, and porters carried tea and shouted everywhere.
In today's chaotic world, it is like a lotus flower that emerges from the mud without being stained, or like the legendary Utopia.
Many monks of Xianxia Sect looked at this scene in amazement, but soon their expressions became a little strange, one could even say they were heartbroken.
"Master, these fields are nourished by spiritual energy."
"...It's really outrageous. Such precious spiritual energy is actually used to farm for mortals."
"The Immortal Palace controls 60% of the spiritual veins in the world, and would rather give them to mortals than to us."
Listening to the complaints of his disciples, Master Yunhua just sighed and shook his head. In the past, he would have scolded them, but now complaints were the mainstream.
I just don't know when it will break out.
Floods in Xiandao 35 years ago.
The number of Tianzhou people has reached 100 million, equivalent to two secular dynasties. In order to cope with the increasing population, the one palace and two sects decided to increase the cultivation of spiritual fields and temporarily cut the spiritual storage expenditures of some monks.
As the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar and the entire cultivation world was shaken.
All the monks could no longer sit still.
You should know that now 60% of the Nine Provinces' spiritual veins are controlled by one palace and two gates. The Spiritual Treasury can be said to be the entrance and exit of the world's spiritual veins. Countless cultivators rely on the Spiritual Treasury for their practice.
The one palace and two gates are going to cut the supply to the monks, which is equivalent to touching everyone's cake. How can they not be anxious?
Many monks went to the Moon Palace, which was in charge of the Spirit Treasury, to seek an explanation, but they were driven out by the Moon Lord before they could say a few words.
Taiyin Xingjun's response left people speechless.
"The spiritual veins were originally obtained by the immortals, so don't take the immortal's grace for granted."
Sixty percent of the spiritual veins controlled by the Immortal Palace were fought for by the immortals in the past. According to the rules since ancient times, treasures belong to the strong, and they belong to the immortals in a logical and reasonable way.
But there are only so many spiritual veins in the world, they can’t just rob the Immortal Palace, right?
There was a flood in Xiandao for 37 years.
After five years of migration, all the people in Kyushu have migrated to Tianzhou, and the number of people is approaching 200 million. Compared with the 400 million before the migration, it can be said that more than half of them were killed or injured.
These people either died on the road or refused to migrate and stayed where they were and were swallowed up by the flood.
No one cares about these dead people because the living are still struggling.
The soil on the Tianzhou Plateau is barren and can only grow some grass. Some places are even permanently frozen. Such a harsh environment does not mean that the more people there are, the better. The people cannot reclaim the land on their own and can only grow spiritual rice that requires spiritual stones to feed.
However, spirit stones are limited. Originally they were used for monks to practice, but now more than half of them are used for mortals to farm.
Although all these spiritual stones came from the Spirit Storehouse and were technically the property of the immortals, everyone had been relying on the Spirit Storehouse for a living for so many years, and over time, most cultivators relied on the Spirit Storehouse.
The supply of spirit stones was cut by the palace and the two sects, and many cultivators could not even maintain their daily cultivation needs. Those who were able to do so fled overseas, and some sects even moved their entire clans out.
Most people did not have the ability or courage to escape from Jiuzhou, because the natural disaster was not only aimed at Jiuzhou, the external environment was also bad. It was only because Jiuzhou brought 20 million burdens that it seemed difficult.
Between the problem of mortals’ eating and the problem of monks’ cultivation, the choice of One Palace and Two Gates tends to be the former.
The final conflict broke out in the 38th year of the Xiandao flood. The powerful men from the 24 major sects of the Xiandao, celebrities from all sides, and tens of thousands of cultivators gathered in Shangqing Palace to confront Taoist Qingxuan.
Some people pray for the restoration of the supply of spirit stones, some pray for giving up being mortals, and some just pray to be able to practice in peace.
When the Asgard paid them enough, everyone signed the contract. But now 38 years have passed, everyone is exhausted and doesn't want to worry about mortal affairs anymore.
Many sects even risked being held accountable by keeping their disciples indoors or simply hiding their talented disciples.
As one of the few people who have reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Yun Hua Zhenren stood in front of Taoist Qing Xuan, bowed his hands and said, "Please help us, Taoist Qing Xuan. We only want to return to the mountains to practice and no longer care about worldly affairs."
Taoist Qingxuan was speechless.
He had the upper hand in legal terms, as all the sects had signed a written agreement with the One Palace and Two Sects. To help the mortals get through this difficult time, 40% of the spiritual veins controlled by the Spiritual Treasury would be given to them, along with many natural treasures.
Now that they have obtained all the treasures of nature, all they lack is the spiritual vein.
But rationally, he couldn't blame these people.
They had done their best, and thirty years of running around day and night had done their best. Now that they had given up their spiritual veins, it was hard to find fault with them wanting to withdraw.
If you put yourself in Taoist Qingxuan's shoes, it would be hard for him to say anything harsh.
All the monks bowed their hands and said in unison: "We ask Taoist Qingxuan to help us return to the mountain."
Qing Xuan sighed and said, "You guys retreat first, and wait for me to contact the Immortal."
"We will wait for the Immortal here."
