Xuan Lingzi smiled faintly, looking at his disciple's curious expression, and said softly, "It's not that powerful, but... even more powerful than that. Jianqing, for tens of thousands of years, the world has never lacked talent. I entered the Divine Transformation Realm in 200 years, which can be considered the top talent in the past 10,000 years. But your speed is even faster than mine, and you may even surpass me. But that Jiulian Zun is indeed the only strongest talent since the founding of Taihua Mountain. He can refine pills and weapons, and is proficient in formations and talismans. Do you know how long it took him to enter the Divine Transformation Realm?"
Luo Jianqing frowned: "Two hundred years?"
Xuan Lingzi smiled and said, "It's one hundred and eighty-nine years."
Luo Jianqing hugged his master even tighter and said dissatisfiedly, "So what? In my heart, he is far inferior to my master."
Hearing this, Xuan Lingzi's ears turned red and he quickly changed the subject: "What exactly do you want to know?"
Luo Jianqing hesitated for a moment, then finally told the story of Qingjun and Venerable Jiulian. When Xuan Lingzi heard Qingjun say, "The sky has changed," his expression froze, a flicker of confusion and caution flashing in his eyes, but he shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Yuqingzi enjoys reading ancient books and is very knowledgeable. What she knows is probably what I know."
Luo Jianqing asked, "Master, you don't know what happened in those hundreds of years?"
Xuan Lingzi shook his head. "Master, I only know that during those centuries, more cultivators than just Grandmaster Jiulian and the Mo family patriarch disappeared. The Mo family originally had nine Mahayana cultivators, but after those centuries, all of them disappeared. On Mount Taihua, besides Grandmaster Jiulian, the masters of Qinglan Peak, Liehuo Peak, and Yushou Peak also disappeared. At that time, there were also many large sects that have now been destroyed, and among them, the top cultivators in those sects were all missing or died."
After a pause, Xuan Lingzi asked, "Jianqing, do you know that the human cultivation world is no longer as prosperous as it once was?"
Luo Jianqing nodded. "Yes, because we have been fighting the demon race for tens of thousands of years, both the human race and the demon race have suffered heavy losses. Especially in the battle a thousand years ago, countless powerful humans died, and countless elite geniuses also died. But similarly, the only two divine beast masters of the demon race who reached the God Transformation Stage also perished."
Xuan Lingzi nodded. "That's right. So, a hundred years ago, when my master entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage, the demon race no longer dared to launch such a forceful war, as both our races had greatly diminished in strength. However, thirty thousand years ago, during the time of Master Jiulian, Nascent Soul cultivators were truly everywhere. There were nearly a hundred Spiritual Transformation cultivators alone."
Luo Jianqing was stunned and said in disbelief: "A hundred people?!"
Xuan Lingzi said: "Yes, the number handed down by the successive masters of Yuxiao Peak is ninety-six. However, after the few hundred years you mentioned, there were only thirteen cultivators in the world who had reached the God Transformation Stage, and the seventy-two most powerful beasts of the demon race had also disappeared.
