Chapter 609: Seems to be an old friend
Chapter 609 – Like an Old Friend
Speaking here, Sheng Qingyun paused and continued.
“The former is a mid YuanYing cultivation, and seldom fights with people, while the Ghost Granny has a late YuanYing cultivation, and controls a powerful ghost fire that can refine the souls of cultivators for her own use.”
Xu Chuniang nodded slightly, what Master Sheng had said was not far off from the information she had received.
Although True Lord Mixed Yuan only had a mid YuanYing cultivation, he had established Mixed Yuan City with his own strength, and even allied himself with the Delusional Mountain Evil Cultivators, so he definitely had something going for him.
As for Granny Ghost, it was rumored that she used ghosts to enter the Dao, was temperamental, and was known as the Yin Yang Twin Evils alongside the Blood Infant Old Monster.
“Although that ghost granny is powerful, you control a flavor of foreign fire, which has many restraints on evil cultivators, so you should be able to build a strange effect.
At that time, I will hold off the Mixed Yuan True Lord to buy you time, and then come back to help me after you have finished with the ghost granny.”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, “There are only two of us in the Easy Sect who are at the YuanYing cultivation level, and we need to leave one person behind to guard against the Blood Infant Elder Monster that may appear at any time, and to safeguard the safety of our fellow disciples.
Then, the Mixed Yuan True Lord and the Ghost Granny will be left to me alone.”
Sheng Qingyun nodded after pondering for a moment, “Such an arrangement is indeed more stable, it’s just that you need to be more careful as you take on two YuanYing evil cultivators at the same time.”
“Master Ancestor don’t worry, with Yuan Magnetic Divine Light protecting my body, it’s not that easy for those evil cultivators to injure me.”
Sheng Qingyun lamented with some relief, “I still remember the day you built your foundation, you built a golden dao platform that is rare to see in hundreds of years, in the blink of an eye a hundred years have rushed by, and now you’ve grown up and become the clan’s reliance.”
“Elder Uncle’s fallacious praise, I can’t get to this point without the sect’s cultivation.”
Sheng Qingyun shook his head, “There are tens of thousands of disciples in the sect, but only a thousand are able to build their foundations, and of those thousand foundation cultivators, even fewer are able to conjure dan and condense babies.
Especially in recent years, the spiritual qi is gradually thinning, even the spiritual veins are showing signs of depletion ……”
Speaking here, a trace of worry flashed across her face.
The aura of heaven and earth was closely related to cultivators, and these were not good signs.
“Does Master Ancestor know when the aura anomalies started?”
Sheng Qingyun pondered for a moment and said with less certainty.
“The earliest seems to be from a couple thousand years ago, maybe even earlier. In the beginning, the change was very weak, and it only slowly became apparent as time passed, not only were cultivators and demonic beasts affected, but the growth rate of spiritual medicines also grew slower and slower.”
Sheng Qingyun sighed, “At first, everyone thought that the spiritual qi between heaven and earth followed a certain pattern of change, both decreasing and increasing, until later the spiritual qi became less and less, and only then did it attract attention.
The most obvious change brought about by the decrease in aura is that there are fewer and fewer high-level cultivators, and the last time there was a Spirit Transformation Cultivator was more than two thousand years ago.”
Xu Chuniang had thought that the disappearance of aura was because the Qian Luo Realm, a small thousand world, was heading towards annihilation.
However, the Maritime Cultivation Realm had an abundance of aura, with no sign of a weakening aura, which meant that the problem was not in the Qian Luo Realm.
“During these two thousand years, could something special have happened?”
Sheng Qingyun pondered for a moment and shook her head.
“Two thousand years is too long, too many things have happened, just to say that in these hundred years, the evil cultivators came out of nowhere and subverted the five great sects that had survived for thousands of years is the biggest change.”
The diminishment of the aura of heaven and earth had made cultivation more and more difficult, which was the reason why there were more and more evil cultivators.
Evil cultivation techniques were often overbearing and evil, plundering other people’s cultivation essence and refining it for their own use, making strangely fast progress, but it was extremely easy to go off the rails and explode and die.
Even so, many cultivators will still take the risk of turning to the evil way after they have no hope of advancing.
For low-ranking cultivators, what they seek is nothing more than powerful techniques and a long lifespan.
The so-called good and evil were just different choices, and as long as they could achieve their goals, it didn’t matter if they were evil cultivators that everyone scorned. Xu Chuniang was silent, but in her heart, she secretly resolved to investigate the cause of the aura’s disappearance after resolving the Mixed Yuan Sect’s evil cultivators.
Not long after sending Master Sheng away, a knock came from outside the door once again.
As her divine sense swept over the person outside the door, Xu Chuniang’s face revealed a look of surprise.
The ones who came to find her were none other than her former friends, Huo Chunyan and Lin Yuxuan.
She was just now wondering if she should go look for them, but she didn’t expect the two to take the initiative to find her.
After years of not seeing each other, the two no longer had childish colors on their faces, replaced by a face of composure and perseverance.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that old friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years had become YuanYing True Lords when they met again, in addition to the anticipation in the bottom of the two men’s eyes, there were also a few points of apprehension.
Xu Chuniang got up, opened the door, a genuine smile on her face, “It’s been a long time.”
Lin Yuxuan’s nose soured, tears almost rolling down her face, “I didn’t expect to be able to wait for you to come back, it’s really great!”
Huo Chunyan’s eyes also redden, cupping her fists and making a gesture towards her shoulders to pound them twice.
“Leaving for so many years at a time, you’re also too heartless! They all say that you were shipwrecked with Senior Brother Zhuge, but I always felt that you guy didn’t die that easily!”
Xu Chuniang’s face revealed a look of apology, “I made you all worry, it’s not that I didn’t want to come back, it’s really because I didn’t find my way back home all those years before.”
“If you ask me, you couldn’t have fallen into some secret realm and cultivated in it for many years, right?”
Huo Chunyan wipes her eyes and looks at her from the bottom up, “Quickly say, what good stuff did you eat in the end, your cultivation went up so fast?”
“Secret realm it …… did also go to two, these years of experience, is really a long story, are you guys sure you want to listen to me at the door?”
Huo Chunyan hummed and laughed, taking the lead and stepping into the room, finding a seat.
Seeing this, Lin Yuxuan also followed into the room and sat down next to her.
Xu Chuniang closes the door, and when she turns around, she unintentionally catches a glimpse of the fine lines at the corners of Lin Yuxuan’s eyes, and a thousand thoughts well up in her heart.
When I first met Lin Yuxuan, she was still a naive little girl, because she had a father who was a Jindan real person, she was simple and innocent, not familiar with the world.
When I saw her again, she was still bright and colorful, but her cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage, in the end, allowed the years to leave traces on her body.
“What are you gawking at, hurry over and sit!”
Huo Chunyan raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction, interrupting Xu Chuniang’s contemplation.
She smiles and shakes her head, Chunyan still has this impatient nature ah, originally thought she had calmed down quite a bit.
Xu Chuniang sits across from the two of them, taking out a small table from her storage ring, and taking out a teapot and teacups to place on the table.
As she boiled the tea, she recounted her experiences over the years.
Huo Chunyan shakes her head continuously as she listens, not even bothering to drink the freshly brewed spirit tea.
“Did I hear you right, at least a Jindan cultivation level is required to go to that whatever Immortal Palace Ruins you’re talking about?”
She had also only broken through to the Jindan realm not too long ago, and now she was only at the first Jindan layer.
Xu Chuniang nodded her head and affirmed, “You heard right, without Jindan cultivation, even if you have the Immortal Palace Order, you won’t be able to enter.”
