Chapter 660: Secrets of Xianyuan City

What is a secret realm? Lu Ye has never really thought about it.

In the cognition of Jiuzhou cultivators, the so-called secret realm is nothing more than a special space independent of the Jiuzhou world, or a site from a long time ago, or a relic left by a senior master. Moreover, the existence of secret realms exists in both Lingxi battlefield and Yunhe battlefield. There are even many secret realms in Jiuzhou.

Even Lingxi battlefield and Yunhe battlefield themselves are not secret realms?

It’s just that compared with the secret realms in the general sense, the scale of these two battlefields is extremely large.

Each secret realm has its own rules, which hides many risks, but also many opportunities.

Lu Ye has not experienced many secret realms. Strictly speaking, he has only experienced two secret realms, one is Xianyuan City, and the other is the secret realm of Wanshouyu.

Xianyuan City was shrouded in fog, and Lu Ye could not see through it. He recalled the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain and said, "I have been to a secret realm before. It is said that it was a destroyed world, but it was reshaped by the great power of the Heavenly Secret. In that secret realm, everything that the cultivators experienced was what had happened in that world. The cultivators either followed the trajectory of history and participated in some major events that had happened in that world, or tried every means to change the original development direction of that world, sharpen themselves in it, and then obtain all kinds of benefits bestowed by the Heavenly Secret."

There are many secret realms of this type in the Yunhe battlefield. Xia Qianqian once told Lu Ye about this in the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain.

This is also the reason why various schools of cultivation in Jiuzhou flourished, because many small schools were spread from secret realms.

Just like Lu Ye brought out the secret technique that could change the pattern of the beast taming school from the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Beasts, perhaps many years ago, there was no beast taming school or Yanshi school in Jiuzhou, but some cultivators had entered the secret realm with these two schools, obtained the secret techniques of these two schools, and then spread in Jiuzhou.

Ji Yuan said: "In your opinion, what kind of secret realm is Xianyuan City?"

Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said: "Xianyuan City doesn't feel like this type of secret realm to me."

"Xianyuan City is indeed not." Ji Yuan nodded slightly, "The kind of secret realm you are talking about does not belong to Jiuzhou itself, but because of some special reasons, it has become a secret realm that Jiuzhou cultivators can enter."

As for the reason, Ji Yuan did not say, but Lu Ye had a vague guess that the only one who could do this was the mysterious and unpredictable Tianji.

"Xianyuan City... was originally a city in Jiuzhou."

A city that stood proudly at the top of Jiuzhou thousands of years ago and was more powerful than the current first-class sect.

"How did Xianyuan City become like this? There are also Zergs coming to attack the city... Senior Butcher said that you have been fighting this kind of war for thousands of years."

"Yes, thousands of years!" Ji Yuan's eyes flashed with memories, "This is the choice of Xianyuan City, and it is also the choice of all the cultivators in Xianyuan City. It is precisely because of this choice that we have coexisted with Xianyuan City for thousands of years. As for why it has become like this... You can think of Xianyuan City as a wedge to plug the loophole."

Lu Ye was confused. What loophole, what wedge, although he didn't quite understand, but he could feel that Xianyuan City was crucial. If this wedge did not exist, the loophole would appear, and this loophole might lead to some extremely bad consequences.

"Your cultivation is still low now, and you can't see too many things. When your cultivation is gradually higher in the future, you will slowly have many different feelings, but there is one thing you have to remember, the Jiuzhou Continent is not what you see. Only when your cultivation is high enough can you slowly see the truth of this world."

The truth of the world...

I vaguely heard this somewhere before, and Lu Ye couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If other Jiuzhou cultivators came here, Ji Yuan would never tell them these things. But since Lu Ye was confirmed to be the chosen one, it would not hurt to say more. After all, Lu Ye would slowly learn about these things in the future. It would not be a bad thing to prepare him in advance.

"In short, Xianyuan City is very important, so all the cultivators in Xianyuan City abandoned their physical bodies and turned into spirit bodies, leaving their soul imprints in the soul pool. As long as the soul pool is indestructible, even if the spirit body is broken, the cultivators in Xianyuan City can be resurrected."

This is also the reason why Lu Ye can see the butcher and others again. He thought that the butcher team was completely wiped out, but in fact, it didn't take too long for the butcher team to crawl out of the soul pool.

However, the death of the cultivators in Xianyuan City will eventually consume the power of the soul pool. After thousands of years, the foundation of the soul pool is no longer as good as before, so Ji Yuan said that time is running out.

Lu Ye's expression was inexplicable, and he slowly said: "Thousands of years... must be very difficult to endure?"

Ji Yuan looked at Lu Ye in surprise. If ordinary people knew the characteristics of the cultivators in Xianyuan City, their first reaction would be envy.

Because of the existence of the soul pool, the cultivators in Xianyuan City are almost immortal, which is a temptation that cultivators from the outside world can hardly hope for.

Who doesn't want to live forever? But even those great cultivators in the Divine Sea Realm have a lifespan limit.

The cultivators in Xianyuan City, whether they are in the Divine Sea Realm or the Yunhe Realm, can live forever, of course, the premise is that the soul pool is not broken.

"Why do you say that?" Ji Yuan asked.

"Repeating this for thousands of years, constantly participating in wars with the Zerg, even if you don't have to worry about death, it will always feel boring and unbearable... Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not want such immortality. I would rather live a more exciting life and maintain enough respect for death. Only then will life have meaning, right?"

Ji Yuan smiled: "You are not very old, but you have such insights."

Lu Ye said: "Just saying it casually, maybe if I really face death, I might choose such immortality."

Ji Yuan nodded: "Human nature is always complicated. But you are right, it is indeed very difficult to endure, even if everyone had enough when making this decision at the beginning. , but only after experiencing it will you find that for some things, it is not enough to just have awareness. We, the spirits, are immortal because of the soul pool, but we are also greatly restricted. We are completely tied to Xianyuan City and it is impossible for us to leave Xianyuan City in this life. Normally, everyone will sleep in the soul pool. When the Zerg launches a war, they will wake up to resist, time and time again, year after year, like an unbroken cycle. "

Lu Ye looked up at the sky, but found that the huge gap in the sky had disappeared at some point, and said puzzledly: "The insect nest should be in the gap that appeared before. Have you ever thought about counterattacking and destroying the insect nest?" (To be continued)
