Chapter 507: Sects Outside the Territory

"How could it be so serious!"

Li Mu couldn't imagine the end of the Dharma Age. His cultivation had been improved by planting spiritual plants and absorbing the attributes of spiritual plants. If the Dharma End Age came, he would definitely not be able to plant spiritual plants, let alone cultivation.

His method of cultivation is closely related to the vitality of this vast spiritual world. The vigorous growth of each spiritual plant is the cornerstone for him to resist the years and pursue immortality. If the age of the end of the law comes, all of this will seem to be in vain, leaving Li Mu I can't help but feel powerless as never before.

"The depletion of spiritual energy does not happen overnight. This kind of thing has actually happened a long time ago, but it has started to intensify recently!" Sword Master Feng looked blank, as if he was born at the wrong time and sighed: "I think back to those days when the spiritual world was at its peak and Taoist kings emerged in large numbers. , Ten thousand Dao competed, how glorious it was! Now, that splendid era has become a thing of the past. Even ten thousand years ago, there were no less than a hundred Dao Lords in the spiritual world, but now, even the most powerful sect in the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm, There are only two Dao Lords in charge. If we want to go further, it will be difficult to reach the sky, alas!"

Hearing this, Li Mu was speechless for a moment. He could feel Sword Master Feng's sadness, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Over the course of thousands of years, with the help of many sixth- and seventh-level spiritual plants planted in the seven secret realms, Li Mu was confident to aspire to the realm of the Mahayana Taoist Lord. The Painting Realm Treasure House in his hand was like a moving secret realm, allowing him to temporarily avoid the sharp edges in troubled times. Accumulate resources, collect a large number of spiritual stones and spiritual veins in these thousand years, avoid the coming of the Age of Ending Law, and survive for a period of time without any problem.

But this lingering life is not a long-term solution after all.

The treasure house space cannot produce spiritual power out of thin air, and the spiritual stones and spiritual veins will eventually be exhausted one day. Therefore, in the final analysis, the problem of spiritual power exhaustion must be completely solved.

The two were silent for a long time. Li Mu looked at Sword Master Feng and couldn't help but ask: "Sword Master, after the spiritual energy is exhausted and the end of the law comes, will there really be a day when the spiritual energy will be revived?"

In the face of such grand changes of the times, the power of an individual is extremely small. Even if he aspires to be the Taoist Lord after a thousand years, Li Mu will not have the confidence to face such problems.

Hearing this, Sword Master Feng was slightly startled, thought for a while, and responded: "The recovery of spiritual energy cannot be easily predicted by human beings. But according to ancient records, everything in the world has reincarnation. The rise and fall of spiritual energy also follows this path. In the past , the spiritual world has gone through several cycles of spiritual energy depletion and recovery. Each recovery is accompanied by visions of heaven and earth, the emergence of spiritual beings, and the prosperity of Taoism. "

"Of course!" Feng Jianzhu changed the subject, his tone became a little more serious, and he shook his head and said: "If the Age of Dharma Ending really comes in full force, its duration and depth of influence will be far greater than before. Will there be another day of recovery? When it comes to recovery, it’s all unknown.”

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart, including fear of the unknown and desire for hope. What came to mind, Li Mu looked at Sword Master Feng and put forward his idea: "Sword Master, facing such a dilemma, can you consider finding another way out? ? For example, if you take the initiative to open the seal of the passage between the two realms and look for an opportunity to go to the upper realm, you might be able to find a chance of survival there? "

When Sword Master Feng heard this, a complicated smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The smile contained both recognition of Li Mu's imagination and acknowledgment of the cruelty of reality.

"The opening of the passage between the two realms that you mentioned is indeed possible to ascend to the upper realm, but the difficulties and obstacles are far beyond our imagination. The sealing formation is designed to protect the spiritual world and prevent the intrusion of the demonic abyss. If the seal is unlocked, If we open it, we will face the invasion of the Demon Abyss immediately. What's more, even if the seal of the two realms is broken, whether the upper realm will accept it and whether there is really the source of the spiritual energy we need are all unknown. "Furthermore, Sword Master Feng! There was a bit of helplessness in his words, and he added: "Things in the upper world are far more complicated and changeable than the spiritual world. If you go there rashly, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to find a chance to survive, but you may fall into a deeper crisis."

Facing Sword Master Feng's thoughtful gaze, Li Mu nodded sheepishly.

Sword Master Feng smiled bitterly and continued: "Not to mention the opening of the seal of the passage between the two realms and the invasion of the Demon Abyss into this realm, it is not easy for us to ascend to the upper realm. The upper realm has set a trap for those who ascend in the spiritual realm. There are many restrictions and many tests, and these restrictions are not only related to cultivation and strength. "

"The upper world has extremely high requirements for the cultivation of those who ascend. Those who have not completed the Mahayana or have understood some supreme laws will be difficult to be accepted by the upper world. However, this is only the beginning, and the real test is still there. "The back part."

"Secondly, in order to maintain their own balance and order, the forces in the upper realm have implemented a strict isolation and inspection system for ascended people, and are on strict guard against every ascended person. Few ascended monks can be recognized and accepted by the forces in the upper realm."

"What's more, since the passage between the two realms has been sealed for ten thousand years, communication with the upper world has been cut off. Even if the passage between the two realms is opened and you ascend, you may still suffer cold treatment, rejection, and even suppression by hostile forces." Sword Master Feng's eyes It became deeper and said in a deep voice.

Li Mu frowned, not surprised by the scene described by Sword Master Feng. However, if the spiritual energy in the spiritual world is exhausted, ascending to the upper world is undoubtedly a very good path.

As if he had seen through Li Mu's thoughts, Sword Master Feng smiled and reminded: "Elder Li, you have lofty ambitions! However, ascending to the upper realm is no joke, not to mention that the passage between the two realms has been re-sealed. With the current level of aura, if you want to Breaking through the last level of Mahayana Dao Lord is as difficult as climbing to the sky! Otherwise, the two Dao Lords would not take the risk to go to Jiuyou."

"Besides, the passage between the two realms has not been opened for a long time, and we know nothing about the situation in the upper realm. If we go there rashly, not only may we not get the help we expected, but we may fall into a more dangerous situation. At the moment, we still need to find a solution to the problem of depletion of spiritual energy in the spiritual world. That's the fundamental method." Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and consoled him.

In the eyes of Sword Master Feng, Li Mu's five elements, yin and yang are cultivated together, and he embarks on the ancient road of chaos. If in ancient times, there was plenty of spiritual energy to practice this method, there would be nothing wrong with it. However, nowadays, the spiritual energy in the spiritual world is increasingly scarce and is in danger of drying up. Practicing such a supreme avenue is simply the path to death, and the result is doomed. As for the delusional dream of becoming a Mahayana Taoist and ascending to the upper world, that is fanciful!

Sword Master Feng thought of this, looked at Li Mu, and advised him bluntly. "Elder Li, your talent is outstanding, and the way you practice is unprecedented and difficult to come by. But for this reason, you need to be down-to-earth and move forward pragmatically. Although the method you practice is powerful, it also consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Now in the spiritual world The aura environment is no longer what it used to be. If you continue to pursue this path blindly, you may exhaust your limited vitality and end up in vain.”

Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly startled, and immediately understood what Sword Master Feng meant. However, the skills he practiced had nothing to do with his own efforts and accumulated practice over time. Instead, he relied on planting high-level spiritual plants and obtaining spiritual light groups to improve his cultivation. It was completely There is no need to change to other exercises.

Seeing the thoughtful look on Li Mu's face, I thought he was convinced by me.

"Elder Li, I'm not asking you to give up your pursuit of a higher realm!" Sword Master Feng kept up his efforts, with a little more understanding in his tone, and continued to advise: "But I hope that you can find harmony with the current environment while pursuing it. Although the ancient method of cultivation is wonderful, it is not the only way. Perhaps you can try to integrate other methods or create your own cultivation system to adapt to the coming era of spiritual energy depletion. "

Facing Sword Master Feng's concerned gaze, Li Mu could only smile and nod: "Thank you, Sword Master, for the advice. I will definitely consider it carefully and choose a suitable practice method."

Hearing this, Sword Master Feng showed a happy smile on his face, and then introduced the situation outside Jiuyou Territory to Li Mu.

"Elder Li, do you know that the spiritual world we live in is just a speck of dust in the vast starry universe. There are many unknown and desolate corners in the boundless extraterrestrial star field." Sword Master Feng's voice changed. It is low and mysterious, as if it can penetrate the barriers of time and space, leading thoughts to the distant and mysterious realm.

Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly startled. He was not surprised by this, and replied with a smile: "I have read many ancient books before, and I have some understanding."

"Well, since you have already dabbled in it, let me describe in detail for you how those extraterritorial forces carve out territory and become kings in this vast starry sky." Sword Master Feng nodded and continued.

"First of all, I have to mention the Xuanxiao Sect. They occupy the most fertile area in the Tianxuan Star Territory. The Xuanxiao Sect, like this sect, is famous for its swordsmanship. Within the sect, there are as many swordsmen as clouds."

"The Netherworld Sect is completely different from the Xuanxiao Sect. They occupy the Dark Star Territory and are close to the Jiuyou Land. It is a place that does not see the sun all year round and is shrouded in thick clouds. The Netherworld Sect practices the power of the Netherworld. They are good at controlling the undead and shadows, and their skills are unpredictable and unpredictable. In this star field, the Netherworld Sect has established a huge Netherworld formation, which is the home of the dead souls and provides one of their roots. "

"In addition to these two major sects, there are many forces distributed outside the territory. For example, the Yanyang Sect, which is good at refining weapons, occupies the star field near the Fire Sun Star. The stars there seem to be cast from lava, providing a source of resources for refining magic weapons. Unique conditions; another example is Bixia Valley, which is proficient in pharmacology. They occupy the Muyuan Star Territory where spiritual grass is abundant. The disciples in the valley are all masters of alchemy and medicine, and can refine elixirs that can bring the dead back to life. "

"These sect forces may be strong or weak, overt or covert, but they have all established stable rule in their respective star regions, forming a complex extraterritorial pattern. The extraterritorial world is far more complicated than the distribution of forces in the spiritual world."

"However, the star field where these extraterritorial forces are located is very different from the spiritual power concentration of Qiling Star where we are. Qiling Star, as a pearl in the spiritual world, benefits from its unique geography The location and geological structure bring together the purest and richest spiritual energy in the world, making it a holy land for cultivation that countless monks dream of. In contrast, although the star fields occupied by the forces outside the territory have their own characteristics, most places have their own characteristics. The concentration of spiritual energy is far less than that of Qiling Star, and in some places, the spiritual energy is so thin that it is almost negligible.”

"However, it is this environment that forced the forces outside the region to develop their own unique cultivation systems and ways of survival. The reason why Xuanxiao Sect can stand firm in the Tianxuan Star Region is not only because of its powerful swordsmanship heritage, but also because of their The Netherworld Sect is good at using the special resources in the Star Territory, such as the power of stars, to enhance their own cultivation. "

"The Yanyang Sect and Bixia Valley have brought weapon refining and pharmacology to the extreme in their respective fields of expertise. They not only meet the needs of the sects internally, but also occupy a pivotal position in the overseas market. These sects Although the sect forces are in different environments, they have stood in this vast starry sky for tens of thousands of years in their own way, which cannot be underestimated. "

Sword Master Feng introduced the distribution of forces outside the domain to Li Mu in a torrent of words. At the same time, while the two were talking, the Potian Spirit Ship penetrated the clouds, stepped out of the atmosphere of Qiling Star, and headed towards the depths of the vast universe.

Under the protective formation of the Potian Spirit Ship, the starry sky outside the deck came into view. The stars were like sand and the Milky Way was like a thread. It was dazzling and awe-inspiring.

Li Mu stood on the observation deck of the spirit ship, looking at the strange and magnificent universe outside the window, and his heart was filled with unprecedented shock and excitement.

As the spirit ship went deeper, the two began to feel the unique atmosphere of the world outside the domain.

"Elder Li, look, that is the interstellar route we are about to cross, and it is also a bridge connecting the spirit world to the outside world. Along this route, we can reach Wuling Star in a few days, an extraterritorial resource star controlled by our sect." Feng Jianzhu pointed to a faintly visible starlight track in front of him and introduced it with a bit of pride in his tone.

Li Mu looked in the direction of Feng Jianzhu's finger, and saw a channel outlined by the faint light of the stars looming in the vast sea of ​​stars, like the finest silver line in the sky, connecting the unknown and hope. He took a deep breath, feeling the vastness and freedom from the depths of the universe, and couldn't help but feel a sense of ambition in his heart.

"Wulingxing, as one of our sect's bases outside the domain, is not only rich in resources, but also an outpost for us to develop our power in the outer star field." Feng Jianzhu continued to introduce, and entrusted Li Mu to say, "All the spiritual materials for the formation are ready, and then I will trouble Elder Li."

"Sword Master, you are polite! Li will go all out and live up to your trust." Li Mu smiled slightly and responded sonorously.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, several days have passed quietly in the galloping of the spirit ship.

The driving array of the Potian Spirit Ship roared, consuming a large amount of top-grade spirit stones, driving it like a meteor, cutting through the dark night sky, leaving a trail of dazzling light. As the distance gradually shortened, the vague and distant outline of the Wuling Star in front began to gradually become clear in the field of vision.

Li Mu stood on the deck observation deck, his eyes no longer had the shock and excitement when he saw the universe and the starry sky up close, but instead a kind of expectation of embarking on a new journey.

Master Feng Jian controlled and adjusted the course of the spirit ship with his mind to ensure that it arrived at the destination accurately. (End of this chapter)
