When Master Sheng mentioned the reason for the disappearance of spiritual energy, Xu Chunniang's heart moved.
She resisted the urge to ask questions and waited quietly for the next step.
Sheng Qingyun moved her fingers slightly, urging a fire snake to move towards the ice. Seeing the ice melting under the tongue of fire, she nodded with satisfaction and continued.
"Originally, you were in seclusion, and I was still thinking about whether to go find you. I didn't expect that at this time, you would actually come out of seclusion.
Maybe it’s really God’s will.”
She sighed with emotion and suddenly asked, "Do you know what great luck is?"
"Great luck?"
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and said uncertainly.
"I only know that every race is blessed by great luck so that it can prosper for a long time. Even the most ordinary low-level monsters are blessed by great luck.
Once the clan is exterminated, the great fortune will be deprived."
Sheng Qingyun nodded, "You are right, but it is not comprehensive enough. Luck is inherited by all things. Not only does the race have great luck, but the entire northwest continent and even the world of Qiankun have great luck."
Hearing this, Xu Chunniang had an astonishing suspicion in her mind.
"Is the disappearance of spiritual energy related to the great fortune of the northwest continent?"
"Yes, in fact, someone had proposed this kind of speculation thousands of years ago, but the loss of spiritual energy was not obvious at that time. This statement was unanimously refuted by others."
At first, Sheng Qingyun didn't want to believe that it was the loss of great luck that caused the loss of spiritual energy.
But as the spiritual energy was weakened more and more, she couldn't help but not believe it anymore.
"For more than two thousand years, a force has been stealing the great fortune of the Northwest Continent.
At the beginning, this power was very weak and the stealing was not obvious. As this power continues to grow, it steals more and more. This is the real reason why the spiritual energy disappears."
Xu Chunniang's face showed a look of surprise, "After stealing for more than two thousand years, how high is the other party's cultivation level? Could it be that he has surpassed the stage of becoming a god?"
"Not impossible."
Sheng Qingyun looked solemn, "However, no matter how high your cultivation level is, limited by the laws of heaven and earth, you can only exert your strength in the late stage of divine transformation in the Qianluo world.
But let alone the late stage of divine transformation, even the early stage of divine transformation, with the current strength of the Northwest Continent, it cannot deal with it."
"Later stage of divine transformation..."
Xu Chunniang's heart tightened, and the figure of Jiao Emperor appeared in her mind.
Such a powerful force is simply not something she can compete with now.
She frowned, "For the sake of my own cultivation, I would not hesitate to steal the great fortune of the entire northwest continent, and disregard the life and death of hundreds of millions of living beings.
Who on earth could do such a crazy thing?"
Sheng Qingyun shook his head, "Maybe the other party is not a human at all? Or maybe it comes from other small worlds and doesn't care about the life and death of all living beings in the Qianluo Realm."
These words struck Xu Chunniang's heart like a bolt of lightning, and several seemingly unrelated things appeared in her mind one by one.
The boundless pseudo-realm, the evil-eyed beasts who have advanced levels of spiritual transformation and fall asleep every once in a while, as well as the monks and mortals who are plundered by the evil-eyed beasts...
The evil-eyed beast has been hiding in the outer world for a long time, and the laws of heaven in the Qianluo world cannot fall on it.
She informed Master Sheng of her speculation, "I suspect that the one who did all this is the evil-eyed beast..."
After listening to her story, Sheng Qingyun shook her head.
"After consulting ancient books, I deduced that the Great Fortune is most likely hidden in the Shiwan Mountains of the Western Regions.
According to your words, the evil-eyed beast is far away in the sky, and it is impossible for it to steal the great luck at such a distance."
Not the evil-eyed beast?
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, "If it wasn't it, who else could it be?"
"This is unknown. The method of smuggling requires one to cast the spell in person. It is so far away, unless it is proficient in the art of incarnation..."
Xu Chunniang's eyebrows jumped sharply, the evil-eyed beast happened to be proficient in this technique!
Back in the pseudo-realm, she not only saw the three Nascent Soul incarnations of the Evil-Eyed Beast, she even fought with them several times.
After Sheng Qingyun learned about this, he also realized that this evil-eyed beast was not simple.
"It is very likely that there are far more than three incarnations of the Evil-Eyed Beast. The one left in the Western Region to steal great fortune is not its body, but its incarnation!"
That makes sense.
Stealing great luck will inevitably lead to backlash.
The evil eye beast's body is hidden in the outer sky just to avoid the laws of heaven in Qianluo Realm.
Sheng Qingyun pondered for a moment, with a solemn look on his face.
"The Evil-Eyed Beast has the ability to transform into gods and has been smuggling it for more than two thousand years. Its incarnation and strength cannot be underestimated.
This time I go to the mountains of the Western Regions and I will go with you."
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"There needs to be someone at the gate, so I'd better go there alone."
Sheng Qingyun knew that this was the best arrangement. She sighed softly and did not insist anymore. She took out a cloak from the storage space and gently shook it open.
"I know that you have outstanding strength, but now that you are in the Western Region, your future is uncertain.
This object is called Tianque, and it is a fourth-level treasure. It can not only hide the body, but also change the consciousness and appearance. Maybe you can find it useful."
Xu Chunniang hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it.
The cloak was made of something unknown, and it seemed to be nothing in the hand.
Sheng Qingyun patted her shoulder and said, "You must come back alive. The old monster Blood Baby is not dead yet, and the sect still needs you.
Even if you don’t find the land of great luck, it doesn’t matter.”
Xu Chunniang put away her cloak and nodded vigorously.
"Before I leave, I will set up a large formation to protect the sect. Even if the old monster Blood Infant comes, I will make him return in defeat!"
"What you said makes me look forward to it."
Sheng Qingyun's eyes lit up, she had suffered a lot at the hands of the old monster Blood Baby.
It would be great to make him unhappy.
"I have some guesses about where the place of great fortune is."
Sheng Qingyun took out a roll of dated maps, spread them out, and pointed to several places on the map.
"Here, here, and here, these places all had a great history in ancient times. Later, with the changes in the environment of heaven and earth, ancient Kunlun disappeared, and these places were gradually forgotten.
I heard that the founder of our Xiaoyao Sect came from here."
"Is ancient Kunlun the legendary Kunlun Fairy Mountain?"
Xu Chunniang's heart moved slightly. When she was overseas, she heard the name Kunlun mentioned more than once.
"Yes, but the so-called Kunlun Fairy Mountain is actually just a mountain with more spiritual energy. It disappeared a long time ago."
After Sheng Qingyun finished speaking, she printed a map and gave it to Xu Chunniang.
"This map is a unique copy and was handed down from my master. I won't give it to you because I only have this copy."
Xu Chunniang took the jade slip and put it away, saying solemnly.
"Thank you, Master Sheng. I will definitely come back safely."
Sheng Qingyun sighed inwardly, secretly, she didn't want Xu Chunniang to take this trip.
But the appearance of strange phenomena in heaven and earth is the final warning issued by the Qianluo Realm.
If we continue to let this matter go, no one can bear the consequences.
