Shi Tianhao and Shi Zhongtian's grandparents are both worried about the whereabouts and safety of Shi Ziling and his wife, but since the matter involves the Hades Palace, it needs to be handled with caution.[][].[23][wx].[]
According to the currently known information, Hades Palace has always been hidden in a Middle Thousand World to thrive. The realm passage connecting this Middle Thousand World to the outside world is actually connected to the Void Battlefield.
From the beginning of its birth, the Hades Palace has been constantly dealing with the Void Battlefield. Although the Void Battlefield is strange, unpredictable and chaotic, I believe that even the Hades Palace has limited knowledge of it. But if you want to find a person who has the most knowledge about the Void Battlefield in the Tianyuan World,
The familiar force, without a doubt, must be Hades Palace.
With the opponent watching eagerly from the side, Shi Tianhao and his grandson wanted to enter the void battlefield to find someone, so they had to be careful. The people in the Hades Palace were also secretly coveting them.
The two finally decided to discuss with Lin Feng before making a decision.
Feng Liangji guarded the realm passage leading to the void battlefield, and Zen Master Dade guarded the realm passage connecting the vast land of China. Next, Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi and others continued to explore the internal situation of Xuantian Realm.
At the same time, Shi Tianhao will continue to search for the last bronze void cauldron lost in this middle-thousand world.
Shi Zhongtian was injured before he came out of the Void Battlefield, and just after the battle with the messenger of Hades, he was even more injured.
However, he has reached the realm of Yuanshen. As long as he repairs his injuries, he can return to the realm of oneness with heaven and earth. At that time, the spiritual energy of the surrounding world can be used by him, and he can immediately return to his peak state.
After finally getting together with his grandson, the old man couldn't bear to be separated, so he simply followed Shi Tianhao and others.
Shi Chongtian carefully sensed the flow of spiritual energy in Xuantian Realm, and immediately discovered something that Shi Tianhao and the others had not discovered.
"The auras of thousands of worlds in this area seem to be converging towards one place."
Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing and Tun Tun were all slightly startled when they heard this. After being reminded by Shi Chongtian, they immediately discovered the mystery.
They landed on the ground, which was a mountainous area. The amount of spiritual energy in the mountains was far greater than other places. They found a cave deep in the mountains. After entering the cave, they found a giant cave extending in all directions, like an underground palace.
Deep in the cave, there is a vein of stalactite crystals hidden.
Stalactite crystals. In the cave for thousands of years, water rich in spiritual energy dripped from the stalactites. After a large amount of collection, thousands of kilograms of spiritual water condensed into a crystal the size of an adult's finger. It is an extremely precious cultivation material.
In the past, when Xuanmen Tianzong opened the mountain gate for the first time outside Shazhou City, the Zhou Dynasty sent congratulatory gifts, including a thousand catties of stalactite crystals. It was quite rare.
But what Zhu Yi and others were seeing at this moment was a whole vein of stalactite crystals, which contained an unknown amount of mineral deposits.
Shi Tianhao crushed a little bit, threw it into the air, opened his mouth to catch it, chewed it directly, carefully felt the spiritual energy in it, turned around and said, "The quality is quite high."
Zhu Yi and Yang Qing showed speechless expressions at the same time, but Shi Chongtian laughed loudly: "The bad boy has good teeth."
Tun Tun on the side was even more rude, and just swallowed a huge amount of stalactite crystals in a big gulp, laughing and grinning from ear to ear as he ate, almost so excited that he wanted to reveal his original shape and enjoy the meal.
Zhu Yi pulled her away, carefully felt the changes in spiritual energy, and his expression changed slightly: "The total amount of spiritual energy in this stalactite crystal is gradually losing."
Shi Zhongtian suppressed his smile, walked to the mineral vein, tapped it lightly with his fingers, closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a moment, then nodded slowly: "It is true, the speed of spiritual energy accumulation at this moment is greater than the speed of spiritual energy loss, so the mineral deposits are still accumulating and growing.
state."
"But I can clearly feel that the rate of loss of spiritual energy is in a slow but unstoppable growth. In one or two years, the changes are still very subtle. If you compare it with now a hundred years later, the gap will be very obvious."
"In a little more time, about a thousand years, the rate of loss of spiritual energy will even exceed the rate of accumulation of spiritual energy. At that time, without people mining, these veins will gradually dry up on their own, and even the existing mineral deposits will be exhausted."
Shi Chongtian's expression became much more solemn. For a mortal, a hundred years is a lifetime, but for a cultivator who has formed a golden elixir, a hundred years is not that long.
For Yuanying monks, it is a thousand years, which is just a part of life. But for Yuanshen monks, some people may retreat for a thousand years at a time.
Tuntun curled his lips and muttered: "Then use up these mineral deposits within a thousand years."
Zhu Yi shook his head and frowned: "I'm afraid it's because the existing mineral deposits are extremely large and aggregated into a whole that can suppress the loss of spiritual energy. If these stalactite crystals are mined in large quantities, the loss of spiritual energy may become faster and faster. I'm afraid then
If we can't wait for a thousand years, the balance here will collapse, and by then a large number of stalactite crystals will be scrapped."
Tuntun shouted: "That's better than letting it dry up in vain!"
Yang Qing pondered and said: "Let's look at the situation in other places. I remember that there seemed to be no problem with the water marrow crystal veins."
"No." Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi shook their heads at the same time: "In those places, I actually felt something was wrong, but I couldn't find the reason at the time. Now that I think about it carefully, I'm afraid it's the same situation as here."
Zhu Yi looked at Shi Chongtian: "Senior Shi just mentioned that the overall flow trend of spiritual energy in this world is converging in the same direction. I suddenly thought of this and discovered the problem."
"Now it seems that the loss of spiritual energy in these mineral deposits is closely related to the overall flow trend of spiritual energy in the Xuantian Realm."
Shi Tianhao said: "Let's look at other places."
The total amount of spiritual energy in the Xuantian Realm is not particularly abundant, but there are a few places where a large amount of spiritual energy has been gathered, and as a result, many precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures have been produced.
Shi Tianhao and his party visited these places, even going back to the original water marrow crystal veins for re-examination. As expected, every mineral deposit had the same problem.
The same problem exists in areas where spiritual grass and elixirs grow. In a short period of time, there is enough spiritual energy to promote the growth of spiritual herbs, but as time goes by, these areas will become increasingly barren, until finally they cannot provide enough spiritual energy for the spiritual grasses and elixirs to grow.
Medicine grows.
Compared with the mineral veins, this place is better. After all, spiritual herbs and elixirs can be transplanted. However, if the mineral deposits are excavated and transplanted, they will completely become non-renewable resources if they leave the original environment. If the mineral veins are kept intact, under normal circumstances, as long as they are not mined
Over time, it can be restored and regenerated.
Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi, and Yang Qing looked at each other and could see the solemn look in each other's eyes.
Whether it is Lin Feng or several of them, they all hope to completely occupy this Fangxuantian Realm and turn it into one of the foundations for the future development of the Xuanmen Tianzong.
Under this situation, everyone in the Xuanmen Tianzong naturally hopes to develop in the long term and build an eternal foundation, instead of making one-time deals and leaving just like they did in the Yunlin world.
If they just vote and leave, that would be too easy. All the existing resources will be directly hollowed out. Even if they don't have this ability, Lin Feng himself, Feng Liangji, Zen Master Dade, Shi Chongtian and other powerful souls will come together.
It can still be done.
If you want to build and develop for a long time, the current situation is a bit painful. If the problem of the loss and increase of the spiritual energy of the mineral veins is not solved, then you will not even dare to dig more of the existing mineral deposits. Otherwise, once the balance collapses, the mineral veins will be quickly depleted.
Zhu Yi said in a deep voice: "Since all the spiritual energy is converging in one direction, that should be the crux of the problem. Find that place and then solve the problem."
Shi Chongtian carefully examined the flow of spiritual energy and said, "I can do something to bring you all there together."
"Senior Lao Shi." Zhu Yi and Yang Qing cupped their hands together, and Shi Tianhao looked at his grandfather: "You are injured now, so you should not do this."
Shi Zhongtian smiled and said: "Silly boy, your grandfather and I fought in and out of the void battlefield, but they didn't do anything to me."
As he spoke, Shi Zhongtian pinched the magic formula with both hands and shouted in a low voice: "You guys, hold Yuan Shouyi in your arms and calm your mind."
A white light lit up, covering everyone, and then amidst the roar, the white light flashed and disappeared on the spot.
Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing and Tun Tun were now conscious and could clearly feel the changes in the outside world. They saw the light and shadow in front of them changing rapidly and unpredictablely.
When Shi Zhongtian cast a spell, he did not take them to fly into the void, but integrated them into the general trend of spiritual energy flow in Xuantian Realm.
It's like transforming into a small boat, floating on the Yangtze River, going down the river, and being carried to the final end by the river.
This is something that only Yuanshen monks can do. Shi Zhongtian is injured and cannot integrate heaven and earth in a normal state. Therefore, when casting a spell like this, one needs to be careful to avoid being excluded by the spiritual energy tide of Xuantian Realm.
Everyone followed the flow of spiritual energy and finally landed on the ground again, but it was an ordinary-looking open space. It was completely impossible to tell that this was the place where the spiritual energy of the entire Zhongqian World gathered.
The spiritual energy here is not abundant. If Shi Zhongtian hadn't brought everyone here, Shi Tianhao and others wouldn't have noticed anything strange even if they passed by.
After Shi Zhongtian landed on the ground, he stamped his feet, and a huge crack opened in the ground, spreading rapidly downwards, forming a large rift valley like an abyss.
Zhu Yi and others looked down and saw that the rift valley was bottomless and pitch black, without any spiritual energy dissipating, as if it was a dead land.
Shi Zhongtian flew down with a few people and kept going deeper into it.
After a while, Yang Qing looked up and saw that the valley above his head was like a sliver of sky, with only a faint trace of light left.
At this time, everyone finally felt that there was a faint suction force coming from below. The further down, the stronger the suction force was.
There was the sound of water rushing in their ears, and the group continued to fall, and soon they saw a huge pool of water, pitch black, without any light, like an abyss.
Even the natural light falling from above the head is swallowed up instantly when it comes into contact with the water pool.
Zhu Yi frowned slightly, running the scriptures of the Infinite Light Tathagata Sutra, evolving infinite light, shining on the pool, but it was swallowed up in an instant, and the light could not shine into the depths of the pool. (To be continued...)
