The time from entering the rammed earth city to now sitting in the coffin digesting and absorbing the essence of the sun is less than one day.
In anyone's opinion, this may be excessive and impulsive. Liu Pan does not deny this, because it is his choice.
The more Liu Pan knew about the current Tianfeng Continent, the more scared he became.
The more you know, the closer you are to the truth.
This is a world where cultivation resources are about to be exhausted. As an author, Liu Pan is very clear about the settings in his writing.
However, after experiencing all kinds of things in this world and reading too many ancient historical books, Liu Pan had already realized that what he set was only a declining world in his personal ideal state.
Just like plants growing in arid desert areas, it is difficult for people who don't understand it to imagine how developed their root systems are.
It is true that Liu Pan is the author of fantasy novels, but he had never personally experienced any fantasy world before traveling to this world.
Therefore, even if his setting does not seem to be problematic in some aspects, if it is really applied to the real fantasy world, it is like a layman typing out a string of code on a whim.
Not bad.
For this world, unless there are people or gods who do not belong to this world to transform it, or history can be reversed, Liu Pan really doesn't see much hope.
For a person who has gone to school for several years and knows the law of conservation of energy, it is not difficult to explain the depletion of cultivation resources.
Energy will neither be created out of thin air nor disappear out of thin air. It will only be converted from one form to another form, or transferred from one object to other objects, while the total amount of energy remains unchanged. This is universal in nature.
One of the basic laws.
Therefore, the simplest explanation that can be given for the reason why the cultivation resources in this world are gradually exhausted is:
The energy of heaven and earth here is being transformed into energy that cannot be used for monks' cultivation due to some unknown reasons.
Or, the vitality of this world is leaking out!
Moreover, the possibility of both situations existing at the same time cannot be ruled out.
The vitality of heaven and earth is decreasing. This is a conclusion that can be drawn from many historical and ancient books through analysis and comparison.
In fact, the vitality of heaven and earth in the world of cultivation will gradually decrease, which is inevitable. Because after a monk reaches the peak of cultivation, he will break into the void and leave this world, and his cultivation cannot be turned into the vitality of heaven and earth and left behind.
However, it has been a long time since the monk Shattering Void left this world...
This is a declining world. As the author, Liu Pan knew it early on. Even after discovering that he had physical problems, he imagined that he would never be able to leave this world.
All the familiar people around him will die one after another, but he personally will survive for a long time because of the immortal body of a zombie, until his soul is exhausted and can no longer support it.
However, just after entering Xiaoyue Peak and discovering the body of the demon corpse in the "Holy Coffin", Liu Pan suddenly realized that the reality was far worse than he thought.
Originally, in Liu Pan's consciousness, as long as his soul remained immortal, his zombie body would be immortal forever.
However, when he sensed that only the "shell" remained of the body of the demonic corpse in the "holy coffin", all the information about "immortality" in his mind was instantly stimulated.
And this also made him understand that even if his soul is immortal, his zombie body cannot survive forever.
There is no eternity in this world!
Liu Pan didn't know whether there were immortal or immortal beings in other fantasy worlds, but at this moment, he was extremely convinced that there was no eternity in the world where Tianfeng Continent was located.
Even those Martial God Realm monks who shattered the void and left this world in history probably did not achieve eternal life as in the legend.
One cannot step into the same river twice.
Regarding his physical body, Liu Pan did not know the exact reason that kept it at the age of sixteen.
Over the years, he has never noticed any obvious signs of decay and decay in his physical body (excluding the state of the physical body after the spirit soul left the body).
However, because of this, Liu Pan has always misjudged a situation, that is, although his physical age will not increase with the passage of time, it does not mean that all the states of his physical body have been
Freeze.
His physical body never stopped "growing".
Just because the outside doesn't change doesn't mean the inside doesn't change either.
Now, even though Liu Pan's physical body remains the same in appearance, to put it bluntly, it is no longer the physical body he had just traveled to this world.
Everything will gradually decay over time.
The reason why Liu Pan failed to notice that his physical body was declining was because the physical growth state was stronger than the declining state, or the two were in the same state.
Because of his cultivation, Liu Pan was able to maintain the state of his physical body by absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth or the essence of the sun and moon. However, he was unable to suppress or suspend the decay and consumption of the physical body itself.
The moment he discovered the corpse of the demon in the coffin, Liu Pan understood that the zombie's body was not "immortal".
Today's "immortal" is just that he has ignored that he has been deliberately balancing the "breathing" of his physical body subconsciously. Once he realizes and deliberately controls this subconscious behavior, the consequences...
The decline of the physical body will gradually intensify as time goes by. When one day, due to some force majeure reasons, the balance of the physical body's "breathing" cannot be maintained, then it will be the time to truly start to decline.
Because he understood this at that moment, Liu Pan's originally calm mood became a little panicked.
This is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Fortunately, Liu Pan would not do anything impulsive or brainless that would lead to death. He did choose a path after assessing his own strength and possible risks.
Although he is confident, if he has to face the siege of several powerful men in the Holy Realm at the same time, even if he can survive, he will have to pay a very heavy price.
Therefore, Liu Pan did not "attack forcefully".
However, because of the impact of the information that came to his mind in an instant, Liu Pan gave up the plan of exploring more mountains before taking action, and instead started taking action directly.
After negotiating the terms with the middle-aged man in the Holy Realm and successfully swallowing the gray-white bead composed of the essence of the sun and moon, Liu Pan suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little too nervous before.
Sometimes, due to our own subjective reasons, the more we think about certain things, the more mistakes we make.
It is true that the Earth Saint is one of the eight most powerful saints in the Tianfeng Continent. The ancient historical books do indeed record the "Corpse-raising Lineage" of the Earth Department. There is even a mysterious and extremely feng shui formation in the Rampan Earth City...
However, if you think about it carefully, how is it possible that all dangers exist objectively?
Needless to say, Tusheng probably mastered some of the methods of the "zombie-raising lineage" back then. The risk factor for Liu Pan, who is a zombie, is much higher than that of any other powerful person in the holy realm.
But the Feng Shui formation of the Kowloon Pilgrimage... was either deliberately modified, or it was simply an incomplete Feng Shui formation. Comparing the two, Liu Pan felt that the latter was more likely.
The reason why I think so is very simple, because there is no saint in the Feng Shui formation of the Kowloon Pilgrimage!
In Liu Pan's previous observation, the eight series of six-pointed star-shaped heaven and earth energy gathered here and merged into the essence of the sun and the moon, and then the entire Feng Shui formation had no follow-up.
It stands to reason that since the Kowloon Pilgrimage is a pilgrimage, the natural, fused essence of the sun and moon should be guided to the "holy" position like the gathered six-pointed star-shaped vitality of heaven and earth.
But in fact, Liu Pan only felt the "rich" sun and moon essence slowly overflowing from the corpse of the demon corpse, and did not notice any sign of being guided.
In the final analysis, Liu Pan was a little disappointed with this. Because he was very curious, if the essence of the sun and moon was guided to flow to the "holy" position, would it also merge together to become another new energy like the vitality of heaven and earth?
The essence of the sun represents yang, and the essence of the moon represents yin. If yin and yang are compatible, will this become some kind of supreme power?
However, now Liu Pan can only think about it for a while, after all, there is no follow-up to this Feng Shui formation.
…………
At this moment, the gray bead condensed from the essence of the sun and moon in Liu Pan's body had shrunk by nearly two-thirds.
Liu Pan could feel that the bones all over his body were becoming stronger and stronger, and his perception was slowly improving.
Liu Pan had no choice but to swallow this bead made of the essence of the sun and moon. He could not think of any other good way.
To strengthen the physical body, ordinary practitioners only need to work hard to achieve results. However, for a zombie-like body, ordinary practice cannot even achieve the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
What's more, Liu Pan's current cultivation level is firmly stuck at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, unable to make any progress, and he can't find a way to improve even if he works hard.
Liu Pan is very eager to absorb the power of the essence of the sun. Because as his flesh and blood and bones strengthen, his special perception will also strengthen.
The intensity of his perception was already almost divine. Liu Pan felt that if he took a step further, he would be able to see the origin of the world clearly, so he did not want to give up this opportunity, and for some reasons, he did not want to wait.
If he swallows this bead made of the essence of the sun and moon, there is no doubt that the flesh and blood in his body will be corroded by the essence of the sun in the bead, and his bones will gradually decay due to the essence of the moon.
But in contrast, in a short period of time, the essence of the moon can ensure that the flesh and blood in his body can withstand the corrosion of the essence of the sun. The essence of the sun can also push the strength of his bones to a new height in a short period of time.
As for the saturation and balance of the sun and moon essence in the body, Liu Pan is not worried.
The main body of the sun essence is integrated into the bones, and the spilled part will be "neutralized" with the moon essence on the flesh and blood.
A small part of the essence of the sun is used to repair the flesh and blood corroded by the essence of the sun. Most of it, the bloody mist that is constantly overflowing from his body at this moment is...
