"It seems we don't have to continue heading north to find the place of death."
After returning to the inn in Karasuma City, Su Anran spoke.
"Because of the spiritual famine?" Qingyu reacted immediately.
"Yes." Su Anran nodded, "The Tianyuan Secret Realm is a gap attached to the Xuan Realm, so the aura here is not actually infinite, it has a limit. It's just the venerables who opened this gap in the first place.
They are very powerful, or they also know what will happen once these limits are completely used up, so they divided the entire Tianyuan Secret Realm into regions."
Qingyu looked at Su Anran with surprise.
The same goes for the little butcher.
"What do you mean by looking at me like that?"
"How do you know this?" Qingyu blinked.
"Eighth Senior Sister and Ninth Senior Sister told me." Su Anran rolled her eyes and said angrily.
It's not that he doesn't want to show off his talents.
It's just that everyone present except Song Baiye knows Su Anran's background very well, so he can't pretend, so he can only tell the truth.
"So, is this the reason why Tianyuan Secret Realm is divided into five major regions?" Qingyu said, "Did they imitate the regions formulated by Xuanjie?"
"Absolutely." Su Anran thought for a while, and her tone was not as sure as at first, "But within these different regions, there must be more detailed regional divisions, but what is the situation in this regard, that is not ours.
What we can know now is that after all, few people in the monastic community will conduct geological surveys, because this matter has no meaning."
"So, if all the spiritual energy in a certain area is consumed, a spiritual famine will occur?"
"Yes." Su Anran nodded, "According to Linglong Pavilion, spiritual famines are not uncommon in Tianyuan Secret Realm, but they are also not common. It is said that this world once fell into a large-scale spiritual famine.
, even the skills have regressed, and no one in this world has advanced.
Tian's dilemma. I don't know how long it took before the spiritual energy recovered again, and this world also regained the vitality of the monastic world... Judging from the time flow rate of the two worlds, when the spiritual energy of this world gradually recovered, it should be our Xuan
At the beginning of the Third Age of the World."
"No wonder it has been said that the Tianyuan Secret Realm is inseparable from the prosperity of the Xuan Realm." Qingyu nodded suddenly, "Then, based on the current situation in the Xuan Realm, there should be no spiritual famine disasters in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. After all, now
There is plenty of spiritual energy in the mysterious world."
"Senior Sister Ninth said that there is a limit to the spiritual energy in this area." Su Anran emphasized the word "limited", "This approach can certainly protect the entire Tianyuan Secret Realm from losing all its spiritual energy and completely collapsing.
But it also leads to the upper limit of spiritual energy in this world, which is why there will never be monks in this world who can enter the sea of suffering and reach the other side, because the spiritual energy in this world is not enough for them to consume like this."
"For a long time, the Tianyuan monks who have been accustomed to this kind of cultivation situation and rhythm have basically figured out how to avoid the phenomenon of spiritual famine... And Baicao Pavilion and Shennong Sect have been a continuous supply to the Northern Tang Dynasty.
With 40% of the spiritual plant output in the entire Beiling, do you think they don't know how to avoid the spiritual famine? But why is the spiritual famine still breaking out now, causing problems with the harvest of these spiritual plants? Isn't this
Is it suspicious?"
Qingyu just didn't know what the spiritual famine disaster was, but now that she knew the corresponding situation from Su Anran, she understood it.
Of course she would not be stupid enough to think that this was some magical weapon coming out of Beiling - there had been several lost magical weapons being born in the Mysterious World, and each time it was not only accompanied by changes in the heaven and earth, but also the influx of a large amount of spiritual energy.
Consumption, the situation is chaotic anyway. But this kind of situation always has very obvious precursor symptoms, and it can never be an ordinary situation.
Furthermore, if it is really possible that the divine weapon was born, then the Northern Tang Dynasty should block the news now and prevent the news of the spiritual famine from reaching Wushui Kingdom.
Similarly, it is impossible for them to send any envoys to inspect the spiritual fields of Wushui Kingdom.
Rather than saying that they were worried about the spiritual famine continuing to expand its impact, it was better to say that they were on guard against someone causing trouble.
Or rather...
destroy.
"Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider." Qingyu exhaled heavily. She finally understood what Su Anran meant when she said that she no longer needed to go north. "It's going south."
Su Anran also nodded solemnly.
Now, he knows much more about this ferocious beast than when he first entered the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
The Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider is a creature from a long time ago in the Mysterious World. Although no one knows why there is such a ferocious beast in this world, once it fully grows, its destructive power is quite terrifying.
Adult Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spiders generally have the strength of the Earthly Immortal Realm. If they are in an environment without natural enemy restrictions, they can even grow to have the strength of the Daoji Realm. Although such ferocious beasts lack intelligence, they only know that
They act according to their instincts, so they are often unable to reach the other shore. However, if they continue to grow and develop regardless of all costs, their ultimate strength will be stronger than that of ordinary Taoist monks.
In particular, the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider is not a lone beast, it has the ability to control "puppet".
Neither Su Anran nor Qing Yu knew how to calculate the destructive power of ferocious beasts in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, but according to the standards of the mysterious world, the destructive power of social ferocious beasts is three to five times more than that of monks of the same realm.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Since there will be someone who knows the situation in two days, we can just ask the so-called envoy directly then." Su Anran said in a deep voice, "Since the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider has gone south, it is in the north of Beiling.
There's chaos in that area, and we can't open the trade route even if we continue going north, so let's settle the business first."
"That's fine." Qingyu nodded and didn't say much about Su Anran's decision.
Their trip was originally to find the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider and to trade spiritual plants with Beiling, but it was just a side trip. This time, they were able to obtain a small half of the spiritual plant resources from the Wushui Zhao family, which was enough.
They can wait until they purchase other spiritual plants from Xuanjie, and they can wait until they finish dealing with the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider.
So in the next two days, Su Anran and others didn't go anywhere, just waiting for news in the inn.
On the contrary, Zhao Shucheng came here twice in the past two days.
Although they only chatted about common things and didn't mention too many other secrets, Zhao Shucheng's attitude still left a good impression on Qingyu.
The three brothers of the Zhao family in Wushui are distinguished by uncles and uncles. The direct heirs will be named according to the genealogical order after the successor's name is determined.
Zhao Shucheng was the direct heir of Erfang, and his generation happened to be the generation of Cheng.
His eldest brother is Zhao Bocheng, and his third brother is Zhao Zhongcheng.
However, now the head of the Zhao family is the second son of Zhao Shucheng's third brother, Zhao Zhongcheng. The eldest son is not useful enough and cannot inherit the preface of the family tree, so the second son, who is more talented, inherits the third house. And this son Zhao Zhongan also
Indeed, he lived up to the expectations of the third family. Not only did he inherit the power of the third family, he later became the head of the Zhao family in Wushui, and was more promising than his two cousins, Zhao Bo'an and Zhao Shu'an.
Now, Zhao Zhongan is already at the sixth level of the Immortal Realm, and is expected to enter the seventh level within a hundred years. If Zhao Bocheng does not die by then, then the Zhao family in Wushui will have two monks from the seventh level of the Immortal Realm sitting in charge, becoming Jiwu
The Wu family of the Water Kingdom is the third family after the Lei family to have two monks of the seventh level of immortality. The Wu family of the Water Country has a total of seven monks of the seventh level of immortality. Among them, there are three from the royal family Wu family. Lei, who founded his family with martial arts,
There are two people in the family, one each from the Zhao family and the Zhou family.
On the third day, the head of the Zhao family and others who were expected to arrive did not come.
Zhao Shucheng did not show up either.
Su Anran and others did not know what happened, so they did not act rashly.
Then on the fourth and fifth days, there was no news, as if everything had disappeared into the sea.
Especially when they came to see Zhao Shucheng again, they were told that he had left the city three days ago with a team of Zhao family guards. Su Anran calculated the time and knew that Zhao Shucheng left the city the night after meeting them.
After leading people out of Karasuma City, it was obvious that the head of the Zhao family had encountered some unexpected incident.
At this moment, no matter how slow Su Anran and others reacted, they already understood that something unexpected had happened.
But Zhao Shucheng did not tell the matter publicly, so no one in the city lord's palace of Karasuma City knew in what direction Zhao Shucheng took people. However, the housekeeper of the city lord's palace knew that Zhao Shucheng had been with Su Anran and others recently.
They met, so he went to find out more about it, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhao Shucheng and others left the city through the south gate of Karasuma City.
"You and the little butcher stay in the city."
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Su Anran spoke directly to Qingyu.
"Why?" Qingyu frowned.
"You are too weak." Su Anran glanced at Qingyu, "The head of the Zhao family has a strength close to the Daoji realm. It is obvious that the troubles they encountered cannot be solved by the ordinary fairyland. And left alone
You are not very safe here alone, so the Little Butcher will stay to protect you. If necessary, you can also find me through the Little Butcher."
Qingyu pursed her lips and did not continue to speak.
She also knows that strength is her biggest shortcoming. If this problem is not solved, she will really only be a vase in the future. But she is not stupid, so no matter how unwilling she is, she can only do it.
He nodded, indicating that he would obey Su Anran's instructions.
Soon, Su Anran and Song Baiye left Karasuma City.
Looking at the two people leaving, Qingyu exhaled a breath, as if to release all the dissatisfaction in her heart: "Tell me, am I really too weak?"
"Yes." Qingyu nodded unequivocally, "Mom said, if you want to live well in this world, you must continue to improve your strength until no one dares to bully you... But
, it’s not good if the strength improves too quickly, mother is very distressed now, she can’t come to accompany her father.”
Qingyu glared at Qingyu angrily: "Huh! I just asked you one sentence, and you said so much."
The little butcher blinked his beautiful big eyes, and then said: "Miss Qingyu, don't blame me for talking too much, but you are indeed too lazy. You also know the reason why dad came to this world. I guess if
If we can successfully solve the big spider matter this time, I'm afraid it won't be long before we return to the Mysterious Realm. Your current level of cultivation will not allow you to stay with your father here, and it will be even more impossible when you return to the Mysterious Realm.
Already."
Qingyu frowned, and the look on her face was indeed not very good-looking.
Of course she knew what the little butcher said was true.
Su Anran came to Tianyuan Secret Realm just to get rid of the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider, which was the last cause and effect that prevented him from crossing the sea of suffering. Once this happened, he could start trying to cross the sea of suffering. At that time, he would no longer be able to stay in Tianyuan Secret Realm.
In the realm. And Qingyu also knows very well that once Su Anran returns to the Xuan Realm, Shi Lezhi, who is unable to cross the border due to the restrictions of the Tianyuan Secret Realm, will definitely appear next to Su Anran. By then, her life will not be as good as it is now.
So leisurely.
That person is a genuine Venerable from the Other Shore Realm.
Just a pressure can prevent her from getting close to Su Anran.
…
At the same time, about three to five days' walk from Karasuma Castle, several people in embarrassed shapes were hiding in a cave.
Zhao Shucheng's figure stood out clearly.
"Master!" Zhao Shucheng walked in from the entrance of the cave and approached a young man with a face as white as a sheet of paper, his expression respectful.
"How's the situation?" the young man asked weakly.
"The ghost incense has been spread. It should be safe within a few hours."
"That's good." Zhao Zhongan nodded, "How far is it from Karasuma City?"
"Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it will take another two days to return to Karasuma Castle."
"Two days..." Zhao Zhongan sighed, "Is the ghost fragrance still enough?"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head: "The remaining ghost fragrance can only be used twice at most. If we are careful along the way, we should be able to avoid each other for another day. But the last day's journey is a plain without any cover. Even if the ghost fragrance is again
More won't help, after all, the other party is not blind."
"Alas." Zhao Zhongan sighed.
Hearing sighs, a cold female voice sounded in the cave: "Master Zhao, will the next trip be difficult?"
Facing this woman, Zhao Zhongan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Reporting to the princess, this place is still two days away from Karasuma City. We should be able to get a sufficient rest tonight and tomorrow. But in the end
In one day's journey, we have to cross a wilderness, so I'm afraid..."
"Then, can you wait here for rescue?" The woman called the princess said, "After all, when we were attacked, after all, this attack happened suddenly, so the camp was breached, but there were two envoys
With General Lei here, we must be able to regroup quickly, right? So, should we just leave a mark and wait quietly for rescue?"
"Princess, if this is the case, General Lei and the envoy of the sovereign state will find us before my second uncle." Zhao Zhongan shook his head and sighed, "But in fact, the other party still has the manpower and ability to defeat the attack brought by my second uncle.
People, even severely injured me...I am afraid that General Lei and the two envoys of the suzerain country are also in danger."
At this point, the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became solemn and silent.
Zhao Zhongan seemed to realize that what he said was a bit heavy, so he immediately spoke again: "But please rest assured, Your Highness, Princess, one day, I will be able to recover 50% of my strength. No matter how many soldiers are chasing me, I will stay to stop them."
, you only need to follow my second uncle and return to Karasuma City as soon as possible and you will be safe."
