After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1414 Getting to the bottom of things
Even though she said that, He Lingchuan saw her eyes lowered and her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She used to do this when she was questioning him, so He Lingchuan immediately interrupted her: "Mr. Xin, nightmare!"

"Yes, let's continue." Xin Yi stretched out his index and middle fingers to scratch his eyebrows, and brought the topic back. "Originally, the immortals estimated that as the world heals itself, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will recover in 50 to 60 years at the shortest, or 100 to 200 years at the longest. They have also made preparations for this. But——"

"As later generations, we all know that it didn't happen. In the hundreds of years after the catastrophe, the world has not recovered." He sighed, "The spiritual energy is even thinner than after the catastrophe. The immortals and monsters who once fought side by side against the demons began to fight for the remaining natural treasures, caves and blessed places, and even a few magic tools and a few pieces of black crystals. The number of immortals and monsters who died in this battle is countless, almost comparable to the battle between the demons."

He Lingchuan and Sun Fuling looked at each other. The fewer resources there are, the more intense the competition. Even the immortals are very competitive.

"As the struggles between the immortal sects and between the immortal sects and the demon tribes became more intense, we ignored the gradual prosperity of the human race, and also ignored the fact that the demons were infiltrating the human world again under the guise of 'gods'."

"About three hundred years later, the first human nation appeared in the world. The Immortal Sect and the Demon Clan suddenly discovered that another inexplicably powerful force had emerged."

He Lingchuan understood: "Elemental force?"

"Yes, the Yuan force showed its power as soon as it appeared. The human country used it to kill many monsters. The monsters were furious and attacked it in groups, and destroyed it. But the secret of the Yuan force has spread, and the human countries in the world have appeared one after another, like mushrooms after rain."

Sun Fuling understood: "In the hundreds of years since the catastrophe, the war has never stopped?"

"Never. The human kingdom gradually became stronger. In addition to fighting against the immortals and demons, they also fought each other. That situation is like the Golden Plains today." Xin Yi shook his head, "Even if there were no invasion by the demons, there would be wars in this world, big and small, endlessly."

"No wonder it's so difficult for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to revive."

"Yes, the nightmare energy transformed from immortals, demons, and humans after death is sucked away by Tianluo Star and sent to another world. The more young and strong people die, the more nightmare energy the demons get." Xin Yi sighed, "Unfortunately, it took more than 200 years for the Immortal Sect to discover this fact."

"How did you find out?"

"Perhaps it was a secret revealed by a wild god. I don't know exactly what happened." Xin Yi pointed to the sky. "There are 100,000 gods up there, and they all have their own minds. How could they all keep their mouths shut?"

"But it was already the middle of the Middle Ages. Most immortals could not survive the environment and had already passed away. The demon race and the immortal sect also gradually declined. Even if they wanted to reverse the conspiracy of the gods, it was too late to reverse the situation. Later, the world gradually evolved into what it is today."

"The gods are treacherous and cruel, playing with the world in their hands. Three thousand years ago, they launched a strong attack but failed to achieve their goal. Later, they retreated to advance, and they did it with the help of Tianluo Star." He looked at He Lingchuan and said seriously, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. General He, I tell you this, and I tell Commander Zhong the same thing, the gods can never be trusted!"

He Lingchuan knew that he meant Mitian: "I think Commander Zhong has his own plan."

"Commander Zhong is a rare talent, and we all believe that he can make the right choice."

He Lingchuan noticed that he said "we".

Besides him, who else? Lingshan?

Sun Fuling was also curious and asked, "Mr. Xin, did you receive personal instruction from Master Wuhuan?"

"Yes, I was sent to live with my ancestors since I was young. This blessing is envied by my clan members."

He Lingchuan immediately asked, "How many children did the Xin family send into the mountains?"

This is a restaurant, so he used "mountain" to refer to Lingshan. Xin Yi could understand, "Because of my talent and the rules of the mountain, I am the only one in my generation."

Dozens of his cousins ​​are unable to enter Lingshan, and the Xin family itself is a traditional immortal family.

This shows how strict the selection criteria of Lingshan and Wuhuan Zhenren are.

He Lingchuan let out a long "Oh" and secretly confirmed one thing:

This guy should be the brother of Emperor Mou Xin Haiping in later generations, Xin Haining!
According to the information he had obtained, Xin Haining had been a Taoist monk and lived a secretive life, leaving very few clues. Just now, Xin Yi also said that he was the only one in his life who had been a monk in the mountains, so he was most likely Xin Haining.

Sun Fuling then asked: "How did Master Wuhuan, as an ancient immortal, survive to this day?"

"My ancestors were the first group of immortals to enter the blessed land after the catastrophe. They originally wanted to remain in seclusion for 200 years, but they didn't expect that the spiritual energy in the world would not be able to recover, and they would also be unable to return."

He and Sun looked at each other and found that Xin Wuhuan had indeed entered the paradise to avoid the natural disaster.

In ancient times, immortals were divided into different levels, and those who could catch up with the first batch of retreat were not ordinary people.

Sun Fuling asked, "The spiritual energy has not been strong, but the Immortal Wuhuan finally came out, right?"

Xin Yi said softly, "After finding out the reason, they established an organization in the mountains, which was led by the immortals in turn."

"I was born at the right time. It happened that during the period when my ancestor Wuhuan Zhenren was on duty, I went into the mountains to serve him. This is a great opportunity." If it was the turn of other immortals to go out of the mountains to guard, Xin Yi would definitely not have this opportunity.

Sun Fuling asked him, "Is it still Master Wuhuan who is on duty now?"

Xin Yi smiled and said, "Sorry, this is not convenient to talk about."

He Lingchuan followed up on Sun Fuling's question: "Mr. Xin, there is one thing I have been unclear about for many years."

"Oh? Please tell me."

"What kind of existence is the blessed land?"

"Some are in this world, and some are in small worlds, which are places with rich spiritual energy. Some are formed naturally, and some are created by human efforts."

"Can the spiritual energy of the blessed land support the consumption of immortals?"

Xin Yi picked up a piece of tender lotus root and said, "Maybe not. It depends on the concentration and amount of spiritual energy in the blessed land itself."

He Lingchuan thought of Master Dongli.

He was originally in seclusion in an underwater cave by the Xianling Lake, but didn't he die because of the exhaustion of spiritual energy?

It can be seen that "retreat" is not a panacea.

"The immortals have a great demand for spiritual energy, so the key lies in spiritual energy?" He Lingchuan leaned forward slightly, "But I heard that there are still a few immortals hiding in the blessed land. Where did the spiritual energy they consumed come from in the past three thousand years?"

This is what he most wants to ask Xin Yi today!

Even if the spiritual energy of the blessed land will not expand, the amount is still limited, right? How to replenish it once it is used up?

Hearing this question, Xin Yi subconsciously looked at him again, and saw curiosity on He Lingchuan's face.
