The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 504 Research Projects
Yang Yang and Ning Yuan only knew part of the topic of the power of faith, so when Lu Fu spoke to them about his research direction, the expressions of the two people were rarely in sync.Both of them had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.It seemed that the two people knew every word he said, but when they were put together in one sentence, the two people had no idea what it meant.

However, besides them, there were also Xie Zhi and Xiaochen. The presence of these two people prevented Lu Ax from being left alone.Especially Xie Zhi, after hearing him tell his research direction, frowned and said, "That's why you need phoenix feathers?"

"Yes." Lu Ax nodded, looked at Xiaochen and said, "Since the connection with the demon world was disconnected, I haven't been back to the demon world for a long time. I don't know what the demon world is like now, but I went through such Years of research have found that the abilities of every monster in China have gradually been weakened more or less."

"Isn't it because of the way of heaven?" About this point, even if Lu Fu didn't say anything, Xiaochen and the others felt it.Don't talk about anything else, just talk about Dancing in the Rain!As Ying Long, how strong was he in the War of the Ancients?According to legend, when he left, he drew mountains and rivers on the earth, but now?The last time he was struck by a thunderbolt and had to recuperate for more than half a month, he had to think twice about a large formation to protect the mountain in Penglai Mountain.

This is obviously the difference in strength decline, but logically speaking, this is completely impossible.The practice of monsters will only become stronger and stronger with the passage of time, how can they become weaker and weaker?
What's more, a big monster like Ying Long, who was born with superior fighting strength?His strength will only become more and more powerful with the increase of practice time, how could there be a regression?The so-called heaven rewards diligence is naturally not a lie. It is impossible for people who work hard to practice to regress.Even if it becomes more and more difficult to practice because of the dissipation of spiritual energy between the divine states, at least one should maintain a normal state, even if one does not advance, one should not retreat!

Of course, these are full of loopholes when I think about it now, but at the time, apart from this explanation, no one could think of other explanations.This is just like at the very beginning, ancient humans believed that the sky was round and the earth was round, and that the entire continent was carried by a big tortoise to swim around in the sea, although it seems very ridiculous now.But at that time, it was the most reliable explanation that the ancients could think of.

Of course, Yang Yang and Ning Yuan don't know these paradoxes about practice, but Xie Zhi knows it better than anyone else.He is also a very famous big monster since ancient times. He knows better than anyone else how much his strength has grown and how much he has declined over the years.And he is different from Xiaochen, he has always felt that there is something wrong with this matter.It's just that that's the consensus of most monsters, so he didn't show it.

In addition, although he felt that this was not due to the way of heaven, he never thought that it was due to beliefs or other reasons.In his heart, the regression of his practice and strength may be due to the dissipation of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, making practice more and more difficult.Another possibility is that he was too far away from the demon world. Since the passage between the demon world and the human world was disconnected, he also obviously felt that his strength was getting weaker and weaker day by day.

But thinking about it now, there are still many loopholes.

Just like the theory accepted by Xiaochen and the others, he thinks it is unreasonable. In the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with the demon world. After all, the demon world is just another space they have found.There are no human races in that place, and there is a living environment that most of the monster races like, so after the war between the three clans, a large number of monster races migrated to that place and lived there, and it became the demon world.If you change the space today, it will be the same.

Therefore, it is obviously not correct to attribute the cause of my own practice regression to the disconnection between one dimension and another dimension.But other than that, Xie Zhi really couldn't think of any other possibility.

As early as when the monsters found that their strength was slowly declining, a discussion meeting had already been held, and the final result was just like what Xiaochen said. Everyone agreed that it was the reason of the Dao of Heaven. its balanced.Now that those big monsters who once ruined the world have migrated to the demon world, the witch clan has gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.Then those of them who stay in the human world can easily make the world hang upside down. The big monsters, for balance, it is normal that part of their power will be sealed by the world.

This statement was unanimously affirmed by most of the monsters. Gradually, everyone accepted this state. At most, they felt that the seal between heaven and earth was getting stronger and stronger, and their own strength began to gradually become weaker. stand up.But compared to them, the human race is also like this. From the very beginning, the human race is full of monks, but as far as the current situation is concerned, even if they win the three-clan war, the life of the monks of the human race is getting worse. It's getting worse.

Look at the current monks, and those sects of monasticism that have slowly declined. When they gradually dissipate in the long river of history one by one, the monsters are balanced.From this point of view, the way of heaven is really fair.

But now Lu Ax put forward a different opinion. He looked at several people and said: "Don't you think that thousands of years ago, our strength grew with the improvement of our practice, and the human race's cultivation sects accumulated over time? , the power is getting stronger and stronger, and those monks are all powerful. Back then, some people even established the Kunlun Sect on Kunlun Mountain, but after so many years, where is there any trace of the Kunlun Sect? Don’t you think such a big faction Is it a very frightening thing to disappear inexplicably?"

His words caused a shock to several people, but Yang Yang and Ning Yuan didn't feel it. After all, to them, either Kunlun Mountain or Kunlun School were just legends.They haven't really seen what the legendary Kunlun sect looks like.All they know are just secret legends that have been circulated in the world after a long time.

So of course, Yang Yang and Ning Yuan didn't know that in the heyday of the Kunlun School, they could even use a faction to jointly fight against the Yaozu and Wuzu, which they had never experienced.So they naturally wouldn't understand the shock in Xie Zhi and Xiaochen's hearts after hearing these words.

However, Lu Ax did not give them a chance to breathe, and continued: "Even the way of heaven is a bit too scary! Although everyone says that the world is not benevolent, and all things are regarded as dogs, but in fact, the way of heaven has always had its benevolent side. , it will always give you a glimmer of life for all things and creatures in the world.

As Lu Ax said, the Kunlun faction seemed to disappear overnight. No one knew what happened to them, except that they declared that the Kunlun faction had been banned from the mountain since that day, and no one had seen it again. The disciples of the Kunlun School walked around the world, and no one ever found out where the Kunlun School was.Even the white tiger who lives on Kunlun Mountain doesn't know where that place is.

It was also from that day that Mr. Kunlun also fell into a deep sleep. No one knew what happened, but now with Lu Ax's words, those secrets seemed to reveal a corner of his clothes, just like a stunning dancer dancing, in those beautiful dancers. The layer upon layer of gauze curtains reveal a little bit of skin, which is extremely attractive and extremely dangerous.

"So do you think all of this is due to the power of faith?" Lu Ax's words silenced everyone. After a long time, Xie Zhi finally finished his long thinking and said, "That's why you want the phoenix's feathers." ? But even if there is some power of faith attached to the feathers of the phoenix, what can you do?"

"Indeed, if I only have the feathers of the phoenix, I can't do anything, at most I can use them to refine some magic weapons." Lu Ax took his words seriously, and he nodded slightly, with a bit of the reserve and pride of a master: " So I prepared two other things."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked around at the people in the store, saying word by word: "I have prepared the fire essence and the immortal tree."

After he finished speaking, the whole store was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground. After hearing what he said, Xiaochen opened her mouth wide in surprise.

She stared at Lu Ax with wide eyes, and instantly understood his anxiety when he knew that his things were missing.If these two things are lost, let alone someone like Lu Ax who always regards these things as treasures, anyone who refines weapons, no!In other words, any person will be very anxious after knowing that they have lost these things.

At that moment, Xiaochen not only forgave Lu Fu, but also felt sorry for him!

That is the spirit of fire!

but……

"You... the fire you're talking about is really the fire essence of Zhulong?" Xiaochen swallowed, and stammered to confirm to Lu Ax: "Are you sure it's that thing?"

"I'm sure." Lu Ax nodded, looked at Xiaochen and said, "It's the fire essence that Zhulong held in his mouth. It took me a lot of effort to get it back. The same goes for the undead tree. I spent a lot of money and a magic weapon in exchange for it from one person. Although the undead tree in my hand is still very small, it must be enough for research.”

Talking about the two things he lost, Lu Ax still couldn't help feeling sad. Although he got a promise from the agent that she would definitely get them for him if he had the opportunity in the future, to be honest, he still felt very sad. the pain.
