I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking
Chapter 707: Underground Space: Clear and Turbid Rise and Fall
"This is it..."
At this moment, Lin Chen sensed the information in the jade slip in his hand and looked in front of him, his eyes flickering.
In front of him was a vast and wild flat land, but in the center, there was a huge pit sunken downwards, so deep that it seemed like a crack leading to the Netherworld. The absolute darkness brought a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow, which made all the cultivators who saw it shudder.
But Lin Chen knew that this was not a crack leading to the Netherworld, but the entire Penglai Island, where mortals lived, and it was also the only way to the underground Sleeping Dragon Spiritual Vein.
With this thought, Lin Chen walked directly to the entrance of the abyss. Along the way, countless flashing spiritual lights and terrifying formations and restrictions appeared beside him, and they dissipated because of the summons of the Divine Sky Gang Fa Dao in his hand...Finally, he stood in front of this dark abyss that seemed to swallow everything.
Then, he jumped down!
...
The darkness receded like a tide, and at the end, a little light illuminated the environment in front of him, but even so, it was dark everywhere. There was a little light above his head, but it was far less bright than the sun.
Below him was a vast plain. Looking from the sky, he could vaguely see that many cities were like building blocks sitting on the ground, and black dots were wriggling in the city. They were mortals.
And when he came to Lin Chen's space, an indescribable force descended directly from the unknown.
In an instant, the mana in Lin Chen's body began to stagnate rapidly, and the golden elixir began to dissipate little by little. Strands of white spread in his hair, and even his face aged rapidly at this moment... In less than a few breaths, the immortality of the cultivator disappeared from him!
Buzz!
And at this moment, the talisman of the Shenxiao Gang Fadao in Lin Chen's arms made a clear sound, and the power that enveloped his body disappeared instantly, and his whole body returned to its original state.
Lin Chen did not seem surprised by this, but turned into a stream of light, like a meteor falling from the sky, landing on the earth, raising dust all over the sky.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky. In the far distance of his sight, it was not a vast and boundless chaotic void, but a rock barrier with a metallic luster, covered with sunlight moss, casting a little light:
"So this is... the underground world on Penglai Island!"
The underground world was also called the Endless Abyss in ancient times!
According to legend, in ancient times, the surface of the earth was only a small part of the world. In addition to the thirty-three heavens and the Nine Netherworlds that existed in the world with the Sumeru world, which was half a dimension higher, there was also the Endless Abyss!
According to ancient records, this abyss has nine layers, each layer is comparable to a heaven, with different scenery, and countless terrifying ancient alien races. In the end, there is even an extremely terrifying existence that controls the core of the earth, comparable to the Mother of the Earth's Core who is born in harmony with the Tao.
But none of these could stop the footsteps of the ancient cultivators. In the end, the entire underground surrendered to the feet of the ancient cultivators and became part of their glory!
But unfortunately, since the bloody battle of all races and the ancient demon disaster, the Nine-Layered Abyss has been almost completely annihilated. Only a very small part of it has survived by chance and became the seal of the Heaven-Covering Array and these scattered underground spaces.
For example, at this moment, Lin Chen is in the underground world under Penglai Island, and it is also the place where mortals live on this island of immortal cultivation!
And further down is one of the only four high-level spiritual veins left in this world - the Wolong Spiritual Vein!
"I really didn't expect that the people closest to the Wolong Spiritual Vein on Penglai Island are mortals who have no spiritual roots and cannot practice..."
The place where Lin Chen stood was a small hill made of huge rocks, and outside was a vast plain terrain with a large number of shrubs.
He stood on a small hill, his eyes flashing with spiritual light, as if he could see through a thousand miles of distance, the city towering above the earth, and the densely packed humans like ants in an ant nest.
"Let the mortals who have no spiritual roots and find it difficult to embark on the path of cultivation live in the underground world closest to the Wolong Spiritual Vein, in order to prevent the cultivators from stealing themselves?"
"No, it doesn't feel that simple. The strange situation I just entered here has made me understand that the most concentrated power of the Dharma-ending Array on the entire Penglai Island is in this underground world."
"When a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core comes here, the mana golden core in his body will involuntarily disintegrate, and within a few breaths, he will become a mortal, not to mention those demons. Any evil demons who are eyeing the Wolong Spiritual Vein will be no different from mortals when they come here. How can they pass through the underground strata and go deep into the core of the spiritual vein? Heart? Compared to those formations and restrictions that can be found and exploited, this is the best defense. "
"Directly depriving the enemy of their ability is far more practical than simple defense, just like killing the enemy is the best protection for teammates."
"But if that's the case, why put these mortals in the underground world? Could it be that they want to select spiritual root mortals from them to supplement the bottom of the Penglai Island cultivation world? "
"No, that's not right. In such an environment, the probability of mortals giving birth to spiritual roots is too small, and it is completely not worth the loss, so it should have another purpose..."
Lin Chen's eyes moved, and he observed the surrounding environment. At this moment, he found a clue.
"The land here..."
He squatted down, picked up a little soil with his index finger, and frowned slightly.
The land here is not like the ground, which is healthy yellow-brown, but rather dark, with a hint of dullness, like long-dried blood.
And the most important thing is that Lin Chen felt a faint evil spirit and... curse on it.
"The plants grown on this land... are poisonous." Lin Chen's eyes sank slightly, "If a cultivator eats it, it will consume the true energy and magic power in the body. If a mortal eats it, it will shorten his lifespan and his body will slowly approach the dead. Once dead, it will be a good material for refining Yin corpses. What is the Immortal Alliance trying to do? Can't they raise corpses... Wait!"
Lin Chen seemed to have thought of something and stood up suddenly. He suddenly remembered his previous experience.
The source of the devil's way in this world, the so-called devil's energy, is the extreme resentment of living beings, the unwilling obsession, the curse that wants to destroy everything, which is integrated into the dead air, yin energy, and evil energy of the world, and the power of the end of the world and the earth is born.
This devil's energy gave birth to monsters, formed evil spirits, gave birth to curses, polluted the veins of one side, and even appeared in broad daylight, devouring all living people, polluting the veins, and finally caused the laws of the entire world to be distorted and sink, and return to chaos.
And the East Sea Immortal Alliance, over the past millions of years, the deep darkness accumulated by these heavy resentment and curses is absolutely unimaginable!
The top leaders of the Immortal Alliance should not be unaware of this. After all, after millions of years, the alliance still has a foundation, and the long years are enough to give birth to countless knowledgeable people who can see this, so they must have come up with a solution or delay.
And this method may be the underground world in front of us for mortals to live in!
As soon as he thought of this, the spiritual light in Lin Chen's eyes turned into a faint yin energy, and everything in his vision also changed drastically at this moment.
The originally dim and gloomy world, in his eyes, completely turned into dead black and white at this moment.
The ground under his feet turned into dark soil at this moment, and the faces that emerged on it were numb, hideous, fearful, resentful, or unwilling... without exception, were all filled with deep-marrow pain. They were embedded in the earth one by one, and were worn away and melted little by little in this Dharma-ending environment.
The so-called bushes, trees, forests... all turned into dark and withered bodies at this moment, and all plants were covered with a faint curse.
The most terrifying thing is the sky. Looking up, one can see gray snow falling from the sky. But if you look closely, it is not snow at all, but hideous faces. Their eyes reveal resentment, hatred, anger, grief, and hatred that cannot be washed away even if you pour out all your efforts. But no matter how they resist, they sink down little by little like turbid air.
Lin Chen walked forward little by little, crossed the river that seemed to be flowing with corpse water, crossed the jungle of mummies, stepped on the land with countless resentful faces, and came to a city where humans live.
In the eyes filled with yin, this human city seemed to be built in the netherworld, with traces of corruption and blackness everywhere. Even the mortals walking on it were pale and stiff, like walking corpses.
The scene here is similar to the ancient corner of the underworld.
Logically speaking, the resentment and curse accumulated here, accumulated over a long period of time, is enough to transform into the demonic nature he saw in the past, distorting and tampering with the cognition of all living beings, and turning this place into a real demonic domain.
However, under the restrictions of the Ten Directions Forbidden Spirit Heaven and Earth Array, these resentment and curses not only cannot gather, but are instead being dissipated bit by bit.
After all, the foundation of all the extraordinary things in this matter lies in the spiritual energy. Even the demonic energy is transformed by the resentment, resentment, curse, evil, and all the darkness of human hearts of living beings.
But if the world enters the end of the law era, the activity of the spiritual energy will decrease or even become silent, and the demonic energy born from the spiritual energy will naturally lose its foundation and slowly dissipate.
"But the premise is that it is the real end of the law era, and only then can the fallen demonic energy be eliminated. This place is just an imitation, and there is still a trace of extraordinary foundation left, which also becomes the basis for the existence of demonic energy, but it is hidden on the surface. Perhaps only the real end of the law era can solve all this. This may also be the situation in which the spiritual energy in the world outside the world dissipates and revives in the record. Perhaps it is the self-rescue of the world itself..."
The revival of spiritual energy may itself be a self-rescue of the world.
"But if the spiritual energy really dissipates, all the practitioners in this world will die. They must be unwilling, and they may take away the origin of this world, and eventually lead to the collapse of the world..."
"It's really funny to say that it is not natural disasters that destroy intelligent creatures themselves, but themselves..."
A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, but his expression did not change at all, and he continued to observe everything in front of him.
Although the entire underground space seems to be a scene of the nine underworld, there are great anomalies in it.
The ghosts that kept falling from the sky were transformed by the monks who were full of resentment, unwillingness, and curses. They landed on the earth and together formed everything in this underground world.
Along with them, there were also some spiritual lights like fireflies in the summer night, rising from the ground and floating upwards.
This is... the soul of a mortal.
No, not only that, there is also the spiritual energy belonging to the Wolong spiritual vein!
In this underground space where the Ten Directions Forbidden Spirit Heaven and Earth Array is the most powerful, all the turbid air such as Yinsha, death, curses, etc. accumulated in the upper cultivation world are sinking continuously, forming this underground world.
The souls of mortals are the pure air, and the spiritual energy of the Wolong Spiritual Vein is constantly floating up, becoming the source of spiritual energy in the cultivation world of Penglai Island.
This scene is like the rise of pure air and the fall of turbid air when the world was first created!
At this moment, the veil of the so-called East China Sea Holy Land Penglai Island was completely unveiled to Lin Chen.
The top of the entire Penglai Island is the top of the Immortal Alliance. They enjoy the essence of the sun and the moon between heaven and earth, the spiritual energy of the Wolong Spiritual Vein, the endless space, and the vast world. They can be free and at ease to pursue the so-called fate of longevity.
Going down are the middle and lower levels of the cultivation world. They are responsible for refining elixirs, conquering foreign lands, purifying the spiritual energy below, collecting the essence of the sun and the moon, and continuously transporting it to the upper level.
At the bottom are the vast number of mortals.
They live in the underground space, carrying the evil spirits, death energy, curses, earth turbidity, and fire poison dropped by the upper monks... As carriers of turbid air, their bodies carry all these things, and after death, they are thrown into the outside world, transforming into hundred-year-old zombies, thousand-year-old evil monsters, and ten-thousand-year-old corpse kings, becoming weapons used by monks to conquer the creatures of the outside world, while their souls become the carriers of the spiritual energy of the Wolong Spiritual Vein, rising continuously to Penglai Island...
"Although it is a different world, why does the layout of Penglai Island feel so much like the cyberpunk style in my previous life's novels?"
The capitalists at the top live on the floating city, enjoying the bright sunshine, clean water, and fresh air. The middle and lower levels below them serve them and provide It provides the source of all enjoyment, while the lowest level, or those living on the earth, rely on the garbage dropped by the floating city above their heads to survive, and use their own bodies to help nature complete the degradation...
"But if it continues like this, sooner or later there will be a problem. The deep darkness of millions of years will erupt, enough to make this world that has experienced the bloody battles of all races and the ancient demon calamity completely sink. At that time, except for Tianzun who can escape from this world, I am afraid that no one can escape the fate of destruction..."
"So this world that destroys everything must be stopped, and if you want to stop it, you have to dissolve the resentment accumulated over millions of years..."
Lin Chen's figure disappeared on the earth and began to drill deeper into the ground.
He didn't care about the coming of the catastrophe, because he didn't care about the life and death of the creatures in this world.
But Lin Chen didn't allow this world to be destroyed, because let's not talk about the road to the unity of the way, in this world, but the existence of the ancient cultivators, and the seemingly true and false feeling of hometown, let him absolutely not let this world be destroyed.
Therefore, he had to set up a hidden hand in the Penglai to Wolong Spiritual Vein before the next war, not only to wipe out the high-level combat forces of both the righteous and evil paths, but also to establish his power. He was also trying to reverse the turbidity and turn the yin into yang, turning the deep darkness of millions of years into a bloody gold mine, so that he could ascend to heaven in one step, and completely transform into a Heavenly Venerable after crossing the transformation of the spirit...
"Ghost Ship..."
At this moment, Lin Chen called up the spirit that was undergoing corpse disintegration in the ghost ship.
And his body was constantly sinking down, sinking down, sinking into the Wolong Spiritual Vein underground...
