Chapter 249 Qingzhou’s general situation, return to Tao and Heaven?
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that familiar yet slightly unfamiliar figure.
"Master Patriarch..."
Lin Chen couldn't believe it when he saw the Patriarch Changchun in front of him.
A few years ago, when Lin Chen met Changchun Patriarch for the first time, Changchun's face was as young as a twenty-year-old man, and his whole body exuded an elegant aura.
But now, after just a few years, Changchun's true appearance has changed drastically.
He has silver hair and wrinkles on his face, as if he is an old man on the verge of death.
If Lin Chen hadn’t sensed Changchun’s aura, he would have almost not recognized him.
Seeing the appearance of Master Changchun, Lin Chen felt his heart twitch, frowned and asked:
"Grandmaster, how did you end up like this?"
Master Changchun waved his hand and was about to speak when he suddenly coughed.
“Cough, cough cough…”
Seeing this, Lin Chen quickly stepped forward and helped Changchun Master.
Changchun Master said that he was fine and said:
"The life span is about to end, the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry... the natural signs of aging appear..."
Lin Chen was silent after hearing this. He heard that Changchun Master was seriously injured in the battle half a month ago.
I didn’t believe it at first, but now that I saw it, it was more than just a serious injury.
He clearly hurt his origin, and he will die soon...
Master Changchun seemed to see what Lin Chen was thinking, shook his head and said:
"I am originally Life is short, and a Yuanying cultivator cannot live more than a thousand years.”
"And I have practiced the Evergreen Jue and have lived for more than 1,300 years... I have no hope of becoming a god, but I won't live much longer."
After hearing this, Lin Chen didn't know how to comfort him.
Nascent Soul has a limited lifespan. Even if Changchun Master lives longer, his life span will be over.
With such a lifespan, even an immortal would find it difficult to resist.
"Ancestor, I heard... you dismissed all the disciples of the Changchun Sect..." Lin Chen thought about it for a while and then asked.
Master Changchun nodded, without much sadness, and just said calmly:
"The Demon Sect is powerful. If we don't dismiss the disciples, will we stay in the sect and wait for death?"
"I If the thousands of disciples of the Changchun Sect go their separate ways, they might still have a chance to survive."
"Staying in the Changchun Sect is just waiting for death..."
Lin Chen heard this. He nodded and asked again:
"Then Patriarch, why...don't you leave?"
Lin Chen frowned.
Changchun Master is good at gathering energy and dispersing form, and his cultivation level is close to the late Yuanying stage.
With such strength, if you want to leave Yan Lai Realm and go to Wendao San City, you can even have a place in Wendao City.
Changchun master said calmly:
"I told you, I won't live long."
As he said that, he looked at Lin Chen and advised:
"Lin Chen, you are different... you are still young, not It’s time to swim through this muddy water.”
After hearing this, Lin Chen pursed his lips, he didn’t want to swim.
I was originally looking for Master Han Jihai, but I haven’t found him yet.
He also encountered Yan Laicheng and other things. What he saw and heard along the way, how could Lin Chen just sit back and ignore them?
Master Changchun seemed to see what Lin Chen was thinking, he smiled and said:
"Lin Chen, let me tell you a story."
"Thousand Years In the past, there were three disciples of the Taoist Sect who were highly qualified and ambitious for the world."
"They have been practicing in the sect for hundreds of years and have reached the perfection of the Golden Elixir. In order to seek opportunities for Yuan Ying, they traveled around the world. …”
Lin Chen's heart moved slightly after hearing this, and he thought of the Lou Zixian he met in Daocheng.
I had a guess in my mind that the disciple the Patriarch was referring to was probably himself.
But the three disciples...
Lin Chen reacted quickly.
The three sects of Yushou, Tiandan, and Changchun Sect share the same spirit. It is said that the three patriarchs were sworn friends when they were young.
From this point of view, it is indeed true.
Furthermore, the three patriarchs are probably all disciples of the Taoist Sect.
The Patriarch of Changchun came from the Taoist Sect Formation Peak; the Patriarch of Tiandan came from Dan Peak; the Patriarch of Beast Control came from Spirit Beast Peak...
Lin Chen kept thinking in his mind.
Changchun Patriarch spoke slowly, his eyes lost in reminiscence.
"Those three brothers traveled to half of Qingzhou, and finally went to the eastern region of Qingzhou and the Yanlai Kingdom..."
"The Yanlai Kingdom at that time was not as peaceful as before."
“Demon cultivators and calamity cultivators are everywhere, and mortals are being slaughtered like ants... ...Well, it is somewhat similar to the current Yan Lai realm.”
“At that time, the Ghost Exorcist Sect, the Puppet Hall, and the Sacred Heart Sect were still the three largest forces in this land...”
< br>“The entire eastern region of Qingzhou is regarded as a paradise for demon cultivators.”
Lin Chen listened quietly and had a picture in his mind.
The Demon Sect has only been in power for more than twenty years, and Yan Lai Realm has just been invaded, and it is already in the current miserable situation.
It can be seen how rampant the demon sect was before the three righteous sects existed thousands of years ago.
“Later, the three monks traveled all the way, became successful in their cultivation, and entered the Nascent Soul stage one after another.”
“Then they began to think of staying in the Yan Lai realm and establishing a sect. .”
"Since the demonic cultivators are rampant, we should cultivate a group of righteous monks to fight against the demonic sect, so that the mortals and monks in the Eastern Region can be at peace."
"For thousands of years, after several wars, the power of the demonic sect has Being constantly weakened. Mortals are no longer afraid of monks, and Jie cultivators have become rats on the street, and everyone is shouting to beat them..."
Reminiscing flashed in Patriarch Changchun's eyes.
“Ahem...”
After coughing twice, he continued:
"Unfortunately, the good times did not last long... Thousands of years have passed, and one of the Yuanying monks is about to expire, and the Demon Sect is showing signs of rekindling."
"In this case, the other two Yuanying monks The monks began to think of completely destroying the demon sect."
"So, the three Nascent Souls fought a desperate battle with the Demon Sect a hundred years ago..." "Unfortunately, they failed."
"This defeat was not a battle. This is the general trend of the world.”
Lin Chen's eyes widened and he understood.
No wonder the founders of the Tiandan Sect and the Spiritual Beast Sect died and disappeared. It turns out that there was this battle a hundred years ago...
Unfortunately, it failed.
“But why are the three Nascent Soul monks not the opponent of the Demon Sect?”
“A hundred years ago...the Demon Sect was not that strong, right?”
Lin Chen was surprised.
At this time, Master Changchun looked at Lin Chen and said slowly:
"Lin Chen, promise me."
"After listening to what I say next, as soon as possible Leave Yan Lai Realm... This is no place for you to stay."
"I have dismissed most of the three thousand disciples of the Changchun Sect, leaving only a few hundred disciples who want to live and die with the sect...waiting for that. The final battle.”
After a pause, Master Changchun continued:
"You can't get involved in this battle."
"You are still young, and you still have unlimited possibilities... Isn't it true that you will become a god in the future? Question."
After hearing this, Lin Chen was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, disciple Lin Chen, follow the instructions of the ancestor."
After hearing this, Master Changchun breathed a sigh of relief.
Cai Youyou asked:
"Lin Chen, do you know what is the general trend of the world in Qingzhou?"
Lin Chen thought for a while and said:
"The Demon Sect has been in power for more than a hundred years? Is this the general trend of the world?"
After hearing this, a flash of disdain flashed in Changchun's eyes.
Criticized:
“The bullshit demon sect is now the general trend of the world!”
“This is just a rumor spread by the people in the sky!”
"The real general trend... is that the spiritual world is falling, and the man in heaven who is so high above... is about to fall!"
"Haha~hahaha~"
Changchun Master burst out laughing a few times, followed by a violent cough.
“Cough, cough cough~”
“Those guys who are aloof, indifferent, and claim to be superiors will have a day to worry about!”
"Happy, so happy!"
Falling from the spiritual world? Are the monks in heaven not protected?
Lin Chen felt a storm in his heart.
If this was said by an ordinary monk, Lin Chen would just think that he was crazy.
But the person speaking in front of me was Changchun, the great monk of Nascent Soul who had lived for more than a thousand years!
With such an identity, Lin Chen has no reason not to believe it.
Moreover, it can be expected that with Changchun's background and experience, he should know a lot.
So, Lin Chen couldn't wait to ask:
"Ancestor, why did the spiritual world fall?"
"This...is competing with the Qingzhou Demon Sect, what's the matter? Relationship?”
Looking at the curiosity in Lin Chen’s eyes, Changchun sighed.
"Oh, forget it... Now that I've said it all, let me tell you everything!"
"The world is divided into five major states, and above the five major states, there is the spiritual world... You should know this, right? "
Lin Chen nodded, Changchun Master continued:
"The spiritual world is rootless duckweed and cannot be supplied alone... We can only rely on the spiritual energy and luck of the five major states to provide support for the spiritual world."
"In this way, the spiritual world can be guaranteed. Above the world, the carefree happiness of thousands of heavenly beings..."
"However, the luck and spiritual energy of the five states are limited after all... After countless years, too much has been consumed."
"There are more and more monks in the sky... Gradually, the spiritual energy and luck of the five states have been exhausted. It is not enough to support the cultivation of people in heaven."
"Then there is only one result... Above the spiritual world, all those in the sky cannot guarantee their own cultivation. They can no longer be high and transcendent..."
"At that time, what will be the difference between the spiritual world and falling?"
< br>After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned and thought deeply. He thought of what Jiang Liqian said to him back then.
It also seems to be saying that the spiritual world does not produce anything, but is just like a parasite, constantly absorbing luck and spiritual energy from the five major states...
But what Jiang Liqian did not say is that the spiritual world is about to fall, and the people in the sky are about to fall. No guarantee.
Lin Chen suddenly thought of something and stared at the Changchun Patriarch.
The Changchun master’s next answer also confirmed Lin Chen’s guess.
“Return to Tao and Heaven!”
"Return to Tao and Heaven!"
Changchun Master repeated it twice, with sadness in his eyes.
“Hundreds of years ago, the people in heaven panicked. They rummaged through ancient books... and finally found this so-called solution!”
“The monks cultivated their whole life and conquered the creation of heaven and earth. For self-cultivation. This is what is called fighting against the world.”
“This is not only true for monks, but also for mortals.”
"Therefore, the solution is... to return all the things the monks seek to heaven and earth!"
"Simply put, Qingzhou needs a war!"
Sadness in Changchun's eyes What's more, he said slowly:
"We need a game A shocking battle! This battle will affect the entire Qingzhou, and even...the five major states!"
"When enough monks die in the five major states, and countless mortals die...the monks can be captured. Spiritual energy and luck are returned to this world! ”
"At that time, spiritual energy will be abundant again..."
"The status of the spiritual world will be stabilized again..."
