Chapter 513 Ancient Secrets


After spending several days and nights of unremitting efforts, Li Mu not only absorbed a lot of obscure but crucial astronomical knowledge from Qingyangzi's vast wisdom, but also refined his unique skills in calculating star positions and understanding the movement of stars.

At this moment, Li Mu's heart is full of desire and expectation for the unknown star field. He only needs to pour what he has learned into the astrolabe, and with a little energy and time, he can uncover a corner of the mysterious veil of the Dark Spirit Star. , and then find an opportunity to leave this dark and boundless place.

Seeing that Li Mu had learned how to calculate the location of the Dark Spirit Star, Qingyangzi said goodbye to him and continued to sleep in the Soul World Pearl.

"Senior, please leave soon. I still have something unclear. Please enlighten me!" Li Mu quickly sent a message to persuade him to stay.

Hearing this, although Qingyangzi feels tired, he is currently in a state of remnant soul. If he didn't ask for help from Li Mu, he really wouldn't want to spend more of his limited soul power.

"Oh? Little friend, if you still have any doubts, tell me quickly. If I can answer it, I will give you some advice." Qingyang Ziqiang cheered up and asked Li Mu urgently.

Li Mu seized this rare opportunity and revealed the most worrying thing in his heart. He sent a message to ask Qingyangzi: "Senior, the spiritual energy of our world is getting thinner and thinner. It is predicted that in a thousand years, it will enter the end of the Dharma." In this era, everything has been reduced to nothing. I dare to ask, was there a similar disaster of spiritual energy depletion in ancient times? "

The remaining soul of Qingyangzi stayed in the Soul World Pearl for ten thousand years. He is also a powerful being. He should know something about the depletion of spiritual energy. Li Mu took this rare opportunity to inquire about the information he learned from Sword Master Feng.

Qingyangzi seemed to be startled when he heard Li Mu's question, and did not react for a while.

"Senior?"

After receiving no response from Qingyangzi for a long time, Li Mu conveyed his message in confusion.

"The spiritual energy is exhausted! Has it started already?

Qingyangzi came back to his senses. He seemed to be touched by long-standing memories and couldn't help but murmur.

Qingyang Zi seemed to be sorting out his vague and distant memory fragments. After a moment of silence, he responded to Li Mu through telepathy: "My friend, the spiritual energy depletion and the end of the Dharma era you mentioned really touched some of my memories. "

After hearing this, Li Mu became even more anxious and asked in passing: "Senior, could it be that such a catastrophe really happened in ancient times? ”

Qingyangzi's message was deep and far-reaching, and he spoke slowly: "In ancient times, the heaven and earth were indeed full of spiritual energy, and all things were prosperous. Those were the most glorious years in the world of cultivation. However, just as everything in the world has its ups and downs, between realms It is impossible to escape this law. As time goes by, some realms gradually lose their balance due to natural and man-made disasters, excessive plunder of resources, or subtle changes in the laws of heaven, and the source of spiritual energy begins to dry up. This process is long and secret. It was not until the accumulation reached an irreversible state that the horrific scene of the Dharma Ending Age emerged."

After a pause, Qingyangzi's message sounded again, with a bit of emotion about the past years: "In my life. In that era, although the aura was not as strong as in ancient times, it was still able to maintain the normal operation of the world of cultivation. However, according to ancient books, in the more distant past, this world did experience two times. The thrilling spiritual energy depletion incident."

Li Mu was refreshed and couldn't wait to send a message and asked: "Senior, please be sure to explain in detail! The conclusion should have crucial implications for us who are on the brink of crisis, how to deal with this crisis."

Qingyangzi sighed, seeming to recall that distant and heavy history. , Chuan Nian responded: "The reasons for the two rapid depletion of spiritual energy are different!"

"The first depletion of spiritual energy is said to be because a supreme Taoist ancestor became enlightened in this world. The process was earth-shattering. , not only caused drastic changes in the laws of heaven and earth, but also directly extracted a large amount of spiritual energy in the realm to create the supreme Taoist foundation. This Taoist ancestor's path to enlightenment was like a grand plunder, causing the already balanced spiritual energy to circulate instantly. Out of balance, countless creatures suffered heavy losses, causing the world to gradually decline.”

"The second spiritual energy depletion was caused by a change in the Jiuyou land. Jiuyou is the most mysterious place in the world, hiding endless darkness and evil. According to ancient records, a Jiuyou seal Loose, a large amount of evil energy and netherworld power poured into this world, causing fierce conflict and devouring the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. This force not only polluted the pure spiritual energy, but also destroyed the source of spiritual energy, causing the entire world. The spiritual energy of the domain became thinner and thinner, and finally fell into the Age of Ending Dharma."

Qingyangzi conveyed the secret to Li Mu about the two spiritual energy depletion events in ancient times, and finally concluded: "These two spiritual energy depletion events have caused great harm to the world. This world has caused indelible trauma. If another spiritual energy depletion occurs, I don’t know when it will be restored.”

“Senior, how did it take to recover from those two spiritual energy depletions?” Li Mu couldn't help but feel anxious, and quickly sent another message to ask.

Qingyangzi sent a message and responded: "The first time the spiritual energy was exhausted, the creatures in the realm went through a long period of time before they gradually found a way to restore the spiritual energy. There are practitioners with extraordinary wisdom who, through participation, Understanding the laws of heaven and earth, they created formations and restrictions that could guide the return of spiritual energy; there were also compassionate ancient monks who used their own power to plant spiritual grass and cultivate spiritual beasts, nourishing the land bit by bit. There is no exact record of the recovery time in ancient books, but it is speculated that it should take three thousand years. "

"As for the second time of spiritual energy depletion, the recovery process is more difficult and long because of Jiuyou. The pollution of the earth was not only at the aura level, but also penetrated deep into the foundation of the realm. In order to eliminate this evil force, the strong men in the realm spared no effort and sacrificed a large number of true spirit groups, and finally the Nine Formation was completed. The Nether Seal prevents the influx of evil energy into this world. However, the recovery of spiritual energy is a slow and complicated process, which not only requires the accumulation of time, but also requires the entire realm ecology. According to records, this recovery of spiritual energy consumes Fifteen thousand years.”

When Li Mu heard this, his heart felt heavy. Fifteen thousand years was such a long time. For them, who were about to enter the Age of Ending Dharma, it seemed to be an unattainable hope.

Li Mu continued to pass on the memory and asked Qingyangzi: "Senior, in your opinion, what are the similarities between the spiritual energy depletion we are facing now and these two historical records? Before the spiritual energy was exhausted, , is there a fundamental solution?”

“My friend, do you know the root cause of this spiritual energy depletion?” Qingyangzi asked with a hint of solemnity.

Qingyangzi is still counting on Li Mu to find the death-defying spirit grass for him, recast the foundation of the Tao, and be reborn! Unexpectedly, we are facing the advent of the Age of Ending Dharma, and our luck is really bad. If the Age of Ending Dharma is really coming, we might as well continue to live in the form of a remnant soul in the Soul World Pearl.

“According to a sword master of our sect, the depletion of spiritual energy seems to be related to the Jiuyou Territory. Two Taoist Lords of our sect went to the Jiuyou Territory to find out the cause. They are now trapped in it for more than a hundred years. I haven't been able to come out yet." Li Mu quickly conveyed the reason.

"It's Jiuyou again! That should be the second reason." Qingyangzi's message was mixed with shock and worry. He continued to say: "The land of Jiuyou has been the most mysterious place in the world since ancient times. It is an unpredictable and dangerous existence. It is not only the source of evil energy, but also hides a terrifying power that can subvert the balance of the realm. If this spiritual energy depletion is really related to the Nine Netherlands, the spiritual energy this world will face this time. The crisis of depletion is probably more severe than the previous two times." Qingyangzi's message contained a deep emotion, and he said worriedly: "In ancient times, there were strong people in the realm, and the true spirit group was prosperous, and they guarded it together. Taking care of this world, the spiritual energy is endless and the realm is prosperous. However, as time flies, the realm is no longer as glorious as it once was. The number of high-level monks has dropped sharply, and most of the true spirit groups have disappeared. The spiritual energy in the realm is getting thinner and thinner. If this spiritual energy depletion is really related to the Jiuyou Land, then you may not be able to cope with this crisis with your current strength."


< br>"So, I'm afraid this spiritual energy exhaustion is unavoidable. Senior, is there any way to survive this coming age of Dharma Ending!" Li Mu looked solemn and asked for advice.

“I have never experienced the Age of Ending Dharma. I don’t know how many years it will take to recover after the spiritual energy of this world is completely exhausted. Li Xiaoyou, if it is really unavoidable, the alternative is to find a small secret place and prepare enough in advance. Spiritual stones, elixirs, practice the method of restoring consciousness, and hide away for the time being!"

There was a trace of helplessness in Qingyangzi's message, pointing out a final retreat for Li Mu: "This is it! Although the Dharma is not a long-term solution, it may be able to buy you a glimmer of hope in the early days of the Dharma Ending Era until the situation changes. ”

"The method of recuperating one's consciousness is an ancient practice method that allows monks to significantly reduce their dependence on spiritual energy in extreme environments, and even enter a state of near dormancy, maintaining life with minimal consumption. Wait for the opportunity for the spiritual energy to revive."

Qingyangzi continued to pass on the message and explained: "I have learned a technique of this kind, called: 'Hidden Dragon's Breath Technique'. This technique is similar to Feng. The method of returning consciousness has different approaches but similar effects. They can help monks preserve their strength when spiritual energy is lacking and wait for a turn. If you need it, I can teach you this method now."

" Cultivation is quite difficult and requires a very high level of mental cultivation. If you are not careful, you may fall into a permanent sleep. In addition, choosing a suitable secret realm is also very important. It needs to be a place with strong spiritual energy and a relatively safe place. Ensure a worry-free survival."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I'll come back to you if I need it! The time has not come yet!" Li Mu smiled helplessly and declined politely.

"That's right! If Xiaoyou has nothing else to do, I'm going to rest." Qingyangzi said goodbye to Li Mu.

"Sorry for bothering you, senior!" Li Mu responded gratefully.

Qingyangzi did not respond to Li Mu anymore. The fluctuations in his soul gradually disappeared and he fell into a deep sleep in the soul world bead.

With mixed feelings in his heart, Li Mu looked at the Soul World Bead in his hand, took a deep breath, and put it into the storage compartment for safe storage.

The huge Nine Nether Kun Whale is like a dark floating island, gently swinging its huge whale tail that can shake the stars, and its whole body is filled with a heart-stopping ghostly atmosphere, silently The earth is suspended in the vast star field with bright stars. Every breath seems to resonate with the power of the netherworld in the star field, causing the surrounding stars to eclipse it.

Wearing a blue robe, Li Mu stood tall and straight on the smooth mirror-like forehead of Jiuyou Kunjing. With a slight wave of his sleeves, a simple and mysterious square room appeared out of thin air. He came out and set up a temporary place on top of the head of the Jiuyou Kunwhale. The soft light of the night pearl in the square room was in sharp contrast with the darkness outside, providing it with a peaceful space.

Then, Li Mu took out an exquisite astrolabe from his sleeve. It was engraved with intricate star patterns and ancient runes, and exuded a faint fluorescent light. He closed his eyes and concentrated, completely immersed in the astrolabe, and gently touched it with his fingers. Gently sliding across the surface of the astrolabe, he began to calculate the specific position of the Dark Spirit Star according to the complex algorithm taught by Qingyangzi.

Following Li Mu’s movements, the star patterns on the astrolabe seemed to come alive, slowly rotating and intertwining according to some mysterious laws, forming flowing astronomical pictures that reflected the patterns of thousands of stars. Movement trajectory.

......

Time passes quietly as the stars slowly flow.

In this vast star field, it seems that even the flow of time has become slow and profound. Li Mu's mind is completely immersed in the astrolabe, and everything outside is isolated.

Finally, after countless calculations and deductions, the light on the astrolabe suddenly condensed, and all the star patterns instantly converged to point in a certain direction, and that direction may be the location of the Dark Spirit Star.

Li Mu opened his eyes and woke up, his numb face showing a hint of worry. Then he thought of something, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

In the Painting World Treasure Mansion, Li Mu appeared next to a large spiritual field. Looking at the growth status of two sixth-order spiritual plants - Yanyuan Spirit Grass and Mou Xing Spirit Grass, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As if he had been devoting a long time to calculating the location of the Dark Spirit Star, Li Mu almost forgot to take care of these two batches of spiritual plants again. Fortunately, they were in good condition, with green leaves and a faint fluorescence. Obviously In the unique environment of Huajie Baofu, I got excellent nourishment.

Li Mu waved his hand, and the Dacheng Perfection Level of Wind and Rain technique was launched.

Suddenly, a hole was torn open in the sky above the Painting World Treasure Mansion by an invisible force. The purest spiritual energy between heaven and earth was gathered and mixed in the raindrops, and fell in patter. Two sixth-level spiritual plants brought a nourishment. of feast.

The leaves of Yanyuan Spirit Grass and Mou Xing Spirit Grass became brighter under the shower of this spiritual rain. The majestic vitality contained in them seemed to be glimpsed in the fluorescent flashes, and they swayed as if to express their gratitude to Li Mu. , thank the owner for his careful care and care.

Innate Magical Power - Recognizing All Spirits, Li Mu looked at the growth status of the Mou Xing Spirit Grass with a face filled with joy, his eyes filled with urgency. (End of this chapter)
