Li Xiuchang Looking at the Desolate Heaven Realm's Immortal Dust Sect from afar, it is still majestic, but it still feels a little less interesting than the Immortal Dust Sect in the lower realm.
The Immortal Dust Sect in the lower realm is full of outstanding people and has a fairy spirit. The Immortal Dust Sect of the Upper Realm is like a fairy mansion built on the wasteland. No matter how spectacular and magnificent it is, it still has a desolate background.
To put it bluntly, I was dragged down by the environment.
Although at a glance, the Immortal Dust Sect area is already very different from the outside world and has a lot more vitality, there is still a gap between it and the lower realm.
Yan Kang took Li Xiuchang and landed in front of the mountain gate. Sect Protecting Great Array opened a Daoist Sect door. The two people responsible for guarding the entrance obviously knew Yan Kang. They nodded to him and then looked at Li Xiuchang:
"Senior Brother Yan, who is this you are bringing?"
Yan Kang didn't explain much to the two of them, but just said, "He is an ascended person who has just come up from the lower world. I want to take him to see Grand Elder."
The two said, "Senior brother, you should know the rules. If you are not a monk of this sect, if you do not receive an invitation, you need to ask your superiors for permission before you can be released."
Yan Kang said in a deep voice, "This person is me Immortal Dust Sect Identity Token. He should be a monk from the lower realm of my sect. I took him to see Grand Elder just to verify his identity."
The two gatekeepers took out the sound transmission device Dharma Treasure and asked for permission from the superiors before finally letting it go.
Li Xiuchang can see that Upper Realm Immortal Dust Sect is heavily guarded, and Conflict between Righteous and Evil is afraid that the situation will be tense.
After entering Immortal Dust Sect, Li Xiuchang looked around and found that there were many similarities with the Immortal Dust Sect in the lower realm.
Upper Realm Immortal Dust Sect Although there are no inner and outer gates, it is divided into two areas: immortal and mortal. The circle near the periphery is populated by disciples who have not become immortals, while the strong ones who have become immortals live in the central area.
Upper Realm Immortal Dust Sect also has many disciples who have not become immortals.
Desolate Heaven Realm There were originally indigenous mortals. After the powerful men from the lower realm ascended, some of them also gave birth to children.
It's just that because of the Desolate Heaven Realm's harsh environment, the population has been growing slowly.
Li Xiuchang noticed that Spirit Plant was also planted in a large area on the edge of the Immortal Dust Sect, which was the same Spirit Plant he often saw on the road.
He curiously asked, "Senior Yan, what kind of Spirit Plant are being planted around here? Why do I see Desolate Heaven Realm growing like this Spirit Plant everywhere?"
Yan Kang was quite patient with Li Xiuchang, and replied, "This is Spirit Plant, a special feature of the Desolate Heaven Realm, named Spirit Potato. It has the effect of absorbing and purifying spiritual energy. It will collect all the spiritual energy deep in the ground and store it in the rhizomes.
"The rhizome of this Spirit Potato is similar to the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the world. They are both edible. The monks can also directly extract the aura from the rhizomes to practice or replenish their mana."
Li Xiuchang was stunned and said, "Isn't this the spiritual stone that grows in the soil?"
Yan Kang smiled and said, "You can also say that, but after Cultivation Level's realm has reached a high level, the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is mixed and impure for us, and it is not as pure as the spiritual energy in Spirit Potato. If we want to absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone, it needs to be purified.
"Of course, the main reason is that Desolate Heaven Realm's spiritual energy is thin and spiritual stone veins are also very rare, so you see that most Rogue Cultivator, whether it is a sect force or not, are planting Spirit Potato in a large area."
Li Xiuchang was amazed, but as a Spirit Plant grand master, he was still keenly aware that something was wrong and said:
"Spirit Potato If it keeps absorbing underground spiritual energy, the soil below will become barren sooner or later. Wouldn't it take a while to plant it in a different place?"
Yan Kang said, "Spirit Potato not only absorbs spiritual energy from the soil, but its leaves can also absorb the spiritual energy flowing in the air. Of course, the most important thing is that we will fertilize the soil from time to time."
At this point, Yan Kang's tone became meaningful.
Li Xiuchang narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely guessing, and asked, "What should I use to fertilize?"
"Of course it's using the magic power in the dead enemy's body." Yan Kang replied.
Li Xiuchang suddenly thought of the old woman named Sun Straightforward Sword Cultivator who killed the old demon cultivator with one sword and collected all the remaining magic power of the other party.
Other people's mana cannot be absorbed directly, but Spirit Potato has the effect of extracting and purifying spiritual energy, and can convert other people's mana into absorbable high-concentration pure spiritual energy.
"Does the magic cultivator also plant Spirit Potato on a large scale?" Li Xiuchang asked again.
Yan Kang glanced at him and seemed to understand what he was thinking. He nodded and said, "Yes, Conflict between Righteous and Evil is no longer purely a battle of positions, but also a battle of resources and interests."
Li Xiuchang frowned. Upper Realm's situation was much more serious than he thought. He was short of spiritual energy, but these immortal-level experts were all big consumers of spiritual energy.
This makes Desolate Heaven Realm's powerful players have to be careful about how they use their magic power.
If you can use a little less mana, never use more. If a problem can be solved with one move, never use two.
For example, Sun's last name was Straightforward Sword Cultivator. He directly killed the enemy with one sword and never delayed it to avoid wasting more mana.
But just saving money without a stable source of spiritual energy is definitely not enough.
With few resources, there will inevitably be competition. Good and evil are naturally opposed to each other, so they naturally become natural enemies.
Both sides regard the other party's people as a mobile aura storehouse, hunting each other and constantly reducing their numbers.
If there are too many monks and too little porridge, the hungry monks will eliminate each other until all the remaining monks can eat porridge.
Desolate Heaven Realm Although the spiritual energy is thin, it is enough as long as there are few people.
There are too many people now and not enough spiritual energy.
Yan Kang said, "We all believe that as long as we can catch all the evil cultivators, Desolate Heaven Realm's spiritual energy will be abundant. Of course, the evil cultivators also think so."
The battle for positions, coupled with the battle for resources, Li Xiuchang can imagine that both sides will definitely be beaten out of their wits.
"We've arrived. If you are really my Immortal Dust Sect disciple, don't worry, the elders will definitely not accuse you unjustly."
Arriving in front of a main hall, Yan Kang even comforted Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang nodded, but he was not nervous. His identity was real and could naturally withstand investigation. Moreover, Immortal Dust Sect was just Grand Elder. It was not like he had never been in contact with the lower realm.
Several of his neighbor brothers and sisters are enough to serve as Grand Elder even if they are placed at the Upper Realm Immortal Dust Sect.
Upper Realm Immortal Dust Sect's Grand Elder is indeed much more valuable than the lower realm.
Any immortal in the lower realm can serve as Grand Elder, but in the Upper Realm, there must be at least a golden immortal Cultivation Level.
Even if you are an ordinary elder, you must have True Immortal Cultivation Level.
In other words, Li Xiuchang and Cultivation Level can no longer serve as elders in the Upper Realm.
Entering the main hall, there were three Grand Elder sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed.
Of course, this is not the full power of the Upper Realm Immortal Dust Sect. It is just to save spiritual energy. Desolate Heaven Realm Most of the powerful people of the Golden Immortal Cultivation Level are in a state of retreat and sleep on weekdays.
Even if they don't take action, just maintaining the operation of their skills will consume a huge amount of spiritual energy.
The three Grand Elder slowly opened their eyes after the two Li Xiuchang came in.
The three of them obviously knew the purpose of Yan Kang in advance. They first took Li Xiuchang and Identity Token without seeing any problems.
At this point, the identity of Li Xiuchang has been basically determined.
As long as Identity Token has not been manipulated and the aura of Divine Sense can match it, then it will not be fake.
And having said that, even if it was true that he was lying, it wouldn't be so outrageous. After practicing for thirteen years and becoming an immortal, no one would believe him.
Just because it's so outrageous, it doesn't look like it's fake.
However, the three Grand Elder still asked Li Xiuchang some more questions, including some relatively secret information inside the lower realm Immortal Dust Sect, and Li Xiuchang answered them fluently.
If he encounters a problem that he doesn't know about, he will admit it directly.
After some questioning, and the fact that Li Xiuchang was also willing to swear an oath of heaven to prove it, the three present Grand Elder and Yan Kang no longer had any doubts about Li Xiuchang's identity.
After confirming that Li Xiuchang was one of their own, the expressions on the faces of the three Grand Elders who were originally stern and unsmiling suddenly became friendly.
A Round-faced Grand Elder asked, "Who is the current leader of the lower realm?"
Li Xiuchang replied, "It's senior brother Liang Daocheng."
"Liang Daocheng? Is this kid still alive? We all thought he was killed by a demon cultivator, but we didn't expect that he went to the lower world. We're lucky."
The round-faced elder was slightly surprised at first, but then his face fell down and he cursed, "This bastard boy, why did you let you ascend without preparation?"
The other two Grand Elder also echoed, "With your talent and potential, it is only right to arrange for two people to ascend with you and protect you. But in the end, he didn't even prepare any means of self-defense for you!"
"That's right, you almost fell into the hands of the demon cultivator! Fortunately, God blessed me Immortal Dust Sect, so you finally returned to the sect safely after many twists and turns."
"Yan Kang, you did a good job, I will mark your contribution this time!"
The three Grand Elders, across a world apart, scolded Liang Daocheng bloody.
With the talent and potential shown by Li Xiuchang, he immediately became a treasure in their eyes. It is not an exaggeration to say that Immortal Dust Sect has further hope in the future!
How could such an important strategic talent be allowed to rise up casually? Forget it if you don't send people to protect you, don't even take some defensive measures?
Especially when they learned that Li Xiuchang was almost kidnapped by a demon cultivator, the three Grand Elder were even more frightened.
Immortal Dust Sect How many years of luck does it take to have such a talented person?
If this was lost in the hands of a demon cultivator, it would be equivalent to destroying the sect's destiny for countless years to come.
Fortunately, fortunately, they did not ascend to the Demonic Cultivation Base Camp... The three Grand Elder secretly rejoiced.
"Actually, my disciple's ascension happened suddenly and I had no time to prepare, so I can't blame Sect Leader Liang." Li Xiuchang defended Liang Daocheng.
"You don't have to speak for him. If anything happens to you, he, the sect leader, will be the one to blame!"
"That's right, there are also Jiao Hong, Lao Pu and those old guys. They have lived for so many years and can still be so careless in their work. They should personally escort you to your ascension!"
Li Xiuchang coughed slightly and said, "The three seniors don't know something. The lower world is not peaceful now. Seniors Jiao Hong are also very busy now and have no time for him to care."
"Oh? What happened in the lower world?"
The three Grand Elder all became serious.
Since the decline of magic, Immortal Shade Realm has been in peace and prosperity. Four Great Immortal Sects has controlled the overall situation. The three of them really can't think of anything that can pose a threat to the Immortal Dust Sect.
Unless it comes from Immortal Shadow or another world...
Li Xiuchang deliberately brought the topic to this point, and finally got to the point. He told the story about the shadow invasion from the lower realm all over again.
When he was in the lower realm, he had told all the forces many times about these things, and Li Xiuchang was very familiar with them again, with clear logic, well-organized and detailed explanations.
The eyes of the three Grand Elder and Yan Kang widened... To them, these things were as incredible as the fact that Li Xiuchang became an immortal in thirteen years, but they couldn't find any flaws.
They all fall into the category of things that seem real because they sound too fake.
After Li Xiuchang finished speaking, the four of them were speechless for a moment, and the hall was completely silent.
Li Xiuchang added, "By the way, the Elder Pu mentioned by the three seniors just now has been replaced by a shadow, and Elder Pu Cultivation Level Gao Shen failed to leave his shadow at the time, and now he has fled to no one knows where."
"Old Pu..." Round-faced Grand Elder opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Several people's hearts were filled with complicated emotions for a while, and their reason told them that Li Xiuchang was not that bad, and there was no reason to talk nonsense.
But the truth is really hard to accept.
I don't know how long it took, but after several people finally digested the news, a feeling of powerlessness followed.
They knew that the lower realm was facing an unprecedented disaster and challenge, but they were trapped in the Upper Realm and unable to contribute.
"We old guys are trapped in the Upper Realm and can only sleep all day long. It is better to go out more often. If we encounter a temporary passage and return to the lower realm, we can give up our lives and contribute to the sect."
Li Xiuchang said at the right time, "Seniors, don't worry. I believe that not long after, you will be able to return to the lower realm with me."
"What do you mean?" Everyone's eyes lit up.
Li Xiuchang told Chen Changsheng that he was building the cross-border Teleportation Array.
"My Senior Brother Chen should fly up soon and build the Teleportation Array leading to the lower world."
The tallest of the three Grand Elder was called True Person Songhe. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "The fellow Daoist Chen you mentioned who is good at formations has a nickname called Turtle Immortal?"
Li Xiuchang said in surprise, "Senior, do you know Senior Brother Chen?"
True Person Songhe nodded and said, "It's hard to say that we know each other, but I'm lucky enough to have seen his formations. Speaking of which, I am tens of thousands of years older than him. I have also been studying formations since the beginning of my practice, but his formation attainments are far better than mine. I am really ashamed!"
Chen Changsheng has been a low-key person throughout his life. Even when he reached Upper Realm, he did not achieve any big fame.
But in the small circle of Formation Master, his legend is spreading.
Originally, when it comes to building Teleportation Array and True Person Songhe that lead to the lower world, I don't believe that anyone can do it, but if it is that Turtle Immortal, that is another matter.
"If it's him, it's possible..."
Hearing what True Person Songhe said, several other people became excited. "Can we also go down to the next world?"
True Person Songhe threw cold water and said, "Even if Teleportation Array successfully builds it, are we just going to leave? We are all gone, who will deal with those evil people?"
"Then go back to the lower world, leave this Desolate Heaven Realm to their evil ways and demon cultivators, and let them do whatever they want!" Round-faced Grand Elder said.
