Chen Lin's spirits lifted at Fengxue's words.
Ever since coming to this world, he had been asking about the sun.
After all, this world had once enjoyed a bright era, with a sun in the sky. Its transformation into a dark age meant something had gone wrong with the sun.
But no one could explain it clearly.
Neither the ancient records nor the veteran cultivators who had lived through both eras knew anything beyond the sudden descent of darkness and the simultaneous disappearance of the sun, moon, and stars. No one knew the exact cause.
Of course.
This also had to do with his low standing and lack of access to information from the higher ranks.
"Do you mean the sun of this world still exists, Lord Feng?"
Chen Lin immediately asked.
"It does, but the dark rule suppresses it, so it no longer gives off light."
Fengxue sighed softly.
A rare look of worry appeared on her face.
She said pensively, "Who knows where this dark energy came from? It's terrifying. Once it touches you, you can neither escape it nor shake it off. It clings like maggots burrowing into bone."
"And then there's the Divine Temple."
"It appeared just as abruptly, and it seems to have come specifically to counter the dark energy. Only by practicing the Divine Temple Cultivation Technique can we resist its corrosion."
"But nothing in this world comes free."
"Who knows when those of us practicing the Divine Temple Cultivation Technique will have to pay the price?"
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Since you have such concerns, Lord Feng, why practice the Divine Temple Cultivation Technique? With your standing, surely you have no shortage of superior cultivation techniques?"
"Heh."
Fengxue gave a faint laugh.
"Born into this era, what choice did I have?
