A Strange Tale, Who Else Could It Be?
It's important to know that the Ancestral Vein is one of the most fundamental components of the Tianyuan Dao Realm, and its status is very high.
Li Yunjing knew that the Northern Dark Earth Vein was originally the Ancestral Vein of Tianyuan.
However, the Northern Dark Earth Vein has fallen from its Ancestral Vein status to become an ordinary earth vein, albeit one of the strongest among ordinary earth veins.
Falling from the Ancestral Vein status to an ordinary vein means that the Northern Dark Earth Vein no longer qualifies as an Ancestral Vein.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for an ordinary ley line to become Ancestral Vein again.
Moreover, Tianyuan already has nine Ancestral Vein Ancestral Vein, and there will not be one more.
Nine is the ultimate number; in any Dao Realm, the number of Ancestral Vein will always be nine.
If there are more than nine Ancestral Vein, then that Dao Realm can become Immortal Realm.
Therefore, Li Yunjing felt that it was completely impossible for the Northern Dark Earth Vein to become the tenth Ancestral Vein of Tianyuan.
Even with a strong foundation, one must still destroy one of the existing nine Ancestral Vein and seize its position.
However, the difference between ordinary veins and Ancestral Vein cannot be easily erased.
Those who attempt to challenge the Ancestral Vein Northern Dark Earth Vein will meet a terrible end.
But Northern Dark True Spirit smiled and said, "Of course I'm not joking. I've been thinking about this ever since I woke up."
However, I had no clue what to do until you mentioned connecting all the nodes to build a network, which suddenly gave me a clue.
As one of the Ancestral Vein, I know many strange and unusual stories.
One of these rituals involves the transformation of an ordinary vein into Ancestral Vein.
Your words suddenly made me think of this. I feel that if the promotion ceremony were to proceed as planned, I might not just be Ancestral Vein.
Li Yunjing asked curiously, "What promotion ceremony?"
Northern Dark True Spirit paused for a moment, then said, "Construct a giant nest and use it to accumulate the earth's ley line energy."
Once the earth's ley line energy accumulates to a certain level, one can defy fate and change one's destiny.
I once heard a story that, in the distant past, an being of an unknown race used the Ancestral Vein of an entire Dao Realm to construct a colossal nest.
After the giant nest accumulated enough earth vein energy, that being used it to directly ascend to the Immortal Tribulation, and after ascending to the Immortal Realm, it quickly became a top power in the Immortal Realm, with few rivals.
"Is that so?" Li Yunjing's eyes widened slightly.
Ascending to the Immortal Realm is already extremely difficult, but quickly becoming a top-tier powerhouse after the Immortal Realm is even more challenging.
Those who can ascend to the Immortal Realm are those whose talent, strength, and luck are all at the very top.
Furthermore, the Immortal Realm is not entirely populated by ascended beings; Immortal Realm has native inhabitants.
Because the environment in the Immortal Realm is better than that in the Mortal Realm, the probability of producing geniuses is greater in the Immortal Realm.
Moreover, they are the kind of top geniuses.
A person whose talent is quite ordinary in the Immortal Realm realm may have top-tier talent in the mortal realm.
Such exceptional talent, even in the Immortal Realm, is unimaginable in the mortal world.
Conversely, the top geniuses of the mortal realm might only have average talent if they went to the Immortal Realm.
Therefore, it is virtually impossible for someone who ascends from the mortal realm to the Immortal Realm to quickly grow into a top-tier powerhouse.
According to the information Li Yunjing obtained from the Immortal Alliance, those who ascended from the mortal realm to the Immortal Realm realm generally spent a very long time gradually establishing themselves.
Moreover, this was with the help of those cultivators who ascended earlier.
Without the help of these cultivators, it would be virtually impossible for someone who ascends from the mortal realm to succeed in the Immortal Realm.
The reason Li Yunjing heard was that the natives of the Immortal Realm were very hostile to the ascended beings of the mortal realm, believing that the ascended beings had taken away their living space and resources.
Li Yunjing's first reaction to Northern Dark True Spirit's words was that it was impossible.
"I don't entirely believe it either, but there are many signs that it is true."
"For example, the traces of that giant nest's existence, the firsthand accounts of some old monsters who have lived longer than me," said the Northern Dark True Spirit.
Even the promotion ceremony was recorded in detail and passed down through generations.
You should know that the promotion ceremony was incredibly complex; it certainly didn't seem fabricated.
Hearing what Northern Dark True Spirit said, Li Yunjing also fell into deep thought.
With the eyesight of the Northern Dark True Spirit, if the advancement ceremony were fabricated, he would definitely be able to detect it.
After all, it is a true spirit of the earth's veins, so it's normal for it to have a keen intuition about certain things.
Even he said the promotion ceremony wasn't staged, so there are only two possibilities.
Firstly, the promotion ceremony was indeed real; secondly, the person who fabricated the ceremony was extremely capable, able to create a flawless lie.
"Alright, you can do whatever you want," Li Yunjing said.
Just then, Fang Tong suddenly walked over.
The Northern Dark True Spirit returned to the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal.
Li Yunjing put away the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal, then looked at Fang Tong.
"Sect Leader, someone... wishes to see you," Fang Tong said.
His expression was strange, as if he had encountered something bizarre.
"Who wants to see me?" Li Yunjing asked curiously.
Who else could be here besides the few members of their Luozhen Sect?
"Sect Leader, you'll understand once you come with me," Fang Tong.
Li Yunjing had no choice but to leave with Fang Tong.
After walking a distance to the west, Li Yunjing soon learned who Fang Tong was talking about.
To be precise, it wasn't just one person.
These people are just different from normal people.
These people are not tall; at most, they are only three feet tall.
Apart from their height, these people were no different from Li Yunjing and his group.
The moment Li Yunjing saw these people, a piece of information flashed through his mind.
"Biyuan People!"
The Biyuan People are also human, just originating from a different place.
The cultivators of the Luozhen Sect, such as Li Yunjing and Fang Tong, were all from Great Qiu People.
This is because the ancestors of Li Yunjing and others can be traced back to a place called Great Qiu.
The location of Great Qiu today is nowhere to be found; only its name has been passed down.
However, besides the Great Qiu, there are several other places where the human race originated.
Biyuan is one of them.
There are many records of the Biyuan People within the Five Provinces.
The biggest difference between them and other human races originating from other places is their height.
The height of the Biyuan People far less than that of human races originating from other places.
Three feet is the most common, and also the most extreme, height for Biyuan People.
Of the Five Provinces, the human race originating from Great Qiu has the largest population.
It could even be said that the Tianyuan Five Provinces are basically Great Qiu People.
The number of people who originated elsewhere was small, and they were mostly concentrated in one corner of the country.
The human race, which originated from Biyuan, has almost disappeared from the Tianyuan Five Provinces.
It has been a long time since any news of the Biyuan People has appeared in the Tianyuan Five Provinces.
The most recent news is from three thousand years ago, when a Biyuan People successfully Tribulation Transcendence and ascended to the Immortal Realm.
Since then, the Biyuan People have completely disappeared from the Five Provinces.
Li Yunjing was surprised to see Biyuan People here.
With a glance, Li Yunjing could tell that there were at least a hundred more Biyuan People.
At this moment, Fang Tong walked up to a very Biyuan People and leaned down to say a few words to him.
Immediately afterwards, the Biyuan People, leaning on a cane, walked towards Li Yunjing.
