Spirit-Forsaken People
Brush--
In a flash of light and shadow, Mu Fan's figure vanished.
Just a few breaths after his figure disappeared, another figure appeared at the spot where he had vanished.
Its gaze swept around, and when it reappeared, it was at the spot where the tall, thin figure's corpse had vanished.
After a moment, he looked towards the desolate land in the distance and murmured softly.
"It seems this kid is hiding something. Could it be that he really obtained this Power That Cannot Be Controlled?"
That tall, thin figure was one of his informants.
However, this figure was unaware of his existence, while he knew everything that this figure knew.
It's possible that he sensed it just now, which is why he decided to test the waters.
After all, according to the tall, thin figure's memory, the other party's performance could be described as very composed, but unfortunately, he did not go very far on his first attempt.
And now, not much time has passed, and I've encountered him again in another location.
That's very suspicious.
Whether it's a genuine unwillingness to try again, or whether they've actually come a long way and are now turning back, it's hard to say.
But one thing is certain: the opponent's strength surpasses that of the tall, thin figure.
If he wanted to hide, this tall, thin figure might not have been able to detect his strength.
Therefore, the most straightforward and direct method is to take action and test the waters.
As it turns out, this can indeed help to ascertain some things, even if they are just guesses.
If the other party wasn't hiding something, why is there no trace of their presence here now?
On Hidden Origin Peak.
Lu Changzhi smiled and looked at Mu Fan, who had rushed over as soon as he returned, and asked.
You're back so soon?
Mu Fan smiled and said.
"Disciple has made a significant discovery, and I brought it back to show Master immediately."
"Oh?"
Lu Changzhi spoke up.
What was discovered?
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Fan raised his hand and waved it.
Brush--
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed, and the scene that had been underground was now fully displayed around the two of them.
Lu Changzhi looked around for a moment, then looked at Mu Fan with a meaningful expression.
Mu Fan also looked at Lu Changzhi, and the two stared at each other for a long time without saying a word.
Finally, Mu Fan couldn't help but ask first.
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Changzhi then smiled and said.
"What do you mean by showing these things?"
Mu Fan chuckled and said.
"These things are quite old."
"I couldn't understand them at all, so I brought back images of these things specifically to ask you, sir, what do all these symbols mean?"
As Mu Fan finished speaking, Lu Changzhi silently thought to himself.
"Ah, that's the right question."
As he silently thought to himself, some information also flooded into Lu Changzhi's mind.
In the field of vision, these written symbols simply remain Jingjing on the scene.
Suddenly, as if an invisible mist had dissipated, the meaning of the previously incomprehensible characters became clear and quickly became familiar.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi began to digest the information conveyed in the text within this scene.
The scene is quite detailed and tells a lot of stories, so it's clear that someone was specifically responsible for recording it.
After spending some time, Lu Changzhi figured out the ins and outs of the events recorded on it.
At this moment, Mu Fan's voice also rang out from the side, asking with a hint of uncertainty.
"Master, these symbols can't be so ancient that even you don't recognize them, can they?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi regained his composure and smiled slightly.
"The characters in this inscription are indeed ancient and use some unique encryption methods, but fortunately, they are not difficult to decipher."
Mu Fan blinked and looked at Lu Changzhi, asking a question.
"So you just learned this on the spot?"
Lu Changzhi nodded.
Mu Fan immediately raised his hand and gave a thumbs up.
"Master is truly amazing."
Then, he changed the subject and asked another question.
"So, what information is recorded on this?"
Lu Changzhi raised his hand and pointed, and a point of light flew towards Mu Fan's brow.
Mu Fan moved his body and mind forward, guiding the light into his sea of consciousness, and then closed his eyes to digest it.
After a moment, Mu Fan took a light breath and said.
"The Immortal-Slaying Clan... these guys really dare to make that name."
After a while, Mu Fan murmured softly.
So this so-called Power That Cannot Be Controlled actually has a name, huh? The Tribulation Source... That doesn't sound as extraordinary as the Power That Cannot Be Controlled.
After a while, Mu Fan opened his eyes and said with some emotion.
"From this perspective, the existence of these people can truly be considered a kind of talent."
Lu Changzhi nodded and said.
"Indeed,"
According to the information gathered here, the so-called Immortal-Slaying Clan was originally just a group of mortals.
It was only after discovering this Power That Cannot Be Controlled that they claimed to be from the Immortal-Slaying Clan.
These people all share a common characteristic: they are ordinary people with no talent whatsoever.
The term "mortal" is generally used to describe those who do not cultivate themselves, or those who are of poor aptitude and unable to cultivate themselves.
But these people are even more special than the ordinary people the world talks about.
The key reason why most ordinary people don't cultivate themselves is that they have extremely low aptitude or talent.
So much so that even if they actually tried to cultivate, what those who are capable of cultivation can do in a quarter of an hour, they would probably need ten thousand or even tens of thousands of times more time and effort to reach a similar level.
The gap between input and output is so outrageous that choosing to cultivate immortality is tantamount to wasting time and life.
The vast majority of mortals are in this state. It's not that they can't cultivate at all, but that it's meaningless.
In fact, even if many people are capable of cultivation, they will still be regarded as mortals if their progress is slow.
This so-called Immortal-Slaying Clan, however, has gone to an extreme.
They are truly and utterly incapable of cultivation.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, spiritual practice is not worthwhile.
However, "not worthwhile" doesn't mean that the time and effort invested yield absolutely no results; it simply means that the output is extremely meager.
As for the people of the Immortal-Slaying Clan, no matter how much they invest, they get no return.
Therefore, in that era when spiritual cultivation was extremely fervent, these people were also known as the Spirit-Forsaken People.
In this world today, there are quite a few Spirit-Forsaken People. However, cultivators don't have much contact with mortals; only those cultivators in the early stages of cultivation have more contact with mortals.
However, in the era in which these people lived, the distinctions were clearly not as distinct as they are today.
Those Spirit-Forsaken People are looked down upon not only by cultivators, but even mortals feel an inexplicable sense of superiority when facing them.
