Chapter 214: Without Spirit Energy, the Human Race Lacks Spirit Essence!
Chapter 214: Without Spirit Energy, the Human Race Lacks Spirit Essence!
In a calm tone, Wei Wujiji spoke, his voice carrying an unmistakable killing intent.
Wei Wujiji's eyes narrowed, and his heart tightened in an instant.
"Don't be hasty."
The black-faced big man chuckled lightly and made no move, instead lifting his teacup to take a sip.
After a gentle sip, he turned his gaze to the bustling crowd around them and sighed, "What a prosperous city!"
"It's a pity that once I retrieve the Qinglong Remains, this place will all become ruins."
As he spoke, the entire Xuan'en City began to tremble.
At the same time, a thick and dark Demon Qi emanated from his body.
The might of a Middle Realm Grand Sage was unleashed without restraint at this moment!
The Qinglong Remains were right beneath Xuan'en City!
Under this terrifying pressure, the Human Race commoners fell one after another.
Wei Wujiji's face darkened, and he reached out to grasp a spear.
Regardless of the disparity in strength, as the strongest in Qingzhou, it was up to him to stop the Demon Clan Grand Sage before him! But before he could fully unleash his energy, a gentle breeze suddenly swept past him.
A hand, like a white jade sculpture, appeared and gently rested on the black-faced big man's shoulder.
"Since you find it a pity, then stop."
At the same time, a calm voice sounded.
As the voice spoke, the trembling of Xuan'en City ceased, and the pressure and Demon Qi emanating from the black-faced big man also vanished instantly.
"Qin..."
Wei Wujiji looked up in astonishment, gazing at the young figure in the golden embroidered black robe across from him.
"Master."
Qin Zheng smiled and nodded.
"How can you be here?! Didn't Gao Chengyin tell me that the Great Jin Martial Saints were gathering in the capital and wouldn't be in Qingzhou?!"
At this moment, the black-faced big man, suppressed by Qin Zheng's palm, spoke with a face filled with anger and a hidden trace of fear beneath it.
Merely by placing his hand on the man's shoulder, Qin Zheng had dispersed his energy and even restricted his movements!
What level of strength was this?!
How could a Low Rank Martial Saint accomplish such a feat?
Qin Zheng didn't respond but looked at Wei Wujiji and said, "Master, please return to Linyuan City. Leave it to me; rest assured."
After speaking, he grabbed the black-faced big man and took a step, instantly soaring into the sky.
Wei Wujiji watched as the figure vanished into the horizon, his eyes filled with complex emotions that eventually turned into deep relief.
Three days later.
Qingzhou, Yongle Prefecture, Linyuan City.
In a secluded meditation room.
Qin Zheng sat cross-legged, his mind clear, and various thoughts flowed through his mind.
In three days, he had cleared nearly ten Demon Dens outside Qingzhou, including the Black Water Den.
It seemed that in the coming days, there would temporarily be no Demon Clan Grand Sage invading Qingzhou.
And next, he would ride alone into the Demon Clan's land!
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
The words he had spoken at the Grand Martial Academy were not just for show; he genuinely intended to do as he said!
Cleanse the Demon Dens outside the Twelve Provinces!
Strike fear into the hearts of the Demon Clan!
With this, even alone, he would be enough to suppress the Thirty-Six States Land!
He would wait until the Demon Dens in the Nine Provinces were cleared, and his virtue accumulated sufficiently, then he could return to the capital without hesitation.
He would cleanse the Grand Martial Saints of Great Jin, eliminating the vermin who had lost their humanity, and confront the remaining Martial Saints of the Gao family!
As this thought crossed his mind, Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Six Martial Saints of the Gao family had already been killed by him, leaving three remaining.
Among them was Gao Wuxing, who was filled with abnormalities.
Killing the incense-attached non-human and non-divine Gao Wuxing would deduct 30,000 jin of virtue.
There was also Gao Qiuxian, who had accompanied the Great Jin Ancestor and survived to this day.
The Martial Saint who had reached perfection was currently attempting to achieve the Bodhimanda Realm by practicing the Half-Complete Bodhimanda True Scripture.
The remaining one should be just a Low Rank or Intermediate Martial Saint.
After all, according to what Wei Yunfeng had told him, there were only three High Rank Martial Saints in the entire Great Jin Dynasty.
The Gao family already had two, so the remaining one must belong to the Great Jin Royal Family.
However...
At this point, he began to doubt the data of 'three.'
If the Great Jin Royal Family truly had only one High Rank Martial Saint, how could they suppress the Gao family?
Previously, he had thought that with eight Martial Saints in the Royal Family and six in the Quanyang Gao family, having two more was enough for suppression.
But now, at this level of cultivation, Qin Zheng realized that only High Rank Martial Saints were the key to determining a power's strength!
Therefore, the Great Jin Royal Family must have more than one High Rank Martial Saint.
The 'three' mentioned by Wei Yunfeng might only be the publicly known number, and only the Royal Family and the Gao family would know the actual situation!
Qin Zheng's mind was filled with various speculations.
After a moment, his thoughts sharpened like a sword, cutting through these chaotic thoughts.
Regardless of the actual situation, as long as he was strong enough, all problems would be easily resolved.
With a thought, an ancient book fell into his hand.
'Ascetic Scholar's World Denial Book!'
Before setting off for the Ask Immortal Sect to cleanse the Demon Dens outside the borders, Qin Zheng planned to thoroughly read this ancient book.
He felt that this ancient book must contain some crucial information!
So, he adjusted his mind, reached out, and gently opened the book.
Boom!!!
At this moment, a surge of overwhelming hatred once again flooded Qin Zheng's heart.
On the pages of the ancient book he was flipping through, tiny characters of 'hate' seemed to swarm like tadpoles, densely packed.
A vast aura of rage and intense hatred emanated from them.
Hate!
Hate!
Hate!
This overwhelming hatred, like a tidal wave, relentlessly washed over Qin Zheng's mind and consciousness.
Gradually, Qin Zheng felt his vision darkening, turning a dim red.
The world around him seemed filled with desolation, emptiness, and resentment.
In his ears, he heard a series of shrill and anguished cries.
"The Dao is merciless! Why? Why did you abandon us?!"
"We cultivators seek the Dao, strive for longevity, what wrong have we done?!"
"Better to be shattered than to remain whole!"
"No! Don't!"
". . ."
Amid these anguished voices, Qin Zheng felt a wave of despair.
His heart stirred with anxiety, pulling at the Primordial Spirit within the Spirit Mansion, causing it to flicker uncertainly. His entire aura became unstable.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The surge of energy overflowed, immediately triggering thundering explosions outside.
In the Commander's Manor.
Sensing the situation, Wei Wujiji immediately rushed out, along with the others.
Their gazes turned towards the courtyard where Qin Zheng was.
"Master, has something happened to Qin Zheng?" Su Zimuo asked first.
For a cultivator, losing control of their aura and causing an energy overflow was a serious matter. Moreover, they had heard rumors from the capital about Qin Zheng's battle with the Gao family's two Intermediate Martial Saints.
After the battle, he had immediately returned to Xuan Province, swiftly clearing out several Demon Dens, including the Black Water Den.
Such high-intensity consecutive battles likely left him with significant injuries.
Concern filled their eyes as they thought of this.
Wei Wujiji's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his gaze filled with worry and confusion.
In the past few days, he hadn't sensed any injuries on Qin Zheng.
Could his perception be faulty?
"Let's wait and see. Qin Zheng wouldn't do something without confidence."
In the end, this was all he could do to reassure everyone.
In the quiet room.
Qin Zheng felt as if he had sunk into an ocean.
Various voices echoed in his ears—shouts, pleas, and resentment—each emotion affecting him.
It was as if they wanted to drag him into this ocean of negative emotions.
Qin Zheng could only guard his mind, striving to remain unaffected.
Vibrant! At that moment, the Jade Ruyi held in the Primordial Spirit's hand within the Spirit Mansion suddenly emitted a radiant light.
In an instant, the myriad emotions and phenomena were washed away.
The voices in his ears vanished, and the agitation in his heart subsided.
A sense of coolness emerged, restoring Qin Zheng's clarity and consciousness.
His eyes now carried a hint of solemnity.
He had been affected after all! The experiences he just went through felt so real that he almost succumbed to them.
If not for the Jade Ruyi's intervention, he might have been engulfed by that ocean of negative emotions.
For a moment, Qin Zheng's wariness of the ancient book in his hand deepened.
He looked down at the book.
Having withstood the emotional onslaught, the book finally revealed its true form.
Qin Zheng's gaze fell upon the pages, where rows of small characters now appeared.
But they weren't the previous 'hate' characters.
Instead, they were lines of self-spoken words.
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"The Spirit Energy in the world is growing increasingly scarce. If this continues, the path to immortality will only become more arduous. Alas."
"Among the disciples recruited this year, those who meet the conditions are fewer and fewer. The best among them is only a Middle Rank Water Spirit Root. Alas."
"The creatures in the Spirit Beast Garden are becoming more irritable. The other day, a young calf born to the Ten Thousand Trees Green Ox showed signs of great wisdom. Truly a wonder!"
"As the Spirit Energy in the world diminishes, the Spirit Essence in the souls of this batch of new disciples is also decreasing. Alas, it's all because of the scarcity of Spirit Energy. The creatures in the Spirit Beast Garden are becoming more irritable. The other day, a young calf born to the Ten Thousand Trees Green Ox showed signs of great wisdom. Truly a wonder!"
"That calf has a Spirit Root? How can a Demon Clan creature have a Spirit Root?!"
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong! As the bandage and some medicine!"
"The Spirit Energy in the world is growing increasingly scarce. If this continues, the path to immortality will only become more arduous. Alas. The creatures in the Spirit Beast Garden are becoming more irritable. The other day, a young calf born to the Ten Thousand Trees Green Ox showed signs of great wisdom. Truly a wonder!"
"There's a major disturbance in Taixu Mountain. That old demon has broken through!"
Qin Zheng paused at this point, the writing abruptly ending.
His eyes flashed with contemplation.
The diminishing Spirit Energy in the world likely referred to the thinning Spirit Energy.
Indeed, the current world was filled with scarce Spirit Energy.
This World Denial Book probably recorded the entire process of the Ascetic Scholar experiencing the collapse of the immortal civilization.
With this realization, Qin Zheng turned the page.
And he saw several large characters.
"Without Spirit Energy, the Human Race lacks Spirit Essence!"
