Chapter 236: Monsters, Evil Spirit Invasion
"Tianji?" The Five Emperors' Inner Seat seemed to have expected this and smiled, "You don't have to worry about this. She is completing a very important task for her."
"That means she is still safe now, right?" Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "According to the rules, can I not ask about her task details?"
"That's right." The Five Emperors' Inner Seat nodded and said, "In theory, except for me, the head of the Jieyou Palace, only senior management can directly check the task status of others.
"However, if you can get the consent of the person who accepts the task, you can understand it, or if there is a problem in the task world and someone needs to cross the border for rescue, you can also learn the details of the task. "
"I don't meet either of these two situations. Well, it's better not to have the second situation." Zhou Heng smiled. After learning that Cheng Jiangjian was fine, he felt much more relaxed.
"Star Lord, don't worry. With Tianji's strength, that task is not particularly difficult. After a while, she should be able to return smoothly." The Five Emperors' Inner Seat smiled.
"If Tianji returns, please send a message to me, senior. "Zhou Heng said.
"It's a small matter, Star Lord, don't worry." The Five Emperors nodded in agreement. This was indeed a small matter for him, just a piece of cake.
"Besides that, I have another question." Zhou Heng said again.
"Star Lord, please tell me." The Five Emperors nodded.
"Are there any monsters in other worlds?" Zhou Heng asked, "It's the animals and plants that have become spirits. Monsters seem to have disappeared in Daqi."
"Not only Daqi, you can't see monsters in the three kingdoms of the Central Plains, but they are not completely extinct." The Five Emperors smiled and said, "In some remote mountains and old forests, some small monsters are occasionally born, but they are difficult to become powerful and are not much stronger than ordinary beasts.
"This is because the human race was unprecedentedly powerful during the Middle Ages of the Saints. Many monsters were hunted and killed by human warriors, or kept as pets and mounts. The human race was powerful, and many great monsters and even monster fairies chose to live overseas.
"Later, the Saints Era ended, the Central Dynasty dominated the world, and there were many noble families. The overall strength of the human race was better than before, so the number of monsters born later became fewer and fewer, and today it has become what you see.
"However, in the heavens and myriad worlds, although most of them are dominated by humans, the human race in most worlds is not strong enough to completely suppress monsters.
"Therefore, in other worlds, as long as there are conditions for the birth of monsters, there will be monsters everywhere, and even in some higher-level worlds, there will be great monsters comparable to heavenly beings."
He seemed to have a lot of emotion about this matter. He couldn't help but say a few more words while talking. After he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have said a little too much.
"Star Lord, just listen. If there are monsters in the world you go to in the future, we will prepare you in advance. "The Five Emperors' Inner Seat smiled as if nothing had happened.
"Well, I understand. Thank you for clearing up my confusion, senior." Zhou Heng nodded and smiled, but his heart was stirred. He caught a key piece of information from what the Five Emperors' Inner Seat had just said.
After the end of the Middle Ages of Saints, the human race is stronger than ever before!
What is this concept?
In such a world where great power belongs to itself, the strength of a race depends on the number of top powers.
That is, the number of first-grade gods.
In the Middle Ages, the Nine Saints were nine first-grade gods.
In addition, there were top sects such as Chunyang Palace, Taixu Temple, Jiaye Temple, and Wuliang Temple, each of which had at least one saint.
How many saints there were in that era.
After the Age of Saints, the nine saints have fallen, and there are nine fewer first-grade gods. How can the human race be stronger than before?
There is such a thing.
But from the current situation in the world, the three kingdoms of Da Zhou, Da Qi, and Da Jin may not have so many first-grade gods.
If what the Five Emperors said just now is true, why did the human race become so powerful after the Middle Ages? What did it experience?
Thinking of this, the answer is about to come out.
Tianyang War!
"It seems that the impact and secrets of the war three thousand years ago are far greater than I guessed before." Zhou Heng said in his heart, "No wonder both the sect and the Zhoutian Patrol Division are so secretive about the war. ”
He wanted to continue asking the Five Emperors about the Tianyang War, but no matter how he tried to inquire, this top master kept his mouth shut.
He only said that when he had more authority in Chunyang Palace or Zhoutian Patrol Division, he would naturally learn more about the Tianyang War, so there was no need to worry at this time.
So Zhou Heng had no choice but to say goodbye and leave the Jieyou Palace. After bidding farewell to the two gods, Taizun and Tianli, he stepped onto the Starlight Bridge again, found a "bridge hole" and walked in.
The next moment, he crossed the millions of miles of territory of Daqi and came to the foot of Taihua Mountain.
The mountain guarding disciples had already recognized him and did not stop him, allowing him to walk up Taihua Mountain.
On the golden top of Yuxu Peak.
Zhou Heng saw Yan Shouyi again and said, "Brother, I have already inquired about Jiang Jian's affairs. She just went to do something very important to her. There is no danger now. "
"It's good that she's fine, it's good that she's fine. "Yan Shouyi nodded slightly and smiled, "This way I can finally give Junior Sister Qi an answer."
"Senior Sister Qi is concerned about Jiang Jian." Zhou Heng smiled, and then said, "Senior Brother, I have one more thing I want to ask when I come back."
"Speak." Yan Shou nodded.
"I encountered ghosts in Yang Fan's cave world..." Zhou Heng briefly recounted his previous encounters in the cave world, "Can the caves of heaven and humans also breed ghosts?"
"Those are not ghosts. You also said that although those things look like ghosts, they are somewhat specious. They are actually the erosion of evil spirits from outside the realm. It is a crisis that every heavenly being has to face."
"Erosion by evil spirits?" Zhou Heng's eyes widened when he heard this. Many thoughts went through his mind, and he asked in astonishment: "Could it be that the cave world of heaven and man is like all the heavens and worlds, and will face the invasion of evil spirits and be invaded by evil spirits? As a springboard for arrival?”
Evil spirits are high-level existence forms of evil things, similar to the transformation of ghosts into ghosts and immortals. Many evil spirits want to come to this world.
And this kind of arrival does not happen overnight. Before actually coming to this world, the evil spirit needs to cross one world after another and keep getting closer.
If the Cave of Heaven and Man is like all the heavens and realms, then there is no doubt that this is the springboard closest to this big world.
"Hey, in fact, the essence of many worlds in the universe is not even as good as the cave between heaven and man." Yan Shouyi gently chinned his head and said with a smile:
"Yes, as you guessed, the evil spirits invaded the cave of heaven and earth just to serve as a springboard to truly descend into our world.
"Actually, many evil spirits have already taken hold outside our world, but they were blocked by barriers and restrictions, preventing them from coming on a large scale.
"For them, if they want to really come here, the easiest way is to erode a 'springboard' that is already in this world, and Tianren Cave is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Such evil spirit erosion exists all the time for heavenly beings, and it cannot be cured. To a certain extent, it is even more annoying than the decline of calamity."
At least after five bad tribulations, you can enjoy a happy and immortal life. However, this evil spirit erosion is like dog-skin plaster and cannot be completely eliminated no matter what.
Unless all the evil spirits entrenched outside the world are killed and no one is left alive.
In this way, evil spirit erosion can be solved from the source.
But who can do it?
"These evil things and evil spirits are too weird." After hearing Yan Shouyi's explanation, Zhou Heng couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.
It turns out that even heavenly beings have to face this terrifying evil spirit erosion all the time.
In other words, even if you really survive five tribulations in the future, you will not truly live forever, and you will still have to face such a huge crisis.
"Junior brother, you don't need to worry too much about this. In recent thousands of years, various sects of heavenly beings have developed many ways to resist the erosion of evil spirits."
Yan Shou smiled, walked to the edge of the Golden Summit Cliff, and looked at the sea of clouds in the distance, "Unless you are an extremely weak person like Yang Fan, but you must fully restrain your strength to avoid being discovered.
"Otherwise, it would be difficult for the normal cave world to be corroded by evil spirits. What you saw should be considered a special situation."
"Is that so?" Zhou Heng was slightly relieved when he heard this. Just now, he really thought that although heavenly beings might be eroded by evil spirits, their caves could be eroded.
That's really big.
Then he asked Yan Shouyi a few questions about the cultivation of Chunyang Dan Sutra, then said goodbye and left.
Passing the Ziweigong Starlight Bridge, we returned to the entrance closest to Huangtong Fucheng.
After Zhou Heng left, Yan Shouyi still stood on the edge of the cliff, still looking at the turbulent sea of clouds. Suddenly he touched his temples.
With gentle force, a white hair was pulled out.
Then the white hair spontaneously ignited without fire, disappeared into ashes, and ceased to exist.
…
The closer you get to your thirties, the stronger the flavor of the new year becomes.
It is now the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and every household in Huangtong City has pasted the character "Fu" on it, hung up lanterns, and prepared firecrackers and various New Year's goods in preparation for the celebration.
It's dusk this day.
The winter snow has just stopped.
Thick snow accumulated in the streets and alleys.
The setting sun reflects the sunset, and then reflects on the snow, making it colorful and radiant.
Zhou Heng walked on such a road, stepping on the snow with his feet, making the sound of doves.
He held several brocade bags in his hands, which contained amulets he had drawn himself, ready to be sent to Lin Cang, Lei Xiuyuan, Yu He and others for New Year blessings.
Was walking.
Zhou Heng suddenly felt his eyes light up, as if the rays of the setting sun and the brilliance reflected on the snow were concentrated, converging on a figure in front of him.
This is a girl wearing a red cloak and an exquisite hairpin. Her facial features are exquisite and beautiful, and she is extremely bright. At first glance, she looks like a fairy in a dream.
"Brother Heng, happy New Year." The girl smiled sweetly, it was Yun Xiu.
