just came to find Feng Zhaolian.” 。If you think it's inappropriate for me to be here in the Chen Mansion, then I'll call her over and we can talk outside. 。" Quan Qinghua didn't say a word, he jus...Going deeper, Shili was able to see through the deception.
Originally, the sea formation's position had changed. The part closer to the shore remained unchanged, but the deeper parts seemed to have been tampered with. 。Some formations have been moved, while others have had their arrangements altered. 。The further he went, the more drastic the changes became. He could even feel them directly influencing the weather outside. 。Shi Liyuan remembered that before they went to sea, he and Ye Wenyan had analyzed why it rained incessantly. Afterward, they analyzed why there was June snowfall. Whether it was rain or snow, it suppressed their use of spiritual power. 。Now I understand, it all stems from this boundless sea. It's the changes in the sea formation that caused the earth to tremble, resulting in a loss of distinct seasons. 。But why would this sea array affect their spiritual power Shi Liyuan had never thought about the relationship between the Endless Sea and the earth's spiritual energy before, but after meeting Ye Wenyan, he always heard Ye Wenyan talk about the Endless Sea. She said that her previous family was brought to this time through the Endless Sea, and even the name "Endless" was named after her ancestor Ye Wu'an. 。So gradually, he also began to doubt what the boundless sea truly was, even starting to wonder if the dissipation of spiritual energy four hundred years ago had anything to do with this sea. 。But besides that, the boundless sea held a more special significance for him. 。Underneath this sea, suppressing a great demon. 。That was a great demon who had already been struck by Lei Xiu into human form. Because of its savage nature and addiction to killing, the cultivators knelt before his master, Yan Budu, begging him to appear and suppress the demon. 。After the last thunderbolt dissipated, Yao took on a human form. This was equivalent to reaching the existence of an ascended cultivator, even if he couldn't reach the later stages, he would be at the level of mid-ascension. 。There is such a powerful villainous force that harms the world, the Cultivation Realm will sooner or later be occupied by demonic beasts. 。Yan Budu's cultivation back then was already at the peak of the Questioning Realm, just one step away from reaching Great Perfection. While his cultivation could not easily kill a powerful demon, it wasn't impossible either. 。So actually back then, Yan Budu didn't intend to suppress the great demon, but rather he wanted to kill it. 。The reason why he didn't kill but instead suppressed them was because right at the last moment, a change occurred on the ground. The spiritual energy of the earth suddenly disappeared, causing him to be unable to cast his final spell halfway through. 。The fight took place above the boundless sea. After the spiritual energy dissipated, Yan Budu and the great demon both fell into the sea together. 。At that time, no one understood what had happened. Everyone watched as Zun fell into the sea. Some wondered if Zun was seriously injured, otherwise, why would he fall into the sea Moreover, the way he fell seemed like he couldn't even use any magic. 。And that's when they realized something was wrong. 。Because the disappearance of spiritual energy is a major event for all cultivators, when people discover that what they exhale is no longer spiritual energy but ordinary air that mortals breathe, they panic. 。In the ensuing chaos, no one paid any attention to the honored and mighty sea demons anymore, except for Shi Lifen who walked towards the middle of the sea. 。The great demon fell into the sea, whether by coincidence or retribution, it directly landed in a sea formation. 。The sea formation automatically closes after it engulfs, trapping the great demon within. 。Instead, it was Zun Yan who wasn't able to fly across and was rescued by Shi Li Yuan. As soon as he got ashore, he heard Yan Bu Du say: "The earth's spiritual energy is gone!" Shi Li Yuan was still puzzled at the time. Why was there no earth's spiritual energy But it was clearly still there! He could still use his water-avoiding technique to walk on the endless sea and he could still breathe normally!But soon he realized what was different, because what he inhaled wasn't earth's spiritual energy, nor ordinary air, but a special kind of medium, like taking from the sun hanging in the sky. There was a warm feeling in his chest, and the power was even more powerful. 。The
Yan Bu Duo was unable to kill the great demon, and the great demon was also imprisoned at the bottom of the W'an shore. The cultivators ran around seeking help because of the disappearance of the earth's spiritual energy, but unfortunately no one could think of a way to deal with all this
Even the venerable Yan Wudou lived like an ordinary person, unable even to fast. He needed three meals a day and the usual bodily functions. 。No one cared about the great demons anymore, after all, without spiritual energy, they were powerless. Perhaps even those who had finally attained human form could no longer maintain it! At that time, they would just be beasts, nothing to be afraid of. 。
People were right, the demon who had just transformed into a human form couldn't maintain it. Shi Lifen went to sea to see, and that demon in the sea formation had already shown its original form. It was a half-human, half-horse monster, with a human torso and a horse's body.
After the monster transformed into a human, it became extremely arrogant. Even before it transformed, it was already a powerful figure in its own right. He had never seen a monster so humiliated before. 。Perhaps he had been watching for too long, but the beast slowly turned its head and looked at him. 。After a while, he said: "Shi Lifen, as my honored disciple, even though it was your master who brought me to this point, you are still implicated." 。Listen to me, I will get my revenge sooner or later. Even if the spiritual energy of this land can never return, I won't let you go. 。You better live long enough, I don't want to have to wait until I've cultivated a human body again only to find that you all are dead. 。”
Shili淵 still remembers that phrase to this day, but at the time he didn't take it to heart. After all, the earth's spiritual energy had vanished. Even if a great demon was unwilling, what could it do It couldn't possibly absorb solar essence like him, could it If that were the case, it wouldn't be as simple as the earth's spiritual energy disappearing. Rather, the old master wanted to destroy humanity. 。This happened four hundred years ago, and it's still vivid in my memory. 。Just as the great demon was subdued and imprisoned at the bottom of the Wushang Sea for five years, Yan Budu died. 。Even the most revered Spirit Cultivator, the pinnacle of cultivation in this world, could not withstand the passage of time after their spiritual energy dissipated. 。Some swallows don't return because they commit suicide, and some die of illness, but no one knows that in fact, the swallows die at the hands of Shi Li Yuan. 。But it wasn't Shi Liyuan who took the initiative to kill him, but he forced Shi Liyuan to kill himself. 。It's hopeless to recover one's spiritual energy. In Yan Budu's words, it's better to use the remaining cultivation while still able than to sit in the cave and wait for death. It's best to pass everything on to his disciples. 。After all, his most proud disciple in this life could still absorb the essence of the sun and moon, continue to use spiritual power, and continue to be a true cultivator. 。Five years is the upper limit. After five years, his cultivation will begin to decline, and by then he won't be able to bestow it even if he wanted to. 。Then he asked Shi Liyuan to perform a soul-transferring ritual, taking only his cultivated spirit essence from the late Nascent Soul realm, leaving behind his body, will, and thoughts. 。At that time, Shi Liyuan had just ascended to the peak of his power, but his realm was still unstable. He could no longer guide his disciple's cultivation, so he devised this method as a last resort to protect his beloved disciple and send him into a higher realm. 。This matter, he discussed with Shi Liyuan. Of course, Shi Liyuan wasn't willing, but Yan Butu is just like that, once he makes a decision, no one can change it. If you don't want to take it, I'll offer it proactively. You have the ability to kill me, as long as you don't kill me, I'll find a way to make you accept all my skills. 。Even without spiritual power, I can still use magic. This is what Yan Budu said: Master Li Yuan, don't force me to use magic, because once I do, my soul will be scattered and I won't even have the chance to reincarnate. 。What can Shili Yuzhen possibly do He knows Yan Budu too well; he's absolutely capable of doing something like that. 。So he had no choice, he couldn't bear to watch Yan Budu's soul fly and his essence dissipate. 。Therefore, he performed a soul-seizing ritual on Yan Budu, seizing his two thousand years of life experience and cultivation insights. 。After that soul-transfer, his cultivation directly advanced to the late stage of Questioning the Pinnacle, becoming a great cultivator at the late stage of Questioning the Pinnacle, just like Yan Budu. 。Even as Yan Budu was dying, he felt great satisfaction: "You have truly lived up to your status as my most beloved disciple, Shi Lifen. You must become a miracle in this world. Even if everyone else dies, you must live on." 。You living is me living, you have to take me with you and see what the world will become thousands of years from now. 。He also said: The giant demon at the bottom of the ocean, no shore could hold it down for too long. Five years was enough time, and it would be coming out soon. 。Go subdue it again, and this time, bind it completely. 。But don't think about killing it, because it has entered the sea formation. Once that formation is destroyed, a tsunami from the boundless sea will engulf the entire continent. 。With your current abilities, you are not strong enough to withstand such a massive tsunami. So just suppress it, don't even think about bringing it out to kill it. It can't be killed anyway. 。Thus, Shi Liyuan went to the Endless Sea. The great demon was indeed eager to break through the sea formation and come out from the bottom of the sea, it had even split a part of its soul essence in the south to create havoc. 。The arrival of Shili Yuan once again suppressed it, but its primordial spirit also brought the Shen clan to the surface of the sea. 。That was Shi Liyuan's most difficult choice at the time, to protect Shenjia or to protect... 。The outcome of the matter was already known to everyone. Shi Lifen effortlessly pulled out a young man from the Shen family, which was also known to everyone. 。Because of this matter, Shi Liyuan felt indebted to the Shen family, so in the first few years, he took very good care of them. 。>Until the young man from the Shen family grew up, married and had children, and the Northern Qi nation was established, the cultivators also accepted the fact that they could no longer draw upon the spiritual energy of the earth. Only then did he hand over the Shen family to the local government and stop inquiring about them. 。Of course, even if he didn't inquire, the government knew about the relationship between the Shen family and the Emperor. Naturally, they wouldn't mistreat them. 。Therefore, the Shen family, under the protection of the government, lived better and better, and soon became the richest family in Chiyun City. 。Shi Liyuan had also inquired a few times later, hearing that the Shen family was doing well, so he didn't ask any further. 。And the big monster under the endless sea, he had often gone to take a look in the past hundred years. Later, he found that the big monster could not possibly break out of the sea array, so he stopped paying attention. 。This includes him going to the Unbounded Sea before he met Ye Wenyan last year to quell the great tempest. He also investigated whether a powerful demon was stirring up trouble, but the tempest and the demon were unrelated. 。The great demon was still sleeping. The occasional news from Chiyun City, such as the Shen family's offering to the sea, he felt were merely a form of psychological solace sought by fishermen. He never expected that after four hundred years of shrewdness, he would overlook this major event...e, otherwise, I will never touch Ye Lian Mian.""But you are also your mother's daughter, and still a daughter. There's no need to yield to her as a younger sister." 。"Second brother, that's different...
