Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 307 The consequences of recklessness

Mount Zhongnan, like many famous mountains, has also been developed into a tourist attraction, and it is quite well developed with a strong commercial atmosphere. If someone wants to live in seclusion here, it is probably impossible to live comfortably without money.

Of course, if it were in ancient times, without martial arts skills, one would not even be able to survive in the deep mountains and forests.

Qiu Chuji and Yang Guo traveled around Mount Zhongnan for two days but found no trace of the ancient tomb. They didn't know whether it was destroyed at some time in the past or was excavated by archaeologists in modern times.

Yang Guo felt a little disappointed after making the trip in vain. Although he learned from Qiu Chuji that they could return to the era he originally lived in through the magical little world, he would never feel at ease until he figured out what had happened in the past few hundred years.

It feels like my heart is always empty, or like there is something important that has not been resolved and I am always worried about it.

“Not everything requires a definite answer. I may be able to give you an answer to what you want to know.” Qiu Chuji thought for a moment and said to Yang Guo.

Things have come to this point, when many threads are connected, with Qiu Chuji's knowledge, even if there is a lack of supporting evidence, he can still infer the general situation.

At this moment, the bright moon shines between the mountains, and the gentle breeze blows across the green hills. In Mount Zhongnan, under the cover of night, the scenery hundreds of years later seems to be no different from that hundreds of years ago.

This made Qiu Chuji's mind clearer. At the same time, he also had an idea of ​​what the Immortal of the South Pole had gone through so much trouble to tell him.

Some answers may sound simple and obvious, but if you have not experienced them personally, these answers will never be engraved in your heart.

Just as everyone knows that if you study hard, get into a good university, study a good major, and seriously consolidate your professional knowledge, you will have a brighter future. However, before we are knocked down again and again by the hardships of life, before we perceive that the gap between our peers is getting bigger and bigger, and the distance between us is getting farther and farther, this answer, no matter how simple it is, cannot really penetrate into people's hearts.

The truths and answers from ancient times to the present have always been there, but only those who can draw strength and nourishment from them from an early age can be called "geniuses."

"Tell me!" Yang Guo's eyes were full of curiosity.

Before he arrived at Mount Zhongnan to look for the ancient tomb, he was still wondering whether Xiaolongnu and the others were hiding somewhere, waiting for him to find them.

But reality made him realize that in this time and space, whether it was Xiaolongnu or ghosts like Lin Chaoying and Lin Xiaolan, they had all disappeared between heaven and earth.

Even though many things in this time and space were familiar to him, he felt extremely lonely without those people.

The joy and hesitation, expectation and fear that emerged at the moment of obtaining the clue, all turned into confusion at this moment.

"The energy in the world has a fixed amount and a constant. It may be slowly increased due to various reasons, but excessive consumption will lead to energy depletion."

"The great explosion of supernatural phenomena occurred by consuming the world's potential. The energy of the next hundreds or thousands of years was completely overdrawn in a short period of time, thus creating a large number of extraordinary ghosts and monsters, allowing them to awaken and then walk the world."

“When the energy is exhausted, the world’s extraordinary Qi will also end. No matter whether it is ghosts or warriors who have mastered true Qi and internal strength, they will all disappear in history and become an unrecognized past!” said Qiu Chuji.

Hearing this, Yang Guo shook his head and muttered, “How is this possible! Ghosts aside, the Way of the Warrior has existed for many years after all. Even if people can no longer cultivate true Qi and internal strength, the martial arts moves and internal strength techniques will never disappear.”

"How could people in later times completely deny this past and history?"

"No way?"

“Time is very cruel. When no one can prove the existence of a state, then its existence will be questioned.”

"Just like when people can no longer see fireflies on summer nights, doesn't that make many people question whether fireflies really exist?"

"It's clearly in my memory that I caught the insect with my own hands when I was a child, but it has become a lie made up by others." Qiu Chuji said calmly.

Yang Guo was speechless and unable to refute.

"I see what you mean."

“But what about those strange objects in this world?” Yang Guo asked.

Qiu Chuji said: "Ghosts have disappeared, but they did exist. Their spirits, their energy, and their traces have accidentally attached to certain objects, and because of some natural or man-made coincidences, the objects have become spiritual!"

"These artifacts inherited the spirits and powers of ghosts, but they have nothing to do with those extinct ghosts. They are not their successors, nor are they their reincarnations. They are just a kind of evolution and adjustment of nature."

This is the same technique as refining equipment.

Refining equipment... especially magical refining equipment, isn't it just about finding some suitable materials, stuffing a large amount of spiritual ghost essence into it, refining it with techniques, and thus obtaining a powerful magic weapon?

In this world manipulated by the Immortal of the South Pole and promoted by Qiu Chuji and Yang Guo, the heaven and earth are the furnace and all living beings are the fire.

It seems that there are very few artifacts, and compared with the ghosts and monsters in the past, they appear to be more powerful, but in fact the overall number is being reduced.

Ten thousand became one.

The overall prosperity has become the excellence of the few.

The potential of this world has been exhausted!
It's like fruit that has been squeezed into juice. Even if the juice is sweet, the remaining residue is tasteless.

"Is that so?"

“So... that’s how it is!” Yang Guo felt a little disappointed, but he didn’t even know what exactly he was disappointed about.

With the support of the founder Qiu Chuji, he can travel through the heavens with his father Yang Kang and follow the founder. One day, if he has made some achievements, he can even beg the founder to grant him a favor and bring his confidantes out of that world. Together, they can roam the heavens and seek immortality.

But he was just lost.

Or it's a pity that this world's extraordinary legend will eventually come to an end.

The people of this world may not feel regretful about this, but in the endless years to come, even if a person of extraordinary talent appears, his life will have an upper limit. "Let's go! We can go back!" Qiu Chuji said.

In this time and space, there are still many areas that can be explored. For example, each country has a powerful national treasure. By refining them, powerful magic weapons can be obtained.

But Qiu Chuji did not choose to force it now.

The Dayou Five Elements Wheel is very suitable for him. Before he has mastered this magic weapon, Qiu Chuji has no further needs.

Only suitable and completely controllable magic weapons can be considered as aids in cultivation. A large number of inappropriate and uncontrollable ones are not aids but burdens.

Restraining greed is also a form of spiritual practice.

Yang Guo nodded slowly.

Another gust of wind blew by, and the grandparents and grandchildren were no longer visible on the hill.

Qiu Chuji released Yang Guo back to his original time and space, allowing him to reunite with Xiaolongnu and others and sort out his feelings.

Yang Kang and Yin Rui were sent back to their respective worlds to allow them to digest what they had gained from their practice during this period.

Afterwards, he returned to his small world alone, brewed a pot of tea, used the Dayou Five Elements Wheel to conjure up some delicious pastries, and lit the talisman to summon the gods.

In a moment, the figure of Nanji Xianweng appeared in front of Qiu Chuji. He glanced at the Five Elements Wheel on Qiu Chuji's finger, touched his beard, and smiled gently and kindly: "Do you like it?"

Qiu Chuji clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for the gift of the treasure!"

Although Qiu Chuji subdued and refined the Great Five Elements Wheel himself, the reasons and environment that led to the formation of the materials of this magic weapon were driven by the Immortal of the South Pole.

It's a bit like making dumplings just for this little bit of vinegar.

"nice! You love it!"

"Tell me, how do you feel?" asked the Immortal of the South Pole with a smile.

"I was wrong!" Qiu Chuji admitted his mistake straightforwardly.

"No! You're right!"

"It's not wrong to be wanton and change!"

"The key is whether you are able to bear the consequences."

"The potential of a world has been exhausted. When all the monsters are taken away, it will no longer be able to give birth to any extraordinary power." The Immortal of the South Pole took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Qiu Chuji, with a sense of turning the tables.

"Now, are you ready?" asked the Immortal of Antarctica.

Qiu Chuji pondered the words of the Immortal of the South Pole, wondering whether he wanted a constant or a variable.

After all, the trip between the ancient and modern times in the Condor Heroes world was just a targeted reminder and assessment.

The real challenge has not yet begun.

"I may need to prepare, prepare." Qiu Chuji said. He planned to delay for a while and accumulate and practice more.

“I can’t wait!”

"You're going to be struck by lightning!" The Immortal of the South Pole kept smiling, but it made people feel a little creepy for some reason.

Qiu Chuji was still in a daze, but the Immortal of the South Pole waved his sleeves and sent Qiu Chuji away.

In an instant, the Yuxu Bell began to hum, and the entire small world was shaking.

"Don't worry! Don't worry!"

"His Five Elements Primordial Spirit is about to be complete, and he has that magic weapon by his side. His body may be shattered, but his soul cannot be dispersed."

"It's a rare opportunity... After passing that level, he can be considered to have made it to the top in one step!"

With the comfort of the Immortal of the South Pole, the Yuxu Bell finally calmed down.

At the same time, Qiu Chuji suddenly appeared in a completely new world. Before he could see the surrounding environment clearly and sense the changes in the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth, a terrifying energy that was extremely fierce and surging like a tide, which shattered everything, destroyed everything, and created everything, swept towards him.

In just a moment, his body was torn apart.

The soul also suffers unimaginable 'torture'.

If his soul had not been close to perfection of the Five Elements and had not been assisted by the Five Elements Wheel, he would have been killed the moment he was hit by that terrifying energy.

Enduring immeasurable pain, Qiu Chuji's soul struggled to sense the surroundings, wanting to know what was going on. He raised his senses slightly and 'saw' a colorful lotus that bloomed and then closed.

And at this moment, he appeared right below the colorful lotus. The spreading terrifying electric arc was still surging like a tide. Although he was bearing the residual force of the remaining force, it was still too terrifying for him.
