My clan is super powerful

Chapter 572: The Source of Pollution; Demonic Abyss
Not long after chasing, Zhang Zhi saw a familiar figure in front of him flying towards the wilderness.

After confirming that the person was the cultivator he had just met, he said loudly, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."

The monk just now slowed down when he heard the sound behind him. After looking back, he slowly stopped.

After Zhang Zhi caught up, the man said in a somewhat strange tone: "Fellow Daoist, why are you looking for me instead of those cultivators who are not in danger of losing control?"

When Zhang Zhi came closer, he didn't say anything, but asked sternly, "May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

After hearing this, the monk hesitated for a moment, then said, "My name is Xiao Shanhe!"

Zhang Zhi bowed to Xiao Shanhe and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xiao. I am Zhang Zhi."

"The reason I came here, Fellow Daoist Xiao, is actually because I have some questions I want to ask Brother Xiao."

Xiao Shanhe's face, covered with pustules, showed a hint of doubt: "If you have any questions, just ask directly."

"But I'm a little confused as to why you came after me to ask me this?"

"Instead of asking those monks who seem to be obviously better at communicating?"

Zhang Zhi chuckled and replied, "The reason is very simple. I have only communicated with fellow Taoists here."

"And in the process of communicating with fellow Daoist, I found that you are worthy of my trust."

"That's all."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Xiao Shanhe looked at him deeply, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, just ask whatever you want to know. I will definitely tell you everything I know."

After hearing Xiao Shanhe's words, Zhang Zhi sorted out the questions in his mind and prepared to verify his previous speculation bit by bit. He then slowly said, "From your tone just now, it seems that you have some opinions about those cultivators with less severe changes?"

After hearing Zhang Zhi's question, Xiao Shanhe laughed a few times and said, "That's for sure. I naturally have some opinions about those who have forgotten their original intentions and, in order to avoid being contaminated by the evil thoughts as much as possible, ignore the ordinary people who are contaminated by the evil thoughts."

"Moreover, there are quite a few monks who share the same opinion as me."

Zhang Zhi uttered a soft "oh" when he heard this, and thought to himself, the cultivators in this area of the world call the pollution of mental power evil thoughts?
Indeed, it is very appropriate to call that negative mental pollution the devilish thought. No wonder their way of cultivation is called the devil's way of cultivation.

Judging from what he just said, there seems to be some tendency of division among the demon refiners?
He glanced into Xiao Shanhe's eyes and said, "Why were you so friendly to us just now? I don't have any mutations, and I look like that kind of person."

Xiao Shanhe felt a little strange after hearing this question. After looking at Zhang Zhi, he finally said:
"The reason is very simple. You haven't mutated at all because your mental strength is strong enough to handle the contamination of demonic thoughts, not because you stood by and watched those who were contaminated."

"Unless you are the kind of person who is unwilling to even help ordinary people, but such a person is simply not likely to become a demon refiner."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi nodded slightly in his heart, realizing that his previous speculations were basically correct. At the same time, he secretly speculated in his heart, thinking that it seems that there seems to be a certain threshold for becoming a demon refiner?

After hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask:
"This evil pollution is the root of all problems."

"Excuse me, Fellow Daoist Xiao, do you know when this evil thought contamination began? And where did it come from?"

"Or has this evil contamination been around since the beginning of human records?"

After hearing Zhang Zhi's question, Xiao Shanhe was even more confused. He looked at Zhang Zhi for a few seconds before replying, "As far as I know, no one knows where this evil thought came from, and no one knows when it started."

"However, I've heard some people say that a long, long time ago, our world was free of any demonic thoughts."

"But one day, the entire world inexplicably shook, and then the evil thought appeared."

"However, in the beginning, the degree of pollution brought by the evil thoughts within the world was not high, and the area with the evil thoughts was not large."

"However, after a period of time, our world shook again, and the level of the evil thoughts' pollution suddenly increased for a long time, and the area covered by the evil thoughts also suddenly became much larger."

"And so, with each earth-shaking tremor, our land became increasingly polluted by demonic thoughts, covering a wider and wider area, until the entire world was filled with demonic thoughts."

After hearing what Xiao Shanhe said, Zhang Zhi was extremely surprised and wondered what was going on.
It shouldn't be like this. If, as I speculated, this mental pollution really comes from a great catastrophe, it would only appear when the barrier of the main god realm or the main world is broken through, right?

How could this thing appear so repeatedly? Was it a powerful main world in this region, possessing multiple main god-level beings, that had broken through the main god-level barrier?

But why did these spiritual pollutions spread to the entire world area?

This doesn't make sense?

Moreover, judging from what Xiao Shanhe said, there is no powerful force in this area of the world?

Where does this pollution come from?

Just as Zhang Zhi was racking his brains to figure out the source of this spiritual pollution, Xiao Shanhe continued, "But fortunately, the earth-shaking that came from nowhere disappeared for some unknown reason."

"If the earthquake continues, the level of demonic contamination in our world will be so high that no living creature will be able to survive."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi raised the question that had just occurred to him: "Does Fellow Daoist Xiao know anything about this earthquake?"

"And this earth-shaking thing, how many times has it happened?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shanhe shook his head slightly and said, "I'm just an ordinary Transcendent Realm cultivator. How could I possibly know the inside story of the Heaven and Earth shaking? As for the number of times it shook, there are many books that record it. Some books record five times, and some say six times."

"I speculate it should be six. Those records show five, so it's very likely that the first shock was not recorded."

"Regarding the shaking of heaven and earth, there are many different theories in the books. Some say it was caused by demons from outside the realm trying to enter our world and attack us. And those demonic thoughts, after realizing they couldn't enter our world, finally used their demonic thoughts to erode our world."

"Some also say that some powerful demon is gestating within this world, and the vibrations are actually the demon trying to break out of its shell."

"Some also say that the vibration is actually caused by our world being pushed by an extremely powerful being."

"However, this statement is basically just the fantasy of some ordinary monks. It's all nonsense."

When Zhang Zhi heard Xiao Yuanshan's words about an invasion from outside the world, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to him:
Yup!

There is no existence in this world area that has broken through the world barrier, so could it be other world areas near this world area?
Powerful beings in other world regions broke through the world barrier, so a great catastrophe was brought down, and it was a catastrophe of mental pollution. However, because the power of the catastrophe was quite strong, some mental pollution leaked into this world region.

Originally, this kind of mental pollution was aimed at the existence that broke through the barrier. However, since this is another world area, the mental pollution here could not detect the target, so it finally dissipated within this world area and began to pollute all intelligent creatures in this world.

But why are there so many vibrations?

Every vibration should represent a great disaster.

Could it be that the race is so powerful that there are five or six people who can break through the barrier?

But, if that race was really that powerful, wouldn't they have failed in the end?
After all, if this powerful race had not failed, after so many years of development, the area of the world where that race was located would have expanded towards the neighboring world and would have annexed the neighboring world area into their world long ago.

But Tathagata has left even the area of the Demon Refiners' world, the area of the world that was infiltrated by their mental pollution during the great catastrophe, the same as before. This can only mean that that race has also failed!

But, with five or six beings who have broken through the main god realm barrier, it is impossible for them to fail, right?

Could it be that they fell in the great catastrophe of the main world barrier?
Even five or six beings who have broken through the barrier of the main god realm cannot cope with the barrier of the great catastrophe of the main world?
Then this catastrophe of breaking through the barrier of the main world is too terrifying, right?
After sorting out the countless thoughts swirling in his mind, he asked Xiao Shanhe, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I have something I would like to ask you."

"Do you know what the current situation is like in the area where the evil thoughts first appeared and contaminated it?"

After hearing Zhang Zhi ask such a common-sense question again, Xiao Shanhe's eyes flickered with doubt again, but he finally replied, "I know. That area is the most polluted area by demonic thoughts in the world today."

"The closer you get to that area, the faster it will be contaminated."

"If it were in that area, even a god-level being wouldn't be able to hold out for long."

"That area is now called the Demonic Abyss."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi nodded secretly in his heart, and then asked, "Is the Demon Abyss at the very edge of heaven and earth?"
