This was also Ye Liuyun's idea, so after getting Lin Aoxue's consent, Ye Liuyun immediately smiled. Then the two returned the way they came, directly passing through the gate of the back mountain of Zhenwu Sect back to the mortal world. However, upon returning, they found that the situation in the mortal world was not optimistic.
"Such a dense storm of spiritual energy! The cultivation world has been closed off for so many years, and the stored spiritual energy is surging into the mortal world like a tidal wave. The mortal world is probably going to have some trouble for a while," Lin Aoxue said.
Just as the two were preparing to leave, the junior cultivators of the Zhenwu Mountain Taoist sect suddenly surrounded them completely.
"So it was you two who broke the seal that has protected Zhenwu Mountain for thousands of years? Who exactly are you? Do you know that by doing this, you will once again plunge the mortal world into misery? Do you know that?" An old man angrily approached Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.
Ye Liuyun sized up these people, then lifted his foot and stomped on the ground, causing a tremor that made them all lose their balance.
This single kick caused the cultivators of Zhenwu Mountain to show expressions of fear; the power of this kick was truly terrifying.
"How can this power be so terrifying?" Even the strongest man on Zhenwu Mountain was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
Of course, Ye Liuyun was just trying to scare them; he had no intention of actually fighting them.
"It seems you know that the other side of this gate is the cultivation world, right?" Ye Liuyun asked after giving them a warning.
"That's right. In ancient times, cultivators in the cultivation world regarded mortals as livestock to be enslaved. Thousands of years ago, a powerful being used his immense magical power to sever the connection between the cultivation world and the mortal world, which allowed the people of Earth to live peaceful lives for thousands of years," the old man from Zhenwu Mountain replied.
Ye Liuyun could understand this, because if there were no powerful sects to restrain other sects in the Divine Continent, the secular world would definitely be quite chaotic.
However, Ye Liuyun was familiar with the history of the mortal world on Earth. Even without cultivators, the mortal world on Earth had not had a particularly peaceful life in recent years. Apart from the past hundred years or so, the Xia Kingdom had been in a state of war for most of the time.
"Hehe! Fellow Daoists, let me ask you this: in these thousands of years since the mortal world and the cultivation world were separated, has the mortal world truly been at peace?" Ye Liuyun countered.
The old Taoist priest was about to answer something, but the words caught in his throat. Anyone who had read the news and knew a bit about history knew that the peace in the Xia Kingdom was quite short-lived.
"Haha, speechless now? Face reality. Even without the cultivation world, it would be difficult for humans to live peacefully. Besides, we need to go through the cultivation world to return to the world we came from before. We two are not from this world, so there's no way around it," Ye Liuyun said bluntly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue disappeared from the spot again, leaving Zhenwu Mountain.
However, after leaving Zhenwu Mountain and arriving at its foot, Ye Liuyun suddenly thought of something.
"Hey? Aoxue, I suddenly have a question. If we've been in the Divine Continent for three hundred years, and only three days have passed on Earth, then we've been on Earth for almost ten days now, right? Wouldn't a thousand years have passed in the Divine Continent?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly.
This question caused Lin Aoxue's expression to change.
"This? It can't be that exaggerated, can it?" Lin Aoxue became somewhat worried.
If a thousand years have really passed over there, then when they go back, everything will probably be different.
However, just as Ye Liuyun was worrying about this matter, the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror spoke again.
"Master, don't worry. This universe is not in the correct spacetime. The laws of time will correct themselves."
Upon hearing these words from the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror, Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see? That's good."
The two then got into the car and returned to Jiangzhou City. However, starting today, Earth will definitely not be the same as before. Not to mention whether those cultivators who entered the mortal world from the cultivation world will cause trouble, such a huge influx of spiritual energy into the mortal world may produce all kinds of monsters.
The original concentration of spiritual energy made it impossible for evil spirits and demons to exist, but now that's not necessarily the case. To put it bluntly, the mortal world of Earth is about to enter a supernatural worldview, and all sorts of things that science cannot explain will happen in the future.
Meanwhile, at other entrances and exits on Earth, cultivators from the cultivation world had already entered. However, they all kept a low profile and did not flaunt their presence after entering the mortal world. Instead, they quietly observed the various places.
For example, at this time, six men and women dressed in ancient costumes arrived in the capital of Xiadu. These people had a rather strange demeanor.
"Senior brother, is this the mortal world? How strange! Why are they all dressed like this? It's really indecent! And what are these boxes? They're moving so fast!" A young female cultivator in a white dress looked around with great interest.
As they were walking, some young people suddenly took out their phones and took pictures of them.
The feeling of being watched by others made the six of them quite unhappy. They came from the Immortal Crossing Sect in the cultivation world, which was the strongest sect among the ten major sects in the Eastern Divine Continent of the cultivation world.
"What are you doing? Get out of here." Being stared at like a monkey made the female cultivator very unhappy. She instinctively released her power, and a storm of spiritual energy surged out of her body, blowing all the young men and women who were watching away in one go.
Of course, to ordinary people, this is just like a strong wind blowing; they certainly can't see any spiritual energy.
"Junior sister, stop!" The leading young man quickly told the female cultivator to stop.
Before they came here, the sect had instructed them not to clash with the secular dynasties before they understood the current situation in the secular world.
After the female nun stopped, the young man who was leading them quickly led them away from there.
They arrived at a deserted area and began to talk.
"It seems that the mortal world is different from what our sect records. The mortal world has probably fallen into chaos, which can be seen from their attire. However, we still need to understand the situation in detail. Why don't we disguise ourselves as mortals and investigate the history of the mortal world?" the leading male cultivator suggested.
Indeed, the secular world is truly in a state of moral decay and social disorder, which is certainly completely different from ancient times.
A major sect like theirs must know about the secular world of Earth. However, the secular world they know is from three thousand years ago, three thousand years before the Xia Dynasty, which was still the Zhou Dynasty. In that era, etiquette and law were indeed emphasized everywhere, but by the late Zhou Dynasty, this had already changed.
Their sect records the Zhou Dynasty era; to put it more bluntly, their way of thinking and understanding is entirely based on the ancients.
After discussing it for a while, the group went their separate ways, as acting together would be too conspicuous. The young man who was leading the group passed by a men's clothing store, thought for a moment, and then went inside.
When he came out again, he had changed into a more ordinary outfit, but his long hair still made him quite noticeable to passersby.
As she moved forward, her divine sense constantly searched and observed her surroundings, eavesdropping on conversations among passersby to glean a wealth of information.
"Xia Kingdom? 023?" The young man couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
As he walked and looked around, he soon came across a bookstore. Although they didn't understand computer technology, books were similar to things in their cultivation world.
The young man from the Immortal Crossing Sect went inside, then used magic to summon the bookstore owner and began asking about the books he wanted to read.
He was definitely looking for history books. After finding them, the young man sat down in a corner of the bookstore and began reading them page by page.
"In the ancient mythological era, the Three Sovereigns created the world, and the Five Emperors established the heavens..." The young man read very carefully, memorizing almost everything after just one glance at each page.
He also found the Zhou state in their historical records, and then found the era of the current state, the Xia state.
This period spanned many dynasties and more than three thousand years of history, including the history before the Zhou Dynasty, which differed greatly from the history they knew.
Chapter 665 The First Signs of Chaos
After reading through the history of the Xia Kingdom, the young man from the Duxian Sect had a rather complicated expression. The country had experienced ups and downs, periods of prosperity and decline, but in its three thousand years of history, there had been almost no centuries of peace.
By the way, the Xia Kingdom's civilization is definitely more than three thousand years old. In the historical records of the cultivation world, the civilization of this planet can be traced back to at least three hundred thousand years ago.
However, every era has its periods of turmoil, during which a civilization can easily be destroyed.
This is why ordinary people in the secular world cannot know about history from much earlier times; that history is just myth and legend to them, but for cultivators in the cultivation world, that history truly existed.
The young man from the Ferry Immortals Sect then reviewed world history again.
After he read through all of these things, he basically understood what kind of era we were living in.
Half an hour later...
"So that's how it is. The old civilization has passed away, and a new one has risen. No wonder this era feels out of place with the eras we know. Have all the mortals of this era reached such a level that they can escape this world and roam the void with the help of tools? It's unimaginable. And those terrifying weapons, they seem capable of easily killing cultivators." The young man from the Crossing Immortal Sect exclaimed.
After sighing, he closed the book in his hand and walked out of the bookstore. Only after he left did the bookstore owner come to his senses.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, after returning to their residence, began making arrangements for their departure.
"Master, there's something else I almost forgot to tell you. Somewhere on this planet, there's an extremely powerful force, and there might be secrets hidden there. If you're interested, you can go and take a look." Back in Jiangzhou, Ye Liuyun heard the reminder from the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror again.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately asked out of curiosity.
Where is it located?
“I know the location, but I’m not sure what the place is called. I’ll transmit what I see to you through my divine sense,” said the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror.
After she finished speaking, the scene seen by the Time-Space Mirror entered Ye Liuyun's mind again. The next moment, a magnificent mountain range appeared in her mind, and Ye Liuyun seemed to recognize this place.
"Huh? This seems to be the Kunlun Mountains in our Xia Kingdom, right? This mountain range is said to be a sacred mountain. I didn't expect this place to actually hold a secret." Ye Liuyun said with some surprise.
The Time Mirror chuckled.
"It's not just this place that has secrets; there are several other places that also hold secrets."
After listening to the Time-Space Mirror mention several places, Ye Liuyun made a plan. Before leaving, he would definitely explore these places, hoping to make some unexpected discoveries.
However, what Ye Liuyun didn't know was that some cultivators in the cultivation world had already begun exploring various parts of the earth. They clearly knew that the mortal world of the earth might hold great secrets.
Furthermore, not all cultivators in the cultivation world act discreetly after arriving in the mortal world; some even act recklessly.
At this moment, in a small city in the Xia Kingdom, a man dressed in a black robe and looking somewhat gloomy was walking down the street.
People on the street, seeing this person's attire, would definitely keep their distance.
This person was probably used to being carefree in the cultivation world, and he didn't understand the situation in this era. So, he grabbed a man on the street to ask him some questions.
He reached out and inhaled, and a passing youth was involuntarily sent flying toward him, only to be grabbed by the neck by the man in black.
"Mortal, tell me, what era is this?" the gloomy-looking man asked with a sinister expression.
The young man who was arrested instinctively resisted violently.
"You, are you crazy? Let, let me go." The young man cursed at the guy directly.
But this one sentence directly enraged the gloomy man. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and with a forceful squeeze, he broke the young man's neck.
"A fool who doesn't know his own mortality." The man in black robes released the young man and threw him onto the street.
This scene must have startled the passersby, but then a series of exclamations rang out.
"Murder! Murder! Someone has committed a crime in the street!"
These exclamations displeased the man in black robes. He raised his hand and waved it in all directions, instantly unleashing a powerful gust of wind that sent the people around him flying.
"Noisy."
People in the distance saw this and quickly took out their phones to film it as evidence, while others called the police.
Several police cars soon arrived in front of the man in black. Although they didn't know what was going on, someone had reported that the man in black was committing violence in the street, so naturally they had to arrest him.
"Hey you over there, hands up, you're under arrest," a policeman said, drawing his sidearm and pointing it at the man in the black robe.
Upon hearing this, the man in black narrowed his eyes and walked towards the two policemen.
"Stop! Don't come any closer, or we'll shoot!" one of the police officers immediately shouted a threat.
However, the man in black robes revealed a mocking smile. He was just curious about the two of them. Everyone around him was terrified when they saw him kill someone, so why did these two dare to approach him with just a lump of iron in their hands?
In his eyes, the lump of iron was nothing but scrap metal, utterly intimidating.
"Bang!" After the police issued three warnings, the man in black still ignored the orders, so one of the officers decisively fired his gun.
They had already seen the condition of the young man killed by the man in black; his neck was mangled like that, and he was undoubtedly dead. Therefore, they could not treat the man in front of them as an ordinary criminal.
With a gunshot, the man in black robes stopped abruptly. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He raised his hand and touched his brow, where there was a hole.
"What? What kind of weapon is this?" The man in black robes looked at the blood on his fingers, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, losing his life. He died with his eyes wide open, probably never imagining that he would be killed by a mortal.
This guy was too careless; he underestimated the power of weapons used by humans in this era.
This guy is currently only at the Spirit River Realm. If he wanted to dodge, he could definitely dodge, or he could use his strength to resist. But the problem is that he never thought of using his internal energy to resist or dodge.
Because there are also mortals in the cultivation world, no matter how powerful they are, they can only be slashed and stabbed with knives and spears. This kind of damage cannot even pierce their skin. The physical body of a cultivator at the Sea of Wheels realm is enough to withstand these sharp blade attacks.
However, the power of modern weapons is far beyond that of ordinary knives, guns, swords, and clubs. The attack power of an ordinary pistol is more than ten times that of arrows from cold weapons.
It can only be said that the era of mortals as perceived by cultivators has passed, and the current mortal world is not the era they remember.
After the man in black robes died, the two policemen rushed over to him. They knelt down and examined him. After they pulled off the man's robe, they discovered that he was still wearing ancient clothing.
"Report! The perpetrator who committed the murder in the street disobeyed orders and has been shot dead by us. Over." The young policeman who killed the man in black immediately reported to his superiors.
This man in black robes is from the Heavenly Fiend Sect in the cultivation world. The Heavenly Fiend Sect is a sect belonging to the evil path in the cultivation world, and is the opposing force to the True Martial Sect.
Many people filmed the Tian Sha Sect cultivators indiscriminately killing innocent people, and the videos sparked a lot of discussion after they were uploaded to the internet.
The main reason they found the black-robed man very strange was that he could grab people from afar and strangle them, and how he could create a storm with a wave of his hand, blowing away other onlookers. It was all quite unbelievable.
Ye Liuyun naturally saw the video as well. She happened to be browsing videos when she saw it, and she immediately knew that the man in black robes was a cultivator.
"This?" Upon seeing the video, Ye Liuyun immediately went to find Lin Aoxue.
"Aoxue, I think before we leave, we need to find a way to restrain those guys in the cultivation world. Look, there are cultivators openly killing mortals on the streets." Ye Liuyun said as soon as he entered Lin Aoxue's room.
In Lin Aoxue's view, this was only a matter of time. The cultivation world was unlikely to abide by the laws and rules of the secular world; they would only act according to their own will.
However, when Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue watched the video to the end, they were immediately speechless.
"Are you kidding me? A dignified cultivator was killed with a single shot?" Ye Liuyun was dumbfounded.
Lin Aoxue shook her head speechlessly.
“This person was too arrogant. If he had dodged or used his internal energy to defend, he could have easily withstood it. It’s just that they probably mistook this gun for an ordinary blade, so they didn’t take it seriously. But they deserve it,” Lin Aoxue replied.
"It seems this formation is suppressing them quite well. But even so, if they get serious, they are still beyond the reach of ordinary people. Aoxue, let's go to the cultivation world and warn all the sects that need warnings." Ye Liuyun said seriously.
They were the two who opened the door connecting the cultivation world and the mortal world. They have a responsibility to restrain these cultivators for the sake of the mortal people, otherwise it would be their fault.
“Okay, let’s go there today. There’s no need to wait too long. Once we’ve settled things in the cultivation world, we can go to Kunlun Mountain and see what’s there.” Lin Aoxue agreed with Ye Liuyun’s suggestion.
