On a mountain peak hundreds of kilometers away from Tianhai.
A figure was sitting cross-legged in the corner on the side of the mountain. At this time, a sword light suddenly flew from the distant sky and disappeared into the figure in an instant.
Ji Cen slowly opened his eyes, then took a breath and looked up into the distance.
"Bei Mang Mountain, right? I didn't expect that there is a secret cave there that is independent of the outside world. The spiritual energy inside is much richer than the outside world."
"Although it is not comparable to the world of cultivation on the other side of the starry sky, it is still enough for people in the cave to cultivate to the Golden Core stage, or even the Nascent Soul stage!"
Ji Cen said to himself.
After searching for the soul of Danyangzi before, he knew his origin and also figured out the situation of the cave in Beimang Mountain, including some ancient secrets.
And the area of Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven is really not small, almost as big as half of China, and the cultivation of the strongest among them has reached the peak of Nascent Soul Stage!
"My previous guess was indeed correct. In the ancient times, there was indeed an extremely glorious and prosperous era of cultivation on earth."
"No wonder I was able to find that mysterious 'group' character and that extremely extraordinary 'blood drop' deep in the mountains behind his uncle's hometown in Qingxue!"
"Moreover, deep in the Kunlun Mountains, there is a teleportation array that can travel to the other side of the starry sky..."
Taking a breath, Ji Cen secretly said: "From the memory of Dan Yangzi and the records in the classics he has read, it seems that a major event happened on the earth in ancient times, which caused the ancestral veins of spiritual energy to dry up, and the spiritual energy on the earth is gradually declining. It is thin, no longer suitable for practice, and has entered the Age of Dharma Ending.”
"As a result, many sects that own the Cave Heaven Secret Realm have moved their unexhausted spiritual veins into their Cave Heaven Secret Realm with great magic power, and thus sealed the entrances and exits of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm."
"Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven is just one of them."
"And this one is about endless years."
"Every few hundred years, or more than a thousand years, Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven will open the seal of the entrance and exit, and send one or two people to check the situation in the outside world to find out whether the spiritual energy in the outside world has begun to recover."
"It's just that to open a sealed temporary passage, not only does it require a huge amount of mana, but it also requires the power of a treasure, and the power recovery cycle of that treasure requires a full ten years."
"Therefore, the people sent by Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven will return to the entrance and exit of Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven ten years later, waiting for the people in the Cave Heaven to activate the power of the treasure and open a temporary passage to allow them to return."
"It's no wonder that when I visited famous mountains and rivers, I never met anyone who could break the ultimate martial arts. Now when I came back, I met this Danyangzi."
"This can be explained clearly..."
"With my cultivation back then, even if I happened to pass through the entrance and exit of a secret cave, I wouldn't be able to notice anything."
Ji Cen couldn't help but recall the past when he was pursuing the path to the ultimate martial arts, and felt some ups and downs in his heart.
In addition, Ji Cen also knew from Danyangzi's memory that he had come out of the Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven two years ago. It was only because it would take ten years for the passage to the Beiman Mountain Cave Heaven to be opened again, so he stayed there. outside world.
Another thing is that Ji Cen also learned a rather shocking judgment from Danyangzi's memory.
That is, Danyangzi judged based on the records of Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven that the aura of the outside world today was no longer attenuated compared to hundreds of years ago when Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven last sent people out to investigate.
Even slightly beyond.
Therefore, Danyangzi judged that the aura of the outside world had probably begun to enter the recovery stage, but it was probably only just recovering at the moment.
It is not yet certain how long it will take for the external spiritual energy to fully recover.
This time may be decades or hundreds of years, or it may be thousands of years or tens of thousands of years!
Danyangzi's judgment surprised Ji Cen. If the spiritual energy on the earth is really going to revive, doesn't it mean that the earth will be suitable for spiritual practice again in the future?
Moreover, it is not certain how many secret realms there are that were self-sealed in ancient times, like the Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven. Even the Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven has no records in this regard.
At least, Danyangzi has not seen any records in this regard.
However, combined with his own experience, or, to be precise, the existence of the 'Starry Sky Ancient Road' teleportation array.
Ji Cen felt that the ancestral veins of the earth's spiritual energy were exhausted in ancient times, and when it entered the Age of Ending Dharma, I am afraid that not all cultivators, but all the caves and secret realms, were self-sealing like this Beimang Mountain Cave.
It is very likely that the cultivators on the earth made different choices back then. Some people and some sects chose to seal the secret realm of the cave to themselves and isolate themselves from the outside world, hoping that one day the spiritual energy ancestral veins would be revived.
Another group of people may not have hope for this, or they may feel that even if the spiritual energy ancestral veins on earth are really revived in the future, they will not be able to wait for it.
Therefore, he chose to build the ancient starry sky teleportation array and headed to the unknown star field to find a world suitable for practice.
And in the end, they succeeded.
Reached the world of cultivation on the other side of the starry sky!
Of course, these are just Ji Cen's guesses, and he cannot yet tell whether this is the case.
After taking a deep breath, Ji Cen withdrew his gaze and whispered to himself: "It seems that in some corner of the earth, there may still be cultivators who have come out of other secret caves."
"Judging from the situation in the Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven, even if there are other cave heaven secret realms with more abundant spiritual energy, I think they won't be much stronger."
"According to Danyangzi's memory, people in Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven were able to practice to the out-of-body stage or even the god-transformation stage in their early years."
"However, after so many years of consumption, the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins in Beimang Mountain Cave Heaven is also constantly drying up. Gradually, it is now unable to support the cultivators among them to break through to the realm beyond the out-of-body stage."
"In order to reduce the consumption of spiritual energy in the cave, Beimang Mountain Secret Realm has been deliberately controlling the number of cultivators. From an unknown number of years ago, it has controlled the number of cultivators to around a hundred people to reduce the consumption of spiritual energy as much as possible. And the consumption of various cultivation resources!"
"Even if other secret caves follow the example of Beimang Mountain Cave and control the number of cultivators, after such a long period of time, no matter what, they may still be able to support some people to practice to the stage of becoming gods."
"It is unlikely that there are characters above the combined stage."
"Even if there are, the number is definitely very small. With my current level of cultivation, as long as I can completely understand that 'set' of characters, no one in the same realm can be my opponent."
"There's nothing to worry about."
"However, on Xun'er's side, it's better for him to be more cautious in the future, so as not to encounter cultivators who have come out of other cave-heaven secret realms. He has just entered the golden elixir stage, so he may not be his opponent."
Thinking of this, Ji Cen pondered again, "Well...Besides, I still have to choose a few more self-defense treasures that can be passively triggered to make it safer for Xun'er."
"However, before that, I still have to go to Beiman Mountain to see if I can open the seal of the cave..."
