Although Meng Zhang knew a lot of information about the gray earth world, he was not a native of this place after all, and he didn't know much about the details of many things.
When True Lord Shunyi reported to him, he maintained a cold attitude and didn't say much, just letting the other party explain in detail.
Zhenjun Shunyi only thinks that this ancestor has been wandering in the void all year round, so he doesn't know much about some situations in the gray earth world.
Next, Zhenjun Shunyi slowly explained.
The gray earth world was originally a big world rich in resources and spiritual power.
However, during the Immortal War that year, it was affected by the war and became dilapidated.
In the wasteland of the gray earth world, the spiritual energy is thin and not enough for cultivators to absorb it.
In these places where cities and towns were established in the gray earth world, the Void Returning Power used his magical powers to dig through the earth's crust and communicate directly to the depths of the earth, drawing out the world's most original spiritual energy.
In order to prevent these spiritual energy from dissipating, it is necessary to set up formation restrictions on the ground to bind the spiritual energy.
In order to maintain communication with the underground, a lot of precious materials need to be consumed.
With these methods, the cultivators have built artificial spiritual veins as the foundation of each power.
In the world of gray earth, it is even possible to artificially create fourth-level spiritual veins. Even if you make offerings to the True Monarch of Yuanshen, there won’t be much of a problem.
Of course, this approach is actually fishing in the marsh, not considering the future at all, but only pursuing the present.
At the cost of destroying the foundation of the dusty world, he forcibly supported monks from all walks of life.
This can only be done in a world that is dilapidated and about to completely collapse like the gray earth world.
If this were done in a complete world, the initiator would definitely become a public enemy of the world of cultivation.
In the Junchen world where Meng Zhang was born, the Heavenly Palace and the major holy land sects all tried their best to protect the entire world and enhance the world's heritage.
This kind of approach of digging into the foundation of the world is totally rebellious just thinking about it, let alone doing it.
All sects and individuals with similar behaviors will become the targets of the sects in Tiangong and the major holy lands.
In Meng Zhang's view, all the monks in the gray earth world are just drinking poison to quench their thirst, and they are all short-sighted people.
Although Meng Zhang disliked this approach, as an outsider from the gray earth world, he had no say in this matter.
Even if the gray earth world completely collapsed, it wouldn't be his turn to worry.
The man-made fourth-level spiritual vein where the Nebula Sword Sect is stationed is not very rich in spiritual energy. It even lacks enough energy to supply the True Lord Yuanshen in the sect.
As for the original Ancestor Yun, he rarely used the spiritual energy in it.
The artificial fourth-level spiritual veins themselves require constant maintenance.
Even if the monks in the sect use it carefully, the spiritual energy will become less and less with each use.
Now, this artificial fourth-level spiritual vein is about to be overhauled, which requires the consumption of many special materials.
When necessary, it is necessary for Meng Zhang, a powerful person like Meng Zhang, to go deep into the ground to communicate with the original spiritual energy in the ground and guide it to the surface.
As for the materials for repairing artificial spiritual veins, Nebula Sword Sect has long since exhausted them and has no money left to purchase them from the outside world.
The second difficult problem mentioned by Zhenjun Shunyi is about artificial spiritual roots.
The world of gray earth has experienced a war between immortals, and the whole world has begun to enter destruction.
Of course, this process is very long.
If there is no external influence, the gray earth world can continue to exist for years measured in ten thousand years.
A world entering destruction is generally filled with the spirit of decay.
The situation in the gray earth world is particularly serious.
Even if every town is guarded by protective magic circles, it still cannot completely isolate the air of decay.
The energy of decay slowly seeps into the human body, like a poison, slowly eroding a person's vitality and taking away his life.
Ordinary mortals in this environment have a very short lifespan and are almost unable to reproduce normally.
Mortals are the foundation of the world of cultivation.
Without the continuous reproduction of mortals, the world of cultivation will be in decline and eventually perish.
Only those who practice Qi can resist the erosion of this decaying Qi.
As a result, artificial spiritual roots have become very popular in the gray earth world.
Except for those who are born with spiritual roots, everyone else will have artificial spiritual roots implanted.
These people who have artificial spiritual roots implanted may not reach beyond the early stage of Qi refining in their lifetime.
But no matter how low their cultivation level is, as long as they are cultivators and have true energy, they can resist the energy of decay and have a relatively normal lifespan.
Artificial spiritual roots have become a necessity for mortals in the gray earth world.
Only in this way can we ensure the reproduction of the human race and prevent the human race in the gray earth world from becoming extinct.
Of course, no matter how mature the technology of making artificial spiritual roots in the gray earth world is and how low the cost is, it will still consume the resources of the cultivation world.
Therefore, the total number of human races in the gray earth world is not large.
If it were in the Junchen Realm, a sect with the power to return to the void would have to rule at least hundreds of millions of mortals.
However, the total number of all races within the Xingyun Sword Sect's residence does not exceed 100,000.
Although those guys with artificial spiritual roots are essentially cultivators, they have never been considered the sect's fighting power.
Their greatest role is to reproduce and ensure the survival of the human race.
Now that the Nebula Sword Sect's artificial spiritual roots have been exhausted, and there are not enough materials to refine it, it is really a big problem related to the foundation of the sect.
Even Meng Zhang felt a headache after hearing Zhenjun Shunyi's complaints.
He even regretted a little in his heart, why he took over such a mess like Xingyun Sword Sect.
Of course, he was not willing to use the resources Meng Zhang had on the Nebula Sword Sect.
Even the resources left by Patriarch Yun were not willing to be used up like this.
However, due to the failure of the Nebula Sword Sect some time ago, it has lost its resource points in the wasteland, and the accumulation of the large library in the sect is about to be exhausted.
Zhenjun Shunyi probably also knew the sect's difficulties, so he carefully tested whether Patriarch Meng was going to lead the monks in the sect to launch a counterattack to recapture the various resource points taken away by other forces.
Meng Zhang rejected Zhenjun Shunyi's temptation without even thinking about it.
The Nebula Sword Sect only has such a little strength, but it cannot withstand the hardships.
Relying solely on Meng Zhang, a great master of void restoration, he could barely protect himself.
In addition to Guchi Villa, even Lengshan Temple harbors ill intentions towards the Xingyun Sword Sect, and they secretly don't know if there are any other enemies.
It's okay for the Xingyun Sword Sect to be holding tight for now. If they launch an attack rashly, the sect will be in danger of overthrowing if the war goes unfavorably.
Meng Zhang did not immediately give a solution to the problem, but asked Zhenjun Shunyi to continue to maintain the operation of the sect after he left.
As for the problems faced by the sect, he will slowly find a solution.
The sect is currently in a difficult situation, and we need everyone to work together and persevere.
Seeing what Patriarch Meng said, Zhenjun Shunyi couldn't say anything more and could only retreat for now.
