The world must have never imagined that this once unparalleled and arrogant person in the world could not even bring up the arrogance of the past in front of Ye Feng. At this moment, Xiao Ting, who has an immortal spirit, is more like an old man.
Ye Feng looked silently at Captain Xiao Ting in front of him, as if he was just looking at an old man, and finally sighed.
"You don't have much time left."
Monks in the Qi Refining Realm will die if they do not advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm before 200 years of life. Now the old man's lifespan is about to end.
Seeing that Ye Feng could take the initiative to talk to him, the old man couldn't help but smile, looking unconcerned, as if Ye Feng was talking about other people's matters at the moment. At this moment, the water on the tea stove was boiling, and part of the water flew to an air teacup whose shape could be vaguely seen, as if spiritually, and handed it to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng took it and looked at the tea color and fragrance.
The cup of "good tea" in the hand has not disappeared, and the color has deepened slightly.
At this moment, the old man's eyes showed approval. Outsiders may not be able to understand it, but the two people present had a brief exchange. The brewing of tea was completely controlled by the old man's released spiritual power. The ultimate power lies not in powerful destructive power, but in precise control. Because only in this way can the efficiency of power utilization be maximized. Ye Feng admired the old man's precise control of his external spiritual energy. When he took the tea, the old man withdrew his spiritual energy, and then Ye Feng released his inner energy to create another air teacup. Seems more accurate than the old man. When Ye Feng came into contact with the spiritual power of the old man's tea cup that was about to dissipate, he could feel the purity of the spiritual power, but it still contained a hint of decay.
"It seems that you have not slacked off in the past three years. It is a pity that you have no spiritual roots and cannot embark on the path of cultivating immortals. Otherwise, you will be the best successor." The old man could see the regret that could not be concealed in his eyes.
"That's why you keep a black sheep like Long Aotian."
The old man did not deny it.
Spiritual roots are the basis for cultivating immortals. Only spiritual roots can absorb and transform the spiritual energy absorbed from the outside world into spiritual power and store it. This state is the Qi Refining state. Even though Xiao Ting is dying and his strength is seriously declining, looking at the world's strongest 9th-level bodybuilding peak in front of him, even Xiao Ting who is no longer at his peak is no match for him. This is the huge gap between the physical training realm and the Qi refining realm. If spiritual energy could be restored in this world, then spiritual roots would be such an important thing.
Spiritual roots are divided into 5 lines, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. When there was abundant spiritual energy in the past, the fewer types of spiritual roots, the higher the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy. Therefore, single-color spiritual roots are the best, also called heavenly spiritual roots, followed by 2 colors. , the worst is the five-color spiritual roots, because the absorption efficiency is uneven, and the mutual restraint is complicated, so the Qi refining realm is basically the limit, and foundation building is absolutely impossible. In fact, there is also a colorless spiritual root that transcends the five elements, also called the ethereal spiritual root. It is a spiritual root that is more powerful than the heavenly spiritual root. It is also called the fairy spiritual root. It is said that this kind of spiritual root has never been seen before. And Ye Feng doesn't even have five-color spiritual roots. He has no spiritual roots.
According to the ancient saying in the world of immortality, Ye Feng will only be a mortal throughout his life and will never be able to embark on the path of immortality. This is the iron law of cultivating immortality. But Ye Feng is not inferior. In the past three years, he has been exploring another road, a road that is not weaker than the ancient road of cultivating immortals. Moreover, Ye Feng has a hunch that this road can also lead directly to the end of cultivating immortals, a path that can lead to a true mortal. The path to immortality.
It can be said that the former immortal cultivators were following the path of their predecessors, but for Ye Feng, he was trying to carve his own way in the land of thorns.
"My life is about to end, and there must be the next strong person to protect Huaxia in my place. Long Aotian has the twin spiritual roots of thunder and fire. Although his qualifications are not the best, at present, he is my only choice."
The old man was playing riddles with Ye Feng. The old man was not in a hurry. He was just waiting quietly for Ye Feng who was thinking. Waiting to see if Ye Feng can find the final answer based on this useless information.
"Chains from the sky?" Ye Feng gave his answer after thinking for a long time.
The old man nodded approvingly, but at the same time there was deep regret in his eyes. The old man understood how outstanding the child in front of him was. When he was more than 10 years old, with one man and one sword, he blocked thousands of Japanese warriors from outside the pass and killed hundreds of them; It's a pity that fate likes to play tricks on people. He has no spiritual roots and can only be a body-building warrior in his life.
The old man explained, "The earth used to be full of spiritual energy, and the world of immortality was very prosperous at that time. But later, the spiritual energy not only dried up, but many great immortal cultivators fell into decline because they could not absorb the spiritual energy. Many of them were unwilling to accept their fate and risked their lives to survive the calamity and become gods. , almost all failed without enough spiritual energy support, and the body died and the spirit disappeared. Gradually, the human body degenerated, and some geniuses invented body-building exercises. At that time, there was still a trace of spiritual energy in the vast world. But even so, the world's realm can only reach the Qi Refining realm at most. Now, except for Kunlun and other places in the world, there are still stars of spiritual energy, and there is no more spiritual energy in the world. The world's realm has also stopped at this level. In the warrior realm, no more Qi Refining Realm monks will be born. With my demise, there should be no more Qi Refining Realm monks in this world."
"There used to be a prophecy in the Kunlun Jedi, in the cave where I found Po Yuan Dan, that when the Chain of Heaven appeared, spiritual energy would return to heaven and earth, and the world of immortality would return to its peak prosperity, but people from the outside world of immortality would also come, waiting for the opportunity Coming to Earth. Judging from the current situation, the prophecy is true."
"Do you know the law of the jungle?"
"Yeah" Ye Feng nodded slowly.
"I don't think that when those aliens from the fairy world came to earth, they came to bring happiness to the people on earth, so we need the power to protect ourselves, but the accumulation of power takes time, and we don't have time, nor do we Ability to delay time.”
"Some time ago, a secret realm of space rifts appeared in Antarctica. It was detected that it was an unstable space-time turbulence. It overlapped with the space at a certain point in the past of the fairy world. It is not yet stable, but according to research, there will be a period of time soon. During the stable period, the ancient forces other than Huaxia will send out their core personnel to seek opportunities. Although it is risky, we have no choice."
"For the continuation of the Huaxia clan, I need you to lead a team to explore the secret realm."
Ye Feng looked at the old man in front of him quietly. Many people in this world like to stand on the moral high ground and order others, without paying attention to whether they are qualified to stand there. However, Ye Feng knows clearly that the old man in front of him is qualified and for the sake of Hua Xia Cunsu, he can sacrifice anyone including close relatives.
"I reject."
The old man didn't seem to be disappointed, but his already chaotic eyes became even darker. The old man already guessed the answer
"Is it because of the red leaves?"
