Chapter 571: Lost Civilization
"Although the three continents are all in the west, their directions are not consistent."
"Our Xituozhou is in the northwest corner, Daoshengzhou is southwest, and Tupizhou is in the middle of the two, close to the east."
"If you want to go to Xituozhou, you must pass through Tupizhou."
Above the clouds, the shirtless monk pointed at the end of the vast ocean and explained to Wang Ba.
Wang Hao nodded slightly.
The locations of the three continents are also recorded in a few classics within the sect.
However, there is not much recorded.
Compared with Fenglinzhou and Huangjizhou, which are close to each other, Xituozhou, Daoshengzhou and Tupizhou are too remote and there are many dangerous places along the way, so few people go there.
Daoshengzhou is accustomed to going out to sea to trade with other continents, so among these three continents, Daoshengzhou is more famous.
But with the great flood and the occurrence of natural disasters, most of the monks from the three continents, who were already like rootless duckweed, disappeared overnight and became history from then on.
Now all Wang Ba knows is that the only remnant of the branch is the Dalun Temple in the Great Snow Mountain on Xituozhou.
Zhao Jie carefully looked at the sea water below, and then said in surprise:
"The water level here has also dropped a lot!"
Wang Ba scanned with his spiritual sense, but did not see anything unusual.
The main reason was that he didn't know what the original water level was here, so naturally he had no way to compare.
However, Zhao Jie's words reminded him of something:
"So, the three continents should have surfaced?"
Zhao Jie nodded:
"As long as the underground veins are not washed away, the three continents should still be there."
Having said that, he couldn't help but get excited.
After being away from home for many years, he now finally has the hope of returning to his homeland. However, even after years of practice, he still finds it difficult to maintain peace in his heart.
I couldn't help but look at Wang Ba.
Wang Ba saw the excitement and urgency in the other party's heart and nodded slightly.
Then the speed increased suddenly.
Zhaojie hurriedly followed with joy.
It flew for a long time again.
Not to mention the many ferocious beasts and sea disasters encountered along the way.
Until we crossed a sea barrier.
The two finally saw the winding coastline at the end of the horizon.
"That's Tupizhou!"
Zhao Jie recognized him at a glance and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
Wang Ba frowned slightly.
After sensing the surroundings, he whispered:
"Why is there no spiritual energy here?"
"Ok?"
Zhao Jie was startled when he heard this, then he also felt it carefully, his expression changed slightly:
"It really is."
He couldn't help but wonder:
"Strange, the spiritual energy near Tupizhou used to be very abundant..."
"It was very plentiful before?"
Wang Ba frowned and glanced at the sea barrier behind him.
In fact, he had noticed before that the further west they went, the thinner the spiritual energy in the sea became. At that time, he simply thought it was due to the uneven distribution of spiritual veins in the sea.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
Besides the spiritual energy, it seemed that something else had changed.
But for a moment, he couldn't see the problem.
"Be careful, don't be careless."
Wang Ba thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only whisper a word of advice.
Zhaojie also looked serious.
Spiritual energy is extremely important for people who practice cultivation. If there is no spiritual energy, a fifth-level cultivator like him can rely on the Dao domain to isolate himself from the outside world and prevent his spiritual energy from being sucked away by the external environment. However, for middle and low-level cultivators, it won’t take long before their spiritual energy is exhausted and their realm falls.
Even a fourth-level cultivator can only delay for a few more years and barely survive.
But he clearly remembered that the former Tupi Continent was the one with the richest spiritual energy among the three continents.
“Could it be because of the great flood?”
Zhaojie was confused, but also on guard.
The two men descended from the clouds and flew to Tupi Island close to the sea surface.
What surprised both of them was that until they landed on the coast of Tupi Island, there was nothing unusual.
What comes into view is the lush primeval forest, which seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.
With his spiritual sense sweeping, he saw unknown wild beasts roaming in the forest.
If you look carefully downwards, you can see traces of sea shells, fish bones, etc. that have been soaked by sea water under the piles of rotten leaves.
Obviously, this place was once submerged by sea water, but it is unknown when it resurfaced.
And this forest apparently grew out after emerging from the water again.
Wang Ba casually cut down the oldest tree in the area, glanced at the growth rings, and quickly estimated the time:
"More than four hundred years... so it didn't take long for the sea water here to recede after the change in the sky."
I glanced at the forest which looked very old.
For a high-level cultivator, four hundred years may pass in the blink of an eye.
But for Tupi Island, which was submerged and then reappeared from the sea, it was a sea change.
For mortals, if they give birth at the age of twenty, it is enough time to reproduce more than twenty generations.
At this moment, Zhaojie suddenly let out a light exclamation.
"how?"
Wang Haowei was a little confused.
Zhaojie didn't say much, just raised his hand.
Then a figure came out of the distant forest uncontrollably, crashing into the trees and flying backwards.
"This is……"
Wang Ba looked at it curiously.
However, the figure turned out to be a strange-looking monster, with a snake head and a deer body, covered with scales, and sharp claws on all four hooves, as if it was made up of the body organs of many animals.
At this moment, he was caught by Zhaojie in the air, but he was still struggling fiercely, opening his bloody mouth towards the two of them, and the fishy smell almost rushed out.
But he was firmly grasped by Zhaojie.
Seeing this monster, Wang Ba blurted out subconsciously:
"World Eater?"
Zhao Jie looked at him somewhat bewilderedly:
"What is a World Eater? Isn't this the totem beast of a tribe in Tupizhou?" "Totem beast..."
Wang Ba took a quick look with his spiritual sense and realized that this monster did not have the chaotic aura unique to the World Eaters. It was indeed very similar to the totem beasts raised by the monks of Tupizhou that he had seen before.
The aura also seems to be at the second level.
"Yes, the Tupizhou monks' requirements for spiritual energy are not absolute. They care more about whether they have sufficient blood food..."
A guess suddenly came to my mind:
"That is to say, the totem beasts on Tupi Continent are not extinct?"
"It is possible that there are still indigenous tribes alive on Tupizhou?"
Not only Wang Ba, Zhao Jie also had the same idea in his mind.
The two men looked at each other, and Zhao Jie withdrew his magic power. The monster with a snake head and a deer body was no longer restrained and immediately pounced on the two men.
"Brainless."
Zhao Jie cursed softly and tapped it lightly with his finger.
Even though he had used 99% of his strength, even just this slight touch still made the totem beast stick out its tongue.
"Ow—"
This time, the totem beast finally realized the huge gap between them. It stared at the two men with fear, then jumped on all fours without hesitation and flew quickly into the depths of the forest.
The two of them did not delay and followed tacitly.
Not long after, the totem beast crashed directly into a muddy puddle in the forest and its body quickly sank.
There was no need for Wang Ba to do anything. He just raised his hand and clenched it slightly downwards, then grabbed it.
wow——
The huge swamp was directly wrapped in the Buddha's light and lifted up.
It also exposed the densely packed caves below, more monsters of similar appearance, and a group of dark-skinned savages with grass around their waists and painted with colored asphalt.
At this moment, their lair was suddenly uncovered, and they all showed nervous and dangerous looks.
Some people even grabbed bone spears and seemed to be throwing them at the two men.
"There are indeed some remaining monks from Tupizhou."
Wang Ba and Zhao Jie looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
"It's true that there is always a way out. Even in Tupizhou, there are still people who can survive such a flood."
Zhaojie sighed, and then tried to communicate with the survivors in Tupizhou's language.
But he soon frowned and looked at Wang Ba in confusion:
"These people don't seem to have high mental capabilities..."
Wang Hao shook his head slightly.
His eyes swept across the human skulls and bones scattered in the tunnel, as well as the bloodthirsty and ignorant looks in the eyes of these savages. He could see it clearly without them having to say it out loud.
Compared with the Tupizhou monks he had dealt with in the past, these survivors were completely uncivilized savages and had no sense of reverence at all.
Even towards him and Zhaojie, who had reached the state of spiritual enlightenment, he did not hide the cruelty in his eyes at all.
Any Tu Pizhou monk with a bit of common sense would not do such a life-threatening thing.
Obviously, although the flood failed to completely exterminate the indigenous people of Tupizhou, it seemed to have destroyed the local civilization, leaving only the indigenous descendants who were like savages, and some crude methods of worshiping totem beasts.
Thinking of this, the power of the Yin God flashed by imperceptibly.
After a few breaths, Wang Ba withdrew the power of the Yin God.
He shook his head towards Zhao Jie and said:
"Let them go, these people don't know anything."
Zhao Jie was stunned. Although he didn't know what means Wang Ba used, since the other party said so, he dared not disbelieve it. He loosened his hand, and the swamp hanging in the air directly covered this group of brutal savages.
Wang Ba did not hide anything and directly expressed his guess based on the little information he had pieced together from the minds of these savages:
"These people are indeed descendants of monks from Tupizhou. They must have been a very small tribe in the past. When they were swept away by a large tribe, they were forced to drift on boats. After the flood receded, only a very small number of people were left in this tribe. They returned to Tupizhou. However, during the years when the flood raged, the people of this tribe also survived by cannibalism, and some of their heritage and even their language were gradually lost..."
Once there is no language, even a language without writing, it means complete ignorance.
And these savages are obviously in this situation.
If it weren't for the fact that worshiping the totem beast could help them survive comfortably in this forest, I'm afraid the method of worshiping the totem beast would have been lost.
Even so, in this small tribe, there is only one method left that can reach the second level, and perhaps because of its incompleteness, the totem beasts summoned for sacrifice are often extremely cruel and easy to get out of control.
"It's so..."
Zhaojie couldn't help but sigh, and then said:
"It shouldn't be like this in Xituozhou. Every Buddhist country has a large number of scriptures and books, and the monks and the people also have a common language, so they should be able to be passed down."
Wang Ba nodded and agreed with this.
The situation in Tupizhou is special. The indigenous people are divided into many tribes, and sometimes the languages of the tribes are unintelligible to each other. Once a major disaster such as a flood occurs, it is easy for civilization to be cut off.
"It's a pity that this great flood also destroyed all the products of Tupizhou."
Wang Ba glanced around with his spiritual sense and sighed.
He still remembered that all the monks from Tupizhou he met in the past were very rich. He was only at the foundation-building stage at that time, but he had tasted a lot of benefits from these monks from Tupizhou.
Even the mixed-blood white tigers were captured from the monk Tupizhou.
This is certainly due to the bias of survivors. Anyone who can survive to Fenglinzhou has basically robbed a lot of tribes. But it is also because Tupizhou is relatively primitive and the means of collecting and utilizing resources are relatively scarce, so more resources can be preserved.
In the past, he thought that he had no chance to visit Tupizhou, but now that he has arrived in person, he is left with only regrets.
In this huge forest, there is not even a single spiritual thing. It is obvious that this place has become a completely barren land.
Although it is lush and green, it is just like this in the eyes of the monks.
The two did not stay, and under the guidance of the ring, they flew quickly towards the west.
We encountered some scattered indigenous tribes along the way.
It was just similar to the first situation I encountered. The natives here had almost completely lost their civilization before the flood. Apart from some totem stone statues, corroded wood carvings and the skeletons of high-level ferocious beasts that barely described the past glory of this land, there was almost no trace of civilization.
"Tupizhou really no longer exists."
Near the other coast of Tupi Island, Zhao Jie looked at a tribe of savage natives below and suddenly spoke with a complicated expression.
Sympathy for one's own kind is common to others. Like Tupizhou, Xituzhou was also a continent affected by the great flood. Xituzhou was even worse off because the flood started and spread from Xituzhou.
Seeing the miserable situation of Tupizhou now, he couldn't help but feel distressed and worried about the situation in Xitaozhou.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba could not help but remain silent.
Although the Three Continents and Fenglin Continent were rivals at that time, their powerlessness under natural disasters did not distinguish between camps.
Thinking that Fenglinzhou was almost submerged by the flood, he couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
He turned his eyes slightly and looked into the distance, only to see a bright yellow flame suddenly lit up in the coastal jungle to the south!
After a few breaths, a deafening sound was finally heard, and countless birds in the jungle were startled!
Then there were several rapid and deafening noises in succession.
"Eh? What kind of magic weapon is this? It looks like it's close to the second level in power, but why is there no fluctuation of magic power or spiritual energy?"
A somewhat surprised voice came from Zhaojie beside him.
However, at this moment, Wang Ba could not help but stand there in a daze.
Looking at the somewhat familiar light of the flame, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Then he couldn't help but utter two words:
"Cannon?!" (End of this chapter)
