Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

"Uh..." Don't say it. These words immediately stunned Bai Sheng. He didn't know how to reply for a while. It was a lie to say that he had broken through to the realm of heaven and man.

It can be said that there is no breakthrough.

It’s really not easy to explain the rejuvenation thing.

So after thinking about it, she could only respond vaguely:

"It has not completely broken through. If we want to forcibly divide it into a new realm, it should be called a half-step heavenly being. Let's not mention this. What happened?"

After hearing this vague response, no one among the nine elders present questioned it because they thought it was quite reasonable.

Rejuvenation definitely cannot be the perfect state of the original great master. There must be progress no matter what, otherwise there is no reason to rejuvenate. But going back nearly five hundred years, no one can break through the realm of heaven and human. The Tai of their sect The elders don't seem to be so special that only one person is born in five hundred years, so if we look at it comprehensively, it is quite reasonable to break through the half-step to heaven.

It can both explain rejuvenation.

It's not too shocking.

But the next second, Xu Qingyao still asked worriedly: "Supreme Elder, could it be that we disturbed you when you were breaking through just now?"

If that were the case, their sin would be too great.

It took five hundred years for someone to be able to break through to the realm of heaven and human beings, but was interrupted by them. Now he is stuck in the half-step of heaven and human realm. How can it not be considered a sin?

"Don't think too much, it has nothing to do with you.

The realm of heaven and man is not that easy to break through, and it may even be related to the changes in the environment of heaven and earth. Let's go to the main hall of the Heavenly Lady Palace first. By the way, you can tell me what happened in the recent period and what the situation is like! "

In one or two sects, no one has broken through to the realm of heaven and human for many years. It is also possible that the quality of the disciples they have accepted is not good. But in a world where no one has broken through to the realm of heaven and human for hundreds of years, it is obviously not a matter of human beings or qualifications. It is only possible. It is a problem of the entire environment, so Bai Sheng guessed from the beginning that there is a high probability that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been exhausted to a certain extent, and the rules have also changed.

Limit the birth of celestial warriors.

So at this time, she casually stated her guess and used it to comfort the nine elders. After all, her current situation had nothing to do with them.

After saying that, Bai Sheng was already striding forward.

Go straight to the main hall of the Heavenly Lady Palace.

The Ninth Elder was stunned for a moment and then quickly followed. At the same time, the Great Elder Xu Qingyao hurriedly said: "Tai Shang Elder, it turns out that you also feel that cultivation is becoming more and more difficult. It may be related to the general environment of heaven and earth. We have actually made some guesses over the years, but I've never been quite sure.

According to the information we have collected, no new Grand Master has been born in the entire Jianghu for five to sixty years. Looking back further, the number of Grand Masters born in the past hundred years has been reduced by half compared to the previous hundred years. Not all. It stands to reason that the population in the last hundred years is much larger than the population in the previous hundred years. It makes no sense that there are fewer people with outstanding talents. So it is really possible that it is a problem of the environment of the world as you said.

In the thirty years since our Heavenly Lady Palace used the Protector Array to retreat, a total of three great masters were born.

But now the sect-protecting formation has been closed for forty-five years.

But not a single great master was born.

But in reality, we have accepted many times more disciples in the past forty-five years than in the past thirty years, and there are many more talented people, but no one can break through.

We now even have some doubts as to whether there is something special about the Protecting the Sect Formation that can help warriors break through, but since the Protecting the Sect Formation will not be opened again for another fifteen years, we cannot verify it. "

It is not that there are no smart people in this world. Many people have already speculated about this. However, because the inability to break through the changes in the world's environment is undoubtedly far more disappointing than one's own lack of qualifications, so no one has publicized this speculation. Everyone is more willing to deceive themselves and others, believing that their qualifications are not enough and they have lost some key breakthrough methods, which is why no one has broken through to heaven for many years.

Until the past few years, even the Grand Master realm has been nearly a dozen years old, and no one has successfully broken through on his own.

The newly born great masters are all formed through initiation.

Similar speculation has only begun again.

Some people even cried out in despair that the end of martial arts was coming.

Hearing this, Bai Sheng couldn't help but recall the sect-protecting formation that the original body had come into contact with, and the difference in perception before and after the sect-protecting formation was activated. Based on his memory, Bai Sheng could tell that the so-called sect-protecting formation was actually A Nine Palaces Bagua Tracing Formation and a Spirit Gathering Formation. The former can make it difficult for others to find them, and if they themselves do not understand the formation, they cannot enter and exit freely.

The latter is simply gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Forcibly increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the Temple of the Goddess.

According to Bai Sheng's estimation, the martial arts realms after the innate realm are extremely closely related to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The depletion of spiritual energy of heaven and earth may not only slow down their cultivation speed, but also prevent them from making breakthroughs.

It's probably the same reason that dragons can't be raised in shallow water.

If this trend continues, the martial arts in the future will indeed gradually enter its doomsday. When the spiritual energy is exhausted to an extremely thin level, even the innate realm may not be born. Perhaps the only way to ensure that the sect can still survive is through initiation. Two top masters are in charge, and if there is a problem with a certain generation, the masters will be cut off.

Because they knew martial arts and were quite extraordinary in Qinggong, Bai Sheng and the others successfully arrived at the main hall of Tiannv Palace in just a few words. By this time, the First Palace Lord, the Second Palace Lord, the Third Palace Lord and other elders had already arrived. When everyone arrived, seeing Bai Sheng's appearance at this time, they were no less surprised than the nine elders before. Fortunately, there was no need for Bai Sheng to explain this time, and the elder helped explain:

"The Supreme Elder has made a breakthrough in this retreat. Although he has not reached the realm of heavenly beings, he can still be regarded as a half-step heavenly being, so he has the appearance of rejuvenating himself.

Lifespan should be increased a lot.

This time my Heavenly Lady Palace will definitely be worry-free! "

What followed was a noisy discussion with some joy, congratulations, greetings to the Supreme Elder, etc. When the hall became quiet again, the overall atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.

It's very simple. Previously, they thought that their sect only had an old grand master-level elder who was hard to say whether he had the strength to fight. They knew without thinking that it would be difficult to cope with future crises, but now Chui Chuan was originally The old Supreme Elder not only regained his youth, but also went a step further and reached the so-called half-step heaven and human realm.

Even if he is a half-step heavenly being.

It is definitely much stronger than ordinary grand masters.

The crisis was lifted almost instantly, so the atmosphere would naturally be a little more relaxed.

"What is the situation in the Immortal Tomb on Land? Why did so many great masters die? I was in retreat when I received the news, so I didn't go into details. Now, can you tell me how they died?"

Bai Sheng asked here.

Undoubtedly, it refers to the great master who died in Tiannv Palace.

The original body lost her mind after receiving the news, and her internal energy rioted until her death. Therefore, she only knew that the three great masters were dead, and the specific circumstances were unclear.

At this time, Grand Palace Master Wu Feiyan immediately said:

"In fact, the crisis that Tiannv Palace is facing now is related to that incident back then, or in other words, the crisis facing the entire martial arts world is related to that incident back then.

Since you don't know about this. Then I will sort it out for you from the beginning. "

"Ten years ago, King Xuanwu of the Dayong Dynasty received the initiation and inheritance of a great master from nowhere. He reached the perfect state of a great master in just one year and led his army to sweep across all directions. In the process, he seemed to have promised many martial arts sects. The good thing is that he has the support of many sects, or at least there is no opposition, let alone any resistance against him.

Maybe the world has been in chaos for a long time.

The reason for the concentration of people's minds is.

Anyway, the final result was that it only took him five years to successfully unify the world, and he also killed the then King Yong and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

But he did not change his country name, it was still Dayong.

Called himself Emperor Xuanwu.

In the early days when he ascended the throne and became emperor, that is, in the past few years, his relationship with the major martial arts sects was still very harmonious, and he even gave tax reductions and even tax-free privileges to some martial arts sects that had provided him with a lot of help.

Of course, these are actually not important.

It's just that you may not be aware that the world outside has been unified, so I need to tell you a little bit. "

"The next thing happened last year. The tomb of the gods on land suddenly appeared. At that time, it was said that Emperor Xuanwu discovered it first and planned to hide it and explore it secretly by himself. However, the news leaked and many great masters from the sects came to visit. May not be shared with others.

And in a fit of anger, he directly told the world.

Allow the world's great masters to explore together.

We actually don’t know exactly what happened in the process, because except for Emperor Xuanwu, all the grand masters who entered the tomb of the land gods were all dead, so we only know that more than 90% of the grand masters from each major sect basically died. They all went, some sects even left in large numbers, and even a lot of their masters went.

There are only those who are in a similar situation to you, such as being short-lived or having almost no possibility of a breakthrough.

Or maybe those who are in retreat have not gone.

It can be said that most of the living and active Grand Masters went there, with very few exceptions. At that time, no one thought there would be any danger. In other words, everyone was more wary of other Grand Masters, fearing that they would be besieged by other Grand Masters if they got something good. , thereby losing the opportunity for breakthrough.

Because before this, everyone generally believed that the battle between the Grand Master and the Grand Master was difficult to distinguish between life and death.

As long as one party really wants to escape, there is a high probability that it can save its life, even if it is besieged by several grand masters, so many grand masters of the sect have no worries. According to current statistics, a total of seventy-nine grand masters were killed at that time, and the entire army was wiped out. However, the previous grand master list listed in the years and years only counted a total of ninety-eight grand masters. So theoretically speaking, There are only nineteen grand masters left in the world now. Even if there may be a few hidden grand masters that have not been counted, it should be difficult to exceed thirty. The number of grand masters has suffered a heavy loss.

The most frightening thing is that most of the remaining great masters are over a hundred years old, and their energy and blood are beginning to fail.

Once you mobilize all your strength to fight.

There is a high probability that you will die after the fight.

Or die during the fight.

In other words, most of the remaining great masters are only capable of fighting for one battle and will be gone if they die. "

"As soon as the relevant news came out, some people speculated whether there was some conspiracy and whether Emperor Xuanwu was responsible. Some sects even wanted to ask Emperor Xuanwu what happened and why he was the only one alive. After that, Emperor Xuanwu directly Prove it with action.

All this is indeed his conspiracy.

He began to mobilize his army and pushed across all major sects.

Moreover, the weapons he exposed all prove that he has been prepared for a long time and has long wanted to destroy the world of martial arts. For example, the God-Destroying Crossbow, when more than a dozen crossbow arrows were fired at once, the Grand Master would also be in a rage. One arrow, in addition to dozens of Nine Heavenly Thunder Fire Bombs, can instantly kill a grandmaster or even seriously injure a grandmaster. In short, the power is quite terrifying.

The major sects of the righteous path suffered heavy losses, and even the sects were destroyed, the inheritance was destroyed, and only a few disciples were left who fled and were missing, or were still being hunted.

The same goes for the Demonic Sect.

The main altar of the Sun Moon Sect was destroyed, more than a dozen branch altars of the White Lotus Sect were destroyed, and the ten elders of the Tiandu Sect were surrounded and killed.

However, this was just Emperor Xuanwu who caught the major sects off guard. After the major sects reacted, they immediately joined forces and massacred Emperor Xuanwu's entire family, including all his wives, concubines, and children, and even assassinated and poisoned them. The methods were endless, and the other generals who participated in the massacre of the sect were all killed.

It is indeed easy for us martial arts people to be wiped out by those armies when we gather together, but when we are spread out, it is not so easy to kill. The most important thing is that he even forced us, the righteous way, and the demon sect to unite, and this was the result.

It’s only natural! "

Speaking of this, Grand Palace Master Wu Feiyan gritted his teeth, but also felt relieved and vented his hatred.

Bai Shengdang interrupted and asked directly:

"Is there any damage to my Heavenly Lady Palace?"

"There are losses. He said that our Tiannv Palace is full of bitches and witches who do not abide by the three obediences and four virtues. He directly sent a large army to wipe out our apparent influence in various places, and even killed all the women we rescued from the priests and brothels. , or taken away or escorted back.

The outer disciples suffered over a thousand casualties.

Seventy-one inner disciples died, fourteen true disciples died, and three elders from the outer disciples also died.

A woman who was rescued before she could be resettled.

The casualties are incalculable!

Because of this, even though our Tiannv Palace is located in a remote area, it is difficult for his army to attack us for a while. We also participated in the martial arts alliance and sent many disciples to assassinate the family members of those who led the army. Of course, we mainly Assassinate those who lead the army.

As for family members, unless there is indeed evil.

Otherwise we will still hold back a little bit.

Although other sects say that we women are benevolent women, one of the tenets of our sect is not to kill innocent people. Those children can't be punished to death, so, alas, at least they have a clear conscience. . "

The positions are different, and sometimes we have to fight to the death.

It is normal for Wu Feiyan to be entangled and embarrassed.
