From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 476 The Biggest Secret
"The fight between the two sects is actually the monks from another world coming to Blue Star to fight for fortune and luck."

"This era of spiritual prosperity is even more magnificent than that of the Qin Dynasty, with many major renovations. The reason why no records can be found in later generations is precisely because of this reason!"

Li Yang was so shocked that he felt as if something was blocking his chest and his throat was extremely dry.

After a long while, Li Yang raised his head and looked at Zhang Ling, and spoke with difficulty:
"So, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jiang Ziya, and other gods are all great cultivators from another world?"

"The other world is the world of Chanjiao?"

Zhang Ling shook his head: "I have said before that many of the fairy stories you are familiar with now actually did not exist in history. They are artistic creations of later generations, just like many of the legends about me."

"Yuanshi Tianzun, Jiang Ziya, these people may or may not exist, but the most likely possibility is that those great cultivators concealed their names, and later generations did not know them, so they took the names of 'Yuanshi Tianzun' and 'Jiang Ziya' to replace them. Or later generations did not know the details and named them after the titles they thought were righteous and powerful."

Zhang Ling put down his teacup and said, "This battle did happen, but that world was not the Chan Sect, nor did it have those Chan Sect gods and immortals that you remember. They called themselves the 'Extreme Realm'."

"The Ultimate Realm?!"

Li Yang frowned. This was the first time he knew the name of that world. The relevant information in the soul of "Chongdao Immortal Lord" had been destroyed by himself long ago.

Zhang Ling nodded: "So my friend from the future, now, do you know the truth about the revival of spiritual energy?"

Li Yang pondered for a long time, then slowly raised his head: "Is it...luck?"

"I don't know much about the Yanhuang period, but according to you, the extinction of the spiritual energy in the Shang Dynasty was because the luck of the emperor fell apart, and the emperor was demoted to the emperor... How magnificent was the unification of the six kingdoms? And the reason why the spiritual energy revived during the Qin Dynasty when Zulong unified the six kingdoms, I think it should also be because of luck."

"As for the complete extinction of spiritual energy during the Ming Dynasty... it should be related to the Qing Dynasty's invasion of the country, which caused the national population to drop sharply from about 1.6 million in the late Ming Dynasty to more than 9000 million in the early Qing Dynasty, and the luck of the people fell into a slump again."

"what!"

Zhang Ling was suddenly startled, and the teacup in his hand was crushed into powder unconsciously. Xiao Xinjie next to him came over with a bitter face to pick up the broken pieces of the teacup.

Li Yang was surprised to see Zhang Ling lose his composure and asked, "What's wrong, Senior Zhang? Did I guess wrong?"

"No, no, no, you guessed right..."

Zhang Ling had been back to Blue Star for less than two years and had not had time to study the entire history of China in detail.

Li Yang nodded: "Yes, there is historical evidence."

Zhang Ling stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, with murderous intent on his face.
"No wonder, no wonder!"

“No wonder the spiritual energy in the Extreme Realm suddenly surged four hundred years ago, giving rise to many talented young people with outstanding talents. It turns out that this is the cause and effect!”

"Damn it, when we were being chased and fled into the restricted area, a few immortals must have sneaked in through the boundary gate to add fuel to the fire!"

Li Yang heard Zhang Ling's mumbling and his expression changed: "Master Zhang, what you mean is..."

Zhang Ling stopped and said, "Your inference is correct. Although we old guys in the Extreme Realm don't understand it either, the people in the Extreme Realm probably don't understand it either. But based on historical experience, the revival of spiritual energy is indeed related to the destiny of the world."

"To be more precise, it is the destiny of humanity!"

"When the human destiny is prosperous, the spiritual energy is revealed. When the human destiny is declining, the spiritual energy is hidden! And there is a relationship of increase and decrease between Blue Star and the Extreme True Realm."

Zhang Ling sat back at the table and looked at Li Yang. "So, there is another secret here! Human luck can be stolen! Spiritual energy can also be stolen!!"

"For example, the conflict between Shang and Zhou that I just told you about, when the spiritual energy of Blue Star was extinguished, have you ever thought about this? Logically speaking, since the spiritual energy of Blue Star was about to be extinguished during the Shang Dynasty, the spiritual energy of the Jizhen Realm should have just been revived. Why did their masters defeat the monks of Blue Star?"

Li Yang was stunned when he heard this.

Yes, according to the saying that when one side is destroyed, the other side will revive, since the spiritual energy of the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, then the Jizhen Realm should be the same as the current Blue Star, where the spiritual energy has just been revived.

When the spiritual energy is extinguished, there will definitely be a group of monster masters gathered, but when the spiritual energy has just revived, there will only be a few big cats and small cats.

It's just like now, on the Blue Star where the spiritual energy has just revived, Li Yang, a single immortal, leads a few Taoists to the Jizhen Realm to pick out a group of earth immortals and masters above the earth immortals. This is unrealistic!

Zhang Ling, with his green eyes and prominent forehead, spoke each word with emphasis:
"Because according to normal development, the spiritual energy would not have been extinguished during the Shang Dynasty!" "It took two thousand years from the Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty! But it took less than nine hundred years from the Yanhuang period to the Shang Dynasty. At that time, both worlds were in the golden age of spiritual energy! It was the Jizhen Realm that suddenly rose up and helped the Zhou Dynasty to defeat the Shang Dynasty, scattered the luck of the human race on Blue Star, and directly caused the spiritual energy of Blue Star to be extinguished during its most golden period!"

Li Yang was confused after hearing this.

"This, this is not right. In this case, Qin Chao did not suffer from the Extreme Realm when his spiritual energy revived..."

"How do you know not?"

"I……"

At this point, Li Yang was suddenly stunned.

Yeah, really not?

In history, the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms and had great fortune, but it perished in the second generation.

Zhang Ling glanced at Li Yang and said, "But don't think too much, my friend. When the Qin Dynasty fell, it was the local forces of Blue Star that narrowly won. Although the King of Chu, Xiang Yu, was deceived and almost divided the vassal states to disperse the destiny of the human race, it was forcibly unified by Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. That's why there was a 2,000-year spiritual energy that lasted until the Ming Dynasty."

"So, this is why I told you not to have any illusions about the relationship between the two worlds."

"The masters of the Extreme Realm will definitely do their best to invade Blue Star, destroy Blue Star's luck, and prevent Blue Star's spiritual energy from reviving, so that the spiritual energy there can continue to be at its peak."

Li Yang was stunned when he heard this, and raised his head after a long time:
“How many masters are there in that world?

After coming back to his senses from his loss of composure, Zhang Ling regained his composure and took a sip of tea, his eyes wandering towards the night view outside the palace:

"There are no less than a hundred active Earth Immortal masters."

Zhang Ling stated this despairing fact in a calm tone.

"One hundred?! What about those above the Earthly Immortals?"

"...You don't have to worry about this. At this stage, the only people who can cross over are Earth Immortals. If people at that level cross over, the risk is too great."

Li Yang understood the hidden meaning behind Zhang Ling's words. Above the earthly immortals, there are, and there are many, more than one.

"It's such a despairing fact that it makes it impossible to resist."

Li Yang made a self-deprecating remark with a bitter voice, and looked at Zhang Ling again: "So is it really possible for our Blue Star to win?"

Zhang Ling nodded: "Of course, didn't they win during the Qin Dynasty?"

"But didn't the Qin Dynasty also fall because of this second emperor?"

“No, no, no.” Zhang Ling shook his head: “This era is not the Qin Dynasty, and you are not a Qin person. My friend in the future, your existence alone is something that did not exist during the Qin Dynasty.”

"Moreover, the current fortune of the human race is not the same as when Zulong unified the six kingdoms..."

Zhang Ling suddenly stood up with his hands behind his back and slowly walked out of the hall.
Li Yang was puzzled and followed Zhang Ling out of the hall.

The Sihan Tianshi Mansion is located on the mountainside. From Li Yang's perspective at this moment, thousands of houses below the mountain are brightly lit, like the starlight of the Milky Way pouring down and flowing into the world.

With the lights of thousands of houses reflected in his eyes, Zhang Ling said calmly: "My friends in the future, you must know that no matter in which period of history, it is absolutely impossible to feed all the people."

Lu Xinjie, who was about seven or eight years old, followed behind him and scratched his head in confusion when he heard Zhang Ling's words:
"Grandpa, eating a full meal? Isn't this a normal thing?"

Zhang Ling shook his head: "In the past, the shortage of granaries was a chronic disease in the Nine Provinces for thousands of years. It was a ruthless natural disaster and also the result of poor governance..."

"The luck of the human race today is even more powerful than in the past thousands of years! It is infinitely more magnificent than the Ancestral Dragon period!"

After saying that, Zhang Ling turned around and looked at Li Yang steadily, his eyes slowly showing a hint of tenderness:
"This is a prosperous era for the human race that has not happened in thousands of years. My friend from the future, you have emerged from the calamity and made rapid progress with your cultivation speed that exceeds common sense. Although the road ahead is difficult and hopeless, as long as you keep going, there is still hope..."
