You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 417 Prayer Language
This massacre came suddenly, but it was also within many people's expectations.

Because everyone knows that Qi Ping's Star Sea Nine Domains has swept away all obstacles at the top, and the trend of unification is unstoppable. The remaining aristocratic families have basically no choice but to join.

In fact, many aristocratic families who are insightful about the times have chosen to put aside all pride, clean themselves up, and join the Nine Realms of the Star Sea.

These sensible aristocratic families truly lived up to their reputation as inherited families. They quickly formulated a suitable development plan based on the current situation in the Nine Realms of the Star Sea, and even took the initiative to abandon the stubborn faction within their families, even at the cost of giving up most of their interests.

Because they saw better development opportunities in the Nine Realms of the Stars!
They possess higher qualifications, mutual support, and more complete cultivation knowledge and systems, far surpassing ordinary rogue cultivators in overall quality and vision. Many of the rising prodigies in the Nine Star Seas today come from this force. With their strong foundation, they rise much faster than ordinary rogue cultivators.

Qi Ping did not take any specific action against this. As long as a relative stability could be maintained and the potential of the Nine Domains of the Star Sea could be stimulated, he would not stop them. Whether they were rogue cultivators or aristocratic families, they were all forces he could rely on, and he was also capable of judging whether these people were loyal or dangerous.

However, compared to these clever aristocratic families, many more aristocratic families were in a much more decadent state.

After the tide that originally belonged to the Star Sea Continent receded, these aristocratic families, lacking the ability and courage to innovate themselves, were completely plunged into a dilemma. They simply did not have the ability to adapt to the new era, and were even less adaptable than the rogue cultivators.

It becomes immediately clear who is swimming naked.

Many of their aristocratic families are even trying to negotiate with Starsea Academy, hoping to gain similar privileges after entering the Nine Realms of Starsea.

Qi Ping naturally refused without hesitation; he would never allow himself to ruin the fair mechanism he had painstakingly built up for this guy.

These aristocratic families have absolutely no sense of self-awareness; they're just used to being superior.

Want special privileges? You're dreaming!
But this was Qi Ping's idea; many independent cultivators and small families below did not think so.

They had spent almost their entire childhood in the shadow and fear of powerful families, and had become accustomed to the status these families held, so they felt it was normal to grant these families certain privileges.

But this massacre made them realize the true nature of the person above them.

"Dead! All dead!"

"Murong, Shangguan, Huangfu, the Chen family of Yinshan, and the Lin family of Jinghu—all dead! Their entire families were utterly slaughtered by the Qing Shen Army, leaving not a single one alive!"

"The killing is not over yet. I heard that none of those wicked families will escape this time!"

When this news spread throughout the Nine Realms of the Star Sea, almost everyone was shocked.

The shock of seeing those once-powerful families, who had been a constant source of oppression, being slaughtered as a whole was overwhelming. It was hard to believe that such a family could be so easily wiped out.

If it were just one or a few powerful families, it would be fine, since Qi Ping killed even more top experts recently. But this time, it wasn't just a few hundred families that were wiped out, but hundreds or even thousands!
Nearly half of the Golden Core and Nascent Soul level cultivators across the entire Star Sea Continent died, or even more!
It should be noted that the core and backbone of the Star Sea Continent today are the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. The Foundation Establishment stage was originally included, but since the establishment of the Nine Domains of the Star Sea, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators has increased dramatically to far exceed the previous number. Although many Foundation Establishment cultivators died this time, there are still more than in the Star Sea Continent before the conflict broke out.

The sudden death of so many Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators would cause rapid damage and decline to the entire world, no matter where it is.

Because once a large number of living beings die, the spirituality they possess will rapidly dissipate in a short period of time, and the dissipation of spirituality will inevitably lead to the depletion of the world and its spiritual veins.
The Star Sea Continent is no exception.

The blood mist that permeates the sky above the entire Star Sea Continent and the blood rain that is gradually falling are the anomalies brought about by the mass loss of living beings. If not handled properly, they may even bring about unpredictable disasters.

Faced with this situation, Qi Ping couldn't help but frown.

Although he had anticipated this situation, when it actually happened, feeling the pain and lamentation in the world still made him very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Qi Ping had made some contingency plans for this situation.

Therefore, the original body immediately stopped cultivating and began to pray to heaven and earth in a special "language". This language of prayer to heaven and earth was passed down from ancient times and is said to come from a special race. This race can obtain the blessings of heaven and earth and possess various special extraordinary powers by praying to heaven and earth.

When Qi Ping first saw this power, he felt that it was somewhat similar to the power of druids, so he studied it in particular, especially the use of this prayer language by cultivators.

The conditions for using this power are extremely demanding. Only a very few people can obtain this power in this way. There are no longer any cultivators with this power on the Star Sea Continent. However, after trying it, Qi Ping found that his identity as an Earth Immortal Druid was unusually compatible with this power of "prayer". So he also learned this prayer language and power.

However, due to the significant lack of transmission, Qi Ping did not master many prayer languages.

However, it's sufficient for this purpose.

As Qi Ping performed his prayer, his consciousness began to intersect with a mysterious power. This power was not a fixed consciousness, but it was indeed communicable. This was the state of heaven and earth seen through the prayer.

After completing the connection of consciousness, Qi Ping immediately began to express thoughts of rebirth, blessing, and growth, and began to pray about the situation in the Nine Realms of the Star Sea and the continuous breakthroughs in the present, hoping to receive "its" blessing.

After Qi Ping completed this series of actions, it actually worked; the blood mist and blood rain in the sky began to slowly dissipate.
"Just as predicted, this kind of prayer is quite effective!"

"It's a pity that so much of this prayer language is missing; otherwise, this system might be a power comparable to that of cultivators!"

Qi Ping rubbed his slightly dizzy head and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To achieve this level of communication with the world itself, especially to have the world bless the Nine Realms of the Star Sea, was extremely taxing on him; even his consciousness was struggling to withstand it.

"However, the power of this prayer language is indeed extraordinary; it can exert all sorts of incredible power by communicating with heaven and earth."

Most importantly, this kind of communication transcends social boundaries. Even an ordinary person, as long as their consciousness and "mental strength" are strong enough, can obtain and wield extraordinary power through prayer.

This kind of "mental power" is related to consciousness. It seems that only people who are in harmony with heaven and earth can awaken this kind of mental power. The strength of this mental power also seems to be related to the interaction with heaven and earth. It's a pity that Qi Ping doesn't have a complete cultivation method. Otherwise, this could also become his trump card, unlike now where it can only be used in special circumstances.

However, Qi Ping also placed great hope in this power, because the ability to wield the power of immortals or druids without regard to cultivation level was enough to give him hope of turning the tide.

This power even carries a connotation of words becoming law.

Regarding the language of prayer, there is a particularly interesting statement:
As long as the willpower endures, life will never cease!

Even if the physical body and soul perish, as long as the mental energy remains, it can be restored, and life will not end.

"But if it were truly that powerful, how could this inherited power have been destroyed? It's practically unheard of on the entire Star Sea Continent."

"Could it be true, as some have speculated, that all other lineages and cultivation paths besides the path to immortality have been wiped out?"

In Qi Ping's view, it was absurd that only the Immortal Path existed in a world with extraordinary power, unless the world would actively suppress all other powers besides the Immortal Path.

However, this did not happen. The power of prayer was not suppressed, nor did it meet the needs of heaven and earth. The emergence of different systems would only make the great way and spirituality of heaven and earth stronger, and there was no reason to stop such a thing.

"It seems there's an even bigger secret hidden behind the cultivation system of this immortal cultivation world."

"Immortality is not easy to achieve. Everything must be done with caution and prudence, otherwise, one wrong step could lead to someone else's benefit."

After Qi Ping resolved the strange phenomena of blood mist and blood rain through prayer, the oppressive and terrifying atmosphere finally dissipated, replaced by auspicious clouds that enveloped the Nine Realms of the Star Sea.

At the same time, figures rushed towards Qi Ping through the teleportation array, delivering storage rings filled with corpses to his hands.
