My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 143 Mortals and Immortals (To be continued in the evening)

"Isn't our world blocked? How could someone get in?" Xu Mo asked in confusion.

The Nine Wonderful Saint Venerable on the other side of the communication talisman replied hesitantly, "The enemy that appeared this time is quite special. I can't tell you the details, but you don't have to worry too much. We will take care of everything. Just focus on your own things."

After Saint Jiu Miao and Xu Mo explained how they needed to cooperate with the sect's investigation, they hurriedly interrupted the communication, seeming to be particularly busy.

Xu Mo was also helpless about this. He didn't expect that his previous bad premonition would actually come true.

However, he had no other way to deal with those things. He could only do his own thing with peace of mind as the Saint Jiu Miao said.

Then, he followed the instructions of the Saint Jiu Miao and found Senior Brother Wang Er and the others, and asked them to gather all the people in Wuyou Peak, including the 3,000 disciples sent by the Cang Gu Dao League to assist and the 30,000 disciples sent by Ling Miao Peak to the Wuyou Peak martial arts field.

After everyone arrived, Xu Mo explained the investigation to them.

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. After all, the Cang Gu Taoist Alliance is conducting a large-scale investigation in the entire Cang Gu world, and the commotion is so loud. If there really are enemies sneaking in, they will definitely notice it.

Moreover, ordinary disciples also need to know these things so that they can pay attention to protecting themselves in their daily lives, instead of hiding them and causing panic when something happens to someone.

After everyone arrived, a purple crystal light suddenly lit up in the air, shining on everyone like a huge mirror.

Then the figure of the Nine Wonderful Saint walked out from the mirror, holding a ball of white spiritual light in his hand. When the ball of white spiritual light appeared, everyone present felt a shock in their hearts. They felt as if they were facing the entire world, and suddenly felt particularly insignificant.

The Nine Wonderful Saints looked at everyone with a serious expression and said, "The one in my hand was transformed from the origin of our ancient world. It can identify people from other worlds."

After saying that, he threw the origin of the world in his hand towards the purple mirror in the void. Then the purple mirror vibrated slightly, emitting tens of thousands of colorful rays of light that fell on everyone.

"Ah!" More than ten screams were heard in the venue at once.

Upon seeing this, the Saint Jiu Miao took action instantly, flicked his sleeves lightly, and more than ten rays of precious light flashed by, directly tying up the dozen or so people who were screaming.

"Someone actually got in?" Xu Mo said with some lingering fear after seeing this scene, and then asked curiously: "Then why haven't they taken action yet?"

Jiu Miao Saint smiled slightly, "They are indeed from outer space, but they are not necessarily in the same group as the current enemy. Moreover, even if they were sent in by the current enemy, they would not necessarily think of taking action without orders from above. Many people are holding the mentality of staying in the ancient world for one more day. Our ancient world is actually quite popular with outer space people."

"Can it be like this?" Xu Mo was a little surprised and confused when he heard this. It seemed that Mu Qiang's mentality was very suitable no matter which world it was placed in.

Then he looked at Jiu Miao Sheng Zun and asked, "Now that these people have been caught, will there be no problems later?"

Upon hearing this, the Jiu Miao Saint's face darkened. He shook his head and sighed, "We still can't let our guard down. In fact, the situation in our Cang Gu World is quite serious right now. There are not only people from outer space lurking here, but also people from this world."

Xu Mo was shocked when he heard this, "From our world? How is this possible?"

In his impression, the ancient world was powerful and harmonious, and ordinary people lived well. How could anyone in such a world be so incomprehensible as to seek refuge with those from outside the universe? Jiu Miao Shengzun explained with a gloomy expression, "Although it's hard to believe, it's true. Even we didn't expect the enemy to start from within us, and judging by the current situation, their actions have been successful."

"Why is this happening?" Xu Mo was very puzzled.

Jiu Miao Saint was silent for a moment, then explained with a complicated expression, "Although our ancient world is harmonious, and the cultivators take good care of mortals, allowing them to live a carefree life, but... we have too few cultivators."

"There are too few people practicing cultivation?" Xu Mo was stunned, frowning as he pondered the meaning of this sentence. Then his face turned pale and he asked hesitantly:
"Senior, are you saying that they used the temptation of spiritual practice and immortality to seduce the mortals of our world?"

Jiu Miao Saint nodded and said, "I told you before that, except for Taicang Continent in the Central Dao Realm, the rest of our Cang Gu World are actually spoils of war from outer space.

Although they have been integrated into our ancient world, they have not yet been completely transformed, which is why there are those special creatures that only know how to kill.

It is also for this reason that we have always intentionally controlled the number of cultivators. Too many practitioners would be a burden to Cang Gu, who is undergoing integration and transformation.

In fact, what we in the Cang Gu Dao League have always wanted to do is to transform the Cang Gu world into a world like the fairyland it once was—where all living beings are immortals.

Now that the ancient world has almost been transformed, we have begun to intentionally expand the number of practitioners, but compared to the vast majority of living beings, it is still pitifully small."

Then his face darkened, "Even if we spread our own ideas, it will take too long for ordinary mortals to realize them.

However, their lifespan is only a few dozen or a few hundred years. Even if a prosperous age in which all beings become immortals were to come true, it would certainly have nothing to do with them."

Xu Mo fell silent after hearing this. Just as the Holy Lord Jiu Miao said, the concept of time of immortals and mortals is different.

For the Cang Gu Taoist Alliance, it is normal to wait until the Cang Gu world is almost integrated and transformed, and then gradually increase the number of practitioners until finally, everyone in the entire Cang Gu world becomes a practitioner.

But for ordinary mortals, they cannot wait. If there is a chance to become a cultivator, who would be willing to miss this opportunity?

Anyway, if it were him, when he first came to this world, if those people lurking from outer space found him and said that they would let him practice as long as he betrayed this world, he felt that he would definitely agree to them without hesitation.

The same is true for the people in the ancient world today. Although life in this world is good and happy, compared with becoming a cultivator, everything is insignificant.

After all, practicing cultivation can lead to immortality.

Then he looked at the Nine Wonderful Saints and asked, "So, their actions against our spiritual rice, polluting it and preventing us from researching technology to increase its production, were also motivated by this?"
