The Age Of Doom: I Can Deduce Countless Ages Of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 98: Speculation on the Latter Days

Every cultivation practice has its foundation; Divine Ability is merely an embellishment.

Being strong oneself is the fundamental defense against all calamities.

Xu Xucheng sensed the formation of the primordial essence array within his body, and various thoughts arose in his mind.

The Tai Xu Realm can save souls, but what about the living?

Xu Xucheng looked at the distant city and the scattered corpses rushing towards him, sighing deeply.

...

Eastern Wilderness.

"I didn't expect that you all would be descendants of the Heavenly Demons."

Huang Yuanping, in a mountain range near the Xuan Zhen Palace, couldn't help but exclaim.

He had thought that the strange aura on the Heavenly Demon crowd was just demonic cultivation, but he didn't expect them to be Heavenly Demons.

Indeed, there were many things in the Qingxiao Sect that he didn't know.

"The Heavenly Demons are in the past now. We have lost our Heavenly Demon bodies and become human. What does it matter if we are still called Heavenly Demons?"

The Three-Eyed Heavenly Demon smiled bitterly.

With the passage of time, he had gradually accepted his current identity.

Having lost the unique Divine Ability of the Heavenly Demons, he could only stay in Yuanzhou under Zhang Qingyuan's command.

"Hmph, since we're here, let's prepare to capture the Xuan Zhen Palace cultivators!"

Huang Yuanping also noticed the similarities between the Heavenly Demons' current bodies and his own. Cultivators could never predict what would happen the next day.

The Three-Eyed Heavenly Demon nodded in agreement.

Before their conversation could continue, a black mist rose from the ground!

A figure condensed into human form from the black mist on the ground.

The newcomer was a Heavenly Demon sent by Huang Yuanping.

He knew the location of the Xuan Zhen Palace, but the cultivators of the Xuan Zhen Palace were still familiar with his aura.

To avoid alerting the enemy, he sent the Heavenly Demon to scout ahead.

Huang Yuanping's cultivation had fallen to the Soul Formation stage, but he was not worried about facing Mu Yuchuan and the others.

Since Zhang Qingyuan had sent him, he naturally had no doubts about his ability to win.

Furthermore, there was the Divine Ability that Zhang Qingyuan had displayed last time, which allowed him to possess a body from millions of miles away.

Huang Yuanping was certain that the Tai Wei True Immortal had the strength to descend upon his physical body.

With Zhang Qingyuan's current strength, the Xuan Zhen Palace was nothing at all!

"How is the situation?"

Huang Yuanping took two steps forward and asked the scouting Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon shook his head in response. "They've vanished."

"What? They moved so quickly."

Huang Yuanping was astonished by the news, and immediately transformed into a yellow light, heading towards the direction of the Xuan Zhen Palace.

The other Heavenly Demons followed closely behind.

When they arrived, all Huang Yuanping saw was an empty palace.

There was no one in the palace.

Huang Yuanping's gaze swept over the spiritual treasures left behind, and his heart sank.

From the scattered treasures, he could guess that Mu Yuchuan and the others had left in a hurry.

He then walked towards the building where the cultivation techniques were stored.

In order to establish the Xuan Zhen Palace and attract more high-level cultivators to join, Chen Zunyan had contributed many scriptures. As the sect master, Huang Yuanping didn't care about these techniques, but many powerful cultivators were swayed by them.

After reaching the place where the books were stored, Huang Yuanping saw that the jade slips placed there were undisturbed.

A look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

How is this possible?

They actually didn't take any of the cultivation techniques from the Xuan Zhen Palace.

Why is that?

Huang Yuanping stood still, unable to figure it out.

Why did they abandon the palace and leave behind these techniques without any loss?

Why were they in such a hurry?

"These techniques should be enough to fulfill the task, right?"

The Three-Eyed Demon looked at the shelves filled with books and said.

Huang Yuanping pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "You take the techniques back for examination. I will explore the Xuanzhen Palace and see if I can find any clues."

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, the demon immediately agreed and began using the Divine Ability to collect the jade slips in the Xuanzhen Palace.

Huang Yuanping looked at the shelves shrouded in black energy, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He didn't stay in the scripture pavilion but wandered around the Xuanzhen Palace.

In the end, he returned to the pavilion where he usually discussed Dao.

As Huang Yuanping entered the pavilion and looked at the place where he died, his expression became complicated.

Wang Jingyan's sudden rise far exceeded his expectations.

"Hmm?"

Huang Yuanping glanced at the ground and was attracted by a slightly glowing piece of jade.

He looked closely at the jade, and the dim patterns on it made him feel a sense of familiarity.

"Isn't this my treasure, the Jade Void Scenic Xuan Book?"

Huang Yuanping's brows furrowed instantly, and various thoughts arose in his mind as he looked at the fragments on the ground.

Could it be that someone has used the Law of Cause and Effect?

This idea appeared in Huang Yuanping's mind!

Once this thought arose, it was already unstoppable.

Although Chen Zunyan was dead, his techniques might not have been left without an inheritor.

Mu Yuchuan and the others were all talented cultivators. If they were forced into a corner, it was not impossible for them to learn Chen Zunyan's techniques.

If that was the case, what exactly did they deduce?

Huang Yuanping's brows furrowed tightly as he looked at the fragments on the ground, lost in thought.

...

At the Qingxiao Sect.

"The alchemy technique is flawless. Any mistakes are due to the spiritual energy. Condensing pills with spiritual energy is a major taboo in cultivation."

Fu Yucheng looked at the spiritual herbs growing under the spiritual energy and the withering spiritual herbs under the essence energy.

No matter how one cultivates, the spiritual energy of the world belongs to the heavens and the earth.

What the cultivators before the Yuanzhou era did was simply to collect and refine the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, and finally take it away through Ascension.

But essence energy belongs to oneself. All living beings have a common characteristic in their bodies!

Rejection!

This concept is engraved in their bloodlines and even affects their thoughts.

The degree of rejection by spiritual energy is extremely low. As long as the divine consciousness is wiped out, it can be absorbed like spiritual herbs.

But essence energy is different. It inherently rejects other living beings.

Even if a demonic cultivator refines a human pill, they have to worry about consuming too much and affecting the purity of their cultivation.

The withering spiritual herbs in front of him also proved another idea of Fu Yucheng.

The spiritual energy can be transformed into poison, perhaps also influenced by a certain cultivator!

The nature of the spiritual energy in the late era is the same as that of essence energy!

Fu Yucheng looked at the withering spiritual herbs in silence.

Zhang Qingyuan was right. There are problems with the cultivation system in Yuanzhou.

Even Yuanzhou itself has problems.

The transformation of spiritual energy into poison is not accidental. Everything is caused by the influence of others.

"How powerful of a cultivator can achieve such a level?"

"A True Immortal?"

Fu Yucheng murmured, his eyes filled with deep confusion.

"Senior Fu Yucheng, have you discovered anything?"

Mu Qingxi looked at Fu Yucheng nervously and asked.

Fu Yucheng raised his eyes and said solemnly, "I may have guessed the cause of the late era. I wonder if I can meet the Taiwei True Immortal for a discussion."

"What?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Mu Qingxi's eyes, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "I'll give it a try!"
