Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 618
"This is the selection requirement set by me and my younger brothers and younger sisters. I also ask my two senior uncles to look at it."

Xu Chunniang felt a little uncomfortable, "Uncle Yue, you still call me like you used to."

"Courtesy cannot be discarded."

Yue Lingzheng refused with a straight face, "As the master of a sect, I must lead by example."

Xu Chunniang couldn't persuade her anymore, so she took the jade slips handed over by Uncle Yue, swept her consciousness, and went through all the procedures.

The selection of new disciples is divided into three stages.

In addition to spiritual root talent, the disciple's heart and understanding will also be tested, which is much stricter than before.

If the heart and understanding are not up to standard, no matter how good the talent is, they may not be accepted.

In order to save resources, the sect has a new regulation, all new qi training monks can only enter the outer sect.

"It is a helpless move to make this arrangement."

Yue Lingzheng explained, "Although there are eight spiritual veins in the door, the root cause of the disappearance of the spiritual energy cannot be solved, and these spiritual veins will eventually become smaller and smaller."

In the case of insufficient spiritual energy, accepting too many new disciples will hinder the development of the sect.

Sheng Qingyun sighed lightly and shook his head, "It's really not as good as one generation after another. Is the end of the Dharma era really coming?"

"maybe."

Yue Ling was shaking his head with a wry smile, as if he suddenly thought of something, he looked at Xu Chunniang.

"Uncle Xu came back from the overseas cultivation world. I don't know if the overseas aura has decreased?"

"During the years I've been overseas, I haven't noticed any changes in my aura."

"It may be that the overseas land is vast and rich, and if you lose some spiritual energy, it won't have much impact for a while."

Xu Chunniang hesitated to speak, but she didn't express her guess.

She felt that it was not that the Dharma-ending era was approaching, but that there were other reasons that caused the aura to change.

"If the two uncles are free, you can come to watch the ceremony in the general election tomorrow. If there are good seedlings you like, you can first accept them as registered disciples."

Sheng Qingyun looked sad, "I'm not in the mood to accept disciples, so I won't join in the fun."

Xu Chunniang also shook her head and said, "I plan to go to the Buddhist scriptures pavilion to check some things, but I have no such plan for the time being."

"Ok."

Being rejected by the two, Yue Lingzheng was not disappointed either.

The time of Nascent Soul cultivator is very precious, so naturally he will not spend too much energy on these trivial matters.

After Yue Lingzheng left, Sheng Qingyun looked at Xu Chunniang.

"You went to Cangshu Pavilion, but you want to find the reason why the spirit energy disappeared?"

"good."

Xu Chunniang nodded, she could clearly feel that compared with more than eighty years ago, the aura between heaven and earth has decreased by about one-tenth.

If this continues, the strength of the cultivation world in the Northwest Continent will become worse and worse.

In the end, even breaking through the Nascent Soul became impossible.

Sheng Qingyun sighed inwardly, "What if I say that this matter has no result?"

"Everything has a cause and an effect. This matter is related to you and me, all fellow disciples, and even the entire cultivation world in the Northwest Continent. How can we just ignore it?"

Seeing the stubbornness in her eyes, Sheng Qingyun knew that she couldn't stop this matter.

"Forget it, you come with me."

Although Xu Chunniang was a little puzzled, she still followed Sheng Qingyun and headed towards an inconspicuous barren mountain.

"During the years when the evil cultivators occupied the Xiaoyao Sect, many hilltops have been murdered by them, but on this Mountain of No Return, even every plant and tree is well preserved."

Sheng Qingyun didn't use the escape technique, but set foot on the ground, and set foot on this barren mountain called the Mountain of No Return.

"Do you know what is so special about this mountain?"

Xu Chunniang swept across the Mountain of No Return quickly with her consciousness, and shook her head in confusion.

There is no spiritual energy on this mountain at all, and there is nothing special about it at all.

Sheng Qingyun smiled slightly, "No wonder you couldn't see it, I didn't take it seriously when I first came here.

But this does not return to the mountain, but it is the place where the Yuanying monks of the Xiaoyaozong dynasties are buried. "

Xu Chunniang was slightly startled, she scanned the Mountain of No Return carefully with her spiritual sense, but she didn't even see a grave or a tombstone.

"Don't look for it, if you really set up graves and tombstones, wouldn't they be hollowed out by those evil cultivators long ago?"

Sheng Qingyun smiled lightly, "Although my generation of monks has practiced to the Nascent Soul stage and has become an ancestor-like existence in the eyes of others, we can't break through to the realm of transforming gods. The thousand-year journey is always in vain."

As she spoke, she walked under a tree, took out a jar of spirit wine and slapped it away, pouring all the spirit wine in the jar.

"The monks who can break through to the stage of transforming gods are all those who have a great opportunity and great luck, and the loss of spiritual energy makes it even more difficult for the cultivators who transform into gods to appear.

At that time, my master consulted countless ancient books, and finally went deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, trying to find the reason for the continuous disappearance of spiritual energy. "

"One hundred thousand mountains?"

Sheng Qingyun recovered and explained.

"When you left the sect, you were only building a foundation, so it's normal not to know this.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains are located in the Western Regions, crossing the Wuliang Mountains and continuing to the west, with your and my footsteps, it will take three to five months to go all out. "

After listening to her tell the mystery of Shiwan Dashan, Xu Chunniang had a guess in her heart.

The answer is probably hidden in the endless mountains of the Western Regions.

"Did your master find the reason back then?"

Sheng Qingyun shook his head, "I don't know, because the master left and never came back.

This tree was planted by myself, and the tomb of the master's clothes is under this tree. "

Sheng Qingyun caressed the thick trunk of the tree, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Back then, there were five Nascent Soul monks who went to the Hundred Thousand Mountains together.

One is to explore and experience, to find all kinds of rare treasures, and the other is to try to see if you can find the reason for the disappearance of the aura. "

Xu Chunniang vaguely guessed the ending.

"Did they... fail?"

Sheng Qingyun nodded, with a look of pain in his eyes.

"Yes, out of the five Nascent Soul cultivators, only one came back alive in the end."

Since then, Shiwan Dashan has become a tacitly taboo place in the cultivation world, and no one dares to set foot in it easily.

Xu Chunniang was silent for a long time, and thanked her.

"Thank you, master, for telling me this, otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to search the ancient books in the Sutra Pavilion alone."

Sheng Qingyun frowned slightly, "After hearing so much, do you still want to go?"

"Master thinks, which one is more dangerous, the Hundred Thousand Mountains or the Dead Sea?"

"It's very dangerous, even if you successfully cross the Dead Sea, you may not be able to get out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Senior Nascent Soul, who was lucky enough to escape with his life, once said that there was something very ominous in the mountains. "

"But master, I want to find the reason for the disappearance of the spiritual energy, and it's also for myself."

Xu Chunniang said frankly, "With the current strength of spiritual energy in the sect, it takes three to 50 years of hard work to improve one level of cultivation."

"You are still young, and you have plenty of time to practice. It is better to take a slower pace than to take risks."

Sheng Qingyun still didn't agree with her idea. Anyway, Nascent Soul monks have a thousand years of lifespan. Even if they practice hard for hundreds of years, as long as they can break through to the late Nascent Soul, it will be very good.

"But has Master ever thought about it, perhaps after hundreds of years, the spiritual energy will disappear completely?"
