I played the world alone

Chapter 378: Where did Ascension go? ([-]-in-[-])

Everything went very smoothly.

After Lu Chen finished speaking, Bai Yangping immediately looked ecstatic, fearing that he would regret it, and immediately began to kowtow and kneel down.

Although Lu Chen said no need, since he was not really recruiting a disciple after all, he still persisted.

"Although Senior is unwilling to accept me as a disciple, I will definitely respect Senior as a true master!"

Not to mention that he had saved his life. If he didn't thank him properly, he might not be able to sleep well for a long time.

After thanking him properly, the roars of evil beasts suddenly came from the distance, which sounded very angry.

Bai Yangping was startled and immediately said: "Senior, I forgot to mention just now that that evil beast has many accomplices. They should have noticed the death of this evil beast by now!"

"They are very powerful... Although they may not be worth mentioning to you, senior, there are many of them. If you face them head-on, it may be a bit troublesome..."

He realized that he also had a big supporter and relaxed a little.

Lu Chen also glanced in that direction.

His sensing ability is limited by this world and cannot cover too far. However, judging from the opponent's voice and the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy, although the strength of the remaining evil beasts may be slightly stronger, they are also limited.

At most, it's only at the level of the foundation building period.

Although there are indeed a lot of them, for him to solve them is basically just a snap of his fingers, but for Bai Yangping, it may be a disaster.

"If this place is so dangerous, why do you want to take risks here alone?" Lu Chen asked.

Bai Yangping was startled, then looked sad: "Actually, I didn't come alone."

"After all, I'm too weak. If I were to go alone, it would be no different than seeking death. So we usually find a suitable team before leaving the city. We travel in a team of about five or six people."

It’s not safe if there are too few people, and it’s difficult to divide the loot if there are too many people. Five is probably a more appropriate number.

"We also came out together this time, but what we didn't expect was that we accidentally encountered this wave of evil beasts..."

"Two people died in the sneak attack at the beginning. The remaining people were in a panic and could only agree to split up and run away. I'm afraid they are in danger now..."

He sighed.

After all, they were all acquaintances who had gone on several missions together. Losing them all at once made my heart inevitably sad and fearful that I had just passed away.

Maybe if my luck is even slightly worse, I will die in the hands of evil beasts like them...

At this moment, several piercing sounds were heard in the distant sky.

Lu Chen felt something in his heart and looked up, just in time to see a few rays of light passing through the sky at extremely fast speeds.

"That's from the patrol!"

Bai Yangping immediately said in surprise: "They must have noticed the strange movements of the evil beasts here and came here to deal with them!"

"Sure enough, my guess was correct. This change was too sudden. Our team is acting according to the previous rules. This wave of evil beasts should not appear this time."

"It seems that something went wrong."

"Senior, as long as we follow the patrol later, we can go back safely!"

Bai Yangping was a little excited.

Lu Chen felt it roughly.

The strongest members of those patrol teams are probably only at the peak of Foundation Establishment, which should be enough to deal with these evil beasts.

But until he figured out the situation in this world, he didn't want to formally meet with these powerful people, so he shook his head.

"Avoid them and go back directly."

"Ah?" Bai Yangping was a little confused, but he still agreed honestly.

The next step was to deliberately walk in the opposite direction of the patrol.

While walking towards the city, Bai Yangping explained the changes in the world to this old man who had been sleeping for a thousand years.

"It was about 20 years ago, when I was only about three years old."

"I just remember that the sky suddenly turned dark, and then suddenly a lot of strange evil beasts fell from the sky. Some looked like the mantis just now, and there were also various animals and even plants..."

"And the creatures killed by evil beasts will also be contaminated and transformed into new evil beasts in a short period of time..."

Lu Chen listened carefully and felt that this description was somewhat similar to the previous zombies, but the intensity was much higher. Perhaps it was because this was a world of immortality.

"What about those powerful people?" Lu Chen asked, "They shouldn't turn a blind eye to this situation."

"The strong ones... are all dead." Bai Yangping whispered.

"died?!"

From the other party's narration, Lu Chen learned about the situation that year.

The strongest person in this world in the past was at the peak of his Nascent Soul stage.

When someone reaches the critical point, they will go through the thunder tribulation and prepare to ascend.

Here Lu Chen asked one more question: "Ascension? Where did they ascend? How did they ascend?"

Bai Yangping scratched his head: "This... I don't know. After all, the last person to ascend was hundreds of years ago."

"The technology at that time was not developed, and there was no complete video and picture data. As for the recording stone using spiritual energy, it would not be able to withstand the pressure and break when it was close to the thunder tribulation."

"Only from some oral accounts and literary records, we roughly know that after the strongest person survives the thunder tribulation safely, a golden staircase will appear in the sky and descend. The person who has overcome the tribulation can leave this world through the ladder."

"As for where they went... none of the ascended ones have returned to this world so far, so we can only guess that they went to the legendary fairyland."

Baiyang Pian expressed his admiration: "The concentration of spiritual energy there is hundreds or thousands of times that here. Even if a person does not need any training, he can continue to improve his cultivation by sitting or sleeping every day, faster than we can practice hard every day. "

"And there are also all kinds of precious treasures and spiritual treasures..."

Lu Chen understood that although no one had actually seen it, it was their ideal world and they had everything they wanted.

But according to what he learned, this is a small world with a small area. There is nothingness outside, and there is even an owner here.

Could it be that he ascended to where the master of the world is?

So this so-called ascension is actually the master selecting suitable subordinates?
But since it is now on the verge of destruction, this path to promotion must no longer exist.

After talking about this side topic, Bai Yangping continued what he had just said.

"After the evil beasts came, all the powerful people, whether in retreat or not, appeared immediately, trying to eliminate them and find out the reason for their appearance."

"For those powerful people, these evil beasts are not very strong, and most of them were quickly wiped out."

"But the scary thing is that none of the strong men who went to investigate the location where the evil beasts appeared came back." When he said this, he sighed sadly: "There are not many strong men above the Nascent Soul stage. Most of them were dead and injured in one fell swoop, and the rest had various abnormalities for no apparent reason and had to start retreating to recuperate."

"Those evil beasts soon made a comeback, and their numbers and intensity were even greater than before. Gradually, there were even evil beasts at the Golden Core stage..."

"They are not afraid of death, and they come one after another. However, our human race has a limited number. With the consumption of casualties, our resistance gradually becomes insufficient."

"The situation is becoming more and more difficult, and some cities have begun to have to evacuate and shrink their defense lines..."

By the way, he also introduced his current situation.

The city where Bai Yangping is currently located is called Fuxian City, and the strength of the city lord is in the middle stage of Golden Core.

Except for the Nascent Soul Ancestor who was in retreat to heal his injuries and there were even many rumors in the market that he had died, this city lord was the most powerful person in the city.

Anyone who is above the foundation building stage can get a good job, and even if they just hunt evil beasts, they can get good rewards.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Bai Yangping, who is only at the fourth level of Qi training.

He is currently living with his sister.

Because of lack of strength, living conditions are very limited.

But my sister, who originally had good cultivation and talent, and had even reached the peak of her Qi training stage and was about to have a bright future, was unfortunately injured by an evil beast during a mission.

Although he was lucky enough to save his life, he was left with serious sequelae, which he still cannot recover from, and he has to take medicine regularly to recuperate.

It makes this little family even worse.

Now it's all up to Bai Yangping to occasionally work for others, draw some simple charms or refine elixirs that can be done during the Qi training period, and occasionally venture out on missions like this to hunt evil beasts or search for treasures.

If you're lucky, you might be able to make a small fortune.

But if you are unlucky, it will probably just be an unknown body in this ruins.

"Although evil beasts are terrifying and evil, as long as their bodies are treated properly, they can be used in some places. For example, they can be used as auxiliary materials for alchemy drawing talismans, and the beast elixir in the body of the foundation-building evil beast is said to even be able to improve The chances of immortal cultivators building a foundation!"

"It sounds similar to a monster?" Lu Chen asked.

"There are no monsters anymore. The monsters in the wild have long been assimilated by the evil beasts, and not a single one is left." Bai Yangping shook his head, "As for the ones raised in the city, they have lost their wild nature and can only be regarded as pet beasts at best. , and it has almost no combat effectiveness and can only be used for viewing."

"My biggest dream now is just to be able to break through the foundation building stage, and then protect my sister so that she doesn't have to worry anymore!"

He encouraged himself.

However, Lu Chen glanced at him and noticed that his spiritual roots were a bit weak. No wonder his cultivation was improving so slowly. It would take years and months to break through to the foundation building stage.

Fortunately, immortal cultivators have a long lifespan. If they are not as unlucky as today, they should be able to persist until that day.

Through this conversation, Lu Chen was certain of one thing.

That is, in this world, there is currently no one on the human race that poses much of a threat to me, so I can rest assured.

The only thing that made him a little afraid was the place where the evil beasts came from.

Let the Nascent Soul stage of this world go away and never return, and I don’t know what is hidden.

Later, Bai Yangping introduced him to some changes in customs and customs in the modern world.

What interested him a little was how the technology developed in this world where immortal cultivators existed openly.

Bai Yangping was not surprised by his curiosity. After all, the last time this old man woke up was in ancient times, so he would naturally be curious about today's technology.

And the way things turned out wasn't too surprising.

Because this world also has spiritual roots and non-spiritual roots, and mortals without spiritual roots naturally have to have a way to make a living.

This is why technology was born.

If it weren't for the invasion of evil beasts 20 years ago, immortal cultivators would still be relatively low-key and would basically not participate in mundane matters.

Mortals also entertain themselves and enjoy a peaceful life for hundreds of years.

Until the evil beast comes, all technological weapons are destroyed like toys in front of it. Some radiation or biochemical weapons will even induce the mutation of the evil beast.

At this time, the immortal cultivators took over the banner of fighting evil beasts and officially took over the power of the world.

"By the way, we also have a special school for cultivating immortals here, which provides formal education. Anyone with spiritual roots can attend it for free."

Lu Chen was a little interested: "If you have the chance, take me to see it. After so many years, I also want to know how the current system of cultivating immortals is."

He silently added in his heart: "By the way, I can make up some extra lessons for myself."

After all, he is just a wild man who relied on the system to reach the Nascent Soul stage. He is in great need of this systematic knowledge.

While the two were talking, the edge of Fuxian City could already be seen in the distance.

Lu Chenfei looked around in mid-air.

The city wall is very high, estimated to be hundreds of meters long, and can be seen from a long distance away.

There are still some imperceptible halos around the city wall. Under the gray sunlight, it looks like a huge light mask covering the city.

This is the so-called city defense formation.

Lu Chen took a look and found that the strength seemed pretty good. It could withstand a full blow from the peak of the golden elixir. It should be enough to deal with most dangers.

With all-round protection, no matter how hard the evil beasts attack, they can't get in.

Bai Yangping also relaxed a little at this time.

Although there is such a powerful and mysterious old senior guarding him, he can only feel at ease when he reaches this familiar place.

When he got here, Lu Chen noticed that some modern facilities had appeared around him.

Such as telephone poles, roads, and even cars.

By chance, they met a caravan that was probably responsible for transportation at the door. Several large trucks rumbled past one after another.

There are also special foundation-building monks flying with swords above who seem to be escorting them.

Lu Chen could clearly feel a weak spiritual consciousness sweeping over this side.

However, due to his deliberate concealment, the other party did not notice his presence at all. As for Bai Yangping, he just brushed it off. It seemed that there was nothing noteworthy in the eyes of the other party.

"Senior, this is how monks in the foundation-building stage make money. They can work as guards for various companies, or accept official employment. The pay is much higher than low-level monks like us who can only take risks on our own, and it is safer. "

When Bai Yangping spoke, he looked at the other person's graceful figure flying with his sword, with some envy in his eyes.
