Chapter 193: The boundless world, terrible conjecture!

[“Congratulations, fellow Taoist, great things are in store for you!”]

【Seeing that you have successfully broken through, Jingxin Daoist was immediately shocked and congratulated you. 】

[As you adapt to the various sublimations of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you nod slightly in your heart: Very good, you didn't take the opportunity to attack, it seems that you really want to join us...]

[This breakthrough made him protect the Dao, which was actually a test of him by you. 】

[After all, he is a cannibalistic guy. Although he said he is willing to atone for his sins with his life, who knows if he is sincere? ]

[So you use this as a test. If he has ill intentions, then use the power of the wild to blow the world upside down and kill this difficult immortal in seconds. Then go back to the time when you first met him and kill him at all costs. Never give him a chance to join your gang!]

[You have always been avenged and decisive in killing. ]

[But he didn't move, and watched you break through to the Celestial Immortal... In this way, you finally truly trusted him. ]

[Jingxin Taoist had no idea that he had walked through the gates of hell...]

【…】

[After achieving celestial immortality, you once again joined him in slaughtering monks from various countries.]

[If a celestial immortal and a true immortal lowered their status and took the initiative to slaughter cultivators below the immortal level, it would be almost catastrophic! ]

[A country was completely razed within half a day, the monks were destroyed, and the court was replaced. You are very efficient as you practice. ]

[Five hundred years later…]

[As you slaughtered one country after another, killed countless monks, and changed countless dynasties... you gradually became confused: Where is the end of the slaughter? ]

[In your childhood imagination, you will rectify the primitive world, slaughter all the monks in the world, destroy the primitive immortals, and even invade the immortal world! ]

[But the world in your eyes is constantly "getting bigger": When you were a child, your knowledge came from the mountain villages, and you thought that the primitive world was at most a few hundred or a few thousand villages in size.]

[When you become an immortal and travel across the country, you realize how naive you are: a single prefecture is as big as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of villages, and there are hundreds of prefectures in the country!]

[So you have a preliminary idea of ​​the size of Honghuang: Honghuang should be hundreds or thousands of times the size of your own country, right? ]

[But now, more than five hundred years have passed, and the number of countries you have swept through has long exceeded one thousand, or even hundreds of thousands! ]

[There are hundreds of thousands of countries here, but you still haven't seen the border of the wilderness. There are only endless slaughters of righteous and evil monks, and endless replacements of corrupt officials! ]

[Your ambitions and aspirations have been worn away by this seemingly endless slaughter...]

【Finally one day, you can't stand it anymore! 】

[“Fellow Daoist Jingxin, how big is the prehistoric world?”]

[Faced with your confused question, Jingxin Taoist is also confused: I don’t know…]

[Following you and killing people all the way, his worldview has been greatly impacted. Even though his lineage has a long history, he still doesn't know how big the prehistoric world is. As he walks along, he becomes more and more confused.]

[But he is a professional after all. Although he doesn't know how big the prehistoric world is, he has a way to estimate it. ]

[He measured the coordinates of the stars in the sky, calculated the distance he had traveled, and summarized the changes in the stars in various places. Finally, he began to calculate...]

【Snapped! 】

【Jingxin Taoist suddenly sat down on the ground helplessly and said to you bitterly.】

[“Fellow Daoist…let alone the Great Desolation, we haven’t even left the Western Desolation…”]

[“The area we have traveled through in the past five hundred years is less than one trillionth of the area in the Western Wasteland…”]

【you:……】

[You were stunned at that moment, and your entire spirit seemed to have been drained away! ]

[You have no idea what this data means, because you are only over 500 years old, not like those old people whose age is calculated in Yuanhui, so your knowledge is too short-sighted...]

[But even those old guys wouldn't be able to see such a vast world, right? ]

[To be honest, facing such exaggerated data, you feel horrified from the bottom of your heart, as if you were a mortal facing an endless ocean, feeling lonely, weak, and ready to capsize at any time...]

[The vastness of the world is far beyond your imagination! ]

[At this moment, I recall the mythological stories I heard in my childhood: Emperor Jin Tian and Emperor Di Jiang fought in the East Wasteland, and the flames of war spread all over the East Wasteland... The Sun Star Lord ceded Zhongzhou to the Wu Clan... Emperor Jin Tian was re-enfeoffed by the Dragon Clan and seized the East China Sea... The million-strong army of the Equal Heaven Court besieged the Thirty-Three Heavens...]

[You can't help but question these ancient myths: Given that the wild world is so vast, how did those people manage to spread the flames of war all over the wild world at once? ]

[You are now a celestial being, only one step away from becoming a profound immortal. If even you have to run so hard and even desperately, then the army back then must have run their legs off...] [The more you think about it, the more strange it seems to you, but you don't dwell on this minor issue. You just say to Taoist Jingxin seriously, "Daoyou, I think we may have underestimated the prehistoric world..."]

【Jingxin Taoist deeply agrees: Indeed, if you keep running like this, no matter how many ambitions you have, they will all be wiped out! 】

[This is a trap! ]

【So after careful consideration, he proposed his own countermeasures. 】

[“I think we should go directly to the Immortal Realm and explore the situation there. If possible, we can establish a force in the Immortal Realm, use the infinite spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm to cultivate countless True Immortals, and then assign them to various places in the prehistoric world to carry out the mission of destroying the law. How about that?”]

[After years of experience, the Taoist Jingxin, who was originally unwilling to ascend to the immortal world, had long since let it go. When he realized that the two of them were falling into a bottomless pit, he decisively chose to give up this stupid method of doing it himself and decided to change to a better and more efficient method! ]

[It just so happens that the Immortal Realm is a place with infinite spiritual energy. You can become bigger and stronger in the Immortal Realm, and then go to the prehistoric world to eliminate the immortal cultivators who have gone astray...]

[But you frowned when you heard this: "Do you really think that the fairyland is a good place in your dreams?"]

【Jingxin Taoist was stunned: Isn’t it?】

[Everyone in the world of immortal cultivation knows that the legend says that the immortal world has infinite spiritual energy and abundant resources, and the immortals live there peacefully and freely, which is completely different from the prehistoric world that has fallen into the Dharma Ending Age...]

[You shook your head and said in a deep voice: If you think about it carefully, it's not right. The spiritual energy in all parts of the prehistoric world is exhausted, and cultivating immortals can only rely on eating humans. How can the immortal world not be affected by the Dharma Ending Age? ]

[You then asked: Furthermore, if the spiritual energy in the fairy world is endless, then why don’t the compassionate fairies bring the spiritual energy from the fairy world to the human world? ]

[Jingxin Taoist thought about it, but he still didn’t want to believe your guess: “Not all immortals are kind and compassionate. There were many bad immortals in ancient times, such as the Sun Star Lord…”]

[“Perhaps they are just cruel, so they are unwilling to share spiritual energy with Honghuang?”]

【Cruel? 】

[You curled your lips: No matter how cruel you are, you should be cruel to outsiders. You can't be cruel to your own paradise, right? ]

[“The ancestors who have become immortals should have sent enough spiritual energy to their own caves to ensure that the younger generations can practice without hindrance, instead of allowing them to continue to eat humans to become immortals!”]

[You said seriously: However, we have traveled to so many countries and destroyed so many blessed places, but we have never seen a place that does not eat people. This means that our ancestors have never been back.]

[Even though you have destroyed so many sects, no immortal ancestors have come to seek revenge on you. Is this reasonable? ]

[“Fellow Daoist Jingxin, you are well-informed, but have you ever seen or heard of an immortal from the immortal world returning?”]

[Your question completely stupefied him, and the more he thought about it, the more he started sweating: It seems, it seems, probably, maybe... I've never heard of an immortal descending to earth...]

[All the rumors about the immortal world in the mortal world are essentially made up by the mortal monks themselves to express their yearning for a better world. No immortal has ever been able to confirm these rumors! ]

[“Then why didn’t the immortal come back? Don’t you want to?”]

[You continue to reason: It can't be that you can enter the Thirty-Three Heavens but not leave, right? ]

[“Furthermore, even if it allows entry but not exit, wouldn’t the population increase greatly due to the countless immortals pouring in over the past few epochs? With so many immortals cultivating in it, will the immortal world really not be short of spiritual energy?”]

[“Spiritual energy can only be created out of nothing by saints. Now the Six Saints and Daozu have disappeared. Could it be that they are sitting in the fairyland to create spiritual energy? Since they can create spiritual energy out of nothing in the fairyland, why can’t they continue the immortal way in the prehistoric world?”]

[Your reasonings made him think more and more that they made sense, and he couldn't help but question the Immortal Realm: Daoist friend, what do you think the current situation of the Immortal Realm is like?]

[You thought about it and said seriously: "Why not assume the worst case scenario!"]

[“If everything is a scam, the fairy world does not have unlimited resources, but foreign fairies are constantly pouring in, then the resources of the fairy world must be in short supply, and it may even enter the Dharma Ending Age like the prehistoric world.”]

[“In the Dharma Ending Age, the ancient cultivators choose to eat mortals to cultivate immortality, so the high-level immortals in the immortal world will naturally eat them…”]

【ah? ! 】

【Thinking of this terrifying possibility, Jingxin Taoist was stunned and trembling all over: Although he wanted to deny this outrageous guess, his reason told him that this was the most likely result. A high-level immortal would eat... a low-level immortal!】

[“Besides, fellow Daoist, don’t you think the beautiful legend of the fairyland sounds familiar?”]

[You said faintly: The legend among the cultivators is that the immortal world has infinite spiritual energy and unlimited resources, the immortals live forever and everything is beautiful... Isn't this exactly the same as the rhetoric used by the righteous cave heaven to deceive mortals...]

【Jingxin Daoist felt a chill in his heart! 】

[Then he began to feel fortunate that he did not choose to go to the Immortal Realm, otherwise he would have become a meal for the high-level immortals.]

[“According to the worst-case scenario, the path to immortality has now become a triangular ladder, with mortals at the bottom, cultivators in the middle, and immortals at the top.”]

[“A cultivator eats mortals to become an immortal. After going to the immortal world, he is eaten by an even higher level immortal… This is most likely a trap!”]
