Chapter 299: Private Territory

Qin Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he asked Xu Qinghui, "Fellow cultivator, have you experienced an era like this up to now in your cultivation?"

What does the Temple Master mean?

Xu Qinghui asked.

In the Dharma-ending era, cultivation is difficult; many experts actually began cultivating hundreds or even thousands of years ago, only then could they attain such a Jìngjiè. As for evil spirits, needless to say, their cultivation environment is even harsher; in such a Dharma-ending era, they could hardly arise, yet now even evil spirits like the Five Arrogant Spirits have appeared.

Qin Yang fell into thought.

Is the Temple Master saying that this heaven and earth is changing? It's becoming suitable for cultivation again.

Xu Qinghui said.

There is another possibility.

Qin Yang fell into thought.

Xu Qinghui said nothing, just staring at Qin Yang.

Could this be the last brilliance, a fleeting glow of this heaven and earth? Once this period suitable for cultivation passes, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be completely exhausted, and then it will become utterly unsuitable for cultivation.

Qin Yang said.

Xu Qinghui sucked in a breath of cold air.

If that were the case, it would be too terrifying.

Spiritual energy is thin, cultivation is difficult, but that's not a problem; given enough time, there is still a chance to rise.

But if spiritual energy is completely exhausted, even wanting to cultivate would be impossible.

Even they, these Nascent Soul Stage and above experts, would, due to exhausted spiritual energy and lack of supply, eventually be worn to death in this heaven and earth.

The premise is that Qin Yang's speculation is correct.

But at Qin Yang's level of strength, if he weren't sensing something, he definitely wouldn't be talking nonsense.

By saying this, there is a certain possibility that it will happen in the future.

If that's truly the case, this place will become a land of dead silence and completely perish.

Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ, he shivered.

No way, heaven and earth have existed since ancient times, and scientists also say our Lan Xing is still young.

Xu Qinghui said.

Qin Yang felt both amused and exasperated.

Even Sǎnxiān now talks about science?

He waved his hand and said, "Offering Master Xu, don't be nervous; I'm just saying this, it's merely a speculation. With our current strength, trying to predict the future of heaven and earth is basically impossible to be accurate."

Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, Xu Qinghui deeply agreed.

Whether it's him or Qin Yang, in Fanchén Zhong they should be considered quite powerful experts.

But compared to true Immortal Dao experts, they are far inferior.

Trying to predict the future of heaven and earth, even just that of Lan Xing, is nothing but wishful thinking.

Qin Yang's earlier words were also just a speculation.

Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ, Xu Qinghui laughed and said, "That's true; I overthought it."

We should also be leaving; the future will surely bring great changes, no longer as tranquil as before, but this is also an opportunity; perhaps later the barrier between heaven and earth will disappear, giving cultivators a chance to enter the Immortal Realm.

Qin Yang said.

Actually, he isn't particularly obsessed with entering the Immortal Realm.

His cultivation method has no restrictions; he can cultivate just as well in Fanchén Zhong.

But his fellow disciples are different; they need to become Great Vehicle Stage experts, even become immortals.

And his master Baiyun also has an obsession with the Immortal Realm.

The two left and returned to Nan Cheng.

At that moment, Qin Yang's phone vibrated.

He picked it up and saw it was a message from Li Jingyi.

She was asking how Qin Yang was doing, telling him to be careful.

It's already settled, no need to worry.

Qin Yang replied, lacking enthusiasm.

Both sides are ultimately members of the Dragon Pavilion, so it hasn't come to breaking ties.

Moreover, his target was only Jiang Wanrou and her group; Li Jingyi was merely caught in the crossfire.

Seeing Qin Yang reply with a message, Li Jingyi let out a breath.

As long as it's fine, that's good.

She replied with a message, then waited for Qin Yang to reply back.

Jiéguǒ, after waiting ten-odd minutes, Qin Yang also didn't reply.

Li Jingyi knew that their conversation had come to this point.

Li Jingyi sighed.

Jiang Wanrou asked, "How is it?"

Qin Yang is fine; I've already dealt with that thing, rest assured, nothing will happen.

Li Jingyi said.

Qin Wan said somewhat fearfully, "Jingyi, what exactly is that thing tonight? Is it a ghost?"

In her view, only something that can change appearance, apart from immortals, would be a ghost.

It's a kind of evil thing, also counted as a ghost, but more precisely it should be a demon, or rather an evil spirit.

Li Jingyi said.

Evil demon?

What's the difference with demons?

Li Jingyi knew they didn't understand, she explained: 'Demons are beings of other species that have gained spiritual intelligence and begun cultivating the Dao to become immortals; this is what we call a demon. Demons do not necessarily harm people; on the contrary, some demons, in order to cultivate smoothly and become immortals, will even help people. But evil demons are different: this thing is an evil entity; although it is also a demon, it enhances its power by harming people, and is entirely a monster. The Five Rampage God is also recorded in ancient texts; it is formed when some mountain goblins, pigs, snakes, rats, etc., cultivate into spirits and transform, and they like to bring disaster upon girls.'

That's how it is.

Everyone suddenly understood.

No wonder that whatever monster approached them.

That monster actually is that kind of thing.

"Don't worry, Qin Yang has already killed that monster; we probably won't encounter it again—ordinary people don't easily run into evil demons." Li Jingyi comforted them.

Saying this, Li Jingyi gave Qin Xue an approving look and said: 'You're smart to have notified Qin Yang; if Qin Yang hadn't come, we would really have been in danger this time.'

Qin Xue shook her head, glanced at Jiang Wanrou, and then said: 'It was Mom who gave me a look, so I notified Qin Yang.'

Jiang Wanrou said lightly: 'As soon as I saw that thing, I felt it was abnormal, and besides, he looks too much like Qin Yang.'

"This kind of spirit monster is the most skilled; it can capture some thoughts from people's hearts, then, according to those thoughts, transform illusions to attract people and kill them."

Li Jingyi finished speaking and couldn't help but sigh.

The three of them were almost driven mad.

To them, Qin Yang is probably the person they feel most guilty about.

Even Qin Wan might have realized something by now.

As for Li Jingyi, there's no need to say.

Qin Yang is her white moonlight, an unresolved longing.

Just then, Li Jingyi felt a stir in her heart and suddenly sensed that Nan Cheng had undergone some changes.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Wanrou asked.

"I don't know; I just feel that this heaven and earth seem to have changed."

Li Jingyi said.

But she wasn't clear about where exactly the changes were.

Inside Baiyun Guan, Qin Yang used the Jiuzhou Cauldron as the formation's eye, combined with the array his master had set up, and enveloped the entire Nan Cheng.

But the formation has no effect on ordinary people.

However, it will sense the power of supernatural experts; anyone with a cultivation level of Foundation Establishment or higher who wishes to enter Nan Cheng must obtain Qin Yang's permission.

At this point, Qin Yang effectively made Nan Cheng his private domain.

He spent the night refining many tokens and placed them in Baiyun Guan.

These were prepared for outsiders.

As for his own people, Qin Yang used the Jiuzhou Cauldron to remember their auras, so they would not be targeted.

But other cultivators wishing to enter must apply at Baiyun Guan.
