Chapter Eighty-Eight: Survival of the Fittest

"Why?" the young man replied, and the boy was filled with doubts.

"Do you know why the ancestor told us to walk in the mountains as much as possible before we set out?" asked the young man.

The teenagers looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. The young man suddenly remembered the words of the Qiu Xuan Ancestor on the Great Lake, and asked, "Is it to avoid those so-called grandmasters among the barbarians?"

"These so-called grandmasters are only one aspect, although there have been people who have gone out of the various realms to die at the hands of these savages over the years, but these people have not yet been able to make us afraid to avoid them. ”

The young man's name is Xiahou Yue, and like Murong Chong, he is also a child of a family in the Kunlun Domain that has been inherited for thousands of years, but the Xiahou family is not like the Murong family to pass on the family with martial arts, although the inheritance is retained, but the lack of force makes the Xiahou family not have too much say in the Kunlun Domain. This is also the reason why He Wuyong, who is the son of the four elders of the Council of Elders, dares to be loud and loud.

But the Xiahou family has a long history, and the classics in the family are not much worse than the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the sect, so they know a lot about many taboos. Originally, Xia Houyue was not prepared to disclose these taboos to his junior disciples, but now at this time, Xiahou Yue couldn't care about it so much.

"The reason why we act in secrecy is that we can't let the wild people in the outside world notice our existence!"

"Why?" Sure enough, the young men who had always been proud heard the bitter and helpless words of their senior brother, and their hearts were full of shock!

"Are we actually avoiding these ant-like savages? Shouldn't we disdain to be in the company of savages?" This is the voice of several teenagers at this moment, they can hear it clearly, and they can see it clearly, Senior Brother Xiahou's words and helpless look on his face, tell them, this is the reality!

"Senior brother, why is this?" the young man asked quietly.

"Because of the aura!" Xiahou Yue took a deep breath, and after calming down, she tried her best to explain this secret that had existed for thousands of years in a flat tone: "The great change in heaven and earth ten thousand years ago, you must have heard a lot in the sect. But what you don't know is that at that time, all the monks who cultivated to the top or the nobles who were noble were ready to flee long before the great change. After these people left this heaven and earth, the heavens and the earth changed drastically, the aura decreased sharply, and a catastrophe caused heavy casualties to our ancestors. That kind of misery, even after 10,000 years, is still terrifying through the yellowed classics......"

"Later, when the disaster gradually weakened, the remnants of the people began to use the formations abandoned by some powerful and masters to encircle the few remaining spiritual veins between heaven and earth, and also isolated the toxins that were ubiquitous in heaven and earth after the great change. ”

"But as the years passed, the spiritual veins in each domain also began to be attacked by toxins, and gradually shrank, and the spiritual energy in the domain became less and less. In the past 10,000 years, some of the remaining masters of the Void Cultivation and Transformation Period after the original great changes have also been unable to cultivate an inch because of the lack of aura. These people either left this world to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, or coveted the spiritual veins of other realms and fought fiercely, provoking one war after another, just to fight for the few spiritual veins left. ”

"But in the past thousand years, the spiritual veins of each domain have become less and less! With the fall of the last master of the Transformation Stage, the power of each domain has begun to balance, and even if the spiritual veins of other domains are coveted, they are powerless to provoke wars and disputes. At the same time, after the fall of the Ancestor who cultivated to a high level, the consumption of the aura of each domain also decreased, after all, the aura consumed by an Ancestor of the Transformation Stage was more than ten million times that of the Yuan Infant!"

"That's it, there is peace in all domains now! The ancestors agreed with each other to negotiate disputes in various domains, and explicitly forbade the monks of various domains to fight for life and death! But in fact, this fragile peace cannot be maintained for long! Because thousands of years ago, after the fall of the last Cultivation Void Ancestor, there was also a period of such peace among the various domains. Hehe, it's not for any other reason, it's because the Void Cultivation Ancestor died, and the aura is temporarily enough for the Ancestor of the Transformation Period! But when the Spiritual Qi is not enough again, the war still comes, until the last Ancestor of the Transformation Period falls. From this point of view, when we don't have enough aura now, the war will definitely come again, and it will continue until the fall of the last Yuan Infant Ancestor!"

"This ......" The young man obviously heard this kind of secret news that only existed in the secret book of zài, and after hearing it, his face was already pale, and his body trembled.

"Don't let the savages discover our existence, is it because we are worried about ......" At first, the young man seemed to be a little bold, and after hearing such a heavy secret, his brain could still think quickly.

Xia Houyue nodded heavily, smiled bitterly, and said: "It's ridiculous! We, a group of monks who feel superior to others, are not as brave as the savages in the wilderness! At the beginning of the great change, our ancestors only cared about blindly fleeing, blindly avoiding the toxins, but they never thought that the savages in those wild lands were facing the invasion of toxins, although they also died in large numbers, but there were still a small number of people who survived! Later, after thousands of years of adaptation, the bodies of these wild people actually adapted to the toxins that are ubiquitous in the outside world!"

"Hehe, and then the sad thing happened to let our group of cowards who thought themselves superior to others happen! These savages, who had adapted to the toxins of the outside world, began to come out of the mountains and wilderness where they originally lived, and came to the lands where our ancestors once depended, but were abandoned after the great change, and multiplied, and continued to grow! If it weren't for the fact that we were affected by several major wars, the land where we lived was covered by floods and glaciers, and the progress of civilization was blocked, the height of civilization of these savages today would probably be more than what we see now. After all, under our hasty escape, there are still many advanced things left behind that have been inherited by the excellent survivors among the savages! It is just that because of the lack of supporting tools, the achievements of our ancestors' civilization that they have obtained cannot exert corresponding power in their hands. ”

"We monks seem to be superior, but in this world, we are actually more like a group of poor prisoners!

"We dare not let the wild people in the outside world discover their own existence, because once the wild people know the role of the aura, these short-lived wild people will certainly not be able to resist the temptation to survive for a few more years. Although this kind of lifespan has been greatly reduced compared to our ancestors 10,000 years ago, compared with these wild people in the outside world who can only survive for a hundred years, it still has a magic power that they cannot resist!"

"If the savages know about our existence, they will definitely do everything possible to find out our whereabouts, and then use all their strength to rob us of our little aura. Although the Guardian Array of each domain is extraordinary, in the face of these ant-like savages, they still dare not despise it!"

Xia Houyue's soothing tone made the teenagers feel cold down their backs, and the stubborn teenager couldn't help but say, "What are you afraid of?

"Hehe, young man!" Xia Houyue shook her head and smiled bitterly, and said: "How can it be so simple, if you can clear and clean the wild people, how can you let them multiply to such a scale now? At the beginning, there were not many wild people, and no one could notice the power of this group of ants. It was more than 2,000 years ago that the wildlings were brought to the attention of the realms, when the number of wildlings began to grow dramatically, and their weapons were no longer just earth, rock, and grass. But at that time, it was the most critical time when the Second War of the Domains was going on, and the various domains were busy fighting for the spiritual veins, so how could they have time to pay attention to the petty fights of these savages? Indeed, at that time, as long as a Divine Ancestor, or some Primal Infant Ancestor, was a little serious, even if he could not wipe out the savages on this land, he could still severely damage the power of the savages. But how could the ancestors who were busy fighting at that time have time to care about this!"

"After the conquest of the various domains is over and all the ancestors of the Transformation Stage have fallen, they suddenly find that the once weak savages have already mastered extraordinary power! Not only this land, but also on the land on the other side of Kunlun Mountain, there is also a large populous and extraordinary force savage dynasty! As you all know, the strength of an ant is not to be feared, but once a large number of ants are gathered together and there are excellent leaders in charge, the power they can have is no longer simply added! Coupled with the accumulation of civilization, the savages are no longer the savages who competed with beasts for food in the wilderness!"

"On the other hand, since the fall of all the Ancestors of the Transformation Stage, the strength of each domain has dropped sharply, and at the same time, we are in a delicate balance. Nowadays, there is no domain that can rely on its own strength to destroy this group of savages! Also in these years when aura is scarce, every trace of aura is precious and abnormal for all domains, and no one wants to waste precious aura on savages. After all, even if we destroy the savages, we won't be able to get the slightest benefit from them, and the weakened domains will inevitably be eaten away by other domains! No one is stupid, and no one will do thankless work!"

Xia Houyue said a lot, in order to let these young juniors understand and digest these secrets that have lasted for thousands of years little by little, Xia Houyue explained them very patiently.

"But these so-called grandmasters from the outside world still know about our existence!" said the young man with emotion after hearing this.

"Yes!" Xia Houyue nodded, a helpless look appeared again, and said bitterly: "More than a thousand years ago, a group of so-called martial artists began to appear among the savages. Qi practitioners', I don't know where to find the doorway, began to learn our practice, but there is no aura in the outside world, they can only use some extreme ways to assist, although the strength is far from us, but it still allows this group of people to have a lot of strength beyond ordinary savages, evolving for thousands of years, to the present, among them, the strongest people are these grandmasters!"

"Such a prominent storage zài among the savages, it is naturally easy to discover our storage zài, and then the collision and friction gradually begin to ......"

"You may not know that the reason why the various domains will send some people out from time to time during the foundation building period is ostensibly to go out to do errands, but in fact, it is simply the acquiescence of the high-level leaders of each domain, allowing these children who are not strong enough and are not very well treated to walk in this wild land, in order to give these children to the grandmasters of the outside world and let the savages come to kill! He also wants to use this kind of secret fighting to consume the number of grandmasters from the outside world. ”

Now that it has been said, Xiahou Yue has no intention of concealing it, so she simply said it clearly.

"What?" The teenagers had never been exposed to such darkness, and they couldn't imagine that those kind ancestors could be so ruthless!

Looking at the turbulent juniors, Xiahou Yue just wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but saw a junior brother running from the foot of the mountain and shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Xiahou, it's not good! Senior Brother He, they are gone!"
