Chapter 278: Conservation of Energy
From entering the rammed earth city to now sitting in the coffin to digest and absorb the essence of the sun, the time before and after is less than a day.
In anyone's opinion, this may be an element of excesses and impulsiveness. Liu Pan does not deny this, because it is his choice.
For the current Tianfeng Continent, the more Liu Pan learned about it, the more frightened he became.
The more you know, the closer you get to the truth.
This is a world where cultivation resources are about to be exhausted. As an author, Liu Pan is very clear about the setting of his pen.
However, after going through all kinds of things in this world and looking through too many historical books, Liu Pan has long realized that what he has set is only a decaying world in his personal ideal state.
Just like plants that grow in arid desert areas, it is difficult for those who do not know how well their root systems will be.
It is true that Liu Pan is the author of fantasy, but he has never experienced any fantasy world before crossing into this world.
So, even if his premise doesn't seem to be problematic in some ways, if it really wants to be applied to the real fantasy world, it's like a layman knocking out a string of code on a whim, and it's good enough to run it alone.
For this world, unless there are people or gods who do not belong to this world to transform, or history goes back in time, Liu Panzhen can't see much hope.
The depletion of cultivation resources is not difficult for a person who has been in school for several years and knows the law of conservation of energy.
Energy is neither created nor disappeared out of thin air, it simply transforms from one form to another, or from one object to another, while the total amount of energy remains the same. This is one of the universal fundamental laws of nature.
Therefore, the simplest explanation that can be given for the gradual depletion of cultivation resources in this world is:
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Force here is being converted into energy that cannot be used for the cultivation of monks for some unknown reason.
Or, the Heaven and Earth Vitality of this world is leaking out!
Moreover, the possibility of the coexistence of these two situations cannot be ruled out.
The vitality of heaven and earth is decreasing, and this is a conclusion that can be drawn from the analysis and comparison of many ancient historical books.
In fact, it was inevitable that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the cultivation world would gradually decrease. Because after the cultivator reaches the peak, he will shatter the void and leave this world, and it is impossible for his cultivation to turn into the vitality of heaven and earth.
However, it had been a long time since the monk had broken the void and left the ......
This is a decaying world, as the author Liu Pan has known for a long time. Even after discovering that there was something wrong with his physical body, he imagined that he would never be able to leave this world.
All the people he knows will die one by one, but he personally will survive for a long time because of the immortal body of zombies, until his soul is exhausted and can no longer support it.
However, just after entering Xiaoyue Peak and discovering the shell of the demon spirit corpse in the "Holy Coffin" before, Liu Pan was shocked that the reality was far worse than he thought.
Originally, in Liu Pan's consciousness, as long as his soul was immortal, his zombie body could be immortal forever.
However, when he sensed that the corpse of the demon spirit and ghost corpse in the "holy coffin" was only a "shell", all the information about "immortality" in his mind was instantly stimulated.
And this also made him understand that even if his spirit was immortal, his zombie body could not last forever.
There is no eternity in this world!
Liu Pan didn't know if there was really an immortal or immortal existence in other fantasy worlds, but at this moment, he was extremely sure that the world where the Tianfeng Continent was located did not have eternity.
Even, even those Martial God Realm cultivators who broke the void and left this world in history probably did not gain immortality as the legend said.
One cannot step into the same river twice.
As for his physical body, Liu Pan doesn't know exactly what makes him stay at the age of sixteen.
For all these years, he had never noticed any obvious signs of decay and decay in his body (not including the physical state of the soul after it had left the body).
However, it is also because of this that Liu Pan has always misjudged a situation, that is, although his physical age will not increase with the passage of time, it does not mean that all the states of his physical body have been fixed.
His flesh never stopped "growing".
Just because the outside doesn't change doesn't mean the inside hasn't changed.
Now, Liu Pan's body, even if it still looks and forms, to put it bluntly, is no longer the body he just crossed into this world.
Everything will decay over time.
The reason why Liu Pan failed to perceive the decay of his physical body was because the state of physical growth was stronger than the state of decay, or the two were in an equal state.
Because of his cultivation, Liu Pan could maintain the state of his physical body by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth or the essence of the sun and the moon. But for the decay and consumption of the body itself, he is powerless to suppress or suspend it.
At the moment when he found the shell of the demon corpse in the coffin, Liu Pan understood that the body of the zombie was not "ageless".
Today's "immortality" is just that he himself ignores that he has been deliberately balancing the "breathing" of the body subconsciously. Once he realizes and deliberately controls this subconscious behavior, the consequences are ......
The decay of the flesh will gradually intensify over time. When, due to some force majeure reasons, the balance of the physical body's "breathing" cannot be maintained, then it is time for the real decay.
Because he understood these things at that moment, Liu Pan's originally peaceful mood was a little panicked.
This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
But fortunately, Liu Pan will not really do anything impulsive and brainless, he does choose a path after assessing his own strength and possible risks.
Although he was confident, he had to face the siege of several Saint Realm powerhouses at the same time, even if he could really survive, he would definitely pay an extremely painful price.
Therefore, Liu Pan did not "attack".
And, because of the impact of the information that came to mind in an instant, Liu Pan also gave up the plan to explore more peaks before acting, and instead started to act directly.
After negotiating the conditions with the middle-aged man in the Holy Realm and successfully swallowing the gray-white bead condensed from the essence of the sun and the moon, Liu Pan suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little too nervous before.
Sometimes, because of your own subjective reasons, the more you think about something, the more you will get wrong.
It is true that the Earth Saint is one of the eight strongest saints in this Tianfeng Continent, and it is indeed recorded in the ancient historical books that there is a "corpse-raising vein" of the earth family, and even in the rammed earth city, there is really a mysterious and extremely feng shui formation...... However, if you think about it, how is it possible that all dangers exist objectively?
Needless to say, the Earth Saint probably mastered some of the means of "raising corpses" back then, and the danger factor was much higher than any other Saint Realm powerhouse for Liu Pan, who was a zombie.
But the feng shui formation of this Kowloon pilgrimage ...... Either it has been deliberately changed, or it is simply an incomplete feng shui formation. Compared with the two, Liu Pan feels that the latter is more likely.
The reason why I think so is very simple, because there is no saint in the feng shui formation of this Nine Dragons pilgrimage!
In Liu Pan's previous observation, the eight-series six-pointed star-shaped Heaven and Earth Yuan Force converged here and fused into the essence of the sun and the moon, and then the entire Feng Shui Great Array had no follow-up.
It stands to reason that since the pilgrimage to the Nine Dragons is to make a pilgrimage, the natural and fused essence of the sun and the moon should be guided to the "holy" position like the six-pointed star-shaped heaven and earth vitality that gathers together.
But in fact, Liu Pan only felt that the "rich" sun and moon essence was slowly overflowing from the corpse of the demon spirit and ghost corpse, and he did not notice the slightest sign of being guided and pulled.
In the final analysis, Liu Pan was a little disappointed in this. Because he was very curious, if the essence of the sun and moon was guided to flow to the "holy" position, would it also merge together to become another new energy like the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi?
The essence of the sun represents yang, and the essence of the moon represents yin. Yin and Yang are compatible, will this become some kind of supreme power?
However, the current Liu Pan can only think about it, after all, there is no follow-up to this feng shui formation.
............
At this moment, in Liu Pan's body, the gray bead condensed by the essence of the sun and the moon had shrunk by nearly two-thirds.
Liu Pan could feel that the bones in his body were becoming tougher and tougher, and his perception was slowly improving.
For swallowing this bead condensed by the essence of the sun and the moon, Liu Pan had no choice but to do it. He couldn't think of any other good way.
The strengthening of the physical body can be fruitful for ordinary cultivators only by working hard to cultivate. However, for the zombified body, ordinary cultivation can't even achieve the effect of half the effort.
What's more, the current Liu Panxiu is firmly stuck at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, and he can't find a way to cultivate and improve if he wants to.
Liu Pan was eager to absorb the power of the essence of the sun. Because with the strengthening of one's own flesh and bones, that special perception will also be strengthened.
The strength of the original perception was almost divine, and Liu Pan felt that he could see the origin of this world if he went further, so he didn't want to give up this opportunity, and for some reason, he didn't want to wait.
Swallowing the beads condensed by the essence of the sun and the moon, there is no doubt that the flesh and blood in his body will be corroded by the essence of the sun in the beads, and his bones will gradually decay due to the essence of the moon.
But on the other hand, for a short period of time, the Moon Essence can ensure that the flesh and blood in his body can withstand the corrosion of the Sun Essence. The Essence of the Sun was also able to push his bone strength to a new level in a short period of time.
As for the saturation and balance of the Sun and Moon Essence on the body, Liu Pan is not worried.
The main body of the Sun Essence is integrated into the bones, and the spilled parts will be "neutralized" with the Moon Essence on the flesh.
The essence of the sun is a small part of the flesh that is used to repair the flesh and blood that has been corroded by the essence of the sun, and most of them, these blood-colored mist that keeps overflowing from his body at this moment are ......
