Wu Heyun is a monk stationed in the mortal realm of the Northern Night Snow Ming Pavilion, and he has cultivated to the Jindan stage, and he is already more than four hundred years old, close to the limit of longevity.

Wu Heyun's qualifications are ordinary, and being able to be promoted to the Jindan stage is already his limit, since two hundred years ago, after taking the pill to promote the Jindan stage, his cultivation is stuck in the early stage of the Jindan, without the slightest inch.

Therefore, a hundred years ago, Wu Heyun chose to apply to join the Northern Night Snow Ming Pavilion and become a resident monk in the mortal world.

This is also a path for casual cultivation to join the Northern Night Official, after becoming a resident monk in the mortal world, Wu Heyun married a wife and had children in the mortal world, and established a small family, thirty years ago, his grandson was tested to have a single attribute spiritual root qualification, and was allowed to join the Northern Night Black Xuan Army.

Now that he has been stationed in the mortal realm for the one hundred and third year, Wu Heyun is already very satisfied, and his only hope is that when his longevity is reached, his family can produce one or two more qualified clansmen.

There are nine counties in the mortal world in the North Night, and there are also nine garrison envoys similar to him, all of whom are cultivated in the Jindan period, and their experiences are similar, all of them are hopeless in their cultivation, and they all choose to join the North Night, in order to obtain the official status of the North Night, and pave the way for their own clansmen.

Wu Heyun has four patrol envoys under him, and he usually doesn't need to do anything, and his subordinates will deal with it on behalf of the patrol envoys of the innate realm, and Wu Heyun's favorite thing to do now is to drink tea in the family, occasionally instruct the younger generations to practice, or find some outstanding-looking women in the mortal world, take them as concubines, and expand the scale of the family.

Wu Heyun's cultivation, although in the Northern Night Immortal Realm, belongs to an inconspicuous existence, but in the mortal world, it is an absolute big man, and the Jindan Realm just corresponds to the highest realm that a martial artist in the mortal world can cultivate, the Innate Great Grandmaster Realm, not to mention that the Northern Night Jianghu has not produced a new Innate Great Grandmaster for nearly a thousand years, even if it appears, Wu Heyun can also be easily suppressed, because although the Innate Great Grandmaster realm can theoretically rival the Jindan Period, it is only theoretically, in actual combat, mortal martial artists have a single means, It's not an opponent of immortal cultivators at all.

Wu Heyun had breakfast in the morning under the service of the concubine in the ninth room, and began to check the reports of some affairs within the scope of his seat compiled by Xueming Pavilion.

The concubine of the ninth room was born in a mortal martial arts family, and Wu Heyun was idle for a while, and when he went out to hang out, he happened to see it and came back from the captivity.

When the concubine was checking the documents in Wu Heyun, she stood behind him obediently and gently massaged his shoulders.

Wu Heyun opened the file while enjoying the massage of the concubine.

The first thing is the matter in the Northern Night Martial Arts, it is rumored that the owner of the Famous Sword Villa got a piece of extraterrestrial meteoric iron, or will build the tenth divine sword, for this matter, Wu Heyun just looked, the so-called divine sword in the mortal world, at best, is a mortal-level magic weapon, in the eyes of mortals, it is already extremely powerful, but for immortal cultivators, there is no difference from broken copper and iron.

The second thing was that the Heavenly Fang County Righteous Qi Alliance in the Northern Night attacked the Heavenly Fang County Snow Ming Pavilion and was killed and dispersed by the Xue Ming Pavilion's garrison, and the Righteous Qi Alliance, one of the three righteous path forces in the Heavenly Fang County, was forced to disband. Wu Heyun had an impression of this incident, the cause was that the son of the envoy stationed in Tianfang County robbed the fiancée of the young master of the Zhengqi Alliance, and when the other party resisted, he killed the young master of the Zhengqi Alliance and his fiancée, and the envoy of Tianfang County favored his son, causing the dissatisfaction of the Zhengqi Alliance, so he made the matter of besieging the Xueming Pavilion of Tianfang County.

Wu Heyun looked at the document and sneered disdainfully, he and the garrison envoy of Tianfang County are also old acquaintances, and there are even some contradictions between the two sides.

The son of the Tianfang County garrison envoy, he also heard a little, he has no immortal cultivation qualifications, and he is lustful, he is a loser, but the Tianfang County garrison envoy is old and has a son, so he is quite fond of him, Wu Heyun can even predict that when the pavilion master of the North Night Snow Ming Pavilion is assessed at the end of the year, the Tianfang County garrison envoy will definitely be held accountable by the pavilion master.

As for the dissatisfaction of the mortal realm martial arts, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and besides, it was a matter of Tianfang County, what did he have to do with Beiye County.

Continuing to check the document, the content on the third document caught his attention, there was a suspected loose cultivator who had not been reported to the official to enter Kitano County, and the four major inspectors under him came out together, wanting to find this monk and find out his purpose of entering the mortal realm.

Although the Northern Night does not prohibit the monks from entering the mortal realm, they need to report to the Northern Night official in advance, but when the four patrol envoys find the loose cultivator, they find that he has died, and the cause of his death may be caused by fighting with mortal warriors.

This document aroused Wu Heyun's interest, you must know that even the weakest Qi Refining Stage cultivators, even if they can't defeat high-level martial artists, can often escape with various spells. The mortal world rarely appears, there is a mortal martial artist killing the immortal cultivator, although the four major inspectors under their command have a faint understanding of the immortal cultivation world, but they are not completely clear, the strength of the immortal cultivator, they themselves are just innate martial artists.

Wu Heyun took a pen and wrote an order on a piece of paper, asking the four inspectors to track down the cause of the death of the loose cultivator, find the martial artist who killed the loose cultivator, and escort him to him.

Rolling up the paper, Wu Heyun came to the window, a black feather eagle landed by the window, put the paper scroll with his order written on it, and put it into the bamboo tube hanging on the eagle's feet, and then the black feather eagle took off into the air, flew into the distance, and disappeared into the sky.

Three days later, the results of the investigation were beyond Wu Heyun's expectations, and the casual cultivator turned out to be a monk in the foundation building period, who should be an evil cultivator who had come to the mortal world to look for 'materials'.

It's just that I don't know why, not for a few days after coming to the mortal realm, Xiu Wei actually began to regress, and was finally killed by a mortal martial artist.

Wu Heyun paced back and forth in his room, faintly, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, feeling that something big was about to happen.

In the days that followed, the wind was calm, the mortal world remained as calm as usual, and there were no new anomalous reports from his subordinates.

Wu Heyun was a little relieved at this time, every morning was his time to cultivate, it was not that the mortal world could not cultivate, but the aura was thin, but it did not mean that there was no aura.

Wu Heyun was in his room, there was an underground secret room, which was arranged with a spirit gathering formation, with the spirit stone as the core to gather nearby spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy gathered in a day was enough for him to cultivate for an hour.

This kind of cultivation speed is definitely a drop in the bucket for a monk who is in the ascending stage, but for Wu Heyun, just maintaining the current realm is enough to use.

Wu Heyun came to the underground secret room, sat in the spirit gathering array, and the magic trick was pinched, and the spirit gathering magic array released the gathered spiritual energy continuously.

At the beginning, Wu Heyun didn't feel abnormal, but the time for this cultivation was very short, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the Spirit Gathering Array stopped supplying spiritual energy.

Wu Heyun opened his eyes suspiciously.

'What's going on...... Is it the spirit stone of the Spirit Gathering Array that needs to be replaced? ’

He began to inspect the spirit stones of the magic circle, but the energy supply spirit stones in the nodes of the magic circle were still full of spiritual power.

Wu Heyun was even more puzzled in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it, but checked the pattern of the magic circle and decided to wait until tomorrow to observe the situation.

Leaving the underground secret room, Wu Heyun began to practice his own set of exercises every day, which was a set of sword techniques that he exchanged through the official channels of the Northern Night, which was much better than the exercises he had when he was a casual cultivator.

Most of the Northern Night Exercises are cold attributes, and when Wu Heyun practiced the sword technique, the courtyard was full of cold, and with him as the center, patches of frost began to gradually cover the surroundings.

'Whew! ’

As Wu Heyun slashed out with his last sword, a cold ray accurately hit a rock on the ground, instantly condensing an ice crystal on the rock.

It's just that Wu Heyun's brows are furrowed.

'How can the power be so small?' ’

He looked at the rock, in the same place, there were dense knife marks, which were the result of his daily practice of knife techniques, only this time his knife qi did not leave a knife mark on the rock, just a piece of ice crystal.

Wu Heyun was so thoughtful that he didn't even pay attention to the greetings from the concubine he had always loved, and came directly to the study, where he took out a communication spirit talisman from a secret place in the study.

He had been in the mortal realm for too long, and he hadn't used this thing for a long time, but he felt that this time the matter might not be simple, and it had to be reported.

He simply edited what happened, as well as his own experiences and doubts, and sent it to the Pavilion Master of the Xueming Pavilion in the Northern Night Mortal Realm, that is, his direct boss, through the transmission spirit rune.

It was a long time before he received a reply from the Pavilion Master of Xueming Pavilion.

"Don't mention it to the public, it's business as usual, I'll investigate."

The other party's reply was very simple, but Wu Heyun breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what happened, anyway, there were people above who went back to deal with it, as long as he reported it truthfully, it had nothing to do with him.

However, after that, a secret message began to spread gradually in the upper layer of the North Night......

"Thousand-Year Spiritual Power Tide ......"

The eldest princess closed the information in her hand, Xiumei wrinkled, after retaking control of the Northern Night Cold Moon Army, her own power has been completely restricted, and she no longer has the previous edge, and even after putting on the palace clothes, there is still a feeling of beauty.

In front of him, Yan Ming, the chief general of the Cold Moon Army and the former commander of the guards of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, said: "The Royal Elder Council has confirmed many times that it is indeed a once-in-a-millennium spiritual power tide, and it is already arranging a quota to enter the outer regions. ”

Ye Rongqiu stood up, under the swaying of her red skirt, a pair of snow-white long legs moved, and when she came to the window, she looked up at the moonlight, not knowing what she was thinking.

Ye Rongqiu didn't say a word, as if she was admiring the moonlight, Yan Ming just stood aside, as the head of the guards of the eldest princess's mansion, she had already adapted to the habits of the eldest princess, and knew that the eldest princess was just thinking about the problem now.

For this Tianjiao of the royal family, Yan Ming respects her heart, even if she is now joining the Cold Moon Army, nominally belonging to the army of the Northern Night Royal Family, but in her heart, the only thing worthy of her allegiance is the eldest princess Ye Rongqiu.

After a long time, the night wind blew, and a maid stepped forward to light a new incense, and Ye Rongqiu turned around.

She looked at Yan Ming and ordered: "I don't care how those old guys above discuss, you go and tell them on my behalf, I want two thousand places, if they don't agree, I will tell them personally!" ”

"Yes!"

Yan Ming lowered her head and said, she was just about to turn around and leave, only to hear Ye Rongqiu suddenly say, "That's right!" That Chen family, notify them and give them five places. ”

Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, then she returned the military salute, turned around and strode away.

Three days later, Chen Chao received an unfamiliar summons.

He was very curious, not many people knew about Chen Jiangxue's communication rune positioning, except for a few outsiders, and even within the Chen family, few people knew the Chen family's ancestor communication spirit rune positioning, let alone an unfamiliar communication spirit rune positioning.

Chen Chao's divine sense entered the spirit rune, and it turned out to be from the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Yan Ming, the self-proclaimed commander of the guards of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, informed Chen Chao that the world of cultivating immortals was about to usher in a drastic change, and within ten years, the aura of the world of cultivating immortals would decline at a gradually obvious rate, and then all the monks would face the crisis of regression in cultivation, and only by hiding in the outer regions could they avoid this crisis.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion is willing to provide five places to the Chen family, and the Chen Dynasty needs to screen out the candidates for the Chen family to enter the outer regions as soon as possible.

After reading the content of the spirit rune, Chen Chao felt a chill in his heart, the Chen family had just entered the right track, and they had encountered this kind of crisis that affected the entire immortal cultivation world......

However, the number of places provided by the Eldest Princess's Mansion is too small, and there are so many people in the Chen family, how can they give up if they say they will give up.

He first went to the Scripture Pavilion to look for records about the decline of spiritual energy, and soon found relevant ancient records.

The decline of aura has occurred many times in the world of cultivating immortals, and some monks have studied that this is a natural phenomenon, and named it the aura tide, once every thousand years, once every thousand years, and then once every thousand years, and then once every thousand years, this node, according to Yan Ming, is at the node of a thousand years of aura decline.

It is recorded in ancient books that when the spiritual energy decline began, first the low-level monks could not advance their cultivation, then the cultivation declined, and then slowly began to affect the high-level monks.

The human race that remains in the world of cultivating immortals can only rely on their own cultivation and the assistance of the magic circle to fight against the decline of spiritual energy, this process will generally last from a hundred years to a thousand years, and countless monks who cannot enter the outer regions will fall silently.

After reading the description of the ancient books, Chen Chao couldn't calm down for a long time, he sent a message to Qing Xuan, as the descendant of Beixiao Han Ji Dao, Qing Xuan must also be a person who knows the inside story.

Soon Qing Xuan also replied, confirming that the decline of aura would definitely occur, and at the same time, Qing Xuan also said that the Beixiao Cold Pole Dao was willing to provide the Chen family with three places, on the condition that the Chen family became a subsidiary family of the Beixiao Cold Pole Dao, and made a demon oath.

The corners of Chen Chao's mouth twitched, but Chen Chao was not dissatisfied because of this, this is very realistic, his relationship with Qingxuan is not enough for Beixiao Hanji Dao to take special care, and Beixiao Hanji Dao, as the number one sect in Beiye, must also need the most places, so the conditions for obtaining places are harsh, which is understandable.

But through Qingxuan's communication, you can see that the eldest princess Ye Rongqiu took care of the Chen family, which made the Chen Dynasty have a better impression of the eldest princess, but whether it is Beixiao Hanji Dao or the places provided by the eldest princess's mansion, they are far from meeting Chen Chao's expectations.

'Since we can get the news in advance, we still have time to prepare, and we must find other ways!' ’

Chen Chao didn't want to see those familiar people in the family, helplessly fell in the decline of aura, the Chen family collection of scriptures has no corresponding way, it does not mean that there is no other way except for the outer realm, the first thing he thought of was the former Sun and Moon Sect outer domain, there are also many ancient books in it, among which there may be a way to deal with the tide of aura.
