Chapter 62: The Millennium
When Shen Yuan had just entered this piece of time and space, he subconsciously thought that this was just an illusion.
But with the communication with the Water God and the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch, and the real witness to the scene of the Xuanhuang Realm 10,000 years ago, Shen Yuan began to realize that this place was not as simple as an ordinary illusion.
As for the power of Yunmeng Dragon Monarch that brought Shen Yuan back to ten thousand years ago, this thought only arose for a moment, and then quickly denied it.
If the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch had crossed 10,000 years of time and space, he would have been able to dominate the Xuanhuang Realm water system and trample the Dragon King of the Four Seas under his feet.
How could it have disappeared for thousands of years, causing the waters of Yunmeng Daze to dry up and turn into the current Dongting Lake?
After ruling out these two options, there were not many answers left, but it really allowed Shen Yuan to determine whether this was Yunmeng Longjun's dream, or Yunmeng Longjun's subsequent performance.
Yunmeng Longjun lightly understood the conspiracy of betrayal by the left and right turtle Cheng, the twelve water gods, and the thirty-six angry generals, and sensed all the crises like a prophet.
Even the appearance of the eldest prince of Jidu was completely under the control of Yunmeng Longjun.
And the most important point is that after the eldest prince of Jidu appeared, he wanted to talk to Yunmeng Longjun, but was interrupted by Yunmeng Longjun.
"I don't need to say more about your nonsense, I've heard it too many times."
Yunmeng Longjun was too familiar with all this, as if... He's been through this countless times.
Combined with the performance of Yunmeng Dragon Monarch, Shen Yuan thought of the legend of Yunmeng Daze mentioned by Gong Gong.
"It is rumored that in ancient times, the waters of Yunmeng Daze were vast, and there were often clouds and mist that turned into fairyland, attracting countless people to Yunmeng Daze to seek fairyland.
But in fact, this swirling cloud and mist was transformed by the dream of the Dragon Monarch when he was asleep, so this place has the name of Yunmeng Daze. ”
And among the many true dragons of the dragon clan, there is just one kind of dragon with such a miraculous ability, and that is the mirage, one of the nine sons of the dragon.
If Yunmeng Longjun is a mirage, and the scene in front of him thousands of years ago is his dream, and what he has experienced is nothing more than everything in Yunmeng Longjun's sleep, then all this can be explained.
Shen Yuan told the truth about this place, and it didn't surprise Yunmeng Dragon Jun.
If Shen Yuan couldn't tell that this place was his dream, he would have doubted Shen Yuan's true identity.
With a wave of the wide sleeve robe, the broken dragon palace under the feet of Shen Yuan and Long Jun turned into a flat boat, and the two of them stood on the flat boat, floating in this land of Ze after the great flood.
The changes in the Broken Dragon Palace did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if it had been modified directly from the essential level of matter, and in an instant, it turned into a flat boat, which was already beyond the scope of ordinary supernatural powers of cultivators.
Only illusory things can do this.
Yunmeng Longjun's move was tantamount to admitting to Shen Yuan the fact of the dream he had said.
The boat drifted through the flood like an ocean, and everything that came into view was a muddy yellow.
In the waters of Osawa, even those peaks and mountains were mostly submerged, revealing only a small piece of land.
The muddy flood was filled with untold garbage and swollen corpses in the aftermath of the catastrophe, and the shape was as miserable as a purgatory on earth.
Under that rain-summoning power, even the gods in the water were lifeless, let alone the humans who were supposed to live on the earth.
Even though he knew that these scenes were nothing more than Yunmeng Dragon Monarch's dreams, Shen Yuan couldn't help but subconsciously frown.
"What does Daozi think, what do I do?" Yunmeng Dragon Monarch's gaze swept over this purgatory-like scene on earth, and asked Shen Yuan.
"Long Jun's move hurts the heavens and the peace."
Shen Yuan's voice was indifferent, and he didn't care about Yunmeng Longjun's face at all.
"It's hurtful, hahaha! There is a hurt heaven and! ”
Yunmeng Longjun laughed, and his laughter was so wanton and arrogant.
The waters that turned into Zeguo once again set off stormy waves, following the mood fluctuations of the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch to show the great power of the Lord of the waters.
Only the place where this Ye Bian boat is located retains the last trace of pure land.
After a long while, Yunmeng Longjun's laughter stopped, and he said to Shen Yuan with a serious expression:
"Ten thousand years ago, I had the same thoughts as you."
Long Jun seemed to have unloaded the burden of Wanjun on his body, and sat in the flat boat casually.
The dark golden robe sat underneath him, and the noble aura revealed from the depths of his soul was incompatible with this humble boat.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan also sat down cross-legged, and a small table and a pot of boiling tea suddenly appeared before the two, and a faint fragrance wafted out of the teapot.
As if a person who had been lonely for a long time had finally found someone to confide in, Long Jun said earnestly to Shen Yuan:
"Ten thousand years ago, the Human Emperor cut off the connection between the Xuanhuang Realm and the Upper Realm.
I don't know why the Human Emperor would make such an extreme decision, but this move has undoubtedly brought unimaginable disasters to the Xuanhuang Realm.
Among the many disasters, the most serious is the problem of depletion of spiritual energy. ”
The words were slight, and the words were full of melancholy.
"The volume of the Xuanhuang Realm is too large, even among the many Nether Realms, it is also the top batch, and a strong magic civilization and powerful cultivators need the supply of spiritual energy.
However, after severing the connection with the upper realm, the Xuanhuang Realm lost a huge source of spiritual energy, and the spiritual veins of the mountains and rivers and the innate spirit pools of the major waters could not supply the entire Xuanhuang Realm at all.
It is foreseeable that one day the aura will be completely depleted, and even the immortals who have lived for a long time will fall in such a catastrophe. ”
The tea on the stove was already boiling, Yunmeng Longjun poured tea for Shen Yuan, and there was a delicate tea leaf floating on the slightly yellowed tea water, just like the leaf boat they were riding.
Yunmeng Longjun tasted the tea and said:
"Daozi came from 10,000 years later, and he personally experienced the depletion of spiritual energy, so he naturally knows what this means better than me."
"Realizing the crisis of the depletion of the spiritual energy, the immortals and gods of the entire Xuanhuang Realm jointly discussed and decided to cut off the spiritual veins of heaven and earth and let the spiritual energy enter the recovery period.
Since then, it has been opened once every thousand years to maintain the balance of the Reiki cycle. ”
"Millennium?" Shen Yuan, who had always maintained a calm attitude, was finally moved.
"Long Jun is really sure that the aura recovery period discussed by those immortal gods is a thousand years?"
Shen Yuan's question made Yunmeng Longjun look stunned.
"This matter is well known, could it be that something happened after 10,000 years?"
Shen Yuan was silent for a long time and said:
"The Human Emperor is peerless, and in the following ten thousand years, the Xuanhuang Realm has experienced three long periods of spiritual energy depletion.
Each time the spiritual energy was depleted for three thousand years, and in this total of ten thousand years, the Xuanhuang Realm had only experienced two centuries-long cultivation worlds.
After 10,000 years, the magic civilization has long since withered, and no one can witness the prosperity of cultivation 10,000 years ago. ”
