Syracuse is located in the northern part of Spring Country, separated from the Northland by a sea.

Syracuse is only covered in snow during the winter months, while the Northland is frozen all year round.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that mortals can live in such an extremely cold place.

Nature is fair, and "Cape North Bay" has a well-developed fishing industry, although it does not have vast farms. The water in the bay corner is shallow, and it is embraced by warm currents, and the people of the north can obtain the food and clothing they need for survival only by breeding and animal husbandry.

Of course, the further expansion of the North Bay Point is largely due to the immortals of the far north.

The Extreme North Immortals naturally refer to the Immortals in Guanghan City.

Si Dao stood on the balcony of the Guanghan Palace, and from a high place, the monks in the Guanghan City were as tiny as ants.

He felt that Guanghan City was not as lively as before, and the number of people was not as large as before.

In the past, Guanghan City was a holy place for scattered cultivation in the world. All the world's scattered cultivators gather here.

It can be started five years ago, since the Shangqing Sect won the "Technique and Sword", Xia Yunhua fulfilled his promise and gave the "Paradise Island" to the world for casual cultivation, and most of the world's scattered cultivation went to the Paradise Island.

After all, although Guanghan City is good, it is a city of ice and snow after all, far less warm and comfortable than Elysium Island.

In addition, Elysium Island is a newly born immortal land, and there are endless spirit fields and spirit beasts, and its opportunities are far from being comparable to Guanghan City. Naturally, the younger generation of monks will choose Elysium.

Zhen Youqian also went to Elysium Island, not on Boutique Street.

This is not unexpected. Si Dao naturally thought of this. Zhen Youqian is a witness to Elysium. He is a shrewd businessman, how can he miss the business opportunity of Elysium?

He and He Muluo came here, on the one hand, to find Zhen Youqian, but in fact, to find "Han Lingzhi" and explore further clues.

It's a pity that although they found some "Han Lingzhi", they didn't find enough clues. Under He Muluo's investigation, these "Han Lingzhi" are normal.

However, they also learned that most of the "Han Lingzhi" had left the Northland five years ago. Needless to say, the "Han Lingzhi" should be going to Elysium Island.

In addition, another reason for them to come here is to revisit their hometown.

They spent two years together here. In those two years, Si Dao's life was very boring, repeating similar things every day, with little time to rest, but he was also very happy, just because the person who taught him was Ho Milo.

If it weren't for He Muluo's careful teaching, Si Dao would not have gained such rich combat experience in a very short period of two years.

Si Dao and He Muluo have known each other for more than ten years, and they can be separated and combined, and the time they really spent together is almost those two years.

Since they came to Guanghan City, they would naturally go to Guanghan Palace to meet the two palace masters.

The two palace masters still like them, they are close and gentle, and they are still so affectionate, which is enviable.

It's just that the strange thing is that the breath of the two palace masters is not as stable as before, and there are a few whites between the green silks.

Si Dao knew that the female palace master was from the Hehuan Sect, and she was He Muluo's uncle, and she belonged to the young Yuanying seniors in this world.

However, the two Yuanying Palace Masters seemed to have been caught up by the years all of a sudden, and compared with six years ago, there were obviously some changes. It stands to reason that the Yuanying Monk is the same as heaven and earth, and has a lifespan of 3,600 years, so such a change should not occur in just six years.

Si Dao didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask.

When the two of them were alone, she explained, "Actually, this is an open secret between the monks of Jiedan. After you became a foundation building monk, did you feel that the plundering of heaven and earth had become more serious?"

Si Dao nodded: "However, the faster I absorb spiritual power, the faster." ”

Si Dao didn't think there was anything wrong. The moment his cultivation broke through, under the fusion of his divine consciousness, the absorption speed of spiritual power was greatly increased.

Although the plundering of heaven and earth has also become more intense, with each increase and decrease, Si Dao's cultivation speed is still dozens of times faster than in the past.

It's just that the span of each level in the foundation building stage has also increased by a hundredfold. So, comparatively speaking, the span of each layer has become more difficult.

According to the average time of the acacia, it will take about fifteen years for the monk to upgrade each level of cultivation at the beginning of the foundation building stage. (The average gas refining stage is seven years)

And He Muluo is only a hundred years old, but he is already a senior monk, which is enough to prove his high talent.

"Your Daoist uncle must have said that the higher the cultivation, the more serious the plundering of heaven and earth. You have now felt it completely, too. But have you ever thought about what you should do when your cultivation reaches a certain level, the absorption speed of spiritual power can't keep up with the plundering of heaven and earth?" He Muluo asked seriously.

Her question was something that Si Dao had never thought about.

In Si Dao's current experience and cognition, the higher the cultivation, the stronger it is, and it can naturally resist the plundering of the corresponding heaven and earth. This should be taken for granted. If you can't resist, then your cultivation won't be able to improve, or even regress.

Si Dao thinks so. Most of the monks in the world think so. In fact, for the stage of refining qi, building the foundation, and even the stage of knotting, this kind of cognition is correct.

"However, the path of cultivating immortals is an act against the sky, and it is also an irreversible change. He Muluo shook his head and sighed, "You can now merge your will into your spiritual power, open your divine sense, and gain a new way of perceiving. This opening is irreversible. Even if you lose your cultivation and become a mortal. But one day, when you regain your spiritual power, you will still be able to merge your will into heaven and earth. The path of cultivating immortals is the process of changing life forms. This process is irreversible. This argument is actually not correct, the changes in life forms can be reversed, but the plundering of heaven and earth will not be easily decayed. ”

What He Muluo said was something that Si Dao had not thought about before.

Si Dao always felt that this was a new world with new rules. He thinks he understands that the nature of the world is plunder, but he doesn't understand how the world really works.

Si Dao listened carefully, and He Muluo also continued.

If you become a monk one day, you will know the following words. I know that the Book of Ink once told you that the essence of cultivating immortals is plunder. You should also find that the demons are in turmoil, absorb life, and gain a huge increase in cultivation. If you kill the demon and take away the demon's soul, you can also get a huge increase in cultivation. ”

"So, spirit and life can actually be transformed into each other, right? Immortals have spiritual power, change life forms, and the strength of their souls far exceeds that of mortals, so they have a higher lifespan than mortals. ”

"Yes!"

"Yuanying predecessors are the same as heaven and earth, and while enjoying a long life, they also have to endure more terrible plundering of heaven and earth. If they can't bear this plunder, they're deprived of their vitality?"

"Yes!"

"But why is it so sudden? Is it because they haven't forgotten?"

"That's just one aspect. If you follow what you said, the two uncles and seniors have long since run out of life, and they will turn into butterflies hand in hand. He Muluo did not continue, but looked into the distance.

She shook her head: "I love you, but there are some things, if you cultivate to become a knot, you will naturally understand." ”

Si Dao did not force it. He followed her gaze and watched the "black dots" move on the white earth.

Vaguely, Si Dao felt that the appearance of Elysium Island had caused a decrease in the number of monks in Guanghan City. This must have something to do with the accelerated aging of the two palace masters. After all, this is the only change with the difference.

Since He Muluo didn't want to say it, Si Dao wouldn't ask.

He didn't have the heart to care about any of that for the time being. For the time being, he still has to focus on the investigation of the Spring Rain Pavilion.

"I don't know if Cheng Yang and Ye Mu have gained something now, and is everything the same as I expected?"
