"So, is there still a cultivator on the earth now?" After listening to Lu Yan's explanation, Ye Qiuli couldn't help but suddenly realize that there was also an incomparably brilliant cultivation civilization on the earth, but it had completely declined later. However, he soon put the matter aside and asked a question that he was more concerned about.

As a newcomer who is about to build a foundation and officially enter the cultivation world, he can't help but pay attention to the world he is about to enter, if he is the only cultivator on the earth, then it will be refreshing, turning over the clouds and rain, and traveling at will, it is not his interest to let him go.

Lu Yan is a person with a lot of experience, thousands of years of life have long been unaware of what kind of human spirit he has been sharpened, hearing Ye Qiuli's question, and then seeing Ye Qiuli's expression, he immediately guessed what kind of idea Ye Qiuli had, and laughed softly: "Well, although there used to be a cultivation world on the earth that may have been quite prosperous, but now it has already completely declined, even with the cultivation and divine sense of the Mahayana period of the teacher, there are not many clues found."

On the earth now, in addition to being a teacher, the real cultivators are also you who are about to build a foundation for cultivation. Although there are still many people who have cultivated a little ability through cultivation, but they have not really crossed that threshold, there is nothing to worry about, as long as you pay attention in the future, do not provoke destructive weapons such as nuclear bombs, and there is nothing to worry about life safety. ”

He wasn't worried at all that Ye Qiuli's long time in the secular world would affect his future in cultivation. After a comprehensive investigation, he was still quite sure of Ye Qiuli's temperament, knowing that Ye Qiuli was not the kind of person who could be confused by Hongchen desires, even if he lived in a glamorous secular society for a long time, he would not lose his way forward.

Moreover, after truly cultivating for a long time, experiencing the joy of cultivation, establishing the habit of cultivation, and transforming into the mentality of a cultivator, in an environment like the earth that is completely unsuitable for cultivation, the cultivator will automatically slowly leave the mortal world and take the initiative to embark on the path of seeking the cultivation realm, without worrying about being blinded by the secular world. Ye Qiuli was naturally no exception, unless he could give up his immortal identity that was about to arrive, after all, they still had a stand-in puppet in their hands, as long as they cultivated to the tribulation period, successfully surviving the heavenly tribulation was a matter of nine out of ten.

"There are no real cultivators on the earth anymore? it's really declining?...... That's a pity!" After hearing Lu Yan confirm that only their master and apprentice were true cultivators on the earth today, Ye Qiuli couldn't help but be filled with a wordless regret while being full of surprise. I was surprised that I would be basically invincible to the earth in the future, but unfortunately I heard that a great civilization that once existed on the earth finally came to an end.

In addition to the incomplete exercises, changes in the environment, and the loss of innate spiritual energy, the closed earth cultivation realm also constrained the vision of those cultivators, restricted their realm improvement, and made them involuntarily fall into infighting and become entangled in meaningless disputes over Dao systems. In the end, frequent wars destroy not only the enemy, but also the self. After confirming that the Earth Cultivation Realm had completely declined, Lu Yan was also deeply emotional. As a cultivator, witnessing the destruction of a cultivation civilization with his own eyes really made him have mixed feelings.

"Sure enough, it was infighting that led to the demise, and this kind of thing has happened too many times in history. "Hearing that the Earth Cultivation Realm finally died in the infighting, Ye Qiuli didn't know what to say except for sighing softly. This kind of thing is not the first time in the history of the earth, and every once glorious civilization seems to have been destroyed in endless wars, and no one can be exempted. While war continues to promote the development of civilization, it is also constantly destroying existing civilizations, and no one can distinguish the gains and losses in this.

Sensing Ye Qiuli's heartfelt emotion, Lu Yan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice again: "The ultimate goal of cultivation is to explore the endless universe, understand the essence of the world, and grasp the traces of the 'Dao', so as to realize the eternal immortality of one's soul or body. Cultivation itself is a means to an ultimate end, but it is not the ultimate goal. Cultivators cultivate themselves only to ensure that they have enough time and ability to complete their exploration and complete their pursuit of the 'Dao'. The starry sky is endless, the pace of exploration is endless, true cultivation requires infinite openness and freedom, and behind closed doors, it will never become a great climate!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yan paused slightly, glanced at Ye Qiuli, who was listening carefully, and emphasized earnestly: "When you embark on the path of cultivation in the future, this point must also be kept in mind, fighting is only a means in the cultivation process, the essence of cultivation lies in never-ending exploration, the relationship between the two must not be reversed, the destruction of the earth cultivation world is a lesson!" Cultivation just for the sake of cultivation will eventually lead to nothing famous, and cultivators must be able to control the cultivation process, and not let the cultivation process kidnap themselves!"

"What Master Zun teaches is that war is always a means and not an end, if it is only war for the sake of war, then it is not far from complete destruction!" After hearing Lu Yan repeatedly emphasize that the essence of cultivation is exploration rather than fighting, Ye Qiuli was also embarrassed, the realm of cultivators is indeed very profound, on the other hand, it is obviously not good for human beings on the earth. Throughout the ages, war has been like a lingering nightmare, always hanging over the earth, and at any time it will completely destroy the earth.

"Okay, let's not talk about these unfortunate things, the earth cultivation world has completely declined, and there is no point in talking about it more, just remember its lessons, and continue to talk about the things that came to the earth as a teacher. ...... Well, where did you talk about the teacher just now? I was interrupted by you like this, and I can't remember it for the time being. After feeling that the atmosphere of the conversation between himself and Ye Qiuli was dull because of the destruction of the Earth Cultivation Realm, Lu Yan quickly changed the topic and continued to talk about his arrival on Earth.

Hearing Lu Yan's question, Ye Qiuli immediately replied, "Master Venerable talked about returning to the True Cultivation Realm. ”

"Well, that's all I have to say, so I'll tell you about the rest of the story. Recalling the topic that had just been interrupted, Lu Yan pondered slightly for a moment before continuing: "When Master Wei first arrived on Earth, he was seriously injured and almost lost his life, and the first priority at that time was naturally to find a safe place to treat his injuries, and he had neither the time nor the ability to care about all other affairs, and the situation in the Earth Cultivation Realm was only discovered after Master Weishi's injuries healed.

At that time, Weishi did have plans to return to the cultivation realm, but after Weishi explored the location of the ball clearly, I hesitated a little, because this place was already deep in the middle of the Burial God Abyss, and the distance from the cultivation realm was even farther than Xiaotian Outer Heaven, even if I could find the teleportation arrays scattered on various planets and use the teleportation arrays to transmit back to the cultivation realm, I don't know how many years later. Moreover, this is still a situation where everything is going well, if there is any accident in the middle, the day of returning to the cultivation realm will be even more distant.

In fact, even if I found an intact teleportation array near the earth, it would be impossible for the teacher to return to the Xiuzhen Realm easily, because I didn't have an interstellar coordinate map to reach the Xiuzhen Realm from the Earth at all. Traveling through the vast universe without a clear star map to indicate it is an absolutely catastrophic situation. And casually using the teleportation array to teleport chaotically and disorderly is a very dangerous thing, and if you accidentally teleport to an extreme environment, it will be terrible. Even if the target planet is not in danger, teleporting in the wrong direction and location is a terrible thing.

The vast starry sky of the universe is so huge that once you get lost in it, it is almost impossible to find the right direction. In addition, at that time, the tribulation was imminent, and there was not so much time to personally try it planet by planet, in order to find the teleportation array and interstellar coordinate map that returned to the cultivation realm. The shuttle that the division had originally taken was also destroyed by the space turbulence, and it was impossible to abandon the teleportation array and independently carry out long-distance interstellar movement.

After that, Wei Shi also considered that after all, Wei Shi killed the two Seven Tribulation Scattered Immortals Baicao Sanren and Wei Changfeng through a sneak attack, and had completely offended the two top cultivation factions in the Xiuzhen Realm in the Rejuvenation Valley and Shenhuomen, even if he successfully returned to the Xiuzhen Realm, the trouble after that would not be small, and under the entanglement of cause and effect, it might affect the safety of the Tribulation for the Master, and he wasted all the hard work and opportunities before.

In addition, there is one of the most critical problems in front of the teacher, that is, many people in the small heaven and the sky know that the teacher grabbed the stand-in puppet at the last moment, if the teacher returns to the cultivation realm, those people will definitely swarm up in an instant, and there will be another fierce battle around the stand-in puppet, at that time, the teacher will not be at peace for a moment, and he will be in danger of flying or something, I am afraid that he will turn into a mirror on the spot, and the void will bubble.

There is a saying on your earth that says well, 'The puppet is not guilty, but he is guilty!' The stand-in puppet is so precious, as long as you are a cultivator, you will never be able to let go of the desire to have it, and you must fight to the death before you are willing.

Therefore, after weighing it many times, the teacher also dispelled the idea of returning to the cultivation realm, and decided to cross the tribulation on the earth. After all, the earth is also a living planet, the living environment is okay, and there are no other cultivators on it, so there is no need to worry about someone coming to disturb it, which is also a good choice for the tribulation.

In this way, after hastily investigating the environment of the airspace near the clear ball, he practiced for hundreds of years as a teacher, and finally with the help of the stand-in puppet, he finally succeeded in crossing the catastrophe and safely promoted to the realm of the Mahayana period. ”
