Chapter 1561 The decline of cultivation civilization!
Chapter 1561 The decline of cultivation civilization!
There are several Qi-refining monks living here. Three of them are in the early stage of Qi-refining, namely the first, second and third levels of Qi-refining. Then there are two in the middle stage of Qi-refining, and one in the late stage of Qi-refining.
The cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining has achieved the ninth level of Qi Refining, but he is afraid that he will not be able to enter the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime!
These people saw a strange young man walking directly from the foot of the mountain to the top, step by step. At first, they didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there are challengers who come here to climb every year, but basically they stop at four or five thousand meters. It was not until this young man reached a height of more than five thousand meters that they noticed him.
“I didn’t expect that young man would walk halfway up the mountain without any protection!”
The cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining was looking at Zhou Yang halfway up the mountain while wearing a light jacket. You have to know that the temperature here is more than 30 degrees below zero, and at the bottom, the wind is very strong, and the feeling may be even more uncomfortable than at the top of the mountain.
"This is a good martial arts embryo!"
The person who answered was a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining. He was only wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt, but there was a hint of heat from his body, and he seemed to be feeling a little hot.
"Martial Arts Embryo, how many years have we not found a mortal with spiritual roots?"
The cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining asked curiously.
"Since you, it has been thirty years, and no cultivator with spiritual roots has been found. There should be no more!"
The cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining felt a little emotional. Although he knew that things are valuable because they are rare, he still felt sad when he saw that his own kind had disappeared.
"My two junior brothers, it seems that our master has come out of seclusion!"
At this time, a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining appeared. He was a man who was nearly fifty years old. Two slightly younger cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining immediately followed the cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining and left. No one paid attention to Zhou Yang halfway up the mountain.
In a cave on the top of the mountain, an old man with silver hair appeared. The old man is now a hundred years old, and tomorrow is his hundredth birthday.
Although there are mortals who live to be a hundred years old, there are almost no ones with such an upright figure and sharp eyes as this one.
Mortals only live longer, but their quality of life in the later years is not high. Monks are different. Before they die, they are stronger than young men.
"Welcome Master and Senior Brother to come out of retreat!"
The two cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining are his junior brothers and sisters, while the three cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining are his disciples.
"How many years have I been in seclusion?"
The silver-haired old man who was speaking asked, his voice still as powerful as ever, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that his time was up.
"Brother, three years have passed and ten days have passed!"
The person who was speaking was a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he looked to be in his seventies. It was almost impossible for him to reach the late stage of Qi Refining at this age. In other words, when this silver-haired old man died, he would be the cultivator with the highest level of cultivation in this world.
"It's been three years! Time is not a factor in cultivation, but no matter what, I have tried my best!"
The tone of the silver-haired old man revealed regret. He knew that above Qi Refining was Foundation Building, but he had worked hard for nearly half a century to build the foundation and still gained nothing.
He was once called a rare genius by his master. He had reached the ninth level of Qi training before he was fifty years old. What a terrifying speed!
And in the next fifty years, he was still at the ninth level of Qi Refining!
Half a century wasted!
"Brother, today is also a good day. It's your 100th birthday. We have prepared a banquet. We should have a good gathering together!"
Another female cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining said this. She was also in her fifties and had a supreme status in the outside world, but here, it was not surprising.
"Well, let's get together!"
The silver-haired old man did not refuse. After all, his deadline was only in the next two days. This was a very obvious feeling.
Several people came to the dining table. There were many kinds of food here, many of which were precious seafood. This table of food could be exchanged for at least ten houses outside, but here it was just food for a few people.
Before the six people had their meal, they first burned incense to their predecessors in the sect. On the highest ancestral tablet, there was a ring hanging, emitting a faint light. It was a very strange offering.
"Seeing the table full of rare food, the silver-haired old man said: "We eat wind and drink dew, and try our best to restrain our appetite. Now looking back, it seems that we have missed a lot of beautiful things in this world!"
The silver-haired old man took a sip of wine and then started to eat. He seldom ate after he turned twenty, in order to keep his body pure. This process was undoubtedly painful, but the effect was also obvious. With his own talent, he surpassed his master and became a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Refining. He was even only one step away from building a foundation, but he still couldn't cross that threshold.
"Brother, just enjoy your meal today!"
The old man's junior brother said with a smile.
"By the way, Master, today I saw a young man wearing strange but light clothes, who actually walked to the middle of the mountain!"
The cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining mentioned this issue during the dinner.
"There are many people with special physiques in the world, but these people almost have no spiritual roots!"
The man at the sixth level of Qi Refining said.
"Yes, if there are no spiritual roots in this world, wouldn't I be the last cultivator?"
The man at the first level of Qi Refining felt a little helpless.
"The spiritual source of this world is dead. You are probably my last disciple. After I die, you don't have to confine yourselves to this Baidi Mountain. It would be nice to go out and walk around in the human world!"
After the silver-haired old man finished speaking, everyone did not feel happy, but felt a sense of desolation. In fact, many people had already left the sect and went down the mountain. They also wanted to go down, but they still had expectations for the future and were not very adapted to the life down there. However, those who went down never went up the mountain again.
The atmosphere, which had been very good, suddenly became like a farewell dinner. Everyone's mood instantly dropped, and the entire cave was silent for a long time.
"What are you eating? It smells so good."
At this time, a young man appeared at the entrance of the cave. He was dressed strangely and thinly, with a tall and strong figure and a long and lingering breath. It did not look like he had climbed up the mountain by himself at all.
All the monks were surprised to see this young man, because they did not see any spiritual energy or magic power in him. He seemed to be just an ordinary person. But there was no doubt that ordinary people could not reach here, and no one in history had ever reached here on foot.
"Who is your Excellency?"
The silver-haired old man asked.
"My name is Zhou Yang!"
Zhou Yang directly admitted his name without hiding it.
"Zhou Yang? Who are you?"
The person who spoke was not the silver-haired old man, but the cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining. He knew very well that he could not reach the top of the mountain when he was a mortal. This person's aura was steady, and he did not reach the top by other means, so there was a problem.
"I am Zhou Yang, I am who I am!!"
Zhou Yang simply found a seat and sat next to a few people!
