Chapter 161 The Crisis of Cangyun Realm
When they were still prosperous, anyone could come to this place, but gradually it became unused and no one cared about it.
But later, they gradually couldn't communicate with the power of the stars, so they remembered this place again and cleaned it up again.
It is also stipulated that no one else can come here casually. Only the high priest and the goddess, as well as those recognized by the goddess, can come here.
In recent decades, this place has almost become the altar of their Star-Moon Tribe. The high priest has to come here to worship for all matters, big or small.
A few days ago, I dreamed of the previous high priest. The current high priest came here specifically to worship, and I seemed to see the goddess vaguely.
It was almost the same as Pei Cangli's appearance during the day, except that he was not wearing a mask. After taking off the mask, it was discovered that they were exactly the same.
The entire altar is a polygon, made of a special stone with complex star patterns and runes engraved on the surface.
There are also some gems placed around the altar. The positions of the gems are exactly the same as those of the Big Dipper, representing the power and mystery of the stars.
In the center of the altar, there is a complex formation, and there seem to be seven places left next to the formation.
"High Priest, what are those seven places used for?"
“Goddess, this formation has been passed down from the first high priest and has never been used. If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have noticed any difference between those seven places and the surrounding areas.”
The Big Dipper has seven positions in the formation. Is there any connection between them?
"Then why is this gem placed like this?"
"Goddess, we didn't place it this way ourselves. We placed the gems like this the next day after we saw you coming."
"I tried to restore them to their original shape, but they soon returned to the same shape. I thought it was your instruction, Goddess, so I stopped moving."
"Okay, then you wait for me outside and I'll try it myself first."
"Don't worry, Goddess. I'll be guarding outside."
After the high priest went out, Pei Cangli thought that this world was the world of five elements, so he converted the power of chaos into the power of five elements and aimed it at the formation.
There was no response, so he aimed at the gem again and applied the power of chaos again. Soon Pei Cangli was sucked in by the light emitted by the gem.
The high priest who was waiting outside suddenly saw a burst of light and thought that the goddess had communicated with the power of the stars. He ran in to take a look, but the goddess was gone.
What was going on? The cave was so small, and apart from some gaps on the top that let in starlight, there was no place to hide.
The goddess just arrived and was called away again?
The high priest looked at the empty cave blankly, feeling a little overwhelmed. What should he do now?
After thinking about it, they decided to wait here. If the goddess hasn't appeared by the end of the night, it means that she is really gone, and their Star-Moon Tribe is really finished.
After Pei Cangli was sucked in by the light emitted by the gem, he came to a void.
Soon a familiar voice sounded, "See you again, Pei Cangli!"
"Tian Dao? Why is it you? Isn't this another small world?"
"It's another small world, but it was created by me. As for your coming here, it was also arranged by me."
"Why? Is there anything special about this little world?"
"It is the last hope of the Cang Yun Realm. I hope you can help this small world survive this crisis, so that the Cang Yun Realm can survive for a while longer."
"You have never told me what kind of crisis is there in the Cang Yun Realm? What is the connection between this small world and the Cang Yun Realm?"
"In the past few hundred years, there has been no cultivator in the Cangyun Realm who has successfully ascended to the sky. Did you know that?"
"I know. Could it be related to the crisis in the Cangyun Realm?"
"For a cultivator to ascend, he must first reach the peak of the tribulation, and then he will have the opportunity to attract the thunder tribulation. If he survives the thunder tribulation, he can ascend. If he fails to survive the thunder tribulation, he will be reduced to ashes."
"Isn't this normal? This is the rule of heaven."
"That's because you are still too young. After you have practiced for hundreds or even thousands of years, you find that you might be reduced to ashes. Do you still want to survive the thunder tribulation?"
"Du, isn't the purpose of cultivation to ascend to become a god?"
"But when the chance of ascending to godhood becomes lower and lower, and even going through the thunder tribulation means a life-or-death situation, what do you think the cultivators in the tribulation period will do?"
"Avoid thunder and prolong your life."
"That's right. But if this continues for a long time, the Cang Yun Realm will not receive any feedback from the cultivators who have transcended the tribulation. Instead, there will be more and more new cultivators. Then, the world will fall into a situation where the income is not enough to cover the expenditure."
"So what did those monks who transcend tribulation do?"
“Not only the cultivators who are transcending tribulation, but also those in the Void Refinement Stage and even the Spirit Transformation Stage.”
"Top-grade spiritual roots, huh?"
"Pei Cangli, you are very smart. You guessed the truth right away. They began to collect various top-grade spiritual roots, trying to create a person with the best talent and luck, and then lead them to ascend to become gods."
"But over the past few hundred years, the spiritual power of the Cangyun Realm has long been not as strong as before. Without the spiritual power of the cultivators who have transcended the tribulation to return to the earth, if this continues, there will slowly be no cultivators left."
"Then how do they avoid the thunder?"
"Do you still remember the Azure Bamboo?"
"Well, I happen to have one here."
"That is the last one in the Cang Yun Realm. With it, one can not only prolong life, but also avoid thunder tribulations. However, it requires the extraction of the spiritual roots of tens of thousands of people."
"The better the spiritual roots, the longer they will last. People with average talents can only last a few days."
"Is that why those children were captured by them?"
"That's right. The resentment and anger of those whose spiritual roots were dug out nourish the dark aura of the Cangyun Realm, so there are more and more wild beasts."
"I have to suppress the dark aura of the Cangyun Realm while preventing them from stealing more of the power of the Heavenly Dao. I can't hold on any longer."
"How did they steal the power of heaven? What use is the power of heaven?"
"The combination of formations and sacrifices, the power of heaven can help them find people with top-grade spiritual roots faster."
"This small world is my last remaining strength. If we help them successfully communicate with the power of the stars, we still have a chance to save the Cang Yun Realm."
"But why did you choose me? I don't know how to communicate with the power of the stars?"
"You are the only one who has survived their encirclement and suppression over the years. The reason I didn't help you when you fell into the Demonic Gorge last time was because I couldn't save myself at that time."
"Moreover, it is because you are the only person in the past thousand years who has helped Cang Cang successfully cultivate a physical body. This shows that your luck and talent are the best, and you are the best destined person."
"The wood spirits in this small world have completely disappeared. If you want your partner to wake up quickly, this is an opportunity. Once you conquer this small world, it will be a help to you in the future."
"It sounds like all this work is risky for me, and there's no benefit, right?"
