The next day, in the sky above the Wuliang Mountains, a blue and green light flew out from the Wuliang Mountains and headed straight to the southwest. It was Lu Yang and the other two who had just taken the test of going down the mountain from the "Wuliang Sword School Foreign Affairs Office".

Although Chenxi helped to cheat, due to the qualifications of the lower-grade spiritual roots, Lu Yang has been practicing 24 hours a day and has only had the first level of Qi Refining, and is still a certain distance from the second level of Qi Refining.

Because his output power is too low, he cannot control the escape light to fly, so he can only hold a black-haired loli in one hand and glide on the Snow Wind and Lily.

That's right, Lu Yang and the other two were gliding rather than flying in the sky.

Xue Feng and Lily have just advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the output power is not very high. Even though these two rich loli are very luxurious, each holding a spirit stone and constantly charging himself, the output power is equivalent to the cruising power of several electric cars.

Therefore, even if the two lolitas have all their strength to activate the escape light, they can barely ensure that the three of them will not fall down, and their flight speed is only a pitiful 100 kilometers per hour.

In fact, if Wuliang Mountain had not been at a relatively high altitude and had a take-off platform for several people, otherwise, taking off on the flat ground might have consumed all the spiritual energy in the body with just the output power of Lily and Xuefeng.

If you want to fly in the air like a true great monk, you will have to at least achieve it until the late stage of Qi refining or even the Great Perfection of Qi refining.

The destination of Lu Yang and the other two is a remote town called Wangyou Town, about 2,200 kilometers away from the Wuliang Mountains.

The Wuliang Sword Sect has various sect tasks, including patrol, duty, mining, teaching, and working. If no one claims a task for a long time, the sect will increase its contribution points accordingly.

The reason why Lu Yang chose to go down the mountain was simply to avoid Xiao Huang and cause trouble. The primary requirement for choosing a task is to try to stay away from the Wuliang Mountains as much as possible. The best is the kind of task that is thankless, very wasteful, no merit to be used, no specific deadline, and other disciples are not willing to do.

Finally, he chose it all over the place, and in the corner, he found this task called "Investigating the causes of the monsters in the Forget-Waiting Town".

Wangyou Town is a town directly under the jurisdiction of Wuliang Sword Sect. Like Qingyun Town, there is also a permanent Qi Refining Immortal Master in the local area to protect the safety of the area.

Unlike the Immortal Master Zhu who is in the fourth level of Qi refining in Qingyun Town, Xu Xihong, the immortal master in Wangyou Town, has the qualification of low-grade spiritual roots, and his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi refining, and has entered the late stage of Qi refining. In terms of identity, this Immortal Master Xu is similar to Lu Yang, and is considered a non-staff disciple directly belonging to the Wuliang Sword Sect.

The reason why Wuliang Sword Sect directly governs this remote town and also sends a non-staff disciple to station it is mainly because Wangyou Town is located in a special location and is adjacent to the largest "wild monster nature reserve" in Zhongzhou.

Before the second Heavenly Dao Crisis, Wangyou Town was often harassed by monsters who accidentally broke out of the nature reserve, and the beast disaster made the local people miserable. In addition, the monks sent by Wuliangjian Sect to hunt monsters in the nature reserve often chose to temporarily settle in Wangyou Town.

Thousands of years ago, in order to stabilize the local situation, Wangyou Town even had the Jindan stage elder of the Wuliang Sword Sect personally took charge.

However, in recent thousands of years, the attacks on monsters in Wangyou Town have decreased significantly, and they often do not happen for decades.

This is mainly because after the widespread dissemination of the concept of cultivating the world-class schools, monks gradually realized that eliminating the monsters that cause trouble is actually a profitable business.

Especially after the merit acquisition mechanism was initially discovered, the monsters on the entire continent were all over the continent suffered a catastrophe overnight. Under the stimulation of merit, the cultivators in the whole world almost turned red. Cultivators shouting "Eliminate Demons and Defense" searched for the mountains and seas to find traces of monsters. As long as the monsters were alone, they would be killed by dozens of immortal arts in a few breaths.

Until dozens of monsters were killed, only specimens were left, nearly a hundred monsters were on the verge of extinction, and some of the main materials of commonly used elixirs were out of print, the seven major sects reacted and jointly established a wild monster nature reserve of large and small in Jiuzhou land to ensure that all kinds of monsters can maintain a certain population size.

However, the merits of hunting monsters are really rich. Although under the shock of the seven major sects, the monks did not dare to enter the reserve to poach monsters openly, almost all the monsters that broke out of the reserve will be quickly "seemingly unfairly" by the monks who were squatting around the reserve.

Even monks will make enemies with each other because of their qualifying for killing monsters.

Over time, monsters living in the monster nature reserve have been born through generations of natural selection and the instinct of resolutely not leaving the reserve. Some monsters who have developed their intelligence hide in the deepest part of the mountains and forests, and refuse to step out of the monster nature reserve in a single step.

As the incidents of monsters attacking humans gradually decreased, many monks who specialize in squatting here to kill demons and eliminate demons (walking to wait for rabbits) have gradually dispersed. Until today, Wangyou Town has just like other small towns, with only a low-grade spiritual root immortal master at the eighth level of Qi Refining here for many years, representing the Wuliang Sword Party to directly rule here.

However, in recent months, this remote town that was almost forgotten suddenly has frequent strange things, which made the Xianshi Xu, who was instinctively relieved in the late stage of Qi refining, and directly reported the relevant situation to the sect:

In the Forgetful Town, which had been as calm as stagnant water for hundreds of years, several incidents of weak monsters in the early stage of Qi refining occurred in succession. What's even more strange is that once these monsters were in chaos, they would be destroyed by masked cultivators who came out of nowhere.

Although the riots of these low-level monsters did not cause any actual harm, they were all monsters living in nature reserves. In theory, they were all the sect property and merit reserves of the Wuliang Sword Sect. They just ran out and were destroyed, which was also a loss to the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Therefore, Lu Yang's mission this time is to represent the Wuliang Sword Sect to investigate the reasons behind the change of "a large number of low-level monsters leaving the nature reserve".

Before coming here, Lu Yang also did some homework in advance. He found that the existence of this monster nature reserve itself seemed to have some problems.

When it comes to the monster nature reserve, we have to mention the Matthew effect in the cultivation world.

Theoretically, no matter what kind of human society, there will always be a Matthew effect where the strong are always strong, and cultivation civilization is a social form with a very strong Matthew effect.

If a sect occupies a large territory and has more resources, the number of high-quality spiritual roots will be generated, and the cultivation of sect members will naturally progress quickly. If a sect member has good spiritual roots and high-speed spiritual roots, he will naturally be able to seize more resources and more territory in turn. The two strengthen each other, and naturally the effect of the strong being always strong.

If there is no external intervention, the cultivation world will inevitably be dominated by one.

The interaction between cultivators and monsters will also produce the Matthew effect of the strong being always strong.

But strangely, this Matthew effect in the cultivation world only appeared after the second crisis of the Heavenly Dao.

It is said that before the second Heavenly Dao Crisis, humans and monsters stood against each other for hundreds of thousands of years but could not decide the outcome. Although there were seven major sects on the land of Jiuzhou at that time, the remaining small and medium sects had no unity with the seven major sects, and the two sides could maintain some strange game balance.

But after the second crisis of Heaven, these balances that had been maintained for hundreds of thousands of years were almost broken overnight.

Since the overall strength of the human race has a slight advantage over the demon race, this advantage soon magnifies like a snowball, causing the demon race's resistance to collapse quickly. As human cultivators press step by step, the monsters in Jiuzhou were on the verge of extinction in decades, and cultivators were forced to establish a monster nature reserve to ensure the reproduction of monsters and provide valuable cultivation resources for the cultivation world.

By the same token, the advantages of the seven major sects over other small sects were not accumulated and amplified after the second crisis of the Heavenly Dao, and finally formed a political pattern in which the seven major sects are in control.

The cultivators in this world believe that all the above changes are due to problems with the way of heaven.

These idealist cultivators believe that the essence of the way of heaven is that the will of heaven and earth must maintain the balance of the world, such as the balance between man and demon, the balance between large sects and small sects, and the balance between spirit stones and wealth distribution.

The crisis of the Heavenly Dao originally refers to the major change in the invasion of the demons hundreds of thousands of years ago, changing the laws of the Heavenly Dao of "outer-domain battlefields" and destroying the ancient heavenly court.

The reason why the second crisis of heaven is also called the "crisis of heaven" by cultivators is precisely because of its appearance that it also broke the balance of heaven in the human world, allowing human cultivators to completely overwhelm the demon clan, allowing the major sects to completely incorporate small sects, and allowing the spirit stones to experience unlimited deflation.

Cultivators call this ancient balance gradually decline more than 6,000 years ago "the way of heaven is missing."

But Lu Yang, a materialist, completely disagrees with the theories of historians of cultivation.

In his opinion, the world of cultivation after the second crisis of Heavenly Dao is in line with the objective laws of human social development. On the contrary, the world before the second crisis of Heavenly Dao reveals something wrong everywhere.

...

The words are divided into two ends.

Even with the help of Chenxi's auxiliary positioning, it took Lu Yang and the other two to arrive in Wangyou Town for nearly a day. When the three of them finally landed, Xuefeng and Lili's eyes were already red.

On Earth, driving for 3 hours in a row is considered fatigued. Female drivers like Lily and Xuefeng who drive for more than ten hours in a row are definitely perfect road killers.

Fortunately, there are relatively few cultivators in this world, and Wangyou Town is located in a remote place, otherwise there will be 80% of air traffic accidents.

Without even bothering to go to the local immortal master to report, Lu Yang and others directly found a clean and tidy inn and fell asleep.

Anyway, they went down the mountain to kill time, sect tasks, etc., just do whatever they wanted. Investigate things like change, and you can wait until you have a rest before talking about it.

In the eyes of ordinary disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect, the hard indicator of 1,000 points of sect contribution per year is like a mountain that makes everyone breathless, but for Lu Yang, it is hard to say whether he is still on this planet a year later.

Even if he failed to complete the sect mission in the end, it didn't matter if he was expelled from the sect.

Anyway, Xiao Huang, a tool man, is lurking in the sect for him. The information he has learned by himself these days is not as good as what he has learned through Xiao Huang.

The worst case is that he himself returned to university on Earth, and then remotely manipulated Xiao Huang through the identity of the unknown ancestor, and indirectly intervened in the situation in the cultivation world.

This is completely fine in theory.

However, before a few people could wake up naturally, they were woken up by a noisy sound in the town. In a vague way, shouts such as "The monsters are coming to make trouble again", "The monsters are coming to steal crops again", and "Our chickens are eaten by the monsters".

Since the riot happened in front of him, even if Lu Yang was reluctant, he had to force himself to get up and pull up two sleepy black-haired loli with sleepy eyes and walk out of the inn.

After all, all monsters in this world are very dangerous, and even monsters in the early stage of Qi Refining have a terrifying lethality. At least he is completely unable to guard against the sneak attacks of these monsters when he is sleeping.

If you are attacked by monsters in your sleep and are forced to be urgently teleported back to Earth, you will be a huge loss!

In order to better observe the situation, Lu Yang directly activated his spiritual power and jumped onto the roof of the two-story inn.

Lu Yang, who is a qi-refining layer, is just the most rare among cultivators, but among ordinary people, he is also considered a little superman.

The entire Wangyou Town looks like a clean and tidy version of Jiangnan town. Most of the houses are classical oriental houses with green bricks and green tiles. There are basically no buildings with more than two floors. Standing on the roof of the inn, you can see the situation of the entire town.

Lu Yang looked in the direction of the riot and found that many mortals were fleeing from the riot location, but what happened was not real from the roof of the inn. Just as he was about to get closer to observe the situation, a blue light suddenly flashed in the center of the riot, and then a loud noise like a grenade explosion sounded.

A moment later, a young man's voice came from the center of the explosion: "I heard that there are often monsters here in chaos recently, so I came to subdue demons and eliminate demons! Don't worry, fellow villagers, this beast has been killed. I have never left my name when doing good deeds. I have said goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light surged into the sky and shot into the distance.

After being baptized by the theory course of Wuliang Sword Sect, Lu Yang was no longer an ignorant cultivation novice at this time. In Wuliang Sword Sect, he had to see countless monks of different cultivation levels controlling the escape light every day. With the assistance of Chenxi's deep learning function, he also summarized a set of methods to judge the cultivation of monks through the escape light posture.

"Chenxi, what is this person's cultivation level?"

"Judged based on the acceleration of 100 kilometers when the escape light is activated, it is about the fifth to sixth levels of Qi refining!"

The cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining is not high. If the level of his cultivation skills is relatively low, his endurance may not be comparable to Xue Feng and Lily.

In this way, the cultivation of the monsters who are in trouble is indeed very average. Even such a novice cultivator in the mid-stage Qi refining stage dares to jump out and kill demons.

Although Lu Yang and others were all fighting the five scumbags, before going down the mountain, Mo Yunlan, who was the "acting master", specially gave Xue Feng a one-time magic weapon to protect him. It is said that the power is equivalent to the full blown attack of the first level of the Jindan monk.

According to Chenxi, the so-called magic weapon in this world seems to be a kind of mutated version of the Galaxy Federation machine, the same as the laser cannon Lu Yang used before. However, the magic weapon in this world does not have a charging function, and will "lost spirituality" after use, and it will also require "re-sacrifice" to be used.

It was precisely because of the magic weapon from the Golden Elixir stage that Lu Yang dared to bring two loli to join in the fun, otherwise he would have been as far as he could have traveled.

He joined the Wuliang Sword Sect purely to take care of Xue Feng, and secretly investigated the secrets of the cultivation world. He could never do such a thing as taking risks for a cheap sect.

Just as the three of them had just walked to the place where the mutation occurred and watched the corpse of the monster like a wolf demon with other ordinary townsmen, another sound of thunder breaking through the air came from the sky.

This time, a golden escape light came from far away and headed straight to the site of the incident, and suddenly came to the top of everyone's heads.
