Chapter 637 - 622 Testing the Machine_2
Ye Yan couldn’t help but shake his head as he spoke.
"Devoured by that Evil God..."
Gu Jinlai also felt some regret, "I originally wanted to know how the Profound Immortal Realm managed to crush that terrifying Evil God back then, and whether we can replicate that success if the Evil God reemerged. Now it seems... we might not get an answer."
"Replicate that victory? There’s hardly any chance."
Ye Yan said, "Back then, with abundant spiritual energy, our Profound Immortal Realm maintained close connections with neighboring realms through Realm Gate technology, exchanging knowledge and progressing together, our combined strength even greater than now. But since the decline of spiritual energy ten thousand years ago, almost all connections between the realms have ceased."
As he said this, the corner of his mouth twitched, "Operating a Realm Gate consumes too much energy, even more than activating the Heavenly Dao. Now, only the Xuanyuan Sword Sect can barely support this kind of expenditure."
Gu Jinlai had already been in the Profound Immortal Realm for most of the year.
Especially in the past few months, wandering in the mortal nations away from the Spirit Veins, he clearly felt how scarce the spiritual energy was in those mortal nations.
"It’s said that scholars from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect have claimed that if we can’t find a way to halt the decline of spiritual energy, it’s estimated that in another eight to ten thousand years, the Profound Immortal Realm will become completely unsuitable for cultivators to live in, everyone’s Spirit Roots will devolve, and at most people can achieve something in Martial Arts... Immortals, will become extinct from the world."
Ye Yan’s eyes were full of concern, "Over a decade ago, the Chi Family accused the Xuanyuan Sword Sect of intending to establish a Super Grotto Heaven spanning tens of thousands of miles, incorporating all the Spirit Mechanisms of the Profound Immortal Realm into this Super Grotto Heaven to ensure the circulation of spiritual energy, survive the period of spiritual energy extinction, and wait for the day it might recover. Although the Xuanyuan Sword Sect has denied this, if it is true... it’s likely all forces in the Profound Immortal Realm would start building their own Super Grotto Heavens just in case."
