Fantasy: I Can Instantly Comprehend Everything

167 Monstrous Waves

Zhou Yun knew that Venerable Xunling’s whereabouts were uncertain. Even Xin Yu, a nascent soul stage cultivator, could not find him. They could only capture heaven’s favorites to lure Venerable Xunling out.

He had not really broken through to the golden core stage yet. It was hard to say if he would disappear in the next moment. Therefore, Zhou Yun had to seize the opportunity to ask Venerable Xunling about this world and all the information about Xin Yu.

“It seems that you’ve experienced a lot during this time. Other than the growth of your own cultivation level, there is also the growth of your mental state. As expected of a heaven’s favorite that I’ve misjudged.” Instead of answering Zhou Yun’s question, Venerable Xunling started talking to himself.

“To think that such a heaven’s favorite could be born in such a small place. If Young Master Han were to find out about this, he would probably kill you in the cradle.” Venerable Xunling continued.

As Zhou Yun listened, he became more alert. Who was Young Master Han? He had read a lot of novels in his previous life about killing heaven’s favorites. However, in this world, in Spirit Valley and the five upright sects, because of Ling Qingyun’s lead in issuing orders, there was no such situation.

So Young Master Han was someone from outside this world. He was the chosen one that they wanted to kill!

Zhou Yun instantly became alert. Venerable Xunling’s identity was unknown. Perhaps he would really attack him.

“Hahaha, don’t worry. I wouldn’t go so far as to attack a junior like this.” After seeing Zhou Yun’s reaction, Venerable Xunling was impressed by Zhou Yun’s quick thinking, but he could not help but laugh.

“Young Master Han is the master of this world and has owned this 5 directions 5 elements furnace for over three thousand years. The heretic cultivators were thrown in here only to refine them and add some spiritual energy to the furnace.” Venerable Xunling explained. Zhou Yun and Qiao’er, as well as everyone else present, were all listening attentively, afraid of missing a single word!

They had never expected that not only did Venerable Xunling know the truth of this world, but he also knew who the master of this world was. This surprised everyone!

At the same time, everyone was suspicious of the true identity of Venerable Xunling! Who was he? Why was he in this world? Why did he do things like supporting the heaven’s favorites?

“One of the functions of the furnace is to refine the cultivators locked inside into special spiritual Qi and store it for use when refining pills.” As Venerable Xunling spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled in the air. Wisps of spiritual energy were drawn out by him like swimming dragons, swaying in the air.

“This kind of spiritual energy that is produced by refining living creatures has a special effect on alchemy. That’s why Young Master Han captured that group of heretic cultivators back then.” Said Venerable Xunling.

“But, if it’s just to catch the heretic cultivators, why did he leave that sentence and then catch the upright disciples?” Ling Qingyun furrowed her brows and asked. One had to know that the information they had obtained in the spiritually deprived ground trials clearly stated that the direct disciple did not treat them as human lives at all. He had made them fight to the death in this world before they could leave!

“Hahaha, perhaps in Young Master Han’s eyes, cultivators below the nascent soul stage are not considered human.” Said Venerable Xunling. Everyone at the scene, including Zhou Yun, felt a chill in their hearts!

It was no wonder that their ancestors had been locked in this world for more than a thousand years without being released. It turned out that they had never been truly taken seriously! That’s not right. Since the batch of upright disciples a thousand years ago, they had never been treated as humans in Young Master Han’s eyes!

“Did you know? In fact, all the spiritual energy in this world did not exist in the beginning. Whether it was a thousand years ago or now. The spiritual energy you absorb is actually the spiritual energy that is formed after the cultivator dies and is refined by the smelting furnace.” Venerable Xunling once again revealed an important piece of information.

Zhou Yun was stunned. Everyone present was shocked!

It turned out that it was not just the world they were in that was fake. Even the spiritual energy they cultivated was fake!

If they were to leave this world now and come into contact with true spiritual energy, what would their cultivation be like?

Zhou Yun did not dare to imagine. What kind of place was he in?!

It was like a parasite. They relied on the spiritual energy produced from the corpses of the cultivators who were on the side of justice and the opposite side of justice who had slaughtered each other thousands of years ago to survive and cultivate!

Zhou Yun suddenly understood why was it that in this world where spiritual energy was scarce. There was also a spiritual energy mine in the Soul Guide Sect. It turned out that it wasn’t a real spiritual energy mine, but a product of a powerful cultivator’s death and refinement in the smelting furnace!

“In other words, after we die, we will also turn into spiritual energy. As the spiritual energy is continuously consumed, this world will eventually be left with no trace of spiritual energy and become a world of mortals?” Zhou Yun could not believe it. If he lost his spiritual energy, what could he do?

“Something’s wrong! If Young Master Han had really captured the heretic cultivators for the sake of refining pills… Then why had no new cultivators been captured in the past thousand years? Could it have been a thousand years? That bloodthirsty Young Master Han didn’t meet any more heretic cultivators?” Ling Qingyun asked. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing!

“That’s right! If that’s the case, there should be people being captured in our world every once in a while! Such a bloodthirsty Young Master Han should have captured anyone he saw as an eyesore!” An elder chimed in.

As for the fact that Young Master Han had already died, they had never even thought about it.

This was because spiritual weapons had to be bound to their owners. If that Young Master Han was already dead, they would have been released by this ownerless spiritual weapon long ago. He might even become the owner of this ownerless spiritual weapon!

Therefore, that Young Master Han was definitely still alive!

Seeing how serious the crowd was, Venerable Xunling could not help but wave his hand.

“That Young Master Han doesn’t know how to refine pills at all. That’s why he caught the people after he obtained the refining furnace. After messing around with them, he threw the refining furnace into his treasure vault. He’s been doing this for over a thousand years.” Venerable Xunling spread out his hands and said.

“So, no matter who wins in the end, he might not have remembered this. You might spend the rest of your lives, or even all the people in this world will become ordinary people, and eventually die in this small world.” As Venerable Xunling spoke, he did not deliberately emphasize this tragic fact. However, everyone present, including Zhou Yun, was stunned by the news!

“We’ve spent our entire lives working hard, even risking our lives to fight against the heretic cultivators, only then will we have a slim chance of defeating them and leaving. All of this is for nothing?” Ling Qingyun could not accept this fact at all!

“Then what exactly do we exist for? Is it possible that in the end, everyone will become mortals and die in this world?” A golden core stage elder couldn’t take it anymore and almost collapsed!

Even Qiao’er held Zhou Yun’s hand and did not say a word.

Only Zhou Yun was staring at Venerable Xunling. He seemed to have discovered something!
