“So for people like us, we are also not sure of Xuan Niu’s whereabouts.”
Upon saying this, Feng Zhijie saw that Lu Yuan’s expression was a bit ugly, so he quickly added: “However, the Pure Water Xuan Niu can only survive in Mount Yuanluo. If this ox leaves Mount Yuanluo, it will become sick and die from discomfort.
So even if the Sect Leader wanted to hide it, he could only focus his attention on the area of Mount Yuanluo, as it would be impossible to take the ox too far away.
General, you just need to send people to search widely in Mount Yuanluo, and you will surely find the ox.”
“It can only survive in Mount Yuanluo?”
Upon hearing Feng Zhijie’s words, Lu Yuan was slightly surprised and immediately asked, “What is the reason for this?”
Feng Zhijie hesitated and said, “Regarding the inability of the Pure Water Xuan Niu to leave Mount Yuanluo, our sect has been studying this issue for some time, and finally got a clear answer from the Daoist Path side.
It is said that the Pure Water Xuan Niu is a Divine Blood Variant, a rare and mythical creature.
Most of these Different Species have long lives and possess various mysterious abilities, comparable to powerful martial artists.
However, in order to maintain their mysterious bloodline, the Divine Blood Variants need to absorb the Essence of the sun and the moon and the Celestial spirit qi into their bodies, to sustain their own consumption.
But now the Celestial spirit qi is fading, and the Essence of the sun and the moon is becoming increasingly scarce, making it more and more difficult to absorb.
Therefore, sentient beings who want to absorb the Essence of the sun and the moon must be in a place where the immortal qi is still relatively active, such as Blessed Lands and Cavern Heavens, in order to achieve this goal with the help of these special places.
Mount Yuanluo is one of the seventy-two Blessed Lands and Cavern Heavens in the Daoist Path. Although it ranks low, it can still help the Xuan Niu to absorb the Essence of the sun and the moon.
So in Mount Yuanluo, the Xuan Niu can survive and continuously produce Spiritual Blood by absorbing the Essence of the sun and the moon.
However, once it leaves Mount Yuanluo and loses the supply of the Essence of the sun and the moon, the Xuan Niu will gradually lose its spirituality, its bloodline will degenerate, and it will die of old age.
All of this was learned from the answers given by the current Dao master of the Ziyun Dao on Tianluo Mountain when the Third Sect Leader personally went there.”
“Ziyun Dao?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was suddenly stunned. He hadn’t expected that the Seven Star Sect would have had any contact with the Ziyun Dao.
However, considering that the Seven Star Sect is a top-ranked sect in the Jianghu, and Ziyun Dao is the leader of the Daoism in Yue Country, it’s not surprising that the two sides would have had some intersections.
‘So the idea of the decline of Celestial spirit qi between Heaven and Earth is not something that has only been talked about in recent years, but was already realized by some people hundreds of years ago?’
Lu Yuan thought of the Dharma Ending Tribulation that Qi Yun Daoist had told him about a few days ago.
His heart was filled with waves, while Feng Zhijie on the side continued to say, “According to the Ziyun Dao master of that time, as the Celestial spirit qi in the world is now getting less and less, the number of cultivators it can support is also getting smaller and smaller.
Mount Yuanluo, ranking low among the Blessed Lands and Cavern Heavens, should be the first batch to dry up during this decline of Spiritual Energy.
In the future, the number of Pure Water Xuan Niu that can be supported will also decrease, until it is no longer able to support the consumption of the Xuan Niu and the Different Species dies out entirely.
Later on, this prediction came true.
A hundred years ago, the only two Xuan Niu in the sect suddenly died of illness, leaving only the current one.
And in recent years, the remaining Xuan Niu has been producing less and less Spiritual Blood.
In the past, the Spiritual Blood produced by the Xuan Niu each year could refine five elixirs. But in these years, due to the decline in blood condensation, only one or two Profound Pills can be refined each year.
Moreover, the Xuan Niu is getting old and can only live for another thirty or forty years at most.
At this rate, I’m afraid that once the Xuan Niu dies, our Seven Star Sect will also decline.”
At this point, Feng Zhijie couldn’t help but feel a touch of sadness and helplessness: “The reason for the rebellion of our Seven Star Sect this time was actually because the Sect Leader couldn’t bear the thought of the sect declining in a few decades. So he wanted to take advantage of this rare chaotic time to lead troops in looting other sects’ Divine Blood Variants, in order to maintain the inheritance of the sect.
But from what we see now, this is ultimately an illusion.
He thought of leading the sect to revival and preserving the sect’s inheritance, but in the end, he led the sect to a dead end.
The Seven Star Sect’s seven hundred years of Dao Inheritance has been severed today!”
Although this old man was afraid of death, he had grown up in the sect after
all. At this moment, thinking ot the tate ot the Seven Star Sect, he couldn’t help but shed tears.
Lu Yuan glanced at him, but didn’t pay attention to his feelings, and turned to leave with his troops.
Having obtained what he wanted and found out what he wanted to know, this old man was of little value to him now.
This time, the opposing side had betrayed the Seven Star Sect and had already severed ties with their former fellow disciples; there was no possibility for reconciliation between the two sides.
To avoid revenge from the Seven Star Sect and protect his own life and property, this person would even need to actively cooperate with the government and the court, assisting in suppressing the rebellious army of the Seven Star Sect.
Feng Zhijie had already boarded the court’s ship, unable to step down now.
After withdrawing the troops back to the camp outside the city, the remaining rebels inside the city were also cleaned up.
Basically, all the males aged twelve and older in the city were arrested and purged, leaving only the weak, elderly, women, and children that could not cause any more trouble.
Seeing this situation, Lu Yuan selected a military officer named Song Miao from among his disciples and asked him to lead two battalions of a thousand troops each to be stationed temporarily in the county town.
At the same time, he arranged for another disciple to escort the families of the rebels in Luyang City along with the captives of the First Camp back to Luyang City with two thousand soldiers.
As for himself, he took the remaining two thousand troops to Mount Yuanluo, preparing to search for the whereabouts of the Pure Water Xuan Niu.
Mount Yuanluo was not a small mountain, but a massive mountain range spanning dozens of miles. Nearly half of Linwu County’s area was covered by this mountain.
Searching for a single Xuan Niu within such a vast expanse of mountains and rivers was not an easy task, even with two thousand troops.
Not to mention, the Seven Star Sect had deliberately hidden the Xuan Niu, making the search even more difficult.
Lu Yuan had already prepared himself for a long drawn-out battle here.
Fortunately, at present, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner on all fronts.
Linwu County had been captured, and the families of the rebels in Luyang City had been taken away. Even if they could not take control of the city as smoothly as they did in Linwu County, it would still greatly shake the morale of the defenders in the city.
It was even possible that the defenders would flee out of the city and surrender outside the city.
This was all very likely to happen.
As for the Miao People in the direction of Yangshan Prefecture and Jiuyi
Prefecture, Lu Yuan had already arranged for scouts to keep an eye on them. However, according to the current information, the Miao People in these two regions showed no signs of moving towards Luyang Prefecture.
For a short period, they shouldn’t invade.
It was unknown whether the Seven Star Sect hadn’t sent someone to seek the Miao People’s assistance or whether the envoy’s persuasion was not successful. Regardless, it was good news for Lu Yuan.
Of course, the more docile the Miao people were, the more it might indicate that the other party was brewing some big conspiracy.
It’s just that it was in the preparation stage and hadn’t erupted yet.
However, regarding this, aside from being more vigilant, there was not much Lu Yuan could do.
He couldn’t possibly turn his head around and lead his troops to fight the Miao People when they were not attacking him.
That was an army of a hundred thousand Miao soldiers.
With only tens of thousands of troops under Lu Yuan’s command, who would win against whom was uncertain if they really fought.
So, even if he knew the Miao people were plotting something, he could only be passive and wait for their move before slowly dealing with and resolving it.
It was frustrating and helpless, but that was the reality.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan was not just waiting idly anymore.
For example, at this moment, he had set out to look for the Pure Water Xuan Niu.
Although finding the Xuan Niu wouldn’t conjure up tens of thousands of troops, it was still possible to produce a few or a dozen Profound Pills.
Lu Yuan didn’t need many; if he could get seven Profound Pills, he could help his disciple Zhou Qing break through to the first-rate realm.
If he could obtain a few more, raising several second-rate experts among his disciples wouldn’t be a problem.
If he could produce one more first-rate and several second-rate experts while breaking through to the peak of the first-rate realm himself, the benefits brought by these top-level combat powers could bridge the gap of thousands of troops.
In this era of great strife, the Seven Star Sect was striving for survival, Five Poisons Sect was brewing conspiracies, and the court was struggling to hold on.
Even Lu Yuan himself was trying every possible means to enhance his strength..
