The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

"Xirang? You said this is Xirang? The Xirang that Nuwa used to create humans?" Zeng Wenyu stared at the black soil in his hand with wide eyes.

"Nuwa? I don't know who Nuwa is, but this is indeed Xirang. As for what you said about creating humans, this Xirang doesn't have such a great effect," Xuanxuan explained to Zeng Wenyu, "The Xirang you mentioned may be different from what I said. The Xirang in your hand is an excellent healing elixir for humans. If your body is injured, you only need a little bit to heal the wound. It also has the effect of nourishing the body and improving blood. However, the effect of improving blood only works for us monsters."

"Oh, I thought it was true... Wait, you don't have the goddess Nuwa here?"

"I don't know. Could it be that you are talking about some ancient cultivator? Anyway, among the people we know, there is no cultivator named Nuwa, and the enemies in the upper realm have never heard of any cultivator named Nuwa."

"What about Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun? Don't they have any?"

"I haven't heard of it. Who are these you are talking about?"

"But wasn't it Yuanshi Tianzun who founded the original Taoist sect that taught everyone to practice Taoism? I have seen the statue of the founder of Taoism, wasn't that Yuanshi Tianzun?"

"Uh... I have never heard of it. And how dare someone name it Dao Sect? We cultivators are all seeking the Tao. If we name it Dao Sect, are we not afraid of heaven's punishment?"

"No... No... If you don't know about Taoism, then the Demon Emperor led the cultivators of this world to fight in the upper world... Wait, why has this matter never been recorded, and the beginning of the cultivators of this world is considered to be the establishment of Taoism, but if your battle was before the establishment of Taoism..."

"Don't think about it. The battle with the upper realm must have happened before the Dao Sect you mentioned. If nothing unexpected happened, it was a long time before the establishment of the Dao Sect you mentioned. It's so long ago that no one remembers what happened back then, and the records that have been passed down have completely disappeared. As for the cultivation method passed down? It seems that during our sleep, both the human race and the demon race have forgotten how to practice. But that person actually passed down the cultivation method, and it's not wrong to call the sect he established the Dao Sect. After all, the Dao Sect is also about teaching and receiving knowledge."

Zeng Wenyu was silent for a while. He had never thought of this before. But he thought again, now that the major empires have joined forces to block the news of Taoism, how many people in the various sects of Tianyi Continent know about Taoism? Ordinary people have almost no way to access those ancient books. Taoism has almost been forgotten by the cultivators of Tianyi Continent.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether you know it or not. Anyway, the things of the predecessors have long disappeared. The only ones who can survive now are the people who are alive now. But Senior Xuanxuan, if it were you, you would at least hope that someone would remember your efforts in the past, right?"

"Remember or not? I hope they don't remember. After all, we were defeated in the end. We just sealed the upper realm, and it hasn't been completely sealed. There are still comrades from that time fighting at the gap. And what about me? I was beaten to the point of only having a trace of soul left. I had no choice but to stay here and wait for you to wake us up with the ghost girl."

"But aren't you afraid that after the seal is broken, the people you protect will turn against the enemies of the upper world?"

"The monks all have their own choices. If they betray us, we just need to kill them. It's not like we don't have a chance of winning, but we don't know when it will appear." Xuanxuan looked a little lonely when he said this. Just when Zeng Wenyu was about to continue asking, he raised his head with a relaxed look, "Forget it, with your current cultivation level, what's the use of knowing all this? You might as well work hard to practice and improve your cultivation level first. When you arrive at the battlefield, someone will tell you everything."

Zeng Wenyu stopped asking questions, and at the same time Xuanxuan turned around and looked at Xiao Meng in the barrier. Xiao Meng was no longer rolling around. It had been in the barrier for three days, and finally reached its limit. It had fainted and fell into a deep sleep.

After removing the barrier, Xuanxuan walked to Xiaomeng, sniffed it, nodded, and handed Xiaomeng to Zeng Wenyu: "I didn't expect it to last for three days, but these three days of torture are a very good thing for it. Its bloodline has almost returned to its ancestral state. As for how much inheritance it can receive from its bloodline, it depends on its understanding. It will sleep for about half a month. The longer it sleeps, the more inheritance it will receive. You must protect it during this time."

Zeng Wenyu took Xiao Meng from Xuan Xuan's hands, held Xiao Meng in his arms, and smoothed out the fur on Xiao Meng's body that had become messy due to rolling around: "Don't worry, I will protect it."

After putting the sleeping Xiao Meng into his hood, and letting Xiao Li and Xiao Xue return to his body, Zeng Wenyu pushed open the door and walked out of the house.

Once a monk goes into seclusion, the shortest period of time is usually ten days to half a month. With only three days, no one would think that there was anything wrong with Zeng Wenyu. On the contrary, Tan Xiang was a little surprised when she saw Zeng Wenyu walking onto the deck.

"Have you come out?" Tan Xiang walked up to Zeng Wenyu and asked.

"Well, thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I'm out of isolation now," Zeng Wenyu answered Tan Xiang's question, and then he looked to the front of the boat, "Senior Sister, how long will it take for us to reach the shore?"

"It should be soon, right? Although we can't use spiritual energy, we have been moving forward at full speed in the past three days. And with Senior Ghost Girl guiding the way, it is estimated that we will reach the next island in one day at most."

Hearing what Tan Xiang said, Zeng Wenyu knew that Hua Zong had also learned about the situation here from the ghost girl. All the lands were just islands of different sizes, and the so-called "lakes" connecting these islands were actually a sea.

"Senior Sister, did Senior Ghost Girl tell us where our target is?"

"It is said that there is a place called Thunder Island. Senior Ghost Girl said that there is a lot of thunder there all year round. But it is also because of the thunder that the spiritual medicines and other things that grow there grow very well. They are born with the power of thunder. After taking it, it can reduce the power of future thunder tribulations. So after discussing with the independent cultivators on the ship, everyone finally decided to go to the Thunder Island."

"Thunder Island?" Zeng Wenyu remembered the island full of thunder that he saw in the sky with the ghost girl. That should be the Thunder Island that the ghost girl mentioned. And to get to Thunder Island from the previous location, three days would be far from enough even if one rowed at full speed, unless the ghost girl secretly used some means to increase the speed of advancement.
