My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

"I've lived for hundreds of years and never seen a single immortal! It's been over a thousand years since any cultivator has ascended to immortality! Where would immortals come from?!"

"Spiritual energy can be stolen? Are you kidding me?!"

"Hey! Wenren Ya! Are you talking nonsense because you're afraid of being tortured by us?"

“Although we hate you and your Canghai Realm, we are not people who abuse punishments indiscriminately. You don’t need to tell us such lies to fool us.”

Wenren Ya raised her hand to signal everyone to calm down, and she continued to explain: "The celestial envoy told us that no cultivators from the Canghai Realm and the Canglan Realm have ascended in the past thousand years because the cultivators of the Canglan Realm offended the immortals and were stripped of their right to ascend by the immortal realm."

The spiritual energy of the Canglan Realm began to gradually dissipate from that time, which was a punishment for the Canglan Realm.

In order to continue cultivating with spiritual energy, your Canglan Realm secretly used evil magic to steal the spiritual energy of the Canghai Realm, which is why the Canghai Realm lost its spiritual energy.

The celestial messenger claimed that the immortals of the Celestial Realm had inadvertently discovered this matter. Unable to bear seeing the Canghai Realm kept in the dark, and shocked by the Canglan Realm's audacity and ruthless nature, they dispatched the celestial messenger with a divine decree to assist the Canghai Realm in punishing the Canglan Realm and reclaiming everything rightfully theirs.

"When has our Canglan Realm ever lacked spiritual energy?"

"That's utter nonsense! How could such a thing possibly happen?!"

"I still don't understand, how can spiritual energy be stolen? How can Qi be taken away?"

"This is clearly a frame-up! I don't think that's some kind of celestial messenger, but some evil demon trying to deceive us!"

"Are you cultivators from the Canghai Realm out of your minds? You believe everything people say?"

"That's not entirely true. Their spiritual energy was indeed starting to decrease at that time, and with someone guiding them like that, they might really misunderstand us."

"Whose side are you talking about?"

"How come people believe all sorts of nonsense these days? If the border river hadn't been closed, I would definitely have gone there to do business and made a fortune."

The people present were very emotional.

Chu Jun raised his voice and said, "Please be patient, everyone, and let us hear what she has to say, shall we?"

Ji Daoyun's attitude was not as good as Chu Jun's. He cast several silencing spells in succession, directly silencing the mouths of the loud-voiced people. He gestured for Wenren Ya to continue speaking.

Wenren Ya nodded gratefully to Chu Jun and Ji Daoyun, and continued, "About thirty or forty years ago, the celestial envoy prophesied that your Canglan Realm, fearing that our Canghai Realm would discover your conspiracy and in order to cover up your crimes, would use the full power of your realm to seal off the boundary river."

Sure enough, not long afterward, the surface of the boundary river became turbulent, and fierce winds raged on both banks, making it impossible for cultivators to pass.

The unusual behavior of the boundary river fulfilled the celestial envoy's prophecy, and given the premise of the depletion of spiritual energy in the Canghai Realm, the cultivators of the Canghai Realm deeply believed what the celestial envoy said.

Similarly, this serves as strong evidence of your treacherous schemes, cunning, and greed.

Wenren Ya sighed, her mood somewhat downcast, her face bearing a sarcastic smile: "I think you must be curious about how we cultivators of the Canghai Realm cross the sealed boundary river."

Do you remember the divine edict I mentioned? It was the silk scroll that Bai Yan and Su Daiyu held high before they died.

However, what they had were replicas made by the celestial messengers based on the celestial edicts they possessed.

There are two genuine divine edicts, both from the upper realm, which are proof given by immortals to their messengers.

"We were able to ignore the barrier of the boundary river precisely because of the power of the divine decree."

Ji Daoyun looked at the monks of Beiwen Temple: "Did you see any imperial edicts during your search?"

The monk Kong Shi of Beiwen Temple touched the ordination scar on his forehead and said with distress, "No, the cultivators of the Wenjian Sect left nothing but headless corpses after they died."

Whether it was the silk document or the Qiankun bag, they all turned to ashes.

This is precisely what we can't understand.

"Of course nothing can be left behind."

All the cultivators from the Canghai Realm who come to the Canglan Realm, apart from their natal magic weapons and natal spirit swords which are closely related to their lives, have all their robes, magic weapons, pills, talismans, and so on, all of which have been reforged by the Refining Yuan Cauldron.

Wenren Ya's expression was indifferent. "The Refining Yuan Cauldron will improve the grade of those external objects. With the blessing of the Immortal Decree, everything that everyone uses will be monitored by the Immortal Envoy at all times. The fake Immortal Decree still has such power."

Bai Yan and Su Daiyu issued a false divine decree ordering the Gu worms in our bodies that we would die from them.

To prevent the Canglan Realm from obtaining our information, the celestial envoys and the Canghai Realm naturally turned all those things into ashes.

"What is this Refining Yuan Cauldron you mentioned? Is it in your Canghai Realm?"

Bai Yize stroked his chin thoughtfully, "If only we could snatch the Refining Yuan Cauldron..."

If the Canglan Realm also possessed the Refining Yuan Cauldron, their war with the Canghai Realm wouldn't be as passive as it is now.

Wenren Ya chuckled lightly, her meaning ambiguous: "What? You don't know?"

The pitch-black cauldron used by the Canghai Realm to sacrifice you is the Refining Yuan Cauldron.

Wenren Ya's words surprised everyone present once again.

Bai Yize said incredulously, "Since the Refining Yuan Cauldron is something used to upgrade the grade of magic artifacts, how can it be used to sacrifice cultivators?"

Lu Xizhou asked in surprise, "How can there be so many Refining Yuan Cauldrons? From what you've said, shouldn't Refining Yuan Cauldrons be rare treasures?"

Wenren Ya sighed: "The Refining Yuan Cauldron was given to us by the Immortal Envoy."

"If you ask why there are so many, I don't know either. The immortal envoys can always seem to pull out refining cauldrons from their storage spaces."

After not hearing anything about the Gu worms for a while, Cangya Zi asked personally, "Did the Gu worms in your bodies also come from those immortal envoys?"

Wenren Ya nodded: "That's right."

The celestial envoy said that our Canghai Realm should unite to deal with the Canglan Realm, but with so many people and sects, it's difficult to manage them all. Furthermore, there's a possibility of traitors appearing during our operations, exposing the fact that the Canghai Realm knows everything about the Canglan Realm, thus raising the Canglan Realm's vigilance...

In short, the celestial messenger spoke many high-sounding words, and then implanted Gu worms into our bodies.

However, the disciples of Taibai Pavilion almost never have Gu worms in their bodies. They always prefer to place seals in their disciples' sea of ​​consciousness. Once a core issue is touched, Taibai Pavilion's seals will automatically clear the way without the need for the immortal envoys to intervene.

A wave of emotion stirred within everyone, and they couldn't help but discuss it in hushed tones.

"What kind of celestial messenger is this? He's clearly a heretical cultivator."

"Has Canghai Jie been swindled out of all his money?"

"How could such filthy creatures as Gu worms exist in the upper realm?"

Cangya Zi snorted coldly upon hearing this. He snapped his fingers, and a slender snake quickly crawled toward the cultivator who had spoken. The cultivator was unable to dodge in time, let out a scream, and then fell silent.

Seeing this, no one dared to say a word, fearing they would be the next unlucky victim.
