Land of Destruction

Chapter 68 Land of Destruction

Guang Chengzi left Buzhou Mountain without hesitation, immediately turning around and heading west in his Eight Treasures Jade Flying Chariot.

Guang Chengzi had no doubt that the five innate great witches could break the Creation Lotus; they certainly couldn't.

To break the Creation Lotus is like breaking the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda—both are unthinkable things.

Moreover, the Creation Lotus is not a tree without roots. With that Chaos Pool there, it is equivalent to having an endless ocean of magical power at your disposal.

With ample magical power, even if the Creation Green Lotus only unleashes its own power, it is enough to overcome countless disasters and ignore all calamities. So why would it be afraid of the Heavenly Thunder used by those few innate great witches?

The reason why the Azure Lotus of Creation protects them is simply because they are overreacting. Once the Azure Lotus of Creation understands that these people are just using others to intimidate them, it will naturally teach them a lesson.

So instead of worrying about these things, he might as well go to the West and connect with those broken ley lines.

As for the three, including Taiyi Zhenren, Guang Chengzi had little concern.

Only by planting a golden lotus in fire can one achieve unparalleled physical prowess.

He's not a nanny who's with them every day; he can't do everything for them. So one day they'll have to stand on their own, and today is the best opportunity.

After all, Mount Buzhou is now practically empty. Almost all the Taiyi Golden Immortals are near the Creation Green Lotus, either to seize the treasure or just to watch the excitement. They have all come out in droves.

Those three were already incredibly lucky, able to kill anyone who dared to come to them. Now that these people were no longer there to stop them, they naturally became even more triumphant.

If the three still died under these circumstances, Guang Chengzi would be helpless and could only conclude that their fates were too bad, and that there was no point in them living.

As he traveled westward, Guang Chengzi clearly sensed that the spiritual energy in the world was gradually becoming scarcer. It wasn't that there was no spiritual energy in the west, but rather that the spiritual energy was resisting entering the west.

Just as clear water doesn't want to get close to a completely dried-out sponge, they instinctively refuse to enter it.

Guang Chengzi was extremely surprised by this. What had happened to the West? How could even unconscious spiritual energy avoid it like the plague?

Subconsciously, Guang Chengzi began to breathe through his mouth and nose, using the Pangu Breathing Method.

Indeed, only breathing reveals the true nature of things. As soon as Guang Chengzi began to breathe in the spiritual energy from the west, what he first inhaled was not the calm spiritual breath, but a series of self-destructive, destructive waves.

It's as if something has been pushed to the edge of a cliff, with most of its body already near the edge. Even without external force, the fact that most of its body is sticking out is enough to make it gradually fall off the cliff.

A person on the verge of death.

This is Guang Chengzi's clearest understanding.

The West is dying.

"Was the damage caused by Rahu really that severe? Even the West couldn't withstand such damage?"

Guang Chengzi felt heavy-hearted. He activated the Pangu Breathing Technique, and at this moment, he seemed to have truly transformed into Pangu, gazing at his world from afar. Looking at its riddled state, the desolation in his heart was unimaginable.

It's no wonder that even unconscious spiritual energy doesn't want to enter the West. The West is already close to the brink of destruction, and has even reached the point of self-destruction. Entering it would be like being buried with it, so naturally, people avoid it.

Spiritual energy is also a part of the world, representing the endless cycle of creation. If cultivation is likened to a pyramid...

So, spiritual energy is the lowest and most important layer.

Without spiritual energy, there are no mountains and rivers; without mountains and rivers, there are no veins; without veins, there is no nature; without nature, there are no various kinds of flowers, plants, and trees; without flowers, plants, and trees to help spiritual energy spread, cultivators would find it difficult to absorb it.

Naturally, even the path of cultivation could not be opened.

Perhaps some people, while climbing the pyramids, reach the top, grow wings, and fly away, no longer needing to walk, and no longer caring about the pyramids. But for the vast majority of monks, the pyramids remain extremely important.

But now that even the first level has been destroyed, how can the pyramid be rebuilt?

but--

Guang Chengzi tried to carry a wisp of spiritual energy to the west. During this process, the spiritual energy naturally did not resist at all. However, when Guang Chengzi released his control, the spiritual energy spontaneously headed east.

This is an instinctive reaction. The West has already destroyed itself. As an ever-renewing spiritual energy, it will never destroy itself. Instead, it will follow its instincts and head towards a place where life can flourish.

And this is just one example. Guang Chengzi opened his Dharma Eye and looked at the extremely distant west. Gradually, in that west, there were countless streams of spiritual energy heading east. Even though most of the spiritual energy dissipated halfway, it was still leaving the west continuously without stopping at all. It was as if it would rather die than stay here.

"No wonder everyone says the West is barren. Even the most basic spiritual energy has left this place. How can it not be barren?" Guang Chengzi sighed, but he still headed west, going against the current compared to the thousands of spiritual energies around him.

Spiritual energy is not something lowly or seemingly ubiquitous. This so-called spiritual energy is formed from the essence of Pangu mixed with the aura of chaos. It is the most nourishing and fundamental substance.

While the gathering of spiritual energy may not give birth to divine objects, divine objects must be nourished by spiritual energy to maintain their immortality.

Just as an ordinary stone may not be able to forge a peerless sword, a peerless sword needs the stone to polish itself frequently to remove rust; otherwise, in the end, the peerless sword may not be as sharp as a kitchen knife.

Without spiritual energy, even an innate spiritual root will wither, and an innate spiritual treasure will decay.

Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, the earth's veins naturally break down, and if the earth's veins cease to exist, then veins such as fire veins, energy veins, and water veins will also be destroyed.

Under such circumstances, how could the West not become impoverished?

The further west you go, the less greenery there is around Guangchengzi, and the huge mountains that can be seen everywhere slowly sink down until they finally turn into a plain.

The rise and fall of mountains is the movement of the earth's veins. Without mountains, it's as if there are no earth veins, and naturally, it becomes a plain.

The brown soil also turned reddish-yellow gravel. Originally, there was more soil than sand, but in a short time, the gravel turned into soil, and it was impossible to find any soil at all.

This is still in the border area between East and West, which is more towards the East. If we really entered the West, I wonder what the situation would be like.

It wasn't until Guang Chengzi crashed into a vast, desolate desert that he realized he had finally arrived in the west, a place of destruction.
