Chapter 224 The Past of the Cultivation World
"Coastal defense?"

Hearing these four words, Fang Chen instantly became alert.

For Yuehua Fairy City, this decision is obviously a huge benefit.

After all, if the demons really invade, Yuehua Fairy City and Feng Kingdom will basically be on the front line.

He began to prepare immortal soldiers for active defense.

If the Monks' Alliance is willing to establish a defense line on the coast, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the pressure on his side.

"After internal discussions within the alliance, the East Coast was divided into three sections: upper, middle, and lower. The Huoyun Sect is responsible for the upper section, the Feiyun Sect is responsible for the middle section, and the Wang Family, the Tianfeng Sect, and the eighteen Purple Mansion Sects are responsible for the lower section."

Tianyu also outlined the specific plan for the coastal defense line.

Judging from the balance of power, either Huoyun Sect or Feiyun Sect is stronger than the combined power of the following 20 sects. However, there is obviously an ulterior motive behind making such a distribution.

The two major sects also knew that neither the Tianfeng Sect nor the Wang Family, nor the eighteen Zifu Sects, wanted to be controlled by others.

In this case, throwing them all together can not only get rid of the burden, but also prevent them from arguing with each other and getting anything done.

"It looks like we need to build a coastal defense line together."

Ling Mengqiu didn't hear so many hidden meanings and communicated with Fang Chen using her spiritual consciousness.

"Ah."

Fang Chen nodded slightly and responded perfunctorily, still thinking about the defense line in his heart.

For Yuehua Fairy City, the establishment of this line of defense is very necessary and must be promoted.

For this reason, he would do it even if he could not get the support of all the eighteen Zifu sects.

It's not that he is pessimistic. Several of these eighteen sects are on the other side of the Lianyun Mountains, tens of thousands miles away from the coast. Even if the demon cultivators really invade and are unstoppable, they won't care.

They had plenty of time to run.

With his mind on things, he listened carefully to the following introduction about the eighteen Purple Mansion sects, and roughly judged in his mind which sects could be won over.

However, the situation is not optimistic.

The lower line of defense includes the entire Jueling Swamp, which is an area with thin spiritual energy and is even regarded as the mortal world by those Purple Mansion Sects.

The strongest forces are just some foundation-building sects that rule over the mortal kingdoms under their command, and they are all concentrated on the coast.

For this reason, there are hardly any mountain gates of the Purple Mansion Sect in this area.

Expecting them to do their best is probably unrealistic.

I'm afraid that this line of defense can only rely on the efforts of Yuehua Fairy City and the Wang family themselves.

With mixed feelings, the alliance ceremony came to an end.

However, the two major sects were not in a hurry to drive everyone away, but instead prepared lunch in the trading area in front. Fang Chen stood up and said goodbye to Ling Mengqiu.

After walking a few steps, Ye Qingyang, Long Jia and Tian Yu all came to his side.

"Aren't you going to attend the luncheon held by the two major sects?"

Judging from the posture of the three of them, they were obviously preparing to walk towards the guesthouse, so Fang Chen asked directly.

"That's not necessary. Although the two major sects are not stingy, they have prepared some spiritual fruits and spiritual teas. The Immortal City is not short of these."

Ye Qingyang shook his head. Being able to say the word "Xiancheng" in front of Tianyu, it seemed that they had already had a conversation. Ye Qingyang confirmed that the other party could be trusted.

"Well, and we have something important to tell you."

Long Jia on the side also nodded, and then said: "It's rare to see you. You dare to come to such a dangerous place just after building your foundation. You are not like before."

“Senior Long Jia’s words sound as if the alliance ceremony between the two major sects is a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair.”

Fang Chen smiled. With Ye Qingyang around, he was not worried that Long Jia would attack him.

What's more, looking at the current situation, Longjia is completely tied to the same warship with them and will never make such a move.

"It's not much different from a dangerous place. Let's go to your guest house first. We can talk slowly there."

Longjia sighed, and then continued walking towards the guest house.

Fang Chen and his companions quickly followed.

It didn't take long before the four of them entered the guest house of Tianfeng Sect. Although Longjia and Tianyu did not have identity jade cards, it was nothing in front of Tianyu.

He just waved his hand and two jade plates appeared out of thin air.

Fang Chen then remembered that even his and Ye Qingyang's identity jade cards were made by Tianyu and had never been passed through the two major sects.

Obviously, his attainments in formations were even higher than Lin Qingshan's, and not just a little bit higher.

After entering the courtyard of the guest house, Tianyu moved his fingers again and set up a soundproof formation to cover the four people. Then he said, "Now no one can hear our conversation. You can talk without worry."

"Is there a problem with the two major immortal sects?"

Seeing what he did, Fang Chen immediately realized the reason.

"This is a big problem. Just a few days ago, they used mortals to perform blood sacrifices at the headquarters of the Monks' Union."

Fang Chen had already guessed this, but when he heard Tianyu say this, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

At the same time, Tianyu's identity was also further confirmed.

So he looked at Long Jia, then at Tian Yu, and couldn't help asking: "Two seniors, since the two major sects have been doing such evil things, and you don't seem to support it, why don't you stop their behavior?"

"It's not that we don't want to stop it, it's that we can't stop it."

Tianyu sighed and said, "As long as you offer a sacrifice, you can get everything you want without any other price. How many people can resist such temptation? Even if you ask them to swear an oath with their Tao heart, they can wash away the oath through blood sacrifice. It cannot be stopped."

"Then why not just destroy the two major immortal sects? Aren't there Nascent Soul cultivators in other areas?"

Fang Chen asked again, judging from the current situation, other regions are actively fighting against the Demon Cultivator Alliance, and they probably look down on the actions of the two major immortal sects.

Then why not just destroy them and set up a new sect to take charge of the Eastern Region?

"If this works, I can destroy two major immortal sects by myself, and I have wanted to do this for a long time, but unfortunately it is impossible."

Tianyu shook his head, a rare expression of helplessness appearing on his face.

"why?"

Fang Chen was confused.

"Do you know why the Immortal Dynasty collapsed ten thousand years ago?"

Tianyu did not answer directly, but asked Fang Chen another question.

"I heard that it was an internal struggle within the Immortal Dynasty. In order to deal with you former immortals, the high-level officials of the Immortal Dynasty brought about pollution, causing the Immortal Dynasty to fall apart."

Fang Chen told Long Jia the information he had heard from him.

"Yes."

Tianyu nodded, and continued: "This new world was originally cut out from the original big world after it was polluted. The Immortal Dynasty brought pollution, making the efforts of Yueshen and others in vain, and the new world will also face a catastrophe.

"In times of crisis, five Mahayana cultivators united themselves with the Tao and opened up the current world of cultivation. They are the ancestors of the five major sects in the current world of cultivation."

"The five great immortal sects?"

It was the first time Fang Chen heard this concept and he couldn't help but feel confused.

"They are the five Nascent Soul Sects that control the Central Plains and the four directions of the cultivation world. Of course, ten thousand years ago, they were still Mahayana Sects. However, the new cultivation world is after all a world where Mahayana cultivators merge with the Tao, so the concentration of spiritual energy is far less than before, and there is also the never-ending internal strife..."

Tianyu did not continue, but Fang Chen understood what he meant. The higher the level of the cultivators, the greater the damage to the world caused by their fighting.

In a normal world, the ecosystem is stable enough and can repair itself.

However, this newly born world of cultivation obviously could not afford such frequent infighting among the cultivators.

"Those five seniors protected these five great sects when they merged their bodies into the Dao?"

After listening to Tianyu's introduction, Fang Chen naturally understood the reason behind it.

"To be precise, it is their bloodline descendants. There is nothing wrong with doing this. Unfortunately, the descendants of heroes have been corrupted. The people who took the lead in the blood sacrifice in Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect are the only two bloodline descendants of a certain predecessor. Any problems with them will lead to the collapse of the new cultivation world."

Tianyu spread his hands. If it weren’t for this, he would have flattened the two major immortal sects long ago.

"Then can't we control these two people alone?"

Fang Chen proposed a new solution.

"They have already established a connection with the objects of the blood sacrifice. As long as they are not killed instantly, they can escape through the objects and make up the sacrifice."

Such a simple method is something that anyone can think of, but naturally it won't work.

"Who is the object of the blood sacrifice? Can they still owe me a sacrifice?"

Ye Qingyang, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but ask.

He had only heard of the various conveniences of the blood sacrifice method before, but after learning about it in detail, he found it to be truly incredible.

He was also a little scared. If Fang Chen had not come to him first, he would probably have learned about the characteristics of the blood sacrifice and would have been unable to resist going astray.

"I don't know either. Everyone in the Moon Palace is a riddle-teller. When asked, they dodge the question. I only have some guesses so far."

Tianyu looked at Longjia, his words were full of sarcasm.

Obviously, this time he also intended to force the other party to tell the truth.

"Don't look at me. I don't know much. If I knew, I would have told you everything."

Long Jia also looked helpless. He said they were the Moon Goddess's followers, but in fact they were just ornamental animals raised in the Moon Goddess Palace.

How do you know what those big shots are planning?
"Senior Tianyu, aren't you from the Moon God Palace?"

"What is the Moon Palace?"

Fang Chen and Ye Qingyang asked the question at the same time.

But their problems are different.

Fang Chen had long known about the existence of the Moon God Palace through dreams, and soon after he met Long Jia, a living person from the Moon God Palace.

Ye Qingyang was very unfamiliar with this force.

"No, the Moon Palace has always been mysterious. If the big world wasn't about to be destroyed, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to meet them."

Tianyu glanced at Ye Qingyang, but did not answer his question. Instead, he tried to clear up Fang Chen's confusion.

“Although Senior Tianyu does not belong to the Moon God Palace, his contribution to this world is no less than ours. Seventy to eighty percent of the humans in this world are descendants of the people he saved.”

Long Jia added on the side, and his tone sounded like Tian Yu’s fanboy.

"Don't say that. I regret saving them now. If it weren't for these humans holding us back, the world that was cut off would still have a chance to recover to the level of the big world."

Tianyu waved his hand, looking a little regretful about his behavior back then.

"Thank you, senior."

After he said this, Fang Chen and Ye Qingyang looked at each other and bowed to him together.

No matter what, he was once the savior of today's human beings and deserves this worship.

"Senior, could it be that the so-called pollution is related to the blood sacrifice method of the demon cultivators?"

After standing up, Fang Chen thought of another question and continued to ask.

"It's not related. The first batch of demon cultivators were actually the group of immortal dynasty cultivators who fell in the past."

When Tianyu said this, even Longjia showed a surprised expression on his face.

"That's not right. Now that their descendants have been exposed to pollution, will those predecessors who have lived in harmony with the Tao still protect them?"

It was Fang Chen who was keenly aware that something was wrong.

Since those five seniors chose to sacrifice themselves in order to save the world of cultivation, and the people they want to protect have begun to pose a threat to the world of cultivation, will they just sit back and do nothing?
"After they have merged their bodies with the Dao, they no longer have any self-awareness. They can be seen as computer programs that run automatically and only execute orders mechanically."

Fang Chen’s eyes widened at what Tianyu said.

It’s not that the information contained in it is so unimaginable, but the four words "computer program" don’t sound like something someone in the world of cultivation can say.

Speaking of which, he just said that the word "Riddler" does not exist in the world of cultivation, but Fang Chen is very clear about its origin.

"Computer program?"

Sure enough, both Long Jia and Ye Qingyang expressed doubts about this term.

"A complex array structure."

Tianyu's expression remained unchanged as he explained as a matter of course.

The questions of Long Jia and the other two were answered.

Only Fang Chen was speechless. Then he thought, this person has lived for at least tens of thousands of years. It is normal for a world to have two time travelers in tens of thousands of years.

What's more, this is a world full of disasters.

In the world of gods, I wonder how many heroes would be deceived and deceived by the goddess.

"In other words, the power that once protected this world has begun to protect the world destroyer?"

Fang Chen did not dwell on the issue of Tianyu being a suspected time traveler, but continued to talk about business.

"Unfortunately, this is the truth, so I need your strength?"

Tianyu also had a look of emotion on his face. He had once guided the five people who were in harmony with the Tao, and he could be considered their guide.

It’s a pity that when the Immortal Dynasty collapsed, he was also polluted and was unable to save the world of cultivation by uniting himself with the Tao.

Otherwise, you will never fall behind.

"Our strength?"

Long Jia and Ye Qingyang looked at each other. It was Tianyu's idea to come to the guesthouse to talk.

But before they got down to business, Fang Chen asked a series of questions. Coincidentally, they were interested, so they didn't interrupt.

And when Tianyu said this, it was obvious that he wanted to talk about this matter.

"It's not you."

Tianyu shook his head at Long Jia and Ye Qingyang, then looked at Fang Chen: "It's your strength."

"what?"

Fang Chen was stunned. He was alone, so where did you come from?

However, Tianyu's words were not finished yet: "I need your help to revive the Moon God."
