Chapter 169 The Location of the Earth's Will
"You can say that."

Long Yuan said: "But the will of the earth itself has no autonomous consciousness, only instinct. The one communicating with me now, and even... the one communicating with you before, is not the will of the earth itself, but the existence that once merged with the way of heaven. It is He who has been protecting the earth, but because the Golden Core Cave is sealed, it cannot manifest."

"So...what is the truth about Jindan Cave?"

Liang Xiao's heart moved and he roughly guessed the result.

Sure enough, Long Yuan answered: "The deepest part of the Golden Core Cave is where the main body of the Earth's will is located. It can also be regarded as the origin of the world of the Earth."

"Because the Jindan stage is the true entry stage for cultivators, this is the best stage to shape them."

"So the most suitable stage on Earth to receive inheritance is the Golden Core Stage."

"Before the Golden Core Cave was sealed, the Earth Will hoped that the Earthlings could become stronger, so they captured people everywhere in order to find those with sufficient potential."

"But after the Golden Core Cave is unsealed, you can enter it on your own initiative, and there is no need to hunt people everywhere."

Long Yuan said: "And I am the gatekeeper. You need my approval before you can enter the Golden Core Cave to receive the inheritance."

"What kind of inheritance is there in the Jindan Cave?" Liang Xiao was curious.

“There is no exact method.”

Long Yuan explained: "It is just witnessing history, broadening your horizons, improving your understanding, and purifying the human race's bloodline. However, the requirements are very high, because if your character is not good enough, it is easy to be distorted and become a slave who only knows how to serve the way of heaven. In other words, you become a fanatic believer in the will of the earth."

“Witnessing history?”

Liang Xiao's heart moved.

He had no interest in anything else, but he was very interested in this.

However, at this time, Long Yuan said again: "The reason why we set the restriction that only those in the Jindan stage can enter is to protect ourselves and prevent those with super strength from entering and taking over the body of Tiandao."

At this point, he looked at Liang Xiao with deep eyes, with a hint of warning: "The Will of the Earth told me that you have amazing potential. Even if your current cultivation is too low and your strength is insufficient, you can at least become an existence comparable to the Will of the Earth in the future. In addition... due to the status issue, beings of the same level cannot inherit from each other, so the inheritance of the Golden Core Cave is invalid for you."

"..."

Liang Xiao looked at Long Yuan expressionlessly.

Long Yuan refused to give in and looked at Liang Xiao without fear.

After a long while, Liang Xiao smiled and said, "I am not interested in the so-called inheritance. I just want to see the history."

"History is nothing interesting. I can tell you anything you want to know," said Long Yuan.

Liang Xiao asked bluntly, "Who is the current will of the Earth?"

“You should have heard of it.”

Long Yuan replied: "Her name is Wa."

"Oh?"

Liang Xiao was surprised, but not too surprised.

After all, he is one of the unavoidable existences in myths and legends.

Long Yuan continued, "He was one of the leaders among the ancient cultivators. Countless years ago, in order to prevent the will of the heaven in the cultivation world from encroaching on the will of the earth, he merged with the heaven and severed his connection with the cultivation world. As a result, some people later became self-righteous and thought that cultivators should not interfere in the mortal world. They sealed the Golden Core Cave with the Supreme Array, cutting off the connection between heaven and earth, causing the spiritual energy to ebb. They reaped the consequences and now have the declining earth."

"..."

This history is very different from the history of Jue Tian Di Tong on Earth in the previous life.

But that's true, after all, it's not the same Earth.

Liang Xiao asked curiously: "The cultivation world is very strong? Even the ancient cultivators can't resist it?"

"That's not it."

Long Yuan explained: "In ancient times, the Earth was a transit station for all the worlds. You should know that to be a transit station, the strength must not be too weak. In fact, the cultivation world is just a branch of us Earthlings."

"Then why..." Liang Xiao was puzzled.

Why did that person want to cut off ties with the world of cultivation?
"Because there is a world tree in the world of cultivation." Long Yuan explained: "That world tree gave birth to consciousness, completely replaced the will of the heaven of the cultivators, and can devour the will of the heavens and myriad worlds."

"That Jianmu tree?" Liang Xiao was surprised.

"You know that Jianmu tree? That makes it much easier to explain."

Long Yuan nodded: "The Jianmu tree in the cultivation world originally belonged to the Earth, but was later moved by a powerful being to a small world in the myriad worlds, which is now the cultivation world. At that time, the cultivation world was very weak. After Jianmu moved there, it supported the heaven and earth, and easily replaced the Heavenly Dao of that small world, and grew rapidly with the help of that powerful being."

"Could it be that the powerful man finally took over Jianmu's body?" Liang Xiao guessed.

"I don't know."

Long Yuan replied, "Anyway, Jianmu seemed to have a real consciousness later on, and led the powerful cultivators to fight everywhere, encroaching on the will of the Heavenly Dao of the myriad worlds, including the Earth. That's why he had to merge himself with the Heavenly Dao, cutting off his connection with the cultivation world, and even with the myriad worlds. It wasn't until more than two hundred years ago that Jianmu grew to a terrifying degree and opened the passage to the Earth again."

At this point, he said solemnly: "Because Jianmu cannot directly search for the heavens and myriad worlds, it can only search through the Earth as a transit station, so its ultimate goal is to encroach on the Earth's will, using the Earth as a seesaw to devour the Heavenly Dao will of the heavens and myriad worlds."

"That's pretty ambitious."

Liang Xiao sighed, finally knowing the truth about the invasion of the earth by the cultivation world.

"I've told you everything I can tell you."

Long Yuan said: "Now, can you please help me unseal the Golden Core Cave?"

"You can't solve it yourself?" Liang Xiao asked in surprise.

"I'm not qualified yet."

Long Yuan shook his head: "I only gained some power, but this power only allows me to suppress others in the outer area of ​​​​the Golden Core Cave. As for my comprehension and attainments in formations, there is not much change. If I were given tens of thousands of years, maybe I could do it, but now I can't."

"...tens of thousands of years?"

Liang Xiao was stunned.

"...What's that look in your eyes?"

Long Yuan felt that he was being looked down upon. He could not help but argue, "The formation that seals the Golden Core Cave was perfected by ancient cultivators over countless years, and has been optimized and upgraded by countless geniuses and powerful people. I am just a normal person, not a pervert."

"..."

Liang Xiao didn't argue with the waste and asked, "I can help you unlock the Golden Core Cave, but what's the benefit?"

"Didn't that person give you benefits before?" Long Yuan frowned.

When he was communicating with the will of the earth, he already knew that the stream of light that fell from the sky was Liang Xiao's attack.

And the attack was launched from thousands of kilometers away.

This was also one of the reasons why he was shocked at the time.

"That was the deal at the time, and it is completely different from unsealing the Jindan Cave."

Liang Xiao shook his head: "This Jindan Cave is not so easy to unlock."

"You find it difficult too?"

Long Yuan's heart moved, and he was secretly happy, thinking that Liang Xiao was not as perverted as he had imagined.

He immediately communicated with the will of the Earth.

Because the Earth's will is now in a sealed state, even Liang Xiao cannot take the initiative to communicate with the Earth's will. Only he can do it.

A few minutes later, he looked at Liang Xiao again: "Didn't the will of the earth give you the luck of an area before? That area was one thousand square kilometers before. If you unlock the Golden Core Cave, that area can be expanded to ten thousand square kilometers."

"Only ten thousand?" Liang Xiao was a little dissatisfied.

"Do you know what 10,000 square kilometers means? That is equivalent to an area comparable to the branch school of your Daluo Academy, and in that area, you are a god, almost the same as I am here." Long Yuan curled his lips.
