After everyone finished eating Chu Jun's roasted fish, they sat by the campfire and chatted. There was still an alluring fragrance of meat in the air. Shen Xiaobao was salivating as he pointed at Jiang Shan. Chu Jun realized that it wasn't useless to have someone chatting with him. At the very least, he could relieve the boredom and understand a lot of things.
At this moment, Shen Xiaobao was talking about the legends of the Ancient Fallen Immortal Age. He opened his eyes wide and said colorfully, "You know what? Almost all the cultivators were annihilated overnight. Only a small number of them were lucky enough to survive. Tsk tsk, that's too terrifying!"
Chu Jun was amused. There were no chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, or other weapons of mass destruction in this world. How could it be possible for countless cultivators to be annihilated overnight? Seeing Chu Jun's disapproving expression, Shen Xiaobao hurriedly said, "Chu Jun, you don't believe me?"
Chu Jun smiled and shook his head, "That's as mysterious as what you said. I don't believe anyone has the ability to kill everyone overnight!"
Shen Xiaobao 's thin face flushed red like a cockfight. He raised his voice and said, "Don't you believe it? The Guyuan Continent is thousands of kilometers in radius. Most of them are inhabited by spirit beasts. Only the three cities in the middle of the Spirit Mountain Range are inhabited by humans. Do you know why?"
Chu Jun shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Shen Xiaobao asked, "Then do you know how many people there are in the three cities combined?"
Chu Jun shook his head again. Shen Xiaobao proudly said, "It won't exceed 1.5 million yuan, which means that a city has an average of 500,000 yuan. One must know that the three major cities have existed for at least 10,000 years, but why is there such a small population?"
Chu Jun nodded and asked, "Why is everyone unwilling to add children?"
Ning Yun and Zhao Yu couldn't help but spit as soon as these words were spoken.
Shen Xiaobao chuckled and said, "Of course, this is also a reason. However, the main reason is that in the Ancient Fallen Immortal Age, humans were almost dead. Very few people survived. In addition, the living environment is extremely harsh. The vast wilderness is filled with dangers. How likely are two lucky survivors to meet each other?" What are the chances that the two of them are a man and a woman? What was the probability that this man and woman would look each other in the eye? If they are right, what are the chances of having a baby? They can't have children with older brothers marrying younger sisters, older sisters marrying younger brothers, so …!
"Pei pei! Stinky little treasure, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ning Yun reached out and grabbed Shen Xiaobao 's ear.
Shen Xiaobao chuckled and said, "Don't make any moves. My words aren't coarse … Where did you get off just now?"
"Big sister, little brother!" Xiaoxiao, who was in Chu Jun 's arms, said with a serious expression.
Shen Xiaobao laughed loudly, "Xiaoxiao is still the most serious. Listen to Big Brother Xiaobao continue!"
" Shen Xiaobao , be careful what you say. Don't teach Xiaoxiao a lesson!" Chu Jun said, somewhat confused.
Shen Xiaobao chuckled and continued, "So, it will take tens of thousands of years for the population to grow to its current size. Even so, the vitality of humans is still far from recovering. Even magic treasures above the third grade cannot be refined. This is the truth!"
Lin Ping said, "Although Little Treasure is exaggerating a bit, there is a certain truth to it. It is precisely the Ancient Fallen Immortal Incident that severely injured the Yuan Qi of humans. Many things have been lost. Take our Zhengtian Sect's Five Thunder Heavenly Arts for example. There are only the first three levels. Otherwise, I don't know how many Golden Core Stage experts there are in our sect!"
This was the first time Chu Jun had heard of it. He hurriedly asked, "Is there only three levels of the Five Thunder Heavenly Art?"
Zhao Yu sighed and said, "Indeed. Not only this sect, but also the Nine Heavens Art of Phoenix Dance of the Soaring Phoenix Pavilion only has the first three levels. Only the Lie Fa Sect has four levels of the Heaven Burning Inferno Technique. Because of this, the Lie Fa Sect has always been the single largest sect, and its strength surpasses the other two sects!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but ask, "So that's the case. Then won't we find a cultivation method ourselves?"
Everyone couldn't help but stare at Chu Jun as if they were idiots. Ruan Fang mocked him even more, "Creating your own cultivation technique, you are truly fantastic!"
Ning Yun hurriedly added, "That's right. The previous Sect Leader of the Soaring Phoenix Pavilion, Huang Potian, is a rare genius cultivator. He spent his entire life and effort to push out the fourth level according to the first three levels of the Nine Heavens Art of the Phoenix Dance. Even so, the fourth level he pushed out has great flaws and hidden dangers. Only he can practice it himself, and no one else in the sect can!"
" Chu Jun , do you think you can compare to Senior Huang Potian?" Ruan Fang said indifferently.
Chu Jun said calmly, "Chu Jun asks himself that he is not a rare genius in cultivation. Naturally, he cannot compare to Senior Huang Potian. However, the cultivation method we cultivate is created by our predecessors, so why can't we create it? Or do you think that the more humans live, the more they go back? Isn't our junior an idiot sooner or later?"
"Pu!" Zhao Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. He rolled his eyes at Chu Jun and said, "Stop arguing. Cultivation techniques are indeed created by humans. However, it's not like they can be created just by creating them. There must be great opportunities!"
Shen Xiaobao chuckled and said, "Senior Sister Zhao is right. Let's not talk about this. Besides, in the Ancient Era of the Fallen Immortals, what do you think is the reason for that? In one night, all cultivators were almost wiped out?"
Ning Yun curled his lips and said, "That must be a natural disaster. Other than this, there is no other power that is so terrifying!"
Zhao Yu also nodded and said, "That's right, according to the sporadic and incomplete records of our predecessors, it seems to be caused by Skyfire!"
Shen Xiaobao shook his head and said, "No, it's not. Other than fire, there's also white light in the records of our predecessors!"
Chu Jun frowned and asked doubtfully, "What kind of Heavenly Flame is it?"
Zhao Yu explained, "There are sporadic records from the ancient times. Those who survived that night saw the sky filled with blazing fire and white light flying everywhere. Mountains and earth collapsed, heaven and earth overturned, and the world fell into a long darkness!"
Ning Yun curled his lips and said, "Perhaps it was fabricated by our predecessors, but it can't be true!"
"So no one knows what caused it!" Zhao Yu nodded gently.
Shen Xiaobao pretended to be an expert and said, "Based on many years of research, I believe that the Ancient Fallen Immortal Incident was caused by war!"
Ruan Fang said indifferently, "War? With whom?"
Shen Xiaobao said confidently, "It's either an outsider force or a large-scale civil war!"
Ruan Fang said with disapproval, "Bullshit, what kind of war can end overnight!"
Shen Xiaobao said proudly, "No one said that it ended overnight. Those rumors that everyone died overnight are clearly infinitely exaggerated!"
Ruan Fang sneered and said, "Suppose it was indeed caused by the war, then there should be a victorious side. If it was an outsider, then we lost. These outsider forces should occupy this place!"
Ning Yun nodded and said, "That's right, Senior Brother Ruan is right!"
Shen Xiaobao argued with his neck in his arms, "You can't allow the two forces to fight until both sides are injured. The foreign forces will retreat, or our side will win miserably and annihilate all the other forces!"
"Yi, what Stinky Treasure said is reasonable!" Ning Yun nodded.
Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh and asked, "If it was an external force, what kind of force would it be?"
"Demon race!" Shen Xiaobao said loudly.
"Demon race?" Chu Jun asked in confusion.
Zhao Yu said softly, "Don't listen to Little Treasure's nonsense, where is there any demon race!"
Shen Xiaobao said discontentedly, "I'm not spouting nonsense. There really is a demon race. This matter is absolutely true. I've heard from Fatty Master!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but ask with interest, "What kind of demon chief is he?"
Shen Xiaobao said seriously, "He looks like us. He has eyes, nose, mouth, feet, stomach, and buttocks. Moreover, the men are very handsome, and the women are very beautiful!"
Ning Yun giggled and said, "Stinky little treasure, just blow it!"
"Yours Truly knows how to brag? Those demonic women aren't any weaker than you!" Old God Shen Xiaobao said.
Ning Yun said unconvincingly, "If you have the ability, capture one and compare it with this girl!" As he spoke, he confidently straightened out Wang Zi's small steamed bun.
Shen Xiaobao immediately withered and said resentfully, "Who knows where those demons are? Even if they stand in front of you, they won't be able to recognize them!"
Chu Jun asked doubtfully, "Don't the demons have any specific characteristics? Why are they still called demons like humans?"
Shen Xiaobao chuckled, "I heard fatty say that the ears of the demons are a bit sharp, but it's not obvious. Also, their strength is very different from our spiritual energy. As long as they make a move, they can tell!"
"I heard that demons cultivate by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, the Yuan Qi of flowers, plants, and trees. The demonic power they cultivate is completely different from spiritual power!" Lin Ping interrupted.
Chu Jun 's heart trembled violently, and his expression changed. He remembered the cultivation technique that the light shadow woman had taught him. Wasn't it to absorb the essence of the sun and moon? Could it be that she was actually a demon?
Chu Jun asked tentatively, " Shen Xiaobao , what would you do if you met a demon?"
Ning Yun took the lead and said, "There's no need to say that. Kill him!"
Ruan Fang said indifferently, "If you are not of my race, you must have a different heart. Everyone will be punished for this kind of race that is on the other side of the road!"
Shen Xiaobao scratched his head and said, "Let's talk about it when we have the chance. Perhaps he will be executed by someone else!"
Chu Jun frowned. He was very disgusted by this indiscriminate exclusion. It was because of different races and different methods of cultivation that he treated the other party as a mortal enemy. This was undoubtedly an extremely barbaric act.
Zhao Yu noticed that Chu Jun 's expression was not right. She said softly, "There are good and bad humans, and demons also have good and bad demons. I don't think it's necessary to kill them all like that. Isn't it good to get along with each other?"
Ruan Fang said unhappily, " Junior Sister Zhao , you're wrong. You're not of the same race as me. You must have ulterior motives. If we allow them to endure and wait for them to develop, the ones who will suffer in the end will probably be us humans, or even the extermination of our race!"
Lin Pingren couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Chu Jun said indifferently, "According to what you said, don't we have to kill all the other creatures, including your mount!"
Ruan Fang 's expression darkened as he said, "You're being so forceful. I'm too lazy to argue with you!"
"Stop arguing," Lin Ping said. "It's not clear whether the demon race exists or not. It's useless to argue about this. Let's all rest. We'll set off for Burning Heaven City tomorrow."
Rustle rustle rustle rustle
A tiny voice sounded, and Chu Jun 's expression changed slightly. He said in a deep voice, "What voice?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They all listened attentively. After a while, Ning Yun asked doubtfully, "No … Eh!"
At this moment, the rustling sound was getting closer and closer, and even Tie Shi and the other body cultivators could vaguely hear it.
"Snake!" Chu Jun shouted solemnly, "Hurry up and leave!"
