If it was really that simple, it might be better, but if it was not simple, if it was as he guessed, then... maybe the world was really going to end.
"Brother! What did you figure out? Why don't you tell me?"
Qi Delong suddenly realized that maybe Yue Fengqing had figured out something, touched the truth, and knew why the catastrophe had come again after only a thousand years? But maybe the reason was too serious, so he didn't tell him.
"Junior brother, this matter is hard to explain, but I am just guessing."
Yue Fengqing saw Qi Delong's eyes and knew his temper. Once he wanted to know something, he would definitely check it out. Instead of asking Qi Delong to let him check and alarm that person, it would be better to let him tell Qi Delong directly so that he could be mentally prepared.
Yue Fengqing looked at his junior brother Qi Delong and knew that Qi Delong would not give up unless he told him the truth, so he decided to tell him the truth.
"Junior brother, do you know why, for so many years, since the great disaster a thousand years ago, no one with a cultivation level above the Nascent Soul stage has appeared on the entire continent?"
"Is it because of the great disaster?" Qi Delong guessed.
Yue Fengqing nodded: "Although there are rumors that the Saint Lord and Mo Ning of the Western forces have broken through the Nascent Soul stage, I know that they have not broken through the Nascent Soul stage, at most they are only at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul. Even though they all have immortal weapons, they have not successfully broken through the Nascent Soul stage and reached above the Nascent Soul stage."
"Originally, there are two realms of cultivation above the Nascent Soul, namely Hexu and Dujie. However, apart from the Hexu and Dujie masters who appeared a thousand years ago, no one has broken through to Hexu today, a thousand years later. Breaking through to Hexu is not as simple as breaking through to the Nascent Soul by practicing. It also requires opportunity and enlightenment. Only when all three are present can one successfully break through to the Hexu realm, let alone reach Dujie."
"Then...it's been so long since the disaster a thousand years ago. What caused it?"
"It's the spiritual energy value."
"Spiritual energy value?" Qi Delong was a little confused: "Does the spiritual energy value refer to the spiritual energy saturation in the air of the continent?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. You already know what the spiritual energy saturation was a thousand years ago without me having to tell you."
Qi Delong nodded. He had also lived a thousand years ago, so he naturally knew what the saturation of spiritual energy was a thousand years ago. It could be said that the saturation of spiritual energy a thousand years ago was dozens of times higher than it is now. So Qi Delong understood what Yue Fengqing meant.
"Could it be that the great disaster a thousand years ago caused a serious depletion of spiritual energy across the entire continent, which is why no one has reached the state of Hexu or transcended the tribulation in all these years?"
"Yes."
Yue Fengqing nodded, then sighed and said, "It is precisely because of this that no one in the entire continent has yet to break through the Nascent Soul stage. Even the most powerful Northerners may not have broken through. So I noticed that the monsters have been rioting frequently recently, and the great disaster that happened a thousand years ago seems to be coming again. The troubles from a thousand years ago have not yet subsided, and now a great disaster is about to come again. It is hard for me to imagine what it will be like."
"Maybe, it won't happen?" Qi Delong himself didn't believe it, so even if Yue Fengqing didn't say anything, Qi Delong knew what it meant.
