After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 312 Wasteland

After bidding farewell to the little Taoist boy, Lin Shuyue slowly walked to the back mountain of the Taoist temple and found an empty pavilion to sit down.

It was almost noon and the sun was already overhead. It was the hottest time of the day in the hot summer. There were only a few pilgrims scattered in the pavilion in the back mountain, enjoying the cool air and chatting.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Xuebao, who was released from the space by Lin Shuyue, lay on her legs, staring at her with a pair of black eyes, with some worry in his eyes.

It seemed like my sister had been worried since she heard the legend told by that strange old man.

Lin Shuyue came back to her senses when she heard Olaf's voice in her mind. She lowered her head to meet Olaf's eyes, and seeing the worry in them, she gently squeezed their paws. "I'm fine, I'm just a little confused."

I was wondering why the so-called cultivation method mentioned by the old Taoist was exactly the same as the cultivation method in the world of cultivation.

But there is no spiritual energy in this world at all, and through the investigation with her spiritual sense just now, she can be sure that the old Taoist is a master with strong internal strength, but he is not a cultivator.

So, how did the old Taoist know the cultivation method? Was it just a random coincidence?

Or is it because there once were immortal cultivators in this world?

If that is the case, why can't we find any trace of spiritual energy now?

It would be fine if she had not embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. It would be completely sufficient for her to have supernatural powers and internal strength.

But now she possesses the mustard seed space and has practiced the supreme immortal cultivation technique. With such an immortal fate, how can she not yearn for and yearn for the path to immortality?

At first, she thought it was a rare blessing to have such good fortune and she should learn to be content. But then she thought carefully and realized that she was not sure whether her parents and two brothers could practice cultivation. If not, their lifespan would be at most a hundred years.

When your loved ones pass away, you will be left alone in this world. How lonely it would be. Instead of living like this, you might as well seize the opportunities that come to you and strive to climb the road to heaven.

However, although there is spiritual energy in the space, it is completely insufficient in this mortal world where there are no laws of heaven.

If one wants to make a higher breakthrough, the only way is to leave this barren mortal world and go to the world of cultivation where the laws of nature are perfect as described by Xue Bao.

Thinking of this, she looked down at Xuebao, "Xuebao, you came from the world of cultivation. Is there any way to leave this world and return to the world of cultivation?"

"Sister, there are nine thousand worlds in this world: the upper three thousand worlds, the middle three thousand worlds, and the lower three thousand worlds.

In my memory, each interface has a channel leading to other interfaces, but..."

Olaf twitched his little nose and hesitated in his words.

"Just what?" Lin Shuyue asked quickly.

Xue Bao didn't keep the secret, "In the three thousand worlds below, if the heavenly way of a small world collapses and the spiritual energy is exhausted, this world will become a wasteland and become a place without any spirit.

If I'm not mistaken, the realm we're in now should be one of the waste realms in the lower three thousand realms."

"Wasteland?"

Lin Shuyue frowned slightly. If it was a wasteland, would this passage still exist?

Thinking of this, she asked directly.

“Generally speaking, after the spiritual energy disappears, the boundary of the wasteland will slowly disappear over time.

Once it completely disappears, the living beings within the realm will never be able to leave it, unless a powerful being from another realm tears the void apart from the outside."

But the possibility of this is almost zero. It is difficult for a powerful cultivator to notice a wasteland, Xue Bao thought a little discouraged.

Lin Shuyue understood what it meant, but she felt somewhat unwilling to accept it. "Is there any other way?"

"Yes, that is to cultivate to the Mahayana realm. Only by cultivating to the Mahayana realm can one tear through the void and go to other realms..." Xue Bao's voice gradually became lower.

"Mahayana monk?"

There are eight realms of cultivation for cultivators, namely: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Fusion, Mahayana, and Tribulation Crossing.

Lin Shuyue sighed. She was currently practicing the Qingyun Sect's most basic technique, the "Qingyun Jue". After she reached the foundation-building stage, she would switch to the Taichu Creation Sutra.

However, she only had the first half of the Taichu Creation Sutra in her hand, and could only cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Realm at most. This was under the premise that the laws of heaven were perfect. Otherwise, in this world, relying solely on the spiritual energy of the space, it would be the limit to cultivate to the Golden Core Stage.

Noticing Olaf's depressed look, Lin Shuyue came back to her senses and rubbed its little head to comfort it.

She understood Xuebao's feelings. Xuebao's desire to return to the world of cultivation should be even stronger than hers. After all, he was different from Weifeng and Xiao Huihui.

Xuebao was originally a spiritual beast from the world of cultivation. If he had not been teleported to this world by the system, he should still be practicing step by step in the world of cultivation, accompanied by fellow tribesmen.

Now here, it has to stay in the space most of the time, and has to disguise itself when it leaves the space, for fear that others will discover its extraordinaryness and cause trouble.

It's not just Olaf, but also Little Gray and Weifeng. Their special characteristics limit their freedom.

Therefore, whether for herself or for them, she still has to try her best to find a way to leave this world.

Besides, Xuebao is still a cub in the world of cultivation after all, and his knowledge is limited. Perhaps there are methods that he doesn't know about.

Lin Shuyue let out a sigh. She was still just a rookie in the Qi Refining Stage, so it was too early to say anything.

"Okay, don't think too much. Maybe one day we'll find a way to leave here."

If I really can't find it, I'll wait until my relatives are a hundred years old and then take the three little ones to find a paradise to live in seclusion.

She touched Olaf's little head, and Olaf squinted his eyes and rubbed her palm with his head tilted.

After having a vegetarian meal in the temple, Lin Shuyue planned to go down the mountain. When passing by the ancient tree in front of the temple, the old Taoist priest under the tree had disappeared.

It was already afternoon when we returned to the inn in Luochuan County. The two little girls, Qinghe and Qingzhi, were not in the room. They were probably hanging out at the embroidery workshop again.

With nothing else to do and not wanting to go out again, Lin Shuyue simply closed the door and entered the space to practice.

In the next few days, Lin Shuyue practiced diligently in the space, while the two little girls Qinghe and Qingzhi were still busy trying to lure out the murderer.

In order to avoid arousing the murderer's suspicion, the two little girls found a small courtyard in an alley near the embroidery workshop and rented it for a short period of time, and paid one month's rent.

After renting the house, the two of them said goodbye to Lin Shuyue and packed their luggage and moved in. Afterwards, they took some snacks and visited their neighbors.

So in less than a day, everyone in the alley knew that the new neighbors were a pair of sisters with miserable lives.

It is said that the sisters came from the capital. Their father was killed by bandits while doing business outside last month. Their mother fell ill after hearing the bad news and passed away in less than half a month, leaving the two sisters to depend on each other.

It was tragic enough that two relatives had passed away, but before the seventh day had passed after their mother's death, those uncles and aunts came to the house to seize the family's money and shop, and even set their sights on the two sisters.

The two sisters had no choice but to flee Beijing and go to Chizhou to seek refuge with their aunt.
