Chapter 1534 - 1532: Arrangements
"Wan’er, let’s go out shopping."
"That’s a good idea, Sister Wan’er, it’s been a long time since we went shopping together, right?"
"Shopping, taking a walk, strolling around, it’s nice."
...
Chu Meng saw that everyone had eaten too much and was the first to suggest something. Shopping for things was secondary, the main point was to get some exercise. Although they were now cultivators who could use Gang Qi to speed up digestion, doing so would take away the fun, so they generally didn’t do that. Upon hearing Chu Meng’s suggestion, Ding Wan’er and the others all agreed. After informing Lin Feng, they left.
Lin Feng wasn’t worried at all about the women leaving, he simply wished them to be safe and said no more. They were well aware of the situation in Tianhai, and now that the women were all in the Transcendent Realm, they were more than capable of handling ordinary matters, so there was no need to worry.
The women left happily together, without even taking the car. It had been a long time since they went shopping like this. Several women were very excited, especially Xia Lalan and Moyan, who wanted to seize this opportunity to learn more about the secular world since they didn’t know much about it.
Lin Feng watched them leave, smiled as he tidied up the tableware, sat on the sofa, and watched TV. Suddenly, he remembered something, and even called over Old Monster and other experts. Soon, many experts gathered around Lin Feng, and they were curious about why Lin Feng had called them, so they all looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
"Do you feel that anything special has happened recently?" Lin Feng asked, looking at everyone.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Lin Feng’s words, not understanding what he meant. But Old Monster suddenly remembered something and said to Lin Feng, "Recently, in the Spirit Realm, the Spiritual Energy has begun to gradually decline. Although it hasn’t yet decreased, the rate of growth has slowed down significantly. If it’s not controlled, it won’t be long before the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Realm starts disappearing."
As Old Monster discussed this, he was very concerned. The Spirit Realm was such a good place, and it would be a pity if the Spiritual Energy were to be exhausted because of everyone’s cultivation.
"Young Master, that’s exactly the situation I noticed too."
"Yes, while cultivating recently, we also vaguely felt it."
...
At this moment, Zhu Tao, Nangong He, and others also started to speak. After Old Monster’s reminder, they all remembered this matter, and they had all felt it too. Since the topic had been brought up, they all wanted to know what Lin Feng thought about this situation.
"This is normal. I brought back so many people, all of whom are in the Transcendent Realm, and they’ve grown too quickly due to their cultivation techniques, leading to a rapid consumption of Spiritual Energy. So, this situation is only natural," Lin Feng said calmly, having anticipated this long ago, so he wasn’t concerned. It’s perfectly normal for this to happen.
"But Lin Feng, if we let this continue, won’t the Spirit Realm be destroyed? If the Spirit Realm collapses, won’t all the previous efforts be in vain?" Old Monster immediately expressed his concern upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. In his view, some measures needed to be taken to protect the Spirit Realm and prevent further issues. No matter the cost, keeping the Spirit Realm intact was most important.
The others didn’t say anything at this point but nodded, agreeing with Old Monster. The Spirit Realm was fundamental for everyone, and they couldn’t let anything happen to it. They all looked to Lin Feng, wanting to know how he planned to solve this issue.
Seeing everyone’s anxious expressions, Lin Feng understood their thoughts. So, he proactively spoke to everyone: "Actually, the situation might not be as bad as you think."
"?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why do you say that?"
...
Perplexed by Lin Feng’s words, Old Monster and the others all turned their eyes to him, wanting to understand what he meant by this.
"This time, when I was in the Middle East, I killed a Blood Devouring Dragon Lizard, which allowed me to sense a peculiar aura; it seems that the Spiritual Energy of the world is undergoing some transformation. Although the Spiritual Energy is nearly depleted, this may not be a sign of its complete disappearance. On the contrary, we might still have a glimmer of hope."
Looking at everyone, Lin Feng spoke again. These things would sooner or later need to be revealed to Old Monster and the others, so it was better to tell everyone now. On his way back from the desert, he had been paying attention to the Spiritual Energy of the world. Indeed, the quantity had decreased, but there were some subtle changes that only he noticed. Therefore, Lin Feng believed this decline in Spiritual Energy was not the end but perhaps the beginning of something.
"Ah!"
"How is this possible?"
"Young Master, why do you say that?"
...
Everyone was even more confused by Lin Feng’s words, finding them hard to believe. The Spiritual Energy in the secular realm was on the brink of collapse, which was why the Spirit Realm’s absorption rate was slow. And now, Lin Feng suggested there was still hope. They couldn’t comprehend what this hope entailed.
"Have you ever thought about this: Why have mystical beasts been waking up all over the world recently, causing chaos? While the influence of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins is there, these beasts were waking up even after it disappeared. This abnormal phenomenon speaks volumes."
Everyone was dumbfounded by Lin Feng’s words. Honestly, none of them had considered this. Lin Feng was right; many mystical beasts indeed began waking up during this period. They had rushed to eliminate them as soon as they found out but never considered why these beasts would awaken now. Could it be, as Lin Feng said, that the Spiritual Energy of the world was undergoing a transformation?
"Young Master, what should we do next?" Zhu Tao chose to trust Lin Feng and asked him, eager to know Lin Feng’s next steps. He didn’t need to know the details, just the tasks at hand, as he was confident Lin Feng wouldn’t let the Spirit Realm face any trouble.
"It’s simple. Old Monster, try to establish connections globally, with various sectors and nations. Whenever a mystical beast appears, we should go and offer support to eliminate them; also, treat it as training. If you can’t handle even mystical beasts, there’s no reason for you to be here. Remember, deal with them decisively. Once you’ve slain these beasts, bring back their essence blood to sustain the Spirit Realm temporarily without issues."
"As for the other matters, leave them to me. I’ll find ways to fundamentally resolve this crisis. No matter what, the Spirit Realm won’t face real danger. What you need to do is to eliminate the appeared mystical beasts and collect their essence blood. Leave the rest to me."
Lin Feng explained in detail while assigning tasks. From the moment of his return, he had been pondering over these matters. He had found a formation in his teacher’s Ancient Book that could ease the Spirit Realm’s Spiritual Energy demand. The core of the formation required the essence blood of mystical beasts, and the higher the beast’s level, the better the quality of the essence blood; thus, more Spiritual Energy could be stimulated. So the best solution was this method for now.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s plan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was reassuring that Lin Feng had a solution. Their fear was only the lack of one. Moreover, Lin Feng’s method was simple to execute, and with mystical beasts appearing worldwide that ordinary people couldn’t handle, by doing this, they would also be helping the public, killing two birds with one stone. No one opposed after hearing the plan.
"Lin Feng, I suddenly remembered something—obtaining mystical beasts’ essence blood requires killing them. What if we corner them, and they self-detonate, doesn’t that mean all our efforts are in vain?" Old Monster suddenly thought of this. Lin Feng had nearly been blown up; what if they encountered such a situation?
Lin Feng acknowledged Old Monster’s concern—such situations could indeed happen. After a moment’s thought, he said to Old Monster, "This can be easily resolved. I’ll spare some time to forge special Dharma Treasures; if a mystical beast tries to self-detonate, you can just pierce it into their body, and the detonation will stop."
"Then there’s no problem!"
"Without self-detonation, dealing with mystical beasts should not be difficult."
"Yes, this task becomes easier to accomplish."
...
Everyone was thrilled after hearing Lin Feng’s solution, speaking to him with great delight. They were genuinely relieved; if mystical beasts’ self-detonation could be prevented, dealing with typical beasts was within their capabilities. If they couldn’t, there was always Xia Lalan. If even Xia Lalan cannot handle it, there’s Lin Feng—so they didn’t believe a beast existed they couldn’t defeat. Thus, the Spirit Realm’s problem was temporarily resolved.
With all issues settled, everyone dispersed to resume their respective duties while Lin Feng entered the Spirit Realm to check on the training situation at the cultivator school. He was also concerned about the progress of Xue Dakun’s group in their training. He then went on to visit one of the busiest commercial streets in Tianhai City, Nanyue Street, without bringing the car.
