After all, there was still a gap in strength between him and this person. Having more trump cards would allow him to deal with any dangers more easily. More importantly, this person didn't dare to come out and meet Luo Xiu. Perhaps it was this person's pretense that gave Luo Xiu a strange sense of familiarity. Inexplicably, Luo Xiu felt a desire to find out more. Although it wasn't strong, it still filled his heart with curiosity.
"Haha, Old Man knew it. Although there are people in this world who can use the Law of Lightning, at least in the Netherworld Abyss Realm, it's impossible for anyone to comprehend the Law of Lightning like you. Therefore, there must be a problem with your identity. Seeing that you're so tactful, Old Man won't say anything more. I'm Ling Tian, the elder of the Azure Sea Mountain Holy Land from 30,000 years ago!
As for where this place is, it's a small plane world of my Azure Sea Mountain Holy Land. Old Man's current situation is because he was heavily injured in that battle. The skeletons you see are all disciples of my Azure Sea Mountain Holy Land!
Back then, under a conspiracy, all the higher-ups of my Azure Sea Mountain Holy Land were wiped out, leaving only Old Man who avoided being implicated due to his unique offensive skills. However, even so, Old Man is still struggling at death's door and hiding here, not daring to go out and take revenge! "
Ling Tian's aged voice carried a trace of desolation, but the words he said were very calm, and there was no hatred in them at all. This made Luo Xiu a little curious, and at the same time, he also muttered in his heart.
"Senior, please restrain your grief!
However, Senior, why are you telling me all this? Could it be that you want me to take revenge for you? That won't do. With my current strength, it's more like I'll be delivering food to others!
Moreover, how powerful is the person who destroyed your Azure Sea Mountain Holy Land? I'm just thinking about it. I don't even have the courage to walk in front of that person, not to mention that it's already been over thirty thousand years. From the situation at that time, I can clearly see that the power that destroyed your Azure Sea Mountain Holy Land was definitely extremely powerful. With my small physique, if I were to risk my life against that person, wouldn't that be just asking for trouble? "Luo Xiu revealed a smile and said with a strange tone.
"Brat, what are you thinking?
Old Man didn't want to take you as a disciple. I was just bored and wanted to find someone to talk to.
After all, I've been trapped here for thirty to forty thousand years. I've long given up on the idea of revenge. Over the years, Old Man has already gotten over it. After all, it was our sect's fault for being too arrogant and offending people we shouldn't have offended, which led to that tragedy!
Furthermore, it's hard to say if you'll be able to leave this place alive. It's not like I've placed all my hopes on you. Don't be like that. There's no point in being on guard. If I really wanted to scheme against you, you would have long been eaten clean by Old Man with your meager strength! "
Luo Xiu couldn't tell what Ling Tian's expression was like. However, Luo Xiu could hear the disdain in Ling Tian's voice. This caused Luo Xiu to be stunned for a moment before his expression turned strange.
It couldn't be helped. If it was before, Luo Xiu was certain that compared to the old man in the room, even if he made a request, the old man would probably turn a blind eye. However, since Ling Tian had already spoken, and from the meaning of his words, it was obvious that he was using such a method of provocation, Luo Xiu couldn't help but overthink.
Obviously, no matter how one looked at it, he didn't have much of an advantage when facing the scene before him. Needless to say, to him, he didn't know what had formed in this world, what dangers existed in this vast Crimson Wasteland, and the old man's solemn vow that he wouldn't be able to leave this place alive made him have a bad feeling. Although the old man didn't tell the truth, Luo Xiu was sure that part of the old man's words were absolutely true. At the very least, the existence of those skeletons was something that he had to take seriously.
As for the other things, it was very likely that some of them were just to scare him, but most of the content should be true. This was because this was from the perspective of that old guy. After all, the powerful Thunder Law that he had displayed before was indeed extremely destructive, but the consumption of energy would also be extremely terrifying.
Moreover, the boundless blood Qi in this world couldn't be absorbed by ordinary cultivators. This meant that Luo Xiu could only use the energy stored in his body. To Ling Tian who was in the room, it was obvious that he believed that no matter how powerful Luo Xiu was, there was still a big problem in fighting for a long time. It was because he grasped this point that he mistakenly believed that no matter how powerful Luo Xiu was, he would definitely be buried here.
"Senior, what do you mean by that?
What do you mean by I don't have a chance to leave this place alive?
Could it be that I can't get out of here at all, or does senior want to harm me?
Except for the large number of skeletons outside, there really isn't any danger here. I didn't even see a single powerful evil beast on my way here. Or is there a problem with this world itself? "Luo Xiu asked politely as he bowed slightly to the hut.
"Haha, you have some eyesight. Let me tell you, how did you come in here? This Old Man doesn't know, but this Old Man is sure that you definitely relied on a powerful cultivation to forcefully tear the space to have the opportunity to come in here!
To put it bluntly, with your luck to be able to come in, it shows that your luck is good enough. You have to know that many people want to barge in with a purpose, but it is impossible. For you to be able to come in here by accident, it shows that your luck is extremely deep. However, this is no longer the world of 30,000 years ago!
As early as after that war, the world had been completely transformed into what it was today. The cultivation resources that were extremely precious in the eyes of outsiders had been completely polluted and could not be used at all. Now, the entire Great Wasteland Domain had completely become a desolate place!
Furthermore, there is one thing that you probably don't know. Don't tell me you think that the true purpose of the Soul Devouring Banner in the square is to gather the blood Qi of this world. The true purpose of the Soul Devouring Banner is actually to protect this Evil Spirit City!
Now, the entire Great Wasteland Domain can be said to be extremely dangerous. As for why you didn't see any powerful evil beasts on your way here, the reason is actually very simple. In this world, when the evil beasts' strength reaches a certain level, they will be affected by the environment and completely lose their rationality. Then, they will turn into withered bones again and again in the Evil Spirit Storm!
You should have seen the situation of the skeletons in the city. Their fate was caused by the Evil Spirit Storm! "
Just when Luo Xiu thought that this old fellow would turn a blind eye to his question, Ling Tian's leisurely words sounded. The trace of mockery in his words made Luo Xiu's scalp tingle and his body stiffen. Cold sweat trickled down his back.
At this moment, thinking about the scene he had seen before, Luo Xiu's expression was exceptionally interesting. The information in the old fellow's words was really a little frightening. Not to mention other things, just the number of skeletons in this blood-red city was no less than a million. Such a large number of deaths of cultivators was actually caused by the deterioration of the natural environment here. This made Luo Xiu a little curious in his heart. Although he was extremely powerful, he did not have the confidence to guarantee that he would not be affected by the Evil Spirit Storm.
"Senior, you mean that once the Evil Spirit Storm descends, I will also be affected by the storm, and then completely die and become one of the skeletons?
What I am more curious about is why senior is telling me this. Since senior is still alive, it proves that there is a way to survive this Evil Spirit Storm. I see that senior's aura is extremely powerful, so you shouldn't have relied on sealing or destroying your own cultivation to avoid this Evil Spirit Storm. Could it be that senior's hut has a special place, or that by staying in this square, you can avoid the effects of the Evil Spirit Storm? "Luo Xiu seriously looked at the surrounding environment and could not help but ask.
At this moment, although he did not know when this Evil Spirit Storm would break out again, Luo Xiu had to take it seriously. There were many things that he could not handle by himself.
Although the biggest problem was that he couldn't be sure if this old fellow was spouting nonsense or not, Luo Xiu had to treat every word of this old fellow with caution just because of the countless skeletons. Moreover, the most important thing was that he didn't think that this old fellow would have any ulterior motives towards him.
"There is a way?
Haha, if there was a way, then the Old Man would not have hidden here for 10,000 years. To tell you the truth, even if the Old Man is still alive, he has to rely on the powerful spiritual treasure left behind by the Holy Gate to avoid the Evil Spirit Storm again and again. However, this situation will not last for long. After all, every time I use that spiritual treasure, I have to overdraft my lifespan. So even if you did not come this time, after a few hundred years, the Old Man will probably end up like those skeletons! "Ling Tian's words were full of loneliness and helplessness.
As Ling Tian's words fell, Luo Xiu could not help but feel some sympathy in his heart. What Luo Xiu did not expect was that he originally thought this old fellow was going to pinch him, but he did not expect him to say it so straightforwardly. This caused Luo Xiu to be shocked, and at the same time, he also felt the seriousness of the problem. The matter was obvious, this Baleful Soul Storm also had a great impact on Ling Tian who was in the small house.
Even if Ling Tian had a life-saving method, he would have to pay a great price to use it. This made Luo Xiu feel that he was in a dilemma. Although he was confident that whether it was the Delimitation Compass or the Magic Lamp of Time, he had to take one thing seriously. That was, if he used these heaven-defying treasures in front of this old fellow, would he attract the killing intent of this old fellow?
Although the possibility of this was not high, Luo Xiu still had to be careful. This was because he found it hard to believe that a stranger would have any moral integrity in the face of life and death. More importantly, this Ling Tian had revealed so many secrets to him. It was obvious that he did not have any good intentions. As for what he was planning, Luo Xiu did not know. However, Luo Xiu was sure that this old fellow was definitely plotting something against him.
"Then, may I ask Senior, how long is it until the next Evil Spirit Storm?
Senior, you didn't tell me so much just to tease me, right? You definitely have something that you need my help with, or perhaps Senior has some plan. Why don't you tell me the truth? Since I was able to come here by chance, it proves that we are fated to meet. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Senior, but after cultivating for so many years, I have yet to formally acknowledge a master. If Senior doesn't mind, this little one is willing to become Senior's disciple or become the successor of the Azure Sea Mountain Holy Land. I promise that as long as I have the chance to grow, I will definitely rebuild the Azure Sea Mountain! "Luo Xiu took a deep breath and said in an extremely serious tone.
At this moment, he didn't care what this old man was planning. For the time being, he had to understand the situation of this world, especially when the next Evil Spirit Storm came. Once he was prepared, Luo Xiu was confident that whether it was formations, restrictions, talismans, or any other means, even if it was technological, he had a way to preserve his life. If not, he could just dig a hole and bury himself, then use a special formation to completely isolate himself from this world. Although there was a great risk in doing so, Luo Xiu knew that as long as this Elder Ling Tian didn't have the intention to kill him, then his life wouldn't be in danger!
"Haha, it's not that this Old Man doesn't want to promise you, but that this Old Man is also powerless. You probably still have some delusions, right? Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you that even this Old Man isn't sure if we can survive the next Evil Spirit Storm. You can't possibly think that the Evil Spirit Storm is just an ordinary energy or soul attack, right? It's far more terrifying than you think. Once those things come, you and I won't be able to withstand them. Of course, it won't be a problem if we rely on our strength to withstand them, but it won't be an attack or two, but an attack that will last for a long period of time. At that time, I don't need to tell you what will happen!"
Ling Tian sighed, his tone filled with desolation. The trace of helplessness and sorrow in his words made Luo Xiu empathize with him.
"Senior, you don't need to worry about this. You only need to tell me how long it will be before the next Evil Spirit Storm. As for the rest, I will have to wait for the arrival of the Evil Spirit Storm before I know if I can withstand it. If I really can't, I won't seek Senior's protection at that time. You only need to protect yourself. With regards to defense, this little kid still has some confidence. After all, I have some methods that can allow me to deal with any kind of danger with ease. Especially the large scale attack that Senior mentioned, to me, it won't affect me at all!
Of course, Senior can also think that I'm bragging, but for me to be able to tear apart this space barrier and arrive here by chance, it proves that I have some special abilities. Senior doesn't need to deny this point!
As for whether I can survive at that time, that's not something that Senior needs to worry about! "
Seeing Ling Tian avoid the important point and dwell on the trivial, Luo Xiu's mouth could not help but twitch, and he directly asked.
