I am a support player in the cultivation world

Chapter 176 The whole story of the foul air

Qing Miao led everyone away from Guiquan Soldiers' Tomb. At the moment of leaving, Lin Fuping felt a spatial fluctuation.

It was just like... the fluctuations I felt when I entered the secret realm twice. It was also mixed with a familiar but unrememberable power fluctuation.

Qing Miao saw Lin Fuping's confusion and explained.

"The Guiquan Weaponry and Cangjiaoyuan were both built with the help of the Ji family."

Cangjiaoyuan?

I remember that this kind of fluctuation occurred when I was escaping from Cangjiaoyuan. But...

"Ji family?"

Lin Fuping is puzzled

"Well, you are a disciple of the Sword Sect, so you should also know the Ji family in Zhongzhou."

Because the message Bai Hanshi gave him only contained Lin Fuping's personal information, but did not tell him her background.

So Qingmiao didn't know that Lin Fuping had connections with both Zhongzhou families.

"I know."

Lin Fuping looked a little strange, but Qing Miao didn't know why, so he just continued:

"The Bingzhong is a space opened up by the Ji family. Like Cangjiaoyuan, it has an eighth-level formation. This formation can prevent things with foul air from leaving.

Now that they can come out, it proves that there is no foul air in them."

Lin Fuping understood why the Cangjiaoyuan was connected to the South China Sea, but the sea monsters could not come out.

But Lin Fuping soon felt something was wrong. If the mermaids with foul aura could not get out, would they have to wait for death in the soldiers' grave? If this continued, the mermaids would have been wiped out long ago.

Qing Miao also knew that there were loopholes in what he said, so he continued to explain

"We, the mermaids, are the only race on Kunling Continent that can deal with foul energy."

Qing Miao glanced at Lin Fuping and said silently in his heart: Before you appeared.

“Mermaids can fight in foul air and absorb it into their bodies. As long as it is not invaded too much and we have enough time, we can purify it.

But there is one exception, that is, if we are injured by an evil beast, the evil spirit will enter our body through the blood in the wound. In that case, it is irreversible, and the injured mermaid will be sent to Cangqiaoyuan.

This is probably the downside of our talent for purification!

If you humans get injured, there will be no problem as long as you take medicine or remove the injured part in time before you are completely infected.

But the corresponding human race cannot survive in the foul air for long, nor can they purify the foul air.

The reason why the injured and infected mermaids could not be killed was because the mermaids at that time had become containers of foul air.

If it is not a natural death, the foul air will burst out. That is when it will be troublesome."

"Oh no! Then last time I..."

Lin Fuping recalled the sword he had swung last time in Cangjiaoyuan.

But...I guess the Siren wasn't killed!

Because she received no experience or gold at that time.

Lin Fuping is a little uncertain

Qing Miao also knew that Lin Fuping tried to save them last time, and that she did not kill the mermaid at the beginning.

"That was a last resort. Besides, not every member of our clan sent to the Cangqiao Abyss can die naturally.

So every hundred years, a tribe member would go in and absorb the foul air. So as long as there wasn't a large-scale death of the tribe members in Cangjiaoyuan, the balance could be maintained."

"Miao Lao..."

Lin Fuping hesitated for a moment, but finally asked:

"What exactly is this foul air you mentioned? Where does it come from?"

Qing Miao sighed

“All the major forces know about these things. Logically speaking, Bai Hanshi would have told you when you reached the Refining Void stage.

But the situation is special now, and with your qualifications, it is only a matter of time before you know it, so I will tell you in advance."

Afterwards, Lin Fuping understood the current situation of Kunling Continent from Qingmiao's narration.

Many years ago, before the mermaids appeared, the continent shook violently and a great catastrophe occurred between heaven and earth.

The way of heaven disappeared, mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and the sea water flooded back. In an instant, all living things were devastated.

After the shaking, foul air appeared, and within the foul air there were foul beasts.

Foul energy can corrode a person's mind and demonize their body. As long as they are in the foul energy, they will be assimilated into foul beasts that only know how to attack their own kind, devour their flesh and blood, and spread the foul energy.

The lower the cultivation level of a person, the shorter the time they can last in the foul air.

As the foul air became more and more abundant, all living beings on Kunling Continent were defeated and relegated to Central Continent.

At this time, the mermaid appeared.

They used their bodies as containers and the strength of their entire clan to trap the foul air at the bottom of the South China Sea, suppressing and purifying it generation after generation.

The remaining beasts on the continent were handed over to the forces that still existed at that time.

The secret realm of the four major families was left behind when they wanted to fight to the death.

After the catastrophe, before anyone could figure out where the foul air came from, a chaotic soul storm appeared.

Seeing that only one human being was left on the continent, Li Xuanzhong, the ancestor of the Li family, tried to gain a glimpse of the way of heaven with his cultivation of a quasi-immortal who had transcended tribulations. In the end, he died and disappeared, with no afterlife.

But it also left behind some information that was glimpsed.

Finally, Ji family ancestor Ji Wuchang, based on the information, took all the high-level cultivators of the Ji family at that time and sacrificed their own flesh and blood and souls to set up the only tenth-level formation on the continent - the Kuntian Soul Guarding Formation.

This formation will concentrate the foul air in the South China Sea, which will be purified by the mermaids.

The foul beasts that appeared were transported to places guarded by other forces and killed. The foul air that appeared after being killed was then transported to the South China Sea for purification.

It goes on and on in this cycle.

Those who are not able to cultivate enough will stay in the safe zone of the mainland, build their homes, cultivate a new generation of cultivators, and go to guard the place.

In the past ten thousand years, the foul air has increased, and the Kuntian Soul Guarding Formation has frequently made mistakes.

This led to the appearance of foul beasts in the South China Sea, and many mermaids were infected and turned into sirens.

The major forces require the cultivators who go to guard the battlefield to have their cultivation levels gradually improved from the Nascent Soul and God Transformation cultivators at the beginning to the Fusion cultivators now being required to participate in the battlefield.

In order to maintain internal stability, all major forces jointly formulated rules that can only be known by cultivators at least at the Nascent Soul stage and above.

Lin Fuping is the first cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage who knows all of this.

Lin Fuping just feels confused now.

She had always believed that life was peaceful in Kunling Continent, but she didn't expect that someone was carrying a heavy burden and moving forward.

Did this Tiandao pull me in so that I could get rid of these foul spirits?

That makes sense... As long as you don't want to kill yourself.

And the Ji family... I didn't expect that they were actually heroes of the mainland.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Jiang family did not confront the Ji family!

However, he did not want to confront the Ji family. After all, his only enemies were Ji Tang, Ying Wushang, Ji Yu and others.

But Ji Tang and Ji Yu have a high status in the Ji family. How can we get rid of them without offending the Ji family?

As for letting Lin Fuping return to the Ji family...

She hadn't thought about it.

It was an inhumane family and Lin Fuping didn't like it.

"You have a conflict... with the Ji family?"

Qing Miao looked at Lin Fuping and saw that she was in deep thought. He remembered the expression on Ji Jia Lin Fuping's face when he first mentioned her, and asked with some concern.

After all, the continent was in crisis, and he didn't want Lin Fuping, a cultivator who could remove the evil spirit, to confront the Ji family. Especially since she was a disciple of the Sword Sect.

With two major forces confronting each other, how can we protect the continent?

"Ah, no."

Qing Miao felt relieved, and then heard Lin Fuping say

"I am not against the Ji family. I just have a life-and-death feud with the Ji family's elder and his daughter!"
