Chapter 673 A terrible guess
The thirty-five major states were originally places where innate spiritual energy was everywhere. There were many innate spiritual veins underground, all of which were rich in spiritual energy and were places created by heaven and earth. But now, except for the Zushenzhou, the other thirty-five major states are all barren lands, without any innate spiritual energy. Even if innate spiritual stone veins are discovered, there are only very few of them.

What made Zhang Qian feel sad was that if any of the thirty-five states discovered a little innate spirit stone vein, it would cause many forces to fight and kill each other, and the emergence of every innate spirit stone vein would result in rivers of blood.

Look here again, the countless sacred mountains in this small world are condensed from innate spirit stones. They are innate spirit stone sacred mountains. Thinking about those forces who have killed and shed rivers of blood for a little bit of innate spirit stone veins, Zhang Qian really feels sorry for them.

Something that countless people are willing to sacrifice their lives to fight for is like a stone on the roadside in the small world of the Jiutian Sect, and its value is even lower than that of a stone on the roadside.

In other people's small world, every sacred mountain is formed by the condensation of innate spirit stones, and no one knows how many innate spirit stone veins there are deep in the earth.

Zhang Qian could even imagine that perhaps many of the Jiutian Sect's disciples would secretly laugh from ear to ear and regard it as the biggest joke when they saw those outside forces and sects fighting each other for a small innate spirit stone vein, with rivers of blood flowing and countless grudges and hatreds.

However, this is the saddest thing for countless monks in the thirty-five states.

The countless innate spiritual veins beneath this small world and the sacred mountains formed by the condensation of innate spiritual stones originally belonged to the countless creatures in the thirty-five major states, and were also things that those countless creatures should have enjoyed.

But they were all taken away by the Jiutian Sect and almost completely looted.

This was even more vicious than the plan of wiping out an entire family, as it directly cut off the foundation of all cultivators in the world. Although the Jiutian Sect did not have many disciples, they were content to enjoy the resources of the thirty-five states combined.

In other words, the underlying resources of the thirty-five states supported the Jiutian Sect, a mere nine sects!
What a terrible thing this is. If a world wants to develop and advance, it not only needs to have sufficient world foundation, but also requires all cultivators in the world to be like dragons, comprehend countless rules and principles, feed back to the ocean of rules, and enhance the power of the origin of the way of heaven.

Only when both are improved together can the world advance rapidly.

It now seems that if the Xihuang World wants to advance, the Jiutian Sect must be eliminated.

The nine small thousand worlds of the Jiutian Sect contain all the innate spiritual veins of the thirty-six major states. If someone were to break up the nine small thousand worlds and allow these innate spiritual veins to return to the Xihuang World, then almost immediately, the foundation for the Xihuang World's advancement would be sufficient.

Unfortunately, having enough foundation alone is not enough. If the world wants to advance, the cultivators in the world must also grow to a certain level. The countless rules and principles comprehended by the cultivators are the key to the growth of the ocean of heavenly rules.

However, the Jiutian Sect monopolized 99% of the cultivation resources, but only provided them to a small number of cultivators, making it extremely difficult for most cultivators in the world to improve their cultivation. After all, there were not enough resources. As a result, the power of the origin of the Heavenly Dao was still far from reaching the level of world advancement.

Then Zhang Qian thought of an even more terrifying guess. At the beginning, the Jiutian Sect had defected to Taihuangtian of the Taihuang World. Taihuangtian’s plan for the Xihuang World was to force promotion, just for the moment of promotion, when the cosmic avenue would descend.

Therefore, it is impossible for Taihuangtian to allow the Xihuang World to be successfully promoted. In Taihuangtian's eyes, the value of the Xihuang World is to fail to be promoted again and again, and to attract the universe to comprehend it again and again. This is a terrible vicious circle.

Even the reason why the Jiutian Sect has gathered all the innate spiritual veins in the thirty-five major states may still be the order of Taihuangtian. When Taihuangtian feels the time is right, he will order the Jiutian Sect to release all the innate spiritual veins and all the innate spiritual energy in the Small Thousand Worlds, allowing the Xihuang World to increase its foundation in an instant, and then he will force the Xihuang World to be promoted and attract the avenue of the universe.

Needless to say, this kind of forced promotion is bound to fail, because the power of the origin of the Heavenly Dao is far from reaching the qualifications for promotion, but what Taihuangtian wants is failure. When the world fails to be promoted, most of the living beings inside the world will be extinct. Taihuangtian can completely let the Jiutian Sect take back all the innate spiritual veins that have been released, rebuild nine small thousand worlds, and then let Emperor Xi create all spirits again, so that this world can reproduce again!
When the trauma of the failed world promotion is healed and recovered, everything will happen again, and the cycle will continue like this. Taihuangtian will also constantly comprehend the cosmic avenue that is descending upon him and pursue his own eternal life amidst the repeated failures of world promotion!
Zhang Qian even thought that perhaps there were many worlds like the Xihuang World, which was controlled by Taihuangtian, and the function of each world was the same, that is, to be promoted again and again, to fail again and again, and to attract the avenue of the universe again and again!
The path to immortality that Taihuangtian pursues comes at the cost of repeated cycles of life and death in many of the thousands of worlds, and the extinction of countless trillions of lives!

At this moment, Zhang Qian felt a chill in his heart and his whole body was cold!

Although he had never seen Taihuangtian and didn't know what he looked like, Zhang Qian felt that there was no more terrifying existence in the heavens and the worlds than Taihuangtian.

In Taihuangtian's eyes, each of the thousands of worlds is nothing more than a myriad of things. They are tools for him to improve his cultivation and comprehend the great Dao.

Even the plan of the demon Luohu is not as terrifying as Taihuangtian!
"World Tree! World Tree cannot fail!"

Thinking about what the World Tree entrusted to him, Zhang Qian realized that he had a huge mission.

Once the World Tree fails, Taihuangtian will definitely force the Xihuang World to be promoted, and the promotion will definitely fail. At that time, all living things and spirits will be extinct, and Zhang Qian will not be able to escape.

This is no longer a matter of one person, but the fate of countless lives in the world.

Clenching his fists, Zhang Qian looked at the small world in front of him that could not even be described as a fairyland. He inexplicably had the urge to smash this small world into pieces with one punch and let all the innate spiritual veins return.

However, he soon remembered that when Emperor Liangyi was born, it was a powerful incarnation of the Taihuang World who took over his body. Emperor Liangyi revealed Taihuangtian's plan, which scared the Jiutian Sect.

Although the Jiutian Sect colluded with Taihuangtian, they did not know what Taihuangtian's plan was. It was only from the mouth of Liangyi Emperor that the Jiutian Sect learned some of the truth.

It was also at that time that the Jiutian Sect realized that they were just pawns of Taihuangtian.

What makes the Jiutian Sect in a dilemma is that they boarded Taihuangtian's pirate ship in the ancient times and can no longer get off. Now they can only go one way to the end. If they follow Taihuangtian's footsteps closely, they can survive, but if they leave this pirate ship, they will definitely be retaliated by the World Tree Tiandao that has been eyeing them for several ages. Needless to say, the revenge of the World Tree Tiandao will be unbearable.
