Chapter 734: 9-State Boundary
Although the Nine Cauldrons were forged by mortal craftsmen according to Dayu's orders and had not been baptized by the slightest power of immortals or gods, because of Dayu's plan, the Nine Cauldrons accepted the faith of hundreds of millions of people and were baptized by the magnificent destiny of the human race. In the end, even if the Nine Cauldrons were not spiritual treasures, they were more suitable than spiritual treasures to suppress the destiny of the human race, especially the destiny of the human race within the Nine Provinces!
At the moment when the Nine Cauldrons returned to their places, a barrier appeared on the border of the Nine Provinces defined by Dayu, and all non-human creatures within the Nine Provinces were subjected to an extremely powerful oppressive force!
To give an inappropriate example, after the founding of the country, spirits were forbidden! The suppression of non-human creatures has reached an extremely harsh level! Now, for all non-human creatures within the Kyushu region, it is much more difficult than before to give birth to spiritual intelligence! Even if spiritual intelligence is born, it is much more difficult to cultivate to a certain level than before!
Therefore, except for those alien creatures who did not have enough strength to leave the Jiuzhou area, the remaining non-human creatures who could leave all left the Jiuzhou area as much as possible and did not live in Jiuzhou, a depressing place!
It was precisely because of the departure of those powerful non-human creatures within the Jiuzhou area, and the fact that the non-human creatures that did not leave were basically no match for the human race, that Dayu's move ultimately caused the death rate of ordinary humans within the Jiuzhou area to plummet!
Of course, the fact that the safety of ordinary human beings is guaranteed does not mean it is a good thing for human cultivators. Today, the main paths of cultivation for human beings are divided into three categories: the first is the immortal path, the second is the martial path, and the third is the literary path!
Ever since the Jiuzhou barrier was opened, Jiuzhou no longer has any spiritual energy interaction with the outside world. Although the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual veins still accounts for the majority of the prehistoric world today, there are very few spiritual veins in the Jiuzhou territory of the human race, not to mention the amount of spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual veins!
After the Jiuzhou territory stopped interacting with the outside world in terms of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy within the Jiuzhou became increasingly thin. This was not a big deal for mortals who had not yet achieved immortality, but it was a bit insufficient for those immortals who had already achieved immortality. In order to further improve their cultivation, those immortal cultivators basically chose to leave the Jiuzhou territory after achieving immortality and go to other places to continue their cultivation, unless their potential was exhausted!
Although the dependence of martial arts on spiritual energy is not as strong as that of immortality, it does not mean that martial arts practitioners do not need spiritual energy!
Among them, the immortal warriors have the greatest demand for spiritual energy, so those human beings who have achieved the immortal path will leave the Jiuzhou territory after becoming immortals and go to the territory with richer spiritual energy to practice!
Although the spiritual energy required to practice bloodline martial arts is relatively small, if one wants to achieve something in this martial art, one must replenish it frequently. The number of monsters in the Jiuzhou territory will only decrease with the passage of time, so the upper limit of cultivators who practice bloodline martial arts in Jiuzhou is getting lower and lower!
Generally speaking, cultivators who practice bloodline martial arts basically choose to practice until it is difficult to make any progress within Jiuzhou, and then they leave the territory of Jiuzhou and go to the outside world to continue practicing!
Although the orthodox martial arts founded by Chi You have the lowest dependence on spiritual energy, whether it is the energy in the flesh and blood of monsters or spiritual energy can be transformed into nourishment for cultivation, but the orthodox martial arts practice does not provide a lifespan bonus in the early stages. Therefore, if you want to become an immortal before the end of your life, you must go outside Jiuzhou to hunt high-level monsters to obtain a faster cultivation speed. Otherwise, relying solely on the concentration of spiritual energy and the quality of monsters in Jiuzhou, no matter how talented you are, it is difficult to achieve anything in the orthodox martial arts!
It is also for this reason that after the Jiuzhou barrier appeared, the practitioners of orthodox martial arts basically chose to leave Jiuzhou and go to seek a life outside of Jiuzhou!
The practice of Wen Dao relies on the omnipresent righteousness of heaven and earth, and does not require spiritual energy at all. However, things are not as simple as imagined.
The cultivators of the Dao of Literature do not really need spiritual energy in their cultivation, but when they cast spells of making their words come true, they need to use the righteous energy accumulated in their bodies to connect with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Otherwise, those low-level cultivators of the Dao of Literature who have not yet become immortals can drain themselves of their energy with just the righteous energy accumulated in their bodies!
