Chapter 273 Two Bet
Chapter 273: Betting on Both Sides
"What are the characteristics of the period of neurasthenia?"
"You are in the situation now. Your cultivation has regressed and your heavenly being has weakened. First, your spiritual energy began to weaken, and then your cultivation dropped uncontrollably, followed by your spiritual consciousness."
"Your body has been forged to be indestructible after being rebuilt in the Mortal Retreat Realm, but that is not enough. It will also gradually weaken and transform into the strength of a mortal. No one can stop this."
The ethereal voice was clear and cold, saying the most horrifying words.
"So, what happens in the end?" Qin Baiqing's spiritual power continued to decline, she asked blankly.
"Death, of course."
Fairy Guanghan said as she should, with her hands in her pockets, "Your cultivation is reset to zero, your spiritual consciousness is gone, you have lost everything that a cultivator has, and your body will become sick and weak. Death is the end of everything. This is the spiritual decline period. As the name suggests, you cannot resist the weakness, so you can only die."
So extreme.
Therefore, there is only a divine decline between divine transformation and overcoming tribulation, but the difference between the two is almost as great as the difference between heaven and earth.
There is no long period of decline in this world.
Ying...!
"Then it's all over...!" Qin Baiqing was stunned as she felt the power in her body and suddenly panicked.
I have cultivated myself up to this point with great difficulty, but now it is time to die?
She was at a loss for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to go to Feng Budu. She pursed her lips and said in a muffled voice: "I'll wait for Feng Budu to finish the fight and ask him what to do. His cultivation is higher than mine, so he will have a solution."
"There's no need to ask him." Fairy Guanghan glanced at Feng Budu, who was still fighting the Dragon King, with a look that was not friendly. She said, "After the elders in the palace break through and enter the God Decline Stage, they will choose to go into seclusion directly to reduce their own consumption and slow down the decline of their cultivation."
That is to prolong the process of one's own death.
"They will realize their own way during this period. Only those who successfully pass the period of divine decline will have the capital to enter the stage of transcending tribulation. Those without the way will die without exception."
She stared at Qin Baiqing calmly, her voice as cold as fog, but without the arrogance of the past, her tone slowed down a bit: "You can start to understand the truth."
I see……
"There's no need to rush. No one told me that I need to cultivate my mind during the period of spiritual decline." Qin Baiqing sighed and could only accept the reality.
Now that he had calmed down, the biggest threat was still being held by Feng Budu. Several people were on full alert below, and Qin Baiqing finally had the opportunity to feel the unwillingness to give up integrated into his body.
I only received a small amount of memories and cultivation. As for what the unwillingness to give up is, I can only find out after going back to find my father.
"Let's go out first." Xiao Xingyun sensed something and took Qin Baiqing and the others away.
He turned back the same way and saw that the Duan family had also been dealt with. Ever since the Dragon King was restrained by Feng Budu, the Alliance and the human race had gained the upper hand, and now it was time for the final reckoning.
Duan Yao was actually subdued by a dignified and old-fashioned middle-aged man. The two looked somewhat similar.
Duan Yao is now in a disheveled state, without his slick and romantic temperament. His frowned and unconvinced look makes him look more like the head of the Duan family.
The two were surrounded by the crowd, and the Duan family was actually divided into two factions that opposed each other.
"Rebellious son! When did our family ever teach you to betray your own people and do something so against the harmony of heaven?"
The old-fashioned and mean middle-aged man seemed to be very disappointed with Duan Yao. His short beard trembled as he spoke, making him look even more annoyed.
But soon, Qin Baiqing's attention was attracted by someone.
"Master!" Xingzhi spotted Qin Baiqing and the other two appearing from afar in the crowd. The tears that she had been holding back all the way finally burst out. She came forward with fear: "I couldn't contact you, and I thought something happened to you!" At the beginning, Xiao Xingyun brought all the alliance members to surround the Duan family, but who knew that Xiao Xingyun lost his whereabouts at the very beginning. She couldn't contact anyone, and she couldn't spare the time to go to the Dragon Clan to check the situation. She was the most anxious person in the audience.
Now that I see that the person is safe and sound, I finally feel relieved.
Wiping tears, she greeted the two.
...Lovely Xingzhi. Qin Baiqing was strangely fascinated.
She waved her hand and embraced Xingzhi to support her. Everyone spontaneously made way for her, revealing the Duan family members in the center of the crowd.
"Please forgive me, leader. A human traitor has appeared in our family. Now please rest assured that all those who participated in the Dragon Clan's accomplices have been expelled from the Duan family and will have nothing to do with us in the future!"
The implication is that the Duan family will no longer provide protection for these people and will allow them to deal with them as they please.
The people around just looked on indifferently upon hearing this, and no one showed any reluctance, even though the people being kicked out of the home were their former young master and his fellow practitioners.
"Why?" Qin Baiqing asked in a low voice.
Isn’t Duan Yao the descendant of the head of the Duan family?
"Master, you don't understand. Duan Yao was not expelled. He just unfortunately stood on the wrong side of the bet." Xingzhi was also indifferent. She explained in a cold voice: "The Duan family noticed the turmoil in the cultivation world early on, gave up resistance and chose to speculate. They split into two and stood on different sides to ensure that their foundation would not be damaged after the war."
There is one Duan family head and one Duan Yao. Whoever's side wins will take the remaining half of the Duan family members to continue the family line in the new structure.
Unfortunately, Duan Yao was assigned to the losing side. Not only would he have to bear the cost for the Duan family, but he would also see that the Duan family, which had been shattered in half, would be much less competitive in the subsequent distribution of benefits.
"...I understand." Qin Baiqing was silent for a moment, then nodded dejectedly, "For the Duan family, if the dragon clan wins, the benefits will be greater."
In that case, although the Duan family would also lose half of its strength, they would also have fewer opponents.
This also answered her vague doubts, why Duan Yao and others were obviously not weak, but when she came over she saw them being defeated like a house of cards? It turned out that they saw that defeat was inevitable and the dragon clan's formation was defeated and could not work, so they had no intention of resisting at all.
It's just a sacrifice for the continuation of the family.
"The way of heaven is cruel, but it is not surprising that people in the world are so mean and intriguing." Fairy Guanghan watched coldly, not moved at all.
She should be happy that her enemy was exiled.
"Heaven's way is just not partial."
Qin Baiqing seriously refuted: "It was the Duan family who made the choice. The Heavenly Dao never intervened. Whether it was cruelty or calculation, it was their own cause and effect." It has nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao.
The few of them were distracted for a while. While Qin Baiqing was talking, she suddenly sensed the danger. When she looked closely, she found that it was the murderous aura coming from the head of the Duan family.
He refused to face the reality and wanted to do something to himself!
She immediately became alert, but just before Patriarch Duan was about to make a move, a huge aura crashed down from the sky, smashing through the rocks on the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and finally revealing the embarrassed face of the Dragon King.
And the direction he was staring at was Feng Budu, the one who shot down the Dragon King.
The head of the Duan family immediately stopped thinking, the situation was now completely settled. While everyone was still in shock, Duan Yao activated the teleportation talisman and took the Dragon King away.
He was familiar with the Duan family's formation. Everything happened in a flash. No one expected that he would suddenly take action at this time. He and the Dragon King's figures flashed by and disappeared in the light of the teleportation talisman.
Even when Feng Budu tried to stop them in a hurry, he could only feel the shadows of the two people and watched them escape successfully.
