At this time, Queen Mother of the West continued: "Rather than saying it is the power from the exorcist, it is better to say it is the power from the guardian god."
"That's still a question for now." Scythe corrected, "We can't be sure that the power of the exorcist comes from the patronus. It just teaches us how to use this power and how to use it to create a safe zone to keep the weird and the spirit realm out as much as possible."
“That’s not good news.”
Hong Yi said:
“If it didn’t originate from it, it means it has other companions, or even beings of a higher rank than it.
What I want to know is, how do you gain the power?"
After a pause, Hong Yi added, "It's impossible that all exorcists' abilities remain unchanged, right? There must be some promotion channels similar to our cultivation?"
"Experience points." Scythe replied, "Every time you complete a task, the system will issue experience points. By upgrading, you can improve various basic abilities, which is equivalent to your cultivation. In addition, you may also gain skills and props, which correspond to your spells and magic weapons."
"Experience points..." Hong Yi seemed to understand something: "This is probably not issued by the system, but plundered from the Spirit Realm."
Scythe was stunned, somewhat confused.
Xi Wangmu understood Hong Yi's idea and explained, "If the experience points come from the system, from the existence of the suspected guardian god, then as the people who do things according to its instructions, it will of course hope that you are as powerful as possible.
Even if your ultimate limits are different due to factors such as talent, it is not difficult for such beings to raise your abilities to the critical value in one go, just like initiation.
But the logic of an exorcist's promotion is not based on talent or bloodline. If he awakens directly, it can only mean that he may be subject to some restrictions and cannot do so. He can only rely on other worlds to enhance his abilities.
In this case, it is obvious where your experience points come from."
"I think."
Hong Yi speculates:
"The essence of experience points is probably the basic components of various worlds such as spiritual power, faith, and witch power. They are transformed through your system and given to you.
This is actually a very scary thing.
Because the resources of any world are constant, the more powerful the world, the greater the chance of producing top powerhouses, and the more people it can accommodate and provide for, while the opposite is true for the weaker world.
If you continue to plunder resources from other worlds, your world will become stronger and stronger, while other worlds will become weaker and weaker. If you take more, others will take less. In the end, one world will be the first to collapse and be destroyed."
After listening to Hong Yi's words, the performer suddenly thought of something.
"What you said is very likely true."
He said seriously:
"The successfully conquered spirit realms will not descend, but will become safe spirit realms and added to the system's spirit realm pool for exorcists to conquer repeatedly.
The rewards from such a spiritual realm won't be as great as the first time you conquer it, but they are there and they are safe, so many exorcists will pick some conquered dungeons that someone else has done a conquer on and repeatedly gain experience points.
The experience points provided by these spiritual realms will become less and less, and after reaching a certain number of times, they will no longer be able to enter.
This phenomenon coincides with what you said.”
"Is that so..." Hong Yi sighed.
Jiang Lu was already feeling a little heavy-hearted. After hearing the performer talk about something he knew nothing about, he instantly thought of some terrible things and his face suddenly turned ugly.
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the spiritual realms he passed through will disappear sooner or later?
Even if he didn't disappear, he would definitely not be able to enter again?
What should they do?
Gentle wife Ishina, lively loli Jinglan, hot mature woman Mrs. White, sister next door Catherine, star rage angel Hasmoer, exotic Ihewuti... Oh, don't worry about the one you carry with you, happy everyone Bailiu Zong, friend's mother Deketail, well-behaved pet Baisi...
Their world...will be destroyed?
"No...no way?" Jiang Lu suddenly felt dizzy.
He couldn't accept this reality.
"What's wrong with you?" several people asked with concern.
"Nothing...nothing..." Jiang Lu forced a smile.
No matter how sad he was, he had to hold on. He couldn't tell others that he was worried about other women, right?
There are only two now, oh no, two and a half, Xuannv counts as half, and it’s already so messed up. What will happen if they confess to more crimes?
An excellent pure love party should not only regard himself as a little boy all the time, but also not let her and her and her... meet her, or even know each other's existence.
Let’s go out and think of a solution... Jiang Lu comforted himself.
There is always a way.
“So now it’s clear.”
Queen Mother Xi concluded:
"The real purpose of the existence of exorcists is to go to other worlds to plunder resources in order to feed back to their own world. The so-called spiritual revival is probably just a cover, and in the final analysis, it is just an excuse to start a war.
Even in the end, you exorcists may not realize that you are destroying other worlds."
"So..." Dong Wanggong looked at Jiang Lu and the other two with a complicated expression: "If the Three Pure Realms are really going to be destroyed, it's because..."
"That shouldn't be the case." Scythe directly refuted: "The spiritual realm connected to the Three Pure Realms has not been successfully conquered so far. If the rule is that the exorcist can steal the resources in some way after completing the mission, then the resources of the Three Pure Realms are complete. It descended and then destroyed itself, becoming one of the sources of pollution for our world."
"Then," Xuannv asked, "could it be related to Yuanshi Tianzun?"
"I don't know. I don't know anything."
Queen Mother Xi shook her head and paused for a moment before asking Scythe, "Has there ever been a precedent where a spirit realm was successfully stopped after it descended?"
Scythe shook his head and said nothing.
For a moment, everyone felt heavy-hearted.
"That's not a good expression on your face."
Although Jiang Lu himself was still feeling uncomfortable and didn't know how to save his harem, he knew that the spread of negative emotions was not a good thing. He forced a smile, clapped his hands, and encouraged:
"Cheer up, maybe it was destroyed because everyone was passive and Yuanshi Tianzun succeeded. Now is not the time to think about these things. Anyway, we must first find a way to stop Yuanshi Tianzun from opening the 'door'."
“According to what you said, it is also possible that we successfully stopped my brother, and then other things happened, resulting in the Three Pure Ones Realm disappearing in an instant.” Dong Wanggong spread his hands.
"It's meaningless for you to say this now."
"What you said doesn't make sense."
Negative emotions were spreading, and even Dong Wanggong, who used to be unruly in words but decisive in actions, began to show obvious impatience.
This is no wonder, as all the clues point to facts that are so shocking that it is hard to accept.
In such an atmosphere, it is easy to develop a mentality of giving up everything.
The only tragedy in this world is that you can see the bad ending in advance, but you are powerless to change it. No matter how hard you try, it will be in vain in the end.
This is the case now.
Even the usually rational Hong Yi showed signs of fatigue, and even said something that was obviously contrary to his opinion: "It doesn't matter whether the door is open or not, the door is always there.
Isn’t your successful arrival at the Three Pure Ones Realm the best proof?
But this door is one-way and is only open to you. People outside can come in and out freely, but people in the Three Pure Ones are in a cage.
At this point, I suddenly felt that Yuanshi Tianzun's desire to open the door seemed to have some foresight. No matter what was on the other side of the door, I had to find a way to get out first.
But I don’t know if it’s just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.”
What she said was indeed her inner feelings, but it sounded somewhat harsh to the ears of the sickle and the performers.
"It's not necessarily that you can come and go as you please." Scythe explained with a wry smile: "We are all on the same boat now. We can't go back unless we complete the mission."
"Yes, after all, we still don't know what your mission is." Hong Yi asked.
"We were originally asked to escort the immortal corpse, Jin Yao, to Kunlun Mountain. We removed her seal from Gaishi Mountain and brought her all the way here. Logically, we should have completed the mission, but we didn't see any follow-up."
Scythe said with some distress:
“I even wondered if something was wrong.”
"Is it possible that this isn't Kunlun Mountain?" the performer asked, "Have you ever moved secretly?"
"Why move? Kunlun Mountain has always been here." Dong Wanggong said unhappily.
"Hmm...wait..." Jiang Lu suddenly got inspiration from the sickle's words: "Tell me again, what is the mission?"
"Escort the immortal corpse to... huh?"
Scythe realized something, and after thinking about it carefully, his expression suddenly changed:
“It’s not Kunlun Mountain. The original words were, escort the immortal corpse to where she should go.
But the tip we got on Mount Gaishi was to send her to Mount Kunlun..."
After saying that, he finally realized, "Isn't the place Jin Yao should go to Kunlun Mountain?"
"That's right." Jiang Lu snapped his fingers. "Since I started working in this industry, the answers to the missions in the Spirit Realm are always clear on the surface of the puzzle. If there is no problem with the system, it means that Jin Yao, or Xixi, has other places to go."
Queen Mother Xi was stunned: "But...where should I go?"
"I don't know either, but I'm sure it's definitely not in the Sanqing Realm." Jiang Lu was very sure: "Bring Jin Yao to you, and then you wander around in the Sanqing Realm? How can the Exorcist System steal resources in the Sanqing Realm just like this? This behavior is meaningless."
"What does that... mean?"
Jiang Lu racked his brain and felt that under the encouragement of the concubines in the harem, his wisdom had never been so high.
"Hong Yi just reminded me."
"What did I say?" Hong Yi was stunned.
"You mentioned the one-way door." Jiang Lu smiled mysteriously: "But you are wrong, the door is not one-way. The door that allows exorcists to pass through may also be passed through in the opposite direction by the natives in the spirit realm."
"Impossible." Scythe immediately denied: "Someone has tried, but the creatures in the spirit realm cannot be brought out."
Jiang Lu raised an eyebrow: "But I have seen it."
"See...before?" Scythe couldn't believe it: "How is it possible?"
He didn't believe it at all, but he also believed that Jiang Lu would not joke at this time, so after a brief surprise, he asked doubtfully: "What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence? Haha." Jiang Lu puffed out his chest confidently: "Unfortunately, not only do I really have evidence, but I also have it with me."
After saying that, he raised his hands and clapped them: "Pass it to Huang Xiu'e!"
Nothing happened...
His expression suddenly turned into horror: "Hey, where's my E'e?"
