Chapter 277 Did a cultivation civilization really exist on Blue Star?
They had all fallen into a deep sleep, their complexions were normal, and their breathing was steady.
There is no danger to his life.
They were just trapped in an illusion array and fell asleep.
Shen Yu ignored them.
Let's go inside and see what's going on.
It's not too late to rescue these people when they get out.
……
Continue walking in.
The formations are becoming more and more numerous and complex.
What are these illusion arrays, trap arrays, and warning arrays?
One by one.
They are all the most basic formations, but the techniques are very authentic.
It is a standard cultivation formation.
Shen Yu became increasingly curious.
On Earth, there are actually people who know authentic cultivation formations?
Moreover, so many things were arranged.
What exactly is hidden in this cave?
Shen Yu broke through the formations and continued deeper inside.
These formations were far too simple for him, a cultivator at the Golden Core stage.
It can be broken with ease.
It took about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Finally, the cave came to an end.
Suddenly, everything became clear.
It was a huge stone chamber.
The stone chamber is very large, covering several hundred square meters.
Several glowing beads were embedded in the top, illuminating the entire stone chamber.
Inside the stone chamber, there was a stone bed, a stone table, an alchemy furnace, and a bookshelf.
In the very center, there is a prayer mat.
On the prayer mat sat a skeleton.
The skeleton sat cross-legged in a standard posture, maintaining its seated position despite the passage of countless years.
Beside the remains, there was a gray cloth bag.
There were also a few gray stones, several porcelain bottles, and a rusty short sword.
On the stone table, there was a jade slip and a thin notebook.
……
Shen Yu entered the stone chamber and looked around.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It was indeed the cave dwelling of a cultivator.
On Earth, there are indeed cave dwellings left behind by cultivators.
Moreover, judging from the setup, it actually looks quite professional.
Shen Yu walked to the stone table and picked up the notebook.
The notebook was made of some kind of animal hide, and although it is old, it is well preserved.
The characters above are in ancient seal script.
Shen Yu knew him.
He opened his journal and began to read.
The owner of the notebook is named Qingyunzi.
He was a rogue cultivator from ancient times.
In the era he lived in, spiritual energy had already begun to dry up.
He cultivated for a lifetime, but only reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and could not advance any further.
He knew that if things continued like this, the lineage of cultivation would eventually be cut off.
So he traveled all over famous mountains and rivers, and found this cave with a relatively strong spiritual energy.
They set up an array and imposed restrictions.
Then, he passed away here.
He left behind his legacy, hoping that future generations would find this place, inherit his mantle, and pass on the lineage of cultivation.
He also wrote in his journal that he felt the depletion of spiritual energy was not permanent.
It seems to have a periodicity.
Perhaps the spiritual energy will be revived thousands of years later.
At that time, the cultivation lineage may be able to flourish again.
……
After reading the notes, Shen Yu remained silent for a long time.
It turned out to be the case.
There really was a cultivation civilization on Earth.
Moreover, there was more than one cultivator.
This Qingyunzi is just one of them.
Later, however, the spiritual energy was depleted, and the cultivation civilization declined.
Shen Yu raised his head and looked at the skeleton on the prayer mat, feeling a pang of emotion.
Nine layers of Qi refinement.
In the world of cultivation, this isn't even considered an entry-level cultivator.
But on this Blue Star where spiritual energy is depleted, it is already quite difficult to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Moreover, they were able to set up so many formations and leave behind a legacy.
This Qingyunzi is quite an ambitious person.
Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time.
……
Shen Yu shook his head, suppressing these thoughts.
He picked up the jade slip on the stone table and scanned it with his divine sense.
The jade slip contained a cultivation technique.
Basic Breathing Techniques
Shen Yu was somewhat disappointed after reading it.
This technique...
That's way too basic.
It's the most common and ubiquitous introductory cultivation method in the cultivation world.
Novice disciples disdain practicing this kind of skill.
It's better than nothing.
Moreover, it is incomplete.
There are only the first three levels of the technique; the later levels are missing.
It's estimated that this is all the Qingyunzi has.
Shen Yu picked up the gray cloth bag again.
It's a storage bag.
It's a very basic kind, with a very small space, only one or two cubic meters.
Moreover, there are no restrictions, so anyone can open it.
Shen Yu probed inside with his divine sense.
There's quite a lot of stuff inside.
Dozens of low-grade spirit stones, a few bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, a few talismans, and a few pieces of mineral materials.
These are all the most basic things.
In the world of cultivation, this refers to the belongings of a newly initiated disciple.
Shen Yu looked at the short sword again.
It is a magical artifact.
But it's very low-grade, not even a low-grade magic weapon, at most a semi-finished product.
Its power is just so-so.
And that alchemy furnace.
It was also the worst alchemy furnace, barely usable.
In the cultivation world, these things would be so bad that no one would even pick them up if they were thrown on the ground.
But on Earth, it would probably be priceless.
After all, the spiritual energy of Blue Star has been depleted for so long, and the cultivation tradition has been broken.
Any one of these things, if taken out, could cause a huge uproar.
Especially spirit stones and Qi-gathering pills.
With the spiritual energy on Earth so scarce now, having spirit stones and Qi-gathering pills will greatly speed up cultivation.
It just so happens that he is preparing to help the country train monks.
These things are perfect to take back to them.
It can be considered that resources are being used to their fullest potential.
Shen Yu nodded.
With a wave of his hand.
Storage bag, spirit stones, pills, short sword, alchemy furnace, and jade slips and notes on the stone table.
He collected them all and put them into his storage ring.
These things will come in handy in the future.
……
Shen Yu walked around the stone chamber again.
I checked the formation.
These formations, though basic, are cleverly arranged.
It's quite remarkable that it has been able to maintain operation for so many years.
Shen Yu thought for a moment and decided not to destroy the formations.
I simply adjusted the maze and illusion arrays.
From now on, ordinary people will no longer be trapped when they come in.
But the stone chamber could not be found.
Only those who truly possess spiritual roots and can sense spiritual energy can find this place.
However, even if it were found, there would be nothing inside.
He took everything.
In a way, it's a memento left for those destined to remember it in the future.
After doing all this, Shen Yu prepared to leave.
Halfway there, they woke up all the people who were asleep.
Then, he led them out of the cave.
Outside the cave.
Zhao Rui and the others were waiting anxiously.
When they saw Shen Yu emerge, the missing people following behind him were overjoyed.
"It's out! It's out!"
"Mr. Shen is out!"
"The missing people have all come out!"
The Party Secretary was so moved he almost cried.
The person who had been missing for so many days has finally emerged safely.
Mr. Shen is indeed a master!
"Mr. Shen! You're finally out!" Zhao Rui rushed to greet him. "How was it? What was the situation inside?"
"It's nothing," Shen Yu said casually. "It's just that an ancient master lived in seclusion there and set up some formations."
"Those people are just trapped in the formation, they're fine."
"A formation?" Zhao Rui was taken aback.
He thought it was some kind of demon or monster.
It turns out to be an array set up by an ancient master.
"Then... what about that expert?" Zhao Rui asked again.
