Chapter 2661 The Truth of the Ruins
After solving several cases in succession, Wen Rensheng's detective agency, the Yorozuya, began to become famous in the Beidou Realm, a void-level world of excellence, for its unique background and superb investigative skills.
His current level of cultivation in the Spirit Transformation Stage has already allowed him to reach the ceiling in the Beidou Immortal Cultivation World.
But no one knows that with the blessing of the mysterious seed, Wen Rensheng can become millions of times stronger than a real Divine Transformation Stage cultivator.
The strength of others is only the upper limit of their own strength, explosiveness, and body support.
As for Wen Rensheng's true strength, it depends on whether he can withstand the upper limit of the world.
His reputation gradually spread, and this shop was seen by everyone as a place that specializes in solving various mysterious incidents and unsolved mysteries.
On this day, Wen Rensheng received a new case: a sect turned into ruins overnight.
Although this sect is not one of the top sects in the Beidou world, it still has considerable influence.
Its history is over 5000 years.
And there are also many inheritances from previous generations.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will last until the world restarts in ten thousand years.
The destruction of this sect has attracted widespread attention from many people.
Many people are speculating on the reasons behind this.
The local garrison commander commissioned Wen Rensheng's Wanshiwu.
The commission reward is also very high: three unknown void relics.
This is the remuneration requirement that Wen Rensheng announced to the public: no elixirs or treasures, just various unknown things.
Wen Rensheng decided to take action himself, and he brought Xiao Huan with him.
It turned into a spirit beast with the ability to transform. Well, now this guy doesn't want to be a human being anymore.
I really envy it.
There is no pressure, you can become whatever you want.
Play however you want.
Xiao Huan represents the personality traits in people's hearts, which are illusory, free, and not bound by anything, but still have a certain bottom line.
Then Xiao Huan brought Zhao Han along.
the reason is simple.
"I am a cute spiritual beast now, and I definitely need a feeder." Xiao Huan leaned confidently in Zhao Han's arms, nudging him.
"It's up to you." Wen Rensheng shook his head.
Zhao Han was also very excited. He had been doing all sorts of miscellaneous chores these days and was finally able to do something serious.
So Wen Rensheng took two capable assistants and went to the ruins of the sect to investigate.
They first found the local garrison commander who had commissioned them.
He was a middle-aged cultivator who looked calm and experienced.
The garrison commander told them with a depressed look on his face that he heard a huge explosion before the sect was destroyed.
Then he saw dark clouds in the sky, as if a powerful force was brewing.
"The sound of the explosion was like a calamity from heaven, but it was also different." The garrison commander tried to recall.
At this time, the garrison commander's little daughter covered her ears and added: "That sound was horrible, like a child crying."
Wen Rensheng's heart moved.
Can you still hear the crying of a child amid the explosion?
He knew that the heavenly tribulation was a normal phenomenon that cultivators would encounter when they broke through to a higher realm.
But the destruction of an entire sect does not seem to be something that can be explained by a simple heavenly calamity.
Wen Rensheng took Xiao Huan and Zhao Han and decided to go deep into the ruins to look for more clues.
They came to the sect called Haohai Sect, flew above the sect, looked down, and saw a tragic scene before their eyes.
Haohai Sect was once a holy place in the hearts of local immortal practitioners.
According to the information collected by Wen Rensheng, the sect has magnificent buildings and is full of spiritual energy, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
However, now, this former training hall has become a ruin.
The once glorious mountain gate had collapsed, the huge stone archway had cracked into several pieces and were scattered on the ground, the intricate runes carved on it had become dim.
The sect's squares, which used to be places for disciples to do morning exercises, are now full of potholes and cracks, as if they were torn apart by a huge force.
The sect's main hall, the building that once symbolized the Haohai Sect's authority and power, is now only left with broken walls and mountains of rubble.
Some broken beams and pillars are inserted obliquely in the ruins, as if telling the story of past glory and present desolation.
The side halls and wing rooms around the main hall were not spared either. Most of them have been reduced to ashes. Only a few walls are still standing, but they are also in ruins.
Wen Rensheng scanned the ruins carefully, trying to find clues from them.
Soon he made a discovery.
In the center of the ruins, a huge pit can be seen, and the ground around it shows radial cracks, which are the marks left by the explosion.
It looks like this is the center of the explosion.
Around the pit, fragments of some magical weapons were scattered on the ground. They used to be the pride of immortal cultivators, but now only scraps of metal remain.
Apparently, when the explosion occurred, some high-ranking monks tried to stop it.
That’s why the fragments of magic weapons appear.
These people are true warriors. Judging from the fragments of their magic weapons, they are all high-level magic weapons, or at least rare items that can only be used by the late Nascent Soul stage.
Wen Rensheng shook his head.
Obviously, the great monks in the Beidou Realm also have a spirit of sacrifice.
This is probably related to the restart every ten thousand years.
Because it is not true immortality, they do not value personal life that much. On the contrary, they value the longevity of a sect more.
After all, the sect's heritage can survive the reboot.
Although most knowledge and memories will disappear, the name of the sect and a little core knowledge may survive.
Some precious spiritual plant gardens also suffered a devastating blow. The spiritual herbs and trees that should have been thriving are now reduced to charred dead branches and broken rhizomes.
"What a pity! There are so many delicious foods. It would be great if they were all left for me." Xiao Huan turned into a little deer and licked his tongue.
It really becomes what it is.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the air, it was the dead silence and desolation after the disaster.
Occasionally, Wen Rensheng could see some surviving cultivators wandering among the ruins.
Their eyes were filled with confusion and grief, as if they were looking for their lost relatives or fellow disciples.
Of course, all they could find were remains, which was lucky, as most people had already turned to ashes.
After Wen Rensheng took a quick look, he landed with the two of them.
The remaining survivors did not question anything and just focused on doing their own things.
He ignored the arrival of several people.
The three of them passed through the destroyed sect's gate and saw fragments of magical weapons and ruins scattered everywhere.
Wen Rensheng came to the center of the ruins and stood in front of the huge pit.
There are still obvious fluctuations of spiritual power around the pit.
"There was a fierce battle here." Zhao Han frowned and said, "There should be two parties fighting."
Xiao Huan smelled a strange smell in the ruins.
The smell made it feel a little uneasy.
"It's so strange. I always feel like there is something special here that doesn't seem to be local." It said.
"Yeah." Wen Rensheng nodded. This might have been left by some unknown external force.
They then continued to investigate further.
With the help of Xiao Huan's sense of smell, they finally found a well-preserved jade slip deep in the ruins.
The jade slip recorded some information before the sect was destroyed.
Wen Rensheng stretched out his hand and pointed, displaying the information inside.
"Elder Wang, we have a way to deal with the demon. We are seeking elites from the void world to solve the problem. Don't continue blindly." The sect leader was trying to persuade an elder earnestly. "Hahaha, relying on the mountain will cause the mountain to fall, relying on the sea will cause the sea to dry up; relying on others will only destroy the entire world!"
"If those elites are capable of dealing with the demons, will they tolerate us continuing to be their employers? They will definitely take over our place and establish themselves as masters. This is an excellent world, a precious world that can be reborn once every trillion years and restart once every ten thousand years!" Elder Wang said contemptuously.
He was still working hard, and there was a dark crack in front of his eyes.
He was using his spiritual sense to communicate with a certain existence in the crack.
It turns out that the sect’s destruction was not a natural disaster.
Rather, it was Elder Wang within the sect who was researching a forbidden spell, which eventually lost control and caused the disaster.
Then the image continued.
The sect leader was speechless and then left.
However, before leaving, he was kind enough to set up many protective formations for Elder Wang, which were actually isolation formations.
Then he secretly sent a group of talented disciples and their relatives away from the sect.
But he himself stayed.
In the subsequent images, Elder Wang's continued research showed that the cracks were getting bigger and bigger.
Finally, a strange life appeared.
This kind of life can survive on evil thoughts.
It can be said that the devil eats people and it eats the devil.
Then people can control it.
I have to say that Elder Wang has some ideas.
He wanted to re-establish a new food chain in the world of immortal cultivation.
"It seems that this spell can summon some unknown creatures from the void, but the cost is extremely high." Wen Rensheng said in a deep voice.
In order to further find out the truth, Wen Rensheng decided to go to the elder's research place.
Because of the additional settings made by the sect master, many traces should have survived the explosion.
With the help of the jade slip and Xiao Huan, Wen Rensheng accurately found the research site.
There, he found some research notes on forbidden spells, as well as some strange symbols and formations.
"Teacher, these symbols are really used for summoning. My sister Shanshan and I saw them in a world when we were traveling." Zhao Han pointed to a pattern on the notebook and said with inexplicable surprise.
"Well, it turns out that traveling around can help you gain some knowledge." Wen Rensheng nodded.
Xiao Huan was wandering around.
However, it did make some discoveries while wandering around.
It discovered some sealed creatures in a secret basement of the research institute.
These creatures exude a strange aura. Although they are not powerful, they can easily restrain people's emotions.
When Wen Rensheng walked in front of these creatures, he could feel his own joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, as if he was being devoured by them.
Wen Rensheng thought about it carefully, frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized.
"Alas, I thought this Elder Wang could come up with some earth-shattering invention, but after all the twists and turns, it's still the same old thing."
"Teacher, what are you talking about?" Zhao Han asked curiously.
"He wants these creatures from another world to devour people's emotions and turn the people of Beidou Realm into ruthless people so that they can resist the devil." Wen Rensheng shook his head.
"Isn't this about turning people into robots to fight against being lost and going crazy?" Zhao Han also quickly understood this.
"That's right, that's it."
After Wen Rensheng understood this, he suddenly felt a little bored.
With some simple effort, he broke the seal and released the creatures.
And these creatures are obviously intelligent.
Wen Rensheng simply named them "Devourers".
Although the Devourers devour people's emotions and desires, their attitude towards people is still quite good.
They do not eat humans, just as humans treat hens and sheep.
Most people would not bother hens that are laying eggs or sheep that are producing wool.
They will not abuse them, but will take good care of them.
Provide them with warm houses, plenty of food, a quiet place to live, keep wild animals and diseases away from them, and treat them like your own family, or even better than your own family, until they become useless.
Their attitude towards Wen Rensheng is similar to this situation.
They expressed their gratitude to Wen Rensheng and told him many things.
"While Elder Wang was studying magic, he accidentally touched a node in the void, causing us to be summoned to this world."
"After discovering our role, he was overjoyed and began to try to summon more powerful beings." said a Devourer.
"Elder Wang succeeded. A powerful one of our kind appeared in the sect. However, as soon as it appeared, it created a terrible disaster."
"It resulted in the entire sect being reduced to ruins."
The truth is revealed, but not yet complete.
Zhao Han was surprised and asked, "I see that you are all very easy to talk to. Why would one of your powerful people create such a terrible disaster?"
"Haha, it's very simple, because it wants to taste something more delicious: the ultimate fear of you humans. So it creates a disaster!" said a Devourer with hatred for his father.
Wen Rensheng understood this very well.
It's like people killing hundreds of chickens just to eat their tongues.
"You must find a way to shut down this node, otherwise more disasters will occur." warned another Devourer.
Xiao Huan was surprised and said, "Hey, isn't this a good thing for you? Wouldn't it be more lively with more people?"
A Devourer rolled his eyes: "When a mouse falls into a rice jar, it definitely doesn't want another mouse to come."
With the great help of the Devourers, Wen Rensheng quickly found a way to close their space node.
He used his cultivation level at the Spiritual Transformation Stage and the power of the Devourer to try to close it.
But the result is still unable to successfully shut down the node.
Of course, this cannot prevent more Devourers from appearing in this world in the future.
The Devourers panicked.
"Damn it, what should I do?"
"This space crack is too dangerous."
"His strength is already top-notch in this world."
"Do you want to seek help from others?"
"No, this one doesn't care about our value, but the others do. They will definitely repeat Elder Wang's mistake and try to summon more powerful ones of their kind."
"But we all know that the powerful ones among us are not as kind as we are. They are very cruel and never cherish precious food. In order to obtain more delicious food, they even kill the producers."
"Just like the one before it."
The mystery of the sect's destruction was finally solved.
Wen Rensheng smiled, then used the mysterious seed to actively bless it.
In an instant, a force a million times greater was exerted on the space node.
Force the cracks together and close them.
The Devourers were very happy.
"Great."
"This will be our own ranch."
However, the next moment, Wen Rensheng locked them up again.
"Hey, you are so ungrateful. We helped you." said a Devourer depressedly.
"Damn it, we should have known long ago that humans are ungrateful. The previous Elder Wang was the same. We clearly told him that it was enough to have us around and that we would be gentle, but he just didn't believe us and kept ungrateful." Another Devourer said angrily.
"Haha, you think too much." Wen Rensheng shook his head.
"I will make reasonable modifications to you so that you are less dangerous but still able to play a role."
