Chapter 1711: The Ruin Of the Ancient Library
[You gained 500,000,000 Yin Qi from Feng Yao.]
[You gained 50,000,000 Beast Essence from Feng Yao.]
Zhang Fei nodded slightly. "Not bad! Ten times the original amount! However, you forgot that my training space has many much better features, including the fast timeflow. Even so, I have to admit that the effects of the Dragon Phoenix Union Formation are truly extraordinary, and it will be useful to the people of my sect."
"Since you don’t plan to bring people from your sect to your training space, you can bring them here, and they can cultivate much faster than in the sect."
Zhang Fei agreed. "The weakness of this formation is that it does not benefit both parties, and it only benefits those who are weaker. Unlike this formation, all the features in my training space benefit both parties, so everyone will improve at the same time."
"Hehe," Feng Yao chuckled. "You’re right, that is indeed the main weakness of this formation. However, you are the only cultivator in this universe who possesses all of those advantages, making this formation insignificant for you, while it remains a treasure trove for others. In the past, people tried to attack this sect, but the members were powerful for the others, so none of the attackers ever succeeded in taking over. If not for the disaster, this sect would not have been destroyed, and its members would have become too powerful."
"Hey, Yao’er, what exactly was the cause of those past disasters?" Feng Yao looked at Zhang Fei uncertainly. "You said that the destruction of the Primordial Era was caused by the actions of those primordial beings. The situation calmed down after the appearance of Hu Tianlang, who stopped the fighting between them and brought calm back. However, you never mentioned the disaster that hit the Ancient Realm in the past, so I’m curious about that."
Feng Yao sighed. "The disaster that struck the Ancient Realm in the past was almost the same as the disaster that destroyed the Primordial Realm, but its scale was much smaller because the strength of the ancients was too weak compared to the primordials. Although many of them died at that time, the ancients still managed to survive to this day. As for the source of the disaster, you should be able to guess it, right?"
"All living beings are the cause of the disaster."
"That’s right." Feng Yao nodded. "We don’t need to talk about other realms, and we can take the Earth as an example."
"Earth?"
"You must still remember that many cultivators and beasts lived on Earth in the past, right?"
"That’s right."
"Even though Earth is in the lower realm, the planet was prosperous in the past, and the qi there was quite abundant. However, the greed of the people of the four realms changed everything, and the era of cultivators ended after the war between the four races in the past, which ended with the qi disappearing completely from the planet."
"The cause was my master, Han Ling, with his Forgotten Sword Technique."
"Han Ling was indeed the cause, but we can’t blame him either. If the people of the Xian, Diyu, and Tian Realms hadn’t tried to take over Earth, he might never have used that technique, and Earth might have had a different future."
"Yes," Zhang Fei agreed. "After that incident, all the cultivators moved to other realms, and my master had to shoulder the blame that should have been everyone’s responsibility."
"Selfishness is one of the basic traits of all living creatures, and the weak always blame the stronger for what happens in their lives." Zhang Fei smiled bitterly hearing that. "Those have no ability to help in battle, and they always blame others for their suffering. If Han Ling had not used his sword technique back then, Earth would have long been overrun by the people of the three realms, and those who were weak would have suffered greatly."
Zhang Fei let out a heavy sigh. "Although the cultivator era has ended on Earth, the Earthlings have never changed, and their actions are slowly destroying the planet. In the past, I asked Lillea and Janette to restore nature there in the hope that it would improve in the future, but I’m not sure it will last, and nature will be damaged again because of their actions."
"Honestly, those Earthlings are much more selfish and greedier than the cultivators." Zhang Fei didn’t argue with Feng Yao, and she immediately created a qi screen that displayed the situation on Earth. "See? Lillea and Janette’s efforts to restore Earth’s condition were in vain because the Earthlings never changed, and they continued to destroy nature. They don’t have the power of cultivators, but they have a lot of technology that can destroy many things, and some countries really like war. Actually, your decision to get rid of those slaves was a big mistake, and you should have let them live to maintain the situation on Earth."
Zhang Fei had no regrets about getting rid of his slaves, especially since they were a burden on his soul. "Forget it, Yao’er. If Earth is destroyed in the future, then those Earthlings will have only themselves to blame, and we shouldn’t interfere in their lives."
"Do you really have the heart to see Earth destroyed?"
"Why not?" Zhang Fei shrugged. "I’ve asked Lillea and Janette to restore Earth’s condition, but those Earthlings have no intention of changing. Therefore, I will no longer help them, and I will watch their destruction from afar."
Feng Yao could only shake her head at Zhang Fei’s response.
Zhang Fei continued. "Rather than worrying about the fate of Earthlings, I prefer to think about my future and the future of everyone close to me. After all, those shadowy creatures are extremely powerful and dangerous, and you don’t have the power to stop them. If we can’t find a solution to stop them, they will destroy this universe, and far more people will suffer than those Earthlings. By the way, can you defeat the Chaos Beast?"
"Did Ling’er tell you about the Chaos Beast?"
"Yes."
"That Chaos Beast was born at the same time as this universe, so you could say that he’s my blood brother, and his strength is equal to mine. If the two of us were to fight in the future, our fight would be dangerous for this universe."
Feng Yao’s statement left Zhang Fei dumbstruck, as he had never considered that possibility before. After all, she was the embodiment of the core of this universe, and the Chaos Beast was born at the same time as the universe, so they were like siblings. "Can you persuade the Chaos Beast to hand over the Chaos Flame to me?"
"I’m not sure the Chaos Beast will listen to me," Feng Yao sighed in disappointment. "He’s simply too powerful, and no living creature in this universe can defeat him. I can match him in battle, but I’m not confident I can defeat him. If you want to obtain the Chaos Flame, I’ll take you there in the future, but you’ll have to persuade him to obtain the flame yourself."
"Do you think I can persuade him?"
"I don’t have an answer to that because he’s too arrogant, so you’ll have to find a way to persuade him, and I’ll protect you if he tries to attack you."
"Forget it for now, and I’ll think about it in the future."
"Alright." Feng Yao nodded. "Do you want to dual cultivate here first?"
"Naturally, I’d love to dual cultivate with you, but we can’t waste time here. I want to explore all areas of this place, especially the locations of their techniques."
Feng Yao pointed to an area to their left. "That place is their main library, and you can find their techniques there."
"Hmm?" Zhang Fei directed his senses towards the area, and he found that most of the place was already destroyed. However, he found several things there, and he couldn’t wait to check them out. "Let’s go there now."
Feng Yao immediately got up from Zhang Fei’s lap, and the formation automatically disappeared after their bodies were no longer connected. After they got dressed, they went straight to the library location.

When they arrived there, Zhang Fei saw many scrolls scattered on the ground, but most of them were destroyed and unreadable. "The past disaster must have been terrible to destroy this place."
"Yes." Feng Yao picked up one of the scrolls on the ground, brushed off the dirt, and opened it. "This technique is the Taiji Formation Array, and this formation uses the principles of Yin and Yang."
"Is that formation good, Yao’er?" Zhang Fei asked as he looked for a technique scroll that was still intact.
"This technique isn’t bad, but it’s not great either." Zhang Fei looked at Feng Yao. "This array is almost similar to the sixth effect of your lust domain."
"Illusion?"
Feng Yao nodded. "The illusion produced by the Taiji Formation Array is extremely powerful, and all cultivators trapped within it will die due to the depletion of the qi in their bodies."
"What if I use that formation in the sect?"
"I don’t recommend that, husband. If you want to use this formation, you must set it up outside the sect."
"Is the formation so sensitive as to affect the people in the sect?"
"This formation is too sensitive, and the people of your sect will be affected by it. If that happens, they will die inside the formation."
"I see." Zhang Fei nodded in understanding as he picked up a scroll from the ground. He brushed the dirt off it and opened it. "Hmm? What kind of technique is this?"
Feng Yao walked to Zhang Fei’s side and looked at the scroll. "This technique is the Yin-Yang Suppression Art."
