Chapter 88 Various Races of the Ancient Realm

"Xiao Ren, do you know what the end of the year is?"

Inside the Sanqing Hall, Chen Ren was being forced to clean, while Old Man Wu sat calmly on a futon, explaining things to him.

Do you know why almost everyone gets active at the end of the year?

"Xiao Ren, remember to clean the feet of the Taiqing Patriarch carefully, there was a gap you didn't clean last time."

"If I had known, would you have given me special treatment right now?"

"And besides, you saw it all, why didn't you wipe it yourself?"

Chen Ren rolled his eyes. He was qualified enough to have this privilege, while the other senior brothers and sisters did not. In the end, they would probably say, "Go ask on another peak."

In the ancient world, talent and status truly are everything.

Old Wu raised his pipe, intending to give Chen Ren a whack on the head. This brat was getting bolder and bolder, relying on his better physique.

He said in an unhappy tone, "If you don't know, why aren't you being humble?"

As for the matter of the gaps between his toes, he simply ignored it.

"The end of the year is a time for a complete reshuffling and cleansing. In this ancient realm, cause and effect, karma, and calamity are extremely sensitive."

"The calamity energy and karma we generate from our daily cultivation of breathing in and out the spiritual energy of the ancient realm, as well as the cause and effect of our connections with others, will accumulate and be triggered by the year god at the end of the year."

"At this point, you can't escape even if you want to."

God of the Year...

Chen Ren had never heard of this before, but upon hearing it, he instinctively picked up his phone to look it up.

He felt that Old Wu was too old to explain things clearly, so he should check it out himself to have a better understanding.

"Hey, what do you mean by that!" Old Wu blew on his beard. "Don't you believe me?"

[Ding: Sword drawing skill +100.]

"Believe it, why wouldn't you believe it?"

As Chen Ren answered, he had already found out.

The God of the Year, the God of the End of the Year, is one of the righteous gods of the ancient world. His status is higher than that of the Day and Night Wanderers and is comparable to that of the God of Longevity.

Even divine positions like the Earth God and the River God are affected by the Year God.

"Kid, you can't find the whole picture on your phone."

Old Wu said in a sinister tone, "Once the year draws to a close, everyone goes crazy. Some cultivators kill anyone they see, and some people are inexplicably hacked to death while walking."

He stared at Chen Ren: "Especially someone like you with delicate skin, your fate will be very tragic."

Chen Renju's face tightened, but she quickly realized what was happening.

"Oh, I see. So, in order to resist the effects of the calamity on humanity, you deliberately chose to go deep into the ancient realm to prevent any unforeseen events?"

Once a Foundation Establishment cultivator makes a move, it's a different story; massacring a city would be nothing compared to that.

Chen Ren understood what Old Wu meant.

"But you think that's all?"

The gaunt old man took out a USB drive from his hand. "Over the next few days, you will need to memorize everything on this drive."

His voice was slightly cold: "We might think of going to the ancient realms, but wouldn't the races of those nearby ancient realms also consider coming to our human race?"

"If you encounter them, don't hesitate. Kill them if you can, run if you can't!"

Old Wu was an elder of the Shangqing Palace, and this was almost the first time Chen Ren had ever heard such murderous words from him.

There was no room for maneuver; it seemed that those were not other intelligent races, but rather the murderers of his father.

Chen Ren didn't ask why. Since Old Man Wu said that, he must have his reasons. He would just listen to him.

He stood up, thanked them, and left the Sanqing Hall.

"By the way, tell the others on the mountain what you learned today."

Finally, Old Wu gave Chen Ren a word of advice and then became a hands-off manager.

Chen Ren was speechless. He must have had this in mind, what was he talking about giving him special treatment? Damn it!

Thinking about this, he became angrier and angrier, and hurriedly ran back to the Sanqing Hall, kicking the prayer mat away.

"You brat!"

Old Wu reappeared; despite all the precautions, we still couldn't prevent this!

[Ding: Sword drawing skill +100.]

It has to be said, this old man's temper is really stable, always only at the 100-point lower limit.

After Chen Ren returned, he first explained the situation to his senior classmates, and then everyone examined the contents of the USB drive together.

"If they showed videos of human reproduction at this time, Junior Brother would probably be scared to death."

Wang Chengxian made a joke, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

The video was specially compiled and edited by someone, and the first thing that appeared was a humanoid alien race.

"The 'bone-faced' group is characterized by its facial bone structure."

"This alien race is four meters tall, and its vital energy is four times stronger than that of humans at the same cultivation level, but its strength is limited, so its overall power is average."

"This alien recipe includes our human race. Next up is a video of that race."

The scene shifted, and then a dozen Bone-Faced Clan members charged into a small tribe of ancient humans. In just a few minutes, the small tribe of over two hundred people was completely slaughtered.

The footage was unedited, and then it stopped at a Bone-Faced Tribe member digging open the entrance to the tribe's underground cave and grabbing a human cub.

"brute!"

Wang Chengxian roared angrily, but before he could continue cursing, a second race appeared.

The Goat Horn Tribe is distinguished by the goat horns on their heads.

The Goat Horned Tribe can stand three meters tall and can freely switch between standing upright and walking on all fours. Humans are also part of their diet.

The footage was equally brutal.

The third video: "The Spirit Race, without physical form, composed of spiritual energy, kills without shedding blood, feeds on souls, and enjoys cannibalism."

The fourth video: "The Corpse Race, resurrected from the corpses of various races, begins to possess sentience in the second stage..."

Almost every race they encountered was accompanied by evidence of their massacre of humans, making the faces of the Shangqing Palace disciples grow increasingly dark.

"We're actually... a recipe!"

Senior Sister Renxi's face darkened: "No wonder our Grandmaster Uncle said to kill them on sight, and run away if we can't kill them."

Strictly speaking, they and these alien races are natural enemies, and there is absolutely no room for maneuver in nature.

"Every year at the end of the year, they would slaughter humans, and the human powerhouses of the third realm would turn around and slaughter them in return."

Chen Ren murmured to himself that he had always focused on the human race, but had never thought about what the outside world of the ancient realm was like.

"Actually, I had heard some rumors before. The intelligent races outside are very powerful, and I heard that some of the divine positions were chosen from their races."

Incheon watched the video with mixed feelings: "However, there are also some races that are on friendly terms with us, but they are few and far between."

"These beasts, even when we encounter some opportunities, we still have to compete with them. Every time we go out to seize an opportunity, it's fraught with danger."

Senior Brother Liu Qi sighed, "I didn't understand before, but now I do."

Ren Renren's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to ask a question with some doubt.

"So... what are we going to do at the end of the year? Are we just waiting for the karmic consequences of our misfortune to come knocking, or are we going out anyway?"

Other sects have various missions, taking this opportunity to help their disciples release their karmic burdens and negative energy.

However, the Shangqing Palace had too few people, and various institutions had been restricted, resulting in many buildings being damaged.

Not to mention assigning them any tasks.

"I want to go to Xiaoqing Kingdom."

Chen Ren sighed. He hadn't gotten this spiritual root for nothing. He had to take good care of Uncle Luo Yunxi's Sanfu Town.
