If it wasn't from outside, could it be a local product?
"What do you mean?"
Shen Ying took a bite of the fruit and turned to look at them. "Haven't you checked the Spirit Qi in this world?"
"Spirit Qi?" Lonemoon hesitated and subconsciously released his divine perception. "What does this have to do with Spirit Qi …"
Wait!
He stopped mid-sentence because not only did he feel the Spirit Qi, but he also found that the Spirit Qi around them was not weak. It was not inferior to the Spirit Qi in their plane. But they were clearly in this darkness. Spirit Qi was the purest and could not mix with other auras, not to mention Yin Qi, demon Qi and other Yin Qi. They would repel each other. Even when they were in the void, there were all kinds of energy mixed together. Spirit Qi and other energy repelled each other, so it was not thick.
But it was different here. Although they were in this darkness, the surrounding Spirit Qi was very gentle and stable. There was no sense of rejection. It was as if even the Spirit Qi was not affected by this darkness. It was as if it was born a part of it.
"How can this be?" What exactly was this darkness?
"Why don't we look more closely?" Shen Ying added.
The two exchanged a look and their expressions became serious. They both closed their eyes and released their divine perception. Lonemoon directly observed the surrounding Spirit Qi. Yi Qing, on the other hand, probed into the meridians of the cultivators outside. He saw that whether it was the surrounding or the Spirit Qi that was absorbed into the bodies of the cultivators, it was not the Five Elements Spirit Qi that they were familiar with. Instead, it was wisps of a special black aura.
Lonemoon's eyes shot open. "Holy shit! What is that? "
Yi Qing reached out and activated a bit of the Spirit Qi in his body to test it. Immediately, a white light appeared in his hand. It was completely different from the surrounding darkness. But in less than a moment, it was swallowed by the surrounding darkness. The black light disappeared, but the aura was exactly the same.
"Could it be that this is not Spirit Qi?!" Lonemoon was shocked.
"It is Spirit Qi." Shen Ying suddenly retorted. She pointed at the neighboring area with her fruit. "Aren't they all cultivating normally?"
"But this color …"
"Every plane has its own differences, after all."
Then this difference was too big, wasn't it?
Wait! After talking for so long, she still did not say what exactly this darkness was.
"Master." Yi Qing seemed to have thought of something. In a low voice, he said, "If the Spirit Qi in this plane was originally like this, then why was the Spirit Qi we saw different when we were outside the darkness?" When they first arrived at the place where the black and white intersected, the Spirit Qi there was clearly normal.
"That's right!" Lonemoon also thought of this problem. Why was the white part normal?
"Maybe it hasn't spread there yet?" Shen Ying said.
"Pre-" Yi Qing paused, then his eyes widened. "Master, do you mean to say that this darkness might have existed in this plane from the beginning, but someone let it out, and that's why it's like this?"
"Yes." She nodded.
"How is that possible?" Lonemoon still did not understand. "How can you be sure that this darkness was not brought by an invader?" If this darkness was not the work of an invader, how could it have spread to the entire plane? The plane tree that they saw earlier was about to turn completely black.
"Because everyone is alive." Shen Ying pointed at the door. "A lot."
Lonemoon was stunned. Then he reacted. That's right! If that so-called 'Fallen Night' was really the work of an invader, then based on his power that was strong enough to deal with managers, how could these mortals of a mere small plane survive? And there were quite a lot of them. More importantly, the order of the entire small world did not show any signs of chaos.
Malicious invaders entered other planes with only two motives. One was like those fellows from the Big Dao Organization, who wanted to directly absorb the power of the plane to strengthen themselves. The other was like the invader that Shen Jing dealt with previously, who wanted territory. They did not have the slightest bit of pity for the living beings of the original plane. They even had to be eliminated.
Unless this invader was especially stupid. Not only did he snatch other people's territory, he even planned to raise other people's sons? But as long as living beings did not perish, the plane would not die. Even if he killed the manager, one day the world's consciousness would choose a new manager. By then, wouldn't the invader have snatched it for nothing?
So no matter how one looked at it, this darkness did not look like something that invaded. Shen Ying was right. This could have originally belonged to this world. But for some reason, it was released by the invader first.
Lonemoon could not figure out the other party's intention no matter how he thought about it. "Looks like we have to find the source of this darkness first before we can find that invader."

In the next few days, the three of them stayed on the spirit boat peacefully. There were more and more people on the boat.
Shen Ying was used to staying in the house and did not feel bored. But the few female cultivators in the room who initially did not pay much attention to her suddenly became warm to her. Not only did they come over to talk to her from time to time, but they also often asked her about Lonemoon. They smiled at her amiably, and all of them wore the expression of a competent stepmother.
As a filial daughter, looking at this group of people who had ill intentions towards her father, Shen Ying naturally — without question, without reservation, without hesitation, sold Father Niu.
"Oh, you're asking about what my Father Niu likes …"
Three days later.
The spirit boat finally landed in an immortal city. Everyone disembarked and entered the city. The cultivators from the sects also prepared to return.
Shen Ying and the others came out late. By the time they disembarked, there were not many people around. Just as they were about to enter the city to find out about the situation, a female cultivator suddenly rushed over. She looked a little familiar. She seemed to be one of the people who lived with Shen Ying these few days. Her name seemed to be Lu Lin.
"Young Master Lonemoon, please wait!" Perhaps because she was in a hurry, her face was flushed.
"Is there anything else, Fellow Daoist?" Lonemoon replied.
Lu Lin's face reddened even more. After a while, she said, "That … I wonder what plans Young Master has for the future? Are you going back to the sect? I wonder which sect the three of you are from? If it's on the way, why not … why not follow us? We can take care of each other on the way. "
"There's no need." Lonemoon smiled politely. "We are itinerant cultivators and do not belong to any sect. We will not disturb you Fellow Daoists."
"I see …" She instantly looked disappointed. She stared straight at Lonemoon's face, as if in a daze.
Lonemoon felt goosebumps all over his body. He frowned and said, "We have something else to do. We will take our leave now."
Lu Lin seemed to wake up. "Wait!" She hurriedly stuffed the storage bag in her hand over. "Please take this, Young Master. My name is Lu Lin. I am a disciple of Dawning Pill Sect. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to Dawning Pill Sect to look for me!" With that said, she gave him a deep look. As if afraid that he would reject her, she did not wait for his reply and turned to walk away.
"…" What the hell?
Lonemoon was stunned. He had cheated many people. This was the first time he saw someone rush to give him money before he even did anything.
He subconsciously opened the bag and looked inside. The corner of his mouth twitched. There were not spirit stones or Dharma artifacts inside. Instead, there was a pile of food ingredients, spirit fruits and snacks.
Why did she give him this?
-_-|||
Lonemoon reflexively turned to look at Shen Ying beside him.
"What did you say to her?"
"I didn't!" Shen Ying looked innocent.
"Didn't you say why she gave me a bag of food? “
Shen Ying thought about it and added seriously, "Maybe it's because you, Father Niu … are more handsome!"
"…" Hmm, this made sense. He accepted it! But something felt wrong.
