What Lu Ye didn't understand was why the situation in Immortal Essence City had always been like this. Where did the insect race in the insect race's secret realm come from? It couldn't be a remnant of the previous Nine Regions era, right?
In his view, the foreign race army that came to invade had always been blocked by the cultivators of the previous Nine Regions era. It was impossible for them to invade the Nine Regions.
An ethereal voice sounded, "When the cultivators of the ancient Nine Regions were remade, they gave me two tasks: to protect the Nine Regions and to protect the human race! Although I have the ability to conceal the aura of the world, which can prevent the Nine Regions from being discovered by strong enemies to a certain extent, if the distance is too close, there is still the possibility of being discovered. "
This was very easy to understand. It was just like when a cultivator was searching for an enemy, he might not be able to find the enemy with his spiritual sense, but he might be able to observe the situation with his naked eyes.
The Heaven's Fate Plate could only conceal the aura of the world, but it could not hide the Nine Regions in the starry sky.
Therefore, if the distance was close enough, one could still see the existence of the Nine Regions.
"More than five thousand years ago, there was a small group of cultivators in the vicinity of several prefectures who noticed the existence of the Nine Prefectures. They began to invade several prefectures and a great war broke out. Although the cultivation world of the Nine Prefectures was annihilated at that time,
Although the cultivation of the Nine Regions had destroyed the insect nest, they also suffered heavy losses. At that time, the vitality of the Nine Regions had not recovered too much, which caused some flaws in my ability to conceal the aura of the world. In order to make up for these flaws, more than a dozen major forces led by Immortal Essence City made a decision to sacrifice themselves to make up for it. "
It was like a balloon with a few holes. The aura of the Nine Regions was leaking out, and there was the possibility of being discovered by strong enemies. In order to make up for these leaking holes, there had to be a huge sacrifice.
More than a dozen major forces led by Immortal Essence City made this sacrifice to perfect the ability of the Heaven's Fate Plate to conceal the aura of the world.
"In order to let them adhere to this task for a longer time, the cultivators of these major forces all turned into soul bodies, which is why Immortal Essence City can survive until now."
"Since there are more than a dozen major forces, what about the forces other than Immortal Essence City?"
If he remembered correctly, the secret realm of Immortal Essence City was only one of the Infinite Mirage Realm. There were many secret realms in the Infinite Mirage Realm, but only Immortal Essence City had soul bodies. The other secret realms didn't have any.
In the Spirit Stream battlefield, the secret realm of the Infinite Mirage Realm would open in a certain place every once in a while, allowing cultivators to enter it to gain experience and explore it. Many people had benefited from it.
"With the flaws in my concealment of's Qi, those forces''s Soul's....................................................................
No one forced them to disappear. It was their own choice.

. The reason why the soul bodies in Immortal Essence City continued to exist was that they acted as a reserve force to prevent any flaws in the Tianji Plate's ability to conceal their Qi.
Occasionally, the Insect Race would invade Immortal Essence City because the soul bodies couldn't fall into a deep sleep for too long, so they needed to wake up from time to time to move their hands and feet.
What Lu Ye heard was a simple explanation, but the truth behind it was true.
What kind of awareness could make more than a dozen top forces at that time make such a choice together?
Previously, there were the human powerhouses of the previous Nine Regions era who risked their lives. Later, there were more than a dozen major forces in Immortal Essence City who did not care about their own safety. The human race's torch was passed down one after another, which led to today's situation.
"So the Insect Race back then was not completely wiped out, but a part of them was left?" Lu Ye keenly noticed something.
The ethereal voice sounded, "Yes, they live in sorrow and disaster and die in peace and happiness. To a certain extent, the existence of the Insect Race can make the human race of Nine Regions not forget the crisis they once encountered. Therefore, I borrowed the power of the human cultivation world at that time to banish some of the Insect Race into a small world, which is what you call the Insect Race's Great Secret Realm. I let them continue to exist, and sometimes, I opened some passages to give the human cultivators a certain degree of experience."
That was how the insect tide on the Spirit Stream Battlefield came about. However, because the strength of the cultivators on the Spirit Stream Battlefield was not high, the Insect Race that left the Insect Race's Great Secret Realm was limited to the Spirit Stream Realm.
It was impossible for Tianji to let the Insect Race that was too strong into the Spirit Stream Battlefield. That would not be an experience, but a massacre.
Lu Ye's voice slowly turned cold. "And this time, in order to urge the two camps to join forces, you triggered the insect plague that swept across the entire Nine Regions!"
"This was the fastest and most effective method." "Many people died!"
"One of my missions is to protect the human race. Believe me, the last thing I want to see is the death of humans. However, you humans have always been at odds with each other since ancient times. It is the same in every generation. There will always be friction and disputes. The two camps have been at odds with each other for so many years. If not for this insect plague, they would not have joined forces so easily. The Blood Refinement Realm is coming. If they are unable to join forces, even more people will die. "
Lu Ye naturally understood this, but he did not argue with it. After all, it was only an Artifact Spirit that was born from the fusion of the will of heaven and earth. It was not a true human, so it did not consider things so comprehensively.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again. "The creation of a camp requires a token. That thing is not your true body, is it?"
Although the Tian Ji Compass in Tai Shan's hand was the same as the one Lu Ye saw, it could not be the real Tian Ji Compass. This thing was currently hidden above the Nine Regions, concealing the aura of the Nine Regions.
Tai Shan did not have the ability to retrieve the real Tian Ji Compass.
"Of course not. It's just something similar to my true body."
"So, the confrontation between the two camps was also facilitated by you?"
"This is the result of natural evolution." The ethereal voice replied, "As I said before, the human race can never get rid of the nature of fighting with each other. Before there was a confrontation between camps, they used sects and families as groups to fight against each other. Then, they formed gangs and formed one alliance after another. As history evolved, these alliances gathered and separated, and finally formed two opposing camps."
At this point, the confrontation between the two camps had become the norm in the Nine Regions. There was no way to pursue the grievances of the ancestors.
This matter really could not be blamed on the Tian Ji Compass of the Nine Regions. Lu Ye thought about it carefully. If there were no two camps in the Nine Regions, could the cultivators coexist peacefully?
Naturally, it was impossible.
Everything about the cultivators depended on fighting and snatching. If there was fighting and snatching, there would be fighting.
Moreover, if the world was harmonious and the cultivators were harmonious, what was the use of the cultivators cultivated in this way? They were just a group of trash who only knew how to cultivate and not fight.
Once the Nine Regions encountered any crisis again, could they be expected to protect the Nine Regions?
Proper fighting was not a bad thing. Instead, it would allow the cultivators to grow better. As for the casualties in these fights, it was inevitable.
"Then, why did you ask me to come to see you this time?" Lu Ye asked.
It was naturally not a coincidence that he could come to the Immortal Essence City from the insect race's Great Secret Realm and see the true face of Tian Ji, but it was intentional by Tian Ji. Even before that, he showed him the development and changes of the Nine Regions, so that he could understand the history of the entire Nine Regions.
"Naturally, it's because of the Blood Refining Realm."
"I have a general understanding of the Blood Refining Realm, and I will try my best to mobilize those seniors. I believe they will not sit idly by." Lu Ye frowned and said, "In fact, since you can communicate with people, why don't you come out in person? You don't need to do anything on purpose. You just need to give the cultivators of the Nine Regions a revelation or guidance at the right time. “
"In the end, I'm just an object. The cultivators of the Nine Regions regard me as the Heavenly Mystery, unfathomable. I have to maintain my own mystery. If the mystery is lost, then the reverence will be lost. The human heart is complicated. If my existence is exposed, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any devious thoughts. Moreover, this is a matter of you humans. The role I can play is only to assist."
Hearing what he said, Lu Ye felt that it was quite reasonable. If a treasure like the Tian Ji Plate was exposed, who would not be tempted? Maybe someone would have some evil thoughts. If they could refine the Tian Ji Plate for their own use, then in the future, they would be the only one in the Nine Regions!
Therefore, the existence of the Tian Ji Plate was not suitable to be exposed. The cultivators of the Nine Regions should indeed maintain a certain degree of reverence for Tian Ji.
"I am also a human!" Lu Ye glanced at it leisurely.
"Your inheritance is much more precious than mine, so I don't think there is anything wrong with exposing it in front of you. If one day someone can refine me, it can only be you."
"My inheritance?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. "Where did my inheritance come from? Not the Nine Regions? "
"No! I am not sure where it came from. Many years ago, a powerful human was seriously injured and wandered to the Nine Regions. Later, he died here. The inheritance you received was left behind after his death. You are not the first person to receive this inheritance. Before you, there were two people who received this inheritance, but they died early. "
"What is the name of the person who left behind the inheritance?"
"I am not sure. I have never asked. He was stronger than anyone I have ever seen. If there was such a strong person in the Nine Regions back then, perhaps not so many people would have died, and they would not have been forced to leave their original positions."
Lu Ye shook his head. "You can't say that. If such a strong person was seriously injured and died, there must be someone stronger than him."
Tian Ji was silent for a moment. "You have a point."
