229: Energy is conserved

With the general direction set, all that remained was to grasp the details and execute them step by step.

Lin Chuping, now stronger, swept his Divine Sense and immediately located the demonic creature that had fled from the Western Regions Buddhist Kingdom.

This fellow was hiding among the crowd that had just been watching the commotion, trembling in fear.

Unfortunately, it had no idea that in Lin Chuping's perception, after he had refined a trace of the Heavenly Demon Origin, it was like a monster in a game forcibly marked with a red name.

The demonic creature didn't even have time to let out a scream; its body suddenly stiffened, then, like residual snow thrown into a raging fire, it instantly transformed into a wisp of pure black smoke, dissipating into the air without leaving a trace. The meager demonic essence and soul fragments it contained were instantly decomposed and purified under the influence of the Heavenly Dao Law, reverting to the most basic energy particles and returning to this Heaven and Earth.

“What a pity,”

Lin Chuping shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of imperceptible regret.

“It seems that not every demonic creature can produce energy fragments. After all, they are something that can only be encountered by chance.” He was still thinking about the great benefits brought by refining Grand Elder Xuan Mingzi's Origin.

“What a pity, energy fragments are not so easily obtained.”

“Host, you don't need to be disappointed.”

The System's voice sounded at the right time, its tone formal, but its content very reliable.

“Didn't scientists in your previous life study and propose that energy neither appears out of thin air nor disappears out of thin air? It only transforms from one form to another, or transfers from one object to another, and the total amount of energy remains constant.”

“In fact, in the Immortal Realm, and even in the entire Myriad Worlds, the underlying logic is also similar, but the forms of expression are more complex and profound.”

The System continued to explain.

“These dead demonic creatures, or any Cultivator or living being, after their demise, the energy contained in their Physical Body, soul, and even cultivation, does not truly 'disappear'. It will be recycled, decomposed, and transformed by the world's Law System, eventually re-dispersed into the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, nourishing the entire world.”

The System's explanation, which used scientific theory to analogize the Laws of cultivation, made Lin Chuping suddenly pause, then he came to a sudden realization.

“Isn't this just like... farming and fertilizing?”

“Clearing out these pests and demonic creatures, the energy they plundered returns to Heaven and Earth, which is equivalent to 'fertilizing' this world!”

Strong!

With the help of the Net of All Beings, Lin Chuping quickly became proficient in dealing with these outsiders.

Of course, this was also due to the fact that these stragglers were inherently weak.

It was as easy as slicing melons and dicing vegetables.

Under concentrated effort to clear them out, progress was rapid.

In just three months, Lin Chuping had dealt with all the outsiders.

The Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth seemed to have become several shades clearer and more vibrant because of this.

Next, it was time to point the sword at the North Abyss Dark Pool!

“Host, do you want to reclaim the power of your Clone, Lin Hu?”

After spending a long time with Lin Chuping, the System had also become very cautious.

According to current data analysis, the danger Rank of the North Abyss Dark Pool far exceeded that of Penglai Immortal Island, and it was highly likely to be the core source of Heavenly Demon pollution in this world, possibly even containing a stableaisle connecting to beyond the domain.

However, Lin Chuping hardly hesitated at all, slowly shaking his head.

“No, Lin Hu's side, for now, remains untouched.”

“Host?”

The System was somewhat puzzled.

“System, your consideration is based on pure power calculation, that's correct.”

Lin Chuping slowly said, “But the North Sea Demon Abyss is not just a target that needs to be destroyed with brute force.”

“That place is where the Devilish Qi is heaviest, most polluted, and most thoroughly contaminated in this world. The internal situation is unknown, and even the Laws may have been twisted and altered. What we dealt with before were just miscellaneous soldiers and a small leader. In the depths of the North Sea Demon Abyss, there might be something more terrifying and cunning.”

“Lin Hu's existence is not just a source of power, but also a 'coordinate', a 'backup plan'.”

“If I encounter misfortune on this trip, at least there will be another 'me' in the world, possessing part of the Heavenly Dao authority and an independent consciousness, who can continue to protect this world, so that it doesn't completely collapse. Or, at least he can know how I failed.”

He paused, his tone resolute.

“This strategic value is far more important than the power he provides. Reclaiming him now would be tantamount to destroying my retreat and insurance. No matter how dangerous the North Sea Demon Abyss is, I must keep this backup plan.”

Lin Chuping didn't say the rest of the words; not only did he not want to reclaim Lin Hu, but if he had the spare capacity, he would even want to deploy a few more Clones.

“Host is truly far-sighted!”

Following such a cunning Host, it really... felt incredibly secure.
