At this moment,

The faces of all the sect leaders were extremely grim. The cold voice of the Longhu Mountain sect leader rang out, "Do you really want to exterminate them all, to fight to the death?!"

"A fight to the death?" Lin Jiu smiled contemptuously. "You think you can fight me to the death? You're far from it!"

"snort!"

"You call yourselves righteous, yet you create zombies and harm the people. Your lives no longer belong to yourselves!"

After saying that,

In an instant, most of the disciples from various sects were shocked by Lin Jiu's words.

Creating zombies?! That's the work of evil and heretical people. Righteous people kill zombies to protect the people's health and safety, how could they create zombies!

This is absolutely not true!

A small number of elite disciples remained silent, though they knew more or less about the inside story.

At this time,

The expressions of the various sect leaders changed slightly as they exchanged glances, hesitating whether or not to make this public. Such a secret should not be known by too many people.

Can,

Judging from Lin Jiu and Lu Chuan's posture, if this matter is not resolved, a major battle today is inevitable.

beat?

They have no chance against him. Lin Jiu alone is no match for him. If Lu Chuan makes a move, they will have no hope at all!

The sect leader of Longhu Mountain slowly said, "There may be a misunderstanding here. Please come to the hall to discuss it."

This matter should be discussed privately. There is no benefit in revealing such an important secret to the public.

Upon hearing this,

Lin Jiu said indifferently, "Misunderstanding? Those two words are too far-fetched. There's no need to say it in some palace. Let's say it right here, in front of everyone."

Each sect leader: !

!

This thing is so stubborn!

The sect leaders exchanged glances and spoke amongst themselves. Then, the sect leader of Longhu Mountain slowly spoke.

"At the end of ancient times, before the passage between the heavens and the human realm was sealed, a sudden change occurred in the upper realm. According to records, one day, demonic energy surged in the upper realm, and black water covered the entire upper realm, threatening to flood the lower realm."

At that time, many top experts took action, but the black water was very strange.

The immortals and powerful beings in the upper realm were all tainted by the black water and transformed into monsters, their strength increasing dramatically.

At that time in the upper realm, the Dao Ancestor led the immortals to resist, but in the end they could not withstand the erosion of the black water. Those immortals and gods who were tainted by the black water were almost immortal.

Just as the black water was about to invade the lower realm, a group of powerful beings in the lower realm joined forces, and with the intervention of the Dao Ancestor, they completely sealed off the passage between the heaven and the human realm, preventing the black water from spreading any further.

At the same time, with the passage between the celestial and mortal realms completely sealed, the yin and yang energies in the human world became chaotic, the universe was turned upside down, and the yin energy was dissipating at an extremely rapid speed.

Although the black water was not poured out at the time, some still dripped, and the zombies were created because of this.

Originally, the plan was to exterminate them all, but because they were extremely yin and evil, they could replenish the lost yin energy and stabilize the world, so they were used to create zombies.

As the sound faded,

The disciples of each sect, whether they knew the situation or not, were all stunned. Those who knew were hearing about it for the first time.

So this is how the passage between the celestial and mortal realms is closed, this is the reason for the birth of zombies, and this is also to maintain the balance and stability of the yin and yang energies of heaven and earth.

this……!

Lin Jiu was somewhat surprised at this moment. Was that really the reason?!

So, does that mean we have to sacrifice a small number of people to save all the lives on Earth?

At this time,

Lu Chuan's voice rang out calmly, "Heh! Is that all it takes to create zombies?"

Perhaps that was my initial motivation, and that remains an important reason, but even more important is immortality—to obtain a powerful body and live forever with an ageless and immortal form. The latter is more important than the former!

If it's only the former, then you've created far too many zombies!

After a pause, Lu Chuan snorted coldly and continued, "You have cultivated the Dao for so many years, yet now you are as if you have never heard the scriptures or met a master. You are isolated from the light, willful and unrestrained, constantly thinking and unable to return to the right path. You are disturbed by the ten evils of greed, anger, ignorance, lust, killing, stealing, harsh words, frivolous talk, and false speech, as well as external worldly affairs, which disturb your mind and body, causing your six senses to move erratically. You willingly suffer the toil and toil, wandering endlessly in the cycle of birth and death!"

After he finished speaking,

The expressions of the various sect leaders all changed slightly; Lu Chuan was right.

No one knows better than them how much of their motivation is for the sake of all living beings and how much is for their own benefit.

but,

That's true, but they absolutely cannot admit to this. If they do, how will they ever get along in the future?

"Sir, you jest. We have absolutely no selfish motives, as Heaven and Earth can attest!" said the Shangqing Sect Leader at this moment.

Not only did Lu Chuan and Lin Jiu not believe this, but even the disciples of various sects did not believe it.

That's too vague and impractical. Doesn't he know his own sect leader?

If it's for the sake of all living beings, that's one thing, but is it possible to dedicate oneself to the well-being of all living beings without considering one's own interests?

Lin Jiu then turned his gaze to Lu Chuan and asked, "Master, could we go up to the upper realm to take a look?"

“Sure!” Lu Chuan replied casually.

Sect leaders: What?!

Let's go to the upper realm. If we go up there, won't the power of the seal be broken?

Or does Lu Chuan have some special method? It seems... obviously not!

Things have come to this point. Although it is unknown how Lin Jiu cultivated to the Ascension Realm, it is certain that Lin Jiu has never been to the Upper Realm.

They were so shocked at the time that their subconscious thought was that if they had really been to the Upper Realm, they would never have come back alive.

Lu Chuan became increasingly mysterious and unpredictable in their minds. What method did he use to help Lin Jiu break through to the Ascension Realm?
