Yunzhou, somewhere in the Yunzhong Mountains.
Lin Jiang and Cao Ying avoided everyone and quietly sneaked into the Yunzhong Mountains. They walked into a cave, walked for a long time, jumped off a cliff, and finally came to a mountain wall.
Lin Jiang cast a spell, and a hole appeared in the mountain gate. The two walked in. Inside the hole was a space of about 50 square meters. The corners were full of things. There were dozens of storage bags alone, and in the middle was a coffin-like thing.
"This is the sleeping place I prepared for you. No one knows about it except you and me."
"This space was brought back from Qingzhou. The formations and other things have been debugged. If you sleep above the level of incarnation, you can separate your soul and spirit by yourself. If you are below the level of incarnation, you can just activate the formation."
"This is the soul-nourishing jade. It is the best quality I can find. According to the current situation, it will not be damaged for hundreds of thousands of years. This coffin is actually a magic weapon. There is a formation engraved inside, which can..."
Lin Jiang introduced the scene in the space to Cao Ying. He explained clearly its origin and function. Lin Jiang also introduced the things next to it, leaving behind many items such as the secret techniques, elixirs, ores, magic weapons, etc.
"Where is your sleeping place?"
Cao Ying said to Lin Jiang after listening to Lin Jiang's introduction.
"No arrangements have been made yet. I want to protect you. Even if I am asleep, I will be the last one."
"We live together and die together. How about setting up another array here?"
"This place is designed for one person. If there are two people, something might go wrong."
Lin Jiang hurriedly explained that this array needs energy support. If one more person is added, it will have to be re-set, which is too troublesome.
"It seems that you still..."
"Don't talk about this, it's too vulgar. Let's go and see the sleeping place in Qingzhou."
Lin Jiang hurriedly interrupted. There is no time to talk about love now. It is more important to do big things first.
The two left the Yunzhong Mountains and came to Qingzhou again. The array master that Cao Ying found was far more powerful than Zhou Huaiying's previous lineup. What he didn't do, Lin Jiang and his team did.
So far, three small space fragments have been refined. The one in the Yunzhong Mountains was one of them. In Qingzhou, Lin Jiang even cleared out more than a dozen relatively large space fragments and arranged them in the same way, investing all of Lin Jiang's savings over the past hundred years.
"How many people can be accommodated in these places?"
"At least 10,000 people, but I won't give out so many places. Three thousand people is the maximum. I'll give you one thousand places in Zhongxing Sect,"
Lin Jiang said. There are a lot of places, but not so many can be given out, otherwise the news will not be kept and there will be many problems.
"How do you want to arrange it?"
"Tiered configuration, the lowest is Jindan, the highest is Huashen, it must be young and qualified, the rest of the longevity pills can be arranged by yourself, and with twenty years as the limit, arrange a group of people every twenty years..."
Lin Jiang detailed his plan, because he didn't know how long the Heavenly Dao would sleep, so he had to arrange it in tiers. If someone woke up early, he would have to go out to observe the situation. If the spiritual energy revived, he would have to wake up the others.
This requires a very high level of selection, and he must be absolutely loyal, otherwise something big would happen. What if the person who woke up first had bad intentions and killed all the sleeping people?
"I'll make the arrangements. How about the first batch sleeping for three years?"
"Sure, I'm also going to announce the Lin family, but only for the top leaders."
"Will you give quotas to the Five Elements Sect?"
"One hundred. When Patriarch Shi Yuntang is about to pass away, tell him that he doesn't have much time left. A hundred years at most,"
said Lin Jiang. Patriarch Shi Yuntang was a figure from the last two eras. He himself took longevity treasures and didn't have much time left. A hundred years at most.
"Okay, then other sects..."
"I can't control so much,"
said Lin Jiang. He had no relatives or friends in other sects, so how could he control them? At most, he could give Xiao Shadiao some quotas, maybe a few dozen. It depends on how many wives and concubines he brings. He certainly can't arrange for all of them.
······
Yunzhou,
Lin Dingshan and others from the Lin Clan were stunned after listening to Lin Jiang's story. They were all in the early and middle stages of the Return to Void Realm, and none of them were at the peak of the Return to Void Realm, so they still didn't know the specific situation.
"Tenth Great-Aunt, this..."
"Believe what your Sixth Great-Aunt said."
Lin Ying just said one sentence. She believed in Lin Jiang unconditionally.
"Yes, Tenth Great-Aunt, then this sleeping..."
"You don't move for the time being. The outside world doesn't know the news yet. It must be kept strictly confidential. Otherwise, in order to compete for this sleeping place, you have to fight first."
"Yes, Sixth Great-Aunt"
"You choose the candidates yourself. There are a few requirements. First, don't tell them the truth. Take the people away first and find a reason to the outside world. Second, provide your own resources. I have no money and the current resources are not enough. Third..."
Lin Jiang spoke slowly and made several requirements. Confidentiality was a requirement throughout.
"Sixth uncle, I have a question. Do the Four Sacred Sects of Qingzhou have quotas?"
"Not yet. If you want to give them, I can give a hundred quotas, but not now. It has to be later, when things can no longer be concealed."
"Yes, thank you, Sixth uncle."
Lin Dingshan bowed his hands. The Lin family and the Four Sacred Sects have a good relationship. The two families have long since reconciled their past grievances. It would be good to give them a few quotas, so that there will be more helpers at that time.
"Remember to keep it secret,"
Lin Jiang reminded again, and then handed them the list of required materials and asked them to collect them secretly.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed. The Lin family was led by Lin Ying, and the Zhongxing Sect was led by Cao Ying. Each of them sent a hundred sleeping candidates to Qingzhou secretly, and Lin Jiang also selected fifty people from the Wangxian Sect.
"There are peak Jindan, peak Yuanying, and peak Huashen. This is great. I set this formation to give you two hundred years of life. If you take the longevity pill, you can have more life. In other words, if no one wakes you up, you will sleep for at least tens of thousands of years."
"Sixth uncle, if the outside world is in the real end of the law era, there is no spiritual energy, will it be affected here?"
"Yes, but there will be no problem. The formation here is just to maintain some effects. Even if there is no spiritual energy, the previous settings can still be maintained."
Lin Jiang said, for example, the soul-nourishing jade has nothing to do with spiritual power. Without spiritual power, it can still keep their souls alive. As for the body, if it is a god, the body can be guaranteed to be non-corrupted for thousands of years. With some other means, it is not a problem to maintain it for tens of thousands of years.
These people were told the truth on the way. At this time, they were still uneasy and had many questions. Lin Jiang also tried his best to answer them.
After the answers were completed, they lay down in the coffins one by one. As the formation was activated, they fell into a deep sleep. In the end, only Lin Jiang and the other two were left.
"Close this place, come back after 20 years, no more than two groups of people in one place"
"We must also cover the entrance to the cave"
"I know, there will be people guarding here day and night in the next 20 years"
"Okay, let's go and prepare the next group of people"
Cao Ying nodded, and the three of them worked together to close this place, and also covered the outside. Lin Jiang even sent people to secretly guard here to ensure that everything was safe.
The three families acted very cautiously, and the outside world did not know about this matter. However, the top leaders of each sect already knew that the demon king of the demon race had also fallen to a lower realm, which made them feel relieved. At least there would be no more invasions by the demon race.
Because in the current world of cultivation, the combined way is definitely not comparable to the number of demon kings of the other side, but the number of returning to the void and the sixth-level demon king is about the same, which brings the strength to the same level.
While relaxing, the various sects also began to secretly jointly investigate this matter. They searched through various classics, looking for records related to this matter, trying to find an answer.
However, decades passed and they failed to find the answer, but the Return to Void Realm was no longer there. All the Return to Void cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World fell to the Spirit Transformation Realm overnight. The Immortal Cultivation World, which had just been peaceful for more than two hundred years, was once again caught in a storm.
