Zhongzhou, a certain place
"Where is the Great Dao? Why has it disappeared?
I have been cultivating for 1,800 years and am about to achieve the Dao. I have a chance to become an immortal, but why are you treating me like this?" A former immortal cultivator cried out on this day. He had cultivated for 1,800 years and even survived the war between the two races by chance. But overnight, his cultivation level fell, which he could not accept.
"Since the Great Dao is gone, why should we cultivators cultivate immortality? In the past, we thought of the hope of becoming an immortal, so we spared you. Now that the Great Dao is gone, we don't want the Dao heart anymore. Die!" There was also
an immortal cultivator who looked at his former enemy coldly. In the past, he would endure the gap because of the Dao path. Now that the Great Dao is gone, he doesn't care about the Dao heart anymore. After saying that, he raised his sword and killed his former enemy.
"Old thief, you used to be Fanxu, and I was just Huashen. You were so high and mighty that you scolded me like a grandson many times. Today, you have fallen to a lower realm. It is a chance for revenge given by God to me. Take your life."
A Huashen cultivator raised his sword and aimed at Fanxu, who had fallen to a lower realm. No, he was no longer Fanxu, but a Huashen like him, so he could vent the grievances he had suffered.
"I am young, but I have already reached the peak of Huashen. Now that the Great Dao does not exist and Fanxu is gone, how can I sit back and wait for death? If the right way does not work, I will turn to the evil way. I want to become an immortal, and no one can stop me."
There are also cultivators who are determined. Since the right way does not work, they will take the evil way. Anyway, the purpose is to become an immortal.
"It does not exist anymore, nothing exists anymore, destroy it, destroy everything."
There are even worse ones, whose Taoism hearts collapse directly, and they are possessed by the devil, giving birth to antisocial personalities and killing people on sight.

Bingzhou, Wangxian Sect
's Lin Jiang's cultivation also fell back to the Spiritualization Stage. Then he rushed to Wangxian Sect. At this time, Wangxian Sect received news from the outside world and was also in chaos.
In addition to Lin Jiang, Wangxian Sect only had Li Qing who returned to the Void Stage. However, the impact of this incident was a matter for all cultivators. The cultivation realm is the source of motivation for cultivators to strive for. Now that half of the cultivation realm is gone, everyone is confused. They all have questions from the bottom of their hearts, is cultivation still there?
"Sect Master"
"Sect Master"
Seeing Lin Jiang coming back, a group of high-level people started to ask questions, all asking whether the matter was true or not.
"Be quiet, come one by one"
"Sect Master, it is said in the outside world that the realm of all returning to the Void cultivators has fallen to the Spiritualization Stage, is that right?"
"Yes"
"Ah, how could
this be so?" "Sect Master, what's going on, why is it so?"
Even if everyone already knew it, they were all flustered when they heard Lin Jiang confirm it.
"An Jing, this is true, so what? Since ancient times, where have the immortals been? I have never heard of them. The highest level of cultivation in the world of immortals is only He Dao. Now He Dao is gone, Fan Xu is gone, but Hua Shen is still there.
If there is no Fan Xu or above, will you not live? We don't have Fan Xu, and others don't have it either, but others still can't bully us.
Think about it carefully, everyone, if your realm falls, what else will you lose except that you will live a few years less? The ancestors will still be the ancestors, and those who should marry wives and concubines will still marry wives and concubines..."
Lin Jiang said to everyone, trying to comfort them. The absence of the Great Dao has little impact on them at present. They are already in Hua Shen cultivation, and their realm has not fallen. They still have the treatment they should have, that's all.
Lin Jiang's crooked theory still makes some sense, and coupled with his past prestige, the top management slowly calmed down.
Lin Jiang asked them to stabilize the Wangxian Sect, on the one hand to prevent his own disciples from causing chaos, and on the other hand to prevent attacks from other sects. Lin Jiang had told them that no matter whether it was internal strife or external attacks, once discovered, they should be suppressed immediately and forcefully to ensure that the Wangxian Sect could smoothly pass through this crisis.
"Ask whatever you want to ask,"
Lin Jiang said, looking at Li Qing who had never left.
"Master, have you known about the realm drop for a long time ?
" "Yes, Cao Ying fell from Hedao to Fanxu decades ago."
"Will this realm continue to fall?"
"At present, it will."
"Doesn't that mean that there will be no more immortal cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation in the future?"
Li Qing was immediately terrified. The fall from Fanxu to Huashen has already caused many people's Taoism to collapse, not to mention that they have no cultivation at all. What should they do then?
"I don't know. I am not a god, so I don't know what will happen in the future."
"Master, a few years ago, Master took away a group of disciples..."
"I have other uses for them. Do you have any objections?"
"Disciple dare not."
"Go and get busy."
Lin Jiang waved his hand and asked Li Qing to leave. In Lin Jiang's plan, Li Qing was not on the sleeping list. Even if she was given a chance at the end, it would be later.
Wangxian Sect quickly stabilized. In fact, as long as the leader himself was not chaotic, a force could easily stabilize under such circumstances. This was called the backbone.
But not every sect could stabilize quickly. The chaos in the world of immortal cultivation continued. The most important thing was vendetta. Many returning immortal cultivators were used to being high and mighty, and they were very disdainful of those with lower cultivation than themselves. In the past, they could be fearless because of their high cultivation, but now that their cultivation had dropped, they gave others a chance.
God is still fair.
The second is the collapse of the Tao heart. Many ascetics have practiced hard for hundreds and thousands of years, pursuing immortality. Now all hope is gone, and there are no fewer people whose Tao hearts have collapsed.
Some people's Tao hearts have collapsed, which is self-destruction and will not harm society, while some people are directly anti-social, starting to harm others and committing bloody crimes.
Lin Jiang is not a savior, and he will not care so much. He just asked Wangxian Sect to take care of itself.
After more than half a year of noise, this storm gradually subsided. After venting the resentment and anger, it is still necessary to calm down. Since it is destined that they cannot return to the Return to Void Stage, many people have begun to accept this fact.
········
"Xiaoying, how is your Zhongxing Sect this time?"
"For the time being, it's okay. I am here to calm it down, and there is no trouble."
"That's good."
Lin Jiang nodded. Zhongxing Sect is the same as Wangxian Sect. Cao Ying, the leader, has enough prestige, and that's enough.
"The Five Elements Sect is not doing well. Ancestor Shi Yuntang has health problems. It was Lin Ying who took people to calm it down."
"It's okay. I will go to the Five Elements Sect and give some sleeping quotas to Shi Yuntang. He can make the decision."
Lin Jiang said. As long as Shi Yuntang still has power to bring benefits to the disciples of the Five Elements Sect, Shi Yuntang can quickly stabilize the disciples of the Five Elements Sect.
"I don't know when the next realm will fall."
"Maybe it will be faster, thirty or forty years is possible. Be prepared. The next impact will be greater."
Lin Jiang said. After all, only a few people have returned to the void. After more than two hundred years of recovery in the entire Xiuxian world, there are only a hundred people, and there are at least hundreds of people who have transformed into gods. Once they fall to the Nascent Soul realm, the impact will be greater. If they fall to the Golden Core, it will be even more terrible.
"It will definitely be greater. This time, many people's Taoism has collapsed. What do you think, should we announce the news in advance?"
"Is there any point in announcing it now? In fact, most people have guessed it."
Lin Jiang said. There is no shortage of smart people in the Xiuxian world. Hedao is gone, and Fanxu is gone. There will definitely be people who think that they will continue to fall in realm.
"I mean the secret method of sleeping"
"No, resources are limited, we don't even have enough"
Lin Jiang refused directly. The secret method of sleeping requires some special materials, such as soul-nourishing jade. These things are limited. Once they announce the secret method, these things will inevitably be snatched up by various sects, and the price will definitely skyrocket.
Seeing Lin Jiang so determined, Cao Ying didn't know what to say. Lin Jiang quickly went to the Lin family. The Lin family is a family power and is more stable. A little unrest can be easily suppressed.
After Lin Jiang saw the Lin family, he went to see Shi Yuntang. Shi Yuntang was already exhausted and had been holding on. Seeing Lin Jiang coming back, he was very excited. Lin Jiang revealed part of the truth to him.
"To make up for the way of heaven with one's body, this is the result?"
After hearing what Lin Jiang said, Shi Yuntang became even more excited. How could he know that this would be the result.
"Ancestor Shi, this is destined to happen. I can't stop it. I don't have the strength to do so."
"I don't blame you. Now that things have come to this, the important thing is to resolve the current chaos."
"Yes, that's why I discussed this with Ancestor Shi. Five Elements Sect, are you willing to join my plan?"
"Of course I am willing. According to this trend, there will be no immortal cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation sooner or later, and the Five Elements Sect will also collapse. If I can leave a legacy for the Five Elements Sect, I will be very happy."
"Then please ask Ancestor Shi to prepare resources and prepare sleeping disciples. The next batch of sleeping people will be in twenty years."
"Okay, I will let Zhang Chengzu take charge of this matter. Zhang Chengzu is the grandson of your master Zhang Wanjing. Please take care of him when the time comes."
Shi Yuntang said immediately, and said a name that Lin Jiang could not refuse. Lin Jiang and the Five Elements Sect originated from Zhang Wanjing. Let the children of the Zhang family take charge of this matter. For this favor, Lin Jiang would not refuse. Lin
Jiang also smiled when he heard the name. He knew Shi Yuntang's little thoughts, and Lin Jiang did not reveal them, so he agreed.
The Sleeping Plan was still being prepared, and the impact of realm drop on the world of immortal cultivation continued to appear. Without immortal cultivators above the Return to Void level, the impact on the world of immortal cultivation was extremely great. In addition to the balance between forces being broken, it also affected all aspects, such as some powerful magic weapons and elixirs, which were also facing the dilemma of being unable to be refined.
Just like the top alchemists like Gu Cheng, he had the skills, but his cultivation and spiritual power output could not keep up, so some high-level elixirs could not be refined. As for Lin Jiang's invitation to Qingzhou to refine space fragments, it had already stopped.
After another thirty years, the realm drop happened again, and the world of immortal cultivation ushered in greater turmoil.
