Chapter 1261 The Disaster of Immortal Netherworld

The old man called Zixu Zhenjun and the young man called Yin Jiuzi were quite friendly, just like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time and met again, but people who knew them well knew that it was not the case at all.

Unlike the human world, the barrier between the immortal world and the underworld is tough but not indestructible. Many successful immortal and underworld cultivators can find ways to break into each other's world. It's just that the essential difference between the immortal spirit and the underworld spirit makes few people on both sides willing to do so. Except for things like collecting treasures and spiritual materials, few people in the two worlds are willing to go deep into each other's world.

But they don't want to, that depends on whether the Heavenly Dao agrees. The human world has a major cleansing every 120,000 years, and the immortal and underworld worlds will have a war every 360,000 years under the inspiration of their respective Heavenly Daos.

This war is so wide that it covers every cultivator in the two worlds. No matter who wants to stay out of it, it is impossible.

You can hide, you can not participate, but you must be prepared to be abandoned by the Heavenly Dao. Once you are abandoned by heaven, the immortal spirit will leave you, and with it the immortality brought by the immortal spirit. You can only watch yourself grow old without being able to stop it. You have no chance to repent, because the next immortal and underworld war will take more than 300,000 years. Without the protection of immortal spirit, you can't even wait for a fraction of the years.

Although the war was cruel, it also promoted the renewal and enterprising vitality of the two worlds in disguise, making the cultivators who have achieved immortality dare not stop their steps, desperately comprehending the Tao and tempering their Taoism, in order to save their lives in the next war.

In this way, although many immortal cultivators and underworld cultivators fell in each war, more heroes rose. Zixu Zhenjun and Yin Jiuzi are the best in the immortal world and the underworld. It is said that both of them have survived six wars, far exceeding the other cultivators in the two worlds. Whether it is the record or the Taoism, it is easy to be compared with them, and naturally they are respected as the leaders of their respective worlds.

In the past, every time the two met, it would inevitably lead to a catastrophe. Therefore, when the two jointly initiated this secret meeting, many people could not believe their ears, but they changed their minds and felt relieved.

This time, the disaster was far beyond the power of one world to resolve. Only the two sides could have a chance of survival.

So, the first secret meeting was facilitated in this way. Both parties who reached an agreement were very confident, but the result made them feel deeply depressed.

It is hard to imagine that the two worlds of immortals and the underworld would join forces, and it is even harder to imagine that even so, their attempts still ended in failure. 　Today's gathering is the third time. All the methods that can be thought of have been mentioned and tried in the previous two times. This time, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, no longer as excited as the previous two times.

Seeing that the atmosphere was low, Zixu Zhenjun and Yin Jiuzi looked at each other, and a decisive look flashed in their eyes.

"Today, I called everyone here to see if everyone has any better ideas to think of."

After a light cough, Zixu Zhenjun spoke first.

After talking for a long time, no one answered. True Lord Zixu was not surprised. He sighed slightly and looked at Yin Jiuzi.

Yin Jiuzi understood, chuckled and said: "Since no one has an idea, then listen to us. I have discussed with True Lord Zixu, we are going to cleanse the human world again and eradicate all the evil roots that hinder our longevity!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked up in astonishment, and in addition to shock, there was also a bit of relief in their eyes.

Since the three realms were united, the cultivators of the immortal and dark realms have not had a day of peace. At first, some people were full of excitement, thinking that they could come to the human world again to show their skills, but then some people found something wrong, because the immortal spirit and the Yin spirit were lost at an alarming rate, and the mixed spirit of the human world was also pouring into the two realms at a faster rate, making the two realms as impure as the human world.

This discovery immediately made many immortal cultivators and dark cultivators feel dissatisfied, but this was the trend of heaven, and they wanted to stop it but they were powerless. But then, they couldn't help but stop it, because along with the flow of the two qi of immortality and the underworld, their own immortality also disappeared. Whether it was dragged down by the flow of the two qi or infected by the spiritual energy of the human world, more and more people felt the existence of their own deadlines.

The first fall occurred in the immortal world. An old immortal who had achieved enlightenment in his later years died in front of many friends. Others wanted to help him but it was useless. They could only watch him age rapidly with fear in his eyes. Soon he died and turned into a dead body like rotten wood.

An immortal who had lived for a long time died of old age. It sounds so absurd and ridiculous, but those who witnessed it with their own eyes were all horrified and full of fear for their own future.

They didn't know whether they would also be like this person, and die of old age between heaven and earth at some time and moment.

Not long after this incident, the second one happened, followed by the third and fourth. Until the moment when the three realms completely matched, the terrifying momentum slowed down, and everyone also summed up a pattern from so many murders. Those who died were all low-level immortals with low immortal power. Some became immortals too late and did not have much time to practice, and some did not make progress and only wanted to enjoy themselves because their immortal power was not deep enough. That's why they died in the first impact.

However, this does not make people feel at ease.

Although the momentum slowed down, it did not stop.

The immortal spirit is still lost, and the immortal power in their bodies is still disappearing. Once the immortal power is completely dissipated, they will inevitably face the coming of the end.

All this must be stopped, otherwise the immortal will no longer be immortal, and will be no different from ordinary people.

But, how to do it?

Some people are in seclusion, which is useless.

Some people set up formations to confine the three realms, but it was useless. Even the immortal formation could not isolate the great power of heaven and earth.

Some people found that the immortal energy in the immortal crystals was still intact and not damaged, and immediately began to plunder them, but this could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. No matter how many immortal crystals there are, they will eventually run out, and more and more people are learning about this and the competition is getting more and more intense. If it weren't for the suppression of Zixu Zhenjun, the immortal world would probably have started a civil war.

What to do?

No one knows.

There is a well-known way to separate the three realms again, which may still save the current situation, but this is simply a dream.

They don't know why the three realms merged into one, but they are very clear about their abilities and know that separating the three realms is something that they can't do even if all of them are added together.

What if they unite with the underworld?

Some people had this idea, but the news they sent back after they sent people to investigate made them both terrified and stunned, and at the same time, there was a hint of gloating pleasure.

It turned out that the underworld was in chaos just like the immortal world, and the Yin spirit was also constantly lost. Some little ghosts with low Taoism had already died, which was even worse than the immortals. Without a physical body, they could not even leave a trace.

The person sent to investigate was discovered by the underworld cultivators, but was not killed. Instead, he was asked to bring back the words of Yin Jiuzi, the leader of the underworld, to Zixu Zhenjun.

After learning about this, Zixu Zhenjun did not doubt him. Facing such a life-and-death crisis, Yin Jiuzi's cleverness could not have other meaningless bad thoughts.

So the two of them each brought people to talk to the void, and the first secret meeting was thus facilitated. Putting aside the previous hostility and intrigue, the two sides, who were open and honest, reached a decision without much effort, and wanted to gather the greatest strength of both sides to seal the entire human world, so as to prevent the loss of the two spirits of immortals and the underworld.

Many people in the human world are curious about why the masters of the immortal world and the underworld did not appear in the human world, but they did not know that they did not come but did not dare to. Just as Yuwen Taihao was laughing at the immortals in the immortal world missing a good opportunity, he had no idea that the immortal and the underworld had joined forces to cut off the immortal spirit that he had brought with great difficulty.

With the endless sea that turned into a river blocking the way, no one knew what the people in the two worlds were doing. With the wild monsters and wild beasts that rushed out of the endless sea blocking the way, no one dared to go through them to see the wonders on the land of the two worlds.

Therefore, the preparations of the two worlds were not hindered at all, and they were so smooth that even they themselves could not believe it. Until the moment when the last immortal formation was arranged, their hearts finally settled down.

Set up the formation and seal it.

Under the guidance of Zixu and Yin Jiuzi, everyone put all their efforts into it. The immortal formations turned around one by one and gradually connected into one, forming a mysterious formation that even many immortal cultivators who were good at formations could not understand.

However, when the yang energy led by Zixu and the yin energy led by Yin Jiuzi gathered together, the result of the circulation of yin and yang did not appear. What was obtained was only the violent conflict between the yin and yang poles, and the explosion of the formations.

Many people saw the meteor shower. Mortals only felt that it was beautiful, while cultivators secretly speculated whether it was some great power fighting in the sky.

Who knows how many true immortals and ghosts were taken away by the meteor shower? If it weren't for their deep cultivation and timely reaction, even Zi Xu and Yin Jiuzi would have fallen in it. You have to know that they are the core of the yin and yang poles of the formation.

The cultivators in the human world didn't know that they had escaped a conspiracy without knowing it, while the people in the immortal and underworld worlds knew that they would face disaster soon.

Some people gritted their teeth, some were dejected, but Zi Xu and Yin Jiuzi did not give up. Sealing the human world is only the best of several methods. If it doesn't work, then try another method.

If sealing the human world doesn't work, then seal the immortal and underworld worlds. As long as the connection between the three worlds can be cut off, which one can't be sealed?

But the result of several attempts still ended in failure. The backlash of the immortal world and the underworld was even more severe than that of the human world, and they couldn't even arrange the formation completely.

Just when everyone was desperate, an immortal cultivator came up with an idea. Unlike others, this person did not participate in the sealing, but instead pursued the lost immortal spirit energy into the human world, carefully studied the root cause of the problem, and the conclusion he came to was also shocking.

He found that the blending of spirit energy after the three realms merged was certainly the inevitable trend of the general trend, but more of it was man-made.

You must know that spirit energy is a spiritual object born from the dark, whether it is a living soul or a dead soul, it has been unconsciously absorbing these spiritual objects since the moment of birth. Among them, some people will turn passive into active after obtaining the law of refining, and these people are cultivators.

The more spirit energy a cultivator absorbs, the more exquisite his cultivation will be, until the accumulation changes, which is a realm breakthrough. The result after the breakthrough is that more and more pure spirit energy needs to be absorbed and refined, so as to ensure that one's cultivation continues to improve.

However, the mixed spirit energy in the human world always has a limit, and it is almost impossible to continue to refine it after reaching the ascension period. Especially in the later stages of ascension, the spiritual energy of the outside world is probably not as rich and pure as that of the cultivators themselves. Spiritual objects have become poisonous, and they need to practice in seclusion from time to time to ensure that their cultivation does not decline. Moreover, the place of seclusion must be a blessed place with rich spiritual energy.

If they stay in the human world, these people will die sooner or later. The cause of death is not only the end of lifespan, but also the collapse of Taoism due to the inability to curb the decline of cultivation. The higher the cultivation, the easier this situation will happen.

Seeing that the magic power they had obtained after decades or even hundreds of years had become messy within a few days of leaving the retreat, and the result of refining was that their cultivation level dropped sharply by nine out of ten, this kind of useless blow was okay once or twice, but if it happened again and again, even the most determined people would inevitably be discouraged, and it was reasonable that their Taoism would be unbalanced or even collapsed over time.

And if these people want to be free, there is only one way - to become immortals.

Only the immortal spirit of the immortal world can meet their needs and give them the immortality they have been waiting for all their lives.
