Chapter 249: The General Trend of Qingzhou, Return the Dao to Heaven?

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw the familiar but slightly unfamiliar figure.

"Master Patriarch..."

Lin Chen couldn't believe it when he saw the Patriarch Changchun in front of him.

A few years ago, when Lin Chen met the Patriarch of Changchun for the first time, Changchun's face was as young as a twenty-year-old man, and his whole body exuded an elegant aura.

But now, after just a few years, Changchun's true appearance has changed drastically.

With silver hair on his head and wrinkles on his face, he looked like an old man on the verge of death.

If Lin Chen hadn't sensed Changchun's aura, he would have hardly recognized him.

Seeing Master Changchun's appearance, Lin Chen felt his heart twitch and asked with a frown:

"Grandmaster, how did you end up like this?"

Master Changchun waved his hand and was about to speak when he suddenly coughed.

"Cough, cough cough..."

Upon seeing this, Lin Chen quickly stepped forward and helped Changchun Master.

Master Changchun indicated that he was fine and only said:

"Life is about to end, the oil is gone, the lamp is drying up...the natural signs of aging appear..."

Lin Chen was silent after hearing this. He heard that Changchun Master was seriously injured in the battle half a month ago.

I didn't believe it at first, but now that I saw it, it was more than just a serious injury.

It is clear that the origin has been injured, and his life is not long...

Master Changchun seemed to see what Lin Chen was thinking, and shook his head and said:

"My lifespan is short, and the Yuanying monk's lifespan is not more than a thousand years."

"And I have practiced the Evergreen Jue and have lived for more than 1,300 years... I have no hope of becoming a god, but I won't live much longer."

After hearing this, Lin Chen didn't know how to comfort him.

Nascent Soul's lifespan is limited, and even if Changchun Master lives longer, his lifespan will soon be over.

Even an immortal would find it difficult to resist such a longevity.

"Grandmaster, I heard... you dismissed all the disciples of the Changchun Sect..." Lin Chen thought for a while and then asked.

Master Changchun nodded, not too sad, and just said calmly:

"The Demon Sect is so powerful. If we don't dismiss the disciples, why not stay in the sect and wait for death?"

"If the thousands of disciples of my Changchun sect go their separate ways, they might still have a chance to survive."

"Staying at Changchun Gate is just waiting for death..."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this and asked again:

"Then Patriarch, why don't you... leave?"

Lin Chen frowned.

Changchun Master is good at gathering Qi and dispersing form, and his cultivation level is close to the late Nascent Soul stage.

With such strength, if you want to leave Yan Lai Realm and go to Wendao San City, you can even have a place in Wendao City.

Master Changchun said calmly:

"I told you, I won't live long."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Chen and advised:

"Lin Chen, you are different...you are still young and should not be involved in this muddy water."

Lin Chen pursed his lips after hearing this, he didn't want to drip.

The original purpose was to search for Master Han Jihai, but he has not been found so far.

He encountered Yan Laicheng and other things, and what he saw and heard along the way, how could Lin Chen just sit back and ignore them?

Master Changchun seemed to see what Lin Chen was thinking, he smiled and said:

"Lin Chen, let me tell you a story."

"Thousands of years ago, the Taoist Sect had three disciples with excellent qualifications and ambitions to conquer the world."

"They have been practicing in the sect for hundreds of years, and their cultivation has reached the perfection of the golden elixir. In order to seek opportunities for Yuan Ying, they traveled around the world..."

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly after hearing this, and he thought of the Lou Zixian he met in Daocheng.

There was a guess in my mind that the disciple the Patriarch was referring to was probably himself.

But the three disciples...

Lin Chen reacted quickly.

The three sects of Yushou, Tiandan, and Changchun Sect have the same spirit. It is said that the three ancestors were sworn friends when they were young.

From this point of view, it is indeed true.

Moreover, the three patriarchs are probably all disciples of the Taoist Sect.

The Patriarch of Changchun came from the Taoist Sect Formation Peak; the Patriarch of Tiandan came from Dan Peak; the Patriarch of Beast Control came from Spirit Beast Peak...

Lin Chen kept thinking in his mind.

Patriarch Changchun spoke slowly, his eyes lost in reminiscence.

"Those three brothers traveled to half of Qingzhou, and finally went to the Eastern Region of Qingzhou and the Yanlai Territory..."

"At that time, Yan Lai's territory was not as peaceful as before."

"Demon cultivators and calamity cultivators are everywhere, and mortals are being slaughtered like ants... Well, it is somewhat similar to the current Yan Lai realm."

"At that time, the Ghost Exorcism Sect, the Puppet Hall, and the Sacred Heart Sect were still the three largest forces in this land..."

"The entire eastern Qingzhou region is regarded as a paradise for demon cultivators."

Lin Chen listened quietly and had a picture in his mind.

The Demon Sect has only been in power for more than twenty years, and Yan Lai Realm has just been invaded, and it is already in its current miserable situation.

It can be seen that when there were no three sects of righteousness thousands of years ago, how rampant the demon sect was.

"Later, the three monks traveled all the way, became successful in their cultivation, and entered the Nascent Soul stage one after another."

"Then he decided to stay in Yan Lai and establish a sect."

"Since demonic cultivators are rampant, we should cultivate a group of righteous monks to fight against the demonic sect so that the mortals and monks in the Eastern Region can be at peace."

"For thousands of years, after several wars, the power of the Demon Sect has been continuously weakened. Mortals no longer fear the monks, and the Jie cultivators have become like rats on the street. Everyone shouts to beat them..."

Patriarch Changchun's eyes flashed with memories.

"Ahem..."

After coughing twice, he continued:

"Unfortunately, the good times did not last long... Thousands of years have passed, and one of the Nascent Soul monks is about to expire, and the Demon Sect is showing signs of rekindling."

"Under this situation, the other two Nascent Soul cultivators set out to completely destroy the Demon Sect."

"So, the three Nascent Souls fought a desperate battle with the Demon Sect a hundred years ago..."

"Unfortunately, they failed."

"This defeat was not due to the war, but the general trend of the world."

Lin Chen's eyes widened, and he understood.

No wonder the founders of the Tiandan Sect and the Spirit Beast Sect died and disappeared. It turned out that there was such a battle a hundred years ago...

Unfortunately, they failed.

"But why are the three Nascent Soul cultivators still not the opponents of the Demon Sect?"

"A hundred years ago... the Demon Sect should not be that strong, right?"

Lin Chen was surprised.

At this time, Changchun Zhenren looked at Lin Chen and said slowly:

"Lin Chen, promise me."

"After listening to what I say next, leave Yanlai Realm as soon as possible... This is not a place for you to stay."

"I have dismissed most of the 3,000 disciples of Changchun Sect, leaving only a few hundred disciples, who want to share life and death with the sect... waiting for the final battle."

After a pause, Changchun Zhenren continued:

"You can't get involved in this battle."

"You are still young and have infinite possibilities... It won't be a problem to achieve the transformation of the gods in the future."

After hearing this, Lin Chen was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said:

"Okay, disciple Lin Chen, listen to the instructions of the ancestor."

After hearing this, Changchun Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked leisurely:

"Lin Chen, do you know what the world situation in Qingzhou is?"

Lin Chen thought for a while and said:

"The Demon Sect will be prosperous for more than a hundred years? Is this the world situation?"

After hearing this, Changchun Zhenren's eyes flashed with disdain.

Cursed:

"The rise of the bullshit demon sect is the general trend of the world!"

"This is just a rumor spread by the people in heaven!"

"The real general trend... is the fall of the spirit world, and the high and mighty people in heaven... are going to fall!"

"Haha~hahaha~"

Changchun Zhenren laughed a few times, and then coughed violently.

"Cough, cough~"

"Those high and mighty guys who don't care and claim to be the best will also have a day to worry!"

"How happy, how happy!"

The fall of the spirit world? The cultivators in heaven are not safe?

Lin Chen's heart was filled with shock.

If this was said by an ordinary cultivator, Lin Chen would just think he was crazy.

But the one speaking in front of him was Changchun Zhenren, a Yuanying great cultivator who had lived for more than a thousand years!

With such an identity, Lin Chen had no reason not to believe it.

Moreover, it can be expected that with Changchun Zhenren's background and experience, he should know a lot.

So, Lin Chen couldn't wait to ask:

"Grandmaster, why did the spirit world fall?"

"What does this... have to do with the rise of the Qingzhou Demon Sect?"

Seeing the curiosity in Lin Chen's eyes, Changchun Zhenren sighed.

"Well, well... since I've said it all, I'll tell you everything!"

"The world is divided into five states, and above the five states is the spiritual world... You should know this, right?"

Lin Chen nodded, and Changchun Zhenren continued:

"The spiritual world is originally a rootless duckweed, and cannot be supplied by itself... It can only rely on the spiritual energy and luck of the five states to provide for the spiritual world."

"In this way, the thousands of heavenly people above the spiritual world can be guaranteed to live happily..."

"But the luck and spiritual energy of the five states are limited after all... After countless years, they have been consumed a lot."

"There are more and more cultivators in the sky... Gradually, the spiritual energy and luck of the five states are no longer enough to supply the cultivation of the people in the sky."

"Then there is only one result... Above the spiritual world, all the heavenly people can't guarantee their own cultivation, they can no longer be high above, and can't be extraordinary..."

"By then, what is the difference between the spiritual world and the fall?"

After listening, Lin Chen frowned and thought deeply, he thought of what Jiang Liqian said to him at the beginning.

It seems to be saying that the spirit world does not produce anything, but just like a parasite, constantly absorbing luck and spiritual energy from the five states...

But what Jiang Liqian did not say is that the spirit world is about to fall and the people in heaven are no longer safe.

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something in his mind and stared at Changchun Patriarch.

And Changchun Zhenren's next answer also confirmed Lin Chen's guess.

"Return the Tao to Heaven!"

"Return the Tao to Heaven!"

Changchun Zhenren repeated it twice, with much sadness in his eyes.

"Hundreds of years ago, the people in heaven panicked. They searched through ancient books... and finally found this so-called solution!"

"The cultivators cultivate their whole lives to seize the fortune of heaven and earth for their own cultivation. This is the so-called struggle with heaven and earth."

"Not only cultivators, but also mortals!"

"Therefore, the solution is... to return everything that the cultivators seek to heaven and earth!"

"In short, Qingzhou needs a big war!"

Changchun Zhenren's eyes were even more sad, and he said slowly:

"It requires a shocking war! This war will affect the entire Qingzhou, and even... the five states!"

"When the number of cultivators who died in the five states is enough, and after countless mortals died... the spiritual energy and luck seized by the cultivators can be returned to this world!"

"By then, the spiritual energy will be abundant again..."

"The status of the spiritual world can also be stabilized again..."
