late at night,

The mountain wind is blowing outside the house, and the lamp inside the house is as bright as a bean.

Jiang Mu sat on the futon with a pale face, looking at everything around him in confusion, and finally landed on a pool of blood not far away. That was when he was awakened by a nightmare while practicing meditation, which caused the retrograde flow of mana and damage to the meridians. , almost damaging the foundation.

But is this nightmare really just a nightmare?

Jiang Mu tremblingly reached out and touched his intact arms and cheeks, feeling his cultivation at the Golden Core Realm.

But the body that was stiff due to the torment of the disease, the severe pain caused by the disease qi going deep into the heart, and the despair caused by being torn apart by wild dogs were so real, vivid, and painful to the bone marrow.

This is definitely not as simple as a nightmare.

After counting with his fingers, Jiang Mu's expression changed drastically. He already knew what year it was today.

If he remembers it correctly, ten years later, the world will change dramatically, the spiritual energy tide will erupt, and overnight, the spiritual energy will dissipate, and all the immortal cultivators will be like fish that have lost the water, and they can only struggle in vain.

Those with spiritual stone reserves should be closed immediately; those with spiritual stone mines should be closed immediately.

The world between heaven and earth seems to have become auspicious overnight. No one can do anything arbitrarily, and no one dares to waste the mana stored in their body, let alone consume the spiritual stones in their hands.

But this state only lasted for a short time, and the fighting resumed, all just for the spirit stone.

At first, it was just to compete for the spiritual stones in the market, but then it evolved into a killing among the low-level casual cultivators, and then it turned into an ambush between small sects and small sects, and then it evolved into a situation instigated by one party. , driving mortal warriors and mortal armies to launch a suicidal attack on a certain immortal cultivator or a certain immortal cultivating sect, just to consume the opponent's mana.

Even the middle-level immortal cultivators and high-level immortal cultivators who maintained restraint at the beginning were eventually forced to get involved.

This tragic war lasted for more than ten years. Not only did at least 50% to 60% of the cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals die as a result, but nearly 80% of the cultivating sects also disappeared. They were either wiped out, fled and hid themselves as mortals, or moved decisively to avoid the war. Went to more distant places.

Although the immortal cultivators were bleeding like rivers, the mortals who were used and intimidated suffered countless deaths and injuries.

At first, mortals dared not speak out, but more than ten years later, when mortals gradually discovered the nature of the immortal cultivators who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, discovered the truth behind the disappearance of spiritual energy, and discovered that everything in the world began to degenerate, even the strong body of the body-refining cultivator was weakened due to the lack of spiritual energy nourishment. When he becomes no different from a mortal, even the powerful monsters degenerate into ordinary beasts, the spiritual grass degenerates into weeds, and even the weird demonic monks can only play a little.

They rebelled, and in the name of revenge, they turned against the immortal cultivators. Many of the caves and caves of the once unattainable immortal sects were occupied by mortals. More small and medium-sized sects that had committed many tragedies more than ten years ago were hunted down. wanted.

Even the demonic monks who drink human blood to refine blood elixirs are wanted all over the world because they don't have much effect!

Thirty years later, when the first dynasty led entirely by mortals was established, the immortal cultivators were already like rats on the street, and everyone shouted at them to beat them.

Fifty years later, when it was determined that the aura could never be revived, the Qin Dynasty even began to consolidate its national destiny.

Several super sects whose families had mines and closed their mountains and gates immediately had no choice but to open their gates and cautiously contact the mortal dynasties, even marrying the sect's most gifted daughter, the once peerless fairy, into the palace.

[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]

Faced with the cruel reality, they gave up.

Because even if they still have the ability to destroy one mortal dynasty, how can they destroy two or three? Or rather kill all the mortals?

The Lingshi mine has a production limit. Without the support of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, just to maintain the opening of the mountain protection formation, a huge amount of Lingshi will be consumed every year.

And if the mountain guarding formation is closed, they will be found by an army of mortals who hate immortal cultivators extremely. An army of hundreds of thousands of people will attack day and night. Even if they can kill all these soldiers, this hatred will no longer be able to stop them.

Reconciled.

One day, the spiritual stones will be used up. What will happen then? Just wait for them all to be torn into pieces by the angry mortals.

In this way, fifty years after the spiritual energy tide broke out, the original framework of the entire world of immortality basically collapsed, and it completely entered the age of the end of the Dharma.

Those super sects married the royal family and thus became aristocratic families. They relied on the last remaining spiritual stone resources to achieve a balance with the mortal royal family.

Several top sects that surrendered were recruited by the imperial court and became the eagle dogs.

The rest, some died, some dispersed, some hid, some went home to farm, worked as coolies at the docks, purified themselves as eunuchs, or went to brothels to perform, opened martial arts schools, opened escort agencies, or opened medical schools.

Those who work as taverns, those who work as bandits, and so on.

Jiang Mu's thoughts wandered slowly, hundreds of bitternesses, thousands of sorrows, and scenes from the past were all diverging in his heart. Recalling the misery he experienced in those years, he couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

Fuyun Sect is not the top or first-rate in the world of immortality. It can only be regarded as one of the local snakes in Qin Ge County.

Before the spiritual energy tide, do not cause trouble, do not cause trouble, practice quietly, and enter the world quietly. Recruit a generation of disciples every ten years, and the disciples can leave the mountain after they have established a foundation.

As the head of the sect, Jiang Mu is only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. In fact, among all the elders in the past generations, the ones with the highest cultivation level are only at the God Transformation Realm. That is, the founder of the God Transformation Realm is here in Fuyun Mountain.

Roots, built a mountain-protecting formation, and left behind a Taoist tradition. For thousands of years, it has been neither good nor bad.

If there hadn't been that sudden spiritual energy tide, everything should have continued on.

However, everything has changed.

After the spiritual energy between heaven and earth completely dissipated, the Fuyun Sect's mountain-protecting formation was immediately stopped. Although the mountain-protecting formation requires spiritual stones to activate and maintain, under normal circumstances, once it is activated, it will automatically absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

operating.

With the mountain protection formation, the mountain gate can be hidden, and only then can the spiritual energy in the mountain gate be ensured, and the growth of various spiritual herbs, spiritual birds and animals can be normal. This is the basis for maintaining the advancement of a large number of immortal cultivators.

The most important thing is that it cannot be seen by mortals and cannot be attacked by enemies.

So carefree.

It's a pity that at that time, Jiang Mu himself, because of his low cultivation level and little knowledge, was stupid in cultivating immortals. When he saw the spiritual energy dissipated and the mountain protection formation stopped, he hurriedly took out all the spiritual stones reserved by the sect to maintain the protection.

Mountain array.

As a result, the entire spiritual stone reserve of the sect only lasted for three months.

When the mountain-protecting formation was shut down again three months later due to lack of spiritual stones, the Tieshan sect next door hired thousands of mortals armed with swords, bows and crossbows to rush into the mountain gate. Using the mortals as cover, the immortal cultivators secretly carried out the assassination.

In the panic, Jiang Mu only had time to escape with five of his disciples, but the remaining twenty-seven disciples were slaughtered.

This almost became one of Jiang Mu's biggest regrets and pains in the rest of his life.

But he didn't even have a chance to take revenge, because the Tieshan sect only existed for one day longer than the Fuyun sect, and was destroyed by their neighbor Mingshan sect using the same method.

"Oh oh oh!"

When the rooster sings, the world becomes white.

At dawn, Jiang Mu woke up with horror. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.

After a long time, there were light footsteps outside the door.

"Senior Brother, I'm back!"

A charming voice came in, making Jiang Mu feel confused again. The owner of this voice was his junior sister Ji Yao.

I think back then, when his master was still alive, he loved Ji Yao very much. The two senior brothers, including Jiang Mu himself, doted on this little junior sister as much as possible. Not only did they respond to her requests, they also cared for her with all their heart. Although there was some...

There is a feeling that all men understand, but——

Jiang Mu felt an inexplicable twinge in his heart. He thought deeply. According to what he saw and heard in his nightmare, his little junior sister had been wandering down the mountain for more than ten years. When he came back this time, he, his senior brother, had good food, drinks and hospitality.

.

It's just that this little junior sister didn't come back because she missed her master, but because she wanted to open a Fuyun Academy in Wugong County three thousand miles away, just to train low-level disciples.

In that nightmare, of course, he agreed without even thinking about it, and paid 3,000 spiritual stones, 1,000 spiritual jades, and a lot of other resources to Ji Yao, just to open the Fuyun Villa.

Ji Yao went down the mountain happily, but ten years later, the spiritual energy tide broke out and the Fuyun Sect's mountain gate was destroyed. Jiang Mu took five disciples to wander in the rivers and lakes. They suffered a lot along the way and experienced several robberies and killings.

Three other disciples unfortunately died and one was seriously injured.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Mu took them to Wugong County, hoping to find Ji Yao, not to mention revenge, but at least have a place to stay.

Who would have thought that Ji Yao has already formed a dual cultivation partner with another super sect disciple, who is also considered a wealthy person in the local area, and with Fuyun Villa as the foundation, he has not suffered much setbacks for the time being.

When Jiang Mu came to the door, Ji Yao accepted them. However, that night, without any precautions, Jiang Mu was poisoned by the secret fragrance. When he woke up again, not only had all his magic power been lost, but his Yuanyang body was also broken.

Even the only remaining sect treasures, some cultivation resources, and a few spiritual stones that he carried with him were gone.

Jiang Mu was extremely angry and wanted to go to Ji Yao for an explanation, but he was kicked out of Fuyun Villa and wandered on the streets with his two disciples.

A few days later, the seriously injured disciple died, and only the last disciple was left to depend on him.

He was full of anger, but because all his magic power was gone and he was reduced to a mortal, he was helpless.

Perhaps the only good thing is that only half a month has passed, and the family of that bitch Ji Yao and her dual cultivator partner were also slaughtered in the chaotic killings, and the Fuyun Villa was reduced to ruins.

hehe!

Recalling the hateful things that made him grind his teeth in all kinds of nightmares, Jiang Mu quickly calmed himself down and looked at the pool of blood on the ground without doing anything about it.

With a wave of his hand, Void opened the door of the quiet room, and there stood a pretty woman outside. She looked very young and had an outstanding appearance. Only the trace of foxy and frivolous color in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows was extremely dazzling.

"Senior Brother, I miss you so much!"

Ji Yao's laughter rang out, breaking through all Jiang Mu's illusions like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.

Because he had heard the same sentence once in his previous life.
