Zombie world!

After decades of strife and turmoil, the situation in the world has gradually become clear.

At the same time, the amount of spiritual energy in heaven and earth is further decreasing, and so is the chance of the birth of demons and evil spirits. This makes the cultivators increasingly detached from the people. After all, there are no demons to eliminate, so they can only stay in the sect and practice hard.

Maoshan!

It has been nearly twenty years since Shi Jian left Maoshan. Although Maoshan no longer has Jindan Zhenjun in charge, the methods left by Shi Jian still enable Maoshan to maintain its position as the number one sect in the world.

Today, Maoshan's headmaster Lin Fengjiao has reached the peak of the foundation-building realm. If the golden elixir realm was a limit, then the peak of the foundation-building realm is now an insurmountable gap.

There is too little spiritual energy in the world...

Lin Fengjiao has been stuck at the peak of foundation building for seven years, and there is no way for her to break through to the Half-Step Golden Elixir stage based on her own talent.

In the Elder Hall, Lin Fengjiao, who was sitting high on the throne of the head sect, lowered her eyes. Maoshan was now in its heyday, and most Taoist sects in the world basically followed Maoshan's lead. Even Longhushan was slightly inferior to it.

The so-called status must have corresponding responsibilities. Now that the disputes and wars in the world are about to end, all factions are well aware of the post-war situation.

Maoshan needs to make its own decision...

"Time flies by, and it has been nearly twenty years since Senior Brother left this world.

As the head of a sect, the pressure these years is enormous. Fortunately, I still have the talismans left by my senior brother as my trump card.

But cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult, is there really any way out in the future?"

The whole hall was silent. Lin Fengjiao had asked himself this question more than once, but he never had a definite answer.

As if he could see that Lin Fengjiao was holding something in her heart, as the new elder of the Corpse Driving Hall, Simu slowly reached out to adjust his glasses, then smiled brightly and said, "Master, why are you so distressed? There are many regrettable things in this world, and being able to protect Mount Mao and this inheritance is our most important responsibility. Master, you have worked hard over the years."

As Simu finished speaking, Chizuru also stood up.

"Brother Simu is right. Given the current situation in the world, even if we can make further progress, we will never be able to break the taboo, achieve the golden elixir, and protect the inheritance of Maoshan so that it will not be lost to the public in our hands. This is enough."

Qianhe's words were full of energy. His cultivation had also reached the peak of foundation building. Qianhe had already compromised on how to proceed in the future.

He did not have the talent and perseverance of his senior brother, nor did he have such good luck. No matter how hard he tried, this world could not support a cultivator to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Instead of worrying about it, it is better to calm down and enjoy the rare peace.

The other elders in the hall were all silent. They were all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage and had already seen clearly what the road ahead would be like. Moreover, since they had not yet cultivated to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, they were not in a hurry.

When Lin Fengjiao, who was sitting in the first position, heard what her two junior brothers said, she slowly exhaled a breath, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but more of it was regret.

......................................................

In the underworld.

During this period, the entire underworld began to become turbulent, and the storm was about to come. Countless forces were already preparing to make a move in secret.

In the Hall of the Chakravartin, at this moment, the Seventh Patriarch was looking at the Fourth Patriarch with great respect, who had a calm expression on his face.

"Xiao Qi, if things go as expected, the war in the underworld is imminent. Hades can no longer suppress it, and the Yama Kings of other halls have also secretly formed an alliance. The situation is complicated now, and it is time to fish in troubled waters. You should go to the world of the living. It is time to lead the sect to the land of Kunlun. When everything is ready, this ancestor will send you to that world."

Hearing this, the Seventh Patriarch was silent. As for the space tunnel leading to that world, the Fourth Patriarch had already secretly explored it, and it could only accommodate great cultivators at the Yuanshen realm. The Fourth Patriarch's cultivation level far exceeded that of the Yuanshen realm, so even if he wanted to leave, he was powerless.

The reason is very simple. They are already dead and serve in the underworld of this world. Their souls are naturally connected to this world.

The Seventh Patriarch wanted to leave, but as the Fourth Patriarch's subordinate, the Fourth Patriarch could deprive the Seventh Patriarch of his position and make him a free man.

As the Fourth Patriarch was a Chakravartin, not to mention that his cultivation level surpassed that of the Primordial Spirit, even if he cut off his own cultivation level, he would never be able to get rid of his identity as a Chakravartin.

This is acknowledged by the heavens, and the Fourth Patriarch is powerless...

"Fourth Ancestor, you!"

The Seventh Ancestor's eyes gradually became moist, and he wanted to say something but couldn't open his mouth.

The Fourth Patriarch smiled fearlessly.

“Well, you are also the seventh ancestor of Mount Mao, an ancestor at the peak of the primordial spirit. Why do you have to act like this? Don’t forget that I am the King of the Wheel of the Underworld, one of the Ten Yama Kings. No matter how turbulent the underworld is, as long as I don’t fight or compete, others will not have the heart to provoke me.

This is going to the world of the living. Take all the other disciples of Maoshan with you. I will erase all their positions in the underworld.

This is good, you all leave, and I will have nothing to worry about..."

Hearing this, the Seventh Patriarch fell silent again. There were hundreds of Maoshan’s disciples and colleagues working in the underworld, most of them were at the Golden Core Yuanying stage, and of course there were also more than a dozen at the God Transformation stage!

All of them will be exempted from their underworld duties. Once they leave this world, other guys in the underworld will surely find out, and then the pressure will be on the Four Ancestors alone!
"Xiao Qi will obey the Fourth Ancestor's command!"

After a while, the Seventh Patriarch left the Hall of the Wheel-Turning King. Now he needed to go to the human world to organize Maoshan, and they had very little time.

If you want to leave this world without being blocked by other forces in the underworld, you must do everything in the most detailed manner before going to Kunlun.

Maoshan in the world of the living.

After Lin Fengjiao finished discussing with the elders, she was about to leave, but at this moment, extremely pure Yin Qi slowly dissipated from the ancestor's tablet.

"After not setting foot in the world of the living for more than a decade, you little guys are doing pretty well."

The one who came was naturally the Seventh Ancestor. The elders who were originally planning to leave suddenly widened their eyes.

"Disciple Lin Fengjiao pays homage to the Seventh Ancestor. May the Seventh Ancestor enjoy eternal blessings and a long life!"

"We bow to the Seventh Ancestor!"

To be honest, this was not the first time that Lin Fengjiao and the others had met the Seventh Ancestor, but this was the first time that the Seventh Ancestor had gone to the human world since Shi Jian left this world.

Nodding, the Seventh Ancestor was extremely satisfied with Lin Fengjiao and the others' respect. "To make a long story short, this Ancestor came here today for only one purpose. There will be unrest in the underworld, and Maoshan has nowhere to retreat. In addition, the spiritual energy of this world is almost zero, and the Fourth Ancestor asked this Ancestor to leave this world as soon as possible!

You don't have to worry too much about this matter. Everything is planned by this ancestor. Even for you, this is an opportunity.

Shi Jian has already established a firm foothold in that world. Now it is imperative for the entire sect to evacuate this world. What are your opinions? Tell us..."

The Seventh Ancestor only uttered a few short words, and first of all, a hint of joy appeared on Lin Fengjiao's originally solemn face. It seemed that there was news about her senior brother. Was he going to that unknown world?

If possible, Lin Fengjiao is willing to try!

As for the other elders, whether it was Simu, Qianhe, or Zhegu, they all nodded silently. Since the ancestors in the underworld had already reached a conclusion and made such a plan, what reasons did they have to express their own opinions?
Besides, being able to leave this world safely is a good thing for everyone.

"The Seventh Patriarch came here for this matter. Since the ancestors have already made their judgments, we disciples will certainly obey your orders!"

As the current head of Maoshan, Lin Fengjiao was the first to respond. None of the other elders spoke out in opposition. The Seventh Patriarch nodded, as he knew that Lin Fengjiao and the others would not refuse.

There's no point in refusing...

"In this case, time is tight, so I will arrange it directly."

"We will obey the command of the Seventh Ancestor!"

This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. Once the war in the underworld breaks out, if Maoshan has not evacuated by then, it will be a time bomb for the Fourth Ancestor.

So they have to race against time.

“Start collecting the important magical skills of the sect today. Collect all the useful elixirs, magical instruments, etc. as soon as possible. I will only give you three days. After three days, I will set out for Kunlun. This time, I will also take you away from this world.

Things are urgent, you should start cleaning up now!"

"What the Seventh Ancestor said is very true. Elders, let's go down and prepare now. The Seventh Ancestor said the deadline is three days, but we can't drag our feet. We must complete it within two days!"

"I'll understand later!"

As the elders bowed to the Seventh Ancestor, they left the Elder Hall and began to prepare.

After explaining all this, the Seventh Patriarch planned to temporarily leave Maoshan and return to the underworld.

However, just as the Seventh Ancestor was about to take a step forward, Lin Fengjiao couldn't help but ask.

"Seventh Ancestor, may I ask, how is our eldest brother doing now?"

Lin Fengjiao asked this question not for herself. Over the years, they have been thinking about their senior brother all the time. The friendship between fellow disciples is hard to give up, especially since Shi Jian took such good care of them back then.

Hearing this, the Seventh Patriarch paused, then smiled slightly.

"Lin Fengjiao, Shi Jian is much more powerful than you think. With his talent, his cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds since he went to that world. He is now at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

At least as far as I know, Shi Jian is almost approaching the late Nascent Soul stage..."

After saying this, the Seventh Ancestor disappeared without a trace. Although the underworld is now in chaos, the departure of the soul ancestors like them from the underworld is not as noticeable as before, but if they disappear for too long, it will eventually arouse suspicion from others.

It's not time to show your cards yet, so try to hide as long as you can.

After the Seventh Ancestor left, Lin Fengjiao's tense nerves instantly relaxed and she sighed softly. She really didn't expect that her senior brother has achieved such success now.

Nascent Soul Realm!
This is an existence that is unimaginable in this world, but my senior brother has reached this point in just a dozen or twenty years. It is conceivable how rich the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in that world is.

"Big Brother, I haven't seen you for nearly twenty years. I thought I would never see you again in my lifetime, but I didn't expect to have this opportunity now. When I see you, Big Brother, it will be time for me to give up the position of the head of Maoshan..."

Shaking his head, Lin Fengjiao, as the head sect leader, also began to prepare. The entire Maoshan still needed him to coordinate the overall situation, and he must not attract the attention of other sects, so some things had to be given up.

......................................................

Liaozhai world.

Shi Jian sat quietly in a cloud. Now he had almost no rivals in the land of Dali.

Originally, Kunlun was the only dominant faction in Li Da. Unless Shi Jian went to the underworld, it would be difficult for him to meet someone who could make him fight with all his strength.

"Master, is the Dali Dynasty just ahead?

Compared to Daqian, the Dali Dynasty is much more majestic, no wonder it is the overlord of this land."

Li Yingqi was a little excited at this moment. The size of the Dali Dynasty was unimaginable for ordinary people. Now he had just come to a county town like the Dali Dynasty, and its splendor was no less than that of the capital of Daqian.

Shi Jian slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the county town that stretched for dozens of miles ahead. He swept his spiritual sense over the area and found that there was not a single demon in the county town.

It has to be said that the environment in Dali is much better than that in Daqian, and this is due to two reasons.

One is that the bigger the country, the more abundant the dragon energy is. The luck of a country is enough to keep the demons away. Of course, this is only a small part of it.

Secondly, the Dali Dynasty was subordinate to the Kunlun Sect, and every year the Dali Dynasty needed to pay tribute to Kunlun with many rare treasures.

In exchange, the disciples of Kunlun Sect will also patrol various places in Dali, which is equivalent to training the disciples and ensuring the safety of various places in Dali. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Alright, little girl, doesn't your master know what you are thinking?

Training here doesn't mean just wandering around in the wilderness. There are indeed many interesting things in this county town. We will stay here for a few days. There is no rush anyway. This place is not far from Kunlun."

"Long live the Master!"

Li Yingqi teased, his eyes full of stars. Who would want to live in the wilderness every day when they can walk around in the county town?
Without saying a word, Li Yingqi somersaulted out of the clouds and headed towards the county town below.

As for Shi Jian, he did not choose to go with Li Yingqi. After all these years, Shi Jian was no longer interested in these things. Compared to playing games in the world, he preferred to improve his own cultivation!
