Most of the sects in Tianzhou nowadays can be considered "orthodox".
Leaving aside the three major Daoist sects officially recognized by the imperial court, even sects like the Wusheng Dao and Zhenkong Dao, in order to gather incense offerings and faith, had to do good deeds from time to time, such as helping disaster victims and distributing food and cotton clothing. It was only because they were not tolerated by the imperial court that they were forcibly labeled as "heretical sects."
It can be said that the most vicious and evil sects in Tianzhou have been wiped out; the evil sects have been exterminated.
The reason for the extinction of the evil faction was the great war between good and evil that broke out more than 800 years ago.
Many righteous families and sages joined forces with the Great Zen Temple, the Supreme Dao, the Zhengyi Dao, and other sects to fight with all their might. Countless people died before they finally managed to kill all those heinous evil masters.
After the demonic atmosphere in Tianzhou subsided, those evil sects that violated human ethics never appeared again.
In the great war between good and evil eight hundred years ago, one after another, ghost immortals at the fifth and sixth tribulations perished.
It was a thrilling battle, but it has been lost to the dust of history and is rarely mentioned.
These things cannot be found in official historical records.
Although the battle between good and evil was not as epoch-making as Pan Huang's creation of the ancient times and the division of the world into the middle and modern times, it was still an earth-shattering and epic era.
Countless heroes emerged from this world, and the righteous and evil factions clashed countless times. After the final decisive battle, the entire cultivation world declined.
From then on, dynasties began to supersede sectarian factions.
If the world before the great battle between good and evil was the "realm of immortals," the "realm of gods," and the "realm of saints," then the world now has become the mortal realm.
Only a few big and small cats remained, hopping around everywhere.
The so-called Eight Great Demon Immortals of the World were insignificant figures eight hundred years ago.
…………
The "Gate of the Void" quickly sank to the bottom of the Blackwater Abyss, where an invisible spacetime barrier lay ahead.
Inside the grotto, Lin Yi stood quietly, and after thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind. With a wave of his right hand, the Gate of the Great Void opened, and a set of the Five Primordial Treasures flew out from the depths of the grotto, transforming into a Limitless Dao Wheel, which slowly rotated behind the gate.
Rumble!
The black water and sediment surged wildly into the Gate of the Void. The Limitless Dao Wheel gently rotated, transforming the black water into primordial chaos energy, which nourished the cave heaven.
The Gate of the Great Void grew larger and larger, swallowing up the sediment and black water in the abyss. The speed at which the Limitless Dao Wheel spun increased, and soon only the surging tide of chaotic primordial energy could be seen.
As time went by, the Blackwater Abyss, one of the Nine Ancient Abysses, began to collapse, turning into a black hole that devoured everything. The earth, mountains, rivers, vegetation... all disappeared.
Space began to distort, and time became disordered, as if the entire world had reached its end and was about to be destroyed.
No, the end of the world has already come.
The pressure on the Gate of the Void is growing stronger and stronger.
Lin Yi even heard the artifact creaking under the weight.
In addition, the chaotic primordial energy contained in the Taixu Cave Heaven has also reached its limit.
This primordial chaos energy is not something ordinary cultivators can control. This energy is the source of all energies, attached to the stars, meaning the power of the stars attaches to the five elements, thus transforming into the power of the five elements. Only after undergoing evolution can it be absorbed and refined by cultivators.
Chan Yinsha and Ao Luan, who were both in seclusion, broke out of their cultivation. Xuan Yao Daoist, who was refining pills, also went to find Lin Yi.
As for the others in the cave, they were either too weak in cultivation and had fallen into a deep sleep, or they had been suppressed and were unable to move.
At this moment, Lin Yi sat cross-legged beneath the Limitless Dao Wheel, with the Chaotic Auspicious Cloud above his head. The surrounding Chaotic Primordial Qi swelled and contracted as the auspicious cloud above his head rolled, seemingly about to undergo some kind of change.
Seeing this, Chan Yinsha, Ao Luan, and Xuan Yao Daoren did not dare to disturb Lin Yi and could only stand aside and watch silently.
boom!
The chaotic primordial energy permeating the cave suddenly began to contract, all of it surging into the auspicious cloud above Lin Yi's head, finally condensing into a round bead the size of a fist.
The Primordial Spirit of the Void appeared out of nowhere and, upon seeing this object, exclaimed in surprise, "Master, I sensed some changes just now. It turns out that you have refined the Chaos Primordial Qi Relic."
This item is extremely useful. If you, sir, can refine three thousand six hundred of them, Taixu will be able to advance further and will no longer fear the Creation Ship.”
Lin Yi opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Even if I wreak havoc on the entire Nine Abyss Divine Realm, I still wouldn't have that much chaotic energy. The chaotic energy I can get from refining those ordinary places isn't even enough to replenish my mana. It's not worth it."
Taixu hurriedly said, "Master, you are wise beyond measure, you must have a way."
Lin Yi flicked his finger, and the Chaos Primordial Qi Relic from Qingyun flew out and embedded itself in the Gate of the Great Void.
Instantly, the power of this magical artifact was enhanced, and it began to operate smoothly.
After refining the first layer of the Blackwater Abyss in the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, Lin Yi condensed three Chaos Primordial Qi Relics.
Boom!
The Gate of the Void shattered the spacetime barrier at the bottom of the Blackwater Abyss, revealing a new world to Lin Yi.
The second level of the "Nine Abyss Divine Realm" is no different from the first level, except that time passes more slowly, and the terrain and landforms are almost the same.
Lin Yi also discovered many cultivators' cave dwellings, but they had all been looted clean, as if they had been washed with water.
In the center of the second level is a yellow abyss called the Corpse Water Abyss.
The stench of the yellow water in the abyss was overwhelming, billowing out a foul odor that corroded everything. Steel thrown in would instantly melt into foam.
After the Gate of the Void sank to the bottom of the Corpse Water Abyss, it began refining once again.
Others go to the Primordial Nine Abyss Divine Realm to search for the treasures of their predecessors. Lin Yi, however, simply took the entire Nine Abyss Divine Realm with him. This time, he once again condensed three Chaos Primordial Qi Relics.
Once we reached the third floor, the situation suddenly changed!
