Chapter 632: The Beginning of Troubled Times

Chapter 632: The Beginning of Troubled Times

The world today is different from the world Li Yuan saw when he came out of the mountains.

Zhenmo Pass has been experiencing wars for decades. Anyue and Dongji, two powerful countries, have cooperated to spread the methods of cultivation throughout the world, and many regular practitioners have emerged in the world.

Those irregular and unorthodox practices, such as sorcerers and witch doctors who harmed others, were suppressed by the two emperors.

In these turbulent times, the human race needs to accumulate strength quickly. If the cultivation system cannot be unified, and the practitioners are in chaos and have different directions, they will be like headless flies and will inevitably cause disasters.

The emergence of a large number of practitioners has also brought tremendous changes to the human world.

Even some common people have followed the trend of practicing cultivation. Even if they do not have the talent for cultivation, they have learned some martial arts.

The pressure from demons and immortals may be difficult to resist, but if we encounter some man-made disasters in the future, we will still have some resistance.

The smooth spread of the practice of cultivation has benefited from the advancement of spiritual technology. For example, the sound transmission device developed by An Yue uses special materials to transmit invisible ripples, with fixed frequency symbols, to quickly transmit the practice of cultivation to various places...

Some spirit-gathering devices developed by Lingke have accelerated the progress of practitioners' cultivation; and powerful practitioners can endow Lingke with array patterns and spells to enhance the ability of Lingke to create things.

The path of spiritual practice and the path of spiritual science complement each other and are in a state of mutual promotion.

However, just when everything was on the rise, the catastrophe that had been brewing for decades finally began to show its ruthless fangs.

Some immortals who apparently have "no background" emerged from all over the world.

Among the scattered immortals, there are those who are powerful enough to be close to being great gods; there are also those who are new immortals, whose strength is only comparable to that of the sixth or seventh-rank immortal gods in the world.

They are neither immortals from heaven nor disciples of hidden forces, but they sense that a catastrophe is approaching, and begin to wreak havoc across the human world, fighting for all kinds of precious spiritual resources.

For example, the mineral veins that exuded spiritual energy were simply intercepted by the immortals, and some unkind people even destroyed the foundations.

For example, the immortals also dared to covet the elixirs and rare items that had been nurtured for years, and they worked together to suppress the ordinary mountain and river gods, snatched them away ruthlessly, and then fled in all directions, making it impossible for the ordinary mountain and river gods to track them.

There are also some vicious people who have evil intentions and attack innocent mortals, wanting to use the blood of living beings to refine some evil weapons.

They are not the gods of heaven, so they are not bound by the heavenly rules and are not afraid of the so-called merit and cause and effect. Even if they will be punished for their karma in the future, they must at least survive this catastrophe first!

Those immortals usually live in seclusion from the world, but now the atmosphere in the Three Realms is becoming more and more depressing, and they can no longer stay there. They try to snatch the resources of the human world, enhance their foundation, and preserve themselves.

They scrambled for human resources, which not only angered many mountain and river gods, but also angered the practitioners in the world.

But the practitioners in the human world were still too weak to rival those immortals. They watched helplessly as the immortals plundered precious practice resources and were filled with anger.

Therefore, the practitioners united with the local gods of mountains and rivers, and filed complaints to Anyue, begging Anyue, begging the god of Anshan, to punish these evildoers!

The gods of mountains and rivers all knew that the main forces of the heavenly court were now fighting in the secret realm and the innate forces, and distant water could not quench nearby fires. If anyone was the most useful to ask for help, it would only be the Anshan Mountain God who stayed in the human world all year round and liked to be active everywhere!

On top of Anshan.

More than a dozen mountain and river gods came to visit, and many of them had discussed "progress" with Li Yuan in the past.

"The scattered immortals are causing troubles in the world. For some reason, the Earth Mother has never responded..."

"Mountain God Anshan, you must help us get revenge!"

The mountain god of Xuanshan had red eyes and a face full of anger.

Over the years, these mountain gods under Li Yuan's command have been working diligently to "make a living", putting aside their so-called airs of immortals and gods, trying their best to interact with mortals, bless the world, and protect the area.

The effect was quite significant. Many ordinary people began to believe in the local mountain gods again, setting up tablets and burning incense.

But who would have thought that just when we thought the 'future was promising', these immortals would appear and cause chaos!

It would be fine if they just joined forces to suppress and fight for resources, but they would not go to Li Yuan for help.

However, some of the immortals were vicious and attacked mortals. Due to their low divine powers, they were unable to stop them, causing resentment among the people and wailing among the people.

The mortals only knew that it was the immortals who were causing the rebellion, but they could not tell which was which, so they blamed part of their resentment on the gods of mountains and rivers, believing that they were the ones causing the rebellion!

Those immortals also knew their limits, and although they had the strength to fight, they did not provoke any mountain and river gods who had reached the ancient level, and just picked on the weaker ones.

So much so that when the weak mountain and river gods asked for help, most of the ancient mountain and river gods chose to look on indifferently, not wanting to get into trouble!

The Jade Envoys in charge of the Mountains and Rivers seemed to be aware that there were some abnormalities behind those "immortals without backgrounds". They only promised to report to the Heavenly Court and did not dare to show up in person to help.

But as the saying goes, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. By the time the matter is reported to higher levels and people are sent to help, it will be too late and the mountain and river gods in various places will be plundered.

Many mountain and river gods were desperate and helpless. After begging all parties in vain, they had no choice but to turn to Li Yuan for help.

In fact, Li Yuan had also heard about the chaos and even thought about taking the initiative to help.

But Laojun said calmly: "The people's faith is unstable, and the immortals and gods are not united. You can save Anshan, but you can't save the world."

"Only when all the immortals in the world are united can the situation in the world be changed."

The main forces in Heaven are busy and the big guys have no time to take care of the human world. Laojun's words seemed to have some hint to Li Yuan.

Of course, Laojun was afraid that Li Yuan, a fool, wouldn’t understand, so he almost threw the hint directly in Li Yuan’s face.

When the gods of mountains and rivers came to pay their respects, Laojun took the two powerful men Tianxuan and Yunxia and disappeared, leaving the matter entirely to Li Yuan.

After Li Yuan understood the meaning, he did not disappoint Laojun.

He first helped the mountain gods under his Jade Order priesthood to drive out those wandering immortals.

With Laojun secretly instructing him from behind, Li Yuan no longer cared about anything. He spoke out openly, calling on the ancient mountain and river gods from all sides to work together to drive out the rebellious immortals and maintain peace on earth.

Li Yuan's words were quickly spread by the mountain gods under his command by appealing to their emotions and reasoning, as well as using naked pressure.

Soon, Li Yuan's call triggered responses from all parties.

At the mountain tribe gathering that year, the green-clad ancient mountain god who sneered at Li Yuan's jumping figure appeared and shouted to Li Yuan across half a human space.

"The great catastrophe is approaching, and the chaos in the world is just the beginning. Anshan Li Yuan, you speak up now, are you trying to be the leading immortal and order us to unite as one?"

This ancient mountain god had no ill intentions, but he undoubtedly saw the significance of Li Yuan's words at this time.

There are calm doubts, and naturally there are also fierce oppositions and doubts.

A certain ancient river god took action and assisted the surrounding mountain and river gods to drive away those scattered people, and preached in a cold voice:

"Anshan Li Yuan, if you want to make trouble, go to your Mountain Tribe and don't involve my River Tribe!"

"If you act like you are superior to us, don't blame us for not giving you face!"

An ancient mountain god from the mountain tribe stood up and said, "The mountains and rivers have never been separated. Now the world is in chaos. Although Anshan Li Yuan is young and a little reckless, he has good intentions. You are so excited. Could it be that the chaos of the scattered immortals has something to do with you?"

He seemed to know some inside information, and he also saw with his own eyes some rebellious immortals who, after robbing the resources of a mountain god around him, went to the territory of a river god and were treated as guests of honor!

This statement aroused condemnation from many river gods.

Afterwards, the many mountain gods of the mountain tribe naturally refused to give in, and the two sides started quarreling. The peace that had been maintained on the surface for many years was torn apart in an instant.

People’s hearts are not unified, but the minds of immortals and gods in the world are even more unified.

The rebellion of the scattered immortals has not yet ended, and a conflict between the immortals and gods seems to be about to break out.

The Mountain Tribe believes in the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains, and the River Tribe believes in the Lord of Ten Thousand Rivers, but those two big guys are too far away.

Baishanji is in the heaven all year round, and only listens to the reports of the Jade Envoys. However, those Jade Envoys are often timid and dare not get involved in trouble, so they are difficult to trust...

In addition, the world is unstable today and many bigwigs have no time to care about the human world, so many things are more difficult to handle than before.

Perhaps it was driven by the apocalypse, or perhaps it was long-standing resentment, but for the sake of a common cause, the mortal gods and immortals in the mountains and rivers quarreled more and more fiercely, neither of them was willing to back down, and no one was willing to submit to the other.

In Li Yuan's opinion, the reason for all this is that there is no manager who can convince the gods and immortals on earth.

In other words, the world lacks an existence that can suppress all the immortals and gods.

But it's very simple, he just needs to be the one.
