Chapter 693 The Rise and Fall of the Yiqi Sect in the Upper Realm (Part 2)
This great chaos in the upper realm a hundred calamities ago was called the Land and Sea Calamity by later generations.
In essence, this was a fight between the demon race and the human race over who was the protagonist of the world in the upper realm, and it was also a dispute between the demon race's bloodline inheritance system and the Taoist inheritance system.
The main generals of both sides of the battle were at the level of Taiyi Jinxian, and were only one step away from the Daluo realm.
After a hundred calamities, the highest level of cultivation in the upper realm is still Taiyi Jinxian, and no one has taken that last step. However, in almost every calamity period, there are rumors that someone wants to achieve that step, which can be called the most widely circulated rumor.
Therefore, in later generations, some people speculated that someone deliberately provoked the calamity and wanted to take advantage of the trend of heaven and earth to achieve the Daluo fruit position in one fell swoop. There are many speculations about the identity of this person, but I won't say much here.
However, I don't know if this battle caused too much damage to the origin of the world. After this battle, not only did no one achieve the Daluo fruit position, but in the next few calamities, the overall level of cultivation in the upper realm dropped by more than one level.
As for why the Four Seas Dragon Clan became the leader of the demon clan, there is nothing strange about it. On the one hand, the strength of the dragon clan is indeed strong.
On the other hand, the dragon clan has a blood relationship with almost all the demon clans by virtue of its extremely powerful sowing ability. At this time, it is natural that it has become the leader of the demon clan.
The result of this battle is the same as the result of most of the battles between humans and demons in the heavens. The human race and the Taoist system won. The general trend of the heavens is like this. This is the will of the heavens. As long as the spiritual energy of the heavens is further diluted and degraded, the living space of the ancient beasts will be further squeezed.
The only ones who can defy the will of the heavens are some of the realms that the demon clan has cultivated for a long time. They are similar to the existence of the base camp, and they can still see some of the appearance of the ancient wilderness, but such places are rare in the world. Obviously, the upper realm is not such a place.
Although the Taoist won, it was also a miserable victory, otherwise it would not have become a reshuffle of the power structure.
Among the four sea dragon kings, the West Sea Dragon King's soul was completely destroyed, and the West Sea became a dead sea. The blood dyed the sea red, and all living creatures died. The resentment and evil spirits have not dissipated after hundreds of disasters. Even immortals who enter the West Sea will be eroded. In order to suppress the West Sea, the Taoist sect has more than ten immortals stationed all year round.
The North Sea Dragon King did not have a soul like the West Sea Dragon King, but it was not much better. The dragon body collapsed, the soul was separated, and it was directly suppressed.
The North Sea is also a little better, but it is only a little, and it is even worse than the West Sea, where all living creatures died directly.
Because at the bottom of the North Sea, the immortals created a bottomless abyss, no matter how many resources are used to repair it, it cannot be completely repaired. On the contrary, the extraterritorial demons took advantage of this loophole and launched a large-scale attack, becoming the main battlefield between the upper world and the extraterritorial demons.
The Dragon King of the East Sea saw that the situation was not favorable and surrendered. Although it was despised by the sea clan, he was able to save his life and spend his old age in peace. As a result, the East Sea completely became the inner lake of the Taoist sect, and the power of the sea clan collapsed and had no place to stand.
Among the four seas, only the South Sea was still intact. After the war, the Dragon King of the South Sea became the leader of the four seas. The remnants of the other seas gathered together and expanded their power, but they no longer had the courage to compete with the Taoist sect for the world, and could only shrink to the South Sea.
This was the situation of the sea clan. Turning their attention to the land, it was not much better.
The West Sea became a dead sea, but at the end, the water of the West Sea was stirred up by the Dragon King of the West Sea and surged to the land. The dead water submerged nearly one-third of the land, and the spiritual roots died, and countless lives were drowned.
It was because of such evil deeds that the Dragon King of the West Sea did not die at the hands of the Taoist immortals, but died in the punishment of heaven. Even the artifact of luck was destroyed. Otherwise, it would not be a simple matter for him to perish with his cultivation.
Not only that, a bottomless abyss appeared in the North Sea, and cold air rose from the Guixu. Only one in ten thousand creatures could survive in the cold air. The entire northern region also became a land of ice and snow. Over the past few kalpas, the accumulation of ice and snow has increased.
The dead water of the West Sea spread, the cold air of the North Sea raged, and the land where life was destroyed was almost half of the continent. Although there was the land of the East Sea as a supplement, the loss of the Taoist sect was immeasurable. This victory was a tragic victory.
Some people may be curious. At such a time, why didn't the Taoist sect make a concerted effort to completely defeat the sea clan and unify the world, but let the tiger go back to the mountain instead of raising a tiger to cause trouble.
The answer, in fact, has been said before, although the Taoist sect won, it was a miserable victory. If they really fought hard and decided the outcome in one battle, I am afraid that not only would they not be able to unify the world, but both sides would suffer losses.
A desperate dog will jump over the wall, and a desperate rabbit will bite people. They even really beat the upper world into a sieve. The example of the original world land made everyone afraid.
What's more, what is the purpose of the war? Isn't it to gain benefits? Except for those who destroy the world by destroying the world, they naturally want the world to be plagued by endless disasters. Otherwise, who wants to take over a broken realm? What's the original intention of fighting?
Many people have died in this battle. Everyone is eager to divide the world. Only fools will really fight to the death with the sea clan. Without the desire to fight, the war will naturally not continue.
People are always those who seek benefits and hate difficulties. Even immortals cannot get rid of this stubborn disease. The so-called far-sightedness is only compared with mortals. Drag the timeline into thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even a kalpa, and you will be surprised to find that the so-called immortals are nothing more than this.
After the war, all the remaining forces of the Dao Sect turned their attention to the newly occupied East Sea, busy staking out their territory. No one cared about the West and North, which were almost dead, and they were indifferent even if there was a big disaster.
At this time, Xuanweizi, the predecessor of Yiqi Sect, was the head of Yiqi Sect at that time. He could be said to be the true founder of Yiqi Sect.
He keenly perceived the huge opportunities contained in the West and North, resolutely overcame all difficulties, led the sect to the most dangerous North Sea, fought against the evil spirits, and guarded the abyss of the North Sea, instead of choosing the most popular East Sea at that time.
Of course, whether it was because Xuanweizi was just a small Taichu immortal at that time and could not compete with a group of upper sects, we don’t know. In any case, Xuanweizi’s perseverance and character were evident when he was able to make this choice.
After endless training and great sacrifices, God did not treat Yiqi Sect unfairly.
