Join the ServerGiven their talent and Yan Yun’s help, reconstructing the meridians for power circulation in their bodies was certainly an easy task.
The two of them completed their transformation in less than an hour.
“Done.”
The husband and wife opened their eyes at the same time, and the blocked power in their bodies flowed out like a fountain.
Seeing her parents complete their transformation, Yan Yun also immediately walked over.
“Congratulations, Dad, Mom.”
“I and my ancestor are completely unfamiliar with the specific situation of this Xuanyuan Realm.”
“You must be careful when you explore.”
“If there’s any danger and you need help, you can use Yan Yun,” Yan Yun said, glancing at a loose floor tile on the ground.
The husband and wife understood Yan Yun’s concern, so they did not refuse.
“Don’t worry, if there’s any major event, the two of us will definitely leave a message according to your wishes.”
“Alright, stop being so motherly.”
“Sister Lingyun, the two of us are ready to leave.”
“This place is, after all, the ruins of the Tianchen Sect.”
“I don’t know when the forces of the Tianchen Sect’s world will send people to investigate.”
“To be on the safe side, the two of us will leave first.”
Su Xingchen planned to leave with Hua Yueye.
Yan Yun knew she couldn’t stop them and could only step forward and give them each a hug, telling them to be careful.
And so, Su Xingchen took Hua Yueye and flew away.
After they left, Yan Yun then returned to the lower realm with a worried expression and Yan Lingyun.
Next, the Tianchen Continent ushered in a period of peace.
Yan Yun also gradually focused her mind on cultivation, but she would also go to the Righteous Dao Alliance headquarters to see Jiang Yao from time to time.
After the passage between the two worlds was sealed, the Righteous Dao Alliance and the Demonic Dao Alliance also fell silent, no longer fighting over some small frictions.
Without the confrontation between the righteous and demonic paths, the Tianchen Continent was only left with internal frictions within their respective factions.
The relationship between the righteous and demonic paths seemed to have eased.
But in fact, this easing was just the calm before the storm.
In the past, the cultivators of the Tianchen Continent still had hope of ascending to the Upper Realm, and their minds were not entirely focused on the struggles in the lower realm.
But now that the passage to the Upper Realm was sealed, they could only focus their minds on their own forces.
In addition, the enmity between the righteous and demonic paths had existed since countless ages ago and could not possibly end just because the passage was closed.
The peace treaty between the two sides only had a dozen or so years left.
During these dozen or so years, they were all preparing for the changes after the treaty expired.
For cultivators, a dozen or so years was really nothing, just the blink of an eye.
Yan Yun’s Poison Sect was also gradually getting on the right track.
The development of the Poison Sect could not rely entirely on Yan Yun’s investment.
Jiang Yun had arranged many tasks, such as collecting spirit herbs and raising poisonous insects to be self-sufficient.
In this way, as long as there was a complete industry, the poison could be solved by themselves.
This was a necessary ability to maintain a sect.
About eighteen years later, on a certain year at midnight, on the edge of the Demonic Dao Alliance’s Southern Barren Territory, the major Demonic Dao sects of the Southern Barren Territory had already arrived at the border between the righteous and demonic paths under the cover of night.
There were many people, and they seemed to be waiting for something.
These people were the Demonic Dao cultivators led by the three major Demonic Daos of the Southern Barren Territory.
They were waiting for the time and also for the orders of their sect’s high-level figures.
Compared to the allied nations, the Southern Barren Territory was definitely a resource-poor place.
If not for the constraints of the treaty, the Demonic Dao forces of the Southern Barren Territory would surely have frequently invaded the allied nations to kill and plunder.
For many sects of the Demonic Dao Alliance, mortals were also a cultivation resource.
As the turning point arrived, the Demonic Dao Alliance issued an order.
After this order was given, many places within the allied nations were suddenly attacked by unknown cultivators.
Especially the several major forces of the allied nations, at night, people from within caused trouble, setting fires and killing people.
Many forces were plunged into a sea of fire.
Many of the elders of the sects, and even some important disciples, suddenly jumped out and attacked their fellow sect members.
Many of the disciples of the cultivation forces of the allied nations died in confusion without even knowing what was going on.
But in fact, the major sects of the allied nations had long been eroded by the cultivators of the Demonic Dao.
Some sects, even their sect masters, were spies sent by the Demonic Dao.
And tonight was the day they returned to the Demonic Dao.
With the chaos in the allied nations, the Demonic Dao army, which had long been waiting at the border, waited for a while and then launched a major offensive against the cultivators on the border of the Righteous Dao Alliance.
Although the Righteous Dao Alliance was also prepared, due to the internal chaos in the allied nations, they could not get effective support.
The defensive line of the Righteous Dao Alliance was riddled with holes by the Demonic Dao’s invasion that night, and a large number of Demonic Dao cultivators broke into the allied nations.
Some of the cultivation forces near the border, many did not have time to react before they were attacked by the Demonic Dao cultivators.
They were already in a state of internal chaos, and now there was an external enemy, so the situation was even more critical.
Some small forces, faced with such an impact, could not hold on at all and were soon destroyed by the Demonic Dao cultivators’ pincer attack from within and without.
This was the preparation of the Demonic Dao for so many years.
Although on the surface they had not had any major conflicts with the Righteous Dao Alliance, in private they had always been arranging for people to infiltrate the major forces of the Righteous Dao Alliance as undercover agents.
Some had been undercover for hundreds of years, almost completely integrated into the Righteous Dao, and had not even cultivated any of the Demonic Dao’s cultivation techniques.
After receiving the news, they would certainly immediately mobilize the Righteous Dao cultivators of other countries to go to the allied nations for support.
The allied nations thus became a battlefield.
The common people were displaced, and town after town was turned into scorched earth.
The bodies of ordinary people and cultivators could be seen everywhere.
The Demonic Dao could be considered to have launched a sneak attack, but they had no choice.
There was a saying that “he who strikes first prevails, he who strikes second suffers.”
Their total number of cultivators was less than that of the Righteous Dao.
The Righteous Dao Alliance might not take the initiative to attack the Demonic Dao Alliance, but that didn’t mean they didn’t want to eliminate the Demonic Dao.
Completely eliminating the Demonic Dao had always been the goal of the Righteous Dao cultivators.
Regardless of whether it was a difference in philosophy or other reasons, just the hostility between the two sides over countless ages made peace impossible.
Although the Righteous Dao prided itself on being the righteous path, that didn’t mean they didn’t want to go to war with the Demonic Dao.
They just needed a reasonable excuse to start a war and occupy the moral high ground.
This had always been the consistent position of the Righteous Dao Alliance.
As for the Demonic Dao, it seemed they had prepared a lot and had even taken the initiative to attack and invade the forces of the Righteous Dao Alliance.
This was because the Demonic Dao was unwilling to be passively beaten.
They also didn’t care about any morality.
Anyway, they would have to fight in the end.
Their comprehensive strength was not as good as the Righteous Dao’s, and waiting would only put them at a disadvantage.
Neither side was a good person, but the Demonic Dao was fighting for survival.
The reason why the righteous and demonic paths had been at peace for so many years was actually not because both sides wanted to reach an agreement.
This agreement was very disadvantageous for the Demonic Dao.
In the last great war between the righteous and demonic paths, the Demonic Dao had been defeated and was forced to sign a peace and non-aggression treaty.
But in reality, the righteous and demonic paths were not in their current state.
Previously, the two countries of the allied nations and the Ji Country belonged to the sphere of influence of the Demonic Dao.
Because they had not won against the Righteous Dao Alliance, the Demonic Dao cultivators of these two countries were forced to give up their power and retreat to barren areas.
The strength of the entire Demonic Dao Alliance was only abundant in cultivation materials in the Central Barren Territory.
The cultivation materials in the other several areas were limited, with no top-grade spirit veins, and the best were only high-grade spirit veins.
This led to the majority of Demonic Dao cultivators having to take risks and cultivate some techniques that could circumvent some of the spiritual energy requirements, and this type of technique often carried great risks.
Over time, the Demonic Dao cultivators became more and more brutal, and the Righteous Dao Alliance naturally accused them of being cruel and unorthodox.
This was also the origin of the conflict between the righteous and demonic path cultivators.
In the beginning, there was no such thing as righteous or demonic, it was purely the internal mutual attacks and philosophical conflicts within the cultivation world.
Then it deepened over time, and finally formed the current state of confrontation.
If both sides were at fault, the Righteous Dao was probably sixty percent at fault, because this was purely the result of the leaders of the Righteous Dao Alliance at that time not balancing everything well.
It could be seen from the exclusion of poison cultivators in the major sects that the vast majority of Righteous Dao cultivators had an indescribable sense of superiority.
They looked down on these cultivators who cultivated the evil path.
Because they believed that cultivation talent was a gift from heaven, they should be superior to others.
And many of the cultivators of the Demonic Dao did not have good talent, and there were even many who were in a similar situation to Jiang Yao, having no cultivation talent but insisting on cultivating, and then creating and cultivating some unorthodox techniques.
This kind of technique broke the shackles that mortals could not cultivate and was rejected by those cultivators with good talent and aptitude, which was only normal.
If this happened on Earth, it would be the difference between a poor student taking an alternative path and an excellent student relying on the college entrance examination.
There was an inherent chain of exclusion.
On a certain day, three days after the start of the great war between the righteous and demonic paths, Yan Yun, who was in secluded cultivation, received a message from Jiang Yao.
Basically, Jiang Yao had to go and support the allied nations.
All the disciples of the Dao Palace had to go to the allied nations to fight and achieve merit against the Demonic Dao.
After receiving the news, Jiang Yao immediately left her cultivation place and came to the main hall of the Poison Sect.
She was not particularly worried about Jiang Yao’s danger.
The current Jiang Yao was already a major accomplishment Divine Soul Realm cultivator, and with her special constitution, her combat power was enough to deal with ordinary Divine Soul Realm cultivators, so self-preservation was not a problem.
The sudden fight between the righteous and demonic paths was actually within expectations.
More than a decade ago, Yan Yun had taken Yan Yun to visit Yuan Mie of the Demonic Dao.
Yan Yun had asked Yuan Mie if the righteous and demonic paths could really not live in peace.
And Yuan Mie’s attitude was that there was no peace, the Demonic Dao had no way to retreat.
After Yan Yun arrived at the main hall of the Poison Sect, the first thing she did was to summon all the high-level figures of the Poison Sect and the high-level figures of the affiliated forces.
The cultivators who received the notice all arrived at the main hall of the Poison Sect within three hours.
The news of the start of the war between the righteous and demonic paths had actually not yet reached the Dao Alliance’s side.
Yan Yun had received the notice in advance and had called them in advance to talk about it.
This was the first time Yan Yun had summoned the high-level figures for a meeting after becoming the master of the Poison Sect.
After everyone who should have come had arrived, Yan Yun then said to everyone with a grave expression, “Everyone, the great war between the righteous and demonic paths has begun.”
As soon as this news came out, the cultivators of the Poison Sect looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn’t know what to say.
