Chapter 694 The rise and fall of the Yiqi Sect in the Upper Realm (3)

Xuanweizi led his disciples to guard Beihai and repair the abyss of the North Sea, which was an immeasurable merit. Although the small Yiqi Sect at that time could not do much, this gesture naturally brought huge merits to Yiqi Sect.

Yue Mo has been guarding the place for more than a thousand years. By virtue of this merit, Xuan Weizi himself became the first immortal to be promoted to the Taiyi fruition position after the war.

After all the hardships, the Yiqi Sect disciples must have been extremely happy at that time, but it was not over yet. I wonder if the heaven and earth actually gave the Yiqi Sect people a fortune artifact for the sake of buying horse bones for a thousand gold, which was more magical than a pie in the sky.

Yes, you heard it right, it is a lucky artifact that can gather the huge power of the North Sea.

Luck artifacts are not a big deal. In a world, there are only a few of them, which can mobilize the general trend of a world and represent the peak combat power in a world. Since then, the Yiqi Sect has become a veritable guardian of the North Sea.

Xuan Weizi was promoted to Taiyi Immortal, but the sect was still a stable second-rate sect, at best quasi-first-rate. However, the luck artifact obtained by Xuanweizi directly pushed Yiqi Sect to the status of a first-rate sect in the upper world.

Who doesn’t want to own an artifact of luck, but do they dare to steal it? How can the will of heaven and earth be violated so easily? I can only blame you for your narrow-mindedness. Even the largest sect in the upper world, the Holy Spirit Sect, sent envoys to congratulate you after learning about this matter. Dare to have extra thoughts.

With this artifact of luck, Yiqi Sect began to make steady progress. Beihai became the inner lake of Yiqi Sect, occupying all the resources in the land of Beihai.

It sounds like a good thing, but it's not that simple. While obtaining resources, you also have to deal with threats from evil spirits from outside the world from time to time. This is a bottomless pit where countless seniors have thrown their heads and shed their blood and are buried here.

Moreover, due to the previous extreme cold attack, the Northland and the North Sea have become remote places. In terms of resources, apart from being better than the Western Land, which is no different from dead soil, it cannot be compared with the land in other regions.

All in all, although the status of Yiqi Sect at this stage has risen, in terms of wealth, it cannot be compared with other sects of the same level. The disciples are laughed at when they go out.

Being poor is one thing, but the combat power is not necessarily the lowest. After all, this is a sect that is constantly wrestling with demons from outside the territory.

Resource constraints limited the growth of the Yiqi Sect. Finding places with rich spiritual energy and cultivating disciples became the top priority of the Yiqi Sect at that time.

As time goes by, the passage under the North Sea not only does not shrink, but becomes larger and larger. The demons from outside the world who come to the upper realm are getting higher and higher, and the pressure on Yiqi Sect is great.

At first, Yiqi Sect had no intention of expanding beyond the world, and still wanted to occupy more territory in the upper realm. However, the upper realm was only so big in total, and the good places had long been occupied by other sects, and the first-class treasures could not be obtained.

This is a stock game. No one is so kind and willing to give you his own foundation.

Even if they have achieved some results with their strength and convinced some small sects to worship them on a regular basis, it is still a drop in the bucket. If they want to get more, the Yiqi Sect must be stronger.

However, the small sect also has its own set of survival rules. When the desire gap of the first qi sect is difficult to fill, he chooses to seek help from other large sects and acts as a fence-sitter. He will follow whoever wins and maintain the sect's foundation to the greatest extent.

This strategy caused great annoyance to Yiqizong. It seemed like a confrontation with a small group of sects, but in fact it was a game with all the forces that did not want to see the rise of Yiqizong.

The main force of the sect guards Beihai, which is the foundation of the sect. It has no skills. How can it compete with the core strength of the sect with some peripheral forces.

For a long time, the Yiqi Sect was compressed within the Northland by a group of forces from the upper realm. It seemed to be a large territory, but there were not many resources at all. The land of thousands of miles could not support one person.

And because of the existence of the North Sea Abyss, Yiqi Sect continued to lose blood. Therefore, although Yiqi Sect has entered the stage of a first-class sect in the upper world, it is still at the tail end of the world.

This situation lasted for about twenty calamities until another great calamity occurred in the upper realm. This calamity was about eighty calamities ago and was called the Earth Demon Calamity.

This catastrophe was not as tragic as the battle between land and sea, but it was also an opportunity for a power reshuffle. As a result of this catastrophe, the Yiqi Sect had the opportunity to expand beyond the North.

Those who don't know the details of the Earth Demon's calamity will definitely think that this Earth Demon is a monster created by the accumulation of evil energy in the earth. In fact, this Earth Demon is not that Earth Demon. To be precise, it should be a ghost.

Why do we call ghosts demons? Rather than calling it a ghost directly, this is not the first time Daomen has encountered a ghost.

The relationship between this is quite complicated, please listen to me in detail.

This calamity of earth demons seems to be a group of ghosts rebelling and preparing to establish an independent reincarnation, but in fact, it is far from that simple, because behind this group of ghosts is Buddhism spread from the heavens.

The upper realm of the boundless world, one hundred or two hundred kalpas, looks long, but compared with the real great realm, that is, the world that was separated after the collapse of the original realm, there is no comparison at all. These great realms The world adheres to the original world land and has rich origins. Even saints can rely on it.

This upper realm has been born for less than a thousand kalpas, and it is still very young. Otherwise, there would not even be immortals at the Daluo stage.

What we call ancient times, ancient times, medieval times and modern times are often the accumulation of tens or even hundreds of thousands of calamities. This is the general trend of the universe, and it has even exceeded the boundaries of time and space. There are differences between macroclimate and microclimate.

The general trend of the heavens is due to the great climate, and the dispute over interpretation is still not over yet, but the evolution of the contradictions is no longer as intense as it was at the beginning, which shows that it is already the end of this tribulation.

But no one knows when the next period, or the great catastrophe of the heavens, will come.

Specific to certain realms, due to differences in realm growth and external input, there are respective microclimates.

A detailed analysis of specific issues, such as the dispute between land and sea, can be said to be a matter of medieval times compared with the general trend of the heavens. However, the catastrophe of the earth demon, because of the involvement of Buddhism behind it, falls into the category of a dispute of interpretation.

In other words, the essence of this Earth Demon Tribulation is a fragment of the interpretation dispute in the world, and a small episode in the expansion of Buddhism. Of course, this small episode refers to the eyes of the saints. The Earth Demon Rebellion is causing endless harm in the upper world, almost overturning the status of the Taoist sect.

This crisis is an imported crisis.
