Chapter 661: Chapter 667: Saving the World
But then, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse!
Because of the purification of worldly impurities, ghosts received the favor of the Heavenly Dao, and the Laws also tilted in their favor, leading to a substantial increase in Yin Qi between heaven and earth.
Corresponding to this, Spiritual Energy was reduced.
As one rose and the other fell, the strength of the ghosts surged. However, at this time, Immortal Tao was still dominant and not something the ghosts could contend with.
But as the older generation of Cultivators either ascended or passed away into the cycle of reincarnation, the ghosts finally saw their chance for revenge!
Over the following century, a large number of Immortal Tao powers were extinguished, and the ghosts gradually assumed a dominant position.
In fact, before this, many Cultivators within Immortal Tao had already perceived the threat of the ghosts, but they could do nothing about it because the ghosts were protected by the Heavenly Dao, and their hiding places could not be found, making it impossible to eradicate them completely.
"The balance of Yin and Yang has been lost!" Li Chengsheng sighed after understanding the vicissitudes of this world.
In the Profound Origin World, the power of Immortal Tao was the strongest. The forces of the Central Region alone could eradicate Demonic Tao, and if the other three regions were added, it could be said that they could eliminate various Demonic powers without paying much of a price.
But why were they still left alone, even allowing Demonic Tao to dominate a region? Because the development of the world requires balance!
If Immortal Cultivators are the producers and consumers, then Demon Cultivators are both consumers and purifiers.
Their existence is to purify the impurities produced by the world.
Although this ’purification’ is actually a digestion where Demon Cultivators absorb not only Spiritual Energy but also some impurities during their cultivation, no matter what, Demonic Tao is an indispensable part of the world’s operation.
Unless Immortal Tao can find a substitute method, Demonic Tao’s presence must be tolerated.
And in a world like this, even though the ghosts are thriving, the forces of Immortal Tao still have the power to contend with them.
It’s just that there are too many common people and they are too scattered. Some remote and backward places receive little protection.
This can actually be seen as slowly moving towards balance under the regulation of the Heavenly Dao.
As for what Wang Qiulin said about the surge of Yin Qi, it probably wouldn’t last long, after all, the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t allow the balance of Yin and Yang to be disrupted.
This also made Li Chengsheng doubt whether the Cultivators in this world understood the essential principle of the balance of Yin and Yang. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have done something as foolish as eradicating Demonic Tao and the Devil Race, and they wouldn’t now pessimistically believe the world would become a realm of ghosts.
"But what does that have to do with me? I’m just here to complete a trial mission," Li Chengsheng shook his head. He was just a minor Golden Core Cultivator and didn’t need to involve himself in such commotion.
He could very well lose himself in the mix if he wasn’t careful.
Moreover, it was precisely because Demonic Tao had been exterminated that Li Chengsheng’s identity was not questioned. Otherwise, why would Wang Qiulin invite a stranger into the town?
From this perspective, it was actually conducive to his actions.
By now, if Li Chengsheng couldn’t see that his subsequent trial mission was to be completed in this world, he would be too foolish.
That night.
The town was dead silent, with only a few Cultivators led by Wang Qiulin and some physically strong mortal warriors standing atop the city walls, cautiously on guard for something.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Suddenly, a violent wind assaulted them, accompanied by ghostly wails and howls, as thousands of ghosts appeared out of nowhere. Their terrifying eyes gleamed with a shocking green light as they rushed towards the town.
Wang Qiulin’s face tensed, and he immediately unleashed a spell that had been charged up for a long time.
Boom!
A deep roar exploded, and the city walls suddenly emitted dazzling sunlight.
"Interesting! Let’s see if I can get a few pieces of bluestone tomorrow." Li Chengsheng, who had been observing in the shadows, thought to himself.
After all, this was his trial mission, related to whether he could get more and better rewards. How could he not pay extra attention?
Ahhh—
A large number of low-ranking ghosts let out a series of piercing screams under the sunlight.
Unfortunately, this was not the true sunlight, and since there were too many ghosts, those that followed did not suffer much damage, and this was also true for the stronger second-order ghosts.
But faced with such an outcome, Wang Qiulin actually breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Compared to previous years, this year’s effect is better."
And the reason for this was Li Chengsheng.
He had wiped out all the ghosts in that little mountain village, so the strength of the ghosts invading Changhe Town was naturally much weakened.
It was strange how the ghost invasions in this world did not act together but proceeded from the bottom up, one level at a time.
In this, there must have been reasons unknown to Li Chengsheng.
The battle on the city walls continued, or rather, had officially begun!
Compared to the strength of the ghosts, the human race seemed to be at a much lesser advantage.
Perhaps it was because of this that Wang Qiulin felt very pessimistic.
Seeing the situation turn grim, Li Chengsheng did not continue to watch any longer and decisively made his move. The fierce Great Sun rose, its scorching rays shining upon every ghost.
Those with weaker abilities turned into wisps of green smoke within a few moments, and those slightly stronger appeared even more tragic because they did not die instantly and had to suffer intense pain.
"This..." Wang Qiulin was stunned by this scene.
He never expected that the Loose Cultivator he had invited was a Golden Core!
"With this senior here, we can all safely get through the Thousand Ghost Tribulation this year!"
In front of the powerful Li Chengsheng, who was the bane of ghosts, the disaster of the night was quickly surpassed.
Why wasn’t it a total extermination? Because the ghosts were not without Spiritual Intelligence; seeing the situation turning against them, many directly fled, never actually clashing with Li Chengsheng.
"Thank you, senior, for your help!" Wang Qiulin, overwhelmed with emotion, teared up and bowed deeply, planning to kneel before Li Chengsheng to express his gratitude.
"There’s no need for such formalities," Li Chengsheng said, stopping the other’s motion. Grand gestures should not be accepted lightly!
"There should be no trouble tonight; I will take my leave now."
Having said this, he disappeared.
Meanwhile, the mayor and others waiting at the town’s administrative center also noticed the ghosts retreating, shedding tears of relief.
Among them, an elder cried out, "To our ancestors above, tonight not a single person in Changhe Town has been harmed..."
The elder cried uncontrollably and nearly passed out from the overwhelming emotion.

At the same time.
The trial space where Li Chengshuo was located was a world where Yang Qi was abundant, with daytime lasting up to ten hours, Taiyin was severely suppressed, and rarely appeared. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
And her task was to awaken Taiyin step by step, to restore the balance of Yin and Yang.
Li Xianxun was in a world where there was little wind, and he too was following the guidance of his trial task, step by step, to bring the world back to normal.
From the trials that the three of them faced, they were all helping to restore balance to the world, which was completely different from the original Li Zhirui.
From this, it was clear that the so-called trials were actually being manipulated by someone behind the scenes!
And those people should be from the Immortal realm!
