"Why has this world turned into such a state?" Song Lin asked.
Grandma Mount Tai remained silent for a moment, then said, "This matter is indeed related to me."
Grandma Mount Tai began to narrate slowly.
The issue stems in part from the world's condition.
The total amount of Essence and Qi in the world is fixed. Cultivators consume Qi for longevity, absorbing large quantities, but the energy mostly returns to the world after their deaths.
With the passage of time, more and more cultivators ascend, especially those from righteous sects like the Emei Sect and Taizhen Sect.
Righteous cultivators absorb the pure energy of the heavens and earth, then ascend to the Upper Realm, leaving behind an imbalance where murky energy exceeds pure energy, causing chaos and the rampant rise of demons.
