The law goes against heaven and earth

Thus, almost against the collective opposition of the entire sect, Zhao Shijie resolutely married Li Fan.

The wedding was very simple, even somewhat crude.

But her Master, Zhang Wangshuang, ultimately attended. He looked at the newlywed couple below, sighed slightly, and then forced a faint smile.

That night, countless heartbroken Great Dao Sect Disciples drank themselves into a stupor. Many brawls even broke out.

It's worth mentioning that the reason so many young Disciples of the Great Dao Sect were so deeply infatuated with Zhao Shijie was not only because her appearance and strength were unmatched among her peers.

More importantly, after Cultivating "The Rhapsody of Intercourse between Heaven and Earth," the feminine charm inadvertently exuded by Zhao Shijie became even more captivating, almost irresistible.

Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Shijie's primordial yin was still intact, seemingly still a virgin.

So even though she had been living with Li Fan day and night, there were still many persistent suitors.

After the wedding, at Li Fan's reminder, Zhao Shijie removed her disguise.

While many people were heartbroken again, there were still infatuated individuals who refused to give up.

Because after the youthful girlishness faded, the charm of a young married woman in every gesture and smile made one's heart itch with unbearable longing.

Fortunately, Zhao Shijie was utterly devoted to Li Fan, which slightly eased the pressure on Li Fan.

However, whether for eternal life or to protect Zhao Shijie,

From then on, Li Fan Cultivated even more diligently.

With no shortage of Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills, coupled with the Dual Cultivation of "The Rhapsody of Intercourse between Heaven and Earth," Li Fan's Realm grew day by day.

Thirteen years passed in a flash.

On this day, a strange phenomenon occurred in the sky.

All living beings in the Xuanhuang World saw a benevolent-looking old man with a high crown, standing tall and reaching for the sky with his hand.

The phenomenon did not last long.

But all Cultivators felt an indescribable complex emotion surge in their hearts.

It was like sadness, like confusion, like anger.

Numerous emotions intertwined, a mixture of feelings.

After the old man's image disappeared, all Cultivators slowly understood.

Today, Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission attained the Dao of eternal life.

From now on, people must respectfully call him "Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission."

He, with his own power, changed the path of Cultivation in the world. From then on, Cultivators could only Cultivate according to the method of plundering heaven and earth that he had set.

Although many years had passed, most Cultivators in the world had now switched to the New Law.

But there were still many who stubbornly persisted on the old path of "Heaven and Man as One."

Now, he had directly severed the old path.

Some of these ancient Spell Cultivators, jokingly called "old fogeys," committed suicide in despair.

Others left in anger,从此隐世不出.

Chaos was unfolding in every corner of the Xuanhuang World, and the same was true within the Great Dao Sect.

The New Law had been established and was unstoppable.

These chaotic events were merely small splashes emerging from the mighty current and could not change the direction of the entire river.

After the turmoil subsided, a rare period of peace and explosive growth followed.

The number of Cultivators and the quality of their Realms were increasing at an astonishing rate.

Even someone with mediocre talent like Li Fan, after switching to the New Law and having abundant resources, only took a little over twenty years to advance to the Soul Transformation Realm.

Not to mention other elite Disciples within the sect.

If it weren't for the scarcity of heaven and earth spirit and the unpredictable timing of their appearance,

It is likely that a large number of Dao Integration cultivators would have appeared in the world in a blowout fashion.

Zhao Shijie, as the most prominent junior Disciple of the Great Dao Sect, successfully integrated with the Dao after passing numerous trials.

She became one of the few True Disciples of the Great Dao Sect.

"Congratulations, congratulations! Now that the tide is rising, True Disciples, who used to be able to serve in the Soul Transformation Realm, are now only qualified to be in the Harmony Dao Realm," Li Fan kissed Zhao Shijie and congratulated her while holding her.

However, there was not much joy on her face. A rare hint of worry even appeared.

Li Fan, who had lived with her day and night for decades and understood her very well, couldn't help but be very surprised. This was very rare for Zhao Shijie.

He immediately asked with concern, "Senior Sister, what are you worried about?"

"When I was having a Breakthrough, I inexplicably felt something," Zhao Shijie waved her hand, sealing off the surrounding space.

Then she quietly transmitted her voice, "This Cultivation World, which now seems prosperous and incomparably lively, is truly like oil being cooked by a fierce fire. Although it is prosperous to the extreme, there is also some hidden crisis."

"Once it erupts…"

Li Fan was startled and alarmed.

He knew that the moment of Breakthrough to the Harmony Dao Realm was almost infinitely close to the "Heaven and Man as One" Realm of the ancient Cultivation method. The insights gained during this stage were absolutely not groundless.

Although they didn't know where the crisis would come from, it didn't prevent the two of them from preparing for a rainy day.

Having Dual Cultivated for many years, the two of them had long been inseparable and had become a community of interests.

Without alarming others, the couple continued to Cultivate as usual while secretly collecting resources. They prepared for the imminent great changes in heaven and earth that could occur at any time.

What they didn't expect was that this wait would last for over thirty years.

Time flew by, and no crisis ever appeared. The couple also regarded their past premonition as an illusion.

In thirty years, Zhao Shijie, with her increasingly refined Cultivation and overwhelming combat power,

Became the Great Dao Sect's designated Dao Child and was granted the "Scripture of the Great Dao of Executing Heaven."

If there were no accidents, in a few years, when the current Sect Leader ascended to the Immortal Realm, she would be the next Sect Leader of the Great Dao Sect.

Zhao Shijie was thrilled, and Li Fan was genuinely happy for her.

But their joy did not last long.

On this day, the great changes in heaven and earth, which they had almost forgotten, suddenly descended.

It came so unexpectedly, so unbelievably, and so unacceptably to the Cultivators.

So much so that all their "preparations" over the years became a joke.

Li Fan and Zhao Shijie first felt the anomaly during Dual Cultivation.

"Hmm?"

After a similarly ecstatic Dual Cultivation journey ended, Li Fan let out a questioning sound.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Shijie, who had not yet fully recovered from the momentary pleasure, couldn't help but ask.

"How come I feel that the effect of this Dual Cultivation isn't as good?"

Li Fan frowned tightly.

"Could it be that I've encountered that Bottleneck again?"

After reaching the Harmony Dao Realm, the Cultivation improvement from Dual Cultivation had become less significant. So Zhao Shijie hadn't noticed the abnormality earlier.

But now, after Li Fan's reminder and a thorough investigation, her expression changed slightly.

"There's no Bottleneck, but the effectiveness has greatly decreased."

"Let's try again."

Li Fan nodded in agreement.

A long time later.

Li Fan's expression was solemn: "How could it suddenly lose its effect?"

"Could it be that "The Rhapsody of Intercourse between Heaven and Earth"…"

As he was speaking, the two suddenly heard a clamor and commotion from outside.

"It's not the Dual Cultivation Technique, but all Cultivation Techniques…"

"They all have problems!"

Zhao Shijie finally reacted, stood up abruptly, and her face turned pale.
