A sudden change in the heavens, impossible to say whether it was an opportunity or a disaster,
caused the laws of the Great Cosmos to awaken, and countless principles to manifest in the world.
Frequent tides of spiritual energy began pushing the world back toward the conditions of ancient times.
Practitioners of magical arts, once left behind, suddenly had their day in the sun.
Their powers received an epic boost.
So the martial artists who had once proclaimed that the martial path alone ruled heaven and earth panicked!
They found that no matter how they fought, they couldn't beat those “spellcasters”!
So they stopped fighting.
Some even tried to awaken their long-dormant “brains”!
They reached a conclusion:
“If you can't beat them, join them!”
And so, a revivalist trend began to sweep the cultivation world.
Daoist cultivation techniques that trained the soul, such as the “Shangqing Method” and the “Yuxu Method,” were brought out once more.
The Eight-Nine Mystical Art and the Heaven-Battling Art fell out of favor.
Buddhist scriptures such as the “Great Sun Tathagata Sutra” and the “Great Compassion Bodhisattva True Scripture” became top-tier techniques.
As for the Indestructible Diamond Body and the Eight Legions of Heavenly Dragons Combat Art, they were simply sealed away.
The same went for the sorcerers: bloodline sorcerers became a thing of the past.
Still, some refused to abandon their original path.
They placed their hopes in the next generation, hoping they could create body-tempering methods infused with principles and laws.
As for the protagonist,
his elders didn't want him to live under too much pressure. The cutthroat cultivation culture in the Nine Provinces was simply too stressful.
They chose a niche path for him:
to become a priest.
More precisely, a devotee of the light: a saint!
