Qinglan's Troubled World Records

At the beginning of the separation of heaven and earth, pure qi was created and turbid qi was destroyed. For thousands of years in ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant, spiritual veins ran across the earth, human clans were at their peak, demon clans each guarded their territory, and all things came into being in an orderly manner. It was a stable and peaceful age of cultivation. The accident began thousands of years ago. The eternal turbid rift opened in the extreme western desert out of thin air, and the turbid air of the outer realm was constantly leaking out, just like an epidemic sweeping the world. The balance between heaven and earth collapses, the clear air becomes increasingly thinner, and the turbid air spreads in layers: light turbidity covers the mountains and fields, thick turbidity invades the river valleys, evil turbidity locks the earth, and turbidity seals the cracks. Mountains and rivers have faded, vegetation has withered, spiritual veins have decayed and broken, and the former blessed land of cultivation has gradually turned into a place of death due to turmoil and disaster. Mortals and low-level monks were helpless to resist, and villages and towns fell into ruins; monsters were infected and distorted by the turbid air, turning into ferocious and bloodthirsty monsters; practitioners lived in the turbid land for a long time, with mixed auras and inner demons. At best, their cultivation regressed, and at worst, their bodies degenerated and became evil spirits. In troubled times, all the major righteous sects built mountain-protecting formations, sticking to one side with the ancient laws of purity and barrier restrictions, becoming the last barrier of the human race, struggling to defend the world amidst the spread of chaos. ​
