Chaos era

is the modern era or current era the story takes place in
== After Jiuli Secret Realm arc ==
=== Pill Tower ===
People denounced the Pill Tower. They had stuck their hands into the Righteous and Corrupt struggles, and it had been unfair to the Righteous path. 
However, no response came from the Pill Tower. From some backchannels, it was learned that Huo Wufang had apparently been sent back to the Pill Tower half-alive.
Every single bone in his body had been broken. The Pill Tower had immediately taken action to heal him. However, that healing had been so painful that Huo Wufang would have preferred to die. LC had given Huo a special pill that would activate a poison every time someone tried healing.
As for the Righteous path's questions, the Pill Tower still hadn't given an explanation. In comparison to the Pill Tower's silence, there were quite a few sects that had flown into a rage because they had lost too many of their elite disciples. Those were people Long Chen had killed. Some sects hadn't had a single one of their disciples return.
In comparison, the smaller sects ended up benefiting greatly. Their disciples had not only survived but had also brought back a large harvest of spatial rings. The treasures in those spatial rings were several decades worth of resources to them.
However, those smaller sects had also become completely silent.
Their returning disciples were filled with gratitude toward Long Chen, but had been sternly warned not to run their mouths. Some of the more stubborn ones had even been imprisoned.
One reason was that their sects were too small. If news of their gains spread, it would provoke jealousy from others. The other reason was that Long Chen had become everyone's target now. Who dared get close to him now?
=== Evil Path ===
The Righteous path was in an unstable condition, with wild undercurrents flowing behind the scenes. But the Corrupt path was in an even more chaotic state. Long Chen had almost completely annihilated the Corrupt path's top geniuses of the seven prefectures. Of their peak experts, only Yin Luo had returned and only half of him at that.
If there hadn't been a powerful healer present then, perhaps he would have already died.
There had been more than a hundred thousand Corrupt disciples that entered the secret realm. But less than a thousand of them had returned. That was completely unacceptable. It was a huge blow to their core strength.
Nowadays, Long Chen was classified as a must-kill figure to the entire Corrupt path. Any names that had been placed on their must-kill list would be hunted down with the Corrupt path's full strength.
Within a hidden hall, there was a stone stele over thirty meters tall. It was engraved with tens of thousands of names. Furthermore, a red ‘X' had been slashed on top of each of those names. That meant they were already dead.
There was only one name without an X over it, and it was one that had only just been carved, making it extremely eye-catching. That name was: Long Chen.
== Ascension ==
Our era is a declined era, and no one is capable of ascending. However, there are no absolutes. The Heavenly Daos exist in a cycle. When things reach a peak, the only option is to go in the other direction. The era we are in right now can be called the worst era. When things get so bad that they can’t get any worse, they can only get better. The qi flow of the world is changing. You are lucky to have been born during this part of the cycle,” said the palace master.
However, there was one thing that she didn’t say. That was that they might also be the most pitiful people. If this cycle didn’t complete, the world might end during this era.
