The death of Lin Hongyu's sitting and transforming can be said to represent the end of an era for the Zhou Family.

Compared to Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi felt this more deeply.

Though they had been watching themselves grow older year by year, they subconsciously avoided thinking or talking about their own sitting and transforming.

Now, the passing of Lin Hongyu forced them to confront themselves and consider their posthumous matters.

Since neither of them had any descendants at present, their thoughts naturally focused on the family.

Thus, Zhou Mingde volunteered to gather people and begin compiling the family history.

The Zhou Family's history now must definitely be divided into two parts: one part during the Sanjue Sect period, and another after arriving in Jingguo Country.

To the current members of the Zhou Family, the latter part is obviously more important.

Zhou Mingde, as the person who rebuilt the Zhou Family, personally experienced all sorts of events, large and small, over the centuries; no one knows these better than him.

He also wanted to compile a magnificent historical chapter in his last years, allowing future generations to learn about the deeds of their ancestors by reading the family history, and remember the contributions they made to the family!

In this regard, Zhou Chun naturally was very supportive.

As the core leader of the Zhou Family, Zhou Zhengchun must inevitably become the most important protagonist of the family history.

He had no reason not to support an event that would be renowned through the ages.

While Zhou Mingde was compiling the history, Zhou Chun dispatched an incarnation to visit Zhou Daoquan's secluded cultivation place to see this family elder who had turned to ghost cultivation.

Now, after the incident when Xuanzhen True Person came knocking, Zhou Chun had a clear understanding of why ghost cultivation was taboo in the Cultivation World.

As he knew, the emergence of the ghost cultivation method coincided precisely with the appearance of Evil Qi in this realm, which was quite bizarre.

At that time, a Sixth Order being who called himself "Netherworld Divine Venerable" suddenly appeared in the Cultivation World and spread the ghost cultivation method.

The subsequent events weren't hard to imagine.

Because ghost cultivators didn't have longevity concerns, many cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan would choose to turn to ghost cultivation, including some Deity Transformation Stage Venerables!

As large numbers of ghost cultivators appeared, the perceptive individuals in the Cultivation World began to realize something was amiss.

Firstly, for a cultivator to switch to the ghost cultivation method, they had to find a Land of Yin Fiend as their base.

However, there were already very few natural Lands of Yin Fiend in the Cultivation World. Once too many people switched to the ghost cultivation method, and since ghost cultivators had no lifespan concerns, it was clear that there wasn't enough territory to go around.

This would naturally lead to people starting to create massacres to artificially generate Lands of Yin Fiend.

In that environment, this would undoubtedly further destroy the living conditions of the Human Clan.

Secondly, those who switched to the ghost cultivation method had their minds tainted by Netherworld Ghost Qi, becoming increasingly malevolent and violent, finding it difficult to interact and communicate normally.

Many who turned to ghost cultivation were often high-ranking individuals; apart from not wanting to die, their original intention was also to continue protecting their sects and families.

But in the end, they ended up destroying their own sects and families!

In some sects and families at that time, it was not uncommon for them to be sacrificially practiced by their own ghost-cultivated ancestors.

Thirdly, some ghost cultivators mysteriously fell or disappeared, and later, God Transformation Venerables discovered that the power of the "Netherworld Divine Venerable" was growing rapidly, clearly not in line with the cultivation level growth of the realm's Deity Transformation Stage cultivators.

Thus, they speculated that the fall and disappearance of those ghost cultivators were the handiwork of the "Netherworld Divine Venerable," who achieved soaring cultivation levels by using other ghost cultivators as his cultivation resources.

This was intolerable!!

At that time, due to the appearance of Evil Qi, those Deity Transformation Stage Venerables found their path to Ascension blocked, and their cultivation was greatly affected.

Yet, the "Netherworld Divine Venerable" still plotted against them, harvesting them like crops!

This was something they could not endure!

Thus, soon the entire Cultivation World began to eradicate ghost cultivation methods, exterminating ghost cultivators everywhere, and any forces harboring ghost cultivation methods and sheltering ghost cultivators were deemed enemies of the Human Clan.

The "Netherworld Divine Venerable" was besieged by multiple God Transformation Venerables, and after a great battle, was never seen again.

In this campaign against evil and ghosts, more than ninety percent of the ghost cultivators in the Cultivation World were exterminated. Almost all discovered Lands of Yin Fiend were searched multiple times, and many were forcibly destroyed.

In the years that followed, if a ghost cultivator dared to show themselves, they would be immediately suppressed and eradicated.

The ghost cultivation method was destroyed and banned, becoming an untouchable taboo in the Cultivation World.

In the recent millennia, due to the ban on ghost cultivation methods, ghost cultivators have become extremely rare.

The Cultivation World's vigilance against ghost cultivators has also relaxed somewhat.

Many forces and cultivators without deep foundations do not know much about the "Netherworld Calamity" and are unaware of the harm ghost cultivators once inflicted on the Cultivation World.

Previously, Zhou Chun was undoubtedly one of those people.

In a sense, this is also the price of growing up in a small force.

Some so-called "taboos" in the Cultivation World are not openly told to everyone, and when someone touches upon them, the large forces can use it as leverage against them.

Zhou Chun had to thank Tianjing True Person for stepping on the mine for him, allowing him to withdraw in time and not spread the ghost cultivation method.
