Back then, the Luo Family of Jixuan Immortal Valley's Main Lineage had yet to completely elevate its lineage's genes. Though their descendants possessed decent talent, none could be considered outstanding.
Without exclusive resources to sustain them, and unable to broaden income or cut expenses, not only did the cultivation of the older generation of Immortal Kings begin to stagnate, but the growth of the Luo Family's younger generation also slowed drastically. Fortunately, Immortal Kings still held the fort, so there was no great upheaval.
Yet misfortunes never came singly. The old-generation Immortal Kings unfortunately perished outside. With no one from the new generation stepping forward, Jixuan Immortal Valley rapidly declined.
Less than thirty million years had passed since the death of Jixuan Immortal Valley's last Immortal King, so the older-generation True Immortals should all still have been alive. However, Jixuan Immortal Valley had committed evil deeds during its prosperous days and had made many enemies. Now that it no longer had an Immortal King powerhouse, those factions all came to kick it while it was down and carve up Jixuan Immortal Valley.
Moreover, upstarts would always be upstarts. The new generation of Jixuan Immortal Valley disciples had rarely experienced anything significant. Accustomed to extravagance, some failed to see themselves clearly. Not only did they refuse to tuck their tails between their legs, they even dared resist. This further accelerated their decline. During those repeated defenses, Jixuan Immortal Valley lost another three or four high-realm True Immortals.
As the saying went, if one lost land while preserving the people, both people and land would be lost. Their continued slump caused the various sects of Jixuan Immortal Valley, aside from the Luo Family of the Main Lineage, to become divided in heart and spirit, choosing one after another to split away.
