Chapter 2868 Facing Calamity (Third Update, Seeking Guaranteed Monthly Tickets)
The twelve small orbs of light were detonated simultaneously by the Qi Refiner, which should have caused a huge upheaval in the realm.
However, things are different now. All the energy that has been released is directed towards the direction of the Earth element in the central palace.
That's where the Quiet Zone is located.
The space distorted, and the penetrating power in the surrounding area was intentionally or unintentionally absorbed.
Half a day later, the Qi Refiner raised his hand and pointed forward, and a gray light shot out, revealing a gray passage ahead.
The figure bowed in a circle to the surroundings, let out a long laugh, and gracefully entered the passage.
Space distorted again, the passage slowly closed, and after a short while, the fluctuations subsided.
"This is..." Bo Ping Zhenjun was still in shock, "There wasn't much turbulence at all!"
He had already imagined what the realm would look like in pieces, but actually... it wouldn't have much of an impact!
Unbeknownst to them, the strange spatial penetration power had vanished without a trace.
A wisp of white mist shifted slightly. "I wonder if this fellow Daoist... will succeed!"
At this moment, True Lord Kan Shui would absolutely not dare to look upon that person... Even courting death has its limits.
No one answered him. After a long while, the old woman sighed softly, "I never thought that there really are people in this world destined for calamity!"
Everyone has heard of this legend, but she has lived for over ten thousand years, and this time she has truly... seen it for herself!
"Does it matter whether one lives or dies?" the human head said slowly. "In any case, one comes from heaven and earth and returns to heaven and earth."
Luo Fu secretly sent out a divine message to her junior brother, "It should be... gone!"
“As expected,” Qingxia Zhenjun’s divine sense emerged, “as expected of someone who cultivates righteousness… In this way, he has achieved what he sought.”
“There was no other choice,” said True Monarch Wuchen, who was eavesdropping. “Just follow your heart.”
“This… the typhoon is still ongoing,” Qu Jianlei felt that everyone was getting a bit distracted from their work.
"Hmm," Bo Ping Zhenjun's shock had subsided, and he quickly regained his composure. "It seems that the Heavenly Collapse... is coming even faster!"
Everyone was speechless. The people destined to face the calamity had all appeared, so wasn't it normal for the speed to increase?
More than ten days later, a thick aura of decay began to permeate the entire realm, which had already affected some of the regions.
At first, the cultivators couldn't sense it, but they felt that various natural disasters were becoming more frequent.
However, as time went on, some cultivators noticed a new change: the demonic energy seemed... less rampant than before?
Some Nascent Soul True Immortals with strong perception even noticed that something was amiss with the aura of heaven and earth.
Just as the news was spreading, a powerful divine sense from a True Venerable arrived, saying, "It's interference from another realm. Don't panic..."
This is no longer a matter of passing down the hierarchy; it's a statement made personally by a Nascent Soul Grandmaster, clearly indicating that he doesn't want chaos to break out in the realm.
Within the team tasked with saving the world, the True Lords had already deployed their defenses and were carefully sensing the situation.
The team was well-prepared, and despite the unexpected "space destroyer," they remained calm and composed.
"I can feel the energy gradually locking in," the small archway had already taken shape, but she still had the mind to chat, "Has no one withdrawn?"
Previously, she was considered a True Lord outside the core, but after helping the old woman, her calamities have increased.
"I'm fine," the curious boy was the first to speak, though he was just there for the spectacle.
However, he was not nervous at all, and did not even care about his own reputation. "If all else fails, I will hide in Qu Zhenzun's cave."
People who risk their lives to eat pufferfish... there are people like that everywhere.
Another person who was basically just watching the show was True Monarch Qiye, who exclaimed, "The Heavenly Demon... truly, birds die for food!"
At this moment, although the demonic energy in the Star Realm has been suppressed to a great extent, there is still some that is frantically absorbing negative energy!
Tianqing is unfriendly to humans, and the same goes for the Heavenly Demons, since they are both beings from lower-dimensional worlds.
However, it was precisely in the face of this imminent catastrophe that the demons were desperately replenishing their strength.
Luo Fu's mind stirred, "I want to go and deal with it..."
In the past, the martial arts world had been invaded by demonic energy, and it was only when Master Qing and his masters appeared that they were able to suppress it.
In terms of the importance attached to ordinary people, few cultivation forces can surpass the Haoran lineage.
Qu Zhenzun didn't want to stop her, so he simply said, "Don't go too far, and don't underestimate Senior Boping's arrangements."
With a major battle imminent, the best option is for everyone to perform their respective duties—isn't that taking away the jobs of the Star Cultivators?
However, he didn't want to appear so cold-blooded.
Even Bo Pingzhenjun was somewhat indulgent towards Luo Fu, and he said with a smile, "She's still young, that's wonderful."
Several people grimaced upon hearing this, thinking to themselves that Qu Zhenzun was even younger.
More than ten days later, Qu Zhenzun frowned slightly and released the Creation Compass.
The True Lords had a basic understanding of the compass's function, but True Lord Wuchen was the first to ask, "Has something changed?"
"No..." Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, "I feel there's strong contact, so they probably won't be coming."
This is a scenario that everyone had previously anticipated.
Their previous tests all involved influencing the daily tilt point in a normal environment, ultimately triggering a strong connection.
Of course, there's nothing we can do about it; it's impossible to conduct tests inside Lianxing.
The limitations of this environment and sample make it impossible to completely simulate the actual tilting process.
However, there were really no other options; we could only rely on calculations to complete the task.
Qu Jianlei's statement that there is no strong connection implies that the full-blown outbreak of the celestial upheaval may not produce any significant phenomena.
Perhaps the upheaval has already begun, but the Lianxing Realm is too vast, so the development process is not very obvious.
“I feel the same way,” Wuchen Zhenjun nodded, “Unfortunately… it’s impossible to divine the future.”
"Where in the world are there so many things that can't be helped?" the old woman snorted.
"I'm going to use my divination to see when you'll hide in Xiao Qu's cave!"
This is a roundabout way of calculating, the kind that skirts the edge, but sometimes it really works.
"Surely it's not that serious?" The curious child looked distressed. "Even if I didn't do anything special, I still put in some effort. Why target me?"
The small archway trembled slightly, and said with a smile, "Because your certainty is very strong!"
"High certainty?" Wuchen Zhenjun didn't react for a moment. "I shouldn't have been involved, right?"
"I'm talking about your curiosity!" Seven Leaves True Lord stated bluntly.
"Others will react in various ways depending on the situation, but you will always maintain your curiosity!"
"What the heck?" the curious child exclaimed, speechless. "This is actually allowed?"
“Then you can change your habits,” Jiuping Zhenjun couldn’t help but laugh.
It's truly rare to see something so joyful happen during such a tense and stressful time.
Unfortunately, the old woman's divination result was slightly lacking in foresight—"Nothing will happen within three days!"
There was no other way; she couldn't plan any further ahead. At this point, caution was the most important thing.
However, this result is already very encouraging. Having three days to make a prediction is invaluable on any battlefield!
Kongyu Zhenjun volunteered, "I will perform the divination for Brother Wuchen again in one day!"
"Are you kidding me?!" the curious child exclaimed, unable to bear it any longer. "You keep trying to predict my fortune; it's hurtful!"
This is indeed true. Divination is not a form of sorcery, and it won't necessarily lead to being condemned by everyone and dying without a cause, but it can still have negative effects.
“There’s nothing I can do, your performance is just too consistent,” even the usually taciturn Qingxia Zhenjun said with a smile. “I’ll do the divination the day after tomorrow!”
“You can change,” Qi Ye said, still being straightforward. “If you frequently consult the oracle, your calamity might increase.”
Do you really think that Tianqing won't notice the cause and effect after playing such a borderline game so many times?
“Then…” True Monarch Wuchen pondered for a moment, then steeled his heart, “How about we perform the divination every two days?”
These conversations effectively eased the tension, but everyone remained on edge.
Four days later, Qu Jianlei's unease became more and more obvious. With a thought, a black knife appeared in the air.
The Broken Blade Jinghong was originally meant for Jing Yuexin.
However, when Jing Zhenzun left, he left Jinghong at Red Leaf Ridge, using it as a trump card for Jia Shuiqing and the others.
She only sent her clone to retrieve the knife when the operation to save the world was about to officially begin.
"A divine weapon that can be unleashed!" The curious boy nodded slightly—he really didn't want to stir up any more trouble. "It's...not bad."
What he really meant was: Even if you want to complain about being poor, can't you at least consider the occasion?
With so many True Lords present, you just had to bring out a divine weapon that has already left the body. Who are you trying to embarrass?
"Wow, that's really good!" The second person to praise it was Seven Leaves True Lord.
He didn't say it casually because he had just advanced in his cultivation and lacked foresight, nor did he say it because he found Xiao Qu pleasing to the eye.
As a sword cultivator, he could truly sense the extraordinary nature of this blade; "its killing intent is exceptionally strong."
“It can suppress negative energy,” Bo Ping Zhenjun was the third to agree, as he possessed the aura of the Heavenly Inclination and felt it most clearly.
But then he sighed softly, "What a pity, he hasn't grown up yet."
Upon hearing this, Xiao You's eyes lit up slightly, and she quietly asked her master, "Can this treasure grow to the Nascent Soul stage?"
“This child, they’re just being polite,” Qingxia Zhenjun said, somewhat speechless. “You can’t exactly say, ‘It’s a pity it’s just a body-splitting moment,’ can you?”
“Oh,” Xiaoyou said, clearly disappointed, “I thought I could train him.”
"Even if you could be trained, you're not going to pursue a military cultivation path..." Qingxia's words came to an abrupt end.
The next moment, he sighed again, "Those who are eager to make a living are not good business."
My disciple, you must not stoop so low to please others!
Just then, the young lady spoke up again, "Xiao Qu, you're doing this mainly to issue a warning, right?"
"Hmm," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. Jinghong's combat strength was indeed somewhat incompatible with his own.
Leaving aside major events like saving the world from collapse, even routine battles wouldn't have a decisive impact on him anymore.
Only when facing a large-scale evil force can Jinghong provide him with substantial assistance.
However, he did not show any disdain. Just as True Monarch Qingxia said, Black Blade still has room for growth.
