Chapter 216, 4th Era: Heavenly Dao Distortion, World-Ending Catastrophe!_2
Learning that someone took the opportunity to cause chaos.
Yunxi personally led a dozen Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs, using thunderous methods to suppress and kill all parasitic cultivators.
Immediately after.
She ordered all major Holy Lands to propagate the "Gu Scripture" to every corner of the Spirit Realm as quickly as possible.
This scripture was compiled by Lu Yuan, who innovated on the ancient Gu Dao inheritance with heaven-defying comprehension, and infused his lifelong cultivation insights and Daoist skills, ultimately crafting the Gu Dao classic.
The content within the "Gu Scripture" is all-encompassing and inclusive of myriad things.
From refining Gu, using Gu, cultivating Gu, to how to convert polluted spiritual qi into absorbable energy, and how to escape the control of the Parasite Insect Race, all aspects of knowledge are included.
The most important point is that, unlike ancient Gu Dao.
The "Gu Scripture" created by Lu Yuan can still be cultivated even in this parasitic Cultivation World with distorted Heavenly Dao and twisted laws.
Moreover, Lu Yuan did not keep anything hidden; the "Gu Scripture" even includes various methods for refining Immortal Gu!
After all, with Immortal Gu, quality over quantity matters.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan has already comprehended his own Dao and skill; having so many Immortal Gu is of little use.
Thus, instead of letting these Immortal Gu gather dust,
it is better to make the methods for refining Immortal Gu public, allowing more strong cultivators to emerge among Gu cultivators to divert the attention of the Heavenly Dao Will.
When the entire Spirit Realm was flourishing, a shocking change occurred in the Western Desert!
Western Desert.
The yellow sands roiled, and the sky was dark.
This place is far from the Central Continent and Southern Domain, almost the most remote area of the Spirit Realm.
Yet, without anyone noticing.
In a corner of the Western Desert, a crack suddenly appeared in the void.
Then a strange black mist flowed through the crack into this world and quickly spread far away.
This black mist is unpredictable and can devour all vitality and things, undetectable even to Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs.
Wherever it passes, all things perish.
Even the Heaven and Earth Laws and Origin Dao Marks are entirely obliterated.
In the end, only endless darkness and void remain, along with deathly silence!
Deep in the Western Desert.
Clusters of palaces shone with golden light, and the sound of Buddha echoed through the heavens and earth.
Many Esoteric Buddhism disciples in monk robes were bowing their heads, sincerely chanting Buddhist scriptures.
But before long.
The originally cloudless sky suddenly darkened and became extremely silent.
As if in that instant.
All light and sound abruptly disappeared, leaving only dead silence.
And the magnificent Buddha statue in the Esoteric Buddhism hall seemed to sense something, with tears even sliding down its eyes!
"What's going on, why did it suddenly turn black?"
"The Buddha statue sheds tears, could it be that a world-ending catastrophe is happening?"
All the Esoteric Buddhism disciples who saw this scene felt anxious and had a sense of impending doom.
It is known that this Buddha statue, after tens of thousands of years of tributing and refining, has long given birth to a trace of Buddha nature, capable of foreseeing the divine will, turning misfortune into fortune.
Yet, throughout the history of Esoteric Buddhism, the bizarre scene of the Buddha statue shedding tears was happening for the first time!
What made the Esoteric Buddhism disciples and elders even more uneasy was.
That Buddha statue suddenly emitted a 'crack' sound, as if corroded by some force, and cracks appeared all over its surface.
Eventually, it collapsed with a bang, turning into countless fragments, never to exist again!
At the same time.
From deep within the Esoteric Buddhism ancestral land, two terrifying auras suddenly soared into the sky.
However, when they saw the scene in the distance, they were frightened out of their wits, leaving only despair in their hearts!
Because not far away.
A vast, endless black mist like a surging tidal wave was quickly spreading towards this place!
"Not good!"
"The Heavenly Dao Will has gone mad, this is its world-ending calamity!"
"Run!"
Just as the Esoteric Buddhism patriarch wanted to send a warning, before the words were finished, the black mist surged over, engulfing the Esoteric Buddhism entirely.
They, being Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs, couldn't even let out a scream before they were consumed by the black mist, forever falling into darkness.
A Supreme Holy Land thus quietly perished!
But this was only the beginning.
As time progressed, vast black mists appeared in the Central Continent, Northern Wilderness, and East Sea as well.
At last.
This black mist, like hundreds of rivers converging into the sea, gathered all in one place, forming a dark tide that buried more than half of the Spirit Realm!
Cyan Grass Mountain.
Within the Sect Hall.
Many Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs gathered together, the atmosphere unbearably heavy.
Looking at the snowstorm-like incoming requests for help and urgent reports, Yunxi's beautiful eyes were bloodshot and exhausted.
"Sect Master, seven days ago, the entire Western Desert was engulfed by a strange black mist, with no survivors!"
"Three days ago, we also lost contact with the Northern Wilderness Barbarian Race, and the Barbarian Race Elder and a hundred thousand barbarian warriors are missing, probably doomed."
"Besides, there have also been manifestations of black mist at the borders of our Southern Domain. None of the hundred death warriors I sent out have returned alive."
Reported a Tribulation Crossing True Monarch in a hoarse voice.
Although he tried his best to control his emotions, he couldn't hide the fear in his heart.
Because this black mist came in overwhelming momentum, mysterious and unpredictable.
According to the intelligence they received, several Harmonization Celestial Monarchs were in a dormant state and were swallowed by the black mist before they could wake up!
Even Harmonization Celestial Monarchs had no power to resist, let alone them?
"The Heavenly Dao descends a catastrophe, to settle accounts for all, to destroy all."
"This is an unprecedented world-ending massacre, no one can escape, even the Law Dao will be rendered void!"
Spoke an ancient Tribulation Crossing True Monarch, his old eyes filled with despair.
Tribulation Crossing True Monarch or Harmonization Celestial Monarch,
In front of the all-powerful Heavenly Dao Will, they are all just ants.
Previously, the Heavenly Dao Will turned a blind eye to their existence, leaving a glimmer of hope.
But now, with the awakening of the Heavenly Dao Will, it intends to launch an apocalyptic catastrophe, destroying everything!
Yunxi was exhausted, silent.
After fifty years of her dedicated management, Cyan Grass Mountain could now be considered the number one holy land in the Spirit Realm.
There were over thirty Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs alone.
As for Divinity Transformation Great Powers and Nascent Soul Strong Persons, they were countless, like stars in the sky.
But so what?
In the face of the vast Heavenly Dao Will, no matter how powerful Cyan Grass Mountain was, it could not stir up any waves.
And according to the speed of the black mist's spread, in less than three days, the entire Spirit Realm would likely be submerged!
By that time.
All would be void, all would be nothing.
No one could escape this catastrophe!
"Sect Leader, Lu Celestial Monarch, he..."
A Tribulation Crossing True Monarch asked cautiously, holding onto a last glimmer of hope.
Fifty years ago.
Lu Yuan, at the peak of his Tribulation Cultivation, dominated the Spirit Realm, respected by all sects.
Not to mention.
His talents were extraordinary, creating the "Gu Scripture" on his own, spreading the Gu Dao legacy across various realms of the Spirit Realm.
With his qualifications and talent, it's almost certain he would become a Harmonization Celestial Monarch after such a long retreat.
If Lu Yuan were to come out of seclusion, there might still be a sliver of hope!
"I have reported this matter to the owner, but... there has been no response."
Yunxi sighed heavily, feeling somewhat helpless.
After all, this issue was beyond her ability to resolve, it was simply not something she could handle.
Hearing this, other Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs' eyes dimmed like extinguished candles, leaving only despair.
Under the threat of death.
Some couldn't bear such heavy pressure, emotions nearing collapse, immediately berated Yunxi.
Accusing that Cyan Grass Mountain's unscrupulous, forced promotion of the Gu Dao legacy had provoked the Heavenly Dao to descend calamity, punishing the common people.
Others believed that the parasitic cultivation system was the orthodox cultivation method acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao of this world.
And under Lu Yuan's tyranny,
They were forced to switch to Gu Dao, leading to this deadly catastrophe.
Many Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs, upon hearing this, also began shifting all responsibility onto Yunxi and Lu Yuan.
"Enough."
Yunxi was furious and laughed, suddenly reprimanding.
"As ancestors of the holy land, do you only know how to shirk responsibility?"
"Do you mean to say that those parasitic cultivators can survive within the black mist?"
"The Heavenly Dao is merciless, treating all things as mere straw dogs, the Heavenly Dao Will has gone mad."
"This is a natural disaster, not a man-made one, we must unite against it now to have a sliver of hope!"
Hearing Yunxi, the other Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs gradually calmed down.
After all, at this stage, blaming each other was pointless.
The pressing matter was to figure out a way to overcome this crisis first.
However, it wasn't long before everyone hopelessly discovered.
No matter what the cost, using all sorts of methods, they couldn't stop the dark's spread.
Especially as the swallowed lives and energies increased, the spread of the black mist only accelerated.
In just two short days, it approached Cyan Grass Mountain!
