Ping Xiaoyi and Guo Nuanyang were dumbstruck, speechless for a moment.
'So that's how it is!
Even the both of us are not used to such dense spiritual Qi. It feels like going too far is as bad as falling short. '
'How can ordinary people withstand it?'
'How many of the tens of thousands of ordinary disciples can survive after this?'
Noticing their worries, Dong Qitian comforted them timely. "Relax. From what I know about the young ones in the Residence of Nine Supremes, there won't be many who can't take it. The children are young, their meridians are relatively tender, but this is the time of their lives when they bear the most burden. Moreover, the Residence of Nine Supremes is a tough environment. Even if something happens, there won't be many who will die. A thousand at most … It's those who are older and have their meridians solidified … this is the toughest stage for them. "
Ping Xiaoyi and Guo Nuanyang exchanged a look, reading each other's thoughts.
They flew up together and dashed out at top speed.
Dong Qitian sighed and said, "Trying your best is futile. Do you know who can take it and who can't? Perhaps your help will cause a disciple who should've been reborn from this opportunity to fall into the mundane world and lose any room for improvement! It's the same for the servants. Do you have the ability to send everyone away? Or perhaps you know who to send away? "
Both of them froze. They stopped where they were, their faces bitter.
Yes, who would they help even if they went out?
"It's better to stay put than to take action in the current situation. The key to whether they can or can't take it lies in the divergence of the critical point. Only they can feel it. Once they reach that point, if they can take it, they'll be reborn and reborn. On the other hand, if they can't take it, their mystical Qi will leak out from their dantian and their cultivation path will be gone, or they'll explode and die instantly … "
"Even if you want to help, it'll be too late by then."
"I've said it just now. This is fate. Since fate has come, we'll fight for our lives if we do what we can!"
Ping Xiaoyi and Guo Nuanyang were stunned once more.
"Are we just going to watch this happen?"
"Yes, the only thing we can do now is to wait and see what happens!"
Dong Qitian said pitifully, "This is the helplessness of life! This was a blessing that was hard to come by for an ordinary person, but it was also a great danger at the same time. You can't deprive them of the opportunity to meet just because of a crisis. "
Ping Xiaoyi and Guo Nuanyang heaved a long sigh into the sky, their hearts filled with complicated emotions.
In the distance, a shrill scream came from afar, followed by a mist of blood rising up.
That was because someone couldn't bear it and exploded and died.
This wail seemed to have triggered a chain reaction. Similar wails rang out one after another.
Ping Xiaoyi and Guo Nuanyang were drenched in cold sweat.
Qian Duoduo rushed up like a ball with a face full of lingering fear. "What happened? What happened? "
Ping Xiaoyi briefly explained the situation. Qian Duoduo, who understood the current situation, was stunned and speechless.
Dong Qitian said, "What all of you should be doing now isn't spacing out or blaming others. You can only let nature take its course when it's beyond your power and you can't take care of it. This is a chance for the three of you as well. All three of you are high-ranking members of the Residence of Nine Supremes. The spiritual Qi cleansing this time is also an opportunity for the three of you! "
"Now, make the best use of your time to cultivate in this spiritual Qi tide. This time, your progress will be comparable to ten years of usual cultivation!"
"The three of you, when are you going to wait if you're not going to work hard?"
"But …"
Dong Qitian smiled. "I'll keep an eye on some people for you. Go in peace. "
…
This time, the Spiritual Qi Tide surged crazily, and lasted for a whole seven days!
The Residence of Nine Supremes had changed completely during these seven days.
Firstly, many trees grew at an insane speed that could be seen with the naked eye, growing to their strongest state in less than a day. However, they withered quickly and turned into dust.
There were also some trees that grew at a relatively slow rate. They grew into towering trees and were fixed there.
Many of the flowers and plants withered the moment they were washed by the spiritual Qi, but the spiritual herbs were growing and spreading at an insane rate. After seven days, there were no longer any ordinary weeds or flowers in the Residence of Nine Supremes!
Those that were still alive were spiritual herbs, plants, fruits, and seedlings – all of them were spiritual roots!
None of the beasts in the Residence of Nine Supremes survived the change, all of them dying violently.
Some mystical beasts, however, advanced continuously in these seven days.
More than one thousand and three hundred of the two thousand servants in the Residence of Nine Supremes had died after seven days, while nearly a thousand of the ten thousand disciples had exploded and died after the spiritual Qi tide.
In other words, more than two thousand people in the Residence of Nine Supremes had perished in this event!
Compared to those who had died, those who survived had gone through more than one round of cleansing. Some of them had even shed more than one layer of their skin and hair.
Although Dong Qitian said that it was up to fate, most of his attention was still on the Residence of Nine Supremes' residence.
The family members of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten were basically all here. As the family members of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten, they naturally had a certain level of cultivation foundation. Coupled with Dong Qitian's protection, there were no problems and they survived the ordeal.
Like Dong Qitian had said, there was a limit to one's strength. Even Dong Qitian could not protect everyone in the Residence of Nine Supremes alone.
The Residence of Nine Supremes had undergone a complete makeover after this incident, but many people had disappeared forever.
Not only did Yun Yang not expect this, even Dong Qitian, a knowledgeable old demon who had lived for god knows how many years, did not expect this.
Seven days later, the Residence of Nine Supremes was enveloped in an unusually somber atmosphere.
Ping Xiaoyi and Guo Nuanyang had advanced a level each, ascending to second-class Saint King intermediate-level. It was a delightful achievement, but neither of them was overjoyed. After confirming that the spiritual Qi tide had ended, they moved all the dead bodies out at once and buried them in a nearby valley.
Looking at the giant tombstone, both of them were speechless for a long time.
Who would have thought that such a great thing would cause deaths, and so many of them in one go?
Both of them sighed.
They recalled Dong Qitian's words – there is no sin one cannot endure, only blessings one cannot enjoy!
"We'll deal with it when boss returns."
Both of them turned to leave.
…
After the spiritual Qi tide, Dong Qitian examined the remaining disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes again and was shocked to find that all the disciples who had survived the spiritual Qi tide were gifted and could be said to be the cream of the crop!
Many of them had even reached the bone foundation level of the top ten disciples back then!
"This luck really makes people envious and jealous!"
Dong Qitian retracted his mental energy quietly.
"More than two thousand people have reached that standard. If I didn't see it with my own eyes and investigate it personally, how can I believe it …"
"Even the East Celestial Palace doesn't have so many genius seedlings with such numbers and talents!"
"Such a situation wouldn't happen with just the spiritual Qi tide. This means that the mystical force in the spiritual Qi tide has also exerted a stronger effect … But, what's the reason? Yun Yang is obviously not here, but it can still activate on its own … "
"The various mysteries of the Residence of Nine Supremes … I really … can't see through them."
As he mumbled to the last sentence, Dong Qitian could not help feeling amused. He had lived in the Residence of Nine Supremes for so long, yet he had not noticed anything.
He was speechless!
If word got out and those who knew him knew about this, they would probably laugh themselves to death.
On the third day after the spiritual Qi tide stopped, something happened again.
Outside the Residence of Nine Supremes, a group of uninvited guests had arrived!
With a loud bang, the Mountain Guarding Formation shook from the sudden impact. A ferocious voice followed, "People in the Residence of Nine Supremes, listen up. Open the Mountain Guarding Formation as soon as possible and let us in. Everything can be discussed. Otherwise, the Mountain Guarding Formation will be broken and no one will be spared!"
The Seven Stars Sect had come to seek revenge!
