In the Du Zhen Hall, Zhang Yan's expression did not change when he heard the commotion outside, but his eyes were deep. He had been waiting for this bell for a long time.
He immediately said to Jing You, "Pass down my orders. The great battle is about to begin. The disciples of Clear Nether Heavenly Lake can enter my Black Lake Sea to hide. The various islands and manors can also enter if they are willing. The great battle is about to begin, and it is hard to say who will live or die. We are all disciples of my Dark Azure Sect, so there is no need to differentiate between master and disciple."
Jing You nodded and did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He immediately left with the order.
Zhang Yan knew that not only the three small worlds in the sky palace, but all the small worlds and caves in Qincang School were doing the same thing. All the junior disciples of Qincang School would hide in them.
In reality, hiding in a small world might not be safe during a war between sects. There were many ways to break small worlds in the world. Especially Bu Tian Pavilion, which had many secret treasures passed down by ancient cultivators, were used to correct the spiritual energy of the world. It was not easy to use them before, but once they were on the opposite side, they would definitely use them without any hesitation.
Once a world collapsed, normal cultivators would die immediately. Even their souls might not be left behind.
Although the Floating Heavenly Palace's Three Realms were under the protection of the Heavenly Palace's restrictions, once a battle broke out, this place would definitely be heavily guarded. Therefore, no one could say for sure whether they could avoid it.
After the bell rang six times, he stood up and walked out of the hall. Ning Chong Xuan was already waiting outside. He bowed and said, "Hall Master."
Zhang Yan bowed back and said, "Hall Master Ning Zuo, please follow me."
He walked first and pushed with his hand. The two of them crossed the formation door and arrived at the main hall of the Floating Heavenly Palace.
At this moment, most of the Zhen people were already there. Seeing him enter the hall, they all stood up and said, "Greetings, Hall Master Ji Zhen."
Zhang Yan bowed back. He came to the main seat on the left and bowed to Huo Xuan. Both of them sat down. Ning Chong Xuan also sat on the side. He looked around and saw that all the Zhen people were seated.
After the bell rang nine times, all the Zhen people's faces turned serious and they all stood up.
After a while, Sect Leader Qin came out from the back of the hall. Behind him were Qi Yuntian and Lu Junyang.
All the Zhenren saluted and said, "Sect Leader Zhenren."
After Sect Leader Qin sat down, Zhu Zhen also sat down. The place where Qi Yuntian landed was close to the Sect Leader, slightly higher than the two Hall Masters. Only Lv Junyang stood behind Sect Leader Qin. As a Protector, he only needed to listen to the orders of the Sect Leader alone. He didn't even need to pay attention to the orders of the other two Hall Masters. Although his position was transcendent, he didn't have the right to make decisions.
Zhang Yan looked over. With him in the lead, the seats were arranged in order. There were Meng Zhi De, Shen Baishuang, Qin Yu, Mu Shoushan, Zhu Zhi Xing, and Sun Zhi Yan.
The other side was led by Huo Xuan. They were Xiao Rongyu, Du Yunzhan, Han Zaiyang, Yan Gongzhen, and Peng Wenyin.
Including Qi Yuntian and Lu Junyang, there were a total of sixteen Grotto-Heaven Zhenrens in the main hall of Qincang School!
Since the creation of this world, there hadn't been a sect that could gather so many Grotto-Heaven Zhenrens. Even in the ancient times, there hadn't been such a sect in the three Western Continents.
At this moment, a stream of light rose above the two Dharma Thrones in front of the hall. Then, two figures appeared. They were the incarnations of Pingdu Sect's Qi Hongchan and Anzhen Temple's Pu Xuansheng.
After the two greeted Sect Leader Qin, they sat down in the hall.
Meng Zhen stood up and said, "Sect Leader Zhenren, Lishan Sect's Sect Leader Shen wishes to see you."
Sect Leader Qin said, "Please."
After a while, there were a few sounds of bells outside. Shen Zixin's figure appeared at the entrance of the hall. She first bowed and stepped in. Then, she walked up the stairs.
The Grotto-Heaven Zhenren on both sides looked over. She was just a Yuanying cultivator. Along the way, she almost couldn't move under such pressure. She was the leader of a sect. She had also served Zhenren Yuling for a long time, so she didn't lose her composure. Her expression was considered calm. When she reached the jade platform, she curtsied and said, "Lishan Sect's Shen Zixin greets Qincang School's Sect Leader Qin and Sect Leaders."
Sect Leader Qin said, "Sect Leader Shen, you don't have to be so polite."
Qi Hongchan and Pu Xuansheng nodded at her.
Meng Zhen said, "Sect Leader Shen, why are you here today?"
Shen Zixin bowed and said, "Before Lishan Sect's former Sect Leader Zhenren Yuling ascended, he left behind a talisman. He said that there was a mystery inside. He said that if there were any major changes in this world, he should give this talisman to your sect. Today, Zixin will follow his orders and present this talisman."
As she spoke, she took out a talisman book and held it up high, placing it on top of the platform.
Zhang Yan took a look at the talisman. If he was not mistaken, this talisman contained a mysterious technique.
He was very clear that with Zhenren Yuling's temperament, this talisman might not necessarily be given to Qincang School, but it could also be given to Yuxiao school. It all depended on how the situation would change and how it would benefit him.
However, under the persuasion of Ping Du and Huanzhen, Shen Zixin came to Qincang School before the new year. She had also signed the talisman, which was why the talisman ended up in his hands.
Sect Leader Qin waved his horsetail whisk and took the talisman in his hand. He looked at it and nodded, "Daoist Yuling, thank you." He looked over and asked gently, "Sect Leader Shen, do you have any request?"
Shen Zixin bowed deeply and said, "Lishan Sect has a shallow foundation and is not strong enough. Today, I would like to ask for your protection to go beyond the heavens. I hope Sect Leader Qin will allow it."
Sect Leader Qin nodded and said, "Since your sect is willing to join Qincang School, I will naturally accommodate you."
Shen Zixin bowed again and boarded the ship of Qincang School. She did not know if it was the right decision, but she remembered what Zhenren Yuling had said. She also thought that there were many sects in Qincang School that she could talk about and take care of. On the other hand, Yuxiao did not have much contact with Nan Hua, Tai Hao and the other sects. Their attitude was also cold, so even if she joined them, she would only be suspicious.
After she presented the talisman, because she was also a sect leader and the first disciple of an ascended Zhenren, she had a seat.
However, she knew that her cultivation experience was too low to be on the same level as Zhenren. Hence, after she sat down, she lowered her head and did not say a word.
Meng Zhen spoke again, "Reporting to Sect Leader, should we inform the other sects about Qincang School's intention to go beyond the heavens?"
Sect Leader Qin replied, "There's no need to do that. The sects will definitely send a punitive force to denounce us. When that time comes, it's settled. Those who are willing to follow me can go. Those who are unwilling can do as they please. If they come to stop us, we'll just behead them. "
When everyone heard this, they all responded in unison.
Suddenly, a talisman flew in from outside the hall and headed straight for Zhang Yan. He reached out and took it, glanced at it, then bowed to the person above and said, "Sect Leader Zhenren. Clear Feather Sect Leader Tao Zhenhong, Chongyue Zhen Monastery Elder Mi Xiunan, and Long Heavy Monastery Sect Leader Li Xiumi have sent a letter. The formation plate above the South Sea has already been set. Once the sect gives the order, it can be activated immediately. "
Sect Leader Qin said in a deep voice, "This battle is not about winning or losing in a short period of time. The earth energy is still in the process of being absorbed. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move first."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Disciple understands. I'll send a letter to inform them immediately."
In Bu Tian Pavilion, Tan Dingxian sat alone in the attic. He looked at the turbulent winds and clouds in the sky with a heavy expression.
Bu Jingsu came to his back and said, "Sect Leader Senior Brother. Based on the flow of the earth veins and the changes in the spiritual opportunity, the earth energy should be coming from the north.
Even though Tan Dingxian had expected this, his body could not help but tremble. He mumbled, "How could it be like this, how could it be like this!"
But after a while, he shook his head and sighed. "Why is it so unwise, so unwise!" After sighing, he said in a painful tone, "The great calamity is coming, the great calamity is coming!"
Bu Jingsu carefully asked, "May I ask how senior brother should deal with this?"
Tan Dingxian scoffed and said, "What is there to deal with? If Qincang School dares to do this, they must be prepared to fight against all the sects in the world. Send a letter to all the sects. Inform them about this. "
Bu Jingsu bowed and said, "Junior brother, please do as you say."
However, Tan Dingxian stopped him and said, "Wait, I will bring my Bu Tian Pavilion's magical treasures and go to Jade Firmament first. I can only hope that Master Ling Ya has the means to stop this person and save the sky. Try to control the mountain gate and try to get closer to Mo Chiyu Cliff.
Not much time had passed. Rays of golden light flew out of Bu Tian Pavilion's mountain gate and went to every sect's mountain gate. Even the six demonic sects were not left behind.
In Yuan Yang Sect, the sect leader Qu Ruyi quickly received the letter. However, after reading it, his usual calm expression disappeared and was replaced by a deep frown.
He had expected that Yue Cang Sect had always been making arrangements in the dark and that they would start a war with Jade Heaven Sect sooner or later. However, he had never thought that Yue Cang Sect would actually dig up the earth's roots and harvest earth qi.
What was Qincang School trying to do by acting without considering the consequences?
He ordered people to summon Wen, Fu, Wu, Wu, and Qiao, the five Heavenly Abode Spiritual Masters. Then, he passed the letter to everyone to read.
After the five of them read it, they all showed the most shocked expression, as if they couldn't believe it.
Enlightened Master Wen hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and saying, "What the Dark Azure Sect is doing is a great crime against the world. They will definitely be attacked by all sects. Sect Leader Senior Martial Brother, we can't hesitate anymore. Now that the calamity has clearly arrived, we can only seek stability by relying on the Jade Cloud Sect. If I waver here and there, who knows if the sects will also think that I am standing on the Dark Azure Sect's side and eradicate me together."
Qu Ruyi nodded and asked, "Are you sure that Yuxiao will win?"
Reverend Wen said, "Forgive me for speaking nonsense, but once the earth's roots are moved, even Shao Qing and the six demonic sects will not tolerate their Yue Cang sect. Even if they have fourteen Reverends in their sect, how can they withstand the combined attack of all the sects in the world?"
Qu Ruyi shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about the demonic sects. Shaoqing might not stand on Yuxiao's side. They might even ally with Qincang School."
"Why would Shaoqing Sect …"
Spiritual Master Wen could not continue his sentence. With Shaoqing Sect's usual style, it was not impossible that they would not do that.
Qu Ruyi looked at everyone and said, "Since Qincang School dares to do this, how can they not have a backup plan? However, Junior Sister Wen is right about one thing. No matter what they want to do, as long as they harvest the earth's Qi, such a crazy action will make them the enemy of all the cultivators in the world. Even if Shaoqing really works with them, how can they resist the vast power of the world! "
When the five of them heard that, their spirits were lifted. They did not care about the power of the world. They only knew that Yuxiao had the jade cliff that could suppress the continent. Back then, the cultivators of the West Continent could not even break through it when they fought with the demons. It was clear how strong it was. With this treasure, they might not be invincible, but at least they could protect their sect.
Qu Ruyi straightened his body and said in a deep voice, "Go to Yuxiao school and tell them that Yuanyang Sect is willing to ally with them to fight against Qincang!"
