Chapter 448 - 419: The Heavenly Dao Has Changed
At the same time.
Within the Taiyuan Realm.
Natural disasters arise everywhere.
Some places witness mountain collapses, others see rivers cut off, and there are scenes of rising temperatures, arid lands stretching for miles.
These changes naturally do not escape the ears and eyes of the Taiyuan Realm cultivators.
"Natural disasters have appeared!"
"I’m afraid a great calamity is about to descend—"
Within an ancient city floating amongst the clouds, there stood a building like the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Tower, towering in the ancient city. In the secret chamber at the top of the Ancient Tower, an elder with white hair and beard furrowed his brows and immediately began calculating with his fingers.
A moment later.
His expression turned grim.
"Unable to calculate, a powerful force is blocking it in the darkness... Could it be related to the Heavenly Dao!"
The elder pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, causing streams of light to burst forth. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared, and he closed his eyes again, with Dao Rhymes surfacing, as if entering a mysterious state.
...
"The Heavenly Dao has changed!"
Within the Pure Yang Sect, Lv Chunyang, who was in seclusion, now opened his eyes, a gleam flashing through them. He looked up towards the direction of the Azure Sky, as if he could penetrate the essence of heaven and earth.
As a peak expert at the late stage of Mahayana, just a step away from complete Mahayana, this level is not much different from the limit of the Taiyuan Realm. Now, the change in the Heavenly Dao naturally does not escape his notice.
The Heavenly Dao has changed.
But the specific reason for the change is something Lv Chunyang does not know.
With this in mind.
Lv Chunyang directly emerged from seclusion, taking a single step and disappearing from the Pure Yang Sect.
The next instant.
He appeared above Qingming, each step displaying the divine technique of Shrinking Inches. In less than a moment, Lv Chunyang had already entered the ancient city.
At the moment Lv Chunyang entered, a mysterious light beamed down upon him. He offered no resistance, allowing the light to envelop and carry him away.
Space twisted and transformed.
In less than a breath, Lv Chunyang found himself in a secret chamber.
"What brings you to my Celestial Secret City today, Chunyang?"
The elder chuckled lightly.
Lv Chunyang’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "The Heavenly Dao has changed, causing natural disasters everywhere. Your Celestial Secret Pavilion is always adept at calculations and divination, so I came specifically to ask!"
"The Heavenly Dao has indeed changed, and I naturally sensed it. I even tried to calculate it myself, but unfortunately, a force blocked me, making it impossible to figure out much!"
The elder shook his head slightly.
Upon hearing this, Lv Chunyang’s eyes immediately narrowed.
"Even you can’t calculate it?"
The elder before him appeared ordinary, but Lv Chunyang knew his true identity. He was the founder of the Celestial Secret Pavilion, known by the title Master Celestial Secret.
The elder, strictly speaking, was of the same seniority as Lv Chunyang, being a Reincarnation Mahayana of Eight Reincarnations. Observing his current aura stepping into Tribulation Crossing perfection, likely, it wouldn’t be long before he entered the ninth reincarnation.
An Eight Tribulation Mahayana!
And now rebuilt to the realm of Tribulation Crossing perfection.
Given Master Celestial Secret’s calculation techniques, even matters involving the Heavenly Secrets and karmic threads of Mahayana stage experts couldn’t escape his divination.
But now.
For Master Celestial Secret to admit he couldn’t calculate it, how could Lv Chunyang not be shocked?
After all.
If even he couldn’t calculate it, it indicated the matter was of great significance.
At this moment, Master Celestial Secret continued, "Although I can’t determine the exact cause, from the current situation, there’s a bit of an indication."
"Please, tell me, fellow Daoist."
"The Cyan Yang Divine Court—"
Upon hearing the name, Lv Chunyang’s brows tightened immediately.
Cyan Yang Divine Court!
Initially, Lv Chunyang didn’t pay much attention to Cyan Yang Divine Court. After all, although the display of power wasn’t weak, it was just that.
As a dominant force at the peak of late Mahayana, Lv Chunyang believed he could suppress the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
But afterwards.
As Demon Venerable Xuan Yin vanished like a stone sinking into the sea and there was no news after entering Cyan Yang Divine Court, Lv Chunyang took the Cyan Yang Divine Court seriously.
Lv Chunyang was very aware of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s strength, even he wasn’t confident of killing him.
This alone was enough to indicate that Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s power was at least at the peak of late Mahayana.
To easily see to it that a peak Mahayana expert couldn’t stir a single wave, even if it wasn’t clear what methods Cyan Yang Divine Court used, Lv Chunyang was still extremely wary.
At the moment.
Master Celestial Secret’s mention of the Cyan Yang Divine Court left Lv Chunyang’s heart somewhat heavy.
"The collision of the Two Realms means that their Heavenly Daos will inevitably clash, and a strong Heavenly Dao will suppress a weaker one. Consequently, the weaker Heavenly Dao will naturally perish.
With natural disasters everywhere now and changes in the Heavenly Dao, it’s highly likely that the Taiyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao is at a disadvantage facing the Cyan Yang Realm’s Heavenly Dao.
Once the Cyan Yang Realm’s Heavenly Dao suppresses and completely destroys the Taiyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao, consuming it, the only fate awaiting Taiyuan Realm’s living beings is extinction!"
Master Celestial Secret, by the end, had an unprecedented seriousness in his expression.
Heavenly Daos have always been devouring each other, and the Taiyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao once devoured others, causing billions of living beings to perish.
If the Taiyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao falls and gets devoured, then the only fate awaiting Taiyuan Realm’s living beings seems to be annihilation.
No matter whether one is a Reincarnation Mahayana or a pinnacle Mahayana expert, as long as one hasn’t truly transcended, they will always be restrained by the Heavenly Dao.
When the Heavenly Dao gets destroyed.
The world fades into oblivion.
All non-transcendental cultivators will perish together.
Watching Lv Chunyang’s grave expression, Master Celestial Secret paused for a moment before speaking again, "Currently, to resolve this crisis, there is only one way, and that is to weaken the strength of the Cyan Yang Realm’s Heavenly Dao.
Only then, in the war between the Two Realms’ Heavenly Daos, can our Taiyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao win."
"To weaken the Cyan Yang Realm’s Heavenly Dao strength..."
Lv Chunyang’s expression lightly changed.
As a top expert, he naturally understood how to weaken a realm’s Heavenly Dao strength.
By killing beings of that realm, suppressing top experts, naturally weakening the power of the Heavenly Dao. But doing so would mean the Taiyuan Realm initiating another war against the Cyan Yang Realm.
In truth.
Lv Chunyang did not want to do this.
After all, launching into conflict with an unfamiliar and mysterious Cyan Yang Realm inadvertently offered no benefit to himself.
However, as Master Celestial Secret said, if left unchecked, whenever the Taiyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao loses, then they too have a dead-end.
The current natural disasters indicate that the Taiyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao is already at a crisis state, and dragging further may only worsen the situation.
With this in mind.
Lv Chunyang took a deep breath, "The Celestial Secret Pavilion, as a neutral force, can transmit this calculation to all parties. To oppose the Cyan Yang Divine Court now, we need to unify the entire strength of the Taiyuan Realm to have any chance of success."
"Of course..."
