Volume 7 Chapter 67: The First Day (Part 1)

Suddenly, the entire Lingzhou State experienced a tremendous change. Countless dark clouds appeared, and the world was shrouded in darkness. Amid the flashes of lightning and roaring thunder, light and darkness were equally split, the earth shook, and the sky fell, resembling a scene from hell.

The powers of nature raged on, wild winds howled, and hills collapsed. Everyone was outside Lingzhou State; although they were only a few meters away, the scene was calm compared to the catastrophic view before them, making it particularly strange.

This apocalyptic sight caused the faces of the top experts in the world to change in color.

Suddenly, several terrifyingly powerful bolts of lightning struck down from the dark clouds, hitting a spot and causing the space to shake violently. Amid the turmoil, a black hole appeared, and as time passed, it gradually stabilized. At that moment, the entrance of the black hole shimmered with a faint white light, resembling a doorway to another time and space.

"Let’s go inside."

Upon seeing the entrance, Xu Qingfan smiled.

Mr. Liu stopped Xu Qingfan and said, "Not so fast. It’s not better to rush in first."

Indeed, as the "Azure Crystal Treasure House" opened, no one from the major forces stepped forward. The Shura Clan people did not understand what was inside the "Azure Crystal Treasure House." They had planned to rush in as soon as it opened, but when they saw all the human masters standing still, they hesitated and lingered at a distance, not daring to go further.

"What is happening?"

Xu Qingfan quietly asked Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu softly explained, "You know that the ‘Azure Crystal Treasure House’ is a space crack that appeared at the beginning of the world. It trapped some Chaos Qi, Pure Spirit Qi, and a bit of Spirit Qi, becoming a completely independent little world. The three energies combined to form ‘Azure Crystal Dust,’ but not all the Chaos Qi and Pure Spirit Qi turned into ‘Azure Crystal Dust.’ Much of the three energies still exists in this world."

"Is existing separately harmful?"

Xu Qingfan asked.

"Yes, any living being in the world that slightly touches Chaos Qi will turn to dust. If they touch Purifying Qi, they will become nothingness. However, if they touch Spirit Qi, their minds will become very confused. These three energies are everywhere inside the ‘Azure Crystal Treasure House,’ and to go deeper inside it, one must clear away the energies blocking the path. This takes a lot of strength, so the first person to enter must make a path. After making the path, they won’t have the strength to collect anything."

"I see." Xu Qingfan nodded, a smile suddenly crossed his face as he asked, "Do the Shura Clan know about this?"

"They never deal with crafting tools. Even if they have been to the ‘Azure Crystal Treasure House,’ it was probably many generations ago. From their performance so far, they likely do not know."

The smile on Mr. Liu’s face was even happier than Xu Qingfan’s.

At the same time, almost all the human masters wore mysterious smiles, as if they had a secret understanding, but none of them took action.

Finally, the members of the Shura Clan could not hold back and flew towards the "Azure Crystal Treasure House." They probably wanted to enter first and set an ambush.

Seeing the figures of the Shura Clan disappear into the entrance, every human master silently smiled. Liu Ziqing nudged Xu Qingfan and pointed at the entrance of the ‘Azure Crystal Treasure House,’ saying with a grin, "Make a path; no matter when, it is a great deed for all eternity."

Xu Qingfan nodded and sighed, "But, no one knows how many souls’ tears and sweat will be buried under the road when we make a path. The road isn’t easy to build, especially when we know nothing about it."

In the wind, faintly sounded a few angry roars.

Mr. Liu sighed and said, "What a pity, only two or three have died, and none of them are important people. It seems those from the Shura Clan are also being very careful."

While everyone was talking, the four hidden masters could no longer hold back and flew towards the "Azure Crystal Treasure House."

Next, the ancestor of the Zhong family brought Feng Qingtian and the Nine-Tails inside.

Then Zizhen and the masters of the Human Alliance entered as well.

Suddenly, outside the entrance, only Xu Qingfan, Mr. Liu, and Zhang Xusheng’s two major forces remained.

"Please go ahead, senior."

Xu Qingfan cupped his hands to Zhang Xusheng and said with a smile.

"No, you go first."

Zhang Xusheng replied while gesturing.

"Since Taoist Friend Zhang is so polite, Qingfan, let’s go inside first."

Mr. Liu said.

Xu Qingfan nodded, gave another nod to Zhang Xusheng and the others, and then flew with Mr. Liu, carrying Liu Ziqing and Wang Zegang, towards the "Azure Crystal Treasure House."

After Xu Qingfan and the others entered the "Azure Crystal Treasure House," Zhang Xusheng smiled and said to the people beside him, "Let’s go in too."

…

Just as Xu Qingfan and the others were entering the "Azure Crystal Treasure House," many experts from Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands gathered not far from the East China Sea, calmly watching the apocalyptic scene.

Among them, Bai Qingfu led the group, with the five great protectors and four disciples from the Tian family, while the elite members of Tianzuo Camp and Outer Seven Camps stood behind them.

However, it was strange that Chou and his Tianyou Camp were nowhere to be seen, and nobody knew where they had gone.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yi and Dongfang Qingling stayed in Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands; Zhang Yi to balance Xu Hui, while Dongfang Qingling was there to take care of Ting’er, and Shen Gang was in charge of the affairs of Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands.

Bai Qingfu’s face was calm as he hovered over the East Sea for a long time. Suddenly, he waved his hand and said, "Tianzuo Camp, let’s move out."

"Yes."

As soon as Bai Qingfu spoke, the Tianzuo Camp behind him replied in unison, turning into wisps of smoke and flying toward You State.

"Masters of the Island, guardians, get ready. We are always prepared to act."

While speaking, Bai Qingfu glanced at Little Black, who was quietly flying beside him. Little Black nodded slightly at Bai Qingfu, reassuring him and indicating that his team, the Dark Crow, was ready.

Seeing Little Black’s gesture, Bai Qingfu seemed to let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the distant land filled with tombs in You State, he sighed, "After a hundred years of planning, the time has finally come. It has begun."

He raised his head to look at the blazing sun, his eyes filled with both anticipation and anxiety.

…

At the same time, in the southwest of Shenzhou Continent, at the secret headquarters of the Shura Clan.

At this moment, Chou and Tianyou Camp were hiding here, quietly observing the surroundings.

"Young Island Master, the appointed time has arrived."

Huangquan Baigui whispered in Xu Qingfan’s ear.

Chou gently waved his hand and said, "Kill!"
