Chapter 84

"Not just the spiritual world, but will the Demon Realm be in trouble too? What about Blue Mountain?"

Having been here for so many years, Hu Xiao Bai had heard of the reputation of the master of Tianji Sect; it frightened him so much that his tail stood up, and he anxiously asked about his clan’s fate.

Sect Master Yan’s answer was very cold, "Naturally, it is a path to destruction."

"No, that can’t be true!" Hu Xiao Bai could hardly believe his ears, his tail and ears drooped down, and he felt like he was dreaming.

"Master." The fox looked at Yun Chuxiu with its beautiful eyes full of tears, "I must be dreaming, right? Or am I stuck in an illusion?"

Yun Chuxiu shook his head slightly.

Not only Hu Xiaobai refused to believe it, but no one wanted to accept that the spiritual world was about to be destroyed, "I don’t believe it. If there is a Tribulation of Destruction, we can’t escape it at all. Why gather us here if we’re just going to lay flat and wait to die?"

Cultivators go against the heavens; even though the road ahead is dangerous and full of obstacles, everyone still has a beautiful hope, which is to ascend to immortality and gain great power.

Moreover, every time they successfully break through a level, their lifespan increases significantly. The cultivators who can become direct disciples and elders are mostly young prodigies among their peers; no matter how humble they appear, deep down they are very proud.

Each of them feels they have an unlimited future, especially the young prodigies who, having seen such a vast world, would never willingly settle for less.

But now they have received news that, in the face of the Tribulation of Destruction, even the powerful cannot do anything, which cannot help but make people feel uneasy.

"Sigh…" Sect Master Yan sighed heavily once again, "As a Transcendency Stage cultivator, even if I make no progress, I can still live for another ten or twenty thousand years. If not for that, why would I keep sacrificing my lifespan to predict this news? But…"

The Sect Master of Tianheng shoved him urgently, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and say it, there is no need for suspense at a time like this!"

In a life-or-death crisis, why talk in riddles?

Sect Master Yan said, "But… I recently calculated the heavenly secrets again and discovered the Tribulation of Destruction, which finally showed a glimmer of hope."

After countless calculations, he faced despair after despair, again and again, with each moment becoming more tragic, the scenes of suffering made him fall into utter hopelessness.

So, over the years, he has been in seclusion in the sect, completely ignoring even his disciples who were traveling outside.

Until recently, he suddenly felt an awakening, realizing that there was a turning point in the fate of their advancement, which had actually appeared over twenty years ago, but at that time it had too little impact on fate.

Under the blazing flames, it was like the faint light of a firefly, hardly noticeable.

Yet, it was precisely this firefly-like existence that caused a shift towards a better direction in the unchangeable fate line.

"A turning point means a savior is coming; don’t hide it! Tell me quickly, who is the savior?"

The answer appeared in my mind: It should be the heroine Song Mingzhu, after all, she is the main character in the book, a wielder of great fortune, someone blessed with immense luck.

If there is hope, then there is a way to survive. Seeing this, the troubled cultivators perked up and said, "Tell us what we can do."

The leader of the Tianheng Sect finished speaking, suddenly realized something, stood up again, and said, "If you are worried that someone may harm the savior, choose a few people to stay, and then use your own power to make the Internal Demon Oath."

The leader of the Tianyuan Sect added, "I remember there should still be a page left in the contract book. I can take it out to draft the agreement."

The Internal Demon Oath is different from the Internal Demon Oath; when it concerns a savior, one must be very cautious. The few people who stay must be scrutinized for their character and abilities, and the oath they make must be binding and aimed at the most precious thing that person has.

This kind of oath, similar to a curse, combined with the restrictions of the contract technique, will ensure that they cannot harm the savior.

Honestly speaking, if all the top sects turn against each other, this world would be close to its end.

Sect Master Yan smiled wryly and shook his head, "There’s no need for anyone to step aside…"

His expression was obscure, "I did manage to find a glimmer of hope, but everything related to that hope is shrouded in mist, and I can’t predict anything."

He could see that things were changing, and he wanted to do something. He put in his efforts, but all he could see was a thick fog.

In the sect, there were many cultivators who could read fortunes, not just him. To see the future, his junior brother, who joined the sect with Sect Master Yan, lost his eyesight but could only see that the turning point involved a woman.

There are so many women in the world; they can’t possibly check each one individually. The sect has only a few cultivators, and without another junior brother, he had to sacrifice his own eyesight to gather more information.

If it was a simple fortune for one person, he could find out the exact time, place, number of people, and even the reasons and consequences.

However, when it involved the entire spiritual world, and even the beings of the Three Realms, he could only gather a few key pieces of information.

Now that there were changes, he initially thought he could use this to predict more with less effort, but the problem was that after so many years, he still couldn’t find out who the important change really was.

"How could this happen?"

Yes, how could this happen? Yun Chuxiu also couldn’t understand and naturally showed a look of surprise.

Sect Master Yan continued, "The change in the turning point seems positive, but based on my understanding of destiny, the early invasion of the demon cultivators belongs to a negative trend. In the original fate, the demon cultivators should not have invaded so widely at this time…"

Now it is too early. He predicted that the Daughter of Destiny and the Son of Destiny have not even fully grown up.

Although in the Tribulation of Destruction, both the Daughter of Destiny and the Son of Destiny would be burned completely by the flames coming from the sky, their existence could at least buy time to resist and save more innocent lives.

It is because of the uncertainty of the future that Sect Master Yan, who once had great confidence in himself, began to doubt his life.

"I once predicted matters about demon cultivators, but the timing was wrong. Perhaps I am getting old and my predictions are not as accurate. I can provide my own fortune."

A cultivator who sees it as their duty to eliminate all demons asked, "Is the Tribulation of Destruction related to the demon cultivators? Did they provoke it?"

"They are only the beginning of the great calamity, but not the entirety of it."

Seeing everyone looking confused at him, Sect Master Yan continued to explain, "The demon cultivator is the start, which means that the timing of the great calamity may also come earlier. I hope you all can stay and calculate."

The Heavenly Machine Pavilion is the best at divination and has never been wrong in such major matters. But now the one who is most skilled in divination has lost confidence, and moreover, when it comes to the Tribulation of Destruction, even if they inform people, many cultivators, like those today, will likely be unwilling to believe.

Since the Heavenly Machine Pavilion’s influence is not enough, let’s bring in more cultivators. After all, while they are the best at divination, they are not the only ones who can perform it. In times like this, it is better to gather everyone’s wisdom.

A group of people immediately expressed their unconditional trust in Sect Master Yan, "Brother Yan, if you can’t get it right, then no one can."

"That’s right, there’s no need to calculate; I believe your calculations are definitely correct."

"Since it’s the Tribulation of Destruction, we should save our strength as much as possible and not waste our life force on repeated divination."

The cultivator of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion gave up, but the Buddhist sect, known for its compassion, also arrived. Besides the Buddha Child, another elder who came was well-versed in the Buddha’s fate teachings and had received the news in advance.

Kongming said, "I have some talent in deciphering heavenly secrets, so I will give it a try."

He performed the divination in front of everyone, and the result was indeed no different from that of the Heavenly Secrets Sect. However, as he divined, his complexion changed from rosy to pale, as if a mysterious force was continually draining life from him.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, "Friend Yan, there’s no need to belittle yourself; your skill in divination is just as proficient as always."

Seeing such abilities from the Buddhist sect, the other cultivators from different sects expressed that they did not have that capability:

"I can’t do it; my divination skills are not very good."

"I can’t do it either, but if you want me to help take down the demon cultivator, I am willing to give my full strength."

Trying to uncover such a big secret uses up so much more mental energy than ordinary matters, even Sect Master Yan, who was born to foresee things, has become like this. Who knows what price they have to pay?

The Buddhist cultivators have strong blessings protecting them; after one calculation, they immediately coughed up blood. If it were us with insufficient skills, we might even lose our lives.

"A straightforward cultivator said, ‘Since we can’t even make a proper calculation, what’s the point of gathering us here? Rather than wasting time talking, we might as well go back to guard our sect.’"

"I invited all of you here because I do have ways to deal with the demon cultivator."

Although the demon cultivator’s attack came a bit earlier, Sect Master Yan had already foreseen it.

"Don’t worry, everyone; this group of demon cultivators won’t amount to much."

When the topic of the demon cultivator came up, Yun Chuxiu felt Sect Master Yan glance at him.

The demon cultivators attacked the spiritual world several years earlier than the original fate line, and their killing power was weakened a bit. Plus, since he had already foreseen this matter, he naturally knew how to deal with the demon cultivators.

Sect Master Yan said, "The demon cultivator attacking early is both good and bad for us."

"How can that be good?"

"Their attack at this time shows they are unprepared and acting hastily, so the cultivators who die will be fewer than what fate predicts."

As for the bad part, "The fate has already changed, which means the Tribulation of Destruction may come sooner."

Everyone’s faces fell, "We would rather not have this kind of good news!"

"Since it has come to this, we can only face the enemy and act according to the situation," Sect Master Yan said. "We must think positively; at least, we have more chances now than before."

After sending off the leaders, Sect Master Yun planned to leave with Xie Fuzhi when he was suddenly stopped by the leader of Tianyuan Sect, "Sect Master Yun, may I speak with you alone for a moment?"

Xie Fuzhi immediately asked, "Is there something I can’t hear?"

The leader of Tianyuan Sect changed to a private communication, "It’s not that I want to talk to you, but Sect Master Yan wants to speak with you alone for a while."

Yun Chuxiu thought for a moment and squeezed Xie Fuzhi’s hand, "Since we are talking alone, we can just use our thoughts to communicate."

The next moment, the gentle voice of Sect Master Yan reached Yun Chuxiu’s ears, "Taoist Friend Yun is from another world and is also a turning point. Next, I believe it would be more sincere to talk face to face. Would you be willing to give me a chance to speak with you alone?"
