Chapter 539: Tao Calamity Strikes
At this moment, everyone in the Qing-zhu Desolate World was deeply shocked by the sudden appearance of a huge black cloud.
This black cloud not only appeared above the Summer Palace, but covered the entire sky.
However, compared to Blood Robe and the others, they were more confused and did not know what this black cloud represented.
After all, no one in this world had ever experienced a Tao Calamity before.
As they looked at the sky covered by the dark cloud, turning day into night, everyone felt heavy-hearted.
In Xia City, an ordinary-looking man gazed at the black cloud. Although his face showed surprise, he seemed calmer compared to the others.
He murmured, "This Tao Calamity, although not as severe as the one I experienced before, is it really because of Jiang Yun?"
This person was none other than the clone of Mountain-Sea World Realm Master Wang Lin.
Ever since he found out that the Ten Thousand Demons Cave and other forces had invaded Nanshan Province, he was hesitant about whether to tell Jiang Yun about this news.
Originally, he would never have such a thought!
As the Realm Master, he could not interfere with the fate of the realm he guarded, nor have any contact with the creatures within it, let alone provide assistance.
But after witnessing how Gu Bulao forcefully chased away the expert from the Seeking Dao Sect and threatened to destroy the sect, he began to have second thoughts.
Furthermore, during the imminent destruction of the Shadow Spirit World, he recognized that Jiang Yun had used a sword move originated from the Sword Sect.
These observations made him start to have his own ideas about the true identities of Gu Bulao and Jiang Yun.
Despite his title of Realm Master sounding imposing, the reality was that being the Realm Master of the Desolate World was a challenging task.
Therefore, he dared not offend powerful entities he couldn’t provoke, such as the Sword Sect and Gu Bulao.
For the past month, he had been staying in Xia City, waiting for Jiang Yun to come out and still struggling with whether to tell him about the situation in the Mountain-Sea World.
However, he never expected to see the Tao Calamity caused by Jiang Yun here!
But this finally helped him make up his mind, "If Jiang Yun can pass the Tao Calamity smoothly, then I will tell him it’s fate!"
…
Chang Li and other powerful beings from the Sky Blessed Realm had to break through again and look towards the dark clouds and Summer Palace.
Although they didn’t know the significance of the dark clouds, it was easy to guess it was related to a catastrophe.
They were even more certain that the dark clouds appeared because of Jiang Yun.
Especially Xia Qi looked grave, with a furrowed brow.
"Grandpa, what’s going on?"
Xia Zhongtian’s voice sounded beside Xia Qi.
Although the leader of the Xia family in the Earth Protection Realm was a strong warrior, he looked just as surprised as everyone else at the moment.
Xia Qi shook his head and said, "I don’t know, it seems like Jiang Yun is the target of some kind of calamity."
"What should we do now?"
After taking a deep breath, Xia Qi spoke in a serious tone that echoed throughout the Summer Palace, "Everyone, go back inside immediately and do not go out!"
After saying that, a faint bitter smile appeared on Xia Qi’s face.
As a powerful Sky Blessed Realm cultivator, the strongest being in this world, for over a year now, all he could do was hide repeatedly!
Faced with the four major Daoist clans, he remained hidden in the Summer Palace, and now, confronted with this dark cloud, he could only continue to hide with his people!
And all of this was because of Jiang Yun’s appearance.
With this thought in mind, Xia Qi suddenly said to Xia Zhongtian, "No matter what you thought of Jiang Yun before, from now on, immediately erase those thoughts and never think like that again!"
"Grandpa!"
Hearing this sentence, Xia Zhongtian was suddenly shocked.
Because Grandpa hit the nail on the head about his thoughts!
Even though more than a year ago, he personally witnessed how Jiang Yun, single-handedly, surpassed the Four Great Daoist clans, but in Xia Zhongtian’s mind, the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip was still unforgettable.
He even speculated that what Jiang Yun revealed at that time should not be his true strength, but like a secret technique, temporarily obtaining some kind of powerful force.
Therefore, he secretly decided that when Jiang Yun reappeared, he would still find a way to snatch back the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip.
However, now his idea was exposed by Grandpa.
Before Xia Zhongtian could speak, Xia Qi suddenly looked at him coldly and said, "Although I have long stopped inquiring about family matters, it doesn’t mean I don’t know anything!"
"The departure of Zhongxing, the ambition of Zhongwu, the death of Zhongyun, and the bottom line guarded by their other five sons, these matters are all related to you and cannot be escaped!"
"Jiang Yun once said, in the Daoist clan, the clan can be changed, so today I’ll tell you too, if you don’t behave, then Xia family master can also be replaced!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Qi threw his sleeves, and his figure disappeared without a trace, leaving Xia Zhongtian drenched in cold sweat.
…
Meanwhile, Jiang Yun, deep in the earth, had his eyes back to normal and also heard the message from Blood Robe, knowing that the dark clouds in the sky were a calamity cloud coming for him.
Although Jiang Yun had never experienced a Tao Calamity, he had faced Tianyan’s anger and countless Dan Disasters, so he did not feel as shocked or fearful as Blood Robe and others did towards the Tao Calamity.
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Yun finally stood up, took a step, and left the depths of the earth where he had been for a year, appearing in the sky above Summer Palace.
Naturally, Jiang Yun’s appearance was immediately noticed, and cries of surprise spread from all directions of Xia City.
"Look, it’s Jiang Yun!"
"He’s been in closed-door cultivation for a year and finally came out!"
"Could these dark clouds be his doing as well?"
"It must be, what does he want to do!"
At this moment, Jiang Yun, compared to a year ago, had only grown taller by half a head, with no other changes.
Even the Blood Robe and others couldn’t know for sure if he had cultivated the Chaos Heaven Cave.
"Boom!"
The sound of the crowd’s discussion was quickly drowned out by the thunderous sound coming from within the dark clouds, as if the clouds themselves had noticed Jiang Yun’s appearance.
"Jiang Yun, Tao Calamity is completely different from Dan Disaster. Dan Disaster only brings down thunder calamities, but Tao Calamity brings down calamities related to the Tao."
"In Tao Calamity, no one can help you, you can only rely on your own strength to endure."
"If you cannot overcome Tao Calamity, it will result in the extinction of your Dao."
"If you can succeed in crossing it, not only will your realm become more stable for others, but you will also have a deeper understanding of the enlightenment you have gained."
"But for you…"
Blood Robe paused here in his transmission because he could not provide any more detailed explanations.
Jiang Yun’s breakthrough to the Sky Reaching Realm brought about the Tao Calamity, which was already unbelievable.
In addition, Jiang Yun’s inability to comprehend the Tao made it uncertain what changes would occur if he survived the Tao Calamity.
However, Blood Robe didn’t hold much hope for Jiang Yun to pass the Tao Calamity, so he could only try his best to explain to him what the Tao Calamity was.
"Tao Calamity!"
Jiang Yun looked up at the dark clouds and a strong fighting spirit erupted in his eyes!
