"The wordless jade stele..."
Wang Ba’s heart stirred, and the glowing light upon the stele rapidly flew out, sinking into his consciousness.
In his mind, it formed a sprawling expanse filled with tens of thousands of words and various diagrams.
At the beginning, several large characters stood out prominently:
"The Skill of Dao Refining."
"Is this... a method of extracting Dao Intention, Dao Secret, and refining Dao Secret even up to the Dao Domain?!"
Rapidly scanning through, Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel a shock to his heart.
But there was no time to think further, he quickly memorized the method in his heart, then his consciousness immediately returned to his body.
He now stood at the summit of Wanfa Peak, witnessing the countless cracks, black holes in the sky, and the myriad calamities continuously evolving in the heavens.
His heart instantly sank to the abyss!
Above Jin, there were several narrow black fissures, along with other countless minuscule cracks.
His Spiritual Sense swept out quickly, only to find that within the entire Sect, only two Immortal Ascension cultivators remained—Rende Hall’s Hall Master Du Wei and the Guardian of the Myriad Library, Pang Xiu.
At this moment, like him, they stood in the sky with grave expressions, gazing up at the strange changes in the sky.
The number of Nascent Soul cultivators had also dwindled.
He only saw familiar faces like Wei Rong and Ma Shengxu.
As for the Golden Core cultivators, there seemed to be no significant change.
Just then, Bu Chan flew over rapidly, her expression exceedingly solemn:
"Senior Brother..."
Although Wang Ba’s heart was extremely heavy, he was not in a panic and immediately said with a deep voice:
"Junior Sister, go and wait at the third hall right now."
Bu Chan didn’t understand his reasoning, but she nodded and immediately flew towards the direction of the third hall.
Wang Ba then soared into the sky, landing beside the Master of Rende Hall, Du Wei.
With the Sect Master and other Immortal Ascension cultivators absent, the Hall Master of Rende Hall was the highest authority present.
"Hall Master Du."
He had no time for formalities and urgently said as he approached:
"The celestial phenomenon is upon us, I’m not sure if the Sect Master has made arrangements for a Tribulation Crossing Raft..."
His voice briefly paused, only to see Hall Master Du turning with reddened eyes.
"Hall Master Du..."
Wang Ba hesitated slightly.
A hint of sorrow appeared on Hall Master Du’s face, and he shook his head slightly:
"Master Xun... just passed away by fragmentation."
After a pause, he added:
"Han Yanzi was taken by Master Xun as well."
Wang Ba faltered, feeling a profound sense of loss.
"Fragmentation... no wonder the wordless jade stele has..."
After all, he had just reached the Nascent Soul stage, and his cultivation base was limited. He couldn’t, like an Immortal Ascension cultivator, comprehend thousands of miles with a single thought.
So, even though he saw the largest black hole above Fenglin Continent being filled, he had no idea what had happened.
But he then firmed his expression:
"Hall Master Du, this is not the time for sentimentality. With this great change upon us, and the Sect Master and others absent, only Hall Master Du can take charge. We must immediately gather our people and collect resources, whether we make a risky move or take a Tribulation Crossing Raft to flee this realm, we must be unruffled!"
Hearing Wang Ba’s words, Hall Master Du’s expression shook, and he spoke with a solemn tone:
"You are right, I lost composure. At a time like this, one should not behave childishly!" n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
He wasn’t usually so overwhelmed, but he had just witnessed Master Xun and Han Yanzi’s sacrifice, recalling his past misunderstandings with Master Xun, and the grievances Master Xun bore when he left, he couldn’t help but feel sorrow momentarily.
But since he was entrusted by the Sect Master with such a heavy responsibility, even to stay behind and protect the Sect, he certainly had the fortitude to make decisions.
Immediately, he made a loud announcement to the sect:
"All persons, regardless of Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, Qi Refining, and their mortal relatives, promptly head to the third hall!"
"Those of Qi Refining and mortal kin who lack strength, fellow cultivators of the same peak must not stand idle!"
"Associates of Diwu Hall, swiftly gather all resources of the twenty-five departments!"
"The Treasure Raft is vast enough to hold all of our sect members, so there is no need for panic. However, anyone who takes advantage of the chaos for personal gain, causes disturbance, or tries to profit from this emergency, will be executed without mercy!"
"I shall patrol here and oversee everything! You have been warned!"
Hearing the voice of Hall Master Du.
All the cultivators in the sect felt a jolt in their hearts.
But the sect had already practiced for such a scenario over the past few years, so there was no panic.
They quickly mobilized according to the contingency plans and began to gather various resources.
Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Lineage, Spirit Plant, spirit mine, Spirit Beast...
The only other Immortal Ascension cultivator, the Guardian of the Myriad Library, Pang Xiu, stood in the sky above Taiyin Mountain with a serious expression.
Behind him, a bald female Cultivator also looked up at the sky solemnly, but then suddenly murmured softly:
"There’s no need to collect resources anymore..."
Hearing the bald female cultivator’s words, Pang Xiu’s heart tightened, and he turned to look at her:
"What do you mean by this, Senior Jiang?"
The bald female Cultivator looked solemnly at the cracks and black holes scattered across the sky and said gravely:
"Patriarch Chongyuan had long foretold that at the moment of this realm’s last breath, the Boundary Sea Vortex would form perfectly. If the Tribulation Crossing Raft escaped the realm at that moment, it could quickly enter the vortex... But now that this realm has been prematurely shattered, and the heavenly order has begun to descend, leaving is futile. The Demon Sect’s ignorant lot just attempted to cross tribulation outside the realm, already attracting those things. If the Treasure Raft flies out, it will be like sheep entering the maw of a tiger."
"But if we do not leave, after the fall of the heavenly order, this realm’s Immortal Ascension cultivators will soon cease to exist... We should quickly call back Taoist Friend Shao and the others, take refuge in the Dungeon, and save as many lives as we can. Even if it means living ignobly, at least we can save our lives."
"It’s just a pity that the painstaking efforts of tens of thousands of years have all been for naught..."
