269: Improve your strength, the catastrophe is coming!

As everyone went into seclusion, your gaze fell upon Ye Chuxue’s figure, and you couldn't help but frown.

You had always been unsure of what to do about Ye Chuxue's situation.

After your return, you could clearly sense Ye Chuxue's changes.

You noticed that Ye Chuxue's demeanor had become colder, and she spoke less.

You remembered how lively Ye Chuxue was when you first met her in Azure Cloud Sect; she was like a completely different person now.

“Lord of Taiyin…”

You didn't know whether Ye Chuxue would eventually be taken over by the Lord of Taiyin through Possession, or if she had inherited the Lord of Taiyin's will and thus became cold.

Or even, in the near future, Ye Chuxue's will would merge with that of the Lord of Taiyin, making her both Ye Chuxue and the Lord of Taiyin.

Unable to find the answer yourself, you sought out Xuanyuan Tianji.

You asked Xuanyuan Tianji about Ye Chuxue's situation.

After hearing your question, she remained silent for a long time.

“Alas!”

“I'm not clear about Ye Chuxue's situation either!”

“Perhaps… after Ye Chuxue accepted the Lord of Taiyin's Legacy, she became the Lord of Taiyin, or it could be said that the Lord of Taiyin is Ye Chuxue.”

Xuanyuan Tianji's words only made you more confused.

In desperation, you could only leave the problem to time.

This was because Xuanyuan Tianji told you that Ye Chuxue's condition was irreversible and unchangeable; everything depended on her.

Time flew by, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.

The tenth year!

All of you gathered on a Barren Island in the Endless Sea.

You were waiting for the Great Tribulation of the World to arrive.

“Little Junior Brother, you said the Great Tribulation of the World would eliminate all Undergoing Tribulation powerhouses in Canglan Realm, so what about us?”

At the same time, Zhuge Qing, Jiang Yang, Ye Chuxue, and others all looked at you.

After these five years of Cultivation, Zhuge Qing, Zi You, and Ye Chuxue had all Breakthrough to the Celestial Venerable Realm.

The Realms of the others had basically all Breakthrough the Undergoing Tribulation Lower Three Realms; even Zhou Lingxi, with the lowest Cultivation, had now Breakthrough to the Great Ascension Realm Late Stage.

“Don't worry, Great Senior Sister, I have a plan!”

You gave everyone a confident smile, as if everything was within your grasp.

Xuanyuan Tianji knew your capabilities, so she naturally understood what you would do.

Your plan was to, once the Great Tribulation of the World arrived, place everyone into the Void Realm, then use Great Void Dragon Travel to go to the Heavenly Dao Space, or perhaps the Canglan Immortal Domain.

However, you were unsure of the situation in the Canglan Immortal Domain during the Great Tribulation of the World, so for safety, you still planned to go to the Heavenly Dao Space.

You knew very well that you could hide from this great tribulation in the Heavenly Dao Space.

Initially, Chen Shu didn't understand why the Great Tribulation of the World targeted Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators; she even suggested suppressing one's Realm to the Mahayana Realm as a solution.

However, this idea was immediately rejected by you as soon as it was voiced.

You told Chen Shu that this method was completely unfeasible, as behind the Great Tribulation of the World were terrifying existences at least above the Immortal Lord Realm.

On the Barren Island, all of you stared intently at the Void Realm.

Gradually, a crack silently appeared.

“It's here!”

The next second, you opened the Void Realm.

You told everyone to enter your Void Realm.

Xuanyuan Tianji entered without a word, followed by Chen Shu.

The others exchanged glances and also walked into the Void Realm.

Only after you were the sole person left on the Barren Island did you close the Void Realm.

At this moment, the crack in the sky grew larger and larger, and from within the bottomless black hole, it seemed as if a large hand could reach out at any moment.

You sneered, then performed Great Void Dragon Travel.

Swish!

Your figure vanished from the Barren Island.

When you opened your eyes, you had already appeared in the Heavenly Dao Space.

Since the Heavenly Dao Space was within the Canglan Realm, you arrived there almost instantly.

Upon entering the Heavenly Dao Space, you saw the familiar black vines; you knew these black vines were the tentacles of the Guichong Ancestor.

This time, you stayed put and did not choose to go deeper.

You didn't want to deal with the Guichong Ancestor for now.

You planned to resolve the issues with the Guichong Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao after the matters in the Canglan Realm were settled.

And your decision not to deal with the Weird Insects immediately after returning was also based on your own considerations.

You didn't know if, after annihilating the Weird Insects, the Weird Immortal of the Great Tribulation of the World would discover that the Canglan Realm had no Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators, and if that would cause any unforeseen changes.

At that time, if the Weird Immortal, in a fit of rage, were to find you all at any cost, it would be a loss.

Instead of taking the risk to annihilate the Weird Insects, you preferred to use this time for the Cultivators of the Sword Pavilion to Cultivate.

This way, you could not only avoid unnecessary risks but also collectively raise everyone's strength.

Suddenly, Zi You's voice came to your mind.

Zi You told you that she really wanted to see the Heavenly Dao Space and asked you to let her out.

You hesitated for a moment, but ultimately released everyone.

You told everyone not to leave your line of sight.

You informed everyone that what they saw were the tentacles of the Guichong Ancestor, and this place was very dangerous.

“Even the Heavenly Venerate Realm is no match for the Guichong Ancestor!”

You spoke these words with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Zi You and the others gasped.

You weren't trying to scare them; you had encountered the Guichong Ancestor before and knew very well that the strength of the Heavenly Dao and the Guichong Ancestor was absolutely unrivaled below the Immortal Realm, and might even have reached the Immortal Realm.

However, you were unsure if you could exert Immortal Realm power within the Heavenly Dao Space.

You worried that if you were to restore your Realm to the Immortal Realm, you would immediately be repelled, or even annihilated, by the power of the rules.

Listening to your words, everyone simply scanned their surroundings with their eyes, curious as they observed the Heavenly Dao Space for the first time.

At this moment, although the Guichong Ancestor had not made a move, your mind remained highly vigilant.

You were on guard against a sudden attack from the Guichong Ancestor.

Three days passed quickly!

The good news was that the Guichong Ancestor had not attacked you all during these three days.

You didn't know if it was because there were many of you, or because it sensed your formidable strength and thus didn't act, but none of that mattered anymore.

You led everyone back to the Canglan Realm.

Upon returning to the Canglan Realm, everything returned to peace.

The bottomless black hole in the sky had long vanished, as if it had never been there.

“Begin the operation!”
