523: Goodbye Xiaoyaozi!

Inside the Imperial Study of the Great Xia Imperial Palace.

Chu Yun was seated at the head of the Imperial Study, while Wu Zhen, Yang Bu, and Blood Emperor stood below.

"How is the Heavenly Origin Earth Guard Array?"

After reading some memorials, Chu Yun looked at Wan Lei and asked.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Origin Earth Guard Array has been completed. The Formation now covers the entire Yuan Realm."

"The Formation core, as Your Majesty instructed, is located above the Thatched Cottage, and to be safe, Revered Master will personally oversee it," Wan Lei replied.

Chu Yun nodded, satisfied, and said, "Good."

"Now that the Formation is complete, everything is ready, all that's left is the final push."

Wu Zhen then said, "Uncle, I received a message a while ago that a flying Immortal ship has already departed from the Heavenly God Realm."

"The leader is Despair Avatar, one of Sovereign Ling Tian's seven Clones."

"In addition, more than ten Immortal King powerhouses are already on their way to the Yuan Realm."

"Estimating their normal speed, they should arrive within five days."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yun raised an eyebrow and said, after a long silence, "They've finally arrived..."

"Good!"

"Then, in five days, the entire Yuan Realm will collectively fight the Yuan Calamity with this Emperor!"

"This time, I will make sure that Ling Tian's Despair Avatar comes and never returns!"

Everyone in the Imperial Study collectively responded, "Yes! The Yuan Realm will surely win!"

...

Chu Yun then sent the news of Ling Tian's Clone's departure to the Thatched Cottage.

And also announced in the name of the Great Xia Dynasty that the Yuan Calamity would descend in five days at the latest!

He instructed all forces in the Divine Continent Pure Land to prepare to jointly resist the enemy!

...

Dark Abyss.

Dark Shadow Empress Su Xi and the other three Dark Monarchs were seated on the Dark Thrones, currently discussing the Yuan Calamity.

"Big Sister, Chu Emperor has sent word that the Yuan Calamity will arrive within five days."

"He wants us to be prepared, and at that time, to inject the power of our entire Dark Race into the Heavenly Origin Earth Guard Array to resist this calamity alongside the other beings of the Yuan Realm!" Nether Monarch said solemnly.

Su Xi's gaze was firm, "This is the moment for our Yuan Realm to completely rewrite history!"

"The Yuan Calamity will surely be destroyed! The Yuan Realm will surely win!"

...

Not only the Dark Race, but also the Old Ancestor of the Ancient Soul Nest, and Gu Jiujun and his wife from the Evil Infant Realm, after learning this news, had already gathered all their forces to prepare for the Yuan Calamity.

[A small narrative interjection here: After Chu Yun and the others returned, through their Immortal King Zenith-level methods, they successfully awakened Gu Jiujun's beloved.]

Misty Rain Tower also used its unique intelligence network to spread the news to every corner of the Yuan Realm, so that when all beings are united, the power of the Heavenly Origin Earth Guard Array can become even more impregnable!

...

Above the Thatched Cottage.

Chu Yun rushed over after receiving two pieces of good news.

The first good news was that Gu Ancestor had successfully awakened, and his Battle Intent had recovered. His strength was now the same as Curse, both at the Immortal King Zenith Third Realm.

Adding to that the several Immortal Gu he possessed, there were very few people in the same Realm who could defeat him.

The other good news was that his first Revered Master, Carefree Master, had returned!

Chu Yun arrived at Third Master's courtyard and saw that everyone was already seated, having waited for a long time.

"Yun'er, long time no see."

Carefree Master spoke first, a rare smile appearing on his face.

Chu Yun's eyes swept across the room. Besides his two teachers, Third Senior Brother, and First Master, only Curse and Gu Ancestor were seated there.

He also looked at Carefree Master and said with a smile, "Revered Master, I've been searching for you all these years."

"Knowing that you went outside, I was always worried."

"Now seeing that Revered Master is well and has had such a great Opportunity, Chu Yun is genuinely happy for Revered Master!"

Chu Yun expressed his true feelings. He could tell that Carefree Master's body contained a very terrifying power.

It was a power that even he, at this moment, felt somewhat apprehensive about.

And his cultivation was only at the Immortal King Realm Great Perfection.

But the terrifying power contained within his body gave him an extremely formidable ability to fight above his Realm.

Carefree Master smiled, "You're not bad either. Your growth speed is far beyond mine, as your Revered Master."

"Back then, when we parted, I never expected that you, who weren't even at the Supreme Realm, would now have become an Immortal King."

Third Master then interjected, "Alright, the Opportunities and Prodigies of you two, Revered Master and disciple, are rare in the world, so let's not keep praising each other here."

"Junior Brother, please sit."

"Everyone who should be here has arrived, it's about time we discussed the details of how to deal with the Yuan Calamity."

"Good." Chu Yun listened and sat next to Carefree Master.

"Third one, tell me, how do you plan to fight this battle?" Revered Master said at this time.

Third Master replied calmly, "To catch the thief, first catch the king; to break the army, first kill the commander."

"This time, Despair Avatar is coming. He possesses Heavenly Completion level Battle Intent, but because he is a Dominator's Clone, he wields the Dao of the Dominator, making him almost unrivaled in the same Realm."

"With the Heavenly Origin Earth Guard Array, we can at most defend, but we cannot kill him first."

"My idea is to first have Wu Sanye, Curse, and you, Gu Ancestor, cooperate with my teacher to use the Formation to completely divide the battlefield."

"After that, Junior Brother and Brother Xiaoyao will join forces to slay Despair Avatar."

"As soon as Despair Avatar is eliminated, the others will surely collapse."

"Thus, the battle can end!"

Listening to Third Master's words, everyone except Revered Master exchanged glances.

It wasn't because this method wouldn't work, but because it seemed a bit too simple, didn't it?

Wouldn't it be very easy for those people to see through it?

"Third Senior Brother, this method sounds a bit simple. I'm afraid it will be very easy for them to discern our true intentions, won't it?" First Master couldn't help but say.

Revered Master, however, spoke at this moment, "Sometimes, the simpler the method, the more practical it is."

"They will certainly know our objective, but the key is that even if they know what we want to do, they will be helpless and unable to reverse it."

"Third one, is that your goal?"

Third Master smiled slightly, "With Revered Master's and everyone's abilities, plus the Heavenly Origin Earth Guard Array, I believe we can greatly delay everyone else outside of Despair Avatar."

"As for Despair Avatar himself, Junior Brother, among everyone present, only the trump card in your hand and the power contained within Brother Xiaoyao's body can cause him fatal damage."

"Therefore, the candidates to kill him are only the two of you, and it must be the two of you!"

Chu Yun and Carefree Master looked at each other at this moment, both feeling the other's intense Battle Intent.

Chu Yun nodded, "Good, no problem!"

"Leave Despair Avatar to us, you can rest assured!"

Carefree Master placed his hands on his chest and calmly said, "Leave the leader to us. We, Revered Master and disciple, will definitely make him die in the Yuan Realm. Everyone can rest assured!"

After receiving the clear affirmative answer from Chu Yun and Carefree Master, Gu Ancestor also nodded and said, "Good! Then it's settled!"

"The other Immortal Kings of the Heavenly God Realm can be left to us, you can also rest assured!"
