171: Massive Advent

“Elder, he’s awake!”

As soon as the words fell, dozens of Cultivators appeared before your eyes.

They all looked incredibly nervous, and the leading old man immediately asked about the origin of the strange energy within you.

You were startled at first, then recounted the events concerning the monsters in the Land of Four Realms.

Upon hearing this, the leading old man sighed deeply, “It’s here. So they’ve already been here for so long.”

“How laughable that we were so ignorant, believing they would never reappear.”

You quickly inquired about the origin of those monsters.

But who would have thought, these Cultivators vanished the moment they received your message.

Only you and the young girl who had just called them remained in the entire room.

You tried to ask the girl about the monsters.

But she told you that she was just a Utility Disciple of the Qingxiao Sect and knew very little about it.

She had only vaguely heard the Elders mention that those monsters were extremely powerful, and whenever they appeared, they would bring a “plague” to the Eternal Immortal Domain!

“Plague?”

You murmured to yourself.

Although you were also afflicted with this black mist, it didn't feel like a “plague” to you; rather, it felt like an evolution.

Even though the black mist in your body had been suppressed by the Qingxiao Sect Elders, you could still clearly feel your body strengthening several times over.

One year later.

During this time, you were kept under house arrest in the Qingxiao Sect.

Your activity was restricted to this Immortal Cave, and from time to time, some Qingxiao Sect Elders would come to inquire about your condition.

You answered all of this truthfully.

You told them that your current condition was very good, and you had completely regained clear consciousness.

The Elders were quite satisfied with your condition, but they had no intention of letting you go.

You were also happy with this arrangement.

Because the Qingxiao Sect not only had abundant Spiritual Qi but was also incredibly safe; you could Cultivate here in peace.

The twenty-fourth millennium.

With the help of the abundant Spiritual Qi, your Cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, quickly reaching Immortal Venerable Eighth Law.

At the same time, the Qingxiao Sect Elders came to check on you less and less frequently.

And you could clearly sense the tension in their brows.

“This tension must be related to those monsters.”

“Something must have happened between them.”

A hint of doubt arose in your mind.

But what exactly happened between them, you had no intention of delving into.

Because what you needed to do now was to seize this excellent opportunity to frantically increase your strength.

The twenty-sixth millennium.

You successfully Broke Through to Immortal Venerable Ninth Law by utilizing the abundant Spiritual Qi in the Qingxiao Sect.

But at the same time, you also discovered that there were fewer and fewer Cultivators in the Qingxiao Sect!

When you first arrived, although you were confined to this Immortal Cave, you could scan the entire Qingxiao Sect with your Divine Sense.

At that time, the Qingxiao Sect had at least a million Disciples.

But now, let alone a million, there might not even be eight hundred thousand.

Although you didn't know where they went, you could be sure that something was going to happen to the Qingxiao Sect.

Your first thought was to escape.

But after a moment of hesitation, you found that your Crisis Awareness did not send a warning, and coupled with the fact that the outside world might not be as safe as the Qingxiao Sect, you ultimately chose to stay here and observe the situation.

Ten years passed in a flash.

On a dark and windy night, a strange and powerful aura suddenly emanated from afar, instantly sweeping across the entire Qingxiao Sect.

You didn't know what those auras represented, but every Qingxiao Sect Disciple who came into contact with it immediately began to convulse.

They all fell to the ground, struggling relentlessly.

Some quickly died in intense pain, but some survived!

You detected a hint of familiarity in the eyes of these survivors.

It was bloodlust and slaughter!

All the surviving Qingxiao Sect Disciples turned into the same state you once were in.

However, compared to you, they had not retained a single shred of sanity!

Their Souls were annihilated!

They instantly transformed from living Human Race into walking corpses.

The entire Qingxiao Sect immediately plunged into chaos, with countless Disciples who had become walking corpses beginning to destroy everything here.

The Immortal Cave where you Cultivated also suffered numerous attacks.

But even so, your Crisis Awareness still did not send you a warning.

This greatly alarmed you.

Because there was only one reason for this situation: among all the surrounding areas, the Qingxiao Sect was already considered the safest.

You used Celestial Travel to leave the Qingxiao Sect.

You found that all the surrounding areas now had similar situations to the Qingxiao Sect.

Countless regions had walking corpses identical to the Qingxiao Sect Disciples.

Some of the earlier infected had even begun to lose their human form, gradually evolving into tentacled monsters.

This discovery left you utterly shocked, but what was even more astounding was yet to come!

A red moon slowly rose in the sky.

Under its illumination, all the walking corpses began to grow even stronger.

And those Cultivators who had already started to evolve into tentacled monsters instantly completed their transformation, becoming full-fledged monsters!

“This… how can this be?!”

You continuously activated Celestial Travel, appearing in various parts of the Eternal Immortal Domain, only to find that everywhere was exactly as you had just seen.

After much wandering, you eventually returned to the Qingxiao Sect.

You examined the fates of others here.

You found that your own fate was still full of variables, while the many Elders you had once seen in the Qingxiao Sect had become unobservable!

They were all dead!

You knew how powerful these people were; among them, even the weakest were Immortal Venerables of the Seventh or even Eight Law.

But even a group of such beings was easily slaughtered in their clashes with those monsters!

Everything happening before your eyes filled your heart with a sense of gloom.

But you knew that relying on yourself alone could not change anything, so you ultimately had no choice but to “nervously” Cultivate in the Qingxiao Sect.

One year later.

During this time, the monsters in the Qingxiao Sect had already withdrawn.

And you had also gathered a large amount of Cultivation resources in the Qingxiao Sect.

But just as you thought you could Cultivate here in peace, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from the outside world.

It was that golden coffin!
