132: Chapter 132 Bai Shu Arrives
In the main hall of Laojun Temple.
Bai Zhu and Xiang Dahai were sitting in their respective seats.
Compared to Bai Zhu's relaxed demeanor, Xiang Dahai was somewhat restless.
"The current situation is like this: it's basically reaching a critical point. If we continue to let this war expand, I'm afraid it will soon affect the Xiantian Experts. Once Xiantian Experts enter the fray, the entire world will completely spiral out of control!"
Xiang Dahai said in a heavy tone.
As he finished speaking.
Bai Zhu's brows furrowed slightly: "I didn't expect the situation to have reached this point!"
All these years, he had been indifferent to worldly affairs, focusing wholeheartedly on his Cultivate.
Before his seclusion, society was developing stably and was peaceful; there was not the slightest possibility of turmoil.
But he hadn't expected that just as his seclusion ended, he would discover the world was on the brink of losing control.
"Why did it develop to this point? Why wasn't the situation controlled at the beginning?!"
Bai Zhu asked Xiang Dahai, puzzled.
Conventionally speaking, the state's control over the global situation should be very strong. When a local area goes out of control, generally speaking, the state would intervene.
It shouldn't have allowed the situation to reach this point!
Hearing Bai Zhu's doubts, Xiang Dahai shook his head with a bitter smile: "This is a long story!"
He sighed and said: "Do you remember the Five Divine Beasts incident from twenty years ago?!"
Upon hearing this.
Bai Zhu gave him a surprised look.
How did this get dragged into it!?
Wasn't that just Ji Yebai's Divine Will?!
Releasing the Divine Will separately, once the Divine Will grows to a certain point, it will return to the main body, reaching the stage of Divine Will growth.
His own seclusion and Cultivate, and even his Breakthrough, were all influenced by this line of thinking.
But what does this have to do with world turmoil?!
"Twenty years ago, the phantoms of the Five Divine Beasts streaked across the sky and dissipated in different places, causing tension among countries around the world!"
"Afterwards, people successively discovered five types of giant beasts, and these five types of giant beasts were constantly evolving towards the Five Divine Beasts."
Xiang Dahai paused and said: "Moreover, the flesh and blood of these giant beasts can extend lifespan and increase Cultivate level. This caused countries to boil over, and they jointly formed the Joint Forces to start hunting the giant beasts!"
Hearing this, Bai Zhu's expression became strange.
Hunting?!
Xiang Dahai didn't notice this, sighed softly, and continued: "More than twenty years ago, the Joint Forces killed the last giant beast, but unexpectedly, this giant beast appeared again three years ago, and it even had a bunch of followers!"
He raised his head, his gaze heavy; "The giant beast's flesh and blood can extend lifespan and increase Cultivate level. Currently, more than half of the hundred Xiantian Experts in the world are related to that giant beast's flesh and blood. Because of this, human greed was incited, which led to this war."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Bai Zhu's expression changed slightly: "You mean, there is still one giant beast alive!?"
His voice was full of surprise.
Just hearing Xiang Dahai's description, Bai Zhu basically understood the path of Ji Yebai's Breakthrough.
Using the Divine Will to occupy the animal bodies, then guiding them to evolve; on one hand, exploring the evolution of life within them, and on the other hand, strengthening the Divine Will during the evolution process.
From his current perspective, this path was definitely the correct one.
However, it had been more than twenty years, and the Divine Will had not been recovered. This wasn't right!
Bai Zhu stood up, his emotions fluctuating.
He felt that Ji Yebai's Cultivate had been ruined by these people!
No, he had to go there.
After thinking for a moment, he said; "Director Xiang, let's do this. I will set off tomorrow and go there!"
Upon hearing this.
Xiang Dahai stood up instantly, his mouth splitting into a grin.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"With you there, this war can definitely be quelled!"
Early the next morning, Bai Zhu set off.
A special plane was arranged to take him there.
Originally, he wanted to go by himself, but thinking that the situation hadn't reached that point, he decided to just let the plane take him.
The current planes were also extremely fast.
Along the way, Bai Zhu kept browsing the news of the last twenty years, constantly experiencing the changes of these twenty years.
When he saw the application of space technology, he nodded silently.
Just like that, he became familiar with the changes of the past twenty years and drew closer to Elijah.
...
Elijah.
In the dark of night.
Beneath the ruins, the sound of artillery fire constantly rang out.
The fighting always seemed particularly tragic at night.
A large number of houses were shattered.
The Spiritual Qi in the sky trembled due to the intense battle.
Cracks on the ground continued to spread.
Every few meters, there was a crater.
Saber wounds and sword wounds were everywhere.
Looking at the destructive power alone.
The destruction caused by high-level Martial Artists was no less than the power of heavy artillery.
Fighting was happening every moment.
It had even spread out of Elijah, and surrounding countries had also started to experience war.
Blood splattered, and heads rolled.
Especially in the country of Elijah.
It was already ruined.
Within these three years, the ordinary people who could run had all run away, and those who hadn't had already become ghosts of injustice.
"Take my saber strike!!!"
A roar.
The Martial Artist holding a long saber slashed out with a roar.
Boom!
The sound of the air bursting made the opponent opposite him startle.
Without hesitation.
He suddenly erupted with Internal Energy, and the surging Internal Energy spread throughout his body.
An indestructible Spiritual Qi shield enveloped his body.
Bang!
The long saber, filled with Saber Qi, slashed fiercely against the Spiritual Qi shield.
The long saber vibrated violently, and a tremendous force erupted from the Spiritual Qi shield. The rebound force directly made his hands tremble, and his hand holding the long saber was deflected.
Boom!
Saber Qi crisscrossed.
All directions suddenly exploded.
The remaining concrete ground was hit one after another, turning directly into powder and splashing everywhere.
Even the ruins of the houses nearby were once again shattered by the Saber Qi.
Huff! Huff!
Both of them were panting heavily.
Even the powerful Aura around their bodies dropped.
The two were similar in strength, both at the First-class Late Stage.
Mutual tempering made their combat techniques increasingly sophisticated.
Martial Artist, Martial Artist, everything cannot escape the word "struggle."
As the war progressed.
In fact, the starting point for many Martial Artists was no longer limited to the original two groups of people.
Many people came here just to experience the fighting.
Only battles that were evenly matched, where life and death were risked, could ignite a flash of inspiration to find a higher path of Dao.
"You are very strong!"
The Martial Artist holding the long saber laughed.
The feeling of dancing on the tip of a blade was something he, as a Martial Artist, particularly enjoyed.
"You aren't bad either!"
His opponent also had bright eyes, emitting a divine glow.
For a moment, a feeling of mutual appreciation appeared between the two.
Both were First-Class Martial Artists at the Late Stage.
And their Divine Will was formidable.
In the brief exchange just now, both simultaneously erupted with the strength of the First-class Peak.
Although it was very brief.
But the fact that their combat power exceeded their own Cultivate level was real.
Those who could achieve this were not to be underestimated.
Regardless, both could be called Geniuses.
"I still have the Phoenix mark that I haven't used. I wonder if you have any other means?!"
The Martial Artist holding the long saber licked his lips and smiled, showing off his tattoo.
The person opposite saw this scene, his eyes narrowed, and he fell silent instantly.
This made the long-saber Martial Artist laugh even more happily.
"I like the look of you. How about it? Do you want to come with me!?"
The Phoenix mark could allow a person to erupt again.
He himself could briefly erupt with First-class Peak strength, and with the Phoenix mark, he could be said to definitely possess First-class Peak combat power.
Although the Phoenix mark didn't last long.
But in a Martial Artist's fight, what they fight for is just a split second.
In that split second, it was enough to attack dozens, or even hundreds of times.
Enough to decide the outcome of the battle.
The scene fell into silence.
Until a long time later, a figure silently followed the long-saber Martial Artist and left.
The two walked all the way into the gathering place.
Before he could even take the person to report in, he heard a piece of news.
He stood frozen on the spot.
What?!
Bai Zhu is coming!?
The war is going to end?!
