458: Chapter 458 All-Out War is Coming!

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

It had already been over half a month since the Hunting Assembly ended.

Currently, the general populace of the Supreme Seat Domain still held considerable interest in it.

However, within organizations like the Cosmic Cloud Company and the Lingxu Company, the event's details had long been tossed to the back of their minds.

There was no other way.

Everyone was busy cultivating and growing stronger.

Who had time to pay attention to such things?

Then, on this day.

Tai Fang received a summons early in the morning, called to the core region.

Actually, it wasn't just him.

Within the headquarters, all those with strength at the Immortal Level or above had been summoned to a meeting on a star in the core region.

"Such a sudden, grand assembly, gathering all of us. What major event has occurred?"

"Unclear, but I know the Venerables have gone as well."

"Hiss! Could it be related to the Cosmic Abyss?"

...

The Immortals were all discussing and speculating about what had happened.

Tai Fang, mingling among them, was equally clueless.

And in the blink of an eye,

three days passed.

The entire assembly lasted a full three days.

When it finally adjourned, nearly everyone's faces were etched with gravity, each remaining silent.

Tai Fang was no exception.

It wasn't until he returned to the training zone and gathered with a few close friends that he finally spoke.

"Who would have thought it would really begin. Something has happened in the Cosmic Abyss. The all-out war is coming." Tai Fang's eyes were filled with solemnity.

"It was bound to come sooner or later, just not this soon. But it's not a big problem. Full-scale war should still take some time. What we have now is just the prelude, the curtain being fully drawn."

"Indeed. Honestly, the external threat is manageable. The main worry is internal strife. If the attitudes of those forbidden lands remain ambiguous for too long, problems are likely to arise."

"During the meeting just now, the Venerable seemed to hint subtly that the Supreme Council might have the idea of uniting to eradicate all forbidden lands. Hard to say if it's true or not."

"Regardless, those matters don't concern us. What we need to do is manage this new generation of strength well."

"There's not much management left to do. They'll probably be heading to the Cosmic Abyss soon enough."

His few friends also spoke up. Although their words sounded carefree, their faces betrayed their worry.

Listening to his friends' discussion, Tai Fang took a swig of strong liquor.

The content of the three-day meeting had been immense.

And his assigned responsibility was to ensure, within the remaining six months, that the younger generation in the training zone grew as much as possible.

Six months later.

The state of the war would be announced to the entire universe.

At that time, the Supreme Seat Domain would host two major tiered selections.

One targeted the younger generation, gathering all the youth of the Supreme Seat Domain, dividing them into three echelons. They would then be sent to different sectors of the Cosmic Abyss battlefield to face the prodigies of the Alien Universe and seize the opportunities meant for their generation.

The other targeted the Realm Master Level, screening for the strongest batch of Realm Masters to be dispatched to designated battlefield positions.

As for their generation, the older generation with strength at the Immortal Level and above, naturally, no screening was needed. The Supreme Council would arrange lists, sending them to the front lines of the battlefield in batches!

Tai Fang himself didn't mind much. He had already been to the battlefield when he was part of the younger generation's camp.

Of course, compared to the current situation, his experience back then was merely small-scale skirmishes. But even those skirmishes had been brutally fierce.

Many companions had died on that battlefield, never to return.

He himself wasn't afraid of dying in battle.

But it was truly a pity for this current batch of seedlings.

"Six months, what can that even accomplish?" Thinking deeply, Tai Fang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Six months was far too short!

The training process had only just begun its first step.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least five years for this batch of seedlings to fully mature.

Yet now it was compressed to six months.

And in reality, they might not even get a full six months of instruction. These seedlings mostly came from various major factions. In all likelihood, they would return to their clans early for cultivation.

"The boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridgehead. Let's take it one step at a time," a friend said slowly.

After these words were spoken, everyone present nodded. Then, without another word, they all fell into silence.

...

Now, regarding Li Fan.

Over half a month had passed.

Now, Liu Xuan, also known as Puyun the Immortal, had reached the Star Shattering Rank.

During this period,

Li Fan had personally witnessed Puyun the Immortal's journey from a useless talent, relying on an indomitable will to barely pass the entrance exams for the Martial Arts University, then surviving numerous perils through various strokes of luck and his own abilities, and further, making a name for himself within the Martial Arts University.

Then, advancing all the way, crushing various prodigies to become the top talent on his star, and now, enrolling in a major cosmic sect, where he also successfully outshone his peers, preparing to advance to an even higher stage.

Throughout the entire process,

Puyun the Immortal's path could be described as both arduous and smooth.

Especially the smooth part.

Li Fan saw quite a bit of his own shadow in it.

However, Puyun the Immortal's journey wasn't as smooth as his own.

But that was normal.

After all, Puyun the Immortal didn't have a cheat like his, and his luck seemed inferior as well.

But that wasn't important.

What was important was,

as Li Fan observed the journey,

Puyun the Immortal showed absolutely no comprehension related to the Law of Time!

Immediately after,

Li Fan started fast-forwarding.

Yet, even when Puyun the Immortal reached the Realm Master Level, he possessed no skills whatsoever related to the Law of Time.

This left Li Fan somewhat baffled.

Moreover, there was another issue.

This Puyun the Immortal, after stepping into the Realm Master Level, seemed to have become rather ordinary.

Compared to other Realm Master Level existences in the universe, there was almost nothing remarkable about him.

"Could it be that my perception was wrong?"

Li Fan was already beginning to suspect if something had gone awry.

But after multiple checks, Li Fan found no mistake.

"Perhaps there's some major turning point later?"

Li Fan took a deep breath, gathering his patience once more.

Since he had already started the experience and couldn't interrupt it within a month, he could only continue watching. Perhaps the main event was yet to come.
