The drastic changes in Western Region shocked the world
No one would have thought that the Fo Sect would lay out such a plan and have such courage to go through with it.
Hundreds and millions of years of accumulation all burned out in one go, but it completely destroyed the five devil sects. However, what was even more unexpected was that this was only the beginning of a great catastrophe.
Xi Yao stayed back at Chuyang Peak.
To put it in her own words: there would not be a difference whether she was there or not in such a big catastrophe. She might as well stay there and continue training and improving her cultivation in preparation for the future.
“Foreign devils induced catastrophe. Simply thinking about this brings chills to the core of my heart!” Xi Yao was still unable to calm herself down. She looked over to Jiang Ming and asked, “Will you participate in this?”
Zi Linglong looked over at Jiang Ming as well, waiting for an answer.
Jiang Ming was already lying on the rattan chair with his eyes still gazing at the far west. He gently shook his head and muttered, “It’s just like what you’ve said. There’s not much of a difference whether I’m there or not. If I’m there, the catastrophe will take place; yet without my presence, the catastrophe
will still take place.
“Twill naturally take action if these foreign devils come over to Eastern Region, into Qing Province. As for the others? Let’s just see what happens. After all, there are so many Sacred Lands there that have been plundering the world’s wealth. It’s high time they give their contribution.”
“What you said makes sense, I guess!” Xi Yao smiled wryly.
At that very moment, the sound of the bell echoed.
The 81 instances of the might bell evoked the power of order, spreading through the entire world.
“This is the Immortal Bell!” Jiang Ming judged immediately, as his face turned solemn, “The ringing came from Zhong Province.”
“The Zhong Province’s Immortal Bell?” Xi Yao’s eyes flickered as she continued. “I remember there was a legend that said, once the world faces a great catastrophe, the Tianyuan School will ring the bell to warn the world of what had happened. The Tianyuan School might have noticed the catastrophe
already. After all, it is the oldest force still existing with the best deduction Dao and supervision methods.”
“When the bell rings, it should also mean to gather the various Sacred Lands, right?” Linglong asked.
“It should!” Xi Yao kept silent after she answered.
The mountain wind howled, repeating yesterday’s monotony.
Jiang Ming simply took out a book and read in silence. He did not care much about the drastic changes in Western Region or the invasion of the foreign devils.
The world was in turmoil, but hadn’t it been like this for hundreds of millions of years?
His biggest concern now was that the 10-year duration was approaching.
He didn’t know what benefits he would be reaping, but it was definitely worth looking forward to.
There were also the beneficiaries of the Reincarnation Hall, and he wondered if they would descend.
His inner world was evolving rapidly, but he still needed a long time before it was complete.
Linglong was quietly squatting beside Jiang Ming, whereas Xi Yao gazed afar with a slight frown.
‘When the night fell, the great Buddha from the west disappeared, and nothing happened after.
Jiang Ming closed the book and stood up to ask, “Girl, what do you think is the difference whether I involve myself with the catastrophe?”
Linglong was stunned at first but quickly understood what he meant. She couldn’t help smiling and said, “Senior Brother, how long has this world existed? 10,000 years, 100,000 years, 10,000,000 years, 100,000,000 years? How many disasters have occurred during this period? The world still came
through as it is.”
“But it’s different this time. After all, this is a foreign devils’ induced catastrophe.”
“What about that year? When the Sky Devil Sect emerged, wasn’t that an invasion by foreign devils? And the result? The world continues as it is to this day. Those ancient Sacred Lands surely know the origin of the devil sects. Since they knew about it all along, why were they still not eradicated? Well, 1
think they have the confidence for it. What confidence, you might ask? That would be the generations and generations of ancestors who have ascended into the higher realms! If the foreign devils really descend into our world, how can the Immortal Spirits behind the Sacred Lands ignore them?”
“Can the Sacred Lands contact those Immortal Spirits that have already ascended?”
“This is just my guess. Who knows? Senior Brother, the world will not be changed by one person.”
No, it was about changing the tide.
“Alas, I still don’t possess a normal perspective and calm heart!” Jiang Ming sighed.
During the Great Eastern War, whether it was because of his weakness or maybe because of a lack of intuitive feeling toward it, Jiang Ming had not participated in the ordeal.
But after seeing all the misery that had happened in Eastern Region, his heart had been restless, surging with great anger. It was only then that he had wiped out the entire Yinmo Sect overnight.
“TIl go prepare for dinner!” Jiang Ming took kitchen tools and started operating.
“Senior Brother, I’ll help you! Linglong walked over as well.
“Til help out as well.” Xi Yao didn’t want to be idle either.
Right now, being idle was kind of like torture.
At the Qingyun Sect.
“The Holy Lord of Riyue Sect just sent over the news, informing us about the foreign devils’ invasion. I didn’t dare to believe it, but how long has it been since the warning bell rang!” Holy Lord Ming Yuzi sighed. “You won’t even have to guess to know. The devil sects were going to be destroyed, so they
evoked their last resort, risking everything to bring over devils from foreign realms to drag the living down with them. What the Fo Sect did was too extreme, leaving no chances to the devil sects. That led to this situation.”
“Yes, the Fo Sect was too extreme. Did they really want the devil sects’ wealth, or did they discover something?” Qing Fengzi frowned and continued. “Whatever it is, the great catastrophe is coming, and we should just be prepared.”
Ming Yuzi smiled bitterly as he spoke. “It has not been long since the Great Eastern War ended, and the sect suffered severe damage. If there’s another devil-induced catastrophe like this befalling us, can we still resist them? We don’t even know where these foreign devils descended from.”
“Just wait. I’ll go over to the Tianyuan school for a bit,” Qing Fengzi muttered as he left the scene.
Ming Yuzi started to gather all the disciples who were out in the world to get into a defensive state.
‘The 18th Prince, who had come over to the Qingyun Sect as a guest, was in a daze.
He originally wanted to cause trouble for the Jiuyang Sect and had almost hit the rocks himself. Before he could even take the next step, he overheard the bell ringing from the Tianyuan School and also got news about the impending devil catastrophe.
“Let’s return!” Cang Yun advised, “Even if we don’t know what is happening, through the looks of the Qingyun Sect’s reaction and also the calling by the great dynasty, it seems to be an indication that it is a big problem this time around. It’s only safer if we return.”
“Do I really need to go back in despair?” Zhou Tian’s face was filled with unwillingness. “Once I go back, I will still be suppressed and unknown to anyone. Can I only continue watching them dance around like that? I cannot accept this! We are not going back this time! This great catastrophe also means
great encounters!”
Cang Yun frowned and asked, “What can we use to get through this catastrophe? What can we use to get great encounters?”
“We have the Sacred Lands to deal with this great catastrophe. As for encounters? Well, this great catastrophe is our chance to take control and take over domains and manage our own forces!” Zhou Tian couldn’t help showing his joy as he thought of the benefits he could reap.
Cang Yun looked at the 18th Prince as if he was looking at an idiot.
‘To hell with great encounters! This is courting death! If I cannot persuade him then I’m not serving anymore! he cursed in his heart.

In the lands of the extreme north, the whole area was shrouded by a devilish soldier, not allowing any aura from leaking into the outside worlds.
One by one, the devils got out of the portal, crowded together, waiting for the order to go out into the human world to kill and devour flesh and blood.
Inacertain space, there stood a palace that looked atmospheric and grand. It had been floating and skinning through the endless chaotic torrent for who knew how many billion years.
There were many creatures of different skin color and race in the main hall of one of the levels in the palace, either chatting or fighting around.
suddenly, an empowering voice rang through the entire main hall.
“Attention to all the beneficiaries! A B-grade public mission about exploring a sect of a perfect planar world is now being released. Once the mission is accepted, you will have to complete at least 80% exploration of the sect, or else you will not be allowed to forcefully return here. After accepting the
mission, we will then impart detailed information about the mission.
“Reminder: The Sky Dragon Team and Black Tiger Team have been wiped out one after another.
“Tips: A maximum of 10 teams are allowed to go..”
