Chapter 2865 Good Luck
Just as the two powerful beings were conversing, within the Star Realm, outside the gate of the Ruthless Path, the two True Venerables, Riding Dog and She Niu, were suspended in the air.
The former looked solemn. "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Wu'an for coming to our aid in time. It's truly... a chaotic mess."
"You're too kind," She Niu Zhenzun sighed softly. "I can't contribute much to this important matter; I can only do some minor tasks."
Although he narrowly escaped the last test outside the boundary, he still suffered considerable damage.
To this day, he has not recovered, and he has only participated in many subsequent matters in a separate capacity while his main body is resting.
The Heaven-Slaying Campaign is about to officially begin, and he is destined not to be able to participate fully, so he will help maintain the security of the realm.
This time, a large-scale disturbance by celestial demons has occurred in the area belonging to the Ruthless Path.
As a great world, Lianxing only had a small portion of its territory containing a few scattered celestial demons and demonic energy before the cataclysmic event.
Just like in the current Houde Realm, the Heavenly Demons have not been completely eradicated. There are many reasons for this, but in short, they do not affect the overall situation.
After the cataclysmic event, the Heavenly Demons and demonic energy gradually grew in scale across the stars.
When a world is about to perish, unusual phenomena will inevitably occur; this is a very natural phenomenon.
Even the Star Cultivators began to hunt down the Heavenly Demons everywhere, but the True Venerables rarely went out of their way to deal with them.
Firstly, the True Lords had more important matters to attend to—trying to resist the collapse of the heavens in various ways.
Secondly, the powerful figures believed that giving lower-level cultivators something to do could divert their attention while they were training.
Trouble will inevitably arise from nothing. Busy dealing with the Heavenly Demon, one naturally has no time to spare for anything else.
It sounds a bit cold-blooded, but it's better than chaos erupting everywhere.
Now, whether it's due to the Great Dao's response or something else, the Heavenly Demons are causing widespread chaos within the Ruthless Dao region.
The Heavenly Demon's limit is the ability to leave the body, but it can leave the body multiple times. The Ruthless Path, however, is somewhat stretched thin due to the lack of a guardian beast.
Riding Dog True Venerable was too busy, so he invited She Niu True Venerable to come and help—mainly because this person was unable to participate in the final action.
The Five An True Venerable was a little doubtful. "Why can't I find any clues in the divination... Could someone be causing trouble?"
"The root cause is the collapse of the heavens, so it's normal that the divination cannot pinpoint the exact cause," the True Venerable Riding the Ox said calmly. "If there's any trouble... who would dare?"
Their backgrounds are beyond calculation, and their cultivation levels must be far beyond those of a True Venerable. He doesn't believe any True Lord would dare to wade into such muddy waters.
"What if they intend to offer it as a sacrifice?" She Niu Zhen Zun's expression turned grave. "An entire great world."
"What kind of karmic debt would that be?" True Venerable Riding the Ox was somewhat incredulous. "What True Lord would dare to covet such a thing?"
Those who dare to act in this way are provoking more than just the Star Realm.
If the attempt to save the world fails, the karmic consequences involving the dozen or so True Lords who participated or watched will be immense... even the Mystic Venerable might not be able to withstand them.
"Should we report this to the Great Lords?" Wu An Zhenzun was still a little hesitant.
"The Great Lords... already have so many things to deal with," the Dog-Riding True Venerable hesitated, "Should we add to their troubles?"
"It's always our duty to remind you," Wu An Zhen Zun said, his expression changing slightly halfway through his sentence.
The next moment, he disappeared. "There's also a demonic disturbance in my area... I'd appreciate it if you could report it to me."
Upon hearing this, True Venerable Riding a Dog paused for a moment, and a phantom image emerged from his body and vanished instantly.
"Sigh, everyone's busy with their own lives..."
He wasn't the only one reporting to the True Lords; the chaos caused by the Heavenly Demons had become widespread throughout the entire realm.
The True Lords were quite wary of this, but after divination, they found that there was no external cause.
Among these True Lords, several are skilled in divination. I believe that even if the Mysterious Venerable were to tamper with things, it would be impossible for him to leave no clues behind.
In addition, there were some other anomalies, all of which were reported to the True Lord.
For example, a certain region is plagued by natural disasters, and then a powerful demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage suddenly appears.
There were originally demons in Lianxing, and the cultivators did not exterminate them all—besides training the younger generation, they could also obtain some resources.
However, the human race has absolutely zero tolerance for demons who have transcended the physical body.
Demons with sufficient intelligence will actively seek opportunities when they reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, rather than courting death in Lianxing.
This great demon, which had been dormant for an unknown period of time, suddenly emerged and slaughtered the human race.
When True Monarch Double Wings heard about this, he had some other thoughts, but True Monarch Seven Leaves arrived instantly and killed him.
His stance was clear: "It would be one thing if it were any other time, but to appear now and slaughter humans..."
Those who cultivate to the level of a True Monarch are unlikely to harbor much prejudice against other races—everything in nature has its own reason for being created.
Even the senior Heng of Haoran gave Pili freedom, letting her fend for herself.
However, slaughtering humans crosses the line, especially when it happens at a time when the world is on the verge of collapse.
Upon hearing this, Jingzu glanced at him and said, "Perhaps it's an object meant to bring about a calamity. Fellow Daoist, you should at least consult the oracle first..."
In the matter of saving the world from collapse, Qi Ye was not even a peripheral figure; at most, he could only be said to have some involvement, and his karmic connection was not as deep as that of Jing Zu.
However, if this great demon was truly born to face calamity, then his karma is no small matter.
Those who enter into this tribulation will encounter extraordinary hardships.
Even if he is not as good as the two core True Lords—the Old Woman and Bo Ping, he is far superior to other True Lords, such as Tai Yuan Hai and Wen Shi.
“Then let’s face the calamity,” True Lord Seven Leaves replied nonchalantly. “What calamity do I have to fear… Never mind, I won’t say anything more!”
He certainly doesn't regret what he did, but there are some things that are indeed inappropriate to say carelessly.
In short, as time goes on, various problems and irregularities are increasing.
As a result, most of the Star-level True Venerables joined the firefighting efforts.
On this day, the Thousand True Venerables went to quell the demonic calamity.
Facing two Nascent Soul Demons, she released three clones, which, together with her main body, made it a two-against-one situation.
The Heavenly Demon is easy to defeat but difficult to kill, and she is fighting so desperately because she wants to do everything she can to keep him here.
With her strength, it would be a bit of a stretch to completely annihilate two Nascent Soul cultivators at the same time.
But she had no intention of asking for help; she simply informed others—everyone has their difficulties, and what she wanted to do was try not to cause trouble for others.
On the third day of the battle, just as the two beings that had left their bodies were about to be killed, suddenly, a great surge of demonic energy arose!
Before long, another Nascent Soul Demon burst out from the demonic energy, and the battle situation immediately changed.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Nascent Soul Heavenly Demons rushed towards her!
Generally speaking, Nascent Soul Heavenly Demons dare not attack Out-of-Body True Venerables—the intelligence of Heavenly Demons is no less than that of cultivators.
Faced with this sudden change, Qianqian Zhenzun had no choice but to adjust his tactics.
She then created four more clones, first attempting to trap the opponent, and then sending a distress signal to She Niu Zhen Zun.
With a flash, the Five Peace True Venerable appeared; it was an avatar.
As he made his move, he calmly said, "Let's hold on for now, the Heavenly Collapse... has begun!"
"It...it's started?" Qianqian Zhenzun was extremely surprised. "I only worked for three days...it's already so fast?"
“My territory is in complete chaos too,” said Wu An Zhen Zun, who had entangled a demon who had left his body.
"It started yesterday, but luckily I was well-prepared and still have the capacity to help you."
He had a very accurate understanding of his own position: since he couldn't participate in the final battle, he would do his best to handle the tasks at hand.
He set up numerous formations, created a great many talismans, and assembled a capable team of cultivators.
In short, important matters are none of his concern, so he devotes all his energy to his own little corner of the world.
Anyway, he has already put in a lot of effort, and if he succeeds in saving the world, he will definitely reap the rewards. He should just focus on doing what he needs to do.
"I'm really envious of your attitude," the long-legged true master genuinely envied. "Could you handle these three?"
The sky had already tilted, and she really wanted to go and observe it. If she could contribute her efforts, that would be even better.
“I suggest you finish what you’re doing now,” Wu An Zhenzun said with a hint of helplessness. “I’m just an avatar…”
With his avatar dealing with three Nascent Soul demons and numerous fearless Nascent Soul cultivators, the True Venerable should be considering how to extricate himself!
More importantly, "What if there's a fourth one... this place will be in chaos!"
"How could I... Daoist Wu'an, you have such auspicious words!" True Venerable Qianqian changed his words halfway through his sentence.
Because within the immense demonic energy, the aura of a Nascent Soul Demon had reappeared...
At this moment, Qu Zhenzun, who had caused the heavens to tilt, was coldly sensing his surroundings.
It was originally agreed that instigating the upheaval should be the responsibility of True Lord Boping; it would be far too difficult for a True Venerable to preside over such a matter.
However, a year ago, the plan was overturned because calculations showed that the advance caused by wave leveling was limited.
The specific reason is unknown, but it's not hard to guess.
Bo Ping Zhenjun is a native of Lianxing, and his aura of Tianqing is frighteningly strong. He is a true insider!
His attempt to influence the course of the celestial upheaval is extremely difficult; even with his full efforts, he can only bring it forward by a little over a thousand years.
The best disruptors come from outside the game—that's common sense, isn't it?
So the next option should be the Möbius strip, but that doesn't work either!
If one were to personally participate in the conflict, the outbreak could be brought forward by many years... roughly a hundred or two hundred years.
However, in that case, her divination result would be locked, extremely inauspicious—"to be the vanguard of the Way"!
It's the same as "Be a vanguard for the king": You triggered this event, and what happens afterward has nothing to do with you... You're already dead!
The outcome of the most ominous result is undoubtedly extremely cruel, and in fact, the process of divination is very difficult.
It's worth mentioning that after the results were obtained, three rounds of verification were conducted.
The reason is simple: if the old woman is unable to help, the team has almost no other choice.
Unfortunately, the subsequent three rounds of verification confirmed that the divination results were correct!
Then we can only let Qu Zhenzun take charge of guiding Tianqing.
As it turns out, he truly lived up to his reputation as the main character—he could shorten the time until the cataclysmic event occurred to within two years!
At that moment, the old woman didn't try to be brave. She just looked at him calmly and said, "If you're scared, you can speak up!"
“Let me do it,” Qu Jianlei said without hesitation. “I’m not very good at using the Dao Stele to attract hatred.”
Even if the two True Lords caused the heavens to collapse, in the end he would still have to step in and withstand it.
Moreover, he wasn't sure how much hatred he, as a True Venerable, would attract from the Heavenly Collapse triggered by the True Monarch.
