Chapter 481 - 422: The Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth Approaches

Inside the loft, Chu Huaixu fell into silence.

What Ming Xuanji said was not unexpected for him.

On the contrary, the Daoist Sect had long held meetings to discuss this, and everyone felt that the planetary catastrophe might arrive earlier than expected.

After all, look at what Chu Huaixu has been doing?

Even the most important Fruit Position had been monopolized by him.

This would directly lead to the phenomenon of Heavenly Dao collapse over at Kunlun Cave Heaven!

Therefore, Xiang Yan and others had always felt that preparations could be made in the Profound Yellow Realm on this side.

To avoid being caught off guard when the time comes.

As for Chu Huaixu, he still had one thing unsaid.

As a player, he was well aware that he had completely deviated from the main storyline.

This indeed would bring great uncertainty.

Like the Black Moon Sect, Snow Venerable, and others, these plotlines hadn’t even unfolded yet before he crossed over.

But now they had been resolved prematurely by him.

The butterfly effect triggered by a series of events might not be visible in the early stages.

But eventually, it would undoubtedly lead to an explosion!

Thus, he had already prepared himself mentally.

At this moment, he stood outside the Life Extension Array, looking at Ming Xuanji inside who was desperately clinging to life, and said indifferently:

"Old State Preceptor, this sort of thing that anyone with half a brain could guess doesn’t warrant calling me over specifically to say it, does it?"

"Moreover, from the tone of your words, are you accusing me?"

Ming Xuanji’s cloudy and murky eyes had a slight change.

His eyes showed endless anxiety.

He seemed to want to rebut, but speaking even a few more words was quite taxing for him now.

Beside him, Lin Zixuan quickly interjected:

"Chu Huaixu! My master doesn’t mean that."

Due to the overly strained relationship between the parties, there had even been life-and-death feuds prior, so the overall atmosphere was naturally not good.

Ming Xuanji lay half-prone within the array, without even the strength to cough, but after a slight cough, his throat and chest felt clogged.

Lin Zixuan hurriedly performed incantations beside him, making the Old State Preceptor’s complexion slightly improve.

After a long while, he said a few more words with great difficulty.

"O...one month."

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but frown.

"Do you mean the planetary catastrophe will arrive in a month?"

Damn, that’s too fast!

Right now, I’m only at the mere Fourth Realm level of Cultivation.

His pace of progress simply can’t keep up with the development of the situation.

It can only be said that he has done too many earth-shattering things with meager cultivation, causing the situation to start becoming somewhat uncontrollable for him.

All the early fortuitous encounters also laid hidden hazards in the shadows!

Gifts seemingly from fate are actually marked with a price in secret.

Listening to Chu Huaixu’s words, Ming Xuanji couldn’t help but want to cough again, showing an anxious look.

This made the dead fox probe with a question:

"Not in a month?"

"Within a month?"

Only then did the Old State Preceptor’s cloudy eyes gradually show calmness.

But Chu Huaixu’s heart was far from calm.

The anxiety didn’t disappear; it merely shifted.

"Within a month?"

Too fast!

This is not the situation he hoped to see.

Whether it’s him or the other three protagonists of the realm, they all need time to grow.

Although Kunlun Cave Heaven people face Heavenly Dao suppression after arriving in the Profound Yellow Realm, the combined strength of the two realms is indeed somewhat disparate.

Here in the Profound Yellow Realm, counting the Great Cultivators of East Continent and Western Continent together, there are barely enough to total less than 3000 people.

But how about Kunlun Cave Heaven?

According to the data provided by Wen Shiyu, excluding Loose Cultivators, just within the Kunlun Saint Sect, there are as many as 20,000 Cultivators at the Golden Core Stage!

And the number of Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage also outnumbers the Seventh Realm and Eighth Realm cultivators here in the Profound Yellow Realm by five times.

Not to mention that Kunlun Cave Heaven also has Immortal Venerables far surpassing the Ninth Realm.

Moreover, in terms of practical combat, Cultivators actually hold the advantage.

In the Profound Yellow Realm, one needs to reach the Fifth Realm to fly.

Kunlun Cave Heaven doesn’t have such restrictions.

Just the fact that one can fly while the other cannot creates a vast difference in actual combat.

However, precisely because of the gap between the two realms, the planetary catastrophe is called a catastrophe!

Seeing now, the chance of victory is extremely slim.

No wonder earlier everyone placed their hope on an Evil Sword.

"Within a month?" The dead fox slightly clenched his fist.

At this moment, Chu Huaixu couldn’t determine whether Ming Xuanji’s divination was accurate.

Yet looking at his current gasping state, it certainly came with a great price.

"Specific time?" Chu Huaixu asked.

Ming Xuanji slowly closed his eyes without answering.

His attitude was clear; he did not know.

"Has the Old State Preceptor told the Moon Emperor of this matter?"

Ming Xuanji remained silent.

Lin Zixuan answered on his behalf:

"Not yet, Master instructed me to seek you first."

This caused Chu Huaixu to involuntarily give Ming Xuanji a deep look.

Such a matter concerning the fate of all beings, this former State Preceptor of Moon Country did not first inform his loyal emperor but chose to notify me?

It is evident that Chu Huaixu’s weight in Ming Xuanji’s heart has long changed.

In rounding off, what is this Moon Country Jiang Zhi!

After contemplating for a moment, Chu Huaixu immediately said, "Alright, I understand."

"Miss Lin, you should now go to the palace and inform Elder Xiahou of this matter."

"The Moon Emperor is likely still in a coma and surely won’t wake in these few days."

"I shall take my leave first and inform the sect of this matter."

As soon as the words were spoken, Ming Xuanji immediately opened his eyes with difficulty again.

He looked toward Lin Zixuan.

The girl instantly understood and said, "Chu Huaixu, please... wait a moment."

"Oh? Miss Lin, anything else?"

Lin Zixuan spoke:

"Chu Huaixu, Master had instructed earlier, saying if... if he one day passed away..."

The girl carefully considered her words, with an obvious tinge of sadness in her tone.

Because she knew that day was likely not far off.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Zixuan continued:

"Then, please come over at that time."

"Come for what?" Chu Huaixu immediately frowned and asked.

Come to bid you farewell?

No, with our relationship, it isn’t worthy of me to send you off.

If not for the special circumstances now, with the overarching importance, Chu Huaixu’s usual vengeful nature would have scattered your ashes!

Lin Zixuan quickly said, "Master will have something to leave for you then."

"What is it?"

"I don’t know," Lin Zixuan replied.

Chu Huaixu immediately turned to look at Ming Xuanji within the Grand Array.

As a result, the old one did not know whether it was playing coy or for other reasons, he closed his eyes again and remained silent.

The young man in the black-gold robe stared at the elderly man, feeling irritated once more.

Most annoying are those enigmatic fools.

Nevertheless, he agreed to the matter.

"Okay, I promise you."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and left.

The Old State Preceptor within the Grand Array then opened his eyes again.

His eyes fixed on the black sword scabbard in Chu Huaixu’s left hand.

To be precise, he deeply looked at the Black Bead hanging on the scabbard.
