620 Abyss Invasion
When he heard about the abyss, Lin Xuan knew that his happy vacation time was fleeting.
He was prepared to set off for the Imperial Capital the next day to meet up with the Wudang Immortal and Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man. Now, the Wudang Immortal was no longer on Mount Wudang, but was personally overseeing the Imperial Capital. As for Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man, he sent a clone over.
This gathering should be the second gathering of the core members of the three treasures plan.
“You’re here.”
!!
In a pavilion on the red leaf mountain in the Imperial Capital, the middle-aged Li Er was making tea. He just sprinkled some tea leaves into each cup and poured some boiling water. After a minute or two, the tea would be ready. Although the process was simple, the tea was not.
There was only one dragon blood date leaf tea on Mount Wudang. Moreover, it would not survive after leaving the special environment of Mount Wudang. Therefore, there were no offshoot trees at all.
Other than the tea leaves, the water was also extraordinary. It was a mountain spring in Hongye Mountain. It was sweet and clear. After drinking a mouthful, there would be a faint sweetness left as residue. This water was the best for making tea.
Lin Xuan did not know much about the way of tea. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He tasted it carefully. There was a hint of blood, a date taste, and finally the sweetness unique to the spring water.
“Not bad.”
Lin Xuan nodded twice before he put the cup down.
“Not bad? That’s all?”
The middle-aged man said with a smile. He picked up his cup and slowly sipped.
“I don’t know about the way of tea, and I don’t have the heart to study it. But I do know that when drinking tea, you have to drink with your heart. Only those who are calm can taste the sweetness buried by the bitterness in the tea.”
“Drinking tea often isn’t because we like to drink tea, but because we can examine our hearts through drinking tea.”
The middle-aged Daoist was very satisfied with Lin Xuan’s answer.
At this point, the last participant arrived late. He had a bun on his head, wore a Daoist robe with ten thousand stars, and had a huge investiture of the gods on his back. He bowed to Lin Xuan and the middle-aged Daoist as soon as he entered.
It couldn’t be helped. Even though Lin Xuan was a junior, his seniority had been rising ever since he married Zhu Mingmei. It was fine for others as they would address him as the Human Emperor, but Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man couldn’t do that because Zhu Mingmei was his teacher. Back then, she had held an apprenticeship ceremony, so he naturally had to bow to Lin Xuan when he saw him.
Of course, Lin Xuan did not dare to be arrogant. He bowed slightly and returned the gesture. After all, other than seniority, he was inferior to Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man in many other aspects.
As for the Wudang Immortal, he only smiled and nodded at Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man. After all, he was half a teacher to Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man as well.
This meeting was too formal!
Lin Xuan soon realized the reason Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man saluted him as soon as he entered. Although there were only three people in this meeting, the fate of the planet would be decided. Furthermore, if Taixia was in turmoil, even the Blue Planet would be in trouble.
“Let’s talk about the cause first. The abyss is approaching. I can hear the sound from the abyss through the world membrane, which means that the two worlds are not far away. They will collide soon.”
“We should give up on Blue Planet.”
The middle-aged Daoist’s words stunned Lin Xuan. To be honest, he had never thought of this option. After all, he was born and bred here. The Blue Planet was his hometown, and it was difficult to leave his hometown.
“Do we really have to give up on the Blue Planet?”
Lin Xuan asked, unwilling to give up.
“We have to. A world targeted by the abyss has never had a way out!”
All three of them knew this very well. Whether it was the information they obtained from dungeons, high-end inheritances, or the mysterious chat group, they were all filled with despair about the abyss.
If a world was targeted by the abyss, there would definitely be no way out. The best outcome would be to fall into the abyss. As for the worst outcome, it would be turned into ruins by the powers of the higher dimensions.
In the end, Lin Xuan could only close his eyes and silently accept this.
Then, there were some arrangements that were made. Due to the invasion of the abyss, Taixia Country would not have more battle strength to support other countries. The powerhouses outside would gradually be recalled. Additionally, some plans that had been carried out for over 100 years would fail, mainly because they had never imagined that the world would become like this.
Originally, Taixia had thought that the three treasures would enter the heaven-rank at the same time, opening the path to the heaven-rank on the Blue Planet. At that time, many powerhouses lurking in foreign countries would take action to build the Netherworld, the Heavenly Court, and the mythological system of Taixia.
However, all of this was destroyed by Lin Xuan. He killed the Dragon King Aether with a single punch. The world was disgraced, unstable, and that caused the abyss to invade them. The Blue Planet was no longer a place for humans to stay. If he wanted to find a way out for the people of Taixia, the only way was to ascend the whole country!
“Lin Xuan, I need you to stop the foreign demons from entering Taixia Country. As for the demons in the country, we will deal with them.
“When the time comes, the three of us will choose a time to break through our strength, combine the three treasures into one, and step into the heaven-rank path!
“That way, the whole country can ascend!”
It was not that Taixia Country didn’t make any preparations for this. As the old saying went, plans couldn’t keep up with changes, not to mention a plan which lasted over 100 years. As a prudent country, of course, Taixia Country would prepare a million and one backways for itself, such as the arrangement for the whole country to ascend.
“As for the time, let’s set it in a month!”
The middle-aged man had already seen that the abyssal world was about to converge with the Blue Planet in less than a month. The remaining month was naturally the end of the plan.
The meeting came to an end. The middle-aged man stood up and left. Before he left, he patted Lin Xuan’s shoulder. To be honest, it was really disadvantageous for Lin Xuan to break through at this time. Unfortunately, the abyss did not wait for anyone, and time was not on his side. Once the situation dragged on, the impact of the abyss on the people of Taixia would be irreversible.
In fact, the abyssal world and the Blue Planet’s intersection came faster than everyone had imagined. On the third day after the gathering, there was a muffled sound between heaven and earth. It was very dull, as if something had collided.
Lin Xuan raised his head and looked at the world, only to discover that a Blood Moon was slowly appearing on the Blue Planet.
At the same time, he sensed an abyssal gate suddenly opening, and countless abyssal demons ran out. They had strange shapes, and their bodies emitted the pungent smell of sulfur. Most of them were of the fire element.
Coming to the Blue Planet was like coming to heaven. They didn’t let go of anything that could be eaten, and they seemed to be extremely hungry.
Just as one of the demons was about to attack a person, an unimaginable pressure appeared, causing all the demons to faint!
