Stopping halfway through, he took out the Communication Jade and probed it with his Divine Sense, only to find that Mo Yuxin was trying to contact him.
"What happened, Lady Mo? Is there anything you need my assistance for?" He asked in an even tone of voice.
"Fellow daoist Tian, we’ve encountered a small problem here in the search of the demonic cultivators who besieged the Thousand Petals Hall, although it’s only a little trouble, I thought it’d be good to let you know about it." Mo Yuxin replied, her voice somewhat nervous, but still exuding a sense of elegance.
She was nervous because of fear that Tian Yongheng may be disappointed in her that she couldn’t even do a single favor to him properly despite having all the resources and people necessary.
She definitely didn’t want that to happen, but if this evolved into a major problem later on, then she won’t be able to face him properly too.
It was just better to tell him about this sooner than later.
Tian Yongheng suddenly had a bad feeling as soon as he heard Mo Yuxin mention the "small problem".
He intuitively felt that something was amiss, and a cultivator’s intuitions were almost never wrong, specially cultivators of higher levels.
Golden Core Realm was still a pretty high level of cultivation, as cultivators of this realm could wield the worldly laws and powers of nature. Their understanding of heaven and earth was exceptional, and so was their intuition, which was designed specifically for cultivators.
If the Divine Sense was a cultivator’s sixth sense, then the intuitions of a cultivator could be considered the seventh sense.
Going against their intuitions was something that most cultivators didn’t dare to do unless there was a great opportunity involved, otherwise, they’d be seeking their own demise.
At least, it was regarded as something extremely important.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but ask, "Please tell me what is it about. I’ll try to help to the best of my capabilities."
Taking a deep breath, Mo Yuxin finally replied, "Not too long ago, a Sword Guardian of the mid stages of Void Refinement Realm under one of my Qingyun Sword Sect’s Peak Masters had gone to investigate about those demonic cultivators with some other cultivators of our Qingyun Sect, all of them in the later stages of Golden Core Realm and early stages of Void Refinement Realm.
However, it has been almost 10 years since their departure, and there has been no news from them at all. If nothing was wrong, they would’ve send at least one message every year since going out, but they didn’t do that.
Even other Sword Guardians and members of the sect were dispatched to find them, but they also couldn’t even find a single trace of them at all. No one knows where they went, if the heaven swallowed them or earth devoured them."
As she finished saying this, her brows were deeply furrowed as she sighed.
She herself had a feeling that things weren’t going how they should be, and something is undoubtedly not right.
Listening to her explanation, the uneasiness in Tian Yongheng’s heart grew even further, making him contemplate deeply.
Cultivators of the later stages of Golden Core Realm, along with multiple experts at the early stages of Void Refinement Realm accompanied by a powerhouse of the mid stages of Void Refinement Realm...
"Lady Mo, I’m afraid that they might already be.."
He was about to say something before being interrupted by Mo Yuxin from the other side.
"Yes, I know. But the question is, who could’ve done that? Are there really demonic cultivators of the Void Refinement Realm in the Qingyun Region? The search for them is still going on, but almost all the higher ups know that it’s only to find traces of how they died, and to trace them back to the person who killed them."
Her voice was unexpectedly calm this time, but Tian Yongheng could guess that it was because she knew that there was no point in stressing over something that had already happened.
Despite still being a bit uneasy, he cleared his mind of all doubts with a soft sigh before saying, "Then, what is the Qingyun Sword Sect going to do?"
Mo Yuxin hesitated for a moment before replying, "Although it will be announced later on, I’ll tell fellow daoist Tian in advance.
After the upcoming Qingyun Dao Conference, not just the Qingyun Sword Sect, but all the great powers of the entire State of Fengzhou will come together under the alliance of the righteous path of the State of Fengzhou, and launch an all out war to eradicate the demonic path from the State of Fengzhou as a whole.
Not to mention the countless Golden Core Realm, Void Refinement Realm, and below factions from across the State of Fengzhou who will be joining, but even many Nascent Soul Realm forces and Tribulation Transcendence Realm powers will also be joining the fray from all over the State of Fengzhou, with the Tribulation Transcendence Realm factions acting as the leaders of the alliance.
It will be a total massacre that will possibly go on for centuries and leave a deep mark on the cultivation world of the entire State of Fengzhou. Many people, Immortal Cultivators and mortals alike, are going to die in this, and it’ll take a long time to recover from the aftermaths."
By the end, her voice became extremely tense and serious.
Listening to her, Tian Yongheng didn’t utter a single word. He was too stunned to speak, too taken aback.
He had learned about the Qingyun Dao Conference from Zhao Ye, and knew that it was an event held by the Qingyun Sword Sect every 10,000 years which even Tribulation Transcendence Realm factions of the State of Fengzhou would attend.
Well, not the Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts themselves, but high ranking figures from their factions, including their Personal Disciples and descendents.
The last Qingyun Dao Conference happened more than 9,000 years ago, which meant that the time for the next Qingyun Dao Conference was extremely close!
He had also heard Yan Jingfei mention once that the Qingyun Sword Sect would hold a grand event a couple of centuries later...
All the dots finally connected now.
But Tian Yongheng still did not understand one thing, and that was, when was Yan Jingfei when the war happened?
She told him that she left only after reaching the Golden Core Realm, and she was only at the Acquired Realm when the Qingyun Dao Conference happened in her past life.
Something was wrong here.
At this moment, something suddenly clicked in his mind, and he couldn’t help but frown inwardly.
Hm...could it be that the war never really happened in Yan Jingfei’s past life, as in the original timeline?
He couldn’t help but think of that.
Many things had changed since his appearance, and the original timeline was completely altered now. There was a high chance that his appearance had caused the war that should have never happened in the first place.
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
Even Tribulation Transcendence Realm mighty figures may possibly take part in the war...and who’s to say that the demonic path also doesn’t have experts of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm?
Where was the demonic path in the original timeline, anyways!?
Or were they just hiding?
Forget the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, he was like an ant even to the Nascent Soul Realm. It wasn’t even a comparison.
That was the main cause of his worry.
If experts of such a high level were to duke it out, it was no doubt there would be destruction everywhere. They probably won’t care about the lives of anyone, for they have a greater cause of eradicating the demonic path, while the demonic path cultivators also have a great cause, and that is to survive.
Even if the casualties were minimized, they would still end up in billions of people. And this number only counted the mortals, more specifically, humans.
Not to mention the countless other living beings and Immortal Cultivators.
Even Void Refinement Realm cultivators wouldn’t amount to much in this upcoming war, much less the Golden Core Realm and below cultivators.
At this point, thinking of something, Tian Yongheng asked, "Lady Mo, how much time is left for the Qingyun Dao Conference?"
Mo Yuxin was about to explain the Qingyun Dao Conference to him, however, seeing that he already knew, she didn’t say anything and just answered his question with a soft smile that she shouldn’t have speaking about such dire things, "There are about 140 years left for the next Qingyun Dao Conference.
It should be enough time to prepare, and judging by fellow daoist Tian’s cultivation speed, you might even achieve multiple breakthroughs by then."
"Ah, yes. There is indeed enough time to prepare."
Tian Yongheng didn’t ask how she knew about his cultivation speed, as he knew that she might’ve come to known his background being the young lady of a force like the Qingyun Sword Sect, and that he was only in the Acquired Realm some time ago.
After talking about some other matters for some time, they finally ended the conversation.
Mo Yuxin felt somewhat refreshed as she sat on her cultivation cushion to cultivate.
[Mo Yuxin’s favorability towards you has increased.]
[Current favorability: 5.5-Star]
Tian Yongheng just took a look at this system notification before dismissing it.
Although he didn’t show it earlier, right now, he felt a huge sense of urgency.
He needed to increase his strength as soon as possible!
