Chapter 1408: Storm Approaches

Outside…

In the garden behind the main hall of the Tianji Sect.

Daoist Wuji gazed into the Void Realm, his expression filled with melancholy…

"I wonder… if anyone will be able to obtain that Power of Laws this time."

"If they cannot… the Nine Provinces will once again fall into Hell… Sigh…"

"Can that little guy… succeed?"

The "little guy" Daoist Wuji referred to was Xiao Fan.

He had saved Xiao Fan initially… because he saw potential in him.

Xiao Fan's potential… could be said to be the greatest he had seen in tens of thousands of years…

Therefore, he did not want such a Prodigy to die.

He hoped someone could obtain the Power of Laws, ascend to the Zhanming Realm…

And then lead the living beings of the Nine Provinces to carve out a path to survival.

The Reincarnation curse of the Ten Thousand Year Great Calamity had lasted too long…

…

Heavenly God Palace.

Ye Cang looked much older.

"The Ten Thousand Year Great Calamity… I must find a way to prepare a backup plan…" Ye Cang muttered to himself.

It was not just him…

On the Human Race side.

The Yi Family led by Yi Batian.

The Lin Family where Second Elder Lin Xuan resided.

The Yan Family, the Ning Family, and other great families were all just as busy…

They were all trying to find ways to preserve the Bloodline of their descendants…

…

Demon Domain.

The Old Ancestors of countless great clans, such as the Golden Winged Peng Clan, the Ancient Dragon Elephant Clan, the Blue Peacock Clan, the Grey Flood Dragon Crocodile Clan, and the Yin Tiangou Clan, gathered together.

They were discussing how to face the upcoming Ten Thousand Year Great Calamity!

"Living in humiliation is useless… I would rather die in battle than live on my knees." The Golden-Winged Roc Ancestor said in a deep voice.

He was of the pro-war faction, the type whose opinion was firm…

"Hehehe… Who doesn't know that your Golden Winged Peng Clan was once the mount of the Human Emperor… But we of the Yin Tiangou Clan are not… I think it is better to hide… Select a few more Secret Realms… and we will surely be able to save quite a few clansmen." Ancestor Yintiangou said coldly, expressing his opinion.

"Trash…" The Golden-Winged Roc Ancestor said viciously.

"Say what you want… It's not like we haven't resisted before… But what was the result?" Ancestor Yintiangou said: "Think about how many powerhouses have fallen in the past… how many clansmen have died miserably… Think about it, how many of our Yao Race clans have already gone extinct… It is not that we do not want to fight, but that we simply cannot oppose them…"

Once these words were spoken…

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely heavy and oppressive.

"It is true… The Nine Provinces is no longer the Nine Provinces of the past…" Peacock Ancestor sighed: "I only hope that the Tianji Sect can select the Person of Destiny this time… Perhaps there is still a chance…"

"Old Peacock, what do you mean?!" The Golden-Winged Roc Ancestor raged: "Are you choosing to retreat?"

"The Peacock Clan… will fight to the death." Peacock Ancestor's attitude was equally firm.

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Roc Ancestor's expression softened.

"Sigh… It is fine to deal with ordinary invaders… But those powerful descendants from outside the Domain have even reached the Zhanming Realm… We simply cannot…" The Ancient Dragon Elephant Ancestor sighed.

Everyone fell silent again…

The Zhanming Realm was terrifying!

At the very least, there was not a single powerhouse of this Rank on the Nine Provinces today.

And the overall strength of the powerhouses from outside the Domain… was far more terrifying than the Nine Provinces.

The Nine Provinces were restricted by the Outer Heavenly Dao…

The Power of Laws was incomplete.

Furthermore… the Cultivation Techniques and Legacies in the Nine Provinces… could not compare to those from outside the Domain.

After the Nine Provinces lost the great war.

The top-tier Cultivation Techniques, precious Legacies, and the accumulation of countless years… were all plundered by the two clans from outside the Domain.

Resist!

How could it be easy!!

…

…

Demon Race Domain.

Countless powerful Demon Race forces were communicating with each other…

Some even made contact with other great provinces.

They were all discussing the fact that the great calamity was approaching!

The opening of the Tianji Sect's Secret Realm every ten thousand years represented the arrival of disaster and Hell!!

…

…

Inside the Secret Realm.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye…

Xiao Fan's aura climbed steadily…

He had refined countless Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines.

These were items from the Secret Realm, and their medicinal efficacy far exceeded those of the outside world.

If one were to take out a single stalk, it would attract the eyes of peerless powerhouses, and if placed at a Tiangang Pavilion auction, it could fetch a sky-high price.

But now…

The way Xiao Fan consumed these Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines was as if he were eating radishes.

If these Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines were all refined into Medicinal Pills, the effect would certainly be better.

But there was no time now…

Xiao Fan had no intention of performing Alchemy; he needed to Cultivate and make himself stronger!!

With the help of countless Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines.

Xiao Fan's Foundation was solid, and he had ascended to the Middle Stage of the eighth level of the Yuding Realm!!

And the ninth test had finally arrived…
