Chapter 668: Chapter 363: Taixu Sect, Killing to Protect Life! _2

"However, the bad news is that the current Sect Leader of the Taixu Sect is also one of the three officials under Emperor Canghao."

"The Taixu Sect has an especially intricate connection with the court, and its True Inheritors and Inner Sect Disciples often hold important positions."

"To make a move against the Taixu Sect, one careless action could likely lead to the encirclement and suppression by the court’s Cultivator army."

A few days later, Su Ping arrived in the county under the jurisdiction of the Taixu Sect and easily acquired many related pieces of information from the storytellers amidst the pavilions and towers.

If it were a time when he had both time and leisure.

Su Ping would naturally not mind entering under a disguised identity and, in order to seize the Jianmu Divine Tree, inadvertently climb to a high position or even eventually inherit the Sect’s foundation—an alluring tale indeed.

However, what Su Ping lacked the most now was time.

Thus, having found a quiet location and set up a Formation to block external detection,

Su Ping closed his eyes and began to communicate with the outside world.

The communication was brief, lasting only a moment.

However, for Su Ping at this time, that instant was enough to exchange information.

It was also during this moment that Su Ping could feel that the Canghao Realm, once again, had Great Powers sensing abnormalities and attempting to divine his location.

Experienced in such matters, Su Ping immediately returned to the Pot Cave Heaven.

Instantly, in the skies and lands of the Canghao Realm.

Soon enough, numerous Great Powers who doubted the Evil Qi attempted to divine the source of the recent spatial disturbance. They suffered retaliation, causing another round of clamor and chaos.

A thousand miles outside the Taixu County City, among the mountains perennially shrouded in mist and resembling an Immortal Realm,

lay the main peak of the now-declining Taixu Sect, situated at the heart of a vast Grotto Heaven formed by this very base.

This place, known as Taixu Cave Heaven, in terms of size, spanned a third of the Biyuan Realm.

Within, a Fifth Tier top-grade Spirit Vein existed, providing the Grotto Heaven with a vibrant vitality.

In the depths of the Grotto Heaven, on a piece of dark and burnt land, stood a lone pale dead tree, holding onto its last breath, never truly succumbing to death.

Although the Taixu Sect was in decline, it consistently took great care of this Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree.

Despite various attempts proving futile over time,

they still continually searched for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and unusual secret techniques in the hopes of saving this Ancient Tree.

After all, this tree not only harbored their Taixu Sect’s hope for a rising again,

but it also seemingly held the only path of survival for the Cultivators of their Canghao Realm in the impending crisis.

When the Canghao Realm was initially swallowed by the Dark Void, plenty of Great Powers gathered to discuss how to rescue this Divine Tree.

Regrettably, with too many failures and an excessively long duration of time,

other sects in the Canghao Realm, apart from the Taixu Sect, hardly cared about the current state of the ancient Jianmu Tree anymore.

"Ah!"

The Deputy Sect Master of the Taixu Sect, who also practically handled the sect’s affairs, sighed while looking at the distant Pale Ancient Tree:

"Has it failed again?"

"Yes, all eighty-one Vitality Cicadas buried in the ground have dissipated..."

The elderly Cultivator beside the Deputy Sect Master replied with a distressed face, unable to hide his exhaustion.

"Enough, you’ve all done your best."

"Let’s put a hold on the mission and return for some rest."

"Though it’s an order from the Old Ancestor, even the resources of my Taixu Sect can’t endure such wastage."

"You may go now; leave the rest to me to handle on my own."

The Deputy Sect Master instructed the middle-aged Cultivator to leave.

After a complex gaze at the Pale Ancient Tree, he made up his mind.

No matter what, the Taixu Sect must no longer waste so many resources on this tree.

Rather than futilely reviving the Jianmu Divine Tree without seeing any returns,

wouldn’t it be better to seize the resources to allow a talented elder, like himself, to enter the Immortal Dynasty Nine Dragon Ascension Array for a breakthrough opportunity? In the eyes of the Deputy Sect Master,

should the Taixu Sect produce a Returning to Void Perfection True Monarch,

that would indeed solve all of their problems!

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

Just as the Deputy Sect Master had prepared his argument, planning to return and contact the Sect Master still embedded in the core of the court,

suddenly, a Treasure Mirror materialized beside him.

It then showed the panicked face of his most beloved closed-door Disciple.

"What has happened that you are so panicked, have you forgotten the teachings of your master?"

"Should we not remain calm in face of great events?"

After scolding, the Deputy Sect Master, having listened to his Disciple’s report, was momentarily stunned.

The sky of the region where their Taixu Sect was located,

had suddenly developed a black crack spanning thousands of miles!

"This is impossible! Outside the Canghao Continent, various Old Ancestors are guarding the four directions with Divine Weapons and Immortal Relics."

"How could spatial rifts possibly appear!"

At this, the Deputy Sect Leader could no longer care about anything else.

He hurriedly left the Forbidden Land and rang the warning bell within the sect’s Grotto Heaven.

Before long, hundreds of Taixu Sect disciples followed him as they flew out of the Grotto Heaven and appeared in the outside world.

Upon emerging outside the Grotto Heaven, the deputy sect leader saw the rift in the sky from afar, confirming that the disciple’s words were true.

He then took out the Treasure Mirror, input Mana into it, and made a topographical map of the entire area appear on its surface.

He spoke,

"The spatial rift in the sky."

"It must be those outerworld Evil Demons launching a suicidal attack!"

"Fellow Daoist friends, there is no need to panic. Even if these Evil Spirits barely make it here, they will surely be injured and suppressed by the world’s power of the Canghao Realm!"

"They are not a concern! On the contrary, this is our chance to achieve great deeds and cultivation!"

"All Taoist Friends in Taixu County with a Golden Core or higher, heed my command!"

"Join me, the Taixu Sect, in slaying the enemy!"

The deputy sect leader’s voice wandered across every city and town within the entire region.

Hearing the command, local cultivators with a Golden Core or higher, without a moment’s hesitation, prepared themselves and soared into the sky, rushing toward the direction of the dark rift.

Indeed, the spatial rift had been caused by an external worldly force.

After exchanging real-time information of the Immortal Cultivation World with the Heavenly Tathagata,

it was learned that Su Ping had already arrived near the destination.

The Heavenly Tathagata was also tempted.

Thus, seizing the appearance of a new wave of Evil Qi Tide,

The Heavenly Tathagata manifested dozens of avatars of various forms,

like several powerful Sons of Evil God, simultaneously initiating an assault on the Canghao Realm.

This assault acted like a spark to a fuse,

causing a large number of both small and large Evil Spirits and waiting Sons of Evil God to strike together,

not wanting to miss the opportunity to breach the world barrier of the Canghao Realm.

The Great Powers of the Canghao Realm, naturally, also detected this situation,

and they hurried over to obstruct it.

But,

being a large world had its advantages for the Canghao Realm,

but because it was so large,

it also faced a correspondingly greater total amount of Evil Qi Tide.

Like a tsunami, the tide of Evil Qi continuously slammed against the world surface barrier,

causing immense pressure,

making it impossible for the powerful cultivators inside to cover all bases,

During the moment of the tidal surge, numerous spatial rifts inevitably appeared internally,

although normally, most, if not all, of these spatial rifts would appear in the Sea of Void,

since, compared to the continents, the Sea of Void occupies the largest proportion of the entire large world.

However, with the interference from the Heavenly Tathagata,

the situation changed.

With the Heavenly Tathagata offering a Supreme Golden Body,

and attaching it to the world barrier to self-destruct,

a huge breach appeared in the world barrier of the Canghao Realm!

This was a situation previously seen only during great disasters caused by Evil Demons.

It immediately caused the Great Powers who had come to repair it to break out in a cold sweat.

Although they all knew that the Canghao Realm could not always be stable,

as more and more of their trump cards were depleted, disasters like those of old would only increase and cause greater damage.

But witnessing the calm being broken so suddenly,

they still couldn’t help feeling a bit sentimental and worried.

After the Heavenly Tathagata broke the barrier, he did not act further,

but simply watched as the other Sons of Evil God and various Evil Spirits charged in,

and he softly said:

"The Buddha is merciful, this is the path of killing to protect life!"
