Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1467 News of the Great Calamity
The news of Murong Yuyao's advancement to the Mahayana stage spread like a thunderbolt across the sky, quickly reaching the entire human territory.

The birth of a new Mahayana cultivator is a momentous event for the human race, enough to shake the very fabric of the world. Wherever the news reaches, sects and aristocratic families are shaken.

Soon, top human forces such as Tianchi Holy Land, Kunlun Holy Land, and Jiuhua Holy Land responded one after another, each sending a grand congratulatory team.

To celebrate his wife's successful tribulation and to showcase this glory to friends from all sides, Liu Changxu specially chose to hold a grand celebration on Peach Blossom Mountain on Golden Ring Island on the eighth day of the third month of the 2195th year of the Great Han Dynasty.

It was March, the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom. The peach orchards covering the mountains and fields resembled clouds and rosy hues, with pink and white petals fluttering down, clinging to the blue stone paths and the eaves of pavilions, adorning the entire Lingshan Mountain like a fairyland. A mountain breeze carried the sweet fragrance of flowers, even the air itself was imbued with a touch of enchantment.

Inside the welcoming building at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, tens of thousands of jade tables laden with delicious dishes were already filled with members of the Liu family and guests from various top human forces.

The view from the top floor of the welcoming building is even more elegant, offering a panoramic view of the peach blossoms covering the mountains and the magnificent scenery inside the building. A large white jade table sits in the center of the hall, where the delicacies are even more exquisite, and the spirit wine gleams with an amber luster, its aroma clear and lingering.

Liu Changxu and Murong Yuyao sat side by side. The former wore a black brocade robe with dragon patterns and had a calm and composed demeanor; the latter wore a moon-white long dress and had a clear and gentle aura between her brows, which was reminiscent of a newly ascended Mahayana cultivator. At this moment, the couple was chatting and laughing with three distinguished guests at the table.

Sitting next to Liu Changxu was Qingmu Shenghuang Yu Wenzhong. He was dressed in a blue robe, had a ruddy complexion, and seemed to be surrounded by the vitality of plants. His words were gentle and kind.

Emperor Jin Haonan of Tianchi was dressed in a golden robe, with a resolute face and piercing eyes. He spoke little, but every word was precious.

Beside Murong Yuyao stood the Flying Snow Saint Emperor Su Yuxue, dressed in a plain white dress, her temperament as cold as ice, yet a faint smile played on her lips, and when she spoke, her voice was as clear and melodious as falling snow.

"Fellow Daoist Murong's advancement to the Mahayana stage is truly a blessing for the human race!"

Emperor Qingmu raised his wine cup and congratulated Wen Zhong:
Murong Yuyao raised her glass in return, smiling slightly and nodding:
"Brother Yu is too kind. If it weren't for my husband's support all the way, Yuyao would not be where she is today."

Jin Haonan laughed heartily: "Fellow Daoist is too modest! In the end, one must rely on one's own perseverance on the path of cultivation; others are merely icing on the cake. Junior Brother is truly blessed to have such a virtuous wife. Both of you have reached the Mahayana stage, a unique and admirable story among the human race."

Liu Changxu smiled and raised his glass, saying:
"Senior Brother Jin is too kind. We've gathered here today, so let's not talk about such things. Come, let's drink this cup together to celebrate Yu Yao and to celebrate the human race!"

The five of them raised their glasses together, and the spirit wine went down their throats, turning into a warm current that flowed through their limbs and bones, making them feel completely comfortable.

However, after downing a glass of wine, Jin Haonan's smile vanished, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"Gentlemen, I just received a message from a friend on Taurus. They are being slaughtered by the Zerg, and the situation is extremely precarious."

"The Zerg?" Su Yuxue frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubt. "I've never heard of this race before. What is their origin?"

Jin Haonan sighed, his tone heavy:

"It's strange, I had never heard of such a race before. But according to my friend, these insectoids resemble ordinary demonic insects in appearance, are not very intelligent, but are extremely numerous and individually powerful. What's even more terrifying is that many of them possess immunity to the Five Elements magic, and there are quite a few even ninth-tier insect kings. Now, most of Taurus has already fallen, and if this drags on any longer, I'm afraid..."

"So, could this insectoid race be an alien race from another world?"

Yu Wenzhong stroked his beard, his gaze deep, and pondered as if deep in thought.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuxue's expression also turned solemn: "If it really comes from another world, then things will be troublesome. Our Kunlun Holy Land's ancient records state that every few hundred thousand years, our world will collide and merge with other worlds, often giving rise to many unprecedented alien races that bring great disasters to this world. The records refer to this periodic catastrophe as the 'Great Calamity'."

The atmosphere in the hall instantly sombered, the previous joy and celebration replaced by an invisible pressure.

The five exchanged glances, all seeing solemnity in each other's eyes. If the insectoid race was indeed a harbinger of a great calamity, then this disaster would probably not only affect Taurus Star, but also their Taibai Star!

"Brother Jin, do you have any more detailed information from your friend's side?"

Su Yuxue asked:
"That's all I know, and judging from my friend's description, they can't hold on for much longer."

Jin Haonan said helplessly:

"Brother Jin, do you have any more detailed information from your friend?" Su Yuxue pressed.
Jin Haonan shook his head, his brows furrowed with helplessness:
"That's all the information I received. Judging from his tone when he sent the message, the defenses over there are on the verge of collapse and probably won't hold out for much longer."

Liu Changxu pondered for a moment, then looked at Jin Haonan and said:

"Senior Brother Jin, are these insectoids really from another world? Could they be from another cultivation planet?"

"We cannot rule out this possibility, but the probability is extremely low."

Jin Haonan said in a deep voice, "You don't know this, but the human race on Taurus Star is far stronger than our Taibai Star. Even the notoriously fierce Troll race is unwilling to provoke them easily. If the Insect race were from this world, it would be impossible for them to have forced Taurus Star into such a situation in such a short time."

He paused, then said with increasing certainty:

"If such a race could cause the fall of most of Taurus and possess the strange ability to be immune to the Five Elements magic, there's no reason why they would never have been recorded if they already existed in our universe. Therefore, it's most likely that they came from another world."

Yu Wenzhong stroked his beard and nodded, then replied:
“Fellow Daoist Jin is right. If they are indeed from another world, then this is not just a matter for Taurus Star. There are few safe places in the entire cultivation world of the universe! We must also make full preparations!”

Before he could finish speaking, the hall fell silent. The magnificent view of Peach Blossom Mountain was still visible outside the window, but a shadow had fallen over everyone's hearts. A crisis that could sweep across the entire cultivation world was quietly approaching.

Liu Changxu, who had been relieved that his wife Murong Yuyao had advanced to the Mahayana stage, became tense again because of the insectoid matter.

He quickly realized that in order to successfully weather this calamity, he had to accelerate the improvement of his family's strength.

At the same time, we should also help Duan Yuwei, Wu Xuege, Liu Fuhai (twenty-one sons), and Liu Fuyin (fifteen daughters), who are qualified to break through to the Mahayana stage, to quickly enter seclusion and achieve Mahayana breakthrough.

Liu Changxu, who had initially felt a slight sense of relief after his wife Murong Yuyao advanced to the Mahayana stage, tensed up again upon hearing about the insectoid race. The joy between his brows faded, replaced by a deep and solemn expression.

He knew that this potential calamity was something that no one could withstand alone; the strength of his family and even the entire human race would face a severe test.

Therefore, he must race against time to improve the family's overall strength in order to lead the family to survive in the future catastrophe.
