Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1468 Preparing for War
After the festivities subsided and Jin Haonan and other distinguished guests left, Liu Changxu immediately summoned his wife and children for an emergency meeting in the family council hall.

When Liu Changxu slowly recounted the news of the impending calamity, the hall fell silent. Except for Murong Yuyao, who already knew the truth and remained calm, everyone else's faces were filled with horror, and their breathing became heavy.

"Father, this great calamity... could it be that the entire cultivation world of the universe will be affected?"

Liu Fuba, being the most impatient of them all, couldn't contain himself and asked urgently:
Liu Changxu nodded, his voice solemn:

"Yes. To be more precise, the great calamity has already begun, but it has not yet spread to our Taibai Star."

"Then... are Neptune Star, Xuanhuang Star, and Bailing Star also unsafe?"

Li Zhenxin frowned, and asked anxiously:

It should be known that there are many of her bloodline descendants on these cultivation planets. If they are affected by the great calamity, countless people will lose their lives.

Liu Changxu was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said:
"Once the great calamity truly begins, there will likely be no absolutely safe place in any corner of the cultivation world of this universe."

A single sentence made the atmosphere in the hall even heavier. The joy that had initially arisen from Murong Yuyao's advancement was now completely overshadowed by the shadow of impending calamity. Everyone knew that this was no exaggeration.

To be called a "great calamity" must be a disaster powerful enough to shake the entire cultivation world of the universe.

"Since the great calamity is unavoidable, we must prepare accordingly. This applies not only to Venus, but also to Xuanhuang, Bailing, and Poseidon. We must make advance preparations to minimize casualties among our people."

Liu Changxu said in a deep voice:

"We obey the decree!"

Everyone present responded in unison.

"Father, what should we do next?"

Liu Fuhai, the son, stepped forward and asked:
Liu Changxu looked at him and said slowly, "The first thing to do is to strengthen your own strength. Yuwei, Xuege, Fuhai, and Fuyin, you should all go into seclusion and make sure to break through to the Mahayana stage as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your son obeys!"

Duan Yuwei and the others accepted the order in unison.

Liu Changxu nodded slightly and continued:

"Secondly, we should prepare more secret refuge spaces for the mortal clansmen. Once the great calamity strikes, we should immediately move the mortal clansmen into these spaces."

……

Because this meeting was directly related to the survival of the clan, it lasted for three days and three nights, covering everything from improving their own strength and ensuring the survival of their clansmen, to resource allocation, external alliances, and intelligence gathering—each step meticulously planned and executed. After the meeting, the Great Han Dynasty and the Liu family began preparing for the impending calamity.

After arranging for his wife Duan Yuwei and Wu Xuege, his son Liu Fuhai, and his daughter Liu Fuyin to go into seclusion, Liu Changxu also participated in the preparations for dealing with the great calamity.

In order to strengthen the connection between Taibai Star and Neptune Star, Bailing Star, and Xuanhuang Star, and to ensure that all parties can communicate and provide rapid support in the event of an alien invasion, Liu Changxu specially summoned the most outstanding weapon refiners and array masters in the family, and led them to work together to refine and set up interstellar teleportation arrays and communication arrays.

Currently, although the Liu family has set up interstellar teleportation arrays and communication arrays connecting Venus, Neptune, Bailing, and Xuanhuang, these arrays are not direct but are connected in a chain.

If Liu Changxu, who is currently on Taibai Star, wants to go to Xuanhuang Star, he must first go through a teleportation array to reach Poseidon Star, then transfer from Poseidon Star to Bailing Star, and finally arrive at his destination.

This kind of interconnected link harbors a huge hidden danger. If Neptune were to fall, the entire transmission and communication link would be severed, and the connection between Venus and Bailing and Xuanhuang would be completely cut off. At that time, even if they wanted to send reinforcements, they would be helpless due to information blockage and blocked paths. This is something that Liu Changxu absolutely cannot tolerate.

He believes that only by establishing a direct "star network" connection between these stars and Venus, allowing them to reach each other without intermediate nodes, can true rapid assistance be provided in the event of a crisis, minimizing losses.

However, constructing such a direct interstellar network is far more difficult than repairing existing links. The deployment of interstellar arrays first requires precisely locking the spatial coordinates of each star; even the slightest error could lead to plunging into interstellar turbulence. Secondly, each interstellar teleportation array consumes a massive amount of high-level spiritual materials, requiring the accumulation of a family over millennia. Such a colossal project, with its immense costs and long duration, is destined to be a long and arduous undertaking.

However, considering the impending calamity, Liu Changxu made up his mind. No matter how much it took, he had to overcome this tough challenge, because in the face of such a catastrophe, any hidden danger could cause countless deaths and injuries to his clansmen.

Besides the interstellar teleportation array, Liu Changxu also had two other important matters on his mind:

First, we will open up more secret spaces to settle our clansmen; second, we will comprehensively reinforce and upgrade the clan's protective formations on each star.

The opening of the secret realm was the last resort for the Liu family's survival. Therefore, he ordered his children to organize a large number of people to search for a suitable location to open the secret realm.

Since the secret realm is directly related to the life and death of a large number of clansmen, the location for opening the secret realm must not only be hidden and difficult to find, but also have high-level spiritual veins and a relatively stable space.

Whenever a suitable secret realm was opened up, he would immediately send array masters to set up multiple concealment restrictions, and at the same time arrange for people to transport food, pills and other supplies in advance to ensure that if a great calamity came, the old, weak, women and children could be quickly transferred there to avoid direct combat.

The reinforcement and upgrading of the clan's protective formations is the first line of defense against external enemies. He summoned all the cultivators in the clan who were proficient in formations to consolidate and upgrade the clan's protective formations on Taibai Star, Haishen Star, Bailing Star, and Xuanhuang Star, in order to maximize the defensive capabilities of the formations.

Due to the excessive amount of high-grade spiritual materials required to set up the interstellar teleportation array and upgrade the clan's protective array, the Liu family's family treasury, accumulated over thousands of years, was completely emptied.

With no other option, the Liu family increased the mining efforts of various spirit metal and spirit material mines and even dispatched special teams to search for high-grade spirit metal and spirit materials in the depths of space.

Liu Changxu knew that the secret realm was a retreat route, and the great formation was a barrier; neither could be dispensed with. The former was to preserve the family's lineage, while the latter was to buy time for the front lines. Only by working together could they build a solid foundation for the Liu family's survival in this unknown calamity.

Just as the Liu family was making intensive preparations for the great calamity, the same trend was sweeping through the entire human cultivation world.

The top cultivation forces, led by the three holy lands, have mobilized their resources and launched a massive preparation for war.

In contrast, the situation of smaller and medium-sized forces is even more difficult. With limited resources and weak strength, they are unable to withstand the impact of the great calamity on their own. Therefore, they try every means to get close to the major forces, hoping to receive their protection when the catastrophe comes.
