Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

The Five Elements Sect is finished!
At least for now, Luo Yan sees no future for this ancient sect that once dominated the North Sea.

Even someone like Daoist Lilong, the first in line to inherit the Heavenly Mystery Hall, could only escape into the demonic path and cultivate demonic arts to avoid the calamity of fate.

What will other people think? And how should we view this?
Moreover, this is a problem that Luo Yan has already discovered. How many senior elders have not surfaced and have been repeatedly committing evil deeds over the past three thousand years?
There are probably too many to count.

What future could such a Five Elements Sect possibly have?
Perhaps after this great calamity of destiny and the calamity of the rampant demonic cultivators, a few lucky ones will be able to avoid all the dangers and survive to the end.

Only by establishing their own foundation and then closing their gates for thousands or tens of thousands of years in a newly established sect can they possibly grow strong again.

However, it would be absolutely impossible to reach the current level of the Five Elements Sect without tens of thousands of years!

The fate of the Wind and Sea Islands also implies another possibility: that before the calamity of destiny arrives, the lower-ranking disciples within the Five Elements Sect will be massacred.

And no sect elders will step in to help.
What remains in the eyes of the world are probably just empty, ethereal skeletons.

Even if it were a sea creature invasion, the result wouldn't be so tragic, because most people could still run away if they realized they couldn't win.

Since you can run, it means there's a chance of survival.

On the contrary, it was the elders of the Five Elements Sect who took action, hunting blood and goat food everywhere to strengthen their demonic bodies, which made people feel even more desperate.

Even the most fortified fortress is often breached first from within.
This statement has once again proven its value!
The destruction of the Fenghai Islands, the scene of the Lilong Daoist devouring blood offerings, and a series of other events such as the frequent occurrence of island-destroying disasters over thousands of years.

This all implies that the number of high-ranking members of the Five Elements Sect who have transformed into demons will be an incredibly large number.

Luo Yan couldn't guess how many of the Five Elements Sect's members these demons actually made up, nor did he dare to guess.

But even a glimpse of the whole picture reveals that even a powerful being like Daoist Lilong, who possessed both status and strength, chose to escape into the demonic path.

Then how terrifying must the number of other Five Elements Sect disciples be?

Just thinking about it makes people's scalp numb.

In this way, any cultivator whose cultivation level has not reached the Integration Realm will eventually become food for those sect elders who have already been demonized.

They won't even have the right to run away.

This was nothing short of a blow to those cultivators who had cut themselves in the process, hoping to escape the great calamity of fate with their Void Refinement Realm cultivation. It shattered their illusions.

The only fate of those who merely linger on is to become food for those supreme elders.

No one is an exception!

Today the Wind Sea Islands are destroyed, tomorrow it could be the Shadow Sea Islands, the Heavenly Gate Sea Islands, and the Red Sea Islands.
Even islands in inland seas cannot escape it.

As for those who have already reached the Integration Realm, or even more powerful beings, there is no way for them to survive.

Once the calamity of their destiny arrives, it will be the day when the three calamities and nine tribulations that befall them erupt.

Under divine punishment, all living beings will perish!

That was the real bloodbath.

"So, we're about to face a certain death situation?" the second spirit said, his expression grave.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they now have two venerable immortal artifact masters protecting them, capable of blocking all attacks from the outside. Even a true Mahayana-level monster can't do anything to them.

But the immortals who descended to earth collected not only fortune, but also the celestial treasure, Five Finger Mountain.

At that time, the semi-immortal artifacts within the Five Elements Sect will most likely be taken away as well.

At that time, without the protection of these two artifact spirit ancestors, how would Luo Yan cope?

After all, there is still a group of Supreme Elders lurking within the sect who have become demonized and have devoured many of their fellow disciples.
At that moment, Luo Yan will die, and it will be a gruesome death.

At that time, all the Five Elements Sect disciples, including Luo Yan, will be devoured by those great demons and used as food.

The Five Elements School is in grave danger!
Luo Yan himself is in grave danger!

In addition, his second spiritual body was also targeted by Palace Master Gongsun and became a pawn.

Although there is no immediate danger to their lives, the pieces will either be captured or eliminated.

There are very few exceptions!

Therefore, a deep sense of powerlessness always lurked in the heart of the second spirit body, lingering in his mind.

The second spirit asked himself, would a Mahayana sect leader who could sit idly by and watch his most senior disciple fall into demonic ways feel any pity for a nobody like him?
The second spiritual body does not believe!

Someone as insignificant as him probably wouldn't even have the chance to stop and linger.

After all, in the eyes of such beings, the role of a chess piece is always simply whether it is useful or useless.

If it's useful, make a move; if it's useless, discard it.

There will be absolutely no pity whatsoever!

Even those from the same school are no exception!
Otherwise, how could this demonization that spread throughout the entire sect have not been dealt with in time?

The second spiritual body can believe that other people's strength is average and cannot calculate why the demonic cultivators appeared in the capital.

But he knew very well that what those guys did could not be hidden from the calculations of those two.

This is inevitable!

Therefore, given the fact that Daoist Lilong switched to the demonic path...

So perhaps it wasn't just those Supreme Elders; some of the twelve probably also chose to escape into the demonic path.

There were bad people among the Mahayana patriarchs!

In order to avoid death and to escape the calamity of fate, they chose to sacrifice all the living beings of the Five Elements Sect!
The second spirit body isn't a mind reader and can't guess what those people are thinking. But if the calamity of destiny means there's no way to avoid it, it's equivalent to certain death.

Entering the cycle of reincarnation and turning to demonic cultivation becomes a perfectly normal choice.

Because nobody wants to die!
Especially for people who live longer, the less they want to die!
In order to survive in the long run, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect will have to make some sacrifices.
"What should we do? Is there a way to break this deadlock?" the second spirit asked again, its body trembling slightly.

The thought that hundreds or even thousands of great demons would appear hundreds of years from now filled him with dread.

By then, no matter how many disciples of the Five Elements Sect there are, they will not be enough for these great demons to devour.

The Five Elements Sect will be completely transformed into a hellish inferno of corpses and blood.

Everywhere you look, there are mangled limbs and pieces of flesh, and blood and bones everywhere.
Seeing that the main body had also fallen silent, the second spirit felt a chill in its heart, realizing that this situation was likely a future reality.

How difficult it would be to break this deadlock!

Once you break through to the Venerable Realm, your personal fortune will inevitably be taken away, and you will no longer be loved by Heaven and Earth, suffering all kinds of calamities and tribulations.

Without breaking through to the Integration Realm, how can they escape when a group of powerful demons that feed on flesh and souls attack?

"It seems we have nowhere to retreat." Luo Yan's gaze was deep and unsettling.

After he cleverly eliminated the threat posed by the Three Saints of Yanxing, he was filled with joy, for with the great enemy gone, the sword hanging over his heart had vanished. But when Luo Yan glimpsed the fate of the Fenghai Islands, he was immediately shocked.

Who that blood-red figure hidden in the blood mist was was not important. What was important was that such a serious event had occurred in the Wind and Sea Islands, yet no one had stopped it.

The implications behind this were enough to silence Luo Yan just by thinking about them.

No matter how you look at it, his future path will be an extremely dangerous and dead end.

Above, true immortals descend to harvest fortune; below, old monsters at the Integration Realm, Tribulation Transcending Realm, and even Mahayana Realm devour blood and flesh.
Faced with this situation, how will Luo Yan break free?

He made rapid progress, breaking through several major realms in just a few hundred years, and becoming a true flawless great master.

Or should they retreat from the world and avoid the many calamities that are about to come?
Luo Yan knew that others might still have a chance to escape and leave, thus revealing the Five Elements Sect.

But he absolutely cannot!

He has only one path to take: to advance triumphantly and quickly attain enlightenment!

"Why don't you switch to the demonic path too? That way, you'll be one of those senior elders," the second spirit body teased.

After a brief moment of shock, he immediately realized that this was a crisis for the main body, not for him!
He was assigned to the Earth Immortal Alliance by Palace Master Gongsun with the intention of having him take over the Heavenly Fortune Star.

This arrangement, while implying that it is not something that can be refused, also means that there will not be much risk.

Compared to the original body, the second spirit body will be infinitely better off.

"Do you think that the person who put you in charge of Tianyun Star did so because they value your abilities?" Luo Yan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ci Shen.

"Isn't that so?" The second spirit body paused for a moment, but said nonchalantly.

"Stop deceiving yourself. You've already suspected it, but you just didn't want to believe it."

"The Heavenly Secret Devouring Method of the Longyangzi lineage has already given you the answer."

“What that person wants is not a self-aware successor, but a variable vessel. In this respect, you and I are the most suitable,” Luo Yan sighed.

Although Luo Yan is currently unaware of whether the two have developed murderous intent towards him.

But one thing is certain: his continued stay in the Five Elements Sect will likely not end well.

There's no reason why the second body, who was tricked, could escape the chessboard and achieve a peaceful ending.
"Stop harboring any other illusions. Get ready. We only have one main task ahead of us."

"Break through to the next realm quickly!" Luo Yan shook his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Even if he had this idea long ago, whether for his future path, for the sake of all living beings in the lower realms, or for the will of heaven and earth.

But all those things were things he did on his own initiative.

Instead of the current situation, where we are being pushed forward relentlessly, with bottomless abysses on both sides and behind us.

"I will head to the outer realms as soon as possible and embark on that starry path that signifies endless conquest."

"And what about you? How will you face the challenges ahead?" The second spirit nodded, the joking expression gone.

His next journey was simple: go to the outer reaches of space, find the battlefield of the Myriad Spirits Pride Society, and then wage war.

Finally, under that starry sky, he bathed in blood to prove his path.

However, his physical body is not suitable, as he also bears the heavy responsibility of defending the Crimson Sea. Therefore, their paths will naturally diverge.

"I will try to collect more fragments of laws and borrow the will of heaven and earth in the lower realm to help me comprehend the laws of the Great Dao and finally achieve transformation."

Luo Yan thought for a moment and offered a feasible solution.

This was his true intention, and he had been working towards it all along.

Now, it's just a matter of speeding up the process.

At the same time, the fate of the Feng Hai lineage also made Luo Yan wary.

If such an experience happened in the Red Sea Islands, what would he do?
Will the Red Sea area still be defended?
This is indeed a problem!
"Forget it, I'll just leave now."

"This godforsaken place seems peaceful and the ideal place to live, but in reality, it has long been a forbidden place for certain people."

"You can stay here and suffer your headache, I'm leaving now."

"Hahaha"

The second spirit laughed loudly, its form transforming into a point of spiritual light and dissipating, leaving behind an invisible ripple.

His laughter contained complex emotions: disappointment, horror, and alienation.

If the Five Elements Sect is such a sect, turning into the Five Elements Demonic Sect, does it really still have a reason to exist?

Who would consider such a sect as their home?
From top to bottom, everyone is constantly fighting for their own interests.

Even fellow disciples from the same school could be used as food.
"So this is why you said the tree was sick."

"It's not just sick, it's sick to the trunk, sick to the roots, sick to every inch of the tree."

"This once towering tree is probably not far from its complete collapse," Luo Yan murmured, looking at the direction where his second body had disappeared.

He recalled a conversation he had with the White-Browed Palace Master some time ago.

At that time, Luo Yan was asked questions such as, "If the sect were to fall ill, what would he do to resolve the situation?"

Luo Yan's answer at the time was that if she was sick, she should get proper treatment.

After all, it's just an illness, not a death. As long as you persist with treatment, there will be a day when you recover.

But now, looking back, Luo Yan realizes that she was wrong.

That's ridiculously wrong!

When a tree is rotten to the roots and diseased in every branch, it is no longer a question of whether or not the tree wants to be saved.

The question is whether it can be cured.

Even someone as powerful as the Great Venerable Lilong within the Heavenly Mystery Hall has switched to the demonic path.

Where are the others?
How many cultivators secretly switch to the demonic path?

"Perhaps the second body is right. Let's leave it at that. Let the mess of the Five Elements Sect explode completely."

"Given the current situation of the Five Elements Sect, let alone curing diseases and removing poisons, even scraping the bone to heal wounds probably wouldn't solve any problems."

"If it's going to fall, then let it fall. What can I do?" Luo Yan murmured, her feelings very complicated.

Once the Five Elements Sect is gone, it's as if his home in the True Spirit Realm is gone, and all his ties to the True Spirit Realm will be severed. (End of Chapter)
