Transcending two realms to become an earth immortal

The rising mist gently erased the remaining blood and chaos in the hall, instead bringing back a faint, lingering fragrance, like a ghostly night-blooming cereus under the moon, quietly spreading.

Xu Lingmiao nestled beside him, her expression gentle and harmless, the fierce killing intent she had shown earlier completely gone.

However, Fang Chen remained perfectly clear-headed. This woman was neither kind nor foolish.

Currently, she is only being controlled by flesh and blood; her spirit has not yet been truly subdued. Even if this woman is only a candidate, she is still connected to the legendary powerful Wusheng Laomu. However, if we are not on guard, she will surely suffer a backlash in the future and die without a burial place.

There may have been other time-traveling peers who underestimated the world and almost capsized in the gutter.

"We must first extract all their value before discarding them. During this process, we must never place our trust in them… However, that Red Lotus Karmic Fire Curse Seal might come in handy at a crucial moment…"

Fang Chen's eyes were deep and mysterious, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Speaking of which," he said after a moment of silence, finally voicing his doubts, "why have you White Lotus Sect members come to my estate? What are you plotting?"

He believed that although his last time travel involved clearing wasteland, it was not an earth-shattering act. Why would it attract the attention of this rebellious cult?

"You're such a heartless man. You were like that just now, and now you're heartless..." Xu Lingmiao rolled her eyes at him, then replied sweetly, "It was... a coincidence."

"accidental?"

"Hmm." Xu Lingmiao's voice was gentle. "We, the candidates for Holy Maiden, are ordered by the Sect Leader and the Three Yang Daoist Master to accompany our fellow disciples from various Xuanmen sects, including the [Asura Blood Demon Sect], the [Nine Corpse Demon God Sect], and the [Netherworld Fengdu Palace], to scatter throughout the world and lie in wait, secretly accumulating strength. We will only launch a fierce attack when the great calamity of heaven and earth arises, breaking through the human law networks of each prefecture and establishing our Xuanmen's orthodoxy in the world!"

"A great calamity...?" Fang Chen frowned slightly.

Is there a powerful being in this world, and is there such a calamity?

Xu Lingmiao nodded slightly:

"My lord, you may not know this, but the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhou, and Jin have all lasted for over two hundred years, and their fates are nearing their end. Natural disasters are frequent, leaving the land barren and desolate; man-made calamities are rampant, with corpses of the starving littering the fields. The dragon's energy is dissipating, the government is corrupt, demons openly roam, and evil spirits are secretly breeding. These are signs of the end of a dynasty and the imminent collapse of the dynasty."

"Not to mention that during this great calamity, there are rumors within the sect that the emperors of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld have also intervened for some reason."

Therefore, this calamity is likely not just an ordinary dynastic change, but a universal catastrophe that will sweep across the entire cultivation world and even shake the very foundations of heaven and earth!

"Therefore, all the powerful families and clans of the world, the Taoist sects of the Three Mountains, our Xuan Sect, and the wandering immortals overseas are secretly making plans, and our White Lotus Holy Sect is no exception. All this is to seize the initiative when the calamity descends, to weather the disaster, and to ascend to the highest position!"

At this point, her tone turned solemn:

"The religion has received a decree from the Holy Mother that a savior will be born to respond to this great calamity, cleanse the world of its filth and evil, and establish a pure land in this defiled world to universally save all sentient beings from suffering."

"Therefore, our sect has already started an uprising in Yuzhou in the north, preaching and spreading our teachings, secretly rallying refugees, and spreading the sacred flame along both banks of the Yellow River, igniting the flames of war. We vow to burn away the corruption of this old world, overthrow the mandate of heaven, and create an unprecedented... earthly kingdom!"

When the topic turned to Bai Lian, Xu Lingmiao's face lit up with fervor.

Then, as if remembering something, his expression subtly changed, and he revealed a secret:

"However, at the time of the uprising in the North, the [Red Sun Daoist Master], whose cultivation had reached the level of a Yang God True Lord and could be considered a wandering immortal in the mortal realm, observed the North with supreme secret methods and glimpsed a sliver of heavenly secrets... It turned out that the severe drought that had plagued the North for years, leaving the land parched and scorched, was not an ordinary drought, but rather the presence of a ferocious corpse demon, suspected to be a descendant of an ancient drought demon, lurking in the earth's veins, about to break free and wreak havoc on the human world!"

"If this monster were to emerge, its ferocity would surely cause an imbalance of water and air across the land, disrupting the balance of yin and yang, and resulting in a devastating drought that would sweep across the world and last for decades. At that time, the land would be barren, rivers would dry up, lakes and seas would run dry, people would suffer, corpses would fill the fields, and resentment would rise to the heavens."

"This overwhelming resentment can completely destroy the remaining dragon energy of the three great dynasties, suppress all the Taoist sects, and clear away obstacles for the descent of the Ming King and the opening of the Taoist kingdom on earth."

"Therefore, Daoist Hongyang, having reached a point of extreme stillness, sought to act. He persuaded the powerful figures of the Nine Corpse Demonic Path and the Asura Demonic Sect, among other Xuanmen (mysterious sects), to join him in a journey to the depths of the North, seeking to find the unborn Corpse Demon, either to subdue and control it using secret methods, or to directly refine it into a supreme demon god, thereby influencing the course of the world!"

"As for us, the various factions of the Xuanmen Holy Sect, we are ordered by our respective sect leaders to scatter throughout the world, waiting for Master Hongyang and the other Xuanmen giants to refine that seed, which is suspected to be a descendant of the ancient drought demon, into an unparalleled demon god, breaking through the dragon aura of the dynasty and the net of human law, and then unleashing an endless calamity!"

"No, the battles in this world... are they this intense?!" This was the thought that popped into Fang Chen's mind after hearing this secret.

In that demon-tainted and turbid world, the realm of the Yang God was already a legend, known only by name. Even those mysterious beings at the Yang God level on the floating islands had almost never set foot in Dao City.

Yet here in this pure and serene mortal realm, these Yang God True Lords are actually making their appearance directly, and it is suspected that there are Primordial Immortals descending to earth behind them. Even the Heavenly Court and the Underworld Emperors are at odds with them, and they intend to unleash a great calamity...

Could it be that all the upper positions in this world have been occupied and there is no hope for the future, so all the powerful beings can only fight downwards, causing a great calamity in order to change the situation?

Fang Chen was not surprised by the occurrence of the great calamity.

After all, wherever there are people, there will be conflict; fate is inevitable.

Not to mention that if this place were truly a stagnant pool of water, where would he find the [Earth Vein Spiritual Root] and [Immortal Abode Treasures] that could enhance his cultivation and replenish his essence?

Where else can one find a sacred mountain or blessed land to comprehend the profound mysteries of the "Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands" and the "Divine Realm" that relate to the path of the Earth Immortal?

It is important to understand that danger and opportunity coexist.

What was that saying again?

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!

However, this calamity came too suddenly and too violently for Fang Chen.

Even the Yang Shen True Lord, a high-ranking immortal emperor with profound spiritual cultivation, might have to join the fray...

"only……"

For some unknown reason, Fang Chen had a strange feeling and began to have doubts.

Recalling the description just now, the White Lotus Sect's scheme... it wasn't that he underestimated Yang Shen Zhenjun, but rather that such a peerless and ferocious demon, who bore the bloodline of the ancient drought demon, could truly be suppressed by an ordinary loose immortal-level demon lord joining forces?

You should know that this kind of demon...

The thought had just arisen, and he was about to ask when the two people inside seemed to sense it from afar. Their expressions suddenly changed, and they abruptly rushed outside.

But deep within the universe, the sky had become cloudless, leaving only a faint crimson hue.

The vital energy of the heavens and earth's water sources rapidly dwindled, and an indescribable malevolent force pressed down from the northern sky, causing all things to tremble in fear!

"this……"

Fang Chen and Xu Lingmiao both had solemn expressions, and there was a hint of shock in their eyes.

This is because it is a harbinger of an impending great calamity, an ominous sign of the impending arrival of the Corpse Demon!
