The fact that an Arhat who had lived for ten thousand years was scared into such a state.
What exactly happened?
Chen Jiuyang asked, "Old monk, what did you see?"
The Arhat trembled and said, "I saw ten thousand demons descend upon the world, their demonic energy shrouding the sky, and humanity became slaves."
"I saw the Lotus Birth Mother ascend to the Great Sage position, communicating with the immortal realm, and sitting alongside great demons."
"I saw the Lesser Thunderclap Temple suppressed, its incense-based methods becoming a channel for gods, demons, and monsters to connect with the heavenly court."
"They intended to lure the gods and immortals from the heavenly court to descend..."
A dignified Arhat at the Martial Saint level was so terrified, severely injured, and on the verge of death.
This was enough to show how terrifying the situation outside had become.
Not to mention anything else, an Arhat at the Martial Saint level was a dominant existence even in the Lesser Immortal Realm, and the foundation of a supreme power.
Living for ten thousand years meant attaining longevity.
Ming Huatong's face turned pale with fright.
Chen Jiuyang's expression turned serious.
While the five great sacred lands within the country were swept away, he had not expected the Heavenly Court to be able to establish a new base outside the Dragon Country.
And the Lesser Thunderclap Temple had become this black furnace.
It turned out his guess was correct.
The Arhat looked at Chen Jiuyang, a hint of pity in his eyes, "Benefactor Qianyang, I also saw something related to you."
Chen Jiuyang felt an inexplicable surge of irritability, "What is it?"
"It's..." The Arhat uttered a sentence that left Chen Jiuyang silent, finally saying, "That Lotus Birth Mother wants me to deliver a message to Benefactor Qianyang. Her plan from ten thousand years ago was a gamble on whether you would go."
After that, the dignified Arhat immediately died.
"Rumble!!!"
The heavens and earth roared, a trace of sorrow descended, and then the Arhat's body transformed into a brilliant light and dissipated.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
"Drip, drip!!!"
The brilliant light turned into dark clouds, showering spiritual rain that nourished the great Dao of heaven and earth.
Countless people were shocked: "This is... a cultivator at the Martial Saint level who has attained the Dao has fallen..."
"It's not that one... Does our Dragon Country still have other Martial Saint level beings???"
"He disappeared without a trace, and then he fell. What happened?"
The rain did not touch Chen Jiuyang within a thousand meters. Chen Jiuyang picked up a cup of tea, then put it down, and looked at Ming Huatong, "Do you know Lotus Birth's plan?"
Ming Huatong bit her lip and slowly shook her head, "Little sister does not know. Before my father went to the immortal realm, he told me to escape into the mortal world and reincarnate, otherwise, I would not escape the Granny's deadly clutches."
The tree wishes to be still, but the wind does not cease.
Chen Jiuyang couldn't help but sigh, "What a scheme, what a scheme, what a scheme."
"To have calculated to this day from tens of thousands of years ago. This old bastard has a truly great scheme."
"Forcing me to appear."
As he spoke, a chilling killing intent was mixed in his words.
To be honest, he had not felt killing intent towards anyone for a very, very long time.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the matter of the Human Emperor's path flourishing and then declining had triggered a killing tribulation.
He had not even felt killing intent then.
Chen Jiuyang said, "This great era is also deeply affected and entangled by the previous great world. If you wish to cultivate, you should follow the immortal path, recover your cultivation as soon as possible, and seek longevity."
"I can't even see through much of this chaotic world anymore."
Gong Liexian and Ming Huatong's memories had problems, as if a section had been deliberately erased.
Without a fortunate coincidence, if this Arhat had sought to fight Chen Jiuyang, Chen Jiuyang himself would not have known the truth.
"Alas..."
Chen Jiuyang sighed, "This grievance from tens of thousands of years ago should be settled today."
"Huatong, go back and cultivate. My martial arts school might have to close for a day or two."
Ming Huatong nodded slowly, her eyes flashing with sharp light, "Yes, Brother Chen."
Brother Chen had killing intent, but she didn't know what his current cultivation level was.
Even an Arhat at the Martial Saint level had died in the Granny's hands, leaving only a breath to deliver a message to Brother Chen.
She didn't ask if Chen Jiuyang was confident.
"Neizhu, go home and rest. The martial arts school will be temporarily closed for a day or two, or perhaps several days. I need to go out on business."
...
Imperial Capital.
Headquarters of the Protectorate.
Gong Liexian informed the current Protector and the Master of the Academy of the situation he learned from Chen Jiuyang.
This immediately caused the two of them to frown.
This was the disadvantage of losing information from the previous era; not knowing past secrets and not being prepared in advance.
"So... the forbidden zones of life... have such hidden secrets..."
"If that's the case, aren't these major forbidden zones our potential reinforcements?"
"Over the years, many sects have been deliberately suppressed by us to prevent martial artists from breaking the law. In this way... we must vigorously support various sects..."
A leaf blocking the view of Mount Tai, this was something everyone might encounter.
The Protectorate and the forces of Jixia Academy were extremely powerful, but they had a disadvantage: neither the Protector nor the Master could attain longevity, nor could they even exceed a lifespan of one hundred and twenty years.
This was the cycle of cause and effect of heaven and earth. By monopolizing a path, their power did not come from themselves, and their lifespan would be restrained by heaven and earth.
Because of this, many secrets of the Protectorate and Jixia Academy could not be passed down orally and were mostly recorded in books. It was precisely because of this that they were schemed against by the Lotus Birth Mother, causing these two major forces to lose their past over a long period.
The Protector sighed, "Fortunately, it's not too late to remedy it."
There was a hint of lingering fear in his tone.
Currently, there were many incidents of foreign gods causing trouble within Huaxia. They thought it was the other party trying to weaken the Protectorate's strength, but they didn't know that the other party's main goal was to sever the heritage of many domestic forces.
The Master said, "Immediately issue an order for all sects and forces within the country to come to the Imperial Capital Protectorate Headquarters, no, let them come to Jixia Academy."
"Also, issue an order to all universities to select some high-quality seedlings as candidates and send them to the sects for study."
This concerned the safety of Huaxia and could not be delayed or taken lightly, not even for a meeting to make a decision.
"Deliver this matter to the regional national defense leaders."
"Communicate with each other and release goodwill."
"From now on, we cannot casually send disciples from these sects to their deaths."
As leaders of the Protectorate and the Master of Jixia Academy, they had been suppressing various sects before, and the casualties were always heavier among the disciples of the sects during missions.
The Master said, "Order all regions to quickly eliminate the chaos caused by the gods."
The Protector said, "Jiuzhang, you and I should also get moving."
The Master said, "Naturally. Old Ancestor, please accompany us on an inspection tour to jointly eliminate the chaos."
Gong Liexian nodded, "I will not shirk my duty."
Suddenly.
They looked towards the direction of Qingzhu City and felt the demise of the Arhat, their expressions becoming solemn, "Someone at the Martial Saint level has fallen, who is it?"
In this era before the great world had fully emerged and the myriad Daos had not yet calmed down, Martial Saint level combat power was extremely rare.
Now, an unknown Martial Saint level combatant had fallen inexplicably, how could they not be solemn?
"This world has been peaceful for too long. It seems it's about to be thrown into chaos."
