Chapter 560: Chapter 279: Monarch’s Ascendancy

Li’an Hall, Chu Xuan sits at the top position and continues to listen to Yao Yufei’s report.

"Since the respected lord has decided to go, we will give it our all, definitely not allowing those righteous trash to block your path."

"Should we force our way in as soon as the secret mansion opens, or wait until the last day?"

Chu Xuan replied without hesitation, "Let unrelated forces go in first to avoid mistaken injuries during conflicts, and also to prevent anyone from muddying the waters. Once the place is cleared up enough, we’ll make a breakthrough."

Yao Yufei nods, "After the secret mansion entrance closes, it will reappear after a seven-day limit, at a randomly switched location, so there’s no need to worry about anyone ambushing."

"So we just need to focus on this battle ahead."

Chu Xuan asks again, "How is the situation with the spreading calamity now?"

Yao Yufei sighs, "It’s escalating, if this continues, it will affect us, and we might even have to abandon [Left God’s Void Heaven]..."

According to her, the increasingly spreading calamity in recent years has led to chaos in the human world, with rampant killings. Armies across the nine provinces have raised their banners in rebellion, claiming that the emperor is unjust, heaven punishes, the heavens have died, the yellow heaven shall rise!

Even more troublesome is that people everywhere are preaching the end times, and various cults are springing up endlessly, with the most common being those using "Seven Kills Daoist," "Seven Kills Demoness" to propagate, which have even flowed into the mortal realm, forming various sects like "Red Lotus Sect," "Killing Gate," "No-Birth Mother."

They share a common trait, proclaiming their deities can save humanity, allow them to survive this world-ending disaster, and only by believing in them can they step into a new world and attain immortality after the collapse of the human world.

Both the immortal cultivation world and mortal dynasties are greatly troubled by this.

Initially, Chu Xuan was puzzled, thinking Qin Mengyao was using the power of the Celestial Alliance to preach everywhere, even Yao Yufei secretly supporting from behind.

Upon inquiry, he realized that his senior sister has been quite honest over the years, staying in the Dao Palace and focusing on cultivation without stepping outside.

However, for some reason, her faith has spread wider over the years, and her followers have been snowballing in number.

To say the least, even after the Celestial Alliance merged with her zealots, many cultivators who haven’t seen Qin Mengyao have become her devout followers, praying to her statue every day, claiming that after praying, not only is their mind calmed but even their cultivation speed accelerates.

Yao Yufei frowns deeply, "In short, it’s very unusual. Major forces in the immortal cultivation world have already taken note of this anomaly, but surprisingly, everyone is maintaining silence, with no one daring to confront Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace."

"Hold on, that accelerated cultivation effect, is it real or fake?" Chu Xuan asks incredulously.

Yao Yufei nods solemnly, "I dare not try it myself, but those under me have tried, and there is indeed an effect, though very subtle."

"It’s said the more devout the faith, the better the effect, some fanatical believers even claim to visualize the ’Mother’ and hear the voice of the ’Mother.’

"Fortunately, she doesn’t support blood sacrifices, otherwise with her growing influence, a word from her could plunge the human world into chaos."

"It’s currently maintained in a delicate state where believers are engrossed, non-believers are fearful."

Chu Xuan furrows his brow, muttering to himself, "To encompass an entire world’s fate so easily, there must be higher-level forces driving this, no wonder no one dares to stir up trouble at Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace."

Many probably believe the rumor, about ’Born of fate, achieving the final Immortal position through killing.’

Now they’re too busy currying favor with Qin Mengyao to dare cause her any trouble.

Chu Xuan’s main worry now is that once the momentum of faith solidifies, a large amount of Incense Fire Will Power will flood to his senior sister. Can she maintain her composure? Otherwise she’ll easily be swayed by this enormous power, even her disposition could change.

Forget it, once the Celestial Pool Secret Mansion affair is over, I’ll visit the Dao Palace to see my senior sister.

With his mind made up, Chu Xuan instructs Yao Yufei to prepare to set out immediately.

After all, the Demon Sect is located in the northern territory, heading to the western territory takes time. Thankfully, the mid-low-level cultivators have set off in advance, so there’s no concern of falling behind.

Before setting off, Chu Xuan turns to look at Qingqing. Before he speaks, Qingqing warily says, "You’re not thinking of leaving me behind, are you?"

"Over the years, I’ve been diligently cultivating, now I have Fifth Realm cultivation, I won’t drag you down."

Chu Xuan chuckles, "No, this time might be quite dangerous, so I don’t plan to bring Xiaoxue into ’Green Emperor Heaven’ where the secret mansion is located. Can I leave her under your care?"

"Xiaoxue’s face changes color, "How can this be? This time is so dangerous, Shangguan Yu that guy might truly show up."

Chu Xuan gives her a half-smile, "Can Xiaoxue protect me?"

Ji Mingyu’s face turns red, "I, you, Xiaoxue..."

Qingqing pouts, "Then you really want to leave me behind."

"Once I enter Green Emperor Heaven, the Profound Celestial Sect probably won’t be motivated enough to obstruct Celestial Alliance anymore, unless they choose to miss the opportunity to explore the secret realm just to go at us relentlessly.

"That’s unlikely. You can stay with your mother and enter with the main force too. Perhaps we’ll have a chance to meet inside."

Qingqing nods in agreement upon hearing this, "Then you must be careful on your own. I’ve heard the Celestial Pool Secret Mansion can be very dangerous."
