Chapter 1348: Chapter 1345: Merging of the Cave Heavens (First Update)

Demon-Sealing Town.

The corpses have all been buried peacefully. Xing Yushu specially extracted a large stele from the mountains, using a vermilion brush to write down all the names.

People from the various great sects gathered together to bid farewell to the residents of this small town, a grand occasion unprecedented.

After all matters were settled, everyone’s gaze naturally turned towards Xue An, eager to see what arrangements he would make next.

Now, Xue An was unquestionably the leading authority in this realm, and no one dared to express the slightest doubt towards him.

The strong from the major sects were full of awe for Xue An, not only because of his strength but, more importantly, because he came from the place where the founding ancestors established various sects.

Only a place as mysterious and inscrutable as the Origin Land of Dao could cultivate a strong individual like him!

Many silently sighed in their hearts.

Xue An’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces, then he said lightly, "Do you know why the spiritual power in this realm has become so turbulent?"

Everyone was stunned, then collectively shook their heads.

Only the Sword Control elder of Mingxin Palace slightly frowned and solemnly said, "My lord, although I don’t know why this realm has become like this, from the sect’s ancient texts, it wasn’t like this at the very beginning of the sect’s founding!"

"Oh?" Xue An’s eyes brightened slightly, knowing that although this Sword Control elder wasn’t extremely strong, he was well-read and brilliant. Since he said so, there must be a basis.

"Continue!" Xue An said lightly.

"Yes!" Sword Control took a deep breath, then said slowly, "Years ago, when the seven great revered ones came to this realm, they found demon ghosts rampant, and the people were in misery. To protect the peace, they established the seven great sects, which is how the sects originated!"

"And according to the records, although this realm was haunted by demon ghosts at the time of the sect’s founding, the righteous path was not flourishing. But there was never any record of spiritual power disruption, not until three thousand years ago when everything suddenly became peculiar!"

"Three thousand years ago..." Xue An murmured softly, his expression somewhat odd.

"Correct!" Sword Control paused, then continued.

"When the spiritual power first became chaotic, all cultivators suffered significant losses, and the founding ancestors of the sects fell one after another during that time! This chaos persisted for five hundred years until the cultivators adapted to the turmoil of heaven and earth, finally suppressing and driving away the demon ghosts who rose amid the chaos!"

"But starting from that time, the strength of the cultivators in this realm suddenly fell drastically, which is why the Demon Empress mocked our Mingxin Palace’s low strength! In fact, not only our Mingxin Palace, but the strength of the seven great sects cannot compare to the early days of the sects’ founding!"

Sword Control’s voice turned somewhat bitter, and all the experts from the sects wore expressions of gloom.

How they longed for the flourishing scenes recorded in the sect’s texts!

If possible, they would also prefer not to scheme against each other every day just to compete for some vain prestige.

It’s just that they all face an unavoidable reality: there is a ceiling for this realm for them as cultivators!

When there is no road ahead, even the strongest might feel weary!

After listening to Sword Control’s words, Xue An remained silent until after a long pause, he nodded slightly.

"I understand, but the root of all this clearly doesn’t lie in this realm but in the neighboring ghost realm!"

Everyone was astonished, and unprecedented light burst forth in Sword Control’s eyes, "My lord, I have this suspicion as well!"

Yet his eyes quickly dimmed again.

"But even if we know, what can we do? The ghost realm is vast beyond measure, and even the founding ancestors of the sects dared not delve deeply into it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone also showed expressions of gloom.

Indeed!

Although they have never entered the ghost realm, being so intimately connected with it, they all know something about its situation to some extent.

Rumor has it that it’s one of the most bizarre places among The Multiverse, vast and boundless, even ranking among the top three in The Multiverse.

Moreover, formidable figures constantly emerge there, with numerous enigmatic powerhouses beyond count!

In short, the depth of its waters is considerable!

Don’t look at how domineering the arriving Demon Empress seemed, but in the ghost realm, she may only be at the level of an ordinary passerby.

Thus, even knowing the root issue lies in the ghost realm, they hold no hope.

Xue An, however, shook his head with a smile and said to Sword Control.

"You are both right and not right. At least those Hua Clan predecessors did not merely establish the seven great sects here solely for the peace of this realm!"

Sword Control’s eyes widened as he suddenly thought of something, saying tremblingly, "Do you mean...?"

Xue An nodded, "What do you think makes the ghost realm so vast?"

The crowd caused a stir, with many people’s complexions pale at the thought of a terrifying fact.

Xue An said lightly, "The Ghost Race is quite an unusual existence among the myriad races of The Multiverse, their invasiveness extremely strong, so over countless ages, they annexed one world after another, ultimately achieving such vast expanse!"

There was silence on the entire scene until, after a long while, Sword Control said hoarsely, "But my lord, why has there been no mention of this ghost realm for thousands of years...?"

Xue An waved his hand, "Very simple, because later, a genius of unparalleled talent emerged in the ghost realm, with an extremely far-sighted vision, which is why the Ghost Race faced significant constraints! Unfortunately..."

A flash of brilliance appeared in Xue An’s eyes, yet he did not specify what was unfortunate but rather said lightly, "The disturbances in spiritual power are the Ghost Race’s encroachment upon this realm’s origin, and now as the turmoil intensifies, it’s clear that the Ghost Race is eager to try!"

Everyone’s faces turned exceedingly grim because they could naturally sense the increasing disorder and violence of the world’s spiritual power.

If what Xue An said is true, then a great calamity is evidently imminent.

Just think, even dealing with a single Demon Empress had been so troublesome; if the Ghost Race truly launched a full invasion, what a miserable situation it would be?

Everyone’s hearts sank to the bottom.

Shi Jian saw this and shouted sternly, "We sword cultivators were born to fight battles! Why fear death? If fear arises in our hearts because of this, how could we still be worthy of the Sword Intent within us?"

These words were like a heavy hammer, awakening the perplexed minds of Mingxin Palace and the many Sword Dao loose cultivators.

Shi Jian then turned around, bowing respectfully to Xue An, "My lord, since the Ghost Race intends to invade again, what do you think we should do next?"

Hearing Shi Jian’s question, the eyes of the many sects’ strongmen lit up.

Indeed!

Since my lord has said so, he must have a way to respond, right?

Unknowingly, many people have already regarded Xue An as a deity, even believing that there’s nothing he cannot accomplish.

Xue An smiled faintly, "Actually, the method is quite simple: your forces are scattered across the seven great sects; relying on one sect alone, you naturally can’t cope! So, the plan now is for you seven great sects to unite as one!"
