Chapter 729: Chapter 725: The Three Calamities Chapter 729: Chapter 725: The Three Calamities “How is the Heavenly Court's old department preparing?” asked the white-robed old Taoist.

“The majority of the remaining heavenly soldiers and generals have returned to our control. The Underworld is beyond repair and there's no one left capable of doing anything significant. The Four Seas Dragon Palaces were previously attacked, with the Southern Sea, Northern Sea, and Western Sea already obliterated. The remaining forces have all escaped to the Eastern Sea and we are already in contact with them,” the Silver Armored Man said in response.

“The Eastern Sea… Wasn't it also besieged by Demon Peng's troops before, with a situation even more dangerous than the other three Seas Dragon Palaces? How come they have managed to turn from danger to safety now?” the Yellow-robed Man questioned.

“What, are you displeased that we, the former Heavenly Court, still have strength remaining?” Hearing the words, the Silver Armored Man snorted disdainfully.

“Hmph, we all understand the strength of Demon Peng. Do you believe that they could resist with only the power of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace?” The Yellow-robed Man retorted with a cold snort.

“Isn't it the disaster that was nurtured by your Western Buddha Land?” The Silver Armored Man became even angrier at the comment.

During the year when the Heavenly Court was breached, Demon Peng was extremely powerful, with countless heavenly soldiers and generals losing their lives to him.

Listening to the discord among the two, Shen Luo pieced together their comments along with what was said previously, understanding that the Silver Armored Man represented the old forces of the Heavenly Court, and the Yellow-robed Man seemed to come from the Western Buddha Land.

“The two Daoist friends, what is the point of arguing about this?” The white-robed old Taoist asked.

His tone was steady, without any emotional fluctuations, but he was the one who could suppress the anger that had sparked between the two.

“I am just worried, has the Eastern Sea which was turned from danger to safety, still at the command of the Heavenly Court?” The Yellow-robed Man said in a calm manner.

The meaning behind his words was that he was worried that the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace may have surrendered to the Demon Clan in order to survive.

“You…” The Silver Armored Man was furious.

“Both of you calm down, I happened to receive some news. Demon Peng was severely injured in the battle of the Heavenly Court. It is likely that the Pagoda Heavenly King left some trump card during his final battle with it, which eventually led to the downfall of Demon Peng. After that, there were some upheavals in the Eastern Sea. It is said that the Eldest Princess was imprisoned, and the Old Dragon King passed away. The former Ninth Prince has become the new Dragon King.” The white-robed old Taoist calmly explained.

“So much has happened…” The Yellow-robed Man muttered in surprise.

The Silver Armored Man also seemed to have just learned of these secrets and couldn't help but sink into contemplation.

Although Shen Luo's face showed no emotion, his heart was a sea of stormy waves. These events were the deepest secrets of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. Who exactly was this white-robed old Daoist, who could know so much?

He was even more curious about whether his own identity had been discovered by him?

However, after speaking those words, the old Daoist did not mention it anymore. He didn't say anything about Shen Luo, and he didn't know whether the dragon palace had completely sealed the news about him, or the old Daoist was hiding something.

Later, the three discussed some other deployment plans, and Shen Luo just listened quietly, without uttering a word.

Finally, the white-robed old Daoist began to speak, “You don't know how we hold meetings, right?”

Shen Luo shook his head.

“Due to some reasons, we can't meet too often, and we will not communicate with each other unless necessary. When the meeting is needed, one person would send an invitation to others through the Heavenly Book Fragments. After receiving the invitation, one would need to enter the Heavenly Book Broken Land within half an hour. This time, the proposer is me,” explained the white-robed old Taoist.

“May I ask the elder how to use the Heavenly Book Fragments to send out invitations?” Shen Luo questioned.

“It seems that you have gotten the fragment for a short time, and you don't understand the mysterious use of the Heavenly Book. Never mind, I will brief you on it.” The white-robed old Taoist slightly hesitated and spoke.

Upon saying this, the old Taoist raised his hand and slowly opened a fragmentary image of the Heavenly Book above his head. The image contained the names of heavenly soldiers and generals and various heavenly spirits, but these names were covered by floating lights. No matter how hard Shen Luo tried, he couldn't see them clearly.

At the very end of the fragment, there were three imprints, shining with slight light.

For the Silver Armored Man and the Yellow-robed Man, it was followed by three identical marks on their Heavenly Book Fragments.

“Could it be that this mark is the key to the invitation?” Shen Luo questioned.

“Exactly. As long as we leave marks on each other's Heavenly Book, we can invite others by using the mark after entering this space,” the Silver Armored Man affirmed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo hesitated a little. He then activated his own Heavenly Book Fragment.

Seeing this, the three raised their thumbs and pressed them into the void. A strand of divine soul flowed out and was imprinted on the Heavenly Book Fragment.

With one look, Shen Luo also learned the method and left his mark on their Heavenly Book Fragments in the same way.

“The time in this Heavenly Book Broken Land where we are staying is stagnant, but that doesn't mean we can stay here indefinitely. In fact, we can only stay here for a very limited time each time, with a maximum of only three two-hour periods. So, if you have any questions you want to know, you should ask right away,” the white-robed old Taoist continued.

“Elder, can we exchange things in this Heavenly Book Broken Land?” Shen Luo asked.

He had tried to take out his Pure Yang Sword Embryo previously, and he didn't know if he could exchange it with others.

“Even though we seem to share the same room, there's some differences. It's not difficult to exchange things here, but it does need some mana,” the white-robed old Taoist said.

“I see, I have learned a lot… I have one more question that I hope to ask,” Shen Luo said, suddenly recalling something.

“Just speak,” the Yellow-robed Man said.

“May I ask, what is the 'Three Disasters'?” Shen Luo asked seriously.

“Are you really a disciple of Mount Fangcun? How do you not even know what the 'Three Disasters' are?” The Silver Armored Man sounded rather cold.

Shen Luo had already expected them to ask this, and he immediately answered:

“I entered the sect very late, and on the day of the sect's annihilation, I didn't even have the chance to fight the Demon Clan, and so I was able to survive up to now. Some of the sect's secret skills have not been completed, let alone increasing this kind of knowledge?”

Upon hearing this, the three fell silent for a while before accepting his answer.

“Before the Demon Clan eradicated the world, these Three Disasters are the common enemy of all cultivators, regardless of whether they are humans, demons, spirits, Meis, or ghosts. Once they cultivate to the True Immortal Realm, their lifespan becomes unlimited.”

Hearing this, Shen Luo sighed inwardly.

Does that mean if he reaches that state in the real world, he won't fear the death claim in his Jade Pillow Dream anymore?

“However, this act goes against the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, and it's an act of stealing the creation of Heaven and Earth. It's not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, a disaster will fall every five hundred years, which are the Thunder Disaster, Fire Disaster, and Wind Disaster,” the White-robed old Taoist said.

“May I ask, what is the Thunder Disaster, Fire Disaster, and Wind Disaster?” Shen Luo asked in confusion.
