"No, why are mortals unharmed?"
"It’s not just mortals; there is a small sect, secluded deep in the mountains, that has not embarked on the Immortal Dao nor been invaded by the strange material. This... how can it be?"
"This is not the Immortal Dao at all; this is a dead end, a dead end... the people of the world have taken the wrong path, the wrong path!" freёweɓnovel.com
The cultivators immersed in the grand dream of the Immortal Dao all awoke to the truth.
The tide receded, and the truth finally emerged, but the cost demanded was beyond what anyone could bear.
"Where can we go?"
"Dao Sect! The Daozhou where Dao Sect is located has no Immortal City; it is clean there!"
"Yes, the alarm bell of Dao Sect is ringing, they were right, they foresaw this catastrophe, they can certainly save us!"
On this day, the world, without a way out, finally remembered the Dao Sect, which they had scorned and abandoned for thousands of years, and surged towards Daozhou like refugees...
In fact, over the course of two thousand years, the territory governed by the Dao Sect in Daozhou has been shrinking.
Only about one-tenth of its original size remains.
After all, the encroachment of major forces, the coveting of newly emerged immortals... have forced the Dao Sect to keep retreating.
Yet now, Daozhou is indeed the last pure land in the world.
In the past, Daozhou was regarded as a place of backwardness and ignorance, with no Immortal Cities established, and even strict sect rules prohibiting disciples from using Immortal Dao Material or cultivating exotic Immortal Dao texts, which led to the increasing backwardness of the Dao Sect...
Now, the situation has completely reversed.
"Our sect is wise!"
"The false Immortal Path has finally failed, yet alas, it came too late, too late. Having held on for two thousand years, seeing justice finally upheld, but it was too late!"
"The creatures of the world are pouring in... what should we do? Immediately consult the Main Sect!"
On this day, many disciples of the Dao Sect were weeping in grief.
During the two thousand golden years, the Dao Sect remained silent, adhering faithfully to the ancient cultivation traditions, bearing immense pressure from top to bottom. Many geniuses defected from the sect, and many elders left with their followers... Those who remained, held their ground out of a passionate belief in and commitment to the Dao Sect.
Now, they finally understood that what they held on to was not wrong.
But unfortunately, it was too late, too late...
...
Dao Sect.
The alarm bell still tolled, yet it was so powerless, like a funeral dirge for the entire world.
In the main hall of Celestial Dao Peak, many Supreme Elders and Peak Masters of the Dao Sect sat in silence, silence enveloping them.
Daybreak had come, and illumination finally shone upon the Dao Sect, revealing right from wrong amidst the raging torrents of uncertainty.
But the night also fell, and the situation in the Spirit Realm was clear: the rift in the heavens had been opened by the Exotic Realm, and even if the Dao Sect exerted its full strength, it was unable to mend the heavenly crack.
"What do you all believe should be done at this juncture?"
Withered Fate, hair white as snow, like someone aged countless years, spoke with fatigue and despair.
His despondent gaze saw only faces mirroring his hopelessness.
Yes, the Dao Sect was right, but no one could find joy.
"Close off Daozhou, let no one in!"
A Peak Master clenched his fists, eyes bloodshot. "They ruined the Spirit Realm and still want the protection of our Dao Sect; where in the world is there such a good deal? Let them face the consequences themselves!"
"Yes, close off Daozhou—it is already difficult enough to protect the beings now present in Daozhou!"
"Their foolishness matches the suffering they endure!"
Many had a sense of sorrowful anger.
The role Dao Sect played... was indeed too pitiful.
They once roared with all their might, once tried everything to stop it, but the defense line built with the lives of countless disciples was broken by the world, and even the Heavenly Dao was torn open by the will of the beings...
"Li Supreme, what is your view?"
Taiqingzi turned to look at Li An.
The eyes of everyone present fell upon him; following his accurate prediction that this was the second great transformation of heaven and earth, he had gained true authority among the Supreme Elders.
Li An rose and bowed to all, saying, "If I am not mistaken, you should have already constructed many Transboundary Ships."
"Now that other forces, like the Brahma Sect and the Five Elements Sect, have already departed, the Dao Sect must act promptly—let the Dao Sect’s seeds leave immediately—"
"Then, lure the world’s people into Daozhou and annihilate them all at once—"
His words left everyone in shock.
Taiqingzi stared intently at Li An.
"The world made its own sins, so the world should bear them; they chose a dead end from the beginning..."
Li An slowly spoke, "Moreover, from my understanding of the Exotic Realm, those who are not dead today will suffer even more in the future, much more."
"I do not wish to see the creatures of this world reared as pigs without dignity."
To Li An, even if all the beings of the Spirit Realm perished, so what?
They brought it upon themselves.
Save them?
Dream on.
His suggestion to use Daozhou as a battlefield to annihilate all the world’s creatures was to plan for the future.
If more people die in Daozhou, the lands will become fertile in the future, making it easier to cultivate Spirit Medicine for the Exotic Realm. Moreover, he could take this opportunity to nurture a few fertile plots ahead of time, which might be useful for hiding after some strange events.
"Too ruthless."
"Inappropriate..."
All present at the Dao Sect could not help but shake their heads.
But Withered Fate stood up and said, "Do as Li An suggests—open Daozhou and let the world in!"
At these words, everyone was taken aback.
Withered Fate’s face was so grave. He said, "Prepare all Transboundary Ships for evacuation—"
