Chapter 495 - 419: Mysterious Black Mist, Domain Master Personally Takes Action
"The Nine-Colored Altar has cracked."
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Ningxian’s expression slightly changed.
Yet she didn’t understand what was happening, and couldn’t help but speak.
"Isn’t this altar recorded as some sort of passage?"
"Why is there the power of Outer Celestial Demons, could it be that they can emerge from the altar?"
As a Holy Daughter, Jiang Ningxian was naturally knowledgeable, so upon seeing such a situation,
her heart was instantly filled with various thoughts and doubts, but she couldn’t be sure of anything.
"What if this altar is not just a passage, but also a seal?"
At this moment, Lu Yuan spoke, continuing, "It’s a seal of the method that keeps the Outer Celestial Demons from entering this world, and now, this seal is damaged."
He voiced his suspicions, and upon hearing this, Jiang Ningxian’s face couldn’t help but change slightly.
Because if it were true, once the seal was completely destroyed,
those Outer Celestial Demons would be able to descend.
"I remember, the Nine-Colored Altar shouldn’t be the only one."
Jiang Ningxian’s eyes turned solemn, appearing very serious.
The two of them exchanged glances and understood what the other wanted to say.
At once, they did not hesitate and decided to leave the Kunlun Secret Realm.
Then head to Shennongjia and the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum to see if there were any changes.
For the current Lu Yuan, venturing into those Secret Realms was not difficult.
So he visited almost all the Nine-Colored Altars that he could recall.
At that time,
he also discovered that every single Nine-Colored Altar had cracks.
Black mist, the power of Outer Celestial Demons, was emanating from within them.
More importantly, some of the cracks on the altars were very large, seemingly ready to explode at any moment.
Clearly, this situation had been ongoing for some time.
Lu Yuan tried but couldn’t repair them at all.
In other words,
the Outer Celestial Demons were bound to appear.
It’s just that he couldn’t determine when because there was no reference point.
"What should we do?" Jiang Ningxian also felt confused, such existences were only ever recorded in ancient texts, and no one knew what they really looked like, let alone herself.
Not even her father had ever faced such a situation; after all, who knows how long it had been.
Even the information was fragmented, so how to respond?
"The best course of action now is to inform your father."
"At the same time, have him find out why the leaders of those two great powers went to the Cosmic Edge Wilderness."
Lu Yuan still felt this was closely related to the Ji Family and the Eternal Race.
If more information were available, combining them could lead to many deductions.
"Mm." Jiang Ningxian understood.
Now, this was the only way, and the matter could not be rushed.
After probing for a while longer, they chose to leave.
Returning to Tai Mountain.
Jiang Ningxian informed Jiang Huanyun and her clan members of her discoveries.
As for Lu Yuan, he used the God-Conferring Decree to bestow titles on some individuals.
With enough Power of Destiny now, he could accomplish many things; ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Celestial Generals were not difficult.
And the reason for not bestowing titles on a large scale was simple, sometimes, more people were not necessarily better, the key was whether they could be effective, like Zhu Qingyu and others.
He had been waiting until he could fully harness that Power of Destiny; in this way,
the benefits they would receive would be greater, otherwise, it would be a waste.
However, recent variables were indeed too large.
First, the leaders of the two great powers went to the Cosmic Edge Wilderness, and later, changes in the Nine-Colored Altar were discovered.
All of these indicate that what was about to happen would be quite unusual.
Unconsciously, Lu Yuan felt even his current strength was insufficient.
After all,
even an existence like Guang Chengzi treated the situation seriously and seemed to have perished in that great battle.
Lu Yuan didn’t feel that, with his current cultivation level, he could surpass the other.
"But no matter what, we must take it slowly."
Finally, he sighed.
No matter what, such things can’t be achieved overnight.
The urgency was only because the events came too suddenly.
Now, without any information, it was a matter of taking things one step at a time.
Of course, Lu Yuan’s nature was never about passively accepting situations.
He also began issuing orders to the Celestial Court Followers.
Sending them to various places for training.
This world was being revitalized.
There were many Secret Realms yet to be fully explored, perfect for empowering them.
This way, it would allow them to get used to such matters early; Lu Yuan had a feeling that if Outer Celestial Demons really descended, relying solely on his strength might not suffice.
But despite this, Lu Changge also thought that he must constantly enhance his strength.
And time was passing bit by bit.
Lu Yuan relied on the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Order,
to confer titles on some, while infusing Zhu Qingyu and the Golden-winged Rocs with more Power of Destiny.
The purpose was very simple, to enable them to reach the Immortal Realm as soon as possible; only then could they truly be considered strong entities.
However, he slightly overestimated the effectiveness of the Power of Destiny; even with powerful infusions,
the Immortal Realm was, after all, the Immortal Realm.
Zhu Qingyu and the Beast Kings wanting to reach that level was simply impossible.
At least not in the short term, because not everyone could be like Lu Yuan.
He couldn’t demand it forcefully, only saying that he would do his best.
Jiang Haokong and Jiang Ningxian, the sibling pair,
were also cultivating, occasionally entering seclusion.
Since they seemed to have sensed the danger in the process.
Knowing they needed greater strength and cultivation to cope.
However, for these two,
trying to reach the Grotto Heaven Immortal level in a short time was indeed highly challenging.
As the saying goes, entering the Immortal Realm, every step is difficult, or else, how could such individuals be deemed strong?
During this time, Lu Yuan also inquired about the matters concerning the Eternal Race and the Ji Family lineage, regarding the two Domain Masters, wanting to know why they went to the Cosmic Border.
Regrettably, even with the power of the Jiang family, they couldn’t find out temporarily.
The two great powers seemed to be deliberately concealing the matter.
Even low-ranking clan members weren’t aware of it.
The only thing to do, seemingly, was to head to the Cosmic Border themselves.
But such matters weren’t something just anyone dared to undertake.
The universe was vast; only the truly top-tier entities could traverse it freely.
It’s not about being afraid of getting lost, but there are many secrets in the starry sky, who knows what might be encountered.
And eventually, Jiang Ningxian brought back news that her father, the head of the Jiang family, and the Domain Master of the Desolate Flame Star Realm, would personally head to the Cosmic Border.
Because he also heard about the Outer Celestial Demons and knew it was a matter of great significance.
For this reason, he had to personally go and see what the matter was.
