Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree

"Mahayana Stage downfall!"

"Demon Venerable Xuan Yin..."

Within the Wenda Sect, Master Huan Yu’s expression was extremely grim.

The appearance of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin caught him completely off guard.

Even with Master Huan Yu’s extensive knowledge, he never imagined that the Taiyuan Realm harbored such a terrifying powerhouse.

The origins of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin.

Master Huan Yu was unclear.

However, judging by the means by which the other could kill Blood Transformation Ancestor and Master Gu Ming, one’s strength was evident.

"Latest news reports that Demon Venerable Xuan Yin has destroyed several sects, all living beings perished, their essence blood forcibly refined and extracted, leaving everywhere he passed as a Ghost Realm.

We attempted to send cultivators to communicate, but they were all slain on the spot by Demon Venerable Xuan Yin.

From the looks of it, he clearly intends to slaughter all living beings!"

Daoist Yu Hua’s face was heavy; no one foresaw the emergence of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, and his actions now mirrored those of the Celestial Demon Sacred Land from the past.

No.

To be precise.

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s actions were even more appalling than the Celestial Demon Sacred Land’s back then.

The Celestial Demon Sacred Land, while employing extermination tactics, at least left a sliver of a chance for those who surrendered first, allowing them to preserve their lives.

However.

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was different.

He conducted complete annihilation tactics.

Whether you surrendered or not, there were no survivors.

"If necessary, use the token I once gave you, which can contact a ninth-tier force. Perhaps they can resolve the Xuan Yin problem.

However, hastily contacting an external force poses significant risks, so it should not be done lightly until the final moment.

No matter how that reincarnated Mahayana exists within the Taiyuan Realm, let’s assess the situation first. No matter how strong Demon Venerable Xuan Yin is, he cannot truly be invincible in this world.

When other reincarnated Mahayana can no longer remain idle, they will naturally confront him in battle. Also, I must leave for a period to quickly seek opportunities to break through the Mahayana Stage!"

Master Huan Yu said.

He still grasped several ancient Secret Realms, but each posed significant risks, and even with Master Huan Yu’s current strength, he was not confident about retreating unscathed.

Thus.

Master Huan Yu had always refrained from entering these Secret Realms.

But now.

Master Huan Yu understood that the time genuinely left to him was running out.

The emergence of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin had completely surpassed his control.

Only by quickly breaking through to the Mahayana Stage and achieving Nine Tribulations Perfection could he genuinely resolve the current issue.

In such circumstances, Master Huan Yu could only take a risky gamble.

"All these years, I’ve grown far too complacent, losing the aggressiveness that should come with cultivation, which is originally about struggling against the heavens. Constantly seeking stability instead deviates from its original intent!"

Master Huan Yu’s heart sparked with enlightenment, as if breaking through an obstacle, moving forward once again in the Tribulation Stage, though not breaking through to the mid-Tribulation.

However, this also saved considerable time from arduous cultivation.

For a long time.

In order to avoid calamities, Master Huan Yu had been hiding and cultivating within the Wenda Sect, hoping to stably cultivate to the Mahayana Stage, and then achieve perfection across Nine Tribulations to ascend to a higher level.

Yet——

In reality.

If calamities are truly to descend, mere evasion will not result in success.

On the contrary.

To genuinely overcome calamities, one must face them head-on.

Master Huan Yu, having reached his current state, had in every past life retained the aggressive pursuit, allowing him to surpass other reincarnated Mahayana and achieve Nine Reincarnations.

Regrettably.

When the ninth life arrived, success was within reach, yet Master Huan Yu instead hesitated.

The closer he got to success, the more he feared failure.

This mentality invisibly impacted, inevitably creating inner demons over time, a fact Master Huan Yu hadn’t realized previously.

Not until now.

He finally came to an epiphany.

On the other hand, Daoist Yu Hua witnessed these changes and immediately rejoiced: "Congratulations, Master Ancestor, on advancing your cultivation; reaching Mahayana is only a matter of time!"

"Just a bit of insight, nothing more. The appearance of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin is likely the tribulation I must face; Nine Tribulations Reincarnation itself defies the heavens.

Each reincarnation faces a tribulation much more formidable than the last; now, as my Nine Tribulations Reincarnation nears perfection, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin is my final tribulation.

If I overcome this tribulation, I will certainly attain immortality, reaching that supreme celestial realm, but if I fail, nine lifetimes of arduous cultivation will turn to naught.

The situation has reached a point where I cannot afford the slightest hesitation or retreat; for now, Sect Master, you must manage the sect’s affairs. Until I break through the Mahayana, I’m afraid I won’t be able to provide any help!"

Master Huan Yu first smiled, then spoke with solemnity.

Daoist Yu Hua nodded earnestly: "Rest assured, Master Ancestor, I will defend the Wenda Sect to my last breath!"

"Yes, if things truly become untenable, then temporarily evade the threat. The Taiyuan Realm is not unique; there are countless worlds across the starry sky, and surely a place for the Wenda Sect to survive!"

"I understand, but until the final moment, I refuse to abandon the legacy of our predecessors!"

Daoist Yu Hua understood Master Huan Yu’s intent, but he was unwilling to relinquish the sect’s foundation until the last moment, leading the entire Wenda Sect into the starry sky in search of survival.

To this.

Master Huan Yu did not insist.

After all, matters had not yet escalated to such a degree, and there was still room for maneuver.
