Chapter 521
Ever since the conclusion of the high-level meeting at the Grand Dao Sect, this mysterious plague has spread throughout the mountain gates at an alarming rate.
Even though an official decree was issued early on, ordering the disciples to be vigilant, practice self-isolation, and avoid contact with others, the situation spiraled out of control. Various pills were distributed to the disciples as needed, but...
None of the measures worked!
The speed at which the plague spreads and its lethality toward lower-level cultivators far exceeded the expectations of the Grand Dao Sect leadership.
In less than a month, almost every disciple of the Grand Dao Sect had contracted this strange illness. The miraculous Creation Purple Gold Pill, a divine medicine, wasn’t available to all disciples. Ordinary pills proved to be more of a psychological comfort than an actual remedy in the face of this plague.
It all depended on individual luck.
Those with milder symptoms gradually recovered after enduring some pain, though their cultivation levels dropped. At least they survived. However, more disciples experienced severe symptoms, and despite using all kinds of life-saving techniques and secret arts, they couldn’t escape death.
The situation grew even grimmer, with everyone in the Grand Dao Sect living in fear. No one dared to handle the bodies of the dead. From a safe distance, they would use spells to completely disintegrate the corpses, serving as a makeshift funeral.
The Grand Dao Sect, once filled with life, now was shrouded in sorrow, with cries of despair echoing throughout. It was hard to believe this was one of the most powerful sects in the cultivation world.
