Chapter 572 - 408: Etiquette
On the crystalline, translucent spaceship, the cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent were exchanging their critiques about everything in this world. They had grown accustomed to being revered by mortals, so their arrogance had seeped into their very bones. They looked down upon the cultivators of the End of Dharma era with utter disdain.
"Silence, all of you! Straighten up your attitudes. We are here to demonstrate goodwill, not to cause trouble. If anyone dares to act recklessly, don’t blame me for showing no mercy."
Listening to the incessant chatter of the cultivators aboard the spaceship, a middle-aged man in a Daoist robe approached with a stern expression and barked sharply.
"Have you all forgotten what happened a few days ago? A deity crossed realms with a single strike, slicing off a corner of the Xuanxian Continent. The Purple Cloud Sect, with a legacy spanning three thousand years, was obliterated in that one attack. And you still dare to talk about branding slave marks? If anyone acts recklessly and invites disaster, I doubt any of you will survive."
This middle-aged man was called Chongxu Taoist, tasked with monitoring every action of these people. He would show no leniency to anyone who dared to make trouble.
"Senior Chongxu, we were just talking, that’s all. Besides, there’s a formation aboard the spaceship that isolates everything; they can’t hear us." Someone replied with an awkward smile.
"If we truly intended to make a move, we would have done so already. We wouldn’t just sit here quietly, letting those locals size us up," a woman in pink snorted, curling her lips.
Chongxu Taoist cast a cold glance and said, "Now that the experts from the major sects of Xuanxian Continent have withdrawn from here, our mission is to investigate this place through friendly exchanges and to gather information about that deity. From what we’ve seen before, that deity isn’t actually of this world. It’s just that the Purple Cloud Sect, through their misfortune, suppressed someone they should never have suppressed, which led to that cross-realm strike."
"Moreover, based on our investigations over these past few days, it’s not just the cultivators from Xuanxian Continent causing trouble in this world. Some demon beasts have crossed realms and clearly have no intention of returning. They’ve slaughtered quite a number of people in just a few days, yet that deity has not intervened. Similarly, after Sky Tipping, when floods poured in and submerged countless cities, that deity also did not step forward to calm the disaster... There have been many such instances."
"From this, it’s evident that minor disturbances are unlikely to draw that deity’s attention. That said, do not approach the city called Tianchang City, to avoid the misfortune of encountering the individual related to that deity."
Chongxu Taoist then proceeded to share more information and conclusions.
