Upon hearing this, everyone understood the gravity of the situation.
It was likely Han Dongping and Mystic River had their minds corrupted by the demonic thoughts.
No wonder they had so suddenly veered into the demonic path. It was due to the contamination.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged glances.
They surmised that the emergence of these ominous signs of demonic calamity in their world might be a form of self-help by the world’s will.
It was a warning to the cultivators that a significant crisis was imminent, urging them to prepare for the upcoming demonic calamity.
At the same time, the occurrence of demonic contamination suggested that the will of their world was being further weakened.
Otherwise, it would never have allowed the emergence of such corrupting influences.
The inability to prevent this indicated a desperate measure of self-preservation of the world’s will by manifesting these ominous signs.
The situation, they realized, was not optimistic.
Although their world was not yet on the brink of collapse, the time of crisis seemed not too far off.
“What can we do in response? Is there a way to detect these contaminated items or people in advance, so that we can deal with them accordingly?” Yan Wushuang asked, anxious for a solution.
“Not at the moment.”
Perfected Lord Xuan Yang shook his head.
“But it should be soon.”
“Huh?”
This statement caused everyone to look at him in surprise.
Perfected Lord Xuan Yang explained, “As far as I know, several Heavenly Lords in our Northern Border have been working together for a long time to forge a Level 6 Pure Yang True Treasure capable of detecting these contaminated items.
By now, this Pure Yang True Treasure should be near completion.”
The so-called Pure Yang True Treasure was actually a Level 6 Dharma treasure.
Every Dharma treasure that had reached Level 6 would give birth to a trace of Pure Yang Qi, so it was called a Pure Yang True Treasure.
This Dharma treasure was far more powerful and effective than a level 5 True Treasure. It was what made someone a true Heavenly Lord.
However, with the current environment of the Nine Essences Cultivation World,
Some Heavenly Lords who had just advanced or those who did not have enough foundation might not even have a Pure Yang True Treasure of their own.
At this moment.
Everyone recalled what Perfected Lord Xuan Yang had just said and heaved a sigh of relief.
If the Heavenly Lords in the northern border could really successfully refine a Pure Yang True Treasure that could spot contaminated items, it could undoubtedly eliminate many potential hidden dangers.
Otherwise, incidents like the one encountered by Perfected Lord Flowing Snow could become more frequent, leading to widespread distrust and disaster during times of demonic calamity.
“Perfected Lord Xuan Yang, based on your understanding and our current situation in the Northern Border, when do you estimate this impending demonic calamity will officially begin?” Jiang Chengxuan asked, breaking his silence.
Everyone’s attention shifted back to Perfected Lord Xuan Yang. After pondering for a moment, he replied, “I can’t be certain, but based on my understanding, the demonic calamity we are to face should occur within this century, or even sooner.”
“Is that so?”
Hearing this, the group’s expressions grew more serious. If that was the case, they needed to start preparing in advance.
Perfected Lord Xuan Yang then addressed everyone, “This matter is of great importance. I plan to visit the Purple Sun Palace to inform Heavenly Lord Purple Flame.”
The Purple Sun Palace that Perfected Lord Xuan Yang was talking about was one of the Soul Formation sects in the northern border.
Heavenly Lord Purple Flame was a prominent figure who had achieved Soul Formation thousands of years ago.
Among all the Heavenly Lords, he was considered a very powerful figure.
Since Perfected Lord Xuan Yang decided to head to the Purple Sun Palace, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Perfected Lord Flowing Snow decided not to stay at the Hidden Sword Palace any longer. After bidding farewell, they left the palace.
Once they were at a distance, Perfected Lord Flowing Snow also bid farewell to the couple. Later, Jiang Chengxuan asked Shen Ruyan about the Purple Sun Palace and Heavenly Lord Purple Flame, whom she might have known in her previous life.
Shen Ruyan nodded, then shook her head, “Back in my time, the Purple Sun Palace did exist but was only a minor sect without even a Nascent Soul Perfected Lord.
It’s surprising that over the years, it has not only survived but also become a major Soul Formation Sect.
As for Heavenly Lord Purple Flame, I’m not sure if he existed during my time.
Considering the vast time difference, if he were there back then, he would be incredibly old by now.
Although the lifespan of a Heavenly Lord is long, it usually does not exceed 8,000 years. This is only so after consuming all the life-prolonging spiritual items there are..”
