Chapter 109 Circumstances
The news that the powerful demon realm's Qingtian was about to be born in the Azure Sky World swept through every corner like a fierce storm. This news brought not only fear, but also the prelude to a reshuffling of power among various factions, plunging the entire world into unprecedented turmoil.
The righteous alliance of the Azure Sky World has always been a pillar of world peace and order. When news of the emergence of the Sky-Supporting One arrived, they reacted swiftly, convening an urgent and crucial meeting. The meeting was held in the towering council pavilion of the Azure Cloud Sect, a pavilion crafted from countless rare spiritual materials, radiating a faint spiritual light, as if recounting the long and glorious history of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Ling Jianfeng, the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect, wore a long blue robe with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on the hem, which fluttered gently in the breeze. His face was stern, and his eyes revealed a resolute and decisive spirit. At this moment, he stood at the head of the council hall, his gaze sweeping over the crowd present, and said solemnly, "Gentlemen, the powerful being Qingtian of the Demon Realm is about to be born. This is undoubtedly a catastrophic disaster for our Cangqiong World. We must discuss and devise a countermeasure as soon as possible, otherwise, the world will be plunged into utter ruin."
Murong Yan, the Palace Master of Zixia Palace, dressed in a purple palace gown, possessed an elegant demeanor, resembling a blooming purple cloud. She nodded slightly and said softly, "Sect Master Ling is absolutely right. The power of Qingtian is unfathomable, and we cannot act rashly. The most urgent task is to first send a vanguard team to the vicinity of the Demon Realm's sealed land to scout and understand Qingtian's specific situation before making a decision."
Everyone agreed. Thus, the powerful cultivation sects, including Qingyun Sect and Zixia Palace, each selected their elite disciples to form a vanguard team. Qingyun Sect sent Lin Yu and Su Yao, known as the "Twin Prodigies of Qingyun." Lin Yu, tall and handsome with striking features, had cultivated in Qingyun Sect since childhood. He possessed exceptional talent and a high level of comprehension in swordsmanship, having already reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage. His Qingyun Sword Technique was masterful. Su Yao, a lively and charming woman with a beautiful face and a vivacious personality, was equally dedicated to cultivation. She excelled in using talismanic arts, employing various wondrous talismans to aid in battle, and was also at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
The Purple Cloud Palace sent Elder Xuanfeng and his prized disciple Ye Li. Xuanfeng, though white-haired, was remarkably vigorous, his eyes gleaming with profound wisdom. He had cultivated the Purple Cloud Divine Art for hundreds of years, possessing profound skill and reaching the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Ye Li, on the other hand, was one of the most outstanding disciples of the new generation of the Purple Cloud Palace. Her temperament was aloof, like a snow lotus on an iceberg. Her control over magic was extremely precise, she excelled in water-based spells, and her cultivation had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Once the vanguard was assembled, they immediately set off for the sealed land of the demon realm. They flew on their swords, their figures as swift as lightning, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
However, while the righteous alliance was actively preparing countermeasures, some evil forces were secretly stirring. The Blood Demon Palace, a notorious evil sect known for its cruel methods and wicked techniques, had its leader, the Blood Demon Ancestor, who exuded a sinister aura. Seated on a blood-red throne, a ferocious smile played on his lips as he declared, "Haha, the Heavenly Pillar has been born, and the world is in chaos. This is the perfect opportunity for our Blood Demon Palace to rise!"
The guardian Chi Lian, standing to the side, said with a fawning expression, "What the ancestor said is absolutely right. We can take advantage of the conflict between the righteous alliance and the demon realm to reap the benefits, seize resources and territories from all sides, and strengthen the power of our Blood Demon Palace."
The Blood Demon Ancestor nodded, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "That's right. However, the Righteous Alliance is not to be trifled with either. We cannot act rashly. Let's send out some spies first to closely monitor the movements of all parties. It won't be too late to make a move when the time is right."
Besides the Blood Demon Palace, other evil factions share similar ambitions. Like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, they await the opportune moment to unleash even greater chaos upon the world.
Meanwhile, in the distant realms of spirit beasts and magical beasts, the news of Qingtian's birth plunged them into turmoil. The spirit beast race, dedicated to protecting nature and maintaining the world's balance, lived in a mysterious land called the Spirit Illusion Forest. Within the forest, towering trees and exotic flowers bloomed, and a rich spiritual energy permeated the air. The King of the Spirit Beasts, a Qilin radiating multicolored light, stood in the center of the Spirit Illusion Forest, solemnly addressing the surrounding spirit beasts: "Qingtian's birth, this dark power, will shatter the world's balance. We, the spirit beast race, cannot stand idly by; we must prepare ourselves to face the impending crisis."
A nimble fox blinked its bright eyes and said, "Your Majesty, although we spirit beasts are not weak, the Demon Realm is powerful. How should we deal with it?"
After a moment of contemplation, the Qilin said, "We can first contact the righteous alliance to discuss countermeasures together. At the same time, we should strengthen our own cultivation and improve our strength. Only in this way can we protect this world."
In the realm of the Warcraft, in a dark and mysterious demonic domain, the King of Warcraft, a gigantic demonic dragon covered in black scales, roared at a group of Warcraft beasts: "The Sky-Supporting One is about to be born, and his power will lead us to glory. We must prepare ourselves, obey the Sky-Supporting One's command, and conquer this world."
A three-eyed wolf, its eyes gleaming with greed, said, "Your Majesty, could we take this opportunity to eliminate those spirit beasts and expand our territory?"
The demon dragon sneered, "Hmph, those spirit beasts are nothing to fear. But the most important thing now is to wait for Qingtian's orders. Before he is born, do not make any rash moves to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
Just as various forces were secretly plotting for the emergence of the Sky-Supporting Star, Qin Feng, Jasmine, Lin Qing, and Ye Lan also sensed this powerful and malevolent energy fluctuation in the mysterious valley. They stopped their search for the Star Stone, their faces showing solemn expressions.
Qin Feng frowned, a hint of worry in his eyes: "This power is so strong, it seems the news of the emergence of the Sky-Supporting Sword is true. We must speed up our search for the Star Stone, otherwise, the world will be plunged into a huge crisis."
Jasmine's eyes flashed with determination: "That's right. The Starstone might be the key to our fight against Skybreaker. We can't back down; we must find it."
Lin Qing gripped his longsword tightly, its blade gleaming coldly: "No matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, I will not be afraid. To protect this world, we must succeed."
Ye Lan waved the jade flute in her hand, which emitted a clear sound: "Don't worry, everyone. Let's work together. I believe we will definitely be able to find the Star Stone and stop Qingtian's conspiracy."
However, unbeknownst to them, a far greater crisis was quietly brewing during their search for the Star Stone. Deep within the mysterious valley lay a mysterious power, seemingly intricately connected to Qingtian, awaiting their arrival.
The vanguard's journey to the sealed land of the demon realm was not without its challenges. They had barely entered a mysterious, misty forest when they sensed an eerie atmosphere. The forest was shrouded in fog, visibility was extremely low, and sinister cries echoed intermittently, sending chills down their spines.
Lin Yu looked around warily and said, "Everyone be careful, something's not right in this forest. I have a feeling that something is watching us from the shadows."
Su Yao nodded, clutching a talisman tightly in her hand: "Yes, I felt it too. This mist seems to be interfering with our senses. We can't get distracted; we must stay alert."
Just then, a group of strangely shaped black figures rushed out of the mist. These figures resembled humans, but were short in stature and exuded a putrid stench. Their eyes gleamed green, and they wielded sharp daggers as they pounced on the vanguard.
"What is this?" Ye Li asked in surprise. She quickly cast a water spell, and a wall of water instantly rose in front of everyone, blocking the attack of the dark figure.
Elder Xuanfeng, his eyes grave, said, "These should be evil shadows corrupted by dark power. Everyone be careful, their attacks are corrosive."
Lin Yu drew his longsword and unleashed the Azure Cloud Sword Technique, unleashing streaks of sword energy that slashed towards the evil shadows. Su Yao, meanwhile, tossed out a talisman that instantly ignited in mid-air, transforming into a golden beam of light that hurtled towards the evil shadows, blasting some of them to pieces.
However, the number of evil shadows increased, and they charged towards the vanguard relentlessly. The vanguard was caught in a fierce battle.
"This won't do, we have to find a way to break through," Lin Yu shouted. Although his swordsmanship was fierce, there were just too many evil shadows, and he was gradually becoming overwhelmed.
Just then, Elder Xuanfeng suddenly said, "Listen to me, everyone. Although these evil shadows are numerous, their power is not great. We can concentrate our forces and break through in one direction."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They then concentrated their power and launched a fierce attack in one direction. Ye Li unleashed a powerful water-based spell, creating a massive water tornado that swept up the evil shadows. Lin Yu and Su Yao seized the opportunity to fly on their swords, breaking through the encirclement of the evil shadows. Elder Xuanfeng brought up the rear, using his Purple Cloud Divine Art to unleash beams of purple light from his hands, repelling the pursuing evil shadows.
The vanguard finally broke through successfully, but they all suffered minor injuries. After a short rest, they continued their journey towards the sealed land of the demon realm.
Meanwhile, the Blood Demon Palace's spies also began their operation. They split into several groups and quietly infiltrated various sects within the righteous alliance, gathering intelligence from all sides. One group of spies arrived near the Azure Cloud Sect. They hid in a grove of trees, observing the Azure Cloud Sect's movements.
"Brother, what should we do? The Qingyun Sect is heavily guarded; it'll be difficult for us to infiltrate," a scout whispered.
The lead scout, his face grim, said, "Don't rush. Let's observe here for a while and see if there's an opportunity. If all else fails, we'll try to capture a disciple of the Qingyun Sect and force him to reveal the information we want."
Just as they were discussing their plan, a disciple from the Qingyun Sect happened to pass by the grove. The scouts exchanged knowing smiles, a glint of malice in their eyes, and quietly followed him…
Meanwhile, in the Spirit Forest, the spirit beasts were diligently cultivating. Suddenly, one of them rushed in, shouting, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! We've found some strange footprints at the edge of the forest. These footprints don't seem to belong to any kind of spirit beast, and they're emanating a dark aura!"
Upon hearing this, Qilin's expression changed: "What? Could it be that the people from the Demon Realm have already begun their operation? Come, take me to see."
The Qilin, leading a group of spirit beasts, arrived at the edge of the forest. Sure enough, they saw some strange footprints, deeply imprinted on the ground, turning the surrounding land black as if it had been corrupted by dark forces.
Qilin frowned and said, "It seems we can no longer sit idly by. We must contact the righteous alliance as soon as possible to deal with this crisis together."
Therefore, Qilin dispatched several spirit birds to carry messages to various sects within the righteous alliance.
Meanwhile, in the Demon Realm, the Demon Dragon also received some news. He learned that the Righteous Alliance had sent a vanguard to the sealed land of the Demon Realm, and he sneered inwardly: "Hmph, the Righteous Alliance is indeed impatient. However, they are courting death. I'll see how long they can last against Qingtian."
The demon dragon decided to send some magical beasts to intercept the vanguard on the way, giving the righteous alliance a warning.
As the vanguard continued their advance, they suddenly sensed a powerful aura of darkness approaching. Looking up, they saw a horde of demonic beasts flying towards them. These beasts were of various shapes and sizes; some had wings, others were enormous, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust, and they roared incessantly.
"It's a monster! Everyone, prepare for battle!" Lin Yu shouted, drawing his longsword once more to meet the challenge.
Su Yao quickly took out various talismans, preparing for battle. Ye Li then used water magic to create a water curtain around everyone as a defense. Elder Xuanfeng formed hand seals, preparing to unleash the powerful Purple Cloud Divine Art.
