Chapter 003: Continental Tribulation
The giant eagle landed on the ninth layer of the Sky Cliff.
The ninth floor is a very large courtyard, where there are elders who have cultivated to the higher levels, and they are also the people who guard the holy land.
When the guard at the door saw someone coming, he hurriedly clenched his fists, "Uncle Zu." Then he stepped back and pushed the door open.
The four of them walked in, Shangguan Ye and the two children stayed first, and he went to the top of the Qingtian Cliff alone, after all, he was the only one here who could pass through the prohibition.
The top of the Qingtian Cliff is actually a dense forest, and the spiritual energy in it is extremely abundant, which is a holy place for cultivation, and it is also the place where Qiu Qianxing usually cultivates.
The only thing that stands out here is a towering stone monument in the middle.
There is no trace of carving on the stele, smooth as a mirror, under the sun, it looks like a god standing on the top of the sky and the earth from a distance.
Murong Qiufeng walked under the stone stele, his fingers stretched out, and a small opening appeared, and blood beads rolled and dripped onto the stone seat.
Then the light on the stele surged, and then slowly some words gradually appeared, as if someone was writing on it.
This stone tablet is a teleportation stone, and it is a rare treasure in the cultivation realm, but such a stone is more useful for some big families, because his role is only used for teleportation, just because he can limit any plane.
Many of the Xiuzhen families in the Nine Realms Continent would send people to look for seedlings in the human world of various planes, and they would use this as a communication.
Murong Qiufeng looked at the content above, and was still a little confused at first, but when he kept looking at it, when he got to the middle, his face changed slightly, from surprise, puzzlement, to solemnity.
Until the last word fell, looking at the large text on the stone tablet, he frowned, read it carefully, and his expression became more and more solemn.
If this is true, then ......
But Master couldn't make such a joke!
Shangguan Ye saw that Murong Qiufeng was back, his face seemed to be a little wrong, and he immediately wrinkled his eyebrows, walked up, and held his hand, "What's wrong?" Is something happening? ”
Murong Qiufeng turned his head to look at him and opened his mouth, but when he saw that there were still two children there, he didn't say anything, "I'll tell you later, you send the two children back first, I have something to talk to the elders." ”
Seeing Murong Qiufeng's serious expression, Shangguan Ye also knew the seriousness, nodded, beckoned the two children and left.
Although Murong Nian was reluctant, he was not an ignorant child, and he could feel that his father had something big to do, so he had to leave.
Murong Qiufeng stood in the hall, took a deep breath, and then rang the Optimus Bell.
Hearing the sound of the Optimus Bell from afar, Shangguan Ye's eyebrows furrowed above the giant eagle, and his eyes became solemn.
The Optimus Bell is a warning bell in the Optimus Sect, and the sound is a message to the elders.
When the bell rang, several old men who guarded the Holy Land broke away from their respective cultivations, and before a moment came, the high-level representatives of the other academies also rode over.
For Murong Qiufeng, they did not despise or disrespect him because of his youth, after all, he was higher than them in terms of seniority and natural cultivation.
When everyone arrived, Murong Qiufeng said business.
What exactly was said, except for the people who were deliberating, the rest of the people didn't know, they only knew that the elders who went to the deliberative process all looked solemn when they came back, and then the head of the sect came out with a news that ten days later, a martial arts competition would be held in the sect, and the top ten outstanding disciples could enter the holy land to cultivate.
This news immediately shocked the whole sect and also inspired all the disciples.
"Tribulation?" After listening to Murong Qiufeng's explanation, Shangguan Ye furrowed his eyebrows deeply, "What do you say exactly?" ”
"I don't know about this, Master just said that this continent will go through tribulations, and the time is uncertain for the time being, but it should be within ten years."
It is a continental tribulation, not a personal tribulation, nor a dynasty's tribulation.
With such a large range, what is the so-called catastrophe, natural and man-made disasters? Will this continent disappear, or will this continent rise again? Or will all the people on this continent be in calamity?
That's a big range of possible guesses.
But no matter which one it is, it will definitely end badly, "Then suddenly the sect is bigger, is it that the selection of elite disciples is the Qingtian faction going to withdraw?" ”
Shangguan Ye knew Murong Qiufeng, if the mainland was really going to fall into a catastrophe, it would be absolutely impossible for him to let it go, not to mention that there were too many people related to them here, and because this was their native home.
Even he, a person with weak feelings, is somewhat worried about this continent in his heart, let alone him.
But if the Optimus Sect was to withdraw, as a disciple of the Optimus Sect, he would have to transfer, which would put him in a dilemma, and he didn't want him to have a trace of trouble and embarrassment.
"No, this is not clear for the time being, but presumably Master may not mean this, Master just asked me to select a hundred disciples with relatively high cultivation talents to enter the Holy Land within four months, and prepare to transfer to the Nine Realms Continent for training, and also inform other sects of this news, so that they can do the same, I'm afraid that Master has another way."
"Well, there are about three possibilities, either these people are selected to transfer and abandon the mainland, or they are trained to prevent the catastrophe from happening, and the last one is that this group of people may be used as a savior in the catastrophe, for example, to defend against foreign enemies?" Shangguan Ye's mind turned a thousand times in an instant, and he thought much more.
Murong Qiufeng also understood a little, there are rules in the cultivation realm, cultivators are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the secular world at will, if the master selects these people to participate in the mainland tribulation, then eliminate two points, man-made war and natural disasters, then it is likely to be demon cholera or ...... Invasion by foreign enemies?
He knew that there was more to this world than just one continent, and that there were many other continents around the sea where human beings existed.
In the past, he may not have believed in any ghosts and gods, but since entering Xiuzhen, he has firmly believed in them.
It seems that they themselves have to prepare.
The two raised their eyes and looked at each other, tacitly considering a point.
"But you have to wait for Elder Qiu to explain first, did you say when you will come?"
"I didn't say it, but Master said that if we want to go over, we can go over at any time, it's better for us to go over after the first big competition ten days later, and we must always ask clearly."
"It's fine." Shangguan Ye nodded, and then squeezed his palm, which was considered comforting, "Don't worry, since the problem that can be solved, it is not a problem." ”
Maybe he himself was too reliable, Murong Qiufeng's originally uneasy heart was really a little more relaxed, and then sighed, "Fortunately, although Nian'er's cultivation is low, he is also considered to have entered the Dao, if it is really dangerous in the future, he can also be temporarily sent to the Nine Realms Continent first, but the others ......"
Shangguan Ye knew what he was thinking, so he just sighed and put his arm around his shoulder, "Don't worry, since you can't go, then improve your ability, even if you can't defend yourself, at least you must be able to protect yourself." ”
Not everyone can embark on the path of cultivation, Nian'er can enter cultivation, or because of his frailty at birth, he has been irrigated with strange flowers and plants since he was a child, which has almost changed his physique and root bones, so that he has the talent for cultivation.
But the others don't have it, and besides, they are all too old to miss the best time to cultivate.
