If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 262 An Unstoppable Calamity

After returning from Seeking Immortals Island, Gu An did not tell Yang Jian about the ancient treasure bodies devouring each other, to avoid worrying Yang Jian.

If there truly is an ancient treasure body that has transformed into a vengeful ghost, then Yang Jian is definitely not someone he can deal with. As his master, Gu An would naturally have to step in.

Since he's going to take action, why make his disciple worry?

The Tai Xuan Sect dispatched powerful cultivators to fly towards the Great Rift in the Broken Sea, and news of a terrifying tidal wave approaching spread rapidly.

Gu An continued with his own life, pretending not to know anything about it.

While the disciples of Medicine Valley were busy working and cultivating, the ocean had already entered a catastrophe. If one looked from the sky, one could see that cultivators were flocking to the ocean from all directions, with the ocean tide as the center, which was quite a spectacular sight.

While inspecting the herb garden, Gu An saw several celestial beings flying away, and there was more than one of them.

The tide continued to rise, and on the boundless ocean, the waves swept across like a mountain range. Before this mountain range, countless cultivators formed a line and continuously cast spells to block it. Unfortunately, their spells and supernatural powers could only stir up waves when they hit the waves, and could not disperse them.

The number of cultivators continues to grow, but no matter how many there are, they cannot shake the momentum of the waves.

Chi Jiuxiao of the Xinghai Sect also came to help, along with his master Chi Bei. He tried his best, but he couldn't withstand the force of the waves at all.

"Damn it, who's behind this mess in the waves?"

Chi Jiuxiao cursed angrily, but none of the Star Sea Sect cultivators around him answered him; everyone was tense.

Only by truly casting spells to stop the waves can one feel the terrifying power contained within.

Chi Bei's voice came from afar: "No matter who is behind this, we must stop them. There are countless beings on the continent behind us, many of whom are of low cultivation level. The Star Sea Sect must protect them!"

Chi Jiuxiao understood this principle; he only complained, but his hands didn't stop moving.

suddenly!

Chi Jiuxiao felt a vast aura coming from behind him, which caused his magical power to stagnate.

woohoo-

A gust of wind howled by, startling the cultivators who instinctively turned to look.

Chi Jiuxiao was the same. He stared wide-eyed and saw the thunderclouds in the sky part, and a banner ten thousand feet tall stood above the clouds, as if the top of the banner had touched the sky. Any living being seemed insignificant in front of this banner.

Chi Jiuxiao recognized the origin of the banner at a glance; it was a supreme immortal treasure of the Star Sea Sect.

Starry Sea Primordial Flag!
The black flag seems to contain a vast starry sea, with twinkling stars that captivate the viewer at first glance.

The appearance of this flag greatly boosted the morale of the cultivators of the Star Sea Sect. Cultivators from other sects inquired about it and were excited when they learned that it was the Star Sea Primordial Chaos Flag, a supreme treasure of the immortal path.

"This is it! This is a supreme treasure of the immortal path!"

"The legendary Starry Sea Primordial Banner is awe-inspiring just to look at."

"With the appearance of this supreme immortal treasure, it will surely be able to stop this wave!"

"After the Seven Star Spirit Realm disbanded, only the Star Sea Sect is the true overlord of this sea area. Their ability to directly summon immortal treasures is enough to prove their determination to protect the ocean and they are worthy of the name of the righteous path."

The cultivators discussed among themselves, their eyes filled with anticipation as they gazed up at the lofty Star Sea Primordial Banner.

Suddenly, the Starry Sea Primordial Banner burst forth with terrifying energy waves, sweeping across the sea of ​​clouds. The starry sea within the banner then lit up with starlight, shooting out countless celestial lights, like a rain of stars streaking across the sky and falling into the magnificent waves.

Looking up from the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An saw patches of rosy clouds appearing in the sky.

He immediately recognized that it was an anomaly caused by a supreme immortal treasure.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a supreme immortal treasure on par with the Seven Star Mirror!

Under Gu An's watchful gaze, the unstoppable waves were dispersed by the power of the Star Sea Primordial Banner, countless cultivators were thrown into the air, the waves crashed into the sky, and a spectacular crater was pressed into the sea surface, shocking everyone's eyes.

Just then, Gu An felt a strange power surging out from the Great Crack in the Sea, rushing towards the sea surface and creating even higher waves than before, as if it would submerge the Starry Sea Primordial Banner in the sky.

The cultivators from all sides were dumbfounded and mobilized their magical power to resist.

Gu An's divine sense looked further into the distance, where the Great Rift in the Broken Sea stirred up two waves that went in opposite directions. The wave on the other side was also blocked by the combined efforts of countless cultivators, but unfortunately, they could not stop it at all.

As the waves advance, their length at both ends continues to increase, and this could very well create an apocalyptic tidal wave.

Gu An watched for a while before withdrawing his divine sense. The two waves attracted more and more powerful cultivators, which was a good opportunity for him to see the depths of the Heavenly Spirit World.

When he returned to the front of the pavilion, he saw the Nine-Fingered God standing in front of the wooden railing, gazing northwards, lost in thought.

Gu An walked over and asked him what he was thinking.

"nothing."

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord shook his head, saying that he was naturally concerned about the calamity at sea.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Gu An didn't press him. He simply nodded and walked away.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord suddenly turned to look at him and asked, "Valley Master, if your dearest loved ones were to become monsters that bring calamity to the world, what would you choose?" Gu An stopped and turned to look at him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If they are truly my dearest loved ones, I will not protect them, but I will not be their enemy either. If they insist on killing me, then I will have no choice but to fight to the death."

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's not that simple. There's no struggle in your answer."

“It’s not that simple, but why bother thinking about it? The only thing a person can truly control is themselves, isn’t it?” Gu An countered.

Could it be that the Nine-Fingered God has a close relative or lover who has been turned into a vengeful ghost?

Judging from the lifespan of the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, there is clearly a story behind it.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord sighed, "Indeed, people can only control themselves. Even cultivators are no exception. The more things one tries to control, the further one deviates from the path of cultivation."

The two chatted idly, with Nine-Fingered Divine Lord's words filled with sadness but without going into specifics. Soon, their conversation turned to Go.

the other side.

Inside a mansion in the main city of the sect.

Lu Lingjun and Xiling Shengmu sat facing each other in the courtyard. At this moment, Xiling Shengmu was looking at a bronze mirror on the table with her brows furrowed.

There was a blurry figure in the mirror, seemingly saying something.

After the person in the mirror disappeared, Our Lady of the West put the bronze mirror into her sleeve.

Although Lu Lingjun was sitting next to him, she didn't hear what the person in the mirror was saying. She couldn't help but ask, "Master, who were you talking to just now?"

The Holy Mother of the Western Spirit took a deep breath and said, "One of my elders asked me about the course of this calamity, and he advised me to leave as soon as possible to avoid it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingjun frowned.

In her heart, the Holy Mother of the Western Spirit was already a cultivator of extraordinary status and cultivation. Even if she was not as good as the Sword Venerable Fudao, she was still one of the top cultivators she had ever seen.

Even the being behind the Holy Mother of the West advised them to avoid the calamity, which shows that this calamity is no small matter.

"The karma hidden within the Great Rift of the Broken Sea is so vast that even my elders dare not venture there. Perhaps we should truly leave. The world is vast; there must be a place where we can escape this calamity," said the Holy Mother of the Western Spirit in a low voice.

Lu Lingjun replied, "The Tai Xuan Sect has the Sword Venerable Fudao, so it's not necessarily impossible for them to overcome the tribulation."

Since joining the Tai Xuan Sect, she has experienced the calamity of demons and monsters, and heard that the Seven Star Spirit Realm was swept away by the Sword Venerable Fudao alone. She still has full confidence in the Sword Venerable Fudao.

The Holy Mother of the West said with deep concern, "It's hard to say."

She came to the Tai Xuan Sect hoping to use the power of the Sword Master Fu Dao to avoid the calamity, but she just learned that the calamity has changed and an even more powerful variable has appeared, so much so that even her own sect does not dare to interfere easily.

Not all sects in this world are righteous; many sects only want to preserve their own traditions.

Not only them, but also the great cultivators from the ocean within the Tai Xuan Sect were discussing this matter. Not only were their cultivation levels higher than those of the native disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect, but their intelligence capabilities were also stronger. They knew more about the situation and that the direction the waves were sweeping was towards their continent, so they were naturally nervous.

The first person they thought of was the Sword Master Fudao!
If the cultivators at sea cannot stop the waves, will the Sword Master Fudao be able to stop them when they reach the edge of the continent?
Some people have already begun to choose to flee the mainland, no longer wanting to gamble on the strength of the Sword Master Fudao.

……

Rumbling--

Thunder roared, thunderclouds churned, and thousands of lightning bolts intertwined. A wave over 1,500 feet high surged forward with an aura that seemed to swallow the heavens and earth. Looking out, it was as if the entire sea was rising, unstoppable and majestic. Under this wave, any cultivator or demon appeared insignificant.

Chi Jiuxiao endured the torrential rain, his armor soaked through. He retreated continuously, his face filled with anxiety.

He instinctively turned around and could already see the outline of the mainland.

If this continues, countless lives will be lost in the ocean tides.

This seawater is no ordinary seawater; it contains some strange and powerful force. Some cultivators have mistakenly entered it and turned into strange and vengeful ghosts.

The thought that all the people of the continent would be transformed into strange and vengeful ghosts sent chills down Chi Jiuxiao's spine.

His gaze was fixed ahead, where twelve figures stood before the waves. They exuded an aura far surpassing that of all the cultivators behind them, yet even with their immense magical power, they were forced to retreat continuously by the force of the waves.

These twelve people were all immortals who had ascended to heaven and earth, either founding ancestors of a sect or elders of the Star Sea Sect. At this moment, they were all powerless in the face of the surging waves. They could only slow down the speed of the waves, but they had no way to suppress them.

The Starry Sea Primordial Banner had previously dispersed the waves, but one wave subsided only for another to rise. The Starry Sea Primordial Banner was also contaminated by the power of the waves, forcing the Starry Sea Sect to reclaim this immortal treasure.

Just then, Chi Jiuxiao's pupils suddenly dilated, and his face showed a look of horror.

He saw a figure in the dim waves, a thousand feet tall, whose figure was only vaguely visible when lightning flashed.

Not only him, but more and more people saw that figure, and all those who witnessed it felt a tightness in their chests.

To stop this wave, more than 100,000 cultivators have gathered, the weakest of whom are at the Profound Heart Realm, and there are more than 10,000 immortal cultivators. Yet, such power cannot shake the wave. How can they not despair?

More and more cultivators suffered setbacks and began to have second thoughts. Especially after seeing that mysterious thousand-foot figure, they felt their scalps tingle and wished they could flee this place immediately.
