Destiny is ashes

Chapter 862 Announcement (23)

In the camp.

Before the Four Cities Competition, everyone's view of An Xuan, or rather, An Jing, was just a "troublesome" competitor, a sudden genius from the wilderness.

Most people don’t think that they are stronger than An Jing, but most of them are also proud of their genius and think that they just lack some opportunities. Overall, they can still have a fair conversation with An Jing.

But now, look, look.

Everyone present, whether they are geniuses rising from the common people or children cultivated by great families; whether they are ordinary people without bloodlines or direct descendants of the ancestor with Yuanshen.

Whether you are dissatisfied with the world or satisfied with it; whether you are burdened with the blood debt of your parents or living a relatively peaceful, happy, calm and warm life.

A group of people who were originally unequal, who could never sit on an equal footing, or even calm down to talk to each other, all became equal and quiet in front of An Jing.

Huo Qing has personal experience of this.

For example, now, sitting next to him is Chen Yunfei, the direct descendant of Yuanshen Tianzun of Luofu Dongtian - he had just taken out a bottle of fasting pills and handed it to him in a very friendly manner, without any airs at all.

Even if we don't count his identity as the son of a Guiyi Army spy, how could he, a former gangster from Danlin Town, be able to sit on the same bench with the other party? Wasn't it because he was An Jing's friend, and now they were all in the same boat?
On the other side, a girl with long silver hair was chatting with Nianquan about swordsmanship. This girl with long metallic hair was Shang Yuguang on their list. She had also been attacked by evil spirits before, and she was the only one who escaped alive from the entire team. At this moment, it was unclear whether her expression was gloomy or indifferent, and she felt like a slightly warm corpse.

Everyone was sharing spirit stones and elixirs with each other, healing their wounds, practicing, exchanging the information they had obtained, and thinking about everyone's current situation.

In the camp of the Pure Land people, people from all walks of life were briefly equalized and were merged into a whole under powerful external pressure.

This feeling is actually quite good. There is no oppression, no discrimination. If everyone in the outside world is like this, then the world of great harmony is probably not far away.

Of course, Huo Qing actually knew very well that once they returned to the Tianyuan Realm, everything would return to its original state.

But, here’s the problem.

Will they ever really go back?

Thinking that An Jing actually came from another great world, and was the next generation of the clan leader from that great world, Huo Qing couldn't help but chuckle: "Hey, it's really hard to say."

At this moment, they received a message from An Jing: "Everyone, prepare to gather in the main hall!"

Hearing An Jing's words, everyone who was resting in the camp looked at each other, then stood up one by one and prepared to assemble.

At this point, even if An Jing had never announced this, everyone present had already subconsciously followed his orders, or in other words, could only obey his orders.

After leaving the camp, all everyone saw was a dilapidated ruin.

The center of the ancient immortal ruins is a huge steel city, made of white divine steel. From a distance, it looks like a silver mountain, and the Shangyuan Cave Xu Huaizhen Hall is located at the top of the mountain. In Huo Qing's opinion, all this is both shocking and disappointing, because this magnificent Daoting city is now a ruin, and those seemingly spectacular steel buildings and fortresses have all collapsed and dilapidated, and even repairs seem unnecessary.

One by one, the puppets, driven by the people of the Pure Land, cleaned up this ruined steel mountain day after day. But even if all the people of the Pure Land were cultivators, this task was extremely difficult, because there were a large number of ancient formations that were functioning incorrectly and accumulated a lot of destructive energy. If they were not careful, it would trigger a chain reaction and turn the already cleaned up area into ruins again.

This ancient Daoting Cave Heaven is now truly a "relic" as everyone calls it.

"These people in the Pure Land are actually not living any better than us in the safe zone, or even the people in the wilderness."

Thinking so, however, when Huo Qingzhen entered the Xu Huaizhen Hall of Shangyuan Cave, everything changed.

Compared to the dilapidated central city, the only intact hall is truly amazing.

The first thing he saw was an exquisite jade gate shrouded in clouds. As soon as he stepped into it, a beam of faint white light descended from the sky, passed through layers of transparent formation crystal plates, landed on his head, and soaked his entire body.

Before Huo Qing could react, the beam of light repaired all the injuries on his body and cleared away all the dust, dirt and possible evil spirits. An unprecedented feeling of freshness and lightness came over him, making him feel as if he had been moving with three hundred kilograms of fat on.

And the next moment, they all felt something empty under their feet, and the Taixu method teleported them to an empty place in the hall.

Here, a large number of Pure Land people were gathering. They appeared and disappeared from time to time, obviously using the Great Hall as a transit point, constantly using the Great Void Method to teleport to various places in the Great Hall to complete their work.

"You can actually use the Great Void Method like this?!"

Huo Qing heard Chen Yunfei beside him exclaiming in a low voice. He turned his head, and Chen Yunfei also noticed this good friend of An Jing, who was also a young man on the "Heavenly Monitoring Bureau's Key Observation List", and explained softly: "If ordinary people use the Taixu method to teleport continuously, it is easy for their souls to be damaged and their bodies to be broken. Even for cultivators, if they are not careful, their souls will be reversed, and they will feel dizzy for at least a few days, and even part of their bodies will be eroded by the Taixu."

"But these people of the Pure Land are completely immune to the backlash of the Great Void Law. It seems that this is the special feature mentioned in the family inheritance. No wonder they are the ones guarding the cave heaven!"

Huo Qing understood that this was also an illusion given to him by An Jing. He always felt that the method of Taixu could be used casually and there would be no side effects in traveling between the two worlds - in fact, it was not the case. As long as he did not become a Purple Mansion True Person, the use of Taixu power would definitely cause harm to the lives in the world.

At this moment, a young man came in front of everyone. He was tall and straight, with a majestic appearance. Although he looked young, he had the appearance of a real person. It was An Jing.

Most of the ordinary Purple Mansion True Men who have just advanced to the realm of existence cannot control their own magical powers and bodies. Power overflows out of them, with the aurora penetrating their bodies, a halo behind their heads, fire flowing under their feet, and thunderclouds surrounding them.

But An Jing seemed to have no unusual symptoms. Only those who paid the most careful attention could vaguely sense that the air flow around An Jing was extremely different - some parts were very fast, some parts were very slow, and between them, a transparent counter-flowing vortex was created, forming a natural 'outer wind' as a defense.

"Everyone."

At this moment, An Jing looked around at everyone present. He noticed Huo Qing and Nian Quan, paused for a moment, smiled, and then said solemnly: "You are also very clear about the current situation in the outside world. The Tianyuan human race and the Demon Kingdom are in a full-scale exchange of fire, and your hometown is now also being attacked by lurking evil demons. The flames of war are everywhere."

"Perhaps you haven't figured it out yet, or maybe you understand it but haven't said it out loud, or maybe you've already made up your mind and realized it before you came here - but it doesn't matter, because next, I will tell you the truth."
