Perfect: Become Shi Yi's younger brother at the beginning

Chapter 140 On the Eve of the Great Calamity
Inside the main hall, Shi Chen calmed himself down and asked, "Senior, how long until the great calamity begins?"

"It could take as little as a month or as long as three months," the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram replied after sensing the situation. "The great formation has already been set up and can be activated at any time to conceal the entire Martial King's Mansion. Even if a supreme being were to descend upon it, they would be unable to deduce its existence."

Upon hearing this, Shi Chen felt relieved, as his last concern had been resolved.

He then summoned all the high-ranking officials of the Wu King's Mansion, including the Wu King himself.

Shi Chen sat at the top, gazing at everyone, and slowly spoke: "The world is about to change. This land is about to be in turmoil, and a great calamity is coming."

For a moment, all the senior executives were shocked, and then fear spread.

They had already learned of the great calamity of heaven and earth from the woman with double pupils, but they never expected it to come so soon.

At this moment, all the high-ranking officials began to worry, as they were powerless to do anything about a calamity that would affect the entire Eight Domains.

“You don’t need to worry about this. I have already set up a great formation for the Martial King’s Mansion, which is enough to ensure that the Martial King’s Mansion will be spared from this calamity,” Shi Chen said.

Upon hearing this, the senior executives were overjoyed and finally felt relieved.

Now, Shi Chen has become the backbone of the Martial King's Mansion, and all the high-ranking members believe him without question.

"For the next period of time, recall all disciples of the Martial King's Mansion who are outside. The Martial King's Mansion will be sealed off, and no one is allowed to leave the Martial King's Mansion under any circumstances," Shi Chen said, issuing the order.

The senior executives all nodded, indicating that they would give the orders.

Then, he took out many resources: precious medicines, divine ingredients, and even the corpses of pure-blooded beings.

He gave instructions one by one, allocating resources to everyone to ensure that everyone was taken care of.

These people helped him when he was weak, and now that he has risen to prominence, he will naturally repay them.

With these resources, the Wu King's Mansion will undergo a major upgrade, and some elders with limited lifespans may be able to advance further with these resources.

Of course, he also warned against using these resources to commit evil deeds or act recklessly in the lower realms.

The Martial King's Palace was ultimately too weak; even the most powerful Martial King could only form ranks.

He is about to leave, and without his protection, being too sharp and outspoken is not a good thing for the Wu Wang Mansion.

"Don't worry, Chen'er. From today onwards, the Martial King's Mansion will discipline its clansmen and will no longer participate in the conflicts between other forces." The high-ranking members all made this promise.

The high-ranking officials naturally obeyed Shi Chen's warning. They also knew that the reason why the Martial King's Mansion was able to remain peaceful was entirely because of Shi Chen.

Seeing this, Shi Chen nodded. If anyone really had other intentions, he wouldn't mind suppressing them with swift and decisive measures.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and no one went against his wishes.

Finally, the high-ranking members left, fulfilling his words and recalling all the clansmen.

Shi Chen then went to another hall, met Shi Yi, and told him about the great calamity.

In the original novel, Shi Yi perished in the battle between the two stones and did not experience this great calamity.

"This is a calamity, but also an opportunity. After the destruction comes the rise. I believe you will emerge stronger."

Finally, Shi Chen left with a single sentence, leaving Shi Yi alone. A faint light flickered in Shi Yi's eyes, as if he were pondering his words.

After completing all this, Shi Chen returned to his residence. Now, everything at the Martial King's Mansion was arranged, and he was just waiting for all the disciples to return. He then had the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram activate the great formation to conceal the Martial King's Mansion.

Half a month later, King Wu informed Shi Chen that all disciples of King Wu's Mansion had been sent back.

"let's start."

Without hesitation, he immediately ordered the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram to activate the great formation.

The Yin-Yang Dao Diagram flew from his eyes, vanished into the void, and he began to activate the great formation. "Buzz!"

The next moment, the entire Martial King's Mansion was flashing with black and white runes, glowing and emitting a rich yin and yang aura.

The world changed, as if the sun, moon and stars were being stirred. Endless yin and yang energies surged, and the profound mysteries of the Great Dao appeared in the void. Runes were densely packed, as if gods were arranged here, bowing in reverence.

Just as a mighty divine power was about to erupt, it was suppressed by the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram, remaining contained within it and not affecting the outside world.

In an instant, the vast Wu Wang Mansion vanished into thin air without leaving a trace, as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth.

After giving a few more instructions, he left the Prince Wu's residence.

He certainly couldn't just cower in the Wu King's mansion and wait for the calamity to end.

As the great calamity begins, even the most sacred become as insignificant as grass. Of course, within this great calamity, opportunities for enlightenment are also born, and crises and opportunities coexist.

The Great Dao has shifted, the Upper Realm has opened, runes will fall, the Great Dao will manifest, and mysterious mysteries will emerge in the world. Whoever has great fortune can defy the heavens and "harvest" in this perilous situation.

With his double pupils, he already had an absolute advantage in comprehending the Great Dao, so he couldn't possibly miss this opportunity.

With the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram and the Six Paths of Reincarnation protecting him, he didn't need to worry about being discovered by those beings.

“This is indeed an opportunity that we cannot miss. Don’t worry, with me taking action, they won’t notice.” Yin Yang Dao Diagram agreed with his idea.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation had no objection to this; it knew the power of the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram, and concealing a person was an easy task for it.

At the same time, the entire wasteland is undergoing earth-shattering changes.

All the ancient kingdoms, great religions, and ancient sacred mountains are making their final preparations.

The major powers, including the Stone Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom, were all shrouded in a sacred aura, which was incredibly astonishing.

Several days later, a deafening roar echoed from the endless horizon, shaking the heavens and causing the mountains to tremble—a truly earth-shattering event.

"Have they arrived?" In a desolate and vast land, Shi Chen murmured.

The next moment, at the edge of the sky, divine light pierced through the heavens and earth, shattering the void and revealing a huge crack.

The cracks were spreading, and one could vaguely see a portal forming, grand and extraordinary, like a heavenly gate.

As strange fluctuations spread out, the sky suddenly exploded.

In an instant, it seemed as if thousands of rays of light bloomed, dazzling and spectacular, and a rain of light, like meteors, erupted and streaked across the entire sky.

Shi Chen was not attracted by the magnificent scene. Instead, his expression was solemn as the huge portal exploded.

"boom!"

Like a thunderclap, accompanied by a shower of blood, scales flew out and vanished into the void.

In the following days, divine light occasionally emanated from the sky, shattering the endless void and creating one terrifying scene after another.

All the cultivators sensed the changes in the world and began to panic, their hearts filled with unease.

This was a sign of impending doom; they knew a great storm was about to begin.

At this moment, all the Venerables were terrified. Some fled to the outer realms, while others hid in the endless abyss. They all unleashed their full potential, just to protect themselves in this great calamity.

Shi Chen did not do what they did. He knew it was all in vain. In the face of a true catastrophe, nothing could be hidden.

He simply sat cross-legged quietly, emptying his mind, his heart as still as a deep well, awaiting the coming calamity.
