Chapter 387 - Start of the Epoch Calamity
Qi Ming continued to chat with Qing Feiyun and the others. During the conversation, the Branch Masters asked about his situation.
He did not hide it nor did he plan to hide it. As long as the questions of the Branch Masters were not related to the true secret, he answered them all.
“Junior Brother Qi.” Qing Feiyun asked bluntly, “What’s your cultivation level now?”
“Late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.” Qi Ming replied truthfully.
“What did you say?!”
“This…”
“Late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal…”
“Impossible.”
“If you only broke through to the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, how could you cause such a huge commotion? You caused such a world-shaking scene that the entire Nine Provinces Domain was shaken.”
“That’s right!”
“…”
After the Branch Masters heard Qi Ming’s answer, their first reaction was disbelief because they did not think that breaking through to the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm could cause such a phenomenon.
All that could be said was…
The commotion Qi Ming created was far too great. It was simply unbelievable, exceeding their imagination and too shocking.
This was the truth.
Qing Feiyun took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He carefully observed Qi Ming, “Are you really at the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm? You’re not lying to me?”
Qi Ming nodded and explained, “I’ve indeed just broken through to the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.”
Qi Ming circulated his cultivation method and Dharmic powers surged out, revealing his late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm cultivation and Dharmic powers. This made Qing Feiyun and the others even more shocked.
“Gasp…”
“He’s actually really at the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.”
“Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable!”
“This…”
“Too shocking.”
“I’ve lived for so many years and have never encountered something like this today. He’s only broken through to the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, but it caused such a phenomenon and even attracted the Heavenly Dao Tribulation Cloud.”
“Yes, yes.”
“I finally understand why the Heavenly Dao Tribulation Cloud did not strike despite forming. This is clearly because Senior Brother Qi’s cultivation is only at the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, so the Heavenly Dao Tribulation Cloud dissipated.”
“That’s indeed a possibility.”
“…”
The Branch Masters discussed.
The entire Primordial Demon Territory was already shocked to the extreme by Qi Ming.
“I see.”
Qing Feiyun took a deep breath again. He had already gradually calmed down. He looked at Qi Ming and was silent for a moment before saying, “Junior Brother Qi, you’ve only broken through to the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, but you’re already so extraordinary. You shook the heavens and the earth, and the phenomenon even shook the entire Nine Provinces Domain.”
“It can be said that you will definitely be able to attain the Dao Validation realm in the future and break through to the Immortal realm to enter the Venerate realm.”
“Thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother.”
Qi Ming said, “However, it’s still early to break through to the Immortal realm. I’m only at the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm after all. I’m not even an Upper World Immortal King.”
“Senior Brother, I believe that I will definitely succeed.”
Qing Feiyun continued, “Junior Brother’s cultivation breakthrough is a joyous matter. Therefore, I’ve decided to hold a banquet to celebrate your cultivation improvement.”
“This…” Qi Ming pondered for a moment. “In that case, we’ll do as you say.”
“Hahaha…” Qing Feiyun laughed loudly.
Next, the Primordial Demon Sect began to prepare for this celebration. According to the scale Qing Feiyun wanted, this celebration would be held for nine days and nine nights. The entire sect, disciples of the various lineages, and elders would participate.
This celebration banquet was indeed unprecedentedly vast. It also consumed a lot of resources. Many disciples and elders could not help but fall into the revelry of the banquet.
Actually…
Qi Ming did not care about this. He did not even want to hold this celebration. He wanted to continue cultivating in seclusion and absorb the nineteen Heaven and Earth Great Dao fragments that he had just obtained.
This was Qing Feiyun’s good intentions after all, and Qing Feiyun was the Sect Master of the Primordial Demon Sect. He wanted to personally hold a huge celebration for Qi Ming, so he could not decline and naturally agreed.
On the third day of the celebration, Qi Ming received news from the World’s Freedom Buddha and Fang Ru. The information the two of them obtained made Qi Ming quite shocked.
“This…”
Qi Ming waved his right hand, and the words in front of him dissipated, turning into a jade slip. His expression became a little solemn, “I indeed didn’t expect the situation to become like this.”
He thought about it and felt that it was reasonable.
Qi Ming cultivated in seclusion. His cultivation level had broken through to the late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm and he had grasped the Great Dao Divine Power: Dao Integration. Even the Heavenly Cycle Stars Array was unable to stop the commotion caused by his breakthrough.
Finally, the consequences erupted.
Heaven and earth phenomena were nurtured, and a Heaven and Earth Giant that stood on the continent of the Nine Provinces and had the horizon of the Nine Provinces above its head appeared. It was incomparably vast, and it even attracted the Heavenly Dao Tribulation Cloud.
Under such circumstances, when the three great factions of the Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty, the Myriad Race Alliance, and the Dao Sect Alliance saw such a phenomenon, they would only think that the Dao Validation Dao Fruit had appeared in the territory of the Primordial Demon Territory.
Under the stimulation of the Epoch Calamity, the Epoch Tribulation Qi surged in the world of the Nine Provinces Domain. The situation changed, and it affected the entire situation.
The Primordial Demon Sect became the target of everyone.
The Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty, the Myriad Race Alliance, the Dao Sect Alliance, the various factions, and the many hidden old fogies who had rushed back to the Upper World targeted the Primordial Demon Sect.
“In that case…”
Qi Ming pondered for a moment, “Actually, no matter how you explain it, such a vast phenomenon and commotion will make the Primordial Demon Sect suspicious. It will definitely be surrounded by the various large factions in the Nine Provinces Domain.”
“A battle is inevitable. It’s only a matter of time.”
Qi Ming took a step forward and left the room to go outside.
The celebration banquet was still held when Qi Ming flew to Qing Feiyun’s side.
“Senior Brother.” Qi Ming cupped his hands.
Qing Feiyun had drunk a lot of immortal wine. When he saw Qi Ming arrive, he stretched out his hand and held his shoulder, “Junior Brother, come, come. You came at the right time. Drink, drink. This is the Immortal King Drunk that has been brewed for a billion years. The taste is endless, as if you’ve established your Dao on the spot.”
“You’re the protagonist of this celebration.”
“You have to drink it.”
Qi Ming looked around. The Branch Masters had also drunk a lot. There were fine wine and delicacies, and the banquet was extremely lively. There was indeed a magnificent scene. It was like a paradise.
“Senior Brother, something happened.” Qi Ming said bluntly in Qing Feiyun’s ear, “Junior Brother’s breakthrough this time caused quite a commotion. It has already attracted the attention of many factions.”
“The Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty, the Myriad Race Alliance, and the Dao Sect Alliance are led by the three strongest factions. They have already mobilized the immortal army and are heading for the Primordial Demon Territory.”
“I’m afraid there will be a huge battle coming.”
“What did you say?!”
Qing Feiyun’s wine directly woke up. He suddenly stood up and his aura erupted. It was as if a pillar of light that shot into the sky was majestic.
Qi Ming nodded, “This is absolutely true.”
He waved his right hand, and the information jade slip flew out. Words appeared in midair, and the words continued to change, forming various scenes.
It was the scene of the various large factions gathering their armies.
These were the information that the World’s Freedom Buddha and Fang Ru had obtained.
The two of them did not obtain any information about the Dao Validation Dao Fruit, but they obtained other information. The ferocious beast riot in the nine provinces was caused by the Myriad Race Alliance.
In addition, Fang Ru also heard that the Myriad Race Alliance had a special method to control ferocious beasts.
In other words…
The ferocious beasts would become the power of the Myriad Race Alliance.
“I understand.”
Qing Feiyun took a deep breath and calmed down, “Junior Brother, don’t worry. The Primordial Demon Sect has existed for so long and stands at the Nine Provinces Domain. It’s not so simple.”
Qing Feiyun soared into the sky and stood in the sky. With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Creation Mirror appeared and covered the sky with a rainbow-like aura.
“Sect… Sect Master…”
“What happened?”
“This…”
“Sect Master, what are you doing?”
“What’s wrong?”
“…”
In the surroundings, the Branch Masters, elders, and disciples of the Primordial Demon Sect were all attracted to it. They raised their heads and looked at Qing Feiyun.
“In the entire Primordial Demon Sect, there are 108 lineages. All disciples, all elders, from the Grand Elders to the servant disciples of the various lineages.”
“Listen up!”
“Prepare for battle!”
Qing Feiyun roared loudly, “The Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty, the Myriad Race Alliance, and the Dao Sect Alliance. The three great factions have already gathered their troops and are heading towards us.”
“Prepare for battle!”
The Heavenly Creation Mirror displayed terrifying power in Qing Feiyun’s hand. It used unbelievable methods and projected various scenes.
In the scene projected by the Heavenly Creation Mirror, the three great factions of the Nine Provinces Domain had indeed gathered their troops and had already moved towards the Primordial Demon Territory.
“This…”
“Prepare for battle!”
“The Primordial Demon Territory is the territory of our Primordial Demon Sect. No matter who comes, we will make sure they never return!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
“…”
At this moment, the Branch Masters, elders, and disciples of the Primordial Demon Sect reacted. Their eyes were red as they all let out earth-shattering shouts.
The shouts seemed to scatter the clouds in the sky.
It was truly terrifying.
Qi Ming looked over. In his eyes, the Nine Provinces Domain was already completely enveloped in invisible and formless Tribulation Qi that could not be dissolved.
The Epoch Calamity Tribulation Qi surrounded every living being in the Nine Provinces Realm.
At this moment, the karma, evil, debts, and calamity of every living being in the Nine Provinces Domain were all stimulated by the Tribulation Qi. All of them were affected by the Tribulation Qi.
“Is this the Epoch Calamity?”
Qi Ming took a deep breath and calmed down. He pondered for a moment and said, “As expected, Upper World Immortal Kings and even existences below the Immortal realm will be swept into the Epoch Calamity. No one will be spared..”
