Chapter 1999 Strange Changes in Various Immortal Cities!
Human Frontline...
A solitary immortal city standing on the blue sea is the core immortal city guarded by the human race in this sea area.
The main hall in the center of the immortal city was solemn and majestic, filled with spiritual energy.
The pillars and beams inside the hall are carved with patterns to ward off evil and protect the way, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
next moment.
A Nascent Soul True Monarch, dressed in a blue-patterned Taoist robe and possessing a composed demeanor, bowed deeply, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and reported in a solemn voice:
"Reporting to Senior!"
Of the cultivator teams dispatched to the front lines for reconnaissance and garrison duties, twelve have yet to return to the city.
Seated atop the high throne was a figure with an obscure and profound aura, revealing no secrets whatsoever.
It was none other than the human race's half-saint powerhouse—the Celestial Pivot Half-Saint.
His aura was restrained, seemingly ordinary, yet he possessed an unparalleled majesty that suppressed the entire scene, making people dare not look him in the eye.
Upon hearing the report, the Celestial Pivot Half-Venerable frowned slightly, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Issue my decree: all squads currently stationed outside must return at full speed without delay!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Nascent Soul True Lord bowed respectfully to receive the order and turned to deliver the message.
Just at this time,
A powerful late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, clad in heavy black iron armor and exuding a chilling and domineering aura, stepped forward.
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and asked in a deep voice, his tone tinged with doubt:
"senior!
Now, the True Dragon Sea outside the great formation has completely transformed into a blood-red sea.
The danger was lurking and unpredictable.
A large number of cultivators are needed to guard and protect the area from external disturbances and the invasion of evil spirits.
"To suddenly order a full retreat and clear out all offshore patrols at this moment seems rather inappropriate to me, and could potentially create hidden dangers!"
With this remark,
The other dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators in the main hall all turned their heads, their gazes all focusing on the high platform.
Their eyes also held the same doubt and confusion.
The cultivators stationed at the front line knew the situation at sea was perilous, and a sudden withdrawal would be a prudent move, so they were filled with doubts.
The Celestial Pivot Half-Saint sat serenely on his throne, his expression calm, and slowly began to explain.
A calm and powerful voice that soothes the mind.
"I know that you have doubts in your hearts and find it difficult to understand this decree."
"However, this decree was not made by me privately, but was personally issued by the Chairman."
He ordered all the garrison cultivators at the front line to immediately recall all dispatched teams and return to the city to await further orders.
The Chairman is incredibly shrewd; this arrangement must be part of a far-reaching plan that is beyond our comprehension.
You only need to strictly follow the decree and carry it out with peace of mind.”
He paused slightly,
Tian Shu, the half-saint, added again, his tone solemn:
"Furthermore, the guild master specifically warned that a sudden and drastic change will occur in the sea area in the coming days."
You need not panic, each of you should perform your duties.
"Simply appease the cultivators and common people within the city, and stabilize public morale."
"We obey!"
All the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall bowed and clasped their fists in unison, responding in unison. Their doubts subsided, and they had no further objections.
Just as the atmosphere in the main hall was returning to calm...
A series of hurried footsteps broke the solemnity as they rushed in from outside the hall.
A Golden Core cultivator dressed in plain, close-fitting clothes, with a hurried expression, rushed into the main hall, bowed, clasped his hands in greeting, and was slightly out of breath.
"Reporting to seniors and lords, a sudden change has occurred in the outer seas, and an urgent report has arrived!"
On the high platform, the Heavenly Pivot Half-Saint's eyes flickered slightly, and he uttered a single word indifferently:
"Say!"
The eyes of all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the hall instantly focused on this Golden Core cultivator, and an invisible high-level pressure suddenly descended.
With only Golden Core cultivation, facing several Nascent Soul experts and a half-Saint level powerhouse, the pressure instantly increased exponentially, and his entire body tensed.
Even his breathing became labored and slow, and fine beads of cold sweat quietly seeped from his forehead.
But knowing the urgency of the situation, he dared not delay for even a moment, suppressing his fear, and urgently reported in a loud voice:
"Reporting to seniors and esteemed officials, the eerie crimson seawater that had spread for thousands of miles outside the great formation has only just receded completely."
It has completely disappeared!
After these words were spoken,
The expressions of everyone in the hall shifted slightly, and someone couldn't help but whisper a question:
"Really? The entire sea of blood has vanished?"
"Absolutely true!"
"As I witnessed with my own eyes, the blood-red seawater and the blood-red mist have completely vanished; the True Dragon Sea has returned to its former glory!"
The Golden Core cultivator quickly and confidently replied.
"Ah."
The Celestial Pivot Half-Saint nodded slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. His expression remained calm and composed as he waved his hand and said indifferently,
"You may step back now."
"Yes!"
The Golden Core cultivator felt as if he had been granted a pardon, bowed respectfully, and quickly left the main hall.
After the palace doors closed, the Celestial Pivot Half-Venerable slowly swept his gaze across the Nascent Soul cultivators below, and spoke in a deep voice, his tone tinged with contemplation:
"Gentlemen, this blood-red sea of blood and blood-fiend mist arrived strangely and abruptly, without any warning."
Now it has suddenly vanished without a trace.
Whether this sudden rise and fall is auspicious or inauspicious remains to be seen.
As soon as he finished speaking,
A handsome, youthful-looking Nascent Soul cultivator stepped forward slowly from the hall, his tone resolute:
"In my humble opinion, such a world-changing transformation is by no means ordinary."
It's most likely related to the president.
Upon hearing this,
A veteran Nascent Soul cultivator with white hair and an aged face immediately nodded in agreement, his tone respectful:
"That's absolutely right!"
Looking across this world, among the billions of human cultivators, apart from that guild leader, who else possesses such heaven-shaking methods and boundless power to shake the ocean and reverse the course of creation?
This upheaval must have been His doing!
"..."
Just as the Nascent Soul cultivators were whispering among themselves...
A deafening roar that shook the very soul suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
Boom—!
Boom! Boom!
A series of deafening roars erupted from the heavens and the depths of the sea, far beyond anything ordinary thunder could produce.
The rolling roar transformed into a tangible, violent sonic wave, sweeping across all directions in layers.
It forcefully pierced through the thick protective array that enveloped the entire immortal city.
Its sound resounded without obstruction in the ears and minds of every cultivator in the city.
Even with the array buffering and reducing most of its power, the resounding boom was still powerful and domineering, causing the eardrums of low-level cultivators to buzz and their minds to tremble violently.
Before the loud noise subsided, an even more terrifying anomaly followed.
The earth suddenly began to shake violently!
The entire island, suspended above the vast sea, seemed to be gripped and shaken by an invisible giant hand!
The island was violently shaking and trembling.
A muffled, cracking rumble echoed from deep within the rock strata, giving one the involuntary feeling that the heavens and earth were about to collapse.
It's as if this enormous fairy island, standing tall in the vast ocean, will completely crumble and sink into the deep sea at any moment.
At the same moment,
The newly built palaces, pavilions, caves, and halls within the immortal city all shook violently.
The wind chimes on the eaves trembled wildly, the sacred tiles on the roof fell off in a flurry, and the spiritual light on the walls shifted erratically.
The layers of defensive formations and protective barriers that covered the entire immortal city were suddenly activated.
Countless golden and cyan spiritual light patterns flashed rapidly and intermittently on the walls, floor, and pillars of the hall.
The light flickered, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.
The array barrier fluctuated violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Fortunately...
All the buildings in this immortal city are made of spiritual materials.
Moreover, it was reinforced by multiple arrays and layers of restrictions from the very beginning of its construction, making its foundation extremely stable.
Otherwise, under this sudden and terrifying force that could shake mountains, the entire immortal city's buildings and palaces would have collapsed instantly, turning into ruins.
Even more fortunately, this place is a celestial city inhabited by cultivators, where mortals are nowhere to be found.
All the permanent residents possess cultivation skills.
Therefore, despite this sudden and devastating event, no casualties or horrific incidents occurred within the city.
However, chaos suddenly arose, and people were filled with anxiety.
But stability is ultimately only relative.
The sudden and violent tremor threw countless cultivators in the city into chaos, revealing a myriad of reactions.
Countless Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators within the city lost their composure and instantly panicked.
Some people lost their footing, staggered and fell to the ground, desperately gripping the spiritual patterns on the ground with their hands and feet, their faces pale;
Some people panicked, looking around frantically and running about, shouting in alarm.
Some people lost their composure, their consciousness turbulent, their meager spiritual energy flowing erratically and reversibly, their bodies swaying precariously.
All sorts of embarrassing and ugly behaviors were on full display.
High-level cultivators who have reached the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage ultimately possess profound knowledge and a calm mind.
Even though they didn't lose their composure, they were still deeply affected by this sudden change. They stopped what they were doing, stood still, their brows furrowed, their eyes filled with solemnity and surprise, and their gazes quickly swept around.
After a few breaths of deathly silence...
The suppressed panic finally erupted.
A cacophony of buzzing discussions, exclamations, and whispers surged forth like a tide from every street and alley of the immortal city, rising and falling in waves.
The once orderly immortal city instantly descended into chaos and disorder.
At the edge of a bustling street in the city, two figures who were about to leave together suddenly stopped in their tracks, their bodies swaying slightly.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator on the left turned pale, his eyes filled with astonishment and doubt, and he subconsciously whispered something.
His voice trembled uncontrollably.
"What exactly caused this sudden and violent tremor?"
Could it be the surviving powerful demons seeking revenge?
Upon hearing this,
His friend beside him frowned, raising his hand to stroke his chin.
After a moment of deep thought, a hint of speculation flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke:
"Do you think... is there such a possibility?"
"What's possible?!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator on the left immediately looked up, his eyes filled with eagerness and curiosity, and hurriedly asked.
The cultivator on the right grew increasingly cautious, quickly glancing around to make sure no high-level cultivators were watching and there were no unusual movements. He then leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and whispered mysteriously:
"I'm just guessing, could this strange change be due to a flaw in our island protection formation, creating a hidden danger?"
Upon hearing this, the young cultivator on the left immediately brightened up, nodding repeatedly in deep agreement:
Now that you mention it, it's quite possible.
I had previously heard from the elders of the sect that this protective array is not only the strongest reliance for our immortal city to survive, but also...
It is also one of the foundations of an unparalleled and terrifying array.
He took a deep breath, gazing at the trembling earth beneath his feet, his tone growing increasingly solemn:
"If that great formation is damaged or malfunctions,
The residual force of the earthquake reached this place, causing the immortal island beneath our feet to tremble violently, which makes perfect sense!
"That's right, that's what I guessed too."
The cultivator beside him nodded heavily, his eyes filled with even greater doubt.
“No ordinary celestial phenomena could possess such power; there must be something wrong with the grand formation.”
"..."
Similar speculations and whispers quietly spread throughout countless corners of the immortal city.
People's hearts are becoming increasingly restless.
Just as everyone was speculating about the unusual movement of the formation...
Beside a secluded pavilion in the Immortal City, an incredulous exclamation suddenly rang out.
"Something's not right! Something's not right!"
A Golden Core cultivator, dressed in a blue robe and exuding a calm aura, suddenly stopped, closed his eyes, and concentrated on sensing for a moment.
When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with shock and horror, and his tone was full of disbelief:
"Have you noticed... that the entire fairy island beneath our feet seems to be moving!"
Upon hearing this, his old friend, who had been by his side for hundreds of years, immediately shook his head and chuckled, instinctively denying it with an unwavering tone:
"My friend, you are mistaken. That is far too alarmist."
"Have you forgotten that this immortal island was personally created by the guild leader, who used unparalleled divine powers to gather and condense the essence of the seabed's veins!"
"The entire island's foundation is deeply embedded in the seabed, tens of thousands of meters below the surface, and is connected to the geological veins of the entire sea area."
In addition, layers of formations held it firmly, making it as stable as a rock.
To shake or move such a behemoth, one must first destroy its seabed foundation and the island's protective array.
Otherwise, there is absolutely no possibility whatsoever!
The Golden Core cultivator in green robes nodded slightly, agreeing with his old friend's statement, but the solemnity between his brows remained unchanged. He then gently shook his head, his tone firm:
"I understand the reasoning, but my perception at this moment is absolutely correct."
“We have known each other for hundreds of years, and you have always known that my innate spiritual sense far surpasses that of ordinary people and has always been extremely accurate.”
His gaze fell upon the vast ocean, his expression solemn.
"Last time, when the two of us ventured deep into dangerous territory in search of rare herbs, it was only thanks to my spiritual sense that I sensed the deadly danger in advance and decisively withdrew that we were able to survive."
otherwise!
We have already perished in that dangerous place!
"But... how can such a huge island move? This is simply too incredible..."
My old friend still looked incredulous, unable to accept this absurd fact.
Before the two finished speaking...
Suddenly, a series of extremely shocking exclamations came from afar, instantly echoing through the streets and reaching the ears of the two.
The news spread throughout the entire Immortal City.
"Oh no! It really moved!"
The entire fairy island is truly moving at breakneck speed!
"My God! This speed is incredible, comparable to a top-tier airship!"
"More than that!"
Even when I fully activated my natal flying artifact, the speed was far from this!
This magnificent, thousand-mile-long island has actually been moved!
"..."
Countless cultivators looked up and gazed into the distance, watching the rapidly receding sea of clouds and ocean outlines around them. Their pupils contracted sharply, and their minds were shaken.
The uproar throughout the city grew louder and louder.
An atmosphere of panic completely enveloped the entire immortal city.
Just as chaos and panic were raging beneath the immortal city...
Seven hundred thousand miles away, inside the main hall of another core immortal island, the atmosphere was completely different.
The majestic and solemn hall was empty and solemn, with dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators standing inside, their auras powerful and their presence imposing!
They are all top-tier combatants on this front.
They are also the top leaders of various departments in this immortal city.
The island just now shook...
Inside the hall, everyone was whispering and speculating, their voices rising and falling in waves.
A clear, cold, and indifferent female voice, yet filled with supreme authority, suddenly rang out, dominating the entire scene:
"quiet!"
