"No, I want to go to the front lines too!" Chen Zhouxing said sternly. "Our cultivation levels are considered top-notch in the cultivation world. If even we can't go, how can you possibly hold off those evil cultivators?"

Currently, there are only about 10,000 Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world, and most of them are in the early or middle stages, while there are at least 20,000 evil cultivators.

If only Nascent Soul stage cultivators are sent to the front lines, the burden on their shoulders would be far too heavy.

“Let us go too. Every extra person adds to our strength, and we can definitely help in some way.”

He knew that his master wanted to protect them, to let them live a little longer, and perhaps even until a turning point appeared, in which case they could save their lives.

But ever since they left the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion that day, they had been prepared to sacrifice themselves for the cultivation world.

They never thought they would survive this catastrophe.

Zhong Chuan's face hardened. "Don't be ridiculous. Didn't you hear what Sect Master Shen and Young Master Qi Yan were saying?"

"The evil cultivators in the transitional realm are all at the late Mahayana stage, while those evil cultivators left in the Yin World are at least at the Nascent Soul stage."

"Among you young people, apart from Sect Master Shen who is already at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the highest level of the others is only at the mid-to-late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. You are simply not good enough to face those evil cultivators."

Now that things have come to this, Zhong Chuan can no longer care about hurting their pride and can only tell the truth.

Their power was too weak; compared to those evil cultivators, it was like a drop in the ocean.

"It's not just about protecting your lives; it's the best option. With you behind us, it will be easier for us to fight the evil cultivators in front of us," Zhong Chuan sighed.

Jiang Wensheng picked up where Zhong Chuan left off, "What's more, after we old folks die, we'll have to rely on you youngsters to carry on the sect's glory."

If by then the cultivation world hasn't fallen into the hands of evil cultivators and become a hellish place.

Since the ending was already destined to involve separation and death, Jiang Wensheng no longer shied away from these things. He would bring them up more often so that they could get used to it.

When that time actually comes, the younger generation might not be so heartbroken.

“I know where the passage connecting the two worlds is,” Chen Sangruo said. “Yin Hong has relevant information in his memories.”

After all, it was through that passage that they went to the underworld.

"If there are no unforeseen circumstances, the passage should also be in that location after the two worlds reconnect, not far from here."

"Alright, let's not delay any longer and start making preparations now."

Everyone nodded, stood up, and returned to their respective sects to prepare to mobilize their forces.

Although most of those who can fight against evil cultivators are elders, the struggle against evil cultivators is not just a simple contest of strength.

They could have used this half-month to build a series of defensive lines around the passage using various magical artifacts.

This also requires manpower; everyone can contribute their share to the cultivation world.

"I wonder if we'll ever have the chance to gather together like this again," Liang Yue said regretfully, watching the crowd gradually disperse. "It's unlikely, so very unlikely."

I'm afraid there will be no more chances.

After everyone finished their discussion, they were now making the most of the time to establish as many defensive lines as possible.

On the other side, in the underworld.

Qi Chong stared maliciously at one of the evil cultivators beside him, "Have you found out the reason for that strange movement before?"

Not long ago, the underworld suddenly became turbulent. Although it quickly returned to calm, it still aroused Qi Chong's vigilance.

Ever since the evil scheme was foiled by the cultivator named Shen Sangruo, Qi Chong's heart has been uneasy.

He would dream of that face that made him grit his teeth in hatred, a smug smile that he loathed.

He said to him, "I've found you. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? You evil cultivators are destined to be defeated by me. Prepare to die."

It was almost becoming his nightmare. How could he, the leader of the evil cultivators, be so easily frightened by someone who was not even a fraction of his age? It was truly laughable!

The reason for this was that Chen Sangruo was too hateful, repeatedly ruining his plans and leaving a deep impression on him.

He felt that this Shen Sangruo was definitely his nemesis, and also the nemesis of their evil cultivation.

During this period, Qi Chong's temperament became increasingly violent and unpredictable, and the evil cultivators who followed him had changed several times.

He has already thrown quite a few heretical cultivators into that furnace.

Having learned from his previous experiences, he was afraid that Shen Sangruo would cause some trouble again, so he paid extra attention to the turmoil in the underworld this time.

The only system that could observe the situation in the cultivation world was also destroyed by Shen Sangruo, so they had no idea what the situation was like in the cultivation world.

Qi Chong felt even more uneasy.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we have not found the cause. We have thoroughly explored the Yin World and found nothing unusual."

"There have been no further anomalies. It's possible that the underworld just suddenly became unstable and went through a period of turmoil before resuming normal operation."

The heretical cultivator beside Qi Chong was recounting the results of his investigation.

The instability of the underworld is something all evil cultivators know, but after being cut off from the cultivation world and settling down for thousands of years, the underworld rarely experiences instability.

"You haven't found a specific reason. It might just be that the world is unstable. Is this the result of your investigation, given how uncertain the cause is?" Qi Chong lifted his eyelids and stared straight at the evil cultivator, his low voice filled with murderous intent.

The evil cultivator was startled by the look in that gaze, and his body trembled like a leaf.

His voice suddenly rose, "Useless!"

"I don't keep useless people under my command. If you can't even figure out this little thing, you might as well get into the furnace right now!"

The evil cultivator shuddered; he certainly didn't want to become nourishment for that furnace.

He quickly added, "There's another possibility, there's another possibility, my lord!"

"explain."

"That means the people in the cultivation world found the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers and tried to destroy them, which would also cause such an anomaly."

Before Qi Chong could say anything, the evil cultivator dismissed the idea, saying, "Of course, I think that possibility is not high."

"Let's not even talk about how they knew we weren't in the cultivation world, or how they knew about the relationship between the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers and the Yin World."

“Take the seven layers of barriers we set up around the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers back then, they couldn’t break through them at all.”

"Those white fluffs, those special gases, even the Five Divine Beasts couldn't handle them."

"The key to the last layer of defense was taken to the Transitional Realm by Yin Hong and his group, and they have firmly controlled the Transitional Realm."

"How could those people in the cultivation world possibly obtain the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers?"
