On her way out, Huo Xiaoxiao said coldly, "I heard that the second young master of the Immortal Sword Sect has become a bloodthirsty maniac, and there is no cure for him?"
"yes!"
"Then by killing the eldest young master, wouldn't that be equivalent to cutting off Duan Yu's lineage?"
"yes!"
"Aren't you worried about retaliation?"
"I'm scared, so I'm going to lay low for a while!"
Rumble...
Sudden.
Dark clouds rolled across the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and soon a torrential downpour began, with raindrops the size of beans.
A thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck, hitting the two not far away and splashing water everywhere.
Huo Xiaoxiao was startled: "What's going on? Could it be that you killed the young master of the Immortal Sword Sect and are going to be punished by heaven?"
"I don't think so?" Lan Hua asked suspiciously.
boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck not far from him, creating a deep crater and splashing dirt and debris onto his face.
Lan Hua didn't believe in divine retribution before, but now she's starting to believe it.
"I only killed someone who wanted to kill me, God, do you have to be so serious about this?" Lan Hua shouted to the sky.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.
"Lightning? Before cultivators become celestial beings, they must undergo a heavenly tribulation!"
"Could it be that a fellow cultivator is undergoing tribulation here?"
Lan Hua immediately shouted to the sky, "What fellow Daoist is here undergoing tribulation?"
"Do you need our help?"
Lan Hua called out several times, but there was no response.
Huo Xiaoxiao stood alone, bewildered in the wind and rain, quietly watching Lan Hua as if she were looking at a fool.
because.
She knew that there hadn't been any extraordinary feats of mortals undergoing tribulation on the Xuanhuang Continent for a long time; there hadn't been any before, and there wouldn't be any now.
Everyone believed that cultivators on the Xuanhuang Continent could never become celestial beings.
Seeing that there was no response, Lan Hua stopped and muttered, "Looks like it's not you undergoing tribulation, fellow Daoist!"
In the distance, several more bolts of lightning struck down, seemingly without any discernible pattern.
Suddenly, the earth began to shake violently, accompanied by a sky full of lightning, as if it were the end of the world.
Lan Hua summoned a black iron arrow, rode it into the sky, and flew higher and higher. Looking around, almost every place was filled with lightning and thunder.
Even on Jinwei Mountain, more than a dozen lightning bolts struck in a short time, causing rocks to crack and roll down the mountain.
Lan Hua landed next to Huo Xiaoxiao and exclaimed, "This thunder is unusual! I feel like the entire Xuanhuang Continent is being bombarded by thunder!"
at the same time.
Along the eastern, southern, western, and northern coasts of the Xuanhuang Continent, towering waves threaten to engulf the continent.
The thunder and earth-shaking continued for quite a while before gradually subsiding.
The heavy rain has stopped.
Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, "This is truly bizarre! Everything was fine, but suddenly the world is in turmoil, and it feels like the end of the world!"
Huo Xiaoxiao seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed drastically.
"Could this be the sign of the five signs of decay in the universe?"
Lan Hua asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Looking at the devastation of Jinwei Mountain from afar, He Guinian sighed, "The first of the five signs of decay has finally arrived!"
Second Elder Wang Guiwu exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Master, are you sure?"
"Yes, the heavens and earth shook, and lightning flashed and thunder roared!"
"The sect leader of the Immortal Talisman Sect just sent me a message saying that the sea has reversed and the Eastern Region is in chaos!"
Wang Guiwu said, "Is this the first sign of misfortune, a flood?"
He Guinian nodded slowly, "Has the sect suffered any losses?"
Wang Guiwu said, "Elder Lu has already gone to check and will be there shortly!"
Huo Xiaoxiao said, "I once heard the elders in the sect say that the spiritual energy of the Xuanyu World has been leaking all along, and it will eventually experience the five signs of decay of heaven and earth and become a dead and desolate place!"
Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, "Then what we just experienced must have been the first major misfortune!"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded slowly.
"Damn it, I've only ever heard of the five signs of decay in the heavens and man, I never knew there was such a thing as the five signs of decay in the universe!"
Lan Hua asked, "How long does it take to experience all five signs of decay?"
Huo Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I don't know either, and no one else knows either. Maybe a thousand years, maybe ten thousand years, maybe a hundred years!"
"A hundred years is probably impossible; the decline of the sun will take time!" Lan Hua thought to herself.
Lan Hua asked in surprise, "How could a calamity of heaven and earth suddenly occur?"
Huo Xiaoxiao said, "I don't know about that. It might be for the same reason why no one has undergone tribulation in the Xuanhuang Continent for a long time!"
Lan Hua suddenly thought of the Death Continent and the War of the Four Emperors.
"Could this be the result of a war between the four Earthly Emperors?"
Huo Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I don't know!"
The two of them walked aimlessly, not knowing where to go.
It was already dark.
Suddenly, the communication jade talisman in Lan Hua's arms stirred; the message was from her assassin friend, Zhao Xueli.
Lan Hua held the communication jade talisman to his ear and said, "Congratulations, Brother Zhao, on breaking through to the Yuan Dan Realm. Remember to treat me to a few drinks another day!"
"What congratulations? Something terrible has happened, do you know?"
Lan Hua smiled wryly and said, "I know, isn't it just the first of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Earth?"
Zhao Xueli, on the other end of the line, shook his head and said, "No, even if heaven and earth were gone, we couldn't care less. It's the number one blessed land of the Xuanhuang Continent that's in trouble!"
"The First Blessed Land?" Lan Hua asked, somewhat puzzled.
Zhao Xueli said, "This time, the calamity of heaven and earth caused a great earthquake, which actually brought the ruins of the First Blessed Land to light!"
"remains?"
Not only was Lan Hua surprised, but Huo Xiaoxiao was also taken aback.
Zhao Xueli said, "I've heard that there are treasures in the Blessed Land ruins. Now, all the major sects and many independent cultivators are rushing to the First Blessed Land. Do you want to go?"
"Treasures? We absolutely have to go!" Lan Hua exclaimed excitedly.
If there are treasures to be had, only a fool wouldn't go.
"The first blessed land is in the Liutao Great Swamp in the southeast of the Western Regions. Hurry up and come, or you won't even get a sip of soup!"
"Alright, Brother Zhao, see you at Liutao Marsh!"
After Lan Hua disconnected the communication jade talisman, she laughed and said, "Miss Xiao Xiao, how about going to the Liutao Great Swamp? There are treasures there!"
Huo Xiaoxiao snorted, "So happy, huh? Don't you know that when a great calamity occurs, it is often accompanied by the birth of rare treasures? It seems that the Xuanyu World is really doomed!"
Lan Hua didn't care about anything else, "So, are you going or not?"
“Go!” Huo Xiaoxiao readily agreed.
Lan Hua used her flying arrow technique to carry Huo Xiaoxiao towards Liutao Mountain.
On the road.
Lan Hua asked, "Miss Xiao Xiao, what is this blessed land that Brother Zhao mentioned?"
Huo Xiaoxiao said, "The Xuanyu World has nine blessed lands in total. The Xuanhuang Continent occupies four of them, and the Death Continent occupies five of them, but the number one blessed land is in the Xuanhuang Continent!"
"However, the blessed land of the Death Continent was destroyed after the War of Emperors, leaving only the blessed land of the Xuanhuang Continent!"
"The so-called blessed land is nothing more than a place favored by heaven and earth, occupying the spiritual veins of the continent, where the spiritual energy is far more concentrated than in other places!"
Lan Hua asked curiously, "Where are the blessed lands of the Xuanhuang Continent located?"
Huo Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "The first blessed land is in the Liutao Great Swamp in the Western Region, the third blessed land is in Danhua Mountain in the Central Region, the fourth blessed land is in Luojia Mountain in the Central Region, and the fifth blessed land is in Linghua Mountain in the Southern Region!"
"Danhua Mountain is actually the third blessed land! No wonder the Dan God Palace is located there! It turns out that the Dan Heavenly Emperor didn't choose it randomly!" Lan Hua was surprised.
