The young man remained calm and composed. Despite being just a child under thirty, he showed no embarrassment whatsoever in the face of the two old monsters.
He is neither arrogant nor humble, and possesses sufficient strength and wisdom; he is truly a remarkable talent.
No wonder the Demon Lord was willing to pave the way for him.
If such a young man had not met with an unforeseen demise, his future achievements would likely have exceeded everyone's expectations.
...But isn't it more interesting to see such promising talents fail?
The shadow that had once been forever out of reach suddenly appeared before his eyes, its voice, appearance, and smile overlapping with Ji Mofan's, gradually blurring and merging into one.
That man never looked back at him even once until his death.
He didn't even know that Qu Jin had secretly sabotaged his defensive formation while he was preparing to undergo the tribulation of ascension.
As the lightning struck, the thick protective shield cracked with spiderweb-like fissures. The clear eyes looking upward reflected the lightning and thunder, as well as the glimmers of spiritual energy flickering in mid-air between the shattering of the barrier.
"...Moonlight, it seems Heaven still won't help lovers..."
After he murmured those words, a flash of light from the sky engulfed him.
Although he was barely saved in the end, his foundation was damaged, all his meridians were shattered, and he had no chance of cultivation again.
Even so, that person never looked back at him once, and disappeared from the cultivation world with his weapon-forging creations, leaving him with no clues whatsoever.
Qu Jin's eyes flickered.
After three thousand years, he finally found a glimmer of hope, and he will never give up.
I would rather die than do that.
Under the calm night sky, the weather suddenly changed.
Two forces, one bright and one dark, collided abruptly in mid-air, the intense flash and sound waking the sleeping world.
Ji Mofan raised his hand to block the gust of wind, which was as sharp as a knife, and in doing so, he also scooped up the little black bird that was being blown around on the ground.
"How come it's so heavy?" He was startled when he reached out and picked it up. "How much have you been eating lately?"
The little black bird's feathers were blown about, and its action of covering its face with its wings was unclear whether it was to shield itself from the wind or because it felt embarrassed.
When Ji Mo Fan touched it, he discovered that the soft feathers it used to have had been replaced, and they no longer felt soft to the touch.
Without time to think too much, he grabbed the unfortunate chick and quickly moved away from the center of the trouble.
This is the Chaoming Palace. Two Mahayana stage opponents are locked in a fierce battle. It's not just the cultivators from their sect who will be affected; the surrounding mortal cities, large and small, that are under their protection will also be doomed.
When Qu Jin confronted Xiao Wangyan, he didn't hesitate at all, showing no fear of the ordinary people who would be affected by their battle.
However, the prosperity of Jimo cannot be ignored.
A loud talisman flew into the sky, and its clear voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth amidst the storm.
"All disciples of the Chaoming Palace, listen to my command: each go to the surrounding towns to evacuate ordinary people and ensure that mortals are not affected by the war."
"Send messages to all sects and families, large and small, informing the entire cultivation world as quickly as possible."
Although the disciples of Chaoming Hall are not very cohesive, they are willing to obey orders from those they have chosen.
Streaks of light then radiated from Chaoming Palace to the surrounding areas, and Ji Mofan watched as the cities below the mountain, which had fallen into silence, lit up with bright flames one by one.
The light seemed to be contagious; soon a bright torrent flowed through all the alleys and lanes of the city, gathering together and rushing quickly northward.
The city of Jimo, which is surrounded by Chaoming Palace, is so busy that I haven't had time to explore it properly. I didn't expect that the people there would be so accepting of the instructions issued by the disciples of Chaoming Palace in the middle of the night.
Within half an incense stick's time, young people who were able to move around took their necessary luggage and set off on the official road, while the elderly, weak, women, and children who were not able to move around all boarded the flying magical artifacts prepared by the Chaoming Palace.
"The Palace Master had a premonition about today's events two years ago." Zheng Xianchan ran to Ji Mofan's side with his sword in hand. "He has held several drills around the area over the past two years, and now they have come in handy."
Ji Mo Fan then understood why the residents had reacted so quickly.
Contrary to expectations, the chaos did not materialize. Everyone proceeded in an orderly fashion, escorted by the Chaoming Palace disciples who flew around on their swords to protect them, and quickly moved away from the center of the conflict.
Zheng Xianchan had just gone to the city at the foot of the mountain, and then returned to maintain the defenses of Chaoming Palace.
Those responsible for evacuating civilians were all outer disciples; the servants had already been sent away along with the civilians, while the more powerful inner disciples flew off to various places to deliver messages.
Now, only a few elders and true disciples remain in the Chaoming Hall.
There weren't enough people. After all, no one could have predicted that the conflict would erupt tonight. Some people were still out there training, while others had gone to some unknown corner to cultivate in seclusion.
Ji Mofan reinforced the sect's protective formation once more, and then made another trip to Guixu.
"You're going to cast the communication array thousands of times in one go?" Even Xie Qingya was nearly startled. "Are you kidding me? Your soul will be torn to shreds!"
"Are you drunk or am I drunk?"
"You've had too much to drink." Ji Mofan didn't even look up, continuing to draw the array on the ground.
This time, the communication array was drawn on an unprecedented scale.
Even though the disciples that can be found in the sect and through communication talismans have been removed, there are still some disciples who cannot be contacted.
"Master, I may not have the strength to explain the current situation later, so I will have to trouble you to speak for me." After finishing the last character, Ji Mo Fan Cai finally looked up at Xie Qing Ya.
Xie Qingya really wanted to smash a wine gourd over his head and knock him unconscious.
At least when you faint, you won't think about these shocking things.
Conversing with thousands of people simultaneously in one breath? Xie Qingya had lived for three hundred years and had never even heard of such a thing.
At most, you can only call a dozen or so people at a time, and that's only if the timing, location, and people are all right.
Xie Qingya looked up at the sky above.
Haha, I don't know if people are getting along or not, but the weather is definitely not good.
The dark clouds were also drawn by this epic battle, turning so dark they seemed to drip onto the ground, as if the sky were about to collapse.
The celestial phenomena that could have aided the communication array are not observable at all.
If he cannot borrow the power of the stars, then everything will depend on Ji Mofan's own destiny.
But Xie Qingya did not stop him any further; he nodded silently.
The array on the ground suddenly lit up with a dazzling spiritual light, and the water in the pool of Guixu Lantern Island almost stopped flowing.
The soul lamp rose from within, and thousands of lotus flowers bloomed simultaneously in mid-air, their soul flames burning fiercely as they rushed toward the array drawn by Ji Mofan.
A wave of dizziness hit Ji Mofan like a heavy hammer in the face. No matter how hard he tried to stand, he couldn't stay upright and fell backward, only to be caught by a pure white embrace.
Before his consciousness sank into chaos, he heard the divine souls summoned from the formation calling out to him.
"Senior Brother, Elder Xie, something has happened on the frontier!"
"The demonic cultivators have suddenly declared war!"
