Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The statue's face was lifelike, clad in a Bei Clan robe; it was none other than the Bei Clan's current Clan Leader, and Eldest Senior Sister Bei Qingtang's grandfather, Bei Cangxuan!

Xu Zhangqing found it unbelievable: "Why is it him?"

Suddenly, a chill ran straight up his spine to the top of his head.

This was the first time since he began cultivating that he felt a bone-chilling dread.

Earlier, in the Ancestral Hall of the Bei Clan Forbidden Ground, he had clearly seen Bei Cangxuan's spirit tablet.

Logically, since the man had passed away, why was his statue here?

And it was guarded layer upon layer by spiderwebs, as if being worshipped like a deity.

For a moment, Xu Zhangqing truly could not tell whether Bei Cangxuan was dead, or continuing to "live" in some strange way.

After the shock, Xu Zhangqing quickly calmed down.

At the same time, a thought suddenly arose.

Since the statue was not the Wu Sheng Chong Mu, had He already transferred?

Following this line of thought, Xu Zhangqing soon thought of a place.

Yaoguang Nine Domains!

Previously, when the Qinghua Flowing Radiance Phenomenon appeared, many Spirit Insect Cultivators had appeared in that place, even finding Yaoguang Cave.

Thinking about it now, they were probably scouting the way for the Wu Sheng Chong Mu.

Once he figured this out, Xu Zhangqing breathed a sigh of relief instead.

The Wu Sheng Chong Mu was unfathomable; now that the other party was not here, Xu Qiansui wouldn't have to face that terrifying existence directly, and there was a bit less danger.

The problem was that Eldest Senior Sister's whereabouts still had not been found.

Xu Zhangqing dared not be negligent and immediately ordered: "Qiansui, carefully search the entire Kengdong, do not miss any corner."

Xu Qiansui turned around and began to carefully search inside the Kengdong, which was covered in spiderwebs.

He felt his way along the rock wall and checked every inch around the Shen Kan, but apart from spiderwebs everywhere, dead spider corpses, and this statue of Bei Cangxuan, there was nothing else of value.

There was neither a trace of the Wu Sheng Chong Mu nor any clue related to Bei Qingtang.

Xu Zhangqing was doubtful: "Nothing here, nothing there, where exactly is Eldest Senior Sister?"

Bei Qingtang was a Nascent Soul Cultivator with considerable cultivation; it was impossible for her to vanish without cause.

The Luo River Bei Clan was her clan, and the Kengdong was once an outpost of the Wu Sheng Chong Mu; neither of these two critical places had any trace, which was truly unbelievable.

After a while, Xu Qiansui finished the exploration and leaped out of the Kengdong.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing remembered something.

If Eldest Senior Sister had not lied, the Luo River Bei Clan was not an ordinary clan, but the Xuanhe Spirit Clan with an ancient inheritance.

The clansmen had an innate bond with water, and most of their cultivation methods were related to water.

Since the Wu Sheng Chong Mu had most likely transferred to Yaoguang Nine Domains, would Eldest Senior Sister, who was closely related to the Xuanhe Spirit Clan, also have been transferred there?

Once this thought arose, Xu Zhangqing found it increasingly reasonable.

The Wu Sheng Chong Mu was deeply involved with the Bei Clan; perhaps Eldest Senior Sister's disappearance was closely related to the Wu Sheng Chong Mu's transfer plan.

It seemed he had to make another trip to Yaoguang Nine Domains, especially Yaoguang Cave, to find out if this guess was correct.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing decisively ordered: "Qiansui, leave the Luo River first, then make a trip to Yaoguang Nine Domains."

Remember, stay low profile along the way and avoid all trouble.

……

……

After instructing Xu Qiansui, Xu Zhangqing actively cut off his vision, flashed out of his Personal Space, and walked out of the cultivation room filled with Spiritual Arrays and Restrictions.

For now, he had some initial clues about Eldest Senior Sister's whereabouts.

Moreover, Xu Qiansui was going to investigate Yaoguang Nine Domains.

What was most important on his end was one: notifying his Grandmaster about the matter, and two: the two Disciples who were about to undergo the Calamity.

Xu Zhangqing first used the Si Geng Token to contact Grandmaster Mu, reporting one by one the news that the Luo River Bei Clan had been infiltrated by the Wu Sheng Chong Mu, Bei Cangxuan's statue appeared in the Shen Kan, and the Wu Sheng Chong Mu was suspected to have transferred to Yaoguang Nine Domains.

Mu Ji said to let him first focus on the matter of the Disciples undergoing the Calamity, and he would personally make a trip to Yaoguang Nine Domains later.

After receiving definite instructions, Xu Zhangqing summoned Sun Shangxiang and Lin Feng, finalized the time for undergoing the Calamity, and finally chose the day the Spiritual Qi Tide erupted.

Because at that time, the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was the richest and purest.

"Grandmaster, what exactly is undergoing the Calamity like?"

"We are experiencing it for the first time, and it feels very complicated."

"Right, both excited and nervous, and even a bit uneasy!"

The two Disciples looked at each other and asked for advice one after another.

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing comforted them: "How to put it, if you are well prepared and your foundation is fine, then undergoing the Calamity is actually not much different from a vacation."

For example, when I broke through to Extreme Grade Nascent Soul, facing Fifteen Layers of Thunder Sea.

Not only was I not injured, but I even had the leisure to drink tea and barbecue.

Sun Shangxiang took a deep breath: "During this period, I asked many people, and they all said undergoing the Calamity is very dangerous, and one careless mistake would result in body and soul destruction."

Lin Feng instead waved his hand: "Senior Sister, those who failed either lacked preparation or had insufficient foundation."

Unlike us, although we are not Immortal Sect Disciples, we have Grandmaster's care.

This flattery was not only well-delivered but left no trace.

In the Spirit Fields, especially Hongfeng Valley, everyone could lack anything but resources.

Therefore, in the days to come, Sun Shangxiang and Lin Feng each entered seclusion to regulate their breath and stabilize their cultivation.

In the blink of an eye several days passed, the Spiritual Qi Tide was about to appear, and Xu Zhangqing immediately brought Ruo Qunshuang, Sun Shangxiang, Lin Feng, and Qingyao—five people—to prepare to head to Qingmu Peak to face the Calamity.

Unexpectedly, a figure stepped through the morning light and shouted from afar: "Junior Sister!"

Sun Shangxiang instantly beamed with joy and called out warmly: "Senior Brother!"

The newcomer was Li Muyao, with a handsome appearance and an unrestrained personality.

After entering Hongfeng Valley, he quickly came before everyone.

Then he cupped his hands toward Xu Zhangqing and Ruo Qunshuang: "Greetings, Xu Sikong, Ruoyu Master!"

Xu Zhangqing's gaze fell upon Li Muyao, and he sized him up without changing expression: "Hmm."

For this person's arrival, he did not feel surprised.

Li Muyao and Sun Shangxiang's relationship was actually quite special.

Don't look at how they called each other "Senior Brother" and "Junior Sister" all the time.

Actually, Li Muyao had not taken him as a teacher, but was a Disciple of the Water-Governing Pavilion.

Sun Shangxiang was very happy and asked with a smiling face: "Senior Brother, why did you come?"

Li Muyao took out a Jade Plate from his Storage Bag and then replied: "Junior Sister, this is a Thunder-Drawing Array I accidentally obtained."

It can guide Thunder Power, weaken its ferocity, and perhaps help you pass through the tribulation.

The Jade Plate was palm-sized, engraved with complex patterns, with faint Thunder Light flowing.

Everyone was not a Loose Cultivator and could tell at a glance it was not simple.

Sun Shangxiang said joyfully: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Lin Feng, seeing this, couldn't help but look toward Third Junior Sister Qingyao at his side.

The latter said nothing, just patted her pouch, then spread both hands.

Lin Feng said seriously: "Both are Junior Sisters, but you need to work hard!"

Qingyao said nothing, silently stepped back two steps, and put distance between the two of them.

Xu Zhangqing looked at that Jade Plate, his gaze slightly condensing.

Most Spiritual Arrays, due to consuming many materials and being complex to set up, must be arranged according to the environment.

Those that can be carried on one's person are mostly more precise and expensive, and their effects are not simple either.

The patterns of this Thunder-Drawing Array were so exquisite that one could tell at a glance they were not some "Accidentally Obtained" thing, but something Li Muyao specially made!
