Chapter 253

It was precisely because of this.

Having roughly finished comprehending the Great Dao inheritances, Luo Fu stopped cultivating and planned to leave Mount Yunlong, to leave Mount Kunlun.

He wanted to see the world on the surface.

Of course, to put it bluntly, the outside world was also extremely dangerous right now.

After all, this was the Era of Hegemonic Struggle between the Wu and the Yao.

Across the Great Wasteland, the Wu and Yao clans were constantly engaged in terrifying slaughter.

The entire Great Wasteland was saturated with calamity Qi.

Calamity Qi had a startling influence; even a Quasi-Saint could be affected by it, causing a Quasi-Saint to do things they might otherwise never have done.

That was the influence of Heaven and Earth's Catastrophe.

Even Saints, facing this Heaven and Earth calamity Qi, would be affected to a certain degree.

The historical Investiture of the Gods Catastrophe was a very good illustration of this point.

The final great decisive battle between the Wu and Yao clans illustrated it even more.

Apart from Sister Houtu transforming herself into the cycle of reincarnation, the other eleven Ancestral Witches all died in the Wu-Yao War.

At the same time, the Yao clan's situation was no better than the Wu clan's.

Di Jun and Eastern Sovereign Taiyi fell; many Yao Gods of the Heavenly Court also died in this battle, and even Nuwa Saint's Fuxi met the same fate.

If the calamity Qi had not affected these Quasi-Saint powerhouses,

with their reason, how could they have done something so insane in the end?

It was precisely because of this.

It was enough to show how terrifying the influence of Heaven and Earth calamity Qi was.

If one did not actively join a Catastrophe, the overall influence was still manageable.

If one joined a Catastrophe, even if you were influenced into making a decision you believed was correct, you yourself might not even know it.

This was the terror brought by calamity Qi.

The Three Pure Ones and other Saints understood this point well, so they had their many disciples stay on Mount Kunlun to cultivate, not lightly joining the Wu-Yao Catastrophe.

After all, in such a terrifying Heaven and Earth Catastrophe, if disciples entered, even Saints could not perfectly protect all of them.

In any case, Saints merged with the Heavenly Dao, and they too would be influenced by Heaven and Earth.

This was also why, after the Wu-Yao Catastrophe, disciples of both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect began to walk into the Great Wasteland.

Otherwise, these Saint disciples whose strength was still insufficient, lightly walking into the Great Wasteland, would be seeking death.

The Wu-Yao Catastrophe was a terrifying Catastrophe in which even Quasi-Saints could fall.

For example, some top-tier Quasi-Saint powerhouses did not wish to lightly meddle in the grievances between the Wu and Yao clans.

As for the Wu and Yao clans who were in the Catastrophe, as protagonists of Heaven and Earth, they could not avoid it even if they wanted to.

From the very beginning, they were already within the Catastrophe.

So this made it impossible for the Wu and Yao clans to avoid it.

Just as in the past during the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin Catastrophe, the Dragon clan could only perish beneath the Catastrophe.

Many living beings of those three clans died in that great war.

In the end, it was Daoist Yuan Feng, the Beginning Qilin, and the Ancestral Dragon who led the remaining clansmen to suppress the Great Wasteland and obtain merit and fortune.

Otherwise, in that great war, the three clans would likely have been nearly exterminated.

But even so.

The Dragon clan and the Phoenix clan were no longer the beings that once dominated the Great Wasteland.

To see such races in the Great Wasteland was exceedingly rare.

Now was the era of the Wu clan and the Yao clan.

It could only be said that every Catastrophe brought a change in Heaven and Earth's protagonists.

Luo Fu naturally knew that the future protagonist of the Great Wasteland would be the Human clan.

However, for the Human clan to become Heaven and Earth's protagonist, there were still many things they needed to go through.

Moreover, in Luo Fu's view, even if the Human clan became Heaven and Earth's protagonist in the future, they still could not compare with the Wu and Yao, or even the Dragon and Phoenix clans of old.

This was because above the Human clan stood those lofty Saints.

Saints held dominion over Heaven and Earth.

Setting aside the Catastrophe's protagonists for now, the danger of the Catastrophe was foreseeable.

Not to mention Saints; even those veteran Quasi-Saints had a perception of this.

Perhaps it was because the Wu and Yao clans were at the center of the Catastrophe, and the two clans affected by calamity Qi had not yet developed an overly clear perception.

Therefore, rashly stepping into the Great Wasteland made one extremely susceptible to the influence of calamity Qi.

In the past, Luo Fu would have considered whether to continue cultivating, only stepping into the Great Wasteland once his strength reached a certain level.

After all, his strength back then was still far from sufficient.

But now, Luo Fu no longer had such concerns.

With his Heavenly-Dao-level comprehension, Luo Fu was fully capable of handling the influence of Heaven and Earth calamity Qi.

Not to mention the absorption and digestion of the inheritances from those three Saints plus Pangu and others.

The current Luo Fu.

In a certain sense, was actually stronger than Saints.

At the very least, for Heaven and Earth calamity Qi to affect Luo Fu was probably no easy matter.

Thinking of this, Luo Fu did not hesitate much. He stood up and swept his gaze over his cave abode.

Clearly, he would not be returning to Mount Kunlun anytime soon.

Otherwise, he would definitely not have come to his own cave abode.

But for Luo Fu, there was nothing particularly special in his cave abode, so there was no need to tidy up much.

The void above Mount Yunlong.

Luo Fu stood within the void, and beside his ears rose a series of overlapping voices.

"This competition among the three sects was truly astonishing — the battles of those Saints' personal disciples were terrifying."

"Right, this time that Chan Sect personal disciple Blasting Guang Chengzi nearly took first place."

"What of it? It's only because Senior Brother Duobao has become a Taiyi Jin Xian and didn't take part in this competition among the three sects."

"That's true too, but speaking of Senior Brother Duobao, it seems we haven't seen Senior Brother Luo Fu either."

"Senior Brother Luo Fu is also a Taiyi Jin Xian — how could you possibly see him? Senior Brother must still be cultivating; he is the respected senior brother of our Jie Sect."

"Exactly. I heard Senior Brother Luo Fu broke through to Taiyi Jin Xian even earlier than Senior Brother Duobao."

"In the last competition among the three sects, Senior Brother Luo Fu even shattered Senior Brother Blasting Guang Chengzi and the others with a single punch, and defeated Senior Brother Duobao as well, earning the true title of number one."

"What a pity — even if we want to visit Senior Brother Luo Fu, we can't. The Mount Yunlong where Senior Brother Luo Fu resides requires strength we simply don't have; we can't enter at all."

"A competition among the three sects once every hundred years?" Luo Fu stood in the void, listening to these voices by his ears, and could not help but show a faint smile.

The last time he had taken part in the competition among the three sects, he hadn't expected another hundred years to have passed.

In the next hundred years, would he still remain within Mount Kunlun?

"Teacher." Luo Fu's gaze turned toward the direction of the Biyou Palace, and he offered a slight bow.

This time Luo Fu did not plan to go bid his teacher farewell in person.

Besides, if he truly left, Teacher Tongtian Jiaozhu would certainly come to know of it.

"Many thanks for the grace of Teacher's teachings." After Luo Fu bowed, he flipped his palm; several streaks of light vanished from his hand, scattering in all directions.

That was Luo Fu sending word of his departure to those close to him.

For instance, the Three Xiao sisters, Duobao, and other Jie Sect disciples.

After finishing all this, Luo Fu no longer hesitated and sped away from Mount Kunlun.

Within the Biyou Palace.

Tongtian Jiaozhu, who had originally been cultivating, opened his eyes and gazed outside with a complicated look.

"Luo Fu, your teacher looks forward to your growth."

As the words fell, Tongtian Jiaozhu flipped his palm; several streaks of light shot out from his hand, and the direction in which the light shot was precisely the place where Luo Fu had departed.

The Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun stared in the direction Luo Fu had left, a glint also in his eyes.

At first, this Chan Sect Saint had utterly disdained Luo Fu, but Luo Fu's continual displays had kept astonishing Yuanshi Tianzun.

Until Luo Fu finished hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's Dao of the Saints.
