Chapter 221: Preparation

The Tiangong Fudi is the largest Dongtian Fudi in the Xuantian World; its vast territory is sufficient to support countless Qi Refiners in their cultivation.

In the center of the secret realm stands an ancient, simple palace. This palace is built entirely of bluestone, without wasting any effort on carving or ornamentation.

This alone is enough to prove that this palace was not built in this era, but has already passed through many eras.

The more magnificent and complex a palace is built, the faster it will decay when facing the erosion of the Mirage Sea.

Especially regarding the power of the Array; the Human Race of this era does not yet have the ability to build an Array capable of resisting the erosion of the Mirage Sea.

All existing Arrays capable of resisting the erosion of the Mirage Sea were laid down by predecessors with great magical power.

Even for the Human Race at its peak, such Arrays were not common commodities; laying down each one would exhaust the mental energy of many cultivators and a vast amount of resources.

Such power is basically used to store rare resources, or is deployed in certain secret locations, allowing those with weak strength to enter and seal themselves away to take refuge when the Mirage Sea Catastrophe descends.

But a palace like this, built on the outside for the Human Race that first awakens in each era to live in, does not waste any resources.

On the contrary, by adopting the simplest and most primitive methods, without using any heavenly spiritual objects for decoration, it can be preserved in the Mirage Sea for a longer time.

Shui Qianqiu's eyebrows twitched; he had only just returned from the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, and Chen Mo had told him personally that the other Heavenly Court Secret Realm would take at least two years to arrive.

But even if only one Mirage Sea creature breaks into the world, they will inevitably be targeted by it; for the sake of their own survival, they must find a way to deal with that Mirage Sea creature.

Because the coming Catastrophe requires everyone to face it together, Chen Mo has no need to deceive them about this matter.

"Let them think of a way early and take refuge as soon as possible. Additionally, I also want to send a batch of Innate Experts from my Xuantian World to take refuge in the Cangxuan World."

If they win, everyone can live; if they lose, everyone dies together.

Although the Cangxuan World and the Xuantian World are currently two separate factions, there is no major conflict between them, and they both belong to the Human Race.

Even if it experiences countless cycles of reincarnation, it will at most be gradually eroded and collapse, without any particularly major impact.

"Fellow Daoist should also return to the Cangxuan World and let the many factions within your world make preparations early."

Until this era, it remains the Main Hall of the Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly Palace Supreme Elder Jiang Wanliu is in seclusion there.

So they must now let this news spread a little later, leaving no room for a cowardly escape, so that everyone will work together to cope.

"Is this matter true!" Shui Qianqiu asked in a deep voice, not giving Chen Mo a chance to interrupt, and then continued, "If it is truly so, then I will immediately contact the many experts between heaven and earth to prepare early."

Jiang Wanliu thought the same, but neither of them had much doubt about Chen Mo.

Therefore, even Jiang Wanliu is only a junior in front of him.

"If the general situation changes and we cannot hold on, let them cut off their arms to survive immediately; even if this era is abandoned, my Heavenly Palace must leave behind a legacy."

Chen Mo stepped into the palace, his gaze sweeping over Shui Qianqiu and Jiang Wanliu, and he spoke of this matter in a slightly low tone.

The Cangxuan World does not have many experts; excluding Martial Artists above the Xiantian Sixth Layer, the other Martial Artists do not need to come to deal with the Catastrophe.

Previously, he had also informed Jiang Wanliu that another Heavenly Court Fragment was constantly approaching the Xuantian World.

Shui Qianqiu looks very young, but in reality, if one counts his years of slumber, he is unimaginably old.

The Heavenly Palace is, after all, a faction with a clear legacy; respecting teachers and seniors is naturally the duty of every initiate disciple.

"The Little Ancestor's words are reasonable," Jiang Wanliu said with a face full of agreement, nodding repeatedly.

Even if it suffers erosion, the impact received is not particularly great and is completely within an acceptable range.

As a Supernatural Martial Artist and a Deity Transformation Cultivator, it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to escape the next disaster, even if the Mirage Sea Water does not submerge this era.

"Fellow Daoist, please enter. I wonder what the reason is for this sudden visit?" Shui Qianqiu took the initiative to walk outside the palace gate to welcome him, while simultaneously waving his hand gently, signaling the Heavenly Palace Elder who had brought Chen Mo to leave.

"The other Heavenly Court Fragment has suddenly started to accelerate, rushing toward our world at a faster speed. If it continues to accelerate according to the current situation,"

"Then in at most a month's time, the other party will be able to arrive near the Xuantian World."

The place where the other Heavenly Court Fragment descends is the Xuantian World, so relatively speaking, the Cangxuan World is safer.

Even if its true time of activity has not been long, his seniority is very high.

"But it is best not to make this matter public; otherwise, it will cause turmoil, and other factions will inevitably make preparations early. They are not like you and me; they still have a glimmer of hope," Shui Qianqiu continued to urge.

In this situation, some experts will inevitably choose to pursue this glimmer of hope.

Shui Qianqiu is currently in this palace, his expression slightly solemn, carefully describing his own plans to Jiang Wanliu.

Chen Mo, led by a Heavenly Palace Elder, arrived in front of the Main Hall gate.

"This matter is indeed serious. My Heavenly Palace should make preparations early. You and I have no way to avoid it, but we should arrange for some disciples to enter the secret locations in advance."

"But other experts between heaven and earth are different; if the situation is not bad to the extreme, they have a glimmer of hope."

Jiang Wanliu continued to nod, and then spoke up, wanting to continue discussing the detailed situation.

They will send some Innate Experts to take refuge in the Cangxuan World; if the situation is not bad to the extreme, then these people may be able to escape the disaster.

This is also normal; even ants cling to life, let alone humans.

Shui Qianqiu took the initiative to speak, stating his own plans and arrangements.

But although this palace is not special, because it is the place where the Human Race of each era first resides, its significance is naturally quite extraordinary.

As a result, in just a moment, the two-year time frame had shrunk to a little over a month; this change was indeed quite fast.

Shui Qianqiu suddenly stopped speaking and looked outside the palace.

He knew that Chen Mo could not have come suddenly for no reason; the reason he came must be because something major had happened.

When the Catastrophe descends, the Xuantian World, as an expert, should naturally protect the Cangxuan World.

It is only right and proper for Human Race experts to protect the weak; this is a responsibility that an expert should fulfill.

Martial Artists above the Xiantian Sixth Layer, although not considered too strong, can contribute some strength, even if it is just to maintain the Array.

As for the Martial Artists below this level, they are of no use in the face of such a catastrophe; rather than letting them come to die, it is better to let them hide and leave a spark for the Human Race.

If they truly fail, unless the situation is bad to the extreme, as long as these Innate Experts can survive, their era will not have ended after all, and there will be hope in the future.

"Good." Chen Mo did not hesitate at all and immediately nodded in agreement.

What Shui Qianqiu is saying and thinking now is not from the standpoint of the Heavenly Palace as a single faction, but from the standpoint of the entire Human Race.

The things he is thinking of are by no means the continuation of any one faction, but are aimed at the continuation of all the Human Race within this world.

Regarding what he said, Chen Mo naturally has no reason to refuse now.

Even if Chen Mo were to make the arrangements himself, I fear they would not differ much from his.

"In the Cangxuan World, besides you, friend, there is only one Heavenly Human expert, and they have only just broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm not long ago; in my view, do not let them participate in the battle.

They have no coordination with the many experts of our Xuantian World, and deploying them together might even have the opposite effect. Our Xuantian World will also send one Heavenly Human expert to guard the Cangxuan World with them, should things truly reach an irredeemable point."

As Shui Qianqiu said this, he sighed lightly, as an Ancestor Son who had been sealed away.

He is not only the foundation of the Xuantian World but also a trump card.

If an era declines to the extreme, and no experts emerge to take the lead, attempting to resolve or delay the Mirage Sea problem of that era.

Then an Ancestor Son like Shui Qianqiu would be awakened, acting as the final resort to actively face all the problems of that era.

Therefore, regarding the matter of dealing with the Mirage Sea, he indeed has relatively rich experience.

Even if his memories were once sealed, as long as he retrieves those sealed memories, he can quickly understand the entire situation.

"Then let the Martial Artists of the Cangxuan World cut off their tails to survive; even if our era is to end, we must leave behind our heritage."

Shui Qianqiu sighed lightly, stating the worst-case scenario that might occur.

The so-called worst-case scenario is not even that this era ends hastily due to the inundation of the Mirage Sea.

It is that the Mirage Sea creature is extremely powerful, so powerful that they are completely unable to resist, and the opponent does not intend to end their era.

Rather, it intends to drag the entire Xuantian World, and even the other two worlds connected to it, into the Mirage Sea to be submerged together.

This is the worst-case scenario; from then on, the Xuantian World will be completely transformed into a part of the Mirage Sea, rising and falling with it, with no chance of ever seeing the light of day again.

Although the probability of this situation occurring is not high, after all, forcibly dragging a world that has not yet fallen into the Mirage Sea.

This is something no ordinary Mirage Sea creature can do, and even if they do, they must pay a great price.

But now, whether it is Shui Qianqiu or Chen Mo, both are making the worst preparations.

If it turns out to be a false alarm, that is naturally the best result.

But if it is not, then the preparations they are making now can come into play.

As Shui Qianqiu's voice fell, he immediately took out a Jade Slip.

Chen Mo reached out to take it; inside the Jade Slip was the method to sever the two worlds.

This is not difficult; the power mainly relied upon is the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate.

Once the Cangxuan World and the Xuantian World are separated, the Cangxuan World will be temporarily safe.

That Mirage Sea creature will basically be unable to spend a large amount of time and energy to search for the Cangxuan World again.

The opponent will only set its sights on other worlds that possess Heavenly Court Fragments.

To search for the Cangxuan World, the gains and the costs are completely disproportionate.

Severing the connection between two worlds is a measure used only in extremely dire situations and will never be used lightly.

"Many thanks." Chen Mo accepted the Jade Slip and cupped his hands in thanks.

"It is all for the sake of the Human Race." Shui Qianqiu smiled wryly; his mood was not very good.

He had not been awake for long before encountering this mess; to say he was not feeling a headache would be impossible.

It is just that no matter how thorny the situation, as long as it has not reached an irredeemable point, he will still attempt to resolve it.

Chen Mo accepted the Jade Slip and did not stay there long, immediately setting off to return to the Ancestral Realm.

Opening a spatial passage to reach the Ancestral Realm, Chen Mo did not stop for a moment and immediately summoned the many Innate Experts of the world to the Ancestral Realm for a meeting.

The Ancestral Spirit also appeared at this time; it clearly guessed that Chen Mo was in such a hurry to return and had summoned so many experts, so something major must have happened.

"The other Heavenly Court Fragment is accelerating; if it does not slow down, it will arrive near the Xuantian World in at most a month."

Seeing this, Chen Mo immediately spoke to explain, and after saying this, he did not linger.

Instead, he channeled the Heaven and Earth Power to open a spatial passage.

A Myriad Phenomena Warrior can maintain the opening of multiple spatial passages, though the duration will not be very long.

Chen Mo was now opening three spatial passages throughout the entire Cangxuan World to facilitate the Innate Experts from all over the world to reach the Ancestral Realm as quickly as possible.

Hearing his words, the Ancestral Spirit's expression could not help but become grave.

Although it had been preparing to deal with this matter earlier, it had not been overly urgent.

However, the situation had now changed suddenly, becoming critical.

"I will go and make preparations." The Ancestral Spirit spoke and was about to leave immediately.

"Prepare for the worst." Chen Mo gave a final instruction, and after speaking, he stepped into the spatial passage.

His figure shifted, and he had arrived above the Capital.

The many Innate Experts within the Capital were already in motion; at this time, they could not care about the Capital's prohibitions and ascended into the high heavens one after another, preparing to head to the Ancestral Realm.

Seeing Chen Mo appear, every one of them stopped their movements, looking at Chen Mo with eyes full of confusion.

"Everyone, go to the Ancestral Realm first; I will arrange things together later." Chen Mo had no intention of wasting words.

After speaking, his figure flashed, and he returned to his home.

With a sweep of his True Qi, he found Zhao Yu, who was practicing.

"Something major has happened; quickly pack some things, and later come with me to the Ancestral Realm. Also, where is Wei Xia?" Chen Mo asked hurriedly.

Zhao Yu had originally been happy to see Chen Mo, but upon hearing this, the smile on her face froze.

Seeing Chen Mo's expression so serious and solemn, she naturally understood that something major must have happened.

"In the back courtyard guest room; if she is not there, then she must have returned to the Netherworld." Zhao Yu replied, and Chen Mo's figure had already vanished.

He had, of course, sensed that Wei Xia was not in the back courtyard guest room.

He immediately activated the Underworld Mansion Token to head to the Netherworld.

The situation in the Netherworld was as it always was; sensing his arrival, Fengdu Niangniang slowly appeared.

Chen Mo could sense that the power on her was extremely formidable, even a notch stronger than his own within the Netherworld; she could absolutely be called a top-tier Divine Ability Realm Martial Artist.

The power of Fengdu Niangniang is linked to the power of the strongest in the human world.

Whatever realm Chen Mo was in, she was in the same realm, and she held an innate advantage within the Netherworld.

"Niangniang, there is about to be a great upheaval between heaven and earth." Chen Mo spoke, recounting the entire matter one by one.

In short, he hoped Fengdu Niangniang could make preparations early to deal with the potential crisis that might arrive.

"Very well." Fengdu Niangniang's expression was indifferent and rippleless; the situation faced this time was indeed somewhat thorny.

But to her, having seen great winds and waves, this truly could not be called much of a problem.

After Chen Mo finished explaining this matter, he cupped his hands in a salute and left once more.

As long as this matter was entrusted to Fengdu Niangniang, she, as the Master of the Netherworld, would arrange all affairs within the Netherworld, and there was no need for him, a living person, to worry too much.

Returning to his own courtyard, Zhao Yu was making temporary arrangements to ensure that even after she left, there would still be people in the courtyard to manage affairs so that no major problems would arise.

After another moment, once she had finished packing her things and settling the situation at home.

Chen Mo immediately took her and headed toward the Ancestral Realm to wait for the many Innate Experts to gather.
