Chapter 1312: Chapter 1311: The Cultivation World in Wartime Readiness

The Candle Sky Civilization is about to invade the Cultivation World on a large scale, and the news that the Cultivation World has entered a war readiness state quickly spread throughout the realm, causing quite a stir.

"I’ve always said that the outside world is full of danger, and not to venture out lightly. Now look what’s happened, the Cosmic Dominator has set its sights on our Cultivation World and has launched an attack."

"What’s there to be afraid of if they attack? Aren’t our Integration Period, Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and Half-Immortal Great Abilities just like eating vegetables? They’ll be slapped away with a single palm!"

"That’s the best-case scenario. I hope that’s the case too, but after all, they are the Cosmic Dominator. Being called by that name means the opponent is incredibly strong. We are probably no match for them."

"What’s there to fear? If worse comes to worst, we’ll all perish together."

"While you have the leisure to chat here, all forces are recruiting temporarily without barriers. Anyone can go test their Spirit Root. Even if they don’t pass the test, they’ll still distribute the basic Qi Refinement and Body Refinement skills for free. Why aren’t you hurrying to take your children over?"

"What, is that really happening?"

"Hurry up and go; if you’re late, you’ll end up eating dust."

For those cultivators with a bit of talent, they pay even closer attention to the Cultivation World’s war readiness. Limited by resources, their progress is slow. This is an excellent opportunity for them to transform from carps into dragons and make a name for themselves in the Cultivation World.

"Those Secret Realms that open once every hundred or thousand years will be accessible during this war preparedness period. What a godsend opportunity."

"As long as one reaches the required realm, the Dynasty will distribute Cultivation Techniques and Spirit Stones. I was just worrying about insufficient Cultivation Resources, but now things are looking up!"

"Additionally, Great Sect Elders are going out to teach, and Combined Great Abilities are imparting their knowledge. Listening to their teachings once in one’s lifetime is invaluable."

This is an unprecedented grand occasion in the Cultivation World. Facing an unknown enemy, the forces of the Great Xia Buddha Country put aside all estrangements, aiming to quickly elevate the Cultivation World’s strength and be prepared to fight the Candle Sky Civilization without relying on Immortals.

The entire Cultivation World is in a fervent uproar, engulfed in flames.

As the head of Cultivation Weekly, Lu Yang has access to first-hand information of the Cultivation World, almost matching the speed at which Dai Bufan receives intelligence.

Information regarding Prodigies emerges like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

As the foremost Prodigy of this generation, he feels very gratified to see the younger ones so active.

"Loose Cultivator Gongsun Hai has successively challenged three Golden Core Level Secret Realms, leading each one. On the ancient battlefield’s arena, facing the successive challenges of eight peers, he used Qi to control his sword and overcame strong enemies, successfully defending his position, earning the nickname ’mini Lu Yang’."

"From the East Sea, Zhang Ding was born under the auspices of a descending Treasure Tripod, opened his Third Eye’s Immortal Bone, and acquired three types of Ancient Inheritances. He fought Kun Peng, defeated Dragon Sons, and since his debut, has never tasted defeat, praised by the world as possessing the talent of Lu Yang."

"To temper himself, Long Tianyang joined the Seduction Sect as the sole male disciple. Facing the temptation of Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters, he preserved his virginity, with Qi and Blood reversing, bleeding from seven orifices, finally made a breakthrough and advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, earning the moniker ’Little Meng Jingzhou.’"

Lu Yang held his forehead, thinking that it was fine for them to make a name for themselves, but why did they have to rub off on him and Old Meng.

But these are all trivial matters, not worth his concern.

"This Zhao Po from the Corpse Chasing Sect is your friend, right?" Daoist Xiantian hands over a piece of intelligence.

"Zhao Po, he’s still in the Void Refinement Stage, isn’t he? What kind of news about him is worth reporting?" Lu Yang wonders, taking the intelligence to read.

"Corpse Chasing Sect’s Zhao Po, developed affection with the Protector Female Dry Corpse, and became Daoist couple... huh?" Lu Yang looks surprised, rubbing his eyes to make sure he’s not seeing things wrong.

Zhao Po, what’s the deal with you, kid? I handed over the Dry Corpse woman to you for this?

"Sword Tower’s Mingtai ascends to the Body Integration Realm, causing an extraordinary event with ten thousand swords paying homage. During the event, he confessed to the Sword Tower Supreme, and the two became Daoist couple?"

Lu Yang’s expression became increasingly odd. He remembered that Mingtai was the embodiment of the Sword Spirit of the Sword Tower Supreme, and after the Sword Tower Supreme and Liu Ningxuan fought, exhausting his soul power, he became Mingtai’s sword spirit, serving each other as master and servant.

Now you two aren’t pretending anymore, directly becoming Daoist couple, huh.

"How nice, to become Daoist couple." Fairy Eternity whispered into Lu Yang’s ear, sounding like a wraith, visible only to him. Neither Daoist Xiantian nor Gu Junye could see her.

"Yes, it can be considered that lovers finally got together." Lu Yang felt it made sense for Mingtai and the Sword Tower Supreme to become Daoist couple.

"The White Horse Dynasty and several other stars have all moved to the Cultivation World, quite the swift action." Lu Yang clicked his tongue in wonder. The intelligence also came with a Recording Orb, which recorded the process of the White Horse Dynasty’s relocation, performed by the joint effort of six Integration Period Cultivators.

If it were just a matter of relocating stars, one Integration Period Cultivator would suffice, but moving a star changes the environment on it, which could be akin to a world-ending calamity for mortals. It requires multiple Integration Period Cultivators to ensure no harm comes to mortals.

"Have all those cultivators who were out also been called back? Makes sense, with great enemies at hand, it’d be troublesome if they ran into the Candle Sky Civilization."

Among the gathered intelligence, there were also mentions of a few old friends of Daoist Buyu.

"Minister of Justice Xu Xin has also broken through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, that was quick." Lu Yang mused, his fate was somewhat intertwined with this Minister of Justice. During that time in the Imperial City when he was possessed by Fairy Eternity, he was captured by him.

Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was the tense atmosphere in the Cultivation World, but not just one, several cultivators at the peak of Integration were breaking through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

"It’s merely a breakthrough in accordance with the trend. Why is Xuanyuan Sword Master making a big fuss over a trivial matter?" Gu Junye remained unflappable, rarely affected by anything that could impact his Daoist heart.

Even Daoist Xiantian couldn’t measure up to him; he always suspected that Gu Junye was the reincarnation of someone very important.

Lu Yang didn’t want to pay attention to Gu Junye, but with Gu Junye looking at him eagerly, the meaning in his eyes was clear, hoping that Lu Yang would play along.

Lu Yang, still with his head down, could feel Gu Junye’s burning gaze and had no choice but to go along with him by asking, "In accordance with the trend? How so?"

"Everything in the world follows the cycle of reincarnation. In ancient, far ancient, and ancient times, there were always Great World Struggles. Geniuses gathered, heroes competed for crossing, and the Heavenly Dao’s suppression loosened, making breakthroughs incredibly simple."

"Today is simply the recurrence of those Great World Struggles from those eras."

"Opening the Cultivation World is in accordance with the trend, a move to comply with heavenly fate. Although that so-called Cosmic Dominator is not a worry, the common people are ignorant of the Cultivation World’s strength."

"As all things divide into yin and yang, this event is also a good thing. The Cultivation World has been peaceful for too long, lacking external pressure. The emergence of the Candle Sky Civilization provides ample pressure, helping them achieve their breakthroughs."

Lu Yang’s eyelid twitched, Gu Junye’s set of theories was indeed quite intimidating.

In secret, a pair of dark eyes settled on Gu Junye.

The hidden mastermind watched Gu Junye with a mixture of surprise and doubt, trying to see through him.

Logically, there should be some influence from a previous life after reincarnation. Although what Gu Junye said wasn’t entirely correct, he did touch on some ancient secrets hidden within history, secrets that no one had told him about.

"Could it be that he is the reincarnation of the person I possessed?"
