Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 336 : 335 Eyes converge on Zhou Bai

Central City, on Wanxian Island.

Ming Yue, the Immortal, sitting on a meditation cushion with a smile on her face, spoke slowly, "…and finally, that's how it is. It seems that Monk Yin Hai still hasn't reached his limit. The arrangements for Beihai City might need to be delayed a bit longer."

Across from Ming Yue, a young man dressed in a blue robe stood fishing by the lake. Holding the fishing rod in one hand and stroking his chin with the other, his face wore a serene and leisurely smile, seemingly unaffected by the events that transpired at the competition among the Four Great Taoist Schools.

This young-looking man was the manager of Wanxian Island, known as the Eternal Tianyangzi.

After the Supreme Heavenly Venerate went into seclusion, he and a few other immortals were in charge of managing the heavenly court.

In Ming Yue's mind, however, flashed another identity of the man: the sixth generation Sect Leader of the Three Pure Dao Sect.

"Tianyangzi, have you not figured out the Five Great Divine Skills yet? Weren't you once the Sect Leader of the Three Pure Dao Sect? You must know all Five Great Divine Skills, right?"

"The Five Great Divine Skills are closely related to the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao and contain the secrets of the great Dao formulae. They are intimately related to the operations of the Heavenly Dao. As the Heavenly Dao changes, the past Five Great Divine Skills naturally cannot be used anymore."

Tianyangzi glanced at Ming Yue and said indifferently, "But the seeds of these divine skills have always remained within the Dao Sect. Can what one learned before the distortion of the Heavenly Dao be the same as what is learned after?"

Tianyangzi waved his hand, unwilling to discuss this further, and directly asked, "What do you think about Zhou Bai?"

"Extraordinarily talented, I see he has even mastered the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword. It's a pity he was born in the wrong era." Ming Yue shook his head, "In this era, it's no longer possible to become an immortal. Their final struggle is merely a delusion."

At this point, Ming Yue couldn't help but laugh, "Ridiculous fellows, they thought I was trying to sabotage their competition among the Four Great Taoist Schools, but little did they know that no matter how hard they try, it's already futile. I was just using the opportunity to test Monk Yin Hai."

"Once that older generation is gone—mad or dead—everything will also come to an end."

"Extraordinarily talented, you say?" Tianyangzi remarked, "Even though he can't become an immortal, since he has mastered the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, he has his uses. Try to bring him to the heavenly court."

…

Inside a crimson canyon, Li Xiuzhu looked at the shimmering light before him and said, "Zheng Zihua? Has the competition among the Four Great Taoist Schools ended already? Did you see your brother?"

"I did, and you would never guess how the competition today ended," replied Zheng Wentian's brother, Zheng Zihua. "Today—"

The more Li Xiuzhu heard, the more surprised he became, having not expected Zhou Bai, whom he had encountered at East Dao School, to have grown so quickly to this stage.

However, he frowned, "Zhou Bai being so high-profile might draw attention from both the heavenly court and the Heavenly Demons."

"That's certain," Zheng Zihua's eyes sparkled with hatred, "I'm not sure about the reaction from the immortals' side. But the True Gods will try everything to turn Zhou Bai into a mutated weapon, just like they once wanted to do to me."

…

Midnight, in a secret chamber in Beihai City.

More than ten leaders from the Four Great Taoist Schools were seated, and Zhao Shouyi was among them.

As time passed by the second, not a single person spoke, and the air in the entire secret chamber seemed unbearably heavy.

After a long while, Wu Fa Chan Master sighed lightly, "No one from the Evil Sect has come; it looks like they have given up on this alliance with the Four Great Taoist Schools."

Wang Shouxuan from Jijian Pavilion snorted coldly, "Those demonic heretics, once a dog, always a dog. If it weren't for their meddling, how could so many complications have arisen?"

Wu Fa Chan Master said, "The Blood Sea elder of the Evil Sect is already reaching his limit, he must have his difficulties too. If they aren't coming, we will think of another solution later. For now, the combined strength of our three families is temporarily sufficient."

Saying this, he stood up, looked at everyone, and said, "My idea is to provide unlimited resources to Zhou Bai to aid his cultivation. After all, Zhou Bai's talent is unmatched, a true all-rounder. He has already found his own path of cultivation and has practiced the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword and Guihai Black Curse. We just need to provide him with all the necessary resources.

And for Kong Chan, Jian Hui and others, they should gather together, with resources allocated uniformly by our three families, fostering them in the most suitable manner."

Just as everyone was agreeing to this decision, Zhao Shouyi slowly said, "Zhou Bai said he wants to go to the frontline."

Hearing what Zhao Shouyi said, everyone was surprised and turned to look at him.

Wang Shouxuan from Jijian Pavilion appreciated the idea, "Zhou Bai is quite impressive, wanting to enhance his strength. Aside from cultivation, battling is indeed the best method. The sword geniuses of Jijian Pavilion, which one hasn't forged their path through numerous battles?

I support Zhou Bai's idea."

Wu Fa Chan Master, however, frowned slightly, "Isn't this a bit rash? Zhou Bai's name might have already been reported to Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Demon might also be aware of it; letting him go to the frontline could be quite dangerous."

Wang Shouxuan argued, "The transformation of Dao, Primordial Spirit force—these can be improved daily by meditating and reading. But sword skills and Dao techniques can only be truly perfected through battle.

And with Zhou Bai's combat strength, he can completely protect himself on the battlefield. Even if he encounters seventh or eighth level Heavenly Demons, won't we send someone to protect him?"

Immediately, everyone in the secret chamber began discussing, especially the sword cultivators led by Jijian Pavilion, who strongly supported the idea of Zhou Bai going to the battlefield. Since ancient times, the cultivation path of Jijian Pavilion has been to foster strength through battle; after enhancing their cultivation in seclusion, they are expected to test their swords against the world, honing their swordsmanship and cultivation, already accustomed to the benefits brought by battle-training.

On the other hand, cultivators from Leiyin Temple had some opposing opinions, especially since their traditional cultivation methods have always involved reading and meditating, focusing on collecting spiritual will, and their combat style emphasizes defense first, using strength to break cunning.

These differing opinions stemmed from their fundamentally distinctive cultivation philosophies, which are also the reasons why they originally split into the Four Great Taoist Schools.

Wu Fa looked at Zhao Shouyi, and asked, "What does Donghua Dao School think?"

Zhao Shouyi, recalling his conversation with Zhou Bai, slowly said, "With Zhou Bai's strength, he should indeed be able to protect himself on a normal battlefield, provided that no warriors above the seventh level appear. What I worry about are the Heavenly Demon... and perhaps even certain individuals from the Heavenly Court, who might have schemes against Zhou Bai."

"We have, however, thought of a method for this, which is to temporarily change Zhou Bai's appearance to hide his identity, letting him impersonate an ordinary cultivator and secretly head to the battlefield. We will send people to protect him covertly.

This method should maximize the prevention of targeting by the Heavenly Demon or the Heavenly Court."

...

While Zhao Shouyi and others were discussing arrangements for Zhou Bai,

Zhou Bai had returned to his room, sitting cross-legged on the bed, focusing his consciousness on the sea of cognition.

Having suppressed the urge all day, he was finally able to test the effects of his Primordial Spirit devouring fate's force.
