Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 232 - 152: Peril in Blocking the Path!

Therefore, though Qingfeng True Master called him a disciple at this moment, he was treating him as a fellow cultivator.

"Indeed, the situation is urgent." Cultivator Shen Yu returned the courtesy, yet with an expression of helplessness, "I suddenly regained the cause and effect of my past life today, and only now do I understand why I reincarnated into this realm."

Qingfeng True Master listened attentively.

The other disciples, though unable to join the conversation, all looked at this distinctly transformed young disciple.

"This reincarnation serves only one purpose, which is to save this vast cosmos from the apocalyptic catastrophe." Cultivator Shen Yu looked directly at Qingfeng True Master, his expression extremely serious.

This was indeed his heartfelt declaration.

All the worlds where Shen Yu reincarnated were of civilizations on the brink of destruction.

Moreover, there was the Gray Mist Space, allowing the Shen Yus to gain immense benefits from their quest to save the worlds.

No matter the perspective, saving the world seemed like their mission upon reincarnating into various worlds.

However, such words left the disciples present somewhat dazed and bewildered.

It wasn't a sense of awe, shock, or disbelief.

But purely a lack of realism.

They did not distrust Cultivator Shen Yu, but suddenly talking about apocalyptic catastrophe... was utterly incomprehensible.

Nonetheless, these brothers quickly noticed that their master's demeanor became increasingly solemn.

Until now, an indescribable sense of reality gradually surged within their hearts.

Could it be true that a calamity capable of destroying everything is about to arrive?

Cultivator Shen Yu also noticed his master's expression and quickly asked, "Master, have you already sensed something?"

Until now, he only knew that the catastrophe was highly likely to occur, but he was equally unsure of how it would manifest.

That's why he immediately sought out his master upon returning.

If there truly is something within heaven and earth capable of obliterating everything, these powerful beings would undoubtedly be the first to detect it.

After all, even the mightiest would not be spared by such an apocalyptic disaster!

And at this moment, facing Cultivator Shen Yu's inquiry, Qingfeng True Master merely said slowly, "I cannot be certain either, but indeed, some occurrences in recent decades are unlike the past."

He looked at the other disciples, somewhat hesitating about whether to speak.

But Cultivator Shen Yu spoke up, "Master, for this catastrophe within this realm, I fear there is no one who can escape it, but I am different, even if I can't save the world, I still have the ability to protect a few, no need to worry that my brothers and sisters won't be able to withstand it."

Shen Yu got it right with his words.

Qingfeng True Master was indeed worried about this matter.

However, seeing Shen Yu say so at this moment, he sighed deeply, nodding.

"Forget it, anyway, it's something you will know sooner or later." He turned around and spoke to his eldest disciple Yao Xue, "Disciple, you reached the Realm of Knowing Destiny eleven years ago, had it been customary in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, one would roam the world after entering this realm, continually seeking their Longevity Technique throughout life, but as your teacher, I stopped you from going, keeping you within the temple."

The other disciples were somewhat bewildered.

Especially the eldest sister Yao Xue.

She was originally just born in the countryside, although gifted, her fate was unfortunate; at birth, her mother was bitten by a venomous snake and unfortunately met with disaster, and she was extracted directly from the womb with a knife, surviving thanks to her exceptional talent.

Yet, the snake venom also invaded her body, leaving it covered with black spots, hideous, enduring bullying until she was taken away by Qingfeng True Master, only then turning her fate around.

Thus, even when she broke through to the Celestial Destiny Realm eleven years ago, though her master kept her in the temple without any reason given, she didn't utter a single complaint.

But for anyone else, it would indeed be considered a "grudge of obstructing the Dao."

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, even if ordered by the master, it can be defied without being considered as betraying the sect.

No matter how great the master, they cannot be greater than the pursuit of the Dao of Longevity!

Thus, to say Yao Xue harbored no confusion or questions, is impossible.

Not just her, the second brother and third brother were both already at the Myriad Phenomena Realm, with their talent, diligence, and fortuity, reaching the Celestial Destiny Realm was just a matter of time.

When that time comes, would they too be restricted within the temple by the master?

At this moment, seeing the master finally ready to provide an explanation, everyone listened attentively with a touch of anxiety.

"For the past ten years, it's not just us, the Immortal Sect across the world is mostly like this." Qingfeng True Master said gravely, "Only because, since thirteen years ago, there has been no True Master born, every Immortal Sect I know, regardless of how outstanding the individual, even those destined to almost certainly achieve the True Master Dao Fruit among reincarnated individuals, have all without exception fallen during the process of attaining the True Master Dao Fruit!"

"——!"

Everyone, even Shen Yu, was stunned by this news.

For thirteen years, no one has become a True Master?

All failed to break through?

Even the reincarnated individuals as well?

It should be known, many reincarnated ones are actually former True Masters who either perished or nearly perished due to their heavenly tribulations!

Although reincarnation posed a considerable loss for these severely damaged True Masters, the chances of reaching True Master level again and obtaining the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life far surpassed the ordinary.

Even they failed?

Most crucially, under normal circumstances, even if failure occurs, it wouldn't result in immediate death!

At worst, they'd be unable to break through further.

Except for a few who themselves deviate from the orthodox path, attempting to seek Longevity through unorthodox means, most orthodox inheritances aren't so perilous.

At most, limited by talent, fortuity, or capability, unable to advance further.

But now, failure of breakthrough, even resulting in death?

Both Yao Xue and Shen Yu's other two brothers were dazed at this moment.

Most cultivators spend their entire life striving towards one goal.

Liberated Longevity!

They, as disciples of a True Master, with exceptional talent and the Longevity Technique, despite the challenging path, had infinitely more chances of achieving longevity than ordinary cultivators.

Even other cultivators would strive toward longevity, let alone them?

Yet now, even before attempts and efforts, they're being told it's already impossible to break through, even attempting means certain death?

Everyone understood why the master hadn't revealed it earlier.

This would be an unspoken devastating blow to those on the path of cultivation.

If known, even immediate loss of the will to cultivate is greatly possible.

Even sinking into depravity, indulgence in desires, falling into the Demon Dao are countless.

Over countless years, who knows how many cultivators went mad due to the inability to achieve longevity.

"How could this be."

Even Yao Xue, with her strong mind, muttered in a shaken state.

"No one knows the cause." Qingfeng True Master sighed again, "Three years ago, a reincarnated True Master died, alerting his Earth Immortal master, then together three Earth Immortals traversed the void to explore further, yet found this situation did not affect just one place, heard they planned to delve deeper, current results are unknown but..."

Qingfeng True Master hesitated somewhat here, but looking at Cultivator Shen Yu, he spoke:

"A year ago, a True Master also fell during the attainment of Earth Immortal Dao Fruit."

With one phrase, everyone's eyes went wide again.

The third brother's body wobbled, collapsing directly to the ground, filled with terror.

A True Master actually falling in an attempt to achieve Earth Immortal?

Though it was true that breaking through to Earth Immortal was exceptionally rare, they only had heard of True Masters falling during the contention for Earth Immortal resources, never during an actual breakthrough!

Still, it must be said, Orthodox cultivation normally would not be so perilous!

Most importantly——

Their master himself was at the Peak of True Master.

And had always been preparing for a breakthrough!

Unconsciously, everyone once again looked towards Qingfeng True Master.
