Chapter 387: The Fourth Era of Calamity
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Yuan was only speculating about the calamity for the time being. There was not much actual evidence.
However, as his cultivation increased, his understanding of the changes in the world became deeper and deeper.
Previously, when he didn’t subdue the Formless Myriad Swords, he didn’t notice it. Now, he could feel that whether it was Spirit Sword Sect or the world outside Spirit Sword Sect… They seemed to be slowly becoming restless.
That was right, it was a rather human-like restlessness.
This feeling was very strange, but it was real.
Logically speaking, the will of the heavens was emotionless and asexual. It was impossible for such a change to occur.
But Lu Yuan was certain that his senses were not wrong.
The entire world seemed to be undergoing some kind of huge change. “Daoist, you seem to have noticed the abnormality in the Great World?” Lu Yuan turned around and found an old man silently appearing in front of him.
Lu Yuan was not too surprised by this.
After all, when he subdued the Formless Myriad Swords, he had already seen
Xiang Yang’s existence.
He knew that the other party was the patriarch of Spirit Sword Sect and had no malicious intent towards him.
Lu Yuan looked at Xiang Yang’s interface with some curiosity.
[Mountain Sea Immortal, Xiang Yang]
[cultivation: ???]
[skill: ???]
As expected, Xiang Yang’s interface was filled with question marks.
This was caused by his cultivation being too much higher than his.
Lu Yuan naturally maintained a humble attitude in the face of such an invincible powerhouse.
“Junior does feel something, but I don’t know the details.
Hearing that Lu Yuan had sensed the abnormal movement of heaven and earth, a strange look flashed across Xiang Yang’s eyes.
After all, what he said just now was just a casual remark. He felt that with Lu Yuan’s true immortal appearance, he should be able to sense things that ordinary people could not.
However, he didn’t expect Lu Yuan to be able to sense the power of the calamity.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yang said directly, “Since Daoist have already noticed it, I believe Daoist should also be able to guess that the future Greater World is destined to be extraordinary. What are your plans?”
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment before saying, “Do your best and leave it to
fate.”
“I’ll do everything I can and leave the rest to fate.”
“Do your best and leave it to fate…”
Hearing Lu Yuan’s answer, Xiang Yang fell into deep thought.
He originally thought that with Lu Yuan’s aptitude, he would say something even more arrogant.
For example, words like a man could conquer nature.
But now, it seemed that Lu Yuan was much more stable than he had imagined. Thinking about it, it made sense. Only such a state of mind was worthy of his terrifying talent.
“Daoist, are you interested in hearing about this calamity?
This time, Lu Yuan did not answer directly.
He had a feeling that this question would change his future.
If he chose to listen to this ancient secret today, it would be equivalent to bearing a portion of the karma.
The power of karma and the so-called luck were not too different. To a cultivator, they were both things that would affect their future cultivation.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yuan still decided to listen to the matter regarding the calamity.
After all, he had already treated the world as his hometown.
No matter how one looked at it, the word calamity was not a good thing.
If possible, Lu Yuan did not want to ruin his current life.
“Senior, please speak.”
Seeing that Lu Yuan had made a decision, Xiang Yang also began to talk about the calamity.
The so-called calamity was a huge change in the world.
What Lu Yuan was experiencing now was the era after the third calamity.
It was also because of the existence of the calamity that the difficulty of cultivation in the Great World became higher and higher.
But correspondingly, the number of people and cultivators in the Great World increased.
There seemed to be some sort of balance between them.
If the power of heaven and earth was compared to a cake.
The fewer people who shared the cake, the more cake that person could get.
On the contrary, the less cake a person would get.
And every calamity of the world was an act of splitting the cake.
Those who could survive the calamity could obtain many benefits.
If they couldn’t survive, they would become a part of the cake.
It was not easy to survive the calamity.
In ancient times, the Great World was not filled with immortals, but there were more than a hundred true immortals and more than a thousand Earth Diety.
Even so, very few people survived the first calamity.
By the second calamity, there were fewer than ten true immortals and fewer than a hundred Earth Dieties.
However, the number of ordinary cultivators and mortals had increased explosively.
In the third calamity, which was the closest calamity to Lu Yuan’s era.
The true immortals had completely disappeared, and the number of Earth
Diety had also decreased.
The Mountain Sea Immortal, Xiang Yang, was an immortal that appeared in this era.
In Lu Yuan’s current era, not to mention true immortals, even Earth Diety did not seem to have appeared.
Or perhaps they had appeared, but because there were too few of them, Lu Yuan did not know of their existence at all.
He didn’t know the reason why the heavens did this, but as a cultivator of this era, Lu Yuan didn’t want to be one of the members destroyed by the heavenly. Judging from the previous three calamities, after the fourth calamity, the upper limit of top cultivators might not even be able to break through to the Earth Diety.
This was naturally not a good thing for cultivators.
For Lu Yuan, who pursued longevity, it was not a good thing.
Therefore, to resist this calamity, he had to be prepared.
Fortunately, according to Shan Yang Immortal, there were still about five thousand years left before the calamity of this era.
These five thousand years were enough for Lu Yuan to do many things.
If he could become a true immortal in 5,000 years, or even a higher position. Then, his chances of surviving the calamity would be even greater.
The reason why Shan Yang immortal had come to find Lu Yuan was related to this calamity.
He wanted to help Lu Yuan raise his cultivation as soon as possible.
Because he had a feeling that with his talent in this life, reaching the Earth Diety tier was already the limit.
He couldn’t reach the level of a true immortal.
But in Lu Yuan, he saw the seed of the fourth era of calamity, the seed of true immortality.
Xiang Yang even had a premonition that if Lu Yuan became a true immortal, he might be a relatively powerful existence among true immortals.
If there was such a peerless sword immortal leading everyone during the fourth calamity…
Then, their chances of resisting the calamity would be much greater.
Similar situations of nurturing descendants were also being carried out in other sects.
It could be said that for the sake of this calamity, the entire Upper Realm had already begun to act in secret.
And Lu Yuan would be one of the most important chips for their Spirit Sword Sect to fight against the catastrophe this time….
