Chapter 1034: Chapter 538: Sword Master’s Oath

"Fellow Daoist Tianji, your pavilion’s Celestial Secret Mirror is unparalleled in creation. Amidst this Heaven and Earth anomaly, does the Celestial Secret Mirror offer any warning?" The Taiyi Sect’s Vice Sect Master Xu looked at Elder Tianji and inquired.

The Celestial Secret Mirror in Elder Tianji’s hand is extraordinary, able to glimpse Tianji and foresee the future. Perhaps in this Heaven and Earth anomaly, it can ’see’ something.

As soon as his voice fell, everyone’s eyes fell on Elder Tianji, full of concern. The only person in the crowd not focused on Elder Tianji was Sword Master Feng, who glanced toward the direction of the Seven Profound Sect, his brows furrowed, pondering something.

Elder Tianji shook his head slightly, his expression solemn: "Although the Celestial Secret Mirror is marvelous, it is not omnipotent. This manifestation of Chaos Law is an unprecedented event, and the deeper meaning hidden behind it is difficult even for the Celestial Secret Mirror to fully grasp. However, the mirror does reveal a trace of omen, indicating that the Spirit Realm will face unprecedented turmoil; all sects and factions need to be vigilant and cautious."

After speaking, Elder Tianji took out the Celestial Secret Mirror from his body, its surface flowing with mysterious Spirit Patterns. He formed a Two-Hand Seal, injecting a vast amount of Spiritual Power into the mirror, which suddenly lit up and projected a series of blurry images: mountains crumbling, rivers flowing backward, Spiritual Qi exhaustion, battles between Demon Beasts and cultivators, ... many scenes revealing an atmosphere of the apocalypse descending.

"This is... the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth!" an old woman exclaimed. She was once a renowned powerhouse in the Spirit Realm, knowledgeable yet had never seen such a sight.

"Indeed, it is the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth!" Elder Tianji put away the Celestial Secret Mirror, looking around at the gathered Ancestors, speaking solemnly: "First the Demon Abyss invaded the Southern Wilderness, then came the crisis of Outer Realm Spiritual Qi exhaustion. Now, with the manifestation of Chaos Law, the Array of Two Realms’ Sealed Domain is about to collapse. This great calamity may sweep across the entire Spirit Realm, even affecting other realms, with no sect or being able to remain unscathed."

Upon hearing this, the Ancestors and Elders present had solemn expressions, exchanged glances, yet remained silent.

The exhaustion of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was long foreseen, widely known, and compared with the Ancient Times, the number of cultivators now is thousands and tens of thousands fold, and the consumption of cultivation resources is astronomical. High-Tier cultivators have become increasingly rare, advancing in cultivation has become increasingly difficult. The invasion of the Demon Abyss has further disrupted the long-standing peace of the Spirit Realm, leaving the Southern Wilderness in ruins, countless sects were destroyed, ... all signs indicating the balance of the Spirit Realm is being disrupted.

Originally, they had a shred of luck, but at this moment, that shred of luck was swept away like morning mist by the piercing cold wind. Everyone understood that facing this unprecedented Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, any escape or fantasy was futile.

"Our sect will close our mountain gates in ten years, fellow Daoists, until we meet again!" Sect Master You Fang of the Purple Sun Sect suddenly spoke up, announcing to everyone.

As soon as his voice fell, he cupped his hands towards everyone, then flew away.

Watching him depart, the scene fell into silence. Sect Master You Fang’s decision undoubtedly set the first domino in response to this crisis.

The sect elders and Ancestors exchanged complex glances, some sect leaders began to discuss in low voices, exchanging thoughts; some fell into contemplation, weighing the pros and cons of closing mountain gates.

Immediately, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, an old man with white hair, spoke up, stating: "My Medicine King Valley will also take similar measures, immediately activating the Grand Array to protect the sect’s peace, awaiting changes in the situation."

Seeing this, Elder Tianji gently sighed. Closing mountain gates is not a long-term plan, but in the current circumstances, it is the best choice for sects to preserve themselves. He looked around and said in a heartfelt tone: "Fellow Daoists, closing mountain gates is a temporary measure. We need to unite more, collectively searching for ways to combat the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth. Although the Celestial Secret Mirror cannot foresee the entire future, I will continue to observe and deduce to find a turning point. At the same time, I also hope that each sect can strengthen communication, share resources and information to jointly tackle this unprecedented crisis."

"Fellow Daoist Tianji, well said, Fire Cloud Sect awaits your good news!"

"Our sect the same!"

"Faced with the Great Calamity, Taiyi Sect is also willing to put aside sect differences and join hands with fellow Daoists to overcome difficulties."

...

Subsequently, sect leaders bid farewell one after another, each returning to their sects, starting preparations for closing mountain gates and responding to the calamity.

As the Ancestors left, only the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, and ten or so Elders Jian remained at the scene.

"This place is not far from the Seven Profound Sect, I will go visit Elder Li for a while!" In Sword Master Feng’s eyes flashed a deep look, thinking of something, he suddenly turned to the crowd, signaling.

"Brother Feng, I will go with you!"

As soon as Sword Master Feng finished, Sword Master Chen followed promptly.

Sword Master Feng nodded slightly: "You come with me, the rest return to the sect first!"

Upon hearing this, the Elders Jian cupped their hands in salute, then transformed into streaks of sword light cutting through the sky, swiftly heading in the direction of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.

Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen, like two soon-to-be-drawn sharp swords, flew above the Seven Profound Sect in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu sensed this in advance, withdrew the sect’s Protective Array, and led a group of sect elders to fly forward and greet them.

Knowing that the Condensation of the Chaos Realm caused great disturbance, after leaving the Chaos Secret Realm, Li Mu withdrew several Protective Arrays, concealed the Chaos Dao Body, and destroyed the Five Elements Shifting Array of the Sect Treasure Vault.

"Elder Li, long time no see! May I ask, what was the result of your seclusion, were you able to condense the Dharma Realm?" Sword Master Feng’s scrutinizing gaze fell on Li Mu, his tone carried a few hints of concern, he smiled and inquired.
