Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1131: Chapter 685: Subdue

Yousu Country, Sky Fox Sacred Land.

Although the great battle had just ended, and time was pressing, the Yousu Clan still swiftly prepared a banquet and invited Xu Yang to take the seat of honor, with Yousu Yu and another Sky Fox True Immortal accompanying him on left and right.

“Brother Dao, you traveled thousands of miles to assist us, saving our Yousu family from peril. The Yousu Clan has no way to repay you enough, this modest wine is but a small token of our appreciation!”

Yousu Yu and the other Sky Fox True Immortal each raised their glasses, one on the left and one on the right, thanking Xu Yang courteously.

“Taoist friend, there’s no need for such, eliminating demons and expelling evil is part of my duty.”

Xu Yang shook his head, downed the wine in his glass, and then went straight to the point, asking Yousu Yu and the other, “The world is now in turmoil, and the Divine Land is ravaged; when its peace will be restored is unknown. What are both of your plans?”

“This…”

Yousu Yu and the Sky Fox True Immortal exchanged glances, then shook their heads, their beautiful eyes revealing a bitter smile: “To not conceal from Brother Dao, we too are hesitant and uncertain on how to face this disaster.”

Their words were bitter, revealing their helplessness.

Dark Chaos, the great disaster of the Divine Land, the proverbial sword overhead had finally fallen.

The Yousu Clan, though not annihilated in this battle, had suffered Serious Damage to the Vital Energy. Two out of their three main cities had fallen, countless of their people had died or been injured, and losses in all areas were beyond measure. Without thousands of years of recuperation, they couldn’t hope to recover their Vital Energy.

This was still under the condition that Wandao School had come to assist in time and Yousu’s capital was not breached. Had Xu Yang and the others been even a step late, it’s feared that their Fox Master might have perished, and without a True Immortal in the Yousu Clan, how could they establish themselves in the Divine Land in future? How much hardship and cost would be required for that…

Yousu Yu was fully aware of this and thus felt residual fear, and at this moment, felt even more hesitant and helpless.

Although they had the help of Wandao School this time, suppressing the unknown Underworld Soldiers, it was just the beginning of the turmoil, not the end. No one could assure them that new crises wouldn’t emerge next.

This is what makes the Dark Chaos most difficult to guard against; it comes without warning and also has no known end. The former makes you unable to guard effectively, while the latter prevents you from knowing how to survive – because the world may have thieves for a thousand days, but no place can be guarded for a thousand days.

Of course, having experienced multiple turmoils, various powers have gained some understanding.

If it were an ultimate Immortal Gate or supreme Imperial Dynasty, with deep potentiality and ample accumulations, having Emperor’s Weapons to suppress formidable enemies would not be much said; definitely just hold position at the Sect’s founding land till the turmoil ends.

This is the most prudent strategy, but clearly, the Yousu Clan does not meet these conditions.

In such a case, they can only resort to the second best option, either gamble on luck and defend their ancestral land together, or relocate the whole clan out of the Divine Land and return once the Dark Chaos ends.

The former is extremely risky, a matter of death and life by fate’s grace; if luck does not favor, they might encounter a dreadful existence and face the extinction of the whole clan.

The latter also depends on luck and is still risky, as now that the chaos has spread, countless demons and evil spirits roam the Divine Land. The desire to leave the Divine Land for abroad is filled with challenges and risks; one wrong move or enemy encounter could result in the extermination of the clan.

Beyond these, the Lower Realm has its laws; True Immortals and Emperor’s Weapons along with Tenth Order Heavy Weapons cannot leave the Divine Land, once departed, they will be repelled by the world, especially the Emperor’s Weapons, no World-Staying Secret Method would help, as they would directly Shatter the Void for Ascension to the Upper Realm.

Therefore, even if they wish to evacuate the Divine Land as a clan, these True Immortals cannot accompany them, having to face the darkness alone, the risks are far greater than holding position in their ancestral land, and no one would wish to take this step unless absolutely necessary.

Yousu Yu felt the same.

But if not taking this step, what else could they do?

Should they continue to hold the position, gamble on Heaven’s Will and Qi Fortune?

After this battle, having a clearer understanding of the horrors of this turmoil, Yousu Yu truly lacked the confidence to hold out.

So…

Yousu Yu lifted her eyes to meet Xu Yang’s, instantly filled with expectation, but not daring to speak outright, hoping he would understand.

Seeing this, Xu Yang also was straightforward, addressing the matter directly: “If Taoist friend does not disdain it, you can move your clan into my Taoist Domain, taking refuge there temporarily. After the turmoil subsides and the disaster vanishes, you can return to your ancestral land.”

“Are these words true?”

Upon hearing this, Yousu Yu immediately uttered in surprise, looking at Xu Yang with shocked and uncertain eyes.

It wasn’t strange for her to be so startled; Xu Yang’s approach was truly unexpected, eliciting both surprise and joy in her, hard to believe.

Everyone in the Divine Land knows how terrifying the turmoil is, how fierce the great disaster is, even Holy Land Immortal Sects and Imperial Ancient Clans face the risk of annihilation, so why not band together, unite the power of all parties, and jointly resist the great disaster of the turmoil?

There are many reasons for this, such as the Dark Chaos’s unpredictable arrival, making it impossible for all parties to guard indefinitely, and so on, but those aren’t the main reasons.

What is the main reason?

No one knows!

But two conspiracy theories are particularly noisy.

One, the turmoil is unstoppable, the great disaster unresistable.

Some believe that behind this turmoil and great disaster is related to the Ancient Times’ ultimate demise, the falling of the Demon Star from the Nine Heavens, involving beings of great power from the Upper Realm to the Heavenly Immortal Taoist Master, incredibly terrifying entities that no one can stop, even if all parties joined forces.

Thus, the factions cannot unite. Should they do so, it would only intensify the turmoil, calling forth even more terrifying entities, and wipe out all powers in one fell swoop.

This is one theory; the other still relates to this conspiracy theory. Given that this Dark Chaos was caused by that Ancient Demon Star after falling into the Divine Land, what was the reason for stirring this turmoil?

It could only be a few possibilities; one of which, to prolong life or to resurrect, by slaughtering the people of the Divine Land through the Dark Chaos, amassing strength to aid the revival of the entity behind that Demon Star.
