Xu Bai stood below the mountain peak and gazed upward at the elders who were in a conference.

If he could convince the Ancient One, the issue wouldn’t escalate.

The next step would be to inform the head of the Clear Sky School.

Both the sects got along well together, but the northern region and western region always had different motivations.

If something were to happen, they’d bear the brunt.

The Clear Sky School and the Bright Moon Sect had significant influence and status. Even if something happened, it would give them enough time to react.

However, the Mountain Sea Sword Sect and the Astronomical Academy were closer to the South and would certainly be reluctant to get involved.

The Bright Moon Sect’s proposition was akin to putting their entire family fortune up to a gamble.

If they won, everyone would be happy. But if they lost, then someone would have to sacrifice themselves to buy some time for others.

However, it would give them enough time to think of something.

If their defense was good, the pressure would be less.

For now, Xu Bai could only guarantee some sort of cooperation between the Clear Sky School and the Bright Moon Sect.

It would take no less than three months to settle matters with the other sects.

A vague claim wouldn’t make others willing to put everything at stake. That would be unrealistic to expect.

He didn’t know how the North and West would react.

However, if they were to act, they would surely send communication. If that happened, they would be facing it together.

Atop the Star Platform, the Ancient One and others discussed for a long time. They were unsure how to approach the other immortal sects.

“The Clear Sky School might be fine with it, but the North and West will surely hesitate. If they refuse, we’ll be in a do-or-die situation,” someone said.

“But what if someone can actually balance the four pillars?” asked the Ancient One.

“Do you have anything that can prove that?”

The Ancient One was speechless. There was no evidence to prove anything.

There was simply no way to know whether the eruption would actually happen in the next three months.

They weren’t entirely convinced themselves, so persuading the other sects was even more difficult, especially those sects that were already dealing with their own crises.

“Let’s at least initiate communication and see what happens,” someone said.

After activating an artifact, everyone waited.

After a short while, an elder emerged with a peculiar look on his face.

“How did it go?” asked the Ancient One.

The elder lowered their head. “The North and the West… agreed.”

Everyone was speechless.

At that moment, a middle-aged man said, “Alright. Now that a consensus is reached, let’s clear out the unnecessary things to avoid any confusion later.”

At the Blackheaven Sect, Bi Zhu arrived at the Sun and Moon Peak.

Xuanyuan Tai was in the trial area.

Xuanyuan He guarded the place.

If it were someone else, she wouldn’t have let them in, but Bi Zhu was an exception.

They wouldn’t have succeeded if it hadn’t been for her. It wouldn’t be fair to prevent her from entering the place.

Bi Zhu sighed and tapped the stone covering. “Senior Brother Xuanyuan? Are you there?”

There was no response from inside.

Xuanyuan He was at a loss.

“I’ll get straight to the point,” Bi Zhu said solemnly. “We’re in a do-or-die situation in the South, and we might need the Xuanyuan Sword’s help. Please, could you ask for its help in the matter?” Bi Zhu didn’t want to die.

She was still young, with endless potential.

Someone like her couldn’t be at the frontline, and yet, here she was. Fate had played its hand.

There was no escape.

All she could do was face it and seek help from the Grand Earth Emperor.

She could only help that he would assist, and she would have a chance at survival.

She had no intention of leaving.

This place was probably the only place where the influence of the Earth extreme Silent Pearl could be withstood.

It wasn’t because strong individuals resided in the south, but because the Xuanyuan Sword that was once wielded by the Human Emperor was here.

Perhaps it could protect a small area in the South.

If the four great immortal sects could hold out long enough, she might still have a chance at survival.

Xuanyuan He felt puzzled but remained silent.

Jiang Hao stood on the boat and waited quietly.

He occasionally checked the stone tablet, but there was no exchange within it.

He wasn’t sure how things were going.

The four great immortal sects wouldn’t notify him if they chose to intervene. This time, the impact of the inevitable was vast, and he had limited options for escape.

If Hong Yuye didn’t act and the four great sects hesitated, his life would be at great risk.

Weakness was one thing, but he seemed to have become arrogant recently.

He foolishly thought that reaching the late stage of the Return to Void Realm meant that nothing could affect him.

Gradually, he started believing that he would be able to deal with any danger that came his way.

That had led to the current crisis.

‘If I survive this time, I’ll need to be more cautious.’

Meanwhile, Hong Yuye sipped her tea and observed the ever-increasing size of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

Three days later, Jiang Hao heard a rumble.

In the sky, the four major constellations sparkled, and an immense power descended from the heavens.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. It had begun.

Meanwhile, in the South, many of those in the shadows also detected an unusual aura.

People from the Great Thousand God Sect noticed it too. They retreated and avoided involving themselves in the matters of the South.

Although many didn’t understand what was happening, they all began to withdraw.

Even Feng Hua retreated discreetly.updat℮ by n℮wnoѵel. 0rg

On the other side, The End of All Things became even more bold. They previously hid in the shadows, but now, they entered the city and performed blood sacrifices in the open.

They aimed to support the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

At the moment they were about to succeed, thunder surged from the sky.

Boom!

Countless members of The End of All Things vanished.

A figure descended from the sky. Their gaze lowered upon the individuals below, and flames ignited around them.

No grass grew where they stepped. Everything was incinerated.

In an instant, all the members of The End of All Things turned to ashes.

“This is so troublesome! I still have to visit a few more places. The End of All Things always likes to play these petty games!”

“They should’ve stopped when they had the chance. They’ve become so brazen!”

The figure arrived from the sky and disappeared into thin air.

At the Blackheaven Sect, Bi Zhu waited. She wasn’t waiting for the Xuanyuan Sword to take action but for the outcome..
