Chapter 1320: Journey to Lanhai, Delving into the Land of Calamity (Part 1)

Recently, Jiang Chengxuan had been deeply engrossed in his research on the Calamity Qi. The moment he heard about the so-called natural disaster, he immediately recognized it as an event triggered by the proliferation of Calamity Qi.

Calamity Qi is a primordial force of the universe, but unlike other primordial forces, it brings no benefit to cultivators or the Immortal Domain. The generation and eruption of Calamity Qi is a process that cannot be halted or reversed. Its subtle, pervasive influence, vast reach, and the high level of power it embodies are all characteristics of primordial energy.

However, what occupied Jiang Chengxuan’s thoughts at this moment was not the nature of Calamity Qi itself. When he uttered the words “Great Calamity,” a sudden burst of inspiration regarding the Minor Tribulation Pill illuminated his mind.

“What’s wrong, Chengxuan?” Yan Han, observing the change in Jiang Chengxuan’s expression, couldn’t help but ask with curiosity.

As an Earth Immortal, Yan Han was naturally aware of the Great Calamity. However, he didn’t fear it, as the power of his Earthly Paradise could safely see him through it. Therefore, Jiang Chengxuan’s strong reaction piqued his curiosity.

“It’s the Calamity Qi! The key to the Tribulation Pill lies in the Calamity Qi!”

Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes sparkled as he turned to Yan Han, his excitement barely contained.

Yan Han was momentarily stunned, then his expression mirrored Jiang Chengxuan’s surprise as he speculated, “Chengxuan, could it be that…?”

Jiang Chengxuan finally revealed the inspiration that had struck him:

“Yes, it’s the Calamity Qi! Despite all the modifications to the Minor Tribulation Pill, it still couldn’t fully cure the injury. I’ve been pondering what was missing, and now I understand! To heal an injury caused by Calamity Qi, the pill itself must be infused with Calamity Qi as a catalyst. Only then can the medicinal power penetrate the injury, confuse the Daoist laws, and completely dissolve it!”

As these words sank in, Yan Han found himself unable to remain calm. He took a deep breath, his eyes shining with newfound clarity.

Though Yan Han had been satisfied with the current effectiveness of the Minor Tribulation Pill, much of his satisfaction was out of consideration for Jiang Chengxuan’s efforts. If there was a chance to fully cure his injury, that would be ideal. Despite the difficulties and risks, he knew he had to pursue it.

Jiang Chengxuan’s words resonated with something deep within Yan Han. It was similar to his earlier intention of using the Celestial Tribulation Thunder to counteract the old injury with poison—a method that had triggered a subtle intuition within him, prompting him to seek out the thunder. The thought process aligned perfectly with the point Jiang Chengxuan had just illuminated.

In that instant, everything clicked into place.

“It seems that we should make a trip to the sites where the Calamity Qi has emerged.”

Both men fell into contemplative silence, pondering the situation. After a few moments, Jiang Chengxuan spoke again, his voice resolute.

Indeed, in the vastness of the Immortal Domain, the best place to acquire the Calamity Qi needed to refine a true Tribulation Pill would be those areas contaminated by the Calamity Qi.

It was a serendipitous turn of events. Just as Jiang Chengxuan’s research had hit a dead end, a solution had presented itself.

“Agreed,” Yan Han replied, with no reason to object. He immediately supported the decision.

As the two prepared to set off, an icy voice echoed in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.

[Ding!]

[The system has issued a task: Achieve the creation of a True Tribulation Pill!]

Jiang Chengxuan was taken aback for a moment before a smile spread across his face.

The True Tribulation Pill!

It was the complete form of the Minor Tribulation Pill. The system’s task confirmed Jiang Chengxuan’s earlier hypothesis: the missing element for the Tribulation Pill was indeed the power and laws of the Calamity Qi. If he could obtain this and refine a True Tribulation Pill, Yan Han’s old injury could be fully healed.

“Let’s go!” Jiang Chengxuan wasted no time, his determination unwavering as he spoke to Yan Han.

With a nod from Yan Han, the two erupted with boundless immortal energy, transforming into two beams of light that shot out of the Immortal Alliance.

…

At the border between the western and northern regions of the Xuánmíng Immortal Domain lies the land of Lanhai.

This area, rich in water elemental energy, was once rumored to be the ancestral land of the ancient Water Dragon Immortal. Over the past ten thousand years, it had been under the control of three Immortal Sects within the Xuánmíng Immortal Domain: the Shui Meng Immortal Sect, the Shui Huan Immortal Sect, and the Shui Ji Immortal Sect. These sects cultivated advanced water elemental techniques and nurtured numerous rare water-element treasures and beasts.

These three sects, each a middle-tier power in the Immortal Domain, had formed an alliance, becoming a formidable force at the border between the western and northern regions. Though they lacked an Earth Immortal Patriarch, their influence could not be underestimated. Together, they had fended off countless external threats, including invasions from upper-tier Immortal Domain forces. In one of the most perilous battles, they had even repelled an attack by an Earth Immortal Patriarch, gaining widespread renown.

But now, all of that had become nothing more than a memory.

And it happened in just one night.

Not long ago, the deep, mysterious blue ocean that was Lanhai had the misfortune of becoming a site where the Calamity Qi emerged.

On that day, an uncountable number of black protective shields of Qi erupted from the ocean depths…
