Chapter 1384: The Hidden Threat of Qingyun, Declaration of War (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations

The Old Site of the Qingyun Immortal Sect.

Located just a million miles away from the perilous West Sky Black Sea, this place was once the proud homeland of the Qingyun Immortal Sect.

Here, countless disciples cultivated their immortality, and mortal cities thrived under their protection.

The lands once stretched far and wide, covered in endless rolling hills of lush greenery, like clouds stretching to the heavens.

The Qingyun Immortal Sect nurtured millions of beings, its power once unmatched, with grand cities and sects dotting the landscape.

Immortals and mortals coexisted peacefully, and cultivation flourished.

But all of that is now nothing more than a memory, swept away by the tides of calamity.

With the descent of the great catastrophe, the Qingyun province suffered horrific losses, and its inhabitants faced unimaginable suffering.

Though the Qingyun Immortal Sect tried to shelter as many as they could within their Earth Immortal domain, offering sanctuary to the fleeing cultivators and mortals, their efforts could only save a fraction of the once-great population.

Those unlucky enough to be left behind had no choice but to flee, seeking refuge in distant lands, while many others perished, consumed by calamity, their bodies transformed into puppets or fading into black mist.

Now, the Qingyun Immortal Sect’s once-prosperous lands lie in ruin, covered by choking calamity energy, shrouded in darkness.

The once-vibrant mountain ranges are now pierced by the roots of Mysterious Trees, their iron-like tendrils burrowing deep into the earth, greedily siphoning all remaining life force from the land.

A vast web of black and eerie light blankets the entire region, where countless calamity spirits roam, their whispers carried on the chilling winds.

The cities that once thrived are reduced to crumbling ruins, with their walls toppled and their magnificent palaces collapsed into desolate heaps.

The once-sacred cultivation grounds of the Qingyun Immortal Sect are now overrun by foul waters and twisted spirits, transformed into nests for demonic creatures.

The grand halls, once radiating divine brilliance, are now charred remnants, consumed by the unrelenting flames of calamity that burn endlessly, as if they would never extinguish.

As for the many beings that once called these lands home, their bones are nowhere to be found.

Instead, every wisp of calamity energy is the lingering resentment and remnants of their spirits.

And now, these harrowing scenes played out vividly in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind, as the power of his Heavenly Calamity Divination showed him the horrifying sight of the Mysterious Trees devouring the Qingyun Immortal Sect’s lands.

The sheer scale of the devastation and the powerful calamity energy left him deeply shaken.

The calamity force at this site was already far stronger than what he had encountered at the Liuyun Valley, and it was clear that the Mysterious Trees had absorbed the entire life force of Qingyun Mountain.

Their roots were now creeping closer, soon to reach the lands of Xizhou and the Scattered Immortal Alliance.

“Sigh!” Jiang Chengxuan exhaled deeply, putting away the divination compass and letting the power of karma dissipate from his body.

His expression was deep and contemplative as he gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

The encroachment of the Mysterious Trees was imminent, and they had no choice but to prepare—whether to flee or fight, they needed to decide on a course of action soon.

If not, the Scattered Immortal Alliance would meet the same fate as the Qingyun Immortal Sect.

“Husband!” A soft voice called out from behind, breaking his thoughts.

It was Shen Ruoyan, her graceful figure stepping out of the shadows, her gentle voice filled with concern.

Jiang Chengxuan turned toward his beloved wife, his expression softening as he spoke.

“What’s the matter, my dear?”

Without speaking, Shen Ruoyan walked up to his side, gently taking his hand.

Together, they stepped outside their abode, standing beneath the vast expanse of the starry sky.

In silent understanding, they shared this brief moment of peace.

Though destruction loomed, and the storm gathered on the horizon, the night sky remained dazzling and bright, its stars twinkling in all their glory.

Yet, few had the heart to appreciate its beauty.

Under the weight of the great calamity, everyone’s minds were consumed with thoughts of survival, with little room for anything else.

But beneath the stars, Jiang Chengxuan could feel the intent behind Shen Ruoyan’s actions.

She sought to ease his worries, and for a moment, they shared a quiet calm, as if they were the only two souls in the universe.

“From the Lower Realms to here, I’ve realized that the stars in the Immortal Realm aren’t all that different from those below,” Shen Ruoyan mused with a soft smile.

“They’re just brighter, maybe more dazzling.”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled in return.

“No matter where we are on this journey to immortality, whether at the foot of the mountain or halfway up, perhaps it all feels the same in the end.”

His words revealed the heaviness in his heart.

As the calamity bore down, he realized that despite all his strength and accomplishments, he was still subject to the whims of fate, no different from any other living being under the heavens.

“Maybe so,” Shen Ruoyan replied, her laughter light and carefree.

“But to me, standing here by your side is already a dream come true.

This happiness, how can it be ordinary?”

Jiang Chengxuan’s heart stirred at her words.

He held her hand tighter, his gaze soft as he replied.

“Today, and in the future, we will walk even farther together and witness many more sights along the path of immortality.”
