Upon hearing Shen Xinziâs words, the disciples of Medicine Valley all cheered, yet Shen Xinzi hesitated as if he wanted to say more.
He intended to say one thing, that it seemed no continent had been chosen.
To obliterate a continent, what immense power it must require, he, being from the ninth layer of the Wandering Immortal Realm, could surely sense it.
However, he could not openly mention this, for fear that these mortals would be terrified.
Even if they knew what would happen next, what could they do?
Better to enjoy this surprise and live the remaining days as carefree as possible.
Time continued to pass.
With the moon setting and the sun rising, only when the next dayâs sunlight swept across the Great Heaven and Earth did the creatures of the continent finally breathe a sigh of relief, for the Life-Seizing Immortal had said that each day, one continent would be chosen, and they had survived the first day.
The situation at the Supreme Sect also settled down; although many noble families began to retreat, the core foundation remained unshaken.
When Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley, normalcy had returned to Medicine Valley. After Xiaochuan left and An Xin began to manage Medicine Valley, and because of her gentle nature, most disciples liked her, so there had been no issues under her management.
Shen Zhen found him soon after he returned.
âDo you want a place to hide?â Shen Zhen asked with a smug smile, her eyes gleaming behind her veil.
While walking toward a distant garden, Gu An casually asked, âHow would we hide?â
Following his steps, Shen Zhen explained, âI can hide you inside a painting or scroll, and then keep it hidden. Wouldnât that be a refuge?â
âPeople are trying to obliterate continents; where could you hide?â
âUnderground, of course. He said he would obliterate continents, sure he meant to demolish the mortals and shatter the land, not obliterate the earth completely.â
âThat makes sense. Are you a genius by any chance?â
Gu An suddenly realized, looking at Shen Zhen with amazed eyes.
A twitch appeared at the corner of Shen Zhenâs veiled mouth, clearly perceiving the sarcasm in Gu Anâs tone.
Gu An continued, âDonât overthink it. I always feel that yesterday our continent was not excluded. That mysterious pressure was no lie. Also, havenât you noticed how calm today has been?â
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen narrowed her eyes, âAre you suggesting that the Great Cold Demon Sectâs offensive was thwarted?â
âVery likely. After all, I trust that the heavens are just. There must be Great Cultivators out there with a heart for the mortals. A heretical path like the Great Cold Demon Sect cannot last forever!â
Gu An declared with conviction, his face full of determination.
Shen Zhen suddenly found it hard to judge him; calling him foolish wouldnât explain his current stature, and calling him naive wouldnât explain how he could write something as unique as âJourney to the West.â
âYou say the heavens are just. Tell me, do you believe that real Immortals exist, beyond those with great cultivation levels?â Shen Zhen suddenly asked, curious.
She had always believed that âInvestiture of the Godsâ and âJourney to the Westâ were not fabricated but were inspired by something Gu An had seen, elaborated with decorative imagination and fantasy.
Perhaps, as Gu An claimed, an Immortal guided him in his dreams.
Gu An and Shen Zhen chatted casually, a microcosm of the wider world, where everywhere people discussed the Life-Seizing Immortal.
Without his demise, the catastrophe would not end.
Two days later.
Nine-Finger Divine Lord and Stealing the Five Elements returned to the Third Medicine Valley, almost as if they had planned it.
Sitting before a chessboard, they exchanged a look, their eyes heavy with gravity.
âDid you feel it too?â Stealing the Five Elements asked.
The Divine Lord made his move, saying, âA net of heaven and earth, no escape.â
Stealing the Five Elements then played his piece, âHow come you have no escape? Iâm the one whoâs bound by fate.â
Continuing to glance towards a distant pavilion.
Ji Xiaoyu was his hope.
The Divine Lord fell silent, sighing deeply.
Stealing the Five Elements looked at him, curiously asking, âSpeaking of which, Iâve always wondered, what exactly are you looking for?â
The Divine Lord didnât respond, leaving Stealing the Five Elements contemplative, a subtle look crossing his face.
âŠ
In the Divine Exotic Realm.
By the sea.
The Master of Divine Exotic Realm stood before the Divine Exotic Life Tablet, surrounded by seven Divine Exotic Ghost Kings, all of them looking up into the sky.
Beneath the blood-red sky hung a swirling horsetail whisk.
Compared to the calm demeanor of the Master of Divine Exotic Realm, the other Divine Exotic Ghost Kings looked uneasy, knowing whom they faced.
âMaster of Divine Exotic Realm, prepare to join us in an expedition.â
A cold voice resounded, echoing through the entire Great Heaven and Earth.
In a distant cave, Zhang Buku also heard this voice and inadvertently opened his eyes, his brow furrowed in worry for the Master of Divine Exotic Realm.
With an expressionless face, the Master of Divine Exotic Realm asked, âAn expedition to where?â
âTo avenge Divine Exotic Impermanence.â
The cold voice spoke again, causing the faces of the Divine Exotic Ghost Kings and the Realm Master to shift.
The Great Cold Demon Sect and that entity were indeed going to clash!
This battle might determine the fate of this Mortal World region!
âŠ
In the Star Sea Congregations, a small Heaven and Earth.
An Hao stood before the palace gates, observing disciples constantly entering and exiting the floating islands, his brows deeply furrowed.
A figure appeared beside him, his Master, Sage Fuchen.
An Hao quickly said, âMaster, itâs good youâre here, I need to speak with youâŠâ
âLetâs talk while on the way. Prepare for retreat, we must withdraw today!â Sage Fuchen said in a grave tone.
âWhy?â An Hao couldnât help but ask.
âThe Great Cold Demon Sect is making a major descent, targeting the continent where the Sword Venerable Fudao resides. They appear to be intent on sieging your master,â Sage Fuchen explained.
On hearing this, An Hao became anxious.
Before he could reply, Sage Fuchen continued, âYour cultivation level wonât assist your master. Itâs best to leave early. Your master, although strong, canât withstand the full assault of the Great Cold Demon Sect, otherwise, he wouldnât be on the defensive.â
An Hao gritted his teeth, âMy concern isnât for my master. I must go back!â
An Xin was still within the Supreme Sect; how could he abandon her?
He immediately leaped up, intending to forcefully break out of the Star Sea Congregationâs realm. Suddenly, long hair wrapped around him, surprisingly Sage Fuchenâs horsetail whisk.
âMaster!â An Hao cried out in anguish, startling the other disciples.
Sage Fuchen held the horsetail whisk, chanting incantations. The whiskâs hairs quickly extended, gagging An Hao.
âIâm sorry, disciple!â
Sage Fuchenâs eyes became resolute.
This scene left the other disciples silent; without discussion, they all understood and felt the heaviness in their hearts, likewise having people they couldnât leave behind.
The Star Sea Congregations were about to flee!

In another realm.
Li Ya, leveraging Divine Exotic City, forcefully broke free, unobstructed by anyone.
He quickly flew out over the Star Sea, heading towards the horizon.
âDisciple, think carefully, once you go, there is no turning back.â
An old voice sounded, and as Li Ya turned his head, he didnât see his masterâs figure.
He did not answer but instructed the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit on his shoulder to move forward.
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit howled, and the Divine Exotic City immediately displayed extraordinary speed, streaking towards the horizon.
After flying for a while and seeing no one pursued, Li Ya relaxed, his gaze hardened.
âJunior Brother Gu, wait for me!â
âAnd the old ancestor, I wonder if youâre still thinking of me!â
Li Ya thought silently, his face heavy.
Initially, his emotions werenât profoundly impacted, fueled only by fury as Zhang Buku became a Divine Exotic Resentful Ghost. However, the moment the Star Sea Congregations announced their departure, he panicked.
The Star Sea Congregations were a major force at sea; if there was any chance of victory, they wouldnât be abandoning their domain.
Hearing that the Great Cold Demon Sect aimed to target the Sword Venerable Fudao, he couldnât contain himself.
The Sword Venerable Fudao was his Primordial Ancestor; he was less worried about him, as the ancestor could escape if he couldnât fight, but he feared for the others who might not escape.
He had to be quick.
Li Ya clenched his teeth, fearing the continent had already fallen.
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit, however, was not panicked, leaping joyfully in the air, which both irritated and envied Li Ya.
This creature seemed to fear nothing, its confidence was unknown.
Time rapidly passed.
Two Ancient Hours later.
Li Ya, sitting atop the tower meditating, suddenly sensed something, opening his eyes to find the Divine Exotic City enveloped in darkness. Instinctively, he looked up, then his eyes widened in disbelief.
âHow⊠how⊠possibleâŠâ
Li Ya murmured to himself, his voice trembling, his eyes full of despair.
âŠ
In the Third Medicine Valley.
At the garden fence, Gu An was stretching his muscles.
Passing by, You Yingying curiously asked, âWhat are you doing? Isnât there exercise in the morning?â
Gu An replied, âJust felt like moving. Is that not allowed?â
What followed was sure to be a great battle!
It must be said, the Great Cold Demon Sect was indeed frightening!
The dense auras attacking from all directions were overwhelmingly oppressive, and once they arrived, if seen by the denizens of the continent, it would surely cause legs to tremble.
You Yingying looked at him, unable to resist asking, âEveryone is worried about the calamity, why arenât you afraid?â
âBecause Iâm not afraid, so Iâm not frightened,â Gu An responded casually, his words leading You Yingying to glare, feeling the urge to punch him.
She couldnât understand Gu An at all; out for experience, he feared death, yet, with calamity impending, he seemed not to fear it.
Truly a baffling person.
Yet, somehow, the more anxious she felt, the more she wanted to talk to Gu An, perhaps it was his fearless demeanor.
Gu An guessed her thoughts and smiled, âWhether you worry or fear, it wonât change anything, will it?â
You Yingying opened her mouth, unsure how to respond.
Gu An drew his Heavenly Residence Sword, suddenly unsheathing it.
The swordâs light gleamed in You Yingyingâs face, snapping her out of her trance.
Looking at Gu An holding the sword, You Yingyingâs earlier illusion reemerged, his forehead marked with golden patterns, appearing extraordinary as if an Immortal Lord on Earth.
She had to admit, although Gu Anâs cultivation level wasnât impressive, his appearance and bearing were truly out of this world, unlike a mortal.
Gu An raised his sword towards You Yingying, the bladeâs tip reflecting in her pupils, causing her to shiver.
âIf only this sword could slash away the fear in your hearts, how wonderful would that be?â Gu An said wistfully.
You Yingying was left in a daze.
