In the Hidden Sword Palace.

Perfected Lord Xuan Yang, Earth Walker and Yan Wushuang clearly did not expect Jiang Chengxuan and the others to return.

However, when they heard what happened to the three of them, their expressions changed.

Especially Perfected Lord Xuan Yang.

His face grew unusually solemn as he listened.

Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Perfected Lord Flowing Snow seemed to realize something significant and turned their attention towards Perfected Lord Xuan Yang.

Perfected Lord Flowing Snow inquired, “Perfected Lord Xuan Yang, do you have any understanding of this matter?”

Earth Walker and Yan Wushuang also turned their gazes towards Perfected Lord Xuan Yang, waiting for his response.

Perfected Lord Xuan Yang fell silent for a moment before saying with a dark expression,

“This is the omen of a demonic calamity.”

“The omen of a demonic disaster?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s pupils slightly contracted.

Perfected Lord Flowing Snow, Earth Walker, and Yan Wushuang seemed less informed about this.

After all, they were relatively younger, with none of them having lived for more than nine hundred years, and thus had not personally experienced the demonic calamity that occurred every twelve hundred years.

Only Perfected Lord Xuan Yang, as a grand cultivator, truly understood the nature of this so-called demonic calamity.

He nodded, confirming their fears, “Yes, it is indeed an ominous sign of demonic calamity.”

Pausing for a moment, Perfected Lord Xuan Yang continued, “Now it’s time to let you be aware of some truths.”

Hearing this, Perfected Lord Flowing Snow, Earth Walker, Yan Wushuang, and Jiang Chengxuan tensed up, realizing they were about to learn secrets previously unknown to them.

Even Shen Ruyan, who was once among the peak figures of this world, focused intently, prepared to listen seriously to what Perfected Lord Xuan Yang was about to reveal.

Despite her extensive knowledge of many secrets, she understood that much could have changed since her era.

After all, a long time had passed since then.

During this long period of time, whether there were any changes in this world was not something she could know.

Perfected Lord Xuan Yang continued, “Regarding the demonic calamity, or demonic disaster, I believe you all have heard of it.

The Seven Lotus Demonic Sect, the Black Sky Demonic Sect, and the Crimson Lord were all demonic calamities our world has faced.

These calamities used to occur every twelve hundred years, but since the rise of the Seven Lotus Demonic Sect, the interval has shortened to every thousand years.

And according to predictions from Heavenly Lords, this interval is expected to shorten further over time.”

At his words, Perfected Lord Flowing Snow, Earth Walker, and Yan Wushuang were deeply shocked.

Even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan felt a heavy sense of unease, understanding all too well what the shortening interval between demonic calamities meant.

It indicated that the world’s will was being eroded, and the barriers between all the worlds were weakening.

When the barrier of this world was weakened to a certain extent,

At that time, the person in the outer world could complete his absolute control of this world without needing to create demonic calamities.

“Senior brother, what about the ominous sign of demonic calamity you mentioned?

What does the incident Fellow Daoist Jiang and his Dao companion faced signify?” Yan Wushuang asked anxiously.

“This is another point I wanted to discuss with you,” Perfected Lord Xuan Yang said gravely. “Since the era of the Crimson Lord, every demonic calamity in our world has been preceded by various signs.

For example, during the calamity brought about by the Black Sky Demonic Sect, there were unexplained periods of darkness, even at noon or early morning.

During the Seven Lotus Demonic Sect’s calamity, the appearance of the seven-colored lotus platforms led many, including several Nascent Soul cultivators, astray.

These cultivators, once paragons of virtue and heroes who had slain numerous demonic cultivators, fell into the demonic path, something that even Heavenly Lords found unbelievable at the time.

Later on, as they investigated and understood more, they realized that when the omen of a demonic calamity appeared, many things that looked like opportunities but were actually mind-corroding would appear out of thin air in their world.

Anyone who came into contact with these items risked being tainted by demonic Qi, losing their sense of self, and becoming puppets completely controlled by demonic will, unless they possessed specific protective treasures.

The current cultivation world of the Nine Essences has already given such a phenomenon an appropriate name.

It’s demonic contamination.

The most terrifying aspect of these contaminated cultivators is their ability to remain undetected unless they choose to reveal themselves, making it difficult even for grand cultivators like me to notice them..”
