Hu Shu took a deep breath, turned and left the balcony. He knew that time was tight and there was no room for slacking off. Before dawn the next day, he summoned some Human Race elites and Jie Sect Disciple and went to a valley in Outside ZhaoGe City. Looking at the front In the valley full of aura but with a hint of mystery, Hu Shu said loudly, "From today on, we will train here to improve our strength and face the unknown crisis!" Everyone responded in unison with excited expressions. However, what they didn't know was that there seemed to be an unknown force hidden in this valley...
ZhaoGe City The residual warmth of the celebration has not completely dissipated. The streets and alleys are still filled with an atmosphere of joy, and people's laughter seems to still be echoing in their ears. But in this peacefulness, a sudden and strange aura, like a sharp knife, instantly cuts through the calm.
Hu Shu was discussing the follow-up development with several elders of Human Race. He suddenly raised his head and his expression changed suddenly. He was keenly aware that the sky had been covered with dark clouds and the clouds were thick at some point. It felt as if it was about to be suppressed. Looking carefully, there were faint Buddha Light and demonic energy flickering in the clouds. Sometimes golden light appeared, and sometimes Black Qi surged, emitting waves of disturbing fluctuations.
"Not good!" Hu Shu's heart tightened, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. He knew that this was by no means an ordinary celestial phenomenon, and it was very likely to indicate that a new calamity had quietly begun. And Human Race would face another huge test.
Almost at the same moment, Tongtian Cult Master, Houtu and others also noticed this abnormal aura. Tongtian Cult Master, Jie Sect Headquarters, holding Immortal Slaying Four Swords, frowned, looked at the sky and murmured to himself, "This aura... Could it be a new calamity? The smell of the Western Sect is quite strong." Houtu was in the underworld with a serious expression on his face. He stopped what he was doing to stabilize the order of reincarnation, and was secretly worried in his heart. "The calamity is coming again, and Human Race is not sure whether he can survive it safely this time."
Hu Shu did not dare to delay at all, and quickly sent a message to Tongtian Cult Master, Houtu and others, summoning them to the ZhaoGe Palace to discuss countermeasures. Not long after, everyone gathered together. In the palace, the atmosphere was as solemn as the real thing, and everyone's face was full of worry.
Hu Shu was the first to speak, with a heavy tone. "Everyone, everyone must have felt that weird aura. In my opinion, Journey to the West Tribulation may have turned on." Tongtian Cult Master snorted coldly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes. "Hmph, this calamity happened suddenly, Western Sect must be behind it. They have always coveted the resources and territory of the East, and this time I am afraid they want to use the calamity to expand their power."
Houtu nodded slightly, his beautiful eyes turned, and thought, "Western Sect's move will inevitably squeeze the development space of Human Race. Human Race's current foundation is not stable, and it really cannot withstand too much trouble." The Rogue Cultivators on the side also agreed one after another, with worried faces on their faces.
Everyone fell into a brief silence, thinking about how to deal with it. At this time, an older Rogue Cultivator hesitated and said, "Mr. Hu, Western Sect are powerful, and Saint is in charge, how should we respond?"
Hu Shu glanced at the crowd firmly and said in a deep voice, "Although Western Sect is strong, we are not without a chance of winning. The top priority is that we must pay close attention to the dynamics of the calamity and find out Western Sect's specific plan. At the same time, strengthen Human Race's defense and enhance Human Race's strength."
Tongtian Cult Master stroked his beard and nodded, agreeing, "What Brother Hu said is absolutely true. I, Interception Sect, am willing to fully assist Human Race and jointly resist The threat of the Western Sect." Houtu also added, "I will stabilize the order of the underworld and ensure that reincarnation is not disturbed. At the same time, I will also pay attention to the movements of Primordial World and provide support for everyone."
Hu Shu glanced at the two of them gratefully and said, "Human Race is very lucky to have two of you helping us. We also need to mobilize the power of Human Race to make everyone more vigilant and ready to deal with various situations."
Everyone also discussed some specific defensive measures and intelligence collection methods. Hu Shu arranged some clever Human Race disciples to disperse to various places in Primordial World, paying close attention to the Western Sect's every move. If there is any sign of trouble, immediately report it. The news was immediately sent back. Tongtian Cult Master decided to select a group of elite disciples from the Interception Sect to settle in several important strongholds of Human Race to assist in the defense. After Houtu returned to the underworld, he strengthened the connection between the underworld and the human world to ensure the smooth transmission of information.
However, things are not that simple. Just as everyone was busy preparing to deal with the Western Sect, some strange phenomena began to appear around ZhaoGe City. At night, strange noises can often be heard in the city, as if countless innocent souls are crying; during the day, some black mist occasionally appears in the sky, lingering, making people feel depressed and frightened.
Hu Shu realized that this might be Western Sect doing something secretly, trying to disturb Human Race's military morale. On the one hand, he comforted the Human Race people and told them not to panic, and on the other hand, he increased the intensity of patrolling ZhaoGe City.
During an inspection, Hu Shu met a mysterious Rogue Cultivator. This Rogue Cultivator was in ragged clothes and disheveled hair, but his eyes were extremely bright. He stopped Hu Shu and whispered, "Mr. Hu, I noticed that the abnormality of ZhaoGe City is not accidental, it seems to be related to an ancient formation of the Western Sect. This formation is called 'Netherworld Soul-Snatching Formation', which can disturb people's hearts and absorb the essence of living creatures for their use."
Hu Shu was shocked and asked hurriedly, "How did you know this? Is there any way to solve it?" Rogue Cultivator smiled slightly, took out a shabby ancient book from his arms and handed it to Hu Shu: "I got this by accident. This ancient book records some information about this formation. To break this formation, you need to find five Spirit Pearl containing pure spiritual energy, place them in the five directions of ZhaoGe City, and use Five Elements Power to overcome each other to break the formation."
Hu Shu took the ancient book, read it carefully, and secretly wrote down the method to crack it. He gratefully said to Rogue Cultivator, "Thank you very much for letting me know. I wonder what your surname is? Human Race will be of great importance in the future." Thank you." Rogue Cultivator waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm just an idle person, and the road is uneven. Mr. Hu Don't worry about it. If Human Race can survive this crisis, it will be the greatest thank you to me."
Hu Shu did not dare to delay, and immediately began to search for Five Spirit Pearls according to the records in ancient books. He mobilized the power of Human Race and searched all over Primordial World. After some hard work, he finally found five Spirit Pearl that met the requirements.
Hu Shu took Spirit Pearl, Tongtian Cult Master and others to the five directions of ZhaoGe City, and placed Spirit Pearl one by one according to the positions of the five elements. As Spirit Pearl was in place, a powerful Five Elements Power spread out, competing with the weird black mist.
I saw the black mist gradually dissipating under the impact of Five Elements Power. The strange phenomena around ZhaoGe City also disappeared, and the faces of the people finally showed reassuring smiles again.
However, Hu Shu knew that this was just a test by the Western Sect, and the real crisis was yet to come. He did not dare to relax at all, and continued to strengthen Human Race's defense, paying close attention to the Western Sect's movements.
At the same time, among the Western Sect, several Sect Master are also discussing the next plan. "Then Hu Shu has some tricks to crack our 'Netherworld Soul-Snatching Formation' so quickly.." One Sect Master said with a gloomy face. Another Sect Master sneered, "It doesn't matter, this is just an appetizer. Our plan has just begun. Under the calamity, Human Race will have no way out."
Journey to the West Tribulation has been launched, and undercurrents from all parties are surging. Western Sect's plan is like a huge net, slowly spreading towards Human Race. Although Hu Shu and others are prepared, how will they break the situation in the face of the Western Sect's powerful plan? And how will they find opportunities for Human Race to grow in the calamity? Everything is full of unknowns...
