On the way back to the Sword Sect.
Jianxin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Master, why did you leave after only saying a few words to her?"
Su Chen walked through the void with his hands behind his back, calmly saying, "There's nothing to say."
Jianxin asked doubtfully, "But didn't you come here to find her?"
Su Chen said, "I just came to help her out, that's all. After all, her sister is my woman, I can't just ignore her, can I?"
Jianxin nodded. "I see..."
Then, he asked curiously, "Master, how did you meet your mistress?"
Su Chen glanced at Jianxin, "You ask a lot of questions."
"Hey-hey."
Jianxin scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I was just curious, wasn't I?"
Su Chen shook his head slightly, then said, "I will be leaving the Sword Sect in a while."
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Jianxin was taken aback. "Why are you suddenly leaving the Sword Sect?"
Su Chen looked up at the sky, "It's been so long since I've been back, I need to go back and take a look."
Jianxin frowned. "Go back? Go back where?"
Su Chen calmly said, "Go home."
Jianxin froze, then fell silent.
Speaking of going home, he suddenly thought of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "I wonder how the sect leader, elders, and junior brothers and sisters are doing."
Su Chen said, "You can go back and visit when you have time."
Jianxin smiled. "That's what I think too."
Su Chen stopped and looked at Jianxin. "After I leave, you must cultivate diligently, understand?"
Jianxin nodded heavily. "Understood."
Su Chen reached out and patted Jianxin on the shoulder, saying meaningfully, "You and your senior brother don't have much time left. Keep up the good work."
Upon hearing this, Jianxin was stunned, his brows furrowed, and he said solemnly, "Master, what do you mean by that?"
Su Chen said, "In the future, the Immortal Realm will face a great calamity, and apart from you and your senior brother, no one in the entire Immortal Realm can avert it."
A great calamity?
Seeing Su Chen's serious expression, Jianxin realized the gravity of the situation. After a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, "If this great calamity comes, what will happen to the Immortal Realm?"
What will happen?
Su Chen's lips curled into a smile as he shook his head. "If that great calamity truly arrives, all living beings in the Immortal Realm will perish. Not only that, the entire Immortal Realm will be destroyed."
After hearing Su Chen's words, Jianxin's throat bobbed, and his heart raced. "The entire Immortal Realm will be destroyed? Is it really that terrible?"
Su Chen calmly asked, "Do I have any reason to lie to you?"
Jianxin remained silent.
If someone else had said this to him, he definitely wouldn't have believed it.
All living beings will die!
The entire Immortal Realm was destroyed!
What kind of immense tribulation would it take to accomplish that?
Does this calamity truly exist?
To be honest, he was somewhat skeptical.
But this was said by his master himself!
His master would never lie to him!
So, it's true!
Jianxin's face was solemn, then he asked curiously, "What kind of tribulation is this?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "You don't need to know now, and it won't do you any good anyway. What you need to do now is to cultivate diligently and strive to break through to become Immortal Emperor as soon as possible."
Jianxin remained silent for a moment before finally asking, "How long will this tribulation last?"
Su Chen calmly replied, "Less than a thousand years."
Upon hearing this, Jianxin's heart sank.
This calamity will come in less than a thousand years!
He only has a thousand years to break through to the Immortal Emperor!
He broke through to become Immortal Emperor after a thousand years!
How is this even possible?!
It's important to know that becoming Immortal Emperor is no easy feat; it takes at least several million years!
Jianxin was confident he could break through to Immortal Emperor within ten thousand years, but a thousand years...
It's way too short!
It's absolutely impossible!
Therefore, at this moment, Jianxin was under immense pressure, a pressure like a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly asked, "If that calamity comes, will you intervene, Master?"
Su Chen calmly shook his head, "No."
Jianxin asked in a deep voice, "Why?"
Su Chen said, "Only you and your senior brother can resolve this tribulation. I cannot intervene. Of course, if the two of you truly cannot overcome this tribulation, I will naturally step in, but the consequence will be that neither of you will ever surpass me in this lifetime."
Jianxin frowned, his expression grave, and said, "But... in a thousand years, can I really break through to become Immortal Emperor?"
Su Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Have confidence in yourself. I believe you can do it."
Jianxin remained silent.
He's under a lot of pressure right now.
Because he now has two tribulations to overcome.
One was the calamity in the Devil Domain, and the other was the great calamity Su Chen spoke of.
These two setbacks put him under immense pressure!
Especially that great calamity!
If he and Lin Fan hadn't survived that ordeal.
The entire Immortal Realm will be destroyed!
Although Su Chen also said that if the two of them really couldn't get through it, he would step in.
However, Jianxin did not want Su Chen to make a move.
What is his goal?
To become someone like Su Chen, or even surpass Su Chen!
If Su Chen really makes a move then.
Then he will never be able to achieve this goal in his lifetime!
What's the point of living if we can't achieve this goal?
Su Chen suddenly asked, "What? Has your Dao Heart collapsed?"
Jianxin remained silent.
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Jianxin. "If you give up without even trying, your Dao Heart will crumble. Then you are not worthy to be my disciple."
With that, he turned and left.
Without hesitation!
Very decisive.
Standing there, Jianxin clenched his fists, then looked sharply at the departing Su Chen and shouted, "Master! This disciple will do everything in my power to overcome that tribulation!"
Su Chen paused, turned to look at Jianxin, and smiled, "Have you thought it through?"
Jianxin nodded and said, "Yes! Although it will be difficult, I will do my best to cope with that calamity. Master, please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down!"
After he finished speaking, his previously confused eyes suddenly became firm. In that instant, it was as if a raging fire suddenly ignited in his heart, and a fierce fighting spirit, like a surging wave, swept over his entire body!
Su Chen's words had just brought him to his senses.
yes!
If someone gives up and collapses without even trying, they will inevitably be left with endless regrets and a sense of cowardice.
Doubt and cowardice will accompany him throughout his life and will also limit his spiritual practice.
This is why Su Chen said that if he were to make a move, Jianxin would be destined to be unable to surpass him.
How can one go far on the path of spiritual practice if their heart is burdened by inner conflicts?
Su Chen smiled and nodded. "It's good that you've figured it out. Let's go back to the sect."
Purple Spirit Continent.
Snow Clan.
Inside the main hall, the third elder of the Snow Clan seemed to be reporting something to Xue Mo.
At this moment, Xue Mo suddenly stood up, her expression one of shock, and said, "Is this true? Xu Poyun is dead?"
