After Shen Xiao left, Qin Zixuan came out of the bamboo house. She had heard their conversation very clearly.
"What was that great calamity?" Qin Zixuan asked curiously.
Su Chen reached out and pulled Qin Zixuan into his arms, then briefly recounted the details of the great calamity.
"That's terrifying!" Qin Zixuan's expression changed slightly after hearing what Su Chen said, then she hesitated and said, " Lin Fan is so young, isn't it a bit inappropriate to let him face this alone?"
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do, this is his responsibility," Su Chen sighed.
"Alright, I respect your decision." Qin Zixuan didn't say anything more and lay quietly on Su Chen's chest.
She believed that Su Chen wouldn't let Lin Fan do something he wasn't sure of. Su Chen must have his reasons for doing so, and she just needed to trust him.
God Clan.
"Are you telling the truth? You really found him?" Shen You, the ancestor of the God Clan, asked excitedly.
"Well, but..." Shen Xiao said heavily.
"But what?" Shen You frowned.
Shen Xiao told Shen You about Su Chen's situation.
"How could such a person appear on this Canglan Star?" Shen You asked solemnly after hearing this.
"That's what puzzles me too." Shen Xiao shook his head and looked at Shen You, saying, "So, what do you think we should do?"
"I don't know either, but we can ask the clan chief and see if he has any good ideas," Shen You said after thinking for a moment.
"Alright." Shen Xiao nodded and disappeared from the spot with Shen You. When they reappeared, they were already in a magnificent hall.
In the center of the palace stood a stone platform, upon which rested a crystal, clear and transparent, without any impurities.
Shen Xiao raised his right hand and placed it on the crystal. With a thought, strands of Divine Power flowed into the crystal.
boom!
In an instant, the crystal burst forth with a dazzling golden light, like a blazing sun, magnificent yet blinding. A powerful energy surge rippled outwards, distorting the very space around it.
Just then, a figure slowly condensed within the light. The figure was surrounded by golden light, obscuring its face, and exuded an unparalleled and powerful aura, its terrifying power shaking heaven and earth.
"Greetings, Clan Chief!" Shen You and Shen Xiao bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with awe, daring not to show the slightest disrespect.
"Speak, what is it?" the illusory figure said calmly.
"We've found the person!" Shen Xiao said.
"Huh? Really?" The previously calm expression on the phantom's face was now clearly disturbed.
"Really, but we've encountered a problem," Shen Xiao said.
"What?" the phantom asked.
Shen Xiao briefly recounted what had happened.
Upon hearing this, the illusory figure's eyes flashed with surprise. After a brief moment of thought, he said, "This person probably knew that Lin Fan was no ordinary person, which is why he took him as his disciple."
"What should we do?" Shen You asked.
"You will face that great calamity together with that little fellow," the phantom said calmly.
Upon hearing this, both Shen Xiao and Shen You were taken aback.
"If he can't even withstand this, how can he lead our Divine Clan to rise again? You assist him, face this together, and once this is over, bring him back to the Divine Clan." After saying this, the illusory figure gradually dissipated and disappeared from the hall.
"I never expected the clan leader to make such a choice," Shen You said.
"The great calamity is approaching. We must hurry and break through to the Transcendence Realm. Only then can we help that little guy," Shen Xiao said solemnly.
"Currently, fifteen members of our clan have broken through to the Transcendence Realm, while we haven't yet. We need to hurry," Shen You said.
"So many clansmen have already broken through?" Shen Xiao was taken aback.
"Well, after all, those guys had been stuck at the Peak Immortal Emperor for too long, so they broke through without much effort," Shen You said.
"That's enough chatting, I'm going to break through now." Shen Xiao turned and disappeared.
"That old fellow." Shen You shook his head and smiled, then his expression turned serious. "Hopefully, that great calamity will come later."
Yingtian Academy.
"You seem quite relaxed," Xue Ya said helplessly as she looked at Su Chen in the rocking chair in the bamboo grove.
" Vice Dean Xue, please have a seat." Qin Zixuan smiled and gestured for him to sit down.
Xue Ya glanced at Qin Zixuan, nodded slightly, and then sat down on the stone chair.
Qin Zixuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xue Ya.
"Thank you," Xue Ya said with a smile.
"It's nothing." Qin Zixuan shook her head.
Su Chen, sitting in the rocking chair, looked at Xue Ya and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
"Of course I have something to tell you," Xue Ya said.
"Oh? What is it that made Vice Dean Xue come personally?" Su Chen said.
"You must know that there have been numerous incidents involving reclusive forces in recent years, right?" Xue Ya said.
"I've heard of it, what's wrong?" Su Chen nodded.
"Among these hidden forces, the strongest are the World-Suppressing Sacred Cult, the War God Hall, and the Heaven-Commanding Imperial Court. These three forces are extremely domineering and have been constantly recruiting other forces into their vassal states in recent years. Now, their people have come to our academy, demanding that we obediently become their vassal states as well. If we don't comply, they will destroy us." After Xue Ya finished speaking, she picked up her teacup and took a small sip.
"Then let them come," Su Chen said calmly, seemingly unconcerned.
"I knew you'd say that," Xue Ya said with a smile.
" Canglan Star is currently in a period of turmoil. If those three forces dare to cause trouble, I wouldn't mind making an example of them," Su Chen said calmly.
"Impressive," Xue Ya praised.
She didn't think Su Chen Su Chen was bragging, because she knew he had the ability to do it.
"If they dare to send anyone else, just kill them," Su Chen said indifferently.
"He's already killed," Xue Ya said with a smile.
Su Chen was taken aback, then gave a thumbs up, "Amazing!"
"Haha, no matter how good you are, you're still better than me," Xue Ya said.
"How many people in our academy have broken through to the Transcendence Realm?" Su Chen suddenly asked.
"The three are Vice Dean Xiao, Vice Dean Liu, and Vice Dean Shen," Xue Ya replied.
"And what about you? When will you be able to break through?" Su Chen asked.
"I only recently broke through to the Peak Immortal Emperor. It will probably take me a long time to break through to the Transcendence Realm," Xue Ya said.
"Since you've been helping me manage the academy, I'll help you break through to the next level in a while," Su Chen said with a smile.
"Really!" Upon hearing this, Xue Ya immediately lost her composure, stood up abruptly, and looked at Su Chen with excitement.
"When have I ever lied to anyone?" Su Chen said with a smile.
"Okay!" Xue Ya smiled, without doubting Su Chen's words at all.
