Inside the bamboo forest, Su Chen, lying on a rocking chair, seemed to sense something, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong?" Qin Zixuan asked curiously from the side.
"It's nothing." Su Chen withdrew his gaze, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.
"Really?" Qin Zixuan frowned, her eyes filled with suspicion, but since Su Chen was unwilling to elaborate, she didn't ask any further questions.
In the time that followed, Lin Fan, Jianxin, and the others all chose to go into seclusion, preparing to break through to the Immortal Emperor. This was a long process, likely requiring several years, or even longer. The question was whether the powerful figures of the God Realm would grant them that time.
Ye Lingxi rallied the forces of the entire Canglan Star and convened a grand meeting to prepare for the great calamity to come. The first point of the meeting was that the forces of Canglan Star could no longer engage in infighting and internal strife, but needed to unite as one. Thus, the Cang Alliance was born!
This is a force built by all the forces on Canglan Star. Ye Lingxi became the leader of the Cang Alliance, responsible for managing the entire Cang Alliance. It is worth mentioning that no living being or force has any objection to this, simply because Ye Lingxi truly has the ability to serve as the leader!
The original purpose of creating the Cang Alliance was to be able to discuss countermeasures more quickly when the great calamity came. Without the Cang Alliance, the power of Canglan Star would become a disorganized mess, and if that were the case, Canglan Star would only perish even faster. Therefore, the Cang Alliance was essential.
Secondly, some have suggested that all major powers should distribute Cultivation Resources from their treasuries in order to enhance the overall strength of the beings on Canglan Star. Only with increased overall strength can they have a better chance of winning in the great calamity to come.
However, as soon as this plan was proposed, many forces rejected it. The reason, of course, was that they were unwilling to give away their hard-earned resources for free.
But Ye Lingxi's words changed their minds. Ye Lingxi said, "I know why you refused, but have you considered what would have become of Canglan Star if we hadn't withstood that great calamity? It would have been a living hell, a place of utter devastation. And who would benefit from the resources you left behind?"
Upon hearing this, although many forces were still reluctant, they ultimately had to grit their teeth and distribute the treasure trove resources free of charge. Ye Lingxi had enlightened them, and they would rather these resources be used by the beings of Canglan Star than benefit those powerful beings from the God Realm.
From then on, all living beings on Canglan Star fell into an era of frenzied cultivation. No one dared to slack off. With the resources provided by powerful forces, their cultivation speed was extremely fast. In just two years, most living beings had almost crossed several major realms. Immortal Venerable, Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Emperor, and even Transcendence were born in many places!
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. In this year, Ye Ningshuang successfully broke through to the Immortal Emperor. In the following six months, Youyue, Bai Luo Xue, Shen Chuzhao, Yun Youyou, Hu Youxi, and some other Genius Battle and prodigies all broke through to the Immortal Emperor!
After breaking through to the Immortal Emperor, they did not slack off. Instead, they worked even harder to cultivate and improve their strength, because they knew that being merely Immortal Emperor was far from enough to face that great calamity; they needed to become even stronger!
Although breaking through to Transcendence is impossible, it would be best to become as strong as possible before the great calamity arrives.
As for Lin Fan and Jianxin, there has been no news of them since they went into seclusion, as if they had disappeared.
During these years, the Cang Alliance has not been idle. Ye Lingxi summoned all the array masters, big and small, from the entire Canglan Star to prepare to build a large array for Canglan Star!
The grand formation is called the Thousand Emperor Grand Formation!
This formation was created by thousands of Immortal Emperor combining their own power with array flags. They can use their power to summon phantoms of God King to fight, and even have other functions, such as creating heaven and earth, and combining offense and defense. It can be described as quite powerful.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the seal on Canglan Star was completely dispelled, and the coordinates of Canglan Star were instantly exposed to the God Realm!
The God Realm surged, unleashing a devastating aura, as if billions of planets were exploding simultaneously, tearing through space and time at speeds exceeding light, and surging forth.
All the creatures on Canglan Star seemed to sense something, and they all looked up, their faces filled with trepidation and fear.
"They're here!" Ye Lingxi said in a deep voice.
Behind her stood all the powerful figures of Canglan Star, including Immortal Emperor and Transcendence Realm experts. At this moment, their hearts were heavy, for they sensed that the aura of those surging God Realm experts was extremely terrifying!
Can we really stop them?
At that moment, many living beings wavered in their resolve, filled with immense fear.
In the bamboo forest, Su Chen looked up, his eyes gleaming, lost in thought.
"They've arrived," Qin Zixuan said in a low voice.
"Hmm." Su Chen nodded, then looked at Qin Zixuan with a hesitant expression.
"What's wrong?" Qin Zixuan was taken aback, because this was the first time she had seen Su Chen with such an expression, so she asked.
After a brief hesitation, Su Chen finally told Qin Zixuan about his plan.
"You..." Qin Zixuan covered her mouth after hearing this, her eyes widened, and she remained silent for a long time.
"Please keep this a secret, okay?" Su Chen reached out and slowly pulled Qin Zixuan into his arms, lowering his head as he spoke softly.
"Mmm! Thank you for telling me." Qin Zixuan nestled quietly in Su Chen's arms, her eyes filled with happiness and a deep sense of reluctance.
"I didn't want to tell you at first, but when I thought about how sad you would be if I did that and didn't tell you, I finally decided to tell you." Su Chen gently stroked Qin Zixuan's hair, his eyes full of tenderness.
In the past, Su Chen had always been indifferent and aloof when it came to matters of the heart. On the night he met Qin Zixuan, although they had already done that, his heart, which was shrouded in frost, remained unmoved by love.
It wasn't until Su Chen brought Qin Zixuan from the Guanghan Palace to his side that his cold heart gradually melted over the years they spent together. Every smile and frown of Qin Zixuan inadvertently touched his heartstrings.
Perhaps even Su Chen himself didn't realize that Qin Zixuan had already taken root and sprouted in his heart, becoming the most cherished person in his life.
Qin Zixuan looked up and was met with Su Chen's deep and captivating eyes, followed by his picturesque features. She tilted her head slightly and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Thank you."
As she finished speaking, she tiptoed and gently kissed Su Chen's lips. In that instant, time seemed to stand still, and Qin Zixuan's eyes were filled with tenderness, like a gentle pool of water.
Su Chen smiled indulgently, pulling Qin Zixuan tightly into his arms and responding gently...
