Within Three Days, Great Calamity!

Inside a quiet room.

An eerie and somber atmosphere permeated the air.

Qi Yun a hand Method Formula, his fingertips shimmering with faint, almost imperceptible, crimson light.

His eyes were veiled with a faint bloodshot light.

The scenery before my eyes began to blur and distort; the world seemed to have lost its vibrant colors, leaving only a black, white, and gray base.

On that dark background, some extremely blurry, constantly distorted and changing lines and color blocks began to emerge.

These outlines seem to represent the the Unseen connections of cause and effect, and omens of good and bad fortune.

However, the scene was too hazy, as if veiled by a thick, ever-flowing, murky fog.

"These are... the secrets of heaven and the cause and effect?" Gazing at the strange world before him, Qi Yun tried to concentrate and deduce his fortune for the next three days.

As his thoughts focused, the blurry lines and blocks of color began to converge on him, barely outlining a rough, constantly shifting silhouette.

It was a chaotic mass, with rough edges and an inextricably tangled interior.

It was impossible to decipher any useful information.

Just as he was trying to channel more True Qi to forcibly "smooth out" the blurry heavenly secrets and see them more clearly...

"Hiss--!"

A sudden, tearing pain shot through my right arm.

Qi Yun grunted, frowned, and rolled up his right sleeve.

On his once perfectly intact forearm, several deep, gruesome gashes, revealing bone and with flesh torn open, had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Fresh blood was gushing out, instantly staining the sleeves red.

The next second!

A surge of mysterious power descended, and the previously blurry, tangled mess of celestial secrets gradually became clear and orderly.

The edges of the image are still somewhat blurry, but the core content has been revealed.

[Within three days, a great disaster will come!]

"What?"

Looking at his own deduced fortune in disbelief, Qi Yun frowned deeply.

A big disaster will happen within three days?

I never imagined that a casual attempt would lead to such a terrible omen.

"Could it be a miscalculation?"

After staring at the divination result for a long time, Qi Yun changed his Method Formula, and his figure suddenly exploded into countless streams of energy, becoming invisible and formless.

In this state, wisps of shimmering blue light emerged from the the Unseen and clung to the wound on his arm.

Hemostasis, granulation tissue movement, healing... the powerful regenerative force begins to take effect.

In about half an hour, the cuts on Qi Yun's arm caused by using the "Blood-Guided Profound Mysteries" technique were completely healed.

After slightly flexing his wrists, Qi Yun once again performed the demonic divination Hand Seals by forming hand seals.

The same scene reappeared.

As crimson blood dripped down his wrist, a familiar line of celestial destiny reappeared before him.

[Great misfortune will befall us within three days!]

Gazing at the almost identical fortunes, Qi Yun pursed his thin lips and narrowed his eyes.

It's possible there was a calculation error.

But it's quite unlikely that they would make the exact same mistake twice.

He flicked his sleeve to disperse the eerie blood mist and thick fog swirling before him, looked around the Holy Sect's meditation room—a place that should have been absolutely safe—rubbed his temples in confusion, and quickly began to ponder.

In terms of environment, I am currently within the Holy Sect, where sect rules are strict and private fights are strictly prohibited. Even if a Foundation Establishment True Person dislikes me, they would never dare to openly kill a leader from the Outer Mansion.

In terms of cultivation, I am the leader of the Outer Mansion, with the Qi Refining Fifth Layer Perfection. Even if Yue Rong were to return, I would still be able to suppress him.

"There are no obvious crises, either internal or external... so where exactly could this ominous sign, appearing out of nowhere, be located?"

What kind of calamity could possibly have brought me to such a crisis?" After racking his brains and going through all the possibilities, Qi Yun was still clueless.

I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Qi Yun's eyes flickered, and blood-red light swirled around his fingertips as he attempted to use the "Blood-Guided Profound Mysteries" technique once more to deduce the specific details of this ominous event.

But this thought had only just arisen in his mind.

Every inch of my skin and every muscle tensed instantly, sending out a series of sharp, needle-like pains as a warning!

It felt as if countless invisible, cold, and sharp blades were already pressed tightly against his skin.

As long as he makes a Method Formula seal.

These weapons would fall all at once, Death by a Thousand Cuts killing him, tearing him to pieces.

It's exceeded the calculated limits!

Realizing that what he wanted to deduce was clearly beyond his ability, and that forcing the deduction would inevitably result in a backlash from the heavens, Qi Yun frowned and released the Method Formula.

"What exactly happened...?"

In the blink of an eye, the three-day deadline had arrived.

Qi Yun sat upright in his courtyard, with several simple yet practical protective formations set up in front of and behind him.

His face was extremely solemn, and he would occasionally look up at the Great Sun high in the sky, his whole body tense.

Like a fully drawn bow, ready to respond to any unexpected situation.

"In another fifteen minutes, it will be a full three days."

I want to see just what kind of terrible calamity could befall me.

"I can't just be struck dead by lightning..."

Crack! Boom!

Before Qi Yun could finish his thought, an indescribable, earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted without warning.

Even the Great Void Mirror Heaven, where the nine Outer Mansion are located, was shaken, trembling and shaking, as if it were about to be overturned.

"Holy crap, are they serious?"

His expression was one of great alarm. Almost at the same moment the explosion occurred, Qi Yun frantically urged his thoughts forward.

The massive amount of Sunken Abyss Iron Sand that had been lying in ambush around the courtyard swept in like a black tide.

Layer upon layer, in the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped him.

A thick, heavy, jet-black cocoon, shimmering with a metallic glow, formed, protecting him completely!

At the same time, three white bone skulls automatically flew up from his waist and hovered above the large cocoon.

Within the empty eye sockets, a ghastly green soul flame flickered wildly, emitting eerie fluctuations.

The ability to [Death Substitution] is already poised to be unleashed.

This is his biggest trump card in dealing with disaster.

However, Qi Yun held his breath and waited nervously for quite a while, fully armed.

The anticipated terrorist attack did not occur.

Aside from the initial terrifying roar that nearly shattered one's Divine Soul and the violent earthquake, there seemed to be... no further developments?

The next second.

On the front of the pitch-black cocoon, a very fine crack silently appeared.

A pair of eyes, filled with vigilance, curiosity, and scrutiny, cautiously peered through the crack at the outside.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yun's gaze suddenly sharpened.

The heavy iron sand that tightly enveloped him quickly dispersed and fell back into the ground.

In the distance, on the horizon, instead of the expected tribulation of lightning or enemy, there was...

"That's... a peach tree?"
