Heaven and earth fell utterly silent.
The Heavenly Wheel Immortal rose with an exceptionally solemn expression and looked toward the boundless canopy of heaven. "What kind of upheaval could make even you, the Five Elements Dao Ancestor, afraid? I can provide information as well. What would be wrong with following you into the Primordial Chaos River?"
"What spirit!"
Chen Xun praised him, his gaze unfathomably deep. "Heavenly Wheel, the very order of heaven and earth is already undergoing drastic change. If we do not flee now, then when? Do not let yourselves be made sacrificial chess pieces. We Immortals cannot avoid this great tide."
"But as things stand, the Three Thousand Great Worlds are peaceful beyond measure. They have even welcomed an unprecedented great victory."
The Heavenly Wheel Immortal spoke in an unhurried tone. "Mobilizing the strength of the Three Thousand Great Worlds to crusade against Extraterritorial Evil Spirits—such a feat is one I have never witnessed."
"Hehe, better to wait and watch."
Chen Xun's gaze gradually turned beyond the heavens as well. He said with a faint smile, "No matter what upheaval comes, it will eventually reveal itself to the world. It is only that by the time we flee then, it will likely already be too late."
"And what of your juniors and friends? Will you simply leave them be?"
The Heavenly Wheel Immortal suddenly asked. He had heard something of Chen Xun's Dao-sacrificing affair. "If upheaval truly breaks out, those little cultivators will not be able to remain untouched. Or do you intend to bring them all into your sect?"
Chen Xun shook his head. "They have their own immortal paths. Whether they die in this upheaval or ride the wind and rise through it, I hold a measure of expectation."
"What about that boy of yours?"
