A Broken Pot Doesn't Have to Shake Itself to Make a Racket; It Can Smash Itself Too

Misty Clear Realm.

The Withering and Flourishing Sect.

Du Sheng's residence.

"Senior, the people from the Canglan Lower Realm have already entered the Five Continents Lower Realm. Are you really not going to care at all?"

In response to the visitor's inquiry.

Du Sheng's eyelids drooped slightly.

"The outcome is predetermined, so why waste your energy on it?"

After saying that, Du Sheng waved his hand:

"Do not mention this matter to me again."

Upon hearing this, the visitor sighed softly:

"But senior, if the Five Continents Lower Realm are destroyed again, you will have nowhere left to manage."

The number of production areas determines the base amount of development resources obtained, while the quality of the products produced by the production areas determines the amount of cultivation resources. However, if there are no production areas, the starting point is zero, and there is no way to obtain them later.

Du Sheng remained silent.

The visitor said nothing more and got up to leave.

As soon as I turned around, I heard Du Sheng's voice coming from behind me.

"Over the years, I've come to realize one thing."

"Sometimes, if you want to make a sound, you don't need to try to shake it; just letting it break will do the trick."

The person stopped in their tracks, their eyes showing a mixture of sympathy and helplessness.

"Senior, the problem is actually with the place of origin; it's not your fault."

"Let's not discuss this."

Du Sheng:

"After the matter in the Five Continents Lower Realm has been completely resolved, you will go there personally. With this item, find someone. If they are still alive, give them this pill and quietly send them to the Azure Billows Continent."

As soon as the voice faded, two objects appeared in front of the newcomer.

The visitor was puzzled:

"The interdimensional war, combined with the Longevity Battlefield, will likely evolve into a cataclysmic disaster. If you care about this person, why not take advantage of the situation before it all begins..."

Before he could finish speaking, Du Sheng interrupted him:

"I don't care about this person, so don't speak nonsense."

"As for why not now, the time is not right. Only through the trials and tribulations of life can the true strength of something be proven."

As if remembering something, Du Sheng gave a word of advice:

"If you find them later, do not talk to them much, and do not show any goodwill."

"Go."

After the visitor left, Du Sheng gently shook his head:

"Gold-Wrapped Shit, I'll put an extra layer of gold on it. If you don't notice, wait until this shit explodes, and it'll be smeared all over your face."

The Five Continents Domain.

The location of the Xiang Clan.

"This is quite a commotion. Do you think it might be aimed at the Xiang Clan?"

"It's hard to say, but I feel it's very likely. Otherwise, the Xiang Clan wouldn't have offered such benefits before, allowing us to defend the Xiang Clan together while they were away."

"Then aren't we just being taken advantage of? This is quite a commotion; if things really get out of hand, with our strength, I'm afraid..."

"Shall we leave?"

"Leave?" someone sneered.

"If the enemy's strength is limited, and the main force of the Xiang Clan returns in time, and we take the benefits without contributing anything after the matter is over, do you think the Xiang Clan will let you off the hook?"

On the outskirts of the Xiang Clan, powerful figures from various factions exchanged concerns.

Within the Xiang Clan, however, the situation was even more worrisome.

The Xiang Clan had known for a long time that the Canglan Domain was poised to make its move.

Therefore, from the very beginning, we attached great importance to this issue.

At this moment, the scene and information of the place where the powerful figures from the Azure Billows Continent had entered had been transmitted back using the fastest means.

The scale and scale of the event far exceeded their expectations.

It could even be said that there was a spectacular scene of everyone coming out in droves.

Aside from the general information about their strength, there was some other information that the remaining powerful members of the Xiang Clan disagreed with.

Some powerful figures from the Azure Billows Continent even called the Xiang Clan insidious and despicable.

It seems the Xiang Clan didn't do anything, did they?

What's even more infuriating is that they actually want to target the Xiang Clan first?

While it's true that tall trees catch the wind, the actions of these powerful figures from the Azure Billows Continent are truly utterly unreasonable!

Has the old patriarch been notified?

"The notification has been given, but as the old patriarch predicted, those within the region will likely find it difficult to know about events and news within the Five Continents Domain."

"Although not all the powerful figures from the Azure Billows Continent have come, even if it's only a portion, the top experts at the forefront will put immense pressure on our Xiang Clan, given our current strength, if we were to confront them head-on."

Many people present nodded in agreement.

Leaving aside other realms, the presence or absence of the Saint Emperor Realm experts alone constitutes two completely different situations.

"I wonder how the old patriarch and the others are progressing with their exploration. While our Xiang Clan's protective formation can certainly offer some resistance, it will likely only be effective temporarily."

"It should be soon. The old patriarch has been gone for over a day, and being Saint Emperor Realm, he must be almost done, but..."

Then, his tone shifted. "Even if it's quick, we still need to consider how to deal with it once the formation breaks. Although the old patriarch left behind some methods and arrangements before he left, there are still too many powerful figures coming."

"Can..."

Someone nearby sighed softly:

"What other methods do we have? So many powerful figures from the Azure Billows Continent want to concentrate their attacks on our Xiang Clan; the disparity in strength is still too great."

Silence fell over the room upon hearing this.

The Xiang Clan, a power standing at the pinnacle of the Five Continents Domain, never imagined that one day they would feel so powerless.

"Yes, what else can we possibly use..." someone sighed.

The words had barely left his mouth.

At this moment.

Suddenly a sound came from outside:

"Future generations, a great battle is imminent; our Xiang Clan must fight with all our might."

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their gaze outwards.

At the same time, the hall doors slowly opened.

An extremely withered and emaciated figure appeared outside the hall.

Upon seeing this figure, all the powerful members of the Xiang Clan present were taken aback.

There was a vague feeling that the figure wasn't too old, but rather looked like it had been dead for countless years.

Furthermore, the voice that spoke just now seemed rather young in comparison.

At that moment, the figure floated into the hall.

At the same time, the voice rang out again:

"I am Xiang Tianlai."

Upon hearing this name, most people were dumbfounded, while a small minority were filled with disbelief and shock.

"What?! You weren't already...?"

Upon hearing this, many people recalled what had happened at the cemetery earlier, and their faces showed some doubt.

Before they could form any further thoughts, Xiang Tianlai's voice interrupted them:

"Descendants, a great danger is imminent, and you must be worried. But today, I will tell you the greatest secret of my Xiang Clan."

"Our Xiang Clan has survived in the Five Continents Domain for so long, and has risen to the pinnacle of all forces. Think about it, is it really just due to luck?"

Upon hearing this, no one spoke, but most people already knew the answer in their hearts.

How could it be possible to rely solely on luck?

Then, the sound continued:

"Of course not. The truth is, back when our Xiang Clan was developing, our ancestors laid out a plan called 'Backup Hidden Energy'."

"The Backup Hidden Energy, as the name suggests, is meant to guard against future troubles and threats. As for its hidden nature, it goes without saying that the fact that you only learned about it today is enough to show that this plan has been executed very well over the years."

"And this Backup Hidden Energy is located within the cemetery. You may think it's just a place to mourn our departed ancestors, but you don't know that the ancestors have always been there. Death is merely an excuse for them to secretly protect the growth of our Xiang Clan."

"But now, a perilous battle Descent. A tall tree catches the wind, and our Xiang Clan will inevitably bear the brunt. The slightest misstep could jeopardize our future. Therefore, today is the time for our Xiang Clan 'Backup Hidden Energy to be activated, and for our ancestors to be awakened from their slumber!"
