“Then drink more.”

Xiong Wandao poured another cup for himself and Jiang Chengxuan.

The two of them raised their glasses and clinked it.

However, this time, they did not finish it in one gulp. Instead, they each took a small sip.

After converting all the medicinal power of the spiritual wine into True Essence, Xiong Wandao looked at Jiang Chengxuan again and smiled.

“Elder Jiang, although this is only the second time we’ve met, I feel that we hit it off very well.

Therefore, I won’t hide things from you.”

Jiang Chengxuan’s heart skipped a beat. He looked at Xiong Wandao and said,

“Brother Xiong, feel free to tell me.”

Xiong Wandao’s expression turned serious.

“Brother Jiang, for you to reach where you are, you must know very well what’s the most important thing in our cultivation world, right?”

Without waiting for Jiang Chengxuan to answer, Xiong Wandao continued,

“It’s not wealth and money, but life. Only by ensuring your life can you pursue wealth and money.

I know that with the contributions you have made this time, you will definitely receive a lot of contribution points.

With those contribution points, you can exchange for many precious resources from the Shen Immortal family.

However, you have to remember that if, and I’m talking about if, the Shen Immortal family has granted you the right to exchange for some special items, no matter how many contribution points they cost, you have to prioritize on choosing the life-saving items first, understand?

If you miss out on this opportunity, no one knows when you will have the right to exchange them again.

No matter how many spirit stones you have, there is almost no way to buy that kind of thing outside.

Therefore.

Forget it if they didn’t grant you the special right, but once they did, you have to make best use of it. DO NOT MISS OUT ON IT!

Because…”

At this point, Xiong Wandao suddenly took a deep breath and said in a low voice,

“The demon beast riot that happens every 200 years is not far from now. At most, there are only 30 to 40 years left.

At that time, Foundation Establishment cultivators like us will just be cannon fodder.

If we’re not careful, we’ll be turned to ashes by a calamity of that scale.”

“Demon beast riot?”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan’s pupils constricted.

To be honest, he really did not know much about what Xiong Wandao said just now.

The information he could obtain in the past was too limited.

Although he had occasionally heard some news about the demon beasts causing trouble, it was all in bits and pieces and he did not have any clear understanding of it.

Now that he suddenly heard such news, it was only natural for him to be shocked.

As if he had already expected Jiang Chengxuan’s reaction, Xiong Wandao couldn’t help but smile bitterly and say,

“Do you feel a little scared?

To be honest, when I found out about this, my reaction was actually stronger than yours.

This is because a calamity of that scale is really quite dangerous for Foundation Establishment cultivators like us.

The death rate is at least 70 to 80%.

Do you know what kind of strength the Shen Immortal family used to have?”

Without waiting for Jiang Chengxuan to answer, Xiong Wandao continued on.

“As far as I know, in the past, when the Shen Immortal family was at its peak, there were as many as eight or nine people in the Violet Palace Realm.

There were nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators like you and me.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that at that time, the Shen Immortal family already had the foundation and strength of a Golden Core Immortal family. They just needed a Golden Core Daoist as a leader.

It was said that at that time, the head of the Shen family had a chance to advance to the Golden Core realm.

Unfortunately, at that time, the demon beast riot broke out earlier than expected. The main battlefield was in Flat Land County, where we are now.

As the number one cultivation family in Flatland County at that time, the Shen Immortal family was naturally at the front line.

The head of the Shen family died tragically. Three elders of the Shen family, who were at the Violet Palace Realm, were seriously injured and their Dao path was cut off.

The remaining four Violet Palace Realm elders died with six Level 3 demon beasts.

Only the youngest elder who had just advanced to the Violet Palace Realm at that time didn’t die because he stayed behind to protect the base.

Later, not long after the three seriously injured Violet Palace Realm elders returned, they could not be healed and left the world one after another.

And this was only the casualties of the Violet Palace Realm cultivators.

As for Foundation Establishment cultivators like you and me, the casualties were much greater.

I don’t know the exact number, but I know that ever since that time, there have never been more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Shen Immortal family.”

After hearing Xiong Wandao’s words, Jiang Chengxuan felt his heart heavy.

He would never have thought that the demon beast riot would be so terrifying.

If even people who had reached the Violet Palace Realm could not survive, wouldn’t the chances of them, as Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, surviving be even lower?

Instinctively, Jiang Chengxuan began to consider if he should think of a way to leave the Shen Immortal family and Flat Land County now.

However, the demon beast riot would definitely affect the entire cultivation world of the Yun Nation.

Even if he left the Shen Immortal family and Flat Land County, where could he go?

Where would be absolutely safe?

Shaking his head, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but look at Xiong Wandao again and ask,

“Brother Xiong, since the demon beast riot was a matter concerning the fate of the entire cultivation world, did the Ganyang Sect, an upper sect, do anything about it?

At the very least, there had to be relief provisions from them, right?

Otherwise, who would be willing to stand at the frontline of the demon beast riot like the Shen Immortal family in the future?”

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s question, Xiong Wandao nodded.

There was naturally relief provision from them, but it wasn’t a lot.

It was not because the Ganyang Sect was unwilling to give us relief provisions, but because they really could not afford it.

In fact, it was not just the Ganyang Sect. Even the other two sects, the North Cloud Sect and the Starlight Sect, couldn’t provide enough relief provisions.”

“Huh?”

Jiang Chengxuan was really puzzled.

“Why is that?”

Xiong Wandao smiled bitterly again. He looked at Jiang Chengxuan and asked,

“Brother Jiang, do you know how much time has passed since the demon beast riot?”
