The woman was a Shang Ye Pavilion disciple who had never been seen before. There were a total of three people who came along, and she was the only one who attended the meeting. Her name was Lu Yun.
When she signed up, she glared fiercely at the young monk on the other side. However, the young monk pretended not to see her and turned his face to the side.
The last person was the handsome man who coughed from time to time. He had no name, only a name, and his name was Sick Scholar. This title was very suitable for him, but the most shocking thing was the power behind him.

In the Demon Area, and even in the entire cultivation world, it could be called the most mysterious sect.
What was the big deal this time? Not only were there underworld clans that rarely visited the outside world, they even participated in the Misty Lock Tower that hadn't been seen in ten thousand years.
"I believe everyone is curious as to why this old man invited the other two powers so seriously. It's only because the matter that's being discussed concerns the safety of the entire cultivation world. "
After the introductions were finished, Xuanji slowly explained what he wanted to discuss this time.
The cause of this event was 20 years ago. On a stormy night, the Sect Leader of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, Tian Ji Zi, suddenly felt a burst of annoyance and was curious about this matter.
This calculation was a great omen of evil. Moreover, the divination was very vague and happened three times in a row. This frightened him so much that he hurriedly ended his closed door training and gathered a group of elders to work out his calculations.
After three long years and gathering the power of the entire sect, regardless of whether it was day or night, and using all of his effort to deduce, Tian Ji Zi finally came up with a clear divination.
This short sentence cast a shadow over the hearts of the disciples of Heavencraft Pavilion. Heavencraft Zi felt as if he had been struck by lightning. As the head of the sect, he grasped some information that had already become extinct in ancient times.
Amongst them was the mystery behind the disappearance of the immortal back then, as well as the mention of the blood-colored Heavenly Stele.
According to the legends, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had existed since the Primordial Era. It was said that the founder of the sect was one of the Heavenly Dao Saints, Fu Xi.
Fu Xi didn't like fighting, but he had a deep understanding of the five elements, the eight trigrams, and the nine palaces' number. Not only could he avoid danger, he could even deduce the Heavenly Daos.
There weren't many records regarding the Ancestral Founder in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. In the end, it only mentioned one thing: In the pre-Primordial Era, Ancestor Fu Xi predicted the appearance of the blood-colored Heavenly Stele.
In that ancient era, there were many truly strong experts. Even the heaven-defying seniors were unable to stop the arrival of the great destruction, let alone the current cultivation world.
What's left now? Even the immortals disappeared during the ancient times. The kings of the three clans had gone multiple times, but the strongest was only close to the Immortal Ascension Realm.
If one were to ask, even if the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had considered the matter of the Heavenly Secrets, how could they possibly have the ability to stop it?
Since countless years ago, the era of great destruction had occurred several times. Even the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets did not know of this, as the words left behind by Saint Forgotten had always been left behind by his descendants.
With the help of the saints, he reversed space and time, using his primordial spirit to return to the pre-archaic era. He hoped that he could find a method to deal with the arrival of the great apocalypse that had occurred countless years ago.
Travelling through time and space had disrupted the balance of the Heavenly Dao. Although he hadn't found a way to solve the problem, he had still managed to figure out where the Great Destruction came from.
This made him understand that the only thing that could prevent a great calamity from happening was to prevent it from coming.
Unfortunately, the cost of reversing time and space not only made him overdraft all of his life essence, it also disturbed the space-time order, causing the era of great destruction to come earlier. By the time his primordial spirit returned to the Primordial World, that world was already on the verge of collapse.
Saints could not be destroyed, but in the face of great destruction, they fell one after another. They were as powerful as a rising sun, and they could only helplessly watch as all the creatures in the world silently disappeared.
The destruction of an era could no longer be stopped. The legacy left behind in the bloodline by the last Primordial Spirit was not a powerful battle skill, nor was it a heaven-defying inheritance. Instead, it was knowledge, the only way to avoid the destruction.
The immortal soul roamed the pre-Primordial Era, and the Saint Fauchee had discovered a total of two times the era of great destruction. The experts of those two eras were a hundred times stronger than so-called saints like them, yet those experts still perished, because they did not find the true meaning of great destruction.
He realized that every time the Age of Destruction came, disaster would arise out of one's own world.
Every time the great destruction occurred, some creatures that did not belong to their world would appear within the three realms. These creatures might look similar to certain races within their world, but their strength was greatly different.
Perhaps the Great Destruction came from the Outer World, but the opportunity to receive the Great Destruction was definitely within his own world.
The only way to prevent the destruction was to find this opportunity and destroy it!
Ever since he deduced the great destruction twenty years ago, Tian Ji Zi realized that this was a serious matter and contacted the leaders of the three strongest families to help him evolve.
It had taken up countless vein crystals, and he hadn't even hesitated to burn the lives of his disciples. Finally, three years ago, Tian Ji had found the place where that sliver of opportunity was going to appear.
Although they knew the location, they couldn't figure out when it would appear. They didn't even know what the timing was. Heavencraft Zi's power was limited, and many things couldn't be seen through like those ancestor masters.
Moreover, even the location was extremely vague, with only a general idea of the location. The experts of the Heavenly Mystery Realm and the three clans expended an enormous amount of energy to finally narrow the area down and find a specific location.
It was a pity that a powerful barrier seemed to have been placed over that place. No cultivator beyond the ninth heaven of the Dao would be able to enter that place.
Heavencraft Zi was good at divining stars, but he didn't know a single thing about formations. He had also tried to forcefully break formations, but all he got in return was a body full of serious injuries.
That barrier was very strange. It could reflect an attack multiple times back to the attacker. If one used all of their strength, they would be able to give you twenty points in return. The kings of the three clans had suffered a great loss because of this.
As he spoke to here, Tian Xuanzi surveyed the crowd and slowly said, "Our sect has discussed with the kings of the three clans. The only way to prevent the destruction of the sect is to enter the barrier and destroy that opportunity."
The representatives of the three clans and the girls from the two hidden sects all had a calm face, as if they had already known about this beforehand. Could it be that we need to gather a large number of experts to break through the formation? "
"No, we've already tried it before. Even kings of various clans would retreat with injuries. It's not advisable to forcefully break through the formation." Tian Xuanzi continued, "Since the barrier cannot be broken, then we can only find outstanding disciples of the Dao Realm from the various sects to complete this mission."
This...
The elders of the various sects suddenly hesitated. This was no different from asking the disciples of the sect to send themselves to their deaths. How could an opportunity that could cause great destruction be so easy to destroy?
Moreover, they knew nothing about the so-called great destruction. Even after hearing Tian Xuanzi's explanation, they were still skeptical about it.
If it weren't for the fact that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had absolute authority over the calculation of the Heavenly Secrets, and that these three clans were all alarmed, the elders of these sects would have immediately flicked their sleeves and left.
Seeing his expression, Tian Xuan Zi secretly sighed in his heart and said with a calm voice, "Everyone, this old man knows that those who carry out this mission will most likely die, but if we do not go all out, then the entire cultivation world will no longer exist."
Would the destruction really come?
Many people suspected this, but no one asked. This was equal to questioning the abilities of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. After all, this was a heaven's will that had been created after decades of hard work and effort, united together with the kings of the three clans.
Seeing these elders hesitating, Xuanji and Mao Shan looked at each other. They were too forced to choose among themselves.
For a moment, the entire hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. On the other hand, the buddhist disciple that didn't seem very patient, stared at the group of elders, and angrily scolded: "F * ck, what's there to think about? Whether you go or not, isn't it just a disciple? "
Was it easy to cultivate a disciple? Besides, he was the head of the martial school. For example, which one of them didn't spend a lot of manpower and resources to participate in this year's Hidden Dragon Battle? This was the hope of the future of the sect. It could even be said to be the future leader of the sect.
Now that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets wanted them to hand over their disciples for a mission that seemed like they would die for sure, which sect would be willing to part with that?
