Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 962 - 548: Reaction of the Four Great Daoist Authorities
Chapter 962: Chapter 548: Reaction of the Four Great Daoist Authorities
Outside the Solar System, atop a certain planetary belt, there is a large floating continent.
It is covered with lush vegetation and is home to beautiful, majestic palaces, and if you look closely, you can see quite a few human inhabitants.
Some are flying in the clouds and mist, others being pulled by spiritual beasts in carts, shuttling among these palaces.
This is the moving continent forged by the Tai Chu Mountain Gate, one of the Four Great Daoist Authorities.
It is also their prepared "Noah’s Ark," meant to withstand the cosmic disaster.
Suddenly, a hurried bell rang from the main hall at the very center of the continent.
Immediately, the people nearby the main hall, as if hearing some unbelievable news, wore expressions of shock on their faces.
"What’s going on? That’s the Heavenly Mandate Bell, it only rings when an elder is in danger and calling for help!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
"I don’t know, could it be that an elder has ventured into a dangerous place?" another speculated.
Compared to these ordinary sect members wildly guessing, the deacons and stronger figures within the main hall had almost immediately learned what had happened.
The one sending the distress signal was their Grand Elder, Zhang Tiangang, and his task was to harvest resources in the Land of Revival.
"What’s the matter, could it be that something unexpected has occurred in the Land of Revival?" a deacon asked.
"It’s unclear! Maybe the resource distribution was unfair, and there’s been a conflict with people from other sects?" another deacon speculated.
"Impossible, if such a thing really happened, they would definitely send a message back first, and let the Sect Leader and others make the decision," someone immediately denied.
"Alright, stop arguing. The Sect Leader has already reached out to the other sects, and we should get news soon," an elder spoke up at this moment.
Following his words, the crowd of deacons who had been discussing fell silent.
And sure enough, before long, two figures appeared at the head of the great hall.
"We pay our respects to the Sect Leader and the Vice Sect Leader," the people below hurriedly bowed in salutation.
Yansheng, the Vice Sect Leader, spoke first, "The situation is urgent right now, so dispense with the formalities. Let us discuss the matter at hand."
"I have just confirmed with the Infinite Sect, Youluo Sect, and Desolate Ancient Hall. The elders they sent out have also sent distress signals."
"That means the team we jointly sent to the Land of Revival has all run into problems. The hidden danger in the Land of Revival is much greater than we imagined," he continued.
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a look of surprise, clearly something they had not anticipated.
"Could it be the Ancient Ruins?"
"Unlikely, even if there’s a crisis in the Ancient Ruins, it shouldn’t affect the entire Land of Revival."
"I feel it’s more likely to be some unknown catastrophe, as that place is the Land of Revival. According to the sayings from the last Era, anything could happen there," said another.
The group of deacons and elders below were expressing their opinions.
However, although they were discussing, no one could offer a constructive suggestion.
Moreover, the situation was urgent, and there was no time for extended discussion.
So after expressing their opinions, most of the gazes uncontrollably turned toward the two Sect Leaders at the head, waiting for them to take charge.
Tai Yun, the Sect Leader, had been silent from the start, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest.
Noticing everyone’s gaze, he finally spoke up, "The problem with the Land of Revival must be very serious. Let’s do this: I will go there and try to resolve the matter."
As Tai Yun, the Sect Leader, spoke, everyone was taken aback.
An Elder immediately cautioned, "Sect Leader, you must not! Approaching the Land of Revival will surely result in the Heavenly Tribulation locking on to you."
Although within the Tai Chu Mountain Gate, there were other secret treasures capable of shielding against Heaven’s prying eyes, even the most powerful of them could only conceal up to the True God Realm.
Higher Gods were certainly impossible to hide.
"As long as I stay there for no more than a minute, I will only have to endure the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation at most, which would at worst injure me, not kill me."
"When the time comes, I’ll quickly resolve the issue and then return," he said.
"In fact, I’ve already discussed it with the other Three Great Daoist Authorities, and if I go, they will provide resources as compensation, which is enough to make up for the cost of enduring a Heavenly Tribulation once," he explained.
"So, you all must hurry now and help me arrange a Formation to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation," Tai Yun instructed.
The others fell into a slight silence at this point, also understanding that this might indeed be the best plan. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
After all, compared to the other Three Great Daoist Authorities, their Tai Chu Mountain Gate was the only force that boasted two Higher Gods.
Even if the Sect Leader was injured, the Vice Sect Leader could still take charge, but the same could not be said for the other Three Great Daoist Authorities.
"Big brother, take a few more life-saving items with you just in case. If it’s impossible, retreat immediately and we can plan slowly," the Vice Sect Leader Yansheng said in a low voice.
"We can always wait a few more years until we can go to the Land of Revival without suppression," he added.
"Rest assured, I have a clear understanding," Tai Yun nodded.
...
One minute later.
Within the Void Layer, Tai Yun was rapidly advancing.
He mastered two rules of the Space System, one was Space Cutoff and the other was Spatial Traverse.
Spatial Traverse, unlike Spatial Teleportation and Space Shift, could not achieve instant movement.
The primary function of Spatial Traverse was to forcefully cross through various domain-sealing territories, including various Formations and dangerous regions.
It could be said to be a very strong life-saving ability, and this was the reliance that emboldened Tai Yun to venture to the Land of Revival.
Of course, Spatial Traverse could also enter the Void Layer, achieving an effect similar to Teleportation, albeit at a speed dozens of times slower compared to abilities like Spatial Teleportation and Space Shift.
But even so, it was much faster than traveling through normal space.
At least, those without Space System abilities wouldn’t dream of catching up to him.
"Almost there," Tai Yun took out a Compass and glanced at it. A red dot was flickering lightly on it.
That dot represented the position of Zhang Tiangang.
The flickering of the red dot meant the other party had not yet perished.
The next moment, his figure blurred for an instant and then he appeared in the starry space not far from Earth.
As soon as he arrived, he could feel an immense will rapidly locking onto him.
That was the Will of the World!
And after being locked on, a great premonition of danger continuously rose in his heart, indicating the imminent sign of a Heavenly Tribulation.
"Damn it, a True God Level battle must have just erupted here, making the Cosmic Will keep watching this place," Tai Yun’s expression was not very good.
It meant that the time he could stay was even shorter now; the initial estimate of one minute was probably going to have to be cut down to 30 seconds. Otherwise, if a Two Nine Thunder Tribulation came, he definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
