This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

The Blessed Enclave arrived in masses without anyone even noticing.

On Longhu Mountain, inside the Celestial Master Path…

Within a Taoist temple, Celestial Master Zhang Fashan sat on the throne high above the others. There was a group of people in Taoist robes below him, all of whom had a strong force on their bodies.

A group of young Taoists, led by a middle-aged Taoist Priest, made a salute towards Zhang Fashan.

“Disciple Zhang Tianle greets uncle!”

The middle-aged Taoist Priest said. Behind him, the young disciples also opened their mouths.

“Disciple greets Ancestor!”

Zhang Fashan smiled and nodded. These were a group of disciples who had entered the Celestial Master Path of their Longhu Mountain in the later years.

Zhang Fashan smiled as he said, “Tianle, hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. Even you are now a master. Your uncle is old!”

These disciples standing before him were not necessarily disciples of the Longhu branch on Earth. Instead, they were from the Blessed Enclave.

In other words, the real inheritance of the Longhu Mountain was still in the Blessed Enclave.

“What do you mean uncle? You may be old, but you are still strong!” Zhang Tianle said.

“Before I came here, Master specifically explained that you had paid a huge price to preserve the heritage of the Longhu Mountain on Earth. The disciples and I are all very grateful for what you did!”

Zhang Tianle looked at the aging Zhang Fashan in front of him. His uncle’s cultivation was worse than his.

His current level of cultivation had already reached the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm, while Uncle Zhang Fashan’s cultivation was only in the eighth tier. People could have considered him to have gotten old now.

Even so, the respect Zhang Tianle had towards his uncle had not diminished at all.

This was because he remembered how his uncle had already stepped into the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm hundreds of years ago. He had been a gifted disciple of the Celestial Master Path.

When Liu Bowen cut off the dragon’s vein later on, the Blessed Enclave and Earth were separated. It was just like how the original gods of the world had been separated from Earth.

Following that night, Zhang Fashan volunteered to stay behind and protect the inheritance of the Longhu Mountain from being destroyed.

On the other hand, everyone else had evacuated into the Blessed Enclave.

After hundreds of years had passed, his uncle faced hardships in the human world while everyone else had remained in the Blessed Enclave without a care in the world.

It was not like those in the Blessed Enclave were unaware of Zhang Fashan’s continuous decline in cultivation. They also knew that he was on the brink of death.

They were separated and the communication between the two sides had not been completely cut off. Even so, messages could still be delivered between both sides through some means.

Zhang Tianle also knew that the people who had stayed on Earth would essentially live until they died of old age.

As a matter of fact, it could have been considered a miracle that Zhang Fashan had been able to make it until now.

This was because those with a cultivation level in the Divine Treasure Realm could only live for 500 years. This was the limit of their lifespan.

Even in the Blessed Enclave, it was very rare to see anyone from the older generation still alive.

If it were Zhang Tianle, he might not have been able to make such a decision. For the sake of the inheritance of the Zhang family’s Celestial Master Path, he might have been unwilling to give up the possibility of developing further.

After all, even the life span would be affected once cultivation declined. Currently, his uncle was nearing the end of multiple life spans. He had performed a heaven-defying technique that had allowed him to live several more lifetimes and survive until now.

However, that kind of heaven-defying technique was entirely dependent on one’s life and luck. Zhang Tianle may not have been able to survive through it even once.

It had been extremely difficult for Zhang Fashan to hold on until now.

Zhang Fashan smiled and said, “You flatter me, nephew! I wouldn’t have been able to hold on until today and see you again if my brother never left me with the technique, power item, and resources to keep me alive!”

The nephew in front of him was one of the proudest disciples of his brother back then. However, he had only just entered the sect at that time. Now he was already among the inner disciples of the sect.

Zhang Fashan was quite pleased by this.

Zhang Tianle said, “This time, we have returned to lay the foundation for a large-scale return of the sects. The world’s environment has now been made suitable for us cultivators once again. This is great news for us! Even so, there are still so many things that we don’t know. I heard that the human government has formed an organization called the Human Alliance. Does that mean it’s completely different from hundreds of years ago?”

Zhang Fashan nodded. He had personally watched the changes in the world over the past hundreds of years. Since the spirit qi had dissipated, humanity’s science and technology had developed by leaps and bounds. Meanwhile, the power of cultivators had been growing weaker. As the science and technology of human beings grew more prominent, they now had a different way to become invincible.

Even now, with the spirit qi of the world being revived again and the environment becoming suitable for cultivators, the situation was still completely different from what it had been back then.

With that, the Human Alliance could compete with them.

“Yes, nephew. Over the past few centuries, the development on Earth has surpassed what the world was like thousands of years ago. Everything is completely different from back then. Human governments already have weapons that can threaten us. They call that a hot weapon, as opposed to the cold weapons in the past!”

Zhang Fashan briefly introduced the development of human weapons to Zhang Tianle and the others.

However, Zhang Tianle and the others were still a little confused. This was beyond their understanding.

Even if someone was to personally come and explain it to them, they still would’ve had difficulty understanding what a missile or a nuclear bomb was.

However, they had all understood at least one thing: the human governments had the ability to destroy them, albeit not very easily.

To have achieved this from scratch and making breakthroughs from nothing, however, meant that Zhang Tianle and the others could not do as they pleased here.

“Aside from this, I have also heard of a man named Lu Xuan. Do you know where this man comes from?” Zhang Tianle said. He remembered the information that had shocked the entire Blessed Enclave before they arrived.

Several elites from the Blessed Enclave were either captured or killed.

Although they were all elites and geniuses who were close to the Taichu Path, it had still shocked the entire Blessed Enclave.

They never expected the human world to have such a terrifying expert who could injure them this much.

The person who had done all this was related to a man named Lu Xuan, in a place called Yunxuan Villa.

“You guys know about him?” Zhang Fashan frowned, as his expression changed. He thought of how, one month ago, Lu Xuan had killed and injured so many elites. Even if the Blessed Enclave were slow to respond, the news would have still spread everywhere within the Blessed Enclave.

Therefore, it was no surprise that his nephew knew something about this.

Zhang Tianle said, “Yes, it seems that the uncle knows him. Can I ask who this Lu Xuan is?”

He looked at Zhang Fashan, who wore a serious expression on his face. He was hesitant to speak.
