Chapter 152 Change in Quest
" However, the peace and prosperity lasted till the calamity appeared." Hao Tianci sighed as he looked at the sky.
" I guess it was during the appearance of Amethyst Sky Heavenly Palace, spatial fissures appeared across the entire region. It was normal as such things happened every time the palace appeared."
" However, from a nearby spatial crack, a beam of black light fell into the Azure Sun Realm, and merged with one of the spirit veins."
" The spirit veins here were blessed by the aura of Heavenly Emperor Crimson Sky. However, that cursed thing managed to devour it and grew stronger."
" There were seven great spirit veins, and that thing devoured one of them. However, before it could devour others, the sect master of that time noticed the anomaly and dispatched a group of disciples to handle it."
" But who could have thought that such a thing would be like a disaster from heaven? After numerous casualties, Sect Master didn\'t hesitate to put everything on the line, even sacrificed his life to seal that monster."
" Meanwhile, elders like me, who survived the disaster, realized that the sea alone couldn\'t stop the monster inside the Azure Sun Realm at all."
" If it came out, not only the Four Seasons Valley, the entire Eastern Region would plunge to death and chaos."
" So me with a few other elders sealed ourselves with the remaining great spirit veins, forming seals to stop the corruption of that monster. Out of five of us, I guess three of them already died."
" Only me and Ancestor Huang are remaining. SIgh, At this rate, I might live only a few more centuries before dying."
" Then what about that monster?" Long Ming asked in a low voice.? " You guys used the personal weapon of Empress Crimson Sky and Empress Winter Song, along with the Four Directions Grand Sword Formations. Yet you guys couldn\'t kill it off?"
" Haah, It looks like you also have some information." Hao Tianci nodded. " Yes, we used various powerful things, but that thing is simply…Otherworldly."
" It\'s estimated strength was at…at least Ancient Lord Realm rank."
" But that\'s not the issue. The real issue was its shell." Hao Tianci sighed. " I don\'t know if it was its natural shell or it gained such a treasure from somewhere else."
" It\'s body isn\'t that powerful. If it was any normal circumstance, the power was enough to deter even a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator."
" Yet, that shield on its body, it stopped all the attack of the Four Directional Grand Sword Formations. Even the Solar Flame Wheel only managed to make some dents on it."
" If there was a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator with us, we could have still won. However, we only had two Ancient Lord Realm ancestors back then. Sect Master only reached the peak of Dao Refining Realm."
" And the end… You knew what happened." Hao Tianci sighed. " We almost managed to kill it. Yet it hid inside its shell, leaving us no choice but to seal it."
" You almost killed it? So, It\'s in the crippled state now?" Long Ming asked in a cautious voice.
" Yes, it almost died. Yet, that damed shell. It shielded it perfectly. But it\'s evil power managed to kill almost all of us."
" My true body is still recovering and sealing two great spirit veins at the same time in Herbal Sanctuary."
" As you can see, there are so many precious things here. Yet, I can\'t use any of them. Because, if my physical body moves, the seal will get broken and the monster might get unleashed."
" Elder Hao, After the calamity, the Sky Martial Tower attacked us and took away many of our treasures. Those bastards…" Mu Qinglian snorted.
" Heh, During our heyday, they couldn\'t even lift their head before us." Hao Tianci snorted. " Empress Crimson Sky killed three of their True Disciples when she was aiming for the Heavenly Throne."
" But I guess after the calamity, the strength of Four Seasons Valley declined sharply. They really grasped the opportunity and dealt a sharp blow to our sect. Those motherfuckers…"
Hao Tianci sighed with disappointment and anger. But he realized he couldn\'t do anything at all.
" Thanks to the formation and the nonstop overflow of true qi, the herbs and treasures nurtured here way faster. So, take whatever you like and leave this realm." Hua Tianci turned around.
" With so many herbs, nurturing a few Dao Refining Realm cultivators won\'t be any issues at all. You might even be able to reinforce the sect with an Ancient Lord Realm cultivator."
Long Ming looked at Hua Tianci. " Are you not coming with us, Elder Hao? Besides, didn\'t you say Ancestor Huang is also here?"
" Haha, Brat, I appreciate your concern." Elder Hao chuckled. " However, as I said, I can\'t leave this place. Unless that calamity gets eradicated completely, I can\'t leave this place."
Long Ming and Mu Qinglian exchanged glances as they sighed. Judging Hao Tianci\'s power, the Four Seasons Valley\'s influence would expand if he came back to the sect.
" So, What exactly is that monster?" Mu Qinglian took a sharp breath as she looked at Hao Tianci.
" It was like a giant mountain of pulsing grey flesh, with strange and exotic plants growing on its body. It got many eyes around its body, and tree branch like hands."
" On its back, there was a shell like a cauldron. But it was filled with the primordial dao rhythm, almost comparable to a Grand Heaeven Ascension Realm. Such a strange creature, I never saw any records of that."
" We named it… The Pale Mountain Abyssal Monster."

[ Failure: Death]
[ Host can choose not to accept it]
Long Ming frowned when he saw the altered quest. He realized the gravity of the situation since even the System gave him the choice to not accept it.
[ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mysteries gazing at you with curious eyes]
\' Since the system gave me the mission, that means I still have some chance to kill the Pale Mountain Abyssal Monster. But the danger of the mission is too high\'
" Elder Hao, Do you have any idea how to kill that monster?" Long Ming looked at Hao Tianci. " I am not talking about our strength, but other means to kill it."
" There are many ways you can kill it." Hao Tianci spoke. " As long as it leaves its damned shell, the power of the Four Directional Grand Sword Formation can kill it."
" Or a fully unleashed Primal Emperor Treasure can also kill it. But, As I said, It\'s almost impossible."
" I see…"
Long Ming pondered as he nodded.
\' No matter what, I need to increase my strength first. My qi cultivation is still limited to the True Core Formation Realm. So, I can only focus on my physique now.\'
" Sister Mu, Since we are here, we should reap the benefits of this place." Long Ming looked at her. " Why don\'t you summon all of our junior sisters here? This place is very safe and good for cultivation."
" But what about you? Are you going to stay here?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming.
" I need to undergo the Minor Physique Tribulation." Long Ming smiled. " So, I am going to enter meditation."
" Don\'t worry, As long as I am here, no one can touch you guys in this place." Hao Tianci spoke. Mu Qinglian gave a quick glance at Long Ming as she turned around to leave.
Long Ming nodded as a scroll appeared in his hand. Opening it, he could see a single word written on it.
His Heavenly Revelation Eyes turned deep azure as his Desolate Immortal Aura burst forth. Hua Tianci\'s eyes turned wide when he felt the laws of heaven and earth in the Azure Sun Secret Realm were trembling.
" He… He is resonating with the laws of heaven and earth? That\'s something only Nine Transformations of Soul Realm cultivators can do!"
Long Ming felt the scroll before him turning into a window, opening the way toward a new realm of comprehension.
Union, one of the nine true runes which are the base of rune inscription. However, they don\'t only get used in runes, but the universe itself.
Many things contradict each other. Yet, there is also a balance that can make several conflicted things unite.
Fire and water can oppose each other, yet they can also merge. Fire can give birth to vapor, turning into water. Meanwhile, water can also give birth to fire.
With enough comprehension, one can unite physique, energy, and soul. One can unite the heaven and earth with their heart, transcending the mortal dust.
Long Ming felt he was traversing in a starry space, witnessing countless worlds and realms. He could see various techniques, creatures, and abstract concepts.
Some of them were too hard to grasp, and some of them were too easy to learn. But Long Ming was only focused on one thing.
" Unity… True unity of man, heaven, and earth… Unification of I and the world."
Suddenly, Long Ming felt like his entire body merged into the world itself, making him part of the cosmos, a figure of endless bright and dark sky.
Clouds rumbled as the region filled with dark clouds, with pale white and golden lightning crackling in them.
" The time has come…"
