Of ancient desolation.

Qingzong. Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text! ?

Now Shen Changqing is out of the world, his whole being immersed in the River of Rules. The Heavenly Dao presents itself before him, and numerous Dao rhymes pour forth, leading to a gradual increase in his understanding of the Ultimate Law.

This improvement rate is slow, almost to the point of being completely negligible.

That's all.

No matter how slow this speed is.

The comprehension of the way of the underworld is a tangible and real advancement.

Time flies.

Shen Changqing has already been heading toward the second stage of a great master.

It was at that moment.

The black ocean churned violently, turning into monstrous waves that swallowed the void. The power of the Netherworld rules was further compressed, thoroughly awakening Shen Changqing who was immersed in them.

“The power of the Dark Forbidden Lord has grown stronger again!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

He looked at the black expanse before him, his expression grim.

Just how long had I been in seclusion? The power of the Dark Banished Master had already ascended another level, accelerating its devouring of the Netherworld rules.

Although Shen Changqing had some ideas when he saw the darkness power increasing before, now that he truly saw the darkness power further transform, there was still a sense of foreboding.

However.

Shen Changqing was not surprised for long.

Within the Qingzong, a large amount of dark power erupted, causing his mind to instantly depart from the river of rules.

Spiritual consciousness returns to the body.

Shen Changqing opened his eyes.

The next instant.

He stepped out of the void chamber, overlooking the entire Qingzong.

Only within the Qingzong sect was darkness surging, with countless eerie and ominous forces rampaging, seeking to devour the entire Qingzong.

At this moment.

The Qi of the Azure Sect surged and churned violently.

The Blood Banner, which suppressed the sect's qi, also trembled incessantly.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text! ?

Streams of bloody and sinister energy spread out from the blood banner, seeking to suppress the entire sect's fortune. However, even so, it could not stop the flow of the sect's fortune.

However.

Shen Changqing now ignored the matter of the sect's qi运. His divine sense covered the entire Qingzong, and he saw that many outer disciples and inner disciples were now enveloped by dark power, causing quite a stir within the sect.

These dark forces, Shen Changqing was all too familiar with.

"Dark Banisher!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

His face was grim.

After passing through customs, Shen Changqing distinctly felt that the darkness permeating the world was several times denser than before.

It was precisely because of the sudden surge in dark power that many disciples with weak wills were affected and subsequently fell. Please note that "<<<">and "<<<>>>" are not standard HTML tags.

The disciples who are now causing chaos are all being corrupted by dark forces, but they can't handle this power and become puppets who only know how to kill.

These puppets' existence, Shen Changqing was even more familiar with.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate other text!

At the beginning when the Underworld first connected with the heavens, these dark puppets served as the vanguard of the invasion. He couldn't even remember how many dark puppets he had slain.

Meanwhile.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Shen Changqing understood even more.

Once corrupted by dark forces and turned into a killing puppet, there is no possibility of recovery.

It is now.

With the emergence of the Dark Puppeteer, powerful figures from Qingzong, led by elders like Duan Jingzong, immediately stepped forward to suppress the chaos. All disciples who attempted to cause trouble were executed on the spot.

However.

A portion of disciples who had merged with dark power but retained their sanity, upon seeing the powerful elders of the sect step forward to suppress them, did not intend to engage in a direct confrontation at all. Instead, they scattered and fled.

Seeing this scene, Shen Changqing's right palm revealed a Qingyu Lingyan. Following that, with a slight movement of his divine sense, he saw the Qingyu Lingyan transform into millions of blue silk threads, flying towards the emptiness in all directions.

All the disciples who had embraced the darkness, before they could even leave the sect, were pierced through by Tsinghua's threads and ultimately burned to ashes by the divine fire.

at first glance.

All cultivators who fell into darkness met their demise.

This is the time.

Only then did the other ordinary disciples wake up.

“Dark invasion, why is this happening?”

"Why has the dark power increased so drastically out of nowhere? Damn it—"

Some disciples were shocked, while others felt a sense of relief after surviving the ordeal. The surge of dark power was immense, transforming some former comrades into dark puppets. Had it not been for the timely intervention of powerful figures within the sect, many, perhaps even myself, would have perished at the hands of our own kin.

With the appearance of the Dark Forbidden Lord, dark power has become something that is no stranger to all cultivators.

In the past, they treated dark forces as venomous snakes, avoiding them at all costs and never even considering the possibility of refining them.

But this time, the dark power suddenly surged, catching many disciples off guard. They were unknowingly eroded by the dark power and eventually became puppets of darkness.

"Dark forces surge, the skies of the underworld are about to change!"

Outside the cave, Gu Chen Shen Huang's face was also not looking good. Just when the dark power surged just now, he sensed something was wrong. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Although there was no Dark Forbidden Master in ancient times, he, having been reincarnated and inherited Bai Tong's memories, would naturally not be unfamiliar with the Dark Forbidden Master.

Especially now, with the darkness that coexists in the Underworld with Nether Qi, even the ancient Emperor Guchen fears it deeply.

With his insight, he could perceive the sinister nature of the dark forces.

That is an ominous power.

Full of temptation.

But it also gives one a sense of foreboding.

That's all.

The Ancient Divine Emperor had never once thought of giving birth to or refining the power of darkness.

At this moment, many disciples of Qingzong suddenly fell into darkness. The ancient emperor Gu Chen wanted to make a move, but before he could, the strong cultivators of Qingzong solved all these problems, saving him a lot of trouble.

However.

This time, the change was something that even the ancient emperor Guchen sensed. His keen senses told him that something wasn't right.

Unknowingly.

Even the Ancient Dust Divine Emperor felt a sense of urgency.

"Even Half-step Divine Venerable is insufficient. The great tribulation has arrived, and the Dark Forbidden Lord hiding in the shadows will definitely not be simple. Now that the power of darkness surges, the changes in Qingzong will only be a microcosm of the Netherworld."

With this change, the Dark camp's strength is likely to increase significantly. The existing situation may also undergo a shift.

"The only way to possibly survive this tribulation is to attain the status of a divine being as quickly as possible!"

>

The Ancient Dust Divine Emperor was increasingly determined to prove the divine sovereign, even though he was only a half-step divine sovereign of the eighth rank, wanting to truly impact the divine sovereign realm, his hopes were very slim.

Regardless of how you put it, Gu Chen Shen Huang's biggest thought now is to take that crucial step.

At once.

He is again going into seclusion.

The changing world situation even made this ancient God Emperor feel a sense of crisis.

Grand Hall of the Sect.

All high-ranking members of the Qingzong are gathered here.

Shen Changqing didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Not long ago, the power of darkness surged unexpectedly. Something must have happened in the Netherworld that we don't know about."

How many disciples of the Qingzong have been corrupted by dark forces?

Lastly, Shen Changqing looked down at the broken scenery and Zong Xiang.

One person is responsible for the inner gate, and the other person is responsible for the outer gate. These matters should naturally be clear.

As expected.

As soon as Shen Changqing finished speaking, Duan Jing responded without hesitation: "Currently, thirteen inner disciples have been corrupted by dark forces. Among them, six disciples have become puppets, and the remaining seven have turned into dark believers."

But now all the inner disciples who have fallen into darkness have been completely exterminated, without a single one left.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

“Around 100,000 outer disciples were affected by the dark power, but they were all exterminated.”

When Zongxiang said this, the atmosphere in the hall grew noticeably heavy.

Ten thousand disciples!

This is an amazing number.

After all, the outer disciples of Qingzong numbered only a mere million. To lose ten thousand in one go was bound to shock everyone else.

In comparison.

The proportion of inner disciples is also not low.

After all, compared to the hundreds of thousands of outer sect disciples, there are only over a hundred inner sect disciples. But thirteen of them have fallen to darkness, which shows how much damage this change has inflicted on the sect.

Even when Shen Changqing received this number, he was silent for a moment before asking.

"Can the cause of this current darkness and upheaval be clearly stated?"

“I don't know for the time being. My subordinate will immediately have the sect disciples go and investigate the news. I believe there will be results soon.”

Immediately, Shen Changqing nodded. “We will investigate the cause of this darkness and chaos with all our might. I need to understand why the dark forces suddenly surged. This time, ten thousand disciples of our Qingzong have perished, but because we acted swiftly to suppress them, the disturbance was not too great.”

Even my Qingzong sect is like this, the other sects must be no better.

As for the affairs of other sects, we cannot interfere. However, if any darkness or turmoil arises within the subordinate forces under the Qingzong, they must be suppressed with full force at the first opportunity, and no major chaos is allowed to occur.

Besides you, the elders of your sect need to always thoroughly inspect the sect. Absolutely no more darkness and chaos can be allowed. Anyone who falls into darkness, regardless of their status, must be relentlessly purged!

"As you command!"

Several people present clasped their fists and accepted the order.

Then.

Shen Changqing looked at Duan Jing and said again, “Compared to Qingzong, this seat is more worried about the problems of Qingcheng. If there is darkness and turmoil in Qingcheng, the trouble will only be more serious than within the sect.”

Although Elder Jiang Mo is currently stationed at Qingcheng, he's a newly ascended Divine Monarch and it's uncertain if he possesses the ability to quell the darkness and turmoil.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Therefore, you shall take charge of this matter. You may proceed to Qingcheng Mountain and assist Elder Jiang Mo in suppressing the darkness and chaos.

And then he spoke.

Sheng Changqing didn't wait for Duan Jing to answer and took out the blood banner again.

"The darkness and chaos are unlike anything we've seen before. Just to be safe, take the Blood Banner with you as well. I believe that with this treasured artifact, you will be able to resolve the issues in Qingcheng."

There are many cultivators on Qingcheng Mountain, but there aren't many top-tier experts. At most, there are some hidden deities. These hidden deities don't necessarily fall into darkness.

Let's step back.

Even if a hidden world god falls into darkness, with the Blood Banner's power, it can suppress any being weaker than a God Emperor.

The emergence of darkness and turmoil has intensified Shen Changqing's inner unease.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

If there is any good news, the best news is that since the outbreak of darkness and chaos, the core high-level officials of the Qingzong have not been influenced by power and fallen into darkness.

Otherwise, the problem will only become more difficult.
