Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 213 - 2.12 million swords return to their origin

Seeing that everyone was in place, Jiaojiao heaved another sigh, formed a Daoist hand seal, and the entire dream realm seemed to tremble for a moment.

In the next instant, azure flames engulfed the sky within the dream realm, turning it a shade of blue.

Then the flames vanished, transforming into a blue sky with white clouds, and the blue earth beneath their feet became real soil.

Everyone within the dream realm felt that the world before their eyes seemed more real, more delicate, as if it had become an actual world.

This was Jiaojiao casting Taoist spells both inside and outside the dream at the same time, externally burning the Great Dream Spring and Autumn Pearl, while internally unleashing the power of the Primordial Spirit in coordination, directly absorbing the distortion of the Heavenly Dao’s influence into the Great Dream Spring and Autumn Pearl.

This made the entire dream realm more normal, more real, and more refined.

At the same time, the screen in the sky flickered slightly, and the 72-hour countdown ticked down, changing to 71:59:59.

After 72 hours, the Great Dream Spring and Autumn Pearl would reach its limit and shatter completely, and the effect of absorbing the Heavenly Dao’s distortion would also disappear entirely.

A thought flashed through everyone’s mind simultaneously, "It’s begun!"

...

At the same time, in the real world, before the Grand Elder’s mutated flesh and blood.

A screen flickered in the air, the same list and countdown as in the dream realm, clearly showing which level of Taoist techniques each person in the dream was cultivating.

Vice Principal Zhao Shouyi, Ying Hui, Kuang Tu, and Teacher Snake stood before the screen, all looking with concern at the situation displayed.

Ying Hui couldn’t help but say to Zhao Shouyi, "Old Zhao, Yun Chong is recounting his duties in Heaven, missing the opportunity. Why did you also give up this chance?"

Zhao Shouyi smiled and shook his head, "I am well aware of my own talents. You talk about the 8th or 9th levels of cultivation, with hard work and practice, I still have a chance to achieve.

But with the Twilight Taoist Skill, especially the five Supreme Divine Powers, it’s not a matter of hard practice; it requires exceptional talent. My progress on the five Supreme Divine Powers has already reached my own limits.

Moreover, as the principal of the Eastern Dao School, I have many responsibilities to bear. The Twilight Taoist Skill is too dangerous, and there’s little chance for me to use it now, even if I did cultivate it. It’s better to lighten the ancestral burdens and give the opportunity to the younger generation."

Teacher Snake asked, "Who do you think will gain the most from this 72-hour continuous cultivation session?"

Ying Hui said, "It should be Zhou Bai. His talent goes without saying, and he is also starting from the most basic first level of Taoist art. With this 72-hour continuous practice, he’ll definitely make great progress."

Teacher Snake shook his head, "I heard that Zhou Bai’s progress is not good. He’s only reached the three or four Steles of the All Swords Return to the Sect for several weeks in a row. When I taught him, I felt that he had no talent in the Sword Dao, and it seems to be the case now."

Kuang Tu nodded in agreement, "Fast progress in cultivation doesn’t mean strong talent in the Twilight Taoist Skill. I’m actually looking forward to Zheng Wentian; after all, he is a divine being with a solid foundation. Starting from the first level of Taoist technique, he might be able to practice up to the fourth level in these 72 hours."

Zhao Shouyi started smiling, "Chongyang has made rapid progress in his understanding of Sword Dao recently; he might have a great harvest this time."

"Your disciple Lv Chongyang?" Ying Hui looked at Zhao Shouyi and said, "He hasn’t come to practice Twilight Taoist Skill for a long time."

Zhao Shouyi said, "That’s because he is honing his Sword Intent and accumulating his understanding of swordsmanship. This time, he has encountered a rare opportunity, and he should be able to make a breakthrough." He looked at Lv Chongyang’s name, who was on the fourth layer of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword – the Outer Heaven Flying Sword Technique.

Just then, the sound of a wheelchair rolling softly came, and it was Zhou Shan pushing Peter to the front of the crowd.

Zhao Shouyi’s brow furrowed slightly, "Peter, why are you here? This place is dangerous; you should go back."

Xiaopei said with a pitiful look, "Great-Grandmother has activated the Dream Spring and Autumn Bead, and I really can’t stop worrying about the dangers inside. Grandpa, please let me have a look."

Seeing Xiaopei’s pitiful appearance, Zhao Shouyi sighed softly and nodded. The other teachers, observing this internal matter of the Zhao Family, naturally turned their heads aside, with no intention of intervening.

Xiaopei’s gaze swept over the light screen before her and thought to herself, ’The five Supreme Divine Powers... Hmph... things that no one could possibly cultivate. But it would be good to see which Twilight Taoist Skills they have practiced. Knowing their trump cards, if we become enemies in the future, it’s good to be prepared.’

On the other side, within the pit of flesh and blood, Christina was controlling Zhou Bai’s body, not daring to move an inch.

...

In the dream, Zhou Bai once again came to the fourth Stele of "All Swords Return to Origin," and sat down straight away.

But not long after he had sat down, Liu Bingxin, who had chosen the Tianhe Star Explosion Technique, also came to the first layer and walked to the position of the first Stele.

Zhou Bai and Liu Bingxin exchanged a glance and nodded at each other, then each intensified their focus on their cultivation.

Because of the existence of laziness points, Zhou Bai felt some emotional turbulence and took a few minutes to calm down before slowly entering a state of contemplation.

As he contemplated, a few minutes later, a message came up on the auxiliary panel.

"Do you want to spend 22,998 laziness points to learn ’All Swords Return to Origin’?"

"Eh? That’s a lot less than before, could it be related to my improved aptitude? My aptitude has increased and there’s the nearby beauty bonus, so I spent fewer laziness points?"

Zhou Bai nodded in agreement, feeling that his speculation should be correct. Then he thought to himself, ’Logically speaking, the ten Taoist techniques under the Tianhe Star Explosion series would surely be progressively more difficult.

So, if I have 72 hours, then I should stick to training hard on my own for the earlier time period, mastering the relatively simpler Twilight Taoist Skills first. If I feel there isn’t enough time later, then I can use laziness points to learn the more challenging Twilight Taoist Skills.

That would probably be the most cost-effective approach.’

Zhou Bai nodded and, restraining the excitement in his heart, continued to contemplate the Taoist Skills.

As his agitated emotions slowly settled, Zhou Bai gradually entered the zone.

And with this contemplation, he immediately felt the difference.

Previously when he contemplated ’All Swords Return to Origin,’ he could only vaguely sense a connection to the void, but now this feeling was incredibly clear.

Zhou Bai felt his mind spreading through the Swordscar before him, gradually breaking through the constraints of space, and arriving in a strange space.

’This is the void...’

A thought emerged in his mind, and the next moment, it seemed as if countless sword shadows appeared in his mind.

Zhou Bai instantly understood, "The fourth Stele, mastered."

A slight smile crept upon his lips, "Is it the effect of facial supremacy?"

Zhou Bai quickly walked to the fifth Stele and sat down to contemplate.

Five minutes later, Zhou Bai felt that through the contemplation of the fifth Stele, his connection to the void became even tighter, as if he could vaguely see swords of various shapes and sizes moving through the void.

"The fifth Stele, also mastered," Zhou Bai said with a slight smile, standing up and walking towards the sixth Stele.
