Cultivator Shen Yu was also looking at his master.
Though he wasn't very knowledgeable about cultivation in the True Master Realm, he had been in this world long enough to have some understanding of its cultivation practices.
Breaking through a realm usually happens in two ways.
One is breaking through through one's own cultivation technique.
Whether it's step by step like water wearing down stone, or a sudden moment of enlightenment, in essence, it's an internal accumulation.
The other way relies on external forces.
Elixirs, resources, various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
There are even some cultivation techniques that can assist in a breakthrough.
According to what he knew, his master Qingfeng True Master came to this Spirit Mountain about eight hundred years ago to train and refine the Core Technique. Over a hundred and thirty years ago, he began accepting disciples, as by that time, the Core Technique was near complete. It was during his journey to seek resources after leaving Spirit Mountain that he met his disciple by fate.
Qingfeng True Master hesitated for a moment, but then nodded: "I am indeed ready."
Everyone's expressions slightly changed.
Even though it was still uncertain whether breaking through to Earth Immortal would inevitably lead to demise,
the situation was already extremely dangerous.
Yao Xue opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
To persuade the master not to break through?
The fact that Qingfeng True Master hadn't gone into seclusion indicated he was already cautious. But if he didn't break through now, could he perhaps never break through?
Additionally, Cultivator Shen Yu had heard before.
Among the True Masters, there is a saying.
When a True Master realizes they've lost hope of advancing further, their demise calamity is not far away.
Even if they don't face an external calamity, they might fall due to an internal one.
To put it in more modern terms, when a person loses their survival goal and meaning, their survival consciousness rapidly declines.
Nevertheless, Qingfeng True Master was quite nonchalant.
"It's no matter to me, just another calamity on the path of cultivation," he smiled slightly, "No matter if it's ten more years, or waiting hundreds, even thousands of years, I can wait. I won't be discouraged so easily."
Yet, Qingfeng True Master's expression slowly turned serious.
He looked at Cultivator Shen Yu with slight curiosity: "This change is now being taken seriously by various Immortal Sects, and even Earth Immortals are beginning to pay attention, but until now no one has found the answer. You speak of 'extinction crisis' unaware…"
Indeed, although this situation has only occurred over the short span of ten or so years, and is even unknown, it has spread among True Masters.
Even Earth Immortals are beginning to move, trying to find the reason.
So far, there has been no sound.
But now he sees a hint of potential truth from his disciple.
Moreover, the power his disciple just displayed was truly unrelated to Taoist Rhyme.
He couldn't help but take it seriously.
Though he didn't ask directly, the meaning in his words was already exploring the cause behind Cultivator Shen Yu.
What foundation does this disciple possess to still speak of "saving the cosmos" amidst such upheaval?
Cultivator Shen Yu knew the crucial moment had arrived.
According to the rules for obtaining Gray Mist, if he wanted to acquire enough Gray Mist, he would have to play a leading role in the process of saving the world and battling the apocalypse.
If others saved the world, the Gray Mist would not belong to him.
Especially when these cultivators could scarcely protect themselves, they wouldn't care about the Mortal World. Yet, even if a single mortal provides less Gray Mist compared to a cultivator, the total number counts here.
In these circumstances, Cultivator Shen Yu must consider his own dominant role.
He slightly organized his words and then slowly said: "Master, you know that whether it's a person or a power, the environment they are in and the vision they possess can sometimes represent their strength."
"Indeed, in most cases," Qingfeng True Master nodded slightly, "From the countryside to the towns in the Mortal World, to the court capital, to Immortal Cultivation Families, to Orthodox Immortal Sects, the view widens gradually. We cultivate not only to continuously enhance our power, but also to expand our standing between heaven and earth."
He roughly understood what his disciple wanted to convey.
His expression became slightly solemn, and he felt amazed.
This is indeed easy to understand.
A hermit in the countryside may only know a few surrounding villages and mountains their whole life and that's the extent of their strength.
Even he, as a True Master, can't claim to know the entire world.
There are many places in this world that remain dangerous for True Masters.
Only Earth Immortals can come and go freely.
But beyond Earth Immortals, there is the entire cosmos, and whether there are stronger Immortals within it, he does not know.
And now—his disciple's background has already surpassed the cosmos.
Just the thought of it conjures a terrifying existence.
"The place I resided in my past life was capable of freely traversing all heavens and myriads of realms, to us, even the vast stars and endless cosmos together are merely regarded as one part of the All Heavens World, a small place." Cultivator Shen Yu slowly said, "However, no matter how immense the Endless Heavens are, when people gather, they inevitably need to share common thoughts, ideas, goals. The power I belong to is formed from civilizations across the Endless Heavens that are about to be destroyed, united to build what's called the 'All Heavens End-of-the-World Civilization Mutual Aid Association.'
