The battle in Miao Cheng continued, while the fighting elsewhere had reached its conclusion. With the addition of several Golden Immortal Realm Creators, they unleashed a thunderous onslaught to eliminate the Monsters causing chaos within Miao Cheng.
Meanwhile, high above, one of the Three, Supreme Clarity, suddenly opened the gates of Supreme Purity Manor after a long period of inactivity, welcoming disciples from all walks of life. As long as one possessed sufficient talent and a good character, there was an opportunity to join the renowned Supreme Purity Manor within the Thirty-Three Chambers.
In stark contrast to the bustling activity of Supreme Clarity, three figures appeared in the void of an Ancient Realm beyond the Thirty-Three.
This was an ancient world that had existed since primordial times, untouched and undestroyed. Few in the current era were aware of its existence. The three figures that emerged were among those who knew this secret.
Despite the ancient nature of this world, the appearance of these three individuals posed a significant threat, hinting at signs of potential collapse. If not for their efforts to control their own auras, even a moment's negligence could lead to the world's destruction.
The three were concealed within the void, their forms indistinct. Only the faint flow of energy and light surrounding them gave a sense of something elusive and ethereal.
If one were to find a term to describe these three figures, Zuo Dao would undoubtedly use "noble and righteous." Unfortunately, Zuo Dao was currently preoccupied with watching the battle between Lü Wei and the Blood Queen in Miao Cheng.
"How many years have passed? I never expected we would finally meet again," spoke a man among them who exuded an imposing presence.
"I wish this meeting were merely a dream," replied a gentle voice belonging to a woman enveloped in a radiant glow.
"What is destined to come will always arrive. The Lower Domain has begun to descend into chaos; there is no escaping this calamity!" said another figure, whose righteous demeanor belied a tone that felt somewhat frivolous.
"How has Jade Clarity been lately?" The imposing man suddenly spoke with utmost tenderness.
"Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out. That is not something you should inquire about," replied Jade Clarity coldly, her response starkly contrasting her luminous appearance.
However, Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out seemed accustomed to her tone and did not respond further, merely shaking his head.
"What time is it? You two are still bickering," remarked the righteous man with authority.
"Shut up, Supreme Clarity."
"Shut up, Supreme Clarity."
Before the words had even settled, both were met with a joint reprimand.
"Fine, consider it as if I never spoke." Supreme Clarity, though scolded, didn’t mind at all and tilted his head back to gulp down a few more sips of wine.
What are the Upper Three?
Supreme Clarity True Method. Sword Out., Jade Clarity, and Supreme Clarity are referred to as the Upper Three.
The three individuals present here are known by these names; in the Thirty-Three Chambers, there are only three such people. All three are among the rulers of the Upper Three Domains.
These three rarely reveal themselves to the world, like dragons that are seen but not caught. Yet now, they all appeared in one place, a location known only to them.
"Since the garden shattered, we have faced too many helpless situations in this lifetime. These burdens should not have fallen upon us; it's just that old friends have either died or scattered. Now, only the three of us remain in this garden," Supreme Clarity True Method. Sword Out. sighed deeply.
"The Restriction of Thirty-Three has begun to loosen; Miao Cheng's Blood Queen has awakened. The others may still be holding up somewhat, but chaos is already beginning to emerge," Jade Clarity's voice was strikingly different from her appearance—cold and hot, two extremes.
"Sister Jade Clarity's Realm has grown increasingly profound." Supreme Clarity drank again, and for a moment, the aroma of wine filled the air.
The two had long since grown accustomed to Supreme Clarity's eccentricity and paid it no mind.
"Sister Jade Clarity is too kind; your Carefree Journey has also reached great heights, hasn’t it?" If anyone heard Jade Clarity’s words at that moment, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar.
The esteemed Supreme Clarity and Jade Clarity were actually siblings in the same sect—what did that imply? But even more shocking revelations were yet to come.
"I don't know what this is all about. The Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out. Your Nourishing Master technique has probably reached the pinnacle of the ninth level, right? Haha!" Supreme Clarity tossed a flask of wine to Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out.
"Back then, our master taught each of us a unique skill, but it's Jade Clarity's World of Mortals that makes everyone envious."
"Supreme Clarity, we can't learn Jade Clarity's style; there's no need for you to be jealous." At that moment, Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out recalled their mysteriously vanished master and felt a twinge of loneliness.
"Alright, we're not here to reminisce. The entire Thirty-Three Cities is in trouble; we should think about how to resolve it." Jade Clarity had a cool demeanor, yet practiced an exceptionally bright Cultivation Method.
"You don't need to worry about Miao Cheng's situation." Supreme Clarity burped. "As long as my disciple is here, there's nothing we can't solve."
Hearing Supreme Clarity's words, both Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out and Jade Clarity exchanged glances.
"Supreme Clarity, do you really think this is worth it? You know what our master said about this..." Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out's words were cut off by Supreme Clarity.
"This isn't a matter of worth; as long as I believe it's worth it, that's enough." Supreme Clarity's tone was complex—filled with helplessness, reluctance, and above all, determination.
"Your disciple is quite the oddball; however, he seems to have other opportunities!" Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out chuckled. "Your Carefree Journey truly finds its meaning in him."
"This kid is strange; I only took him in by chance. But he seems to have some connection with those old fossils from the Supreme Elder." If someone could see his expression at that moment, they would find it quite peculiar.
"Those people always think they have everything under control, yet they don't realize they're just preparing a dowry for someone else." Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out seemed to have some issues with the Supreme Elder mentioned by Supreme Clarity.
"Enough, you two! The Cataclysm is approaching; we are all destined for calamity and should be preparing." Jade Clarity felt like giving both brothers a good scolding. They were hundreds of thousands of years old yet acted like children who never grew up.
"Prepare? Prepare for what? Our master just tossed everything aside and claimed it was the trend of the times. Aren't we the ones left in the lurch?" Supreme Clarity seemed to harbor great grievances against their master.
"You sound just like our master." Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out scoffed at Supreme Clarity's words.
"Hehe," Supreme Clarity chuckled without saying much.
"You both should say less. The Master has actually left a backup plan; it's just that you don't know it," Jade Clarity said, completely losing hope in the two of them.
"Is that what you call a backup plan?" Supreme Clarity exclaimed.
"As long as you stand at our level, you can see what the Master’s so-called backup plan really is."
With that, Supreme Clarity pointed downwards.
The so-called thirty-three refers to the area above the Ancient Court.
From here, one could see the entire panorama of the thirty-three.
The Lower Twenty Domains, Middle Ten Domains, and Upper Three Domains were all operating beneath their feet in a profound manner.
This was an ancient formation, but it had obvious flaws.
"The foundation should be a ratio of three to seven, while the middle should be three to three. Adding the Upper Three Domains would create an unbreakable formation. It’s just that I don’t know why the Master made such a mistake and moved the Xian Ding, which should belong to the next domain, into the Central Domain."
Supreme Clarity couldn't help but think about how he wanted to steal all of the old man's liquor.
"More importantly, it's clear he could have killed all those demons, yet he chose only to suppress them, making it impossible for anyone to drink in peace."
"Alright, Supreme Clarity, complaining won't help. You know how that Master is," Supreme Clarity True Method: Sword Out recalled with a bit of a headache about that unreliable Master.
Even Jade Clarity let out a long sigh at this moment.
"He is doing just fine, riding his old cow and enjoying himself, leaving the three of us to suffer here," Supreme Clarity said, growing more agitated with each passing moment.
"Especially those old geezers, always restless. At least eighty percent of the trouble down there was caused by them."
"Flower Moving Palace, Yin Corpse Sect, and others have all been wiped out by their hands. It was manageable when our master was around, but now that he has been missing for so long, their patience has worn thin. Instead of figuring out how to deal with the Cataclysm, they are plotting against us," Supreme Clarity's demeanor resembled that of a street rogue, laughing and cursing from the heart.
"The main issue isn't that," he continued. "The real problem is that your disciple seems to have caught their attention."
Supreme Clarity perked up at this.
"They're after that kid? If I hadn't been clever enough to run back quickly, my identity would have been exposed long ago. I have to tread carefully around him; there's no need for them to do anything."
Jade Clarity interjected, "Supreme Clarity, what about your disciple who took away my two disciples?"
"Heh heh." Supreme Clarity felt a headache coming on. "That seems unrelated to me; you should go find him about it."
"Are you really his master or not?"
"I am his master, but what kind of woman he chooses is none of my business."
...
Their banter shifted to an even more unreliable topic.
"I've already had Supreme Clarity True Method prepare everything."
"What? You're really going to do that?" Even the usually carefree Supreme Clarity became serious upon hearing this.
"In just a few years, the seal of the Thirty-Three will be completely shattered. When that happens, demons will invade, and even the divine realm won't miss this opportunity. If we don't prepare early, I'm afraid that by then..." Supreme Clarity True Method. Sword Out. paused for a moment.
"The situation is chaotic, and the future is obscured; I cannot see it clearly."
"What! Is it that serious?" Supreme Clarity asked, somewhat incredulous.
Among the three, only Supreme Clarity True Method. Sword Out. had been taught the art of calculation and prediction by his master. If even he couldn't foresee the developments, it would indeed be troublesome.
Supreme Clarity True Method. Sword Out. said, "For now, we can only take one step at a time and hope your disciple surprises us."
"Could that child truly be the one destined to face calamity?" Supreme Clarity remarked casually, not expecting that upon hearing this, Supreme Clarity True Method. Sword Out. would fall into deep thought.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "It's not impossible."
"The Drunken Old Man is too sinister; it's bad enough he schemes against us, but to even target his own disciple is utterly immoral," Supreme Clarity exclaimed in anger.
"Have you forgotten your master's title?" Jade Clarity said softly after hearing Supreme Clarity's words.
Both Supreme Clarity True Method. Sword Out. and Supreme Clarity were left speechless upon hearing Jade Clarity's remark.
