Cheng Feng was evidently gripped by the utmost fear.
He wanted to say something, make a final struggle, but, as soon as he opened his mouth, the next moment, his entire body was ruthlessly and decisively destroyed by an immense amount of mana, leaving not a trace.
And his soul was also struck by a merciless force, completely dominated, turned into a puppet that could only answer questions, with all self-awareness thoroughly erased.
In front of a group of Earth Immortal Great Powers, a mere Celestial Destiny Realm Demon Cultivator had no room for even the slightest struggle.
Even if his talent and ability could be called extraordinary, and he was not deeply involved with the Demon Dao, in the face of a single word from Cultivator Shen Yu, he held no weight.
The body of Cyan Simurgh trembled slightly. Although she had already guessed that Cheng Feng was likely to have fallen into the Demon Dao, witnessing the two Celestial Destiny Realm disciples instantly ending up like this still instilled a primal fear.
However, Cultivator Shen Yu smiled at Cyan Simurgh and said, "Don't worry, people of the Demon Dao don't need any pity. Once you return, prepare yourself well; there will certainly be a spot for you in the small world breakthrough quota."
"Just so," Taihe Earth Immortal also displayed a kind smile, "Cyan Simurgh, you are the most outstanding disciple of the next generation in our Star River Immortal Sect, and your reputation precedes you. After your breakthrough, make sure to keep moving and spreading the word."
Cultivator Shen Yu had already discussed with them beforehand; he intended to unite many Orthodox Immortal Sects, gather strength, and eliminate the Demon Dao in the shortest time possible.
And in the early stages, not wanting to cause too much commotion, the best approach was naturally to discreetly visit each one.
With such a successful breakthrough example, there was no fear of disbelief, nor was there a need for Cultivator Shen Yu to prove himself each time.
At this moment, Cyan Simurgh finally breathed a little easier, and with the pressure relieved, she couldn't help but feel somewhat excited.
Longevity True Immortal!
Even if one were the reincarnation of an Earth Immortal, only upon regaining the True Immortal Dao Fruit in this lifetime would they truly be standing tall again.
Otherwise, they could not escape the damage from the enigma of reincarnation on their self-awareness.
"There's one more thing. Since everyone is here, let's discuss it now," Cultivator Shen Yu once again turned to the numerous Earth Immortals and spoke of the matter at hand, "There is an Otherworld, the source of the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life different from cultivation, whose association members have sent me a request for assistance, hoping we might send some Earth Immortals, True Masters, to help them through their tribulations and rescue the Human Dao."
"This..." The reactions of the many Earth Immortals varied.
Some were very happy, even pleasantly surprised, with a clear sense of anticipation.
Others had obvious concerns, a sense of caution.
And some were calmly contemplating.
Cultivator Shen Yu had anticipated this situation.
To these cultivators, other worlds might not hold great attraction; they hadn't even fully developed their own world.
As for the Extraordinary Paths of other worlds, there was even less allure.
Most cultivators were proud of cultivation.
This path stretches endlessly forward, and even at the level of Earth Immortals, the end isn't in sight, so why would they be interested in other extraordinary paths?
Even those Earth Immortals who were surprised and expectant didn't care about the other world itself; they were more interested in having a chance to further connect with the association.
In such a scenario, being able to go to another world and meet members of the other world naturally breeds expectations.
After all, just the tip of the iceberg seen from Cultivator Shen Yu was already immensely powerful.
Everyone wanted to know just how vast, mysterious, and magnificent the iceberg beneath the surface was.
After scanning the room once more, Cultivator Shen Yu spoke again, "Although aiding each other during apocalyptic disasters is one of the principles of the association, a world unilaterally helping another naturally won't leave you helping for nothing. I've already made arrangements - everyone who participates will, in the future, receive assistance from the association's power to overcome a hurdle during their breakthrough."
At the start, the strong Earth Immortals didn't have much reaction.
But by the end, those cultivators who had witnessed how Cultivator Shen Yu helped Qingfeng True Master overcome a "hurdle" were genuinely surprised and even excited.
The breakthrough process, any sudden situation that might cause failure, is called a hurdle.
Such hurdles can occur at any time during the breakthrough process.
Every occurrence almost signifies failed breakthrough!
Numerous resources and elixirs are prepared to increase the chances of overcoming these hurdles.
However, no matter how potent the elixirs or resources, they can only increase the likelihood.
They cannot guarantee certain success.
But the association can!
This fact was thoroughly validated during Qingfeng True Master's previous breakthrough.
Before their eyes, throughout Qingfeng True Master's entire breakthrough process, no fewer than ten failures occurred!
Yet each failure was successfully resolved with a mere touch from Cultivator Shen Yu.
It can be said that the breakthrough, which originally should have completely failed, was forcefully accomplished by the powerful methods of Cultivator Shen Yu and the association!
