Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 845 - 843: Blocking and Preparations
In front of the conference table, the gods of the Plague Department listened to Yan Zhenjun's report, each with their own expression.
A boy who appeared to be about five or six years old, with two pigtails tied on his head, said, "What do you mean by shielding? How do you plan to shield? Xiao Yan, explain it to me properly."
Seeing this child, Yan Zhenjun's face was extremely respectful, because this childlike figure was one of the three Heavenly Monarchs of the Plague Department, known as the Du Xing Heavenly Monarch, who was said to have mastered the most Twilight Taoist Skills, aside from Si Yi and Bao Bing.
'Already lived for tens of thousands of years yet still pretends to be a child every day, truly the cultivation of Twilight Taoist Skills has twisted his psyche.'
In his heart, Yan Zhenjun secretly complained, but his face remained immensely respectful as he said, "Use a magical artifact to replace vision and hearing to receive information, leaving restrictions in the artifact beforehand to replace all keywords."
Si Yi Heavenly Monarch crossed his long legs on the table, and said casually, "You've already made a finished product, right? Take it out and show everyone."
Yan Zhenjun nodded, took out a Jade Pendant and said, "This is a one-realm magical artifact I made, which can connect to Primordial Spirit power within a range, temporarily replacing vision and hearing, and replace any prohibited words seen or heard. Its own power is not strong, so it can be broken anytime with Primordial Spirit power."
"I suggest equipping all immortals and gods with this artifact so that we are not afraid of all abilities Zhou Bai relies on using language and writing to trigger."
As he spoke, Yan Zhenjun activated the Primordial Spirit power, an invisible force spread over the gods present, they did not resist, allowing this power to connect to their own Primordial Spirit power.
Instantly, their vision and hearing were replaced by the world perceived by the Jade Pendant, and the gods curiously looked around. Si Yi Heavenly Monarch frowned, "This looks a bit blurry."
Yan Zhenjun said honestly, "After all, it is a one-realm magical artifact, naturally, it still can't match our own insight."
Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch said, "No problem, this thing isn't difficult to make, we can upgrade it ourselves. The key is to promote it so that not only immortals and gods, but mortals can also be equipped with it, allowing ordinary cultivators to have the power to fight Zhou Bai."
The gods of the Plague Department continued to discuss improvements to the shielding artifact when suddenly a voice broke through layers of restrictions and entered the conference room.
"The Heavenly Venerate and I have decided to arrange a marriage with Ming Yue. The identity of that person will remain confidential for now, but the wedding will take place in three months. Time is short, with many preparations needed. All four departments must contribute, here are the tasks for the Plague Department."
After the Heavenly Emperor's voice disappeared, an edict had already pierced the void and floated above everyone's heads.
A god of the Plague Department exclaimed, "What? Someone is going to marry Ming Yue?"
Another god of the Plague Department said, "Wait, what kind of wedding requires all four departments of the Heavenly Palace to organize together?"
"A wedding that needs all four departments to organize? Why is that?"
Another immortal said, "Could it be that someone has become an immortal?"
On the side, Yan Zhen was equally surprised and felt extremely strange: "Someone is going to marry Ming Yue? And we need to help prepare? ... Truly baffling."
"What are the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Venerate planning to do? That they would let all four departments jointly organize a wedding? What does it mean?"
"I wonder if Tanlang knows about this, I'll ask him after the meeting ends."
Tanlang Zhenjun and Yan Zhenjun were both defeated by Zhou Bai last time, being defeated together in public by a single move from Zhou Bai.
This defeat made the two somewhat unable to lift their heads in front of other immortals recently, harboring both hatred and anger towards Zhou Bai, with a bit of fear too.
The two met privately and grumbled about their resentment, cursing Zhou Bai together, and their relationship improved significantly.
They originally planned to find Xiang Tiandi to chat, but were directly kicked out by him. They couldn't establish an organization like the 'Zhou Bai Victim Gods Association.'
On the other side, the news of the grand wedding wasn't only known by the Plague Department gods. As the Heavenly Emperor's voice broke through countless arrays and restrictions, the wedding news rapidly spread among the gods of all four departments of the Heavenly Palace, like a typhoon sweeping through, immediately sparking various discussions among the gods.
Of course, the preparations were merely giving commands and orders by the gods, most of their time was still spent on recovering their cultivation, with troublesome and hard tasks naturally entrusted to the cultivators of the Heavenly Palace.
...
Xiang Tiandi furrowed his brows, puzzled, as he looked at the Jiu Xiao Marshal in front of him, "The Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Venerate have decided to have someone marry Ming Yue? And want the gods of all four departments of the Heavenly Palace to help organize, preparing this wedding with the highest standards?"
Xiang Tiandi felt that the news was eerie from start to finish: "Who exactly is going to marry Ming Yue? And why do we have to help prepare the wedding?!"
The Jiu Xiao Marshal said, "There's something very strange about this. As far as I know, the Heavenly Emperor would never make such a decision. I went to see the Heavenly Emperor with Xun Tian and Pi Li, but we were turned away."
"I worry that something has happened with the Heavenly Emperor."
"We still need to prepare in advance."
The Xun Tian Marshal, Pi Li Marshal, along with Jiu Xiao Marshal and Xiang Tiandi, the Sweeping Demon Marshal, are the four major marshals of the Thunder Department, and have been the main force in the Heavenly Palace's battles against the Heavenly Demons over the years.
Xiang Tiandi clenched his fists, seeing bolts of electric light emerging, "When can I go out?"
The Jiu Xiao Marshal asked, "How long will it take for you to recover your cultivation, or break through the 140% Dao Transformation level?"
Xiang Tiandi squinted his eyes, his tone calming down, "At most two months, and I can break through 140%. As for the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique... I won't need it anymore."
"All immortals and gods are making the most of their time to cultivate algorithms and restore cultivation, we cannot relax." The Jiu Xiao Marshal nodded satisfactorily, "Wait until your Dao Transformation level breaks through 140% before coming out. I know what you want, we will find Zhou Bai's whereabouts during this time, and once you're out, capture him back to the Heavenly Palace."
Xiang Tiandi closed his eyes, his tone ethereal, "I couldn't ask for more."
...
Currently, Zhou Bai (Twisted Shadow) was on Wanxian Island, unaware that the Heavenly Emperor had already informed the four departments of gods about the wedding.
At this moment, he was contemplating how to receive the benefits promised by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Zhou Bai first reviewed the content of their last conversation, and finally thought to himself: 'The last conversation ended with me losing wisdom three times, suggesting that the things I was promised at the end might all be fake.'
'Even if some are true, if they are fulfilled after the wedding, I wouldn't get anything.'
Zhou Bai stroked his chin, 'I'll have to find a way to redeem these things sooner. And with regards to Zuo Dao, I need to find an opportunity to leave Wanxian Island to look for him.'
