Fortunately, it was
After all, although the Danxiao Ancient Sect was powerful, it ultimately couldn't compare to the Myriad Heavens of Jiang Chen's previous life.
Jiang Chen's knowledge system from his past life still far surpassed that of the Danxiao Ancient Sect.
Therefore, when Jiang Chen was comprehending the Danxiao Ancient Sect's formations, he didn't encounter any difficulties. Even when the occasional challenge arose, he didn't need to meditate on it at all — a brief moment of thought was enough for him to grasp it completely.
This advantage made Jiang Chen feel like a fish in water.
Had any other young person from the Shenyuan Continent — even the most talented genius from the Upper Eight Domains — entered this place and wanted to fully master the legacy of the Danxiao Ancient Sect, it would take at least thirty to fifty years, if not a full century.
And yet, Jiang Chen was qualified to accomplish it within three years.
Because his knowledge system was powerful, and he stood at a far greater height.
To use an analogy, it was like giving someone with the vision of a Titled Emperor the task of comprehending a Saint-level cultivation technique — naturally, there would be no difficulty whatsoever.
But if someone with the vision of an Origin Realm expert tried to comprehend a Saint-level technique, the difficulty would be immense.
In this life, Jiang Chen's cultivation resources couldn't compare to those top-tier geniuses, nor could his physical constitution or foundational training from childhood.
But the memories of his past life were an unparalleled advantage — one that no genius could hope to match.
The Myriad Phenomena Domain had been quite lively recently.
And the focal point of all the commotion was the Three Stars Sect.
Approximately three months ago, strange events had begun occurring one after another at the Three Stars Sect.
One day, an elder who had been in secluded cultivation for decades was suddenly and inexplicably struck down by a bolt of heavenly lightning, his physical body burned to a charred husk.
A few days later, countless meteorites rained down upon the Three Stars Sect's mountain gate, shattering it to pieces.
Even more dramatically, a few days after that, when the upper echelons of the Three Stars Sect had gathered in the Three Stars Grand Hall for a meeting, countless arcs of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, hammering into the hall like a torrential downpour.
On the spot, a full third of the leadership was killed by the lightning tribulation!
Had the Three Stars Sect Master,
In the days that followed, various manifestations of the Heavenly and Earthly Judgment descended upon the Three Stars Sect almost every few days, striking without cease, and the protective formations throughout the mountain gate were broken open one after another.
The death toll among the Three Stars Sect's leaders and geniuses continued to mount.
At that point, everyone in the entire Three Stars Sect was living in fear, unsure which deity they had managed to offend to bring such continuous Heavenly and Earthly Judgment upon themselves.
Only the small number of people who had participated in the Huanbo Mountain alchemy tournament knew the truth — the Three Stars Sect had violated their Heavenly and Earthly Oaths and brought the judgment upon themselves!
Before long, the Three Stars Sect was gripped by panic, filled with suspicion and terror.
Some of the sect's prominent figures could no longer endure the atmosphere and secretly left their sect tokens behind, bidding farewell to the Three Stars Sect as they departed the mountain!
"Sect Master, I'm already advanced in years, and staying in the sect serves little purpose. Please allow me to take my leave. Even if you won't let me go, I'll slip away on my own later."
"Sect Master, what exactly did you do? How could our Three Stars Sect suddenly be subjected to the Heavenly and Earthly Judgment? Did you make some Heavenly and Earthly Oath at Huanbo Mountain and then fail to honor it?"
"That's right, Sect Master — you owe everyone an explanation! Otherwise, in order to save our own lives, we'll have no choice but to leave the sect and join another."
"Exactly — who can endure this happening every few days? How are we supposed to cultivate when we're living in constant fear? Any day now, one of us could be struck down by lightning."
"That's right — what's the point of staying in the sect when we're this terrified? We'd be better off as rogue cultivators."
Before Zhu Changsheng, the sect elders gathered one by one, demanding answers.
Zhu Changsheng and Elder Tanlang were suffering in silence, unable to voice their grievances.
They knew perfectly well where the problem lay — but could they say it?
Just as Zhu Changsheng was hemming and hawing, searching for some noble-sounding excuse to brush them off, the rumble of thunder echoed once more from beyond the mountain gate.
The entire Three Stars Sect shook violently once more!
Boom! Boom!
The entire sect seemed on the verge of collapse, as though it could crumble at any moment.
Not long after, someone rushed over in a panic: "Sect Master, it's terrible! Langyue Mountain has been struck by lightning arcs — many of the sect's top geniuses have been killed or injured!"
Langyue Mountain in the Three Stars Sect was equivalent to Danxia Valley in the Danqian Palace — only talents of the Origin Realm caliber were qualified to reside there.
This included top-tier geniuses of
During this period, as the Three Stars Sect endured one calamity after another, Zhu Changsheng had been constantly praying that the Heavenly and Earthly Judgment would pass quickly.
But now, judging by the way things were going, this Heavenly and Earthly Judgment showed no signs of stopping at all.
