Calamity of Tomorrow

Watching Zhou Bai diligently cultivating, Xuan Nu first tidied up the room quietly on one side, then sat silently by the bed, observing Zhou Bai's cultivation process.

Just by being with Zhou Bai, accompanying him, even without exchanging words, her eyes were already filled with a sense of happiness.

However, considering the current situation, Xuan Nu couldn't help but speak, "Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai?"

Under the covers, Zhou Bai responded, "Hmm?"

Xuan Nu: "Zhou Bai, are you awake?"

Zhou Bai replied irately, "I've told you several times, I'm not lying in bed sleeping, I'm cultivating."

"Oh~ oh~" Xuan Nu lowered her head slightly embarrassed, "By the way… you haven't given me any Power of Deformation for a long time."

Hearing Xuan Nu's request, Zhou Bai's heart shook, and he immediately turned his back, pretending to be dead, thinking: 'Xuan Nu might betray me at any moment, and as the savior and future ruler of this world, I shouldn't strengthen her any further.'

Xuan Nu, seeing Zhou Bai's lack of response, couldn't help but say again, "Zhou Bai, I feel I've gotten a bit stronger lately, how about giving me some more?"

Zhou Bai immediately said with an exhausted look, "Sigh, cultivation has been too tiring recently. I feel so worn out, I'm going to sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Xuan Nu: "...Zhou Bai, is it that you don't want to give it to me?"

Beneath the covers, Zhou Bai opened his eyes, a trace of helplessness flickering in them, thinking: 'If I keep refusing, I might create a rift with Xuan Nu, maybe I should give a little?'

He reconsidered and thought: 'Besides, I'm about to battle the Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Demons, the stronger Xuan Nu is, the more help she will be.'

'Thinking this way…'

Under Xuan Nu's persistent persuasion, Zhou Bai finally gave her some Power of Deformation.

Bang! Xuan Nu collapsed onto the bed, her long hair gracefully cascading down, her cheeks flushed as she said, "Phew~ comfortable, I feel my body and abilities have grown stronger."

Zhou Bai, with his head under the covers, lay on the other side, saying dejectedly, "Alright, I need to focus seriously on my closed-door training, don't disturb me if it's not necessary."

On the bed, Xuan Nu obediently nodded, turned around, tilting her head to look at Zhou Bai's back, her face and eyes filled with a smile.

She lay still like this for more than two hours, savoring the feeling of having Zhou Bai by her side.

Suddenly, a ripple passed through Xuan Nu's eyes: 'It should be almost there, right?'

At this moment, several kilometers away in a valley beyond Donghua City, an avatar of Xuan Nu walked through a forest, raising her head to see floating palaces in the distant sky, the Heavenly Palace above Central City.

"About to reach Central City, need to think of a way to sneak in."

Looking at the golden palaces floating in the sky, Xuan Nu's lips curled slightly: "Once inside Central City, I'll hide temporarily, my identity is too sensitive, if discovered as a Deformed Body, I'll definitely be captured."

"I wonder where Zhou Bai is."

On the other side, Zhou Bai was naturally unaware that Xuan Nu had secretly sent an avatar to Central City without telling him.

To achieve his goals, Zhou Bai had been working harder than ever to enhance his strength, almost spending 24 hours a day lying on the bed.

Were it not for his profound cultivation and robust physique, an ordinary person lying like this for 24 hours without interruption would likely have developed many illnesses by now.

The results of his arduous cultivation were gratifying, as Zhou Bai's Daoist martial skills advanced rapidly through daily practice, making him stronger each day than the last.

As the days passed, it quickly neared forty days later, and the grand wedding was just over a week away.

After pointing out the last Star Point Disaster on the mad chart, Zhou Bai temporarily had no need for Lazy Points.

So during these forty days, he merely had the Deformed Shadow sell Heavenly Demon Materials at the Heavenly Demon base, without spending much effort earning Lazy Points himself.

Yet even so, by now he had accumulated thirty million Lazy Points.

And at this moment on the bed, Zhou Bai lay multitasking, cultivating Daoism while creating the seeds of madness.

He spread his palm open, watching little bits of black mud slowly coalesce, gradually transforming into the shape of madness seeds.

Soon, a seed of madness dropped from his hand, bouncing into a bottle in the room's corner, joining the others he had produced.

Every day Xuan Nu would directly take these seeds of madness and distribute them, offering the Longevity Dao Fruits to Yuanshi Tianzun's followers, consistently increasing the number of adherents.

Because of the miraculous power of Yuanshi Tianzun's to draw Power of Deformation, preventing madness and deformation, the expansion speed of adherents in Donghua City during this era was extremely rapid; more and more people desired the Longevity Dao Fruits, hoping for Yuanshi Tianzun's protection.

In just under two months, thanks to the emergence of the Longevity Dao Fruits, countless overt and covert struggles arose within Donghua City as various cultivators and civilians fought to obtain the fruits, although all were eventually settled by Xuan Nu.

Relying on her identity as the holy maiden of Yuanshi Tianzun, combined with abilities like avatar, teleportation, and flesh control as Deformation, Xuan Nu easily managed the entire original sect, establishing comprehensive doctrines, rules, and hierarchies, and unknowingly gained an extremely high prestige within the sect.

Even Jing Xiu, Xia Li, and other students of Donghua Dao School, who initially were wary of her, gradually became tightly knit with her, growing increasingly close.

By now, over a hundred thousand people in Donghua City had become Zhou Bai's adherents, providing him with massive pollution levels and pollution storage sites.

Zhou Bai could extract vast amounts of pollution or temporarily split massive pollution into numerous small portions, storing them temporarily within these adherents.

The number of cultivators granted the Face Suppression ability had grown to 200.

After being bestowed with the Face Suppression ability, their cultivation and aptitude skyrocketed as long as they stayed near Xuan Nu, progressing rapidly each day.

They didn't have to worry about the threat of deformation, as Zhou Bai extracted pollution levels for them daily.

Those cultivators, who had never enjoyed such treatment, almost addicted themselves to relentless cultivation, fearing they'd lose this terrifying aptitude by the next day.

Meanwhile, on Zhou Bai's body, the aura of twenty-one apertures rose, streaks of lightning surged back and forth, enhancing and penetrating into the twenty-first aperture, releasing incredibly tumultuous powers.

Occasionally, flashes of Thunder Fire flickered across his body as he cultivated the Supreme Mysterious Divine Thunder Breath, opening new apertures.

Xuan Nu sat aside, hands supporting her chin, engrossed in watching Zhou Bai on the bed, also providing Face Suppression bonuses for Zhou Bai.
