This sword strike was executed without force; it was merely as if the sword was raised and then lightly lowered.

The sword energy was not particularly powerful; initially, it was just a small, dark fluctuation that passed through space.

However, the further away the sword energy went, the larger it spread.

When it reached a distance of tens of millions of meters, it developed into a violent eruption powerful enough to tear apart the entire realm.

When it touched the calamity, it tore the dark purple calamity apart like a chainsaw, splitting it into countless small pieces from the tail end, which were then gradually consumed by the death energy sent by Xi Heng.

Xi Heng stepped forward and, with the application of spatial magic, immediately arrived at the edge of the realm affected by the calamity.

Although the external calamity was shattered, the turmoil within the realm has not yet subsided.

She then summoned another floating city of deathly energy, which stood beside the boundary.

Countless doors opened one after another, summoning an army of undead to form a fleet of skeletons, which flew into the rift between realms.

Use legions to quell the calamities within the realm.

Xi Heng had estimated the intensity of the calamity within the realm, and a dead city would be more than enough to reduce it.

She nodded: "Let the dead city remain here and operate on its own... let it serve as an outpost to defend the sect's territory."

Xi Heng conjured a special death aura, edited it briefly, and projected it toward the floating death aura city.

There is a logical rule within this deathly aura—that is, deathly calamities can only be directed at other calamities and great grievances. If a cultivator from the Pure Fire Sect mistakenly believes that the two sides are hostile and attacks, then only a warning will be issued and no attack or annihilation will be carried out.

She teleported again, returning to the other floating city that was currently dispelling the calamity.

The deathly aura within the giant city continued to hum, and the chains slowly pulled the transmutation threads, shifting their angle.

At the same time, this immense force also triggered a counterattack from the calamity, which began to deliberately bend and crash into the dead city.

However, in the vast and desolate void, the opponent's speed was really not fast.

Xi Heng only needs to use a small amount of the power of time to accelerate the Death City, making it difficult for the Calamity to catch up.

While manipulating the device, she also sent her divine sense into the calamity's interior.

"Currently, there is still no consciousness in this small area of ​​calamity; they act purely on instinct, like wild beasts..."

The purple lines of light in front of them were just small segments of tentacles projected outwards by the cataclysmic event, and would not attract much attention from the main body of the cataclysmic event.

Just as a human wouldn't notice pollen droplets catching on their long hair as they walk, or being disturbed by a fluttering butterfly...

For the main body of the calamity, what she is doing now is merely bending and waving a strand of hair, which has no impact on the overall situation.

As a result, everything went quite smoothly.

Two floating cities of deathly energy, one remaining beside the boundary rift, serving as a satellite to continuously erode the remaining catastrophic energy in the surrounding area.

The other one became a tractor, carrying dark purple threads to another location.

As time passed, the threads of calamity drifted further and further away from Xi Heng's Pure Fire Sect territory.

"The actual solution was easier than I imagined," the white-haired girl clapped her hands.

However, such calamities and misfortunes will not completely disappear.

Her cult of Purifying Fire will continue to expand, and the Void Calamity will continue to grow.

The troubles related to disasters will only increase in the future.

"If I have to personally intervene every time the sect encounters similar troubles in the future, it will have a huge impact on my secluded cultivation," Xi Heng muttered to himself.

However, even if only the external avatar is sent to patrol outside, a certain amount of consciousness will still be allocated, which will affect the cultivation that requires full concentration.

She shook her head.

There seem to be few ways to eliminate all obstacles to calamity without affecting one's cultivation.

One method is to directly assign a spiritual consciousness sufficient for autonomous action to the external avatar, making it a guardian of the Pure Fire Cult, constantly monitoring its progress.

If you encounter disasters or troubles, summon the City of Death, and resolve them peacefully as you have today.

However, this approach could have too many side effects, and might even cause the avatar to be corrupted by calamity—Xi Heng didn't want to fight his clone again.

"Or we could create a mechanical consciousness with rules as its core and leave it in the void to control the patrols of the dead city," Xi Heng suggested.

However, this approach lacks flexibility, and any logical error could lead to significant omissions...

"Fine, let's use the simplest method: just give the authority to use the floating city of death energy to the thousands of cultivators in the sect... and let the cultivators in the sect vote on how to operate it."

This way, they don't need to expend any of their energy to maintain it, and they can also solve the problems that the Purifying Fire Sect faces during its expansion.

After making his decision, Xi Heng returned to the space transfer station and was instantly teleported to the sky ten thousand meters above, adding another function to the overlapping array that served as the server for the Purifying Fire Interface—calling for the protection of the faith to float across the City of the Dead.

The instructions state that before its use, there must be a calamity as an enemy, a large number of monks in the church must agree, and the impact on ordinary living beings must be minimized as much as possible during its use.

After inscribing these three essentials, Xi Heng returned to the outer void and began to slowly set up a thousand floating cities of death energy on the edge of the void territory currently occupied by the Pure Fire Sect, as a defense against the calamity.

At the same time, the scene of the dead city reducing its calamity was also projected onto a program on the Purifying Fire interface for the millions of cultivators of the sect to watch.

Since the area controlled by the Pure Fire Sect is now quite vast, even using spatial techniques, it would take a considerable amount of time to circle around it.

Xi Heng kept teleporting, going to that place and returning to this place, constantly flashing in the void.

It took a hundred days to complete the arrangement of a thousand floating cities filled with death energy.

Thus, the realm that was originally infected by the calamity, with its dark purple calamities and bizarre beasts, has been completely cleaned up by the constant flow of death energy.

The girl looked around and nodded gently.

"It looks much cleaner than before."

Compared to the chaotic calamities of filth and transformation, death energy is a rather clean and pure power.

Wherever the gray-black aura flows, all beings of lower status will swiftly enter a single death, falling into eternal silence.

That realm had become a rather quiet place during this period.

Thus, the world before him was once again handed over to the cultivators of the sect below for governance and operation by Xi Heng.

He returned to the cultivation room in the blink of an eye, sat down on the futon, and continued to climb the spiral staircase constructed from his cultivation within the realm of cultivation imagery.

Step by step, always moving upward.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 423, Priorities and Urgencies

After Xi Heng himself took action and resolved the first mutated thread that approached the Pure Fire Sect, he succeeded.

Just five years later, the monks who were constantly preaching abroad encountered a second calamity.

The new calamity is crimson in color, originating from the filth.

It was more subtle and faint than the previous calamities.

It is no longer an extended strand of hair or a tentacle; it is more like a fragment separated from its original form.

Even though it's just a fragment, the power it contains already surpasses that of a typical Black Tide.

Furthermore, due to the corrosive nature of the Void Calamity, even the Nascent Soul cultivators at the upper levels of the Pure Fire Sect find it difficult to cope.

They had no choice but to rely on the floating city of death energy to fight against it.

When religious monks encounter calamity, they first gather intelligence, record images, and pinpoint coordinates and direction of advance.

After thoroughly investigating and refining this information, an application was submitted to call for the protection of the faith and the crossing of the dead city.

With the majority of cultivators voting in favor, the Pure Fire interface immediately displayed a live-stream-like scene of the event.

Then, the gray floating city, which was much larger than any ordinary realm and filled with a dense cluster of spires, arrived at its target location. It then opened all its doors, releasing a legion of billions of deathly beings, which transformed into a super-large fleet and crashed into the place of calamity.

Countless skeletal warships left gray-black trails as they pressed down on the calamity from the void.

Then, the deathly gray mist erupted repeatedly within it.

Each individual in the Death Aura Fleet possesses the power to unleash death aura, and every time they fight for a short while, they explode to create holes hundreds of meters long, wiping out the enemy's calamity.

Although the range of the burst in the void is not very large, the number is sufficient.

In just a few days, the bombardment of death energy devoured nearly half of the filthy fragments before them.

The millions of cultivators who were observing from the outside gradually gained a full impression of the powerful strength of the City of Death that protects the faith.

This first battle, a floating operation to cross the dead city, spontaneously orchestrated by the monks, was successfully completed in a short period of time.

After that, whenever they encountered minor calamities, the cultivators had ways to deal with them—therefore, the entire Pure Fire Sect became increasingly convinced that the Pure Fire Phoenix Lord could indeed save the world during the apocalypse.

With this testimony, the monks became even more active in missionary work.

In the following decade, the Pure Fire Cult expanded and grew significantly once again.

During this time, they encountered two more fragments of calamity, but their harm and intensity were generally average—after all, this place is on the outer edge of the void, and the truly powerful calamity entities are quite far away.

The Great Realm of Heaven, which attracts the most attention from the Great Calamity, has not yet declined, which makes it even more difficult for calamities to occur at the edge of the void.

With the help of numerous floating cities filled with death energy, the sect's cultivators were able to escape danger each time.

If one Death Starship is not enough, then another one will be brought in.

If all else fails, dozens of floating dead cities can be summoned to form a large starship fleet to confront the calamity.

As long as there is enough power, all the calamities and threats that follow can be eliminated.

The sect's expansion was unimpeded and continued for a long time.

……

Gradually, it became the 103rd year after the save file was loaded.

This period also marks the forty-seventh year since Xi Heng and Yin Wanluan ended their life in the mortal realm and began their full-time cultivation.

Today, the number of minor realms completely under the sect's control has exceeded ten thousand.

Even in mid-level realms like the Senluo Realm and the Xuanxiao Realm, which have Nascent Soul cultivators, there are still dozens that have joined the Pure Fire Sect.

Previously, most of these intermediate realms did not show any interest in getting closer to the Pure Fire Sect.

However, ever since the floating city of deathly energy appeared and was activated by the Pure Fire Cult cultivators, annihilating many fragments of calamity... the attitudes of these cultivators in the middle realms have undergone a reversal.

They became exceptionally sincere and generous, even taking the initiative to invite the monks of the Pure Fire Cult to their realm to spread their doctrines and conduct exchanges.

The power of wishes that these intermediate realms can provide to Xi Heng is more than ten times greater than that of ordinary minor realms.

If the population and number of cultivators are large, it could be dozens of times larger.

With such an abundant supply of aspiration power, Xi Heng can fully utilize his aspiration power to assist his spiritual practice at all times.

Furthermore, since the sect demonstrated its power to deal with calamities, certain distant realms that had not yet been touched by the sect somehow became aware of this and sent messages hoping that the sect would develop in those directions.

However, the expansion of a sect must be carried out gradually, and it is not advisable to make great strides when the foundation is not solid.

Countless flying ship fleets, like streaks of shooting stars, emerged from the dark void.

The entire void region occupied by the Pure Fire Sect was connected by countless flying boats into a giant net, each guarding its own territory and interconnected with the others.

Over time, this organization gradually developed into a powerful force in the void that could not be ignored, and became known to more and more cultivators in various realms, large and small.

Its reputation spread externally, and the sect also developed internally.

Within the Spirit Fire Space, ever since Xi Heng granted Yin Wanluan management and control permissions for the Purifying Fire Interface, he has frequently taken time out of his spare time to update the interface with more program functions.

Originally a platform for cultivators to exchange information and search for data, the Pure Fire Platform has now become a large and complex system with numerous functions.

As cultivators acquire this interface for the first time, they will unlock more and more functions as they hold it and accumulate contributions.

The accumulated contribution points can no longer be used only to exchange for spiritual power; in addition, cultivation techniques, goods, and other items are available for cultivators to choose from in the interface trading market.

The Pure Fire Cult is gradually perfecting its internal development, and if there are no external obstacles, it will surely occupy a significant position in the entire void in the future.

During a period of seclusion and cultivation one day, Xi Heng sensed that the sect had become quite large.

Some airship fleets have even begun to tentatively venture deeper into the upper part of the void—which is by no means a safe zone.

After thinking for a moment, she sent a divine message downwards—slow down the exploration and propagation in the middle of the void, and only continue to expand towards the periphery.

There are far too many troubles in the upper part of the void, not only are there several void calamities, but also many cultivator forces entrenched there.

Among those large cultivation forces, there are usually cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm who collect the power of vows.

If a sect's beliefs were to spread to that place, it might not only encounter widespread calamities, but also provoke hostility from the monks there.

Xi Heng only wanted to cultivate in seclusion and had no desire to engage in any real void war, so he limited his missionary work to the periphery.

The monks in the missionary fleet below were thus suddenly restricted, causing their efficiency to slow down slightly.
