Ethan and Lin Na left the council's headquarters feeling a sense of urgency. They knew that they needed to act quickly to prepare for the new threat to the immortal realm.
As they made their way back to their home, they discussed the information they had been given by Master Wu and the council. They knew very little about the nature of the threat, only that it was different from anything they had faced before.
"We need to gather more information," Ethan said, his brow furrowed in thought. "We need to know what we're up against if we're going to have any chance of stopping it."
Lin Na nodded her agreement, her expression equally serious. "But where do we start? We don't even know where this threat is coming from."
Ethan thought for a moment before replying. "We'll start by talking to the other cultivators. If there's anything new happening in the realm, they'll know about it."
Lin Na nodded, and they set off to speak with their fellow cultivators. As they moved from place to place, they listened carefully to the rumors and whispers that circulated among the cultivators.
Eventually, they heard about a powerful new sect that had arisen in the realm, one that was said to be more ruthless and destructive than any other before it.
Ethan and Lin Na exchanged worried glances. They knew that they had to investigate this new sect, and find out what they were planning.
Over the next few days, they gathered as much information as they could about the sect, speaking with other cultivators and studying ancient texts and scrolls.
What they learned filled them with dread. The new sect was indeed powerful, and they were planning an attack on the immortal realm that could potentially destroy everything.
Ethan and Lin Na knew that they had to act quickly. They gathered their closest allies, and together they began to plan their strategy.
They knew that they could not face the sect alone, and so they reached out to other powerful cultivators throughout the realm, hoping to gather a force strong enough to defeat the threat.
As they worked tirelessly to prepare for the coming battle, Ethan and Lin Na knew that the fate of the immortal realm rested on their shoulders.
They were determined to protect it at all costs, and they knew that they would need all of their skills and training to succeed.
