Immortal Father

"Hurry up, let’s go and see what’s happening!"

Guilingling cried out, grabbing Qing Su and rushing after the immortal who had just flown by.

They chased all the way to a teahouse in the east part of Dong’an City, where the storyteller had paused his passionate narration to focus on the newly arrived True Immortal.

The True Immortal shouted, "Fellow Daoists! Everyone! The Heavenly Court is soon going to establish the Immortal Ascension Tribulation and the Longevity Golden Immortal Calamity! From now on, one cannot become immortal arbitrarily, and one cannot strive for the Longevity Golden Immortal either!"

"Nonsense!"

Immediately, an old immortal rebutted,

"The Heavenly Court is our Human Race’s Heavenly Court, how could it act in such a way to undermine our Human Race’s Qi Cultivators’ foundation?"

"It’s really not this Poor Daoist talking nonsense, this kind of thing is being rumored everywhere on earth! Moreover, it’s not just rumors; there are experts skilled at calculation who have already deduced it. The Longevity Golden Immortal Calamity comes first, followed by the Immortal Ascension Tribulation!"

"To become an immortal, one must be struck by heavenly lightning, roasted by heavenly fire, and pass through their own Heart Demon!"

"To strive for the Longevity Golden Immortal is truly a nine-in-ten chance of death! It’s no longer about attaining a breakthrough as a natural progression after gaining insight!"

"Ah?"

"Is this truly the case?"

"Oh dear! This Poor Daoist is not speaking in vain; if you don’t believe it, go find a Heavenly Immortal summit expert who excels at calculation and let them verify!"

"No need to search, this Poor Daoist is skilled at deduction myself!"

An elder in the corner frowned and appeared, dissipating the concealment around him, revealing a near-complete Heavenly Immortal realm Dao Charm, and took several ancient coins from his sleeve, arranging them meticulously before continuously forming hand seals.

The power of the Heavenly Dao emerged, and the ancient coins began to float on their own.

The elder’s expression suddenly changed, he lowered his head and coughed up blood, his aura scattered with some turmoil, lifting his head in shock towards the immortals all around.

"It’s true! The Heavenly Dao has already displayed the rules of the Longevity Golden Immortal Calamity, and these rules are becoming clearer and more explicit, soon any Heavenly Immortal will be able to compute this calamity!"

"Those with flaws in their Dao Foundation, unstable Dao Realm, or burdened by karmic hindrances, are very likely to perish in the heavenly tribulation!"

"According to this criterion, originally capable of becoming Golden Immortals, six or seven out of ten will die in the heavenly tribulation!"

The teahouse immediately erupted into chaos.

"How could the Heavenly Court do this!"

"Exactly! The Heavenly Emperor has become a supreme Daluo Golden Immortal, but we are still merely True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals!"

"This Poor Daoist is even worse off; not even an immortal yet, and if becoming an immortal requires enduring heavenly tribulation, then this Poor Daoist will have to... suffer tremendously! Quick, return to seclusion!"

"What kind of situation is this, you say!"

"Let’s go find the Heavenly Court for an explanation!"

"Do not make rash moves! This matter should first be inquired at the local inspectorate, which is now under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. If you go directly to the four great celestial gates of the Heavenly Court, wouldn’t that be causing trouble for His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor?"

"Everyone calm down, this is merely manifested by the Heavenly Dao, it hasn’t actually arrived yet."

"Once these rules are officially enacted, it will be too late! What are we cultivating for? Is it not for longevity and peace? Who among us doesn’t have disciples, friends, or family who haven’t yet become immortal? The Heavenly Court is cutting off our path of cultivation! How could we accept this!"

"This is worse than the Ancient Heavenly Court!"

A group of immortals grew more agitated as they spoke.

And such news spread like wildfire, in just Dong’an City alone, dozens of areas have erupted into turmoil simultaneously.

If one looks at the entire East Continent, the speed at which this message disseminates is ten, or even dozens, of times faster than the previous ’Not Mentioning the Great Immortal’ incident.

The ’Not Mentioning the Great Immortal’ was after all vigorously pushed by Li Dazhi from the shadows;

While the heavenly tribulation matter has already stepped on the tails of the Human Race’s Qi Cultivators.

Public opinion in the East Continent exploded directly.

Qing Su and Guilingling exchanged glances and, with some tacit understanding, headed towards the Casting Cloud Sect.

Returning to the Heavenly Court now is useless, the Heavenly Court must already be aware of all that has transpired here.

Two hours later.

In the main hall of the Casting Cloud Sect, Qing Su and Linghua were seated at the head, as one Jade Talisman after another flew in from various places, continuously compiling information through the sect’s numerous stores.

"The news spread so quickly."

Guiling pursed her lips, threw the Jade Talisman in her hand aside, and raised her hand to rub her forehead:

"The Heavenly Dao’s reaction is also somewhat peculiar.

"Logically, with such immense resentment from creatures, the Heavenly Dao should comply with the beings or temporarily obscure this matter.

"But now the Heavenly Dao is instead making this issue increasingly clear; Heavenly Immortals can freely calculate it, and the details of both the Immortal Ascension Tribulation and the Longevity Calamity have emerged.

"This clearly shows that the Heavenly Dao doesn’t care about the beings’ responses, no wonder the Human Race’s Qi Cultivators are going berserk."

Qing Su seemed quite composed, taking a sip of tea and softly asked, "The Qi Cultivators are still gathering everywhere?"

Linghua sighed, "According to the reports from our shops, there are already over twenty gathering points for Qi Cultivators, numerous major sects have started to take action, fearing that they will eventually form over twenty groups of more than ten thousand, even hundreds of thousands of Qi Cultivators."

"They are definitely going to the East Celestial Gate and the South Celestial Gate."

Guilingling said:

"In this manner, if they all squeeze up together, the Heavenly Court will surely encounter huge issues.

"Moreover, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals must also be unsettled now, as cultivation is the primary concern for every creature of the Primordial World."

Qing Su nodded slightly, her eyes showing some contemplation.

An elder sighed, "This matter is difficult to handle, the Heavenly Court should immediately announce to the outside that this issue is not being driven by the Heavenly Court."

Elder Yansheng clicked his tobacco pipe twice and said softly:

"The Heavenly Court cannot say such a thing, as the Heavenly Court is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao; every move of the Heavenly Dao is closely related to the Heavenly Court, naturally, the Heavenly Court did not instigate this matter, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor would never do such a thing.

"It could be the Queen Mother.

"Or the Saint who has just had their prestige eroded."

The immortals exchanged glances, each pondering silently.

Linghua asked, "Qing Su, do you have any ingenious solutions to help the Heavenly Court respond to this situation?"
