Chapter 184 The World Is In Turmoil, But There Is A Big Fight
In the ancient Heavenly Court, spanning across the Eight Wildernesses, it was not only strength that prevailed, but also the presence of heavenly destiny.
Heavenly destiny refers to the authority to act on behalf of the heavens.
In the past, the Emperor of the Heavenly Court had the power to decide life and death with a single word, causing the heavens and earth to change color. His words were followed by the law, and he upheld the principles of the heavens, possessing immense authority.
However, the ways of heaven are constant, while the hearts of people are fickle. Not every Emperor could fulfill their duties perfectly, ultimately leading to great upheaval, the fall of celestial officials, and the eventual collapse of the ancient Heavenly Court.
After experiencing a great calamity, the world was once again reenacted, resulting in its current state.
With the conclusion of the ancient era, heavenly destiny was taken back by the ways of heaven. From then on, the realms of immortals and demons were separated from the mortal world. Only by ascending to immortality or falling into demonic cultivation could one enter the present world, where the path of humanity flourished.
Following this, conflicts between nations arose, and the unity of their ancestors was lost.
However, just now, the Old Tree Granny clearly sensed a trace of the unique heavenly destiny from the ancient Heavenly Court era.
After countless years, she couldn't remember how many seasons had passed. Coming into contact with the familiar aura once again, she couldn't help but feel excited.
Until deeper within the secret realm, a voice, old and steady, came forth: "The world has changed, and the past is long gone. The cycle of the world repeats itself, and what is gone will forever be gone. We, the elderly, have lived for so many years. Old Tree Granny, why do you still dwell on the past? Rest, rest, find peace and contentment."
Upon hearing these words, the Old Tree Granny's excited heart calmed down. The towering ancient tree that had been swaying gently regained its tranquility. "Jin Ye is right. Even if heavenly destiny returns and this realm reenters the ancient era, we are still remnants of the old times. The past cannot be held onto. Rest, rest, let us guard this small corner of the world and live our lives peacefully on our own paths."
Grandpa Jin laughed heartily, "That's right, that's right, especially since we still have children like Daiyu to take care of. Why bother getting involved in the troubled waters of the outside world?"
These two ancient beings, facing the reality that this era is no longer theirs, fell into silence once again.
Daiyu and the other spirits who sought refuge with the Tree Granny were confused and didn't understand what the two elders were talking about. However, in the peaceful aura of the Tree Granny, they gradually calmed down and regained their liveliness and playfulness.
It seemed as if everything here was tranquil and peaceful.
...
Unlike the broad-minded Tree Granny and Grandpa Jin, the reaction of some individuals in the outside world to the occurrence of the Heavenly Dao's resonance was much more complicated.
Almost all cultivators who had reached a certain level sensed the fleeting fluctuation of the Heavenly Heart.
In the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty, the venerable and virtuous teacher of the Taiping Dao, who was performing a rain-summoning ritual, paused and looked up at the sky with a deep expression.
The Dao disciple assisting him, seeing the teacher stop, had no choice but to interrupt the prepared spell and asked, "Master, is something wrong with the Rain Master?"
However, the venerable teacher responded absentmindedly, "It's useless, useless. No wonder it's useless. It turns out that the heavens are already dead, and the world is in turmoil..."
"Master, what do you mean?" The disciple was completely confused.
But the venerable teacher laughed heartily, a laugh that was extremely sinister yet seemed to be filled with tears, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is. The world should have changed long ago, but we only closed our eyes and ears, following the old path, unaware that the road ahead is already a cliff... What a great immortal dynasty, hiding it so well!"
Immediately, he raised his head, his teeth clenched, and said to the Daoist disciple, "Go, gather the disciples, I have important matters to discuss!"
The Daoist disciple was somewhat afraid of the reaction of the great sage and teacher. With an order, he conveniently had an excuse to leave and quickly went to deliver the command.
In the same Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, the emperor was originally resting with his eyes closed. The palace orchestra below was playing soothing music, and beautiful dancers were performing gentle dances to help the emperor rest.
Unexpectedly, a faint thunderous sound exploded in his mind, and the emperor suddenly woke up, his face changing drastically. "Oh no, the secret is out! Quickly summon the court officials!"
Outside the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, in the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty, the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, the Tianjian Emperor Dynasty, and many other countries, as long as they were not foolish and incompetent, they all received ominous signs at this time and began to gather their trusted aides with a grim expression.
Similarly, those with profound cultivation like the great sage and teacher also received signs of great changes and were in a state of panic.
In the mortal world, the hidden undercurrents that were already surging became even more turbulent.
Not only in the mortal world, but the cultivation world was also not faring well.
"How could this happen? Why is it happening at this time?" The Lord of the Langhuan Heavenly Palace woke up from his seclusion, full of astonishment and doubt, his face filled with incredulity.
"Although I had anticipated it early on, I didn't expect to receive confirmation at this moment. I don't know why I couldn't calculate the opportunity!" On the observation deck of the Yujing Tower, the old man who claimed to be the number one in calculations in the world realized his past arrogance and conceit.
In the Yuwang Sect, Xiong Ye, who was lecturing his disciples, felt a surge of blood in his heart, unable to understand. But then he received a transmission from a senior who was in seclusion, and when he heard the assertion that "the era of great strife has come," he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time...
Each person has a different reaction upon learning the signs, while those who have not reached that level remain oblivious. No one knows that the cruelest era is about to descend upon Dongxuan Heaven.
No one could have imagined that the information, which should have been controlled by the rulers of various countries as part of their national destiny, was accidentally leaked by a young girl and her boyfriend while fooling around.
If Chu Shen were to learn of this, he would surely question the background of his fiancée.
Unfortunately, he is unaware, so he continues his joyful reunion with Cheng Suwei.
After a sweet exchange of words, the two of them visit the concubines of the Chu family and their children.
It is evident that Cheng Suwei is fond of the children, and she secretly whispers in Chu Shen's ear that she wants to have a child of her own to play with.
Unfortunately, such words can only be said for now, as it is currently impossible.
The rules of Yujing Terrace are very strict, with demanding requirements for many techniques. The prerequisite for learning is to not leak Yuan Yang/Yuan Yin. If she were to become pregnant and give birth to a child at this time, Yujing Terrace might protest against Langxuan Heaven Palace, accusing them of ruining the foundation of a future disciple of Yujing Terrace.
He wouldn't provoke such a situation.
However, after a long-awaited reunion and companionship, their relationship has progressed rapidly. If it weren't for the upcoming grand competition of Langxuan Heaven Palace, they would probably find it hard to part from each other.
Chu Shen naturally has to participate in the competition, and Cheng Suwei finally has to return to the team of Yujing Terrace. With the convergence of various individuals, the atmosphere is tense at the ancient arena site of the Lingqi Peak, where the competition is being held.
The scene is still lively, but many people are unaware that the importance of events like the Langxuan Heaven Palace grand competition has already decreased significantly due to the previous celestial signs. Explosive news is gradually erupting throughout Dongxuan Heaven.
