Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 710: Chapter 451: Visiting

“This…”

“What does this mean again?”

“That’s why I hate people who speak in riddles the most!”

“Yesterday’s cause, today’s effect; today’s cause, tomorrow’s effect?”

“Can some emotionally intelligent tycoon translate what they’re saying?”

“Taoist Man: Today, so many from Lingyun Mountain have failed in Crossing the Tribulation, all because you did not cultivate good fruits in the past, hence the tribulations. If you hold grudges and seek revenge, creating more karma and debts, even if I do not kill you today, tomorrow Tian will strike you down. So you understand what you should do, right?”

“If it were not for my intervention today, all of Lingyun Mountain would have been eradicated. If you still choose to cause trouble, then even if I do not punish you, Heaven will take you. Take care of yourself, understand?”

“Bald Guy: Understand, understand, crystal clear! I’ll definitely be honest from now on and dedicate myself to Slaughtering Demons and Guarding the Dao!”

“West King Xuanyuan: If you won’t speak to him about natural justice, then I’ll have to talk about retribution!”

Inside the live stream, although most of the comments were in jest, they dissected the situation accurately.

Back to the scene, the Taoist Man returned to the Mana Altar amidst a heavenly rain, and a golden light descended.

A light of virtue!

Witnessing this, the cultivators of Lingyun Mountain all showed complex expressions.

Today’s events, although resolved by Lingyun itself, didn’t give full merit to Lingyun Mountain. At best, they could only dissolve three parts of the tribulations; the remaining seven parts turned into this light of virtue, bestowed upon this man.

There’s nothing that could be done about it. Cause and effect, cause and effect; the resolution by Lingyun was just the result; the main cause was the compulsion from the others!

If it weren’t for their forceful hand and pressure, how would Lingyun Mountain willingly surrender its Blessed Land?

Hence, the virtue of the Blessed Land entering the world belongs only three parts to Lingyun Mountain, the rest all to this man.

This is the law of the Heavenly Dao and causality; some aspects may be rigid, but they are meticulously precise and absolutely fair.

The light of virtue settled on the body of the Taoist Man, and the heavenly rain approached its end, the grand spectacle was about to conclude.

Atop the Mana Altar, the Taoist Man did not speak much but waved his horsetail whisk, producing a mist that lifted the Mana Altar and all the Taoists into the air, vanishing in an instant.

“This…”

“Playing again?”

“Taoist Master, take me with you!”

Seeing this, grief arose again among those in the live stream.

On the other side, the cultivators of Lingyun Mountain also wore complicated expressions.

Finally, it was the Lingyun Sect Leader who spoke, “Back to the mountain!”

After speaking, he channeled his mana, transformed into a rainbow, and returned to the midst of Lingyun Mountain.

With the Blessed Land resolved and the Yuan Spirit entering the world, although it could no longer boast its former glory, a few remnants of its former charm persisted.

Such a foundation is still suitable for a temporary cultivation base, but it’s uncertain what the future holds.

If there are no other paths, with Lingyun’s Spiritual Energy, even nurturing a Nascent Soul would be difficult, let alone for him, a Great Return to Void Cultivator.

This is the second difficulty of re-entering the world: sparse Yuan Spirits and a treacherous Dao path!

…

Days passed, and it was still Lingyun Mountain, with another group of guests arriving.

“To think Lingyun’s Blessed Land has fallen to this state!”

“Pity, such a pity!”

“The once famed Lingyun Nine Sons, so imposing, and now after one disaster, only three survive.”

“Given the Lingyun Sect Leader’s abilities and his past accomplishments in Slaughtering Demons, maintaining this Blessed Land for another century would not have been difficult.”

“But now, they were forced by that malicious Cultivator to risk entering the tribulation with heavy casualties!”

“The world changes in an instant, and so does the fate. In just a few years, the Nascent Soul Tribulation was averted, and even if a hundred years later the Deity Transformation Tribulation is inevitable, it could reduce the majority of it. Could the Lingyun Nine Sons not have overcome it? Why did they let that malicious Cultivator play such a ‘good’ person?”

Outside the main gate, a group of people were having a discussion with clear intentions.

Their stance was unhidden, and their purpose, evident.

In response, the disciples at the gate remained silent and let them speak.

Until…

“Honored guests have arrived, apologies for not greeting you from afar!”

A young man walked out from the mountain and approached the crowd.

The crowd’s eyes focused and they then paid their respects, “Greetings, Sect Master Linghu.”

“Ah!”

The young man waved his hands saying, “All of you are disciples of the Immortal Gate. Linghu Yun is just a minor Sect Master, how can I accept such a grand gesture from you? Please, rise quickly, please rise.”

Having said that, he aided them up with a gesture of his hands.

The crowd exchanged glances and then voiced their concerns.

“May I ask about the Lingyun Forefather’s injuries?”

“We’ve heard that the Lingyun Forefather suffered greatly from the lightning tribulation. The Seven Grand Ascendants particularly commanded me to deliver this Jade Scales Elixir, which can heal the body and is especially effective against lightning injuries.”

“My master also instructed me to bring this Five Clouds Elixir to the Lingyun Forefather, insisting that he must take care of his health.”

“Given the calamity that befell Lingyun, we feel as though it happened to ourselves…”

The crowd had much to say, with many offering Spirit Pills and wondrous medicines.

Linghu Yun shook his head repeatedly, politely refusing, “Many thanks for your kind intentions. My teacher’s injuries are not serious; he just needs time to quietly recuperate. He’s currently in seclusion and cannot meet with you all, please understand.”

“This…”

The crowd fell silent, stopping their conversation as the atmosphere turned indescribably tense.

Linghu Yun, however, ignored this and invited them with a gesture, “Please, esteemed guests, enter the mountain for a cup of fragrant tea, and allow me to modestly extend our hospitality.”

There was a moment of silence, but eventually, they nodded.

“Since that’s the case, we won’t refuse your kindness.”

After speaking, they followed Linghu Yun into the mountain.@@novelbin@@

After entering, they saw the decay and that many of the Formation Restrictions had failed and were being dismantled.

Silent upon this sight, they followed Linghu Yun to the Guest Reception Hall.

“Please, take a seat.”

Once inside, they were served Spiritual Tea, which Linghu Yun offered with a gesture, but the guests hesitated to reach out.

Unsurprised, Linghu Yun inquired, “Could it be that this Cloud Peak Tea does not suit your tastes?”

“No, not at all!”

“The tea is indeed excellent, it’s just that…”

The crowd voiced their separate concerns until a young man finally spoke up, “Sect Master Linghu, we have come today on our masters’ commands, with important matters to discuss. Could you please convey this to the Lingyun Forefather?”
