I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Chapter 503: Chapter 372: The Advent of a Divine Being_2

At that time, the Dongsheng Divine Continent was bathed in the pervasive light of Buddhism, enjoying great freedom!

“However, there were problems, Sun Changsheng and the bovine longevity were extensive, the primitive witch race Yang Xuan’s lifespan is also incomparable to that of human beings…”

Jizhen slightly furrowed her brows, “In this way, even if my disciple ascends to the higher realm, there would be no way for Buddhism to take control of the Heavenly Court. How can this issue be resolved?”

While she was pondering,

A transmission of light flew into the cave dwelling, and Jizhen reached out to receive it.

——Hurry to the Heavenly Court, the Patching Heaven Sect has failed to request the abdication of the Heavenly Emperor. We will discuss again whether the position of the Heavenly Emperor should change every thousand years!

“Amitabha!”

Jizhen excitedly chanted the Buddha’s name, her confusion immediately cleared up. As long as the position of the Heavenly Emperor rotated every thousand years, her disciple would surely have a chance to ascend the throne.

“Disciple, continue your cultivation here; your master will return shortly!”

Having said this, she transformed into a streak of light, calling upon the true gods of Spirit Mountain to go together to the Heavenly Court to support the Patching Heaven Sect.

With the Patching Heaven Sect leading the charge, the Buddhists could follow with their flags waving and reap the benefits. Jizhen feared arriving late and having the Heavenly Emperor directly veto the proposal.

The cave dwelling.

Qing Lian sat cross-legged, continually chanting scriptures and radiating dazzling Buddhist light.

After a long time, @@novelbin@@

Once confirming that Jizhen had left Spirit Mountain, Qing Lian’s previously devout expression instantly turned cold, and she spoke hatefully,

“Damn the Heavenly Court, when I return, I will overturn you for sure!”

In the middle of speaking, she tore open the void, and the next moment she appeared outside Spirit Mountain.

Qing Lian sensed the surging and tumultuous Buddhist light within her body, along with the pure Buddhist mana. After pondering for a moment, she immediately flew towards You Mountain, no longer waiting to change her root.

If she encountered another robber, it was hard to say if she could escape again!

You Mountain.

Hundreds of years had passed, and the Innate Spiritual Objects had become a legend.

Once the mountain was full of cultivators, but now only miners remained, excavating Spirit Jade and Divine Bloodstone.

Qing Lian landed on the mountain top, her immense mana enveloping the entire You Mountain. She pinched a spell to sense the Immortal Blood Essence and then her figure turned into a light that merged into the center of the mountain range.

The Immortal Blood Essence gathered towards Qing Lian like swallows returning to their nest, slowly forming a crimson Blood Cocoon that was as tall as a person.

The Blood Cocoon fell in the midst of the mountains, the surrounding void twisted, making it difficult for cultivators sweeping with their Divine Senses to detect it, and even if someone dug through the mountain range and stumbled upon the Blood Cocoon, they would see it as nothing.

It existed in this place and yet in another.

Meanwhile, Jizhen went to the Heavenly Court and raised her hand in favor of the Patching Heaven Sect’s proposal.

The Heavenly Emperor, seeing that over eighty percent of the true gods agreed, had no choice but to agree to the turnover every thousand years.

After appointing Zhao Yao as the Crown Prince, the true gods completely understood the situation and quickly shifted their support to the Patching Heaven Sect. The response was so overwhelming it nearly resulted in the dethronement of the Heavenly Emperor.

The only right the Heavenly Emperor managed to secure was that from the moment the decree took effect, it would count towards his time in office.

After a thousand years, the throne would pass to Zhao Yao.

Jizhen left the Overhanging Firmament Hall, and riding the light, she returned to Spirit Mountain. Upon entering the cave dwelling and seeing Qing Lian missing, the smile on her face immediately froze as she looked at the words ‘old bald donkey’ on the wall.

“Amitabha! This monk…better return to the Heavenly Court for secluded cultivation, lest this scoundrel directly attacks Spirit Mountain!”

As far as Jizhen knew, in recent years Bai Suixin had been hiding in the Heavenly Court, flattering the Heavenly Emperor while waiting for Qing Lian to strike at the Heavenly Court.

…

The Heavenly Emperor’s reign reached 4000 years.

Since the establishment of the decree “the Heavenly Emperor to change every thousand years,” the Dongsheng Divine Continent had welcomed tranquility.

The Cultivation World was prosperous, the Mortal World enjoyed harmonious weather and smooth seas.

It seemed to have returned to the days when the Heavenly Court was first established, yet those in the know were aware that this was but the calm before the storm.

The thousand-year term had arrived, and a battle was inevitable.

However, this had little to do with ordinary cultivators, farmers farmed, miners mined, the struggles of the grand figures of the Heavenly Court. The common folk below only needed to wait quietly for the outcome.

So long as it did not affect them, let them fight until the sky breaks and the earth shatters!

On this day,

You Mountain.

It was the height of summer, with the blazing sun scorching the earth.

Li Wei, a miner from the Cultivation World, sat cross-legged, refining spiritual energy to restore his mana while casually listening to the old miners boast.

“You newcomers do not know, there is a kind of Spiritual Object called Divine Bloodstone here, one catty of which is worth ten thousand catties of Spirit Jade. If you’re lucky enough to dig one up, you can exchange it for Spirit Pills, enough to cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment!”

A miner beside him questioned, “Then how come no one has ever dug any up? I’m afraid it’s just a ruse to trick people into mining!”

“Who knows, it definitely existed in the past.”

The old miner’s face showed confusion as he didn’t know how to prove it; his ancestors had been mining in You Mountain, and it was by mining Divine Bloodstone that they had achieved Golden Core.

Unfortunately, after hundreds of years, the Golden Core ancestors had passed away, and here he was, their unworthy descendant, back at the mines.

“It must be a deceitful tale to trick people. When I was mining at Qi Wu Mountain before, they boasted of an ancient sage’s legacy to retain miners, yet after decades all we found were mere ores like spirit copper and spirit iron!”

The others agreed one after another. Due to the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the number of Loose Cultivators at the bottom had plummeted, which led to fewer and fewer people farming or mining.

Every mining vein was short of workers, hence all sorts of recruitment tactics were employed.

Exaggerating about Divine Bloodstone and ancient legacies were just minor tricks; some mines even claimed you’d get extra Spirit Stones for mining a certain amount of spiritual ore, but you’d work yourself to death without ever reaching that amount.

And as for the Mountain Gods, Earth Deities, and River Lords who controlled the veins, relying on the Heavenly Court to bully miners and spiritual farmers, that wasn’t new at all!

The old miner, red in the face and short of a retort, turned towards Li Wei, who was meditating and recuperating, and asked, “Daoist Li, do you also think I’m boastful?”

“The Divine Bloodstone mentioned by Daoist, I have seen it in books too. Perhaps it was dug up hundreds of years ago.”

A strange light flashed in Li Wei’s eyes as he gave a few perfunctory responses. After recovering his mana, he flew through the mine tunnels toward the center of the mountain.

You Mountain stretched thousands of miles and was considered a large mountain range in the eyes of mortals. However, after thousands of years of mining, the mine tunnels were as intricate as a honeycomb.

In the center of the mountain range.

Li Wei stopped his flight, his eyes shining with an unusual divine light as he gazed at the floating Blood Cocoon.

“What exactly is this thing?”

Ten years ago, under the introduction of an old miner, Li Wei came to You Mountain to mine Spirit Jade.

Five years ago, upon arriving at this spot to mine, Li Wei, who has natural double pupils, accidentally discovered a floating Blood Cocoon in the void, faintly sensing an infinite and immense force within.

Li Wei had tried various methods to probe the Blood Cocoon but found it unmoving. He even brought other miners nearby to carefully test and found that they couldn’t see it at all.

“No mana aura, it must be a Supreme Treasure or a legacy, but it doesn’t seem to be of the righteous path.”

Li Wei pushed his double pupils to the limit and could vaguely see the shadow of a lotus, slightly similar to the Buddhist Lotus Platform. When it spun around, it constantly refined the Blood Cocoon.

“This could be the opportunity for my transformation. Even if it’s a demon path Supreme Treasure, so long as I don’t commit evil, the heavenly laws can’t touch me!”

Li Wei was born in a rural village. As a child, he couldn’t even recognize characters, let alone go to a Daoist temple to study scriptures.

While hunting in the mountains, he fortuitously fell into a closed-door cultivator’s cave and obtained an Immortal cultivation legacy. After cultivating mana, he also activated his double pupils.

Double pupils could see hidden spiritual light, such as Spiritual Objects buried underground, or Spiritual Medicine concealed in the mountains, but these were either extremely rare or forbidden by the heavenly laws for private picking.

After numerous attempts, Li Wei became a miner. With his double pupils’ ability to detect, he could easily find hidden spiritual ore.

After struggling for more than twenty years, he went from a village boy to a real person of Foundation Establishment with a small reputation in nearby cities of You Mountain. Returning to his family, he was revered as an ancestor!

“Golden Core is a major threshold; without an opportunity, it’s a life-or-death struggle!”

Li Wei had watched the Heavenly Tribulation of Golden Core from afar several times. The power was so overwhelming that it was definitely not something he could overcome; he must switch to a higher-tier cultivation technique and refine more powerful Magic Artifacts.

Looking up at the Blood Cocoon, Li Wei had observed for five years and noticed that the blood color was fading away, which clearly meant it wasn’t far from emergence.

“I shall quietly wait in You Mountain for the Supreme Treasure to emerge and seize the first chance… If it creates too much commotion and attracts the attention of the Mountain God, I cannot be overly forceful. In any case, preserving life comes first!”

As Li Wei pondered, he suddenly saw fine cracks appearing on the Blood Cocoon, spreading like a spiderweb.

Hum!

Divine light spilled out from the cracks, and before Li Wei had time to dodge or even scream, his soul scattered to ashes.

Like sweeping over an ant, the divine light didn’t stop for an instant, piercing through rock, shooting up to the sky.

From afar, thousands of divine lights burst forth from the mountain range, turning all living beings in their path to ashes.

The surviving miners, riding on their escape lights, frantically fled from the mountain. Nobody dared to look back, as such terrifying power seemed like the emergence of a Demon Head, with death befalling anyone who approached.

The god of You Mountain erected the Formation and Prohibition, but before he could investigate the source of the divine light, he saw various auspicious signs manifesting in the sky.

The stars filled the sky, with the sun and moon together!

“This is… Human Immortal Heavenly Tribulation!”

The Mountain God exclaimed in shock. The Heavenly Tribulation of the Demon Saint from Qingyun Temple two thousand years ago was still widely spoken in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent to this day, known to all.
