Chapter 178: Immortal Fate, Trial (Two-in-One Subscription Request)
In the depths of the Emei Mountain's back mountain, within a deep pool.
The old cultivators and their disciples were present.
They were in an illusion, trembling with excitement because they had encountered Immortal Fate.
In their eyes,
The immortal riding the calabash smiled faintly, indicating that today is a joyous occasion for fellow daoists.
After waving a piece of paper, the daylight turned into night.
The bright moon hung in the sky, casting a cool moonlight.
A wooden table appeared in front of the cultivators, and on the table appeared delicate snacks and a small cup of spirit wine.
The air was filled with a sweet aroma, causing the old cultivators to involuntarily salivate.
The old sect master was invited to sit in the air, drinking with the immortal in the clouds.
This scene made other old cultivators envious.
Su Ping saw all of this.
His gaze swept over these old cultivators.
By using some tricks to deceive mortals: turning paper into the moon, using qi to transform food.
The moon and the delicious food that these old cultivators saw were all illusions.
But when they ate, it was still flavorful.
And the spirit wine was indeed diluted spirit rice wine.
Of course, it wasn't the kind brewed with golden lotus spirit rice.
It's not that Su Ping was stingy, but many of these old cultivators were already unable to replenish their qi.
Good things can also be deadly if not paid attention to.
Su Ping took a sip of wine and pointed out the doubts in the cultivation of the old sect master.
After everyone finished their meal, Su Ping began to sit in the air and give a sermon.
With the memories of several previous generations of Blood God Sect's leaders, Su Ping had already mastered various methods to determine whether someone had Spiritual Roots without the assistance of detection artifacts.
The scriptures in Su Ping's mouth entered the minds of everyone present through his Divine Sense.
As the refreshed Spirit Stones in the formation were activated, they released Spiritual Qi.
Accompanied by the sound of the scriptures, everyone unconsciously began to practice breathing exercises.
Vaguely, a faint white mist appeared on the bodies of those with good talent.
This invisible white mist was as obvious to Su Ping as fireflies in the night sky.
At present, a considerable number of people in this group had white mist.
Almost two-thirds.
But this was also within reason.
These old cultivators and their disciples represented at least half of the essence of the current cultivation world in the Eastern Ancient Country.
Although they couldn't cultivate Supernatural Powers due to the lack of Spiritual Qi, they couldn't achieve the same level of power as the Immortal World.
But to be able to wholeheartedly cultivate to their current status.
Without any talent, how could they persist?
Su Ping continued to recite the scriptures for a few more minutes.
When the sound of the scriptures suddenly stopped, at least nine out of ten people had white mist!
Those old cultivators all had white mist, and the few who didn't pass were obviously young disciples who squeezed in.
However, Su Ping discovered that after being nourished by the Spiritual Qi environment and stimulated by his scriptures, many old cultivators had fallen into the state of seeing their true nature through the scriptures.
But they hadn't even reached the Qi Refining Initiation stage, so seeing their true nature was equivalent to encountering Heart's Demon.
"I see it! I see it!"
"Hahaha, the heavenly White Jade Capital, I see it!"
"Amitābha, to see Tathagata, is the Buddha's country such a scene?"
"Wuwuwu, what is the Dao, what am I, what is the Dao, and what am I..."
Su Ping looked at the old sect master.
But he found that the old sect master was only sweating profusely and hadn't fallen into Heart's Demon.
Even though he had barely reached the Qi Refining stage, this performance was in line with the Blood God Sect's selection criteria for inner disciples.
"Wake up!"
Su Ping shouted lightly, and it sounded like thunder exploding in everyone's ears.
Suddenly, everyone who had fallen into Heart's Demon shattered their illusions and regained their consciousness.
At this moment, Su Ping received the emotional fluctuations of everyone.
Combined with the brightness of the white mist on their bodies.
Based on the previous experience summarized by others, Su Ping already had a rough evaluation of these people's hearts.
Currently, can it be said that these are the elites in a population of over a billion people?
Including the Old Observer, there are three individuals with High-grade Spiritual Roots.
There are twelve individuals with Medium-grade Spiritual Roots, and the rest have at least Low-grade Spiritual Roots.
Su Ping informed the Old Observer of the names of those with High-grade and Medium-grade Spiritual Roots.
Afterwards, he glanced at the Deepwater Pool and had no intention of continuing to plant new Golden Lotus Spirit Rice.
The main reason was that the Grotto-Heaven in the pot had expanded, and there was a Teresa who was skilled in farming.
The next batch of Golden Lotus Spirit Rice could also be transferred to the Grotto-Heaven in the pot for cultivation.
However, the Qingmu Observer line couldn't be idle either.
Coincidentally, Su Ping had gained a lot of new knowledge and needed someone to help with experiments.
Of course, these were all harmless experiments. Su Ping didn't plan to let his train of thought be obstructed by current matters when his cultivation base became high and he needed a breakthrough.
Su Ping took out a cushion-shaped Spirit Gathering Magical Item that was filled with Spiritual Qi and handed it to the Old Observer.
He also gave him a few small trick Magical Items obtained from Rogue Cultivators for self-defense.
With a hearty laugh, he bid farewell to the cultivators below, waved his sleeve, and released the Calabash.
Then, he leaped up and quickly disappeared into the sky while riding on the Calabash.
Suddenly, the illusion disappeared!
From the outside, the golden light also disappeared in an instant.
They were able to see the Deep Water Pool and those old practitioners again.
Then someone immediately noticed the differences, noticing that those practitioners seemed to be sitting in a fan-shaped Lotus Position according to a standard.
The old head of the temple was even sitting steadily in mid-air, defying gravity.
The old head of the temple slowly opened his eyes and saw the sky restored to its original state.
Recalling the additional information in his mind.
He said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."
The old head of the temple descended from mid-air and landed steadily on a stone by the Deep Water Pool.
His gaze swept over those fellow practitioners who seemed to still be immersed in the previous illusionary memories.
He invited them to Qingmu Temple for a meal.
Afterwards, the group temporarily left the Deep Water Pool.
The Deep Water Pool was also explicitly mentioned by the old head of the temple that there was no longer a golden Lotus flower.
There was no longer any immortal fate.
However, the protective measures would still not be canceled.
Even the protection of Qingmu Temple has been strengthened to a certain extent.
And those monkey groups that were relocated because of the appearance of the Golden Lotus Flower obviously have no chance to come back!
Inside Qingmu Temple.
The vice president had been waiting there for a long time.
Regarding the strange things that were discovered before.
The old temple master and the old practitioners who were involved did not hide anything and exaggerated the short gathering of about ten minutes.
If you didn't know, you would think that these old practitioners had gone to heaven to participate in some immortal conference.
Although there were doubts in their hearts.
They were also amazed by the means of the immortals who could wave their hands to summon the moon and produce food and drinks.
In addition, after the old temple master and the vice president had a night talk.
The investigation team immediately expressed their full support.
And they showed it early in the morning.
The next morning, the old temple master gathered the practitioners who were present and directly announced the names of the fellow Daoists with high-grade and medium-grade Spiritual Roots.
Then he solemnly invited them to temporarily join Qingmu Temple and cultivate together as fellow Daoists.
Those who were invited naturally felt delighted.
But those who were not invited realized that they were not favored by the immortals and felt a bit out of control.
Fortunately, the vice president had known about these situations early on and quickly clapped his hands, bringing in a group of investigators from outside to help stabilize the emotions of those practitioners.
And quickly took them away from Qingmu Temple.
Shortly after that.
Several heavy transport helicopters flew to the open space behind Qingmu Temple.
Through airdrops, the necessary supplies were piled up on the open space.
Seeing such efficiency above, the old temple master naturally thanked the vice president.
Then he divided the supplies with his disciples and fellow Daoists and began a new set of cultivation methods.
This cultivation method required a large amount of jade and candles. In the past, the old temple master might have had to find someone to purchase them.
But now, knowing how he did it, the other party would know, so he simply asked the vice president to directly obtain high-quality and inexpensive goods.
...
"They are coming back!"
"And we... are their food!"
"Ah!"
The Land of Cherry Blossoms, Sakura Capital, the main residence of the Hema clan.
Hema Junichiro suddenly climbed out of bed.
Startled, the two noble girls beside him also woke up, looking at the Yin & Yang Master in front of them, who was covered in sweat, with a hint of panic and fear.
"Get out!"
Hema Junichiro rubbed his forehead with one hand, grabbed the bedsheet with the other, and growled lowly.
At the same time, a faint black shadow appeared on his body.
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped, causing the girls to shiver. They didn't even dare to retrieve their clothes and ran out of the room directly.
"Why did I have such a nightmare?"
"Is it a revelation from the Fox God or some other great existence?"
Hema Junichiro muttered to himself, grabbing a bottle of mineral water from the shadow and drinking it all.
He felt slightly better and began to recall the unpleasant memories in his mind.
However, Hema Junichiro didn't know.
After Su Ping left Qingmu Temple and returned to his Grotto-Heaven for cultivation, he discovered that the Traveling Merchant had updated its inventory.
Then he came across the newly added Abyss Normal Challenge Scrolls in the Traveling Merchant's shop.
After seeing that it only required one hundred fishing coins, Su Ping quickly bought them.
Then he thought of the Land of Cherry Blossoms, which he had predicted would face many disasters, and hurried over.
And then, he saw Hema Junichiro sleeping.
He was in the moment between waking and sleeping.
So Su Ping simply used the same method he used on Qingmu Temple on this person, wanting to see Hema Junichiro's Spiritual Roots aptitude.
But he didn't expect that this guy would encounter the Hearts Demon stage during the Mingxinjianxing phase and seemed to have a terrible dream.
When Su Ping finished his cultivation and checked Hema Junichiro, he found that this guy only had a medium-grade Spiritual Roots.
Not as good as the former Temple Master, who was just lucky enough to obtain a Ghostly Body and Spiritual Body.
So Su Ping paid more attention to him.
Su Ping also caught a glimpse of a few fragments of his memories.
This Hema Junichiro actually dreamed of the gates of the underworld opening, with the Yellow Springs River flowing around Sakura Capital.
Then countless ghosts and gods surged out, occupying the entire Land of Cherry Blossoms, turning his hometown into a scene from the Underworld.
"Hmm... It seems that my little hint has caused him a great psychological burden."
"When the local area also starts to have spatial rifts..."
"Could this guy be taking this as a prophetic dream?"
"But, it doesn't seem bad to treat it as a prophetic dream, right?"
"This way, it can motivate him to cultivate diligently, instead of having time to take care of other noble ladies!"
"Women only hinder his efficiency in using the Ghostly Body!"
Inside the room.
Hema Junichiro suddenly felt the black crow divine incarnation behind him let out a cry.
Immediately, without waiting for him to summon the black crow divine avatars enshrined in various shrines in Sakura Capital, he saw the fox-faced shrine maiden appear in front of him.
"Great Shrine Maiden!"
Although Hema Junichiro already had shikigami and had become a true Yin & Yang Master.
Because of this, he dared not underestimate the fox-faced shrine maiden in front of him.
Only when he reached the Qi Refining stage could he truly feel the huge gap between himself and Foundation Establishment.
The fox-faced shrine maiden slightly raised her chin and softly spoke a location, then continued, "Notify your noble acquaintances to prepare."
"Also... the enemy this time will not be stronger than the Korean Peninsula."
"Those above think that perhaps this can be a test for you."
"If you can solve this crisis without relying on us, your evaluation will be improved."
"You can also apply for more time to go to the secret realm for cultivation."
After conveying the message, the fox-faced shrine maiden disappeared in front of Hema Junichiro as Su Ping canceled the summoning.
Hema Junichiro understood the deep meaning behind every word of the fox-faced shrine maiden.
Thinking of cultivation in the secret realm.
He gritted his teeth and got up, simply dressed, and hurriedly left the room.
While instructing the steward to inform the cabinet and the royal family.
At the same time, he opened the professional personal equipment provided by the Sakura Capital Intelligence Department and, using his high-end privileges as a great Yin & Yang Master, reviewed the video footage of the battle on the Korean Peninsula coast.
And at the same time, he listened to the various analyses of the experts on this battle.
After dozens of minutes.
In the not-so-large hall of the Hema clan.
It was filled with the dignitaries and powerful generals of Sakura Capital.
They sat politely on both sides, drinking hot tea and watching the video of the spatial rifts appearing in the projection.
Occasionally, I talked with Shimamura Junichiro and made my own suggestions.
The Minister of Security, who was responsible for security, watched all this anxiously.
After learning that the Land of Cherry Blossoms would also encounter temporal rifts, he found it hard to believe and confirmed it multiple times.
After receiving a positive reply, his mental stress increased significantly, to the point where he needed to go to the hospital for rest.
"This time we have more time than last time, so we can calmly set up multiple defense lines."
"Compared to the defeat of the Korean country, we should be able to show the courage of humanity this time!"
The representative of the United States also expressed his own views towards the end of the meeting.
As one of the major forces stimulated by the Transcendent phenomenon, they have also upgraded a lot of equipment this time.
Experts have also conceived many new tactics.
With a little more time available.
Thanks to the efforts of the United States, many war machines were able to be transferred early.
This greatly reduced the response time to the start of the operation.
Shimamura Junichiro deep down did not like the United States.
But this did not prevent him from praising the opinions of the US representative and expressing his willingness to work with the US military to eliminate those invaders from another world, thereby proving their worth to the Transcendent realm.
In order to gain enough attention, Shimamura Junichiro also kept the Transcendent forces informed without immediately revealing their hand.
He just added a little more content.
He turned the test against himself into a test of the strength of mortal forces!
And this statement was accepted by those big shots, or rather, it matched their understanding.
After all, how can one expect the attention and friendship of those mysterious forces without demonstrating enough value?
"Gentlemen, regarding the temporal rift, I can request the divine power of the Crow God to see if it can be effective."
"I believe that since they have given us this test, it means that our abilities are definitely capable of overcoming it!"
"Gentlemen, let's work together for a better future for humanity!"
"Take action!"
As the big shots finished the meeting and left the Shimamura family mansion.
Not long after.
The citizens commuting in Sakura City found that there were traffic controls in many places today.
At the same time, many people received text messages to go to the Crow God Shrine for prayers.
Near these shrines, there were even shrine maidens distributing flyers, stating that as long as they sincerely visited during this time period, they could receive a subsidy.
This made many people tempted.
Some young people who were not accustomed to worshiping also entered the shrine for the first time, enticed by the subsidy.
On the internet, news of a large-scale military mobilization spread.
In the sky, apart from satellites.
With Shimamura Junichiro's logical argument.
Coupled with the appearance of the mysterious forces, which indeed brought pressure, it pushed the major forces of the Water Blue Star towards reconciliation.
They even passed a resolution, allowing the unmanned aerial aircraft carrier from the East to approach the destination airspace.
When necessary, it can join the battlefield for an attack.
And the destination of this military operation.
After more and more intelligence was leaked.
It was pieced together by someone who was attentive.
"No wonder I couldn't contact my friend who went on a trip!"
"The military's location is Sakura Mountain!"
"That area must have information control. Crow God, I am starting to believe in you. I hope you can bless the safe return of my friend!"
"What's going on?"
"Oh my god, could it be that the rumors from last time were true?"
"Is the Land of Cherry Blossoms also going to have monsters?"
"Has the Spiritual Qi revived? But why can't I summon anything even though I have been practicing the Yin & Yang technique passed down in my family for so long?"
"Idiot, do you know that you need lineage to become a Yin & Yang practitioner? If your ancestors are not from a prestigious family, forget about it!"
"That's right, so I have already switched to practicing Dharma. If that doesn't work, I plan to cultivate immortality or try black magic..."
On the internet, chaos ensued, and the discussion gradually deviated from the truth.
On the external roads of Sakura Mountain.
They were already occupied by a large number of armored vehicles.
Only one exit passage was left for the tourists and residents inside to evacuate.
At the same time.
In the places where temporal rifts might appear.
In addition to setting up a large number of bombs and landmines, they also prepared special weapons such as poison gas bombs and special incendiary bombs.
