Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2255 - 1596: Perception

If someone could take in the entire Tao Spirit Realm at a glance, they would be surprised to discover that, starting from this moment, many places were experiencing sudden explosions of spiritual energy.

It wasn’t just occurring in the realms of the Immortal Tao; similar occurrences were happening in the territories of the Demonic Tao, the Devil Race, the Divine Path, and other factions and forces.

Many creatures found it strange. Although low-level spiritual objects were often looked down upon by many beings, appearing so concentrated in the wild was indeed too peculiar.

And among the many sightings, there were naturally creatures who happened to witness the entire process of the spiritual energy eruption.

”Ah?! What’s happening here!”

Those who saw it felt only shock and curiosity, without giving it much thought.

Some who hailed from major forces were much more sensitive. Upon witnessing such bizarre and peculiar phenomena, their first reaction was to take out a Memory Stone, record it, and take it back to their sect or family to let the elders examine what it was about.

...

The Youyun Sect, a fairly strong Profound Immortal faction.

At this moment, the Sect Leader and other elders were watching the content recorded in a Memory Stone brought back by a disciple.

”Everyone, do you know what’s going on here?” asked the Sect Leader first.

The elders looked at each other, clearly understanding the situation, but knowing nothing of the underlying reason.

”Perhaps the ancestor knows?”

After a while, someone finally spoke.

”No! We can’t disturb the ancestor’s cultivation for such a trivial matter!” someone immediately objected.

”I don’t think this is trivial at all, but rather deeply significant. The sooner we understand why, the better we can prepare against unforeseen events.”

The two sides began to quarrel over this matter, and the entire hall was filled with noise, devoid of peace.

”Enough!”

The Sect Leader initially did not intervene, listening to both sides’ arguments, but as their words became more excessive, he couldn’t bear it any longer, and finally interjected.

”This matter is bizarre and special, and perhaps truly significant. I will visit the ancestor myself!”

With that, the Sect Leader stood up and headed toward the Cave Heaven at the back mountain.

Before long, he arrived at the portal to Cave Heaven, bowed, and said:

”Disciple has urgent matters to request the ancestor’s presence, I humbly ask for a meeting!”

”Come in.”

Soon, a voice came from inside, and the portal shimmered with Spirit Light, allowing him to enter.

In the Cave Heaven, the spiritual energy was abundant and thick, floating in mid-air. In the center, there was only a thatched hut, with an elder sitting inside.

”Disciple greets the ancestor.”

”What is it?” the elder asked blandly, not even opening his eyes.

”A few days ago, a disciple accidentally encountered a special phenomenon, but we juniors lack insight and cannot understand, hence we seek the ancestor’s guidance.”

”Oh? Show me.”

Only then did the elder show a hint of interest.

The Sect Leader respectfully activated the Memory Stone, and the image showed an ordinary place suddenly erupting with a dense and pure spiritual energy, transforming the surrounding flowers, trees, and other mundane objects into spiritual objects.

Swish!

The originally seated elder abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with solemnity, and asked in a deep voice: ”Is the situation recorded in the Memory Stone extremely rare, or has it become frequent across the Tao Spirit Realm?”

The Sect Leader was taken aback by the ancestor’s reaction, and without needing much thought, he knew the matter was of great importance, otherwise, the usually calm ancestor wouldn’t react so dramatically.

”This...”

Facing this question, the Sect Leader wasn’t very sure, so he could only say with trepidation: ”Disciple doesn’t know the specific situation, but based on collected information, it shouldn’t be considered rare.”

”Doesn’t that mean the world is about to ascend?”

The elder was struck with a sudden realization, never expecting that one day he would have the opportunity to witness such a historic moment!

As a Profound Immortal, he naturally understood what those erupting pure spiritual energies signified: it was the Heavenly Dao preparing the world’s spiritual energy for future events.

As for what would happen next? If the spiritual energy was abundant, that would be fortunate, but if it wasn’t, a terrifying, bloody catastrophe, affecting a vast area, would swiftly sweep across the Tao Spirit Realm, and no creature would be able to escape it!

”Ancestor?!”

The Sect Leader saw the ancestor’s loss of composure and dazed state and couldn’t help but speak to bring him back to his senses.

”Are you alright?”

”Nothing, just thinking a bit too much.”

The elder waved his hand, not voicing his inner unease and worries, merely saying: ”It won’t be long before the Tao Spirit Realm could become very perilous. After you return, have all disciples prepare for a great battle.”

”No!”

He immediately regretted it after finishing, reorganizing his words: ”First and foremost, gather various resources. Once you leave, take advantage of the fact that the news hasn’t spread widely yet, and urgently purchase strategic materials.”

”Once this is completed, inform the disciples and have them prepare for the outbreak of a great war.”

”Ancestor, what does this mean, causing you to change so drastically?” The Sect Leader couldn’t bear his curiosity any longer and asked.

”Fortune, catastrophe.” The elder uttered two completely opposing terms.

Catastrophe, he could understand, but what was the situation with fortune?

He wanted to ask further, but the elder had already closed his eyes, directly sending him out.

”The world ascension...”

A sigh gradually faded in the Cave Heaven.

The Sect Leader’s doubts only grew, yet he got no answers. Shaking his head helplessly, he turned back to the main hall to carry out the ancestor’s instructions.

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere...

Guangzhou, Changyou Immortal City.

”Father!”

The owner of the tavern in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, Zhou Changsheng, stood in a solemn courtyard, respectfully saluting the middle-aged cultivator in front of him.

This was his biological father, the Great Ability Mysterious Immortal Zhou Yuanming!

”What’s wrong?” Zhou Yuanming asked blandly.

”Not long ago, a Profound Immortal senior visited the Wenfeng Building. I secretly sent someone to investigate, but they only uncovered two seemingly unrelated small matters.”

”You have quite the nerve to investigate a Profound Immortal’s affairs.”

Zhou Changsheng shook his head slightly, having had no dealings with that person, it hardly counted as probing.

So, he recounted all the information he had gathered.

”Just investigating Guangzhou’s spiritual energy situation? Could he be planning to establish a sect in Guangzhou?” Zhou Yuanming pondered with interest.

”Father, that individual is the Sect Leader of the Tongtian Sect from Mingzhou. Relocating the sect to Guangzhou is unlikely.”

”You’ve brought too little information to discern his motives.”

Zhou Yuanming shook his head and said: ”Moreover, how do you know whether the news Wenfeng Building sold you is true or if it withheld key details?”

”Sigh!”

Zhou Changsheng sighed and said: ”I just have this feeling that the matter he’s investigating is significant. If we could understand, it might bring us benefits.”

”Oh?”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuanming became interested, aware of his offspring’s exceptionally uncommon intuition. His son likely had stumbled upon a major secret.

But with such scant clues, they were nearly guessing in the dark; how could they find the answer this way?

”However, recently I heard about a strange event, barely connecting to it.”

Then, Zhou Changsheng recounted the widespread news of spiritual energy eruptions in the Immortal City.

”What!?”

Zhou Yuanming stood up abruptly, his expression changing dramatically, filled with mixed feelings—joy, worry, and unease.

”Father? You know?”

”Yes, that Sect Leader from Tongtian Sect is indeed extraordinary, able to discern the signs from such slight clues.”

Unknowingly, his tone carried a few shades of admiration.

Soon, his expression turned solemn and serious: ”Changsheng, your chance to break through to Profound Immortal might lie in this matter.”
