I am Just a Wild God, Why are You Kneeling Before the Heavenly Dao?

223: Ascension Meeting”This grand event must be presided over by the core high-level of the Immortal Island, and those Old Ancestors who have been ’corrupted’ will definitely show up! Observing them up close, we might discover more clues!”

Lin Chuping nodded, the System’s analysis was correct.

”Beneath the painted skin, there must be a demonic aura.”

If he were an invader, and his strength was so formidable, he would certainly start with those in the highest positions.

”Hehe, Host, you are the dignified Heavenly Dao, making an incognito visit to observe the populace’s... uh, immortal’s sentiments. Who would have thought of that?”

Lin Chuping’s thoughts stirred, and in an unnoticed corner, specks of golden-purple divine radiance scattered and condensed like stardust.

When the light dispersed, a dashing Young Master, clad in a simple green robe and holding a jade-boned folding fan, stood upon the cloud steps.

The young man had a refined and handsome face, a gentle temperament, and his aura perfectly blended with Penglai’s pure immortal Qi, revealing nothing, just like an ordinary Loose Cultivator of decent cultivation who had come out of admiration.

This was the ”human form” that Lin Chuping had simulated with his Heavenly Dao Dharma Body.

Lin Chuping followed the flow of people, unhurriedly stepping onto the warm white jade cloud steps.

The closer he got, the more the grand atmosphere of the event enveloped him.

The Ascending Immortal Platform square was vast and boundless, paved with warm jade that reflected the auspicious clouds filling the sky and the shimmering lights of the suspended Magic Treasures.

Tens of thousands of Cultivators were seated on suspended cloud beds or meditation cushions, their faces brimming with excitement and anticipation.

On the central high platform, several Earth Immortal Old Ancestors, wreathed in immortal light, sat on lotus pedestals, like ancient bedrock, exuding awe-inspiring majesty and serenity.

Immortal music, ethereal and pure, cleansed the heart of dust.

Lin Chuping silently found a cloud bed at the edge and sat down. His position was strategic, allowing him to clearly see the high platform and distinctly hear the discussions of the surrounding Cultivators.

”Look! That’s Senior Brother Zhao of Qingyang Sect! He’s really been chosen! He’s a Genius his Sect hasn’t seen in a hundred years!”

A young Cultivator pointed at a handsome young man on the platform, his tone filled with envy.

”And that Fairy in the goose-yellow dress, isn’t that Fairy Liu ofBibotan? I heard her Spiritual Root is incredibly pure, so it’s no surprise she was chosen.”

”Alas, when will we have such an immortal destiny...”

Someone sighed.

Just then, a slightly excited voice caught Lin Chuping’s attention.

”Brother Zhang, I heard that as long as you are chosen by Penglai Immortal Island, the path to Ascension is set in stone!”

Lin Chuping slightly turned his gaze and saw that the speaker was a corpulent Cultivator in brocade robes, who looked like he came from a minor Family, excitedly talking to his companion with spittle flying.

His companion, referred to as ”Brother Zhang,” was a more composed middle-aged Loose Cultivator. Hearing this, he also showed a look of longing but still cautiously asked,

”Fellow Daoist Wang, is this true? Ascending to the Immortal Realm is a Heaven-Defying act, how can it be so easy?”

”Heh! Brother Zhang, you don’t know this!”

The corpulent Fellow Daoist Wang slapped his thigh, his voice rising a few octaves, attracting the attention of many nearby people. He didn’t care at all; instead, he looked even more smug.

”What kind of existence is Penglai Immortal Island? It is a true Immortal Realm Dao lineage!”

”The Old Ancestors possess vast Divine Abilities and have already opened a reception channel in the Immortal Realm! As long as one is chosen and signs the ’Dao Heart Pact,’ the Immortal Island will bestow an peerless Immortal Pill to help them undergo a complete transformation! And then...”

He deliberately paused, looked around, and seeing that everyone’s eyes were drawn to him, he lowered his voice and spoke very mysteriously.

”One only needs to offer a small ’Ascension Guiding Fee’ to the Immortal Island—which is actually just a symbolic amount of Spirit Stones, just for show!”

”The Immortal Island will then activate the grand reception array and directly send the person into the Immortal Realm! From then on, they will escape the bitter sea of the mortal world and achieve eternal life! This is absolutely true!”

”My distant cousin’s neighbor’s Dao Companion’s great-uncle’s grandson ascended this way back then! I heard he’s living a very carefree life in the Immortal Realm!”

”Just a bit of Spirit Stones?”

A young female Cultivator next to him, who seemed inexperienced, couldn’t help but exclaim.

”Then... how many Spirit Stones would that be?”
