A disaster can begin like a farce, but it will never end like one.
The ending comes in two forms.
Bad and worse.
Just when most people thought the situation had reached its limit at this point.
...
In the ethereal Spirit Realm.
A blue bull with tiger stripes opened its scarlet eyes all over its body, making strange noises like the roar of a myriad beasts.
"Hungry....."
"I heard the voice of the Celestial Fox, is it coming back again."
"The Mortal World is chaotic, and the Underworld is not peaceful either."
"I’m so hungry.... the Cyan Wood Divine Master hasn’t come for a week...."
"Are they going to starve us to death...."
"I don’t want to die."
"I’m so hungry...."
"I need to eat...."
"Cyan Wood, Cyan Wood, where are you, Cyan Wood...."
"Cyan Wood, come out and give me something to eat....."
The giant tiger-striped blue bull stepped out from a cloud-like mountaintop, looking out at the sky where soul rains were pouring down.
The hundreds of eyes on the bull blinked constantly, as tear-like water began to overflow from the corners of its eyes, gradually covering its entire body.
Should it eat?
"I’m so hungry, Cyan Wood, where are you, I can’t hold back much longer...."
This blue bull resisted the urge to devour the souls, but the greed and malice shown in its hundreds of eyes revealed that it didn’t seem to be very resistant to hunger.
If the Taoist Lord known as Cyan Wood doesn’t appear soon, it’s afraid it will follow in the footsteps of some predecessors and start devouring these ’food’ falling from the sky.
So where did Cyan Wood go?
Farther away.
Very far.
Although distance isn’t something hard to cross in the Spirit Realm, at this moment, Cyan Wood Taoist Lord is truly very far from the blue bull.
They are in a place called the Profound Nether Abyss.
It’s the territory of a Demon Race Taoist Lord.
Uh.
Although speaking in terms of spirit forms, everyone’s appearance is bizarre, and it’s impossible to distinguish between human or demon, the Profound Nether Abyss is the original territory of the Celestial Profound Realm’s native Demon Race and the Spirit Realm.
Cyan Wood doesn’t want to go back to feed the blue bull, but they cannot go back.
They really can’t go back.....
...
"Profound Nether Abyss upheaval?"
"Everyone’s gone mad. Why is everything erupting at this critical juncture? Can’t there be a little peace!"
"Heh, maybe as Saint Master Yimiao said, the Daluo Taoist Lands want to bring out all the trouble at once, and solve it together."
"Can the words from the Daluo Taoist Lands be trusted!!!"
"Calm down, calm down, it’s just the Profound Nether Abyss, if they could suppress it the first time, naturally they can suppress it the second time."
"I know they can suppress it a second time, but can they handle it? I’ve heard that because too many people have died over in the Central Domain these days, it’s raining souls in the Spirit Realm, which has caused the Profound Nether Abyss to riot. Everything is happening at once; what exactly does the Daluo Taoist Lands want to do!"
"Here’s a joke, I’m not even afraid of when it’s time to settle accounts, the other two families saying we let the Celestial Fox in."
"Hehe."
"I’ll tell another joke, because that group of Noble Families has been behaving themselves recently, in this turmoil, our Immortal Ascension Sect might suffer the least loss."
"Ridiculous!"
"Alright, alright, what we’re discussing now is the Profound Nether Abyss upheaval."
"What does the Profound Nether Abyss upheaval have to do with us?"
"Exactly! Let the old folks in the Spirit Realm deal with their own problems. If they had directly eliminated the Celestial Fox back in the day, none of this would have happened today."
"..."
"Why is everyone looking at me? Am I wrong? Also, so what if the Profound Nether Abyss riots, if some spots in the Spirit Realm do clear out because of this, won’t it be just right for us!"
"..."
"..."
"Don’t stay silent, did I say something wrong?"
The group of Longevity in the Immortal Ascension Sect had mostly unpleasant expressions, and the Longevity True Monarch who had been speaking was taken aback, then as if realizing something, his face changed dramatically, looking at the group of Longevity Realm beside him: "You haven’t already sided with those Taoist Lords, have you? You’re... you’re insane!"
"..."
"The situation has come to this...."
"No, just for the sake of a position, you’re enduring their siphoning while you’re still alive? What’s it for!!!"
"Ahem, say less, say less...."
"So what do we do now, let me make it clear, whatever’s wrong in the Spirit Realm has nothing to do with me. I’m waiting for a bunch of Golden Nature to die so I can take a good spot, so don’t drag me into any reckless undertaking!"
"..."
"The issue now is the tension in the Spirit Realm’s Tao Practice, because many Noble Families have officially sealed their mountains, and with the Celestial Fox swallowing a batch before, the lower level Taoist Lords lack the strength to fight the Demon Race; they hope we can help solve this problem."
"Sealing the mountains is one thing, what does that have to do with the Spirit Realm? Why, if they seal the mountains, won’t their Tao Practice be siphoned by the Spirit Realm?"
".....Those Noble Families’ Arrays have been secretly improved, and while sealing the mountain, they also cut off the circulation of Golden Nature, equally isolating the siphoning of Tao Practice."
"???"
"Are they planning a rebellion?!"
"We don’t know, we haven’t even received any news."
"Then how do we solve it now? How to solve it? Smash those Noble Families’ shells, forcing them to re-establish their connections with the Taoist Lords, or are you planning to let our Immortal Ascension Sect disciples fill this gap?"
"..."
"..."
"You’re... serious?"
Seeing that none of the Longevity Realm around him spoke, the current Holy Master of the Immortal Ascension Sect suddenly felt like laughing.
Sneering.
So he laughed out loud, and the laughter grew louder and louder.
