Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 331 - 251 Favored by the Heavenly Dao, Everything Prospers_2

Chapter 331: Chapter 251 Favored by the Heavenly Dao, Everything Prospers_2

At this moment, the atmosphere in Unity Hall seemed unusually agitated, with some people’s faces carrying a hint of fire qi, clearly having just had a heated argument.

“Heavenly Burial Plain is 108,000 miles away from us. I do not agree that our family should get involved in such a significant affair,” one protested.

“Yes! In matters like an interdimensional war, others would run to avoid it, so why must the Zhao Family rush headlong into it? Are the lives of our clan members not lives? Qingyang, what are your thoughts?”

The two Foundation Establishment Elders voiced their doubts one after another, and a portion of the elders also showed signs of agreement.

The Family Head with a distinctive face, Zhao Debang, turned his gaze towards Zhao Sheng, who was silent, and asked with a heavy tone, “Qingyang, this proposal came from you. By right, you should also express your opinions. Everyone has spoken; now it’s your turn.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s eyes gleamed as his gaze swept across faces filled with depth, dissatisfaction, resentment, anticipation, and passion.

After looking, he generally had a plan in mind, and thus he slowly began to speak, “What I suggested was for our clan members to train in batches in the Heavenly Burial Plain in the future, but I never stated that the family must involve itself in the war between the two realms.

And why send clan members to train in the Heavenly Burial Plain? The reason, I presume, everyone understands, is nothing but to prepare for a rainy day.

Moreover, do not assume that just because Xinglong Origin is separated from Heavenly Burial Plain by a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers, that this matter has nothing to do with our family.

Little do we realize that without long-term concerns, there will be immediate worries.

Even if the two places are far apart, after all, they are on the same continent.

If an interdimensional war breaks out and, by chance, our side is at a disadvantage, leading to the spread of war to the Southern Border, our clan must not remain uninvolved.

Being prepared a day early is a million times better than panicking and seeking help when disaster strikes.”

Having said that, Zhao Sheng observed the expressions of the other elders, noting that some were visibly moved and began to change their stance, though a small number of elders still held to their own views.

“Family Head, do you find the proposal for training feasible?” Zhao Sheng felt dissatisfied and, in the end, deliberately challenged Zhao Debang.

He did not believe that Zhao Debang had not previously received a hint from Patriarch Zhao.

Zhao Debang clearly should have been supporting this proposal vigorously, but instead, his attitude was now ambiguous and evasive.

Zhao Sheng felt that although this person was astute and capable, his desire for power was too intense. To monopolize family power, he dared to exploit such an important matter, truly a case where desire for power had clouded his judgment.

After listening, Zhao Debang’s face twitched involuntarily, and then he slowly nodded, “I also agree with the idea of training. However, considering the peril of the Heavenly Burial Plain, and to reduce the death and injury of clan members, I suggest that the first batch should be led by an elder of formidable strength.”

Saying this, he looked toward Zhao Sheng and gently suggested, “Qingyang, how about you take charge of this task personally?”

Zhao Sheng shook his head, “Family Head, I am sorry! I will soon be going to Heavenly Pillar Mountain, and will stay there for at least half a year. I cannot afford to go to the Heavenly Burial Plain.

Um, it is a direct order from the Ancestor.”

Upon the end of his statement, seven or eight elders, who were both venerable and virtuous, suddenly appeared contemplative, as if they had thought of something.

“Heh, the affairs of Heavenly Pillar Mountain are more pressing, I’ll choose someone else. It’s about time!” Zhao Debang, having met with failure, could only laugh it off and change the subject.

With the support of the Family Head, the majority of the Foundation Establishment elders turned to agree with Zhao Sheng’s suggestion.

An hour later, after a detailed and meticulous discussion, the Zhao Family finally settled on the matter of sending clan members to train in the Heavenly Burial Plain.

In reality, only a handful of people within the entire Xinglong Zhao family knew the profound impact the training would have on the Zhao Family’s future.

On the surface, the war between the two realms seemed to be a global conflict involving billions of beings from both the Tianzhu Realm and the Netherworld Ghost Realm.

But in essence, it was also an external manifestation of two worlds attempting to devour each other.

If we liken worlds to living beings with an instinct to evolve, then naturally, worlds have this instinct as well.

The Universe World is generally divided into the Death Realm, Constant Sand World, Spirit Realm, and the legendary Immortal Realm, forming four distinct realms.

For the Constant Sand World to ascend to the Spirit Realm, the quickest route is to devour other worlds, to sacrifice everything from the enemy and finally to transform it into nourishment for its own evolution.

So from this perspective, the war between the two realms can be said to be a fight to the death between two worlds.

Perhaps this struggle could last for billions of years, and who knows how many interdimensional wars it will take before a final victor emerges.

Because the time scale was too long, it was meaningless for the Xinglong Zhao family.

Zhao Sheng only cared about this inter-world war.

There is a saying, “When the heavens unleash killing intent, stars move and lodgings change; when the earth unleashes killing intent, dragons and snakes arise from the land; when humans unleash killing intent, heaven and earth revolve incessantly.”

Though the Heavenly Dao is supremely impartial and regards all creations as mere straw dogs, during the inter-world war, heaven and earth also unleash their “killing intent”.

Once the Heavenly Dao is enraged, the world will be in endless turmoil, creating chaos in the divine secrets, dragons and snakes will arise from the land, numerous individuals and forces will seize the opportunity to rise, and countless powerhouses and forces will perish in a short period of time.

The reason for this is that the matter is related to the concept of the Innate Five Fortunes and Five Virtues.

The Innate Five Fortunes, which accompany the birth of the Five Virtues, one fortune restrains one virtue and vice versa.

The Five Fortunes are Qi Fortune, Killing Destiny, Cutting Destiny, End of Fortune, and Tribulation Fate.

The Five Virtues are also divided into Saintly Virtue, Yin Virtue, Blessings, Merit, and Moral Virtue.

For now, let us not dwell on the cyclical generation and overcoming relationships between the Five Fortunes and the Five Virtues.

As soon as an inter-world war begins, the Heavenly Dao will actively descend the Innate Virtue onto those who have made significant contributions to their own world.

If the Human Clan forces of Tianzhu Realm can defeat the invaders and counterattack the Netherworld Ghost Realm, let alone plunder the enemy’s world, one can imagine just how “pleased” their own Heavenly Dao would be.

Saints have said: Wherever the Heavenly Dao focuses, prosperity follows!

Why does the Vast Sect spare no effort in piloting the Sky-reaching Cloud Ship, painstakingly shattering meteorites from beyond the sky, and blocking outsiders who intrude into this realm without permission?

Why has the Ksitigarbha Sect diligently arranged the Earth Veins for ten thousand years?

Why does the Supreme Sensing Sect always emerge in chaotic times to save the masses, and why do they always have insight into the divine secrets?

How were the clans of Heavenly Destiny of Tianzhu Realm born?

When these questions are viewed in connection with the Heavenly Dao, one cannot help but have a moment of sudden realization.

When the Heavenly Dao favors a person or a group, the great benefits that follow naturally need not be said.

Zhao Xuanjing, before he left, had specifically entrusted Zhao Sheng with this matter, and the implications were self-evident.

Additionally, the reason Zhao Sheng was privy to such highly secretive information was twofold: one was that he had married an excellent wife, and the other was Zhao Xuanjing’s unique status in the Ksitigarbha Sect, which allowed him to read these secrets from top-secret scrolls.

Zhao Sheng also learned that among the Ten Great Sects of Central Continent, the Purple Sun Sect, Sky-splitting Sword Dao, and the Immortal Device Sect were the three that had repeated merits in the inter-world war ten thousand years ago, which allowed them to stand out after the war and eventually grow into the colossal entities that they are today.

…

A month later, when the first group of fifteen Qi Refining Clan members, led by a Foundation Establishment Late Stage elder, set off for the Heavenly Burial Plain, Zhao Sheng also bid farewell to his wife and quietly left Xinglong City.

The Elixir Cauldron Sect was about six thousand miles from Xinglong Origin, and it took Zhao Sheng three days to reach Nine Tripods Square.

After waiting another two days, he disguised himself as an ordinary Loose Cultivator and boarded the Mountain Shifting Cloud Boat.

Moments later, the gigantic silvery-white cloud boat silently ascended into the Heavenly Gang Atmosphere and then sped off towards the heavens.

Twenty days later, almost nine hundred years having passed, Zhao Sheng once again saw the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, known as the “Central Pillar of Heaven”.

Standing on the deck, he gazed from afar, only to see a giant peak piercing the sky above the vast Cloud Sea, like a pillar holding up the heavens, with its upper half disappearing into a higher layer of the Cloud Sea; its majestic grandeur defied description in words.

In an instant, the Mountain Shifting Cloud Boat approached Heavenly Pillar Mountain, and suddenly all one could see were the steep and sheer cliffs in front of them, filling their line of sight. Looking around, the earthen and stony cliff faces stretched endlessly to the left and right, their ends invisible to the eye.

Heavenly Pillar Mountain was so vast that the Mountain Shifting Cloud Boat seemed like it would crash into it the next moment, and immediately a sense of intense suffocation overcame everyone.

Fortunately, in the next second, the Mountain Shifting Cloud Boat dipped its bow and quickly flew downward, disappearing into the Cloud Sea in an instant.

After merely two breaths, as the dense Cloud Sea passed, the green and yellow land below instantly came into view, bringing relief to everyone’s hearts.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Sheng flew out of the cloud boat, turned into a streak of light, and directly entered the vast Heavenly Pillar Cave not far away.
