Chapter 2157: Chapter 1548: Accident (Part 2)

Don’t be fooled by the mere forty percent, not even half, yet it’s already exceedingly high!

Like many others, this is the common scenario for cultivators attempting to break through to Heavenly Immortal.

It can be said that many Earth Immortals are gambling with their lives, striving for that mere twenty or thirty percent chance.

After they finished speaking, the Clan Leader spoke again, "All of you elders are exceptional talents of the family, able to attempt the breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal, which surpasses many clan members, but the family’s resources are limited and can only support a few elders."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Several showed confusion, not quite understanding those words.

They’re already trying to break through to Heavenly Immortal Realm, in what ways could the clan still assist them?

Suddenly, Li Yunran recalled a type of Immortal Pill and hurriedly asked, "Is the Clan Leader referring to the Creation Heavenly Pill refined by Ancestor Rui!"

Even though they knew the clan had auctioned Creation Heavenly Pills before and suspected Li Zhirui had refined the Creation Heavenly Pill for the family.

Yet, all these years later, nobody had seen anyone from the family using it, nor were there any leaks of such information, so they could only guess it might exist, unable to confirm the family had Creation Heavenly Pills.

Unexpectedly, the family would use it now, and it was on them!

Thinking about the Creation Heavenly Pill increasing their breakthrough rate to Heavenly Immortal by twenty percent, several clan members began to breathe heavily.

If they took the Creation Heavenly Pill, wouldn’t their chances for breaking through to Heavenly Immortal be much greater?

The Clan Leader observed everyone’s reactions thoroughly, although feeling a bit reluctant, he still said, "I suppose you elders are aware, Creation Heavenly Pills are extremely precious, and Ancestor Rui did not leave many before transcending, thus it’s impossible to satisfy all elders."

"Therefore, after consulting with Spirit Ancestors Qingpeng and Qingcang, it was decided that one Creation Heavenly Pill would be given to elders originally having a thirty percent chance."

In this way, they would have more than half certainty, and with added effort, the possibility for breakthrough would be higher, so the pill wouldn’t be wasted.

Of course, this approach would certainly offend those Earth Immortal clan members with lower certainty.

Since they think this is no different than abandoning them!

Moreover, they believe the Creation Heavenly Pill should be given to them to enhance their chances for breakthrough, possibly enabling more clan members to achieve Heavenly Immortal.

The Clan Leader saw their shifting expressions, some excited, some indignant, some disappointed, but regardless of their reaction, he felt nothing was amiss, even thinking it quite normal.

After all, this concerns whether one can break through to Heavenly Immortal; regardless of being indifferent to fame and fortune, facing the situation of the Creation Heavenly Pill being unrelated to oneself, it would stir emotions within.

Not to mention that they haven’t reached this realm yet.

"If the elders aren’t in a rush, consider accumulating for some more time to strengthen your certainty."

That’s easier said than done, for lifting their breakthrough probability to Heavenly Immortal, who knows how many years that would take.

By then, would there still be suitable Creation Heavenly Pills available to them?

The Clan Leader then told the other Earth Immortals, "Please inscribe your Spiritual Roots onto the Jade Slip and give it to me."

"Because of the limited number of Creation Heavenly Pills and each pill is different, needing to match with one’s Spiritual Roots, if the Spiritual Roots clash but the quantity is insufficient, a draw will be used to decide who takes it."

This is also the simplest way to test luck, and whether luck is thriving or not definitely influences the subsequent Tribulation Transcendence and breakthrough.

Not long after, Li Yunran and the others inscribed their Spiritual Root attributes onto the Jade Slip and handed it to the Clan Leader.

Among them, only two had identical Spiritual Roots, but fortunately, there were two sets of corresponding Creation Heavenly Pills, so they didn’t need a draw.

"I hope you elders won’t waste this precious Creation Heavenly Pill and successfully break through the bottleneck to Heavenly Immortal!" the Clan Leader sincerely wished.

He knew very well that of the five Earth Immortals who received the Creation Heavenly Pill, producing two Heavenly Immortals would already be remarkable, most likely only one might occur.

In the worst-case scenario, all would fail, resulting in the clan losing five Perfect Earth Immortal cultivators, severely reducing strength, and consuming five precious, limited Creation Heavenly Pills.

"We won’t let the clan’s expectations down!" Li Yunran said seriously.

"Indeed! Certainly won’t waste this Creation Heavenly Pill!"

"Then let’s wish the elders fulfill their aspirations!"

Then the Clan Leader didn’t forget to tell other Earth Immortals, "I believe in the near future, you elders can also successfully break through."

Not long after, a group left the clan hall.

"The clan currently urgently needs a newly ascended Heavenly Immortal to boost morale, showcase strength, suppress those restless forces."

The Clan Leader murmured, "Hope all goes smoothly!"

Li Yunran returned to his cave mansion, his mind swirling with thoughts, excitement, anxiety, worry, and anticipation, leaving him unable to calm, let alone attempt breaking through the realm; even daily cultivation caused issues.

So now, the first thing he needs to do is to calm down, steady the turbulent mental state, then take the Creation Heavenly Pill and launch towards Heavenly Immortal Realm!

Not only him, the other four clan members who received Creation Heavenly Pills have similar plans, not eager to take it immediately to avoid waste.

...

Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, Underground Yin World. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

This place is not only the resting place of the deceased but also the Divine Domain of the Earth Element Lady and a group of Yin Gods.

Meanwhile, deep within the Netherworld, the Earth Element Lady stood beside the Polluted Sea, fully exerting the Purification Principle to dissolve the disdainful waves upon the ’sea surface.’

Soon enough, she successfully eradicated this pollution, feeling the merit within her increase slightly, her lips inadvertently curling upward.

"Just over a thousand years, and my karma will be repaid!" the Earth Element Lady mused to herself.

Perhaps to others, over a thousand years seem lengthy, but to her, as long as she successfully repays her karma and transcends, even if the time doubles, she would gladly accept.

It’s worth knowing how long she has waited for this opportunity, who knows how many years.

Now finally seeing the dawn of success, a mere thousand years is nothing.

Unfortunately, things did not proceed smoothly.

Because over the years, the Earth Element Lady continually purified the Polluted Sea, resolving world impurities, leading to the absence of great calamities in Primal Spirit Realm, causing the cultivator count to skyrocket!

And the excessive number of cultivators exerted immense pressure and burden on Primal Spirit Realm.

She focused solely on transcending as soon as possible, unwilling to remain in Primal Spirit Realm, causing her cultivation and realm to stagnate, not daring to break through, overlooking that excess was detrimental!

Thus, an unforeseen great calamity erupted!

Primal Spirit Realm overnight suddenly generated vast Tribulation Evil Energy, enveloping the entire world, its speed leaving almost no creature able to react.

"How did it become this way?"

When the Earth Element Lady recognized the disarray, the calamity had fully erupted.

Only then did she belatedly realize her issues, her expression drastically changing, immediately inspecting how much karma she owed.

The Karmic Force previously offset by merit amounted to merely twenty percent; after this incident, it doubled instantly!

For such an outcome, the Earth Element Lady felt relieved since the Heavenly Dao hadn’t blamed her for everything!

Bear in mind, the fundamental reason for this sudden calamity lies with her!

If the Heavenly Dao attributed everything to her, Earth Element Lady, bearing responsibilities for reincarnation and establishing the Netherworld, might not face Heavenly Punishment, but karma would reach an extremely terrifying level.

By then, her wish to transcend would become a mere luxury.

"Too hasty..."

After calculating, the Earth Element Lady sighed, her expressions complex.

She suddenly recalled that cultivator who taught her Purification Principle had warned her before leaving not to keep the Polluted Sea empty for a long time, saying it wouldn’t be beneficial.
