No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 49: Ascension Soon
Why does the immortal world want to lower the standards for cultivators to ascend to heaven?
Can the standards for monks to ascend to heaven be lowered?
It was the first time that Xu Shun heard that the fairyland could lower the standards for immortals to ascend to heaven!
This is too...

The bottom line of cultivators is very flexible, and the bottom line of immortals in the fairy world is also very flexible!

Reasonable.

When Lan Daoren heard what the head of Lan Dai said, he was surprised and said, "Huh?!"

Lowering the standards for immortals' ascension would be a major event that would shock the world of immortal cultivation and the world of immortals!
"What does the Immortal Realm considering mean?" asked Taoist Lan.

"It means exactly what it says!" said the leader of Lan Dai.

Since the fairy world is considering lowering the standards for cultivators to ascend, it means that they have almost thought it through.

For such a big thing, "considering" is, in a sense, the same as "thinking it over."

"Then doesn't it mean that someone like you can also ascend to heaven?" The first person that Lan Daoren thought of was the head of the Lan Dai sect, and he started to mock.

"What do you mean by a piece of trash like me?" The head of the Lan Dai Sect did not lose his guard at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "In our generation, how many people can be like me?"

"Those favored children of heaven, royal relatives, and the four great genius seeds of the world of immortal cultivation? They are nothing but passing smoke!"

“How many people can achieve what I have?”

"I can't compare with someone as unlucky as you, but I'm much better than others!"

"Who knows, maybe one day I'll break through and become a Mahayana cultivator!"

Not as good as the best but better than the worst, with this mentality, the defense of the Blue Generation leader is probably unparalleled in the world!
My master is just a little abstract, but my headmaster is probably a weirdo!

Can such a person be the leader?
The Qinghua School is doomed to fail!
Xu Shun and Zi Su looked at each other and felt like they were on a pirate ship.

"Aren't you just lucky now? You can ascend from the Yuanshen stage!" Taoist Lan snorted coldly when he heard what the head of the Lan Dai sect said.

“Is it still ascension if the standards for ascension are lowered?” The head of the Blue Era also snorted coldly.

"Under what circumstances would the Immortal Realm want cultivators like us?"

"I'm afraid it's... a last resort!"

"The Grandmaster has already said it in advance, and I'm still foolishly ascending. Isn't that exactly what they want?"

Lan Daoren also fell silent, thinking.

The skin of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the skull of Maitreya, and the lowering of the standards for those who ascend to immortality by the immortal world, all seem to be connected, and the associations are very bad.

"Master, have you told other people about this news?" Taoist Lan asked again.

"I can't make up my mind either, so I ask you for advice. After all, we can refuse to ascend, but you must ascend." said the head of Lan Dai.

After completing the Mahayana stage, one will become a cultivator in the Ascension stage and be pushed to the fairyland by the irresistible force of heaven and earth.

No one has ever encountered such a situation where the immortal world lowers the standards for ascension.

Crisis or crisis?
The head of the Lan family knew what was going on, so he called Master Lan back in a roundabout way.

He was worried about his junior fellow apprentice.

Taoist Lan thought he would go back to the mountain to deal with the matter with Taoist Qingtao, but now it seems that things are more complicated than he imagined.

"It's just like fighting against enemies with soldiers and covering up floods with earth." Lan Daoren thought for a while and said, "Ascension soon! The torrent of ascension soon is coming, and no one can stop it!"

If the fairy world really lowers the standards for ascension, it will be a real "torrent" for the world of immortal cultivation.

How many cultivators who are stuck in the Yuanshen stage, when their lifespans are about to end, ascend to the immortal world without hesitation even though they know there may be pitfalls?

Conspiracy!

No solution!

"Haha~" The head of Lan Dai laughed and said, "Good people don't live long, but evil people live for thousands of years. I think even in the flood, you are still living a good life."

Under such drastic changes, top cultivators like them in the world of immortal cultivation will be irresistibly affected.

The dust of the times fell on them, and they already felt the weight. "What else did the Grandmaster say? Do you have any suggestions?" Lan Daoren continued to ask.

The head of Lan Dai said, "No more. The ancestor described the situation in the fairy world."

Although the fairyland is far away from mortals and cultivators, it is not far from them.

"How long do you estimate it will take?" Lan Dao Ren asked again.

"Based on the efficiency of the fairy world, it might take several decades? One or two hundred years?" said the head of Lan Dai after a moment's hesitation.

Naturally, he also studied the handwriting of the ancestors.

"So are you hoping that the flood will come sooner or later?" Taoist Lan stared at Sect Leader Lan Dai and said.

"Ha!" The head of Lan Dai said with a smile: "Whether you come or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"It's coming. I'm not dead yet. I will naturally ascend. Let's take a look."

"If it doesn't come, I'll die, and it naturally has nothing to do with me!"

That will be a few decades or even one or two hundred years later.

A few decades or one or two hundred years may seem like a long time to ordinary people, but for monks like them, it may pass very quickly.

After exchanging a few sarcastic remarks with Lan Dao Ren, the head of the Lan family left with the golden skull.

He wanted to use it as a chamber pot.

"There is no more interesting chamber pot in the world than this!" said the leader of Lan Dai, holding the skull and smiling.

"What if someone uses the skull of Vairocana Buddha as a chamber pot?" Xu Shun couldn't help but say when he saw that Master Lan Dai was about to leave.

The head of Lan Dai was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "That makes sense."

He turned around and looked at Xu Shun carefully, then said to Lan Dao Ren, "This guy is quite like you! He likes to argue!"

Taoist Lan didn't respond. He waved his sleeves and told him to get out.

After he left, Lan Daoist took Xu Shun and Zi Su to two rooms and said, "This one is Zi Cai's, and that one is Zi Su's."

Their rooms are opposite each other.

Taoist Lan pointed to the room to the south and said, "That belongs to your Senior Brother Zishu."

He pointed to the room to the north and said, "That belongs to your Senior Brother Zi Ran."

The room was the same as theirs, an ordinary bluestone tile house, with the door closed so one couldn't see what was inside.

"The fairy world has undergone a dramatic change. I don't know whether it will be good or bad for your future."

Taoist Lan looked at Xu Shun and Zi Su and said, "After Senior Brother Lan Dai became the head of the mountain, the atmosphere in the mountain has become much stronger than before."

"Practice well in the mountains in the future. If fellow disciples come to visit you, you can visit each other and communicate with each other."

"Yes! Master!" Xu Shun and Zi Su bowed and said.

"Go! It's late today. I will take you to worship the ancestors tomorrow." Taoist Lan gave an order and turned away.

He lived in a house not far away.

"Wait... today seems to be New Year's Eve, let's have a reunion dinner together!"

After walking a long way, Taoist Lan suddenly turned back and said.

Today is New Year's Eve, the last day of the year.

Xu Shun, Lan Dao Ren, Zi Su, and a large group of monsters spent the New Year in the small courtyard.

It was his first year since he came into this world.
