Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

“Young Miss, I really can’t think of a solution?” Hayasaka Ai shook her head. “We don’t have anything to trade with supernatural forces.”

Kaguya Shinomiya was immediately disheartened.

"In that case, we'll have to resort to borrowing. But—that's too risky."

Although she has not yet taken over the family, Kaguya Shinomiya has seen a lot.

The business world is like a battlefield; one mistake can lead to ruin and death.

Faced with the prospect of borrowing money, she naturally dared not act rashly.

Hayasaka Ai sighed: "How about this, Miss? Let's not borrow money for now. Why don't you hang out in the group for a while, see what everyone is like, and then make a decision?"

"Yes." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded. "Ai, you're right. I need to see what kind of people they are. Maybe things will take a turn for the better."

Chapter 302 Gathering at Jinshan Temple, Shocking the World's Strongest Figures (4/7, Please Subscribe)

Above the sky, wispy clouds drifted by, upon which stood Taoist priests with ethereal and otherworldly airs.

Occasionally, sword light would flash across the void, and within the sword light, there would be figures with extraordinary bearing.

With Fahai's sacrificial ceremony to heaven and earth concluded, the bigwigs of various factions immediately became restless.

"Master Fahai is the first person in five hundred years to perform a sacrifice to Heaven and Earth without suffering a backlash. He must have gained something!"

As a result, all the leaders of various factions headed to Jinshan Temple.

And at this time.

Jinshan Temple.

Fahai had anticipated this, and with a single command, the young monks were already preparing vegetarian dishes to welcome the arriving guests.

"The old Taoist priest has arrived!"

A beam of light descended, and a lean old Taoist priest appeared in front of the gate of Jinshan Temple.

"Greetings, Celestial Master! Please come in!"

The old celestial master nodded and was about to take a step when a white cloud descended, and a Taoist priest wearing a yellow robe walked down.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Lin. You couldn't sit still either, so you came over?"

Lin Yu bowed slightly and said with emotion, "Now that such a big thing has happened, how can I sit still? Of course I have to come and ask for the reason in person."

"That's exactly what I was thinking too," the Celestial Master said with a smile. "Let's go inside and talk about it first. I reckon the other fellow Daoists will be arriving soon."

"good!"

The two strode forward and entered the temple.

Moments later, numerous streaks of light and sword light descended.

"The leader of the Shu Mountain sect has arrived!"

"The leader of the Quanzhen Sect has arrived!"

"..."

Suddenly, the main hall of Jinshan Temple was filled with masters from all directions.

"Little monk, has your Master Fahai not arrived yet?"

Someone asked eagerly.

The young monk quickly bowed and replied, "Please wait a moment, benefactor. Zen Master Fahai is currently bathing and fasting, and will be there shortly."

The old celestial master laughed: "Fahai is just that particular. Well then, let's wait a while."

After waiting for a while, everyone suddenly smelled a faint sandalwood fragrance, and then heard a tinkling sound.

Looking outside, I saw a monk dressed in white robes, leaning on a staff, striding towards me.

The monk had a solemn face with a faint glow of light emanating from him, truly the appearance of a virtuous and eminent monk.

"Fahai is different from before. Today he seems to have the appearance of a Buddha. Could it be that his spiritual cultivation has greatly improved?"

The old master stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Everyone else was stunned.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, Fahai's cultivation has advanced to its current level.

"Amitabha Buddha, Fahai greets all benefactors!"

Fahai approached and performed a Buddhist salute. "I already know why you have come. This is exactly what I wanted to say!"

"Have you ever considered the cause of the calamity that killed the immortals five hundred years ago?"

The old celestial master pondered, "Could it be that the gods have interfered in mortal affairs, thus causing entanglements of cause and effect, and bringing about calamity?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "No, no, there are only a few immortals and Buddhas who interfere in human affairs. Now, there are no immortals or Buddhas left in the Heavenly Court or Mount Ling. This reason is clearly not right."

The abbot of Shaolin Temple stepped forward and said, "It should be the end of the Dharma era. The World-Honored One once said in the Buddhist scriptures that there will be an end of the Dharma era in the world."

Others also shared their opinions.

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Fahai.

Fahai gently shook his head: "None of them are correct! Five hundred years ago, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth reached its peak, which was a sign that heaven and earth were about to ascend to the Great Thousand World. However, that ascension failed, which caused the Heavenly Dao to abandon the cultivation methods of that time. Immortals and Buddhas were also among those to be purged, and naturally they perished together."

"This……"

Everyone's eyes widened.

Ordinary cultivators are unfamiliar with the levels and advancements of the world.

Unless one has a lineage from a major sect, they might only know a little bit about it.

The old Celestial Master's voice trembled: "Is it simply because the ascension of Heaven and Earth failed that the immortals and Buddhas ceased to exist?"

Lin Yu: "The immortals and Buddhas have also done great deeds for the world in the past, so why doesn't Heaven show them leniency?"

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs." Fahai sighed softly. "Since the cultivation methods of immortals and Buddhas are useless to the Heavenly Dao, then immortals and Buddhas are naturally useless as well. As for achievements? Slaying demons and monsters, bestowing blessings upon the world? These things may be meritorious to the human race, but to the Heavenly Dao, they may mean nothing! After all, all living beings in the Heavenly Dao are treated equally. Demons killing people and humans killing demons are just common occurrences."

The old celestial master felt his Dao heart was somewhat unstable, so he chanted "Infinite Heavenly Venerable" to calm his mind.

The others were the same; their expressions changed drastically, and they felt a profound shock to their souls.

"If cultivating spiritual energy doesn't work, then what about the demon race?" Lin Yu frowned. "Isn't the demon race's method of condensing demon cores also a way of cultivating spiritual energy?"

Fahai sighed: "The reason why the demon race can cultivate is actually due to the human race."

The old celestial master was puzzled: "Did it originate from the human race?"

"Humans themselves can no longer cultivate spiritual energy, so how can demons cultivate demon cores just because humans can? This old Daoist needs to hear Master Fahai's explanation carefully." Lin Yu frowned.

Fahai remained calm and explained, "It's truly a testament to the exceptional talent of the human race. The Heavenly Dao had just purged immortals, Buddhas, and high-level cultivators, and yet the human race created the path of cultivation through incense offerings. Isn't this going against the Heavenly Dao?"

"Currently, humanity remains the dominant force in the world, and human cultivators are linked to the fate of humanity, making it inconvenient for the Heavenly Dao to intervene directly. Therefore, powerful demons have emerged as a result."

"Think about it, everyone. Haven't we seen the demon race grow stronger as our cultivation has increased over the years?"

The old Celestial Master was shocked: "I previously thought it was due to the cycle of Heaven and the balance of Yin and Yang. It turns out that Heaven wants to eliminate us."

"This……"

No one expected this.

He dedicated his entire life to suppressing the demon race and worked tirelessly for the sake of the Nine Provinces, only to find that the demon race arose because of cultivators.

This result is really hard to accept.

"There's another piece of evidence," Fahai sighed, "In the past five hundred years, apart from me, have all the fellow Daoists who offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth been eliminated?"

Upon hearing this, even those who didn't believe it had no choice but to accept the fact.

(Li Hao) When offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, cultivators are exposed to Heaven and Earth, without the protection of human fortune.

And so, they all perished.

This is strong evidence, leaving them no choice but to believe it.

"Why did the monk and Zen master not suffer any calamity from Heaven and Earth during their recent sacrifices? Could it be that the great calamity of Heaven and Earth has passed, and we can cultivate ancient techniques again?"

Someone asked in a trembling voice, their voice filled with joy.

Fahai shook his head: "Naturally, it's not because the calamity of heaven and earth has passed, but because I have found a solution."

Then he explained the reason why the world was cleaning up the high-level cultivators.

He then explained the origins of the path to becoming a celestial being.

Everyone was deeply shocked by what they heard.

"Other worlds?"

"The path to immortality without any spiritual energy?"

"Has Heaven already granted it?"

"This... Master Fahai, you spoke too quickly. Let us think about it; we feel like our brains can't process it all." Mai.
