With Chen jingzhai’s guarantee, the five calamity Immortals immediately returned to prepare for the time tribulation. They had 180 years of spare time, enough for them to make arrangements.
They left the Jade Emperor Palace and flew to the nine Dragons Celestial Island of the Xuan you heaven. They rang the bell and waited in the meeting hall.
The first to arrive was star sovereign Hong Luan’s avatar. She had an avatar that was cultivating in the ninth branch’s ancestral hall. The red dust sect was best at avatar techniques.
Soon after, Yan Xun and most of the immortals in the sect had arrived.
Golden Immortals and red Kite sat on the top, with Yan Li and the other elders on his left and right, followed by the heaven Immortals and true immortals.
“The heavenly court has been established for more than 1600 years. Our allheaven immortal gate finally has the foundation to be promoted to a Daoist sect. We are very lucky!” Immortal Long Yuan sighed.
“The bird that takes the lead is shot,” said immortal xianglu.”If we promote to a Daoist sect, the other immortal sects won’t be able to sit still. It’s just a title.”
“That’s right,” immortal taizhen said.”The allheaven immortal sect will not be allowed to become a Daoist sect for the next 1000 years. When you break through to the Golden immortal stage, you will naturally be able to rectify your name.”
The three Immortals immediately set the tone.
It was both funny and helpless. Ever since the five of them had become golden Immortals, there had been a commotion within the allheaven immortal sect, and everyone wanted to smoothly promote to a Dao sect.
However, if the five tribulation Transcenders didn’t say anything, no one would be able to make this happen. The heavenly court had a set of rules for promoting to a Daoist sect, so it was naturally impossible for the people of the allheaven celestial gate to have different opinions.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit heavy. Since the Golden immortal Dao ancestor had spoken, there was naturally no excuse or room for rebuttal. At this moment, all thoughts disappeared.
“Let’s talk about some serious business!” Star sovereign Hong Ling said.
“Alright,” Fu Yunzi said,”this time, it’s a Dao-tribulation matter. Since it’s already been decided and has a great impact on the future, I’ve informed everyone in advance.”
“The five of us and the venerable sovereigns have already set a time tribulation.” Iron sword immortal said with a cold expression,”after a reincarnation cycle, all Immortals and cultivators below the skyimmortal stage will have their lifespans reduced. Our sect’s disciples and Immortals are no exception.”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the immortals were in an uproar, especially the group of true immortals. Their expressions changed greatly, and they no longer had the calmness and composure from before. All of them were in disbelief.
As a genuine immortal of the allheaven immortal sect, they were superior to others no matter where they went. After all, in theory, they could call venerable sovereigns “Lord advisors.” After becoming a genuine immortal of the heavenly court, they would have the protection of the heavenly court and the immortal sect. They could live a carefree and happy life without worrying about their longevity.
As soon as the time tribulation appeared, he was immediately stunned.
“Why did you set up the time tribulation?” Star sovereign Hong Ling asked.
The group of true immortals quieted down and looked helplessly at the Golden immortal Dao ancestor. They also wanted an explanation. No one wanted their lifespans to be reduced by a layer for no reason.
“The universe was born, and venerable sovereigns took in too many people.” Iron sword immortal replied,”if it were only mortals, there would naturally be no problem. However, there are already over a trillion cultivators and Immortals. This is not including the demonic beast race, sea beast race, plant race, and so on.”
“The way of heaven takes away what is more than enough to make up for what is not enough,” immortal taizhen said.”Cultivators take in too much vital Qi and demand too much from the eight desolates universe. Their lifespans are too long, which is not conducive to the development of the eight desolates universe. We can only reduce the amount.”
“This isn’t a bad thing,” immortal Longyuan said.”First, there won’t be any impact if you become a first revolution heaven immortal. Second, if you don’t become a first revolution heaven immortal, you can reincarnate. Third, the sect’s luck will become more stable. Fourth, aptitude is the most important.”
The Tribulation of time had a very deep meaning.
Some of them were said by the five disaster Immortals, which was survival of the fittest. It allowed the talented cultivators to stand out and reduce the number of mediocre people, so as not to occupy too many resources. This was beneficial to the development of the immortal sects and the adjustment of the heavenly court.
For example, the negative emotions born after the Great Tribulation of time would become the energy source for the devil King to open up the devil World. The negative universe with the devil planet as its core required a large amount of negative emotions.
Once the time tribulation was exposed, how many Immortals would be jealous, curse, and cry? how many cultivators would curse at the heaven and earth at the end of their lives? at that time, the negative energy that was born would allow the demon world to open up quickly, saving a lot of trouble.
“But this is not fair!” A true immortal called out.
“Cultivation has always been unfair,” immortal Jialu said calmly.”In order to strengthen the heavenly court, the venerable sovereign used vital Qi tide several times. It was fair at that time, but many mediocre people wasted resources.”
If they did not use the essential Qi tide, but used the formation to accurately gather the essential Qi, then they would be able to cultivate more Immortals one-on-one. The reason why the heavenly court had become bloated was that many mediocre Immortals had occupied the positions.
Why did they implement the system of elimination at the end? it was because they wanted to get rid of the water and keep the immortals of the heavenly court alive. The heavenly court needed the capable to rise, but this was far from enough. They had to solve the problem at the root, and the Tribulation of time would appear.
Cultivators and Immortals no longer enjoyed long lifespans, but instead, they needed to advance by leaps and bounds within a set lifespan. The mediocre would naturally die from the end of their lifespans, while the geniuses with exceptional aptitudes would become heaven Immortals, increasing the number of heaven Immortals in the heavenly court.
Without the long-lived true immortals with mediocre aptitudes occupying the resources, more resources would naturally fall into the hands of genius cultivators. Such a virtuous cycle would increase the number of heaven Immortals in the heavenly court in the future, and even golden Immortals would be present.
