My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 468 Li Wei, you must ascend to immortality soon!
From the moment Li Wei entered the Lingxiao Palace, Confucius hovered beside him, looking at the surrounding gods and the magnificent Lingxiao Palace shrouded in countless clouds with a complex expression.

[I never imagined I'd return to Heaven in this way! So many years have passed, and this place seems unchanged.]

As the first rebel in history to be called "Great Sage", Confucius later accepted the Heavenly Court's offer of amnesty for the sake of his ideals. He entered the Heavenly Court for a period of time as the Great Sage and presided over the crucial "Sage Reform"!
The achievements he left behind still shine among the stars of Heaven today. For example, the Heavenly Department of Selection of Teachers, as well as the positions of Wenquxing (the God of Literature) and Kuixing (the God of Literature), were all laid by Confucius.

Therefore, He knew the Lingxiao Palace inside and out, and also knew some of the people in the palace inside and out.

[Hehehe! So many tens of thousands of years have passed, and so many old friends are still alive!!]

Confucius sneered, and the calamity around him surged, instinctively wanting to drag these people into the calamity.

But fate is fair.

Within the independent causal lines of destiny forged by the great calamity.
Since these great calamity settlers can develop secretly without being discovered by the Heavenly Court, then the Heavenly Court, in turn, will not be shrouded in their calamity.

Unless it's in a special area like the Dragon Tomb, or in the kind of spacetime storm used by the Huai River Dragon King, Confucius cannot bring these people into the tribulation for the time being.

But even so,
Confucius's malice was also transmitted to these gods in the heavenly court through the void, and they couldn't help but shiver!

That's right.

A great calamity has arrived!

And it was right in front of them.

But it cannot be looked at directly, cannot be peered at, and cannot be captured.

This feeling was like a mortal seeing a ghost, terrifying the gods in heaven.
Even in their own lair, under the protection of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Constellations and the Lingxiao Palace, and beside the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors and the Five Elders, they felt no sense of security whatsoever.

They didn't even know how to face it!

at last,

After a long silence, Laozi slowly stepped forward, surveying his surroundings intently, and said: "I, the Three Pure Ones! Now I speak to the Great Calamity Purifier. Are you still willing to communicate with us?"

Confucius scoffed.

These guys will do anything to survive!
Very well, I shall meet them.

Li Wei listened intently for a moment, then asked, "Confucius's will has received your response. What do you wish to communicate?"

The surrounding gods immediately widened their eyes.

The Great Calamity Purifiers can actually conduct peaceful communication? This is a major discovery that could impact the entire history of immortals!
Suppressing their shock, the Three Pure Ones, as if encountering extraterrestrials for the first time, solemnly asked: "Why has this great calamity arrived so many years earlier than expected?"

Confucius immediately laughed:

[The great calamity has never been far away, so how can it be mentioned in advance? Don't you yourselves know how each of your Heavenly Emperors died?]

The Three Pure Ones remained silent.

The Supreme Heavenly Emperor became agitated and couldn't help but ask, "So how exactly did the previous Heavenly Emperors die?"

The death of the Heavenly Emperor was an absolute secret of the Heavenly Court; even the Supreme Heavenly Emperor did not know the specifics.
He knew that every great calamity would bring about a version change, and that every version change would inevitably lead to the fall of the Heavenly Emperor, rather than the version changing only after the Heavenly Emperor's fall.

The order matters, and the meaning is completely different!
So this time, He even disregarded the "rules" of Heaven and was eager to get the truth from Confucius.

Confucius didn't mind giving Shanghao a hint, but because this secret was so significant, he couldn't reveal it directly, so he could only say it indirectly:

Isn't the reason for the Heavenly Emperor's death precisely the reason why our Confucian family must assist you?

【Every time the Heavenly Emperor dies, our Confucian sages are buried with you Heavenly Emperors. Can't you understand the mystery behind this?】

The Supreme Emperor seemed to understand something, but he couldn't quite grasp it yet, so he wanted to ask further.
But the Supreme One spoke first: "Why is it necessary to establish a separate causal thread for this great calamity?"

Ok?
The gods found it somewhat strange, since the answer was obvious, wasn't it? Of course, it was to shield the Heavenly Court from its perception and to brew a calamity.

But looking at Laozi's serious expression, everyone suddenly realized that the meaning behind this answer was likely more complex than they had thought, and its impact would be more serious than imagined.

Confucius smiled: "Didn't you already guess? Three Pure Ones! That's right, just as you thought, this calamity will be unprecedented!"

This time, it won't be something that can be quelled simply by the death of a group of gods, a few Great Luo Immortals, or a Heavenly Emperor. The entire reality will be altered!

All the causes and effects throughout history will be settled.

"When the time comes, it won't just be us liquidators coming, but also... hehe!"

Li Wei suddenly stopped talking.

The gods glared at them angrily: "Can't you just finish what you're saying?"

"My lords, it's not that I don't want to say it, but Confucius has already said all that, and I can't repeat it all!"

Although Laozi wanted to ask more questions, there was a gap of time and destiny between him and Confucius. As long as Confucius was unwilling to speak, no one could do anything about it.

Moreover, since the Great Calamity Purifier was communicating with the Heavenly Court so peacefully for the first time, He did not want to push Confucius too far.

In addition, He already had enough information.

So in the end, Laozi could only suppress his anxiety and specifically remind him: "That's settled then! Li Wei, continue to maintain communication with Confucius. If anything happens, remember to report it immediately. Also..."

A strange light flashed in the Supreme Being's eyes, then he suddenly said: "The Heavenly Court will now fully support you in advancing the reforms of the Holy Path of Education. You may begin preparing your divine position!!"

This was completely unexpected by Li Wei.

In a daze, he seemed to see the word "arrangement," and couldn't help but say with some fear, "Lord Lao, I haven't even obtained the Nascent Soul Certificate yet, should we wait a little longer?"

He'd rather slow down than fall into this old guy's script!
[You young people of your generation have it much easier than we did back then. The dark web just happened to come up with something as useful as a cultivation-based payment system!]

[New technologies are meant to be used; I'm confident that a mere Nascent Soul stage technique won't be a problem for you!]

Since the Three Pure Ones have said so, what else can Li Wei do?
Of course, I accepted the Heavenly Court's full support with tears in my eyes!
However, he was very curious about one thing: since he was clearly connected with the Great Calamity, why did Shanghao and the Three Pure Ones want Li Wei to ascend to heaven as soon as possible?
Aren't they afraid that Livy will bring calamity into the Heavenly Court?
As if knowing what Li Wei was thinking, the Supreme Lord gently tapped his head with his whisk: "Foolish child! Do you think the Heavenly Tribulation Dao that our Heavenly Court possesses came from? Wasn't it stolen from the Great Tribulation?"

Although many people have always felt that the Heavenly Court was at a significant disadvantage in the face of the great calamity, the final result shows that the Heavenly Court actually had the upper hand throughout the entire process!
Otherwise, the Heavenly Court wouldn't have been able to hold out until version 7.19 of the Heavenly Dao; it would have been destroyed by the Great Calamity long ago!
Anyway,

In the previous great calamities, although the Heavenly Court paid countless heavy prices and suffered countless major losses, it overcame the calamities time and time again and gained many immortal achievements.

During this period, countless talented individuals researched and analyzed the Great Calamity, resulting in numerous achievements in the Daoist arts.

For example, the "sacrifice calamity" theory used by the Supreme Emperor Haotian this time, the "power of thunder calamity" of the Heavenly Court, and the "five signs of decay of heaven and man" supernatural power of the Plague Department.

These methods actually contain the power of a "great calamity"!

The laws governing humanity are the cornerstone of its operation. Even a great calamity could not function without the support of the laws.

[But the laws are fair! All laws are public networks and can be controlled by others!]

Therefore, the method of tribulation is also a method, and the path of tribulation is also a path. If you can ascend with the fortune of tribulation, you might be able to take advantage of the opportunity of ascension and transformation, as well as the baptism of the heavenly tribulation, to try to master the path of tribulation.

The Heavenly Court desperately needs people skilled in thievery!
Therefore, even if it might lead to the invasion of Heavenly Court by calamity, they are willing to bear this price. After all, regardless of whether Li Wei ascends or not, calamity will eventually invade Heavenly Court. It will not decrease because of Li Wei, nor will it increase because of Li Wei.

As long as it's within your means, acquiring a skilled bandit is definitely a win.

However, even a calamity is still a calamity. Once you enter a calamity, there is no chance of survival. Even a prodigy like Li Wei may not be able to survive the calamity and reach the day of ascension.

In addition, there are very few positions for gods to begin with.

Therefore, there are very few people who can ascend to heaven with the calamity throughout history. Sometimes, you won't see even one in an entire version. This time, it's rare to find such a loyal, powerful, and promising talent. Of course, the Heavenly Court will cultivate him with great effort!
Of course,
What's making the Three Pure Ones so eager is Li Wei himself!
Given Li Wei's relationship with Confucius, coupled with his extraordinary level of mutation, if he were to cultivate the Dao of Robbery, he might just give us a huge surprise!

Furthermore, cultivation affixes can now be transferred. If this guy acquires a top-tier calamity affix, then...

A potential catastrophe is about to occur!
The reformed system of the Faith-Baptism Orthodox Church.

The highly revived Kunpeng bloodline
And then there's this Thunderous Body, mutated to an almost heaven-defying degree.
His potential is so great that even the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, and the Supreme Emperor Haotian are tempted!
now,

These top figures in the Heavenly Court looked at Li Wei as if he were a plate of delicious meat, wishing they could devour him completely.

I really hope he ascends to heaven soon!
