Although the bearded giant was the Supreme Elder of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, a Golden Immortal of the Fourth Tribulation with untapped potential, he was nothing compared to the strength Luo Tian displayed.
To antagonize Luo Tian for the sake of a Fourth Tribulation Golden Immortal who had provoked them was something only a fool would do back then.
As for the killing of the Supreme Elder damaging the sect's prestige? When someone becomes powerful enough to suppress your entire sect, prestige loses its meaning.
Only those who are pragmatic and adaptable can go further on the path of cultivation.
He sized up the sword prodigy that Yin Changsheng always talked about. His cool temperament combined with his delicate face was indeed quite charming.
However, what is even more noteworthy is her divine swordsmanship. After her Tribulation Sword Heart was tricked away by Yin Changsheng, Wen Qiuyue seemed to have embarked on a different path, and her realm and strength did not decline but rather increased.
Of course, this level of strength is still insufficient in front of Luo Tian.
Luo Tian held a slight sense of appreciation for this only sword immortal who was capable of subduing the surviving bastard.
Just as he was about to respond, three streaks of light rushed from afar and swiftly descended at the foot of Yunlai Peak.
As the light dissipated, the three people who had rushed over were none other than Elder He and the two most senior elders of Jade Emperor Mountain, Yu Qian and Yu Kun.
At this moment, He Laodao no longer possessed the arrogance he had shown when he first stepped into Yunlai Peak. With his head down, he wished he could just disappear into the ground.
Shortly after he left, He Laodao witnessed the manifestation of the demon god's avatar and the disappearance of the bearded giant's aura.
Then came the terrifying Ninth Calamity, and the white jade giant elephant that was forcibly refined by the Soul Flame.
Having progressed to this point, how could he not know that Luo Tian, whom he had overlooked in Yin Changsheng's cave, was an unprecedentedly powerful figure?
This time, Yin Changsheng, who seemed to be an anomaly, directly latched onto a powerful figure.
He quickly informed the bewildered Elders Yuqian and Yukun, and then they returned to Yunlai Peak together.
As soon as they landed, Yu Qian and Yu Kun, both white-haired and white-bearded Seven Tribulation Golden Immortals, bowed to Luo Tian with their hands clasped and smiled slightly:
"Honored guests have graced us with their presence at Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto. We apologize for our failure to properly welcome you!"
Luo Tian remained unmoved by the respect shown by Yu Qian and Yu Kun.
They had previously sent men to arrest Yin Changyu with great force, but now that they have witnessed Luo Tian's methods, they have changed their tune. This is a classic case of being arrogant before and obsequious afterward.
Luo Tian didn't respond, but Yu Qian, still shameless and smiling, continued to ask:
"I wonder what brings Your Excellency to my Jade Emperor Pavilion?"
"If there is anything my Jade Emperor Pavilion can do to help, my Jade Emperor Pavilion will certainly comply."
Luo Tian frowned slightly upon hearing this, and was about to refuse.
But thinking of that anomaly who had already retreated back to his cultivation chamber, Luo Tian changed the subject and spoke directly:
"I do have a small favor to ask you for."
Yu Qian quickly patted his chest and said:
"What is it, Your Excellency? Please speak freely!"
Luo Tian glanced discreetly in the direction of Yin Changsheng, a wicked smile curving his lips as he said:
"Proclaim this to all the immortals of the Xuanhuang Great World: In five days, Yin Changsheng will undergo the unprecedented tenth tribulation to quell the eternal calamity of Xuanhuang!"
Chapter 295 A Cunning Scheme! (Two-in-One)
This announcement to all was not a spur-of-the-moment decision by Luo Tian, but rather the result of careful consideration.
After several tests and seizing some of the power of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, Luo Tian vaguely learned the purpose of the White Bone Bodhisattva in bringing down calamity to the Xuanhuang Great World.
He spreads the authority of death in this way, with the fundamental purpose of replacing the original underworld and the cycle of reincarnation.
The specific reason is still unknown, but the fact that the White Bone Bodhisattva has been plotting for countless years must have a reason.
If one wants to replace the underworld and the six realms of reincarnation with calamity, then all living beings in the Xuanhuang Great World will inevitably have a deep belief in calamity itself.
They believe that calamities are a crucial part of the Xuanhuang Great World, and that they are naturally occurring; only in this way can the authority of calamities be maintained.
Yin Changsheng's passage through the ninth tribulation was seen by the White Bone Bodhisattva as a violation of the rules of death established by Him, which is why the White Bone Bodhisattva harbored extraordinary hostility towards Yin Changsheng.
What Luo Tian wanted to exploit was this hostility.
If Yin Changsheng attempts to trample on the White Bone Bodhisattva's rules of death once again during his tenth tribulation, the White Bone Bodhisattva will likely personally intervene to kill Yin Changsheng in order to stabilize the rules of death.
Luo Tian's goal was to seize the opportunity presented by the White Bone Bodhisattva.
However, such a plan is not foolproof. If the White Bone Bodhisattva is truly willing to temporarily set aside his killing intent towards Yin Changsheng and not take action personally, allowing Yin Changsheng to naturally overcome this tenth tribulation, then Luo Tian's plan will be useless.
With the war about to begin in the Radiant God System, Luo Tian has to go back to oversee the battlefield to prevent the Supreme God from interfering. He simply doesn't have much time to waste with the White Bone Bodhisattva.
Therefore, once the White Bone Bodhisattva drags on, there's not much Luo Tian can do.
Luo Tian was unwilling to gamble on whether the White Bone Bodhisattva would actually intervene, so he added an extra layer of insurance to the matter based on Yin Changsheng's tenth tribulation.
The news of his impending tenth tribulation spread far and wide, attracting numerous immortals from the Xuanhuang Great World to come and witness the ceremony.
If Yin Changsheng survives this tenth tribulation safely, he will become the focus of the entire Xuanhuang Great World, having twice broken the legend of death. Countless immortals will spread the word, which will surely affect the White Bone Bodhisattva's plans.
The ninth tribulation should have been a death sentence, but it was repeatedly bypassed and even skipped the tenth tribulation, which undoubtedly shakes the rules of death set by the White Bone Bodhisattva.
When calamity no longer symbolizes death, it means that everything the White Bone Bodhisattva planned has vanished, and it may even shake the most fundamental authority over death.
Therefore, with all the immortals watching, the White Bone Bodhisattva had to take action!
Whether by using some means to conceal themselves and intervene in the Tenth Calamity, or by descending in person, they must use swift and decisive methods to kill Yin Changsheng in order to maintain the stability of the Calamity system.
This also happens to be exactly what Luo Tian wanted to achieve by bringing out the White Bone Bodhisattva.
Luo Tian's methods were a completely open and aboveboard scheme!
But apart from Luo Tian, everyone else found Luo Tian's words incomprehensible.
Why was Luo Tian able to make the decision for Yin Changsheng to undergo ten tribulations? And why was it necessary to spread this matter throughout the entire Xuanhuang Great World?
After a moment of confusion, the four Golden Immortals couldn't help but turn their gazes to Yin Changyu.
They were unaware that Yin Changyu was an incarnation of Yin Changsheng, and naturally regarded Yin Changyu as the one who needed to undergo tribulation.
Yin Changyu nodded calmly amidst the gazes of the four Golden Immortals, indicating that she also agreed to the matter.
Anyway, she wasn't involved, and as Yin Changsheng's avatar, she didn't need to undergo tribulation.
Since the parties involved had all agreed, the four powerful Golden Immortals naturally didn't say anything to refute it.
Yu Qian and Yu Kun bowed respectfully to Luo Tian, their expressions solemn as they said:
"We will definitely complete the task assigned by Your Majesty!"
Luo Tian nodded, and casually added a sentence.
"When spreading this news, just use the names of Jade Emperor Pavilion and Yin Changsheng. I don't want to be targeted by any host."
Luo Tian's casual words left the four Golden Immortals puzzled.
Only in the secluded cultivation chamber a hundred miles underground, a figure, extremely frustrated, couldn't help but tremble slightly, feeling as if he had gotten himself into some big trouble again.
......
As a message released by the Jade Emperor Pavilion, one of the three overlords of the Xuanhuang Great World, spread rapidly, the Xuanhuang Great World, which had fallen into chaos due to anomalies, ushered in a rare and brief period of peace.
"The only Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal in the Xuanhuang Great World, seeking to transcend the unprecedented tenth tribulation and quell the eternal calamity of Xuanhuang!"
The news caused an uproar throughout the entire Xuanhuang Great World.
However, what surprised everyone was not the tenth tribulation that Yin Changsheng, the Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal, was about to undergo, but rather why this Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal was courting death.
Yin Changsheng's ability to overcome the ninth tribulation of a Celestial Immortal proves that she is fully qualified to advance to the Golden Immortal realm. With the foundation of a ninth-tribulation Celestial Immortal, extending her lifespan by tens of thousands of years in the Golden Immortal realm would not be a problem.
But Yin Changsheng insisted on undergoing the so-called tenth tribulation. This willful and suicidal act left everyone who knew Yin Changsheng somewhat baffled.
As for the last phrase, "Ping Xuanhuang, an eternal calamity," few people took it seriously.
Even if Yin Changsheng really became an unheard-of Ten Tribulation Celestial Immortal, it would be a completely different concept from the calamity that had accompanied the Xuanhuang Great World for countless years. No one believed that the calamity would end because Yin Changsheng had passed the tenth tribulation.
However, this news, with the Jade Emperor Pavilion's profound heritage and Yin Changsheng's status as a Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal as its selling point, has generated a lot of anticipation.
Even some immortals who didn't care about the conflicts of the Xuanhuang Great World couldn't help but go to the Jade Emperor Sect to witness the feat of transcending the tenth tribulation.
After all, it is the tenth tribulation that has never been seen before. As long as one witnesses the tenth tribulation, even if Yin Changsheng perishes under it, the trip will not have been in vain.
Within four days, the entire area outside the Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto was occupied by a large number of immortals who had come after hearing the news.
Various large flying magical artifacts, pavilions and palaces, and even small grotto-heavens appeared in this region.
True immortals and earth immortals, who are rarely seen, can be found everywhere. Celestial immortals are even more numerous. Even the Golden Immortals, who can be regarded as overlords in the Xuanhuang Great World, stand in the sky, with their Dharma forms manifesting like the sun behind them!
The immortals who had just arrived outside the Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto-heaven saw this situation and even thought that various forces from the Xuanhuang Great World were trying to besiege the Jade Emperor Pavilion. They were so frightened that they almost turned around and left.
Some immortals also sensed the strange atmosphere in this area and began to speculate in their hearts.
The announcement issued by the Jade Emperor Pavilion, one of the three overlords of the Xuanhuang Great World, naturally carries a great deal of influence.
On the very first day after the announcement, some small and medium-sized sects under the Jade Emperor Pavilion arrived outside the Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto, preparing to enter the Jade Emperor Pavilion's mountain gate.
No matter how these small and medium-sized sects under the Jade Emperor Pavilion tried to contact the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto Heaven never opened.
In the following days, many sects and forces that had come to the Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto sent invitations to Jade Emperor Mountain, including some forces with Golden Immortal experts in charge.
Even so, there was still no response from within the Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto.
If it weren't for the fact that the Jade Emperor Pavilion's protective formation, the Heavenly Empress Earth Formation, was still in operation, some people might have thought that something unexpected had happened inside the Jade Emperor Pavilion.
If the Jade Emperor Pavilion truly intends to invite all the immortals to witness the ceremony, then regardless of the other immortals, those high-ranking Golden Immortals should be given special hospitality.
But the Jade Emperor Pavilion didn't react at all, which made people resentful.
Especially in the sky above, many Golden Immortals had mixed feelings.
In fact, long before the news of Yin Changsheng undergoing his tenth tribulation spread, another piece of news had already spread throughout the Golden Immortal community of the Xuanhuang Great World.
That was Yin Changsheng, the first Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal in history, the anomaly mentioned in that news.
Many people remain skeptical of this news.
After all, the Jade Emperor Pavilion is one of the three hegemonic forces in the Xuanhuang Great World, with considerable resources.
It's not worthwhile to rashly test the waters based on a piece of news whose veracity is unknown.
However, among the many Golden Immortals, there were some who were not afraid of the Jade Emperor Pavilion's power.
The two supreme Eight Tribulation Golden Immortals, Ancestor Xiao Zhan of Suspended Mountain and Daoist Xu Kun of Bright Moon Sea, traveled together to personally inquire about Yin Changsheng.
Everyone originally thought that with the two Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortals taking action, they would surely be able to verify the matter. Who would have thought that in just half a day, the news of the two Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortals fleeing in panic would spread throughout the entire Xuanhuang Great World.
