Chapter 496 - Heavenly Dao Calculations (2/2)
Lonemoon frowned. That indeed was a problem. They had to deal with that beast.
“I think we can leave it alone,” Chef suddenly said. “The Weeping Beast loves flesh and blood, but it has yin Qi as its soul, baleful Qi as its spirit, and grievous energy as its bones. Now that Hao Ran Court is gone, the corpses in the lotus river are gone as well. Before long, the yin winds above the Uncrooked Sea will dissipate as well. The Weeping Beast will naturally disappear.”
Lonemoon hesitated. “You mean to say… the yin Qi above the sea was coming from the lotus river?”
Yi Qing nodded.
“Shit!” Lonemoon could not help but curse at the bunch of bastards from Hao Ran Court. They had indeed swallowed so many people whole, and thrown their remains at the bottom of their lotus river. It was no wonder that there was so much grievous energy all around. What’s more, the bones had not been buried. As time went by, they would emanate more and more yin Qi. That was why the entire Uncrooked Sea was the way it was. The Weeping Beast did not appear out of nowhere – it was born out of this atmosphere.
The nomological force in this realm was in such a mess because of this reason. Yu Cang and the others used all of the flesh and blood from Fatty’s previous lives, so that the Heavenly Dao mistook them for Fatty, and allowed them to ascend to immortality. By the time the Heavenly Dao realized this, it was too late.
What’s more, the Heavenly Dao had no sentience. It ran on a system of professional records of rewards and punishments. This repeated practice of Hao Ran Court’s caused the calculation system to malfunction. Without any other method to settle this mess, it had no choice but to lock the realm gates so as to minimize such occurrences.
It was only when Lonemoon and the others got to the lower realm to remove the merits that did not belong to these people and resolve half of the mess did the Heavenly Dao slowly return to normal. Perhaps after dealing with the people of the Divine Imperial Sect, this little realm’s nomological force would be fully restored.
At that thought, Lonemoon could no longer wait to head to Divine Imperial Sect to watch how they would be made to suffer.
It was a pity that they did not manage to witness how they were dealt with in the end because Fatty was ascending to immortality. The moment the nomological force was restored, Fatty’s spirit Qi exploded and gray clouds began to gather in the sky once again. This time, it was a normal lightning tribulation.
Lonemoon glanced at the tribulation’s intensity. He was not in the least bit worried for Fatty this time. This lightning tribulation was incomparable to the kind of training Lonemoon put Fatty through.
“We’ll head back to the upper realm first,” he told Fatty, before pulling Shen Ying and Yi Qing through the realm gate, back to the upper realm.
Lonemoon had no issue with Fatty going through the lightning tribulation. HIs only worry was that there would be someone above who would mess with his lightning tribulation. More than half of the people in Yu Cang’s East Tsui used such strange methods to lure people who ascended to immortality. Although Yu Cang was dead now, Lonemoon could not be sure that nobody else in the upper realm had used similar techniques.
That was why they decided to head back first, to find where exactly Fatty would ascend to, so that they could protect his ascension.
When they got to the upper realm, however, they discovered that they had been overthinking. The moment they stepped through the realm gates, they heard familiar thunderous sounds. The immortal realm became pitch black, and the gray clouds covered East Tsui completely, causing the entire immortal city to fall into darkness. As the thunder roared, the bolts of lightning struck.
The three people who just made it to the immortal realm almost got dragged into the mess. Lonemoon pursed his lips. This time, the Heavenly Dao was obviously having fun dishing out punishments. It was present even in the immortal realm. It looked like it had no intention at all to let off the people who had cheated their way to immortality.
Lonemoon sighed. He was not too bothered by the fact that the Heavenly Dao was dishing out such harsh punishments. Lonemoon guessed where Fatty was going to ascend to and brought Shen Ying and Yi Qing to fly toward that direction. Indeed, they felt Fatty’s aura in a random plain along the way. All around, immortal Qi began to surge and gather to form the Immortal Ascension Stage. Before long, a white beam of welcoming light shone onto the stage.
