Chapter 876: The Beginning of the Five Decrepit Phenomena and the Omen of the Dharma Ending

A new Earthly Immortal would never have a lower status in small sects of the Eye of the Storm and often became the backbone of the sect; some even became the successors of the sect’s power. After all, Earthly Immortals could no longer be measured by their Dharma powers. Besides, Red Tiger was obviously a practitioner with great potential. Even if he could not break through to the Celestial Immortal’s Way and become a Sage in the future, he would at least become an outstanding Earthly Immortal like Emperor An, the Emperor of Moon Temple and the Tai Sui.
This was what his sect expected of him and he had full confidence in himself.
All this, however, seemed to be turning into a dream only, for the new Red Tiger Emperor had recently felt that his Dharma power seemed to have undergone a strange, indescribable change. Though he did not become weak, he discovered some portions of his power withering away. He did not like it as it felt a bit devastating.
Initially he took for granted that it was a natural response to his Dharma power ascent after he became an Earthly Immortal, so instead of caring about the change, he even felt a bit smug about it.
But when he finished the closed-door training, he suddenly felt a strong sense of weakness that caught him off guard. At first, he thought that it was someone plotting against him, but he soon dismissed the speculation, because he found that the sense of weakness was not caused by external forces, but came from the depths of his body. He turned pale with fear. After careful examination of his body, he still could not find the cause. This sense of weakness was similar to the exhaustion he felt after a fight. But before long, the sensation faded and he regained his strength as if nothing had happened.
It would be great if nothing had happened. But as a formidable Earthly Immortal with a keen spiritual mind, he knew that the sense of weakness was not just an illusion, but something that had really happened.
“Why did that happen? Am I under a curse?” He thought seriously about it. Only curses could explain the strange things that had been happening and the weird magic that could have caused it. “The man who put the curse on me without my noticing it must be very insidious, thus I am unable to remove the curse. I have to go back to the sect and ask the First Elder to help me!”
“Has the Deva’s Five Decrepit Phenomena already begun?” a man in the Eye of the Storm of the Immortal Realm asked.
That was the Taoist rite of the Gale Sage, one of the three Celestial Immortals. Like the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage, the Gale Sage was not a man willing to take charge of affairs either. As he drew boundaries with other forces, he was completely indifferent to what was happening in his territory, unless he was treated with disrespect. However, no one in the universe dared to be disrespectful to a Celestial Immortal.
Although the Gale Sage had no interest in managing affairs, he was a man who followed the rules perfectly. Any practitioner could live in the Eye of the Storm so long as he did not violate the rules made millions of years ago.
Therefore, there were plenty of practitioners in this territory, and some of them were mighty Earthly Immortals with unfathomable cultivation. These Earthly Immortals, like the Earthly Immortals in other parts of the Immortal Realm, usually practiced in their own Immortal’s Caves. Their closed-door training could last for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years in order to understand the Celestial Immortal’s Way.
Of course, there were some new Earthly Immortals. They, compared to other Earthly Immortals, were somewhat ostentatious. After years of hard work, they finally became Earthly Immortals, who were able to create their own macro worlds. Besides, they even could live as long as heaven and earth and thus they wanted to celebrate. As a result, some new practitioners enjoyed a period of great elation.
Red Tiger was one these new practitioners. He came from a small sect in the Eye of the Storm. It only took him about a hundred years to break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm because of his great talent and the advantage of the Immortal Realm environment.
Even if practitioners in the Immortal Realm abided by the rules daily and use a huge amount of essence, to become an Earthly Immortal within a hundred years was still an extremely amazing feat and many ordinary people could not achieve this.
