Chapter 724: Arrival of the Calamity
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were too many rumors targeting the Jiang Clan in the Immortal Dao. After listening to them for a long time, the Jiang Clan gradually began to feel resentment.
Hundreds of figures gathered in the main hall of the Jiang Clan’s imperial branch. As for Heaven Emperor Xuandao, he sat at the head of the table with an expressionless face.
“They talk about those old debts all day long. F*ck, don’t tell me that no one from the other sects, races, or clans has also made such a mistake?”
“Aren’t all the heinous crimes that my Jiang Clan has committed personal grudges? Besides, how can no one remember our contributions? The Dark Emperor ended the calamity and shouldered the hatred of all beings alone. But think about it carefully, how many people had died because of him?”
“It’s all because we are the descendants of the Dao Ancestor. Even though we were born with everything, we are looked upon with the greatest expectations. When we cultivated, other than in the clan, we did not dare to compete with others outside for fear of ruining our ancestor’s reputation.”
“This matter has lasted for too long. There must be some forces pushing it in secret. However, there are too many sects and aristocratic races. It’s hard to say who it is.”
The hall was noisy, and all the disciples of the imperial branch were venting their anger.
Even though Heaven Emperor Xuandao knew that the Jiang Clan was about to enter the calamity, he did not expect it to be in this way. He also felt aggrieved.
The rules of the Jiang Clan were strict enough, but how could they completely prevent the birth of parasites? As long as there were many people, there would always be evil people. Once they were discovered, the Jiang Clan did not cover up for them. He had a clear conscience about that.
In order to supervise the Jiang Clan, he had never given up the position of clan leader. For any major crime his descendants did, he was willing to punish them.
But now, those voices in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm made his heart turn cold. Even some close friends in the Mental Wander Realm were questioning this matter.
Even though he was aggrieved and furious, Heaven Emperor Xuandao was more worried.
This calamity must be more terrifying than the previous one!
Under the peace, undercurrents were already surging!
Heaven Emperor Xuandao took a deep breath and said, “Silence!”
The hall instantly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Heaven Emperor Xuandao, hoping that he would uphold justice for the Jiang Clan. They did not want to endure any longer.
Heaven Emperor Xuandao asked in a deep voice, “From your expressions, you seem to be furious. But have you ever thought about what you want to do even if we can find the forces behind the scenes? Destroy them? Let the public question the Jiang Clan even more?”
His words made everyone feel even more aggrieved.
“Then let the Heavenly Court make the decision for us!” One of the prodigies could not help but say.
However, as soon as he said that, he regretted it, and no one responded to him.
The Lord of the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Emperor, was also a member of the Jiang Clan. If the Heavenly Court were to make the decision, how could the public be convinced?
Heaven Emperor Xuandao propped his hands on his knees and swept his gaze across everyone present. He coldly said, “Everything is fated to face calamities. Ever since the Jiang Clan was created, our first real calamity is about to arrive. Prepare yourself!”
His words were somewhat tragic and ambiguous, but the furious Jiang clansmen did not think too much about it.
After an intense discussion, Heaven Emperor Xuandao sent a group of people to investigate this matter. As for the outside world, the Jiang Clan chose to endure it. This also caused dissatisfaction within the Jiang Clan.
From the decision, some people felt that Heaven Emperor Xuandao cared too much about his reputation. His reputation was even more important than the Jiang Clan!
The Mahayana Cloud Sect was a merit sect founded by Immortal Mahayana.
Immortal Mahayana was one of the many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. He was once a disciple of the Dao Sect He later left the sect after reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm. Later on, he founded the Mahayana Cloud Sect. After he reached the Zenith Heaven Realm, the status of the Mahayana Cloud Sect rose. Right now, it was one of the top ten sects in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm.
This sect was located above the clouds and mortals could not touch it.
In a hall, Immortal Mahayana sat on a futon. He had a handsome face and wore a purple robe. His white hair was as white as snow, and he had a refined temperament.
He looked at the 36 disciples in the hall and slowly asked, “Are the comments about the Jiang Clan related to you?”
As soon as he said that, the disciples in the hall were shocked.
A middle-aged Daoist said in grief and indignation, “Master, my beloved disciple was killed by the Jiang Clan. However, thousands of years have passed and that person’s head has been cut off. What else can I do?”
The others spoke one after another with the intention to protect him. Some even mocked the Jiang Clan for being too domineering and making countless enemies for themselves.
Immortal Mahayana had an indifferent expression as he said, “I know what you are thinking. You feel that I have wronged you by not standing up for you. However, your disciple has too little merit and good karma. Evidently, he also has committed many sins. His merit has been offset by his sins. In addition, the Jiang Clan has their own reasons, so I will not stand up for him.”
The middle-aged Daoist turned pale when he heard that.
“I asked you about this today to tell you that the second calamity of the Heavenly Dao is about to arrive. I don’t want the Mahayana Cloud Sect to be a factor in starting the calamity. This will put the sect in danger of extermination, and I might not be able to save you.”
The words of Immortal Mahayana shocked the thirty-six disciples. After hearing that, they had different expressions and different thoughts.
“I don’t know who is plotting against the Jiang Clan, but it’s obvious that since such a thing happened before the calamity, the Jiang Clan has already stepped into the calamity. Now, whoever dares to oppose the Jiang Clan will be dragged into the calamity, which will become the first battle of the calamity.”
Immortal Mahayana said with sincerity. Looking at his 36 disciples, he was filled with worry.
Tens of millions of years of nurturing had resulted in these 36 disciples. The strongest had already reached the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm. He did not want these disciples to die in the calamity.
He sighed internally.
How did this happen?
He had only gone into seclusion for some time. As a result, when he woke up, he heard that there was a conflict between his sect and the Jiang Clan. When he first heard about this, he was also furious. However, as things got out of control, he realized that this matter was not simple. There was an unknown force behind it.
As he looked at the changes in his disciples’ expressions, the worries in his heart intensified. However, he could not do anything about it. He could not possibly close the sect, right? If that were to happen, it would seem like he was afraid of the Jiang Clan.
While the Mahayana Cloud Sect was discussing this matter, other sects in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm were also discussing it. More and more Zenith Heaven cultivators sensed the aura of the calamity.
Five thousand years later.
The news that the Jiang Clan was about to enter a calamity had spread and the common people were terrified.
For common mortals, the calamity was a disaster.
Until one day, a piece of news spread from the sky to the earth and even to the netherworld.
The Dark Emperor, Jiang Yi, had returned and even went to the Jiang Clan’s imperial branch!
With that, the criticisms about the Jiang Clan in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm were reduced by half. As for the people who were still discussing it, they did not know the magnitude of this news.
As the calamity of the Immortal Dao approached, more and more other orthodoxies entered the Immortal Dao. They were like sharks that had smelled blood and all of them wanted a share of the pie.
When the calamity arrived, there would always be inheritances and treasures lying around. This was a rare opportunity for cultivators of other orthodoxies.
Of course, all of this was based on the open attitude of the Immortal Dao. If it were any other orthodoxy, they would not have the chance to enter.
The Celestial Emperor did not seal the Immortal Dao because there was still a deeper meaning to facing the Great Dao in this calamity. In any case, he had chatted with his father. With his father backing him up, his heart was at ease. However, he felt apologetic when he thought of his descendants.
However, even without that, the Jiang Clan would not be able to escape the calamity. Right now, they were just shouldering more responsibilities.
Another thousands of years passed. In this year, Jiang Hongchen gave up his position of the Human Sovereign to his son. His son had been in charge of the Human Race for tens of millions of years and had already obtained the power of the Human Sovereign.
However, the new Human Sovereign had just ascended the throne for a thousand years when his Eye of the Great Dao was suddenly dug out by a mysterious person. This matter shocked the entire Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm and caused an uproar!
The Eye of the Great Dao was the pride of the Jiang Clan!
Dao Sect, second branch, inside a Daoist temple.
“What! Are you crazy?”
The second branch master stood up and was furious. He pointed at a young Daoist in front of him and shouted in a trembling voice.
The young Daoist was dressed in black and had an ordinary appearance. However, he had a complacent smile on his face. An eye floated above his right palm, and the eyeball was surrounded by traces of black qi.
The Eye of the Great Dao!
“Master, don’t panic. I have used a divine technique to erase the karma. Even the Dao… no one can predict it. As long as you don’t leak the news out, there won’t be any problem!” The black-robed Daoist smiled proudly.
The second branch master suppressed his anger and scolded, “Nonsense. You’re only a Zenith Heaven Immortal. How can you hide from the abilities of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?”
The disciple in front of him was his proudest disciple. He did not expect this disciple to be so bold, especially at this juncture.
Looking at the Human Sovereign’s Eye of the Great Dao, the second branch master felt dizzy.
The calamity was about to arrive. Would the Dao Sect be dragged into the calamity because of him?
If that was the case…
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. This Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortal could no longer control his body and trembled slightly.
“Master, don’t panic. I cultivated this technique in the boundless world. The other party is an existence that surpasses the Eternal God Realm…”
The black-robed Daoist said excitedly. As soon as he said that, the second branch master flew into a rage and teleported in front of him before slapping him.
The black-robed Daoist did not dodge and took the blow.
The second branch master did not dare to use his full strength, fearing that he would alarm the entire Dao Sect.
He immediately increased the restriction on his Daoist temple and then looked at the black-robed Daoist. “You betrayed the Immortal Dao?”
“How is that possible! Master, that person did not know that I came from the Immortal Dao. He was crazy. After he taught me this technique, he did not make any requests. Don’t worry, I don’t have a deep relationship with him. Master, the reason why I told you is not to harm you. I just want the Great Dao Record. The Dao Sect must have the inheritance of the Dao Ancestor. Give me a copy and I will immediately leave the Immortal Dao. When I succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely return to repay you!”
The black-robed Daoist spoke very fast and obviously in a hurry.
After he said that, a ruthless expression appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, “Master, the Jiang Clan’s anger can’t be held back any longer. Even if you hand me over, the Dao Sect will definitely suffer a calamity. Pretend that this did not happen and that the Dao Sect can still avoid a calamity!”
He only dared to take action when he heard that the calamity was about to begin. Only by using this threat could he obtain the Great Dao Record.
The Great Dao Record was the number one cultivation method of the Immortal Dao. Moreover, it was created by the Dao Ancestor!
The second branch master’s expression changed.
At that moment, the Eye of the Great Dao in the black-robed Daoist’s hand emitted a strong light and the black qi around the eyeball dissipated.
“Well…”
The black-robed Daoist’s expression changed drastically and he immediately cast a spell on the Eye of the Great Dao.
However, the moment the black qi dissipated, a terrifying killing intent pierced through the spatial restriction and locked onto him.
