Just as Ye Tianfan and Tian Chu Zhenren were discussing these matters, Master Zhichu suddenly rushed in from outside and said, "Quick, both of you, co with to the eting room. They've sent a ssage."
"Those people? Who, are you saying..." Tian Chu Zhenren didn't initially react, but quickly understood who Master Zhichu was referring to.
Soon after, Ye Tianfan also realized who it was about and hurriedly followed Master Zhichu outside.
When Ye Tianfan arrived at the eting room, which was the central tent, he found that almost everyone was there, specifically referring to the elders from each sect.
"What happened? What is going on?" Tian Chu Zhenren asked as soon as he reached the tent.
A nearby elder, seeing Tian Chu Zhenren enter, recognized him as Tian Chu Zhenren from the Taichu Sect, greeted him, and explained, "The organization you investigated earlier has released a notice through the Cultivation Relay Station, announcing to the world that a YongZhen Immortality Conference is being held at Heaven-Reaching Town under Heaven-Reaching Peak, one of the Ten Forbidden Grounds. Anyone attending it can beco immortal."
"What? Immortal?" Tian Chu Zhenren was montarily stunned upon hearing this and then exclaid incredulously.
"That's right, immortal!" The elder also replied with a worried expression.
Ye Tianfan felt equally astonished upon hearing this; after all, immortality was sothing everyone dread of.
Why cultivate? Isn't it ultimately to ascend to the celestial realm, join the ranks of immortals, and gain immortality?
Now, rely visiting Heaven-Reaching Town promises immortality, an irresistible allure, especially for those stuck at the peak of a certain realm for ages, facing their final days. To survive, they might even sell their souls, although this refers only to a few people. Generally, those who reach such a realm have stable ntal states and aren't easily tempted by external matters, but those with broken mindsets will be seduced.
"Wait, you said the ssage was announced to the world, does that an even ordinary people were inford?" Tian Chu Zhenren, despite his surprise, caught onto this key point.
The elder nodded with great difficulty and said, "Yes, although we don't know what they are up to, they've involved ordinary people."
Now, even Ye Tianfan felt the issue was tricky, as ordinary people were fervent about immortality. They envied cultivators, believing they could live longer, possess great power, and do as they please. Now with an opportunity for immortality, they won't let it slip, even without a Cultivation Technique. Just achieving immortality allows them ample ti to cultivate, creating a rudintary technique to forcibly absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would suffice. Once they improve their cultivation slightly, obtaining a better Cultivation Technique would be easy, albeit only basic ones.
"What's happening across the world now?" This question wasn't posed by Tian Chu Zhenren but by Master Zhichu, as upon hearing the news, he imdiately notified Tian Chu Zhenren and Ye Tianfan, while other elders alerted their counterparts, so deliberations hadn't started yet.
However, Yuan Chu Zhenren and Zhen Chu Zhenren didn't notify anyone as they were still busy purifying the Evil Qi in Copper Gong Town, hence were not disturbed.
At this mont, the elder who spoke earlier didn't respond as he didn't know either, only aware of a bit of the news. He then looked towards the most worn-out person among them.
The news was relayed from that person.
Everyone believed it as the person was the Leader of the Cultivation Relay Station. Only after the news spread did he find out, otherwise, he wouldn't have disseminated it.
Upon learning of the news, he imdiately conducted an internal investigation, discovering several relay stations were unreachable, coupled with recent occurrences in Copper Gong Town, he realized a storm was about to engulf the martial arts world.
Thus, the Relay Station Leader hurriedly flew towards the Taichu Sect, thinking it was better to discuss this matter with the leading righteous sect, then issue a proclamation under Taichu Sect's na, convening a sect gathering to determine the course of action.
Eventually, the Relay Station Leader was directed here by Tian Chu Zhenren, but promised to contact each sect's Sect Leader to elaborate with Master Zhichu and others.
When the Relay Station Leader heard Master Zhichu's words, he didn't hesitate but spoke directly, "By the ti I arrived, the world had already descended into chaos. Every ordinary person who received the ssage has nearly deserted their hos, stopped farming, ceased tending their livestock, and packed their entire possessions to head to Heaven-Reaching Town. Even so Loose Cultivators are heading there. In short, almost eighty percent of people are rushing to Heaven-Reaching Town."
"Is it so tumultuous? Why did they involve ordinary people?" An elder seated asked.
"I suppose it's to restrain us." Master Zhichu replied.
"Restrain us?" The elder asked in puzzlent.
"Yes, once ordinary people are involved, we'll have to consider them in any battle. They may even use these ordinary people as human shields, pushing the problem onto us. We, concerned about the ordinary people, would be unable to act." Master Zhichu explained.
"Damn scoundrels, using such a vile trick." The elder cursed angrily.
If ordinary people truly prevent action, those scoundrels can act unbridled, leading to heavy casualties among ordinary people.
At this point, everyone realized this tactic was extrely troubleso, yet couldn't devise a plan to counter their open sche.
Similarly, they couldn't stop or prevent ordinary people from heading to Heaven-Reaching Town as the news was too enticing to stop.
"Actually, I don't think we necessarily have to worry about this!"
The silence in the eting was suddenly broken by Ye Tianfan's voice.
Upon hearing Ye Tianfan speak, Tian Chu Zhenren looked at him with so concern because if Ye Tianfan's words were ineffective in resolving this issue, he might be ridiculed.
