"Yes, yes, yes! This time, I must get my boy into the Sacred Spirit Cult! I heard that hundreds of years ago, one of the town chief Zhu family's ancestors joined an immortal sect and became an Immortal with boundless powers. Maybe my son will be the next Immortal too!"
"Tch, that foolish, dull-witted son of yours wants to join an immortal sect? He even dreams of being mentioned in the same breath as the Zhu family's ancestor. What a joke!"
"Y-You... what do you know? My son is only a little slow to react. Immortals... Immortals possess vast divine powers. As long as he can join an immortal sect, he will definitely get better. Besides, the Immortal from the Sacred Spirit Cult said last time that heaven and earth would soon face a tremendous calamity, and countless people were bound to die. I do not expect my son to become as formidable as the Zhu family's ancestor. As long as he can receive an immortal sect's protection and keep his life, I will be satisfied!"
Su Shi'er had not gone far before the sorrow and gloom in everyone's hearts were quickly swept away, and Huilong Town once more returned to its bustling appearance.
A clamor of voices drifted into Su Shi'er's ears on the wind.
Sacred Spirit Cult?
Heaven and earth would face a tremendous calamity?
Another force swindling people under false pretenses?
Listening to the voices most often discussed among the crowd, Su Shi'er shook his head and paid it no further attention.
When one whale fell, all things came to life.
In this world, it was not only dynasties that rose and fell. Sects where cultivators gathered likewise faced waxing and waning fortunes.
In the Cangshan region of Muyun Prefecture, upheavals had occurred one after another.
