Chapter 524: Chapter 195: A Sign of Great Fortune, Is There a Blessed Fate That Resembles a Flower? (End of the month, asking for monthly votes!!)
Longevity Immortal City.
During this time, the Longevity Immortal City was bustling, because the celestial phenomena were too peculiar, such as falling fire from the sky, stars hanging upside down, bulls rushing up to the heavens…
Various strange celestial phenomena appeared one after another. Some elderly people in the city, although considered part of the newer generation, still had memories of the legends of the spiritual energy annihilation brought about by the Church of All Beings many years ago.
So under these sudden abnormal circumstances, the whole Immortal City couldn’t help but feel some panic. However, soon news came out that Su Wu had entered closed-door cultivation.
Meanwhile, the City Lord Mansion operated as usual, collecting taxes as usual this year, even collecting slightly more taxes than before. This immediately made the cultivators in the city rush to deal with their own family affairs, not bothering to discuss the strange celestial phenomena.
After all, most of the people in the Immortal City were ordinary cultivators, only a few wealthy cultivation families, or the nobles of the city, had the mind to observe whether these celestial phenomena would lead to a calamity.
But even if they were deeply worried and troubled in their hearts, as time passed, they prepared themselves for the calamity and gradually settled down.
Seeing this development, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that regardless of whether they were cultivators or not, the essence of every world was the same.
If people were still struggling for their lives, would they have the leisure to discuss current affairs? These things were not their concerns.
Only those who had a carefree life and nothing to do could be provoked by words and discuss these big issues. There was no other reason; their lives were simply free of worries.
However, as time went on, Longevity Immortal City began to slowly settle down, and even the cultivators in the city became somewhat excited.
That was because the Immortal Dynasty’s order had been issued to every Immortal City, and the City Lord Mansion did not delay in releasing the Immortal Dynasty’s order.
The Immortal Dynasty Competition!
The Golden Era!
If you were one of the proud sons of the heavens, if you were blessed with luck, or if you had the ambition to tread above the heavens and refuse to settle for mediocrity, then this was your stage now.
The competition had nothing to do with the cultivation level; any cultivator could soar to the sky during the Golden Era.
After all, opportunities in the world were all about fortune. Now that the Golden Era was here, how could one not possibly qualify as one of the proud sons of the heavens?
At a time when everyone in Longevity Immortal City was sharpening their knives, Liang Sheng, on the surface, still appeared carefree and unaffected.
He didn’t want to get involved in the Era of Great Contention at all. He was completely different from the other cultivators in the Immortal City.
After all, he had the Talent of Innocent Foolishness. As long as he honestly cultivated, even heaven and earth wouldn’t be able to withstand his breakthroughs, so why should he take a risk?
However, Liang Sheng knew in his heart that everyone was liable to be entangled in cause and effect during the Immortal Dynasty Competition. Maybe even if lying at home, one could still be killed by a sudden meteorite from outer space.
So all Liang Sheng could do was try to use the Law of Cause and Effect to investigate and delay any unintended consequences or accidents as much as possible.
Unfortunately, since Feng Yuan came to Longevity Immortal City with Chunyangzi, there was no way for Liang Sheng to sneak into the Immortal Dynasty’s nearly restored spiritual vein and absorb the essence of heaven and earth.
When the turmoil in the Immortal City happened, he had already tampered with Su Wu and Mountain Stone, so naturally, Chunyangzi’s whereabouts couldn’t be concealed from him.
However, fortunately, Chunyangzi was currently guarding Feng Yuan and didn’t have time to pay attention to the movements in the Immortal City.
At this moment, Feng Yuan’s situation was similar to when City Master Zhen Yuan was sealed. Yet, compared to Zhen Yuan, Feng Yuan had more initiative.
As long as he wanted to break through the seal, he would naturally awaken, and the arrival of Chunyangzi also gave more confidence to Su Wu.
Although the Immortal Dynasty Competition had arrived, fortunes were not yet determined, and the killing intent was still brewing. Most cultivators were still improving their own state, so they didn’t immediately enter a tense state. That meant that everyone still had time to prepare.
After the initial excitement in the Immortal City, most of the cultivators gradually calmed down, regardless of their excitement in their hearts. Before the Great Contention, they had to be in their best condition as well.
Perhaps every bit of preparation would become the last straw to overwhelm others. Besides, sharpening the knife didn’t delay cutting wood, so after Su Wu entered closed-door cultivation, many others in the Immortal City followed suit, which also led to an improvement in the city’s public order situation.
This was an unexpected joy for Liang Sheng, who did not want his peaceful life disrupted. The more peaceful the situation, the more advantageous for him.
However, he could only go with the flow at this time.
Longevity Immortal City.
Within the prison of the City Lord Mansion.
At this moment, Zhou Shen was cracking sunflower seeds. When he finished with the last seed, the bell for the end of the shift rang just in time, and he leisurely clocked out.
The prison was not as tightly guarded as before. Following the issuance of the Immortal Dynasty’s order to the city, many people’s hearts had gone wild.
Zhou Shen couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart. Why bother with such things? There couldn’t be so many protagonists in this world. Most people were just ordinary people.
Furthermore, the Zhou Family’s ancestral teachings urged future generations to live a stable life and act modestly, with self-awareness. These teachings were almost engraved into the Zhou Family Bloodline.
Therefore, Zhou Shen’s heart was different from others’; he just wanted to grow safely and not to think about the pies that fell from the sky.
Upon leaving the main gate of the prison, Zhou Shen bid farewell to his friends among the prison guards, then headed straight back to the Zhou Family Mansion and directly went to the backyard.
That was the residence of the family’s Guest Elder, the Ancestral Elder Jin Quanxiu.
He was the living fossil of the family, even the Clan Leader had been born during his time. The legend of Elder Qinqing Jin Quanxiu was still widely spread in the Zhou Family.
