"Reporting to the Great Emperor Ziwei, all the gods and immortals have entered the hall and are listed in their respective ranks, without a single one missing."

After one stick of incense, all the gods finished their roll call and Taibai Jinxing reported to Ziwei Emperor.

The Great Emperor Ziwei nodded slightly, then Taibai Jinxing turned to the gods and immortals and announced, "The court meeting begins."

As the court meeting officially began, all the gods who were discussing in low voices immediately became quiet and solemn.

The Emperor Ziwei swept his gaze over the gods and immortals, and immediately spoke, "I'm sure all the immortals have already known that the true demons of the outer sects have entered the world, and the great calamity of the absolute heaven has already come to an end in this world. The connection between the Heavenly Court and the worlds has been severed by the great calamity, and the immortal officials and divine palaces in the worlds are now in danger."

Hearing the words of Emperor Ziwei, the gods in the Heavenly Court were immediately alarmed. Although the Heavenly Court had not established a system of immortal officials and divine palaces in all the lower realms of the world, wouldn't the immortal officials in those realms that had already been established be in danger?

At this time, the Purple Star Emperor said, "This catastrophe is extraordinary. It is the most powerful of all catastrophes. Whether it is the Heavenly Court, the Taoist sect, or the Buddhist sect, we must all be on high alert."

Upon hearing this, all the gods and immortals bowed in unison and said, "We will obey your command."

The Purple Star Emperor then turned to the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara who was standing beside him and said, "Daoyou, please tell me about the demonic calamity."

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva bowed to Ziwei Emperor and said, "Yes."

Then the gods and immortals listened to Guanyin Bodhisattva say: "This time, the external demons entered the world to stir up a great catastrophe and establish a foothold in the manifest world. The Chaos Primordial Demon ordered the six external demons to make a great vow to the Heavenly Dao, willing to create a demonic catastrophe in the present world and open up the demonic path. Do you know the six external demons?"

Upon hearing this, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, "Are you referring to the six demons: the Buddha Demon, the Heart Demon, the Blood Demon, the Six Desire Demon, the Seven Emotion Demon, and the Formless Demon?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and said, "Tota is right. It is these six demons. These six demons have made a great vow. From now on, they will transform into six great demonic calamities and appear in the world, opening a path for all living beings to become immortals through the path of demons."

"Becoming an immortal through the magic path?" The expressions of the gods and immortals changed, and they all turned their eyes to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "To become an immortal in this world, one must obtain the approval of the Heavenly Court and receive a thunder tribulation. This is known as a 'celestial immortal'. However, to become an immortal in the demonic realm, one does not need to endure the thunder tribulation. One only needs to endure the demonic tribulation to become a demonic immortal. The true demons of the outer realms call this a 'tribulation immortal'."

"Jiexian is a fake immortal." Just as Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, another divine voice came down to the sky. Everyone looked and saw that it was Dou Mu Yuanjun, the leader of the Taoist Daluo who came to attend the court meeting for the first time, and the Taoist Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian.

Dou Mu Yuanjun said: "Jiexian said that it can make a cultivator become an immortal, but in fact it makes the cultivator become possessed by demons. After being possessed by demons, the cultivator has no realm divisions and has the power to compete with immortals. As long as they are not killed, they can be immortal. However, they are just like immortals, and have not achieved the path of true immortality. Therefore, they are 'pseudo-immortals'."

"But the way of pseudo-immortality is extremely attractive to those cultivators who cannot become immortals." said Guanyin Bodhisattva.

After hearing what Dou Mu Yuanjun and Guanyin Bodhisattva said, all the gods and immortals in the hall had a bad premonition. They heard Nanhua Emperor, one of the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao, say, "Then, if that's the case, wouldn't all the cultivators in the separated worlds have the potential to become 'Tribulation Immortals'?"

"That's right." Dou Mu Yuanjun said.

At this moment, even Fang Jian realized the seriousness of the problem. The reason was very simple. It was too difficult to pass the test of the Heavenly Court and become a "celestial being".

Because the examination in Heaven is extremely strict, especially the requirements for the personal morality, realm, and merits of the cultivators are extremely high.

However, the "Jiexian" of the demonic path is different. As long as one survives the demonic calamity, one can become a "Jiexian". To put it nicely, it means surviving the demonic calamity. To put it bluntly, it means being possessed by the devil and falling into the demonic path.

Then it's simple. Do you want to go through countless hardships to strive for that one in ten thousand chance of becoming a 'celestial immortal'? Or do you want to close your eyes and become a demon, and directly become a robbery immortal?

Especially the demonic 'Jiexian', not only is it easy to become an immortal, but as long as you are not killed you can remain immortal, and you can also have the power to compete with immortals. It is not difficult to imagine which one most people will choose.

"In this case, we must open up the worlds as soon as possible." Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng said.

However, Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. The six demons I mentioned earlier not only transformed into six great demonic calamities and opened up the 'Path to the Immortal', but also settled in the present world, becoming the 'demonic calamity' for all living beings in this world."

"Do you know the 'demon seed' that fell into the world last time?" Guanyin Bodhisattva asked again.

The gods nodded one after another, indicating that they understood.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "The demon seeds from before were merely 'blank demon seeds,' but the demon seeds now include the demon seeds of the six great demonic calamities: the Buddha demon seeds, the heart demon seeds, the blood demon seeds, the six desire demon seeds, the seven emotions demon seeds, and the formless demon seeds."

"But this isn't even the most difficult thing." Guanyin Bodhisattva said this with a serious face. "What's even more difficult is that even after the Absolute Heavenly Tribulation ends, the 'Path of Tribulation Immortality' and the 'Six Great Demonic Species' will not disappear. Instead, they will settle into the present world and become a fixed destiny in this world."

Upon hearing this, the gods and immortals all showed worried expressions. The Divine Martial Emperor Di Jun even said to Fang Jian, "True Lord Hongqing, in order to deal with this 'Robbery of Immortals', should the system for assessing cultivators' immortality in Taishi Immortal City also be changed?"

After hearing what Di Jun said, Emperor Zhenwu also said, "The assessment should be relaxed."

Fang Jian had also been thinking about this matter. Hearing this, he bowed and said, "You two emperors are right. I am considering it."

At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Ziwei Emperor: "Your Majesty, I have finished explaining the matter of the demonic calamity."
