Chapter 403 False Hope (extra update for book friend Shenying Leiming)
"Can Immortal Master talk about the extraterritorial demons? Everyone is somewhat interested in this." Taoist Jin asked. In fact, he still didn't quite believe what Immortal Master Changcun said.
Immortal Changcun didn't care and said, "After the Immortal Realm took control of all the heavens and worlds, a celestial being traveled in the void and encountered an unknown creature in the void. It was extremely aggressive. The unknown creature was only at the Earth Immortal level and was taken back to the Immortal Realm by this celestial being."
"After thoroughly studying the unknown creatures, the immortals discovered that the cultivation system of the unknown creatures is different from ours. They do not use spiritual energy as energy, but rely on negative emotions such as anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety. Death is the biggest source of negative emotions, and they kill people because of this."
"The immortals also wanted to find the world where the unknown creatures lived, but they didn't find the immortal world. Some people speculated that the demons were born from the negative emotions of living beings, but it's just speculation."
"At first, everyone in the fairy world was somewhat interested in the unknown creatures, but later they found that these creatures had no reason and could not communicate, so they gradually lost interest."
"Because the origins of these unidentified creatures are unknown, the immortals believe that there are places that the immortal world has not explored yet, and they call those places the Outer Realm."
"Unknown creatures are born from negative emotions and have no reason, so we say they are born demons."
“The unidentified creature was therefore named the Extraterritorial Demon.”
"After that, hundreds of thousands of years passed. Perhaps because more sentient beings multiplied in the heavens and myriad worlds, negative emotions increased, and the number of extraterritorial demons also increased. They wanted to capture a small area of the fairyland."
"The Immortal Realm just laughed it off. They are irrational beasts, and they are only at the Earth Immortal level. They can't do anything. We can just send a few Heavenly Immortals to suppress them."
"So that's how it is. Immortal Changcun is indeed knowledgeable." Most people believed what Immortal Changcun said.
Immortal Changcun has always been known in Jiuzhou as a knowledgeable and omniscient person. In addition, he has never cheated anyone and has a very high reputation.
There is still a small number of people in the Tribulation Crossing stage who don’t believe it, but now that things have come to this, they have to believe it even if they don’t.
It's better to have hope than no hope.
“Since the demons from outside the domain are only at the Earth Immortal level, then who destroyed our ladder to immortality?” The Long-browed Buddha was puzzled.
"Well, it might be a new species of extraterritorial demon. But it doesn't matter. There is only one special extraterritorial demon. If the sky falls, there is always someone higher to hold it up. With Daozu, Buddha and others guarding the fairyland, they will definitely be able to deal with that extraterritorial demon."
Everyone was grinning from ear to ear. The more Immortal Changcun belittled the extraterritorial demons, the more they felt that the extraterritorial demons were not a big problem and they could wait for support from the immortal world.
Changcun Xianweng breathed a sigh of relief. He had stayed in the cave for dozens of days and spent some time compiling this excuse just in case. Now it seemed that it was put to use.
After getting the answers they wanted from Immortal Changcun, everyone took their leave and went back to recuperate.
As everyone left, Immortal Changcun's smile gradually disappeared. He returned to the cave, sat facing the bookshelf, and said nothing.
He fabricated a demon from outer space out of thin air and said that his master was a special demon from outer space, which made Immortal Changcun feel guilty.
He kept telling himself that there was nothing else to do, what could he say, he could only say this.
Do I have to tell you that Daozu is dead, the immortal world is hostile to Jiuzhou, and there will be a steady stream of enemies coming. Earthly immortals are just the beginning, and there may be celestial immortals and even higher-level immortals in the future. Don't resist, you're going to die anyway, so why not indulge yourself?
If he really tells the truth, conflicts will really arise between the righteous and evil sects in Jiuzhou, and the neutral cultivators will most likely join the evil sect.
Before the immortal world conquers Jiuzhou, Jiuzhou itself will perish.
It would be better to invent a false hope for them, which can only last for a while.
Jiang Li looked at Immortal Changcun quietly and sighed softly.
…
The young monk learned about the existence of the extraterritorial demon from the Long-browed Buddha and felt very confused.
He had read a lot of scriptures and poems, but had never seen any words about the demon from outer space in the books. Now, Immortal Changcun suddenly told everyone that there was a small and insignificant enemy in the fairy world, called the demon from outer space.
The young monk was very skeptical about Immortal Changcun's words.
He told his doubts to the Buddha with long eyebrows, and the Buddha with long eyebrows said Amitabha: "Xumeru, believe that what Changcun Xianweng said is the best result, and don't dwell on this matter anymore."
The young monk was puzzled and rarely listened to his master.
He insisted that there was something wrong with Changcun Xianweng.
…
Twenty years later, another major event occurred that swept across Kyushu.
Taoist Jin is going to hold a conference to promote immortality and invite fellow Taoists to observe.
"Senior Jin, why did you choose to hold the Ascension Conference at this time? There is no sign of the ladder to immortality yet. What's the point of becoming an immortal now?" The Long-Eyebrowed Buddha found Taoist Jin and asked about the situation. Apart from Taoist Jin, he was the person closest to the calamity of becoming an immortal and was very concerned about Taoist Jin's every move.
Taoist Jin shook his head helplessly: "I have no choice. I don't want to cross the calamity, but the calamity of becoming an immortal will find me automatically."
"I stopped practicing for twenty years. I thought I could avoid the calamity of becoming an immortal. Unfortunately, a month ago, I still sensed the calamity of becoming an immortal."
"Don't worry. Even though I have passed the immortal tribulation, I am not an immortal. My life will not be in danger."

"So that's how it is." The long-browed Buddha nodded.
The Ascension Conference was held as scheduled. Nineteen people in the Tribulation Crossing stage came with their disciples to observe, and the Immortal Master Changcun was also invited.
In the past, the Ascension Conferences attracted the attention of the public, with the whole country celebrating and the elders from the immortal world coming down to comment on the event. It was a grand event.
This time, the Ascension Conference was deserted, with less than a hundred people attending.
Most cultivators don't know yet that the ladder to immortality has been crushed by someone. Such big news cannot be concealed and one day everyone will know about it.
As per custom, Taoist Jin gave an opening speech, thanked his fellow Taoists for their visit, and shared his experience in spiritual practice, making people feel that the trip was worthwhile.
At the end of the story, Jin Daoren stopped talking and looked up at the sky.
The catastrophe of becoming an immortal is approaching, dark clouds are covering the city, the sun and moon are dim, the stars are hidden, and thunder is roaring, resounding through the sky.
"Haha, that's enough of the small talk. I'm going to go and face a disaster first, and then I'll discuss the way of immortality with you all!"
Taoist Jin laughed heartily. Although he was not undergoing the tribulation at the right time and in the right place, it was still the tribulation of becoming an immortal that he had always dreamed of.
“No matter how many times I watch the Immortal Tribulation, I still feel that the power of heaven is so great that it cannot be defeated.” The demon cultivator Li Wu secretly sighed.
Taoist Jin is a veteran in the tribulation-crossing period, inherited from the Jinyuan Palace in the fairyland. He is equipped with great immortal magic and secret techniques, and has prepared many methods to cross the tribulation. This tribulation is a piece of cake for him.
Immortal Changcun didn't think there was anything wrong with Taoist Jin.
Purple thunder descended upon the world, washing across the nine provinces, and all living beings were terrified.
"Golden pestle body!"
Taoist Jin shouted loudly, and his body seemed to be made of immortal gold, even his eyelashes were the same, indestructible.
The Golden Pestle Body is the martial art that Taoist Jin is proud of. His body is like a vajra, which can slay demons and monsters when attacking, and have unparalleled defense when retreating.
He has already cultivated the golden pestle to perfection.
