Youyou was stunned. She hadn't expected that Hongfei would remember what she had just said casually and keep helping her find ways to understand her abilities.
"Thank you!" she said, and couldn't help but feel a little looking forward to the so-called Dharma assembly. "May I ask, you've been talking about the opportunity to cultivate divinity, what exactly is that opportunity?"
"This... I don't know either." Hong Fei shook her head. "I've participated in several Ascension Ceremony in the past. The cultivation levels of the immortals who received the opportunity varied greatly, and it wasn't based on the level of cultivation. Some were even just newly ascended Earth Immortals. However, without exception, after receiving the opportunity, these immortals would go into seclusion to cultivate, and would only occasionally appear to guide other immortals!"
"The current number of Divine Lords in the Immortal Realm are all immortals who have obtained opportunities in the past." As if she had thought of something, she added, "However, although they are respectfully called Divine Lords, they are not actually true gods. They are only close to breaking through, and when they reach true perfection, they will ascend to the Divine Realm."
"So, they're just quasi-gods?" Youyou asked.
“You could say that!” Hong Fei nodded. “Just like ascending to immortality, gods could probably travel easily between the mortal and immortal realms.”
"..." Youyou recalled the words of the divine thought, and realized that the two worlds were indeed not interconnected.
“Oh, right!” Hong Fei continued, “I did hear the Fifth Emperor mention that he once received guidance from an immortal of opportunity. He guessed that the opportunity of the Ascension Ceremony might be related to the divine realm, possibly a special inheritance. Or perhaps it came from the incarnation of a true god from the upper realm, who personally descended to guide the path of cultivation.”
"Wait!" exclaimed the avatar of consciousness. "You mean... divine sense?!"
"That must be it! Otherwise, those with such fortuitous opportunities wouldn't go into seclusion directly," Hong Fei nodded.
You You's lips twitched, and he directly took out the Divine Summoning Token from his side, made a hand seal, and directly manifested the five divine thoughts inside.
Like this?
"Huh?" Hong Fei, who was in the communication talisman, was taken aback. Looking down, she saw five divine lights suddenly appear on the wooden plaque that looked somewhat familiar to You You. In less than a moment, five miniature transparent figures appeared.
The key point is that the group was sitting around a table, with four people sitting on one side and one person sitting on the corner of the table, occasionally making loud noises.
"Eight of Bamboo!"
"I won!"
"I won too!"
"One shot, three hits! Hahahaha!"
"groove!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! If you lose, it'll be my turn!"
Hong Fei: "..." This is... divine thought?
Youyou: "..." I shouldn't have taught them to play mahjong, they're addicted!
————————
You You eventually went to the so-called Ascension Ceremony, mainly to send the five divine thoughts from the Divine Decree upwards. Divine thoughts are indeed a tremendous opportunity for the Immortal Realm. However, they are of little use to the disciples of the True Transformation Sect.
They were born with divine sense, and their understanding was limited to methods of cultivating divinity using immortal energy; they knew little about cultivation techniques. Apart from Nie Zheng, no one in the entire Zhenyan Sect could practice them. Rather than keeping them in the sect to eat and drink for free, it was better to send them to heaven to teach the Ancestor Yuan and Hong Fei.
Furthermore, the divine thoughts also stated that they were originally created to guide those cultivating in the lower realms. To return to the divine realm, they must ascend together with the one they were guiding. Guiding immortals is naturally faster than guiding mortals. This is why those immortals who obtained such opportunities immediately went into seclusion or retreated to the world, urged on by the divine thoughts eager to return.
Coincidentally, there are five emperors in the celestial realm, each specializing in a different immortal path, which perfectly matches the cultivation methods practiced by the five divine senses, making it a perfect even distribution with one method for each person.
The emperors, suddenly presented with an opportunity, were speechless.
I just... don't find any of those Dharma assemblies appealing anymore!
This time, You You brought Ling Qi and Nie Zheng with him. Ling Qi has always known about the affairs of the Immortal Realm. In addition, the Ancestor Yuan ascended to heaven suddenly back then, and many things were not explained clearly. After so many years, he took this opportunity to visit his relatives.
Nie Zheng was originally an immortal. Although he had received a lot of inheritance from the divine sense recently, the Ascension Dharma Assembly was not only an opportunity in the divine realm, but also an exchange and discussion among immortals, which would help his cultivation.
Moreover, the location of the Ascension Ceremony is not within the Nine Heavens Realm, but on a special floating island on the edge of the Immortal Realm. It does not belong to any of the Nine Heavens, yet it is within the Immortal Realm. Therefore, the might of the various Heavens has no effect on it, and immortals of all cultivation levels can go there.
You You hadn't originally planned to bring Feng Rong along, since he had just reunited with his parents and should spend more time with them to strengthen their bond. Unexpectedly, Feng Rong still came along when they set off.
"Huh! Didn't Aunt Ran just say she needed to talk to you?" You You was taken aback.
Feng Rong pushed Ling Qi aside, habitually took her hand and squeezed it, saying, "The old man said I'm a mature phoenix now, and it's time for me to find a wife to cling to, so he kicked me out. Pshaw, if it weren't for the fact that we're family, I wouldn't want to go there!" She then moved even closer.
"..." No, is the jealousy of your Phoenix Clan hereditary?
Also, are you sure you didn't do this on purpose to provoke Rong's father to kick you out?
You You was somewhat speechless, but she still dragged him up to the upper realm. After all, Ling Qi was still a mortal and couldn't withstand too much immortal energy. She wasn't quite proficient in the method Yuan Qi had taught her to help shield against immortal energy, so having Feng Rong with her would provide more protection.
The Ascension Ceremony is the most important event in the Celestial Realm. Although it lasts for a month, the first ten days attract the most attendees. The first three days are the most lively, as the various Celestial Emperors bring their celestial lords along.
