The Peach Mountain Ancestor thought to himself that this calamity might be an opportunity to accumulate enough fortune and merit to lead the entire Peach Immortal Path to ascend to the upper realm.
However, this was just his wishful thinking; reality was far more cruel.
First, they must face this calamity and find a way to survive.
Because Peach Immortal Path is a heretical sect, not part of the orthodox path of immortals and demons, the two sides are likely to join forces to eliminate it.
If that day ever comes, Tao Xian Dao will surely fall into an abyss of no return.
The Peach Mountain Patriarch knew he couldn't just sit and wait for his doom. He had been trying to find a solution, but he hadn't been able to find one that was effective.
He understood that once the great calamity began, both the immortal and demonic paths would inevitably use the blood of the Peach Immortal Path disciples to cleanse their own karma, an act that was utterly outrageous.
He absolutely could not tolerate this happening and had to rise up in resistance!
For many years, the Peach Mountain Ancestor has been trying to glimpse the secrets of heaven, hoping to find a way out for the Peach Immortal Path.
But fate is unpredictable, and he was never able to find a definite answer. Although he knew of the existence of the Chosen Ones, these Chosen Ones were not born within the territory of the Peach Immortal Path.
He tried to travel to other places in hopes of taking a few chosen ones as his disciples, but all attempts ended in failure.
The Peach Mountain Ancestor felt helpless and powerless; he didn't know how to change the situation.
However, he did not give up and continued to rack his brains for a way out. He firmly believed that as long as he persisted, he would eventually find a turning point.
Fortunately, hard work pays off, and after a long period of effort and perseverance, a glimmer of hope finally emerged.
On that very day, as he was silently working on the secrets of heaven, he suddenly felt a stirring in his mind, and a strange surge of emotion welled up within him.
He immediately realized that this might be an important opportunity, so he hurriedly used this feeling to deduce the secrets of heaven.
After a brief but intense period of deduction, he finally understood everything.
He then quickly stood up, rose from the prayer mat, strode out of the main hall, and came to the outside of the Taoist palace.
He stood there quietly, gazing outwards from the mountains. At that moment, the entire mountain range was covered in lush vegetation, appearing vibrant with life.
As the sun gradually sets, the evening glow is as dazzling as flames, creating a tranquil and beautiful atmosphere.
He was dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe, bathed in the glow of the sunset, looking like an immortal descending to earth.
He silently chanted the incantation, and a moment later, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately opened his divine eyes, looking down the mountain.
In an instant, the originally ordinary scene suddenly became extraordinary. He saw the flow of earth energy between heaven and earth, the mist of spiritual energy, and various kinds of fortune intertwined and entwined between heaven and earth like dragons.
The next moment, he turned his gaze to a town at the foot of the mountain, focusing his energy on his eyes to carefully observe the situation above the town.
At this moment, wisps of celestial light began to gather in the sky above the town. These celestial lights were like dragons and tigers, and the rules of heaven and earth resided within them, making them ever-changing.
Wisps of auspicious clouds, like smoke or mist, hung down from the sky and began to drift in the wind over the town.
Auspicious clouds rose from the earth, their radiance dazzling, and they subtly transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, piercing the heavens.
Beyond the heavens, countless stars shone brightly, and the power of countless stars descended from the sky, faintly enveloping the entire town.
Of course, ordinary people cannot see such a sight; only immortal cultivators like the Peach Mountain Ancestor, after activating their divine eyes, can see this extraordinary phenomenon.
Nine giant dragons and nine tigers appeared in the sky above the town, circling and flying around it, each dragon and tiger exuding a powerful aura.
In the center of the nine dragons and nine tigers, there is a huge phantom palace, its entire body composed of golden light, radiating a dazzling brilliance.
Upon seeing this scene, the Peach Mountain Ancestor's eyes flashed with joy, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh: "Wonderful! This is the birth of a chosen one of heaven! Such a celestial phenomenon is truly rare. If we can take him as a disciple, he will surely achieve great things in cultivation."
Just then, the Supreme Elder of Peach Immortal Path quietly appeared behind the Peach Mountain Ancestor.
Looking at the strange phenomenon below the mountain, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "Master! This boy is destined to be with my Peach Immortal Sect! If we can recruit him into the sect, he will surely become a pillar of our sect in the future."
Upon hearing the Supreme Elder's words, the Peach Mountain Patriarch's heart stirred. He quickly turned around, bowed respectfully to the Supreme Elder, and said, "Uncle-Master is absolutely right! This child is destined for greatness and is indeed a rare genius. However..."
Seeing that the Peach Mountain Patriarch looked troubled and seemed to have some concerns, the Supreme Elder smiled and urged, "What are you worried about, Master? Why don't you hurry up and take this boy into our sect?"
After a moment of silence, the Peach Mountain Patriarch finally voiced his concerns: "Uncle-Master, this child possesses the aura of a destined one, which will inevitably attract the attention and competition of various forces. We must proceed with caution to avoid unnecessary trouble. Therefore, I would like to ask you, Uncle-Master, to accompany me, just in case."
The Supreme Elder nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the concerns of Patriarch Taoshan. After a moment's thought, he understood Patriarch Taoshan's intention.
After all, as the head of a sect, Patriarch Taoshan naturally had to consider more factors.
Therefore, he readily agreed to the request of the Peach Mountain Ancestor and expressed his willingness to fully support his decision.
After making up their minds, the two immediately returned to their residence, packed their belongings quickly, took two magical treasures with them, and then gathered in front of the mountain gate.
Then, they each summoned a lucky cloud and flew together down to the foot of Wantao Mountain.
Since both of them were immortals, they could easily ride the clouds and mist, and their flight speed was also very fast.
Before long, they successfully reached the foot of the mountain and quickly flew over the town.
The two stood high in the clouds, looking down at the town below.
Then they noticed that one house in town was particularly lively, as if they were busy with something important.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that dozens of people had gathered in the backyard of this household, and faint groans of pain could be heard coming from the mistress's room.
Judging from the sound, it was probably a woman in the midst of a difficult childbirth.
Indeed, that is the case.
The head of the household is called Master Du, and the woman giving birth is his legal wife.
Speaking of which, this Mr. Du is over fifty years old and has accumulated a large fortune, making him one of the wealthiest families in the town.
He seems to be a big winner in life.
But in reality, there has always been one thing that has been troubling him.
That is, he clearly had a legal wife and more than ten concubines, but after living together for many years, none of them bore him a son or daughter.
The fact that his vast fortune had no heir left kept him awake at night...
