Chapter 416
In traditional ascension, the ascender finds a secluded place to fully release his own cultivation, attracts the heavenly tribulation and then fights against it. If he succeeds, he will ascend to the immortal world, and if he fails, he will die.
There are only two issues to worry about in this process, one is to resist the inner demon, and the other is to beware of enemies seeking revenge at a critical moment.
In order to avoid these two situations, the ascender usually does not disclose the place and time of his ascension, and even finds some trusted fellow disciples to protect him.
In the Internet era, ascension is different. Tianyuan Holy Land not only did not find a secluded place for Lin Bai, but also built a stage for ascension and a viewing seat.
Not only did they not conceal the ascension location and time, but they also made advance notices and even press conferences. There are no protectors, but there are quite a lot of reporters.
As for the issues to consider, there are even more.
"Ancestor, why don't you change your clothes? This set of clothes is not very conspicuous against the sky, and it's hard for the camera to capture it."
"Ancestor, I'll put on some makeup for you and comb your hair again."
"Ancestor, remember to look at the camera when you cross the tribulation later. After we shout "start", you can use all your strength to cultivate and attract the tribulation."
"Ancestor, do you want to add a few lines, such as "My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of God."
"Ancestor, this is the elixir for you to restore your mana when you cross the tribulation. Remember to point the side with the label to the front when you take it out."
"Ancestor, this is your ascension speech after you successfully cross the tribulation..."
......
In the main hall of the sect, more than a dozen disciples of the Tianyuan Holy Land were busy with Lin Bai. Some were putting on makeup for him, some were styling his hair, and some were discussing with him which side to face when crossing the tribulation.
Hearing this, Lin Bai suddenly felt that crossing the tribulation was a bit too troublesome.
At this moment, Wang Teng also came over.
"Ancestor, these are the spirit stones that the sect has prepared for you. There are not many, only more than 3 billion. You don't know what will happen when you go up there. You can take these spirit stones with you. If possible, use them to make arrangements."
I was a little touched when I heard this, but when Wang Teng said the following sentence, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"If the people above ask you to go mining, you can ask them to give you an easier job. Don't be reluctant to spend spirit stones when you go up there. If you are short of spirit stones, send us a message. Don't put all the spirit stones in one bag. The fairy world is not like the Tianyuan Continent. If you encounter a robbery, life is more important than spirit stones."
Looking at the storage bag handed over by Wang Teng, Lin Bai always felt that he was not going to ascend to heaven, but rather going to jail.
"No need, keep these spirit stones for yourselves. It's not easy for the sect to earn some spirit stones."
"Grandmaster, you worry too much. Today we live broadcast your tribulation and ascension, and we have earned several hundred million in advertising fees. With the guests' congratulations and the rewards in the live broadcast room, it is estimated that we will earn more than 3 billion today. You should regard these as your own earnings."
Lin Bai:...
"With you here, Tianyuan Holy Land may be lonely, but it will definitely not be poor. I can ascend with peace of mind."
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Grandmaster. Grandmaster, you take a rest for a while. I will go downstairs to attend the opening ceremony." After a chuckle, Wang Teng put the storage bag aside, then turned and left the sect hall.
When he arrived at the venue below, two Tianyuan Holy Land disciples, one man and one woman, also walked onto the stage. In front of tens of thousands of guests and hundreds of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, the two of them began to read the opening remarks.
"Dear guests, dear fellow Taoists, good morning."
"On this sunny day with birds singing and flowers blooming, we have ushered in the most celebrated day in the Tianyuan Holy Land in hundreds of years. The founder of the Tianyuan Holy Land, the White Bear Patriarch, is about to transcend the tribulation and ascend to the distant fairyland. We are excited and reluctant..."
......
"Let us congratulate the White Bear Patriarch to continue to move forward in the fairyland and reach the top!"
Hearing this, the Tianyuan cultivators in the live broadcast room could no longer contain their excitement.
"Here it comes, after saying so much nonsense, the most anticipated scene is finally coming."
"Yes, I have cultivated for hundreds of years and have never seen anyone transcend the tribulation and ascend. Today I can finally see it."
"TikTok is really a good thing. I can actually see people transcend the tribulation."
"Really, there are so many fancy things."
However, soon everyone found that things did not seem to be that simple.
After the host finished reading the opening remarks, it turned out that it was not a tribulation and ascending ceremony, but a song and dance performance.
There were even commercials after the song and dance performance.
But they had to endure the suspense of transcending the tribulation and ascending to heaven.
Even Lin Ye, who was sitting in the VIP seat, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this:
"Wang Teng really has the qualities of a great emperor. This live broadcast has made him understand the game. Let him be Lei Jun's deputy in the future."
Meanwhile, the Mahayana masters from other holy places quietly took out their notebooks and began to take notes, apparently preparing to repeat them later.
After performing countless programs and inserting countless commercials, the main topic finally came.
The two hosts from Tianyuan Holy Land took to the stage again.
"After thousands of miles of farewell, there will be a farewell. No matter how reluctant we are, the ancestor will eventually leave us."
"Let's welcome the ancestor with the warmest applause!"
As soon as the voice fell, the scene rang out with extremely warm applause.
Along with the applause, there was also a special background music for the God of Gamblers.
The next second, Lin Bai's figure floated down from the sect hall on the top of the sect building. When he fell, countless flowers fell from the sky.
Finally, he landed steadily in the center of the stage.
He was already a fairy, and with professional makeup and a fairy-like outfit, he looked even more extraordinary.
As soon as he landed, the host on the side hurriedly handed him a microphone.
After getting the microphone, Lin Bai did not speak at length like the previous host, but only said one sentence.
"The immortal road is long, today I will take this step first, and we will see each other in the fairyland one day!"
This simple sentence expressed his determination to ascend.
After that, all the people on the stage and even around the stage left, and a series of defensive formations rose from the viewing seats next to it.
Except for the middle stage area, all other areas were covered by formations.
At this time, Lin Bai no longer suppressed his own cultivation and completely released his Qi.
The extremely powerful spiritual pressure filled the entire Tianyuan Holy Land and caused a sudden change in the situation.
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color. The originally clear sky was gradually covered by haze, and large patches of black clouds appeared out of thin air.
In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of 100 miles was covered by heavy leaden clouds. With this scene, an indescribable pressure came from the sky.
The people who felt this pressure suddenly felt as if a big stone was pressing on their hearts, making them breathless.
Even the online live broadcast room audience across the live broadcast screen had the same feeling.
This feeling made them terrified and pale, and the Qi Refining cultivators were like this, and the Mahayana cultivators were also like this.
Just at this moment, a purple light suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by a loud noise that resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Crack! Boom!
Everyone who heard this loud noise knew that the heavenly calamity was coming!
