Deng Yin could hardly believe that Shi Feiyang could catch the Nine Child Mother Thunder Pearl barehanded.

He knew very well the level of Jiulei God Monarch. Ever since he had followed him, he had also cultivated parts of the "Blood God Scripture," completing the Demon Palace inherited from his father-in-law, Fu Gua, the Old Demon. The Nine Child Mother Thunder Pearl had also been improved. Even though it wouldn't harm him anymore, he still wouldn't be able to catch it barehanded.

After a brief contemplation, he instructed Red Corpse God Monarch, Jiulei God Monarch, Red Lotus Demon, and Master Xiao Yue to gather all Blood God's sons and prepare for battle. He then went to find the two princesses.

Meanwhile, Shi Feiyang relocated Emei Mountain back to its original place. Qi Shuming opened the cave door to invite him inside for a meeting.

Qi Shuming was the first to express his sincere gratitude to Shi Feiyang for his long journey to come to their aid.

If Shi Feiyang hadn't come this time, the Three Immortals and Two Elders, Li Yingqiong, Zhou Qingyun, and others might still have escaped. However, the entire Emei Sect would have been reduced to just a few top-level Heavenly Immortals, with all remaining disciples, followers, and the whole of Emei Mountain buried in the Blood Lake.

They were all on the verge of ascension, with the Dharma Decline Era approaching fast, leaving no time to train new successors. The entire Emei Sect's legacy would have been entirely severed.

Strictly speaking, the Emei Sect had only been established for less than a century since its founding. In the previous thousand years and three generations' efforts, it was all about accumulation, not a true representation of the Emei Sect.

An Immortal Sect that was founded and went extinct in less than a century was nothing but a joke in the Immortal Realm…

Shi Feiyang's intervention had saved the Emei Sect's heritage. Not only were Qi Shuming and the mortals grateful, but even Master Chang Mei, who had already ascended, would thank him.

This time, Li Yingqiong and the others had their spirits dampened and were no longer as arrogant as before.

Shi Feiyang said, "Blood Demon and Red Corpse are coming soon; I urge all fellow Daoists to prepare early."

Qi Shuming nodded, asked Shangguan Hong to accompany him briefly, and took the remaining people into the inner cave.

Soon, they came out again and informed Shi Feiyang of their decision.

The Emei Sect was preparing for a collective ascension this time!

The Three Immortals and Two Elders, the Three Heroes and Two Clouds, Zhuge Ziling, and others who could leave would leave. Only Shangguan Hong would stay to watch over the remaining Emei disciples who could not ascend.

They entrusted those who couldn't leave to Shi Feiyang.

Of course, they offered their sincerity willingly.

Qi Shuming planned to give the Purple and Blue Double Swords and Spiritual Jade Peak to Shi Feiyang in exchange for him protecting the Emei Sect's legacy in the mortal realm.

This was a bit unexpected for Shi Feiyang. He anticipated that they would leave, but he didn't expect them to give him these three items.

Qi Shuming had already retrieved the peak and swords: "Fellow Daoist Shi, you hold the Heavenly Treasure Mirror and inherit the Heavenly God's legacy. These three items all come from the Taixu Immortal Mansion of the Heavenly God, so it aligns with the Dao for them to return to you."

In reality, they couldn't take these items with them upon ascension. They had to leave them in the Human World, which was about to enter the Dharma Decline Era, rendering these items merely mortal treasures. In the original setting, even the Seven Cultivation Swords later became ordinary mortal-world weapons, still called divine weapons but merely sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, losing any divine effectiveness of transforming into rainbows or soaring to the sky.

The Purple and Blue Double Swords were similar; Spiritual Jade Peak would eventually become an ordinary potted ornament.

At this point, gifting them to Shi Feiyang earned a favor, but even if they didn't give them, these items would eventually be considered "supreme divine weapons" in the Jianghu Martial Arts community after a few years.

They entrusted the remaining Emei disciples to Shi Feiyang, asking him to protect them until the Dharma Decline Era arrived. Shangguan Hong would leave before that, and the disciples who truly couldn't ascend had no choice but to live as long-lived earthly immortals and mountain cultivators until they faded into the general populace over the years.

However, they would continue to pass down the "Purple and Blue Treasure Talisman" from generation to generation, waiting for the revival of spiritual energy to resume cultivation, refine Qi, and achieve immortality and ascension.

Originally, they intended to create their own Grotto Heavens to hide in, as planned by both the Kunlun and Wudang Sects. However, the severe depletion of spiritual energy and Deng Yin's relentless pursuit left them with no choice. Shi Feiyang was the only one capable of confronting Deng Yin and stopping the Blood God's sons, thus they turned to Shi Feiyang for refuge.

The Kunlun and Wudang Sects also sent their seniors to ascend while the juniors sought refuge by Shi Feiyang in the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain. Boarding the "last train," they lacked the baptism of heavenly tribulations, resulting in a significant disparity in form and spirit realms. Fearing Shi Feiyang might treat them differently, they offered the sect's finest treasures to him.

Shi Feiyang didn't accept the items from those two sects, but he decided to take the Purple and Blue Treasure Sword and Spiritual Jade Peak.

He cultivated the Purple and Blue Douluo Fire, perfectly matching with the Purple and Blue Double Swords, which would have great use in the future.

On the Spiritual Jade Peak, there was the prototype of the Liangyi Six Harmonies Microdust Formation, which is the model that has transformed the Primordial for ten thousand generations. Insightful contemplation of it would greatly benefit oneself.

Seeing that Shi Feiyang agreed, Qi Shuming and the others breathed a long sigh of relief.

They were still unsure how Shi Feiyang would weather the calamity of Spiritual Energy depletion in the future, guessing he would either stay here or go to other Heavenly worlds. Shi Feiyang had truly become a Golden Immortal, unlike the previous "Earthly Immortal" who had reached the level of a Golden Immortal but hadn't been to Heaven. Even in the Dharma Destruction Era, his Mana would at most decline, but he would still be able to live forever, awaiting the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, ensuring the Emei Sect's disciples would be in safe hands, without a doubt.

Everyone thanked Shi Feiyang again and immediately chose to ascend. Qi Shuming, Xuan Zhenzi, Xun Lanyin, Bai Guyi, Zhu Mei, Master Can Xia, Li Yingqiong, Zhou Qingyun, Yu Yingnan, Qi Lingyun... a total of over twenty Heavenly Immortals, after explaining their last wishes to their disciples, ascended together. Soon, the Immortal Light arrived, and one by one, they "shed their golden cicada shells" and soared into the sky.

Shangguan Hong, as the new Sect Leader of the Emei Sect, led the remaining junior disciples in kneeling down and offering prayers.

Among them, Zhuge Jingwo was unable to ascend due to previous injuries and needed to recuperate and adjust properly.

Ruan Zheng, Shen Tuhong, Yan Renying, and others were trapped in the Blood Lake. Shi Feiyang promised to find them later and help them ascend if possible, or ensure their safe reincarnation if not.

After they all left, Shi Feiyang said to Shangguan Hong, "The Blood God Red Corpse has arrived, heading to Heaven to stop the fellow Daoists from ascending. You guys quickly prepare, and I'll take you away while they're distracted."

Hearing this, Shangguan Hong and others became very anxious, worried about the elders encountering any misfortunes, and if they would be hit down.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qi is carrying the Douluo True Decree of the Heavenly God. If the demons dare to obstruct, it will trigger a Heavenly Tribulation."

Only then did Shangguan Hong and the others relax, replying that they were all ready. Shi Feiyang covered them with a piece of golden light and swiftly moved them away with a flick of his sleeve.

He initially intended to bring the entire Emei Mountain, considering it also housed the Liangyi Microdust Formation. However, it had not been baptized by a Heavenly Tribulation and had been soaked in the Blood Lake, its Dull Energy was too heavy, affecting the pure essence of the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, so he chose to only take the people across.

Just as they left, Deng Yin and others arrived, descending from the sky in a bedraggled state...

The Douluo True Decree was the Heavenly God's certification for the Emei Sect. Long ago, Master Chang Mei made a grand vow to accumulate a million good deeds to revitalize the Daoist sects in the Mortal World.

The Heavenly God awarded him this Douluo True Decree, recognizing Emei Sect as the future leader of countless immortals, the leader of the Mysterious Sect.

However, Master Chang Mei did not achieve the million good deeds, and the writings on the Douluo True Decree would change according to the actual circumstances.

Qi Shuming could have originally become a Golden Immortal and assumed a minor leadership role in Heaven, but after a series of events, the decree's specifications diminished, and now he could only be somewhat stronger than an ordinary Heavenly Immortal upon ascending.

But still, it was a True Decree personally stamped and issued by the Heavenly God. Ordinary Heavenly Immortals would have Heavenly Realm Spiritual Light protection during ascension, safeguarding their Primordial Spirit, and those who had accumulated many good deeds would have Merit Spiritual Light, varying in form. Back when Lu Rongbo only had Heavenly Realm Spiritual Light, he couldn't withstand Sanfeng's attack and would be struck down.

Deng Yin, seeing many people ascending from afar, rushed over, wildly unleashing Blood Shadow Divine Light to knock Qi Shuming and others down.

Qi Shuming anticipated his obstruction, unfurled the True Decree, and prayed to the Heavenly God. The decree immediately stirred the Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth, triggering a Heavenly Tribulation. A Spirit Officer detecting this, reported to the Heavenly Patrol Marshal, and Marshal Zhao, the Patriarch of the Tiger-Riding Altar of Mystery, had long received the decree, bringing two deputies and 1,200 Heavenly Soldiers to assist.

This Marshal Zhao was Zhao Gongming, riding a tiger, directly initiating the Mystic Wind Eternal Tribulation. Instantly, a gale from Heaven obscured the mile around, merely darkening the sky without any clouds.

The sky turned dark, but the twenty or so Heavenly Immortals remained unaffected, their bodies protected by Spiritual Light, continuing their ascension.

Deng Yin swore to annihilate Master Chang Mei's Daoist lineage on Earth, killing all his disciples. Now, how could he allow them to ascend, letting out a long howl as he led the charge into the Mystic Wind Eternal Tribulation.

The fierce wind in the sky, which disintegrated common Divine Demons and Evil Ghosts into remnants with a mere blow, was unbearable for even the Blood God's son and others. Seeing the danger, the Red Lotus Demon and others dared not advance too far, only Deng Yin rushed the most aggressively and fastest. He reached below Qi Shuming and others, his fingers shooting out thousands of feet-long Blood Rainbows, condensing a gigantic demon claw the size of a mountain, with many small demon claws on the palm and fingers, aiming to capture Qi Shuming and others all at once.

Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun wanted to cast spells to counterattack but were stopped by Qi Shuming, saying, "With the protection of the Heavenly God, we are guaranteed safety. Just focus on ascending, do not act otherwise!"

As expected, seeing the rampant demons in the Lower Realm, Zhao Gongming in Heaven shouted like thousands of miles of thunder, rumbling through the sky. He shook the Divine Whip in his hand, projecting countless whip shadows downwards, smashing Deng Yin's manifested demon claws, and then released the Divine Rope, aiming to capture Deng Yin and hand him over to the North Pole Exorcism Institute for disposal.
