The Immortal Cultivation Game Has Come True

Xuanqing awakened from his deep slumber, sensing that Water Blue Star had accumulated enough power of incense fire for him to break through.

At his realm, there would be no illusion or misperception. Hence, this feeling signified that there was indeed enough power for his breakthrough.

“I should go back and check!”

The next moment.

Xuanqing’s figure disappeared from the Thirty-six Heavens.

…

…

Water Blue Star.

The 35th year of the Federation New Calendar, September 1st!

Today is a special day, marking thirty-five years since the establishment of the Great Yan Federation. Every year, September 1st is a nationwide celebration.

According to the legal stipulations, September 1st of each year is ‘Federation Celebration Day.’ Except for special posts, the entire Federation will celebrate with a ‘seven-day’ holiday.

Even those who occupy the cannot-leave posts will receive ‘five times’ their usual salary as compensation during these seven days.

At this moment.

Moonlight City on Water Blue Star is extraordinarily lively.

As the location of the first teleportation array in the interstellar era and the establishment of the Great Yan Federation, this annual Federation celebration is held here.

On the high platform.

Yang Ying, dressed in an extravagant ceremonial outfit, gazes at the media reporters, dignitaries, representatives of the public, and cultivators below.

Even though she tries her best to suppress the ’emperor-level’ aura on her, the aura that unintentionally radiates from her still makes people feel overwhelmed, as if staring up at a high mountain.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, on the 35th anniversary of the Federation’s establishment, the entire Federation has been peaceful and prosperous under the blessing of the Main God Taichu.”

“Today is the annual Federation Celebration Day again, and the first thing we’re going to do is to pay tribute to the Main God!”

Yang Ying looks devout, her eyes seem to shimmer with crystal light.

Nowadays, the residents of the Great Yan Federation do not worship heaven or the earth, their sole reverence is for the Main God Taichu.

The reason for this is that both the Lord of Heavenly Path, Cang Qingyu, and the Lord of Earthly Path, Huai Qingyun, are merely first-order attendants of the Main God Taichu.

It is worth mentioning.

Religions like Shimen, God Church, A3 God Sect… etc., over these thirty-odd years of development, have become niche churches with a very small number of believers.

Within the entire Federation… 99.9 percent of the population wholeheartedly believe in the Main God Taichu.

Even those with no talent for cultivation, ordinary people who have no hope in their lifetime, habitually burn incense in prayer for the Main God Taichu every day. Over time, even those who do not actually believe will become nominal followers.

They turned their gaze towards Moonlight City.

“Sacrifice to the Main God!”

Accompanied by Yang Ying’s clear shout.

The next moment.

The workforce, who had been prepared in advance, initiated the sacrifice to the Main God ceremony.

Those who were hammering stakes did so, those who were chanting scriptures did so, and those who were drawing diagrams illustrated the immense contributions of the Main God Taichu through the burnt words.

Seeing this.

Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing exchanged a glance, then each began to activate their ‘Emperor Authority,’ manipulating the natural laws of Water Blue Star.

In an instant.

The wind rushes, and auspicious signs are everywhere.

Drip, drip~ tap, tap…

Rain started to fall from the sky, moistening all things silently, and wetting the guests attending the celebration in Moonlight City.

“The reward of good and evil, like shadows following their subjects, with the Heaven and Earth Main God Taichu…”

“The reward of good and evil…..”

…

Suddenly.

All the people on the scene pinched their fingers in a specific pattern, murmuring words in their mouths, they were reciting the Taishang Ganying Pian.

This is the holy scripture that the Main God Taichu taught to all beings when he first appeared on Qingping Holy Mountain. Over time… it is almost recited every Federation Celebration Day.

For a moment.

The entire Moonlight City, except for the divine sound of the scriptures, could hear no other sounds, making it immensely solemn and sacred.

Just when everyone thought that this year’s Federation Celebration would proceed smoothly like the previous thirty odd years.

…

An unexpected situation occurred!!

The high peak in the east, reaching up to the sky, radiated enormous waves. The tremors were so strong that even ordinary people without mana could feel the shock.

“Look at Qingping Holy Mountain quickly!”

Someone shouted unknownly, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.

Everyone turned their gaze to the east, towards that holy land in the hearts of the people of the Great Yan Federation, towards the residence of the great Main God who led all beings into the interstellar era and towards a life of happiness and well-being.

Light!

An incomparably dazzling golden light!

The entire Qingping Holy Mountain seemed to be coated in a layer of golden radiance.

Under normal circumstances, this brilliance, brighter than the sun, would sting the eyes of all living beings.

However.

When everyone looked at the radiance on Qingping Holy Mountain, they found themselves unable to move their gazes, wanting to stare at it forever.

Warm and comfortable… as if returning to their mother’s womb, submerged in the primordial spiritual water.

In an instant.

There was only one thought in everyone’s mind…

The Main God Taichu has arrived!

After decades, the legendary Main God Taichu has descended onto the Water Blue Star once again, right when the Federation was celebrating its grand festival.

In such a way.

Everyone went mad.

They shaped their fingers into mudras, raising them high above their heads, murmuring the name of the Main God Taichu under their breath, their eyes brimming with deep gratitude.

Even though decades have passed.

Everyone still remembers the contributions of the Taichu Main God to the human race. Everyone knows who is responsible for the life they are living today.

Thud~

Thud~

Compared to the ordinary people’s mudra salute, the cultivators were even more solemn. They not only raised their fist seals but also knelt on the ground, shouting out in unison:

“Disciple pays respect to Main God Taichu!”

“Disciple pays respect to Main God Taichu!”

“Disciple pays respect to Main God Taichu!”

…

Besides the ordinary people, the cultivators were even more fanatical.

On the Water Blue Star, there is only one cultivation technique, that is, The Law of Divine Cosmic Contemplation, a technique where the more devout the faith, the more spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth one can draw.

In other words!

The most devout may not be the highest in cultivation. However, the higher the cultivation, the more devout their faith must be.

…

On the high platform.

A light flowed in Yang Ying’s eyes.

When she saw the commotion on Qingping Holy Mountain, she couldn’t contain her joy.

Thirty-five years have passed, but her face remained unmarked by time.

Indeed, because she held the emperor’s authority, and managed the affairs of the Federation’s humanity year-round, she had developed an indescribable bearing, making her look like an empress, emanating an untouchable nobility.

However, looking at Qingping Holy Mountain, this empress displayed the behavior of a young girl, as if she was back to the time when she was a journalist, absolutely stunned, mouth agape at the miracles wrought by a Daoist priest.

Not just her.

Alongside her, Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing both showed reminiscing expressions.

Perhaps.

To cultivators, thirty-five years may be a mere snap of the fingers.

But for them, thirty-five years is a very long time, long enough for them to miss their palace lord dearly.

And now… their backbone has finally come out.

…

…

Never mind the scene in Moonlight City.

The scene returns to Qingping Holy Mountain.

At this moment.

Xuanqing looked around at the thick, liquefying river of faith power—the power of incense fire, and couldn’t help but be amazed.

Thirty-two years!

A full thirty-two years of accumulated incense power is now all gathered on Qingping Mountain.

And what was seen just now in Moonlight City was caused by the massive amount of incense power gathered on Qingping Mountain. Even the formation couldn’t contain it, resulting in ripples of residual waves coming out.

“I never thought that in merely thirty years, the Great Yan Federation would have developed to this extent!”

A slight anticipation arose in Xuanqing’s heart.

Then.

With a thought.

His divine soul left his body, enveloping the liquefied river of faith power, and murmured quietly:

“Recharge!”
