Chapter 32: The Supreme Celestial Court, Crossing the Tribulation to Save the World!

Whether one is a common mortal or a mighty martial arts expert, in the face of this grand, intuitively revealed worldview, there is truly no difference.

And who, among these endless heavens, can claim a place for themselves?

Immortals! Only immortals!

City Lord Yueshi and the others seemed to have already vaguely guessed what Martial Dao Shen Yu was about to say next.

And indeed, it was so.

Martial Dao Shen Yu gestured again, and a unique cluster of light, radiating a soft white glow, appeared amidst the infinite expanse of worlds.

It shimmered brilliantly.

It gradually expanded.

"In the vast myriad of worlds, there are always those of extraordinary talent who, through various means, transcend their realms. In the infinite heavens, they attain great liberation and great fortune, no longer confined to a single world. These are the immortals. And when many immortals gather in one place, it becomes the Supreme Celestial Court!" Martial Dao Shen Yu said in a calm tone.

Those around him, including City Lord Yueshi, were filled with awe, emotion, and an endless sense of longing.

So it was true!

Only such beings are truly worthy of being called immortals!

One could only wonder which of the brilliant, talented powerhouses throughout history had truly achieved this, and whether they were now dwelling at ease within the Supreme Celestial Court, roaming freely through the infinite heavens.

"However," Martial Dao Shen Yu continued, "even among immortals, there are distinctions—differences in strength and status."

The crowd nodded subconsciously.

This was only natural.

Regardless, at this moment, whatever Martial Dao Shen Yu said was the absolute truth.

This was, after all, a genuine immortal!

"And for an immortal, if they wish to grow and advance further, the fastest and most righteous path is to descend into the world to undergo tribulations and accumulate merit." Martial Dao Shen Yu finally reached the core point.

He looked once more toward Saintess Xishan, who stood to the side, and continued:

"Merit is something that truly exists, yet not everyone is qualified to obtain it. Even for immortals like us, to acquire merit, we must seal our immortal bodies and reincarnate into a world on the verge of a great cosmic catastrophe, saving the masses, only then can it be earned."

"So that is how it is."

Saintess Xishan nodded slightly, though her expression remained largely unchanged.

What she had done was, in truth, only for her own obsession. It was not for something as ethereal as merit.

The others, however, were all struck by a sudden realization.

No wonder they never saw anyone receive blessings for doing good, nor did they see certain ruin for those who killed without restraint.

It turned out that common mortals did not even possess the qualifications to earn merit.

Yet, the crowd recalled what Martial Dao Shen Yu had said earlier.

Immortals descending to the world, innate sages, saving the masses, accumulating merit!

Looking back now, every word, every syllable, was absolutely authentic!

Those who had previously voiced their mockery were no longer just blushing; they were filled with panic and unease. They wished they could return to a moment ago and slap themselves soundly.

It was as if, at this very moment, there were immortal deities three feet above their heads, looking down upon all living beings!

"Beyond the inherent difficulty of obtaining merit, there are also many rules within the Celestial Court," Martial Dao Shen Yu spoke again. "One of them is the prohibition against easily utilizing the power of the Celestial Court. When we reincarnate to face tribulations, we are not permitted to casually disrupt or interfere with the affairs of other immortals who are saving the world. Otherwise, most of the merit in these infinite heavens would likely be easily snatched away by those formidable Great Luo Golden Immortals."

The crowd nodded in succession; this was easy to understand.

To a powerful immortal, what could a mortal calamity amount to?

In a world like theirs, it would likely be destroyed with the flick of a hand.

If there were no rules, how would lesser immortals ever gain merit?

However, if such rules existed, then these provisions...

City Lord Yueshi and the others subconsciously looked toward the food supplies.

"Although we are not permitted to easily leverage the power of the Celestial Court, we immortals undergoing tribulation are not without ways to seek external aid," Martial Dao Shen Yu said slowly. "The great tribulations of different worlds vary; we lack food here and suffer from bitter cold, but other worlds may not be the same. These provisions were borrowed from another world. Mutual assistance between immortals undergoing tribulation is within the rules!"

With this, all the rules were clearly presented in a way this world could understand!

It was not that Martial Dao Shen Yu wished to be mysterious, but rather a matter of cognitive differences.

In this era, perhaps a small number of people could understand the existence of a "Multidimensional Doomsday Civilization Mutual Aid Association," but the majority would certainly be left in utter confusion, not knowing what it meant.

Conversely, speaking of immortals and a Celestial Court was far more acceptable.

It allowed for rapid diffusion, dissemination, and the establishment of a clear understanding.

The key was that he could not fabricate things wantonly.

Since the Multidimensional Doomsday Civilization Mutual Aid Association had been established, certain matters had to be standardized—this was beneficial to every world, for one.

Secondly, the high-end combat power of the martial arts world was also an important resource for this world.

Perhaps there would come a time when it was necessary to consume gray mist to transport these martial arts experts to other worlds to provide military support.

If the fiction were too outlandish, it would only create trouble later on.

Therefore, everything Martial Dao Shen Yu said now was merely a description of the Multidimensional Doomsday Civilization Mutual Aid Association in a way that the people of this world could quickly grasp.

Even if some of them traveled to other worlds in the future and gained more knowledge, they would not be able to say that what he said was false.

Who could say the Association was not the Supreme Celestial Court?

And who could say the Gray Mist Walkers were not immortals?

He had even specifically said "cannot easily utilize" rather than "cannot at all."

As long as there was sufficient gray mist, what difficulty was there in manifesting the majesty of the Celestial Court?

At this point, everyone finally knew everything and understood everything. They looked at one another; every single person was excited, joyful, and even unable to control the trembling of their bodies.

It was as if a vast, boundless world, previously unimaginable, was slowly unfolding before their eyes!

Their entire beings felt elevated.

Looking back at everything they had struggled with, feared, and worried about, it all felt trivial.

It was merely a great worldly tribulation.

In the infinite heavens, there were countless worlds just like theirs!

If immortals had descended to face the tribulation, what was there to fear?

Their states of mind had been completely transformed.

However, regardless of anything else, they had to return to the present. Once his surging emotions had calmed, City Lord Yueshi immediately realized the most important matter at hand.

"What is the origin of the great tribulation of our world? To what extent will it evolve?" he asked aloud.

Yes, this was something they had thought about before but did not understand.

The sun had dimmed, the cold winter would not recede; the people only knew this was a great disaster, but they did not know how long it would last or when it would end.

Now that an immortal had descended, it was only natural to ask.

However, faced with this question, Martial Dao Shen Yu’s expression turned solemn.

"I do not yet know the full extent of the cause of this great tribulation; I only know it originated from the sun. However, for a tribulation great enough to require an immortal to descend, if there is no immortal to save the world, there can be only one outcome—all things wither, vitality is severed, and no one shall be spared!"
