Chapter 51 Departure from the Dragon Nest!
Jiang Yu felt both excited and nervous as she watched the rapidly scrolling comments and the ever-increasing number of online viewers in the live stream.
Three hundred thousand people.
She never imagined that so many people would be online in her live stream.
Moreover, the numbers are still rising, and it seems only a matter of time before they break through 500,000.
But she couldn't think about the data at that moment, because her attention was entirely focused on what was about to happen.
It was originally just a personal problem she encountered—a foolish monk tried to capture her, and Sister Long Li killed the monk to protect her.
She thought the matter was over and done with, and that she could just be more careful in the future.
Unexpectedly, it has now evolved into a clash between two major forces.
Buddhist temple, the nest of ten thousand dragons.
One is a contemporary religion that has the potential to give birth to a new ancient emperor, and the other is an ancient royal family with profound heritage.
If these two companies really fight, the commotion will definitely be huge.
And all of this started because of her.
Jiang Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the complex emotions in her heart.
As she looked at the comments in the live chat supporting her, supporting Long Li, and criticizing Buddhism for being unreasonable, the inner turmoil gradually dissipated.
The enemy is the enemy.
That monk wanted to capture her and harm her; he deserved to die.
The Buddhist community is not a good thing for interrogating people without asking questions.
She's now hoping those bald monks will suffer, and she's hoping her brother will teach them a lesson.
As for whether the Buddhist community will hold a grudge against her or retaliate—she has her older brother with her, what is there to be afraid of?
Just then, a new wave of comments flooded the screen, interrupting her thoughts.
"Hey streamer! Stop focusing on the fight! Help us ask His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor how to cultivate!"
"That's right! We've been practicing the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, but we haven't felt anything at all! We can't open up the sea of suffering at all!"
"Did we practice incorrectly? Or does Earth truly lack spiritual energy?"
"We beg the Heavenly Emperor for mercy! Grant us the methods of cultivation! We also wish to cultivate immortality!"
"Sister Yu, you are the hope of our planet! Please ask her for us!"
Looking at these comments filled with longing and anxiety, Jiang Yu felt a little uneasy.
She could understand the feelings of these "fellow villagers".
It must be unpleasant to see a completely new world full of infinite possibilities right in front of you, and to have the skills to achieve extraordinary things, yet be unable to make any progress due to environmental limitations.
She herself found it strange.
Why was she able to open the Sea of Bitterness so quickly? Although her cultivation speed couldn't compare to those geniuses in the Heavenly Court, it was still quite good.
But it seems that the vast majority of the billions of compatriots on Earth are truly unable to even get started.
What exactly is the key difference? Is it simply because of Originium and spiritual energy? Or is there some other reason?
She spoke earnestly to the camera, "Everyone, please don't worry. My brother... His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor definitely knows about the cultivation matter."
"I asked him about cultivation on Earth before, and he said he would find a way."
"Don't worry, everyone. Since he's my brother, he definitely won't abandon us."
"Once this matter is resolved, I will definitely question him thoroughly and give everyone an explanation!"
She spoke very skillfully, giving the audience hope while shifting the blame to Jiang Feng, and also making it seem like they had a deep sibling bond.
Sure enough, the live chat erupted in cheers.
"Long live Sister Yu! Long live His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"I knew the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't abandon us!"
"Waiting for the Heavenly Emperor to impart the Dharma! I'll sell my entire fortune to learn it!"
"The anchor keeps their word! We're all watching!"
"With Sister Yu's words, I feel relieved!"
Following this conversation and promise, the number of online users surged again, almost breaking the 500,000 mark and heading towards one million.
This number is already phenomenal in the world of live streaming on Earth, not to mention the shocking content of the live stream.
Then, some knowledgeable viewers began to discuss deeper issues.
"By the way, in that world, was the Heavenly Emperor the strongest person? He probably was, right? He even killed the Immortal Emperor."
"Not necessarily, right? I remember that General Chuan Ying, or rather, Sister Dragon Girl, mentioned that there are 'immortals' above him!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Immortals! Isn't the ultimate goal of cultivating immortality to become an immortal?"
"Although the Heavenly Emperor is strong, he's not an immortal after all, right? There must be even more powerful beings above him."
"Now that you mention it... won't the Heavenly Emperor's direct confrontation with Buddhism for the sake of his sister and wife offend some even more terrifying being? Like a Bodhisattva or Buddha? Isn't that how it's always written in novels?"
"Don't jinx it! But...it does make some sense?"
"Sister Yu, you must persuade His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor to think twice before acting! Don't let him fall into someone else's trap!"
"Exactly! Don't let a moment of impulse ruin your brother's life!"
These comments made Jiang Yu's heart skip a beat.
Immortal? A higher level of existence? She had indeed vaguely heard Chuan Ying and Long Li mention that the Undying Emperor pursued immortality, which seemed to be his desire to become an immortal.
Could there really be an "immortal" even stronger than my brother? Is there really a so-called "Buddha" behind Buddhism?
She felt a little uneasy and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Feng, who had been silent beside her, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.
She didn't want to ask these questions now, for fear of disturbing her brother's peace of mind.
But when she saw Jiang Feng's calm and composed profile, as if he had everything under control, her unease quickly dissipated.
My brother always acts with discretion. If he dares to go, he must be confident.
She decided to change the subject and distract herself and the audience.
She pointed her phone camera at the magnificent scenery of the core area of the Heavenly Court again, especially the divine beasts that flew and danced among the auspicious clouds.
"Look everyone! This is my brother's 'backyard'!"
"Look at this dragon! This phoenix! This qilin! And over there, do you see that big white tiger? It even has the character 'king' on its forehead!"
"My God, it's like walking into a mythical zoo!"
She deliberately used an exaggerated tone to introduce the topic, trying to create a relaxed atmosphere.
The viewers in the live stream were indeed shocked by this unprecedented sight once again.
"Holy crap! It really is a dragon! Alive! And it can fly!"
"A phoenix! So colorful! It's so beautiful!"
"A Qilin! What an auspicious sign! My life has been worthwhile!"
"Is this the world of cultivation? I'm in love!"
"Stop talking, I'm already dreaming."
"Sister Yu, could you ask the Heavenly Emperor if he needs any more mounts? I can do anything!"
"You're dreaming."
However, just as the audience was engrossed in "cloud-absorbing divine beasts," Jiang Feng, who had been standing still, slowly opened his eyes.
He glanced at the distant horizon, then at Jiang Yu who was still excitedly explaining, and said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and gently grasped Jiang Yu's wrist.
The next moment, Jiang Yu felt a blur before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery instantly distorted and stretched, turning into countless flowing, colorful lines.
Before she could even scream, she discovered that she and her brother were no longer under the magnificent pillars of the Heavenly Court.
The live stream screen shook violently and became blurry, as if the signal was being severely interfered with, but it quickly stabilized again.
The scene that was presented made all the viewers, including Jiang Yu herself, gasp in shock.
The scene in the lens is no longer a specific landscape, but an endless, deep, dark void of space.
There is no earth beneath your feet, no sky above your head, only the twinkling, cold or fiery stars in the infinite distance.
And they are "moving" through this sea of stars at an incomprehensible speed.
No, it's not moving; it's more like the surrounding starry sky is automatically receding backward.
Giant stars were stretched into dazzling ribbons of light at the edge of the lens, flashing past at high speed.
Occasionally, one can see enormous nebulae, broken star rings, or even the distorted light at the edge of a black hole that devours everything.
