Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 437 - 436 Emperor’s Sword
Having listened to Tianyang's analysis, Ming Yue Immortal nodded in agreement and said with a cold laugh, "It's laughable that Li Xiuzhu actually believes he has a chance, and Zhou Bai, that clown, has people everywhere boosting his profile, thinking he's truly become the favored child of heaven.
Little do they know, we simply can't be bothered to divert our energy to deal with them, letting them barely cling to life."
Tianyang: "You shouldn't completely dismiss them, especially Zhou Bai; he does have some ability.
Moreover, this time we are hosting the discussion of Dao in Daluo Heaven, we cannot take action ourselves, we can only have the chosen human participants join, so we must be even more cautious."
A gleam flickered in Ming Yue Immortal's eyes: "The discussion of Dao in Daluo Heaven, huh."
The discussion of Dao in Daluo Heaven, has always been organized by the immortals of the Heavenly Court for thousands of years.
Sitting within the bounds of Daluo Heaven in the Heavenly Court, the participants have always been the youthful talents among the human cultivators. To emerge victorious in the discussion would merit a commendation from the immortals, it is a grand event specifically aimed at encouraging young human cultivators, and is also the highest honor for generations of young cultivators.
However, since the Heavenly Dao twisted, the discussion of Dao in Daluo Heaven has not been held.
Ming Yue Immortal knew that this time Wanxian Island intended to host the long-unheld discussion of Dao in Daluo Heaven, on the one hand to force the true child of human fortune to emerge, and on the other hand to allow the human talents they chose to share in the human race's fortune, even potentially replacing the position of the child of fortune.
The theory of fortune not only involves one's predetermined destiny, the most important aspects are prestige and righteousness.
Tianyang spoke, "The power of prestige and righteousness is unimaginable because most people believe in prestige; they believe in righteousness. Once everyone believes in the same thing, it becomes the unified will of the masses; the so-called 'The one who wins the people wins the world,' and 'The pointed finger that receives no objection is rooted in this principle.'"
Tianyang: "The more grandly we host this discussion of Dao in Daluo Heaven, and the more participants there are, the heavier the associated prestige and righteousness will become.
If a Daoist can manage to defeat all the talents from the Four Great Taoist Schools, the armies, the sects, and the Immortal God races during this discussion.
Defeat all his contemporaries.
Recognized by the four right gods, commended by the immortals, and jointly acknowledged by the elders of the four great sects, then his reputation and fame will have reached a peak, becoming the acknowledged number one person of the generation.
Even if he wasn't originally the child of fortune, the whole world will come to believe he is, and so he will be.
Holding prestige and righteousness, whatever he does will be supported by most of humanity, and thus fortune will naturally gather upon him. The so-called 'When fortune arrives, the world unites in effort' speaks to this principle."
Ming Yue Immortal said, "The key is to involve all of humanity."
Tianyang smiled, "Rest assured, they will certainly bite the bait. Three months from now, whether he shows up himself or is determined through the discussion, that will be the moment the child of human fortune emerges."
While speaking, a sword light burst forth from Tianyang's sleeve: "This is the reward for the winner of the discussion."
Ming Yue Immortal glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise, "The Emperor Sword?"

After Zhou Bai returned to West Mountain City, he rushed into his training room, only to find it completely empty, neither his physical body nor Christina were there.
"What the hell, where has that stupid cat gone off to wander now?"
Zhou Bai frowned and could only dart out again, dodging and hiding while searching for Christina's whereabouts.
Upon inquiring along the way, he swiftly found a clue to Christina's location, overhearing several youths running and saying, "Hurry to the number 15 training ground, it's said that Daniel Wu and a fifth-year from Dao School have come to blows."
"Daniel Wu again? How many people has he challenged by now?"
Zhou Bai felt a sink in his heart, "This silly cat, making a mess with my body?"
He quickly rushed to the so-called Practice Area No. 15 and saw Christina controlling his own body, sparring with a young cultivator on the fighting stage.
What caught Zhou Bai's attention even more was the fact that Christina had obviously put on a Transforming Mask over his own body, shaping it into the appearance Zhou Bai had once used to impersonate Daniel Wu.
"Use your full strength," Christina taunted, "otherwise such attacks don't even qualify to make me dodge."
Christina lay on the ground while the young cultivator's sword kept clashing against her, making metallic sounds.
Then, with a pounce, Christina knocked down her opponent and started tearing at the young cultivator's head, causing him to cry out in pain, shouting, "I surrender! I surrender!"
Christina burst into laughter, "Hahaha, I, Christina... Daniel Wu, the thing I love most is telling you self-righteous guys 'no.'" Despite the opponent's surrender, she continued to scratch his face, drawing lines of blood.
Zhou Bai, watching his own body do all these things, felt so embarrassed that he got goosebumps, lamenting to himself, "This silly cat, Christina, has absolutely no talent for showing off, yet she insists on doing so. However, she did memorize what I said before and put in a lot of effort."
He hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Christina! Get down here. Go back to the practice room immediately."
"Zhou Bai?" Christina shuddered and quickly got up from the stage, ignoring the shouts from the audience, she hit the ground on all fours and dashed away, disappearing in an instant.
When she returned to the practice room, Christina couldn't help but boast, beating her chest, "How about that, Zhou Bai? I've given you a lot of face just now, right?"
Zhou Bai scolded, "Given face my ass, you've changed the entire face." He secretly thought, 'Thank goodness she was considerate enough to swap my face out.'
He immediately dispelled the effects of the slacking off and regained control of his body.
Christina retreated back into the Primordial Spirit, sneering inwardly, 'Hmph, when showing off, of course you need a handsome face; it's much more effective.'
As Zhou Bai looked like he was about to lecture her, Christina quickly changed the subject, "By the way, my Taoist conversion is at 35% now, and I remembered something else. At the very beginning, I think I was really just a cat."
"Oh?" Zhou Bai's eyes lit up upon hearing this; he was indeed concerned about Christina's past, "What else have you remembered?"
Christina said, "I remembered that I used to be a cat demon and that it took me over a hundred years to cultivate a human form."
Zhou Bai nodded in admiration, "It took that long? It seems that it's really difficult and laborious for monsters to cultivate a human form."
Christina swung her tail and said, "Actually, it wasn't too bad; I could have transformed in one year."
Zhou Bai expressed confusion, "Then why did it take so long?"
Christina reminisced, "I spent over a hundred years sculpting my face to make it beautiful. I think I suffered a lot, going to see beauties in all different places, and I was nearly killed several times. It wasn't easy at all."
Zhou Bai rolled his eyes, not bothering with this silly cat any longer. Instead, he sat cross-legged, stroking his chin, staring at the cultivation assistance system panel, contemplating his next steps in cultivation.
But as he caressed his chin, Zhou Bai exclaimed, "The work on the skin is not bad, huh? Has this face been optimized?"
"That it has!" Christina said, "Looking handsome adds to the presence! Being handsome means you're showing off, but if you're ugly, even if you win, you're just a bully."
"That's an interesting point," Zhou Bai said, touching his own face, and suddenly a new idea sparked in his eyes.
