Not only did the three retreat in succession, but even the fathers of these three immediately rushed over.
Liu Luo, Wan Honghe, and Sui Potian, upon hearing that this peculiar old man was going to take their children away, how could they bear it? They immediately rushed over, protecting their children, and looked at Heavenly Venerate vigilantly.
These three were all the sole heirs of their families. If anything were to happen to them, how could they live?
Seeing this, Heavenly Calculator immediately urged anxiously,
"What are you doing? This is a tremendous opportunity. You will never become an immortal by cultivating in the Thunderwind Realm your entire lives. We will go to the Immortal Realm and follow my master. The resources there are far greater than here, and becoming an immortal is not impossible.
This kind of opportunity, even Wan Lei has to risk his life to obtain it. Why are you refusing it when it falls into your hands?
Besides, is there any need for my master to deceive you? If he wants to forcibly take you away, can you resist him?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Liuchuan and the others hesitated. This opportunity was indeed too enticing.
Of course, mainly because they had never been to the Immortal Realm and did not know what the Five Elements Hall and Heavenly Venerate meant in the Immortal Realm. Even after hearing it from the old man, they were still half-believing.
After all, they had always lived in a small place like the Thunderwind Realm. Even though the Thunder Emperor Hall, which they joined, was the strongest force in the Thunderwind Realm, their vision and perspective had not improved.
If Wan Lei were here, he would probably agree without hesitation.
Seeing this, Heavenly Venerate was not angry. Instead, he spoke frankly,
"It seems you still don't trust this old man. Well, that's only natural. The cultivation world is full of deceit, cunning, and bloodshed. It's normal to be a little cautious.
Then this old man will find someone you know to speak.
If you don't listen to this old man, will you obey the decree of your Thunder Emperor?"
"Thunder Emperor's decree?"
Everyone was stunned. Just as they were about to say that Wan Lei had already left and had not left any decree,
Suddenly, a stream of light appeared in Heavenly Venerate's hand, and it floated into mid-air, forming a light screen.
"Come, let us invite the Hall Master of the Thunder Hall of the Five Elements Hall, the Thunder Sage Wan Qingyi, who is known for not changing his clothes for fifty thousand years."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately stirred.
"What? Wan Qingyi? Thunder Emperor Ancestor?"
"He is talking about our generation's Thunder Emperor?"
"Is Ancestor Qingyi still alive? Then why hasn't he returned to the Thunderwind Realm all these years?"
"What is his current cultivation?"
Everyone discussed noisily. Heavenly Venerate smiled slightly and explained,
"You will know what he has been busy with these past years if you look."
As Heavenly Venerate's voice faded, the light screen in the sky showed a scene.
It was a vast and boundless ocean of yellow earth. Above the ocean, there were countless cultivators and flying ships, and their enemies were the overwhelming demon race, engaging in fierce combat.
The number of cultivators and demons was endless. Even the light screen could not fully display it. Everyone could only see the boundless armies of both sides. In just this short while, countless people had died on the battlefield.
The intensity and scale of this army...
The war between the Thunder Emperor Alliance and the Demon Race in the Thunderwind Realm was like children playing house compared to that scene.
Suddenly, a figure appeared abruptly in the scene.
The figure emerged from the demon army, surrounded by thunder, transforming into an ocean of lightning. Each bolt of lightning exuded a world-destroying aura. Wherever he passed, the demon army suffered heavy casualties, and corpses fell like dumplings into the yellow earth ocean.
As the figure charged from the demon army towards the army of the prime plane, the crowd could see clearly when they got closer. Behind his head were three radiant suns, emitting a majestic and supreme aura.
This person was dressed in a blue robe, with starry eyebrows and sword-like eyes, his appearance handsome yet carrying a stern and murderous aura.
Upon seeing this, the people of the Thunderwind Realm became excited. They had never seen the Thunder Emperor Ancestor, but they had worshipped his statue countless times. Therefore, they were naturally familiar with his appearance.
This person was the one who founded the Thunder Emperor Hall fifty thousand years ago and ascended to the Immortal Realm...
Thunder Emperor Wan Qingyi!!!
"What is it, Heavenly Venerate? What do you need me for?"
As Wan Qingyi approached the projection, the three radiant suns also retracted into his眉心.
"Do you remember where this is?"
Heavenly Venerate said with a chuckle.
Wan Qingyi looked at everyone through the projection, then frowned,
"This is my Thunder Emperor Hall? Did you go to the Thunderwind Realm? Why has the Thunderwind Realm become so weak? Only a few tribulation-crossing cultivators? Truly, each generation is worse than the last."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a little ashamed, but also a little indignant.
If it weren't for the great war and the severe internal strife in the Thunderwind Realm, how could there only be a few tribulation-crossers left?
"I called you here not for you to blame others. I want to take a few descendants from your hometown to cultivate in the Five Elements Hall. They don't believe me, so I've invited you to bear witness."
"It is their good fortune to go to the Five Elements Hall. Why are you unwilling? Everyone in the Immortal Realm wants to enter the Five Elements Hall, but how many can get in?
Take whoever you fancy directly, and if they are disobedient, arrest them.
I am busy here. This time, the Respectful Sage Demon Emperor has made a desperate effort for a general offensive. I don't know what possessed him, but he was muttering that our prime plane had cheated his subordinates. I don't know what's going on, he's crazy."
After Wan Qingyi finished speaking, he immediately charged back into the battlefield, not even giving the people of the Thunderwind Realm time to speak, which showed how busy he was.
Regarding the matter of cheating the subordinates of the Respectful Sage Demon Emperor, Wan Qingyi did not know that the instigator had already gone to the Immortal Realm.
After meeting Wan Qingyi, everyone's hearts were filled with emotion, and they also believed Heavenly Venerate's words.
Sui Xiaohang and the other two immediately stepped forward, expressing their desire to go with the Immortal Venerate.
"That... Senior, this junior is very eager to go to the Immortal Realm with you, to serve the Five Elements Hall and fight against the demons. It's just, can you... can I bring my family with me..."
Sui Xiaohang stammered, tightly holding Feng Silu's small hand.
Feng Silu also widened her eyes, looking at Heavenly Venerate earnestly.
"Alright, you can only bring one."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo pulled Ba'er Nu and ran out, smiling obsequiously,
"Senior, this junior and Wan Lei are close friends and are among the top prodigies in the Central Region. Although my aptitude is poor and you old man might not look highly upon it, please take me with you. I only wish to go to the Immortal Realm, and I don't ask for anything else. I just want to see our Thunder Emperor Ancestor and kill a few more demons."
"Hmph, you smooth talker. Then come along."
Heavenly Venerate was in a good mood today and immediately agreed to Qian Duoduo's request.
Although others also wanted to go to the Immortal Realm, they were not as thick-skinned and knew their own capabilities, so they did not speak up.
Heavenly Venerate flung open a spatial passageway, flicked his sleeve, and left the Thunderwind Realm with the eight of them.
