Eternal Thought.

Summary

In the grand hall of Jingzhou City, ten demigods remained silent and fearful as Ling Jiu Tian Zun struggled with his anger towards Bai Xiao Chun, who was manipulating events to his advantage. Ling Jiu felt disgusted by Bai Xiao Chun’s schemes but ultimately suppressed his rage and left without a clear response. Soon after, Ling Jiu issued a decree to double the salaries of officials in the Second Immortal Domain, which sparked excitement among cultivators who recognized it as part of a power struggle between the two Celestial Venerables. This shift began to elevate Bai Xiao Chun’s reputation, making him a rival to Ling Jiu in the eyes of the public. Ling Jiu, initially dismissive of Bai Xiao Chun, began to see him as an equal after the latter's clever tactics. Despite their ongoing tension, Ling Jiu sought a compromise and visited Bai Xiao Chun in secret, but left without a resolution. Over time, the rivalry intensified, culminating in a demigod's resignation due to Bai Xiao Chun's manipulations within the ranks. Enraged, Ling Jiu ordered an army to invade the northern part of the Immortal Domain, leading to widespread panic among the demigods. In response, Bai Xiao Chun erupted in fury, confronting Ling Jiu directly, resulting in a fierce clash between the two Celestial Venerables that threatened to engulf the city in chaos.
