Chapter 578: Chapter 577: Believe or Not, Bet or Not

"Dad? Dad?" Hearing no reply, Chu Qing called out a couple more times.

Chu Qing’s father finally snapped out of it. "Ah, I’m here."

"Dad, are you finding the entrance requirement a little difficult?" Chu Qing asked.

"Ah... yeah." The first thing on Chu Qing’s father’s mind was whether this was all some kind of prank.

But this entrance requirement was a major hurdle. Otherwise, there would be no harm in taking a look inside. What if it was real, after all?

Just then, Chu Qing said sweetly, "Dad, go over to the door and put your phone on speaker."

Chu Qing’s father didn’t understand why, but he quickly walked over to the Door Spirit.

The Door Spirit still had the words "Call me Dad" written on it.

"Are you there?" Chu Qing asked.

Chu Qing’s father nodded. "Mhm."

"Dad," Chu Qing said.

Chu Qing’s father was about to respond when a beam of light shot out and struck him. He was qualified.

Chu Qing’s father was stunned.

It wasn’t because of the trick; it was because his daughter was so thoughtful.

’She’s truly my sweet, caring daughter,’ he thought. ’So thoughtful, clever, and sensible.’

Chu Qing’s father was deeply moved.

"Can you get in now, Dad?" Chu Qing asked.

Chu Qing’s father immediately turned off speakerphone. "Yeah, I can."

"Okay, I’m hanging up now. Sister Yiyi needs her phone back," Chu Qing said sweetly.

"You two be careful," Chu Qing’s father said.

Then he hung up.

The Door Spirit looked utterly constipated. "I feel like I’ve heard that one before. No! You’re cheating."

Chu Qing’s father smiled. "Pardon me."

Then, Chu Qing’s father walked straight in.

As expected, the Door Spirit didn’t block him in the slightest.

The other Tier Five and Tier Six Demon Cultivators watched, dumbfounded.

’That’s allowed?’

’You should’ve said so earlier!’

They immediately started making phone calls. As high-ranking figures, how hard could it be to find someone to call them "Dad"?

For example, one female Demon Cultivator called her disciple. "Quick, call me Dad."

The disciple was completely bewildered. "Mom?"

The female Demon Cultivator was furious. "Call me Dad."

The disciple said helplessly, "Dad."

The female Demon Cultivator hung up, satisfied, leaving her disciple on the other end utterly bewildered.

’Am I my master’s illegitimate son?’

’And my master is actually a man?’

’This is way too much to process.’

’Alright, I should stop daydreaming and focus on my Cultivation.’

However, even after being called "Dad," the female Demon Cultivator still wasn’t granted entry.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Why can’t I get in? How did that guy get in?"

The Door Spirit replied, "Call me Dad."

Why would it bother explaining things to these people?

Call it "Dad" or don’t, go in or don’t—it couldn’t care less if anyone was inside.

The female Demon Cultivator said angrily, "Are you looking down on Demon Cultivators?"

The Door Spirit replied, "Call me Dad."

Just then, another Demon Cultivator seemed to have a realization. "It must’ve been patched."

The female Demon Cultivator was surprised. "Patched?"

The Demon Cultivator said, "Yes, patched. The loophole was triggered, so naturally, it was patched."

Right, this Door Spirit wasn’t simple. Of course it would patch its own loopholes.

But damn, it was infuriating that guy had managed to sneak in.

"Forget it. It’s not a big deal. Let’s just wait and see what happens."

After that, the Demon Cultivators backed away again. They were, of course, unaware of the universal epiphany.

***

Inside, Mo Yan immediately called her master.

Master Mo Yan was dumbfounded when he answered the call. "Didn’t you go in? Isn’t there no signal inside?"

Mo Yan cut to the chase. "Master, I have something huge to tell you."

Master Mo Yan said, "Did you find some Spirit Stones?"

Mo Yan was speechless. "Master, you’ll lose me if you keep this up. Without me, who’s going to handle your funeral rites? I could even find you a spot with good Feng Shui... wait, no, I take that back.

Master, something huge has happened.

I’ve received reliable news: the Celestial Book Tomb is about to initiate a universal epiphany."

"Huh?"

Master Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, then sighed. "Did you run into a scammer? And you fell for it?"

"Master, it’s real. If you don’t believe me, ask Chi Xue Child. He’s here too," Mo Yan said.

Chi Xue Child’s voice came through. "Yes, Martial Uncle. And the full opening of the Celestial Book Tomb and the universal epiphany both came from the same person."

Master Mo Yan paused. "For real?"

"Mhm," Chi Xue Child replied.

Under normal circumstances, he would never have believed it. But the complete opening of the Celestial Book Tomb was a fact, and Mo Yan had told him about it in advance.

’So, the universal epiphany could also be real?’

After that, Master Mo Yan asked for details about the epiphany.

He received an unbelievable answer: those at Tier Six and above could gain comprehension of heaven and earth.

’How is that possible?’

If this was true, it would be enough to shake the entire Cultivation Realm.

To comprehend heaven and earth... This was the last hope for countless cultivators nearing the end of their lives. How many would give anything for such a chance?

"Master, is this news worth a Seventh Grade stone?" Mo Yan suddenly asked.

Master Mo Yan said, "If it’s real, I’ll give you a Ninth Grade."

After that, Master Mo Yan hung up.

The news had a certain possibility, a ring of truth to it.

But... it was too incredible.

He looked to Elder Chen at his side. "What do you think?"

Elder Chen laughed. "Sometimes, a person needs to be a bit reckless. The worst that can happen is a little embarrassment."

Master Mo Yan nodded, then made another call. "You old fossil, isn’t your time almost up?

Do you trust me? Dare to take a gamble?

There’s a chance to comprehend heaven and earth.

Want to bet on it?

Yes, it’s completely unbelievable. It even sounds fake the moment you hear it."

The person on the other end was silent for a moment before saying, "The fact that you’re calling me must mean it has some credibility, right?"

"The Celestial Book Tomb has opened completely. I received news of it beforehand, but I didn’t believe it.

Now I’ve received a second piece of news: the Celestial Book Tomb will grant a universal epiphany, and those Tier Six and above can comprehend heaven and earth.

The source is the same person for both," Master Mo Yan stated truthfully.

Then, the person on the other end laughed. "I owe you for this one."

The credibility of this was very high, then.

If he missed this, it would be the same as waiting for death. He had to go.

At this moment, this news was spreading among Demon Cultivators and Daoist Cultivators alike.

Zi Feng also received word from Chi Xue Child. Hearing it, Zi Feng was stunned.

He didn’t believe it, but he felt he had to.

After all, Chi Xue Child wasn’t the type to play pranks.

What he said was usually the truth.

So, Zi Feng went to find his master immediately.

And at that very moment, his master emerged from seclusion.

Before Zi Feng could even speak, his master said, "I am already aware. Go to the Celestial Book Tomb. Take your junior brothers and sisters with you."

"Is Master going?" Zi Feng asked.

Master Zi Feng shook his head. "I have no need of it."

Stunned for a moment, Zi Feng ultimately said nothing more.

***

Many people set out, but even more chose to ignore the news.

’This is an obvious scam. How could it possibly be real?’

’Anyone with a bit of common sense wouldn’t be fooled.’

The ones who were fooled were usually those whose time was almost up.

For the sake of a breakthrough, those people would throw caution to the wind. If it turned out to be real and they missed it, the regret would be unbearable.
