"Plop!"
Mukai's legs went weak, and he directly knelt on the ground.
"Immortal, spare me... Immortal, spare me..."
"I shouldn't have brought people here to disturb your peaceful cultivation..."
"Please have mercy and spare me this once..."
Earlier, he might have still been somewhat hopeful.
After all, getting struck by lightning might not necessarily be divine retribution; it could just be plain bad luck.
But when the dark clouds writhed into words, it became the last straw.
This is a miracle!
There really are immortals in Shangqing Tao!
Mukai was so frightened that his legs went limp, and his heart pounded so hard it seemed like it would leap out of his throat.
So, he knelt on the spot without hesitation.
At this moment, what dignity is there to speak of?
An honorable man knows when to yield or stretch, and in front of an immortal, preserving one's life is most important!
The viewers in the livestream couldn't help but burst into laughter seeing his cowardly appearance.
"Damn, this streamer kneels so fast!"
"Yeah, at least show some restraint!"
"Nonsense, if it were you and you offended an immortal, you'd kneel faster than the streamer."
"When it's time to be cowardly, be cowardly! If you're not convinced, just wait for an immortal to strike you with lightning; it will scare you to death!"
"Those who are not convinced are lying on the ground now."
"Western-style Wei Junjie!"
"Who would have thought there truly are immortals in Shangqing Tao? Tomorrow the whole country is going to know!"
"Is the government going to send someone to investigate? Shangqing Tao attributed it to coincidence before, what about now?"
"Look at Taoist Xuanming's bewildered expression, like he didn't know there was an immortal in his own temple."
"This Taoist's acting is quite good, he's really convincing!"
After Mukai knelt, the two cameramen nearby also weakened in their knees and knelt together.
Though they're just filming, they're associated with Abe, Mukai, and others, so what if the immortal holds them accountable?
So, better to kneel early!
After the cloud text disappeared, the dark clouds quickly scattered.
The long-lost sunlight once again shone on everyone's faces.
From the time Abe and others were struck by lightning, to the dark clouds forming words, and then everything returning to normal...
The entire process only lasted for two or three minutes.
But in such a short time, it made everyone feel as if a lifetime had passed.
Xuanming, regaining his senses, still couldn't hide the shock on his face.
Since when did Shangqing Tao have immortals?
He's been here for over fifty years, and he didn't know anything about it!
"Everyone, don't misunderstand, this is just some optical phenomenon..."
Xuanming instinctively wanted to dispel the rumors.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, everyone on the scene turned their gaze towards Xuanming.
In their eyes, there was a hint of disdain and a touch of scorn.
Optical phenomenon?
Are you burning newspapers for the ghosts?
"Ahem..."
Xuanming's old face turned red, and he quickly pretended to cough.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Abe and others lying on the ground, and immediately changed the subject: "Everyone, let's call emergency services for these foreign friends."
"If treatment is delayed, it'll be bad!"
Smoothly exiting the scene, quietly holding the name!
Lu Heng, the mastermind behind all this, pinched his junior sister's cheek and smiled, "Let's go, there's nothing more to see."
"Let's go back and drink tea!"
Qingyue swallowed hard but resolutely shook her head: "No, I'm not going!"
"I want to find an immortal!"
"I want to learn spells!"
...
As Abe and others were taken away by the ambulance, the scenes at Dragon Tiger Mountain came to a temporary pause.
But online, the real show had just begun.
As netizens uploaded clips and livestream segments from the scene, the entire internet experienced a massive shock!
The words "Shangqing Tao," within just half an hour, shot straight to the top of the trending searches on all major platforms.
There was no one who could displace it!
On some platforms, "Shangqing Tao" dominated the top ten trending topics by itself.
All those celebrities didn't even stand a chance.
"There are really immortals in Shangqing Tao!"
"Small Days attempted to challenge Shangqing Tao and suffered divine retribution!"
"First struck by lightning, then cloud text appeared, finally the immortals from Shangqing Tao showed up!"
"Island Yin Yang Master defeated, Shangqing Tao displays our national pride!"
"Popular science on how to qualify to apprentice at Shangqing Tao."
"With immortals appearing at Shangqing Tao, are other temples and Taoist halls far behind?"
Topics like these dominated the trending boards on all major platforms.
The entire network trembled at this moment.
Netizens were all dumbfounded.
There had been discussions about immortals appearing in Shangqing Tao.
But no one had taken it seriously.
After all, this is the 21st century, even Mars has been explored, who still believes in immortals?
Everyone discussed it just for fun.
But no one anticipated that this comedic situation would actually become true!
The Island Yin Yang Master went to Dragon Tiger Mountain's Shangqing Tao, only to be struck by an immortal with lightning, and even warned by cloud text.
This nebulous affair turned real!
This is just too outrageous!
Of course, many netizens expressed skepticism.
Could it be staged acting?
Could it be computer effects?
Having such questions is actually quite normal.
After all, not everyone would immediately believe news of an immortal revelation.
But after everyone watched the live video, they were completely stupefied.
Their entire worldview, refreshed!
Turns out there really are damn immortals in this world!
In the Super Topic on "Shangqing Tao" on Weibo, netizens were going wild.
"Boo hoo... Never thought I'd witness an immortal appearance in my lifetime, it's truly not in vain!"
"I'm dying of laughter, those Islanders still dared to challenge Shangqing Tao, pity they weren't struck dead."
"Even funnier was that sham streamer, who immediately knelt and begged for mercy."
"No kidding, with that kind of scene, not peeing oneself already makes you quite a man."
"I want to go to Shangqing Tao! I want to be a Taoist! I want to cultivate immortality!"
"Heh! You think Shangqing Tao accepts just any trash? At least you must be a chosen one like me!"
"I want to know if that immortal needs a child by their side?"
"The humble self still lacks a Flute-Blowing Boy, is the young friend interested?"
"Do you think anyone will dare challenge Shangqing Tao again?"
"Probably no one dares now, unless they're tired of living?"
"Not necessarily, if I max out my thunder attribute resistance, wouldn't I not fear the strikes?"
"Damn! Bro, where can I find this attribute panel, why can't I see it?"
"Urgent! At twenty-eight, still haven't unlocked the attribute panel, is this normal?"
"Why are you all still mortals? I've already formed my Golden Core!"
"Diarrhea! Currently on Shu Mountain, just got off the Flying Sword, Nascent Soul achieved, with millions in the harem…"
Not only were the netizens stunned, but even the Dragon Country's government was shell-shocked.
They had investigated every major Taoist temple and Buddhist temple in the country.
Not to mention immortals, they didn't even find any cultivators.
At most, there were a few with good physical fitness, but that was due to martial arts, just long-term exercise.
Thus, the government held an emergency meeting overnight...
