"You guys are already quite old now, why don't you be so conservative? Enjoy life to the fullest when it's your turn, and don't let your golden cup face the moon empty. I think this saying makes a lot of sense."

"Can you guarantee that you will be able to successfully transcend the tribulation? I can't. Over the past ten thousand years, there have been over a hundred people in our Luofu Holy Land who have reached the Mahayana stage, but only a dozen or so have successfully transcended the tribulation and ascended to the upper realms. The others have either become immortals and retreated to protect the sect, or died, their spiritual wisdom wiped out, and fallen into the cycle of reincarnation."

"My senior brother, Du Nan, began his death-defying retreat 500 years ago and never left his cave for 500 years. He thought he was fully prepared, but 20 years ago, when he was going through the tribulation, his inner demon attacked him and he was reduced to ash before my eyes. At that time, I wondered what the point of cultivating immortality was. Was it just a chance of one in ten?"

As he spoke, Venerable Du'e poured himself another glass of wine, tilted his head back and drank the whole glass, with an unconcealable sadness on his face.

When everyone heard what he said, they couldn't help but look at each other. It was obvious that they had the same experience.

The situation in the eight holy places is basically the same. Once a disciple is promoted to Mahayana, he will basically enter the sect's ancestral land and begin to retreat in seclusion to prepare for the tribulation. Generally, only one or two Mahayana cultivators will be left outside to preside over the work.

Although it was not said openly, they all knew that the reason they were left outside was because they had the worst qualifications and the lowest probability of surviving the heavenly tribulation. Leaving the sect's mundane affairs to them was the most beneficial to the sect's development.

Because of this, their already slim chances of ascension became even lower. The probability of others successfully ascending was one in ten, while theirs was one in a hundred, which basically meant certain death.

Thinking of this, the atmosphere in the cave became even weirder.

But at this moment, Venerable Du'e raised his glass again.

"Drink today and worry about tomorrow! Don't think too much. With our level, even if we don't practice, we can still live for at least a few thousand more years. During these thousands of years, we can do whatever we want. We just need to follow our own hearts. Even if we die, we must leave no regrets."

"Come! Let's drink this cup together!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the dozen or so Mahayana monks present raised their glasses together.

As the wine flowed, a bottle of Five Spirit Liquid was finished. Seeing this, Venerable Du'e took out his mobile phone and opened Douyin.

"Aren't you curious about where this wine and this sofa came from? Today I'll open your eyes. Take a look."

Hearing these words, the dozen or so Mahayana masters present immediately gathered around him, looking at his phone screen with curiosity.

Venerable Du'e originally wanted to buy a few bottles of wine from the official store of Sihai Pavilion to continue drinking, but as soon as he opened his Douyin app, a beautiful female cultivator dancing passionately appeared on the screen.

Embarrassed, he quickly swiped the screen, but after swiping through more than a dozen videos, the content of the videos that appeared were all borderline types.

The atmosphere at the scene became visibly more awkward.

"This is my boy's phone. He loves to read these kinds of messy and decadent things. Please don't mind."

"Forget it, I'll just buy a new phone."

While explaining, Venerable Du'e found the official store of Sihai Pavilion through search and placed an order to buy a new mobile phone.

At this time, another Mahayana master suddenly spoke:

"Brother Du'e, since you've already bought a new phone, why don't you give me your old one?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Venerable Du'e quickly refused.

"No, no, no, this phone is not mine. I only have the right to use it. If Brother Benlei wants it, I will buy you a new one."
