“Traces of the Immortal Dao? Could it be that the Dao Ancestor has been there?” Su Yin asked curiously.
Great Immortal Wang Chen had the same guess. The Dao Ancestor had thousands of manifestations and reincarnations. The Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm was established by the Dao Ancestor without anyone knowing.
The Celestial Emperor shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. However, from the information sent back by the Heavenly General, the traces of the Immortal Dao are very ancient, perhaps even older than the ancient orthodoxy. In any case, I have to take a look. Once I obtain the wealth of that orthodoxy, the Heavenly Court can better protect all beings.”
Chen Li stroked his beard and smiled without saying anything.
Su Yin said helplessly, “How can I refuse at this point? However, Your Majesty, why don’t you ask the Dao Ancestor?”
The Celestial Emperor shook his head and raised his cup.
Chen Li smiled and said, “If we ask the Dao Ancestor about everything, what’s the use of the Immortal Dao? Moreover, the truth is only secondary. The Heavenly Court is determined to obtain what that orthodoxy left behind. The boundless world is boundless, and its history is endless. There are too many treasures waiting for us to excavate in this void. This is also the reason why the three transcendent orthodoxies did not have a fixed location in this domain. Since the Immortal Dao cannot be moved, the Heavenly Court can only explore more.”
Great Immortal Wang Chen felt that it made sense. As one of the first people to accompany the Dao Ancestor, he also felt that the Dao Ancestor should rest. Moreover, the pressure the Dao Ancestor was facing was beyond their imagination.
Su Yin asked, “When do we take action?”
“When you are ready, you can set off at any time. You must return before the end of the Myriad Realms Battle Convention.”
The Celestial Emperor smiled. An ambitious smile surfaced on his face. He had great plans for the convention. He believed that it would be an important turning point for the Heavenly Court.
After all, the Heavenly Court had yet to truly become the Heavenly Court of the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm!
After Su Yin and Great Immortal Wang Chen agreed, they immediately went back to make preparations.
The thousand-year trip to the Earth Immortal Realm passed very quickly. After Jiang Changsheng returned to the Purple Cloud Palace, Ji Wujun and Yu Yanyi also moved to the 33rd Heavens. When the Celestial Emperor returned, he would reassign their immortal positions so that they could leave behind their responsibilities in the Heavenly Court and pursue the Immortal Dao.
Sitting on the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin, Jiang Changsheng did not cultivate immediately. Instead, he looked at the myriad realms of the Immortal Dao.
Unknowingly, the Immortal Dao had become so prosperous.
Other than the worlds occupied by the Immortal Dao, the number of worlds created and opened up by immortal cultivators had exceeded tens of millions. These were all worlds with living beings.
“The Myriad Gods Support Formation needs to be dispersed.”
Jiang Changsheng thought silently. He had left only a gap in the Myriad Gods Support Formation. For the current prosperous Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, that gap had become crowded, causing many troubles.
With a thought, the Myriad Gods Support Formation dissipated. At the same time, he asked the Heavenly Dao to inform all the Zenith Heavens about this. He believed that they would be prepared.
After doing all this, Jiang Changsheng calculated the experts in various distances. After ensuring that there were no powerful enemies, he was completely relieved.
During this seclusion, he was prepared to create a higher realm. He already had a direction in his heart. If there was no calamity of the Immortal Dao, he would stay in seclusion until he successfully created a new realm.
Before that, he had to release the Pangu clones and let them stay on the All Heavens Great Dao Tree to cultivate.
Right now, the Immortal Emperor Ascension Platform had been relocated to the Heavenly Realm created by the Heavenly Court. Only then could the Heavenly Court better record the ascenders and consolidate their order. This also made the All Heavens Great Dao Tree a holy land that no one dared to trespass.
Time passed by, and the world changed. The change of dynasties was similar to a mayfly’s life. The change of stars, racial hegemony, and sects fighting for luck also seemed short.
Every tens of thousands of years, a Zenith Heaven Immortal would be born in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. Most of the new Zenith Heaven Immortals were juniors born after the Immortal Dao became the overlord of this domain. They were born under the background of a greater luck of the Immortal Dao and constantly exceeded the limits of the talent of their predecessors. However, their predecessors would always be the target of future generations.
There would always be a predecessor and a junior.
On this day, in the Lingxiao Sect.
Empress Xiaohe was entertaining Bai Qi, accompanied by two female immortals, including the future Saint Mother Qingqiu.
“Saint Mother? I don’t think that’s a good idea. Will it offend you?” Empress Xiaohe hesitated.
Bai Qi shook the small wine pot and said, “This can also be considered as fighting for the benefits of us female immortals. Even though there are female immortals in the Heavenly Court, there are very few of them. Furthermore, there are also very few female immortals in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. Therefore, I am prepared to establish more Saint Mothers, who can enjoy my merit and luck. However, their duty is to save the suffering people. This is very similar to Buddhism.”
“In addition, I will try my best to help the Saint Mothers become Zenith Heaven Immortals.”
Zenith Heaven Immortals!
Qingqiu could not help but ask, “What qualifications do you need to become a Saint Mother?”
Bai Qi lifted her fair chin and smiled. “If you satisfy me. This is qualification.”
Qingqiu blushed. She was still unaccustomed to Bai Qi’s frivolous behavior toward female cultivators.
Another female immortal looked at Bai Qi expectantly.
Zenith Heaven Immortals were still transcendent existences.
Empress Xiaohe asked, “Then how many Saint Mothers are you prepared to appoint?”
“Twelve. I am prepared to hold a grand event similar to the Myriad Realms Battle Convention of the Heavenly Court, so that the twelve Saint Mothers would be more recognized.” Bai Qi smiled and revealed a yearning expression.
During her master’s days of seclusion, she did not feel much distress. Therefore, she wanted to have some fun. In fact, this was also meaningful.
If the twelve Saint Mothers were all Zenith Heaven Immortals, then she would be even more powerful!
Right now, the most powerful sect in the Zenith Heaven Sect only had three Zenith Heaven Immortals!
Empress Xiaohe sighed and said, “Speaking of the Myriad Realms Battle Convention, His Majesty the Celestial Emperor has done a good job. It has become a good story. Many fellow Daoists are looking forward to the next convention. Unfortunately, the interval between each convention is too long.”
The Myriad Realms Battle Convention had ended, and it had shocked the entire Immortal Dao. Even the Taiyi Immortal Realm had many rumors about it. Other than the first place who obtained the Zenith Heaven Dao Fruit, the top 100 had all obtained excellent rewards. There were even Great Dao Crystals obtained from ancient orthodoxies that could help people comprehend the Great Dao.
In that convention, all the Zenith Heaven Immortals went to watch and gave the Heavenly Court enough face. Bai Qi also planned to invite all the Zenith Heaven Immortal to add more credibility for the twelve Saint Mothers.
Qingqiu nodded vigorously and said, “That’s right. Tens of millions of years is too long. Saint Mother, please ask His Majesty to shorten the time.”
Bai Qi rolled his eyes at her and said angrily, “Waiting tens of millions of years is also a kind of training for the Immortal Emperors. Besides, is the Zenith Heaven Dao Fruit that easy to create?”
“That’s true.”
Qingqiu muttered.
Empress Xiaohe suddenly asked, “Recently, another transcendent orthodoxy has conspired against the Immortal Dao. Does the Dao Ancestor know about this?”
She was worried that the Dao Ancestor would be in seclusion and neglect the outside world. She had encountered such a situation once before. She was in seclusion when an enemy invaded the Lingxiao Sect.
Bai Qi said in disdain, “No matter how strong that Zhou Gua is, can they be as strong as the Supreme Intention or Greed? They are just a group of people who overestimate their abilities. There’s no need for Master to take action. Can’t the Zenith Heaven Immortals deal with them?”
Zhou Gua was a transcendent orthodoxy that had recently intruded into this domain. They came with great momentum and captured many immortal cultivators to search for information about the Immortal Dao. This matter had already spread throughout the Mental Wander Realm.
Empress Xiaohe still had some reservations. She had a feeling that Zhou Gua was a force as powerful as the Supreme Intention, or perhaps even stronger.
She still could not forget the momentum of the Punishment Lord and Lord Wu Xiang. They were not existences that Zenith Heaven Immortals could defeat. Moreover, the current Immortal Dao did not have a second Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortal. Even the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor could not break through to the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm.
Bai Qi stood up and smiled. “Alright, I should go to the next place.”
She was here to consolidate her relationship with the Zenith Heaven Immortals. Next, she should pay a visit to the next Zenith Heaven Immortal and pave the way for the Saint Mother Convention.
Empress Xiaohe stood up to send her off.
Qingqiu and the fairies beside him stood up and bowed. They did not follow because they knew that their master had something to discuss with the Saint Mother.
After they left, the fairies looked at Qingqiu and asked through voice transmission, “Do you think the Saint Mother is a Zenith Heaven Immortal?”
Qingqiu glared at her and replied, “Naturally. Don’t you feel that her aura is no weaker than master? Also, she mentioned her plan to help the Saint Mothers become Zenith Heaven Immortals. This means that she has used merit to become a Zenith Heaven cultivator.”
When the fairies heard that, they came to a sudden realization and looked forward to becoming a Saint Mother even more.
In a dim hall, clusters of cyan flames floated under the ceiling.
A figure in a wide black robe sat in front of a huge cauldron with a huge flame burning in it. It was also cyan and was burning fiercely, lengthening his shadow.
Under the brim of his hat, his face was like a skeleton, extremely terrifying. His hands moved in front of his abdomen, as fast as an afterimage, as if he was deducing something.
“Have you really decided to attack the Immortal Dao? The Supreme Intention and Greed have yet to take revenge, which means that the Immortal Dao possesses more strength than a single False Dao Lord.”
A voice floated over with a calm tone.
A dark purple phantom appeared from the darkness. It seemed to be condensed from purple flames and had a terrifying aura.
The black-robed man answered, “Before I fully understand it, I will not attack the Immortal Dao. I am just very interested in the Immortal Dao. Even though the Immortal Dao has yet to transcend, such an orthodoxy seems to have appeared a long time ago. I can’t remember where I have seen it before.”
The dark purple phantom asked, “What do you want to do?”
“Naturally, we will use Zhou Gua’s methods to disturb the Immortal Dao and see how the Dao Ancestor will deal with it. Zhou Gua is far away from the Immortal Dao, so it is impossible for the Dao Ancestor to kill his way here. If he was that ruthless, he would have marched his way to the Supreme Intention long ago.”
The black-robed man stopped his hand gesture and slowly stood up.
The dark purple phantom said, “Zhou Gua is naturally not afraid of him coming. I just feel that there is no profit in provoking the unknown Immortal Dao.”
The black-robed man snorted and said, “That might not be the case. For me to be so interested, it must be related to those former rulers. Even if it is to inherit the broken inheritance of those ruler, it will help to resolve Zhou Gua’s predicament. If I am satisfied with the performance of the Immortal Dao, I will give the Dao Ancestor an irresistible benefit.”
The dark purple phantom shook its head and said, “I don’t think there is any orthodoxy in that area that can help Zhou Gua. The Supreme Intention and Greed are just apprehensive to take revenge for the time being. The needless death of the two False Dao Lords cannot be forgotten. If you intend to rope them in, they will be jointly destroyed by the Supreme Intention and Greed. Your efforts will be wasted. Zhou Gua does not have the energy to help the Immortal Dao deal with the Supreme Intention and Greed.”
