Chapter 204 The Immortal Path Loses Unity
The sun rises in the east, casting golden rays across the sky.
With his back to Dongwanggong, Donghuang Taiyi, the strongest being in the starry sky, examined the seal condensed by the Heavenly Dao. The Celestial Court was gathering the fortune of the Celestial Dao.
The Eastern King was very nervous, but he was helpless because it was far inferior to the First King in every aspect.
Their background, cultivation level, prestige, and influence are all inferior to the other party's.
Kunpeng played with the Demon Refining Pot to comprehend the Heavenly Dao Seal. This was the product of a conspiracy between Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, and it was a terrifying test.
Protected by golden light, Donghuang Taiyi looked at the seal of the Celestial Court's ruler and asked, "May I ask, Ancestor, is the leader of the Celestial Court appointed by you, or elected by us?"
silence
Speechless
The seal of the Celestial Court Lord glowed. Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained silent, but all the powerful immortals knew that Dao Ancestor was watching what was happening here.
Di Jun frowned slightly. The most intelligent being in the starry sky was unwilling to see Taiyi challenge the majesty of the Dao Ancestor.
Was the Dao Ancestor's silence tacit approval or dissatisfaction?
Holding twin swords, Styx spoke sharply: "The path of immortals is one of freedom and unrestrained existence. Their leaders should not be appointed. Does Heaven believe it can arbitrarily determine our fate?"
Donghuang Taiyi questioned Daozu.
The Blood Sea and the Styx River questioned the will of Heaven.
No one bothered Dongwanggong, because even the Great Luo Golden Immortals knew that Dongwanggong was just a figurehead, a tool used by the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao to test the waters.
Even the first choice for the Lord of the Celestial Court might not be the Eastern King Duke.
Haotian aligns with the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor, and the Golden Mother is an even better candidate.
The Queen Mother of the West held a grand gathering at Yaochi. The Ancestor of the Immortals said helplessly, "My brother and I have no intention of monopolizing the position of the Lord of the Immortal Court. We have simply invited all of you fellow Daoists to discuss and decide, and naturally we must find the most suitable candidate."
The four ferocious beasts exchanged glances and nudged each other, saying, "How do we choose? By cultivation level or prestige?"
"The Twelve Ancestral Witches recommended their brothers and sisters; the Three Pure Ones disliked the existence of the Celestial Court; by what right did the Lord of the Celestial Court ascend to the throne!"
Myriad rays of light
Ruicai Thousand Strips
The position of Lord of the Immortal Court was highly coveted, and the Primordial Golden Immortals debated it one by one, each with a different opinion.
The Three Pure Ones advocated against the existence of a Celestial Court or Heavenly Court, because all previous Heavenly Courts had met with bad ends and were eventually overthrown by later rulers.
Nuwa told Fuxi that the advantages and disadvantages of autocracy and rule were obvious, resulting in either great peace or great chaos.
Kong Xuan participated in the meeting out of boredom, while the Great Luo Golden Immortal merely listened in, not quite understanding what the Primordial Golden Immortals were arguing about.
Ancestor Hongyun complained, "Then let them take turns serving as the ruler of the Celestial Court. All the Primordial Golden Immortals will rotate positions, and whoever doesn't perform well will step down."
Zhen Yuanzi sighed softly, "Then who will ascend to the throne first? That's another big problem. What if a Primordial Golden Immortal becomes even more powerful by leveraging the immortal's fortune, luck, and blessings, and then refuses to abdicate?"
"Zhen Yuanzi, who are you being sarcastic to?"
The Ancestral Witches believed that the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals was targeting the Twelve Ancestral Witches, since the Ancestral Witches had the most Primordial Golden Immortals in the Immortal Path.
Secondly, the Starry Sky Primordial Golden Immortal was dissatisfied because the five Primordial experts had been targeted by the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals.
The argument was like a marketplace, with neither side willing to back down.
Kunpeng looked at the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor in the darkness. Now that the Immortal Dao is flourishing and supreme, the nemesis of the Immortal Dao will inevitably be born.
The Immortal Path is powerful when united, so let's make the Immortal Path not united.
Whoever enjoys the fortune of immortality will make rapid progress; this is the core of the contradiction.
Water overflows when it is full, and the moon wanes when it is full.
The Celestial Venerable of Freedom foresaw the decline of the Immortal Path at its most prosperous time!
While quietly watching the drama unfold
With his back against the Fusang Divine Tree, the Ancestor of Immortals spoke: "This seal possesses a spirit. Whoever holds it will possess the fortune and destiny of immortality, but not every Primordial Golden Immortal can control it."
The water god Gonggong scoffed, "Oh, so you, Dongwanggong, believe that you are the only one destined to rule the celestial court?"
Styx sneered, "Hahaha, there are at least eight or ten people here who are stronger than you. Anyone can have a mere seal."
"Then you should give it a try."
"If all Primordial Golden Immortals could wield the Imperial Seal, then we would take turns serving as the ruler of the Celestial Court."
"Very well, you, Lord Dongwang, do have some ambition. Then I, Zhurong, will show it to you."
After speaking
The fire god Zhurong stepped forward, but was immediately stopped by Dijun.
Styx realized what was happening and cursed the Ancestral Witch for being shameless and pretending to be a brute who wanted to be the first to take over.
Xuan Du was calm and collected, and even the top disciple of the Human Sect was speechless. The strongest cultivators in the immortal path were too noisy!
The most sophisticated battles are surprisingly simple and unpretentious, like children interacting.
"The first person to try cannot aspire to be the ruler of the Celestial Court, otherwise they may be unwilling to relinquish power."
"Then let's choose Demon Master Kunpeng. The Carefree Celestial Venerable doesn't like being bound."
With everyone's support, Kunpeng stood up and explained, "I agree that the immortal path should have a unified organization, but I am unwilling to be the first to try it. Let the Three Pure Ones go first."
As is well known, the Three Pure Ones opposed the establishment of a Celestial Court or Heavenly Court.
After the three Pure Ones looked at each other, Lingbao Tianzun had a wicked idea: he would take the opportunity to shatter the seal.
With the approval of the Supreme Lord of Morality and the nod of the Supreme Lord of Primordial Beginning, the Supreme Lord of Spiritual Treasure was the first to attempt to access the seal.
Shangqing reached for the seal and involuntarily uttered wild words.
"In heaven and on earth, I am the only one who reigns supreme."
The Primordial Heavenly Venerable was greatly alarmed, and the Moral Heavenly Venerable intervened to rescue them. The Three Pure Ones jointly took control of the seal.
"Only the Chan Sect can save the primordial world; none of you can."
"Only the Chan Sect can save the primordial world; none of you can."
Yuqing was also nearly out of control, only the Supreme Lord of Morality remained clear-headed, and the Supreme Lord rescued his two younger brothers with one hand each.
"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, wielding the power of the Immortal Path can even cause a Primordial Golden Immortal to lose their way. Fellow Daoists, please proceed!"
The Three Pure Ones suffered a setback, and the plans of the three religious leaders failed.
The twelve Ancestral Witches and the powerful figures of the Starry Sky Heavenly Court took turns touching the seal, but none of them could control it.
Even someone as powerful as Taiyi couldn't do it; the Chaos Bell covered the seal, but the innate treasure was overturned.
Kunpeng retreated behind the crowd. He realized that it was the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor who were behind this, and they did not recognize the rotation of Hunyuan Golden Immortals as the rulers of the Celestial Court.
Nuwa, Fuxi, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, and others tried it one by one.
After his defeat, Styx roared, "I refuse to accept this! Why is it that Heaven has ordained this? Why must the Dao Ancestor control our path to immortality?"
The Blood Sea Lord's fearless boasting naturally led to cause and effect, inspiring respect and admiration for the Blood Sea Ancestor's courage.
You can challenge the Dao Ancestor, but do you have the strength to do so?
You may be dissatisfied with the fate woven by Heaven, but can you change it?
The attempt to guide and assist in the practice failed.
When it was Kunpeng's turn, the Demon Master said in a deep voice, "Kong Xuan, you go and give it a try."
Under the intense gazes of a group of Primordial Golden Immortals, Kong Xuan, the proud peacock, scoffed, "Master, stop messing around!"
"You're acting on my behalf; anyone with objections can keep them to themselves."
One breath later
The five-colored divine light dimmed, and Kong Xuan was repelled by the seal.
After Kunpeng healed Kong Xuan, it avoided the seal as if it were a plague god, and did not want to confront the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor before reaching the Quasi-Saint realm.
最后
The Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother successfully removed the seal, and the immortal energy flowed into the body of the ancestral immortal. The two immediately severed their third corpses.
Heaven's Way approves
Favored by the Dao Ancestor and True Saint
The seal of the Celestial Court shone brightly, entrusting itself to the third corpse of the progenitor of immortals.
The Eastern King Duke declared with great confidence, "A new era has begun, and the Celestial Court represents the most fundamental interests of the Immortal Path."
The Queen Mother of the West, with her dignified and graceful demeanor, said, "May the path of immortality prosper forever! Let us work together for the sake of our immortal path!"
No powerful immortals offered their congratulations; only Di Jun and Di Jiang exclaimed in unison, "Interesting, truly interesting! Is this the meaning behind the establishment of the Celestial Court?"
Witnessing history
Witnessing history once again
Kunpeng pulled Kong Xuan away, and the Immortal Path lost its unity, making the outbreak of conflict inevitable.
